Heart StanZaS.

"This--all this was in the Olden
Time, long ago."---Edgar A. Poe.
have been q careless child,
Playing with the flowers wild,
Loving green and sunny hills,
Loving fresh and bounding rills,
Loving legendary story
OF each ruin, old and hoary,
Butterfly like in the garden,
Kissing flowers the green sward on
Merry with the hearts own madness,
JOYOUS with its silent gladness;
This-this was in the Olden
Time, long ago.
have in soft pensive hours
Built me sweet and rosy bowers,
PeOpling them with beings fairy.
Creatures of hearts wild vagary,
Realizing every vision,
With its own select fruitiOn;
Knowing nOught could ne'er appal me,
Whatsoever might befall me,
Happy that the wealth of spirit
Would enable me to bear it;
This was also in the Olden
Time, long ago.
Ihaveseen an eye of splendor,
Beaming with emotions tender,
have seen it watch my going,
While its silent tears were flowing;
have felt the gentle pressing,
OF a fairy hands caressing,
WOman's lovely heart revealing,
All her store of fervent feeling
All affections boarded treasure,
Giving without stint or measure;
Yet this was in the Olden
Time. long ago.
Mindless of youths joys or cheers
Der the tones Of other years,
I have nightly bent my heart,
Drank all that they could impart.
Revealed in the wisdom hOary
OF the ages gone of glory.
For all depths of human learning
Strong desire ever yearning.
Ger the lone and Silly chamber
OF the past, have been ranger;
Yet this was in the 0lden
Time, long ago.
In the nights of former times,
In the nights of sunny chimes,
Hand in hand with one whose glance
Thrilled my heart, we led the dance:
Heard words lingering in the air,
offerings of the heart that were;
Heard the music's swell reveal
What each bosom dared to feel
Felt the language of the heart,
Which cold words would but conceal,
And no vulgar lips impart;
While the starry skies above us,
Seemed to whisper they would love us;
But this was also in the olden
Time, long ago.
Now l banquet in the halls
Where memory all its spectres calls.
Meet me they do on the hills,
Murmur to me from the rills;
Each place has tale to tell,
Eloquent with its own knell;
And those olden treasured things
Rush by me on sable wings;
Speaking to my throbbing heart
All, how changed and scared thou art.
Yet this was NOT in the Olden
Time, long ago.
Der this naughty shattered brain
Slowly crawls a whitening pain;
There an earthlness has crushed
Hopes that loftiest visions touched;
There's spell whose iron chain
Bids each naughty hope restrain;
Soul is sunk, weary thing,
Wild bird with shivered wing:
But bethinking still with tears,
Twas not thus in former years;
This---this was NOT in the olden
Time, long ago.

POEMS by E. X. Washington, author OF
Echoes of Europe"
After having visited Europe, heard the
echoes and written a book thereon, mr..
Washington returns to the place of his boy
hood, revisited house in the North, IN
which portion of his youth had been spent,
and which had been shut up for five years. I"
Here he found among other mementoes ap-
pearing to him of the past, a volume OF
poems, prepared by him for the press before
the war. A further examination OF his
youthful efforts, satisfies him that his poems
are readable, and he forthwith carries out
his original design. The result is small
volume of poems, something less than twen-
ty in all, full of adolescent attiatus, but, as
the author modestly states the case, reada-
BILE notwithstanding the stamp of immature
ty. The following bears evidences of its
being one of the authors earliest poetical

A Long Struggle Closed.

At last the Paragusyan war is atan end
The allied Brazilian, Argentine and Ura-
guayan forces have captured YQuatimi, and
sent Dictator Lopez flying into bolivia. The
Orleanist Prince dEu, comman,ler-in-chief
OF the allied armies, has thus marched to Il
victory, and will soon evacuale
Paraguay and return to Montevidco. The
war row closed has been waged against
Lopez for five years, having been inaugural
ed November ii, 1864, when a Brazilian
steamer was captured as an intruder OIL the
Paraguay. Brazil was invaded by Lopez in
December. In the following April the die
tator invaded the territories OF the ArScn-
tine Republic, which Immediately made an
alliance with Brazil. Since that time the
war has been slubbornly contested on both
sides, Lopez falling back sullenly from point
to point before the superior power of the in
vader, but never without desperate fighting.
The war has been terrible drain on the al-
lies, but it has resulted almost in the de.
population OF Paraguay, and the utter ruin
Of it's material interests.

The Bono Bill.

The phosphate monopoly" bill comes up
for action in the Legislature to-day, and its
friends are confident that it will pass, chiefly
because of the opposition it has encountered
at the hands of the anti-Radcal press.
But, for once, Radical and Democrat,
scalawag and patriot, carpet-bagser and
reputable citizen, white man and black, are
united in common cause. The Radical
papers are more fierce in their denunciation
of the phosphate bill than the Democratic
journals are. A mass meeting OF dyed.in
the-wool Republicans protests against it
The private secretary OF his Excellency, Gov
ernor Scott, writes newspaper articles slash
ing the bill to pieces, and showing the vast
injury that would be done the people BY the
creation of so huge monopoly.
For the first tiaie the Radical members OF
the General Assembly have an opportunity
OF pleasing all classes and conditions OF
men. They can, by repeating the bill, make
clad the dull heart of conspiring Democrat,
elevate the head of aspiring Cuffee, give
new strength to the arm of labor, afford
room for boasting to the Radical Republi-
can. And so forth!

TIE last labor movement comes in the
shape Of legislative joint resolution, intro
duced on Saturday, providing for the ap-
pointment in every county of contract
agent, who shall supervise, approve and re-
cord all contracts between "elnploycrs and
'enployees," receiving for his pains fifty
cents from each contracting party. Each
contract shall s'receive the signature and
'sseal OF the agent, to oaltdatc ii" and ali
contracts for the year 1870, "though made,
'signed and entered upon," shall be subject
to the same rule. That is to say, that no
contract shall be binding unless made in a
certain form, and that contracts already
made shall bo void, unless they are recorded
and approved, according to law enacted
after the contracts were made. This is all
absurdity. 1t is so far outside OF the consti-
tuition, and so gross an infringement OF natu-
raj rights, that even our lawmakers will
not stomach it. We may add that the deci-
sion of the agent in cases Of disagreement
would not be binding on either party to the
contract. The agent might arbitrate and
'saward Justice" but the courts alone could
decide the case finally. -

remained so long in Charleston, that we arc
encouraged to hope that he may entertain
the idea of returning for good to this his
native State. The honorable energy and
singular ability which won for Mr. Lathers
name and fortune in the busy marts OF the
metropolis OF America, are needed now for
the service of South Carolina. Unless we
have more means, more banking capital,
our trade must languiSh, and to whom
should we look for counsel and assistance if
not to those who in their own persons, have
reflected honor on our State, and have
known no change In their k:nl!:ness and
love!

WRIGHT, the senator from Beaufort has
introduced bill into the Legislature, pro-
viding that it shall not be lawful for any per
son or persons "to issue checks, receipts, or
''scrp, to be used as money, or for the pur
''chaac Of goods, without the consent of the
General Assembly" The object is to pre-
vent employers from giving due-bills instead
OF money to their laborers; but in its present
shape this tremendous bill would put stop
to our mercantile business, close all the
banks, and prevent FL. H. Kimpton from
drawing more drafts upon tho Treasury OF
the State Will not Senator Hri, 1t have
mercy and amend his little bill! Perhaps
he would also introduce proviso that,
when planter has ~uot the ready money
with which to pay his laborers, and dare
not give due-bill or check, he shall be
permitted to draw the necessary amount in
coin from tho Financial Agent Of the State.
