A BIRD CONCERT.
A CLristmas Story for Francis. and Other
Cood Boys and Girls.
Once upon a time I used to walk,
very often, down to your pa's grand
pa's by Ebenezer meeting house, down
the creek and along an old road that
ran alongside of Mr. Crotwell's field.
There was a good deal of wooded land
along the creek for some distance. All
that country was once quite heavily
timbered and was full of game of differ
ent kinds, such as deer, turkeys, foxes,
rabbits, squarrels, and other animals
and birds; but at the time I now speak
of, the game was nearly all gone, ex
cept partridges and some few other.
whieh may be considered lawful spoil.
There are many birds which are not
lawful game, and these abounded there,
such as mocking-birds, thrushes, cat
birds, red birds yellow hammers,
goldenorioles and a great many others;
some good singers, and many who were
not singers, but mere chatterers and
jabberers, but who helped to keep the
woods alive and jolly with their merry
fusses. Most folks, or many folks at
best, will not believe the story that I
am now about to tell you; but never
theless I feel right confident that it in
true. Birds have life and melody and
language in their songs. Their music
is not mere gibberish, or a soulless rou
tine without meaning or sense; but it
is really a song, and sometimes they
have a grand concert, especially on
Sabbath mornings in the spring of the
year, when the air is balmy from the
South or Southwest, and sweet with
the perfume of flowers and the odor of
leaves just out in their brightest and
freshest green. 0, but the woods are
happy sometimes, and like the holy
temples of God, when these grand bird
concerts are at their best. Many and
many a time have I stopped to lister
to some solitary singer far up upon the
top of some high tree. I have seen him
perched right upon the top, the very
highest top of a tall tree, and sing and
sing, like as if he would sing his ver3
soul out, till all the woods around werf
filled with his music. It seems at suc:
times as if all the other birds were li
tening to see how well one solitar3
singer could do. It seems so, and in
deed it is so, for as soon as he stops wi
hear a gentle chirping and a few brie;
snatches of song, as if though the3
were applauding the performance
Then again we hear two or three sing

THE BALLOTING.
At 1 o'clock the Senate was an
nounced, and the work of electing the
commissioners was begun in short
order. By a joint resolution ther.e were
no nominating speeches, and the fol
lowing candidates were placed in
nomination:
Senator J. A. Sligh, of Newberry.
Mr. J. M. Galloway, of Fairfield.
The Hon. D.W.McLaurin, of Marion.
Col. D'Arcy P. Duncan,.of Union.
Commissioner B. R. Thomnaa, of
Sumter.
W. H. Yeldell, of Edgefield.
Capt. Eugene R. Walter, of Or ange
burg.
Commissioner E. P. Jervey, of Char
leston.
Capt. T. W. Stanland, of Berkeley.
G. Walt Whitman, of Union.
N. W. Hardin, of York.
There was every desire to get at the
Ivoting as soon as possible. The first
ballot resulted in the eleetion of Mr.
Thomas and Mr. Sligh as predicted,
and strange to say indcated the third
man in the race.
The Charleston delegation voted
solidly for Mr. Jervey on the first bal
lot, with one exception for Capt. Walter
and for Capt. Statnland. On the final
vote the delegation was somewhat
divided.
The first ballot resulted: Thoma.88,
S1igh 82, Duncan 55, YeldelI 62, Wafier
46, McLaurin 37, Stanland 30, Jervigy
21, Galloway 23, Hartin 5, Whitmanel.
On the second ballot the vote, ager
the changes were annonnced, stdod:
iug together, while all the others are
silent, just as if they were, rehearsing
their parts in preparation for a grand
concert. I have heard them often;
and so may you, if you listen with
your ears open. Often these mocking
birds and thrushes, and some other
little fellows, chatter and whistle to
me and bid me good morning when I
walk out into the garden. Believe me,
they-understand me well when I speak
a kind word to them, as I always do.
They know and understand a great
deal more than we usually give them
credit for, and I have no doubt that
we could establish an intelligent inter
course with our wild feathered kindred,
were we to take pains to do so. All
creatures have a language by means of
which they express their thoughts and
wishes fo each other. The note of
warnin.- the mother hen gives t&' her
young ;hen she sees an enemy near is
very diLerent from that gentle clack
with which she calls them to their food.
Why should we suppose that the
wild, sweetly singing birds are entirely
ignorant of the Hand that formed
them and of the Life from which they
came? 'Why should we suppose that
they do not tune their throats to sing
His praise? If the heavenly Father
feeds the sparrows and hears the ravens
when they cry, as we are assured that
h3 does, why should we think that
they do not know and never can know
the Hand that feeds them? They do
know it, and they are not ungrateful,
and they pour out from their full hearts
notes of praise, and of adoration, and
joy to the All-father. This is especially
the case in the Spring and early Sum
mer, when Earth is wading from -her
long sleep of the winter and feels the
strong puls.ition of a new life through
all her veins and arteries. Then these
feathered songsteia of the grove, chil
dren of light and air, pour out,.they
cannot help pouring out in song the
joy that thrills them, breathed into
them from the great divine heart of
the world.
As I walked that road once upon a
time, Francis, down to your pa's grind
pa's, it was the brightest and balmiest
season, almost, that I had ever felt.
At that time I was engaged in writing
that book called Within the Vail, and
sometimes I would stop by the way
side, no matter where I.was, and write
down with a pencil the thoughts that
rose in the mind from some preceding
cause, or suggested by some object that
.met my vision, or some sound heard

[Greenville News.]
This is certainly a day of new things
in South Carolina, R. T. H. Bell adver
tises that at Renno on Monday two
Jersey bulls will fight. Not to omit the
gentle sex of the bovine kind, an un
limited number of cows will be ad
mitted to a contest in the matter of
milk giving for a prize of$25. "Adults"
will be permitted to behold this in
teresting exhibition of varying talents
for $1 while "ladies" will be charged
but 50 cents, the advertiser apparently
proceeding on the gallant hypothesis
that ladies never become adults.
The legislature should stop at Benno
on its way home and see the bulls fight
and the cows give milk for twenty-four
hours for a twenty-five dollar purse.

with the birds; always loved to watch

[Augusta Chronicle.)
The Hampton, S. C., Guardian I
its last issue contains the following:
Mr. Alfred Shepperson, the we
known cotton statistician, estimate
the cotton crop of 1892-93 at 6,500,00
bales or less-a falling oft of 5,645,00
bales from the preeceeding year. 01
tbe strength of this statement the At
gusta Chronicle thinks cotton "is necei
sarily obliged to advance sharply I
price * * * and that all the chanc4
are in favor of a firm and advancin
market." This is cheerful news to ti
farmers; but the rise in price it
hoped, should not have the effect 4
stimulating over-production.
This is good advice from the Gua
dian, and it only emphasizes what i
have said before. Our advice to ti
farmers has been to continue the
economical habits for another year; .1
hold down their cotton acreage as the
did this year and to carry to agreat
extent the resolve to raise food for zna
and beast on the farm. If our souti
ern farmers will raise at home all ti
provisions they need, and not have.
buy it all in the west, they will soo
be able to snap their fngers at thi
grim spectre "Hard Times."
