"Ah ! I thought it would come to that.

graveled paths, hoping to find Lucille, yet not
knowing exactly where to look for her. hap

where found her fixing up the trailing branch
es of arose. scarcely dared disturb the love-
ly picture, and yet felt she must not be only
an image to me, but a loved reality, and so,
catching the spirit of England's laureate,
whose description of s'Rose, the Gardeners
Daughter" entered my mind, stepped into
the arbor where she was standing, and said -
All! one rose,
One rose but one by those fair fingers culled,
Were worth a hundred Kisses pressed on lips
Less exquisite than thine.
She silently handed me the lone rose''-a
pure damask-and then, still clasping those
soft, white fingers, led her to a rustic seat.
I never could exactly tell what followed all
that knew was that was pouring forth the
warmest words Of love, and she was listening
to me with downcast eyes and blushing face.

''Oh do not ask me, Wilfred. When he
saw how truly we loved each other, lie wouldn't
compel me to pass through the same trials from

Eager the searching needle flies
Around its narrow bowl,
Each course for rest in vain it tries
While absent from the pole.
Trembling, it ever pants for rest,
And till that rest be given,
Roam it will, for it's only blessed
When at the pole-its heaven.
This needle, like the soul, it flies
The whole creation round,
Seeking for rest in vain, it tries
To find it in the bound
Of worldly pleasures, sensual schemes
And honor's titled sound,
In shining wealth or fames bright dreams;
But there tits never found.
For rest, the souls immortal rest,
= Is not upon this clod;
The immortal spirit will be blest
Till it returns to God,
Where. like the needle, there it lies
Content, submissive, meek,
Nor wishes more to roam or rise,
But there al home to keep.
Oh! home, sweet home, the splrlts nome,
Bright mansion Of the sky,
When shall I dwell in thee to roam
No more, but there on high
With all the just Of every age,
Join in hosannas sweet
To Jesus while all worlds engage
In worship at His feet p
Where sin and sorrow, toll and pain,
Shall never there be found.
And friendships pure and golden chain
Will never be unbound;
But love will reign in every breast
And animate each soul,
And all pure joys will be increased
As time shall onward roll.
Thither my weary spirit tends;
1t struggles to be free
From earth, where nothing it befriends,
TO fly, O God, to Thee
"Its life, it's Joy, while time shall last,
Its hope in years to come,
Its shelter from the stormy blast
And its eternal homer

''MAKE 1T ENGLISH. Mr.. Fox, the IA
ther of the orator, Charles James Fox, trained
his son from childhood to share in the govern
ment of England. This anecdote shows the
child's precocity.
While the elder Fox was Secretary of State
he used to allow Charles to read all his dis
patches One day, when the secretary brought
home paper which he had very carefully
written--an answer to be sent to foreign
government with whom England had good
cause to find fault, he gave the paper to
Charles, and asked him to read it. The lad
did so.
''What do you think of it - asked the pa
rent, earnestly, for he thought it extremely
good.
The boy shook his head. Then he looked
into his fathers face then he Strengthened
himself to his full height, and shifting his lit
tie fist upon his swelling breast, he exclaimed
''Oh make it stronger make it-big =
make it-English y
Fox caught the inspiration from the look,
the tone, the words of his boy. lie threw the
paper into the fire, and then sat down and
wrote again, and produced a paper which elec-
trifed the country.

GAN EDGEFIELD GENTLEMAN OR
CoRPsE"- j. R. Randall, the staff cor
respondent of the Augusta Chronicle and Con-
stitutionalist, was on the train when Judge
Bond recently returned to Baltimore He has
much to say of the Judge. The following is
an extract from his letter to his paper:
The Judge evidently considers that there is
something fierce in the very nature of South
Carolinians. He says: 81 once expressed the
intention of making trip in the upper por-
tion of the Palmetto State. This expression
was accidentally overheard by good friend of
mine, who begged me to desst, as the Spring
shooting had just commenced at Edgefeld. "
Another anecdote the Judge tells with much
junction.. 1t is this "Down at Charleston,
one term of Court, Imet General NJ. W. Gary.
In his emphatic and hearty way, he begged me
to 20 home with him and spend Xmas week.
I told him my preference would be Baltimore.
Gen. Gary still insisted, and, as an extra in
ducement, declared that if | would accept the
invitation, he would send me back, at theen OF
the week, an Edgefeld gentleman or corpse.
I finally told him that, under such circunstall-
ces, it would be necessary for me to telegraph
home to know which Of the two alternatives
my family preferred" Likely enough General
Gary amused himself with Judge Bond as
General Toombs, just after the war, did with
the Tribune correspondent.

WEALTH net HAPPINESS.

The gilt-edged skeleton iS 70 more lovely
than one Of the ordinary kind even if it cost
more money. A case of matrimonial infelici-
ty in wealthy family is made worse rather
than better by the surroundings of costly lux
ury which mock the misery of strife, and the
prncely possessions which are chief among the
bones of contention. Governor
Tabor, of Colorado, has the empty satisfaction
of owning more money than any other man III
the State, but he has the dissatisfaction OF
having in his house a skeleton, the ugly rattle
of whose bones is heard wherever his name is
mentioned Twenty-Five years ago Tabor and
his wife were happy young couple in Maine.
With the world before them, they left Maine
behind them and went to seek golden future
in the West. For years their lot was one OF
short commons and hard work. They toled
along bravely until their toll was rewarded
with the very thing they were working for.
Wealth struck them like whirlwind. 1t sud
denly lifted them from their low estate and
placed them on the very uncomfortable pima
Gle of high social position to which they were
unaccustomed.
Somehow or other-it is none of the worlds
business to know how it began or where the
blame was-the happy unanimity which had
marked the earlier career of the TabOrs took
wings and flew away. There is all old saw
about when poverty comes in the door, love
flies out the window. 1t is a poor sort of love
that fits away at the approach of poverty. 1t
never was worth anything, and so it may as
we'll 60 as not. But in this case riches came
in and love flew out. The Tabors were beyond
controversy happier when they were selling
big boots and tin pans to the miners than after
Tabor chad struck it richo and become pos
sessed of his millions. From the thickets and
bramble-bushes of the present divorce proceed
ings, perhaps they look back to the days of
hard work and scanty fare and think what
peaceful times they enjoyed and how sweet the
memory is still. Then they had golden dreams:
Wealth is a good thing if we are prepared
for it and have learned how to use it. But
wealth in itself is not happiness When it
brings the elements of discord, the more there
is of it the worse it is. We are all toiling for
wealth, despite the failures, here and there, OF
those who have made a miss in using it.. Ev-
cry man hopes to avoid the blunders and mis-
haps of his neighbor. Nobody knows who
next is going to ''strike it rich.n May the
next party have better luck.--Phitadelph1
Times.

CHINESE AS FARMERs.-I am convinced
that the average Chinese farmer can give any
civilized agriculturist points on tilling the soil
and still beat him. Not only are the native
gardeners and farmers as industrious as ants,
but they are untiring and there is no such
thing as waste ground on their diminutive
plantations. Every foot of land is thoroughly
cultivated and every foot yields generous re-
turns. They have neither barns nor stables,
and the ducks, chickens, pigs and dogs, in
most cases, live in the house with their owners
Many of the houses are built on the canal
banks, and it was not uncommon to find vii
lage all the principal thoroughfares of which
are canals. 1 notice that all the most beauti-
full spots in this charming Landscape were oc-
cupied by JOSS temples, and people were con-
stantly moving in and out of their doors.
Hundreds of scurvy beggars, many of them
made hideous by disease, swarm around the
entrances to the temples and entreat aims OF
every stranger. They always assume that an
American is rich, but they are unable to tell
which of their countrymen are well-to-do, as
all dress alike, except government officials and
merchants in the cities. The middle-class
Chinaman invariably conceals his wealth and
affects poverty, knowing that if it becomes gen.
orally known that he has large amount of
money he will be squeezed by the government.

How SOME PEOPLE TALK.-MOSt people
talk nonsense when they are idle. The human
brain is naturally vivacious and elastic, hence
that versatility which is always to be found III
men of sense. Sensible people talk about the
weather when there is no sense in talking
about it, Just as naturally as they do aboutany-
thing that suggests itself to them when they
are unengaged. For instance, we heard gen.
tleman say recently, 1--WE need snow badly
Of course, he did not know why we needed
snow, but such were the circumstances under
which this profound declaration was delivered
that the words seemed to come naturally, and
with an hOnestness which proved that their
conception and pronunciation was Irresistible
to the man. This is world of ups and downs,
turbulences and mutabilities and one of the
oldest and yet most reasonable peculiarities of
it's inhabitants is the soul-harrowing, inno-
cent inclination of all mankind to talk about
the weather. And-dO you think it will rain
Precision IN BUSINESS MATTERS. How
many misunderstanding arise from the loose
way in which business matters are talked over,
and then when each party puts his own con-
struction on the conversation, the matter is
dismissed by each with the words, "all right,
all right" Frequently it turns out all wrong,
and becomes question for lawyers and the
courts. More than three-fourths of the litiga-
tion of the country would be saved, if people
would put down their agreements in writing
and sign their names to them. Each word in our
language has it's own particular meaning, and
memory may, by the change of its position III
sentence, convey an entirely different idea
from that intended When once reduced to
writing, ideas are fixed. and expensive law suits
avoided

REV. KRAMER.
Defense of Ills Lecture.

Editors Mt3Higenr6r In your last issue
Rev. q. X. Kramer is accused of 'fllse
prctensc,' "deception, and OF playing il
trick upon the commissioners and people
i'll the matter of securing the court house
and in the advertising of his lecture.
Justice to Bro. Kramer, demands that
l should ''riso and explain" that if any
arc deserving of censure, they may receive
it to whom it belongs.
A committee from Salem church, Of
which the writer was one. engaged the
lecturer, and also the court house for the
lecture, and did all the advertising.
Mr.. Kramer undertook to defend the
Bible against the attacks of Col. IngersOll,
and he confined himself to that subject.
One Of 1ngersolrs strongest weapons is
forged out OF the assumption that the Bi-
bic teaches the eternal torment of the
wicked. The lecturer claims that "eter-
nal misery" is not a doctrine of tho Bible
and therefore 1ngersolrs objections to it
Oh that ground is not valid.
He did not assert, as J. V. +. claims,
that "the eternal punishment of the un-
godly was not in the Bible" He believes
in "cternal punishment, - everlasting
destruction death ; but not in eternal
torment or 'endless misery
We do not think that j. V. f.. intention
ally misrepresented him, but not having
examined the argument Of the advocates
Of everlasting destruction versus
everlasting torment he failed to under
stand him.
Yours in defense Of the right,
J. RIDLEY.
