March 30- ly intimo i rai -- THE ECSTACY OF KISSES [The following exquisite poem, pub lished at the request of some fair ladies of Portsmouth, was written in 1SC7, when L"tbe author was a young girl under twenty. Whittier, the poet, wrote to its young author that she had mastered the English verse :] You kissed me ! my head Dropped low on your breast, . With a feeling of shelter And infinite rest: While the holy emotions .My tongue ?are not speak Flashed up in a flame From my hear* to my cheek; Your arms held me fast Oh, your arms were so bold, Heall beat against heart In four passionate fold, Your glances seemed drawing My soul, through my eyes^S*^ i As the_sun[draw8 the mist , From the seas to the skies. Your lips clung to mine Till i prayed in bliss They might never unclasp From the rapturous kiss. Voa kissed me ! my heart . And my breath and my will In delirious joy, For a moment stood still; Life had for me then No temptations, no charms, Xo visions of happiness Outside of your arras; And were I this instant An angel, possessed Of the peace and the joy That are given the blest, i would liing my white robes Unrepentingly down, 1 would tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown, To nestle once more lu that haven of rest, Your lips upon mine, .My head on your breast ' You kissed me ! my soul Ina bliss so divine, Heeled and swooned like a drunkard j Foolish wilh wine; And 1 thought 'twere delicious To ?ie lhere, if death Would come while my lips Were yet moist with your luca th, 1 f my heart might grow cold Wtiile your arm's clasped me round j in their, passionate fold. And those are rte questions iii: * :.xt& no mon y Would you care if your breast Were my shelter as then, And if you were .here, Wordd'you kiss me again ? mn Lair. COLUDA, S. C., - March 24.-jjj basked riders have visited farmersr n the couutry who were getting heir pastures enclosed to comply nth the stock-law passed by the last jegislature, which goes into effect V.pril 1st. Threats have been made of ncendiarism if the fences enclosing he fields were removed, and parties sndeavored to cultivate unenclosed ands. Various significant devices, uch as coffins with death heads and TOss-bone3 and other tokens of ter ror, have been left at th? houses of ,he stock-law men. Recent fires in Richland and one in Kershaw county ire attributed to the stock-law oppo ?ents. Carrying Mutters Wilh a High Hiuul. Opponents of the stock-law in Richland county, S. C., are carrying natters with a high hand. Masked .iders are visiting farmers who are removing their fences, and making ill sorts ol threats against them, if ;hey persist in planting their crops ri unfenced lands. Recent fires iu Richland and Kershaw counties are retributed to this cause. The au ihorities should take strong measures igainst these representatives of the mob-law, and bring thtm to prompt i ustice. The act was passed by the State Legislature, and should be Dbe} ed by eveiybody. Such a ?eign )f terror us that suggested by the ;elegram from Columbia this morn ing should not be allowed to con tinue another day. The Stock-Law Ku-Klux. The opponents of the stock-law who fancy that they can prevent it from going into elfeot, cr induce its repeal, by Ihieateniug to Ku-Klux those win are preparing to leuce in their stock, as the law requires, will lind themselves grievously mistaken. The law is there, and it must be j obeyed. This will be the demand cf many who wei o hostile to it, ?s well as of all who supported it The pub lic good requites that every law sh:iii be obeyed, and, then, if it work badly, it can be repealed. Every mau who enjoys in any way the benefit of any law can "see that his own safety requires ev.-ry law shall be (qUidly enforced. Other- | wise, the meuaces intended to make a stock-law nugatory to-day will, to a certainty, be directed, with a like purpose, against another law to morrow.-New$ and Coorie): ADVERTISING CH KA I S-It has be come so common to write the begin ning ol an elegant, interesting arti cle and then run it. into some adver tisement, that we avoid all such cheats and simply call attention to the mer its of Hop Bitters in as plain honest terms as possible, to induce people to give them one trial, aa no one who knows their value will ever use any thing els^.-Providence Advertiser. A iv ord to ?omi# Men J On the young men of to day rests the future hope of the Church and the State. How eareful, then should their training be, and what interest should be taken in their formation of ? habits'and character! Early inila- ! enees and impressions, either for | good or evil, are hard to counteract j in after life, and they frequently j shape our destiny and control our actions, for wear or woe, to the end of our earthly career. The first les sons impressed upon the youthful mind are generally the most lasting, and hence the truth cf tbe proverb, "Train np a child in the way heshall go, and when he is old he will cot depart from it." There have been j^a??s ^^iui'fai as human foresight or reason can penetrate, would' seem tobe exceptions to this i ule, but then, they are only exeepti >ns, and not the rn Ie. It T7ould seem, from a cursory glance at the surface of society, that human nature is deteriorating, and that the average boy of the period was falling short of his former moral and intellectual statup, but this, we would fain hope, is more in appear ance than reality. "Children will be children," which is perfectly nat? ur?iJ, and we have sometimes thought that we did them injustice in oraw ing the rein of parental restraint a little too strong which has an injuri ous effect in the rebound; but then it is better to err on the side of safety by tempuing justice with mercy, and leave the consequences io. their own good sense, guided by an over ruling Providence. If our earnebt, prayerful work thould seem to fail, and our children, in some cases, go astray in spite of our teaching and advice, we can console ourselves with the reflection that we did our duty and deserved success, though it v.'as not in our power to attain it. "Shake not your gory locks atme: thou canst not say I did it." Ptemember, young man, that life is pretty much what you make it, and that every man is, to some extent, the architect of of his own fortune, j Many a youngster who was vain and j foolish' enough to conceive that he was a favored son of fortune,-born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and ca' ried away with; the ide?, that the world owed him a living and would be ^compelled to pay it h*s found his ie^l ir.'?iivi:'/iv's vale much sooner Wvd: "Honor aud fame from no con ?TTrcnr..0,.h.wei? vour par^fnere all the honor lies." There you have j" the secret of succe&s, the whole phil osophy of life and living condensed in two lines. Act well your part, and act it yourself, for you can rest assured that no one else will act it lor you. God never created a loafer. Ile is, if made at all, the creation of man, largely assisted by the devil, who claims him for his own, and estab" li6hes his workshop in his idle crani um. He is to humanity what the sloth, is among beasts, or, better still, a stagnant pool among living waters. The utter waste of brain power and hand force in this way is simply enormous; forces, backed [by proper will and energy, might have made their mark in life and helped to rule the country. When the human ci pher, the drone in the hive of busy life, dies, we know it not, for he was dead before to all useful purposes, and he sinks out of sight and leaves no memory bebind, no ripple to show where he disappeared. He is missed by his boon companions norn his ac customed dre gooda box and chair in the tavern corner, and that is all. No stone marks his humble gi ave, and no marble shaft is inscribed to his memory. He lived without fill ing any space, and died without leav ing a vacuum. Young mau, be not like unto one of these, but buckle on your armor for the battle of life and bravely work your way, with might and main, through the world, and into the rest and confidence of your lei lew men, and it may be into honors and riches and position beyond yon? \ i?.sent sanguine expectations. You have life and death, honor and shame, placed before you, with the power to accept or reject; choose ye this day which you will take. Ilemember al ways that the path of duty is the path ul' safety, and the way of the transgressor is hard. Eternal pro gression is one of the unchanging laws o? our being. It is impossible to stand still; we must be advancing in the narrow path to life and he nor, or down the broad road to disgrace and ruin. Stop, young man, this troment, and inquire which road you are traveling and whither you ?ire drifting. Foin LIVES SAVED.-Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup relieved four of my chi.dren of a most alarming attack of Whooping Cough, from which their throats and necks became so swollen as to prevent them from swallowing.

Captain of Police, Baltimore, Md TUF FAMOUS BREWSTER LET TER. The Attorney Genet al Playing ihe Partisan to Perfection and Making Alter the "Big." Fellows-The Spirit In Which the South Carolina,Election Caaes Are to he Pushed. WASHINGTON March 23.-? long letter from Attorney General Brews ter to Dallas Saunde-B, Aeeietant United States District Attorney at Charleston, is published with Mr Saunders'reply. The first paragraph commends Saunders for the part he has so far taken in the cases on which he was sent from Philadelphia. The j remaining portion is as follows: "By the by, I was upon the poiutof writ ing you a letter this very day upon a subject that concerns me very mu eh, and I desire you to convey what I now write tc Mr. Melton and read every word I do write. If I were not about to wiite to you I would write to Mr. Melton. An investiga tion has been recently had here in Washington*on?the contest between Smalls and Tillman in the House. I send you now by this mail a printed copy of the proceedings and testi mony, and the argument that -was eent to me only yesterday. I d?sire your attention to it and Mr. Melton's attention to it; and^I expressly re quest yon to say to Mr. Melton that it is my determination to have these matteia thoroughly investigated ai d closely pursued. The right of suff rage must be protected, no matter who suffers. I wish Mr. Mejjton to be told by you that I expect he will proceed forthwith against the most important persons who have been concerned in these attempt* to defeat honest elections by fraud or forcible means. I Bay the highest and most responsible people are those whom I desire to be the first prosecuted aid first pursued. There will be no ex ample if merely insign!;Ic*nt persoi a are taken hold of. Those who stand high in the community and have thud ventured to violate the law and en courage others to do it are the very persons to be t?rst prosecuted, and, if convicted, punished in a signal way. Then things will begin to change and voters will be encouraged to vote according to . their convictions, and tiose '.vho do vote vail feel satisfied that their vot?s have been duly counted and surrend?' cheerfully to an honest result.. I__am veryin^d what I cannot eredit-^4Ea^r^M| rently said in South Carolina^Baf ^ - nr.'" nff*M"sri'* who will be prose cuted will be a few insignificant and obscure persons. Such prodecntious I will not consider being those that justice requires to be instituted and pursued. The criminal court house should not be the poor man's court house. All who violate law, and ea pecially the fundamental law, such I as the right of suffrage, must be made to feel the terror of that law. The abufie of the right of nuffrage such a? is charged to have beeu per- i petrated iu South Carolina is prudi* cal treason against the dignity ol the people and the fundamental princi ple of their power, and it must be i signally punished. "At this point I have paused and re-read my letter. I was about to send it oil' to you, and as I read it over I saw that through it ran a pretty sharp tone of reprobation of thia supposed attempt to pursue the poor and obscure and to permit the prosperous and important to escape tlie prosecution that they merit-a prosecution lor offences they were charged with having committed. I see nothing in my letter that ought to be modified for 1 am deeply in earn est about all this. Von are a Demo crat and very properly sympathisa willi your party, and 1 talk to you with a liitle more vigor because you are Democratic, and aUo because we enjoy such close personaland friendly relations. I wish to express my "Re publican convictions upon this sub ject. But, irrespective of my He publican convictions, 1 intend more emphatically to indicate how impor 1 t*nt all this is to both sides-that j there should he fair play-fair play ! all around. There ia no just judg-' I ment of the popular will in any elec- ; ; tion that ia controlled or biased by 1 loree or fraud, and I do insist that b it h Democrat s and Republicans : should have their lacea *et aa Hint j ; tgaiust any abuses against a free and j lair ballot. ! "Colouel Melton 1 desire shall read j this, aud I would write directly to iliim upon this subject if it were not that it might look like an official ad monition that to a certaiu extent was . prompted by a belief in the rumor j that I have before repeated, to wit( j that the poor and obscure were to be ( pursued and the conspicuous und prominent were to escape the judg ment of the law. I would not in any way impeach liim, and therefore 1 will not write even a letter in a kind spirit that might be construed as giv j ing color to such an imputation, for I j bel eve, as the public believe and I hope, that he will do his duty.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-That John Sherman is a pr." i ?ca? tiick^p! and a peculator ol \ ublic mou%lo few people doubt aller I he develop ments of the last Presidential cam paign and the outturn ol' the treas ury investigation; but here is r^ol that he carries bis Bcoundrdism into private-as well as public life: Every knows that since Senator Hampton convicted William Tecum seh Sherman of lying, in regard to the burning of Columbia, thc Sher man family have been very bitter against him. It will also be re membered that during the last Pres idential campaign, John Sherman then secretary of the treasury, laid bare his vulgar spite by replying to a courteous letter of inquiry from Senator Hampton vith an open let ter, most offensive in its teims, and very insulting to the people of South Carolina. Soon after this the noto rious South Carolina Radical and renegade white man, Hollin H. Kirk, tben employed in the treasury bete, published a scurrilous and libellous attack upon Secatoi Hampton charging bim with having aided in murdering a score of negroes in Mis sissippi, and with such other offences as a villanous imagination con Kl con jure up. This letter was circulated by the Republicans during the rast Presidential campaign throughout the West. Upon Sherman's exit from the treasury Kirk lost bis place there. A month or two ago he WHS reiustated, and almost simultaneous ly hie wretched campaign lies wen repu i dished by a scavenger sheet in Charleston. Upon thia several of Hamp on > friends determined lo look into the matter. Here was an employee o' the Government occupied in cireu latingthe most abominable falsehoods against a Senator. The attacks weie personal, uot political, and as such could justly be objected to. Secre tary Folger Wae seen and the fact laid before him. He. promptly ad mitted i???t Kiri, s couise was a suffi cier.t cause tor hi.- discharge. He "T^;jgr Kirk and interrogated him. letter, hut begged the secretary 3WW tema in his eyes not to discharge him" as He had a wife and tix child ren to-support. The attack, hr de clared, was ordered Ly a superior official. Mr. Folger communicated these facts to Senator Hampton and odie red to discharge Kirk from office for it Senator Hampton replied thal fe would spare him, but that he wished to know who had incited tue publi cation. Kirk, upon bearing this, stated that the official was Secretary Sherman, and produced a Jd I cr from the Secretary to prove the laut. This letter was read by Senator Hampton ; md others and waa re turned to its owner. It seems that Kirk first wrote io the secretary, who replied in sub stance as follow?: "In my position I cannot notice ihese things, Lilt I wish that- you, or some ene el e ; would make a formal statement cf ? the kind against Hampton." Kiri; j said I hal coming from ti.e highest i treasury ofiieer he regarded the lotter j as au otder, and he also asserted that j Sherman promised, ii ha was . 1 i-i ?charged from the treasury, to gel j him a place nt the Capitol: ? These facts have been leaking out j gradually, and they are now known to several Senator?, who declare it the most dastardly act they ever heard of. Herc was the secretary of the treasury of the United States employing the venom of his snbordi nate to strike at the personal chat - acter ol a Senator.

"On my last voyage home from 1 England, some three years ago, in j one-of tbs Cunard, steamers, I notie-i ed one morning, after a few days ont of port, a young man hobbling about' .on the upper deck, supported by crutches and seeming to move with extreme oifficulty and no little pain. He was well dressed and of exceeds ingly handsome countenance, but his limbs were .somewhat emaciated and his face very sallow and bore the traces of long suffering. As he seemed io h ive no. attendant or comrsnicn", he nf once attracted ray sympathies, nnd-'? vVent u j lo him as he leanpd Irgul hi ? tie' cafl'tail loohing out on the Yearning' track which tlie stcarnei was making. " 'Excuse me, my yon??g friend,' I said, touching him gently on tho shoulder, 'you appear to be an invfi iid and hardly able or strong enough to trust yourself unattended on an ocean voyage; but if you require any assistance I am a robust and healthy mau and shall be glad to help you.'
