FOR THE H8$AILD. To Mother. Life is short but its checkered path, How many a weary windiug hath, Dear mother lean heavier still on me, Together we'll breast life's turbulent sea. My arms are around you, my hand in- thine, Your joys and your sorrows, shall ever be mine, The clouds are dark, but beyond 'tis light, The dawning will break o'er the darkest night. I know that with pain your hours are rife, Each day and hour of your invalid life, But hear you the Nazarene sweetly say, Truly thy strength shall be as thy day. Tozether we'll kneel at Calvary's cross, Finding His love, count all else dross. For mother, the Shepherd forgets not His fokl, And not even a lamb leaves out in the cold. MAGGIE. Williamston, S. C. The Hampton Portraits. We copy from the News and Courier the followidg: There are two distinct portraits of Gov. HAMPro. The one issued by the "Hamp ton Portrait Company," of Charleston, S. C.. is engraved in line by MARsHALL, and will be of imposing appearance, and life-size. There is also a print out representing the Governor. We suggest that our people wait and see bo.hpictures, before choosing which they will have. -Marshall's famous engravings are attract ing unusual attention. ,The superb large fine engraving of Washington, from Stuart's celerated oil portrait in the Boston Athen Eum-a plate valued at ten thousand dol lars-when originally brought out about ten years ago, a,: once placed Mr. Marshall in the very front rank of engravers, ancient ormod ern, meeting, both in Europe and America, the most extravagant encomiums of artista, critics, and men of judgment. It was even selected for exhibition at the French Acad emy of Design, an honor accorded to none but.. the very highest works of art. It s, moreover the best, indeed the only satisfac tory, portrait of Washington that exists, a d is the acknowledged statdard "household engraving" of bim. The late Edward Everet said of it: "The magnificent engraving of Stuart's head of Washington. It is truly a superb work." Bancroft, the historian,writes: "I have been for some years a collector of the many different engravings and portraits of Washington. This beyond comparison it the best of them-the only one that is per feetly satisfactory." Mr. George S. Hillard, the well known art critic, says: "Were it the head of some unknown- person, a lover of ar1 would be glad to have a copy of the engraving forits rare intrinsic merits, and every Atneri can should be ready to make some sacgifce it other ways in order to possess so satisfactory a representation of Washington." Mashall't R. E. Lee, just out, is a wonderful work, and In a few days his "Gov. Hampton" will gc to the people of South Carolina and thb country, a noble tribute to a great leader who conquers by his high character and by peaceful means, not by the sword.

This is followed by a double sized colored fashion-plate, with five figures a very beautiful affair. Then comes a col ored pattern for a tidy on Java canvas: then a charming engraving, "The Fast Express;' and then some forty other illustrations of fashions, work-table patterns, &c., &c.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively. and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Economy and Reform. There is a great cry of reform. But practically it does not amount to much so far as our legislators at Washing ton are concerned. They believe it is the chief end of man's creation to pay taxes-that citizens we.e made for the express purpose of supporting govern ment, forgetting that government was made for the benefit of the citizens, and not the citizens for the benefit of the government. Once. in a while they lop off expenses where there is no occasion for it as Congress did at .the preceding session, and then put them back again at the next. The proper place for a public officer to be. gin the work of economy is with sala ries-his own salary especially. But our legislators do not see it in that light. Charity may begin at home, but reform and economy do not with them. Last week, when a bill was introduced to reduce the President's salary to $25,000, at wbich figure it had always stood till four years ago, the bill was promptly voted down by an overwhelming majority. And the bill to reduce the salaries of Congress. men from $5,000 a year to $4,500 met with the same reception. While All classes of citizens are compelled to reduce their expenditures to the very lowest point, to stint and save to the utmost limit, Congressmen and other public servants (?) are receiving enor mous salaries, and in many cases their services are worth absolutely nothing. The pay is so large thai that is most commonly the end and ob. ject of office. The noble ambition for honorable distinction has, to a large degree, given place to a miserable Igreed for money- Men get $5,000 as Congressmen who could not command one-third of that amount in private business. Then corrupt and incom petent meng,et in :they can afford te pay a large sum to secure their elec tion, and there is no doubt this is fre quently done. But we don't propos to discuss this feature of the subject. The plain Yact, as it appears to a pri. vate citizen, is, $25,000 is ample for the yearly salary of a President, and $4,500 is big pay for Congressmen. By reducing to these figures a saving would be made to the country of near ly $200,000. Then the work of econ omy and reform, beginning at the source, could extend itself to all the branches of government; the public dcbt could thereby be reduced, and free trade could be established to the great benefit of a large portion of the country. Newberry College. The citizens of Newberry now have the opportunity of securing a first. class College in their midst-an op portunity tha', should not be lightly regarded. A College can be secured on very favorable termns. The New berry College is out of debt, is pro vided with all necessary apparatus, has a full and competent corps of Pro fessors. It is, in every respect, in ex cellent condition and good working order. An agent has been appointed by the Synod to raise an endowment of $50,000, who has raised, in mone~ and bonds, $4,000 since the first of January. The College would certain ly prosper in any good locality, and there is no better locality for it than right here in our midst. Counties with fine educational advantages pros per above all others; therefore we should have it here. The greatest expense in giving boys a College edu cation is boarding them abroad. Thai expense would be saved by having the College here. Forty, fifty or a hun dred boarding students would con tribute $250 or $300 apiece yearly to the town. The Professors and their families would be desirable accessions to the place. The citizens of New berry must move if they want the College. Other places are making efforts to get it. Anderson wants it, and will offer large inducements. Wal halla will try hard to retain it. What ever place gets it will be fortunate. Will it be Newberry ? uicide. Thursda~y nigh t, H Rnkl Tilden and Hampton. Florida has been counted for Hayes and Wheeler. There will be a strug gle over Louisiana. Tilden may get that State, or he may get one vote from Oregon. But it is better to keep the mind in such a state as not to be surprised at the fnal resulk. We do not think that Gov. Hamp ton's position will be affected by the Presidential issue. He, we feel cer tain, will be Governor, whoever be President. Everything is in a terrible state of uncertainty, and we wish we were able to give our readers something more definite on the situation, but it is im possible to do so. We shall see what we shall see. Mark That! The Columbia Phcenix advocates a Convention for framing a new Consti tution. There is no doubt in the world that such a Convention will be held at no very distant day-as soon as the condition of public affairs will admit. When it shall be held let there be no squabble over the honor for having first advocated it. All the honor, and all the credit will belong to the Phcenix. Write that down. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, mem ber of Congress from Georgia, came near dying last week, and is now en gaged in reading his obituaries. He is certa:nly a remarkable man. Sev eral times he has been given up by the doctors, but stills holds on. Physi cally, he is a mere scrap of a man, weighing only ninety pounds ; men tally, lie has few if any equals in the country. The Supreme Court decides that the election of County officers in No vember last was legal and valid. The decision was made in the case of Wil -lirnan vs. Ostendorff, appealed from Judge Reed's decision in Charleston. Judges Northrop and Townsend had previously made the same decision the Supreme Court has. At the meeting of the State Grange of the P. of H., Columbia, held last week, James N. Lipscomb, Chappell's, was elected Worthy Master, Thomas W. Holloway, Pomaria, Secretary, and A. M. Aiken, Greenwood, re-elected Treasurer, to serve for two years. Our exchanges will please notice the address of these officers. Editorial Review. Up to February 8th, $85,690.44 of Hampton taxes had been received from the different counties. ~There are now fifty boarding pupils at the Williamston Female College, and thirty-seven day pupils. A bill has been introdnced in the U3. S. Senate to appropriate $7,000 for the expenses of the Electoral Commuis si0n. Our luxuries. The government col lected last year a revenue of $100, 000,000 from whiskey; tobacco and beer. Dr. John H. Davis, of Laurens County, died on the 8th instant at his home near Clinton in the 86th year of his age. Senator Jno. R. Cochran, of An derson, who shot and killed Thomas Dent in Fine's saloon, Columbia, Nov. 22, will be tried in Columbia to-mor row for murder. Mr. Lewis Holloway was murdered at his home, near Ninety-Six, the night of Jan. 31st. He had sold cotton that day, and was no doubt murdered for money. Two negroes have been arrested on suspicion. The most popular preacher in New York City is the Widow Van Cott. She is fine looking, a great revivalist, quite theatrical in wanner and style, and is a Methodist. During a recent revival in the city, it is said six hun dred persons were converted under her preaching. St. Paul ! The colored people of Anderson met a week or two ago, and endorsed Grant's plan of annexing San Domin go. They want to go there-rather political leaders want them to go, be fore they all become Democrats. Al ready over one hundred negroes in that county have paid taxes to the Hampton government. The Mayor and Aldermen of Co lubia think it a good time to raise salaries, and accordingly do so. The Register thinks otberwise, and so says. The Mayor pitches into the Register, through the Union-Herald. The Register pitches into the Mayor. Whereupon they have quite a lively time. WASHINGTON, February 9.-The Electoral Commission, by a vote of 8 to 7, decided that the four electoral votes of Florida should be counted for Hayes and Wheeler.

In fact, .Editor, where did these dough-faced alled carpet-baggers hail from? >u can't prove it hy rae.-ED.) If know, be kind enough to speak out I tell it. As the darkey said at Frog rel, "Tell dat ting agin; I wish to I Lucy was here to hear dat ting." 1 I dare say that darkey will make ian yet before his mother.

The whites and blaicks - moving along splendidly; the blacks ak out for reform and down with this rule and ruin that have so long in ed this State. We have a Demo tic club known as Bethel Democratic Ti b No. 3, Township No. 9. This club i full blast, holds its meetings once onth, and has call meetings as often convenient for the transaction of iess. It has its colors unfurled to breeze and intends to keep them so the future. This club has a mnem- Pe ship of near one hundred, and at it one-fourth are blacks. They come - and attend our meetings. We re re accessions at every meeting. And er ,Mr. Editor, should be here and r them denounce the carpet-baggers, 0 tell how they were duped into ing for Chamberlain and his ring; I do think if some of them would as in an appearance they would be ce vinced of the truth that we could re their services for a time. see nothing of the other clubs that sit e in full blast some time ago.
