When vanished is this vapor we call life.
And all the storms that vex disappear-
Sorrows sharp thorn, the weary W neel of strife,
And all the ruiseries we feel OF fear
When of the day far spentsa night is born,
betore there dawns dar that kuows no night,
Shall We who see the glory of such morn
Shall we recall. upon that dazzling height,
One touch of this wild warfare of the earth.
The wounds that Scared us. or the tears we
wcpt,
The sin that so beset us from our birth,
The woes. the wrongs, the cares that never
-slept7
Or will there be gap betwixt that Time
Aud this Eternity which numbs tie sense.
As after sudden ccasinr of some chime
A Heightened pause makes rest the moro in

THE LEGISLATURES.

The General Assembly adjourned on
last Saturday, April 10th, not to meet
again, unless In special session, until
the second Monday Of May, 1882.
The opinion was quite general among
politicians that business was 80 far be-
hind as to force called session to per-
feet necessary legislation. Bot during
the few last days before adjournment
there was decided disposition to pass
important bills, but what important
measures failed to pass, cannot be de-
termined till those which did pass, are
promulgated. The bills to enact a
general Sunday law, and to enlarge the
lottery privilege were both defeated,
the latter, we think, very unwisely.
We utterly disapprove of lotteries, but
the evil is moro dangerous and abhor.

THE RAILROAD SURVEY.

We called upon Capt. Dabney, yes
terday, at his Office In the Monroe
House, and found the Captain and his
assistants busy completing the maps of
the recent survey. This work will be
accomplished, the Captain thinks,
within ten days, when he will proceed
to locate the line to Arcadia. Capt.
Dabney feels assured that his return
survey from Arcadia saves 25 per cent
In grading, I Of q mile In distance, and
great deal in curvature over the old
Bonner direct line from the same point.
Capt. Dabney met the President of the
road, Col. Richardson, a few days ago,
and was assured by him that work
would certainly be begun on the divi-
sion west of the Ouachita this summer,
and that repairs on the eastern divi-
sion would go on at the same time.

NO LIBRARY.

We are In receipt of the following
from Gen. King:

Washington, d. c., March 20, 1880.
Qzpt. g.. ". McOunie: ....
DEAR SIR-Please tell me II there is,
In Monroe, anything like a public IL
brary, to which valuable books and
works published by the Government
can be sent. The deficiency created by
the Government printing Office has
caused a stoppage for some time in
public printing, but now as the work
Is going on, my quota of books is COM
ing forward. There are some of them
sufficiently valuable to be put in public
libraries. II you have mono In Monroe,
I will ask you If it Is not possible to
organize one, let 1t be ON ever 50 small
a scale, and shall certainly be glad to
contribute to such an institution, my
mite, during my service here.
Yours truly, J. FLOYD KING.
We regret to say that the literary
taste of Monroe has not as yet devel.
oped to the extent of public library.
VIII not some of our enterprisine
young men take the Initiative in SC
worthy and profitable an enterprise
Besides what is offered above, there
are many private citizens here who
will gladly aid the library by contribu
lions of either money or valuable
books.

Gov. Wilt has shown excellent judg-
ment in his appointments. All of the
members are good and Intelligent citi-
zens, either one of whom Is competent
to fill a position of much greater res
possibility. This we say with no In
clination to underestimate what is ex-
pected and demanded of police juror.
That Is a position, just now, of the
first importance considering the abso-
Int necessity for thorough reform and
wise legislation. The outgoing Police
Jury began the good work, and left
for its SUCCESSORS, we are glad to learn,
a treasury with money in it. The new
members have the ability and the in
terest as citizens not only to keep it
there, but to add thereunto.
The new members have received
their commissions, and will organize
next week.

We quote the following from the
Democrats report OF the last days
proceedings of the Senate:
During the evening Senator Ably
delivered himself OF handsome speech
relating to tho new political era in
which we were entering. He referred
to a highly interesting conversation
that he had held with Senator Demas
relative to the burying of the Ratchet
and the letting of bygones be bygones.
Senator Demas he said, had agreed with
him that the peace and prosperity of
the State should be based on the intel
lectual and educational capacities of its
members.
Senator Demas answered In a pleas
ant strain, reiterating the expressions
used by him In the conversation.
