PUBLISHED EVER Y TIURSDAY AT - E BERRY,S.C. The 3Man-iou and the Man. [Ponieroy Library.] A few weeks since there came a young man to a vacant lot near our home. We saw him one morning with a tape line in his hand. He started from a stake driven in the earth and walked some distunee away. He drew that line as taut and straight as line could be drawi. Right over a vacant lot-over a low lace in the earth where dirty water hui settld, rubbish had been thrown and all m :ainner of un cleannest had accuruulated, anul from whence in the sunnner tiue went out : malaria and poison. in: a little while there . cane another m:an---then another; tihen other mon. All of them workers. They be-'an with picks and spades. 'They loaded carts with all manner of old rubi,i"h and it was carted to the dumping ground. They followed the line to the East-then to the North, then to th: \est, andi then to the South, as a brave warrior for the right follows the line of duty. The workmen came to the solid rock. It was in their way. Then with bars of steel, and sledges of iron iii the strong arms of industrious men they heat the anvil chorus and drove progression with a drill where daylight had never - before penetrated. Mind directed mat ter. Bold and well-directed strokes told against the rocks which had for ages but waited for all this hardihood n .- and daring of those who proposed to build up something on a firm basis. The man with gunpowder came one day. He emptied granulated ingenuity into the Loles made by the drill. He filled in with hard gritty sand, well packed alongside the line of fuse. Ex plosions followed. The rock.wasbroken. A man came one day to find fault. He I said the noise disturbed him. That what God had made a rock must not be broken to be made into a wail. He asked what all this meant. The man ' with the line and the plans in his head and his hands made answer that man sion was to be erected there. and that before it could be done the old rub bish must be taken away before the - new can be built. The work went on. How oft from the window of our library have we watched the laborers. Start ing from the foundation they builded squarely, broadly and well. From the bed-rock they built. Stone upon stone -brick upon brick-story after story was gained. Higher and higher grew the wails, au-d, as they grew, up and stil up rose the wvorkmien, as, in the Eternal, will rise above the lazy, the idle, the groveling. all who dare be men-builders; living fingers to the hands of God. This morning we looked and the walls were all up. A row of fifteen elegant houses-mansions of them selves, now mark the spot where but a few weeks since was a Golgotha for rubbish, a place filled with unclean things. The old hzas passed away. The new has arisen. The waste places have been made glad by the wgrkmen. The rawi material has been utilized. The ground so long despised has been cleaned away and made valuable. Where w'as but dirt and filth will soon be beautiful homes, standing on sure foundations. The v.orkmnen will here have homes. Side by sidle they will live in peace, take 'their rest, enjoy their comfor(,t5, and gather strength to build still more. Here is a house with many .man:sions, wi: b no occasion for the occul:ant of either to quarrel one with the other, for where there arc uin told millions of workers t here is excl u siv e honor for:none, but abundant re ward for all. These houses will soon be finished. Their floors will be laid with carpets. Their walls will be hung withI pictures. Happy parents and( children will gather by the fireside, or sit on the porch when comes the twvi light to talk of home joys and the work of the morrow. Turn we now front the window and the mansion to the man. Not to the man who is, but the man who will be, to the boy who will read this, and whom we would see great and happy. We know a boy who lives in a small house ; who sleeps in a small room ; who has a plain home far away from where this home chapter is written. This boy's father is a friend of ours. Through evil as well as good report he has been a good friend. In dark hours he has stood by us to sustain and en courage, giving of his good thoughts and kind words that sunshine wvhich makes twigs grow to be oaks all in good time. We cannot well help the father for he does not need help. But as he has been a friend to us so would we be a friend to his dear son. So we will draw our chair and our desk near the fire and the fender, and this to the boy who has come to sit in that easy chair so close by, in love, anLid desire to do good, we say : Take a lesson from the builders. Sit * with us at ease, and let us look into the fire to see the cor' hurning. Let us throw otU all the e.: .Ungs of bigotry, and prejudii-e. and st! i!shmness, in order to he '.en. Years :-oy there e:ine a' sunnons to our hnomet. andl to her .work in thek G1lden Gardens. went the spirit of~ a d;ear motiher. That was more thizn half a~ Ufta i. They told us shp was- in the churebyard.( btt we could not tind her. Tihey told us that she had gone fo rever. but we could not believe it. As the years rolled by to join the pa1st. how we k,ngzed for a mothier's love, and her care, and good advice, and maternal interest. How much would we have given for friendly c*ounisellor who could .give advice~ and point the way to ai higher andi silm ighelir success. When camne trials, an d griefs, and storm1s, we called to her, and called, aind lifted up the heart with its st ruggles, till at last she came x and pointed the way. So, too, would we, withitut selhishness, y> in~t the better waty to all poo)r boys wh v.d be good men-to ali n:en whoti wood be happicr and better. It is glorioul1 to build. w.hethxer of man sions or of man. The workmen w~ho ereeted the houses, first lined out, and then prepared the grounds. They dug emoved all there was of the bad to make room for the good. So, too, would we build for manhood. Could we but live our life over again, starting from boyhood, how many an error-how many mistakes would we try to avoid. Men and boys make mistakes. We wonder they do not com mit more. Many a spot in the road of life would be avoided. We should try to be more brave-more earnest in the defense of the right, and to protect the weak. There is not a boy but can do better than we have done. There is not a man but who can, by beginning at once, build himself up to a glorious position. First, clear out from the heart all the dirty rubbish. Leave off the slang, the vulgarity, the words which blacken and soil the mind till it throws out malaria, and fever, and poison, as do pools of stagnant water. Keep the heart pure and the brain active. Study for the best, and whn you have found it, work and study for something still better. Never be satis lied with one good act--nor a hundred -nor a thousand. But add theni to ether, one after the other, till at last you will have a string of pearls to lift you higher, instead of pebbles to sink you lower. Hearts, like houses, can be built out. Minds, like homes, can he beautified. It is as easy to plant a noble ambition as to plant sordid desires and all those trees which bear but bitter fruit. Remember that it is little by little, inch by inch, but steadily upward. This is the way the work of the man becomes the man sion. This is the way the poor boy becomes the great man. This is the way the apprentice becomes the master-the pupil becomes the master, and the intelligence of mortals the power and unknown greatness of those who are immortal. Build your walls of good material and they will last. Keep out the rotten sticks and that rubbish which has been thrown away by those who have passed along before you. Be kind to the poor, for every good act is a plant that will bear blossoms to our credit in the beautiful beyond. By the hearth and fenders of many homes in the country to-night are rest ing boys, who in a few years will be the smartest men in the land. They will be the workers-the, builders -the ones who will be great-and pow erful in proportion as they take care of themselves. Then let all the boys who read this, clear away the rubbish and begin building for the glorious manhood of the future. That better future when it will not be a sin for ma-n to have ideas or to express them. That future which will be better when men make it s->. That future which is bet ter open to the poor than to the rich, as work is better than play when men are to be made. If all the boys in the country would build themselves into men in the most glorious acceptation of the term, what a country ours would be ! Then there would be no more prisons, or need for them. No poor-houses, for bad habits would not make paupers. No poverty, for all would l,e thrifty. No armies of orphans ; no multitudes of drunkards* who make wives miserable, children wretched, and mankind a disgrace to humanity. We want every boy in the land to become a rich, a good, a useful man, and will do our best to help thenm along on the road that leads to peace, to prosperity, anid to the man sion there will be for every brave, truthful, deserving man in that more beautiful land wvhere are the Garden of the Leal in the new life and the bet ter homne for all of us who would beC remembered for the good we have done before there conmes to us on earth the final Sat urday Night. Married in Jail. LPickcens Letter to Easley Messenmger.1 Last 'Wednesday nmorn ing about half past 10 o'clock, Sheriff Richey told your correspondent that he had some important business at the jail for him. We immediately proceeded to that place, not having any intimation of the purpose of our visit, and upon reaching the jail that official invited us to have a seat. In half an hour he, armed with the Methodist discipline, invited us to go up stairs with him, and in about two minutes a young man and lady stepped out of one of the cells, arm in arm, and presented themselves before the sheriff and about twenty other per sons to be married. The contracting parties were L. C. Powell, who is serv ing sentence, and Miss Josephine Pow ell, of Rocky Bottom. The sheriff with all the precision and pomp of a bishop read the Methodist ceremony and occasionally he would interline with his own language. It was certainly a romantic marriage, as it was understood that the parties had intended to marry, but the groom was arrested. tried and sentenced to eighteen months in jail for violation of the revenue laws. Determined that Uncle Sam should not interfere with their happiness, the young wvoman come to the jail and they were made husband and wife. Congratulations were extended by those plresent, wishing them a long,. prosperous and happy life with a joyous Two teachers oIf languages were dis cussinmg matter's and thing.s relatis e to their prJofessionI.
