affection was deep enough to last even
when Mr.. NJ. retired from trade and the
young gallant had no further excuse for
coming OH business Then there was a
succession of dark days. But love is in
ventive, and in this instance also proved to
be so. HJA
Mr. NJ. was in the habit ofvisiting twice
week at his hairdresser to have his
beard and wig looked after; and on this
fact love built his structure. One Of the
younger assistants was taken into conf
dence, and consequently, considerable
attention wac paid by the young man to
Mr.. Ms hat, receiving it on his entering,
giving It a careful brush, and handing il
back on departure; and in this wise poor,
dear papa became, unconsciously OF

daughter and her swain. -,.... f...-i

The average annual expenses of the
Legislature of South Carolina under re-
publican rule, from 1870 to 1874, were
$s46, sa5 Under democratic rule the
legislative expenses in 1S76-77 were
only $S4, 0S6. And yet the republican
papers are trying to make the northern
people believe that democratic rule in
the south is a curse.

The latest charge brought against the
democratic nominee for vice-president,
is that he sometimes obtains money be-
longing to him by process of law. This
is indeed horrible, but after all it is less
reprehensible than the republican prac-
tice of taking other peoples money
without process and in spite of law.
