/ swept and polished and garnished,
And declsed it with blossoms sweet!
/ was troubled for fear the Master
Might come ere my task was done,
And FASTENED and worked the faster,
And watched the hurrying sun.
But right in the midst of my duties,
A woman came to my door;
She bad come to tell me her sorrow,
And my comfort and aid to implore.
And l said, 81 cannot listen;
Nor help you any today,
l have greater things to attend to-"
And the pleader turned away.
But soon there came another,
A cripple, pale, thin and gray;
And said, 30, let me stop and rest
Awhile in your home pray;
| have travelled far since morning,
am hungry, faint and weak.
My neart is full of misery,
And comfort and help seek.
And said, 81 am grieved aud sorry.
But | cannot keep YOU today;
| look for great and noble GUEST"
And the cripple went away.
And the day wore onward swiftly,
And my task was nearly done,
And prayer was ever in my heart
That the aster to me might come.
And thought would spring to meet
Him,
And treat Him with utmost care,
When little child stood by me,
With a face SO sweet and fair.
Sweet, but with marks OF tear-drops,
And his clothes were tattered and
old
A finger was bruised and bleeding,
And his little bare feet were cold.
And said 81 am sorry for you;
You are sorely 10 need OF care,
But cannot stop to give it,
You must hasten otherwhere"
And at the words shadow
Swept over his blue. veined brow;
"Some one will feed and clothe you,

But am too busy now
At last the day was ended,
And my toll WIS over and done.
My house was swept and garnished,
And watched in the dusk alone:
Watched, but 90 foot fall sounded;
No one paused at my gate
No one entered my cottage door;
could only pray and wait
I waited tin night had deepeued
And the Master had not come;
He has entered some other door,"
cried,
"And gladdened some other home!"
My labor had been for nothing,
And | bowed my head and wept;
My heart was sore with longing,
Yet, spite OF all, slept
Then the Master stood before me,
And His face was grave and fair:
Three times today came to your
door,
And craved your pity and care;
Three times you sent me onward,
Unhelped aud Uncontrolled;
And the blessing you might have had
was lost,
Aud your chance TO serve has He'd"
so, Lord, dear Lord, forgive me:
How could | know it was Thee?"
My very soul was shamed and bowed
In the depth of humility.
And he said, ''The sin is pardoned

The measure is too lengthy TO give

will be made such as little increase
in the salaries of magistrate and con-
stable at Kingst!ee, costs to msgis-

to be deducted from coron er's salary
which is increased to small extent,
etc.
We have some measures in soak

be mentioned the creation Of some

old ones, a restriction on patent

Capt Gordon was one of the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens of
Williamsburg county. We are in
debted to a friend for the following
synopsis of his life:
David. Erwin Gordon was born
October 2, 1882, and died January
%. 1904, aged u years, 8 months
and 20 days. He was graduated
from Davidson College, n. G., in
1853, with second honor. He was
married twice-frst to Miss Esther
Mcknight in 1854. and in 1869 to
Miss Mary H Npttles, VIII, survives
him. He leaves three children bv
his first marriage and four by his
second. having lost two children Of
each marriage He also leaves IA
grandchildren.
AT the outbreak of the Confed-
crate wal he was among the first to
offer his services to his country. He
first entered Col Blanding's regiment
and was subsequently, transferred to
Gen NJ c Buffers Cavalry. He was
a brave and splendid soldier. He
was captured and kept a prisoner for
IA months, first at Point Lookout
and afterwards at Ft ;elaware. While
held prisoner he was selected as
one of the officers to be retaliated
up by being placed between the
Federal and Confederate batteries on
Morris Island, hear Charleston.
There he remained under fire for
nearly two months. He was removed
from there to Ft Pulaski near the
mouth of the Savannah river, and
there made to bear measures of retail
alton for the alleged maltreatment Of
Federal prisoners confined at Ander-
sonSille, and was fed on rotten corn
meal for two months. He finally
reached home in July, 1865, having
been mercifully spared notwith-
standing the great hardshlps that he
was called upon to bear.
His life as a citizen was as exem-
plary as that of the soldier. He held
the office of magistrate off and on
81 twenty years and made an ex-
