A Scar on the Soul.
One of my most pleasant memories of
early Sabbath-school days is of a lad
who for a short time was my pupil. My
acquaintance with him began thus: Be
ginning in the country for tbe summer,
the first Sunday of my stay I went to a
different church from that attended by
the family with whom I sojourned.—
We came from a distance and in the
same carriage. Kncwing it was commu"
nion at the church which my friend
attended, to save them trouble of calling
for me after the morning service, I walk
ed to a place where the horse and wagon
were fastened under an elm-tee behind
the church, intending to sit there until
they should join me. Only two other
vehicles were there, in one of which sat
a boy whom I observed to be assidu
ously driving off flies from Ihe horse,
saying as he did so, “Poor Ned ? poor
Ned ? next Sunday we’ll have anew net.
Pa won’t forget to buy one this week,
cause I 11 help him to remember.” His
back was toward me so be ivas unaware
of attracting me and I resolved upon
further acquaintance. I walked back and
forth a few times before ilaktng my seat
in the wagon, aud Aoou had opportunity
to obseive tho pleasing face and gentle
mar, ly bearing of the little fellow.—
Pleasantly 1 said, —
“Your horse has a kind little master,!
perceive.”
“That’s because father and mother
think so much of Ned,”replieu the boy.
modestly. “Besides, I don’t like to
have him so tormented by the flies.—
You see he has stood it all the time I
was at church, and now I have come to
help him.”
“Then you were at church during
the service.”
“O yes, ma’am, and I went to Sun
day-school at nine o’clock.”
“I should think you would be tiled
being confined so long. Why not run
about a little ? Wouldn't you like
to ?”
“Yes, ma’am; but then poor Ned
would be so pestered. I’d rather not
go/;
“Then your mother did not Did you
to?”
“No ma’am ; but I’d feel better to do
so.”
Kind little fellow ! I said to myself ;
and then asked.—
“IV hat ata yon gainer tn tint
noon ?”
•‘I am going to read to build Sam*
uel.”
“That will keep you confined too.”
“Yes, but I’ll have my dinner first
ana a little time to run about iu the
orchard, too.”
“Suppose you let me go in your
place?,/
“o,but I promised,” he said quick
! y-
--“I could excuse you in some way.”
“Please ma’am, I don’t see how, be/
cause I’m not sick.”
“But why be so particular, long as
Sam. was neglected V*
“I can’t explain it very well,ma’am.”
replied the boy, looking a little troubled
—perhaps feeling disappointed i 1 his
new friend, who seemed apprently desi
rous to lend him astray. —“I can’t ex
plain it, but it wouldn’t be me reading
to him. Besides, he would be disap>
pointed not to see me but that wouldn’t
be the worst of it.”
“What then would be the worst of
it?”
“Well ma’am, as you mo I will tell
you what my father and mother taught
me, —that to break my promise even in
a small thing, is a sin, and every sin
leaves a scar upon the soul.”
How true tho word about the “seer
on the soul !” Yes, every sin, leaves a
disfiguring mark, as unsightly to the
eye of God as a scar upou the face would
appear to us.
The Bible.
Tn the hurry of life it would be well
for us to take the Bible as a balance
wheel to all our actions. This book
that we can possibley have of future ex
istence. should find not only a place in
ever library but should be the day
book from which we reckon the account
we are to make to our common Father
God. It ma ters not what may be our
profession, cr what may be our circ irn
stanccs in life. The Bible comes iu
as the center of our’hopes and the polar
star of onr destiny —the bright un
changed cynosure to gird anxious
travellen through the arid desert of
this worlds waste, to the peaceful and
bappy realms of immortality. To neg
lect the Bible, to fail to appropriate its
golden truths, is to court darkness to
our souls and overspread all our future
hopes wilh gloomy despair —it is
to reject the only panacea to human
woes.
If the Bible in any sense were to in
trude a hindrance to wurldly success
aod real solid enjoyment, then might
human reason interpose an argument
against the Bible as impo r ing principles
that are calculated to detract from the
acme of human happiness* But such
is not the case, as is clearly demonstrat
ed by the observation and experience
of the wise and good of this and every
age-
If pure morality—if antagonism to
sin—if principles of honesty and justico
—if the cherishing of virtue,faith,hope
and charity with every other grace
that cau possibly adorn human charac
ter, be obstructions in the way of hap a
piness, then the Bible makes undue cx>
action upon the devotees of religion,and
is unworthy of their patronage.

wheat this season at 700 tons.

A Picture of Sooth Carolina
Horrors.
You have doubtless read and heard
ot the Hamburg horror. That burg ia
some 25 or 30 miles from us,but as it is
just opposite tbe river from Augusta,
we get news very quick. It seeui3 as
if the North generally is so much more
attached to the African titan to the Anglo
saxon race,that it will believe everything
for tbe former, and everyth fag against
the latter. A white man can scarce
pass through Hamburg without insults
from the b'ack occupants. Have you seen
the awful story of Mr. Prescott’s child
beiugoutraged by a negro? Mr. Prescott
is a most estimable young man, and has
a lovely wife, lie had gone on to the
Centennial. His little daughter six
years old, was playing near an old
woman, who was picking some greens
The child was missed, when tho woman,
a black one, went to 1c ok for her. The
demon had accomplished bis fiendish
attack. Our town is in a state of great
alarm. Gtneral Butler’s home, since
his house w T as burned two years ago

negroes have hired one of their color
to kill Gen. Butler, and the} 7 swear that
if another negro is injured in any way
they will open the war, that every
house in the town shall be burned, and
the women and children be assassinated.
This last is to be the work of the women
who are more malicious than the men
I spent last week with my children in
tow'n. My son has beeu elected by ac
clamation captain of the volunteer corps
in that place. He told me that it had
been discovered by a spy that the women
were all the week spinning to make the
fire balls—had wound them, and by
contribution had procured kerosene to
saturate them with ; indeed, the inhabi
tants are walking over a volcano, the
seething and pent up fires of which
may at any time burst forth and leave in
ashes and desolation their once happy
and thriving town ; is it not frightful ?
Last Sunday I was sitting on tho piazza
at my daughter’s ; there was a protracted
meetig out of town. First came Senator
Can in his doubleiseated buggy, drawn
by his new horses, the turnout costinir
SSOO Then Paris Simkins, a mulatto
legislator, in his new buggy, the horse
alone costing S7OO. These two worthies

His house is handsomely furnished, he
dresses his wife and children elegantly,
keeps servants and supports a host of
his wife’s lelations. He took his wife to
the Ce./ennial, lives like a prince, and
dues it all on S6OO a year, and so it is
with the Radical officials. They are
getting rich while the people are poorer
and poorer every day. The grocers in
town now keep no meat; the people tire
too poor to afford it; we have u-ed almost
no meat this summer but have a garden
with plenty of vegetables plenty of milk,
aud 1 am a a pretty good band at bread
making. So God is blessing us in this re
spect just now. — Cor. New York World.
A Hindoo Legend.
Long ag 0 we came upon an anecdote
in Castellan, the substance of wh'ch, as
far as we remember, is this : The li
brary of tho Indian Kings was compos
ed of so many volumees that a thous
and camels were necessary to remove it.
But odcq on a time a certain Prince
who loved reading very much, and oth
er pleasures called a Brahmin to him
and said : “Books are good, O Brah
min, even as women are good, yet sure
ly of both these goods a Prince may
have too many; and then, 0 Brahmin
which of these two vexations is sorest
to princely flesh it were hard to say;
but as to the books, O Brahmin squeeze
’em !” The Brahmin understanding
well, what the order “squeeze ’em,”
meant (for Le was a book man himself,
and knew that as there goes much wa
ter and little flavor to the making of a
big pumkin, there many words and
few thoughts to the making of very big
book), set to work aided by many
scribes and when the essence of them
had been extracted it was found that
ten camels could carry it within ruf
fling a hair.
And therefore the Brahmin was
appointed “Grand Squeezer” of the
realm.
Ages after this, another Prince who
loved reading much and other pleasures
a great deal more, called the Giand
Squeezer of his time and said. “Thy
life depends upon the measure of thy
“Sque zing.”” Therefore the Grand
Squeezer in fear and trembling
set to work and squeezed and
squeezed until the whole library* be*-
came at last a load that a foal woud
have laughed at, for it consisted of but’
one book, a tiny volume containing
lour maxims, xet the wisdom in the
last library was the wisdom of the
first.
If the reports we read as to tho suc
cess met with growing grares at the
south are corrcect a source of industry
is open to the people which may almost
rival cotton growing being less capital
at the outset. Vines near Mobile six years
old are said to produce three bushels of
gjapes each making good wine. It is
notorious that almost worthless soil is the
best adapted for wine making grapes.

A Canal Over tlic Allegltanies,
For the space of one hundred years
there has been in almost ptrpetual
agitation a scheme of running a canal
over the Alleghanies to connect the
Potomac river and the Zoughigbcny
Gen. Washington first oonceived it and
became the first President of the Pote
ncy company. The illustrious Gen.—
Sanson Barnard, Secretary of war of
Louis Phillippe and a staff officer of
Napolen, survey the route ab ut 1817.
I he canal has been completed to the coal
field at Cumberlaud, and sends coal to
Wasington City for al out fifty cents a
ton tooils. It will cost to run it over
the mountaines $50,000,000, with very
doubtful probabilities of securing water
enough to run the barges at that great
hei fc h, and effect the monstrous lockages
the last performance in this direction
is the private enterprise of Seuator Hen
ry Davis He hascleand out the channel
of the North Branch of the Potomac,
a narrow, rook.,strewn torrent, which
rises at the Fairfax Stone, and is often
nearly a dry bed- This river runs along
thesotheru base of the Backbone Moun
tain, whose scraps are covered with large
timber. Davis hoped to make this
stream carry off the logs he should feel
on the moutains,where he has bought a
vast tract of timber—'rom 30,000 to
50,000 acres, at less than two dollajs
an acre—but tho water has not been
suffeient to fully carry out his objects.—

says: “We can give our readers another
useful hint for utilizing their surplus
watermelons. It is this: Last year we
saw some Virginia farmers feed water
melons to their milk cows, when they
came up at night with good effect, by
increasing the quantity and improving
the quality of their milk.”

Yesterday morning a careless mason
dropped a half brick from the second
story of a builbing out on Jefferson etreet
which he was at work. Leaning over the
wall and glancing downward, he dicov
ered a respectable citizen, with his silk
hat scrunched over his eyes and ears,
raising from a recumbent pasture- The
mason, in tones of some apprehension;
asked : “Did that brick hit anyone
down there?” The citizen with great
difficulty extricating himself from the
glove fitting extinguisher into which his
hat had beeo transformed, replied, with
considerable wrath: “Yes, sir, it did; it
hit me,” “ That’s right,” exclaimed the
mason, in accents of undisguised admira
tion; “noble man ! I would rather
have wasted a thousand bricks than have
had you tell me a lie about it.“ This inci
dent has a oeutennial moral, and a large
reward is offerd to anyone who will
discover what it is-— Hawkeyc.

rycing evils of these times is the tendency
and disposition of girls to get through
girlhood hurriedly and get into woman
hood, or rather into young ladyhood,
without waiting to enjoy the sweet and
beautiful season of girlhood. Speaking
on this point,Bishop Morris says : “Wait
patiently, my children, through the
whole limit of your girlhood. Go not
after womanhood ; let it come to you.
Keep out of public view. Cultivate
retirement and modesty. The cares and
responsibilities of life will come soon
enough. JWhen they come you will meet

Georgia Voting Quliiieatioug.
Mr. Iledfield notices the Let that
“the Democrats of Georgia got all the
power and passed a series of laws to en
trench themselves, the most effective
—even beating the efficient“peace law”
of A'abama—is the tax law, by which
every voter (every negro, ceitaiuly),
must pay his previous taxes before
he cau vote.
“In this way between thirty and for
ty thousand blacks r re virtually disfran*
ctaised. Ido not discuss the theory of
the measure, or the justice of requiring
a tax receipt frem a voter as a condition
precedent to his voting, but merely state
the fact.”
The Telegraph has refuted this slan
der at least twenty times, but it seems
impossible to get a hearing on this sub'
ject. Let us then ouce more demand
in the name of truth that the Cincin
nati Commercial Advertiser, or Mr.
iledfield, or, failing these somebo
dy else will for once permit plain old
facts to be printed in the Northern
States.
1. Ihe Democrats of Georgia have
added not a single thing to the qualifica
tions of voters since they have "got all
| the poicer .”
U, These tax qualifications are not
the result of “ series of laics ” passed
by the Democrats, or by arybody else
but of a provision of the State Constitu
tion, framed and adopted in 1868 by a
convention comprehending a large ma>
jority of Radical delegates. See arti
de 2 : _ “Every male person born in
the Luited States,and every person who
has been naturalized, eto * *
who shall have resided cn this State six
months next preceding the election,and
shall have resided thirty in the
county in which he offers to vote, and
shall have paid all taxes which may
been required of him. aad which he
may have had an opportunity of pay
ing. agreeable to taw, for' the year
next pieceding the election,” eto
etc.
Now if any paper which has been in
strumental in circulating the oft
exploded slander will only make the
foregoing statement in their own words
we shall be satisfied. The demand
that voters shall pay their taxes is a
mniicd ahu Euslctea by' -Radicals in the
year 1868, when * they had got all the
power f and not by the Democrats who
found the law as it stands and have
not changed it, and could net change
it.
But it is good, righteous and whole
some law, no matter who made it. It is
an outrage on all justice and good gov
ernment to permit ay man.to vote who
refuses to pay so much as his dollar of
pulp tax towards the expenses of govern
ment. A man who would attepnt to
vote without paying that tax must have
passed beyond blushing for himself if
he does not feel as mean as a chiken
thief.
Race Between a Deer ami a Lo
comotive.
An exciting scene took place in the
long show shed this side of the summit
As the eastern bound freight train had
just emerged from the tunnel the en
gineer saw a deer some way ahead on
the track. The whistle began scream
ing and then followed a highly exciting
scene, There was no aliernative for
the pursued and timid animal but to
keep straight, on down the gloomy cav
ern formed narrow race track and the
flitting openings through which the
gleaming light entered added to the
wildness of the adventure. For over
half a mile the engine rushed onward
