Ghosts Disappearing.

The breed of ghosts is running down
and out, there is no doubt about it.
There was a time within the memory
of many OF us that q ghost had some
style about him. We used to know of
haunted houses that we could put our
hand right on, where windows were
shaken by unseen hands-farm hands,
perhaps; where doors opened at dead
hours of the night, ard pale ghosts
candle in hand, looked in to inspect the
condition of things. There We're local
tiles, too, where they were seen very
often, sometimes on white horse
which snorted fire.
Children used to huddle in the cor
ner to hear those stories, and then the
blood did not stagnate. No, indeed; il
coursed very lively through the veins
at these recitals. 1t is so different
ihow. Those good old ghost stories
which grnndmas used to begin with
"When l was girl" are all laid aside,
as ghosts have been "laid," not bv holy
water but by science. Tell girl OF
the present day about ghost with
fiery breath being seen down in a lonely
swamp Mt night, and she will immedi.
ately proceed to give you scientific
explanation of the ignis tatuats, and
like as not hasten down there all alone
to investigate the phenomena.
There isn't a decent ghost to be
found now. The old New England
Primer is a thing of the past, with its
skeleton and scythe and couplet:
s,rhne cuts down all,
Both great and small"

THEIR EYES.
BY LYDIA PLATr RICHARDS.

May's ewes are blue. celestial bright,
They flash with radiant, rapturous light,
So love-lt and so genial, KIND,
Like windows to her brilliant mind.
Tad's eyes are brown-a wondrous tint;
They fla sh and glow and glance and CLINT:
Their beams 50 bright, they seem to burn,
And from their fires you wisely turn,
Maud's eyes are gray-deceptivo shade;
No danger makes them turn afraid.
Dauntless and calm, with modest mir,
They may be true-yet still, bewnrel
Jess eyes are hazel, full OF fire;
They glow with love or flash with ire;
Their light uncertain. warm or cold,
Their secrets are too freely told.
Pearls eyes are black, with fnr-on light;
Sunlike, they are surprising bright;
The flame of genius seems to shine
In her eyes with light divine.

v an abiding trust founded on
D. an understanding of each
others faults as well as
virtues, marriage is the direst curse
that can befall a woman. Let us fit
our daughters, as we do our sons,
to be self-reliant and self-sup-
porting; let it be an understood
thing that girl is not to be a parlor
boarder in her home, parader in Van
ity Fair, useless as thistle down, help
less and idle as peacock. and there
will be fewer crushed hearts and vast
ed lives from ill-assorted marriages. If
1 were rich as Vanderbilt and blue
blooded as prince of the Orange
stock my daughters should follow
a profession or learn trade, and
thus be fitted to take an active
rather than passive part in life. Do
you ever ask for an explanation of the
difference as to wrinkles, bent shoul-
ders and hollow eyes in men and
women of the same age? A man at 40
is little more than a boy grown tall.
His physical powers are at their best,
his nerves mistaken. A woman at the
same age is often wreck. And why?
Did you ever think of how many things
the wife has to think of and plan for
in domestic life, while her husbands
mind is centered only upon one? What
man goes to his counting house or desk
and bends over his accounts with
visions dancing before him of how his
last years trousers can be dyed, and
turned, and cut over to fit the require
ments of this seasons fashion? What
man is called upon to solve the prob
lem of what in Egypt to get to eat
three times day for 365 days in
mortal year? What man has to keep
trotting up and down stairs to answer
calls and nurse cross babies, and
direct green girls, and find lost balls,
until his back and his legs "go
queer" and he covers his face with his
coat-tail and weeps aloud? The aver
age man goes out into this world and
chooses his life as men pick ripe peach
es off a tree-all summed and sweetened
to the taste, with a flavor that never
pals, but endures with infinite gusto
to the end. The average woman takes
her life canned and labeled to order,
like the same fruit prepared without
regard to individual taste or selection.
Destiny did up the job and shelved it;
all there is left for her to do is to adapt
herself to the inevitable, and not yearn
any more than she can help after the
unattainable. Blessed be the girls
whom wise parents and benefcent
providence have put in the way of
choosing their own peaches from out
the orchard where they ripen and red
den i'll the sun, rather than accepting
them in a tin can with trade mark
cover from the wholesale stock of un-
discriminating destiny"

Setting the Fashion,

Hard work will accomplish wonders,
but it will not take the place of genius.
Some things must be done suddenly
and in moment of inspiration. A
writer in the Philadelphia Record
mentions case in point, case in
which a social revolution was wrought,
so to speak, by stamp of the foot.
| once found a celebrated milliner
in tears because a gem of hat, the
result of many attempts, had failed to
suit very fussy customer Her feel
ings getting the better of her iudg-
ment, she threw the condemned hat
on the floor, and jumped ON it, crush
ing it into an entirely new shape.
A clerk, who had seen this outburst
of temper, put the misused hat away
in the drawer. Half an hour later a
lady customer came in, and another
clerk, after showing her nearly all the
hats and bonnets in the stock and fall
ing to please her fancy, brought forth
the crashed hat, with the remark ::
Here is something that will suit you u"
To my surprise it did suit her. She,
purchased it, and insisted upon wear
ing it at once. Calling at the same
place a week afterward, / was told
that some half dozen hats had been
made like the crushed one, and were
being worn bv very fashionable people.

The Drawing Of Juries.
+ Ud,halld Courier. I

The remedy for all such miscar-
riages of justice, we believe, can be
found in the faithful execution of the
laws now on our statute book concern
ing the drawing of juries.
There is in each county board of
jurycommissioners, composed of three
men, one of whom is appointed by the
Governor, and known as the jury
commissioner, the other two being the
county auditor and chairman of the.
board of county commissioners.
What are the requirements Of the
law as to the essential qualifications of
the Jurors to be selected by this board :?
Section 1926 of the general statutes
prescribes that "The board of jury
commissioners of each county shall,
once in every year, during the month
of January, prepare list of such in
habitants of their respective counties,
not absolutely exempt, as they may
think well qualified to serve as jurors,
being persons Of good moral character,
Of sound judgment, and free from all le-
gal exception, Italics ours, which list
shall include not less than one from
every twenty voters, nor more than
one from every ten voters Of their re-
spective counties"
Here is given the essential personal
qualifications of the men whose names
are to be put in the jury box from
which the jurors for the year are to
be drawn. They must be persons of
good moral character, of sound judg
ment as well as free from all legal ex-
ception.
There is therefore a most response
BILE duty to be performed by the board
of jury commissioners in preparing
the list of jurors who shall compose
the juries for any one year. They are
charged with the solemn duty Of Sc
lecting none but persons of good
moral character and OF sound judg
ment, as we'll rs those who are free
from all legal exception. Let the jury
box be filed with men who are clean,
strong, intelligent, upright, honest
and honorable, and we will not hear
so much hue and cry about frequent
miscarriages of Justice

A most disastrous cloud burst oc-
CURED near the Wateree river last
Thursday. The railroads were so
washed that trains were stopped for
nearly a day on the S. c. R. R., and
for three days on the W. c. & A. R.
r. It is said that at Gadsens, on the
S. C. r. R., there was an unprece-
dented fall of twelve inches of rain in
two hours, and that the place was COW
cred with water two and q half feet
deep. Serious wasbouts occurred
near Eastover and Wedge6eld. A train
carrying q number of hands to repair
the Eastover washout ran into the
Wedgefeld washout, ,-h:'sslso LING one hand
and injuring nine others, and- totally
wrecking the train. The mail train
from Columbia arrived here nearly
two hours late. It is said the water
was then running through the cut
near Wedgefeld in perfect torrent,
and that the train hands had to get
out and walk ahead of the train to
keep floating debris off the track. The
water was then foot above the iron
rails. All damage, however has been
repaired, and the trains are going
through safely.

Caterpillars have appeared in some
places in this county, and should they
appear as usual in large armies, the
cotton crop will be very seriously in,
jured. We notice in one Of our ex-
changes a simple plan for their de-
struction, and one worth trial. As
soon as the first few caterpillars are
noticed, build fires in or near the cot
ton field, either by 'setting an old
stump on fire or by burning a large
outdoor oil lamp. The few moths
then around will fly into the flames,
and destroy themselves before they
have deposited their eggs which pro-
duce the caterpillars. The fires should
of course be kept up every night until
the danger is over. The plan is sim.
Pile, and certainly worth a trial.
