But it is not our purpose either to assail the
course of the Times or to defend that of the

great moment and one which must and will be
agitated and acted upon, both by pledged and
unpledged men. 1t is one which effects not
only our morals, but our political and especially
our social position. 1t is one of unusual i'm
portance and as an Independent journalist We
feel bound to express our opinion. In many of
the States prohiJitory laws have already been
passed-and although in South Carolina the
question has heretofore been treated as one af-
Iecting us only morally and socially and should
not therefore, enter into the politics of the
country or such Legislative aid or interference,
yet public sentiment has changed, and politi-
clans cannot longer hope to shirk responsible.

his eyes, and being instigated by the devil,

the 2sth ult., against the peace and order of
the town, and the dignity ofthe law. He was
carried before a magistrate, who ordered him
to give bond in the sum of one thousand dol.
lars for his appearance before the Kinds Cir
cult Court for an inlraction of the statute; but
he refused to give bond, and was accordingly
lodged in jail On Monday he was brought to
Jackson on a writ of Habes Corpus, and on
the following day the case was heard before
Chief Justice Smith, of the Court of Appeals,
who held the act to be constitutional and re-
fused to discharge the prisoner but upon bail.
This decision having been made by single
member of the High Court, ON Habeas Cor
pus, does not finally settle the consttutionality
of the law, but as it was make by the very
able Chief Justice Of the Court, it is "persua-
sive evidence" of its constitutionalty.

LINES ON A LADY'S HAT.
DY ELLEN EYRE.
D, 1t cost hundred dollars,
And was just the sweetest thing;
Perched above queen Of collars,
Tied with vast eXpaase Of string.
And the fringe weighed twenty ounces
Round her mantle short, and cool:
And her silk brocaGc, with Aounces,
Filled the pew superbly full.
Dainty gloves, and kerchief broidered,
In her psalm-book kept the stops;
All the things she wore were ordered
From the first Partisan shops.
But that hundred dollar bonnet
That's the gem wished to paint:
Such a shower Of things were on it,
Qnite enough to craze saint.
O, could not hear word of
What the pious pastor said,
For the shapes and shines unheard of
That were floating round her head.
Bands and plumes, andaowcrs and laces,
Fancics more than you could name;
And they say Miss Dorsey's cases
Boast dozen just the same.
How I wonder who will wear them;
If the pastor seeks to teach
By his texts, he we'll may spare them
'Tis the milliners that preach.
All our eyes such sights are drinking,
Counting DER their cost anew;
And we break the Sabbath, thinking,
What if we could wear them too.

BY JAMES W. DALE.

Every mortal has his mission
In this world of active strife,
Whether in high position
Or lowly walk of life.
He it is, who now fulfilling
Every duty day by day,
Shows the mind and spirit willing
To perform its onward way.
I.ife's a bark upon the ocean,
Tossed and rocked by every gale;
Now scuds on with speedy motion,
Now with rent ana tattered sail.
Life's q bright SID sunny morning,
With some light refreshing showers
Followed by dark cloudy warning
OF the storm that Ger us lowers.
Lies the chord of silver binding
Man in contact with bis kind,
Death is but that bond unwindinr,
Setting free the earth bound mind,
Life's the pitcher at the fountain
Whence immortal rills descend;
fTis Ehe fragile wheel surmounting-
Cistesn where pure waters blend.
,Life's the day for deed and action;
Deaths the rest-the time of night;
He who works with satisfaction
Works while yet the hour is light.
Forward, then! the day is waning,
Westward sinks the setting sun;
Onward on! without complaining,
Work while yet it may be done.

He never appears in public except in full

He has one coat, made in Paris, which

swords, the handles of which are richly
jeweled. He has seven stars composed Of
diamonds, which he wears on great occa-
