LIFFS MYSTERIES.
BY BERTHE VALERIE.

There is language not born Of words,
A lesson untold by pen;
A hidden page in every life,
Turned down from the idle gaze Of men.
There is music not drawn from chords,
The human hand strikes on the Tyre,
A mystic, uncertain thread of song,
That thrills us with its potent fire.
There is law to us unknown
A power that words fail to define;
That binds like iron bands the will,
Yet gently leads the straying mind.
But life is full of mysteries;
Why should we name them one by one?
For sOho can tell us what is past?
And aoho can say what is to come?

IN MEMORY

OF THE INFANT DAUGHTER OF MR.. AND MRS
LEWIS MccLUNG, OF CLOVER CREEK, VA.
IT'S said, the shepherd on the Alpine heights
Carries the lambs far up the rugged steep
To where the greener pastures are, and thus
Attracts to those Elysian fields the sheep.
Jesus. our great, good Shepherd is, and He
Has borne little feeble lamb away,
And safely housed it in His peaceful fold
Never In rough or dangerous paths TO stray.
A golden cord now binds the mothers heart,
And leads her where the little one has gone;
A soft sweet voice from the angelic choir,
Now whispers, ''it is better farther on"
Oh! consolation sweet, when children die
The Saviour takes them to himself above
Where free from sin and sorrows blight they
rest
Safe in the bosom Of Eternal Love.
No thorny paths await the little feet
No tears will ever dim the earnest eyes;
And sometime In the Land beyond the stars
Gods hand Will reunite the broken ties.

RIOT AND LOSS OF LIFE IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

At Lancaster, South Carolina, last
week, a riot occurred at a Republican
Greenback meeting. Col. B. G. Cash,
who murdered Col. William L. Shannon
in a duel in July, 1880, and is now an
Independent Candidate for Congress,
with the endorsement of the Republi-
cans and Greenbackers, was present at
the meeting, and made a violent and
abusive speech. While he was speaking
difficulty occurred at the stand be-
tween a white man and a negro, in
which the white man was struck fear
full blow on the head. Several pistol
shots were fired, but no one was injured.
After the speaking had concluded about
100 negroes, mounted on mules and
horses and armed with pistols, rode
through the main street of Lancaster,
led by negro man named Crockett. As
they were passing a street corner Crock
ett pulled out his pistol, and, drawing it
down on q white man standing on the
sidewalk, said: "TheTe is the damned
rascal who did the shooting" The white
man told him he lied, whereupOn Crock
EFT fired on him, the ball narrowly miss
ing his head and passing through the
coat of another white man standing
near by. Three shots were then fired
at Crockett, who fell from his horse
dead. The firing then became general,
and three more negroes were killed and
many others wounded. The negroes
rode into another street and halted. Sc
rious fears were entertained that they
would renew the attack, and to prevent
further bloodshed telegram was sent
for aid to suppress the riot.
