THE STOCK LAW.
In the lust number of the Kdgc
fleld Att'vertitvr (ion. M W. Gary
gives his opinion on the question of
t'Xtciiclin?r the provision of the stock
law to I'idgelieUI County iu answer to
a note addressed to him by thirty
seven citizens of the county. Ho
says that the hinds of this State
originally belonged to the State, and
were by degrees granted to the citi
zens of the State. For years there
were thousands of acres known as
'?public lands,'* which furnished a
common range for the stock of every
citizen. Now there tire no public
lands and the products of the soil
have changed, the small fields have
changed and commons for pasturage
are unknown.
I know of no law that gives the
owner of stock the tight to pasture
them upon the land of his neighbor,
and ho is liable under an old statute
In an action for damages for trespass
of stock. Then the stock owner has
no right to complain if his neighbors
claim exclusive right to pasturage
upott their lands. As there is no
law or equity in the claim of the stock
owner, I propose next to consider the
proposed change in the law from an
economical st sind point.
The first thing to nscct'tniu is:
What is the value of the stock ?in this
State?
The second is: What is the cost
of the fencing of the State?
Ity reference to the statistics of
1871, of the agricultural department
of the General Government, the value
of our stock is $2,401,282. Thccqst
of fencing is $21,130,878. These
figures disclose the astounding fact
that we expend more than ten dol
lars in building fences to keep out
one dollar's worth of stock.
It is evident that the custom, as it
now exists, is iu favor of the owner of
?stock, and puts ut a disadvantage
?die land owner, the tenter and the
laborer, in the ratio of ten dollars to
lite dollar. And it must not be for
gotten that lids is a cotton growing
-Unto, and that stock raising is only
an incident in our agricultural pur
suits. The present system of labor
makes the adoptiou of the stock law
an agricultural necessity. It is a
notorious fact thai the average value
of our land per acre will not reach
four dollars, as is evidenced by our
various public sales of land. The
cost of building the fence is more
than the market value of the land,
and there isa wide spread dispoM
tiott on the part of the frecdmcn to
dttrk the splitting of rails. There
are but few cross fences in our best
organized farms: and plantations, as
a general rule, only have an outside
fence, and it not strong enough to
.cop the stock out of our fields. Stock
thai is not kept under fence usually
sappeara wheu turned out at huge.
?If-preservation is the first law of
tta;tire, and i tie tillers of lite soil will
kill slock before liny will lose their
crops, upon which d< ponds the sup
port of themselves, their wives and
children. And enlightened public
opinion will not blame them for it.
Gen. Gary says that ho did not
press this matter while he was in the
Senate because lie thought it was best
io wjtit until Newberry, Aiken and
Lexington were ready to adopt the
law, and so save the expense of build
ing it line fence between the counties.
Gen. Steedman, of Ohio, recently
visited (ieh. 1 lancock and .Mr. Tilden,
Flic former wouldn't talk about poli
tics ut all, and the latter declared he
had retired from the field of polit ical
thought and activity forever?not, ho
said, as Horatio Seymour retired iu
l8(iS, lau permanently. Wlun Gen.
Steedman ventured to remark that
perhaps the Democrats would want
him in 188-1, Mr. Tilden with a
mournful air and a husky whisper
replied, "Top late! too late!"

A U001VOLI) MAN.
"Vom sco, my children," he Paid,
as n little group huddled around him,
"lucre is no habit that you cannot
rid yourself of if you arc resolved,
N<?w, in my early youth I was a sail
or, and contracted the popular hahit
of swearing nt everything and noth
ing. Without provocation I would
rattle off a string of oaths and vio
late the commandment a hundred
times n day. When I left the son
my mother's early teaching returned
lo ine?, ami I mentally resolved that
I would never swear again. Th.it
was forty years ago. and I have
never violated the promise I made
myself. Some of you have little
habits which you can easily rid your
self of} promise me now, my dearies,
that you wi',1 call up your worst ha
hit and drop it to-night."
The promised were readily given
and then came calls for a story. It
was his hahit to supplement his lit
tle lecture by stories.
"Tell us ti story of the sea." lisped
5t little voice.
The old man smiled, and picked
up a couch from the htarth,
"Well, little beauty, 1 will lei the
shell tell it."
lie placed it to his ear, closed his
eyes, anil said:
"Hark! I hear the sen. It is the
Mediterranean, and before me is a
ship pluuging upon the stormy
waves. The crew are huddled about
in terror, and the vessel plunges
along in the lighlingrcut, with no
hand at the helm. But there is one
form that trembles not. It .stands at
the bow with upturned face, gazing
into the heavens."
"Ob, that's Paul, I, know," ex
claimed a childish voice.
"Right again, my child. Inspired
by a divine faith, he stands unmoved
] iti the night; "Wither fear nor paiu
can move him. Hi is a true man,
aud?"
The old man paused ; and the shell
dropped from Iii.-? hand, and a look of
startled inquiry came over his face.
He sprang to his feet and danced a
cancan in the room; he calle ? ou his
patron -stint and stvore n string of
oaths thirteen feet long as he rent the
air with discordsn shrieks, the women
screamed; the chrildreu cried; the j
police{.cttnie, and four neighbors at
last bore him to he iloor and sat
upon him, while another removed
with a pair compasses a bug from
his ear.
One little cockroach-, hid in a shell

A SINGULAR TEXT.
Many doubtless remember the
style which obtained among ladies
some years since, of gathering their
hair together and piling it in a sta
tionurv mound on the upper portion j
of the head by the aid of sundry little
sleel instruments. While this fash
ion was in vogue, nn orthodox clergy
man of a certain village, regarding it
as an abomination, was dtermincd to
use his inlltieiice against it and
?'preach it down." Accordingly, one
Sabbath morning, he mounted his
pulpit, and gave out his text. 'Top
riot come down;" and in short tie
congregation were milch "exercised,'
because the worthy pastor had
preached from a text not to be fond I
in t he Scriptures.' ?l) Tuesday they
called him before a convocation of tlic
saints for thr purpose of making n
formal charge against him from his
cure. The charge was inside, and lie
was stsked if he had sttight to say in
reply. He mildly remarked that the
text was to be found in the Bible; and
that if they would bund him out he
would point out its location and read
it to them. A Bible was given him,
and lie turned slowly to the place
aud read: "And let those upon tl e
housetop not come down!" A vote

IT HARDLY l'AYS.
A New Jersey merchant met an old
acquaintance on a streetcar on the
i Elevated yesterday, and after some
general remarks, the latter said."
"I ?a\v a uewspnpcr no'.ice that you
had failed."
"Yes, I went by the hoard."
"Very bad?"
"Yes, pretty had.''
"Outside speculation, I suppose?"
"Partly."
"Creditors willing to give you a
chance to recover?"
"Yes;"
?"Glad of it; I suppose you'll soo be
all right?"
' Yes; I tell you what, it is a very
disagreeable business. I hud to plead
family extravagance, and my wife,
who hadn't had a new dress for six
months, was as mad as hop, 1 prov
ed that I had given too much to the
church, and the minister called und
raked me over the coals; I had a clerk
abscond with a Jot of cash, and the
creditors made me own up tlr.t he
was my brother. I supposed that 1
had lost !j?"?00 by a lire, but they ligur
ed that 1 was a hundred ahead. I
figured on having enough to pay
thirty cents on the dollar, hut some
how they got hold of of enough to pay
ninety-eight, and put till the cost on
rue. I hist four weeks of trade cm
the top of this, and I'm feeling awful
blue. It hardly pays to fail ? unless
you've got a partner to help to blutf
creditors."?Wall Street Attcu.

Perseverance is the main thing iu
life. To hold ou and holdout to the
cud is the chief matter. Ifthe race
could be won by a spurt, thousands
would wear the blue ribbon ; but they
are short winded, and pull up after
the first gallop. They begin with
Hying, and end with crawling back

work, many take to jibing.
Ifthe apples do not fall at the first

We ought not to be put out of heart j
by difficulties; they are sent ou pur

and depend upon it they do us a world
of good. There's a sound reason
why there arc hones in our meal and
stones in our hind. A world where
everything was easy would he a nur
sery for hal.iies, hut not at all a tit
place for men. Celery is not sweet
till it has felt a frost, and men don't

NOT SO FAST, AFTER ALL.
Some colored philosophci in the
crowd remarked that the telegraph
could travel fast. Old Uncle Mose
spoke up: "Melthe so; hut you can't

Jim Webster replied: "Youdosum

A school-teacher has introduced a

office of the street commissioner for a
marriage license. But the world is
not proud of them. ' It does not
know their name, even. Nobody
likes them, nobody hates them; the

they are here. Things w ill goon just

If you tile a good School Director

they cost a trifle more to start with.
In other words, don't try to get .some
