Editorial Notes.

we SEE THAT Y. j. =. OWENS,
tho alphcbctic Senator from Laurens,
has introduced Il bill in tho Senate to
repeal tho charter Of the State Auxili-
ary Joint Stock Company. This is a
strange proceeding, and is doubtless
actuatcd by como grave motive. We
have it from good authority that the
officers of tho Society at the lato Fair
refused to give complimentary tickets
to tho members of tho Legislature
and their attaches. These honorable
gentlemen were probably insulted
because thcy were not dcal~hcadod,
and propose to sootho their breasts
by rcpuaiating tho chartor of the
society. There may be othor reasons,
and for tho credit Of the Legislature,
we hopo thoro arc; but wo know of
mono other.
TIE COLUMBIA ConnEsroNDENT Of

makes no difference to him whcthc or

No lesson of the past is clearer than that
Nations have prospered in proportion as
they have been pure and ylrtuous. When
vice and corruption have become preva-
lent, enervation and decay appear among
the people, and paralysis fastens upon the
Government. 1t is equally apparent that
purity rests, for an enduring foundation,
upon religion. The fear OF God is the be-
ginning CT wisdom. The strouc st incen-
lives TO an active and useful life are felt in
the minds of those who believe in an al
mighty, all. wise and al-holy God, and
who strive 10 do bis will. Such a people
too He will bless, even as Il is written, ain
all our ways acknowledge T. IN, and he
shall direct thy paths" Tue pious custom
of our fathers TO recognize at ibis season Of
the year, the God Of Nature, Providence and
Grace, by day of prayer, is eminenuy
worthy OF perpetuation.
do, therefore. hereby appoint FRIDAY,
THE ELEVENTH DAY OF APRIL NEXT, to be
observed by tue people of this State as a
day of F'dstinJ, Humiliation and prdl eT.
And I do most earnestly request that the
people will rest on that day from their
u>ua labors, assemble the selves together
in their several places Of worship, and
there devoutly 'cknowled their depend

us confess our sins and inplore pardon
through our Lord Jesus Christ Let US
seek His counsel in all our affairs. Let
US invoke His blessing upon our labors in
the fed, factory, Office and store house.
Let us endeavor to learn bow 10 do Justly.

II Is pleasant to think, jus, under the snow,
That stretches so bleak and blank and cold,
Are beauty and warmth that cannot know,
Green helds and leaves, and blossoms Of gold
Yes, under the frozen and dumb expanse,
Ungaddencd by bee or bird or flower.
world where the leapiug fountains glance,
And the buds expand, is waiting its hour
II is hidden now; not glmmer breaks
Through the hard blue ice and the sparkling drift
The world shrinks back from the downy fakes
Which out Of the folds Of the night cloud sift.
But as fair and real world II IL
As any that rolls in the upper blue;
If you wait you will hear its melodies,
And seo the sparkle Of fount aud dew.
And often now, when the skies are Wild
And hoarse and sullen the night winds blow
And lanes and hollows with drifts piled,
think of the vlolets under the snow
look In the wild flowers tremuous eye
hear the chirp Of the ground bird brown
A breath from the budding grove steals by,
And the swallows dipping above the town.
So there, from the outer sense concealed
IT lies shut in by a veil Of snow,
But there, to the inward eye revealed,
Are boughs that blossom, and flowers that glow.
The lily shines on its bending stem;
The crocus opens its April gold;
And the uptosses its diadem
Against the floor of the winter oold.
And that other world. to my soul say,
That veiled and mystic world of the dead,
1s no further away on any day
Than the lilies just under the snow we tread.

A MORMON FUNERAL.-Mrs.S Slenhouse,
In her lecture on Mormon life, told the
funny story of Sister Picknel's funeral.
The following was Bishop Hardys sermon:
"Wal, brethrun and sisters, you are all here,

Is dead ;-let her rest. Our sister has suffered
and made others suffer, but now she's dead.
Well let her rest. She opened the door to

not take care, and now thoy've done 1t. She
was torment to her husband, and guess
ifhe'd know'd that she'd bin such tor
ment he'd never married her. Amt that so,
Brother Pick nell ?" "That's so, Bishop"
"Wal, Brother Plcknel, have you got
thing to say p "Not as I knoN'd on,

MATRIMONIAL INCoMPATIBILITY.-T
Rev. DR.. Peabody, in late essay, touches
upon this delicate subject after the follow
ing fashion:
The truth is that the greater proportion
of the so-called incompatibilities and un-
congenialties Of domestic life, which are
so often made the ground for the dsrup-
ton of the matrimonial bond, are inadmis-
sible as justiiying ground for any such
dissolution. and could be readily overcome
and blotted out of existence If the parties
most concerned had only the will TO do it.
A couple are no sooner married than thev
hnd that differences of opinion and mutual
jars ensue, and all Is not gold that glsten-
ed; and then one or both straightway i'm
agine that there is no remedy but IN ruth
lessly breaking the solemn, sacred tie that
binds them. A vague, restless feeling
seizes upon one or both, producing discon-
tent, engendering certain thought of pres
ent bondage which exists only in fancy,
and creating feverish'de for.other as
sociatons and spheres which are supposed
to be more fitted and providentially de-
signed for the mind and heart.
No escape, II is said, but in cutting the
knot. 1t is delusion. The marriage re-
lation, in all its history, was never expect
ed perhaps, to be entirely free from mis-
understandings and dis.ords. Foolish TO
think that the whole mutual life can flow
on like the early stream, without a ripple
or eddy. Home is a school, a discipline,
whereby husband and wife are TO grow in
to each other, getting rid of their angulari-
ties, harmonizing their peculiar character
istics, and more and more becoming one in
thought, sympathy and life. Tie true
blessedness of welded souls is not insured
by simple exchange of plighted faith. 1t
comes through and after many self-denial,
many crucihxion Of the will, many a
scourging of the resentment, anger, pride,
vanity and passions OF the heart. 1t Is
true here as in other relations, that who
saveth his life shall lose 1t, and he that los
eth his life shall save 1t.

Referring to the Beecher scandal the Springfield Republican says: It is time,. however, for ignoring or Investigating the whole business. This scandal has run on in loose way long enough. If the Plymouth church are ready to over haul it and pronounce verdict they should do it. If not, the thing should stop. Most likely Mr. Beecher has been guilty of some imp1oprieties, possibly of an exceptional sin; but the public should and will remember, in extenuation, the great temptations of both his temperament and his position, and the towering bal ance of his virtue and his public service If only those who are without sln, or only those who have contributed more to the moral and intellectual elevation of their fellow men, throw stones at Beecher, he will escape without a bruise.

Times, by E. Weiss.
MATILDA DeLarcy.

On dirk and rainy evening;.in the
year 1893, man already in the decline
of life, dressed as common peasant, was
seen travelling, on narrow, bushy road,
which joined the great road, leading to
the city of Rennes. By his side, young
girl was walking; she was wrapped in a
thick brown wooden mantle.
They advanced slowly and in pain, on
this slippery and mirery road. The old
man tottered at the cavities Of the road,
as the darkness hindered hin fro:, tread
ing FIRMLY; he was also quite uncertain
what direction of the road he should fol-
low. He stopped and sighed often, whilst
the young girl tried in vain, to support
him and quicken his pace.
"My God!" she murmered, "let us
hasten! what will become of us, if dark
ness overtakes us here7 Happily for us,
we are no farther from the farm of Es-
sarts and without doubt we will be
welcome"
"God grant it! replied the old man
despairingly, $50: | would not be able to
60 farther, let what will happen"
They continued their route, but the
farther they advanced, the more they
found it difficult. The young girl, whose
energy, to this time, had almost sustain
ed her father; did hsr best to continue
travelling, on this slippery, ,nirey, soil
while her feet sank at each footstep.
"My Godw she cried, with an emo
tion of terror, "I hear the tramp of
horses!"
In fact troop of horsemen were in
pursuit of them, and although it was
dark, their uniforms and plumes were
visible. The two travellers, by an in
stinct of nature, stood rs still as possible,
on the side of the road; the young girl,
i'll front of her father, rs it we're, to con-
ceal and protect him. One of the horse
men stopped:
''Citizensi' cried he, ~do you know
what has happened to-day at the castle
DeLarcy2"
ave! Aye" cried the young girl,
initiating the provincial dialect, and lean.
ing on the neck Of his horse, as he was
paving and splashing in the mud.
"The citizen Mayor, came to the cas-.
tie to arrest the aristocrats; the Baron
and his daughter. By my lady these
people made themselves scarce, and the
castle is pillaged. But the old traitor
did not 60 far, for he was caught and
hanged at twenty PAGES from the castle
