Tnoji.K COUNTY, April IS, 77.
Editor Times: Of late I have been
reading several articles cn what is
called the “Greenback Issue,” and
Bom what I can understand ot (be
principles embraced in them, 1 have
reached the conclusion that they are
the issues which we should he govern
ed by in the camp ignol 1W0. 1 also
notice that the Greenback Isxue is
growing iu favor in the great North
West, nnu this leads roe to conclude
that U will he tho most prominent
issue of the next campaign. It will
he remembered that the venerable
Peter Cooper was the candidate of
tho Greenback party in the laic politi
cal. struggle. Just let me say one
word here in regard to my politics)
faith. I am a Democrat, and I worked
nud labored lor Samuel J. Tildcn. and
for the Democratic cause,with as much
zeal as any one, hut I now wish that
the Southern Democracy had done as
much to elect Peter Cooper, as it did
forTiuleu. Not that 1 am partisan,
or prefer Cooper lo Tildcn. simply us
a man. hut because of the principles
iuvolved in the Greenback parly. Let
any man, uo matter what party lie
may belong lo, so that he desires the
good of the country at heart, read the
principles, and platform ot the Green
back party, and I challenge him to
say they ore not sound to* the core.—
For instance these are a few of the
principles of that platform: Make pa
per curreucy of equal value to gold,
nud a Legal Tender for all debts.—
Make the Bondholder pay taxes upon
millions of Bonds, also make him
toko greenbacks for the Interest
those Bonds. This is what is brin;
ing hard times upon the country, the
paying oi millions of dollars for inter
cst upon Goldbcariug Bonds. The
Government has to pay this enormous
interest in gold, and it has it to buy at
the rale of #1.10 for 8100. Now why
is it that the Shylocks, or Bondholders,
cannot take the same money that the
honest and laboring men of the coun
try have to take? Of this enormous
amount of interest, not one dollar is
paid in Greenback, but in gold
bouyhl by tht Government, at the rate
of 811.00 iter hundred above par. This
is not all that these Shylocks, or Bond
holders arc doing, but (hey are con
stantly and continually burning up
millions of the paper .currency—the
currency which the honest and labor
ing men of the country have to take-
order to make paper currency
scnicc, thereby enhancing the value of
their hoarded gold. Docs any sane
man believe that the same amount of
paper currency is now in circulation
that there was in the years of 1800,
1807, nud 1808? I for one do not be
lieve it. All of these hard times, nil
of this uneasiness and want of confi
dence, is traceable directly lo the fact
that these millions of Bonds are in the
hands of bloated Shylocks, irbe core
nothing for the Government, nor for
the prosperity ol the masses, so long
as the almighty dollars pour into their
coffers in a golden stream. Demo
crats of Georgia, Democrats of the
Southern States, arouse yourselves to
the danger which awaits this noblo
and once happy land. JYust no long
er to political leaders to guide us to a
peaceful prosperity. For while they
try to secure our Yoles and support, by
fair promises and pretended reforms
&c.. at the same time they ore pander
ing to the Money Power ot Wall
Street,
1 am not a politician, but 1 am a
citizen of this country, and, above all
party considerations, 1 desire to sec the
country oucc more on a solid founda
tion, and ou the rood to prosperity,
have uot lime nor space lo elaborate
this subject, but I throw ont these
few hiuts iu order lo arouse the hon
est thinking men of the country to the
dangers of the present policy that is
being carried out at Washington and
Wall Street. In conclusion let me
say to those who may differ with me,
first learn the platform of the Green
back party, and the principles enun
ciated therein, and if they are not
sound, and not calculated to promote
the welfare aud prosperity ot the
couulry, and to restore confidence in
the Government, then I will be as will
ing to abaudon the cause, as 1 am now
lo advocate it. More anon,

Btfyiag A Bridal «Tf*ssjr.”
One 4 day last week a powerfully
built young man, to wfcoira sight
arm was linked a tall, thin girl of
eighteen, with a sharp nose, pale
blue eyes, and hair the’color of on
old knife handle,entercd a Lake ave
nue stone with both eyes full of bus
iness. As the pair took seats, a
clerk intimated that be was ready
to take bottom price on any goods
in the store, from the finest silk to
the glaziest calico.
1 bis is kinder delicate business
for ns,” replied the young man,
casting sheep’s eyes at the girl
“That is to spy—that is—yes,
ahem!” stammered the clerk.
'Bat X guess we ll live through it,
Molly, and so here goes. Wlmt we
ant is a trossy for this girl—a bri
dal trossy, I believe they call it.**
“That is exactly wbat they call
it,” replied the clerk, “and tell me
what article yon want, aud III give
the lowest figures.”
Thu pair looked nt each other in
half foolish way for a minnte, and
then the girl hid her face behind n
stack of goods.
“A little skecry, but she'll git over
it,” mused the lover. “The first
thing I s’pose is a dress.”
‘From one to sixteen dresses, ns
you like. You’ll take black silk ]>er-
lmps.”
“And perhaps I won’t. 2 here's
> style about us, Mister. We mar
ry for love and we’ve get to make a
leetle money go a long ways. Is
calico purty low?”
“Oh! Zeke!” gasped the girl, sud
denly showing her face.
“Well,well go a little better, then,
though calico is my motto. Hand
us down something about 20c. per
yard. Give us dove color, for
doves are meek and lovely, and so
is Molly.”
Twelve yards of dove colored
goods were cut off, and Zeko looked
around and said: “Less see.
s’pose a black comb, two yards of
blue ribbon, a bunch of hair pins
and two or three collars, ought to
iguro in somewhere.”
2 he clerk agreed, and they were
figured in.
“Less see. She’ll wqpr her sister's
hat to staud up in, and her shoes
won’t show if she has a long dress
on. I guess that’s about all, isn’t
it, Molly ?”
The girl blushed very rod, l>cck
oned him doscr and, nml after c
minute, he tumed to the clerk and
mill:
“It’s kinder tlirowiu’ money away
but sbe’s party good and gentle,
and I don’t mind. She thinks she
ought to have a fifty cent corset and
two pairs of stockings.”
The articles were bought, inspec
ted, and placed with the “trossy,”
and after tlio lovers held another
whispered conversation, Zckc ob
served:
'Well, that’s all. Figgor up, and
there's your cash, We’ve got to go
and git some hair oil, and a dollar
gold chain with a locket to it, and a
pair of sleeve buttons and some shoe
strings and yon seo the outfit is go
ing to squeeze me had.”
‘When does the marriage come
off?” asked the clerk.
“In about ten days. Shu’i
good girl and loves me, and I’m
trying to do tho fair thing by her.—
2 ain’t many young men who would
put up seven dollars on a bridal
trossy on his girl; but when I make
up my mind to marry any one I’m
almost reckless of wealth. She
didn’t need the corset any more
than I need suspenders, but sbcliad
a sister married with a corset on,
and she didn’t want to be behind
her.”
“I hope you’ll be happy.”
“We shall be—can’t help it This
’ere girl can sling more enthusiasm
into a mess of taters than any queen
in Europe, as for her fried pork—
yum! She can compose poetry, chop
wood, draw pictures, milk a cow,
bnild a suit of clothes, or spell down
anybody that stands on legs, and
when winter howls around our little
home, well sit with onr feet in the
oven; chaw apples, and remember
that- I bad to taxe her old dad by
the collar and jerk his heels to the
ceiling before he’d consent to tbis
marriage. Well, good bye.”

He sat ou one side the room in a
big white oak rocking chair. She
on tbe,other side in a little white
oak rocking chair. A longeared
d?er hound snapping at flies was by
bis side; a basket of sewing by hers.
Both rock incessantly—that is the
young people—not the dog and bas
ket He sighs heavily and looks
oat the west window at a crape myr
tle tree; she sighs lightly and gazes
out the east window at a turnip
patch. At lost he remarks;
“This is mighty good weather to
pick cotton.”
Tia that—if we only bad any to
pick.”
The rocking continues.
“What’s your dog’s name ?”
“Cooney.”
N Another sigh broken stillness.
“Wbat is he good far ?”
“What’s who good far ?” said he
abstractedly.
“Yonr dog, Coony.”
“For ketcliin’ possum.”
Silence of half an hour.
“He looks like a deer dog.”
“Who looks like n deer dog?”
“Coony.”
“He is but lie’s kinder bellowsed

In the quiet ten minutes that
ensued she took two stitches in her
quilt; it was a gorgeous affair; that

Thun more rocking, and some
how, after n while the big rocking
eboir and the little chair was jam
med side by side. I don't know
liow it happened. It might have
been caused by some peculiarity in
the floor, or by the magnetic attrac
tion one had for another; but
strange to say, the basket of work
had followed the little chair! and
the little chair had traveled os fast
as the big one! Cooney had not
moved; he lay in tlio same place
sound asleep, and he was talking in
his sleep—that is, giving faint irreg
ular barks at the possums he be
held in his dreams. After a while
the conversation is resumed.
“How many lias your mn got ?"
“How many wlmt ?”
“Chickens.”
“Nigh to a buudred.”
By this timo the chairs arc so
close together that rocking is im
possible.
‘Tho minks has cat most all of

Then a long silence reigns. At

“Yes,” she replies, brigktuiug up,

“No.”
More silence; then he says:
“Do you like cabbage ?”
“I do that.”
Presently his hand is accidentul-
plnccd on hers. She does not
know it; nt least docs not seem
aware of it. Then after a half hour
spent iu sighs, coughing and clear
ing of throats, he suddenly says:
“I’se great mind of bite you.”
"What you great a* mind to bite

“Knse you won’t have me.”
“Rose yon ain’t axed me.”
“Well, now I ax yon.”
“2'licn, now, 11ms you.”
Then Coony dreams he hears a
sound of kissing.

A Tough Subject.
They had a tough subject iu the

with him, but the man seemed to
despair of forgiveness. Finally
Moody asked him wbat heavy sin

that they did not profess to perform
miracles, but if he would settle up

3Ir. Brown kept boarders.—
Around Mr. Brown’s tea-table sat-
Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. An -
drews, the village milliner; Mr.
Black tlie baker; Mr. Jordan, a
carpenter; and J/r. Hadly, a flour
and lumber merchant. Mr. Brown
took out of his pocketbook a ten
dollar note and handed it to Mrs.
Brown, saying, “Here, my dear, are
ten dollars towards the twenty I
promised you.” Mrs. Brown hand
ed it to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner,
saying, “That pays for my new bou-
net.” Mrs. Andrews said to Mr.
Jordan as she ban led him the note.
“That will pay for yonr work on my
counter.” Mr. Jordan handed it to
Mr. Hadly, the flour, feed and lum
ber merchant, requesting him to
give him credit for that amount on
his lumber bill Mr. Hadly gave
the note back to Mr. Brown, saying,
“That pays ten dollars on my board,”
Mr. Brown passed it to Mrs. Brown
with the remark that that paid her
the twenty dollars lie had proiuislicd.
She iu turn, paid it to Mr. Black, to
settle her bread and pastry account,
who handed it to Mr. Hadly, wish
ing credit for that amount on his
flour bill, be again returning it to
Mr. Brown with the remark that it
settled for that month’s board.—
Whereupon Brown put it back into
his pocket-book, exclaiming that
“he never thought a ten dollar note
would go so far.” Thus a ten dollar
greenback was made to pay ninety
dollars indehedtness inside of five
minutes. Who says greenbacks arc
worthless ?”
Music tn the Family.
It is a convincing proof of the
benevolence of the Deity that he
has formed the human car so as to
be capable of finding an elevated
pleasure in the harmony of sounds.
There might have been organs
of speech, and cars to hear, with
out the power of knowing and de
lighting in music. This gift it
was intended we should use and
enjoy. Used as a recreation, it is
innocent and everlasting—used, as
an act of dc\*otion, it is a medium
of near access to the Mercy-seat.
It tends to produce a high sense of
moral feeling, and to develop all
the holier sympathies of our na
ture. It is the duty of every reli
gious family to cultivate, as may
>e, tlio practice of music—secular
and sacred—instrumental and vo
cal.
The human voice includes with
in itself nearly all the sweet sounds
that can be made. By cultivating
this gift, by applying the atmos
phere through the lungs—by deli
cacy of touch on the musical in
struments, the organ, expression
may be given to the varied emo
tions of the human heart; and in
sucli expression we exalt our own
nature, and at the same time rend
er a worthy tribute of praise to the
Most High.
The practice of music in thc"fam-
Jly is like the presence of . an intel
ligent and cheerful friend. It
makes home happier and better.
Where circumstances will warrant
the investment, money expended
on competent music teachers and
good musical instruments is well
laid out.
We are well aware that the
practice of music is sometimes per
verted—iliat, with a low apprecia
tion of its real place and power,
some use it as a thing of show or
fashionable dissipation—that su
perficial attainments in this as in
all other sciences tcud rather to
disgust. But this cannot furnish
any good reason why it should not
be used in its legitimate and ex
alted sphere. Mpsic, as science, is
receiving more culture than, form
erly, and as a means of social en
joyment and holy worship, is in
more general use.
We could hope that the. time is
at hand when it will hold its place
at the side of reading in the edu
cation of children, and gladden
every fireside by its hallowed
pleasure.

Which is the Happiest Season 1
At a festal party of old and young,
the question was asked: “Which
season of life is the most happy ?”
After being freely discussed by the
guests, it was referred for an
swer to the host, upon whom was
the burden of fourscore years. He
asked if they liad noticed a grove
of trees before the du elling, and
said: “When the spring comes, and
in the soft air the buds are break-
011 the trees, aud they are cov
ered with blossoms, I think how
beautiful is spring ! Aud when the
summer comes, aud covers the trees
with its foliage, and singing birds
are among the branches, I think
how beautiful is summer! When
the autumn loads them with golden
fruit, and their leaves bear the gor
geous tint of frost, I think how
beautiful is autumn! And when it
is near winter, and there is neither
foliage Dor fruit, then I look up
through the leafless branches, as I
never could till now, and sec the
stars shine.”

Gov. Hampton is a fine sjieci

full six feet high in the clear, bar

lowy, but well knit and compact.
His complexion is swarthy, tinged
with enough of the roseate hue to
indicate a good livpr—one who
docs Dot intend to die in debt to
his stomach. In his movements
he is quick, and his manners arc
graceful. His eyes are deep
brown, almost black, and they
sparkle with a good deal of ani

eyes, of the kind which reflect the
inner feeling. His lair is black,
though there arc places where the
gray is making sad inroads. He
wears side whiskers and a mus

former begins, something after tlie

the whiskers do not staud out so

Iu 1833 four gentlemen entered
their sons at a boarding school at
Cokeabnrty, in South Carolina.—
They had been for years intimate
friends, and were clergymen in the
Methodist church. These boys re
mained at this school as room mates
and class-mates for two years, and
entered AYolford College, standing
relatively first, eeconJ, third and
fourth. They remained at this in
stitution four years, and were room
mates all the time, graduating rela
tively first, second, third and fourth
in a large class. They entered u
law office at Spartanburg and stud
ied law under the same chancellor.
The war broke out, and at tlio call
for troops thoy entered Jenkins' ri-
flo regiment from Sontli Carolina,
aud were messmates in the compa
ny. Being near the same height,
they stood together ns comrades of
battle in this regiiueut. At the sec
ond buttle of Manassas, August,
186 J, a shell from a Federal bat tore
fell in the ranks of this company,
and killer] these four men (and no
