Shout the Chorus, Girlsl

Elk.
Tell us not in idle jingle
Marriage is but an empty drem,
For the girl is dead that's single,
And things are not what they seem
Life is real, life is earnest,
Single blessedness fib.
Man thou art, to man returnest,
Has been spoken of the rib.
Not all enjoyment, neither sorrow
Is our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
Finds US nearer marriage day.

A Bit of Most Excellent Advice.


Moscow Democrat.
Reader, when you are preparing to
come to town to do some trading
just pick up your paper, glance at the
advertisement columns and see who
wants your trade. Well guarantee
that if you trade with a firm that
recognizes the local papers as an
incentive to their business, they will
save you the price of the paper on
every $40 worth of goods you buy
of them. The man who advertises
certainly has inducements to offel
you or he would not ask you to cal
and see him before buying.

his tenants sit out on the lawn,
allowed his zeal for the protection Of

discretion, and by following hot
words with hotter blows, brought
upon himself sound thrashing.

show his appreciation of the Common
wealth Journal. During brief chat
Mr.. Foor spoke encouragingly for
securing an abundance of artesian
water there. The well is down two
hundred and fifty feet and after going
through seven feet of quick sand,
quite a flow of water was secured.
Although reticent on the subject,
enough was drawn frcm Mr.. Foor to
indicate that he has faith in the pro-
posed north and south railroad from
that point. "We don't care to say
much about it yet, said he "foi

osition is likely to assume such
shape that we can talk with confidence

London stroots in the Time of George III.
There were certain dangers and In
conveniences walking along the streets
in London in the Seventeenth century.

carelessness of dustman or a chimney
sweep; the custom of exposing meat on
open bulkheads led to many IN irrepar-
able stain Of grease. Bullies pushed the
peaceful passenger into the gutter-it
was great time for street swagger;
BARRIERS blew the -four into wigs at open
doorways, causing violent wrath among
those outside; mad bulls careered up
and down the streets; men quarreled,
made ring and fought it out before
the traffic could go on; pickpockets were
both numerous and dexterous; footpads
abounded in the open squares of Lin.
coins Inn, Bloomsbury, and Portman;
highwaymen swarmed on all the roads;

passable from the rain spouts in the
roofs, which discharged their contents
upon the streets below.-Walter Besant

The Sumter Delegation to the
Thirteen Convention not Con-
seryatiye.

The Thirteen Convention may
have been called by conservative
opponents of Governor Tillman,
but will be dominated and con-
trolled by his bitterest and most
radical enemies, unless there
comes a change over the spirit of
some mems dreams. A promi-
nent politician of Sumter County
was in the city yesterday, and he
told a thing or two about the dele
cation that Sumter will send to
the convention. About sixty-one
people were present at the meeting
that elected delegates. Twelve
men we're chosen to represent
Sumter in the convention, and of
these only three are conservative
anti-Tillmanites, the other nine
are out and ont Haskellites and
most bitter partisans. Such are
the influences that was called os-
tensibly to represent the feeling of
opposition to Tillman among
those who are willing to fight him
fairly and squarely within the
party. 1t now looks as if the
straightouts had captured the
meeting.-Columbia Register.

Revolution the Legislature of
Virginia found it necessary to
protect these gentlemen by special
enactment form the civil suits
brought against them for taking
the law into their own hands.
[See Hanning's Statutes-at Laerg,
Vol. XI, PIP. 134-5. In later times
the mild sentence of thirty-nine
stripes gave place to the sentence
of death, and many lives have
thus closed without ceremony, but
no one ever came to his death at
the hands of the gallant Colonel
Lynch Except on the battlefield,
No CHASTITY body ever dangled from
the bare old tree that has battled
with the storms of one hundred

Sacred Cats in Egypt.

Herodotus says that when cat died a
natural death in an Egyptian house the
occupants of the dwelling went into
mourning and shaved off their eyebrows.
When fire occurred they were more
anxious to save the cats than to extin-
guish the connagration. Nevertheless,
in some parts of the same country cats
were regarded as unclean ani1nals-for
a creature which was considered sacred
in one town was often viewed with hor-
ror as impure in neighboring city.
That was the case with the crocodile in
Egypt, which in some parts was ruth
lessly hunted and destroyed, while in
others it was made pet of, laden with
gold ornaments and waited upon by
priests.-Washington Star.

An Eloquent Passage.

George D. Prentice, probably
one of the most gifted writer's that
ever added lustre to American
Journalism, once said: 1t cannot
be that earth is mans only abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life
is bubble cast up by the ocean
of eternity, to float a moment upon
its waves and sink into nothingness.
Else why these high and glorious
aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts,
forever wandering unsatisfed2
Why isit that the rainbow and
clouds come oyerus with a beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass
off to leave US to muse on their
loyeliness? WHY'S it that stars
which hold their festival around
the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with their un-
appreaehable glory? And finally,
why is it chat the bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of our
affections to flow back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? We were
born for a higher destiny than
earth. There is realm where
the rainbow never fades, where
the stars will be spread out before
us like islands that slumber on
the ocean, and where the beautiful
beings that pass before us will
stay forever in our presence.
