Raise tho Curtain.


Raise the curtain-let the brightness
OF your cheerful light shine forth;
To the passers In the darkness
1t may be of vital worth;
Give glimpse to lonely wand rers
OF your household full OF JOY,
1t may rouse to new ambition
Some poor, fricndless, tempted boy.
Raise the curtain-we are kindred
Each 70 ell is bound by ties
Which forbid o selfish shutting
OF ourselves from others eyes;
Share your light and share your blessir.s
God hath made the whole world kin,
And HIS love SO universal
Takes the weakest sinner in.
Raise the curtain OF your window,
Raise the curtain OF your mind;
Do not let possessions make you
To the wants OF others blind.
Helping others we are strengthened.
Giving we are richer made;
And no one 30 strong or patient
But some time hath need OF aid.

A GRIST OF GOOD POETRY.

The Sweetest Thing In Print
Her eyes were blue US larkspurs are,
Like the maFigolds her hair,
Her lips as red as peoples, and
No lily was more fair.
A gown of calico she wore,
The ground of softest gray.
With here and there upon II cast
A pink sweetbriar spray.
Twas fashioned in the simplest way,
But never finest dress
Inclosed graceful, girllsh form
OF greater loneliness.
She was poem in herself,
Aye, one in which no hint
OF discord dwelt, this country maid,
The sweetest thing in print.

AGRICULTURE.

The greatest difficulty for the farmer to
understand is. that agriculture is a science;
and this ditticu.tyis the main obstacle to
the progress of farming. The producer
deserves far more credit, than the consumer,
and he that makes two stalks Of grain to
grow where only one grew before deserves
the homage Of his fellow man.
In the pursuit of agriculture man comes
close to nature. She reveals to him her Sc
orets, and opens to him her hidden stores :;
make him her assistant in the distribution
Of her bountics TO all her children. When
the Almighty first made man in his own i'm
age, he put him in the garden Of Eden, t.
dress it and to keep it; plaiuy signifying
that to be the noblest calling. And there is
to-day, no more lofty and honorable avoca-
ton fer q true man than tiling the soil.
He may constantly commune through ma
turc with natures Col. Then his humble
possessions are the honest earnings Of honest
labor and he can at all times lift his hands
before the werld aud claim that they are un-
spotted Ly the "rapine of ayarice," or
plumber of the helpless.

sALEsDAY.

AS we are professional observers of the
Sabbath, why do our laws, or custom. re-
quire our Saledsys, to beon Monday, there =
by inducing man farmers who live in the
remote parts of our largo counties, to break
the day Of rest, in order to be at the Court
Houses in time on Monday? Why can't
South Carolina adopt the custom Of Georgia,
and have Saleday on Tuesday? BY having
Saleday on Tuesday, many tiresides would
remain undisturbed on Sunday, many minds
uuperplexed, and many lawyers unconsul-
ted many SINS uncommitted.
In connection with Saleday, Spartanburg
has n monthly Bone Yard exposition,
and was panied on returning from Sunday
School yesterday to be overtaken by a cara
van of wagons, aud white men and boys,
(sons of prominent church membcrs,) and
poor horses, and "niggers," and mules, in
one conglomerated crowd, hurrying on for
the "Bone Yard"
One youth accosted me thus, as he passed
"Iiave you over been to Spartauburg on
Saledsy? It's equal to o circus" l esn
imagine as l now sit in my quiet room
hearing only the voice of innocent children,
what motley crowd hovers about the
Spartanburg Bone Yard" Some gentle
men, of course, but many frenzied with
Spartanburg ire-water are hurling lies,
backed by oa,hs, III each others ears, as
they make their old horses and mules put
on their best looks.
