and think that nature made her,

The statutes Of South Carolina
make arson punishable by death
The Republicans who gave Soath
Carolina a divorce lew also re-
duced the penalty OF arson to im-

GUNNER of 1865. when the State
was still in the chaos caused by
Sbermans destructive march,
a barn belonging to Jesse M. Shea
ley was burned down. Coogler, a
respectable citizen, was suspected
of the crime. The matter ended,
however, in whispers, and for
thirteen years Sbealey and Coog-
Ter lived near neighbors, and seem
ingly not OH unfriendly terms.
Last spring disagreement arose
between them, and Shealey pro
cured an Indictment against Coog-
Ter FOR having burned his barn.
Coogler was convicted and sen.
fenced to be hanged. Over four
thousand persons have signed pe'
tition asking that the sentence be
commuted on the ground that the
evidence die not establish guilt,
and that the iellow-citizeps of the
convicted man generally believed
him innocent.

The Text

A poor man and his vile lived
in the North of Ireland on a bit
of a farm, so small that it did
not afford them a living, and
they ran behind on the rent.
They felt very uneasy and de-
spondent about the debt. One
Sabbath morning the wife de-
clared her intention of going
to meeting. Perhaps the minis
ter would have q word of COM
fort for her. But she came home
more cast down than ever.
"What's the matter? Had
the minister no good word for
ye the day?" asked her husband.
can, no." replied she. she
held me up to shame before the
whole congregation What do
you think he took for his text,
man? Why, this: Gf ye don't
pay the rent, ye shall all leave
the parish
"There's no such text in the
Bible" said the husband.
"'Deed then, there is! ! saw
him read it out Of the book
with my own two eyes"
The husband was incredulous,
and took the first opportunity
to ask one Of his neighbors, who
had been at the service, about
the matter.
"Will ye tell me what the
minister took for his text the
Sabbath morn?" caid he.
"The text? / mind 1T welli7
said the neighbor. Except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise per-

Our New York Letter

The ''Sand Lot "BIatherskite-t
Horse Car Strikes-H0w New
York Eats-Riyers of Milk.
NEw York, Sept. 6. 1873.
To the Editor Of the Observer !.
Kearney is spreading. lie
has come TO New York, and
greatly astonished the clerk of
the hotel at which he is stop
ping by asking his way to the
Astor Library. His purpose,
doubtless, was to hunt up fresh
adjcctiyes 10 hurl at the "moon-
eyed, leprous sons of Bloated-
Bondholders" with capital Bs.
Dennis proves himself an a.
lien TO this class by always TAX
ing up a collection for his own
special benefit at the close of
each harangue. After the hat
has been passed around, and
when the senselcss jargon has
gone from his listeners ears, his
hearers must wonder what it all
amounts to anyway and wheth-
er they got their moneys worth.
Dennis has about as much
hold upon the real workingmen
of the country as a debilitated
leech on the leg Of a kicking
COW when making through
swamp. lie proposes no intel
ligent methods by means of
which his colleagues may better
their fortune; forif they followed
his advice, incendiarism and
plunder would mark the course
of the new party's progress.
Kearney went to Coney Island
after he had passed around the
hat in Jersey City the other
evening. He said he wanted 10
"scour out his throat" before
speaking in New York. How
he proceeded to do this can be
as easily imagined as described.
Whether the yaporings Of this
blatant demagogue have been
the effective cause or not | cam
mot say; but certain it is, that
his speeches seem to have been
the signal for the general strike
now i'll progress among the
horse-car drivers. This strike
is causing the travelling public
considerable inconvenience, and
the companies themselves much
trouble and loss, bat by the
time this letter reaches you, will
probably be at an end. The COM
panics claim that the elevated
roads have-so diminished their
receipts chat they are forced TO
cut down wages.

When brooks Of summer shallow run,
And fiercely. CLOVIS the radiant sun;
Where waves the blue flag, tall and dan
And water weeds grow rich and rank,
The Haunting dragon-fy is seen,
A winged spindle, gold and green.
Born OF the morning mists and dews,
He darts-a fash Of jewcled hues-
Athwart the waterfall that filings
From his twice. duplicate wet wings,
Diamonds and sapphires such as CLEAN
And vanish in bridesmaids dream
Sail not, 0 Dragon Fly, too near

For lurking in its depth below,
The hungry trout, thy fatal foe,
Doth watch TO snatch thee unaware,
AT once from life, and light, and air.

Enjoy thy brief, fleet span of time
Full soon chill autumn's frosty breath
Shall blow for thee wind of death,
And dash to dust thy gaudy sheen
Thy glitterins mail OF gold and green.
