Love is the crowiniig grace oflitmnnityi and the golden liik which binds one fond lieat to another. When love pie sides, lie restless fea-s of many sleeploss nights are forgotten in a "penCee which the world can neither give no: tOke awny ." Coleridge describes lovn as an absorption of Pelf ini ah idea dt'arer than W6lt. When one is disappointed in love, and if the disappointment altl pain is so great lie can shift his own fibode at will, and taking as it were the wings of the moini)g and "fly to the uttormost parts of the earth and bd at rest." When a woman loves tenderly and loses the object of her affections, she niever participates in the pleasures -of the world, and her sliitibbrh at'o bo ken by melancholy dreams, and soon he sinks into an untimely grave, none knowing the ca;e which has blighted her happiness ; but this shoulti never be the case, "for it is botter to hitve loved and lost thane never to have loved at all.'s Woman was made to be loved, and it is nothing more than natuial that she ihould expect to be in every instance, for she was givei to a man as an belpmate, and it is his d ut y to protect and provide for her.

AN OUTSPOKEN APrlOVAL OF THE lO KLUX LAW-NO iEMICDY nUT TInn BALLOT. The following is Vn ectrnt. from the cbarge of Judge James L. Orr to the grand jury of Pickens County. delivered on Mondav last : Since November, '1868, when your first ciurt was hld after the divi sion, there have been only twenty seven bills of indietment haind ed to the grand jury by the solicitor itp to the p-reent term of the court-three years ! Your popullation is net l-ss than ten thousand. 1lave fewer vio lations of the rights of persons or pr.[iorty been committed anywhere in the United States, as exhibited by these statistics, by an equal popula. tion, than ih t- o County or Pickens ? Yours are preAeminently a law-abid ing and law-enforcing people, Perce, order and prosperty pervades as a result in your botders. No disquiet, alarm or interference with your usual avocations iave overtaken you. The contrast here, with the situation pre vailing in several of the counties of the State, is si ng'ilarly favorable and gratifying to you. However men may differ in their opinions as to the wisdom and justice of the course pur sued by the Fedcral Goverunment in suspending the writ of habeias cor'uts in several of the counties of the State --and is due to frankness that, I should, as an individual, say it was, in my j udgement, a necessity-it is very certain that the counties that frowned down all unlawful combina tions-tho 3ounties that have pro tected person amd property by law the counties where peace, (uiet and good order have prevailed-have been cxeipted from the stern provi.ions %f the Pres.-ident's proclam ation suspend iig the )Aa/os c ~orpu. l'ersist in the good conduct which has marked your history for three years past, and be assured the privileges of halwas c'npu will never be denied to the County of Pick 'n. You have been taxed more bc:vilv for three yea'rs past than ever before, and complaints are made in many quarters that larger sums are collect ud than a judicious economy would justify, -and charges are preferred that there is not a faithful disbursing or accounting for the cullesor anJ it is recoinmended in som quarters thit the people should refuse to pay the taxes imposed for the fiscal year ending 15th Jaulary next. Such advice in my opinion is ill.judged and wil! werk out pernicious results. Under our system of government the remn-dy for leginlative ind exeen Live mnlcasance-and the only safe and legitimate remiedy.-is the lallot box, It may be slow and embarrass ing, but,soouer or later, evils whichi may be subjects of just complaint will there be corrected. But the man or community who tundertakes to oppose the laws of the State under which they live, by force or violence, will surely come to grief ; they will mdst certainly find the arm of even an ob- I noxious law stronger than their best concerted oppocition, until repeal d by competent authority. As law abiding citizens you will, T am sure, hesitate long before you rcslvc to resist the tax laws passed b.'y the Legislature, whether you thIink them opprc.sive or otherwise. ii' thle pul lie oflicers charged with collectinlg and disbursing the public funds have been guilty of fraud or peculation, let their mnisdeeds be ferreted out, and the guilty brought to punishmuent.
