She. too, was Young and beautiful.
We were school fellows we were en-

And. I'm her crimson curtains wound,
From fevered labor sinks to rest,

And Ustful rapture fills each breast
But mid the wealth Of sight and sound
One golden note love the best

With music throngs the dreamy air,
Clear as when comets sweetest play,
And rich a. wine OF vintage rare,

COME. TEACH ME.

Come, teach me the worth of affection,
The love that will never grow cold,
bliss which will brighten lifc's pathway,
More precious than silver or gold
Then whisper OF Joy I'm a cottage
4 charm that NO lover would miss
And with your sweet face flushed In beauty,
Just meet me half way with kiss
Come, tell me how long must lingcr,
Assigning for JOY YOU can give,
These wears YOU have kept me awaiting
It's hard out of sunshine to live
Then teach me the worth of affection,
While am so eager for bliss.
Aud with your fair face bright with bushes,
Just meet me half way with a Kiss.
Come, teach me the art Of true loving,
And smile when call YOU my dear;
My heart is now throhbing with pleasure
And tcndcrly drawing YOU near.
While youths bright, warm summer IL passing
Oh give me one token of bliss;
just hy to my arms with an answer,
III meet YOU half way with kiss.
When shadows Of twilight are dccp'ning,
And nightinSalcS' songs We can hear,
Como. teach me the worth of affection,
The love that Il constant. my dear

And long fer your token of bliss;
Come. love. with your fond ewes a-glowinC,
And meet me half way with kiss.

reading in holy book; and, though
she was SO young, she was wise and
very good.n One day the poverty
stricken prince paid her visit, and
she received him kindly and gave
him food and clio hing. He wanted
to marry her at once, but she told
him he must first 60 out into the
jungle and see four sights. So he
went forth and what he saw was this
In one corner of a large tank he be-
beheld "a man and woman who had
good clothe good food, good beds
and servants to wait on them, and
seemed very happy" In another
''he saw a wretchedly poor man and
his wife, who did nothing but cry and
sob because they had no food to eat,
no water to drink, no bed TO lie on,
no one to take care of them" At the
third corner were two little fishes,
which were necessarily leaping up
into the air and dropping back again ;
and at the fourth was "a huge demon
who was. heating sand in an enormous
iron pot, under which he kept up a
big fire" The prince returned and
told his betrOthed what he had seen.
She explained to him the
meaning of thespectacle. The
happy pair, she said,
were her own parents. She had been
good to them while they lived and
after their death she had given half
Of their substance to the poor, and on
the other half she had 'lived quietly
and tried to be good" Therefore they
were made happy in their posthumous
existence. But the wretched man and
woman, she told him, were his par
ents, who were in misery because he
had gambled and drank till they died
of grief, and had afterward drank
ard gambled all their money away.
AS to the two fishes, she continued
they are the two little children we
should have had if you had ta,Cen me
to your home as your wife Now
they cannot be born, for they can
find no bodies in which to be born
so Khuda has ordered them to rise
and sink in the air in those fishes
FORMS" Finally she told him that
the demon whom he had seen, was
heating the sand in the iron pot for
him, because he had been such a
wicked man. No sooner had the
maiden told all this than she died.
"But he did not get any better He
gambled and drank all her money
away, and lived wretched life, wan
dering about like a fakir till his
death.

SOUTHERN FOREST FIRES.
The Most Widespread Destruction
Ever known in South Carolina
COuntTaS

The Most Widespread Destruction
Ever Known in South. Carolina
Counties.
The forest fires kindled bv the gale
Of last week swept over large areas of
the counties of Richland. Lexington,
Fairfield, Kershaw, Chester, Sumter,
Orangeburg, Clarendon, Williams
burg, Darlington, Lancaster, Marlbo-
TO, Coleton, Aiken and Berkely, South
Carolina. The destruction of houses,
valuable timber lands, fencing, grow
ing crops, and livestock was the ~ /
widespread ever known in the history
of the state. It is impossible to esti
mate the amount of damage, but it
will aggregate many hundred thous-
ands of dollars. In Kershaw county
the fires were especially terrific, sweep
ing over a thickly Unsettled territory,
and destroying houses, timber, and
fencing for many miles. 1t was with
great difficulty that the fourishing
town of Camden was saved, it being
for twenty-fOur hours surrounded on
all sides by the flames. Large num-
bers Of cattle and hogs grazing in the
woods were roasted alive. Three
quarters of the pine forests IN the
county were destroyed, thus breaking
up the entire turpentine business in
that section.
Three churches escaped destruction
IN a miraculous way. Antioch church
is surrounded by heavy pine forests,
and just before the fire reached the
immediate vicinity of the church it
divided and went around it, joining
together on the opposit side and weep
ing on with its former Jury, leaving
the church untouched. At Mount
Zion the flames acted in a similar
manner, passing close around the
church, but harming nothing. At
Pine Tree church the fires passed I'M
der and around the building, burning
straw, wood and lumber, etc, but do
ing no injury to the church. At
Sandy Grove the fire went through
the church-yard, burning all the fenc-
ing, railing, and sheds around it, and
the cemetery adjoining the church,
but doing no injury to the church it.
self. The damage in Cershaw county
will amount to fully 100000. In
Clarendon and Darlington counties
the damage done to turpentine farm
ers is irreparable.
