LOVES REPENTANCE.

Love came knocking gently knocking
At the portals of my heart,
And beseeched me their unlocking,
For secret he'd impart;
But laughed to scorn his greeting
And regretted not the feeting
Of his bafaed steps retreating
On their way.
Then again message brought he,
knocking gently as before,
And with conrtly tones besought me
Yet opened not the door.
Mildly Gliding my denying,
And my cool reserve decrying,
He, with low and mystic signing,
Turned away.
Soon the little tyrant shyly-
Without warning as before
Pulled the latch-string, and then slyly
Pushed aside the loosened door.
Though my heat was near relenting,
And felt 'twould bring repenting,
Yet would not, by consenting.
. Love to-day.
Could catch him and securely
Tie his little wicked wings,
Iwould knerl to him demurely,
Tho know hey say be stings-
That is he, I know his knocking,
Twill hasten the unlocking.
All, the little triher, mocking.
Flies away!

WORDS OF WISDOM.

We know not the worth Of
water till the we'll is dry.
There are calumnies against
which even innocence loses cour-
age.
Better be upright and want,
than wicked and have a supera-
bundance.
Industry need not wish. and be
who lives upon hope will die of
fasting.
The fullest and best ears Of
wheat hang lowest toward the
ground.
They are never alone that are
accompanied with noble thoughts.
In refraining from being mean
to others you are good to your
selves.
A year Of pleasure passes like q
floating breeze, but moment Of
misfortune seems an age of pain.
Life. as we call it, is nothing
Blu: the edge of the boundIess
ocean Of existence.
He that cannot forgive others
breaks the bridge over which he
must pass himself.
Success is full Of promise till
men get it; and then it is a last
years nest from which the bird is
flown.
We commence by being in love
with our own thoughts, and follow
by seeking to make others worship
them.
The remembrance of a beloved
mother becomes the shadow of
all our actions. 1t either goes
before or follows.
It. is: easier to dispense with
clcbes when they are not needed,
than not to attach ourselves to
them when we possess them.
Men trust rather to their eyes
than TO their ears; the effect Of
precepts is therefore slow and te-
dious. whilst that Of example is
summary and effectual.
He who is false to the present
duty breaks Il thread in the loom,
and will see the effect when the
weaving Of lifetime is unraveIed. .
He is but a weak man who can
not twist and weave the threads
of bis feeling, however firm, how
ever strained or however strong.
into the great cable of purpose,
by which he lies moored to point
Of action.
Everything in nature INDUCES
IN amusement. The lightning
plays, the wind whistles, the
thunder rolls, the snow flies; the
waves leap, and the fields smile.
Even the buds shoot and the rivers
run.

Hon. Wade Hampton, Columbia,
S. G.
S1R-I have to acknowledge the
receipt Of you note Of the lst instant,
handed me unopened by Mr.. 9. Me-
Kinley, few moments ago, after my
return from the West. | had this
morning read what purported to be
an extract of a speech made by you,
published in the Charleston Nea0s and
Courier, and, upon your general repu-
tation as a gentleman, had denied that
you had made such a speech or written
such a letter as is attributed to you io
that paper. What I stated to you In
my letter of September 2lst, be-
lieye to be true, Notwithstanding your
denial, and it can be shown to be
true by public records and as a mat
ter Of history.
AS you had, long before your letter
was delivered to me, seen proper to
make public a statement Of your views
of the correspondence, I will give it to
the press without note or comment,
and let the public decide between us.
Very respectfully,
JOHN SHERMAN.

which it has from time to time been
Lnorn in tba South

which it has from time to time been
known in the South.
Your power in the Southern States
rests upon actual crimes, of every
grade in the code of crimes, from mur-
der to the meanest form of ballot box
stufing, committed by the Ku Klux
Klan and its kindred associates. AS
you know, some Of the worst Of them
were committed since 1877, when
you and they gave the most solemn
assurance Of protection to the freed
men of the South. These crimes are
all aimed at the civil and political
rights of the Republicans 10 the South.
as I, believe but for these agencies
the very State that you represent, as
we'll as many other States in the
South, would be represented both
in the Senate and in the House
by Republicans. But for these crimes
the boast attributed to you, that tho
13S solid Southern votes would be
cast for the Democratic ticket, would
be but idle 7aporing, but now We
feel that it is sober truth.
While I have no reason to believe
that you or your Northern associates
personally participated in the ofenses
I have named, yet while you and
they enjoy the fruits of these crimes
you may in logic and morals be classed
as classed you-as joint copartuers
with the Ku Klux Kan in the policy,
which thus far has been successful, in
seizing the political power IN the
South, and which it is hoped, by the
aid of the small segment Of the Demo
cratic party in the North, may be ex
tended to all departments Of the gov
erument. It is in this sense that I
spoke of you, the Ku Klux Klan and
the Northern Democratic party. -.
Permit me, in conclusion, while
frankly answering your question, to
say that the most fatal policy for the
South would be, by such agencies as I
have mentioned, to secure again the
political ascendancy in this country,
for I assure you that the manhood
and independence of the North will
certainly continue to struggle until
every Republican 10 the South shall
have free and unrestricted enjoyment
of equal civil and political privileges,
including fair votes, fair counts, free
speech and a free press; aud the
agitation made necessary to secure
such results may greatly affect in
juriously the interests of the prople of
the South. Very respectfully, your
obedient servant,

IT HITS A BIG CRowD.-Tho
following extract from q sermon
delivered recently in a church in
New Orleans will apply with
equal force to the "grand army Of
starers" who assembled about
some Of our churches, much to
the disgust of many: Last Sun
day." said the minister, II was-at
my window, and, looking down
the street saw Z row Of straw hats
in front Of the church. They
were all in single file. And I said
to myself, Under these hats can
there be nothing?' and an echo
answered 'Nothingn Surely, l
unused, there must be something
under these hats-heads, I sup
pose. Then Esop's fable of the
fox admiring = mask and exclaim-
ing "A beautiful head, but there
is nothing iu it, was remembered,
and [ went away. 1t is wrong
for those who call and think
themselves gentlemen to stand IN
front of the places Of worship for
the purpose Of staring at the Ia
dies coming out Of church. True,
the ladies like to be admired, but
this ordea! through which they
have to pass Of being subjected to
the glance Of regiment Of men
in single file is despicable."

Stanley. the Explorer.

Stanley, the explorer has been heard
from. In letter dated at the mouth of
the Congo, september Is, he says that
he has done much work, and proposes
to do much more, for establishing trade
and civilization III Africa. After equip
ping one expedition on the East Coast,
reconstructing another, exploring sew
eral districts, he has come via the Medi-
terranean, to the West Coast, intrusted
with an important mission by the Inter-
national Society, of which the King of
the Belgians is the head He adds:
Il am charged to Open-and keep
open,if possible-all such districts and
countries as may explore for the com.
mercial world. The mission is supported
by philanthropic society which num-
bers noble minded men of several ma
tions. 1t is not a religious society, but
my instructions are entirely of that
spirit. No violence must be used. and
wherever rejected the mission must
withdraw to seek another field. We
have abundant means, and, therefore,
We are to purchase the very atmosphere.
If any demands be made upon us, rather
than violently oppose them. A years
trial will demonstrate whether progress
can be made and tolerance be granted
under this new system. In some regions
experience tells me the plan may work
wonders. God grant it success every
where! 1 have fifteen Europeans and
about two hundred natives with me. It
is too early yet to say much of them;
but most Of the natives seem not worth
their rations. However, patiencel We
shall see what time will make of US all.
and how it will mold us all anew for the
good work."
With Stanley's experience and tact.
and the large means at his disposal, there
is every reason to be hoped that civili-
ration may soon penetrate some of tho
most benighted region of the dark con.

A bystander here asked the clerk whv
he wouldn't take the money with holes
in it. The clerk explained that in set
tling with the Government the silver
was weighed and the Office would lose
money by short weight. Here he laid
down two nickels as change for Rice.
