The wife 1 she who fills so large a space in the domestic heaven ; she who is busied, so un wearied ly, for tho precious ones around her; bitter, bitter is the tear tnat falls upon her cold clay 1 You stand beside her coffin and think of the past. It seems an amber-colored pathway, where the sun shone upon beautiful flowers, or the stars hung glittering overhead. Fain would the spul linger there. No thorns are remembered above that sweet clay, ssvs those yenr hand may unwillingly have planted. Her no ble, tender heart lies open to your in most sight. Yon think of her now ns all gentleness, all beauty, all purity. Bat she is dead! The dear head that laid upon your bo^om rests in the still darkness, upon a pillow of clay. The hands that hove adminis tered so untilingly, are folded, white and cold, beneath the gloomy portals. The hearty whpse every Jpeat^ measur ed an deferuity;- of Joy#, lids Runder your feet. The flowers she bent over with smiles, bend now .above her with tears, shaking tho dew from their pe-. tals, that. I he verdure nrouii'd her may be kept green'tihd" beautiful. There is no white arm over your shoulder ; no speaking, face Iq look up into the eyo of. Love ; no trembling lips t? murmur, "O, it is so1 sad." ,'. ^Tuerejs so strange a stillness in every room !

No smile to greet you at nigatfall. f, mf 4 f i 1 " * ? ^ Ii* And the old' clock ticks and strikes, and strikes and ticks?it was such music when she Could hear it! Now it seems to knell only the' hours, through which you watched the shadows of death ga'hering upon her sweet face. And every day the clock repeats the old story. Many another tale it tell cth too?of joys past, of-sorrows shared, of heuutiful woids uni deeds that are registeied above. You feel! O, how often do you feel that the grave cannot keep her. Abraham Lincoln ou Gen. Hancock. Mr. James A. NeDougol, a promi nent Republican of BnilTmorfe is re sponsible for the statement that Abra ham Lincoln said to a IJaltornorc del egation thai he regarded Gen. Han cock as the ablest soldier in the Northern army. One of the . visitors rather demurred, saying that Han cock was "rash," whereupon Lincoln replied : "Yes, so some of the older Generals have said to me, and I have said to them that I have watched Gen. Hancock's s conduct very carefully, and I have found thai when . he goes into action he achieves his purpose and conies out with a smaller list of casualties than any of thorn. Bold he is. but not rash. I tell you gen tlemen, Unit if his lifo and strength arc spared, I believe that Gen. Han cock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the age,,. -?WhyT when I go down ' in the morhiag.'tto. open my mail?and I risa at 4 o'clock i ?I do it in fear ana trembling, lest I may hear that Hsncoclf, has bceri kil led or wounded. Forfeitrd Lands. The Comptroller General has senl to the various County Auditor.'- [.ml Treasurers a circular, stating that "upon an inquiry mado by the Audit" or of Colleton County as to the con struct ion of Hie Acte of Assembly *to_ cxtand tho time for the redemption of forfeited lands,'.approved December 23, 1879, and Febiirary lSj '1880, being respectively Nos. 629, 207, the following endorsmeut was made; "The intention ofrtlje -jLegisJaJure was no doubt to extend the lime of redemption lo 3l9t October. Tho words used in the Aot raise a doubt whether the purpose was accomp i9h cd.* This office is inclined to construe the Act liberally and accept the ovi-, dent intention." Upon inquiry at the Comptroller General's office we ascertained ? that tho circular iwaB/.In tended to relate only to those lands that were forfeited prior to Feb uary, 1880.?Columbia Register*. Hero is another ease, that almost makes one lose faith in human nature. In 1644 there graduated ifrom har vard University a young man of won derful promise. He was 22 years old and the world opened bright'aftd pre mising before him. He wa3, I believe for a time a teacher in Harvard,'and subseqiientiy he, founded a very aiic-* cessful school in Massachusetts. Some time afterwards he. went South as7 principal of a State normal oohcoi. The war coming qp he Was drjven from the State and came North. At] the close of the warhe went back to the Southern State as collector of in ternal revenue. When the State was reconstructed he was elected to the United States Senate, and served with distinction for six years. lie was chairman, of the committee on educa tion and labor and a member of the nppropriotiansaud other important commi,uea?&liPAi?p* *irW ami pleasing speaker, and stood v y high, among his colleagues. After hie tptniiexpircd he was appointed assis tant secretary of thu treasury und was at times acting (secretary. It was here that he fell. He was courted and flattered and used. Wine, Cards and v.omei! did their part to occom pli8h his fall. There were some \cry l crooked transactions while he was in office, and some way or other the asist ani secretary lost his office and land ed in jail. Ho was speedily got out hpwever, but'he became wretchedly poor and got-to borrowing fifty cent pieces of Iiis old friends. It was a pitiful sight to see . him about and kuow w at lie had been. Finally somebody had him* appointed to a twelve hundred dollar clerkship (he wrote a beautiful hand) and it was thought that he might, pick up and recover ; but he didn't. He had got a passion for gambling, and whenever he could obtain iSjma&djp-n* stSfiglr^ the tiger and . of course lost it, and soon he lost his little clerkship. I understand ho now borrowsa dollar or two whenever.he oan and goes in to the lowest places and plays until it is gone. If n<4 to'as if?'""lflbney, which is nearly always the case, ho will. sit where the.game is goingrou and keep the score for the low wretch es that infest the dives he visits. He onco had a charming family of boys and girls, but the Lord only knows where they are now. If there is any thing stranger or more revolting than this in fiction I have never come across it.?Philadelphia Times. Shocking Murders. Two negro men in the'employ of] Mr. Hugh Workman, of .Laurcns County, named Doiscy Greer and Prince Greer, Brothers, were" found in Little River near tfreTit.Bll?eoh urd's plantation on the edgo Of Lau: reus Co., last Saturday', by their fa ther, who was fishing. They had been missing since Tuesday night. One had two bullet holes in the breast and back? and v the^pllier .one.j ball in the right breast near the heu'iL1 {hfcch one had'a rock weightug'about -50 lbs tied to the body. One was flouting on the top of the water, and the other almost covered with sand at the bottom of the viver. Tho verdict iofltho coroner's jury was that .they came to their death by gun' shot wounds fired by tho hands of some party or parties to that jury .un* known.
