Tt'rn not on me that skud'ring gate,
That loathing, fwond'ring look ;
)'ieroe hatred In my soul you raise
Man's aoerar I eannot brook.
And I can better bear to meet
A stranger's open sneer
Than smiles I know are falsely sweet,
Ono is at least sincere.
My wan, unearthly fazc you see,
And wonder frate could bless
A warped distorted wretch like me
With gilded hideousness.
Yes, I have Gold-the shining heap
To me a eurso has been ;
Distrust into any heart will creep,
When kindness else might win.
In youth's straig oar6er I ran,
Mysterious and bright ;
I feasted on the praise of man,
W hile shrouded from his sight.
And long I lingered in the shade,
Alone with book and pen ;
But tho' a glorious name I made,
I was not, happy thet.
But forth into the world must, bring
My hideous form and face ;
Aen wondered that so fond a thing
Could win so high a place.
In evil hour I laid aside
The friendly mask I wore,
Mistakvn, deerl-y punished pride
They worshipped me no more.
But while they shuddered, still they smiled,
For wealth immtaneuse was mine,
And friendship still mitne car beguiled,
Atid round my heart could twine.
And I had too a dream of love,
Lut tue not ouee ily sneer ;
Knaowest thou [lant intellect can move,
To noble hearts be dear.
Or so I thought, whon o'or my soul
A tlood ot'raptur6 swept
A first deep love, beyond control,
Into my lone heart, crept.
The witching beauty of her face ,
I have not, words to tell ;
On aor fair form of matchless grace
Reionibrance dare not dwell.
I bore her to my splendid home,
A lovely, gentle bride;
Through Its grand halls she loved to roan,
My trcasuro and my pride !
But soon site drooped ahd passed away
Consumaption bade us part;
'Twas no4 despair-how dare they say
ller's was a broken ieart, t
lh. talq 9t.those s1o knew her test
Long tielibaiM -will be;
They said h I-otlI r's stern behest
Uave that, fair bride to sic.
They e"Id than 1e had promised long
'ilmie another's lot;
It wa a tale of cruel wrong,
And [-believe it not.

That Order.
The Orangeburg News, in a ceontro
versy with the State Treasurer, uses
the following language:
'Mr. Cardozo charges Judge An
drews with having got Iluimbe:t to
cash the $6,001) order which brought
hin out a defaulter. In our opinion
the State 'reasurer would be reflect
ing his own interest by having as
little to say about the order in ques.
t tion as possible, We e'arge that he
P is as guilty as any one connected
b with the transaction. Judge An..
diews and H1umbert acted in good
faith, the former in receiving the
money and the latter in paying it.
Why ? Because the order was drawn
upon State funds, and Cardozo ac
cepted it, endorsed it as State Treas.
urer, with the promise to pay it as
coon as the appropriation bill passed.
Upon his Cidorsement, H11umibert
cashed it. Who is to blame in this ?
Cardozo for cashing the steond or
y duplicate otder, or 11 umbert, who
paid the original with the acceptance
of the Treasuirer ?"
The public, who feel a great intor,
est in this transaction, would like to
k learn from soine one who knows its
k entire history. This, we submit, is
c but reasonable in the public. The
0 defendants are before t e court, but
the other parties whose names are here
i'ientioned have no exeu.o for silence
about a matter in which they are so
mixed up. Will % r. Cardozo, or
Mr. Andrews, favor the country with
his version of the facts ? - Phwauix.

A "wad" or a "wed" is a wager, a

in the Episcopal marriage service,
the bridegroom says "and thereto I

means pledginv. But the lady says
"anad thercfore I give thee my t roth,''
a delicate concession that the bride1
word is good as her band, anad per.

bridegroom's "pledge."
