Not Long.

How long will We be missed when
we are gone? Not long. The best
and most useful of US will soon be
forgotten. Those who to-day are
filling large place in the worlds re-
CARDS will pass away from the re-
membrance of man in few months,
or, at the furthest, in a few years sf-
ter the grave is covered over the re-
mains. We are shedding tears above
a new-made grave, and wildly crying
out in our grhf that the loss is ire
parable; yet in short time the ten
drills of love have entwined around
other supports, and We no longer miss
the one who is gone. So passes the
world. But there are those to whom
a loss is beyond repair. There are
men from whose memories no wo-
man 8 smile can chase the recollec-
tiops of the sweet face that has given
up all its beauty at deaths icy touch.
There are women whose plighted
faith extends beyond the grave, and
drives away as profane those who
would entice them from a worship Of
their buried love. Such loyalty,
however, is hidden away from the
public gaze. The world sweeps on
besides and around them, and cares
not to look upon unobtruding grief.
It curves a line and rears a stone
over the dead. and hastens away to
offer homage to the living.

The entire rear part 'of the city,
embracing over thirty blocks. was

eight feet, and the people living there
we're rescued only with the greatest

All the surrounding country was
inundated, many houses blown down
and crops destroyed. There is great
suffering in both Matamoras and
Brownsville. In the latter place fully
$50 families are destitute, and in the
former 400 families are homeless and

Afour-masted steamer was wrecked

At Colorado, Texas, the river has

country are submerged. Very heavy
rains have fallen in other sections,
and much apprehension is felt for the
safety of property.

my choise is to cut peavines, With q

lightful work. But when the sun
comes out from behind the clouds, I

now and there is just enough rag
weeds sprinkled among them to hold
them up straight. and from the top
OF every weed peavine stretches its
surpentine tendrill up about foot
and waits-waits for sickle. The
tender ragweeds don't hurt. In fact
they make right good forage, better
forage than John Branson's dog

the war, and they like it pretty we'll

The Charleston calamity is bound
to be felt ipjuriously to the remainder
of the State in many ways. The
destruction of that much property
from any cause would damage the
State financially, not only by re-
ducipg its working capital, which
incidentally Injuries the people of the
State, but it will directly ipjure every
man in the State by necessitating an
increase in taxation. 1t will be
almost impossible to avoid an in
crease in taxation, for the destruction
of Charleston will take from the
taxable property of the State from
five to ten millions of dollars. 1t
will require excellent management
of the States finances to avoid an
increase of from one to two mills for
State purposes. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the State is interested
in no small degree in the speedy
rebuilding of Charleston. on.-fnderson

was concluded at Lexington yester-
day. The action was to enjoin the
defendants from delivering to the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens

of the subscription of Broad River

company from receiving and nego-
tiating such bonds. The case was
elaborately argued two hours Tuesday

Judge Presley granted the tempo

$500 to pay any damsge resulting
from the injunction in case it should

held the incorporating act as valid,
Notwithstanding the error in the Il.

by the counsel on both sides, but

do the best I can for him. How
many. society girls of this day are
content to spend most OF their time
at home in domestic pursuits, helping
their mother? Who are getting
married now adays-the sons and
daughters Of the rich mainly. The
others can't afford to marry. The
young men have nothing to marry
on and are not likely to have. Those
who have little are afraid to VEN
ture it on society girl whose father
is always on strain to keep her big
trunk full of clothes. There are
hundred old bachelors in Georgia
now to. where there used to be ten.
But it is all right, I reckon, for they
had better NOT marry than to marry
and live on perpetual strain trying
to keep in hailing distance OF society
and its follies. But the children are
happy; I am glad of that. How l
do love to see them romp and frolic
in innocent pleasures. What a pity
it Is that they will soon get grown
and take on the deceitfulness OF
fashion and folly. But I will stop
now for I'm gloomy. I've got a sore
eve and it weeps all the time, weep

Carl is going, too, next week, and
then another prop will fall. Farewell,
vain world. I believe I will take to
reading novels. The Last Days OF
Pompeii is a good book for these
earthquake times, I think I will
read it again. But for comfort in
trouble the Vicar of Wakefield is the
best. I will 60 and cut some more
