THE OLD SWEET SONG.

remember song whose numbers throng
As sweetly in memorys twilight hour
AS the voice of the blessed in the realm of rest
Or the sparkle of dew on a dreaming flower
'Tis simple air, but when others depart
Like an angel whisper, it elings to my heart
Ihave wandered far under sun and star.
Heard the rippling music in every cline,
From the carol clear of the gondolier
To the wondrous peal of a sacred chime;
nave drunk in the tones which bright lips let fall
To thirstling spirits in bower and hall.
The anthems bland OF the masters grand
Have borne me aloft on their sweepinr wings.
And the thunder roll of the organs soul
browns not the murmur of fairy STRINGS
Or the shepherds pipe whose music thrills
With the breath of morn DER the sleeping hills.
But none remain like the simple strain
Which my mother sang to my childish cars.
As nightly and oft DER my pillow soft
She gently hOvered to sOothe my fears
1 can see her now, with her bright head bent
In the light which the taper so feebly lent
can see her now, with her fair pure brow
Andthe dark locks pushed from her temples clear,
And the liquid rays of her tender gaze
Made eloquent by a trembling tear,
As she watched the sleep that is sweet for all
Like rose leaves over my spirit fall.
And the notes still throng of that old sweet song,
Though silent the lips hatbreathed them to me.
Like the chimes so clear which mariners hear
From the sunken cities beneath the sea;
And never, ahl never can they depart
While shines my being and beats my heart.
That song, that song, that old sweet soneI
gathered it up like golden chain.
Link by link, when to slumber sink
And link by link when wake again:
shall hear ii, I know, when the last deep rest
Shall fold me close TO the earth's dark breast.

IL The Democrats Of South Carolina
have suddenly fallen in love with Moses,
the chief justice of that state. A year
or two since the vilest words in the
vocabulary could not express their utter
adherence of this man Moses; but now
they adore him for his officious and
illegal interference with the board of
canvassers in South Carolina. As by
law required the board completed its
labor in ten days, and adjourned sine
die. The Democratic leaders who had
some dirty work to perform, induced
Judge Moses to grant a writ Of mandd-
mus, ordering the board to reconvene.
The canvassers, however, have resigned
their positions, and there is no ''board''
to unless Gov. Chamberlain,
with the advice and consent of the
senate, should appoint a new board,
which he is not likely to do at present.
Judge Moses, who is very bitter
against Gov. Chamberlain for refusing
to commission Moses SOL as a district
Judge in South Carolina, to which posi-
| ton he was fraudulently elected about
a year ago, would like to ''reward' the
| Governor by counting in Gen. Hamp-
ton; but the Moses-H Hampton combina-
ton will probably be beaten at this
desperate game.
