ON THE DEATH OF MIR. CALHOUN.
BY F. MCNERHANY.

''We hail this young Carolinian as one of the
master spirits who stamp their names upon the
age in which they ve."-Ricla1ond Enquirer,
December 1911.
As a glorious sun that llumines the sky,
While clustering stars pale before it on high,
So shone he great intellectual light,
In galaxy dazzling, resplendently bright!
A statesman nnrivalled--a giant in mind--
His spirit as chalnless, as free as the wind
He stood like pillar, majestic, sublime,
Not reared for day, but for all coming time!
The thuhders of war nor lightnings Of rage
Could disturb the calm mind of the Patriot Sage !;
But with eye kinded up by resolute will,
He flashed back defance-immoveabl still!
In his own sunny cline he was loved with love
The reflex of that which is cher ished above,
And rich honors We're stro wn with bounteous
Der the path of the Sage of that beautiful land |!
But not to the South--to his birth spot alone
Belongs the great deeds of their loved and their
own:
A NATION inherits their glory and fame,
And stamps on its annals his undying name!
His monument, then-the best let it be-
That Nation united, and happy, and free!

1t is not SO easy task to write for newspaper
as people suppose. A man may be good schol-
ar, profound thinker, vigilant observer of pass
newspaper. The power Of writing leading ar
ticle for a newspaper IS tact which few possess,
and which we have known many, with all their
learning and diligence, unable to acquire. 1t re-
quires large amount of information on variety
of subjects, and readiness of application that
must never be at fault, or the writer will fail
For, remember, the editor is always writing a
gainst time, and the memorable printer must have
his copyso that there is no time to revise or amend
for as slip after slip is written, the 'dev' snatch
es away, and one half is usually set up print
before the other half is written. This exacts a
decision of thought and facility Of writing, which
like poetry, seems rather gift of nature than an
acquired faculty. Bradford (Pt) Ca:ctte.

PROUD PosIrIoN OF THE DEMocRAcY.-Every
day the intellect and the power of the Wing party
pay tribute to the broad generous, and constitn-
'ional policy of the Democracy on the question of
slavery for nobly and zealously adheting to that
policy we lost cur candidate for the Presidency
more than year ago. Those who then denounced
and derided it, now endorse and enlogize it. Then
they held up their candidate as sure to oppose it,;
now, he is compelled to admit that it is the true
national ground. As in 1913, 60 in 1850, the
Democracy never wavered in their ardent advo-
cacy of this genuine Democratic principle. 1t is
this policy which is now settling the whole cues
ton, by combining upon it the moral and political
force of many who have heretofore united in OPP
posing it. Talk of any man, or set of men, set
Ting the difficulty! If ever arranged, as we be-
lieve it will be, the noble example and sterling
principles of the Democratic party of the Union
will alone do it. Is this not proud position for
our great old party to occupy! And does it no,
cover the schemes of disorganizers with the con
tempt they deserve !-.Madison (hs.) Courier.

The REALITY OF EauAL1rY-Rothschild is
forced to content himself with the same sky as
the poor newspaper writer; and the great banker
cannot order private sunset, nor add one ray 10
the magnificence Of the night. The same air
swells all lungs. The same kind of bloqd fills
all veins. Each one possesses, really, only his
own thoughts, and his own senses Soul and
body-these are all man completely owns.
In this life. so pariaken by annihilation, what
is there that is real? Is it our sleeping or our
waking; our dreaming or our thonghts Do We

traverses his lips, and the idea as it fits across

force as to injure his spine His neck has, for

A HUMAN BODY AND THE Hour OF THE DAY.
Seat yourself at table. Attach piece of metal
(say shilling) to thread. Having placed your
elbow on table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and fore finger; and allow
the shilling to hang in the centre of glass tum-
bier the pulse will Immediately cause the shill-
ing to vibrate like pendulum, and the vibra-
tons will increase until the shilling strikes the
side ofthe glass; and suppose the time of the
experiment be the hour Of seven, or half.past
seven, the pendulum will strike the glass seven
times, and then lose its momentum and return
to the centre; if you hold the thread sufficient
length Of time the effect will be repeated; but
not until sufficient space of time has elapsed
to convince you the experiment is complete
We need not add that the thread must be held
with steady hand: otherwise the vibrating
motion would be counteracted. At whatever
hour OF the day OR night the experiment is made
the coincidence will be the same.
