For the Edgc6eld Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR: The following beautiful allegory
I find in a number of the " Southern and Wes-
tern Literary Messenger and Rerie''" for June
1916, and believing it worthy Of republication,
I take the liberty of sending it to you, hoping
that should you think it worthy, you may give
the readers of the advertiser the benefit of a
perusal.
The moral is decidedly good. 1t shows how
prone mankind are to seek after novelty; when
found how inadequate to satisfy; how unstable,
inconstant and ever-changing are all human
affections; how principle and honor, which
alone ennoble man and elevate him beyond the
level of the inferior species Of creation, are sac
rifced to glut the unholy desires springing from
perverted and concepted nature, the deplora-
BILE consequences of which are destruction Of
virtue and innocence, and utter extinction OF
happiness, and blasting of hopes.
Excuse me for troubling you, and use your
own good pleasure in reference to the piece.
Yours, Very Respectfully,
G. G.. X.

"s,ill it is perseveringly intimated that we are
upon the verge Of a vortex, in which we may soon
be swallowed up with all that we hold dear; and
the place among nations which knew us once, is to
know us no more forever. What and where is this
vortex? Is to be found in Black Republieansm 2
The South knows tha. enemy well, and, with that
knowledge, feels secure Of her ability to vanquish
its endeavors for evil. Is it to be found in the
powers that be9' They are all for US. Is it in
Southern dissensons2 We we're never more united.
Is it in Southern concession The South stands
firm upon the Georgia platform Of 1882 Is it in
Congressional oppressionf We have gained the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, more explicit
recognition Of our rights rs to fugitive slaves, some
lesseninp Of the burden OF tariff exaetons-and we
may without infhtuation expect yet greater justice
in the future. Or is it in the crushing pressure of
an outside civilizations Letit suffice to say that our
labor clothes the world. Where, then, we ask
again, and what, is this yortex'"

THE BUTTERFLY And THE FLOWER.

"True love- still born of heaven blessd with wings,
And, tired of earth, it plumes them back again,
And so We lose it."
Deep in the bosom OF a southern forest, there
grew a beautiful flower, the sweetest flower in
that lonely region. Its leaves were Of the purest
white, for the first time unfolding to the world
around them, and revealing, as they did so, the
fine and delicate droppings Of violet and purple,
which before, like so much hidden wealth, mad
lain within its bosom. Its odor was fresh and
exquisite, and no flower in all that forest could
come near it for sweetness, Or for beauty. In
excellence, and in condition, it was equally
alone.
