"?? AT PEACE. And I said, "She is dead; I could not brook Again on that marvelous face to look." But they took ray hand and led me in, And left me alone with my nearest kin? Once again in that silent place, My beautiful dead and I, face to face. And I could not speak, and I could not stir, But I stood and with love looked on her. "With love, and with rapture, and strange surprise I looked on the lips and the cold-shut eyes; On the perfect rest and calm content, And the happiness there in her features blent; And the thin white hands that had . wrought so much, Now nerveless to kiss or to fevered touch. My beautiful dead who had known the strife, The pain and the sorrow that v. e caU Life. Who had never faltered beneath her cross, Nor murmured when loss foUowed swift on lots; And the smile that sweetened her lips alway Lay light on her blessed mouth that day. I smoothed from her hair a silver thread, ?And I wept, but I could not think her dead. I felt with a wonder too deep for speech, She conic; tell what only the angels teach. And over her mouth I leaned my ear, Less there might be something I should not hear. Then out from the silence between us stole A message that reached to my inmost soul; "Why weep you to-day, who have wept before, That the road was rough I must journey o'er? Whymo'irn that my lips can answer not When anguish and.sorrow are both forgot? Behold, all my life I have longed for rest, Yea, e'en when I held you on my breast; And, now that I lie in a breathless sleep, Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep. My dearest, I know that you would not break, If vou could, my slumber, and have me wake; For, though life was full of things that bless, I have never till now known happiness." Then I dried my tears, and with lifted head I left my mother, the beautiful dead. ?James Berry Bensel, in Our Society Journal. The Diamond Fields near Klmberly. The seme at the bottom of the mine is remarkable. Scattered over the irregular surface are, perhaps, 2,000 Kaffirs, well made men, stark naked, and black as ebony. These men drill the blasting holes under the orders of the white miners, ' work out the loosened ground with pick and shovel, load and tip the tracks, take up-andielay the tramways as the levels alter, and do aU the hard work under white overseers, who are directed by the claim manager. To a stranger the scene is weird aud uncanny. The noise of the pumping engines, the resounding blows of the heavy hammers on the steel drills, the jarring noise of the iron trucks and their tipping, aud the wild appearance and un earthly shouts of the perspiring Kaffirs, aU combine to make one cast a longing glance upward, and hail with inward joy the sound of the bell above, which pro claim that,the day's work is done. The ascending trucks now carry up the white overseers and officials, while ^he Kaffirs SAvarm like black ants up preci pitous paths and hanging ladders, and in a few minutes the mine is silent, and ap parently deserted. Then the bell rings again, g iving the signal to fire the blasts, and solitary figures, white and black, are seen ruubing about with tiny sparks, and them making for the appointed shelter places. A few minutes more and the cannonade begins. The explosions shake the soli I ground on which you stand. The blue flies into the air or fails in masses. Huge slices of dangerous "reef." or waU, come down wiih thundering noise. Then once more all is still The smoke clears away, the dost settles, and again the ball rings, r.nd the "night shift" of miners and Kaffirs go warming down to their work. The blasting takes place at C and 12 o'clock, and the roar from the four mines atmidmght can be heard for many miles around.?Cor. London Standard. A Stranger Who Took the Cake. The young people of a certain church are constantly devising novel plans for taeir c'aurch socials. A short time ago they decided to have a tewing contest for young men, and the competitor whose workmanship was decided to be the best was to receive a very nice cake of liberal dimenidons, which the young ladies had baked. When the contest took place, among the dozen competitors was a strangjr. When the work was examined the young ladies were greatly chagrined to learn that the unknown gentleman's sewing was far superior to that of any of the others. Of course they were com pelled, but much against their ?will, to award him the cake. The next day the young ladies discovered that the winner cf the cake was a tailor, and they were maddest people who were ever connected with a churcc. The simple mention of the word ' tailor" now sends them into hyster ics.?St. Paul Pioneer Press. Subterranean Hotel at Niagara. "Why can not we," said a long-headed citizen, "have a subterranean hotel at Niagara, underneath the American falls, with a piazza looking out upon the vast sheet of falling water? All that is neces sary is to sink a shaft on Goat Island, tun nel straight out under the channel, blast out a cavern, put in iron pillars, if neces sary, to support the ceiling, and construct any sort of an observation platform you please, facing the fall from the rear. What more delicious place can you imagine in which to pass a sultry afternoon! A por tion of the veranda might be shut off from the spray by means of plate glass doors, bo no change of clothing would be neces sary for those who dislike dampness.? Buffalo Courier. War Preferable to an Election. Mrs. Henry Fawcett, in order to illus trate what she describes us "the deplora ble degree to which women let private selfishness pervert their ideas of public af fairs,"' mentions that about the year 1878, when England seemed to be on the brink of war with Russia, she heard the wife of a Liberal member of parliament say, "I ?would rather there were a war than a gen eral election, because the excitement of election always makes my husbaud ill.?

THE COLUMBIA SEMINARY. The Assembly Recommends the Removal of Dr. Woodrow. Augusta, Ga., May 20.?The Gen eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church concluded its labors to-night after nine day's session. The report of the committee ot the Sabbath strongly condemned the running of railroads and the publishing and reading of newspapers on Sunday; also the sending and receiv ing of mall. The cpuestion of the Colum bia Theological Seminary was finally settled by the following resolution, which was adopted by a vote of Go to 27: "Resolved, That whereas the General Assembly is convinced that Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., one of the Professors In the Columbia Theological Seminary, holds views repugnant to the Word of God and to our Confession of Faith, as appears both by his address published in the Southern Presbyterian Review of July, 1884, and iu other publications, and" by his statements made upon the floor of this Assembly: therefore, this General Assembly does hereby, in ac cordance with its action yesterday in regard to Its oversight of the theological seminaries, earnestly recommend to the Synods of South Carolina, GeSrgia, Alabama and. South Georgia, and Flori da, which direct and control said semi nary, to dismiss said Rev. James Wood row, D. D., as a professor in said semi nary, and to appoint another in his place and speedily to take such other steps as in their judgment will be best adapted to restore the seminaryXo the confidence of the church." Stock Lost by the Freshet. Says the Columbia Rigisler of Tues day : A telegrapm received by Captain ?W. D. Starling .yesterday from his man ner reports the loss of all his cattle, about one hundred head, many of them thoroughbred and grade Jerseys, oue tine mare and two colts. The water was several feet over the "Mount," the highest point on the plantation, which has never been covered before, and was at least three feet higher than the great est freshet of 1852. Messers. John Williams, John James. Joe Rates, Paul Joyuer and most of the others planters of the Fork low lands, from Eastover to Gadsden, lost heavi ly in stock. As to the crops, everything has been submerged, and the entire cotton crop is regarded as lost as well as their stocks of seed corn and cotton, forage, etc. On Messers. Secger's and Aughtry's plantations, which arc worked with con victs by the penitentiary, the work ex pended on the crops lias been lost, and comparatively little cotton will he made, but ample time remains to make a corn crop, which will be more productive as a result of the overflow. All the stock on these places was saved. A Notable Gavel. Referring to the closiugproceediugs of the General Colitcreuce of the M. E. Church South, the Richmond (Va) Dis patch says: "Bishop McTyeire was the recipient of a curious gift. It was a gavel from the tree that grew by the grave of Stonewall Jackson. Dr. LaJl'er ty had the instrument made. Its history is worthy of record. In 18C4 a geaila^. man in Clncinuatti seut through the Hues a twig of Paulonia imperial to Col. J. T. L. Preston, of Gen. T. J. Jackson's staff, with the request that it be planted by the tomb of the Confed erate warrior in the cemetery at Lexing ton, Va. It made rapid growth, and in years disturbed the modest mound. In 1884 Mrs. Jackson directed its removal. The sexton opened the earth, and the company present"found that the roots had gone directly to the coffin, and embraced, by curious curves and bond ings, the body of the dead champion of the South. The gavel was 'made from wood nourished by the mighty dead, and holding in its fibres the dust of the matchless hero."'_ Governor Thompson Declines. Washington special to the News and Courier: The secret of Governor Thompson's unexpected visit to Wash ington is out, as appears from a state ment made to-day by a gentleman who was instrumental in his coming. Said the letter: "Governor Thompson lias been here on a little visit to some of his friends, who desired him to become per sonally known to the President. He made a most favorable impression at the white house when he called with Senator Hampton, and was given to understand that an important Federal appointment would be offered him if he would consider its acceptance. The proposed appointment would have been highly complimentary to Governor Thompson personally, as well as to the State of South Carolina, but he said promptly that he was unwilling to re sign the ollice of governor merely to pro mote his own interests." a Flour 31111 Tumbles Down. Grand Rapids, Mich., May 28.? Last evening the entire interior of the Valley City Mills collapsed under the weight of machinery and grain.

The following paragraph is clipped from The Orangeburg, South Carolina, Tdies and Democrat, of last week: An indiscreet correspondent has stir red up a hornet's nest by asking the Hartford, Conn., ?Times "what became of the Mayflower?" The Times in gloriously dodges the question, and pretends that it has no reliable infor mation. But the truth of history must be vindicated. Tho St. Louis Republi can makes the point that the mer chants of the New England-ports out stripped all others in the slave trade and almost monopolized the business. There is good reason to believe that the Mayflower, after dumping Puritanism on Plymouth Rock, devoted the re mainder of its existence to the slave trade. If it didn't, let some Xew Eng lander give us the true history ot the vessel. Was the Puritan Mayflower a slave ship or not? Will Brother Riggs, of the Bristol, Conn., Press answer the question ? Now, Brother Sims, in the first place the Mayflower didn't belong to the Puritans, but was charted by them to bring them across the big ditch and set them down on Xew England soil, and they were in no way responsible for the use to which the littleboat was put afterwards. It was employed to carry them supplies and raiment twice, and then the Puritan element dropped out of it entirely. In the second place, Brother Sims, the Mayflower was English property, and if ever employed in transporting "niggers'' from Africa to American soil it was so employed by its English proprietors. In the third place, Brother Sims, the Mayflower was a slow old tub, requiring 65 days for its first voyage from Eng land to Cape Cod. You can judge from that how well adapted it was to run over from the African coast with a hold full of perspiring darkies. ? In the fourth place, Brother Sims, the Mayflower was so weak and un seaworthy when it brought over its first Puritan cargo, that those on board, when half seas over, seriously debated whether to proceed or return. But they sagely concluded , that as it was just as far, one way as the other they would waste no time in turning around. In the fifth place, Brother Sims, if by "slave trade"' is meant that with the colonies on American soil, it is almost a certainty that few blacks were land ed on our shores during the probable lifetime of the Mayflower, as the very first were imported only the year be fore the first band of Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. In the sixth place, Brother Sims, it isn't of any more consequence whether the Mayflower was engaged in the slave trade than it is whether Noah's ark was so employed. And indeel it is a well authenticated fact that Xoah's ark did bring Ham over the high seas, and he is accredited with being the smoked original of the whole negro race. In the seventh place, Brother Sims, this question was evidently raised to cast opprobrium on the Pilgrim fathers, as if they were so identified with the Mayflower as to make them, their heirs and assigns, responsible for the May flower's after career. Xot much. It was aB-these-emigrants- could do to "nfituiie King Philip and his fellow cop per-skinned braves, and they never had time to give a thought to the enslave ment of the far-off Africans, at least while the Maytlower kept afloat.?Bris toll Press. Client Out*. X. L. Buckhalter, who lives io the vicinity of Haltiwanger's store, sowed early last fall a field of tcu or twelve acres in oats. The oats came up and grew off finely, and got so tall that he cut and fed it to his stock. After cut ting, it came up again from the sward, and the second growth is now all cheat, or nine-tenths of it, A neighbor of his, Mr.'?eti Kinard, has a forty-acre field of cHeat, which was sown in oats in the fall. This is a new departure, for oats never has been known to turn to cheat before, and we commend the problem to scientific agriculturist for solution.? Edgefield Advertiser. Excitement In Texas.

Its name has be come a tower of strength, and has beTen well earned by the untiring devotion of President Harper and his associates. Its astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks which are best repelled by a frank and full exhibit of its greatly increasing line of business. Up to Jury 1,1885, this shows a gain of no less than Sin 214,580 over that; of the corresponping period last vear_ In June alone its mortuary receipts" ex ceeded ?230,000, of which over 500,000 went into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress upon which the association justly prides itself. Tins reserve now amounts to ?425, 000, and is employed for three purposes only?to pay death claims, if any should occur in excess of the American Fpperience Mortality Tables; to make good any poss ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account and to be apportioned among those who have been members of the Association fif teen years, etc. As the first and second contingencies named are not likely to arise, the third object is the one upon which the. fund is practically expended. It is full of other good points, among which may be mentioned the economical salary list?-less than ?50,000 for carrying on the whole work of the vast institution?and payments' to widews and orphans at the rate of over ?2,000 cash cash day.?From the old and conservative New York Daily Journal of Commerce, July 10,1885.
