THE HRYDE.

Whenever read of a wedding,
With bride that is young and tsr,
With the sheen of-lace on her bosom.
And orange flowers IL her hair;
A corded sis, and long square IralH'
& white bouQ ct, aud fan
Maids of homer il pale 81, an So"Ho'
IJsh ,~s. the gyooll, and 'beSt man,
When | read OF the tears ana o!usne''
The love, the VOWS, ana the lluH'
The PRAYERS and CONGRATULATIONS
The blessings, and everything;
7 sigh and sigh as | wonder .,,
What the fate Of that bride VIII ne,
AS she launches into the future
Careless, and happy and free.
Yes. free. But how soon will that freedom
Yield to the cares Of wife?
How soon will the smiles and bushes
Give place to the burden of life?
How soon will the VOWS be forgotten.
And only the ring remain
To recall the cams OF her gi'lEood
That were only dreamed in vain?
Her bosom will hold many heartacheS,
And her eyes will hold many tears,
Her smiles will gro y f-wer and fewer.
Her cares will increase with her years;
The flowers will die on her bosom,
The light will sip out of her eyes,
And the heart that was once full of music
VIII be the birthplace of sighs.
So whenever I read of wedding.
With its sunshine and its showers,
Its leye, and its VOWS. and its blessings,
It's music, and its flowers;
know that the sighs and the heartache'
VIII come to that fair young life,
For she will be neyer-no, never;
A bride again but wife.

To Save Brakemen's Lives.

A circular has been issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
the railroads of the United States
calling attention to the Act of Con-
gress of March 3, 1898, providing for
the equipment of the freight cars on
all such roads with draw bars for
safety couplings and with grab irons
or hand holds to aid the employees
in the work of coupling and uncoupl-
ing freight trains. The original Act
authorized the American Railway
Union to fix the standard for such ap-
pliances with a maximum variation
therefrom. This was done by the Rail
way Association on May 26. The
commission has notified the roads that
the law will be in force after July 1,
1895, from which date no freight cars
not equipped as provided by the Act
will be allowed to remain in use. The
circular calls for detailed report of
the number of cars already equipped
on each road.

Too Late.

It's not uncommon for girls en-
ployed in factories producing mems
clothing to put slips of paper contain
ing their name and address inside arti-
cles, and it is said that some romantic
marriages have resulted from the
practice. \ week or two ago a young
man living near Portland, Ne, found
in pair Of socks a note, which said
the writer was a girl employee in a
knitting factory in henosha, who
would like to correspond with the
finder of the note, if an unmarried
man, with view to matrimony. The
young man thought the matter over,
and finally sent a sweet little note to
the name and address given. \ few
days since he received curt letter,
informing him that the girl who wrote
the note was now married and the
mother of two children. Some years
had elapsed since the note was writ

The, Mystery Explained.

koKoMo, Ind, June 24.-Last win
ter Mr.. Overman, farmer near Wind
fall, Upton county, was found dead
with a pistol near him. No cause for
suicide was assigned. Yesterday a
paper written by Mr.. Overman was
found in his effects that explained the
mystery. The mans letter says that
90 years ago an Englishman came to
his house with S30,000 and tried to
negotiate with him to 60 intothe ranch
business in Colorado. He murdered
the Englishman, buried his body in a
marsh, took his money and buried it
on his farm. The place IS not deslgnat-
ed. This explains the aermltllke lite
of Overman for many years.

8 Great Speech.

= Great Spcech.
The annual meeting of fhe Alumni
Association of the Sou Corolina
College took place in the college
chapel at Columbia on last Tuesday
night week. The Columbia; State in
speaking of the meeting says DR.. W.
T. G. Bates, president of the associa-
ton, INTRODUCED as the orator of the
evening Mr.. 4. W. Summers, brilli-
ant and prosperous young lawyer of
Orangeburg. Mr.. Summers address
was rare production of its kind; he.
spoke of the elements Of manly sue
cess. showing the great Importance
OF self-reliance, perseverance, courage,
moral rectitude, obedience to the
promptings Of conscience, and the
superior excellence of good charac-
ter. He declared that it was only the
deserving who attained positions of
rank and trust in the world. Devo-
ton to principle strict adherence to
the path Of justice and honor are the
cciterions OF ideal manhood. The ora
tor next showed that in the past the
South Carolina College had continual
ly sent forth into the world men pos
sessing all these traits Of high man
hood. From her walls have gone
forth such men as McDuifie, Wallace
and Carlisle. all Of whom have exem-
p!iied before the world the superior
excellence of their alma mater, the
power OF this institution IS moulder
OF moral character and the promoter
of intelligence. In order 10 maintain
Tie past glorious record Of the college,
and advance her 20 Z Wider field of
usefulness, she needs, said the orator,
the efforts ci her young men, for IN
youth there is strength. Some states
laen has said that the welfare of a ma
ton depends upon the opinions of her
men Younger than twenty-five years;
50 this institution requires the aid OF
her young alumni. Competition
among the different colleges is very
sharp, each is reaching forth to in
crease its usefulness and broaden its
field of influence. She must not be
behind in the race. The alumni of the
college should at onceta take active steps
toward the organization of county
associations: there are already
many county associations, bur.
there should be one every
county. The address was highly en-
joyable from beginning to end. 1t
showed throughout fervid patriotism
and deep love for the old college, and
caused the audience to be equally en-
thusiastic in their regard fer the time
honored institution. Mr.. Summers
delivery was easy and graceful. He
is in every sense an orator, and 4
worthy alumnus of his alma mater.
