Obituary..

ROBERT CAMPBELL GORDON
died at the residence of his mother
Mrs. Jane Gordon, on Thursday, the
l4th of August, 1873, aged 8 years,
month and % days. ..s
At noon, little Robert seemed as
well as usual, yet before the setting
of the sun, he was q corpse. Sudden
| Iy, indeed, was be stricken down by
conhestlve chill. s.
For one Of his tender age, Robert
was remarkable child. His intel.
Iect was bright and clear, and his
heart was devotedly affectionate to his
mother and the various mbers Of
his family.
Though q mere child, he was of
quite a religious turn of mind. He
had great regard for the: Sabbath,
and would often ask what was right
to do on the Sabbath. He was very
fond of going to church. A short
time before his death. on funeral
occasion, he remarked to a young
man that it was his duty to attend
that all should attend burials, as all
mustdie. He was most stpunctual in his
childish dcvotions. The night before
his death he camo to his mother to
hear his prayers. ...... .'
"Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not: for Of such
is the kingdom Of heaven"
There is a Reaper whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen -. .....,.
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall have naught that is fair ?n saith
he; a-.
"Have naught but the bearded grain
Tho the breath of these flowers is sweet
to me,
Twill give them all back again."
He gazed at the flowers with fearful
eyes, .n. .,- & ...
He kissed their dropping leaves;
II was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
my Lord has need of these howerets
gay" a--
The Reaper. said, and smiled; ...
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once child.
"They shall all bloom in the fields of
light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their bpsoms white
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love:
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields oflight above. ... ...
0, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away. ,.....

THE MORTON, BLISS & co. CASE.
1t being considered a settled fac
that the General Assembly vii
convene in extra session about tn
Goth of October next, princlpal'.
for the purpose Of making tlmei,
preparation for the next tax levy
it is generally believed that no cecl
sion in the Morton, Bliss 4 90
bond suit Will be given before thai
time. Shortly after the arguments
in the case were concluded, it was
agreed upon by the Justices OF the
Supreme Court that each should
write out his views of the case, and
that at some subsequent day they
should meet and compare the same
Ttis may account for the return, SO
early in the summer, OF Justice
Wright; from his usual tour IN the
Susquehauna valley, Pennsylvania.
Thursday last was the day agreed
upon to make the comparison above
alluded to, but no amonnt OF ques-
tiouing can produce any satisfactory
conclusion as to what either one OF
the Justices thought OF the views
of the other; the matter, therefore,
is as much a puzzle to the people
as ever, except the slightest kind OF
limiting at the postponement above
referred to. II the Legislature does
meet in extra session, they will
probably sotie the affair down that
there will be little danger OF an III
creased-tax upon This account.

CROPS AND BUSINESS PROSPECTS.


From all sections Of the country
moro hopeful crop reports have. this
week, been, received, especially Of the
grain yield. Trade here has been
fiat for a long time, the great and
continued depression in the money
market more OF. less has cloggcd the
wheels Of every enterprise, and all
classes have experienced its effects.
The cheering words Of "better times
coming" have kept the business com
munity ont of the Slough Of Dc
spond," "and it is quite sure that BY
the end of this present month onr
merchants, will, have smoothed the
wrinkles Of caro- from their faces.
The folds of State paper, or claims of
any sort against the treasury, will
have worn much more than now be-
fore they are paid. We hear Of some
being negotiated at an unreasonable
sacrifice by the irreprcssiblo BeIia:
min Byas, tor the purpose of coming
again into the General Assembly as
Senator from Orangeburg. How true
the report is that be did succeed in
selling his claims cannot be said, any
more than it can be told what mystic
rous channel he found to ''sail in
while other, craft are floating about
over ballastcd with them. "Suffi lent
unto the day is the evil thereof" and
the. people of the State have cause OF
congrat ulation that they have not got
to pay taxes because of his conceitce
and prolonged legislative gibberish.
