A man I know's the hungriest one That ever saw the light; His gormandizing's never done, lie's such an appetite. The story brought to me, you know py little listening birds, Was that - dtgy or two ago He firstly ate his words. Then going home, he from a shelf A ponderous volume took; And there alone quite by himself, He soon devoured the book. Still pangs of hunger ne'er forsook This most voracious male, Not only he devoured the book, Bat swallowed, too, the tale. And yet be longed for more to eat; Yes, still he craved for more, Until to make his meal complete, ,uilk bolted he the door. A TREASRY ROMANCE -0 Kittie 1Rayno sat in the veranda and whistled 'Within a Aile of* Edinboro' Town,' while John fenwiek sat in ti patio and scowled fiercely at the portrait of that young lady hanging over the mantel. But scowling didn't seem to have any effect on the portrait, and his anger seemed to have about as much on the original. The truth of the matter, was, there had been a lover's quarrel. They p:i been engaged for six months. That was a long time for Kittie to keep her flirting pro pensities in cheek. But she had don-e it, and congratulated herself, on the ViPtoy she had gained. Why is it that just as Soon p we think we have ourselves undee control, something comes along to tempt us, and in a good many cases we find that we are not mas ter's of ourselves after a!!. I doit know why'it is, I am sure. Kittie didn't either. .But just about the time she began to'plume herself on her conquest Qai'i .D,avenpor't came along, and straight way up popped the old penchant for flirt ing. I.t see!gedj t her thbat she cudn't help flirting with Daven port. He was handsome and jolly, and there was sot'ethig about him which seemed to dare her,. She knew John wouldn't like it, that people would talk, and that her mother would institute a course of' daily lectures--but she kept on flirting. John~ did care, and by-an by he pop ie ter about it. 'yoa ar'en't jealous, I hope T~ she said. -l'd navey have thought that of' you, Joh~n Fen wick ; never!' --No, 1 am not jealous.' he r'e plied. 'But I don't like to see you so thoughtless. Would you like to have me flirting with Miss Powel' or Miss Covert as you [flit with Davenport ?' 'Oh, I shouldn't care the least in the world,' she laughed back. 'It's recal fun, John. Try it and see.' That was all the satisfaction he got then. By-and- by he touched on the subject again, and they! came near having a lovers' quar rel. But John, who had a horror of lovers' quarrels, had the good sense to stop) before they got to angry words. But now the quar rel had come in dead earnest. For half an hour there had been a tempest raging in the parlor. Kittie took up her position on the veranda and whistled to sho0w how little she cared, and he sowled. To listen to her, he con cluded at that par'ticular momn~t her sole object in lif'e was to see ow many runs and trills and other emnbellishments~ she could get into 'Within a Mile of' Edin boro' Town.' At length he went out to her. '1 want to come to some under standing in the matter,' he said. 'I'll tell you what you must do. Either stop flirting with Daveni port, or' "Or break off' our eugagemlent; is that it1?' she asked, with a half' finish in her cheeks. 'Precisely;' he answered ,grave ly. 'I have borne it as long as I can. If' you really care fo:- h im, our em it. is mnch better Mtar u to understand the matter. If you don't care for him, I have a right to insist' 'You insist !' 8e1 cried, With fiashing eye. -You insist ! Id haVe you to nill derstand, John Fenwick, that neither you nor any other man can order me to act according to your sovereign will and pleasure. I shall do just. as I please, sir.' 'Very well,' he answered, stern ly. 'You understand the conse quences, then.' 'I do,' she said, scornfully, 'You need not wait for them. You can have your freedom now. Here's your ring; keep it for some wo man who will allow herself to be di.tated to, and will come and go at your royal will. Good-l-.orn ing, Sir.' And then she went in and sht he door in his face. Kittic, from behind the curtaiti, saw him go :twav without once looking back. 'To dare to toll ino what I must Jo or must not do !' she cried. A'll show hig)!' By-and-by better thoughts came to her. "I suppose I was to blame,' she said, reluctant to ac knowledae it even to herself. '.lut be neednit have made a fool >f himself by being jealous of me. Ele ought to have known that i idn't care for the goose of a Davenport; but men can't see an nch ahead of their noses. I'll let im think Im mad for awhile ind when he has had time to be ,shaned of hinself, I'll come round a little and be good, and 3verything will turn out nicely.' Kittie's plan was good enough, but it failed to work. V{hen She ot ready to take 4ohn back into er good gries lio hwd gone -way1 and she didn't Unovw were. 1'he days slipped by, and Kittie oped he would Comc back or write, but her hope wae a vain )!,. Ie bad eviden>tly taken her at her word, and benceforth they were to be strangers to each theor. 'And I wais the only one to blame,' sobbed Kittie. "It was all miy doing, and I loved1 him.' : 4 * * * It was a drowsy summer d'4y. The wind was languid with warmth, and seemed to make the day more depressing in its in Buence on the brain and body han it would have been if no breath of air bad stirred the rooping leaves outside the open window. Gatigri ne fRayne stood at her desk in the treasury budlding at Wgbipgton, and went through her work in a mechanical way. It was hard to keep her thoughts on it this sluggish afternoon, when everything seemed ready to .woon for want of a fresh brat of cool ness to revive it. A great change had come into her life since she gave back John Fenwick's ring. A sudden col lapse of' the bank in whbich their money had been deposited had left her and her mother depen dent upon their hands for the bread they must eat and the clothes they must wear. It need ed some such blow to bring out the strength of her character. A friend in Washington had procured her a clerkship in tihe treasury department, and she had come there, bringing her mother, who was little better than an in valid. Whbat she earned was enough to keep them comfortably, and she was thankful for that. She had grown to be a grave and thoughtful woma~n. T'he yars bad come and gone; she was thirty now, with silver threads beginning to show in her brown hair, and little lines of care about her mouth. In all these years she had neard but little of ,Iohn Penwick. She knew that he was getting to be a prominent man at tbe WVest. But that was about all. It had always seemed to her that they would meet again somewhere. Lovng him as she had done, she felt wbat it is to lose and in the bitterest way loss can ever come to us. Ever since they had known her in the treasury department she had carried that look of pa tent s'orrow in her eyes. .1 amn sure there must be some romance in Miss iayne'-, U, iir (.' declared Suie Vernoi;. -i wish i knew what it 'as.' 'She isn't, looking at all weil ltelv.' said Susie to her ighbor. this drowsy dy. 'She is ove working,.- herseilf. She'll be (-wN conpleteiy if she isn't, careful!. There was a sound of VoiCS Lt the door, and one of the treasur" officers came in with som !en tiemen. VisiLprs were so Com mon that no one gave them ibut a passing giance as thev entered. then work went on as usual. Catharine (lid not look up. But she became aware, by some subtle influence, all at once, that some one was watching her. She look ed up then, and gave a little cry that was almost a sob. 'Kittie!' It was John Fen wick's V>ice that sro'e. It w;m his hand that was outstretched in welcome. 'Haven't you a word of welcome for a1 fellow i' he said, lvoking down into her face questioningly. 'I am glad to see you, John" she said, and then burst into a sudden fit of weeping. 'I have not forgotten in all these years,' he sai4, gravely. 'Do y ou care for me, Kittie ?' 'I never cared for any one else, she Said. 'I was wicked. I saV it all afterward.' 'See here,' he said, gently, and she looked up ani saw the ring she had givenhiim back years ago. 'Will you wear it again, Kittie? I have had a lonely life. If you would wear it ! She held up her hand. Hle slipped the yelow pirclet on h-er Ofigr, and then and there bfre many wotdeling eyes he kissed her. The weariness seemed to I have suddenly gone out of her tace and life. Aod iusic Vernon knew that I there had been a romance in Miss Rayne's life, and that this was the best and happiest part of it. SUJPREM1E COURT D)ECIS1ON. Sta~te of South Carolina, in the Supreme Court, 1November Term, 1878--D. P. Duncan vs. S. Barrett---Opinmon by Willard, 0.3J. IThe Circuit Court discharged a rule against the sheriff for failure to enforce an execution against personal property, consisting of cottop in~ bales,' seed cotton and corn, the defendant claiming that they are exempt froml1evy under the provisions of the act of March 13, 1872, (15 Stat. 229, Sec. 9) be being an "agri'eultural laborer. it is stated in appellant's aru meet that the contract upon' which the judgment was obtained boreo date prior to the passage of the act in question, contending that such exemption could not be claimed as against an antecedent contract ; but that fact. does not appear in the brief; and, therefore, is not available to the appellant. The question to be considered is, whether the Legislature could create ncw subjects of exemption in addition to those enumerated in the Constitution. The pro visions of the Constitution relating to the exemption of personal prop erty from execution are contained in Section 32, Article 2. After providing for' a homestead exemp tion on the land of a debtor, the Constitution goes on to say: "To~ secure the full enjoyment of said homestead exemption to the per son entitled thereto or the head ofI any family, the personal proper ty of such person of the following character, to wit : household fur niture, beds and bedding, family library, arms, carts, wagonus, far ming implements, tools, neat cattle, work animais, swine ,goats and sheep not to exceed in value in the aggregate the sum of five bundred dollars, shall be subject to like exemption as said home stead, and there shall be exemp.jt in addition thereto all necessary wearing app)arel." The question is, whether the subsequent at-! temp)t to add to the list of articles exempted "one third of the an ual products of agricultural Ia borers," by the act of 1873 was consistent with the provisions of t he Contitninoll enactment or C!GC dt,o eyI i proper force oe to th.e same ; a11d if the latLer C;Clusisi is reahed.1. such con itig prov isin mwt be held uncon(Ostituitional and void. Thijs involves a questionI of in. it..1 .on 'Uo be 0d o t construct ivc1- on tle provisiOnsof the Con itutIon. It iS colitended that the unumeration of kinds of propcety intedll(l for exem.ptin is exuln sive. and general rules of interpre tation are urged as leading to that cinclusion. It vill not be ne cessary to resort to such general rules, or to place the decision on aniy technical rule or reasoning, as the nature of the subject with which the Constitution deals points very distinctly to the solu tion of the question at issue. The question of allowing legis lative exemption to debtors is in its nature fundamental, a: invol ving an inquiry into the primciples 4. grovernim'ent. Until within a few yeats it has not been regarded as a legitimate exercise of'legislative power to place the property of the ebtor beyond the readb of his reditor, eCept to an inconside i4bie extent. .Not that the com peteincy of the Legislature to make such exemptions indepen. dently of constitutional restric tions, was doubted, but b.eause the Spirit of the laws was sup po*ed to o.ppose suoh exercise of iegidlative power. It may well b considered that in soiving the question of the legitimacy of such legislation, the constitutiq n had in view f liiAit that should be im osed on its unrestricted exercise. WV hen it iq troating of subjects that Iave been constantly dealt with by legislative bodies, with "o sanefin of the oar4s and the cmmuni y, such an irece does not necsarily arise, In such cases some succial ground would have to appear by inferring, in the absence of an ex press declaration to that effect, that the Constitution, in prescib ing the mode in which a power of that class, should be exercised, in tended to exclude its exercise in any other mode. But in the present case where the constitu tion was dealing with a principle tudamental to the policy of our urisprudence, and which by its abuse might unsettle the very cornerstone on which "that juris prudence rests, it is obvious that in imposing limits to such power of exemption regard was had to the general question, to what ex tent government should go in re laxing the :..ws for the enfobrce ment of obligations. There can be no doubt that the object of the section in question was to limit the Legisiature. If the constitu tion had been silent aitoge-ther Onl the subject, the Legislature' would have, doubtless, been competent, as affecting future contracts, to ereate such exemptious, arid to give them any measure of extent that might appear desirable. Again, section 20 of article 1, confers express powers on the Leg islature to grant homestead ex emptions to a reasonable extent, leaving the determination of what is to be regarded as reasonable to the Legislature, so far as unfet tered by subsequent clauses of that instrument. If that section had stood alone it would leave in doubt as to the power of the Leg isature being unrestricted. But the constitution was not content with establishing this as a princi pe, and in section 32, article 2, assumeS to give a more accurate definition of the kind of legisla tion contemplated in the 20th see ion of article 2, enumerating the subjects to whbich it should extend and the limitations that should be established as affecting these sub jects. Such a definitiou as applied to a kind of legislation not sanc tind at the time of the adoption of the constitution, but introduced by that instrument, must be re garded(~ as intending limitation of the legislative authority. True, it is not the case of a power en tiiely new and not before capable of being exercised, given upon conditions and subjected to limi tations, in which case such con ditlins and limitations must be re garded as limitations of the right 01ercise. a well as the mode of xrs ut it I a caL om the samenu pc 1il as enum Ir a' execie afucton of* 'eneraile islation do 1t had a n orman: thru-'rij tie c nicti that ii as no1t a l C im ae 1 ii e rise o li.ive. powereoizsten2tly wiv b ThVis vieW leadis uS t ; the cnclu sion that the exi,mpions allowec by thei consitution cannot bL ex tended or- retricted by ay act (o the Legislatwre. This view does not conflict with what was said in Homestead Buildingr and Loan Association vs. Enslow, (S. C..) where, speaking of the degree of authority possessed by the owoer of lands in which a homnesteai might be e!-iimed to inc-umber his land, it is said, whether th e Leg. is.atur had Iot the right o ex tend the measures of rcIef afford. ed to the heads of families by the section above cited. under a more general grant of le-islative au thority set forth in section 20. article 1, of the constitution need not he considered, for no such ex. ercise of authority beyond the lim its of section 32, article 2, has been attempted." Tiis is a ques tion suggested, with no v,1wer to it. given bit it was not di rected to the question whether the Legislature could afford re lief beyond tho limits imposed by the constitution, but a more full relief within those limits. We must conclude that tho pr-Ovisions of the a of 18!3, so far as they aitempt to extond the exemption to a class of personal pioperty not embraced in section 32, article 2, are unconstitutional and void. ?Ie dicharro,f the rul' inust be set aside, a,d .' cau remanded for D'''.ceedings coni'ormable herewith.

TaE WAY 'TO TAL.-A certain farmer of our county was in our office this week anid we asked him nbout his intentions in the way of farming this year. lie said he intended to plant three acres of corn to every acre of cotton, and he planted the cotton v'ith the expectation of not getting more than Gi cents for it. HeI planted corn enough last year to keep him from taking a lien this year, and also raised his own meat. Hie now begins to feel like a free man once more. and never intends to try the lien sys tema again ; that as long as a man gives a lien on his cerop lie is the slave of the merchant, and his chances for freedom are less and less each year, until bankruptey finally over wheims him. Wc would be pleased to hear of more of our farmers taking thle same view of things, for business would then be placed upon a solid basis, and pr-osperity would soon smile upon our land. Farmers, take a lesson from this man's experience. [Camden Journal. Speaking of rude r-emark:s, any remark is rude that gets you into touble. m-Lik:Ing obijects-Clocks.
