interfered
"Stop your clack and go and get some
more hammers, or mallets, or suthin, to
knock of the balls with" (for the snow
was damp and the horses feet "balled"
badly, eff you want to do anything"
said the old farmer; and went off with
his loaded scraper to the bank.
The hammers were needed and Clint,
disguised, tramped back to the Toulouse
to get them. To his great relief he there
found Phil, who had just arrived IN a
sleigh. -
"Phil you ought to be out here?" said
Clint.
Kermer, who was feeling dreadful shaky
and remorseful and cross, took offence at
what seemed to him Impairment dictation.
For the very reason that he was conscious
of guilty neglect of duty, he was the
more sensitive to being told SO by a boy.

can't be out there yourself, do just come
and enforce my authority. They won't
mind word say. The men and horses
all get into heap; and they II be through
the ice, sure as you live. Old Corbett
says don't know anything"
"And so you don't I" broke forth Phil,
furiously, perhaps, remembering last night
and thinking that, but for Clint, who
was there in his way, he should not have
made beast of himself, as he had done,
and lost his self-respect, and all hope of
Emma, whose scruples concerning his one
bad habit he had so quickly and SO shame
fully justified "Your authorityP" he went
on, with quite savage contempt. Ounce,
you have no authority If old Corbett is
there, it's all right?"
Clint, quite stunned by this violence,
stammered out something about hammers
Phil gave him four and told him to be
gone. The young man, white with sup
pressed anger, thrust two or three of them
one small sledge, or stone hammer,
weighing several pounds-into his over
t-pockets, and went out of the build
ing very much as he was accustomed in
his bad moods, to walk out of the house
at home. This was the last the foreman
remembered of that unfortunate transac
ton.
He felt that he had done wrong, and
tilat ne ought TO call the boy back and
speak kindly to him. "I'm brute p he
muttered, clasping one hand convulsively
to his forehead, and steadying himself
with the other, as he staggered back
against work bench
There, half sitting, half leaning, with
his head bowed and his face covered, he
remained, feeling himself still too weak
and shaky to appear among the men, and
thinking no very happy thoughts, be sure
when he was reused from his stupor by
wild cry, or rather tumult of cries. 1t

in an instant; he knew that something

of the Toulouse just in time to see a

and horses go down in the ice.

course, noticed that she did not urge him
to stay.
Clint made feeble motion to accom-

Emma rose immediately, said, "Must
you go, Mr.. Kermer ?" and stood by the
entry door, waiting for him to put on his
coat He paused as he buttoned it, and
looked down at her; she looked up at
him, her cheeks flushed, her feet
and hands like ice, her lips forcing a
smile
'Is this our goodbye" he said, in low
tone, penetrating her with an indescriba-

The Demise of the Mercury.

The Columbia correspond dent Of the New
james Wood Davldson-writes to that paper
as follows, in regard to the suspension of the
Charleston Mercury:
One Of the most significant signs OF the
tiMes, md in the main Que OF the most hope
full. ia in tue suspension OF tho Charleston
Mercury-for many years the exponent OF the
extremists in South Carolina. BY extremists
l mean those politicians who persist in apply
ing the obsolete standards Of dead past to
the questions Ola new and progressive pres
ent; those who pusE conservatism to its vicious
extreme OF staguant dogmatisn; those Bour-
bons whom no experience can teach. For
many ycars-twenty or more, believe-this
organ of now past regime has hold sway Ill
this State, and welded o large influence
throughout the South. During the war it
still survived, was still sustained, fighting
though it always was over some past issue.
Since the war it raised the same standard. and
waved it persistently, but with diminishing
power, for its cause was dying out gradually,
and its day was dying out. New thoughts
possessed our people, aud new issues arose;
but this Nestor OF an ante-penult generation
still spoke with enthusiasm OF traditions that
had well-nish passed from the memories of to-
day-this dying Sir John still s'babbed OF
green fields" The significance of this sus-
pensio,, of the Mercury is that its cause lies in
the moribund condition in which its party
new is. The hopefulness of the occurrence
lies in tho assurance that this death of ebfete
conservatism means life to tin, incoming party
OF progress and action. Our Southern people
are going 10 work-are throwing to the dogs
the theories Of the Bourbons who have ruled
public opinion for so many years with such an
iron hand. There may be danger III this new
tendency, but am recording facts, not de-
monstrating truths.

are no similar charges at Charleston.
