Patience with the Living. Sweet friend, when t&ou and I are gone Beyond earth's wenry labor, When small shall be our need of grace From comrade or from neighbor. Past all the strife, the toil, the care, And done with all the sighing. What tender truth shall we have gained, Alas! by simply dying? Then lips too chary of their praise Will tell our merits over; And eyes too Rwlft our faults to sec, Bhall no defect discover. Then hands tnat wouia not una swnc Where stones were thick to cumber Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers Above our pillowed slumber. Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I, Ere love is past forgiving, Should take the earnest lesson homeBe patient with the living. To-day's repressed rebuke may save Our blinding tears to-morrow; Then patience, e'en when keenest edge May whet a nameless sorrow. 'Tis easy to be gentle when Death's silence claims our clamor, And easy to discern the best Through memory's mystic clamor; But wise it were for thee and me, Ere love Is past forgiving. To take the tender lesson homeBe patient with the living. Romance in Finance. A few days since a press dispatch was sent over the country headed "Romance of Finance." The marvel was that a Southern uian could be found who was so indiscreet as to haud over to a "Connecticut capitalist" a million or so of dollars of trust money. They didn't seem to know that that is just the way we do things down South. Some of us old folks knew at once that A* 4iKnnlr WflS IIOilG IJJfc) " OUUtUCIU uuvu other than Mr. George \V. Williams, of Charleston, and that the capitalist was Mr. Daniel Hand, of Connecticut. Telegrams came thick and fast from the north asking for the particulars of. the transaction. It seems that Mr. Williams did not think that he had done anything to excite such a flutter in finance; lie had merely faithfully fulftlled a war trust. But to begin at the beginning: Nearly half a century . ago Mr. Daniel Hand was a merchant in Augusta, Ga. Mr. George W. Williams, a boy of 17, from Nacoochee, Ga., visited that city and was employed by Mr. Hand as clerk in his establishment. So faithful and diligent was the mountain boy that at the age of 21 he was made full partner?and then and there was laid the foundation of Mr. Hand's fortune of two million dollars. In 1852 Mr. Williams removed to Charleston and established on Hayne street the mammoth house of George W. Williams & Co. At the outbreak of the war the firm's trade extended from. Vlijjinia to Texas. Of the mil*' J-1~ trolno HIIP thp | JIOll UI uilimis, ill ^uiu <uiuv, firm, it had to be collected in Confederate currency, or not collected at all. In a short time the firm found their life time work converted into Confederate bonds and currency. At the beginning of the war Mr. Hand was in New York attending to the purchase of supplies for the southern nouse, but as he was bpposed to secession he chose to remain there, and in 1861 withdrew from the firm of George W. Williams & Co. In the meantime the war between the north and toouth raged: each section passed the Sequestration Act. Mr. Williams, finding that his old partner's Interests at the south would oe confiscated, requested Mr. Hand's immediate return to Charleston. Failing to get through the lines at Baltimore or Washington, Mr. Hand took the western route. On arriving at New Orleans he was arrested and imprisoned as a spy. Mr. Williams telegraphed to the Governor of Louisiana, vouching for Mr. Hand's integrity; he finally succeeded in getting Mr. Hand out of prison, but he was sent under guard for trial to Richmond, Va., at that time the seat of the Confederate government. While passing through Augusta, Ga., his old home, the mayor found it necessary to send Mr. Hand to jail, to k?-ep him out of the hands of a mob. Mr. Williams went to Augusta at once, and shared Mr. Hand's quarters in the cold walls of the jail until beseemed his release. After much trouble and expense he was sent to Richmond and confined in the Libby prison for three weeks. In the meantime a vigorous suit was commenced in Charleston to sequestrate Mr. Hand's interests. Mr. Williams had subsequently restored him to his former position in the firm at a cost to himself of more than $250,000. Mr. Williams employed the best of counsel, Hon. Henry Buist and others, and after a long contest the suit ended in Mr. Hand's favor, and his interests in the south were thus saved from confiscation. As South Carolina was not a comfortable home for one suspected of union sentiments, Mr. Williams sent his friend to Asheville, N. C. Before leaving Charleston, Mr. Hand confided all his southern interests to the man who had stood by him under such trying circumstances, to be managed as bis own. Having been so severely dealt with by the Confederate authorities, he decided to go north at the first opportunity, never to return. During the early part of the war, northern houses had furnished Mr. Williams firm with goods. Knowing that there was no law in the Confederacy to enforce collections, they relied eutirely upon its honor for theirsecurity and pay. Two cargoes of coflee were also imported after the fall of Sumter; one of these succeeded in coming into port in October, 1861. chased by the Federal gun boats. The Confederates were thus supplied with 3,000 bags of coffee. To provide for the payment of these debts of honor, and others, Mr. Williams remitted to Liverpool and London, $400,000 sterling exchange. When the war was over, the debts due the north were paid in full, with interest. During the war Mr. Williams furnished a large amount of sterliug exchange to the Confederate government, to purchase clothing for the soldiers. He drew one draft on London for $50,000 in gold. He also contributed largely to Die support of the soldiers' families with fooa and clothing during the entire war. As has been stated, Mr. Williams and his partner's fortune had gone into Confederate money, with a fair prospect of almost total loss, as Confederate money was daily depreciating in value. In this emergency, Mr. Williams naturally looked around for other investments, hoping to save something out of the general wreck. He learned that cotton could be purchased in Georgia and Alabama at 7 to Scents per pound. He took prompt measures to secure io,uw naies at tnose nyures. He also saw that there was a panic in the north iu Southern State bonds. They were being forced on the market! at an average of 33 cents on the dollar. Mr. Williams, believing that) these bonds would he about par when neace was restored, invested $500,000 in these bonds. As Confederate money declined in value, the price of cutton rapidly advanced. Real estate, however, could still be bought with Confederate money, at a small advance on prices current before the war. Tbiuking there would be less risk in holding real estate than cotton he sold 10,000 bales at 30 to 40 cents per pound, and invested iu farm lauds in Georgia and 100,000 acres of well timbered hinds, at $1 per acre. ITe also purchased in Charleston, and in the interior of the Stale, $500,000 worth of real estate at about <lo per cent advance on ante-bellum prices. It was in such investments that a very large amount of Confederate money was, in a measure, saved from total loss. When the war was over, Mr. Wil Mains allowed himself 110 time for rest, j He went to work promptly in erecting warehouses in the burnt district for the storage of cotton, lie also lilledl his stores on Hayne and Market streets with merchandise. His was the first southern house to begin business. Although his old friend, Mr. Hand, was not included in the reorganization of the business, his interests in the Confederate wreck were carefully looked after and protected. While the grocery business was largely increased, the cotton receipts ran up to 75,000 bales per annum. In 1S74, to meet the demand for the banking and exchange department of liis business Mr. Williams purchased the line brown stone building 011 Broad street, and there established the Carolina Savings Bank. We now have to record a disaster to Mr. Williams almost equal to that of the Confederate war. Reference is made to the Birnie failure in NewYork, in 1879. Mr. Williams did not know that his New York house had a note out, or was at all embarrassed. His losses in that failure amount, with interest, to one million four hundred thousand dollars! Few men could have stood up under such an unexpected blow. To add to his troubles, at the same time, the South Carolina and Greenville railroads went into the aT ponaivorc ntvinrr AT?*_ Wil liams $500,000. Fortunately, every dollar was collected. A portion of the Hand trust was in bonds, and were lost in the Birnie troubles; but as he was not a partner in that firm, Mr. Williams made good the loss to Mr. Hand. We have given this sketch of the Williams-Hand trust, as briefly as possible; a detailed account would make an instructive and interesting volume. We are glad to say that "Uncle George"?for we like to claim kin with men who know how to make money, and to use it wisely and honestly?is as vigorous and active in business now as he was when we first knew him, more thau a third of a century ago. We are also pleased to state that in August, when Charleston was shaken from centre to circumference by the terrible earthquake, that Mr. Williams' fine residence scarcely received a scratch, and that his massive brown stone building on Broad street stood as firm as the Carolina Savings Bank, which is located in it, and that the large brick warehouse of the Charleston Iron Works, of which Mr. Williams is president, filled with iron and patterns, rocked to and fro on its log foundation, receiving but little damage. The day after the earthquake, a !couple of maumas crawled over the fallen walls to see the damage done to Mr. Williams' mansion. Finding it unharmed, one said: "Ki, Maum Xancy, how's dat?" "Don't you know. mycnile," saw Anil luuuerva, Jir. Williams fed we colored people in de wanr; he's God's chile, sure!" "Dat's so." responded Maum Nancy. ]>y the time Mr. Williams is as old as his friend, Mr. Daniel Hand, we shall expect, between now and then, to sue many more remarkable things done by him?such as deepening the Charleston bar, building an airline road to Kansas City, extending Charleston to Sum mervi lie, etc. When he retires, his son, George 21, will take up the work, to be finished by the grandsons, George 3d and 4th. Shallow Religion. 'ft had no depth." This is the reason which the Saviour himself gives why the seed, which fell on stony ground, after giving such fair promise of fruitfulness, soon withered away. It sprang up quickly. It got ahead of the seed that fell on good ground, and for a time manifested a vigorous forwardness that was calculated to excite great hopes as to final' results; but, alav, the soil was thin, and the little nourishment it contained was soon exhausted, and "when the sun was up" the promising stalk "was scorched, and because it had no root it withered." This is the fate of all superficial and 1 ? 1 * ?? Ti 1.^1 impulsive religion. it juuks ucptu. It starts off well, makes a fair show, and uives flattering promise of good results. "These have no root, which, for a time, believe, and in time of temptation, fall away." It is a solemn warning against that shallow religion which is not only in danger of being utterly lost, but which, while it lasts, affords but little if any satisfaction. It is as flunctnating and unsettled as the mountain stream, which one day, swelled by a dashing rain, fills its banks, and the next day sinks low and runs dry. Did you ever try to row a boat along a shallow stream of water, and experience the discomfort of "scraping bottom," and the daiiger of running "hard aground?" Such an experience illustrates the way it goes with those Christians whose piety lacks depth. The religion which bears them along is not deep enough even to insure them a comfortable ride. It is possible for one to have no more piety than "enough to make him miserable." Like the boat on the shallow stream, such persons are continually scraping bottom, or encountering snags, and sometimes they get so hard aground that it requires a freshet in the shape nf n modern revival to iret them off. Then they go along for a while with a hurrah till the freshet subsides, and they begin to scrape bottom worse than ever. Now, the inevitable result of such shallowness is shipwreck of faith. It is not possible for the man who contents himself with a little religion to keep it. The little must grow and develop in strength and power, and become a constant source of peace and satisfaction, or" it will dwindle away and die out. "To him that hath shail be given, and he shall have more abundantly, and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."? The Workman. When we are least worthy, most tempted, hardest, unkindest, let us yet command our spirits into His hands. Whither else dare we send them ? A clergyman, noted for long sermons, pausing for breath, said: "And what shall 1 say more?" when a brother responded, "Amen!" T think the world of to-day would 70 mad, just frenzied with strain and pressure, but for the blessed institu ; tion of Sunday. i Tim Kight Sinn.?"Boys, which j is tli? right side of a public house? Can you tell 1110?" "Yes, sir, the outside." Eyes raised toward heaven are always beautiful, whatever they be. Denials in love are better than grants in auger. i Helen Spurrell, of London, has made a translation of the Bible which is highly praised by scholars and is said to be far more enjoyable to the English reader than the "revised version" of the committee. This woman, we are told, seems to liavp drunk in the dramatic spirit of the Hebrew more profoundly than the male translators, w hile her original arrangement of the Psalms, Songs of Solomon and several other books, furnishes a key to clearer interpretation. In the language of a reviewer, " no translator in the future will venture to ignore her work." The discovery is announced that the six men who started the carpenters' strike in Chicago are all foreigners, not naturalized, and can't speak a word of English. This resins to prove that Americans are the biggest fools in the world. Does anyone imagine that six Yankees could go into any of the great cities of Continental Enrnne and there invite artisans to quarrel with their bread and butter? Yet Americans let raw immigrants do this with them.?Alta. A Boston dispatch of Saturday says: The friends of Franklin J. Moses, a lawyer and ex-judge and ex-Governor of South Carolina, have made application to Gov. Ames and the Council for pardon. Moses in October, 1885, was sentenced to three years in the Stale prison, having been convicted of forgery. It stated that he is in poor health. At San Francisco last Friday the customs ollicers seized one hundred and fifteen cases, marked "Nut oil," on the steamer Bio Janeiro from China, which arrived on Wednesday. The eases upon being opened were found to contain hermetically sealed cans of opium, placed in nut oil. The seizure is valued at $20,000. The Sheriff of Anderson county says that of the prisoners entrusted to his care, only about one out of every twenty wore from the class who were formerly slaves, lie has been taking strict note ot his prisoners, and marked this fact particularly. A remarkably good showing in favor of the morality of the old time servants. That there shonld be a Christ, and that I should bo Christless; that there should be a cleansing, and I should remain foul; that there should be a Father's love, and I should bo an alien; that there should be a heaven, and I should he cast into hell, is grief embittered, sorrow aggravated. The Methodist Book Concern in New York city having outgrown the capacity of the property, it is intended to sell the property and erect buildings adapted to the needs of the Methodist publishing interests.
