Whilst the Bourbons and New De
parture men, in the South, have
been wasting time, paper and elO-
quence, in idle controversy, the Rad
icals, of the North, encouraged by
the schism, have worked diligently
and successfully, 10 strengthen their
party. 1t is clear that the Admins
tration will spend the last dollar. of
the peoples money TO ensure its sue
cess, and so long as the North re-
mains corrupt and venal-nothing is
easier thanto buy up majority. This
curse the South cannot remove, and
therefore, is powerless to save the
Government from overthrow and
the country, from financial and pO-
litical ruin. The North must save
itself, or all is Chronicle.

" Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
THE WIND AND THE DAY.

The wind and the day had lived together,
They died together, and far away
Spoke farewell in the sultry weather,
Out or the sunset, over the heather,
The dying wind and the dying day.
Far in the South, the summer leven
Flushed, fame in the gay soft air;
We seemed to look on the hills Of heaven;
You saw within, but to me twas given
To see your face, as an angels there.
Never again, ah, surely never,
Shall we wait and watch where OF old We
stood,
The low good night of the hill and the river
The faint light fade, and the wan stars
quiver,
Twain grown one in the solitude.

y clergyman passing a boy weep
ing bitterly, halted and asked,
''What is the matter, my little fell
low?" The boy replied, Before,
we could hardly get enough to eat
of anything, and now what shall we
do? for there's another one" ''Hush
thy mourning, and wipe off those
tears" said the clergyman, 'and re-
member that He never sends mouths
without he sends victuals to put in
TO them" ''Iknow that" said the
boy, but then he sends all the mouths
TO our house, anG all the victuals TO

Two MAsTERs.-Nou cannot serve
two masters. You mHSt serve one
or the other. Ii your work is first
with YOU and your fee second, work
is your master, and the Lord of
work, who is God. But if your fee
IS first with you and your work sec
ond, fee Is yOur master, and the
lord Of fee, who is the devil. and
not only the devil, but the lowest of
devils, ''the least erected tiend that
fell" So there you have il in brief
terms, work first you are Gods SER
wants, fee first you are the tiemd's.-
And it makes q difference. now and
ever, believe me, whether YOU serve
him who has on his vesture and
thigh written 9 King of kings" and
whose service is perfect freedom. or
him on whose yesture and thigh the
name is written Slave of slaves. :"
and whose service is perfect slavery.

OBITUARY.

DIED, on the Sth of November last, in
-Graniteville, Mr.. ALBERT TURNER,
son Of Mr.. ALBERT G. and Mrs. AMANDA
TURNER in the 21st year of his age.
He came to his death from the effects
of wound received from some unknown
hand, on Friday night before, who sought
the darkness OF night to accomplish their
evil deed. But, as usual, the tallest tree
receives the lightning's stroke. so with
our lamcntcd one. In his removal a
great and good man has fallen; great be
cause good; All ailectionate husband, son
and brother; support and joy to a
widowed mother; an exemplary citizen,
and above all, devoted Christian, and
all honorcd and successful superlntcn-
dent Of the Sabbath School. Having
obeyed The Divine call to remember his
Creator in the days of his youth, he was
not found unprcparcd, saying repeated
ly that it was the will of God, and he
was ready,
But it is needless 10 sum up his Chris
tian virtues, for his life is a living cpistlc
Known and read of all who knew him
and though he is dead, i. yet spcaketh,
and will continue to speak to tllcm who
was acquainted with his Cody life. He
was tranquil and submissive, hearing
his ailliction with Christian fortitude to
the last moment, speaking not one word
ii revenge toward the ASSASSINATION, but
on the contrary said, he did not want
him punished; that he was willing to
lie that the other might be spared to re-
pent and be saved.
In his death our community has lost q
model citizen, the Church q bright light,
and his bcrcavcd family 81 great stay,
which cannot easily be repaired; but we
would bow with submission to him who
tloeth all things right.
We tender our sincere coincidence to
the bereaved widow, mother, brothers
and sisters, and numerous relations in
their great loss. Weep not, dear ones,
for thy brother shall live again.
