I Wonder Why.

I wonder wliy this worlds' good tilings

Why sonio should taste of all the joys,
And others only feel the cares !
I wonder why the sunshine bright
Should Tall in paths some people tread,
While others shiver in the shade
Of clouds that gather orcr head !
I wonder why tho trees that hong
So full of luscious truit should grow
Only where sumo may rcarh and cat.
While others faint and thirsty go !
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some,
For others only thorns bo found ?
And some grow rich from fruitful earth,
While others till lut barren ground t
I wonder why tho hearts of some

While others go their lonely way
Uublessed with naught of tenderness 1
I wonder why tho eyes of iimo

While others wocp from inorn till night
Their hearts all orushed with sorrow bore !
Ah ! well we may not know indeed

[continued from LAST WEEK.]
JOHN BELTON o'NKALL.
Jolm Bolton O'Neall, Chiof Justice,
of Sotitli Carolina, was a citizen
of Greenville for many year*
in the latter part of his life. Ho
purchased a valuable farm on
South Tyger River, fificcn miles
above tho City of Greenville.?
This farm, in tho early settlement
of Greenville, had belonged to Col.
John Thomas, a distinguished officer
of tho American Revolution,
and his remains lie buried there.
It was afterwards purchased by
Judge Edwards, of tho County
Court, where he lived for a great
many year*, and died. Judge
O'Neal! likewise owned a valuable
plantation in Newberry District,
which lie inherited from a maternal
uncle, af'er whom lie was
named. He resided on his New
berry plantation in the winter, and
came to Greenville in the summer,
lie wag greatly respected and beloved
by his neighbors in Greenville.
No public man in South
Carolina has left behjnd him, a
purer or more unsullied character
than Chief Justice O'Neall. He
had none of the faults or foibles,
which sometimes are found in the
character of our greatest men.?
lie was, in the language of General
Harry Lee, describing General
Marion, 4< Pure all over.1' By
nature ho was warm hearted, generous
and confiding. LikeGener
al Jackson, he never deserted a
fi iond, however much that friend
may have erred. There are few
men in South Carolina who have
done more good and less evil tliAn
John Bel ton O'Neal. II is organ
of destructiveness was very strong
whilst those of conscientiousness
and veneration were equally de
veloped. Hence, ho made war
all his life, against evory species
of immorality, dishonor, vice and
crime. Ilis organ of coinbaLivc
ncss without conscientiousness and
? 1 > t
veneration wouui navo made nun i
a dangerous man. But lie had a i
well balanced head, and therefore <
hit* strong developments made i
liiin a noble, model inan, moralist, i
Clni?tian, patriot and philanthropist.
IIis intellect was of a high t
order, and his memory was wonderlul.
IIis industry and perse <
verancc were unsurpassed through* t
out his long and honorable life, in <
every pursuit or undertaking in I
whicji he engaged. I cmco lieard a
gentleman any to him, that he I
had no doubt his ambition was to i
ilio seated on the bench, amidst i
ilie trial of some great cause in <
court. Whilst presiding on the cir- 1
cuit bench, no one ever mistook *
his charge to the jury, or donbted
which side he look m the trial ol 1
a case. IIis clear discriminating ?
mind and unerring judgment saw 1
lit onco, the true points of the case }
rvncj its justice. He never failed J
to boldly express his opinioi ft to c
the jury. In the trial of a slander c
rase at Spartnubnig, ho ssid to the 1
1'U.intifTs attorney after the evi- <
tlencc closed, M It is well for yonr <
client that he is not on his trial for
the larceny impnted to liini hy the
defendant, and for which he ha*
brought his action of slander." I
heard a distinguished lawyer say
that it n corrupt judge wore to
take sides in the trial of a case as
Judge O'Neall'did, he would l?e
shot before he finished his ciict.it.
Bnt every me had such confidence
in O'Neairs purity, that m? offence
was taken at his charges, although
wrong. This, however, was very
seldom. I rcmemlrcr once open
ing my case to tho jury with n
statement of what I expected to
prove, when Judge O'Neall
promptly said, " It that is your
case, it is not worth while to intro
dure any testimony, fur I shnll
charge the jury to tind against
yon." His confidence in the bur
was very great. In returning
from my home in the mountains, 1
called nt his residenco on ?outh
Tvgcr, with a bundle of Equity
papers He gave mo a newspaper
to read some article and begun to
look over my papers and saw one
endorsed, "Decree." Without
reading the bill or answer, or re
port of the Commissioner, or de
cree itself, he deliberately signed
his name to it, and folded up the
papers and handed them to inc.?
11 is love of work drew from Judge
Butler the following witticism :
Going out his room one day in Co
lumhia whilst the Court of Appeals
was sitting, Judgo Butler
locked his door. One ot the
judgessaid44 Why do you lock your
door ?" Butler replied, 44 O'Ncall'j
room is nexj to unno and 1 am
afraid ho will go in in ;ny absence
and write all the opinions I have
to deliver for me 1
Judgo O'Neall has frequently
told :ne that when a b y, he was
placed in his father's store where
spirits were retailed. It became his
duty to play tapster for sometime,
and the disgusting scenes he then
witnessed, made a deep impression
on his youthful mind. Ilis father
became intemperate and lost hie
fortune and his mind, lie was after
wards restored to his senses ami
to temperance; and lived to t
great old age, respected and venera
ted by all who knew him. In rid
ing the Eastern Circuit after hb
election to the bench, he stopped
o ?
rti < n.nci wry inncii lauguea nno
called for a glass of spirits. The
landlord told hint that gentlemen
so seldom drank now a days, he did
not keep spirits. This expression
"that gentlemen seldom drank"
brought the blush to his face, and he
determined never to expose himself
again to such a rebuke so innocently
given.
At his death, the Judge supposed
himself to ]K)Psess a fortune and
made several kind bequests to his
friends and persons in humble circumstances.
But his kindness,
confidence and friendship induced
him to go security for many (lersons,
which ultimately swallowed up hie
estate.
Chief Justice O'Neall was born
in Newberry District, South Carolina,
cn the 10th April, 1793. His
parents were Quaker*, and of Irish
extraction. 11 is great grand fat he
belonged to the ancient house of
O'Neall of Shone'6 Castle, Ant. im,
Ireland. lie was put at school,
when only tivo years old, and
learned rapidly. The first liook
he read was the " Pilgrim's Progress,"
which gave him a taste for
reading, and he read with gieat
avidity everything he could lav
his hands on. lie acquired the
habit of extemporaneous speaking
hy practicing t:>speak every nicrht
after lie ban got liis lesson for the
next day beforo his uncle and
grandfather. In February, 1811,
he entered the junior class of the
South Carolina College, and grad
i- ? ? ?
univu hum me bt't"iiu nunor 01
dint Institution. After graduating
he taught in the Now berry Acad
emy for six months. Then he
commenced the study of law in the
office ot John Caldwtll, Esq , but
Boon volunteered his services in
the war with Great Britain, And
was apjjointed Judge Advocate in
the brigade of General Starling
l ucker. In 1814 he was admitted
to the practice of law and equity,
n* d oj>ened his office in the village
:>f Newberry. He soon had a
large share of the business in court.
About this time ho was elected
Captain of a volunteer company of
irtillery. In 1816 he was elected
i menilicr of the llonse of Repretentativos
from Newberry District.
He voted to increase tho judges*
atones, and was defeated at the
icxt election. In 1810 lie war appointed
one of Governor Pickens'
ude, with the rank of Lieutenant*
Colonel. He was elected the next
rear a member of the Board of
rrnsteee of his Alma Mater, and
sontinned to fill that honorable portion
through his whole life. In
1818 he married Miss Helen Pope,
laughter of Captain Sampson Pope
>f E Igefleld. Iio was again re.
turned a member of the Legislature
in 1822, and in 1824 was
elected Speaker of the House with
out opposition. lie was reelected
as long as he continued a member
of that body, and no one ever discharged
the. onerous duties of that
lliffh office Willi i?ri>nlor ?Kilt??- _
r- ;
lie had a fine voice, and read with
i wonderful facility the worst of mani
uscript. lie presided with great
i dignity, and despatched promptly
the business,of the House. In the
inilitin, he rose to tho rank of Mai
jor-Genoroi, and passed through
? all the grades of olhccs below, from
I that of Captain. In 1328 he was
1 beaten for tho Legislature in consequence
of his favoring tho RanI
dolph appropriation. He was,
; however, immediately nlterwards
elected Associate Judge, and in
; 1530 was elected n Judge <?f the
Court ol Appeals. He discharged
the duties of tin so high positions
with great learning and ability.?
In 1846 tno degree of L. L. D. was
conferred on him by the Columbia
College, in the District of Columbia,
and the like compliment was
attcrwards paid Li.u by other colleges.
In 1847 Judge O'Ncall vriu
elected President of tlio Greenville
and Columbia Railroad Company,
and by his unfaltering devotion
he succeeded In completing that
great work for the whole upper
country ot South Carolina. In
1832 he abandoned the U6e of spirituous
liquors, ami commenced lecturing
oil temperance. His scr
vices in this field were of great
benefit to society, and many a
drunkrad was reformed under his
teaching. The Judge lias written
two works of great interest to the
.people of South Carolina, u The
Bench and Bar," and 44 The
Annals of Newberry." lie
bus also written and published a
, great many political articles, adi
dresses, and orations. Ilis repui
tation as a public speaker and orn
tor is, however, much higher than
i that of a writer. He was truly
eloquent on many occasions at the
1 bar, in the legislatuie, and beloie
i popular assemblies. The State h
greatly indebted to him for his able,
assiduous and life long services in
i the CAUBO of religion, morality, cdI
cation, and all public improveI
incnts. As a Judge no one equali
ed him in the despatch of buainos.
i lie seemed to love to labor.?
Judge O'Neall was a most devout
and zealous member of the Baptist
Church for a great number of years
t before his death.
1 became acquainted with Judge
O'Neall early in lite, lie was a
strong Union man, and *otir political
association produced an intimacy
and friendship wluch lasted
as long as ho lived. lie was a
warm hearted, generous, noble
gentlemen, ever ready to serve a
friend, or relieve any ono in d stresa.
In his manners lie was plain,
i simple, and unelTected. lie never
treated any one with rudeness, but
i received all kindly and courteous
ly. In company he was cheerful,
and agreeable, fond of telling an
ocdotes, and amusing his friends.
At the re organization of the courts
in South Carolina, he was elected
Chief Justice, which litodi niid titer.
?p?" ?""
nified position, he filled fur sev. ral
years previous to his death, with
great ahilty. lie deeply regretted
the war, and 1 think the misfortunes
of his country had some
tidng to do with hastening his
death.
i In the maturity o( his manhood
> he lost in a very short time all of
his loved and promising children
i except one. She, too, preceed him
to the grave, hut left descendants,
who may well he proud of their
, honored and noble ancestor. His
vcnerablo widow, in his own Ian:
gaugo, "The loved companion of
of his joys and sorrows" still survives.

Thrilling Besnfts at the Chicago
Fire.
?*While Madison street, went of
Dearborn, and west aide of Dearborn
were nil ablaze, the pecta
tora saw a lurid light appear in the
rear window of Speed'* block.?
Presently a man, who had apparently
taken titno to drees himself
leisurely, appeared on the extension
built up to tho second story
of two of the stores. He coolly
looked down the thHv feet be
twecn liiin and the ground, while
t ho excited crowd first cried
jump; and then sotno of them
more considerately looked for a
ladder. A l<>ng plank was soon
found and answered the same as
the ladder, and was placed at once
against the buildirg, down which
the man soon after slid. But,
while 111esc preparations were going
on thero suddenly appeared
another man at a fourth story window
of the building below, which
had no protection, but flush frotu
the top to tho ground?four stories
and a basement. Ilis escape by
the stairway was evidently cut
off and lie lo>ked? despairingly
down tho fifty leet between him
and the ground. Tho crowd grew
almost frantic at tho sigh*, for it
\va-? only a choice of death before
nun ? 0}- lire or by being crushed
to death by the full.
Senseless cries of jump ! pimp !
went np from the crowd?senseless
but full of sympathy, f.?r the
sight was absolutely agonizing.?
Then for a minute or two ho disappeared,
perhaps even les9, but it
seemed 60 long a time the supposition
was that he had fallen, suff-icated
with the smoke and heat.
But, no; lie appears again.?
First, lie throws a bed \ then some
bedclothes, apparently; why,
probably he even does not know.
Again be looks down tho dead,
sheer wall of fifty feet below him.
Then he moats the window sill.?
His whole form appears, naked to
the 6hirt, and his white limbs
gleam against the dark wall in the
bright light as he swings himself
below the window. Somehow?
how none can tell?he drops and
CAtches on the top of the window
below him, of the third story.?
He stoops and drops again, and
seizes the frame with his hands,
and his gleaming body once more
straightens and hangs prone downward,
and then drops instantly and
accurately upon the window sill of
the second story.
A shout, more of joy than applause,
goes up from tho breathless
crowd, and those who had
turned away their he^ds not bear
ing to look upon him as he seemed
to amp to sudden and certain
death, glanced up at him once
more, with a ray of hope, at this daring
and skillful feat. Into this win
dow he crept to lool? probably, for a
stairway, but appeared again presently,
for here was the only ave
nue of escape, desperately hopeless
ns it was. O.ico more he
dropped his ltody, hanging by his
hands. The crowd screamed and
waved to him to swing over the
projection from which the other
man had just been rescued. lie
tiied to do this, nnd vibrated like
a pendulum from side to side, hut
could not reach far enough to
throw himself upon its roof.?
Then lie bung by one hand nnd
looked down ; raising the, other
hand he took a fresh hold and
swung from side to side again to
reach the roof. In rain; again he
living motionless by one hand, nnd
slowly turned his head over his
shoulder and gazed into the abp'ss
below liim. Then, gathering himself
up, lie let go his hold, and for
a second a glt-am of whito shot
down full forty feet, to the founda
lion of the basement. Ot course
it killed liiin. He was taken to a
drug store near by and died in ten
minutes.
Josh Hillings says: "Moat
men will concede that it looks
foolish to see a boy draggin' n
heavy sled up hill tor the fleotiii'
ti'casuro of ridin' down again.?
