RIPE WHEAT.


We bent to-day DER coliine1 form .
Aud our tears fell softly DOWN
We looked our last on the aged face,
With its look of peace, its patient grace,
Aud hair live n silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-cold hands,
From Iifp's long labor at rest
Aud among the blossoms white and sweet,
We noted y bunch of golden wheat
Clasped close to the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom,
OF n land where fall no tears, ..ff .s
The ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer,
The garnered good of the years A. i.,i ifl .
We knew not what work her hands had found,
What,ruggtd places her feet -; ,..tt.5. /
What cross-was hers, what blaCkness of night !;
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white, :,
And the bunch OF Iipened wheat. NJ l.e
As each goes up from the field of earth, 2,
Bearing the treasures of life, --..t Itf
GoD looks for some gathered grain of good
From the ripe harvest that shining stood,
But waiting The Teapers knife. .-fUt
Then labor wen, that in death youg l,r
Notonly with blossoms sweet,--Hstl
Not bent with doubt, and burdened with fears
And dead dry husks of the wasted years.
But laden with golden wheat. ..aafs .u.f
There have beenmore pretentious poems
In Hemol7aBt, but none that more beautl-
fully and briefly summed up The Mortality
and the Hope, than does this sum it up
We asked the author once how it came to
be written, as this was the substance of
her reply: "When telling me of the death
of a mutual acquaintance lady of lovely
character, whose years had numbered four
score-a friend said: Among the white
flowers in her coffin was bunch of ripe
wheat, and thought il most beautiful and
appropriated ] penned the lines day or
two after" 1t is thus that from the sim
plest incident or thought Of to-day popu-
lar poem springs, to be read and re-read. by
thousands, on the many coming morrows.

), TIE NEED OF Reform.
From he BarnHe,. Seniinel.l |

II ever a government, in all its branches,
legislative, executive. Judicial. State and mu-
nicipal, needed reform, it is this Government
of the United States. 1t is manifest nothing
can save the country from ruin and further
disgrace but Reform, general and complete.
This being the case. and some difference
of opinion existing in the minds OF Sood
men, as to the name OF the party to effect
this reform, many good, honest Repuoli-
caas feeling its necessity as sensibly as do
the best State Rights Democrats, but @ho
are reluctant to leave the party With which
they have been acting. and range them
selves under the banner OF the opposing
party, and, above all, the colored element %
the South, having deep-seated belief that the
Republican party achieved their emancipation,
while the Democrats opposed it, why not
sink all party names, and running up rev
party banner with the name Of Constitutional
Reform Party inscribed on it. invite ali honest
men who desire constitutional government TO
range themselves under Its folds This would
at once open the door 10 every honest voter
and sincere patriot i2 the land. Amnesty,
civil service, tariff, revenue reform, eco
nomical and honest administration, here Is
a vast field in which to work, and 1t does
seem to US, with the inspirit.ng cry Of Re-
form, the good, true, honest and patriotic OF
all parties, all classes, all races will unite IN
one grand effort to bring the country back TO
constitutional rule. This taint OF corruption
Is not confined to the Radical party. Corrup-
ton taints both parties, and all ranks OF socie-
ty; it is seen and felt socially as well as politi-
cally. At least, let us in South Carolina, for
the title being, set ourselves diligently TO the
work of State reform, and earnestly invite all
good men Of whatever party, whether white
or black, to help US in the yirtuous effort.

WASHINGTON, Septem

WASHINGTON, September 26.
The sub-ku.Klu1 committee, having special
ly in charge the finances OF the South, will act
separately. Senator Pool remains h5re, Re-
and Beek.goes to Lexington. Mr.. Beck urges
That State, county and municipal officers send
to him at Lexington authenticated statements
OF their debts and taxes, and the incidental
circumstances connected with the accumua-
ton OF debt and increase Of taxation. hr.
Beck expects and hopes that every officer
having charge OF State, County or municipal
finances will take the trouble to report TO
him, and in cases where reports may be with
held, or partial, on account Of the partisan
character OF t g officials, he urges prominent
citizens to send him statements authenticated
beyond question. These statements, 1t is de-
sired. shall be tair, and consist mainly OF fg-
ures without any partisan statement. The
commit .e will reassemble here on November
lst TO make consolidated report.

1t will be welcome news to many Ameri.
cans to whom Paris, with 1t monuments end
associations of former days, has become dear,
grieyed at the supposed destruction OF the
Vendome column, to learn that N. Charles
Garnler, the architect Of the new. Opera
House, estimates the cost of It's complete res
toration, exactly as 1t stood before, at not
more than 100000 francs, or about .$52. 900;
1t seems that only ten Of the two hundred and
seventy.four bronze plates which made up the
exterior of the column, have been injured,
and these require but comparatively slight re-
pairs. A few bars of the balustrade and some
pieces of the capital nave disappeared, but can
readily be replaced. n. GARNER warmly and
sensibly advises that the statue OF Napoleon
should be re-erected on the top of the column;
otherwise, the whole monument Is an historl-
cal and architectural absurdity.
