THE utmost we can conceive of Human
tenderness, holiness. truth, though it tell
us all we know, can yetsuggest to us on
ly the minutest fraction of what must be
the Divine tendesness, holiness, love.
But this is not to be proved by argu-
ment, although argument is necessary
and inevitable, the mind being what it
is. 1t can only be proved by living, by
taking it into our hearts-by every little
victory we gain over the evil self.

THE heroic soul does not sell its just
ice and its nobleness. 1t does not ask to
dine nicely and to sleep warm. The es-
sence of greatness is the perception that
virtue is enough. Poverty is its orna-
ment. 1t does not need plenty, and can
very well abide its loss.

THE true mode of life is to live more
beautifully than the occasions and cir

You are to create out of yourself

MEN may preach and the world will
listen; but profit comes by example. A
parent inculcates gentleness in his chill
dren by many sound precepts; but they
see him treat dumb animal in very
harsh manner, and, in consequence. his
instructions are worse than lost, for they
are neither needed nor respected. His
example as a gentle and humane man
would have been sufficient for his chill
dren without one word of command.
THE love which every child brings
with it is in Itself the strongest indica-
tion of the needs of childhood. Love is
like sunshine; without it there can be
no harmonious growth OF development.
As well expect fruit tree to bear deli
cious fruit in a cellar as expect child
to grow upinto symmetrical manhood OF
womanhood without love. Nurtured in
an atmosphere of love. a child's val ious
powers expands in unconscious but har-
monious beauty.

THE early riser has always an hour or

The cotton, rice and sugar crops
Of the South are almost the only
source Of revenue for the people Of
the South, and when these crops in
the aggregate do not bring as much
- is spent by the people for goods
and products Of other States and
countries, there is bound to be $
deficit. This must assuredly have
been the case for the last two years,
and this accounts for the scarcity
Of money and the immense amount
Of unpaid indebtedness. There are
only two ways that this can be
changed, and it would be well 20
use both of them. One is to buy
less, the other is 10 make our pro-
ducts bring more.

The natural increase in cleared
land and the new land taken in the
prairies Of Texas will amount to at
least Is per cent. The present
crop will be fully 5000, 900 bales,
and there Is no prospect of one
ever being smaller. When cotton

A COUNTRY WITHOUT
FENCES.

South Carolina is : country with
out fences, writes y correspondent,
and it is . vast improvement in the
landscape, as well as great saving
in money. Itlooks odd At first on
the big, level plains Pn which Aiken
stands to see . g{eat stretch Of
country unbroken BY . single fence,
and here and there < house or barn
without any protesting walls OF
fences. The Legislature has abol.
ished fences by decl3ring that every
man is entitled to enjoy his own
land, without interference or dam
age from his neiShbor's cattle.
That Is, if 1 own ito scrubby and
hungry pigs and yoS have . thou.
sand-acre farm next door, I must
keep my pigs ut home and not
compel you to spent half your sub
stances in building fence around
your farm. Life, liberty and the
keeping Of pigs and mules are al
sacred under the South Carolina
constitution, but the man who owns
the pigs or mules o. any other ami
mails must fence th} m in or other
wise cOnfine then. II they run
loose or break lod ke and do any
damage. their 0wnsr must pay for
it.
This is the most tensible solution
Of fence problem tfat I have ever
seen or heard Of! 1t is entirely
new to me, 90 1: enjoy it all the
more, and the more l think Of It the
more sensible it Deems. 1t goes
right down to the root Of justice.
Here you have in New York State
or in New Jersy q thousand acres
Of land or hundred acres, or any
other quantity. ane you are entitled
to reap and enjci the fruits Of
your labor on the capital invested
in that land without let or hind

SENTIMENTS OF THE PRESS

The Shreveport Times says:
Snow that the heat and excitement
Of the recent campaign is about
over, and all are disposed to view
the result with dispassioeate calm
ness. the Times will speak few
plain words in the interest Of Dem
ocratic harmony. The Tines, as it
said yesterday morning, has no
apologies to offer or regiets to ex-
press for anything it mat have said
or done during the cams,aign. At
the outset it espoused tie cause Of
Samuel d. McEnery. for good and
sufficient reasons, given time and
again during the long and bitter
campaign, and not necessary to re-
count now. The Times;was always
in the front rank Of thee fight, and
never lowered its colors. to the enc
my for moment. THO contest is
over and the result, wlsle not yet
officially promulgated, seems to be
that Murphy J. Foster rin be de-
clared the duly elected Eovernor Of
the State of Louisiana: Recognize
ing this fact, We arelprepared to
accept the official decree just the
same as we would haze expected
Mr.. Foster and his friends to have
accepted it had the conditions been
reversed"
"Now that the campaign is over,
says the Franklin Sum-. ''let all per-
sonal political animos,ties die with
the campaign; let every Democrat
go to work to build up the State.
In the future, as in the past, the
Sun will be found working for
what we consider the interests OF
our people, and now THAT the danger
of Republican rule is ;ssver, We hope
that new era Of prosperity may
dawn in our land"
The Crowley Signal, in commence
ing on the result of Tuesdays cleo
ton, continues: "while We cannot
approve the undemodratic methods
which gave a questionable victory
over S. d. McEnery: and his asso-
ciates, yet We how toShe will Of the
majority and will a!ssit develop
ments in the futurd to prove the
wisdom Of the choice! made by the
people in placing Mr.. Foster in
the gubernational Chair. To this
end we say let all faetional differ
ences and animosities be dropped
let all political predju3ice be buried,
and let us live in.hope that Mr..
Foster, as governor;of Louisiana.
will put away his par.ism and per-
sonal feeling and be tie Chief Magis-
trate Of the whole people, irrespec-
tive of party factions. Now, let
