AFTER MANY YEARS.
DY A. NJ. ENRIGHT.

What does it mean? Have tho flying years,
Numbered their decades by smiles or tears,
For all seems strange os VIC back ward look
And study our lives like an open book?
1t seems but vision-a misty dream.
The glimpses we catch on the buokward

But tho daisies that blossom beneath our
feet
Are not half as bright eyed OF half Us sweet
AS those that sprang UP in tho shady dell
Where tho bright stream murmurcd wo
loved so well.
All! the nystio dreams Of the that long ago
When the doifodil blossomed beside the
snow,
When tho waving plumes of tho tall green
Nodded the lesson VIC had to learn;
Could the days that are left come back again,
Our garncrcd wisdom would save us pain.
And we'd learn the art in that shady deli
10 act our part truly-to act it we'll.
But alas for the hopes that allured us then,
They died in the hcyday Of youth aud when
Their ghosts thrung around US with memo
ries deep,
Sure nothing is left us but sadly to weep,
Aud We wondering think on the deep dull
ache,
Of our young lifc's heart when ready to
break,
AS hope after hope of that young hcart's
pride
Vanished like bubbles upon the tide.
And of oil TINT woe there is left the trace
OF the furrow it ploughed as it aged our
face,
Aud the siltorcd silk that is now band
AS it touched our hair with ito chilling
hand.

Luriog the sailor 'neuth ohatging skies,
Tho prizes we saw on this distant strand
Still onward fit as We ucar the land)
And the gorgeous bloom Uf tho foyal tose
Has faced away! God only knows
How the tropic bloom of tlis fat away
Has paled meath the searching eye of day.
The soothing draught the heart would sip
Turns to gall upon tho lip.
And the flowers VIC Gull after many years
Arc turned to ashes by burning tears.
This is it which makes the long ago
Like an isle of the blcst with its glitter and
glow,
And into the future we moan and sigh
For tho violets wo then flung away to die.

attempted to wrong her, she would unhesi-

High Culture Farming.

Tho following communication, from

sent US by the latter. We gladly give it
place in our columns together with tho very
pertinent and sensible remarks of Mr..
Anderson. We commend the example of
these gentlemen to the sefious consideration
of oil our agricultural readers There is
no doubt that the high culture system of
farming Is more profitable than the old fogy
way of planting largo areas of Inferior
lands. Make rich the lands you do cult

be the steady aim of every tillcr of the SOIL
Let the following views of two educated

Such farming as that, generally carried

The Law Protects All.

The Sumter IKutchnaan, alluding to the
recent killing of negro in that county by
whito man, gives utterance to some sound
political truths. It should be remembered,
that such occurrences take place in South
Carolina more rarely than anywhere else,
and that in this State the murder of whites
by whites, blacks by blacks, and whites by
blacks is more frequent thau the murder of
negroes by white men. Nevertheless, what
tho 1Hatchman says is worthy Of quotation,
its application being extended to all lawlcss
violence:
"What was once said of tho English law
by most gifted statesman could now be
said with greater truth and emphasis of our
South Carolina law, under Democratic inf1u.

when sorrow can do good, perhaps, that he

days ago, When report reached the Fair
Grounds, where an immence crowd of white
citizens were assembled, that negro had
been inhumauly murdered by white man

on every hand and from every mouth VIC
could hear but one soatiment: The offender
must be brought to justice, no matter what
it cost. IT it be true that ho has killed
this negro in the manner and spirit We hear
he has done, ho shall be hung And it
was agreed that no labor and vigilance
would be spared to bring such sayages to o
speedy and exemplary justice.
1T was said by 'Junius,' as early as 1860,

The Silver Question.

We believe TINT upon one point there is
almost unanimously in the public opinion
upon the silver question, if wo leave out
the money dealers and gold worshppcrs.
This point is that silver shall be remonctized
at its proper va(uo, that value to DC settled
according to facts and to the best authorities.
"c have met with fow people who arc not
ready to approve the restoration of silver
as part of the specie basis of the land
upon this just principle. From that position
it was displaced By an arraut aud outrageous
fraud. To that position it should be re-
stored, and so restored upon just basis
That the relative value of gold and silver
may at timos bo disturbed by their unequal
production, experience has proved. But
this disturbance has been never great, and
in time it has generally been soon removed
The greatest disturbance that has happened
in this country has been from the sudden
and surprising excess Of the production
of gold. That disturbance our 90.
ernu'ent tried to obviato by reducing
the value of the silver dollar, whereas had
not that attempt been made the disturbance
would have been naturally obviated. Tho
natural distribution of the two precious
metals near tho earth's surface has been
astonishingly regular in all parts of the
earth that have been mined, 80 that in all
ages there has appeared wonderful stability
in their relative value. There is no good
reason for excluding either from the paper
basis.
Silver is an admirable medium of ex-
change in all retail business. It is essen

entirely the wants Of tho public, while it
keeps out Of circulation tho small paper
currency that has in time not only been q
source Of annoyance and disgust, but the
loss of millions upon millions tho hard earn.
iugs Of tho people. Silver can never do
harm 70 the country. The dealers in bonds
and the holders thereof are merely hypo-.
critical in their exaggerated predictions
about the effects of remonetizing silver.
They will get their gold interest as though
silver never was, and their bonds will in no
sort bo impaired in value by silver. Silver
will keep its place as practical and active
medium Of exchange for all retail business,
| while it will facilitate domestic economy
and those enterprises and industries which
must give to tho country its chief activity
and thrift and happiness. Gold is the
carpet knight of financial hcroism. Silver
will bo the brave and daring and hardy
soldier in the fold, always winning for the
country security, peace and coptentment.
This country hos too we'll known tho
value of silver in its domestic economy; L.
too well knows the magnitude of tho interest
the people have in silver from the rich mines
of il that are found in our mineral regions,
to rulo it out of financial consideration as
part Of the money basis of tho country.
