And she dreams of the days that will come no ino"?:, When the pottage echoed with youthful mirth And the patter of feet on the kitchen floor ; When three little jackets in a row With three little hats hung' on the wall. And three soft voices whispi red low The prayer the mother had taught to all. But the ruddy raye of the firelight Checker a tloor that is silent now , And the mother's hand in vain to-night. Beaches in search of an upturned brow ; And the three little pegs stand brown and bare, , j < And the mother cries : k* Oh ! but to see The three little jackets hanging there. And the three fair boys who knelt by me." But one Hes under thc ocean wave, Down with thc nameless dead; V it! mi Iles in a Southern jrrave God a om; knows the soldier's .< d. But Vb?- day ivill como wiicn thotru'?npei's 'sound Shall waken the dead to life Hindu f ton: the ocean wave, fruu the battle ground, Tho mother knows,' and it soothes her pain. . And what of the youth with the eye of light. The lust who clung to thc mother's breast? Better by far did he lie to-night. Dead with the twain in their peaceful rest. Butter to die in his youthful grace, With never u/biot of disgrace or shume, Than be thus decoyed to a felon's place, l'or another's gain, shielding a guilty name. And never that mother wept, I ween, Such bitter tears fur the boy who lies Somewhere under tho grasses green, Or he who sleeps where the sea gull flies, As she weeps for the one' death left to her lier buhy boy, who waiko th now With the striped guests as a defaulter, With the seal of infamy burning his brow. The Governor has vetoed the float ing debt bill. The work on Kohn's new brick store ia progressing rapidly. Thc Town Council has increased the liquor license 830, making it now 6125. Dr. Barton is to build a brick store near to Dr. Duke's drug ?toro. The WOrk han already begun. There must bc an addition to the editorial stafT of thc JSfews, vide the mule frolic in the last issue. . Wo learn that Izlar & Dibble in tend soon to build a new cilice, on the vacant lot just below Glover & Glover, opposite the Methodist Church. We would call attention to the new law finn of Ta \ lor, Fordham & Law rence. Such a combination of legal talent and ability ought to attract many clients. Browning & Browning have moved their olllcc into the Citizens' Savings Bank building, where they will bc found by their old clients ready to at tend to business. ma?Bax*wia?mmtmimutmtwacMat^Mmt^ttBttm--i'. ^ We * would cull attention . piece of poetry at the head coluro ii, and would say, for formation of thc public, that of tim News is not the author Victim." There was no demonstration here on Wednesday in honor of St. Patrick. We would call attentiou to thc elo quent words and noble sentiments ex pi eased by Judge Keed on that day in Charleston, to bc lound in another column. There is no better indication of the progress of the temperance cause, than the formation of a protective union among liquor dealers. The more unreasonable their opposition, the surer and more complete will be thc. triumph of the friends of temper ance. Nothing that we have witnessed luis so convinced us of thc almost barbarism ol a certain class as tho spectacle of 3'esterday. As thc Gov ernor said in answer to one of the many telegrams sent lo him : "Arc the people to Orangeburg thirsting tor blood? 1 can't understand it." O ?empora ! O mores ! We would call i.teutiouto thc com munication cf Rev. Geo. A. Hough, pastor ot' thc Lutheran church, who has been willi Auld f quentbj since his confinement, and whom Auld has requested to act as his spiritual com forter in thc last trying moments. We are hot surprised that to stir up thc corrupt ions of the past sbo-dd seem to the News "equally unpleas ant as tue sprinkling from a pole-cat." But yet the News possesses a great, advantage, in this respect, os er the rest ot the communily ; for, however foul a breath one ina\ have, it is less disagreeable to himself than to oth ers.

The Ncict of last week, under the caption ol "County Auditors," while venting its spleen upon our State Treasurer made the following, remarks, wbicl ma\? be taken in a reflective as well ai a reflecting sense : " We say to th? General Assembly, put the seal o your condemnation upon those whe have damned us by their thievery and if that doesn't stop them, let in all come together and break theil durned infernal necks 1" If the Newt is absolutely bent upon such a suicida policy it is the duty of all gcod citi zens to submit with resignation. Yesterday thc streets wore crowdei with a crowd of very largo propon iou? which came in to witness thc deal I agonies of a fellow human hoing. Hut thc Governor hail wisely am mercifully reprieved Auld for tut weeks. Auld had himself written u thc Governor praying for longer timi to prepare for death. There is n< hope that his sentence ?ill bc com muted to imprisonment for life. TM: short respite is granted only that lr may prepare himself for eternity. W hope the sherill* will not allow any on to visit Auld except those he may cal for, and his spiritual adviser*. ?Many just to satisfy a morbid curiosity, ar eager to visit thc prisoner, but all sue should be excelled, and Auld sin ni havo every opportunity that can L WM. i ni ?in i diminu? na ? ian wiiM II II un im tm i 1 uffordcd to preparo himself Tor his evitable fate. For the Free Citizen. FESPITED. Upon application t o Governor Chamberlain, William Auld, who waa sentenced by Judge Reed at the Jan uary term of court to t>e hanged on the l'Jth of March, has been respited for two weeks. Governor Chamber Iain's action in the matter is deserv ing of the highest commendation n oni thc Christian community. Not that wc believe in thc too high exercise ol executive power, in interfering willi the decisions of thc courts of thc country, but for the better reasons which follow : 1st. William Auld is an intelli gent man, he realizes the heinousness of his crime, and that, unless par doned by the mercies ol'God, througli Christ, he cannot be saved in Heaven 2d. This preparation has not beer completely made. Thc writer has visited I he prisonei from lime t time ; conversed will him, ami lind that his sentiments arc in tell ?ge nt ly expressed in regard to lin hopes of a pardon. Two weeks maj prove to him an eternity of happiness while if to-day he is ushered into till presence of a just God, he might Ix consigned to a second death. Upoi these grounds the Governor exteude? the time of his execution until thc 2< ?lay of April, at which time, in strie accordance ivilh thc justice of thc law he will inevitably bc executed. Thii i -m act ot mercy, not to thc body luil lo the soul. Respectfully, REV. G KU. A. HOUGH. ls lhere a God ? How eloquently does Chutaubriaut replj to this inquiry : '"There is i God !"

There is soon to be a paper entitled ns above, issued from thia otlice, and pttb 1 lied in thu interests of thu M. E. Church in this per lion of our % ur . Since the unwise removal of the Charleston Advocate, our \M r>. has been enlar ng and extending in th s - ct iou and demands in ul |1 ng for n local or gan. Tlie Charleston Advocate was for two years published in Charleston, lt was during this eventful period in the history ol'our cause lu the .South, one ol the most important auxiliaries of our work. Its removal left a vacant place iu re which has not since been till i ii is an old saying, .* that blessings brighten as they take their Hight." This was em phatieidly true in reference to ur duper tor this coast. Many were taken by sur prise at its sudden removal and were anxious for hs return. Il we had been ns fully advertised nf the wants and wishes of the people in this section, be fore the transfer ol' that paper to Atlanta. Gu., as we were alter it was done, it would never have gone from us. The Methodist Advocate is a good.paper and ably conducted, but it is too distant from I be Atlantic coast to meet our local wants ill this section. Our work on this coast difl'ers in some particulars from our wirk in the Section of All illta, or the valley of the Mississippi. Its peculiar phases can not be met by those who live at a dis tance from us, and are not conversant with the exigencies and demands of this section. The people will have greater interest for Their Own Paper, that lives and sympathizes with them than can be awakeded tor one coming to them from a distance, and managed by com par?t vt* strangers. lt will be larger than the EUEE CITI ZEN, will be Issued 33i-weekly, at the low price of O IVIS DOLLAR ii YEAR rayment Ju advance. <--i. -, ..1,1,.-.,. .vritWI, of our Mmrel !'. tlil.S ;< ' Will '.'O?d* ib'.itt! fO ?'-5 coi- j' Mi ; . if Mi inters of thu M.
