A MAN CANNOT SERVE Two Mas
TERs.-Two or three days ago it was Off
cially announced that our prominent and
honored fellow citizen, DIR. D. G. Tomp-
kins, had been appointed by Gov. Cham
berlain as County Treasurer of Edgefeld.
DIR. Tompkins, who is not only one of
the most intelligent men of our county,
but also one Of the richest, and who
comes of an old and pure race, jealous
of their honor, declines to accept the
office. We have not had personal in
terview with DR.. Tompkins, but having
known him intimately from school days
on, we understand his feelings and his
motives perfectly. He is true and life.
long Democrat, and has the aims and
ends of the Democratic party too much
at heart to allow himself to become in
the slightest degree trammeled by fealty
to any other master. He is eminently
business man and might have served the
burdeued people of Edgefeld well as
County Treasurer, but he serves them
still more nobly and more permanently
by setting them the example of not hand
ling, not touching, the unclean thing
Edgefeld is proud and pure. She does
design becoming tool in such wretch
ed sham as the Chamberlain REFORM
Gov. Chamberlain must seek further for
one who will undertake the perilous and
thankless task of Strengthening out the
wild confusion of his man McDevitt.--

reach complete maturity before decay
sets in to mutilate and spoil, and make
the dearest objects swiftly pass away.
And, oh liif this were only all II, in
their passage, every thing. went well if
no collision eyer should occur, or sudden
dire, disaster. dash the lovely train to
death, then could we somewhat hope to
acquiesce in the swift passage. But you
hand in hand, traverse the downward
slope to death;' and you tell of fair Ze-
nobia, of masculine but beautiful Boadi-
cea, and of the lovely daughter of the
hasty Jephthah Would it be rash or
wrong to hope that those who come upon
the stage when we have passed away,
may not, with equal truth, relate the
story of the lives Of Ella, and of Mamie,
and of Susie, as of lovely, beauteous
maidens, who, on a summer night, mid
festive scenes, commenced the very age
of their gladstone lives, with bright an
ticipations; but who met betimes with
dire reverses of various sorts, and one by
one, or altogether, walked in sadness
hand in hand with anguish down to
death
"But, see 'omid the darkness shines the
stars The stately Jupiter lights UP the
Eastern sky, and lovely Venus we'll illu-
mines the West, while Sirius, .Arcturus,
Syra and Affair send down their unre-
Aected rays from stations far beyond the
reach of human measurement. Just
yesternoon I looked aloft, and nothing
could / see of all their brilliancy; but
now the spangled heavens, "a shining
their great Original proclaim So often
as you say, adversity and anguish stimu-
late the growth of virtue, and prepare
the afflicted for the M glty deeds of life.
"But, after all, this view of life is but
one-sided and unfair. Our lots are cast
here not for mere enjoyment of the
scenes through which we pass, though
this, as far as lawful, is desirable; but
our mission in our present pilgrimage IS
that we may declare and do, and, if it
need be, suffer all the righteous will OF
Him who placed US here, and thus our
selves become prepared and bethe means
of others preparation for the unalloyed
enjoyment Of His everlasting glorious
presence. Often is it true that human
spirits must endure the crucible of sor-
row, that the gold, unmixed with dross,
may from its shining surface perfectly
reflect the holy image of its Maker.
''Let, then, this lesson be the last, as
most assuredly it is the best, that shall
ever have impressed upon you: Buy the
truth + and realize in all its precious
power and fulness, that it is only Jesus
Christ the Lord who truly says: I am
the truth"

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The result of the Republican Nomi-
mating Convention was surprise to the
country. 1t seemed almost certain that
Blaine was destined to receive the nomi-
nation, when the delegates began to cast
their ballots, and his strength was not
diminished to any considerable extent as
the balloting progressed. The final con-
test was an aggregation of all the
elements opposed to Blaine, concentrated
upon man who was not looked upon
with any great favor as candidate when
the Convention assembled. 1t was an
absolute necessity to prevent Blaine's
nomination, which was sure and certain
defeat before the people, that the friends
of Conkling; Bristow and Morton should
unite upon compromise candidate, sur
rendering their claims to the pressure of
an overwhelming necessity. Rutherford
B. Hayes, the present Governor of Ohio,
was chosen as the man for the emergency,
and he was nominated by only bare
majority.
Gov. Hayes enters upon the campaign
under better auspices than were likely to
attend the nomination of the more prom
inent politicians, although his strength
before the masses is mainly negative in
its character, when we glance over the
whole country, for to great degree he

disposed to congratulate the voters of
that party upon the result.
