Hide-and-GO-Seek.

BY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS.
Happiness has found me out
Found me out at last
Oh, she's lodged me round about;
All my hurTying life she's chased me,
Almost touched me, all but fased me-
Here she is at last
Wary, were you, Happiness
Patient to the last
From your thankless business
Laggard Time has come to free you.
Always driven by Fate to flee you,
Never did | think to see you
Track me down at last

DIR. ScHENCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.
The atandard remedies for all diseases
OF the lungs are SoHENcK's Pu1MoN1c
SYRUP. SCHENcK's 8 SEA WEED TONIC and
ScHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS.; and, if
taken before the lungs are destroyed, q
speedy cure is effected. To these three
medicines, DR.. J. II. Schenck, OF Phila-
delphia. owes his nnrivaled success in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pnlmonio Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoration; for when
the phiegm or matter is ripe, slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
10 enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenok's SEQ Weed Tonic must be
freely used, to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re.
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely. end the liver is econ relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the
food and prevents souring. It assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, 80 that the food
and the Pnlmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa.
tient will surely get we'll, if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck.
either personally or by letter, can do go
at his principal Office, corner OF Sixth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday. Schenck's medicines are sold
by all druggists throughout the ountry.

SINGULAR CoINCIDENCE-ltis Is some.
what curious that the lost steamers Villa
du Havro and L'Ameriq1e wore
formerly named Napoleon III and Eu.
genie. Now, whether this change OF
name had anything to do with their
going to the bottom, we decline to say
but sailors are very suporstitious and
rarely like to serve on ships that havo
"swapped their baptismal appellations. f"
The real cause of disaster to the French
steamers was no doubt reconstruction.
They were much lengthened, to insure
great speed, and correspondingIy weak.
ened in other essential particulars. Re.
construction is bad thing in these
days It has come very near swapping
the South and has effoctually swamped
three fine French steamers.

The Burning or the Body or Henry
Laurens-Hls Motives In Having ie
Done.
We copy in another place an interest
ing article from tho New York World,
upon the circumstance OF the burning
OF the body Of Henry Laurcns, of this
State, directed by him in his will, in
preference to ordinary burial. There
are, however. several mistakes and mis-
statements of tho facts. These we are
enabled to correct. from reference to a
small volume of memoirs of the life OF
his daughter, Martha Leurcns Ramsay,
containing extracts from her diary,
letters, &C., edited after her death by
her husband, DR.. David Ramsay, and
published in London, in 1915. In let.
ter to DR.. Ramsay, who was then IN Co.
lunlbia, bearing date Of Dccember II,
1902, she describes her visit to her
father at Mepkin, (his plantation near
Charleston.) his last illness and death.
Il know she says. ''by information,
that the awful ceremony was performed
last Tuesday" In "a note, DR.. Ramsay
explains this to refer to the burning of
the body OF Mr.. Luurens, which his
daughter we'll knew had loug been re-
solved upon, and which she had also re-
solved not to witness, and, therefore,
left soon after the body was decently
laid out. and before the funeral pyre
was constructed. DIR. Ramsay adds:
"Filial duty constrafhs the editor to
observe that this transaction has been
grossly misrepresented by American
authors, who ought to have known bet
ter. The Rev. Biographer of Washing
ton goes out of his way to mention
that. when Henry LaureDe, President of
the hrst Congress, came to die, he snid,
Ely flesh is too good for worms-I give
it to the flames. In Kingston's new
American Geographic Dictionary, print
ed at Baltimore, in 1910, it is asserted
that Henry Laurens directed his son to
burn his body on the third day, as the
sole condition OF inheriting an estate Of
ego, ,OOO.' Both these statements are
incorrect. There was no forfeiture. nor
any penalty whatever, annexed to the
n-performance of the will Of Henry
Laurens, relative to the burning of his
body. It was simply enjoned as a
duty. The motives to his determination,
for having his body burnt, are also mis-
stated. Mr.. Laurens often spoke of his
prefcrring the incineration of the dead
to their inhumation. His reasons were,
q belief that several persons were buried
before they were irrecovcrably dead.
This opinion was. perhaps, strongly i'm
pressed on his mind from what hap
pened to his own daughter, the subject
Of these memoirs, as related in the be.
inning Of this work. He dreaded, as
l infinitely worse than certain death, the
possibility Of life returning to him when
sh ut up in box in the COLI ground. so
far below it's surface as to bu out Of the
req ch of human help. He also, oon-
8 sistently with Scripture, entertained
high ideas of the purifying nature OF
fire. as separating all dross and defile-
m ent from the substances to Which it

ANOTHER MIsTAKE.-The memorial of

winds up with this sentence:
1.-The memorialists cIaim to be indif-
ferent to politics, but beg for an honest
State Government"
Men who are indifferent to politics.
generally get robbed by bad men who
make politics q trade. Lukewarmness
is worse than infidelity, aud these mer-
chants will 80 discover, if they do not
wake up and go to work for white
mans government.
[Augusta ConstitMionalist
The Board of Trade and the business
men who signed the memorial, sent it
on as the expression OF men engaged in
business. Its object was to show the
injury inflicted upon all legitimate basi-
ness Interests by the sort OF government
which rules South Carolina SO COM
manding has become the necessity for
reform here. that it absorbs all other
questions. The luxury Of having poll
tics is one which business men have to
forego. At the same time, our mer-
chants have their convictions as we'll as
others. They mean to say that they are
not partisans. They limit their active
exertions to neutral line, but they are
not lukewarm.
