WHIT Is YOUR D0Y READING

Noarone Qfthe lovel;est villages in
North Carolina, lived a widow and
her two sons. The younger was
standing on the border land between
boyhood and 4anhosd. lie was fond
OF books, and was allowed to read
whatever came in his way. Some OF
his relatives and friends were readers
Of sensational stories. The life of a
noted London yobber fell into the
hands OF the boy. His imagination
was fred with the prospect Of sudden
wealth. In this state Of mind, his
uncle employed him to go with a
wagon to Old Fort. Now it happen
ed that a wealthy miner came from
Pennsylvania, and did not wish to
be hurried by a mail coach but
preferred a slow wagon in order that
he might search for metals by the
way. With lis fine watch, diamond
rings and precious jewels, he tray
eled with the boy, and they camped
under a beech on the grassy banks OF
the swift and shining Swannano...
The boy and miner we're in a solitary
place, and the dew. (whose way had
already been prepared by a corrupt
example, suggested the death Of the
old man and the possession of his
treasures. The traveller was killed
and fastened in the river, under the
| roots Of a tree. The dead mans
friends instituted Investigations, and
finally found some of the miners
treasures in the pockets OF the boy.
The body was also washed to a shall
low place, and murder was manifest.
, The widows son was tried for muir
der. Able lawyers defended him,
ard the friends of the murdered man
spared no expense to secure his con-
v%iction. lie was found guilty. Pos
sibly the Governor might have grant
ed a pardon, or committed his sem
%tence. But just then it was deemeI
important to convince Northern men
that they might come South with
perfect safety, and 10 make visitors
to the mountains feel that they
might so there with a certainty Of
protection. The rashness Of youth
was treated as the deliberate purpose
of mature manhood, and the roaring
waters of the French Broad sounded
the funeral dirge Of the dying boy as
he suffered the extreme penalty Of
his only orime.-Onford Orphans

From the NcW I0rE Hcrdld.
The Democracy Of South Carolina
have strengthened themselves Detora
the country by renominatins Cover
nor Hampton.
from lie I%ilaaaphia Times.
.-.After all tie opposition Of the
bourbon clement 10 the Hampton
policy, the South Carolina Democrats
in convention assembled have given
Governor Hampton's administration
an Observation-Disclosures. They
went even farther and reatI;med the
political rights Of the freedmen in
unmistakahle terms. Ii would have
been better, if the convention had
stopped St there. The name Of
Hampton is platform enough. His
course has given them their strongest
mn 10 calfience, and when they
turn in other paths they leave a .ow-
er .of strength behind them.
From tic y. J. Eoe"ing Post.
Whatever opposition there may be
to Governor Hampton and his liberal
views among some Of the u%p-country
South Carolina Democrats, none Of
this opposition was manifested in tn e
State Convention yesterday, and the
whole of the State ticket was renom-
mated by acclamation, on a platform
which reanirmed the liberal views eX-
pressed by the South Carolina Demo
Gratis in 1876 and with which Cover
nor uamrton's course las been en-
tirely consistent. Governor Hampton
has demonstrated that he is a much
more influential Democrat than is tAo
