LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1884.
Death of lev. *■. McWhorter,
Rev. Wni. McWhorter, a highly
catvenaed minister of the Presbyte
rian C lurch, died at hia rtaideuee
at Bfchelor'a Retreat on Snorday
morning at 2 o’cl ,cb a m , at tbe
advauced fig-of'cvni'y three year*
■ lie had been etHicted for several
weeks and cot fined (o hi* bed from
softening of the braiu and pariiel
paralysis. While his death wan
not unexpected, still we, who bad
t known him so long and go intimate
ly ns cur iostmetor, b <th mentally
and morally, of the young, aa a
pure C.irlslian, an upright gentle
man and accomplished *ohohir,
run not bnt feel that the county,
the State and the church have lost
a worthy citizen, friend and Clnis
liao scholar. He had been spared
to a gtod old age, an 1 »»« living
on borrowed time, but up to a few
niontha prior to his death he devo
ted tlmt time to active work in the
vineyard of hi* Lord. His virtues
were no less conspicuous ic tbe
family circle than in bis high call
ng of the ministry and ho brought
up his children in the fear and ad
monition of the Lord. Os his ions,
two are oroiniaiug physicians in
Virg'iiis, where they mariied aud
s.-ltlad, while a third lost his life iu
the battle of Fianklit), Tenutssee, in
the cause of patriutilm and duty to
his country. He nUo leaves one
daughter, married and settled in
Abkevilie county, and one who re
mains a companion to his aged
widow. Mr. McWhorter was born
within a few miles of the present
site of WalhalD. He mannered to
get sufficient education to enter the
University of Gsergiaand after tnk
ing his course there, he studied for,
and entered tbe ministry, in which
be labored through life. He first
married and settled in Abbeville,
hut oui first recolleciiou of him
was when he moved to Old Pickens
Court House <ner 30 years ago and
o.enel a hi t h aihool. He
continued to preach aud teach in
diffirent parts of the county until
he finally settled at Retreat and
g*ye his whole tim to tbe minis
ny. hie body wu» laid to
reet last Sabbath in tbe ureterce of
a large e»g*mbly of frende end ac
quaintances. There remaineth a
rest to the people of Gjd.and thos*
who knew Mr. McWhorter feel sure
his soul has entered that rest,
where he daily reaf* the rewatd of
the godly.—[Koowec (S C.) Cour

A Cheerful Frame of Mind.
To preserve a cheerful frame of
miud every one need* to have inter
ests outside of himself. We may
ssfe'y uffirua that the man who oni
formly nmet* us with an animated
expression, a hopeful aspect and a
frauk and cordial greeting, is not a
selfish or self-centered man. lie is
glad and sorry for mire than l>ie
own success and tailures ; he is in
terested ic some thing at least,
apart from their relation to him self.
Nothing more effectually weighs
down the spirits, contract* the
sources of pleasure and darkens the
countenance than ths exclusive
thought of and reference to person
al interests; and no one can hope
to maintain a cheerful disposition
•r to exert an inspiring influence
until he takes a genuine interest in
other things and other people. The
days have passsd away when a
gladsome fans was deemed an index
of a frivilou* mind, and a golenn
and 'or.g visage the forerunner of
every virtue. We know now that
happiness and virtue go band in
hand, and that a goed conscience,
g od purpes'-s, gi od habits and
gmd health will bring with them
cheerfulness and contentment to
the spirit, and light and gladness
tu 'hecountenance.

The Young Teacher.
They wore wild scholars in that
school.
Tho girl* wore well-grown romps
who almost without excep
tion, knew it.
A nice time, fair-haired blue
eyed, gentle, voung Hanty Munn,
was to have with them.
He gue.scd that, a* he arose at
hi* desk on the first morning.
Fire young men mid one elderly
woman had departed that school
house vanquished, and now he
beaded the forlorn hips —a iuiid
not five-and-twenty yet, with a col
legiate education, sensitive feeling*
and no physique
He knew nothing about girls
His two d inure sisters mighi
not have baeo of the same race f.*r
ad the likeness there wns liuteeeu
them and these ramps.
And they were so pretty, espe
c;a!!y Violet Raynor, the worst
romp of all.
In those first days they tried all
their old tntks; Lid their slate
pencil*, and bested his, chalk ul
faces on tbe black board, ai.d wrote
rhymes in t ecopy book*.
Passed some simple answer, that
every one knvw, up umi dawn tbe
cl«**.
Talked, ate applet and cracked
nut*.
Wrote him a love letter, which
they »igncd with the name of the
late deposed spinster, and sent it
to him bv a small child who arriv
ed in school-time.
Set flies on the wing with papt r
slip* lied to their legs.
Tripped oyer his toes and apolo
gized.
Ov»rail his inkstand on purpose ;
and did a thousand other such imp
lsh thief's.
He kept thinking that Violet
was the prettiest girl that he hud
ever aeen.
She looked so good aud swret,
too.
How could sbs join in them fol
lies ?
And, indeed she was not as bad
ns the rest, and once or twice actu
ally behaved beautifully.
Violet ser'ainly oould be charm
ing if she ehoie.
She on her part,secretly thought
tbe teacher very handsome and
vory pl*a«snt.
She was sevenleen.and old erinagh
to think of handsome men with
some interest.
His delicate manner and gentle
manly habit* pleased he-', and the
would have behaved herself in a
ladylike like way, but for popular
opinion.
But alas! ‘‘the girls” had reunlv
ed “not to give in to any young
man teacher."
They were proud of their horri
ble conduct, end when she had en
deavored to do well, hud taunted
her with being cowardly.
Violet could not yield to her bet
ter impulse*—dared not.
And then she knew very well
that the young man admired her j
and onder *uoh circumsUnc s. i,
became a sort of triumph to hold
out.
‘He’ll thi"k I’ve Diren a fancy
to him if I give in, ; su'd she.
And in tho queerest spirit of tie
fianci she fairly led the riot from
that v omen*.
Henry Munn found this very
hard to bear; but be bad nwiutaa
thins of giving io.
0.. U by nm- le conquered the
gill*.
The small o o* he switch'd on
on their palm*.
As a lust resurt, the elder ones
were consigned —dinnette** —to
long Imsoiis, or h*d private lee-
Inns, wlti.-h seamed tlit-m into de
cency.
OI course he could not switch
Violet.
She was a young woman.
Nor did Ivcturaa have any effect
on her whs’evt-r.
She giggled and pouted and
played tricks on him leu naiui.te*
after-
At last, one day her oulrageoti*
sauc'oeta became mote than he
could hear, snd hit decided to en
dure it no longer.
He waited until she was quiet
for a moment she whs tlrswiag a
caricature vs him —and tiruse at his
desk.
“Miss Violet Raynor,” he Baid.
•‘lLru alio is.” said Violet
“Where nr* your eyes?’
“Miss Vijlet Raynor,” repeated
Mr. Munn, "1 have cinne to a con
elusion concerning you.”
“Ah,” said Violst, “is it possi
ble T"
“You are dt mora'izing the school,
Atiss Raynor,” said Henry; “set
ting a had, and uiiladj-like exam
ple, to ev. ry one he e. W’be.. such
scholars are found iu the pul I
came from it is customary to ex
pel them. Tuerefure, I now expel

“lake you? hat and hooks, and
leave thin ro un, and never enter it
again while I um teacher ”
V.o’et Raynor stared st him in
amazement; then laughed.
“I’ll go when I’m ready, Air
Munn, and ct me bieK when I
pliate,” sin said. • 1 suppose you
forgot who I am, that t am Colonel
R. vt or s daughter, and that no
school-master can Urn me out of
school.”
Air. Munn aiose. went to tbe
wardrobe and took down tbe co
quettish hat and sacqUM and para
sol, carefully deposited the books in
the neat strap, and handed them
to her.
“Put your things on Mis* Ray
nor,” he said, ‘ and ul.ow tne to
open the door for you. unless in
deed you preler to apologize and
behave henceforth in a tum n r
that shall not disgrace the scl.uwl
and youtseif,”
“Apologize,” said Violet, who b«
gati to tremble, reflecting on the
questions that would be asked »!
borne. “I certainly shall do n.i
Hitch thing. You'll apologize to
me before long."
Thee she put on her hat and
walked slowly to the doo-.
Tbe wlio’e school followed her
with its many eyes, and she was
conscious of a signal defeat.
Whit could »he do, she asked
herself, to turn the table on this
conqueror of hers, and at least set
the school laughing at him betorr
she opened the door.
She tied not much chunce.
Blie was very near it, ani tbeie
was he, polite and calm ns possi
ble, with bis hr nd on the latch.
Her Muck eyes danced about
her.
Near her wis a Hhelf.
On the shelf stood what Violet
supposed to he an ink bottle.
To tms the contents in the
tencher’ii face was not u very ele
gaut piece of revenge, but it would
malto him look funny, and causs a
shout.
She caught it iu her hand*.
“I’ll set you a copy befuro I jo,
as well us bed example, girls,” sho
cried; and then the conte' ts were
dashed in the teacher’s Lee.
