THURSDAY, FEBRTJAEY IO. THE JEWESS. Sly dark-browed daughter of the Sun, Dear Bedouin of the desert sands, Sad daughter of the ravished lai.ds, Of savage Sinai, Babylon .0, Egypt-eyed, thou art to rae A God-encompassed mystery. I see sad Hagar in thy eyes, The obelisks, the pyramids, Lie hid beneath thy drooping lids ; The tawny Nile of Moses Hes Portrayed in thy strange people's force, And solemn mystery of source. The black abundance of thy hair^ , Falls like some sad twilight of June Above the dying afternoon, And mourns thy people's mute despair. The large solemnity of night 0 Israel is ia thy sight. Then come where stars of freedom spill Their splendor, Jewess ! in this land, The same broad hollow of God's hand That held you ever, outbolds still, -And whether you be right or nay, 'Tis God's not Russia's here to say. Joaquin Miller. Prom the. Temperance Worker. John B, Fuicli, We regret that we cannot give an ex? tended notice- of the address delivered by Hon. John B. Finch in the Opera House at Columbia, Friday night, 4th instant. The talented lecturer gave convincing evidence of his wonderful powers as an orator, and the audience will long remember his speech in Co? lumbia. We clip the following notices from the Columbia Register and Ne&s and Courier : iCo?tmbia Registerjj Feb. 5-3 Hon. John B. Finch, of Illinois, the R. W. G. C. Templar of the Order of Good Templars, delivered a lecture at the Opera House last night before one of the most intelligent and attentive au? diences ever assembled in this city. The stage was occupied by the Rev. Messrs/ Chreitzberg and Morris; Gol onel McCullough, of Greenville; John A, Elkins, of this city, and others. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Morris, of Marion Stre .: M. E. Church. The lecturer was ictrodaced in a few appropriate remarks by the Rev. H. F. Chreitxberg. For near two hours the speaker held the undivided attention of the audience, being frequently greet? ed with applause, while presenting, as : only he can present, the horrors attend? ant upon the use of intoxicating drink. It is only necessary to add that those who failed to attend lost an opportunity that is rarely afforded, of hearing one of the finest orators who has ever visited Columbia-aside from the great cause of which he is one of the leading spirits. Mr. Finch's stay in Columbia must of necessity be. brief, as he has engage? ments in other portions of the State, otherwise it might he hoped that he would again address the citizens of the capital city. Among the audience were the young ladies of the Columbia Female College - and some of Columbia's leading citizens. \Coh^abia Cor. Sews and Courier Feb. 4.j Hon. John B. Finch of Illinois, de? livered a lecture at the Opera House to-night to a good audience on the sub? ject s>ji ,teaLperanc.e. The speech was the best on this topic that has ever been -delivered'ia Columbia,-differing from the usual temperance addresses. Argument took the place of mere asser? tion and every point advanced was made dear. The speaker said that in all of bis travels he had to find any man who would stand up to defend the liquor business on its merits. No one he said coujd do this for its results were such that no one would be willing to defend it. To regulate the traffic by high license would accomplish but little, but to stop it altogether was the only safe remedy, Mr. Finch is an attractive speaker and kept the audience thorough? ly interested for almost two boors, but he did not prove that prohibition prohi? bited. (While he did not endeavor to prove that prohibition prohibits, he- everlast? ingly knock ed' the 'spots our of high li cense.-Ed. T. W.) Prohibition-Its Work in South Carolina. For the* encouragement of those who often tell us "there's no use trying, we can't do anything'' to stop the drink habit, or the liquor traffic, we clipped the following extract from the Green? ville Dally News, which, while it ap parently takes pleasure in reviewing the fact that it has "fought the prohi? bitionists steadily, and stood against them when they were strongest, Green? ville having given them the first check," now that it thinks the force of the movement is spent and through a suc? cession of weakening defeats, it seems to be down-has the justice and fair? ness to credit.us with a large amount of good accomplished. We wish all oar "foes" were as magnanimous and ss outspoken. We would know better how to Lumber them, jus: where to find them ' od bow to induce them to become friends. if an acknowledged "unre? lenting foe*' can record so much <rood for U3, what should our real friends say for our encouragement and assistance V Bat we hope the Ne>rs is not as "unre? lenting as it proclaims itself. If wc continue our good work it surely will become convinced that we deserve suc? cess. Meanwhile we hope its criticisms always will be of thc constructive kimi, and not destructive. Hear it : "As an unrelenting foe of prohibi? tion principles, we wi.^h to express our respect for many of the advocates of those principles and our conviction that their work has been an active and pow? erful force for good. Some hypocrites have used prohibition as a tool to ad? vance their pol?tica!, pc-cu ni a ry or social interests ; some cowards who opposed it at heart have cringed before its p'>wer and accepted it because they feared ir ; some of its honest but unwise friends have adopted it as a maura and injured it and Christianity by intemperate, fa? natical, violent words and acts. But the mass of its supporters were honest, brave people whose purposes were alto? gether pure And they may review what they have done with the pleasure of knowing that it has resulted in good "Drunkenness has been made more unfashionable and disreputable than ever before; the indiscriminate hand? ling of liquor has been almost entirely j stopped; the law has. been stirred to active and efficient power ; officials have been forced to throw such safeguards around the sale of li.juor that its o*ils : baTC been reduced to thc minim um. ' X XX J "That is a great deal; a very good work ; something for any party to be proud of: it is fully as much good as the democratic patty has done in the State. Think of it, friends! "Something for any party to be proud of !" Don't tremble ! We are acknowledged al? ready as a party, and a party with a record tobe proud of! having "done (up to 1SS7) as much for the State as the Democratic party has done." Now, is it not strange that with such a record some of our friends seem afraid of their own shadows and of committing them? selves to prohibition by word of mouth, or by signature to petitions for reform ? Away then with croaking and fears, and stand firmly and fearlessly for our cause. Reader clip out this "foe's" estimate of our strength and" work, paste it in your scrap book and see how it will compare with the facts which will ex? ist ten and twenty years henoo. V Dont be a Grumbler. Some peep?e contrive to get hold of the prickly side of everything ; to run against all the sharp corners and disa? greeable things. .Half the strength spent in growling, would often set things right. You may as well make up your mind to begin with, that no one over found the world quite as he would like it, and so, in our work for the advancement of temperance in our communities as well as our homes don't stop to complain over other folk's faults, and mistakes, or over your own ; or to measure your own faith and abili? ty by the criticism of your opposers, but summon up all your resources, admit all the uifficulties, stop bemoaning failures and grumbling over faithless members, but cheerfully lift your part of the trouble, bear it bravely, over? come it, and press on to victory, "Sin never rests. The devil never takes a vacation. The saloon is the only business house that never closes the same day it opens. Early and late, week day and Sunday it is sliming the downward path for the feet of the un? wary. It counts the victims by the thousands, yet cries for more. It revels in the haunts of shame, despoils youth of beaaty and virtue, hands poison to the suicide and whets the dagger of the murderer, yet strangest of all, otherwise honorable men will plead for its pres? ence and grant it a place among us." And they will vote for the party that licenses and sustains it.-Southern California Christian Advocate. Something You Heed-Shorthand. "Why ?" Because it will aid you more than anything else ic acquiring knowledge. Because it will serve you in case of-misfortune. "How can it be learned?"
