SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY,

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes,
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens DER her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek and DER that brow
So soft, so clear, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win. the tints that glow
But tell of days in goodness spent -
A mind ct peace with all below,
A heart whose love Is innocent.

EDITORIAL MUTUAL ADMIRATION
many of our OK
changes arc urging the necessity Of
forming State Press Association we
think there is greater neod of an
Editors Mutual Admiration Society.
Press and Bonner.
We are in favor Of the above sug-
gestion, and urge that all the editors
il Abbevillc al least join it. We think
they are the crossost set Of which any
county in the State can boast. When
we made our appearance and pulled off
our hats to them, they formally and
politely acknowledged us which made
US feel easy and comfortable. till the
first thing We know the Press and
Banner gave US stroke between "the
joints of the harness. which came
near finishing US. This was followed
by several taps on the head with the
editorial wand. We seriously thought
about retiring. 70 the above instan-
ces Of "admiration" for US, the Medi-
um joined in most heartily. and bo'
tween them we havo had time OF it.
Now we thank the Press and Bunner
for this evidence of a bctter spirit,
and hope it will agitale this subject
till il ends in tho desirable result.
We arc at O loss to account for the
irritabiIity and crossness of the edi-
tors of our county, unless-on the
suggestion of Miss Pipsy-so many
of them are bachcloro. AT any rate,
our experience makes us in favor OF
the Editors: Mutual Admiration Soci.

THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS,
BY THOMAS HOOD.

d ldOMAS t1OOD.
'DroWned! DroWned W-HAMLl
One more unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her DEATH
Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care!
Fashioned so slenderly.
Young, and so fair.
Look at her garments
Clinging like cerements,
While the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing;
Take her up instantly.
Loving, not loathingl
Touch her not scornfully!
Think of her mournfully,
Gently and humanity
Not of the stains of her;
All the remains of her
Now is pure womanly.
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her mutiny
Rash and undutiful;
Past all dishonor
Death has left OH her
Only the beautiful.
Still, for all sips of hers
One of Eve's family
Wipe those poor lips of hers.
Oozipg so calmly.
Loop up her tresses
Escaped from the comb
Her fair auburn tresses,
While wonderment guesses.
Where was her homer
Who was her Father?
Who was her mother?
Had she a sister?
Had she brother?
Or was there dearer one
Still, and a nearer one
Yet, than all other
Alas! for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Under the sun!
., it was pitiful,
Near a whole city full,
Home she had none.
Sisterly, brotherly,
Fatherly, motherly
Feelings had changed,
Love, by harsh evidence,
Thrown from its eminence;
Even Gods providence
Seeming estranged.
Where the lamps quiver
So far in the river,
With many a light
From window and easement
From garret to basement
She stood, with amazement
Houseless by night.
The Bleak wind of March
Made her tremble and shiver!
But not the dark arch
Or the black flowing river;
Mad from life's history,
Glad to deaths mystery,
Swift to hurled
Anywhere, anywhere
Out Of the world!
IL she plunged boldly
No matter how coldIy
The rough river ran
Over the brink of it!
Picture it-think of It.!
Dissolute man
Lave in it, drink of it,
Then, if you can!
Take her up tenderly
Lift her with care!
Fashioned 80 slenderly,
Young and so fair!
Ere ber limbs frigidly,
Stiffen too rigidly,
Decently kindly
Smooth and compose them;
And her eyes, close them
Staring 80 blindly!
Dreadfully staring
Through muddy impurity,
AS when with the daring
Last look of despairing
Fixed on futurity.
Perishing gloomily,
Spurred by contumely,
Cold in humanity
Burning insanity,
Into her rest!
Cross her hands humbly,
AS if praying dumbly,
Over her breast!
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior,
And leaving, with meekness
Her sins to her Savior!

Mr.. Editor:
As the people in your city have been
deeply interested in Temperance for the
past two years or more. they will be glad
to learn that other New England cities out
side of Maine are maniiesting like interest.
The city of Haverhill. Mass. with a pop
nlatiou OF about 1900. commenced the
work OF reform, by organizing Reform
Club. at the same time that Ellsworth COM
menced the reform movement.
The organization now numbers nearly
5000 pledged men and women. of tins
large number. but very few have fallen
back into their drinking habits.
learned this week from one OF the city
pastors, that a revival of religion was in
progress among the reformed men. aud
that ten of the number had joined his
church
Oiher churches have received aeces sions
from the same class Of men.
Who can estimate the good resulting
from such movement: The families that
have been made happy by the temperance
reform in that city are counted hy scores.
Meetings are held every Monday hight

Ny Dear Madam: have the honor to

or die or resign. In fact, the Dead-Letter

The Mississippi correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial says that great
many negroes in Jackson voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. One reason was that. be
cause the Government did not step in AZ
the request OF Governor AInes, they have
got the notion that it has gone back on
them" Again. says the correspondent
Another influence was the well known
fact that the whites are in arms; that they
intend no longer To live under negro rule
if they have TO sight TO get out. The ne
groes do not want a fight. They know
what that means. So many voted with the
whites as a matter of Cancellation, prefer
RUG to see Democrats elected than To have
a row in which they would be- the chief
sufferers"
