Nodded and sighed one sunny day,
Ere June had yet usurped the May.
There came bird and perchcd below
+lnd sang the sweetest he did know,
To tell the flower he loved her so.
Vain was his song; she blushcd, she sighed,
But to his singing necr replied,
Whatever strain tho songster tried.
Twas autumn, and robin saw
Hung in the hedge scarlet haw;
Twas dainty to his hungry NAV.
The scarlet fruit was she that heard,

The red breast was the tuneful bird
And often thus, as years succeed.

Lies common wants and mcancst need.

Notes from santuc.

Ma. EDIToR.--I regret very much, that
in writing up our Temperance Society, L
failed to give all of the officers, by emitting
the important Office of Treasurer. Mr.. j. C.
Sartor was elected 10 that office. 1t was au
oversight on my part. aud l hope the
Treasurer and the Order generally, will
pardon me for my negligence.
We had another meeting on the the night
of the 1st., and had six new members added
to our list. We have thirty-six now.
The most favorable news know now, is
the two weeks of very fine weather we have
had, and are now having. The farmers are
making good use oft, in sowing small grain,
gathering corn, and picking cotton, trying
to get it oil out before Christmas, prepara-
tory to having good time during the
holidays. Judging from my own feelings,
one can enjoy himself with q more free
and easy feeling, when he knows the crops
are oil housed. And then too, tho folks
men and boys-want to go a hunting, rab-
bit hunting, partridge hunting, SC. The
professional hunter anil sportsman can go
at any time, but the larger portion of farm
ers must wait until the crops are gathered.
], too, have been thinking of going hunting,
but not to confine myself to the above kinds
ofhunting, for i thought that might prob
ably try deer hunting. Now, have always
been very successful in finding q deer"
but the trouble is, / never could muster
up courage enough to try to capture one.

when in few minutes some box cars at

News From North Pacolet

ETA JANE, Dec. 4.--The snivelling man
ner in which some of the Southern papers
and people arc talking about the Southern
policy of the. prospective Administration
is so disgusting that we feel called upon to
say word, too.
They seem to forget that the war is over,
and that, tho South is ON integral part of
the American Union. Why should the
South have distinctive policy from either
the North, East or West? Arc not all one
and the same familyf Is South Carolina
not az much member Of the Federal Union
to-day as is Massachusetts, Then why all
this ado2
AS long as we obey the laws we expect
to be judged by tho laws. We ask nothing
more and expect nothing less. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof"
