HoPE.-To the dying Christian she whispers
I" The bosom Of God is the home of the soul"
where he shall meet the loved ones of earth, and
sorrow and death shall never come. As the other
faculties desert him, she presses the closer, and

FoRTUNE.-In Paris, a poor dealer in old furni-
ture recently met with one of those pieces of good
fortune which we occasionally hear of as coming
to the relief of the destitute. In the old narrow
street called St. Pepin resided, and Immediately
opposite where his palace stood, is the shop of a
petty broker. Amoung his articles for sail was an
ola arm char, so worn with age that no one would
give him forty sous, all he asked, for it. Tired Of
selng II SO long a useless cumbrance, he resolved
to break 1t up, and convert the horse-hair to some
more profitable use, and burn the fragments. In
tins operation, he found concealed in the seat a roll
OF paper, in which were wrapped notes of the Bank
OF France to the amount of II 800 francs, all tof
which were of the form adopted when this establish
ment was first found ed. Should think he could

" Vile and Infamous lncendaries. ;

In a late number of the " Georgia Flag of the
Union" a democratic paper published at Milledg-
eyIlle, we find the following, which shows the ehiv-
.%alFcus SPIRIT or se Slave pOwer.~The heart OF that
man must, indeed have become lost to every sense
of virtue and goodness, who could commit a brut-
al assault like the following upon an unoffending
defenceless brother, for no other offence than thai
Of human nature-those rights which are IN per-
feet accordance with the laws Of God and human
ity, and then boast Of snch an assault as a very
patriotic service. No man deserving the privi-
leges of a freeman will regard the patriotism OF
Mr. Benjamin B.. Smith who figures so conspiciu-
ously in the scene below, with any other feelings
than those of shame and detestation. 1t is the
same kind of patriotism that characteristics a pro
slavery spirit wherever that spirit is found.

possibility falls wholly upon the Liberty party
This we utterly deny. They had no moral right
to make such terms as they proposed to us, terms
which demand a fragrant violation of f~undameptal
principles. IF they had no right to fix such terms
no responsibility attaches to US, for refusing those
terms. If one man proposes to steal a bushel OF
gram, if his ~neighbor will carry it to a destitute
family, and the man refuses to take any part IN
such a transaction, shall he be charged with guilt
for preventing a donation to the poor? TheLiberty
party would most gladly cooperate with the wings
in opposing annexation on right principles; they
have long been anxious and active in this work
but when the wings require conditions of coopera-
ton, which are in themselves sinful, and in our
view, subversive of human rights, and which San
Ypc complied wlth'Honly by sacrificing vital princi-
piles, which are the basis of our organization, then
it is duty to decline such conditions, and the res
possibility and reproach falls on those who frame
such conditions. Let the wings first establish their
right in the sight of Heaven, and in view of the
doctrines ofthe declaration to set up a STAKEHOLDER
before they attempt to throw the responsibility on
US. Who are the sinners above other men-we
for declining the conditions, or the wings for in
sisting on them-proVided, that decision is made on
the principles of the bible and the declaration. Go
on, Liberty men, unawed and unchecked by this
last vial of wrath. r. F.

Dear Sir.

Dear SIR
1t is .~rueGthat there are open and avowed aboli-
tionists in this country On Monday the 10th Of
October. the day that our Congressional election
took place, a man by the name of Henry Holmes.
Il citizen Of this county, and a Shareholder, pub
licIy stated that he was an abolitionist, in the pres
ence of at least seventy five or eighty men. Upon
his making the avowal, fearing that | might have
misunderstood him, asked him to state what he
said again. He then said that he was an aboli-
tionist-upon which U-I GAVE HIM SEVER.

the other James Adams, Jr. is notoriousIy so, and
has so declared himself in the presence of some OF

Mr.. Hoar to Gov. Hammond.
CHARLESTON, 2sth-Nov., 1914.

SIR
Your Excellency is already informed Of remon-
strances made by the commonwealth OF MasSachu-
sets against the arrest and imprlsciinent of her
citizens in South Carolina, against 8 hon the com-
mission of no crime is a~lledged. 1Ae legislature
of Massachusetts has recently passed a resolve,
authorizing the governor of thar Stare to appoint
an agent "for the purpose of collecting an. trans
hitting accurate information respec 'ng the num-
Der and the names Of citizens Of Mas ~dfusetts who
have heretofore been, or may beE&Ang the pc
Rod of the nsage@enf Of Tic-dT rr%i-a'ser'
without the allegation of any crime" The agent
is also authorized to bring and prosecute one or
more suits in behalf of any citizen that may be so
imprisoned, at the expense Of Massachusetts, for
the purpose of having the legality Of such impriS-
onment tried and determined in the Supreme Court
of the United States.
The Governor of Massachusetts has appointed
me agenl ofthat State, to execute the purposes a
bove mentioned and ! arrived in this city this
morning for that purpose. | do not know that
your ExceIlency will consider it proper in any
way to notice this subject, yet ~propriety seemed
to require this communication.
With great respect, your ExcelIency's
obedient servant,
SAMUEL HOAR.
To his ExcelIency, j. H. HAMMOND,
Governor of South Carolina.

From idle words may s]pring.',

But what are idle words? We watch the Inns
OF the young and aged, Of the wise and ignorant,
OF the thoughtful and gidGy, and we hear the au-
dlbIe expression Of careless hearts, but certainly
these cannot be light words, for all have their ef-
lec,S' deep serious and lasting. Light words! the
very name is a mockery-a burden to the heart.
FOR however lightly they fall from the lips, heav-
lily do they rest on the spirit.
