Columbia, S. c., April 20.-A nota-
BILE murder trial has just been con-

slayer to be convicted in this state
since January.
The jury lis said to have stood ten
for murder, with mercy, and two for
acquittal.

THOUGH THEY FORGET.

Our husbands, ever brave and strong,
Our lover-husbands. Ieal and true,
Who stalwart stand 'twiXt US and wrong,
Nor reck the cost of what they do
For US they love--who love them-yet
They will forget, they will forget
Not plighted troth, nor lovers word,
Not tender phrase, nor deed most KIND,
Not duty's voice, though scarce tbs heard,
Not faith to US they leave behind;
But oft by business cares beset
The things We sent for they forget.
Outlines to urgent last requests
They give no heed from morn to noon,
And oft they bring unbidden guests
At times the most inopportune;
The things on which our hearts are set
Are oft the things that they forget.
The anniversaries year by year
OF wedding days unheedeG go
Those days we hold most sacred dear;
Yet in our heart of hearts we know
That spite of all they may forget,
They love US yet, they love US yet
And tho oft to our grief we find
OR letters pocketed, unsent,
Tho to our cherished projects blind
They wound US most where least It's
meant;
Yea, tho our birthdays they forget,
We love them yet, We love them yet.
