OF Cymbra's eyes and Cymbra's sighs
Ye passing heart, be wary
An idle day, and then. for aye
prisoner you tarry:
And o, to you whose hearts are new,
Ye winsome. trusting lasses.
1 bid you look upon your book
When saucy Cymbra passes.
For Cymbras lips and finger tips
Are fit for all caresses,
And Cymbra's hair is very fair,
And brighter far than Bess's-
And oh. her call is sweet withal,
AS is the quails in barley:
But she'd no right, the lovely sprite.
To steal the heart o. Charlie.
For Charlie walked and. aye, he talked
AS free swung the willow;
But now his breast is sore distressed
And sleepless is his pillow
For Cymbra's laugh was like the staff
OF buges blowing parley,
And gin she threw laugh or two
She had the heart o CharlieI

DOING SPLENDID WORK.
General Freight Agent Lumpkin,
of the Ohio River. and Charles

ton while Helping his Road.

Mr.. S. b. Lumpkin, general
freight and passenger agent of the
Ohio River and Charleston Rail
road, was in the city yesterday
and to-day goes to Columbia to be
present at meeting ofthe railroad
commissioners. Mr. Lumpkin was
in Charleston in the interests of
his road and and when accosted
by a Reporter for The News and
Courier said that his visit had
been entirely successful and that
everything was now working for
the best interests of all concerned.
"From the arrangement now
existing with the South Carolina
and Georgia Railroad" said Mr..
Lumpkin, "passengers from Char
lesion may 20 to the farthest
point on the Ohio River and Char
lesion Railroad by daylight.
mean by starting at 40 A. NJ.
they may reach Marion, n. G.
about 7.30 Z. M. the same day.
There is to be no more stopping
over on the way and breaking up
two days in getting to the upper
points of the road. 1t will be the
same way on the return. Passen-
gers will leave Marion at A. M.
and reach Charleston at s o'clock
the same evening.
"'This arrangement will be
much appreciated by Charleston
merchants, for it will enable their
salesmen to 90 into this territory
without such loss of time as has
been heretofore necessary.
'The freight rates from and to
Charleston have been considera-
bly, reduced. The markets of
Charleston are now put in a posi-
ton to do the business of that
territory. Good schedules are in
effect on freights also and quick
through deliveries will be made.
"The up country merchants
seem delighted with the prospect
OF convenient schedules of pas.
senger service. (This, however.
will not be in operation until Oc-
tober ~ The people say that
this will give Charleston the
trade that naturally belongs to
her.
Il am sure" said Mr.. Lump
kin, in conclusion, "that Charles.
ton has not had such an opportu
nifty of securing the up country
trade since the war. The arrange
ments we have made will certain
ly place all the territory of the
Ohio River and Charleston Rail
road within close touch with
Charleston, their natural port"
