WINTER.GREEN.
by MARI E. BRA DLEY.

The frost has melted from the pane,
For rime is not in reason
When flowers begin to bloom again,
And the clear shining after rain
FOretells an April season.
I know how white the snow-drifts lie
Against tho hawthorn hedges;
And do not venture to deny
That icicies hang high and dry
Along the acknowledges.
But some have found tho flower of life
A delicate May-comer;
Some find the winters Storm and strife
With moro OF blooming sweetness rife
Than any hour OF summon.
And let mo tell you why to-day
Tho frost leaves no impression;
And why when all the world is gray,
hold, so confidently gay.
The sunshine in possession.
An hour ago this very room,
That now you find SO CHEEKY,
Was dull and darksome as tomb
Whereon the flowers have ceased to bloom,
And was just as dreary.
But while, with secret sense of shame,
Yet secret sense of yearning,
breAthed rare1y-uttered nan1e-
Behold a letter to me ca1ne
With news of his returning!
Then all the wintry world grow bright
With summer warmth and shining,
And G GyeEy s9ud that DAY Or night
Revealed n silver lining.
For long ago, o long ago,
No need now to remember,
IfApril violets were in blow
Or if the fields were wrapt in snow
OF dreary, cold December,-
My love was proud, my love and
Were proud and tender-henrtcG
We passed each other coldly by,
Nor over told tho reason why
SO foolishly we parted
We won't our weary ways alone.
He sailed the wide seas over;
I kept my secret for my own,
And saw the pinl>y blossoms grown
Ton Times upon the clover. =
Ten times heard tho honey bees
Among them sweotly fumming:
But never summer bee nor brceZo
Brought mo such welcome words rs those
"Your loYe is coming, coming!
Upon tho bitter, biting blast
OF january flying,
The happy message camo at last;
And so you see, my winters past.
For all the SHOWS denying.
You need not smile because the snow
Upon my hair is sprinkled:
Hearts may keep spring time still, although
The brow above, like minc, you know.
Is just II little wrinkled.
would not change with you, my sweet,
For all your April beauty;
Nor give, for all the hearts that meet
To offer at your pretty feet
Their undivided duty,
Tho one that unforgetting went
The ono whose browning love has lent
"The winter OF it's discomfort"
Its flush of summer weather.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

a word of advice to our cOlOrcd peO-
pie. The mass ofthem are old residents,
who are we'll acquainted with the
white people, and have as q general
thing got along with them in a smooth,
peaceabIe and friendly manner. They
know, or ought to know, that the said
white people entertain none other than
the most kind and friendly feelings for
them-that they have no desire to take
away any Of their rights as citizens.
1t is to the interest Of both races that
this friendly feeling should be kept up.
The fact that the white people are en-
gagged in resisting the Kellogg govern
ment, should cause no difference be-
tween the races. It is q matter that
ougl1tto be approved ofinstead Of being
opposed by the colored people, but if
they will not assist them in Kidding
themselves OF Kellogg, in whom they
see usurper--a man bent on plundcr-
ing and running them and the State
they should have nothing to do with
the matter. We assure them; however
that neither upon white nor black, nol
upon any branch of business can We
hope for the prosperity so much wanted
to How in this State, till we are rid o.
him and his fellow iecclics.--Fiw9

y local journal says: -Four hundred
dollars per an,tfn was the stationery
bill Of the Legislature OF South Carolina
when that body WAS composed OF some
of tho most intelligent men of the State
and nation. Sixteen tn ousanu dollars
is the stationery bill Of the same body
when it is made up of plantation
negroes and a small sprinl1ling of
carpet-baggers and a still smaller in
fusion of respectable white men. Nine
tenths of the negroes cannot write, and
yet they get their share ofthc stationery
steal, and the old white residents of
the State are burdened with unheard
taxation. The printing bill Of the State
in 1872 also amounted to 100000,
which had to be paid by taxation.

permitted to make few extracts
Writing from the Hotel de Norman
die, Paris, he says: "From here we
go to Fontain bleau. the former pal
acc of the emperor Napoleon; from
there we will 60 direct to Geneva,
Switzerland, and on to Rome and vi.
emma, and return via Zurich. y n
1t costs from 25 to 80 cents to send
a letter from here to the U. S. \ q
We climbed to the dome of the Pan
theon, $50 feet, where we could see
Paris in miniature. 1t was a grand
sight. We also went down to the
lower chambers among the tombs of
Voltaire, Rosseau, st. Genevieve,

On July 80, six days later, he
writes from the Hotel du Lac, Gene

the rest of our party, except a slight
indisposition to walk up and down
stairs, occasioned by an extraordin-
airy ascension of the sister of Mont
Blanc, the highest mountain in Eu-
rope. We were so high that we
could scarcely breathe enough of
oxygen to keep us going. We
walked over vast bodies of snow and
ice, and culled some of the most
beautiful mountain flowers. The
eagles shrieked over our heads and
the young eagles cried at our ap-
proach. The principal chain Of the
Alps aud Jura mountains seemed
hillocks at our feet. Geneva is a
fast city. Tomorrow we go on
steamboat excursion to the celebrat-
ed castle of Chilon, where Bonnie
vile was chained IL years and where
many victims were hurled down q

The Register of the 18th says a
gentleman from Northern Iowa, who
was in Des Moines yesterday, in.
forms us that the wheat crop in that
part of the State is the finest since
1861, and that the yield is
above an average. 1t stands up we'll
and ripens slowly, SO that in the pre-
sent dry weather the harvest pro.
crosses under the most favorable
auspices. Oats will only be an aver.
age crop. Corn and potatoes are
suffering somewhat, but rain within
a week and reasonable late season
will do much toward making a good
Weld of these.

Owing to the recent massacre OF
Pawnees by the Sioux, matters are
not in very satisfactory condition
between these tribes. The Pawnees
are in great grief, the warriors paint
ed black. One of the chiefs said
that the Sioux had burned Pawnee
babies on fires made of buffalo car
casses; that the Pawnees would
mourn till the full moon, and that
they will then 60 to fight the Sioux,
and nobody, not even the Govern.

gathering their friends, and say that
they can muster from 1000 to 1000

pray that they may get to work on
