A PRAYER FOR PATIENCE.

"Oh. dreary life" we cry. "Oh. dreary nfeT'
And still the generations of the birds
Sing through signing, and the focks and
herds
SereneIv live while keeping strife
With heavens true purpose In US. as a knife
Against which may struggle. Ocean girdS
Unslacked the dry land; savanna swards
Unweary sweep; hills watch, unworn. and rife
Meek leaves drop yearly from the forest
To show above the unwaSted stars that pass
In their glory. Oh thou God of old!
Grant me some smaller grace than comes TO these
But so much patience blade of grass
Grows by. contented through the heat and cold.

astounded by the information
from South Carolina that Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin had
rendered their designations to
the Governor, as a result OF a
personal quarrel, and would go
before the people and fight out
their differences. Tillman is
the man who has been travelling
on the strength of his pitch-fork
for years, while the junior senat-
or McLaurin, seems to be rather
too decent fellow for such COM
pany as his colleague. But the
Governor has refused to accept
the designations, and both the
Senators are no doubt glad of it
it saves them the chances of
getting beaten.
