II we were able 10 look into the great
world beyond, we might repine AZ be-
ing obliged 10 remain here SO long.
just as God has placed great CULTS 81
space between The. planets, SO that the
inhabitants OF each shall only know the
affairs Of it, own globe, No has also
placed a gulf betws en- this world and
the future life. Thus, he makes, il our
duty 70 think, not Of dying, but Of liv-
ing; not Of the hereafter, bur Of Tia
here; not Of the world 10 come, but of
the world that is. Every day we are to
prepare, not for death, but for life; for
u we live well and wisely here, we may
certainly trust God a. 10 our hereafter.
This. however, think we may say.
that death, when II comes, must be con-
sidered not u bad thing, but good
thing. Since the Almighty sends death
10 every one Of his creatures 10 whom
he has given life, since death Is rs uni
versal, as life. death must be blessing
as well as life. Some great advantage
must be connected with this event which
we call death. 1t Is made fearful when
we look forward to il from a distance,
that we may not too rass...y seek IL, be-
fore we have had enough OF the disci-
pline of this world. But when il comes
1t usually is welcome; and it may be
that, when we look back upon il from
the other world, we shall smile 70 think
that we should ever have been afraid Of
it. This also we know II the other
world That ii Is created by the same
being who has made this world, il is
another mansion in the house Of our
Father. Consider. then, what be has
done for rs here, il you wish to know
v hat he will do foi Us there. II there
is in.fnite variety in this world--day
and night, sleep and waking, changing
seasons, flowers and trees, iases and
rivers, mountains and plaias--a vast
fora and fauua-then there will, no
doubt, be an equal or a greater varsity
there for surely the Creator has not
exhausted himself in making this world.
There, as here, there will be beauty for
the eye and ear; problems for the intel
lect to investigate: work 70 do. full Of
utility; society, intercourse, affection;
the power Of progress, the sight Of good
ness and greatness above US TO aspire TO
and reverence. There will be enough
to ponder, enough 10 do, and enough
10 loye.--,Jdmcs freeman Clarke.

A Scandal Full OF Lawsuits.

Of litigation has been caused at Bridge

The following extract from letter
published in the Cardiff Mai, written
by Dundee gentleman, manager IF the
recently formed Rangamati tea-gardons
in the province Of Assam, shows that
pioneers in tea-planting have exciting
times in addition TO their hard work
RANGAMTI, Nowgong, Aug. l5.--It is
with great regret that have to report
sad occurrence that took place at
Rangamati three days ago. Three
Meekir men were cutting jungle, pre-
pairing to opening out, when / left the
garden on Monday, about 1;3O a. m.
Less than half an hour afterward a tiger
suddenly sprang out, struck one of the
men. on the head, which partially scalp
ed him, caught him by the throat, and
dragged him out of sight.
This happened about four hundred
yards in front of the lines of the Cacha-
rees six Of whom saw the whole occur
renee. Every one, Meekirs and Cach-
arees, who were working near, fled from
the spot, and two men came over two
hours afterward and gave me informa-
zion. Levick, Blackwell, and lost no
time in going over. We found and fol-
lowed up the track for over $50 yards
in the jungle, when we came upon the
body, minus leg. IL was too late to
get a = chang erected, as there were
no trees at hand, and, unfortunately,
we could not manage TO procure poison.
Next day we went out on the Sama-
goorie +" haiti = (elephant), beat in cir
cles round the body, which had been
dragged fifty yards further, minus both
legs, and in thick, hard Jungle, over
twenty feet in height. We hung about
beating for hours, but could neither
hear nor see any thing Of the tiger. 1t
was most annoying that we had no
poison, for better chance Of destroy
ing this man-eater could not be had.
am getting an old COW tied every even
ing AZ the edge Of the jungle in hopes Of
his taking the bait-ihat ii, coming for
the cow to enable us 10 shoot him. The
unfortunate Meckir was one of my best
workers, regular in his attendance, and
generally giving me two hazrees" per
day.
lie is the fourth victim within the last
three months that has fallen TO this
man-eating tiger, and all the kills =
have taken place within a mile and
half Of my compound at Rangamati.
The customary royalty for tigers skull
is twenty-five rupees. Levick and will
ourselves add twenty-five, and have
requested the Deputy Commissioner 10
grant fifty rupees Gin all 100 rupees) for
this brute's destruction. 1t seems that
there are tiger and tigress in the part
of Rangamati which am now clearing.
However, fortunately, there is enough
jungle cut, fired, and ready for hoeing,
so that the Cocharees will not be de-
tanned in their work.
The place aDounds with wild animals.
A panther carried away dog from the
door Of a coolies hut lin the lines); a
wild elephant chased the Meekirs from
cutting bamboos; and I, myself, while I
from Nonoi, suddenly found
myself six yards from ll-grown
bear, which detained me for about Eve
minutes. However, after the place Is
cleared, hoed, and planted, there will be
small cover left.

A MODERN ROMEO AND JULIET

Ifyon had gone with me into certain
church in Elltown on certain Sunday
followed the highly respectable usher w
the softly carpeted aisle, and settled
yourself comfortably in the corner Of the
proffered seat, and glanced up at the
organ and choir behind the Rev
Speecham's desk, your attention would
probably nave been attracted, as was
mine, by an undeniably attractive sub
ject. A girl in a dark gray dress and
hat, with dash of color like the breast
Of bird in the latter. and charming
poise and quick motion Of the head to
carry out your thought. A slender,
graceful girl, with warm, red dimpled
cheeks, full red lips that gave the chief
expression Of the face, and were con-
stantly changing that expression by lit
tie curves ard quivers, steady, blue ewes
and strong forehead and chin.
II, at the end Of the first hymn, You
had been unable to tell what she had
been singing about it would not have
been because you had not been watch.
ing her al the time from under cautious
eyelids, and. after the reading, YOU
would probably have found yourself as
/ did. old bachelor that am, wonder
ing what that girl was thinking about.
First she pulled off one neat, little
gray glove, rolled il into ball, and
threw II into book-rack in very i'm
petuous manner, and when the quiet lit
tie Mr.. speecham gave out the hymn
she glowered at him savagely, then shut
her lips tightly, making q straight scar
let line that surely was not called out
by the sentiment, I" Blest be the tie that
binds, etc.
After the audience was settled for its
morning nap I think, to tell the
truth--the blue eyes took far-away
look, as If they saw something beyond
the back OF the minister's head, beyond
the upturned faces, beyond the carved
doors and stone walls, and beyond the
touch Of the closely clasped fingers.
This expression prevailed to the end
of the sermon, toned down now and
then, by an evident thinking out Of the
matter 10 question. After the benedic-
ton had been pronounced, and the peo-
pie sufficiently awakened BY a terrible
blast from the organ 10 walk mechani-
cally out Of the chilly church into the
bright sunshine outside, I saw my
morning puzzle slip by DR.. Speecham,
join middle-aged lady Of the highly
respectable sort and 90 out with the
scrUwd. As for me, betook myself to
saihrmdrum clearinghouse with dim
feeling Of regret that | was no longer
young.
Now, all this Is simply prologue. as
II were, to the little drama which
found out afterward, and started out in
the beginning TO tell you under the title
which has, believe. been used for a
similar purpose already by some one.
Having given the introduction In due
order, the curtain will now rise on the
first act Of the play.
Picture TO yourselves Sunday after
noon, slowly waning into evening;
large gothic house, with great many
porticos, and on one Of them my puzzle
Juliet, and the middle-aged lady, whom
she addresses as aunt, sitting vis-a-vis.
Juliet looks up now and then into the
elderly lady's face as she speaks TO her,

THE THIEVES CARNIVAL.
AN ASTOUNDING CATALOGUE OF THE
RoBBERIEs UNDER CARPET-RULE
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
HOUSED. CLOTHED, INTOXICATED
AND REDUCED TO CIVILIZATION
At STATE EXPENSE.

General Dennis Gays that more
than $1,000 OF thcee- certificates
were divided between Speaker Mos
es, Clerk A. O. Jones, Miles g. Par
ker, Tim Hurley, and himself.
Your committee find that large
Z portion Of the fraudulent certificates
issued to pay the difference between
the legitimate amount due for fur
niture and the amount to which ii
was raised have been paid.
After careful examination of the
furniture in the State House by Gen
Dennie, he affirms "that there is not
, left there more than one half of what
was purchased, and, very few of the
clocks, which were of the finest qua
lity, costing from $3.50 to 5000 each;
and that out of several mirrors, which
cost 5000 each, only one remained -
From the report marked No. 73,
"Exhibit A." to WHICH we referred
in evidence of A. 0. Jones, it ap-
pears that Benja Byas, chairman
of the committee, reported in favor
of the raised claim which defrauded
the State of at least $45, 900, but IN
favorably on rs much Of it as referred
to paying w. E. Rose small amount
due him for boarding the uphols-
ters who were sent from New York
to place and arrange the carpetings,
furniture, &c.
Gen. Dennis also testifies that Sin
the spring or summer of 1859, O. T.
Leslie, Land Commissioner, purch'
ased q lot of furniture from Mr.. Ber~
ry, ostensibly for his Office, bnt in
reality for his residencc;' says che
was in Gov. Scott's Office afterwards
and heard an alteration between him
and Leslie, which was caused by the
bills being sent to Scott for payment
Scott swore he would not pay them
but did eventually do SO, from some
fund or another" The bills Of Mr.
Silcox, made out in Mr.. Leelie's name
prove that furniture was supplied b.
the State to some of her distinguish
ed statesmen as far back as 1860.
It is no longer a matter OF sur
prise to your committee that mem
: beYs who only received six dollar
per diem could in few weeks atte
their arrival in Columbia obtain
elegant furniture for their rooms
Brussels carpets for their floors, an
recline on Oriental springs am
sponge mattresses, while their con
stituents were being bounded dow
by the inexorablevpx gatherer to pa
the price of those luxurios.
AS a further illustration of the in
ordinate greed OF this hordeo rob
