The Sea Islands,

All along the coast of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, is labyrinth of
salt creeks and rivers, which cut up the
land into innumerable islands, some of
them merely grass hammocks that are
covered at high water; others, delight
fully wooded with oak, cedar and palmet-
to, where the old time planter luxuriated
on the profits of the long silken staple,
which sold at fabulous prices. Now the
plantations are abandoned most of them,
and countless bevies of quail forage in the
old fields. Herds of deer and droves of
turkeys and coons come out of the ham,
mocks into the overgrown garden patches,
to feed on the succulent plants that have
come up spontaneously, year after year,
from self sown seed. Here and there is
an old concrete chimney, made of &C.
mented oyster shells, where an overseer's
house once stood; or the decaying rem
nants of some negro quarter, hidden in a
tangle of orange trees, catbriers, sprawl
ing fig trees, vines and palmetto scrub.
At intervals, on more eligible sites, are
groves of sombre live oaks, whose far
reaching arms are draped with swaying
moss, dropping over the waste where a
pretentious mansion formerly stood and
one can sometimes trace the outline of a
flower garden by the rose trees, jonquils,
and cape jasmines, that seem to grow
with strange system of regularity and
design.
Some few of these favored localities
have been reclaimed in part by their for
mer owners, and others are occupied by
Northern families who have acquired
possession since the war, and are in vain
attempting to rehabitate them, wonder
ing why, in this enervating climate and
the present demoralized state of labor,
they cannot make the waste blossom and
yield abundantly, as of yore. When the
tide goes out all the shallower creeks are
emptied and vast extent of marsh mud,
interspersed with grassy GASES, is exposed
to view; and all along the edges of these
islands is fringe of "coon oysters" and
here and there beds and reefs of these
oysters crop out of the mud at random,
threatening with their sharp, Ainty edges,
serious damage to any craft that runs
upon them. One would think there was
food here for the million, but it is not so;
these bivalves are chiefly shells, and no
"coon," however hungry, can consider
himself half repaid for what he is able to
pick out of them. In some places, how
ever, there are beds of fine edible oysters.
These mud fats yield abundant food to
all the tribe of web feet and waders, and
when the curlew, the willets, the winter
yellow legs and the snipe, ct i'd onane
genus, resort to them at low water, the
sportsman seizes the auspicious moment
at the half.food, and cautiously pushes
his boat up and down the intricate chan.
nels and speedily secures load. Of
duck, too, there are usually plenty.

WOULD IT BE Any HARM.-It is leap
year, and ifs tidy girl with red cheeks
feels palpitation of the heart for some
worthy young man would it be any harm
for her to call upon his father and speak
about the weather, the bad roads, the
hard times and the bad state of society,
and then remark:
"Mr. Quincy, I have an affection for
your son George, and think l could soon
learn to love him."
Quincy would look at her from the cor
ner of his eye, and she would continue: !:
;"I can wash, bake, cut out clothes,
sew, play the piano, manage a servant,
embroider, sing, speak good grammar and
make home so happy"

A woMAN's QUESTION.

Before trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine;
Before let thy future give
Color and form to mine;
Before peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for me.
/ break all slighter bonds nor feel
A shadow of regret
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free
As that which can pledge to thee?
Look deeper still. Ifthou cans't feel
Within thy inmost soul
That thou hast kept portion back,
While have staked the whole
Let no false pity stay the blow,
But, in true mercy, tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
Which mine cannot fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak now, lest at some future day
NV whole life wither and decay.
Couldst thou withdraw thy hand one day,
And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and that to-day's mistake,
Not thou, had been to blame?
Some soothe their conscience thus, but thou
Wilt surely warn and save me now.
Nay, answer not-I dare not hear,
The words would come too late
Yet would spare thee all remorse,
So comfort thee, my fate
Whatever on my heart may fall,
Remember would risk it all.

The Two Parties.

The Republican party has been up
ON trial Tor the past fifteen years, and
what ha. il shown? The grandcst
record Of good deeds, substantial re-
forms, and official integrity e pre-
scented in the history Of government.
Its responsibilities have been greater
than any party was ever called upon
To bear. Its trusts have been sacred
in their character. II has held in lis
keeping personal liberty. the rights
and pri sileges Of individuals, n
the very exi,tence of the nation. Ii
l,as expended and collected thousands
of millions for the common defense
and general welfare. and has shown
In all If il, transactions II regard for
the people who trusted IL. and for
wl.o-e prot, ction it WAS organized.
Surely If nuble deeds and great
achievements entillea party To on
sider alton, the Republican party has
earned by its splendid career the
thanks and gratitude of the civilized
world. Look now ut the record Of the
Democracy! It's repeated betrayal OF
public confidence; its trea sonable SYM
paihics and open mid 10 rebellion; Its
oppression ofthe blacks in the South
ern Staies; its ~afiliation with such
plunderers rs Tweed; its lily conceal
ed sympathy for the lost cause; and
i,s total want of appreciation OF the
public wants as shown in its stupid
transaction in the present House OF
Representatives stamp it as the worst
possible organization that ever court
ed pubic favor.
Is ii II difficult thing for the loyal
citizen To choose between the two
parties. Can any man who wishes
well for his country hesitate TO sup
port the one and oppose the other?
No! With the history of the two
parties 80 clearly written, and so well
understood, every citizen can draw
the line for himself. If he favors
good government, the peace ind Sc
curity of all, the development of our
national resources, and the growth
of our free institutions, he must of
necessity advocate and support the
Republican party. If these have no
charms tor him, and he seeks evil
rather than good, then he belongs To
Democracy, and should be found
with it.

DR.. BEARD states that from all anal
ysis of the lives of thousand repre-
sentative men in all the great branches
of the human family, he made the dis
covery that the golden decade was be-
tween 40 and SO; the brazen between
20 and 30; the iron between SO and
60. The superiority of youth and mid
die life over old age in original work
appears all the greater when we con
slider the fact that all the positions of
honor and prestige-profes
and public stations-are in the hands
Of the DID,. Reputation, like money
and position, is mainly confined to the
old. Men are not widely known until
long after they have done the work
that give them their fame. Portraits
of great men are delusions; statues
are lies! They are taken when men
have become famous, which, on the
average, is at least twenty-five years
after they did the work which gave
them their fame. Original work re-
quires enthusiasm. If all the origi-
nal work done by men under As were
annihilated, we would be reduced to
barbarism. Men are at their best at
that time when enthusiasm and expe-
rience are almost evenly balanced.
This period, on the average, is from
3S to 40. After this the law is that
experience increases, but enthusiasm
decreases.

A Los Angeles dispatch narrates
terrible tale of suffering on the Color
ado desert. Henry Smith from st.
Louis, with one companion and pack
train, left Yuma for Los Angeles, and
wandered four days on the desert
without water. Smith opened the
veins of his arm and drank the blood,
which clotted in his throat. He then
cut his wipd-pipe to remove it and
died in few hours after. His COM
panion reached the station in the last
stage of exhaustion.
The survivor himself presented q
terrible spectacle of want and suffer
ing. He was emaciated to the last
degree and capable Of telling his sto-
ry only after being strengthened by
food. There is no doubt of the truth
of the story in any particular, the ap-
pearance of the relator himself bear
ing out the confirmation of his owE
part of the terrible experience.
