A PSlanc OF Life

There is but little in life to live for,
The world is a hollow mockery full
of troubles, trials and bad piano
players.
We 60 forth in the morning full of
hope and come home at night full of
bad whiskey.
We dabble in politics and bet al
our wealth on the leading man, and
the other fellow getteth elected and
we are left to mourn.
We marry for wealth, and our girls
old man assigns.
We deny ourselves many things in
order to lay up some cash in the bank,
and the cashier feeth unto Canada.
And in an evil hour when we dream
not of it the merchant presenteth a
bill for our wife's new bonnet, and the
farm and the stock goeth under mort
gage to pay it.
Woe unto man! Of how little
consequence is his joy.
In fancy he is full of collie and
catnip, and in youth he goeth about
with q thorn in his heel.
In the evening Of life he lieth
down full Of rheumatism, aches and
ante-bilious pills.
The places that once knew him
know him now only by the promis,
sorry notes and accounts he has left
unpaid. And this is the end of man.
In youth he dances into the ring
eager to knock somebody out, but the
first thing he knoweth he is orna-
mented with a black eye,
He cometh forth in black raiment
and a standing collar, and at noon
time he goeth about with one suspen-
der and with the seat of his pants
patched with an old sock.
He carrieth torch in the process
sion, and whoopeth it up for his
party, and behold the man who staid
at home is appointed to Office.
Such is the career of man.
Lo! in an hour when be dreametn
not Of it, breechy mule kicketh him
athwart the center, and he dieth.

An Editor Unmasks--His name
. not Henley but Hearn.

The last issue of the Wadesboro'
Intelligencer, says the Charlotte OBJ
server, contains a three column &C.
count Of the life Of its editor, who
has heretofore been known as S. W.
Henley, but whose real name sgiven
as Sperry W. Hearn. His story con-
densed, is, that he is q native of Tap
pabannock, Va, and began life in
that town as q compositor in the Office
Of the Essex Gazette. He fell in
love with school girl and after pay
ing her attention for some time. he
was snubbed By the girl, who be-
slowed her favors upon a rival in the
person Of Northerner. Hearn made
an attempt at suicide, which was frus-
trated by friends, and after vainly
seeking to draw his rival into duel,
he decided to exile himself from his
native town and people. He slipped
away from Tappahannock, assumed
the name of S. W. Henley, and after
wandering about for several years, f.
nally drifted to Wadesboro', where
he established the Intelligencer, and
had worn his mask successfully until
he revealed his romance last week.
The people of his native town had
believed him to be dead for long
time past. This revelation was part
ly brought about by a controversy
which has been waged for some time
past between the Times and the In
telligencer and was published to fore
stall publicationin the Times. Mr.
Hearn has evidently endeavored to
make clean breast, and gives the
names many Virginians who can be
referred to by the incredulous. HaV-
ing thrown off his mask and revealed
his whereabouts, Mr.. Hearn an
nounces his intention of shortly pay
ing a visit to his old friends in Tap
pahannoek.

New York Justice.

The New York prosecuting sttor.
eyis working like two Trojans to
convict Holland, the murderer of
Davis, the sawdust swindler; but
'sThe" Davis, VINO is a self-eonfessed
professional swindler, is not prose-
cuted at all. Even if ssThen Davis
was indicted, he would probably not
be convicted. He has the $4,000 in
genuine money which was used as q
decoy. There is little story going
the rounds that is very aiuch to the
point. A man who had been In
dicted said to prominent lawyer:
Il know Eve not got much of
defeuse, but I've got money
''How much have you gots'
Give got $4,000"
"You will never get into the peni-
tentiary as long as you've got that
much money
The lawyer was right. It was only
after the lawyer had acquired The
$4,000, and the accused mad no more
that he got justice done him.
AS long as "The'' Davis has $4,000
it is no use thinking about furnishing
him, so the New York prosecuting
attorney thinks. .-Siftings.

That Census Matter.

We have no hesitation in saying
that we think the Legislature made
mistake in not providing for taking
the census. Nor in saying that the
inequalities in representation ought
to be corrected. But we fail to see
why this failure on the part of The.
Legislature to discharge its duty
should be made the ground or the oc.
casion for infaming the feeling Of
one section of the State against an-
other. Unhappily there Goes exist
in the State feeling of "up country
and Glow country" This is to be
deplored and healed rather than aug.
mented. In the discussion of this
census question, it strikes US that it Z
is immaterial whether the sup or the
Glow" country prevented the passage
of the proper law for carrying out the
mandate of the Constitution. AS
matter of fact, Major Braw.
ley in his letter to the editor Of
the Medium shows that the Eaem-
bers from the lower counties were
no more responsible for the fail
ure to pass the census bill than those
from other sections. This feeling of
sectionalism We think ought to be
deprecated. The interests Of ever
section Of this commonwealth are in
dissolubly bound up with those-ef
every other section. Therefore haI
mony in all their relations must b
more to the public advantage THAI
pickering and the inculcation Of en-
nifty.
A frank. free and candid discus
sion of this question isright. with the
view of carrying out the law. SO as to y
give to each county taat representa-
tion to which it is entitled. Expedi-
ents and schemes for apportioning
representation upon basis of prop
erty and population, or in any other
manner than upon the number of iu-
hsbitants, are false in principle. It
is of the essence of the principles of
our form of government that the voice
and influence of every citizen is as
potential in all public affairs as that
of every Of r citizen, whether his
property be measured by few dol
lars or by thousands. Upon shis-
line this question must be settled,
and it will be one of much interest at
the next session-Abbevile Messen.

The Census Again.

Those Legislators WHO defeate
tie appropriation for the Census, di
a far greater amount Of mischie:
than they probably thought for. Bc
sides the bad effect of showing
disregard for the Constitution Of th
State, and the act Of monumental in
justice to many counties, by thus de
priving them of equal representation
in the Legislature, they have stirret
up very strong feeling on the sub
ject in many sections.
This subject is agitated every weeI
by the Press of the up-country es
peciaIly, and the discussion wake:
warmer and warmer. This feeling
bitter and strong, seems to be get
ting sectional. We do not blame oul
brethren for crying out against this
wrong, for we sympathize with them
We are sorry however to see any
thing like bitterness manifested. The
question will not down, though, and
as the next campaign draws near, it
will become more and more interest.
ing. 1t will no doubt be very dis,
turbing element in the campaign,
and whatever of bitterness and dis.
cord it produces, the Legislature
will be to blame. It will be made an
issue in the next State Democratic
Convention by those counties thatnow
consider themselves defrauded out of
their just representation in the Leg
islature.
Those counties that now have an
undue representation in the Legis-
lature will have an undue advantage
in the State Convention in nomi-
mating State officers, and in determ-
ining the policy of the Democratic
Party.
The same thing will be felt in the
Congressional District Conventions.
To illustrate how this thing will
work, as matters now stand, we will
say that Charleston will have in that
Convention % delegates, while the
two counties of Spartanburg and Alb
beyille combined, which have about
twice the population of Charleston,
will have only 20 delegates.
This is altogether unfair, and the
people of the up-country are not
going to submit to it tamel y, from
present appearances.
We would rejoice to see this bitter
feeling allayed, yet, after all, are not
the people Of some of the counties
to blame il this matter
from the fact of their sending an en-.
jirely new delegation to the Legis-
;ure almost every term? These
new men have to contend, to their
great disadvantage, with men who
nave been there before and have beer
;rained in Legislative work.-Ssnater

time to hunt for it and is too proud TO
