Love will Danish Care.

A tired woman hushed to sleep her babe.
Beauty once made her face radiant, per-
haps, but all that beauty is gone now
The blue eve is dim and faded-the pale
brow is covered with lines of care Per
haps, with that Mr-of look of hers, she
sees three little graves, green with as
many summers
Her home is very humble All day she
had toiled, and the fainting spirit almost
surrenders to fatigue--the downcast eyes
trembling with tears-she is so weary.
And every nerve tingles when these boys
come hungry from school--some with a
tale of sorrow, that mother must hear.
And after they are hushed with kisses
or chidings, it is time to get supper for
seven hungry mouths, and the accustomed
never.endings of putting away and clear
ing up, till the wCrn.out creature wonders,
with sigh, if there really will come rest
to her-an eternal rest.
At last she can seat her wearied limbs
in the old corner rocking chair
The babe, whose eyes close fitfu!ly to
the low lullaby, lies in its fathers lap
He is a plain man, that good father,
with an honest face and great heart, that
would take in all the care and sorrow of
the household.
The babe sleeps. With rude gentle
ness he lays it upon its mothers bosom,
and as the ruddy freight plays over her
careworn features, he looks upon her with
eyes suddenly grown lustrous and beauti-
full, He lifts his great hand softly, till it
rests on her shoulders, as he says
~ love you, dear Maryp
How tae poor heart leaps into love,
light and rest. How vanish the cares
that trod upon her weary soul She no
more remembers the toilsome washing.
She reflects not now that the pretty babe
with flushed cheeks against her breast has
worn her patience treadbare with its con-
slant tears and unrest. She forgets that
the fire would smoke, the broth burn, that
the children leased her, that the line broke
and that every limb in her frame ached
with fatigue.
What were those in comparison with the
steadfast love that had burned for eighteen
years, in the sunlight of happiness, through
the clouds of despair, when beauty made
her winning, and when her charms of love-
illness had gone and freshness of youth de-
parted forevers What cared she for aught
outside her home, though she had many
SORROWS, while such words thrilled her
whole being:
II love you, dear Mary"

December, at the latter date covering the ground
to an average depth of two inches. The 24th Of
December was the coolest day Of the year, the
thermometer marking 1872 Thursday, the 10th
of July, was the hottest day, the thermometer in,
dicating 1922. The summer was the most regular,
ly warm of any that we have had for number Of
years and the winter has been as regularly cold
up to this time.
During the year there fell fraction less thar

BANKRUPTCY SALES.

On Friday and Saturday last, Messrs Thomson
and Jeferys, Assignees in Bankruptcy, sold at
the Court House, in Yorkville, considerable
quantity of real and personal property belonging
to the estates Of sundry Bankrupts.
The real estate was sold at prices which give no
indication of real values, as some parcels were bid
off as much above the value as others were below.
For instance, tract of land, belonging to the es-
tate of James Blair, containing nine acres, situated
more than ten miles from Yorkville, and which
we are informed is unimproved was sold at $4l
per acre; while tract of twenty acres, belonging
to the estate of Samuel Blair on which is situated
large residence and other Improvements, was bid
off at $50 for the tract In each case the property
alluded to was purchased by the Bankrupts.
A house and lot in Yorkville, on Main street,
belonging to the estate of DR.. Z. A. Crenshaw,
and known as his residence, was bid off by S. Ru,
fus Moore, at 1886.
A tract of land, containing l04 acres, belonging
to the estate of H. Walker Wilson, was sold fo1
$l6 per acre. The Bankrupt was the purchaser.
Connected with this case is an unusual circum.
stance, the Assignees having informed us that the
proceeds of the sale will pay all the Bankrupt's
debts in full, and leave surplus of about two hun
dred dollars
A tract of land, containing l45 acres, belonging
to the estate of James P. Aycock, was purchased
by B. T. Wheeler, at sl.SO per acre.
Fifty shares of Kings Mountain Rail Roae
stock, belonging to the estate of Dr. E. A. Cren
shaw, were purchased by S. Rufus Moore, at $40,
20 per share. Five shares of the same stock, be
longing to Samuel Blair's estate, were purchased
by J. A. Lederer, at S.. IS per share.
With few exceptions the personal property wa
bid off by the Bankrupts, or for them, at nomina
prices, there being an evident disposition on tn
part of our people not to deprive Bankrupts-
where it is believed they have scrupulously com
piled with the law-of those articles Of compare
lively little value, which may contribute to thel
comfort and assist them while beginning, as
ware. the world anew
