A FIRE in Columbia on Friday
originating on the second story OF j.
s. WiIsy,s store, destroyed the stores
occupied BY >. s. Wiley & Co. and
Raldwin. and most ofthe stock
OF the lseee~Losto 81 Wileys stocl
was saved in a daA~Aa.adit;op
The stock of C. F. jackson was bsdI,
damaged by water and removal
Jno. Agaew's stock was slightly ~
jured. The material of the Reform
Signal was damaged. Total los
(. 900 insurance $4,000. The los
was principally borne by Wiley & Co
and. G. Il. Baldwin, Agnew ant
jackson being fully covered by in
sarance.
We notice that q bill has been in
troduced in the Legislature to renew
the charter of the Guignard Ferr,
across the Congaree, below the Col
umbia Bridge. We trust the charte'
may be granted as the ferry has savet
many dollars to the people of tbi'
county by giving them lighter toll
than the Bridge Company charged
before the ferry was operated. Tb'
bridge tolls have been reduced to-,
level Of the ferry tolls by the eonpe
~tition, but if the ferry is not re
chartered tie bridge Will sgail
rns7r is toffz as Foon as The ..arr'
ceases running. If The ferry
chartered or people should il eei
defence give it all the pattonag'
possible SO as to keep the bridge tol!
ldownto reasonable rates.

The Little Beggar,s Button-H Bouquet.

Twas on a bitter Winters day. ssgs sssa
saw strange, pathetic sight;
Inc streets were gloomy, cold and gray,
Inc air with falling snow was white,
a. little ragged beggar child
went running through the cold and storm:
dc looked as If he never smiled
AS Ii he never had been warm.
Sudden, he spfed beneath his feet
A faded button-hole bouquet:
Trampled and wet with rain and sleet,
Wfthered and worthless. there it lay.
He bounded, seized It with delsght.
Stood still and shook it free from snow:
Into his coat he pinned it tight
His eyes lit up with sudden glow
He sauntered on, all pleased and proud,
his face Transformed in every line:
AND fingered that the hs1rTyfng crowd
Might chsnce TO see that he was fine
The man who threw the flowers away 900
Never ono half such pleasure had;r
Inc flowers best work was done that day
IN cheering up that heggaF lad.
All me, too often we f6rret,G
Happy in these good homes of ours.
How many In this world are yet -
Tlad even OF the withered flowers -

waiting the rising of the curtain upon
the tableaux; for it was suspected that
in some one of them would be found the
victor of the prize.

lifted. Upon couch lay young girl,
sleeping, her lips half parted in a smile;
her long yellow hair, unbound, covered
her ike veil, and falling, swept the

was the impersonation of an exquisite
dream. Who was sheP who could she
beP Four alone of all that glittering
multitude knew, and three women
turned white with enyious wrath. The
man was glad for the little girls luck.
The curtain fell, but rose again upon
