THE MAID BESIDE THE STREAM.

El hlD ILL ~ lttssh "
A maid reclined beside stream i-'l.' '1
AT fall Of summer day,
And half awake and half dream,
She watched the ripplcs play,
She marked the waters fall and heaye,
The deepening shadows thong,
Ard heard, MS darkrned down the eve, :
That rivers babbling song.
And thus it sung, with tinkling tongue,
That ripping shadowy river
Youths brightest day will fade away
Forever and forever"
The twilight past, the moon ut last
Rose broadly DER the night,
Each ripple CLEANS beneath her beams
AS wrought in silver bright. VIZ
The heaving waters glide along,
But mingling with their voice,
The nightingale now pours his song,
And makes the shades rejoice,
Aud thus he sung with tuneIn tongue,
That bird beside the river
"When youth is gone true love shines on
Forever and lorever!"

of the Herald included. We have stated SO dozen
times in the columns of the journal. With the dis
tincye doctrines of anybodys hierarchy, we have,
politicians, nothing TO do. But w6have to do with
the preservation of civil and religious liberty, with the
right of every to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience without mourning the
penalties of prescription persecution, or civil dsab
ity, whether brought about openly through the ope
ration of law, by secret conspiracy in an oath
bound political council. Mr.. Winslow is a Protest
ant as everybody knows who knows anything about
him. So is the Editor of this paper We assert that
the severance of religion from politics, essential
part of Professionalism and Republicanism as we un-
derstand them, and as they understood by the
Democratic party, and by the trainers of Federal
Constitution.
"Mr. Reid" says the Herald, does not believe
that kissing the Popes big toe or little Zoe is actually
essential to salvation" Who does People may
kiss anything they please, or let it alone, just as
they please, for anything MIR. Reid thinks
that Americans ought TO rule America so do We
We go clearly Cor the constitutional rule of the ma
iorty-the native born citizens eight to one
thu ghout the country. As things stand, always
have stood, and always VIII stand, they mast govern
the county In our own State the proportion is over
200 to l. Who dreams of anybody else governing
lit?
Mr.. Reid also, according to the Herald, thinks
that alien paupers and criminals should be kept al
home and not brought over here to interfere and con-
troll our elections and take the Offices" We pre-
sumo tina, nobody wants paupers and criminals
either foreign domestic. The evil will come
with the good But what does Mr.. Reid pro
pose to do in this case. Deprive foreign-born cit
zens Of political rights Would that mend the mat
ter. Paupers and criminals don't care much abou
such things. 1t would not stop them, but 1t woulc
stop those who would be really valuable to the coun
try Everybody goes for a rigid enforcement OF thu
naturalization laws, and such additional Legislation
as may be necessary to more fully guard agans
abuses. But the IA years term of probation, a
adopted under John Adams, could not be kept on thu
statute book even long as it then was. Neither
can be the split of the alien and sedtion laws OBJ
tain any permanent hold upon tie affections of fTe
and generous people.

used no such words about this canvass. We dom
deal in catch words of any kind. If, however, it b.
any consolation to the Herald, We assure it tina

1t is somewhat strange how certain violations of
general principle have crept into general use, not
only without opposition, but even with sort OF
tacit approval from the general public. An example
of this is found in the assize of Bread" thing
which has been in operation for several years in
Charleston and elsewhere, and which would appear
to be no new idea in this State, since the town ordi
nance establishing it here, passed last Thursday,
makes reference to the act of the Legislature of 1895
The following Is the assize of Bread:
When the price of Superfne Flour is from to dollars
per barrel a ten cent loaf shall weigh SO ounces
When the price is to dollars shall weigh 33 onnces

Now upon what principle there should be
size Of Bread rather than of anything else is more
than we can see Why should certain restricted
value be placed upon the manufacturing skill of the
baker rather than upon that of any body else So
far as we can see it would be just fair to say that
when crude Turpentine is much per BARREL spirits
must be sold at a certain rate per -allon, or that
when the price OF timber of certain quality is so
much, steam-mill men must sell dressed lumber at q
certain rate. Such regulation, common though it
may be, is nevertheless at variance with all the laws
of trade.
It would be perfectly fair to require that bread
should be sold in loaves of many pounds or ounces,
as the case may be, to guard the public against
imposition, as is the in many of the Northern
markets. where fresh butter is sold in pound prints,
and every print found too light is confscated but no
one pretends to say what the said pound print or

A Florida Panther story.

the following story. The incident occurred in Co.
lumbia county, Florida
One mig INT last week, at the residence of Robt Will
kinson, Esq, two young men sleeping in his p-
azza, and little before ybreak, they aroused
from their slumbers by the noise of the dogs in the
front yard. They Immediately arose from their bed,
and looked IN every direction for the cause of the
disturbance but could see nothing. Finally, one of
them. who was standing very the outer edge of
the piazza, happening to look downward discovered
large Panther standing with his fore feet upon the
piazza, and within about ten inches Of his feet-hs
partnership seeming 10 be quite Indifferent to what
was going on around him. Our friend whose feet
stood In so close proximity to his majesty's paws,
being unarmed, uttered hasty Shrek and immedi.
atey sought his double-barreI, but upon drawing
trigger at his Partnership the cap exploded without
firing the gum and the second barrel being tried, did
likewise; another double barrel being in the mean
time produced and provoking to think, both the
treacherous percussions this gun also failed his
Partnership still standing with his feet upon the nj
azza quietly witnessing the futile attempts of his af
righted assailants to take his lfe about this time
however. his ma jestY concluded to take wider sur.
vey OF the premises and descending from the piazza
he deliberately strobe about the yard for a shor
time, occasionally slapping over dog which might
| chance to obtrude little too near 10 his maestys
person, and then returned to the piazza and resumed
his former position; again cooly facing his assail
ants who, having taken advantage of the truce az
torded by his majesty's briet absence had replen
shed their gun tubes with fresh caps, and, upon his
return renewed the assault fortunately for oul
friends, their guns fred this time and his majesty
was SLAIN; he proved to be male, and one of thu
largest ever seen in these parts.
