THE LITTLE MAID THAT SLEPT.
From Good Words . !

tFrom Good Words.
Somber folds the windows shroud,
Phantom figures come and go
Hearts that must not speak too loud,
Muili,d footballs, whispers low,
Cool deft handS-about a bed
Where, meath levers scprching sway,
Lies little restless head,
Tossing, tossing, tossing aye
But the hour of fate draws Digh,
And the mId.sun overhead
Shrieks and drops from out the sky
Yea, the child is dead
But she lies so dimpling- fair,
In her bed-gown long and white.
With her waves of heavy hair
Drowning neck and shoulder bright,
With the fower-lIps just apart.
Half way bu1ied toa smile
Pure young heart. . sweet Child-hesrt,
Hardly smirched with human guile
Life 80 bright on cheek and brow
And those thin white lids of hers
Fancy whispers, "Soitly now,
Soitly-see, she stirs -
But the twin hands fairy small.
Crossed above the bosom's snow,
Never rise and hang and fall
With the breath soft ebb and flow.
Yea, the breaking mother-heart.
Throbbing close in anguish prest,
Vainly would its warmth impait
To the blue-veined marble breast;
Kisses win no kissed reply,
Yea, the pet name softly said
Lures no smile to mouth and eye
Truly, she is dead
First to heaven he turns his eyes
One long moment, as in prayer.
Then upon the maid that lies
Lspt in slumber still and fair.
Lo. his hands lust touch her clay;
Little m alden. wake, arise %
And the sharp sweet light of day
Smitss in lightning on her eyes.
And the bloOd's sWI.t tlde again,
Like stream its chain that breaks,
Sings through every tingiing vein.
As she sighs, and smiles. and wakes;
Lips that laugh and eyes that weep.
Throat that thrills with stined scream
Little maiden, thou didst sleep
Oh, to know thy dream

The State Convention.

1uo 0tdCo OOllYeutlOus
The State Democratic Convention
meets in Columbia on Thursday for
the purpose Of nominating State
ticket, and State Executive Com
mittee, and of preparing platform
of principles. The first task will be
easy enough. Almost all the coun-
ties have instructed their delegates
to support Governor Hampton and
the whole State ticket, and tho indi-
cations are that these gentlemen will
be renominated by acclamation.
They have performed their duties
with great fidelity and capacity, and
denomination will be graceful
compliment.
The selection of State Executive
Committee lisa matter of Importance,
for upon this body rests the conduct
of the campaign. The present COM
mittee have acted wisely in the past,
and we see no reason why they, or at
least a majority of them, should not
be again placed at the helm. De-
spite occasional adverse criticisms
that, apparently, have their origin
in fancied encroachment upon what
somo candidate considers his privi-
(ege or his interest. tho general ver-
dict of the State is that tho Cons
mittee has discharged It's duties with
ability and disinterestedness.
The platform is important. Plat
forms are generally made to be
broken, but tho boast of Governor
Hampton and the people that the
platform of 1876 has been rigidly
adhered to, naturally attracts alton
tion to the enunciation of principles
by the Democracy in 1878. The old
platform is good enough for second
use /; it's planks are still broad and
strong enough to hold the party, and
while the old timbers are solid there
is no necessity of setting fresh
gang Of carpenters to work building
another The best thing to do is
to let we'll enough alone. If DEEM
ed necessary, it might be well to
insert a plank declaring that the
party is equally removed from the
two extremes, one of making the
campaign race issue, and the other
OF squirting inAthe least towards
fusion or combination with any
organized party. While all are in.
vited to aid the Democracy in this
good work, all who come must como
in under tho Democratic banner.
The time for proposing to divide Off
ces with the Republicans has passed
long ago. Sincere propositions of
this nature were contemptuously
spurned in tho heyday of Radicalism,
and they will never again be offered.
1t would not be uuwise, either,
for the convention to- declare that
any tendency to forget the main
issue and to run off at tangent on
minor questionis absolutely suicidal,
and is a bid for bolts and internal
dissena ohs. All Acknowledgements are
agreed that RadioaHsm is a hideoua
monster that must be crushed, and
all will xnite earnestly to destroy it

MI ENSs
There Is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
grape-grower of Croton Point died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind. that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more 10 be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t Is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
Of the estate and the sale Of the wines OH
hand: Among these is wine of the vintage
Of 1904. described as a Sweet Union PORT
but suggesting the Imperial TokaY more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly Unlike any other wine Of American
growth Its purity, age and mcllowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and wine
faanciers have q special interest in 1t as the
siderable quantity. The whole stock is In the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N. y 7t11ans,
Noo. Io. 1871.
The above speaks for itself, but We would
add that this Is tho pure juice Of the grape,
neither d,xsYea, Hqno,ed nor 1uake,xd: that It
has been ripened and mcllowcd by age, and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes 1t IS
unsurpassed. 1t can be obtained from most

Very Rev. j. B. Purcell, Archbishop
of Cincinnati, was next visited, and ask

attack on the Authenticity of the Bible.
He took pen and paper. and in few

81 know nothing Of Col. Ingersoll but
what I chance to see now and then in the
newspapers. Having firm faith in the
Bible, the Holy Scriptures,as the written
word of God, and having seen for more
than sixty years the refutation of all that
skeptical irreligious men have written
against the Bible, am profoundly grieved
that its integrity, authenticity and verac
ity should now be called in question:
As the Bible, in my judgment, is the
greatest solace and support to man ir
the sorrows, the Affections, the tempta
tions and the trials to which he is sub
jected in his journey from the cradle t.
the grave, ! consider him who questions
and denies its divinity, its wisdom, it
being a most precious boon Of heaven
as an enemy to the human race, and i'm
piously ungrateful to its author-GoD.
