The People's Journa] PICKENS S.C BoRROWING A NEWSPAPER Didou got the aper, Cyry ?" Mr Luther arter put is5 hoad out of thi vittn room door and spoke sharply. 61 Yop" Cyrus aproached with eas3 moderation and held it out. " Well, I guess you stopped to prin it on a hand-prose. I don't knov where in the world you take youl slowness from." Mr. Luther Cartez reoroesed the room to his easy chair adjusting his spectacles on the way His motions were all deliberate, an' suggested a probable reason for littlc Cyrus' slowness. Mrs. Luther Carter glanced up do Ereeatinly from her monding. "Now Luther,' she said, with meek disap probation in her voice. "Now, Luth or, you haven't been borrowing Androw Gamble's newspaper again ?" " That's hitting the nail nigher or the head than you ever did before Jane Ellen 1" " But you borrowed it yesterday Luther, and day before, <nd day before that." " And day before that-keep her agoin, Jane Ellen. I guess you can gc as far back as the flood." Mr. Carter's laugh cackled unmelodiously behinc the paper. " but it's dreadful mortifying to me Luther, anyway. It does seem as I we might take a newspaper ourselves and lend instead of borrow, a spell Then we'd see how it feels." One spectacled eye appeared above the paper's rim, followed shortly by its mate. Little Mrs; Luther withered under them. She fumbled for a now needle, clicking the scissors and spooli together, nervously. She had never ventured upon so bold a suggestior before, and already was deeply ropen tant. " Jane Ellen, you better darn those stockings, and I guess you can do I easier if you keep your lips shut-to." In at the open window stole pleasant flower-sweetened wafts of summer air Incessant, keen insect voices buzzed an clicked and sang. Within, for a while there was no sound but the genti crackle of Andrew Gamble's news paper; then Luther Carter spoke wit a gruff attem)t at apologetic goo humor. "When I'm in Andrew's luck, an iV, urie I never had and wast 0usu.-d after dies and leaves me pretty little mess of money, I'll tal the paper, Jane Ellen. I guess t then twont hurt Andrew if I do borro his." "That was a good while ago. should have thought Andrew'd spe It all long ago, Luther, building bar and things as lie did." Luther' Carter suddenly laid dom the paper. Ile gave a startled cry. " My good land,.what is it, Luthei You look all struck in a heap !" o claimed his wife. " He's dead, Jane Ellen " Who's doad !" Her voice roi shrill and anxious. " Andrew is- -Andrew Gamble 11 died this morning--'as we go to pres it says. There's a black mark a round the notice.

It is too la to obtain particulara of the sad eve for te-day' islsue." Luther Carter went to Lhe door al called. "Cyry !Cyry!" imiperativel Cyrus shufLd slowly in andl saut on t edge of a chair, awed by the solemni in his par ents' faces. "Cyry, did you see An-did you s the folks when you wont to borrow ti paper ?" Mrs. Carter groaned softly am wiped her eyes on Cyrus' undairna sock. SNope-guess there wasn't any bod at home. I0 loked all kind of shi up." Mrs. Carter groaned again. "Dldn you see anybody, Cyry ?" p~ersiste Luther. "Now you think real harn Who came to the doer ?" "Nobody did. I walked in, after I kept knocking e while," ".lBut who gave you the newspap~e Cyry ? Now you think." Cyrus began to look embarrassed u: der this fire of mysterious questions. " Well, nobody gave me the pape I took it. It's always lying on tI table, waiting to be taken. I gue Mrs. Gamble's got sIck of getting for me; and last time she told me to g into the sitting-room and get it mysel I had to hunt all round. it was und, the sofa. Say,,p~a, why don't we tal our own paper /? "Did she leek as I she'd been cr, lng, Cyry ?" quavered Mrs. Carter. " I didn't see her, I said-only hi picture hanging up. That looked re solemn. I guess somebody was cry in though, somewhere, I heard a snil sound, real loud." Luther and Mrs. Luther gazed gray ly at each other, sIghing. " Marietta's such a sensitive womi --poor Marietta !" raurmured litt Mrs. Luther, tearfully. She rose suddenly, upsetting t1 darnin -~basket. "Isim going rig down tere," she said. " I feel as I'd ought to. If I can't be any oth comfort to Marietta, I can wash up t dinner dishes and trim lamps. Cyr you run and get my shawl." She looked down thoughtfully her flower-sprigged dress.

An air hushed solemnity brooded over things, animate and inanimate, in i small dooryard. Poor Andrew's choice Plymoi Rock hens went about as if on tipt with drooping tail-feathers. To IV Carter's sensitive ear, even the cock's crowing had a doleful, drawn wail in it. She tapped again sOftl3. Nobi responded. Then adjusting the rops, she stole guenutly in the ktc had on Its prim afternoon dress, ani . looked unsocial and stiff. The faintes . possible hint ol clicking knitting needles drew the visitor unconselousI, , toward the Bitting-room. .Mrs. Andrew Gamble sat there knit ting In the still, dark room, She gavi a little start as Mrs. Carter enter-d. "Oh "she said, in a low voice, "l'a C:eal glad to see you, Mrs. Carter No, don't take that chair-that's An. drew's, and I can't bear it. Thi rocker's easier to your back. Und your shawl, do." "I had to come over, Marietat seemed as if I must. I couldn't bea1 the thought of our hitting hero al aloue. I wish I could help you Marietta, I wish I could I" Mrs. Gamble looked up fram her knitting quickly. " Yes, it is lone. some with Andrew gone," she said quietly. She was a slight, sweet-faces woman, and the loose wisps of hair turning gray, curlad around her face For a very little space neither of th( women spoke. The subduev. creak o their rockers sang a dirge in tht visitor's ears. She was wondering bo% Marietta cculd knit stockings, and look so composed, and curl her hair Still she had bon crying. Her eyeE looked reddened. Then the visitor spoke in a shari) whisper, drawling the words out solemnly. " Wasn't it dreadful sud done Marietta ?" "Yes, it was sudden. till, I'd boon expecting as likely as not it might happen. He's never boon real hearty." " No ?" Mrs. Carter assented, with a doubtful, upward inilection. Andrew had looked hearty, very. " Ever since he sprained his knee joint last fall he's boon alling especial ly; it seemed to use him up.' "I never noticed that he limped." "Well, he did, going up-hill and coming home after a long trip." Another pause, and another stanza of the creaking dirge. " When did--it happen, Marietta ? whispored Mirs. Luther Carter then. " Tnree o'clock this morning, or a few minutes past. We were up all night with him. I didn't get a wink of sleop." " Poor child '." Mrs. Carter softly patted the knitting noodle.. " Did~ did-he suffer much ?" " No, I guess not. That was a mercy. ie didn't secom to sense any thing all night. We did everything we know how for him-averything. Laudanum didn't seem to do any good." She began to cry suddenly. "1 was so fond of him '." she sobbed, apologeti d cally. " Yes, yes, do cry, bMarlotta--It'll a do you good. You ought to cry. It's a mercy you can." I don't know how we're going to w get along without him, Mrs. Carter." " It's a great loss to the nolf.hbor hood. We all feel it," ire. Carter Umurtrurcd. "Luther and I were all struck In a heap. He read it in the papor. Just think of our finding it out in the newspaper !' Mrs. Gamble lifted her drooping head with an air of solemn pride " Yes," she said, " they put it in the paper right sway. I didn't s'pose they would in to day o, but they're dreadfu 0 smart about getting things in. Whet Andrew's Uncle Andrew died, the [o got that into the morning paper, too.' It was warm in the room, and Mrs ' Caeor took up a paper from the tabli t to aA herself. She folded i noati; aokd et it waving with slow, stead strokes. 11 When are you goin to -to-who will you- bury him, Marietta?" sh ut asked at length, gravely. Mrs. Gamble took up her knitting m~ work. "Oh, we buried him this mnornin as soon as 'twas real ligh L. We though 'over."

" Well e Marietta, I must be going. I'm roa sorry for you and Andrew, but 'tain' (as If 'twasn one of the family gone, yel dknowv. Good-by." She went rapidly home, and tinding ythe borrowed paper, thrust it 1st Luther's hand unceremoniously, point ing to the date. For the first tim tthey noticed that it was old and timn stained, and exhaled a faint must odor. They had read its mention< the death of Andrew Gamble's uncle. d Luther Carter read and re-read tU date. Then ho got up and went outi the house. When at supper-time he came bacl . he remarked briefly to Cyrus as 1 went through the kitchen : r.

"Crowned heads hold a low place in the space of longevity." If the French author of this expression bad foreseen Victoria his 'ssortion would not have been quite so sweeping. England's queen, born eighty years ago, has long passed the Psalmist's span of years. She has gono much farther beyond the average official life of the world's crown-wearers. Sixty-two years will have passed on June 20 since she as conded the throne. This exceeds in duration by over two years the reign of her grandfather, George III , hither. to unexampled in British annals. No other monarch of a great nation in the world's history has boon on the throne as long except Louis XIV, of France, seventy-two years, and he was only flive years of age when he became titular king, and during his minority his mother ruled in his stead as re gent. Victoria, however, was oigh. toen at the time her predecessor died, and she has exerted away over since. Victoria during her life-time has soon the entire world transformed. On the day of her birth, May 21, 1819, the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlaitic or any othe3r ocean started I from Savannah for Liverpool, making 4 the voyage in twenty-six days. The same distance is now made in less than < six. She was six years of age when I the first railway train in the world I started to carry passengers. She was I eighteen years of age, and had just as oended the throne, when the Morse system of telegraphy and that of Cooke I and Wheatstone were first patented. i Thirty-nine yoars of her life had passed < when the first cable was laid utAder the Atlantic, and that one almost im- ( mediately consed to operate. FNifty- I six years of it expired before the first I telephone went into practical opera tion. Scott and Byron were in their prime 2 when Victoria first began to read the 1 printed page. None of the great I writers-Thackeray, Dickene, Bulwer Lytton, Tennyson, Gvorge Ellot, the E Brownings and the others whose names I have cast a glory over her country E during the past half or two-thirds of a t century-had yet begun to work. Dar win, whoso lab ra havo revolutionized I science and have profoundly affected ( the thought of moralists and thoolo- I glans, was not hoard of. At the time of Victoria's birth the I tramp of Bonaparto's armies had just I ceased to shake the world, and Bona parte himself,was a prisoner on a Bri tish island in the South Atlantic. She has seen overy throne in Europe vacat ed many times. She has seen her own t country traisformed politically from I an oligarchy, in which only one out of I fifty of the population was permitted I to vote, into a democracy in which the I voters number one out of six of the inhabitants. France has changed its form of government four times since her early girlhood days. Italy, then only a "geographical expression," to use Motternich's phrase, has since be oome one of the greatest powers of Nurope, while the empire of Germany was still far in the future. The United States was in the midst of the "era of good feeling" when Victoria was born. Monroe has had nineteen successors in the presidency ' since that time. This country had only 9,00U,000 population then. B Buffalo and Pittsburg wore frontier - o towns, and not a house existed on the site of the magniticent metropolis of ~the west, Chicago. The annexation of g llorida, Trexas, New Mox len ('.14".. Ltfl~ft.-..m-, ksaynohingof the LLmore recent accession of territory, all a came since Victoria's birth. Tho world's map has been changed in many r places, the world's ideals have been d altered in many respects, and the Iwholo face of human society has been .1 tr'ansformeid ia thke four score years - which have elapsod since Britian's I trueen first saw the light.-Loslie's Week l. WEllSTlt'S GIltlAT SP'EE~UES. H~is flest Etfortsu 1n Oratory Were Ciarefuliy ltelovsed. In the July number of Scribner's Magazine, Senator George Ii. Hoar, of IMassachusetts, throws fresh lirrht on Webster's celebrated reply to Hlayne, Sby showing that many of tbe familiar ,passages of that masterpicce of Amern I can eloquence were inserted after the I. famuous debate took place. Senator iHoar says that Webster took the lIberty of correcting the notes of the ? stenographer to such an extent that e the labor of revision amounted to writ Sng the speech over again. In justice LI to Webster, however, it must be said &- that stenograp~hers were not as accu y rate then as they are now. Here is >f the peroration of Webster's great elfort as rep~orted by the stenographer: e " When my eyes shall be turned for )f the last time on the meridian sun, I hope I may see him shining bright upon ~, my united, free and happy country. io. hopo4 I sh1all not live to see his beanms failing upon the dispersed fragmente r of the structure of this once glorious d union ; I hope I may not ee the flag of my country with Its stars separated or obliterated, torn' by commotions, ir smoking with the blood of civil war. yf I hope I may not see the standard y raised of separate State rights, star s- against star, and stripe against stripe ; y but that the Ilag of the union may keel) its stars and its strip~es corded and 'o bound together in indissoluble ties. I ? hope I shall not see written as its met ie to, *'First liberty, and then union.' I y, hope I shall see no such delusive and deluded motto on the [lag of that ,o country. 1 hope to see, spread all over 'a It, blazoned in letters of light and proudly floating over land and sea, that a other sentiment dear to my heart, n, 'Union and liberty, now and forever, one and inseparabue." O- Here is the peroration as subse id quently revised and published by Web' stoer: , " When my eyes shall be turned to 12 behold for the last time the sun in 2, heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments r- of a once glorious union ; on States dis ', severed, discordant, belligerent ; on a Lh land rent with clvii feuds or drenched, m it may be, in fraternal blood I Let their last feeble and lingering glane an rather behold the gorgeous ensign of n- the republic, now known and honored d, throughout the earth, still full high as advanced its arms and trophies stream is ing in their original lustre, not a stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star Id obsouroed, bearing for its motto, no '[- such miserable interrogatory as 'What in is all this worth ?' nor those other L." words Qf delusion and folly, ' Liberty first and union afterwards,' bu~t every where, spread a'll over in characters of us living light, blazing on all its ample he folds as they float over the sea and 3e. land and in every wind under the whole ip- heavens that other sentiment dear tc ye every true American heart, ' Liberty ng and union, now and forever, one and inneaablh '" WHAT HO G SAID TO TAMMANY.
