ever read dear, precious words to
her as she sat sewing and darning
for him? Not once. As he had
come homo night after night
through the years, had he been
wont to tell the little woman who
never left home to sec what was
going on in the outside world |?
No. And when by hot stove
the little flushed face had watched
his iavorite dish that it might not
burn, had it ever occurred to him
to thank her2 Never! What
had he done for her any way-in
what way had he cherished her?
Oh, a chill ran through the iron
frame as the Elan answered that
question in his heart las he ad.

ed, as well he might, and hid his
face in his hands, while the tears
trickled through his fingers, as he
thought upon the past which he
could not recall, of the suffering
woman before him who lay at
deaths door, and whom he had
refused to cherish.
IIe started lie thought he
heard MarY's voice. Yes! she
was in her right mind She knew
him-she was beckoning to him.
He leaned toward her and brush
ed the tears from his eyes. 'John,'
she whispered, "dear john" ard
that was all. Soon again she
muimured, "To-morrow will be
Sunday my work is all DONE"
Then her weak, trembling hand
sought his face and she tried to
stroke his beard, as she had done
weeks before, but her strength |
Eliled her and il fell hact nnnn

him-and the white lips twitched
and trembled. lie interpreted
the expression Of longing; he read
the cry her features uttered; it
was sorrying heart that spoke to
him, it was entreating him for a
little love. No need to beg for it
now, love had suddenly become
very plenty-no need that she
should ever hunger again. For
moment she looked at him anX-
iously; Ie was overcome with
emotion; he tried to speak, but
his throat was choked; he tried to
answer her with q smile, but he
could not control his face. and the
tears blinded his eyes 30 that he
could not see. And thus the lit
tic woman went on her long jour.
ney, unblessed with the knowl-
edgo that she was loved, appreci.
atcd, cherished-at last. She
made one more effort to reach his
face with her hand and failed;
then, still searching for comfort,
she died, whispering, "l'll 60 and
wake up baby"
Hours after, the neigLbors
found John Matthews, with his
arms around the dead form of his
wife, and he VS. kissing her
cold face again and again, and
carcssing her hands, wet with his
tears, at seems he really loved

themselves. But the grief strick-

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Three passenger cars have been received
in Charleston for the Enterprise railroad of
that city.
The residence of Dr.. A. P. Wylie, in
Chester, was damaged by fire on Saturday
of the week before last, to the amount of
three thousand dollars. The origin of the
fire is supposed to be the result of accident.
j. j. Blackwood, Esq, cashier of the
National Bank of Greenville, states that there
are number of counterfeit fifty dollar bills
in circulation in that and the surrounding
country.
- Mr.. Tilman Smith, who lives in Pickens
county, is the model farmer of the mountain
country. He has made this year, with one
horse and two hands, including himself, six
hundred bushels corn, three thousand bundles
fodder, three fve-hundred pound bales cotton,
fifty bushels sweet potatoes, twenty-one BUSH
els wheat, besides good garden.
- The Union- Herald says: "a number of
petitions are being signed generally through
out the State, asking the Legislature to pass
law similar to the "local option" statute of
Pennsylvania, leaving it to counties cities and
towns to decide whether dealers of spirit
uous drinks shall be licensed also, for a bill
to hold the vender of liquors responsible for
damage arising therefrom, as is now the law
in Illinois.

whole of it as they were to any dime received
under it. Ifany one thought it was too much,
and returned it, he (Stephens) would not cast
slur upon him for doing so.
He had discussed the moral view of the
question, and he would now proceed to discuss
its political aspect He was not going to
place value on his own services as repre-
sentative; but if he were to state what he
thought the services of a representative ought
to be worth, he would 60 far above the figure
of any law that has ever been passed. A rep.
resentative of the people ought to be man
of that mental calibre, that information, that
education, that virtue, that trustworthiness,
and all those qualities which command the
highest remuneration. He had given it as
his opinion, in the last speech he made in the
House, fourteen years ago, that if the salaries
of members of Congress were $4,000, Olsen
ators $4,000, of the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court $50, ,000 of the Associate Judges
$4,000, and of the President 100000, it
would be better for the country at large. He
held the same opinion still. He certainly
should not vote for the bill reported by the
committee. He believed that the most un.
wise action of the last Congress was the abo-
ltion of the franking privilege.

opinion in the matter of the Citizens Savings
Bank. The opinion is printed in full in the
Columbia Union-Herald, and is quite a
lengthy document. We append the conclu-
sions at which the Judge arrived:
First. That the court had Jurisdiction of
the cause.
Second. That the assets Of the bank were
legally and rightfully in its possession.
Third. That its jurisdiction was not ousted
by the proceedings in bankruptcy.
Fourth. That its order made in the premi-
ses on the 22d ultimo, has been violated.
Fifth That the next step taken in the ad-
ministration of the assets of said bank is nec-
essarily the return of said assets to the custody
of this court.
1t is now ordered that further proceedings
in this cause be continued until the 18th day
of the present month, at II o'clock, q. m, at
the Court House in Columbia, when such
other orders will be made in accordance with
the foregoing opinion as may be deemed just
and equitable
When the Court assembled on Friday morn
ing, at the hour to which it had been adjourn
ed, the Phenir says Judge Magrath, one of
the counsel for the plaintiff, "arose and stated
that he had come up from Charleston, this
morning, for the purpose ofapplying for such
orders, in the case of Watson u.s. Citizens Sa-
wings Bank, as would carry out the decree Of
his Honor in the case; but that, short time
before coming into the Court room, he had
been served with the injunction Of Judge Bry-
an, of the United States District Court; that
he and his associates yielded obedience to
said order; and he would move his Honor to
continue the case until the attorneys for plain
tiff should take such action in the matter as
would dissolve or modify said injunction.
Judge Carpenter replied that he also yielded
obedience to the order, and ordered the case
to be continued"
Judge Carpenter caused rule to be served
on the stockholders of the bank, for contempt
who are alleged to have voted in favor of 60
ing into bankruptcy, in violation of his order
of Injunction. The stockholders are repre-
sented to be Rev. VIM. E. Martin, president !;
John B. Palmer, vice-president; Wade Hamp-
ton, John P. Thomas, A. G. Haskell, Thomas
Gregg, Walter Gregg, L. W. Martin, B. H.
Rutledge and Daniel Ravenel. He had also
a rule issued to be served upon the attorneys,
McMaster & LeConte, Pope & Haskell, and
Bachman & Youmans, for contempt, to show
cause why they should not be debarred from
practicing before his court. The return to
both rules is to be made tomorrow. 1t is
thought that the matter may not be finally
adudicated short of the United States Su-
preme Court

1t is much easier to be good critic than to
be good performer. 1t is easier to point
out defects and prescribe a remedy than it is
to make either an individual or general ap-
plication of the remedy. 1t seems it would
be wise and prudent in all individuals to be
economical in all their expenses, and to make
as few risks as possible until the present ca
lamities pass over. The recuperative powers
of all sections of the United States are very
great; but these powers must be properly ap-
piled.

BURNING OF SMYRNA CHURCH.

Smyrna Church, belonging to the Associ
ate Reformed Presbyterian denomination
and which is under the pastoral charge Of
Rev. R. A. Ross, was destroyed by fire about
noon on Wednesday of last week. The
church was located about thirteen miles north
west of Yorkville, and while it was burning
the ascending smoke was plainly seen from
this place by a number of persons. The
origin of the fire is not certainly known, yet
circumstances lead to the conclusion that the
deed was committed by person Of unsound
mind who resides in the vicinity. We learn
that the congregation of the church have al
ready inaugurated a movement for replacing
the building without any unnecessary delay
In this connection it gives US pleasure to note
the fact that the authorities of Canaan
Church, located in the vicinity, and under the
control of the Methodist denomination, have
kindly rendered the use of their building tc
the Smyrna congregation until the proposed
new building is completed.
