~ Governor s.; of South Car
olina was a splendid lawyer, and could
talk jury out OF their seven senses.
He was famed for his success in Grim
inal cases, most always clearing his
client. He was once counsel for man
accused of horse stealing. He made a
long, eloquent, and touching speech.
The jury retired, but returned in few
moments and with tears in their eyes,
proclaimed the man not guilty. An
old acquaintance stepped up to the
prisoner and said:
"Jem, the danger is past; and now,
honor bright, didn't you steal thai
horse ?"
To which Jem replied:
Well Tom, I've all along thought
took that horse; but since I've heard

My Mother.


Thou art growing old, my mother,
And thy brow is marked with care,
All furrcwed is thine aged cheek,
Once beautiful and fair.
Thy soft brown locks are sadly changed,
Chill frosts have settled there,
And touched with many freezing kiss,
Thy gentle flowing hair.
Thou art growing old, my mother,
As catch the half drawn sigh,
Well / know that tears of sorrow
Have bedimmed thy melting eye.
But with gentle light it beameth,
Beameth on me even vet,
With a love that never changeth
Till the sun of life is set.
Thou art growing old, my mother,
Many of our household band
Have before thee, journeyed onward,
To far off ''better land %
But thy voice in tender accents,
Still is falling on my ear,
Sweetly Frightening my pathway,
Which, without thee, were so drear.
Thou art growing old, my mother,
And around thy youngest born,
Shadows gather-darkly gather
Even in life's early morn.
But the blessed Savior spareth
Thee, still to protect thy child,
While the storms of sorrow hover,
Hover DER me dark and wild.
Thou art growing old my mother.
Soon L feel that thou wilt rest
In the "land of the hereafter"
In the regions of the blest.
Who will love me, then, my mother,
When the last life-cord is riven?
Let US pray that both together
God will take us safe to Heaven.

HOW SHOULD REVENUES BE OBTAINED

Mr.. Madison, in advocacy of the adoption of the
federal constitution, said
1.-THE powers delegated by the proposed constitution
to the federal government fec and definite Those
which arc remain in the State governments are n,e
ros and indefinite The former will be exercised prnc
pally eternal objects, war; peace negotiation and
foreign commerce Nth tchic last he popcy Of raon WTR for
NE most part, dcconnocoi.'
If Mr. Madison could now revise his speech he
would strike out the words in italics and substitute
in their place the power to emit bills Of credit and
add with which last power revenues will, for the
most part be connected = that is, conceding that
Mr. Madison, like many other modern statesmen
We could name would adopt I" the most recent
policy" on the subject Of political economy, which
now seeks control the legislation Of Congress-
The democratic party have, for at least half cen
tury advocated and sustained what is called strict
ly revenue system. They denounced Mr. Hamton's
report in favor of protective tariff initiating the
scheme and they announced ootemporaneously with
its publication in 1892 not only opposition TO pro-
lection, but sustained The policy Of raising money to
carry on the government by levying duties upon inn
ports That policy has been adhered TO uniformly
ever since; and we are quite clear that the present
exigency should be regarded as no exception
to the rule As long as we keep up reye-
nuc system, it is our duty TO arrange the scale
Of duties 20 as TO obtain money enough from
