The Old Mill-P0nd.

Who is there who has not in some re-
cess of the memory dear old haunt
like this, some such sleeping pond radi-
ant with reflections of the scenes of
early life? Thither in those winter
days we came, our numbers swelled
from right and left with eager volun-
teers for the game, till at last almost a
hundred strong we rally on the smooth
black ice. The opposing leaders choose
their sides, and with loud hurrahs we
penetrate the thickets at the waters
edge, each to cut hisspecial choice of
stick-that festive cudgel, with curved
and club-shaped end, known to the boy
as "shinnY stick" but to the calm
recollection y. after life principally as
an instrument of torture, indiscrimin-
ately promiscuous in its playful
moments.
How clearly and distinctly recall
those toughening, rollicking sports on
the old miil-pond! Isee the two opposing
forces on the field of ice, the wooden
ball placed ready for the fray. The
starter lifts his stick. I hear whizzing
sweep. Then comes that liquid, twit-
tering ditty of the hardwood ball skim
ming over the ice, that quick succession
of bird-like notes, first distinct and
clear, now fainter and more blended,
now fainter still, until at last it melts
into q whispered quivering whistle.
and dies away midst the scrap;ng sound
of the close-pursuing skates. With a
sharp crack I see the ball returning sing
ing over the polished surface, and met
half way by the advance-guard of the
leading side. Now comes the tug of
war. Strange fun! What a spectacle.
The would-be striker, with stick up
lifted, jammed in the center of bois-
ferrous throng; the hill-sides echo with
ringing shouts, and an anxious circle,
with ready sticks, forms about the
swaying, gesticulating mob. Mean
while the ball is beating round beneath
their feet, their skates are clashing steel
on steel. I hear the shuffling kicks,
the battling strokes of clubs, the husky
mutterings of passion half suppressed;
lear the painting breath and the i'm
petuous whisperings between the teeth,
as they push and wrestle and jam. A
lucky hit now sends the ball few
feet from the fray. A ready hand i'm.
proves the chance; but as he lifts his
stick youngsters nose gets in the way
aad spoils his stroke; he slips, and falls
upon the ball; another and another
plunge headlong over him. The crowd
surround the PROSTATE pile and pun ch
among them for the ball. When found,
the same riotous scene ensues; another
falls, and all are trampled under foot by
the enthusiastic crowd. Ye gods will
any one come out aliveP I hear the
old familiar sounds vibrating on the
air; whack! whack! "Ouch!" sect
out of the way, thenT "Now I've got
e" Shiny on yer own side!" and
now a heavy thud! which means sud-
den dampur on some ones wild enthu-
siasm. And so it goes unril the game is
won. The mob disperses, and the riot
GUS spectacle gives place to uproarious
jollity.-W. II. Gibson, in Har9tr's s

The Cloud.

IHc ClOuus
The cloud lay low in the heavens;
Such lifted cloud it seemed,
inst lightly touching the seas broad breast,
Where the rose light fingered across the west
Soft and grave as in innocence rest,
While the gold athwart it cleaned.
It looked such harmless cloudlet,
Seen over the sleeping wave,
Yet the keen-eyed mariner shook his head,
AS slowly it crept DER the dusky red,
mSee the rocket lines are clear" he said,
And his lips set stern and grave.
And DER ever the eve was midnight,
That cloud was lowering black,
D;mmed the light OF the stars away,
Din,,oed the flash OF the furious spray,
As the breakers crashed in the northern bay,
Winds howling on their track.
So in lifes radiant morning
Many tiny care or Cross
Just trouble the peaceful course OF love,
As il the strength OF its sway to prove,
AS If to whisper, my surface may move,
But my roots c*n laugh at loss.
It may seem such little jGring
Only experience sighs,
For, with times sad learning to sharpen the
glance,
He sees the "rift in the lutte " advance,
Knows how fate may seize upon circumstance
To sever the closest lies.
All, me . in the fiercest tempest
The lfe-boat its work may do;
But what can courage or skill avail
When the heart lies wrecked by passions
gale,
When change or death has furled the SAIL
When treason has bribed the crew.
Then watch, oh hope and gladness
Watch for the rising cloud; -,
Sun it away, frank warmth OF youth;
Blow il away, bright breeze OF truth;
For, oh there is neither mercy or truth
Should it once your heaven enshroud.

indifference in the part if the nominations
were made at present, were those who were
inclined to be Indifferent now if they could
not rule So far as he was concerned, if the
majority decided to postpone the nomination,
he would bow to to their wisdom and give
his whole hearty support to whatever action
they should take
Mr.. j. H. Earle said he had at first been
inclined to oppose nominations at the present
time, but after hearing the arguments which
had been submitted, he had come to the con
cluson that it was best to have the nomina-
tions now. The Convention had the right to
make these nomination; the people knew,
when they elected their delegates, that the
Convention would in all probability make
nominations for State offices, and they would
be disappointed if they were not made. He
had no fear of Independentism. There were
but two candidates in the field for the posi-
tion of Governor-Johnson Hagood and M.
w. Gary. He knew both of these men too
well to fear Independentism from them. As
soon as one was nominated, the other woald
fall in lne Some counties needed more time
than others, and it was in his opinion, very
wise course to make the nominations. so that
those who wanted to open the campaign at
once could do so, while in other counties the
opening of the campaign could be delayed as
long as desirable.
Mr.. w. K. Wideman, of Abbeville,
opposed the majority report. He said that
those who were clamoring for postpone
ment were those who were always found,
when the time came, in the front and heat of

1t calls upon all good citizens who favor an
honest, economical and liberal administration,
to rally to the standard of the Democracy
and to lead it to victory.
This platform was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. James Aldrich, of Aiken, introduced
the following:
Resolved, That the Executive Committee shall
be authorized to fill any vacancies which may
arise in the Office of Electors for President and
Vice-Presdent in this State.
Mr.. George Johnstone moved to amend by
giving the Executive Committee power to fill
any vacancies occurring on the State ticket.
Gen. Harllee thought this amendment too
sweeping. 1t gave the committee power
which should alone belong to the people.
He moved to lay the amendment on the table,
The motion to table was adopted, and the
original resolution was adopted.
privilege. He noticed, he said, that in the
report of the proceedings of the Convention,
published in the Neos and Courier, he had
been reported as seconding Mr.. Murray's reso-
luton to make the adoption of the majority
report, favoring State nominations by the
present Convention, unanimous. He was not
surprised, he said, that, during the applause
and confusion which followed, Mr.. Murray's
remarks, his remarks had been misunderstood.
He had risen for the purpose Of moving to lay
the motion on the table. He thought it would
be casting an unnecessary reflection upon the
gentlemen who had opposed the majority vote.
Owing to the confusion at the time, he had
sat down without making his motion to table.
Subsequently, Col. Blue had so thoroughly ex-
pressed his sentiments, that he had deemed it
unnecessary to say anything. He took it for
granted that every Democrat in the State
would abide by the action of the Convention,
and give its action united and hearty support.
[Applause.

Gen. Harlee, in support Of the minority
report, said that while the matter had been
fairly discussed and a majority of the counties
voted in favor of the majority report, very
large minority, representing, he believed, a
majority of the white voters of the State
were equally earnest in insisting that this
Convention should not make nominations at
the presen: time The minority of the COM
mittee opposed early nominations, first, be,
cause it was contrary to the precedent and
usage of the party. Second, that nominations
at the present time would be unwise and pre-
mature, because the people had not had time
to make up their choice Of candidates, as

.srbe Army of Salvation, ,,

A New Haven gentleman in St. Louis sends the following from St. Louis paper as to the doings of ''The Army of Salvation' in that city, E'Gen.' Jonathan s. Haskell Commander of the Army of Salvation, hav- ing obtained Mayor Overstolz's and Chief McDonough's permission to lay siege to the stronghold of iniquity and all sinners resorts in the city of St. Louis, intends to inaugu- rate the war against the devil and his local satraps at the west end of the Court House at o'clock this evening. There will not be any body but the janitor in the Court House, but the General expects to catch great many of the enemy on the fly as they are passing, and 8 big meeting is looked forward to- At 8 p. m. the Army of Salvation will march into the Theatre Comique and occupy the stage. On these historic boards, the ex- plotting place of many famous scene eater, Gen Haskell, who is himself only three years out of the show business, will marshal his forces, consisting of forty young ladies and a number of gentlemen, and an interest ing programme will follow The commander will speak, the boy preacher will speak, and an actress, who was converted in East St. Louis last night whither she had gone to at tend tabernacle meeting will sing and make a short address. This actress is well known here, but the General does not want her name disclosed. The audience tonight will see and recognize her. A drum corps-four boys in Zouave uniform-has been added to the army and will be heard this evening. A small fee of ten cents will be charged at the Comique for admission to the dress circle, parquette and boxes, but the entire upper part of the theatre-the family circle and gallery-win be free to all.
