The Star in the Cloud.
BY FANNIN.
This eve the sun in glory sank,
In royalty ie bowed;
But, left behind a gorgeous hank
Of gold and crimson clouds.
High in the east the moon arose,
In regal beauty crowned,
To grace the eone of evening's close,
'Mid zephers sweetest sound.
But in this cloud of beauty raro
Upon its airy throne,
A g-lden star of jewt-la glare,
Sat regnant all alone,
No other star its graniduer shared,
It reigned a sister giucon,
Unto tie moon tha'. proudly peered,
With smiling graceful nein.
I watched It glow in splendor bright
And wield its magic wand,
Me thought those atreams of brilliant bright,
Told of an Angels hand.
That kindled every golden beam,
With Lleaven's magic touch,
The heart, will fondly meet the gleam,
That gently falls from euch.
But darker ahadows gathered round
The light, fauttas:io cloud,
With serpents coil thoy softly wound,
Within its gorgeous shroad.
The orlhnson tinis began to fade,
The gold was melting too;
What had been beauly. then was shade,
Upon the boundless blue.
Darker grew the midnight. cloud,
It. gloomy frowned afar ;
Still upward, ever grand and proud,
Arose the evening atar.
I watched it on its darkened throne,
Me thought that was the way,
That [lope in life forever shone,
Through bright or clouded day.
The breeze arose beyond- the'vale,
And fanned the courts of lleaven,
And by the rising of the gale,
The midnight cloud was riven.
Then brighter shone the golden star,
That ceased to reign alone,
For other stars oano from afar,
And round their Princess shone.
Homely Iilty.
BY LOTTIE BROWN.
"You may talk as much as you
please about freckles, Belle; it don't
plague me a bit. I'm sure I have
not thought of catohing of Mr. Irving,
and if you have, why I hope you will
succeed."
Hilty Glaymer went on sifting the
flour for her tea cakes, and sang meri
ly, and Belle turned the page of the
new magazine and glanced contemp
tuously at the busy little figuo in the
pantry.
"There's no sense in quarreling,
Hilty," said Mrs. Glaymer. "Of
course, we all regret very much that
you are not as pretty as Belle, or
pretty at all, but surely it will be far
worse if you persist in being 8o wick
ed and envigus "
Enviousi. Hilty gave the pitcher
of eam which she hold in her
hand an energetie tip, and its foamy
contenta went with a splash into the
broad-pan, and sent the light flour in
a cloud.
*'And as far Belle trying to catch
Mr. Trving, I'm sure I think she will
find it no great trial, unless he is
blind. A man who has traveled, as
we know be has, and yet has said
that his heart was so truley American

Bulle, is the most becoming thing you
eyer -wore. Bless me, there's Bob,
not, with Irving. Do run up stair-s,
for it will look as though you were
watohing for him if you remain here.
Come down very carelessly, denr.".
-"HJeigh-ho !" Ililty shook the flour
from her white arms, and stood back.
"'It is a jpity 'm iso ugly. Dear me,
I shall be glad when Belle is taarried,
for upon my word, I believe that her
beauty makes mte look uglier. Heow I

No,sheo had but a few freckles, and
those only stretched across the sandy
nose, and she was by no mneans ugly.
There was a wonderful lot of bronze
hair wound in a smooth, shining co(il
around her, and hber skin, but for the
few freckles, was transparently fair.
She bad cheeks like the heart of a

If Hilty, could have seon herself
just then, with the blood stealing in
a ieb flood over her face, and her
head turned shyly towards the door,
she would hAve been well pleased
with the sight.

"Yes, I do ! I like it. Miss Hilty,

"Yes, sir," she laughed.
"1 shall eat nothing els.'
The voice of Mrs. Glaymer took
them away, and they entered the
parlor to meet the lovely and languid
Belle, to whom this college friend of
her brother's was the rook on which
she founded her matrimonial hopes.
"Well, he is not proud, and that is
a great comfort, I am sure," said
Hilty, as she went out with the pan to
the oven.
"D.!ar me I wouldn't it be charming
to have the table out under the trees ?

dentist's, and we should have no one
to keep the flies away," said Hilty,
from the inside.
"I quite agree with her, Miss Glay
mer. I do not admire romance as I
do comfort."
Hilty laughed, perhaps with a little
triumph in her voice and glanced out
at her stately sister.
"Pray don't mind Hilty, Mr. Irv

lation ; "she is shocking sometimes."
"I assure you she does not shook
me,'" he said.
The summer days flew swiftly, and
making much of her time, Belle
thumped the Piano and read poetry ;
went on siiling and botanizing with
their guest, and kept Hilty forever at
the ironing board with her collars and
ruffled dreses.
Guy Irving found time to look into
the kitchen once and a while, and a
half-hour was spent on the stoop of the
back door, shelling peas or sorting
beriies for the busy little kitchen girl
who, at such times, was always at her
post in the pantry, where he could
plainly see her by turning his hand
some head.
"le will make Belle a splendid
husband," she would say, as she
watched the white hands so much
whiter than hor own, busy with his
good-naturedly given work. "It will
be nice to call him brother. My, but
I will kiss him, as true as I live, the
very moment they are married I"
"Hlilty," said he, one moi ning when
they chanced to be quite alone-Miss
Belle being in her chamber with her
hair in curl papers, and Rob out in
the hay-field-"why don't your sister
help you, once and a while ? Don't'
she know how "
"Well-no I Belle is very sensi

has been away to Echool so much that
she could not learn, as I have and

answered, with a A-sh.
"I suppose you are not sensativo 1"
"No, I suppose not. But you

to write splendid French songs-that

lie became very silent, and Hlilty
hertily wished that she had said
nothing, for he looked so grave that
sme was quite sure she,had offended
him.
"Hlilty, dear, Belle is not able to
come down to dinner, and she must
have something light carried up to
her," said her mother, looking in
from the silting-room door, with a
gesture, bidding to eome to her,

t Latest from Laurens.
A supplement to the Laurensville
Herald, dated Monday 24th. enables
ua to give the following: The chibf
actor fl' all the villaintes previous to
the disturbance of the 20th, was Joe
Crews. For weeks before, 1p91e
families had never undressed for bed,
so greit was the alarm caused by
Crews' teachings and exhortations to
burn and kill. The negroesi were told
by him that they had the State gov.
ernment, and must keep it or die;
that it was necessary for their liberty
that he should be elected ; he had pit
arms in their hands; they niust use
D them ; they had the toroh-and match
D es were cheap. They must burn and
destroy ; and that all over fifteen
could vote, as lie had pasted the law
I himself. The building occupied by
Crews was an old one-- known as :Tin
Pot. Ard here, flanked., by negro
s stores, he had his office ; and hero,
t al8o, he had an armory of State guns,
9 about 1,000. Besides this armory lie
D had a number of guns it his own resi.
i dence, which was regularly loopholed
and fortified. Joe refused to allow

among the managers at the polls. Joe,

'Error Wounded"-A Virtuons Iffort is a
Success-No Giving Atway.
Whates'er the result of the recent
election, as to the general tieket,
much good has been done.
When some of our friends doubted
the ;olioy of our placing iin the field
oaudidutes for Governor and Lieuten
aut-Governor, Ae argued that this
course ought to be adopted-that it
was essential in this way to give force
and point to the opposition. Ve
coutended further, that it was impor. I
tatnt to give an earpose of the flagrant
frauds and- plu.ndeirings that had. char
acterized the radical regine, and wo
said l9t the thinders 9f our. incigna
tion be heArd, and let the lightnings
of truth go forth to scathe the enumies
(ifthe State. This has been done,
and. well done. "Error wounded"
writhes in pain--and strike it again
and again, until it "dies among its
worshippers." Look at the exposurea
that have been made :
Starting with the Executive, the
damning charges made by lampton
and Butler and Carpenter and others
will cling to Gov. Scott like the shirt
of Nessus. In general, the charges
made, proved, established against the
ring of plunderers and corruptionists, I
will not soon be forgotten, and those
men stand pilloried 'in shame before
the country. Nor will the good seed
sown broadcast over the State fail in
good time to bring us albtarvast of
good. Outside of the practical results
the Reform effort is a snccehe, because
it was an effort in behalf of truth and
v i rt ue.
Let us go on, resolved to carry on
our opposition until we recover the
power and the influence to which we
are entitled by nature and nature '
God. It is the God-given right and
province of the white man of the
South. to give tone and direction to
Southern civilizAtion. Denying to the
colored men no right to which they
are entitled before Heaven and man
kind, let us nevertheless assert and
win that supremacy to which wo shall
show ourselves entitled by superior
genius, vittue and enterprise. ''o this
great work we command and summon
thd age, the youth, the inanhood-of the
South.

Martinique, on learning of the war in
France, and thinking possi'l - ' a e te
opportune time had. ar-r. 'i a mu. mll
to make a strike for ie.tj, u.(Lr
took a rising on the 22d ultitmo, and
commenced the establish ment of thoir
freedom. on a foundation of fifty
burning plantations and the murder
of possibly as many people. This
for a commencement, shows the foirce
and -bloody spirit which animates
these misguided people. Lod on by

lated to disturb the peace of the island,
the negroes haove again been incited
by the same ill advisors to - desperate
acts of murder and the destruction of
property. On such a basis they are
going to raise the public. With
Hayti as a model, taking it for grant
ed that they may be successful in
their present attempt, the colored in
habitants of Martinique will have all
the occupation -they desireo in risings,
revolutions, charges of 'President,
ous inrg of ministers, tnakinag of generhas
and all the usual dieturbancos which
characterize peoples who bevo not the
niost remnote or intelligent' idens of the
true meaning of tpublicanismi, and
who are wont to associate the freedona
of crime with thii ideas of liberty.

graph thus describes the manner in
which European news is sent over the
cable :
"'lere is a man sitting in a dark room
at Ileart's Content. The ooenu cable
terminates here. A fine wire attach
ed thereto is made to surround the
two small cores of soft iron. As tho
electric wave, produced by a fow
pieces of copper and zino at Valentia,
Islses throigh tho wire, these coros
boome magnetic enough to move the
slightest, object. A looking-glass half
an inch in diameter, is fixed on a bar
of iron one-tenth of an inch squaro
and half an inch long, On this tiny
glass a lamp is made to glare so tha6
its light is reflected on a tablet on the
wall. Tho language of the cable is
denoted by shifting this reflected light
from side to side. Letter by lotter is
thus expressed in this flitting idiom,
in utter silence, on the wall. There
is no record made by the machine ex
ceptas ihe patient watcher calls out
to a comrade the translated flashes as
as they come, and which he records.
It seems like a miracle of patience.
There is something of awo creeps over
us as we see the evidence of a human
touch three thousand miles away
swaying that tide of light."
GovERNMENT IN TilE AIR.--Tho
incidents of war, ancient and modern
have been very curious, sometimes
very extravagant, always very tragi
cal. But in all the history of war,
the remotest times, nothing so extraor.
dinary has ooourred as the present
state of affairs in Paris, where the
comnuniation with the outside world
and even with the reat of government
at Tours, is confined Sto the aerial
ohances of a balloon flight. The gov
erument of France to-day cannot be
strictly located either in Paris or in
Tours. It is rather up in the air.
The deoroes and proclamations of the
government, the thoughts and plans
of the Ministry, are submitted to the
mercy of the hroezo tnd the skill of
tho aeronaut. Gambotta himself,
laden with despatches of mgomentous
import, has to take h is chances in an
air oyago from Paris to Tours. The
populace cheer him as he departs. If
Paris were not sad to-day how Paris
would laugh at this adventure. But
it is one of the necessities of war, and
surely it is one of the most curious

hii-tory. of warfaro.-N. Y. lcrahL.
