REMUNERATION.
BY CARLOTTA PERRY,

And both belonged to me;
Yet ever with heartfil eyes
The bird looked over the sea.
Within their tender depths
Shone ever wild unrest;
Ever against the bars
1t beat its beautiful breast.
said l will make its cage
So bright and glad and gay,
With all that love can do,
1t cannot choose hut stay.
In vain! With all my art,
Still it was plain to me
That ever with longing eyes
My bird looked over the sea.
Then said, 1 Will hold it close
Surely it is my right
will keep this precious thing,
1fnot by love, by might.
In vain! Though mine the power
10 hold or set it free,
Not mine to hold its heart
That could escape from me.
Then said, Be free, o bird,
To spread your beautiful wings,
Who cares for soug, unless
It's also the heart that sings!
For the glance of eyes that shine,
If shining they also rove.
For the snowiest breast, if meier
1t beat with the pulse of love?
Wide opened tho door;
But l turned my face away,
For men are weak sometimes,
Whatever the world may say.
A thrill of joy rang ont
From happy, songful breast
A flash of wings alas!
My heart told all the rest.
My bird will never come back;
Yet why should l weep or sigh,
If only the thing love
Has entered it's native sky?
Twill never come back, l know;
But who, his love to prove,
Is willing to be forgot,
Stands on the hri"hts of owe.

the only place in which this com

only among those to whom they are
suited, and for some reason ministers
seldom prepare discourses that can
be relished by the more valuable
class of young men. Theological
systems and deductions over which
ministers themselves disagree with

nil preaching, and the precepts and
life of the Founder of Christianity
seem of far less consequence than
the theories that men have based

The adjoining ones can be most prof

Vengeance Wrecked BY Moonshiners Upon q
Comrade who Betrayed Them.
A party of deputy United States mar
shals left Greenville, 8. c., to execute
warrants against a gang of moonshiners in
the Saluda mountains. When in the
neighborhood of Peter Mountain the
squad divided, and o. F. Hightower, their
guide, after continuing some distance
with one portion of the squad was left in
charge of the buggies in which they were
travelling "A shot and cries of ofdistress being
heard tho party reassembled, and it was
found that Hightower had been shot
while walking on the side of the mountain.
The bullet entered his right side just
above the hip, and passed through his
body. He died in four bours. The shoot
ing is believed to have been done by
Marion Watson, noted outlaw, who is
reported to be the leader of a baud of
mOonshiners, armed and equipped for de-
termined war on all government officers.
An overcoat found near the spot where
tho shooting occurred has been identified
as Watson's. Watson's illicit still was
raided, and had just been removed.
Hightower is an old mooushiner, against
whom a number of serious charges are
pending in the United States court. He
has recently turned spy, and informed
against other moonshiners, seeking in this
way to expiate his own 0ffenses, and thus
he incurred their bitter enmity.
