.A gentle word is never lost,
Oh ! never then refuse one ;
It cheers th^ heart when tempest-toseed'
And lulls VUo cayes that bruise ony. '

And turns our thorns to roses;
It, change weary night to day^
And hope and love discloses,

A geutle word is never lost—
Thy fallen brother needs it;
How easy and how small the cost.
With peace aud eomfort speed it:
Then drive the shadow from thy cheek,
A smile can well replace ;
Our voice is music when we spcaJt
With gentle words te grace it.

A Dal loon Voyage to live '>or»h
•. »*oI*.
An Englishman has lately been Illus
trating his Ideas of a balloon voyage to
the North Foie, in the U>odon Graphic.
His plan proposes three biloons sub
stantially connected together, capable
of carrying six meu, besides three
tons weight of gear, boat cars, stores,
provisions, tents, sledges, dogs, com
pressed gas and ballast. The trian
gular frame-work connecting the bal
loons would be fitted with ropes, so
that the occupants coaid go from one
balloon to another in the samemannci
as sailors lie out upon the yards of a
ship, and the buffoons would be equi
poised by means of, bags of ballast sus
pended from this frame-work, and
hauled to tbe require^ position'by
ropes. Trial ropes would be attached
to the balloons, so as to prevent their
ascent above a certain height—about
500 feet—at which elevation they
would be balanced in tho air, the
spare ends of the rope trailing oyer
the Ice. Tho boat cars would be
housed in for warmth, and telegraphic
communication kept up with the ships
by means of a wire uncoiled from a
large wheel as the baloons moved up
ward. This wire being mailed at
every five miles, would also serve to
keep a record of the distance tra
versed. Commander Cbeyue proposes
that the balloons should start about
May, on the curve of a wide circle, of
known, diameter, ascertained approxi
mately by meteorological observations
conducted op board the vessel, and at
two observatories some thirty miles
distant In opposite directions. It Is
estimated that, with a knowledge of
the diameter of the wind circle,
and the known distance from
the pole, the balloons could be
landed within at least twenty miles
of the long wished for goal. There
the balloons would be securely moor
ed,and when the necessary observations
at the Pole had been carried out, a re
turn wind would be secured for
their return, the requisite fuff infla
tion having been made by means of
the surplus gas taken out in a com
pressed condition. Tbe leturnlng voy
agers would arrest their course to the
southward on the parallel of latitude
ou which they left their tj4p, and the
remainder of their journey, east or
west, would be perfumed by means of
the dogs and piedgsts conveyed in the
balloons.

Primary Elections.
The Abbeville Medium has this to
say in reference to primary elections 1
Governor Hampton favors the pri
mary election system as the only pps-
slble way In which equal representation
and exact justice can be given to all
characters and conditions of our peo
ple. It is the only salvation of the
party and the only sure and certain
hope of our future political supremacy.

everything was against tts, when every "J

almost deserted up- It then made
good its claims to public favor and it
is now onc« more again the only menus
by which we can safely continue in
power and secure to the State tbe real
fruitage of tffe grand revolution of
two years ago. There is very consid
erable opposition to tbe scheme, but it
comes from the army of soreheads and
croakers with which this fair land is
filled—men who, because they used to
run the machine and virtually owned
tbe voters, think they still have tbe
same right to rule the people in shap
ing the policy of their primary meet
ings aufi nominating conventions. The
war brought about many changes and
it is strange that thirteen years after
the surrender at Appomattox there are
still those left who have failed to dis
cover that “tho will of the people is
tbe law of tho land.” It is a singular
fact that the opposition to primary
elections is led by men who have, nq
firmly fixed principles on any subject
and think tfiat first duty of a patriot
Is to get office and having got it to
keep it. They favor caucus if caucus
will advance their own personal private
political aspirations, and they are
against caucus if caucus will' help

One pf the most atrocious.murders
ever committed In the borders of On-
amlago county, N. was perpetrated
Saturday afternoon, nine miles north
of Syrapwse, in the town cl Cloerb.
Mrs. Sarah It- Eden^ aged forty-six
years, slew her own mother, Mrs.
Lucy Duy, nged peveuty-nkie years.
At the tipjp stated Mrs. Day was sepn
by a neighbor to come out of her
house aud sink down under a tree,
Ths neighbor went up to her a'jd saw
she was dying. At that moment the
daughter catnu out of the house and
brutaliy.reiuaiked : “The ilevllieh old
fool fell, down and hurt herself, and
now, her, she’s come out to make
a sboyr of herself.’? The dying woman
was helped Into tbs house by nelgh-
’ bore, who asked t he daughter to ex
plain the blood which saturated' the
old Woman’s garments. Again the
daughter replied : M The old drove
a knife through my hand.”- The
daughter then drove the neighbors out
of the bouse, declaring she would lay
the old lady out alone, and wanted
non^of their help. Some of the neigh
boring women, however, Insisted on
aiding her, when they discovered a
deep stab in the old woman’s back
just under her left shoulder-blade.
Mrs. Eden took the blood-stained gar
ments from her mothers body and hid
a portion of them In the loft of the
house and burned the remainder. The
knife which Mrs. Eden drove into her
mother’s back was fif^hd stained with
blood Aa the blade pierced tbe old
lady It struck a bone and partially
closedon tbe daughtei’s hand, making
a bad wound. The daughter's blood
stained clothing has been found and
there is not tbe slightest doubt that
she is the murderess.

day by a startling and very nearly
tragic episode. Ed. C. Gray, a Colored
man who Las been subject to occa
sional fits of violent insanity, during
one of which he was arrested some
time ago, after a desperate struggle,
by Lieutenant Fordham, was brought
out charged with beating bis wife. He
made some incoherent defence, and
the Becovder ordered blth to be sent to
! the hospital. As soon os the decision
: was announced, Gray drew from his
; clothing the blade of a long ^autcher
knife. With this weapon In his hand,
he sprang at his wife, who was stand
ing ucar. Being seized by a policeman,
be suddenly drew the blade across bis
own throat, cutting a deep gash about
three inches long. Ho was prevented
from repeating the blow, and the
squad of soldiers filed out of the j k n if e blade -taken from him, after
which he was secured and taken out,
bleeding profusely. The wound is
probably not fatal. This Is the second
or third attempt Gray has made to
commit suicide. He has been pent to
the hospital several times, but was
always discharged. This time, how-
everjbe will go to the lunatic asylum
at Columbia.
Present HApRisEea.—The great secret
, of gaining happiness in life is to enjoy
the present. To be doing one thing
and thinking of another, is a very un
satisfactory mode of spending life.
Some people are always wishing them
selves somewhere but where they are,
or thinking of something else than
what they are doing, or of somebody
else than to whom they are speaking.
This Is the way to enjoy nothing, to do
nothing veil, and to please nobody. It
is better to be Interested in inferior
persons and things than to be indif
ferent with the best A piincipal cause
of this Indifference is the adoption of
other people’s tastes Instead of our
own—tbe pursuit after that for which
we are not fitted, and to which, conse
quently, we are not in reality inclined.
This folly pervades, more or less, all
classes, and arises fr&m errors of
building our enjoyment on the false
foundation of the world’s opinion, in
stead of being, w}th due regard to
others, each our own world.
