STORMY NIGHTS.
BY ETTIE M. HoLToN.

A stormy night. All who can tell
Why comes that soul-felt mystic spell,
That makes us strangely free from care,
Yet leads through scenes Of dark despair?
Why live we DER and DER again
Our past of joy, our past Of pain?
Why rouse we memories dark and bright
On stormy nights?
Instinctively, almost, we feel
Our weight Of woe, our weight Of veal,
SO typical of life's great round
Are storms without consonant sound;
storm of wind, of hail, of rain;
The thunder's roar, the lightning's CLEAN,
The storm-clouds tossing in their figh
Through stormy night.
The wind must shrek as if in pain,
Then sink to wall piteous strain;
The thunders mutter rage and roar;
The rain must weep, then torrents pour;
The lightning flash ia widest glee;
The darkness, utter darkness be;
The elements at war must fight
On stormy nights.
Then without pencil, pen or book,
I hide me in some sheltered nook,
And let the hurricane possess
My soul with all it's earnestness.
weave the web of life again
A thread Of joy, thread of pain;
Both warp and wool are dark and light
Life's stormy night
I ope the door of memories tomb
To find fair lights mid deepest gloom:
Bright dreams fulfilled, youth void of care,
While buried hopes are everywhere;
A strange commingling of all
That makes this life one balmy squat,
Storm-tossed betwixt the wrong and right
Through stormy night.
7 shovel earth from grass-grown mound,
While bleeds afresh each healing wound,
And call up friends beyond recall
MY heart makes room for one and all.
My pulses -ibrate as geam
OF home, of lote--youth's sweetest dream
Dawns on my visionary sight
ca stormy nights.
My soul with throbbing pain is heard
AS each false friend is disinterred-
Friends Of the past, the long ago,
Who filed my cup with bitter woe;
Then fondly to my bosom press
The true that lived my life to bless.
I shed a tear DER love and slight
On stormy nights.
I rend the veil that hangs between
My soul and all its fairest dreams
Like reviews on forgotten lore,
I read life's turned-down pages DER;
A grand connection is my soul.
The past unfolds written scroll,
Which / must read without alright
On stormy nights.
But, with the elements at war,
can afford to stand at par
With all that's good in this short life,
Nor mingle more in bitter strife,
But shower my blessings without fear
On false and true, on smile and tear.
Why walk in darkness when there's light
For stormy nights?
For he who keeps a conscience pure,
He who is faithful to endure,
Who owns Him father who can still
The raging elements at will,
Who acts and works with heart and hands,
Obeying Gods humane commands;
Who keeps his soul a spotless white,
Hath naught to fear on stormy nights.

strosity finds no place. Vaults or cata-
combs are excavated in the hillsides,
and memorial buildings of all kinds
erected in retired hooks. More land is
required for this arrangement, but its
attractive. rural character seems to COM
mend it to all.

SUNSET ON THE HILLS.
BY ROBERT FRANKENsrE1N DorY.

Lo! in the west the light is being hid
by intervening I'll, and Nature old
Has hushed those busy daylight songs,
winch were but merry cankings understood
AS coming from the haunts of sun-it hours!
The red glare on our mundane sphere is seen
The glowing sunset shines upon the hills,
While earth is richly carpeted in green,
And all the varied hues which Nature does possess
On yonder's hill we see the fiery gleam-
The dying strokes of Natures portraiture.
Whereat all living things seem satisfied
That sunset brings its darkness and its rest
That sunsets deep philosophy is felt,
AS some great god propelhng mother earth
And bringing to us all grand review
Of ali its happenings and past events
All! quietude is settling over earth.
A dampening gloom is overspreading al,
While milkmaids cease their merry songs
And crickets chirrup in the tall, dank grass.
The lambs are looking at the far-otf hills,
While brilliant sun-tints give picture fair
But in the east the clouds o'erhang our earth,
While from the South gentle breeze is sent
We murmur not that night is coming on
To give dreams and reveries of friends,
For, as we see the swallows homeward fly,
We know they, in their haven, dream as we.
And so our hearts are gladdened at the thought
That all creation is alive with love,
AS when the sunset on the hills about
Gives fervor and sublimity to life!
Oh! praise to all for beauteous sunset fair:
Oh! praise to Him who sends His goodness down
To our great earth, and thinks of us when we
Would wish to rest in quietude and peace
To dream and picture memories of all
The fair, the rare that dwe!leth round about!
All, things which add pleasure to our life,
And make us thankful for our little all!
The beauteous allegory of our life
Portrays the picture CT our gladdened hearts.
Turing coast whereon we wander down
The stream of life, across whose waters deep
We see a sunrise ON the other shore;
1t comes like butterflies of silvery light,
And sinks again upon the distant hills
All, glorious sunset ON the hills of God!

DANGER TO TIE PARTY

Can the Republican party afford to
nominate man for the third term with
such record Of two terms? Can it
i,opc to elect him when its majorties
in Republican States arc already SO
narrow?
|. In Ohio il policd last year only
504 per cent. Of the vote. Can it hope
to carry Ohio for Grant?
2. In Illinois, in 1878, it pollcd only
47i per cent. Of the votc--lcss than u
majority.
). In New York it pollcd last year
only AGA per cent. of the total vote for
Governor and elected its Lieutenant
Governor, with only ono candidate op-
po ell to him, by only 300 majority in q
! vote Of over a million.
4. In Michigan 1t pollcd last ycatl
only 81 per cent. Of the vote cast.
5. In New Jersey only 4Ss per cent. :;
IN Connecticut only lG per cent; in
massachusetts only 800 per cent. in
Pennsylvania even il pollcd only 524
per cent. Of the total vote.
The country isvcry evenly balanced.
Party ties were never SO loose. Can
the party afford to be put on the de-
tensiVc? Can il afford to take Grant
on it's shoulders?
Both Houses of Congress arc now
Democratic. With q strong ticket the
Republicans can carry the House Of
Representatives. With n weak ticket
with the blundcrs, corruptions, malad-
ministration and personal government
Of Grant to defend, the party may
lose more than thirty districts which it
nov holds.
IN illinois ii holds eight Districts by
plnralilics.
In Indiana six.
IN Iowa thee.
In Maine three.
In Massachusetts three.
In Michigan six.
In New Hampshire three.
In New Jersey four.
In New York eight.
In Ohio fom.
In Pennsylvania nine.
In Wisconsin two.
In California two.
IN sixty-onc Congressional districts
the Republicans have less than u ma
jority Of the total vote. Cam they
afford to lose half of this by defending
the third term, with scandals robbery,
maladministration and personal GOV

The third term itself is unpopular in

grave and hazardous import.
But, to give the third term to u man

The Fair was not failure. as ncnrlv
everybody predicted and thought II would
be. To the contrary, IL was quite success.
fuI, even more SO than the officers of tho
Association anticipated, considering that
this is election year. The number OF c-ti.
cles on exhibition was considerably Iar.rer
than last year, while the attendance, espe-
cially on Friday, was larger than for sever
al years past. owing we presume in n great
measure to the reduction in the gate fees
which was sensible change and much
needed Improvement. We cannot aftempt
an outline Of the several departments. as
our space this week is limited, but will saw
that the exhibition, taken as whole, was
quite creditable. IL is true there is NOTHING
to boast of, but we are gratiiied to see thai
the Association is holding its own, and
that, too. against great odds this year. a
sufficient amount OF money was realized
from the gate and entry fees to pay ali the
premiums awarded and dcfray an Expenses
connected with the exhibition.
The only new feature of the Fair this
year was the glass ball shooting, which was
participated in b. quite number of GEN.
tlemen on both Thursday and Friday. On
Friday three prizes were offered, which
were won by the following gentlemen: Ist.

and you are once more quietly engaged in
your daily pursuits, will you allow me to
make few suggestions? We recognize a
principle, controlling principle, in all our
actions, and language clothed in its best at
tire and most suitably applied eau but
faintly describe the one that should govern
our actions in sustaining the glorious victo-
rry won by South Carolinas patriotic sons
In 1876. Well do you remember the struy-
gle,, and historians have exultingly re-
corded the chapter to which our children
will look back as the beginning of South
Carolina's political greatness, and financial
prosperity. View for one moment a solid
Democracy marching against the solid
phalanx of her enemy. Think how nearly
even, how equally divided the members
were; and then, with sober reflection,
view another struggle pending in Novem-
ber.. Can you imagine what will be the
result. Will justice cease to be the guiding
principle of South Carolinians, and will
American freedom be forever consigned to

to determine, and to help to determine this
momentous question. We. as citizens of
South Carolina. should seek 80 know our
duty and then perform it to the best of our
ability. We should deal fairly with all
classes and copditions of men. Our path
way should be marked by wisdom and
moderation. Our spears and our swords
should be the experience of the past, but
our duty the watch-word of the present.
To support an honest and economical
government is tho duty OF every individual.
Then see to it that every man in your neigh
borhood does his whole duty in this matter.
Spare no effort or pains 10 bring about in
November the triumph OF Hancock, who
has gained for himself an cnviable roputa-

Democracy in South Carolina by electing
our standard-bearer, Hasood, and tho full
Democratic ticket. Respectfully,
