OUR HOPES.
RY EMMA x. ouIGLEY.

Spring came: OCT all the world she flung Her treasures rich and rare: bFiRht leaves burst forth with pulsing life, And blossoms sweet and fair. And soon up from the sun kissed earth VIII rise the waving grain, And bId and blossoms fruit will bring Bathed Ia the summers rain. Some buds will fall: not all the grain A ROlfen harVes. brings, Though why tis thus we cannot tell Life deep from mystery springs. So, in the sprinRtime of our life Fair buds of promise bloom: We pray that glad IrIItion may Te all our dear hopes come. But asth seasons come and Rp. some hopes must fail at last: Like milestones on ltfe's changeiul way. Their graves Will mark Ihe past And yet tis ours to work and wait, And trust that wisdom blesI VIII bring From all our cherished hopes The iruitage that is best.

A Fascinating Maj
OnceA Week.

Virtue, unfortunately, does not fas- cinate. The veriest sooundrel that ever drew breath Is apt to be & thou sand fold more magnetic than he who, having marked out an ethical path for himself, proceeds religiously to follow it. All women like insinuating man. ners. They represent, as 1t were, what a garniture of trufiles represents on an entree. They give flavor as we'll as artistic beauty. The fascinating man is always a skilled artist. He must assume, if he have it not, a tenderness that never loses sight of itself, and he must continually show an apprecia- tion that presents him always in the light of suppliant on pended knee, and never as one who demands or ex- poets nything.
 man who would fascinate must begin by fiAttering a woman's vanity. But he must likewise take care that his modus 0perGndi Is never discovered or its existence ever suspected. Other wise he is lost. The courage and inde- pendence born of possession unfortu- nately incite to the reckless expression of absolute truth, and a man who de- sires to please 6 woman should never tell the whole truth. Suggest 1t, play with it, ignore 1t entirely, but reveal it, never! The Latin races are adopts in the art of fascination. Why? Be- cause they are always lovers, or pre- tend to be lovers, which in the end amounts to the same thing.
 Emerson expressed an unalterable truth when he said: "All the world loves lover" But in order to be & lover 1t Is not necessary to rush into vulgar protestation of affection. A glance of the eye, pressure of the hand, the particular curl of the lip In a smile, the hundred trivial courtesies that appeal to the feminine sympa- thies, are embodied in the man who fascinates. And when he has once mastered the secret of feminine inclin- atiOn and the special qualifications of feminine taste his way is clearly marked. Be he ugly as Satan he will not fail in personal magnetism.

Our Richland Correspondence.

RCHLANp, S. c., Aug. 27, 1889.
DEAR Courier: For the present,
the trustees Of the Richland Educa-
tional Enterprise have decided that
it will be better for the patrons to
select teacher, and a meeting Of
our citizens on Saturday oath re-
suited in the election of Mr.. NJ. S.
Stribling, Jr, rs principal teacher
for our first school, to commence
November 1st, next. AS the ap-
pcarance of good school brightcns,
moro interest in the building is man
ifestcd, and almost every week some
of our ncighbors come to the front
to offer us pccuniary help. Who
will be the next? We would like to
dispose of shares at ten dollars each
to the amount Of about one hundred
dollars yet and hope that some one
who expects to use this academy as
a convenience in educating his sons
and daughters, will como and Join
us. This enterprise will not only
improve educational facilities, but
will also enhance the value of real
estate.
We are sorry to learn that Mcssrs.
w. G. and j. NJ. Foster are quite
sick with chills and fever at River
side, Ala. We hope to hear more
favorable news from them soon.
Mcssrs. G. j. Strothcr and ~. II.
IIughs arrived yesterday from
Ozark, Ala, where they have been
engaged building new railroad
from Bainbridgc, Ga, to Montgc M
cry, Ala. They have been gone
ever since last January and we are
glad to sec them looking quite we'll.
Why don't the railroad companies
have separate apartments for their
colorcd and white passengers ? We
think they could arrange to give a
colorcd passenger first class fare
without placing them as mixture
all through the car And even in
the second class car why can't they
be separated? We hope to see
something done in this direction.

There was a great laughter in 1879
among English Liberals over Lord
Beaconsfeld's prediction that the
wheat fields of Manitoba had n promi-
ncnt part to play in the future
of Canada, the idea then being gen
cral that Manitoba was little better
than frozen swamp. But this pre-
diction, like some others that "Dizzy''
made, has come true. In fact, it falls
short of the truth, as it is found that
Minnesota and Dokata are but tho
Southern border of a vast area of the
finest possible wheat lands stretching
away toward the North Pole. The
largest part of the great wheat belt
Of North America is found to be in
Canada. Between Ontario and the
Rocky Mountains there are nearly a
million square miles of fine, deep,
rich soil suited to the production of
hard grain. Not only is the grain
grown there of the best, but produc-
ton per acre is the greatest. The
Canadian Pacific is now fringed with
the settlements in the region in ques-
ton, but in few years the popula-
tion must be vastly increased by i'm
migration.
