Fun.

Oh, glourious laughter Thou
man>loving spirit, that for time
dost take the burden from the weary
back; that dost lay salye 10 the
feet, bruised and cut by the tlints
and shards; that takest blood bak~
ing melancholy by the nose and
makest it grin despite himself; that
all the sorrows Of the past, the
doubts of the future, confoundest IN
the JOY Of the present; that rakest
man truly philosophic, conqueror Of
himself and care What was talked
of as the golden chain Of Joye was
nothing but succession Of laughs,
a chromatic scale of merriment,
reaching from earth to Olympus.
1t is not true that Prometheus stole
the fire but the laughter Of the
gods, to defy our clay, and in the
abundance of our merriment, to
make US reasonable creatures. Have
you ever considered what man would
be, destitute of the enobling faculty
of laughter, Laughter is to the
face of man what synovia, ] think
anatomists call it, is to his joints: it
oils, lubricates and makes the human
countenance divine. Without it our
faces would be rigid, hyena-like;
the ipiquities Of our heart, with no
sweet antidote to work upon them,
would have made the face of the
best among us horrid husky thing,
with two sullen, hungry, cruel
lights at the top-for toreheads
would then have gone out of fashion
and cavernous hole below the
nose. Think of a babe without
laughter-as it is, its first intelli>
gence. The creature shows the
divinity of its origin and end by
smiling upon US. Yet smiles are
its first talk with the world, smiles
at first answer that it understands
And then, as worldly wisdom comes
upon the little thing, it crowns, i
chrckles, it grins, and shakes its
nurses arms, or in waggish humol
playing bopeep with the breast, /
reveals its high destiny, declares t.
him with ears to hear the heirloom
of its Immortality. Let materialist
blaspheme as gingerly and acutel..
, as they will, they must find con
fusion in laughter. Man may tax
triumph, and stand upon his broa
grins, for he looks around the world
and his innermost soul, sweet
tickled with the knowledge, tell
him that he of all creatures laugh:
Imagine, if you can, a laughing fish

SAllpnIy she Glanced nm at the

SsalAen]y she glanced up at the
mirror where she plainly ecognized
the dip of white paper she had
pinned to the frame in the morning
to remind her of dutw she must
attend to. In large pencil letters
it read: ''Make me hustle don't
forget this - This climax to her
woes startled every nerve in her
body, and when Tommie bawled
out, I'VE are roasting alive here, ;"
and Bobbie went over the head of
his rocking horse and bumped his
nose, and the rest of the students
rushed to pick him up, she could
contral her countenance no longer,
but barst forth into peals of old~
fashlned laughter, that threatened
to unEut'n the soul from the body.
The minister though he had
noted all these items, yet kept a
solemn expression, conId no more
kept ihe laugh in harness, 50 he
learned back in his chair and roared
heart ly. Bohbie stopped yelling,
and tie g CUP little Chases stared
Immensely,
Nc further explanation was
necessary. The minister arose to
depart, and taking Mrs. Chase's s
hand said: Just so, my fair
parisAioner, we brush the cobwebs
of sir from our souls, hoping the
Lord will send .he heavenly repor-
ter te interview; but those reporters
only come when sackcloth and ashes
are around US, and the briars and
thorns of life are strewn in our
pathway. When our houses are
unprepared, and not in order, We
may watch for their coming, that
they may write down in their record
our amount of patience, persever~
ance, energy and self~reliance, for
through these the true value Of a
soul is known to the Almighty"
AS his footsteps echoed in the
distance, this laughing housekeeper
arose and turned the cooling damper,
brushed up the ashes, took down
the memorandum paper, and sat
down TO tell this to The Ddnbug
Meas.

Negro congressman.

At present the African race has
seven representatives in the National
Congress. Four of these are from
South Carolina, while Mississippi,
Alabama and Florida have. each,
the felicity Of one.
South Cardinals birds are,
Robert B. Elliott, Raincy, Alonzo
G. Ransier and Cain. Elliott is a
coal black negro, 80 years old, born
in New England and educated in
Great Britain. He lives in Col~
umbia, S. c., and is lawyer. His
law partner is said to be an ultra
white Democrat, a statement that
we doubt.
A Northern correspondent thus
describes his wife:
His young wife is quadroon,
with a complexion of the creamy
hue of the Southern magnolia, just
tinted with a suggestion of the
prim roses on cheeks and lips; her
eyes are large, brown and express
siye, under their long silken lashes,
and she has the sweetest and bright
est expression and manner in the
world" )"
Rainey was Q South Carolina
slave, is Al years old; a light
mulatto, a barber by trade, we'll off,
and has large family.
Ransier is negro with French
blood in him, is middle aged, stout
Cain is the oldest negro in the
House. very black, a colored
Northern Methodist preacher, anc
an editor.
Mississippi has the younges
colored representative-Jas. Lynch
a mulato, twenty-five years old
born Louisiana slave.
Alabama's jewel is James G,
Xavier, born free, ,,of French decent
educated in Canada. He is ;

DR. SCHESCK's PULMOSIC SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
eines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded
of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing
which can be injurious TO the human cOnstitE-
ton. Other remedies, advertised as cures for
Consumption, probably contain opium, which Is
a somewhat dangerous drug i'm all cases, and If
taken freely by cOnsumptive patients, il must
do great injury; its tendency is to conine the
morbid matter in the system, which, OF course
must make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pull
monte syrup il warranted not 20 contain par
ticle of opium. II is composed OF powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver,
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
seeretions, and expel all the diseased matter
from the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenek's Pulm0nic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. are the only medicines
which operate in this way, il i obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary COnsump-
ton. Each bottle OF this invaluable medicine
Is accompanied BY full directions DIR. Sehenck

PUT NO RADICAL IN A COUNTY OF.
FICE.
Bolivar Bulletin.


Our exchanges from all parts Of the
State inform us that the people are
alive to the Importance Of thorough or.
ganization, and that in most Of the
counties where the vote is close they
are nominating candidates for the
county offices. This is as it should be,
for when you give Radical a county
Office, even IN county where they are
IN the minority, the position gives the
party prestige which cannot but work
harm to the public welfare. We have
plenty of men in the Conservative
ranks who are competent to fill the va
riOus county offices, and we ought to
select such for the positions to be filed.
If We expect to prevent the baneful in
huences of Radicalism from spreading
abroad, it is a rather poor policy for us
to place Radicals in important county
Offices. We prefer men in such places
whom we know not to be in favor of
elevating the negro to the social
staUusof the white man, or at least we
prefer those who will not attempt to
force such an outrage by law. If you
can vote for a Radical for a county
Office when a capable Conservative is
asking your suffrage, ard you are aware
that the result of such vote will be to
give prestige to the Radicals, the Con-
seryatives cannot rely upon your assist
ance, with any confidence, in their ef-
forts TO save the State from such
thieves IS are now despoiling South
Carolina and Louisiana.

begin by kicking out any who may even

GUSHING COUPLES.

What study for the disinterested to
watch the billing and cooling" of a
newly married couple when they are in
a gushing mood. How lovingly in the
street or at n funeral she hangs upon
his arm. As he gazes down into her
face, lifted appealingly to his, all
thoughts of earth and earthly things
disappearing as mist before the noon
day sun" Heaven itself becomes a
dreary place compared to their happi-
ness. They become a mutual admira-
ton society. In them the enterprising
Yankee beholds a fortune could he but
exhibit them at dIssolving views. See
how natural their hands seek out and
find each other. How lovingly he ad-
ministers ''love-taPs' to the No. 8 hand
resting so cozily in his toil-hardened
pair" Their faces, acting as strong
magnets, draw nearer and nearer until
daylight has no power to pass between.
Hear, or imagine you do, the sharp
click which follows. Observe how little
space they occupy-at first. How at
tentive and gallantis Mr.. Happiness as
he assists the "apple of his eye" in or
out of his carriage. We will say no
more, as those who have been there
know how 1T is, and those who have not
will learn rapidly enough; but We
honestly think That at gushing" a
much-maried elderly couple can give
untried and timid youth odds and then
distance them.
