LIVING TOO FAsT.-Men are living
too fast Idleness and independence
have begotten TO pride and discomfort.
The age is thirsty for luxury. The
very paupers of our city scorn the
patched garments and simple fare
which once satisfied the well-to-do;
the young clerk must live in house
about as luxuriously furnished as his
employers, though he steal to sup
port his establishment; the servants
rival theii mistresses in the costliness
and elaborateness Of their attire,
though to do it, they waste tho saw
ings which they may need to keep
them from want and ruin. The young
couple who begin at home must have
it as richly decorated as that Of those
who have labored for years; and there
is an utter unwilGngness on the part
of too many to be content with simple
surroundings. We must change our
standards Of Judgment, and learn to
rate the people at what they are, and
not what they have. This is money
worshiping age men of vicious princi-
les, through the clink Of gold summon
hosts of admirers, others are tolerat-
ed for the baubles the mob scramble
for; and still others are permitted to
occupy posts of honor in church and
State which they only obtain by their
wealth. Men live in the fear Of gold,
and not of God and seek the honor
of man and not the honor that cometh
from above.


There should be return to moro
simple, more honest ways of living.
1t should be deemed dishonorable to
live beyond ones means: no man
should be encouraged to spend few
feverish years in luxury at the risk
of breaking down and making dis
honorable ending.

PUBLICATION OF SHERIFF's SALES
The Western Jxrist for October con-
tains 8 report Of decision by the
Supreme Court Of this State, on an
appeal from Cherokee county, to the
effect that section 306 Of the code,
which gives the Sheriff authority to
designate the newspapers in which
notices pertaining to his Office shall
be published, does not give him au-
thority TO designate the paper in
which execution sales shall bo pub
lished. The plaintiff has this right
under section 1882. The practice has
been for the Sheriff to send arbitrari.
ly all his sale notices to his party
organ, but this decision gives the
party interested in the sale the right
to have the publication in any paper
he may desire, notwithstanding the
preference ofthe Sheriff.

thousand thoughts that pass through your

thing worthy in fame; anon imagining
life a dream tha: the sooner woke from

nearly through. The time to wake Is very
near at hand; yet his eye ever klndles at

A STORY OF VIcToR EMYANUEL-HIs
Majesty, one day, hunting in the neigh
borhood of Rome, shot AT a hare ut the
very moment when a stout citizen, out en-
joying the pleasures Of the chase, dis
charged his piece at the same object. The
king claimed that he had killed the hare ;
the citizen, ignorant of the person of ms
rival, declared in very impO,ite terms that
he himself was the successful marksman-
The result WAS a regular trial OF strength
for the possession Of the game-a tussie
which resulted in favor Of the king, who
walked off with his prize, while the citizen
poured upon him perfect flood Of such
abuse is only an Italian of certain sort
has at command. At the city gate. the
king ordered the comnandant of the guard
to follow the angry citizen and report his
name and residence. After few hours
the officer vas able to say that the un-
known hunter Vas an honest cabinet
maker Of the Porta del Popodo, when the
king sent one OF his carriages to fetch him
to the palace. Naturally the man was
terribly anxious as well as full of wonder
why he should be wanted At the palace,
and be was not much relieved when he
recognized il the king the man whom he
had abused master Salvina, said His
Majesty, and at the sound of his own
name from loyal lips, the man trembled

the three forgeries, one on Webster, one on

the national debt in 1865 has been under
