But each night brings him homo to a lessening
'?u>rt?;
For, of all that he earns, there's but little it
havta
After feeding pet negroea and Radical thieved.
He's taxed on the hat he wears on hui head ;
The boots on hia feet, and the sheets cn bin bed
- \. very rag that he wears, every morsel he eats ;
Hia tea and hia coffee, hia bread and hi* meat*;
The pot they are cooked in, the cup that he

On thcatoTC in his kitchen, the coal, too?otill

Ah ! even the'match that seta light to hi* fire ;
On hia pipe of tobacco, for whiskey and beer ;
On the medicine he burs for you, poor little
dear. V
To the taxes he pays we now see no end ;
No, not even death, crudhed humanityV riend.
They tax e'eu his count, his shroud and hia

And his baby mu*t starve, and hia widow mus*

To hide in the earth he has hop?l<Wy tilled
The heart-broken husband whom taxta have

Old Y/omen.?I think old women?I
don't quite like the word "lady," because
it does not mean anything now-a-day.??
arii the most Beautiful and lovable thing*
iu the world. They arc so near Heaven
that they catch th^ glow and brightness
which radiate from fie pearly gate and
iUu nic.ate their face*. \\'neu the hair
begins'tb silver, and the embers in the
lire grow colds and the sun lias got so far
around iu life's horizon that tke present
makes no shadow, while the pant stret
ches down the hillside to a little mound
rf earth where v/o will rest for a season ?
not big enough to hold our corner lots,
and marble front?, and safes, which we
fhail have to leave on the othor Hide of 1
the hill, but big enough, I trust, to l^jjd j
our memories aad fancies, our air casjfaa
und secrets; and when the journey is
nearly done, and the night is setting in,
and the darkness begins to gather around
us without anv stars, and the birds sing
low in the trees, and the flowors wither
and die, and tho.rausic we hear comes
from afar, strangely sweet, like sounds
coming over the water, and like little
children we live ./ithin ourselves, and
the World gradually recedes from us?
then I should like to ha as an old wo
man, full of blessed memories and peace
ful anticipations.
To show the workings of the competi
tive examination system, an English casn
is cited. One of the candidates spelled
Venftc with two n\< thus, Vennice. The
examiner, who could spel.,. but not speak
correctly, sternly it quired: "Do you
kuow, sir, that there is but one hen iu
Venice?" "Thin eggs must be very
scarce th^cre," was tho roply; whoreup?n
the candidate immediately passed.
The South Carolina Legislature, which
recently adjourned, paid 81,600 for Spit
toons. The tax-payers have to foot the
bn.
( TV (fraud Jury at the recent term of
coiirtatEclgvSdd, recommended that the
JJolicitOt Ns instructed by the court to
^reporei audbavo served upon the Hoard
of County Commissioners, a rule to show
why an indictment should not be pre
ferred against them for malfeasance in
office, and dereliction in the disokarge of
jheir public duties and for grossly neg
lecting the public roads, bridges and
ferries of the County.
Let our Grand Jurv do likewise.
The Grand Jury of Union County in
their late presentment to the Court now
in session, instructs their County Com
missioners not to grant license to any
party to rotad liquor in tho County, say
ing such licensed shops are of very great
annoyance and injury to the citizens.
The Chester Reporter says that Judge
Mackey was serenaded by tho negroes of
that town, a few nights since, when in
htead of miking a speech, ke gave them
82 to buy whiskey for the crowd. No
duubt every one of them appreciated the
masterly effort. What a blending of
generosity with judicial dignity.
There was a man hung at Yorkville,
hist Friday week. Gov. Scott, must
have been lying up drunk, at the time.
I If not, whore was he? Perhaps Peter
Culp, the wife murderer, was a white
man. If so, that explains the hanging.?
