Fear Not. littst night, while Hailing on the sea. The tender moon looked down on me, And seemed to write upon the tide Tide legend strange, in letters wide: '?Tho' storms be rude, fear not. tear not, For God hath never yet forgot." A storm came down, and reckless bore Our groaning bark from shore to shore. Ere long, upon tho inky main. That samo sweet legend shone again : "Tho' storms ho rude, fear not. tear not. For God hath never yet forgot." So tho' my soul be troubled now, And tempest bid my courage bow, Still will I chant the sky-born hymn I read upon the waters dim : ?'Tho' storms be rude, fear not. fear not, For God hath never }-et forgot." Second Marriages. The subject of step-mothers having provoked many effusions from the members of the "Household" in the Detroit Free. Press, one of the writers sums up the questions as follows: "As a rule, second marriages arc as happy as first. As a rule, second wives are far better than first wives, and in suppott of my views, give the following reasons : Second marriages arc made with more care for the po position - sition position and relation to be occupied than the first; aud although the love may not be so ardent, the tenderness, care and consideration aro greater. Many a young man, for his wife,marri wife,married - ed wife,married a pretty face, beautiful dancer, antl found to his sorrow that that was all he had married, except, pet haps, an invalid; or worse, incompetent, or worse still, a vain, insolent creature for a wife. But in second marriage these things are looked after, conse consequently - quently consequently are more suitable, more har harmonious, - monious, harmonious, nnd fewer divorces or fami familj' - lj' familj' quarrels. Second wives fare bct bctl - l bctl ler than first. A man who has lost a good wife will be altogether more careful and considerate of p second. The time spent in caring for the sick ; the death ; the sorrow ; the time for reflection, all have a tendency to make the heart more tender and con considerate - siderate considerate for a second wife. The Family Circle. If there is any bond in life that ought to be sacredly guarded from everything that can put it in peril, it is that which unites the members of a family. If there be a spot upon earth from which strife should be banished, it is the fireside. There contre the fondest hopes and the ten tenderest - derest tenderest affections. How lovely the spectacle presented by that family which is governed by tlio right spirit! Knob strives io avoid giving ofTence, and is studious studiously - ly studiously considerate of the other's happi happiness. - ness. happiness. Sweet, loving dispositions are cultivated by all and each tries to surpass the other in his efforts for the common harmony. Each heart glows with love ; aud the benediction of heavenly peace seems to abide upon that dwelling with such power that no black fieud of passion can rear his head within it itWho - Who itWho would not realize this lovely picture? It may be realized by all who will employ the appointed means. Let the precepts of the Gospel be ap applied - plied applied as they are designed to be, and they will be found to shed a holy charm upon the family circle, and make it what God designed it should be, the most heaven-like scene on earth. A Fly Story. The Anderson, S. C, Journal) says : Wc arc informed on the most reliable authority of the following re remarkable - markable remarkable incident: Last week a little white girl, living with Mrs. Joe. Ne Neville, - ville, Neville, of Walhalla, felt a disagreeable buzzing in her car, when Mrs. Neville undertook to relieve it by pouring in a few drops of sweet oil. When this was done a common house fly made its appearance from the orifice of the car antl it was followed by others until sixty-four came out by actual count. Being covered with oil, the flies were assisted out with a feather, but how came them there is the question. The Hood Orphans. The Columbus Enquirer sees it stated that the children of Gen.. Jo Joseph - seph Joseph Wheeler, in North Alabama, are preparing an extra fine bale of cotton, which will be sent to New York to be sold for the benefit of General Hood's orphans. Brass tics and heavy cotton duck have been ordered from Nashville to put it up with. This is a generous expression of sym sympathy, - pathy, sympathy, and just such a one as might have been expected from children whose father was as true and brave as thcir's, and who was a friend aud comrade of tho gallant Hood.

Revenge Is Sweet. A strange and terrible revenge was recently taken by a discarded lover I in Indiana. He was about thirty years of nge, and had been industri industriously - ously industriously courting a girl of fifteen, but when he came to pop the question he I was contemptuously rejected, the girl saying that be was old enough to be J her father. Upon that bint he acted, for the girl's mother was a buxom widow of only thirty-five, and he I speedily transferred bis court to her. Their marriage soon followed, and now the younger lady finds that her j ex-lover is her step-father. She thought it was funny until the couple returned from their wedding tour, and then the newly-made stepfather said to her: "My daughter, you ate too fond of beaux. Nice young men, ice-cream and buggy rides arc not proper luxuries for a little girl like you. I am old enough to bo your father, and, what's more, I am. Go up stairs, take off that there silk dress, get ready for school, and don't let me hear beax or buggy, ice icecream - cream icecream or nice young man from you for at least three years." And now I that young lady is retired in calico and study, vainly repenting her rash rashness, - ness, rashness, and finding out by dire experi experience - ence experience that a lover scorned can be one's worst enemy, especially when he be becomes - comes becomes a step father. Faithful. In the list of deaths from yellow fever at Memphis, arc the names of E. E. Marshall and Mrs. Jane Marsh Marshall, - all, Marshall, his wife. The circumstances at attending - tending attending their death form one of the most singular incidents of the epidem epidemic. - ic. epidemic. They were both taken down about the same time, and died within a half hour of each other. During their illness they refused admission to the doctors and nurses scut them, and took no medicine at all. They were prepared for burial at the same time, and borne to their last resting place together. The funeral presented a spectacle that would have touched the most callous observer. The pro procession - cession procession consisted of the two hearses and an empty carriage following. There was not a sipgle mourner?no one to shed a tear over the two who had loved each other su well that death had no terrors for them if they could die together. Hand in hand they had trod the pathway of wedded life ; and then passed "Through the dark gate to that beyond which no man knows." Stop My Paper. Some people think that the way to make an editor view matters as they do, and foicc him into measures when things don't suit him, is to order him in a most peremptory manner to "stop my paper!" It invariably fol follows - lows follows also, that such men, after dis discontinuing - continuing discontinuing their subscription, go about the streets and predict all sorts of calamities to befall the pa paper. - per. paper. "It can't live," and such like expressions. Hut we have a conso consolation. - lation. consolation. In a case of this kind?and we can call upon the fraternity for corroboration of what we assert--the editor, no matter how much he may be abused, almost always lives to at attend - tend attend the funeral and writes the obitu obituary - ary obituary of all Buch people. Those who | think they can control newspapers for only a few dollars a year, take warn warning. - ing. warning. In the neighborhood where I once lived a man and his wife were almost constantly quarreling. During their quarrels an only child was generally present, and of course had got many of his father's expressions. One day when the boy bad been doing some something - thing something wrong, the mother, intending to chastise him called him and said: "Come here, sir ; what did you do that for?" The boy complacently folding uisarrps and imitating his father's manner replied : "Sec Ijcre, madam, I don't wish to bavo any word* with yqu |" A bold, bad burglar recently broke into the house of an editor in the watches of the night. The editor awakened and questioned the intrud intruder - er intruder : "What do you want here? What look you for?" Said the burglar, grullly, "Money." "Hold on a min minute," - ute," minute," quoth the editor, "and I fill help you ; I've been looking myself for ten years, but perhaps the two of ua may hayp bettor luck." Then was the burglar much disgusted, but the editor called it a joke and insisted j that the burglar ought to sot 'em up.

An Enquiry Answered. Editor Oranyebury Democrat: I see in the Times of hist week an inquiry from "A Forker," want wanting - ing wanting to know why it is that the Barn Barnwell - well Barnwell and Colleton boys all come to Ornngeburg for wives, while none of tho Orangeburg boys ever go to Barn well or Colleton in search of better halves. In reply I will state, for the benefit of "A Forker," that he is not posted nnd knows nothing of that which he writes. I know one family of seven sons, four of whom got wives in Barnwell County, and one more of the same family that will soon do-likewise. Now, "Forker," I can tell you WI13' tho boys in Barn Barnwell - well Barnwell come to Orangeburg for wives. They know that a prophet is not with without - out without honor save in his own country. It is not because Barnwell has no pretty girls in her territory. I tliinfc "Forker" had better got the position of census-taker nnd in that way he could investigate the matter, and li2 will find to his surprise that ten times as many boys go to Barnwell lor wives as come toOiangcburg from Barnwell, nnd the reason i3 simply this, the Ornngeburg boys are so< good looking that the Barnwell boys don't stand any chance when we put in an appearance, but we can go any where and "hold the fort." Don't bo boalarmed, - alarmed, boalarmed, "Forker," if you.are-a.true you.are-a.trueson - son you.are-a.trueson of old Orangcburg's soiliyou are safe at home and the Barnweliibov? won't hurt you. If one of thorn'.has* taken your sweetheart, it is your-own. fault. Retaliate?go over and court some Barnwell girl and iff you are worthy of a good wife you williget it.. Another Fonragu? Fohk Edisto, Oct. 7th, l&T-ftj Origin of Dixie. The Baltimore Gazette says r. Some years ago, long before the war a-iVeryi musical family by the name of' Dixie., lived in Worcester, Mass. Ooo of the brothers, Walston Dixie, we be-, lieve, decided to appl}' hi3 tnlento-in. the negro minstrelsy line, and aeon, the famous Dixie minstrels were^ known from one end of the corsntny. to the other. This same f?undertoft: the troupe wrote the celeoriHwh, song, "Dixie's Laud," which attain attained -- ed attained such great popularity. It wov verily the land for him, as he found ' in the Southern* States the germs of the quaint negro songs, which ho brushed up nnd placed in his pro programme. - gramme. programme. The South adopted the song nnd hence allowed this gifted minstrel of Massachusetts to give that section of U12 country a new name, which will always stick. Many songs were adopted and sec sectionalized - tionalized sectionalized in this way. Our own "Yankee Doodle" was written by an Englishman as a satire, but our an anesctors - esctors anesctors picked it up and gave it a home. Crimes at the North. One of the most absurd charges brought against the South is the vio violence - lence violence and lawlessness that are said to prevail. It is absurd when we con consider - sider consider the source aud in view or what is daily occurring at the North. For the last few days we have partially scanned the record of Northern crime, nnd wc do not hesitate to affirm that, population considered, there is double the crime in the Northern States that there is in the Southern States. We do not say this by way of revenge or rejoicing, but because the "records will sustain the charge. It requires a vast deal of check in any people to bo burling accusations at their neigh neighbors - bors neighbors when greater cause for com complaint - plaint complaint lies at their own doors. There is a refinement and ingenuity of sav savagery - agery savagery and diabolism in the crimes of the North of which our scoundrels as yet know nothing.?* Wilmington Star. Tim editor who squashed a juicy cockroach with the butt end of his load pencil and afterwards forgetfully sucked the same while wooing a coy expression, suddenly found a word, but it proved to be foreign on the Nuhiect under contemplation. A gentleman was promenading the street with a bright little boy at his side|whcnjlhc little fellow cried : "Oh ! pa, there goes an editor!'' "Hush, Hush I" said the father, " don't make sport of the poor man?God only knows what you may come, to yet." Wiikn a woman flitU sdAO cannot afibrd a new dress, she economizes by spending ns much as it wojujd, have cost in buying ribbon to cover tho uh\ one with bows,

Our Jury System. The grand jury of Fairfield County, in its report to the Circuit Court, lias this to say about the present system of trial by jury: ''Wo honestly be believe - lieve believe that a new law is now needed. Under the present system one villian upon a jury is equal to eleven honest men, and may in all cases even of the most flagrant naturo, defeat the ends of justice and run the county to endless cxponsc by making mistrials from term to term. If sixteen jurors were drawn, With twelve to agree, the difficulty might bo remedied, and without some change we fear that trial by jury, as at prosent practiced, although the boasted bulwark of civ civilization, - ilization, civilization, will be brought into ridi ridicule." - cule." ridicule." This relates to a matter of very great concern to the people at large, and the change herein suggest suggested - ed suggested is of no small importance. It would completely revolutionize the old method of trial by jury, which we have been taught to believe from time out of mind is the gicat bulwark of civilization, and the question arises, would the defect of the present sys system - tem system be remedied b}f the contemplrtcd change? This is a question which we will refer to the culm judgment and careful consideration ol our Leg Legislature.?Georgetown - islature.?Georgetown Legislature.?Georgetown Times and Co Comet. - met. Comet. The Courtship of Blanqui, The courtship and marriage of M. Blanqui, the French revolutiouist, are said to have been very romantic. When only nineteen ho became a tu tutor - tor tutor in an aristocratic family living near Toulouse. He fell in love with a young lady also residing in the cha chateau, - teau, chateau, but she was wealthy and he did not venture to disclose his devotion. For six years he remained silent, when at last she discovered his feel feeling, - ing, feeling, and, returning it, became his wife. Six 3Tcars afterwards she died, lilanqui still wears mourning lor her. In 1818, at the Radical club he pre presided - sided presided over, be never took off the black gloves he habitually wore. These produced a curious eflect when" he used gestures to emphasize any remarks he made in his somewhat shrill voice. These gloves are of a peculiar make, and come high up the wrist like those of a lad}'. The rea reason - son reason for this singularity is that the de" teimlned conspirator still wears on his wriRt the bracelet of her he loved and still mourns. Joining Her Betrothed in Death. Cincinnati, Oct. q.?Miss Lillic George, a pupil of the Cincinnati College of Music, 18 years of age, whose home is at Ronapartc, Iowa, was engaged to be married to Mr. Fred. M. Fcrriman. At 1 a. in. on Sunday he was taken with congestive chills, and died at lOp^m. Miss George attended him faithfully during his illness, and before he died she said: "Good-bye, wc will not be separated long." Yesterday fore forenoon, - noon, forenoon, at her boarding house, 311 West Fourth street, she placed the muzzle of a pistol over her left breast and fired. There is very little hope of her recovery.?N. Y. Sun. Tribute to a Worthy Colored Man. John Scott, a worthy colored man, of Mechanicsville, and a staunch member of Hampton Democratic Club which he joined about three years ago, at a time when it was a reproach among his race to be a Democrat died a short time ago, after a long sickness ; from Dropsy. The Club bought his coflin, and its members, both while and colored, attended his funeral, and united in showing to bis remains the respect due to a good and true man.? True Southron' Georgetown not only has the most beautiful women and the smartest men, but also a benevolent old turkey gobbler. Mr. Ed. Harper informs us that, near his place, on the county line, is a brood of young guineas, all hatphed out by a turkey gobbler be belonging - longing belonging to his mother-in-law. This beats anything we ever heard of; and now we want to sec any of our up country friends beat it.

A Grange Essay. The Grange was formed for mutual education, elevation, assistance and sympathy among farmers ; for an in interchange - terchange interchange of thought, observation and experience, so that each may bo benefltted by the thought, observa observation - tion observation and experienoo of all. Every one might bring something to read or to bo read, ask some questions, give some item of his own experience new to tho others if not to himself, and this at every meeting. I each mem member - ber member considered himself or herself re responsible - sponsible responsible for the interest of every meeting, what a centre of attraction our society would be, and what a vim it would add to our gatherings ! Farming is not such a finished, dead and buried science that there is nothing new to be said about it. There have been wonderfnl improve improvements - ments improvements made within the last few yenr8, and who can say tho future will not bring out still more wonder wonderful - ful wonderful things? Furniers, many of them, have been behind the times, attending to their own business, raising their crops, while sharpers made it tiieir business to watch the markets, buy at the lowest price and sell al au ad advance, - vance, advance, thus making money by their brain labor, often without lifting a linger, while the farmer perhaps loses or is barely paid for his hard labor, when, bad he been be'.tcr informed, ho might have had the whole profit himself. We are instructed to adorn our homes, to make them attractive to our children, to buy more books, take more newspapers and magazines, so that we may compare favorably as a class with other classes. Now this cannot be done without money, and if our means are limited I see no way of inflating the currency in a safe and perfectlj' legitimate way except by purchasing our supplies at whole wholesale - sale wholesale prices. Wc arc assured we can do this at fifty per cent, discount: if I so, and I have no doubt of it, it would have the same effect as mak making - ing making fifty cents worth a dollar to us As to quality, the purchasers having a direct interest in the articles for their own use, would certainly aim '""to" obtaiir*tho .best. It is merely a question of putting fifty per cent, profit in the dealers' pocket or our own. If we can save from ten to twenty dollars each family per year, which is, I think, within reasonable bounds, that would be from two to four hundred dollars per year for a Grange, which is certainly worth a little exertion. If any of jou are in each easy circumstances thut you do not feel the need of co-operation, you could obtain an article of as good a quality through the Grange, and have half your money to bestow on charitable objects, whicli abound on every side. I do hope all will feel it their duty and pleasure to unite in this work, which is intended equally for the benefit of each and every member of tho Grange and for the exclusive benefit of none. A Grange without discussion of sub subjects, - jects, subjects, without the reading of selected pieces 01 essays, without the inter interchange - change interchange of ideas, experience and ob observation, - servation, observation, and without co-operation in financial affairs, is like the frame work of a house?useless unless fin finished - ished finished and furnished. Our Grange will be just what wc make it; let us make it a decided success. Lost Things. There arc a great many things lost that arc found again, and a great many things that are Jost and never found. There arc reputations lost which cannot be regained ; there arc hopes lost, whioh cornp not back again ; there are joys and friendships lost 1 there are thoughts and talents ? lost which arc never fouud. Every man has at some time lost something, which he would give the world, if it were his, to recover. It may have been hut a single pearl# from the thread of friendship, or a mere hope of his soul, but it was preciously dear to him, and lifo is sad and dark without it. The smallest things are oftentimes the dearest to the heart of a man, as for instance a little wife, a little home, etc. What wonder then that when they are possessed nothing could induce him to give them up. A Democratic gin in Burke county, Ga., killed a negro the other day. Wo givp the politics of the gin for the benefit of the stalwart organs. There wag no provocation on {,ke part of the negro. The gin pimply reached, and took him in.

The Old Folks. Do young people ever think they will ho old ; they will soon feel that the grasshopper is a burden and foar is in the way ? Only a few short years ago that aged man and feeble woman were young, strong and full of life ; their loving hearts were gushing with tenderness and caro for the little ones who now stand in their places. Do not jostle that aged couple out of your pathway, but. rath rathor - or rathor lift them with tender care over the rough, declining road. You may have forgotten bow they kept 3'our tender feet from stumbling, and with care they watched your advancing steps. But they have not forgotten, and the time will come when you will be foieibly reminded of it, by the love you have for your own little ones. Will they hand you the same bitter cup to drink that you put out for that aged father and sltickcn mother? Verily, "with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Think of the anxious days and nights your mother has watched by your sick bed ; remember her loving care ; her patience and long-suffering will? your fretfulncss, and thou let the blush of shame dye your brow, that! yon should be impatient or unkind to' her now that she is'old. Old folks arc such a trial! Yes, they know it; they feel it! and so will you bo such a trial to your children in the days that will surely come ; aye, and you j will remember, too! A Modol Rat Killer. One day a tramp walked into a barroom out West, and, representing himself as the champion rat-killer of the States, told the proprietress that, it: considciation of a good dinner, he would destroy every rat upon the premises. To tins she readily con consented, - sented, consented, as the house was indeed ter terribly - ribly terribly infested with the vermin. The tramp was marshaled into the dining room and enough eatables were set before him for three ordinary men, which he went through in double doublequick - quick doublequick time ; he then smacked his lips and called for something to drink to wash the food down. The landlady gave him a flask of "old rye," and by the lime that was gone he declared himself satisfied and said: "Now, then, clear the room of everything, get me a club, and I am ready for business," Curious to know how be was going to proceed, and chuckling Iq herself as she thought how cheaply she was getting rid of the rats, she ; soon placed a club in his hands. He rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands together, and, holding tho club aloft, yelled : "Now, then, old wo woman, - man, woman, trot out your rats; 1 feel like annihilating a couple of thousand of them 1" Loveliness. What constitutes true loveliness? Not tho polished brow, the gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of fashionable life. A woman may have all the outward marks of beauty, and yet not possess a lovely character. It is the bonevolent disposition, the kind acts, and the Christain depart department. - ment. department. It is in the heart, where mock mockncss, - ncss, mockncss, truth, affection, humanity arc found, whore we look for loveliness ; nor do we look in vain. The wo womau - mau womau who can smooth the aching heart, smooth'the wrinkled brow, alleviate the anguish of the mind, nnd pour the balm of consolation in the wound wounded - ed wounded breast, possosscs, in an eminent degree, true liveliness of character. It is such a character that blesses with warmth and sunshine, and makes earth to resemble paradise, An instance of hereditary in crimo is furnished by Elias Phillips, of Free Freetown, - town, Freetown, Mass., who recently appeared as a witness in a burglary trial, hav having - ing having turned State's evidence. He is a great-grandson of Maibone Briggs, a notorious criminal, who was in prison with seven of his sons at one time. Briggs' ancestry is traced back to a noted pirate in the time of Earl Bcil Bcilamont, - amont, Bcilamont, nnd his branch of the family has, for over n century, furnished noted criminals in every generation. ) AnsEN-r-MiNDKDNKSs.?"What is your notion of absent-mindedness?" asked Rufus Qboato of a witness whom he was cross-examining, well," said the wilnces, with a strong Yapkcc accent, "I should say that a man who thought he'd left bis watch to hum, ami took it out'n bis pocket to sec if he'd lime to go hum and get it, was a leetle absent-minded,"

_.-. !? Items of Thought. Poplar, S. C, Oct.-'S, 1879. Editor Orangeburg Democrat : How iuactivo and unonthusiastie everything seems without change! Earth itself, witli all her grandeur nnd beauty of seasons, nil her varied aspects of land and water, would without change lose many passionate admirers. While music, that angelic soul enchauting art, would become one long, dull, routine of exercise. Our lives need ohanges ?we are not contented with the same monotonous existence, and unsatisfied natures long for something?and often not knowing what that something is?on is?only - ly is?only a change, The youths of our day are not contented to be always the same; they look forward to manhood und womanhood. Tho middle-aged are consoling memory witty reminis reminiscences - cences reminiscences of their past lives, but looking forward to that change of years, which is fast approuching. Tho old look back on their past existence as a vast scene spread out before thciri, und themselves the chief actors on the stage of life. Arc they content contented? - ed? contented? Ask them individually. Here's the father, who hns been supporting a family for years, ploughing the same fields, sowing the same cerials, and been using the same prayer in his family since lie felt it his lainily, since he felt it his conscientious duty ; if he needs a change? Turn to the mother, who has been faithful and considerate to a fault, whose careworn countenance, expressionless eyes, and with slow, soft, tread, if she too, needs a change? Ask the physician, who knows time as bcr longing to him exclusively, if he wants a change. Why do editors cm cmploy - ploy cmploy their precious moments in look looking - ing looking over various exchanges? Because they wish to Belcct such articles, as will best suit their subscrib subscribers?and - ers?and subscribers?and also, to permanently secure that interest, which only a change of sentiment can obtain. If wc had only perpetual| moonlight nights, poets nud authors,- belles and beaux, would not rav*o so much about he soft and beaat'??l radiance. Truly, life may be riglJRy compared to the tide. Every one has atoms of pleusme and happiness, bat there is an ebb and a How of all earthly joys and griefs. How unutterably sad must be the life of the unloved ! and how cheerless is life, without sympa sympathy - thy sympathy ! 1 quote a few lines, which are so simple, though so beautiful, '.hat they cannot fail to be admired and appreciated : '?Life! we have been long together. Through pluasant and through cloudy weatbeJ; 'Tis hard to part when friends arc dear, Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away; give little warning; Choose thine own time, Say not goodnight! but in some brighter dime, Bid me, good morning !" John Joel. Live for Something. Thousands of men breathe, move and live?pass off Hie stage of life aid are heard of no more. Why? They did not a particlo of good in this world, and none were blessed by them ; none could point to them us the instrument of their redemption ; not a line they wrote, not a word they spoke could be recalled ; and so tl?ey perished, their light went out in dark darkness, - ness, darkness, they were not remembered more than the insects of yesterday. Will you livo and die, O men immortal? Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of vir virtue - tue virtue that the storms of time can never destro}'. Write your name by kind kindness, - ness, kindness, love and mercy, upon the hearts of the thousands you come in contact with year by year, anil you will never be forgotten. No! your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind, as tlio stars on the brow of evening. Good deeds will shine as brightly on the earth as the stars of heaven. Gukat Mistakks.?To set up our standard of right and wrong, and judgo ppople accordingly. To expect utr'fortuity of opinion in this world. To worry otl us and oiir0elvc.s with what cannot be remedied.
