THE VALUE OF LOCAL NEwPAPERs

THE VALUE OF LOCAL NEwPAPERs.
After all, it is from the local newspa-
pers, and not from outside source, that
the real state of almost any case can be
ascertained. It is all very well for jour-
nails published in places more or less
distant from the scene of action to have
their representatives on the spot, and to
publish brief reports of actual occur
rences but to get at the bottom of
things, to ascertain the underlying mo-
tives, to discover the secret springs of
action, to get a correct photograph of
not only events but of the causes which
produce the results that are Witnessed
to do all these satisfactorily and well,
you must subscribe for or otherwise OBJ
tain the local newspaper. 1t is that
which holds the mirror up to nature and
shows us the true form and pressure of
the time. From the leading editorial
articles, from the brief editorial para
graphs, from the items furnished by that
indefatigable gatherer of news-the re-
porter, from the effusions which some
times adorn but oftener disfigure the po-
etical columns, from even the advertise
ments themselves, much that is valua-

Attbe New York Press Club reception

Atthe New York Press Club reception,
recently, Rev. T. De Witt Talmage told
the following story: "An old fisherman
once told me the reason so few sinners
were converted lay in the manner in
which the ministers angled for them
sWhen I go to catch fish, said he, i use
a delicate pole, an almost invisible line,
a hook of the most artistic workman

which I softly drop into the stream but
when you preachers start out You take
for pole q weaver's beam, to which you
fasten cart rope, with pot hook at

This you throw into the water with q

THE LAST LAY OF THE MINSTREL.
BY HUNTER.
.'This was the first sweet singer in the cage
OF our close-woven life. A newborn age
Claims in his vesper song its heritage:"
"How shall we thank him that in evil days
He faltered never,-nor for blame, nor praise,
Nor hire, nor party, shamcd his earlier lays?'
10. W. HOLMES.
Well may the Nation weep
For him who late hath died.
With sacred tears his memory steep,
Above his form fairest trophies heap
We mourn nations pride.
Vainly the sordid few
Who would his triumph cloud,
Assay to sprinkle with poisonous dew
That holy shrine, SO pure, and SO true; -
He's wrapt in honor's shroud! X
The grand old bard's at rest,
His ancient Tyre unstrung;
But, ere his sun stole down the West,
And he sought the cloudless Isles of the Blest,
One deathless song he sung:
".
A song that cannot die,
Nor its record Time can blast;
But. treasured faithfully it shall lie
Within each breast; and nations eye
Guard it while song shall last.
1t dwells upon the breeze
The minstrels farewell strain,-
It sighs thro groves of palmetto trees,
And far to the North, in frozen degrees,
Lingers the sad refrain.
This was his parting gift,
When he was called away;
To close in sorrowing hearts a rift,
And tenderly upward our spirits lift,
He gave this last, pure lay.
VII.
Crown'd with immortal wreath
His fame will ever be;
To his earthly glory his songs bequeath.
While he, who sang them, is resting beneath
The sheen of the victor's tree.
His efforts need no praise
The toll of mortal tongue
Frail is the adamant we might raise,
To his lasting maeed, for whose sounding lays,
The Tyre of Heaven was strung!
TX.
He has set his weary feet,
At last, on firmest land
[onias bard he there shall meet,
And England's heavenly minstrel greet
Upon that golden strand.
Glad will that meeting be!
Pure as the light that plays
Der the spotless throne of Liberty,
DR., that gilds the sunset of the free.
Are the songs Of hero-days!
XI.
Embalm the sacred dust,
His name let Memory keep;
No uncouth hand shall ever thrust
From the Nations grasp her deathless trust,
While our patriot bard shall sleep!

AN OLD SONG,

SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH.
hear it now as the twilight falls
And the forest grows dark and gray,
And the vesper bell to the convent calls
To worship at close Of day.
1t brings the mem'ries of by-gone hours,
Like the wind from some distant land,
Watts the odor of tropical flowers,
To Northland's dreary strand.
1t brings back the dreamings of sunny youth
As the ocean-wave's ceaselsss chime
Seem to chant of some wondrous truth
Yet hidden in the womb of Time;
Dreamings as bright as the poets were
When he sang of the glories of heaven,
Or walked at night by the river so fair,
AS it mirrored the stars of even,
1t comes on the night-wind over the sea,
Where the sunset shadows fell,
1t chants in the meadows along the lea,
And over the stream in the dell.
a thread of this song always hear
When the nights dusky mantle and gray
Enwrapts the fields, the lake, and the mere
And darkens the far forest way.

SONGS FROM THE OHIO.
BY THE OHIO.
BY VIM. w. LONG.


The Summer sun shines softly down,
Upon the Ohio's breast;
And tints it with a golden glow,
While floating to the West.
Bright flowers bloom upon its banks,
In colors rich and rare.
And on its calm and limpid breast,
Glides Summers's purest air.
Its banks are clothed in living green.
Its beach with sands Of gold,
Its mountains reach toward the sky,
In Natures grandest mould.
And by It's side 1 love to stray,
AS daylight softly dies;
And watch the stars as one by one,
They gem the evening skies.
Willo,o Glen, Banks of the Ohio, 1873.

have they lain hidden for some time
that their very existence almost has
been ignored. But they have been
slowly collecting venom, and arc now
ready to spring their rattlcs and
strike. On Saturday, the 18th inst,
Radical leaders assembled from all
portions Of the county in Winnsboro
and held a conference, to devise plans
for the campaign. They want Il mixed
ticket, hoping thereby to distract the
Democrats, and they arc going to
make u rally and Il heavy rally at the
polls. They think their chances arc
better in Fairfield than in Luurcna,
Marion, Ncwberry, Union, Kcrshaw
or other counties, in which either
mixed or solid Radical tickets have
been nominated. BY mixed, we mean
tickets having persons, once Demo-
Gratis, who arc willing to sell out to
Radicalism. They cannot possibly
succeed here, except in one contill-
gcncy-if the Democrats go to sleep.
In the first place, they cannot get out
more than half the colorcd vote, for
many coIorcd men are disgustcd with
them. In the second place, an cnthu-
siastic Democracy, organized as in
Fairfield, can sweep over all opposi-
ton. But the Democrats must rouse
themselves for regular crusade, and
not only beat the Radicals, but rout
them disgracctully, overwhelmingly
pitilcssly, so that not even an idiot
will ever think of making q Radical
fight again. AS Saint Patrick in
Ireland, SO the Democrats of Fairfield
must root out these vcnomous Radical
reptiles for al time to come. Let us
rally along the whole line, for fifteen
hundred majority for the whole county
ticket, and an overwhelming vote fol
the State ticket and for Congress.

TIE REPUBLICANS never knew what
all unmitigatcd scamp Beast Butler
was until tic camc out for governor of
Massachusetts. Now, however, they
arc uncarthing every species Of vii
lainy. The latest charge is that he
was attorney for Commodore Farra-
gut, and pushed through claims for a
million OF dollars for prize money,
half of which was pure stca1agc, and
that he received hundred and forty
thousand dollars as his share. Ben is
