HER FAITHFUL FRIENDS.

] sit beside my lonely hearth,
The autumn wind signs titfully,
Alone. vet not alone, am l,
For with me are companions three;
Three constant friends, who know no change
Who fondlv keep me company.
Care looks at me with ashen face.
AND speaks with lips OF ashen hue:
al am thy sure and faithful friend,
To thee most closely bound, and who
Will all thy steps through life attend,
And thou shalt ever md me true"
Pale Grief leans closely on my breast,
She lifts her eyes, they pierce my heart;
''Ah, DO not turn away from me,
She signs, "for oh, we may not part;
Time was when thou didst call me Love,
and now, OH friend, we canuot part.
Pain turns to me with angIished face,
And speaks to me through anguisued eyes:
Al am the trueSt friend OF all,
The friend that only with death dies;
Thy inmost heart is home 10 me,
And none shall nearer, dearer be. a"
The rain beats on the window pane,
The autumn wind sobs ftfully:
! sill before the smOulderng fire,
Alone with my companions three.

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who, to
coin phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say, they have seldom if ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, tidgetty and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In the
presence of vigorous, oxuberant vitality they
seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually
fond of frequently dosing themselves. swal-
lowing in the course of the year enough drugs
to stock any apothecary's shop of average d.
mensions. This, of course, defeats instead
of furtherng the end in view, viz the recov-
cry of health and vigor. Were they to seek
it from an unfaiing source of vitality, Hos
letters Stomach Btters, how difere would
be their case. Then vigor would return to
their deiberated frames, the glow of health
to their wan cheeks, their trembling uncertain
gait would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that
grandest of all sauces, would give relish for
the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and re-
freshing sleep would crown the tasks of the

the aforesaid watch there were cheers and
applause. There were four competitors.

EDWARDS Maxur.cruar,e %



Capt. n. W. Cole, the efficient and trust
worthy agent of the Edwards Manufacturing
company, has been contemplating for some
time an increase in the wages of the men en-
ployed by the Edwards Manufacturing Com.
pany. Mr. Cole entered the mill a. bobbin
boy and has worked his way through the va
riou' grades until he was made superintend-
ent under the A. & W. Sprague Manufactur-
ing Company. He is now entrusted with the
entire interests of the Edwards Company in
this city, and is regarded BY Mr.. Edward. a
one of the most Trustworthy and successful
agents connected with the cotton manufac-
turing interests.
Messrs. Haynes and Marley, the local di.
rectors of the EDWARDS Company, after a con-
sultation with Mr.. Cole, favored an increase
OF wages, and MI. Msnley at Mr. Coles request,
went to Boston on Monday last, and confer
red with Mr. Edwards. the treasurer of the
company, upon the question of increasing
the wages of the employees. Mr.. Manlev
urged upon MIR. Edwards very strongly that
an increase be made and made at once. Mr..
Edwards came to Augusta on Thursday.
and ordered Mr.. Cole to make an in
crease and commence the payment of advance
wages on Monday next The advance will
amount to from seven to ten per cent on an
average
Mr.. Edwards, in his letter of instruction to
Mr.. Cole, states tn At in his Indictment II vas
the duty of manufacturing corporations to do
whatever is fair and reasonable to remuner.
ate employees and TO contribute in everv
practicable way to their prosperity. He said
''the industrial system of the United States
has been marked by spirit of harmony and
corporation between the employer and the
employed, and it will be my constant effort to
develop this feeling. Under the protective
tariff system, which encouraged manufactur-
ing in the United States, the accruing bene-
| fits should be fairly divided between capital
and labor No corporation can be prosper
Gus unless it has the hearty Cooperation of
those who are employed by it."
This advance was not asked for by the en-
ployes. but will, nevertheless, be very
gratefully received by them all. The times
have been hard and manufacturing interests
are not paying stockholders fair dividends,
but the Edwards Company have shown de.
sire to do everything in their power to i'm
prove the condition of those employed by
them.
