A great deal of history is made iu South Carolina? interesting bislory well woitli being preserved in permanent form, yet how inditfer?*nt mit our ]reoplo, mh a whole, to our history, Bays McDonald Furinan in I'ho Stale. Th most important political meeting held in Sumter during the last third of the Nineteenth century was 1ho gr at Hampton demonHtiatiou held October 7, 187G. it was eat'.mated by those who accompanied Gen. Hampton in his triumphant march through Carolina tii linve been the largest and most enthusiastic meeting held up to that time, with perhaps a single exception, that of Abbeville, in point uf numbers. Mr. Carl McKinley, a gentleman of scholarly attainments who is the author of "An Appeal to Pharnoh," was the eorrehpoisilent who reported the meeting to the News and Courior. There was one feature of the meeting of so striking a character and which appealed ho strongly to the audience that we allude to it here and will let Mr. MeKinley tell it in his own language: "Gen. Hampton and the other spenkeis dismounted from their enrriagesand approached thestand. As he entered the space between the ladies' stands, these rose up and showered down Howvra upon him and before lijin until the ground beneath his feet was carpeted with them. A company of little girls, representing all the States, all olnd in white, met him half way, and strewed their tloral offerings in his way. "lint the crowning ceremony was reserved for the last. A fuir YOtinur trill, clad in monminc niwl bound with heavy chnins, to represent South Carolina stood on the verge of the stage, just where the speakers afterward delivered their addresses. As Gen. Hampton approached, and when every oye was fixed upon the two, and while he was yet but a few paces from her, at a word, as if by a magical touch, the habiliments of inoqrning and tho heavy chains fell from her at once, nnd she etood forth before him nnd the throng , clad in garments of snowy whiteness?a beautiful omblem of South Carolina redeemed. "Tho drama was well planned, well oxecutod, nnd its import roeognijied nnd acknowledged by such a burst of enthusiasm and shouting, and waving of hats and hankorehiefB, and roars of cannon us made the seene truly a most impressive ono. As the elank of the falling chains was licmu, Gen. Hampton raised his eyes, nnd seeing the beautiful child bofore him, nnd understanding the new tribute paid him in her person, his fnco flushed, and lie bowed deeply and : - ' : W-. :?v ' 1 V.to*- # t u t&5 ' reverently to her ami to the inulti tude. He spoke a few kind words to her in an undertone, she took her place in the company of her sisters, and he ascended the steps "f the platform, and with his party took the seats placed for theui." "The Dead Never Die." For Tho Times. It has beon said that "the dead never die; that we can not act 01 , think hut that the soul of some . ono who has gone before points the way." itecently I paid a visit to the ! homo of a friend, and as chance 1 would have it my visit was made on the lirst anniversary of the ' tragic death of the youngest of four sons. Tho three sons that i were left, all under 15 years of age, J1 were busy playing the games that boys thoir age enj >y most. As my friend greeted me I noticed that his face wore a worried look, and tlint he seemed to take no not ee i of the loud noise his boys were ( making. After conversing with him a short while, 1 ventured to 1 ask if lie was not undergoing an unusual mental strain. "Yes," J Haul lie, "my good wife is in an- ! other room crying and moaning ! for the little boy that's dead and gone. How plainly and forcibly i memory brings to mind pictures and wordh of the baby passed before, and thoughts of whom till our hearts. One year ago he was vitli us?the joy and pride and light of our home. This day ho is gone?gone to that land where j i sorrow and grief are unknown. A ! : short while before you came the j little one's mother trudged to the grave and strewed it. with flowers, for beneath that sod was sleeping ( hor darling. She is yet heartbroken, and 1 cannot forget my < namesake." I tried to comfort my friend by telling him that tho little fellowwas better off; that he would miss the hardships and trials in store for his other sons. He seemed to cheer up, and said ho supposed that was so. S** i ^ 1 But words "viir>r.ot Ijy ;- Halt mother's heart. She iphi ijf phil- j 1 osopher, and does not w/of one to philosophize. "If \> ?r Kj had ] that baby back again; ()f ' snys, I ] and repeats it a hundred" ^ day, as she chides the other boys for their youthful capers. Then there is another cry. She finds some toy or garment worn by the little fellow, and more grief and sorrow follows. Can you blnnie her? If you nre a mother and have lost your idol, you can syin- 1 pathize; if not, you have no idea of the grief that comes to her when thoughts of that boy fill her mind. I know that this mother will visit tlint little grave a great many times this summer, and she will not go there a single time without shedding tenrs and moaning a wish i? i ii.-i i i i .' in 11uvl' niui l"jy muck till oni'lll. | Yet hIio knows that he is hotter ! otr, that nil liis troubles are- over, nnd that on the other side he will nwait her coming. Days may come nnd go, but they will not be the same to her, as when her bnby was with hor. Resurrection morn will join nil, nnd the littlo boy will be there too. B. AY. A Paying Patient.
