DEATH OF HEH LOVES.
T. W. P.
The tears thal from mine eyelids find their

Can ill empress the feelings of my heart- j
Xor -can'these tear?;, thor.gh tbsy should -!
flow for aye, ;
Allay one pain, or ease me of one smart j
Ill-fated youth! consigned io early grave, |
Ere manhood's bloom had time to deck
thy years:
All unavailing now for me to lave
The turf that ?ideo thor with my burri- j
ing tears !
In vain they try to chide mc of my wo?;
Remembrance bolda me ever to thy
view:
The r sympathies but arg' fay sorrow's''!
flow;

anew.'- ?'
Each favorite scone where- we were wont 11
to stray, j
Each shady grove and i vj--mantled j
ire*?, ? jJ
Has cast ils robe of lovely green away, j *
And set-ma to mourn the ioss of love j(
and thc*. ' . t
The stream that rippled on with gladden- 'i
mg song, i ?
ls hushed, as sympathetic of ruy woe, j ?
And scarcely murmurs as it glide* along; j i
While every breeze sigh* though ta of jj
long ago. j a
EartL'haa no charms t-.> bind me r\. itv I f
now: lt
I tis joys and sorrows in ve no parr in i j,
me,
Since Death hasjaid hin hand upon thy !
brow,
And chilled thc spim that woke life in . 3

The cheering light of hope illumes my I ^
soul, j *
And teils me that 1 do not weep in !

Short space of time with fleeting wing
must roll, "
And then," "united, we shall iove again.

lue indignation Against Sam Mel
. ton ail over the State is as bitter as.
: it was against Corbin when he was
seeking blood money through '.he
, persecution of the so called Hu Iviux.
And ir, is right and juetthat it should
oe so. Indeed. Melton deserves the
hearty hate of the white people of
the State more than Corbin did.
For Corbin waa ?.ii adventurer, an
alien on cur soil, a creature whose
oniy mission here was''t?gather gear
by any wile." Ii he was possessed
of such a thing an a moral cr politi
cal principle we may suppose that it
drew its inspiration from the higher
lights of Northern civilization, and
thal ;;<> was, therefore, by training j
our enemy and our hater. Such is
not the case with Melton. He was
boru here, he grew up among the
psoj he is peeking to stab to politi
cal death, the encouragement lie re
ceived io cheer him on in his early
paths ol ambition wert? all from these
whom he would now place politically

Some of the Methodists in Baiti
nore are much exercised about the
'.dion of the camp meeting associ i
:iouti which persist in keeping their
tamps on Sundays during the Bum
mer. The Washington Grove Asso
ciatiou fall under especial condemna
tion m this respect. At the recent
meeting of the Baltimore Conference j
one broth*?!* said he hoped the Con- j
terence would stamp out the vVash j
ington Grove Association for it* sin
in encouraging Sunday cars. An
other brother said that lie saw no
,. i
rucre sin in riding to camp meeline j
on Suuday in a steam car than in a |
horse car or a private vehicle. Tnis ;
brother was frowned upon by most of,
his associates, among whom were |
quite a number v.bo habitually use j
tie slreet carn ns ft means <M retch |

after fully debating the question, ?

Aiken's Reputation as a Sanitary
Resort--I Hollier Hotel Haute?!.
A Northern gentleman, while in
o ir oflice the other cUyveUted that
in hie opinion there was room? io
Aiken tor several .hotels aa large aa
j the Highland Pack, and that proba
I Lly the next one built would be ar
; ranged to accommodate one thousand
I guests. We were glad to hear him
?speak so enthusiastically qi cur eli*
j mate, of our town ?1 d tu?- kindness
and hospitality ol cur people, and
glad to hear Aiken's future prospects
pictured in such glowing colors,
It is true that a good climate, tree
from malarial influences ?nd suiti
cient.Iy dry and .bracing tb restore
health to the enfeebled invalid, is an
absolute essential, but yet it io ar, un
queeti mable fact that the - hotel ac
ommodatiou of a health resort is
such an important /actor in its pros
? perity, that any attempt to increase
I what we now have should be eucour
aged in every way possible. The
?more hotels we.have the more peo
ple wil' ^me here. What we want
is a firat class hotel,capable of accom
modating at least five hundred guests
in sumptuous fctyle, with a fiist clues
man at its head.
Our northern friend stated that
there would not.be the slightest dif
ficulty in raising the necessary capi
tal. He predicted., however, that
less than five years would elapse be
fore important addit.ona would be
made lo the hotel accommodations of
Aiken.
The reputation o' Aiken as a na
tional sanitary resort Ls annually on
the increase. Its superiority over
Florida is seit evident ltom the fact
taat many of those who h-ave hero in j
a convalescent condition, return de
bilitated from malarial- fever. The
hotel accommodation;: of Florida-are
ample and o? the most sumptuous or
der. Let the same facilities be es
tablished in Aiken, and *he will uis
rance all competitors.-Aikea Re

An Allegory._
A lawyer, an enthusiastic admire
of the late Thomas J? Crittenden, o
Kentucky, contributes to the Spring
?rld Republican an anecdote illus

?jury:
Mr. Crittenden wa6 engaged in de
fending a tuan who had been* indictee
for A csr.it il --l?ense. Aller au euh
orate and po wei lui defenae he clcseil
his effort by the following striking
anti beautiful allegory :
"When God, in His eternal conn
soi, conceived ihe thought o! man's
creation, He called lo Him the three
ministers who wait] constantly upon
His throne-Justice, Ti nth and Mer
cy--and thus addressed them: "Shall
we make man ?"
"Then said Justice, '0 God ! make
him not. for he will trample upon
Thy laws.' Truth made answer also,
'0 God ! moke bira nol; for he will
pollute Thy sanctuaries.'
"But Mercy dropping upon her
knees, ami looking up through her
tears, exclaimed, "0 God ! make him;
! will watch over hitit ami surround
him with my care through ali the
dalk paths which he may have to
tread. Then God mad'* man, and
said to him,'0 mau 1 thou art the
child ol Mercy; go and d^al with thy
brother..* "
The jury, when he- finished was in
tears, and against evidence, and what
must have beeu their owu ion viol ioi.s
brought in a speedy verdict. o? not

Senator Butler is in favor of redoc
ng the area of the counties; and sug
gests that if an extra session of the
Legislature ?hould be called tore-dis
trict the State, the matter of smaller
counties might be considered at that
session also. Ile says :
In ?ny opinion very-many counties
of thc State are too large. Ever'
since 1370 I have favored a division
o? the larger counties, and I now
think that great good would result
to all parties from a judicious subdi
visiou of many ol them. My obser
vation has been that the smaller
counties are better governed, the
roads schools bridges, and the poor
are better looked after and taken
care of and that the people are more
ready to discharge their public du*
ties. Besides that, it would multiply
churches school-houses and centres.
There is bur one objection to these
subdivisions, the expense of erecting
pubiic buildiugs, and 1 believe in all
cases the people to be benefited by
the change would readily undergo
the additional expense.
Mr. Wm. E Jackson, the veteran '

?So matter how close they may work,

.-consequently, as long as New Eng*
land can turn a wheel, we can pros
per and pay dividends. This has
been nhown so clearly that we csa
command all the capital we want."
American cheese occupies a prom
inent place in the English market**
People in this conutry do not seem to
properly appreciate th J value of
cheese as a food. Milk is known as
r high quality of food. In making
cheese we simply coagulate the no
tri*ions portions of the milk. One
ounce of cheese contains nutritive
qualities about equal with a pint bf
milk, and one pint of the latter is
reckoned as equivalent in nourish
ment to a mutton chop.
