A TEAR.

A tear is a beautiful tfng-beautfui in many
ways. Night sheds her tears upon the leafy grass
and petaed flower. And so beautiful are they, that
Aurora woos them in the opening morn; and as
her brilliant r,ys snatch the sparkling gems away,
there seems upon .ae robbed flowers to linger

the hydrogen of grief diluted with the salt of sor-
row. But there is tear, thai knows nought Of

DISTRICT MEETING.

Again. and for the last time, we call the atten-
ton of the citizens of Kershaw to the District
Meeting of next Monday. Recollect that the peo-
pie is the source of all power. And those who
may be appointed Delegates will feel that they are
expressing the views of their constituents if there
be unaninity of action among themselves. Let
no man be careless whether he attends or not
The North believes we are not in earnest-that it
is all wind work-and the tide of their aggressons,
knows no ebbing. But let us, from our primary
meetings to the Convention itself show ardency of
purpose and perfect unanimty-and they will
learn that the South was never made to bear
Northern yoke.
