Brightest star tbat ever gemmed
Zbe Frenchman's changeful sky;
Stoutest barque that ever stemmed
The red waves or rrance to ate.
He bowed him At Ambition's shrine,
And drained the cup Bhe gave,
'Till druken with the ruby wine,
He lived her ?bjeot slave.
He followed where her phantom light
Lured on, to endless flame, (
r Spread consternation dark as night
And wen a deathless name.
She led to Lodi's brilliant field, ,
At the Pyramids crowned with bays,
At Venice brightened sword and shield,
And low Aboukin's Sultan lays.
Marengo, Jena, Linden, all
Were steps in his upward flight, (
Nations and kings he held in thrall, 1
Nor trembled at the dissy height. i
Kingdoms and kings, he made at will, J
Made them with the Frenchman's steel, '
Of adulation, drank his fill, I
While he crushed with his iron heel. j
But the Eagle had soared above his 8
heieht. t
Falling, trailed his wings in the dost; t
A lonely exile he took his flight, r
And his bright sword oonsumed with .
rust.
t
Moscow's ohilly snow-clad plain, 1
And Leipsio's direful fray, j
Weeping tears of blood above the slain,
Foretold this fearful day.
Then, last of all, dread Waterloo,
Where all save life was lost, *
Liberty, friends, all save the few l
Who shrank not from the frost: I
But shared the exile's lonely home
Far out in the tropic sea, 1
Where amid the wind and dashing feam 1
Death set the prisoner free. I
At list a brief repose had found
Ambition's storm tossed child, I
Wrapped with his martial cloak around, I
'Neath willo vs on the rocky Isle. ,
Brief indeed the peaceful rest
Of the victim of adverse fate, '
'Till France moved his head upon her '
breast, j
Repentant when too late. (
From Tiller's Ferry. [
Mb. Editor : We have all settled ;
down to quiet again since the nomioat- I
in it coorention is orer. The only thing <
that ruffles the even trnor of our ways I
are the actings of the Equalisation <
Board. Lead, deep and bitter are the i
complaints ag-?in?t it for the manner in I
which it has equalized. For instance, i
it reported that those fine blooded Jer- I
eey, Aldrrney and other sorts of fancy
caftle were asnssed at $7 per head, and
all thos' bunche# of bones and hair 1
roaming orer the saad hills, through !
coortesy called cows, are assesRcd at the

same price. into mw >A..?. ^ ?
man out here happened to have a small I
field on which he had put a great deal t
ft of cotton seed aod other manures, caus* i
ing it to yield hiui a fine crop, and hia
~ entire land, including a large body of j
- pura sand hills, ">n which the pines were
? Loxt-d and w >rke?i for turpentine, was (
.? ''equalized" up to the Talu* of those
few acres of rich land, raiding the valuation
to the tune of $900 more than he
returned it at.
^ O tempora! Freedom shrieked and the
baby waked."
In our memorable campaign of '76, 1
' Reform" was our battle cry? ' Home {
rule and reform" was on every tongue, 1
The endless array of useieee offices crea- '
ted under the Radical regime was one of '
oar texts; and yet, which one of tbeoi <
has been abolished ? It takes the man, '
who ishimself on oath, a township board, '
a county board and a State Board of
Equalisation. assessors, grabbers, or |
whatever else you please to call them, |
to pass sentence upon his sand hil's and '
what few old pit w sroclcs, chickens, etc., ,
be had before it can b" ascertained what ,
they are worth. It has been said tbat |
change is not- reform. "A rose by any
other name wouU smell the same," and
?so would a po e cat. Those whom we
have pat in high positions had better 1
have a care. Already there are mat- '
terings of dissatisfaction that threaten 1
an eruption. The people have learned 1

Judge Holland went out to Tiller's
Ferry last week, to sit with Judge Shaw
upon a case that seemed to require
their combined wisdom to decide. But
the parties to the suit had compromised
their differences before tbt Judge arrived;
and hence our court records has
lost the opportunity for a valuable addition
to its decisions.
