for strange people to read. BY D. C. A. for the Hartwell Sun *\Vetmw found out by experience tli*t there ire a great many strange peo ple in this world of ours. We said “ strange ” —is that the name for them ? We have full reference to people who are always croaking, growling, grumb ling, gossiping, snarling, snapping, fret ting and, worst of all, backbiting and fault-finding. They certainly are the worst species of human beings. What advantage is there for people to be always blaming and censuring some body for what they are daily doing themselves ? They are indeed power fully smart—oh, yes ! they are so sharp that they can see every one's faults but their own. They can see, too, that everybody is wrong but themselves. Now isn’t that queer ? Now we have fallen upon the right name, we will call them Queer. ’Tis Queer that can't see the best people in the world are the most candid, open-hearted, affable, kind, charitabl*, free and unsuspecting ; but then they wouldn't be Queer if they saw it, and as they love to be Queer they cam’t see it. And, as it has been truthfully said, it is Queer that doesn’t know that people who deserve the most censure themselves are most apt to be always blaming and scolding their neighbors. And it is also Queer that never found out that those who arc so keen-sighted as to see other people’s faults are stone-blind, as it were, to their own. It is also Queer that never saw, read or heard of the Great I Am's words upon such, when He said : “Thou hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye.” We know it is Queer, but if all this was not Queer there would be no Queer, then Queers would have to fight with themselves, and as it said of the Killkenny cats, kill them selves because they are like other cats. And so Queer travels through this world fretting at everything that isn't queer as themselves. It is frequently said that a fretting man or woman is something like a wasp (however, to the honor of the wasp be it said, it will not sting unless you trouble it), but a fault finding, fretful, peevish, dissatisfied mortaJ goes through life buzzing and stinging without provocation. Why will people be queer ? It has been wisely said that Queer never sets broken bones, never stops any leaks, gathers no spilt milk, mends no smash ed pitchers, changes no east wind, &c. Well, then, what advantage is Queer to the world ? lie starts no one on the road to fame or celebrity. It will do this, it will cause people to laugh at you, for they know that barking dogs never bite. Well, then, since we find that Queer is of no advantage, why not be somebody else ? For instance, why not be sociable, for all people should be sociable ; and neither should their so ciablity be confined to a certain class (the rich), but to all people who are re spectable. There are certain bonds of sympathy which are delicate and holy, and with proper culture they may he made to expand and grow, widen and deepen until they will hold in their strong clasp etefy lieart in the wide land and bind us effectually together. Let us consign to oblivion's bottom less gulf the past with all of its trials and troubles, hatred and horrors, and let us teach our lips the language of love and not that of strife. Let us re cur as seldom as possible to themes mutually distasteful and disagreeable, and let our allusions to those who have fallen on either side always be respect ful and kind. All people build their own statues and monuments, and in youth the found ation is laid. The base is made nar row or broad in accordance to sustain the structure they have designed. Old Capital: Did you ever see two women kiss each other? It's very fun ny. They slide up toward each other aud smile a dry sort of smile, then they both jab forward and their lips come to gether with an ununctious dryness that has no suction or warmth, of life about it. How different when it is a young man with a moustache in the business! Then they draw down to each other gen tly, but firmly, get a good solid hold with their feet and hands, the eyes fond ly, tcuderly, meltingly gaze into each other, the lips meet first with a gentle pressure, aud then more pressure, and more, until you think their teeth will give way, and all the time the suction would discount a force pump. Oh, there's a wonderful difference! Josh Billings: The man who dies the richest is the one who leaves the 1 least here and takes the most with him. VOL.

Sept. 11th ltf7B. HOT TIME AT PENDLETON S. C. .1 ndertmi lutMiyenter, link inut. On Inst. Friday morning the Radical* of Pendleton had a political meeting, at which about one hundred and fifty (Colored persons and fifty white* were present. James Watkins, colored, act ed aa chairman, and first introduced Win. R. Parker, the radical candidate for the legislature in this Count}’. He urged the colored people to stand by and vote for him, promising to repre sent them and the white people fairly, if elected. He agreod to do his best to repeal the fence law, and said he would vote for the best man who ran for United States Senator, and con sumed a great deal of time very use lessly in telling what he would do if elected. Mis whole speech was nliout himself and the race for the legisla ture. A great deal of his speech was too vulgar to appear in print. E. B. Murray, Esq., who was pres ent under an invitation from the Presi dent of the Pendleton Democratic (Tub, was then invited to address the meeting, and responded by saying that he was not present to ask for votes for any man, but to inform the colored peo ple of the blessings which have been conferred on them as a race by the Democratic party. He allowed the re duction in taxes, and the fair treatment given them on the school question. lie also told them of the peace and pro tection they receive from the Democrats hut did not receive from the Radicals, lie advised them to let Parker and all other Radicals alone and vote the Dem ocratic ticket. He condemned Parker for mixing politics with his religion, and taking up collections in his churches for political purposes. He also com mented on the promise which Parker made to resign the County Chairman ship, but had not done so, and likewise on his promise to write a card and pub lish it declining to run for tho Legisla ture. lie said that if Parker did not keep his promises at home he could not be trusted to keep them in the Legisla ture. The speaker also dwelt at length on the interests of the colored race, and condemned the vulgarity of Park er in his public speeches. At the conclusion of Mr. Murray’s speech, G. T. Strickland, a notorious colored preacher of Pendleton, was an nounced, and evidently intended to make it hot for the whites. lie began by attacking the Intelligencer for com menting on his letter to a Northern pa per, charging him with mixing politics with religion, and lmd not spoken more than two or three minutes before ho said the statement of the Intelligencer was an infamous lie. At this point his speech ended, as Mr. Murray struck at him with a very heavy umbrella, and would have floored him, hut for the fact that lie dodged, and jumping from the platform speedily disappeared. As he left in one direct ion, Parker edged off in the other, hut as soon as quiet was partially restored he returned and dis missed the crowd, saying he could have spoken without trouble, but that Strick land had used improper language, and he did not blame Mr. Murray for re senting it. The result of this meeting has taught the Radicals that it is not safe to in sult Democrats, and will no doubt put an end to it. Should a similar occur rence happen again, the one offending will not fare so well for the Democrats iu future will he more substantially armed than with umbrellas. It would lie great injustice not to complimcut the judgment, prudence and bravery of the few white men who were present at this meeting. They were ready to re sist an assault, but were careful not to cause any conflict. “ Every man should provide liberally for his family,” says Smith. “Ever since my marriage I have kept my wife provided with a sewing machine surmounted by a fine mirror.” “ What is the mirror for?” inquired a party present. “ Well,” said the oracle, “ I tell her that when she gets so lazy that she can’t run the machine, she can sit still and see herself starve to death.” “ Dearest,” lie murmured ecstatical ly, as he folded her in his arms lor the first time, “ let me sample the nectar of your lips.” “Take a whole schooner of it,” she faintly whispered, “it’s all on tap.” —Newark Call. A clergyman usked some children: “ Why do wc say in the Lord's prayer, ‘ who art in heaven,’ since God is every where?” A little drummer boy an swered, “ Because it’s headquarters.” Free Press : Secretary Evarts lias a farm in Vermont.
