There are several features connected with the t.tijsgement that are worthy of note. In the first place, the company is one ol llic tiuest in the country.

In the second place, it is the only company that has ever visited Charleston that has offered a matinee performance, and in the third place it is one of the few companies that do not depend upon a one night performance. The people of Charleston need not be told that the MclntvreC-Heath combination is "first class," because it hasjbeen here before and has played to one of the largest audiences that has even been seen in the Academy of Music. The matinee on Saturday will a fiord the oppor tunity to hundreds of ladies and children to see lor the first time in their lives a minstrel performance and will therefore be crowded It would be as well, therefore, to secure seats in Sick and bilious headache cured bv Dr. Pierce's "Pellets." dwlw To Property Owners.

These vows are self-assumed. No external authority imposes them and if ope choose he may refuse to vow and none will force him thereto. It is his to make or not to make the vow. But once ruad the vow must be kept. It is not his to -en or not to keep it Liberty is at an end and thenceforth lie ceases to be hi3 own master, with this aa his lirst duty and the claim upon him.

Unlike the vows of old, the Christian's vow knows no release. It binds for life and pledges hiiu to an entire consecration of what lie has wealth, learning, reputation, family; snd also of what he is thoughts, energies, fee! unities.
