Link a great P company assembled at their home last Fri- X1 day nieht to meet the bride and groom, who C1 had Just returned from an extended trip to w places of interest In the North. si The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson had been w nut in readiness for I he comlnc of the Kuests. F mid from nine o'clock until twelve o'clock the place was u scene or lovely animation and w charming decoration. As the guesis came tliey were greeted by the ?< bride and th# groom, and the loving pair re- w celved the heariy good wishes of all. Everything that could make the house at- tl tractive was present.and the cordiality of the tl reception made the visit delightful. "I After lingering aWhlle Indoors the guests, d< one after another, found their way into the P' grounds about the house. a| As a whole, the garden presented a view r* more beautiful than a dream of fairy lund. w Many Chinese lanterns hung from the 01 boughs of the trees, reflecting in their subdued light, the forms of beauty and urate that c' strolled along the sanded paths, or loitered In the booths while whispering airy nothings. Ip The merry laugh and the enchanting words Jo of the loved and the loving sent a thrill of u] pleasure upon the evening air. 01 The perfumed zephyr bore sweet incense c( while devoted ones breathed sweetest words P to willing ears. tc The very flowers lhem?elveR, that lent the s< charm of their presence, were not more pure hi or more lovely than the forms divinely fair, A that received the adorutlon of hearts devout- w )y Rlncere. ? Mr. I.awson Is one of our bent business men, w I and the bride Is one of the prettiest ladles In the town. Both are popular, and both have a h< host of friends who bless their union and c* wish for them earth's richest blessings, namely: Good health, and good spirits?the Lest J* things to have this side of tbe River. tr The newly married couple have not deter- w mined upon where they will live, or whether ? they will Ijoard or keep house, but whether l' they board or keep house, here's good wishes. ei m m w THE SPEAKERS. ; S( fa Where They Stopped While in Abbe- o ville. ^ General Hugh L.

Upon a recent 1 stormy niclit, I was quietly midlng your on 1 '? * *?* r* I ?ho oIukiti nf lltu hall I announcing thp presence o! a visitor, sumrnened me to the doorway. RespoudiQg totiie call. I perceived upon the door-steps a tHll snowy-haired and bearded individual dressed in most outlandish garb, whose piercing eyes seemed to illumine the surrounding darkness like orbs of fire. Without the utterance of a syllable, he thrust into my hands i bulky parcel and turning upon his heels was soon to lost sight in the darkness, paying no heed to my surprised ej aculatlon at his ap- i ( earauce. Much amazed at the manner and . Iressof this strange disturber of my quiet, I hastened to examine the manuscript found in the parcel which lie save me, having a direwd suspicion that tbis old ancient-look- | ue stratiKer must indeed have been none >thcr than the Wandering Jew. Findinc hat some part of this manuscript seemed to < elate to events of recent date and of near :oncern to the people of this laud, I have Mused a chapter therefrom to be transcribed or publication, in order that others may udge for themselves as to its mean ing. The vhole work was entitled as above set forth md it may be deemed admissible. Respectfully yours, M. Sterne. CHAPTER CXV. IK TUB STUANGE DOINGS OK ONE BENJAMIN* THE TILLMANITE. 1. Now it came to pass In those days, in he last year of the reiun of John Peter, Richrd's son, that there was peace throughout all . lie borders of the land. And every man was t peace with his neighbor and all the people n cere content with those who ruled over the I and. 2. But there was a man among the people, chose name was Benjamin of the tribe of the MUmanltes, who cast his eye upon the sent of he chief ruler of the people ami went about i> flod how he inlght possess It lor him self \ nd reign over the people. 8. Now Benjamin was a man who had not he fear of the Lord before his eye and wan . ne of them who declare continually that hey fear neither God. man nor satan. And e stirred up a grievous strife amongst the eopleandset every man against his brother. 4. And Benlamin went out among the peo- 1 le and cried out unto them against their ulers and against the chief men among the j eople. Now Benjamin was a tiller of the oil and he cried with a loud voice unto those rho tilled the grounu and unto such as follow he plough. 5. For tie knew that the earth had notyielded bundantly of her Increase unto the husband- ( len, and he thought to fill these with dlscon>nt and their hearts with ripenings. He saw Iso that thev were men of simple life, and / ie desire of his heart was to lead there \ stray to follow after him, that he might be- g sme the chief ruler over all the people. t>. And he called unto him certain of his -lends, who sought also to become men of iile among the people and whose labors to jat end hud long been in vain, for that the eople would have naucht to do with these _ ten. And Benjamin spake UL-to these men * to how the desire of their hearts might be lade to come to pass. 7. And when he had gathered his friends >gether, he opened his mouth and spake unto lem saying: "Go to, now, and hearken unto ly words. For the people murmur because le harvest Is poor aud bread is scarce in the n ind. Their hearts also, are filled with sad- J ess. aud they know not where to turn for c< uccor. s( 8. "Listen to my saying and give ear to the ti ords of my mouth ; for I am filled with wis- tt am and cunning and my words are the tc ords of one who speaketh as one of the rophete, Come, follow me, nnd we will go ut among the people and will charge their jlers and their chief men with this evil hich bus come upon the people. Yea, we | Ill say unto them that those who rule in * le land luive done this thing. D. "And It shall coma to pass that the peole will hearken unto our words and will Ive heed unto our saying*, and they will ixt out those who now rule over them and ill make us rulers In their stead. Then lall our hearts be filled with gludness and r e can take our ease all the rest of our days. ^ or ttie people will leave us to rule over them id our desires shall he accomplished, and S e shall no loner he unknown In the land." )0. And when those who were gathered toother heard the words of Benjamin, they T ere filled with great joy, and they said one I > another. "Of a truth, this man speaketh le words of wisdom." Aud It was so that icy gave heed unto his saying and they . ;reed together that this thing should be :>ne, as he had said before the people. They reelled out. the offices also, among them, nd named Benjamin for the place of chief iler over all the people. For Benjamin >uld not he content with any place, Rave Aly that of the ruler and could in no wise e at rest until he sat In the place of the lief ruler over all the people. ? 11. Theu wentout Benjamin, and his foliwR, also, before the people And Beninlu caused the people to be gathered time pon time and place upon place throughnt all the land and he and those who had inspired with him went out before the peole and spoke many words unto all wbocame ? hear. But the people wot not that It was > that these men haa conspired together nnd id parcelled out the offices that was to be lied among them. For Benjamin and those 1 ho were with him were cunning men and *1 ley agreed the one with the other that no at ord should be spoken to the people consrnlng the agreement which they had made of jtween them until after the time of the re loosing of rulers was past. 12. And the people heurkened unto the ords of Benjamin and unto the speech of lose that were with him; and Benjamin ? rought upon the people by his words, and lany were deceived by his say lugs. For ley knew not that he sought only his own ids, and loved not the people. 13. And many of those among the people uo were iniem ui me cunn wcio uucu uj In words with anger agalust his brethren nd became wroth with those who had aforeme ruled over them. Howbelt, there were >me amongst them who knew that he spake ilsely and that his words were not the words f soberness and truth. For these were men ho knew the deceits of those who sought to tad the people, Hnd they asked for proof of > le charge brought agalnm those who had J r<>retltne been chosen to be their rulers. I 14. But Benjamin could not answer them * ho demanded ot him the proof of these lings; and he cried out the more loudly nto the people that their leaders were not ten of honesty and that the land was full of I Htenness and corruption. He did say also, I lat the hearts of those who ruled over tbem ere like the bodies of lepers and that the ensures of the people had been wasted and jnsumed. He promised, also, that the wages r ttiose who served the people should be les>ned and that the treasure of the people tiould be saved Irorn the handsof the spoiler, .nd many other promises made be unto the eople, Insomuch that their number might ardly be reckoned by reason of their multude. And he Draved the people that they 'ould make blm clilef ruler overthem, promilng that he would lead tbern Into a land owing with milk and honey. T 15. And many foolish people hailed him by v te name of Moses, and said "Yea we have >und him whom we have long sought aforeIme." lfi. But there were those who stood up gainst Benjamin and against those who were 'Ith him, and demanded of the people, that ley should require witness of the truth of ? Is words. They showed unto the people kewise, that It was not the truth which had een spoken unto them, and that the troubng of the people fame not from thelrown ulers but from those who had reigned over le land of Unklepsalm. And Ihey proved y the statutes and the records and the treasre-house of the people that no gold or sliver ad been wasted, and they showed unto those Hat gave ear to their words that the servants A r the people had received but the due iec- I unpense of reward lor their labor. ^ 17. Then did Benjamin cry out the more >udly unto the people that there wero those 'ho did butnhoo/.le and debauch their rulers foretime and did give them 'free passes' that ley might have leave to despoil the people, q nd he did charge many other evil things & ?alnst their ruler*, without ceasinjr; but he mid bring no man to prove tho truth of his lyings. y, 18. And the people believed the words of -*J enjamln, howbeit there were souie who ouId not believe because tUero was no one > make the proof. 19. And Benjamin cried unto the people jntiuually tUat they should make him chief iler over them ; any he swore again a mighty ith that he would lead them Into a land of lenty and that they should be filled with fatess, He did swear, likewise, that he would tve them many sheckles of silver and gold, nd that the uatherer of taxes should no lonir. r take from them so great a portion of ther J distance. 20. And many of ttie people were greatly .Irred by Ills words and were filled with atred towards their brethren, because they ould not believe on Benjamin and refused > consent that he should rule over theu>, nd when their brethren sought to lemselves heard of these people and, to show nto thein that this Benjamin was, uat a true ropliet but a son of Belial, a?d that his louth was lull of deceitful words, his lol- \ iwers would not hearl&eavmto their brethren ut reviled them apd oast them out. 21. So It came to pa as ehat many of those ho tilled the salt and who outnumbered leir brethren, chose Benjamin to rule over iew, and #ave hiin the uame of Moses beiuue he had promised to lead them Into a ,nd flowing with milk and honey. And tere were many who clung behind to the flther parts of the garments or Benjamin ; ul the people made these rulers, also, under eujamln, because they were seen hanging Ho the skirts of his coat. 22. So Benjamin reigned over the people; ' ad Is not the record of what he did not do rltten in the chapters of this Book which m ill remain to be read by the people ??Latw \ ister Ledger.
