ONLY TEN YEARS.

GaIy ten years Of joys and tears
1t seems not very long
Only ten years of hopes and fears
That to my memory throng;
And as you are standing again at my side,
So fair and so young, my bonny bride,
Now breaks from my heart this song:
Only ten years of joys and tears,
OF merry and cloudy weather,
Have blended our lives together, my love,
Have welded our hearts together.
So well dream once again of the happy days
when
We timidly stood in the morning
With hearts full of love, with the blue skies
above.
And roses our garden adjoining.
and now you are standing again at my side,
So fair and so young, my bonny bride,
With roses our pathway adjoining,
Only ten years of joys and tears,
And the tears into pearls are turning;
Only ten years of hopes and fears,
And now a sweet incense is burning
On the altar Of Love, whose diadem
Now shimmers and glistens with many gem
OF sanctified sorrow and yearning.
Only ten years of joys and tears,
OF merry and cloudy weather,
Have blended our lives together, my love,
Have welded our hearts together.
Only ten years Of hopes and fears
Their passing was fleet,
but their living was sweet
In merry and cloudy weather, my love,
As we've journeyed along together.

Of Mary Dyer, the simple manners and
customs of the sect are rapidly disap-
pearing Here and there, it is true, one
of the "old fashioned" Quabcrs is to be
seen. When Jonathan Chaca occupied
a seat in the senate Of the United States
his coat was of the orthodox cut, and his
correspondents could not please him bet

Jonathan Chace. A consistent Quaker,
too, is Jonathan Chac2, for he, with his
plainly dressed WIFI, rather than deprive
their coachman and horses Of their Sun
day rest, will frequently walk two miles
and more to meeting ;snd return By the
same conveyance.
But the old time straight cut coats are
fast passing away, and even Jonathan
Chace has discarded the drab, and his
black coats, though Of the Quaker cut,
are Of the very finest piece Of broadcloth
that the looms can weave. 1t is with
regret that the public part with the
quaint costume of the Friends, for when

The dear old face, the patient, rayless eyes,
The well known figure sitting in the light
In the old char-and it was no surprise.
Nay, but my soul went out in one great cry
OF wild rejoicing to behold him there,
And at his feet knelt couvulsively,
Fondled his hands, and stroked his soft gray
hair.
Father, dear father Is it really you?
Speak, ease the doubt that at my neart doth

Say that the hour is merciful and true,
And the stern past weary, long mistaken"

A Curious Figure That Furnished Inspira-
tion for n Great Story.
Entering the Capitoline Museum at
Rome, let us devote our attention to
an ancient "stone image" that awak-
ened in Hawthorne the deepest in
terest. 1t is the Faun Of P~raxiteles,
representing the figure OF a young man
gracefully leaning against the trunk of
a tree, his only garment q lion skin
thrown carelessly owe his shoulders
leaving the limbs and the rest of the
body nude. The faun in heather
mythology was a link between human
and brute life, a sylvan creature who
had never known sin or crime. The
sign of this combination was expressed
in the ears, which. YER l~eaf-shaped
and peaked, and supposed to be COW
cred with a fine fur. Here IA a sub
ject that fascinated our mystery flowing
critic. Only a sculptor of the most
delicate taste and rarest artistic skill,
he thinks, could have succeeded in
imprisoning such a sportive and frisky
thing in marble. The character of
Fauns he believes has never been
wrought out in literature, and some
thing funny and philosophical, as well
as poetic, might be educed from them.
1t was this statue that suggested to
Hawthorne the character of Donatello
in his story of the MARBLE Faun," in
which the girl Miriam is also a study

NERVOUS DISEASES.

AS cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in
all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individ-
ual. Ninetenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, arc
dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there san
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind Of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces Of the
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity Of the kind of nutiment
necessary to repair the wearOur present mode Of living and labor imposes
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production of theSouth American Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous
arrangements.

THE INAUGURATION.

The Inauguration ceremonies of the
new Governor were held last Thursday
amidst great pomp and ceremony. A
b; ge platform was built in front Of the
State House at cost of $500, to be paid
out of the contingent fund Of the Gov
ernor, expressly for the purpose of the
Inauguration, and the new Governor
delivered his address of an hour and a
half in length to those present and took
the oath Of office.
This is one reform. No other Gov
ernor of South Carolina ever had such
special arrangements for taking the oath
of Office made for him.
How many people were present we
have not seen stated. Excursion rates
were granted on all the railroads.
Some few persons went down from
Newberry but not great many. We
intended to be present but duties at
home prevented US that pleasure.
Everything passed off pleasantly and
the new officers were put in possession
without any jar.
The first official act of the new Gov
ernor was to put his signature of ap-
proval on the official bond of Attorney
General Y. J. Pope, as he was the first
of the other State officers to go in pos
session.

SEPARATE COACHES.

There is bill before the Legislature
providing that the railroads in this
State make arrangements to furnish
separate coaches of equal accommoda-
ton for the races.
Some of the colored people are max
ing protests against the passage of this
Dill. We have received circular call
ing for a meeting of their race in Co.
lumbia, yesterday, to protest against
this bill.
In the circular it is stated that "the
future peace and happiness of our fami-
lies are in jeopardy" and so forth. We
can see no jeopardy that will result
from providing that the colored people
shall have separate first class coach
to themselves.
A great many people with whom we
have talked are in favor Of the passage
of this bill. A similar bill was intro
duced in the last Legislature but failed
to.pass.
