Mr.. Bayard's Sorrow.
With equal pace, impartial fate,
Knocks at tho palace and the cOtkse

With equal pace, impartial fate,
hhocKs at tho palace and the cottage
gate.
A few weeks ago, while this distin
guished statesman seemed to be the
most secure in the enjoyment of all that
fortune and fame could bestow, he wns
called upon to surrender the idol OF his
heart-his most amiable and beloved
daughter. Highly endowed by nature,
her shining qualities were made the
more attractive, by all the delicate grace
that culture and refinement oan bestow
upon the character OF woman. While
she was thus the modest and grateful re-
cipient of all the attention that nosts Of
appreciativc friends oould give, ana tho
precious jewel Of her fathers earthly ioy.
death took her suddenly from among
them, and made hor the ,companion of
angels. This sorrow pierced the moth.
ers heart and it was still. Only few
days elapsed between the times of their
taking off. How must every ray Of
light that now shines in that darkened
home be shaft OF sorrow piercing the
soul Of the husband-the father. It
must be q sorrow beyond the fartherest
reach Of sympathy.
Like other tyrants, Death delights to
smite
What smitten most proclaims the pride
Of power, ~
And arbitrary nod. His joy supreme
To bid the wretch survive the fortunate.
The feeble wrap the athletic in his
shroud,
Andweeping fathersbuildtheir children's g
tpmbs."

ANYTHING FiShy?

Mr.. G. j. Huske, the Superintendent
of Fisheries for the State has sent in his
resignation. It is understood that his
reason for reaigning, is because the
Board of Agriculture has refused to make
the necessary appropriation FOR him to
attend to the duties of his Office success
fully. Several of our exchanges have
limited that they would like to sec full
report from the agricultural department
on this subject. Without going into
particulars, wo are prepared to say there
is nothing tishy in the matter whatever,
nor, SO far, as the people in upper South
Carolina are able to judge, hns thero over
been anything of this kind connected
with the department up to date. The
young people i'll this pnrt OF the country
know nothing of shad except what they
have learned from the traditions Of thoir
fathers. They hear and read great
deal about carp, and see many ponds,
but the fewost numbor, know from OK
periencc whether carp is good for food
o: not.
We commend the manliness Of Mr..
IIuslle in stepping down and out of that
office which he fclt was not promoting
the ends for which it was established
If the department refused the necessa-
ry appropriation, it can, no doubt, sub
NIT satisfactory reason for so doing.
We must remember that tho tobacco
boom should be advanced, for it prom
ises untold thousands to the State.

We're close at the mothers knee.

But the little brown house by the road
Is lonely now and still,
For Robin is dead, and Alice is wed,
And Louie must bide at the pill;
Father is gray and silent,
And the mothers foot is Slow
And you hear the clock with its faint tick took
As you could not long ago.
The little brown house by the road,
From the swift train flashing by,
watch it stand in the quiet land,
Under the quiet sky;
From the time of the golden daisies
To the hour of the falling leaves,
From the time of seed to the waving mead,
And the flush of the rpened sheaves.
The little brown house by the road,
WhenI passed it yester cen,
Sudden and sweet it laughed to greet
My eyes with dazzling sheen
There were lamps in the twinkling windows,
knew as 1 ratified past
That the fire was bright on the hearth alight,
And the children home at last
To the little brown house by the road
Had come Thanksgiving Day,
| And the wintry air. if they felt it there,
| Had the tender warmth of May
| The fathers tongue was loosened,
| And the mothers laugh was clear,
| For the chrism OF love was poured above
| The home in the waning year.
The little brown house by the road
Oh mother, old and gray
Honest and true they return to you,
| The children who went away;
| And Rex, who is off in the army,
| And Archie, afar on the sea,
| Never forget the tasks they were set,
| At home by the mothers knee
| From little brown homes by the road,
The strength of our land is brought,
| Paying their way from day to day,
| Simple and pure in thought.
| The chord of grand Thanksgiving
From homes like this ascends,
| To the glory Of One beyond the sum-
| Whose kingdom never ends.

FUNNY FLAMINGOES.
How They Amused Themselves at til
Old Play of skipping the Rope.

How They Amused Themselves at the
Old Play of skipping the Rope.
They're funny fellows, can tell
you," the captain declared. 81 met a
man down the coast who told me that
once when he was huntin' on the
Florida lowlands he came upon a
whole colony of famingoes among the
mangrove trees. He watched their
antics for some time-some standin'
on one leg, some with their long necks
in all sorts of curious positions. some
stalking up and down as solemn as
parsons-and he thought it wouldn't
be a bad idea to play joke on them.
80 he took fish-line, and when
the birds flew away he fastened one
end of the line to the root of tree
and climbed with the other end up into
another tree.
Before long the birds came back,
and then the fun began. AS soon as
one or two stepped across the line, the
man in the tree gave it a pull, and the
tlamingoes began hoppin' and trippin'
and daucin' about, now fallin' down,
now jumpin' across and really seemin'
to enjoy it immensely. He actually
had 'em all a-skippin' rope. and there 8
no tellin' how long they'd "a kept it
up if it hadn't been so very funny that
my friend couldn't help laughin' out
loud; that frightened them oil. That
may seem a rather brisk story" said
Captain Sam; "but from what I've
seen of my specimen, | fully believe it. :"

Number of Alpine Glaciers.

According to Prof. Helm, of Zurich, the
total number of glaciers in the Alps is 1,155,
of which 249 have length of more than
1900 meters. OF this number the French
Alps contain IA, those of Italy rs, of
Switzerland All and of Austria 462. The
total superficial area of these glaciers is
between 5000 and 1900 square kilometers,
those of Switzerland amounting to 1889
zilometers. The greatest length is reached
by the Aletsch glacier, which is "a kilom-
eters long. AS to thickness, it will be re-
membered that Agassiz, when measuring a
crevass in the Aar glacier, did not reach
the bottom at 260 meters, and that he cal
culated the depth of the bed of ice at GER
tain point of this glacier at 400 METERS

LOSS OE MEMORY.
One of the Worst Features in Cases of
This Kind.


One of the Worst Features in Cases of
This Kind.
The loss of memory in the aged is a
familiar example, says DR.. M. L. Hol-
brook, and can only be accounted for
by deterioration of the brain elements
and diminution of blood supplied to
them. One of the worst features of
such cases is the fact that an old per-
son is not, for long time after decay
has begun, aware of it. am now treat
ing case of loss of memory in a per-
son advanced in years, who did not
know that his memory had failed most
remarkably till told him of it. He is
making vigorous effort to bring it back
again, and with partial success.
The method pursued is to spend two
hours daily, one in the morning and
one in the evening, in exercising this
faculty. The patient is instructed to
give the closest attention to all that he
learns, SO that it shall be impressed on
his mind clearly. He is asked to recall
every evening all the facts and expert
ences of the day and again the next
morning. Every name heard is written
down and impressed on his mind clear
ly. and an effort made to recall it at in
tervals. Ten names from public men
are ordered to be committed from
memory every week A verse fpoet-
ry is to be learned also verse from
the Bible, daily. He is asked to remem-
Der the number of the page in any book
where any interesting fact is recorded.
These and other methods are slowly
resuscitating failing memory.-BoS-
