ENTREATY,
.I e>oamed there stood at Heaven's high gate,
one day,
A maid, and in her fragile hand there lay
One withered rose, with all i;s grace uf red
Wild beauty gone.
I Seeing her. Peter said :
' ''How sad these petals that vour onie hands
hold !
Away with it, that worthless Cower and old !"
"Alas ! it is the very rose/' cried she,
u\ gave my lover long ago ; and he
Laid it with tears in my dead clasp, that I
Might take it for remembrance to the sky !
Oh, let me keep it till he comes here, too,
That he may see I am forever true !':
I waken ; mv dream had fled '* * * Cood
friends, who knows
If kind St. Peter let her keep that rose?

j CHAPTER XV.
A HOLIDAY.
The streets of the little village arc alive
with the people commonly shut up in tho
great mills out of sight It was only ono
man dead, the world in which he moved
crowded along, and if lie had come back even
so soon, he would have had to make a plaeo
for himself; os when he started first. Another
man was born the minuto he died, mid the
ranks were always kept full.
There was a holiday at last, and the i>eopIe
were the nearest they could get to holiday
dress. Tl?1 husbands and fathers had but
few changes to make. Their aprons, if they
were fortunate enough to have them, were
off, and their overalls; their sleeves were
rolled down, too. revealing thc wear bf storm
and sun on the cheat? stulT of which the
clothes of the poor aro made. But the young
men had. most of them, sonic flashy color
about their neds, and won- some threadbare
i black coat, with here and there a whole
showy suit, bought regardless of the poverty
that stared them in the face. The higher
classes had taught them tho lesson that a
poor man can expect no consideration or
res] ?oct anywhere, and each human creature,
whose spirit is not all broken, will save his
scant pennies to disguise in thc livery of thc
prosperous the poverty that the world mal?es
at once his misfortune and his disgrace.
Most of the girls, too, had gilt or rubber jew?
elry in abundance, rich looking chains about
their necks, and the most elaborate and
massive earrings. They wore flashing rib?
bons of tho most startling colors, and for
dresses cheap flimsy imitations of the most
costly stuffs.
All had gathered near tho Breton mansion.
The door was hung '..-iib black crape hi vol?
uminous folds. A melancholy hearse, with
plumes waving the insignia of woe, was at
j the gate. But the faces of the multitude
wore happy, even gay. and the murmur of
j their voices had no cadence of sadness. Yet
for one moment they were <'ui.-t. It was
when eight bareheaded men, with awe in
their faces, the awe of mortal*.in the pres?
ence of the grand myst-, ry bf death, carno
slowly out of the crape hung dcor fearing !
betw-een them the deposed lord of the house, j
Then appeared at the door the face of tho j
heir; young Philip, pal? and grief st riek?-r?, j
and an involuntary hum of greeting met hun j
from the people who lined the roadside and
hustled the carriages i:i waiting. Bc was
j their hop-', their trusted deliverer, their
friend who liad Seen how hurd their lives
were, and had once promise?! to help them.
His words that night"! the fire had sunk
deep into their hearts and l?een re?
peated from mouth tv mouth, with many
an addition of un eager imagination. To
be sure, he had done out little to fulfill his
promise. But there were the ?ire escupiis tb j
l<-ar witness to his honesty, and his rather, 1
th" one they w-ereexpecte-l to iiiourn for, was '
a hard man to move. Had th-.- young man :
not admitted in their meeting he was too '?
weak to heir; them"? Now he was un train- j
Ui'.-ied; thc unquestioned owner of the Brctjou
Mills: his wish '.var, thc s*>!e authority her.cts- !
forth, and he wishe<i kindly to theta. Eton
word the only law throughout the gr?ai i
factory, and he had given hhs word tr> hel? . I
them. Not & soul but Mic-ved ia;the (laira I
of a vague day of general halpin--.-. Few
had clear ideas cf il:-- clements ot th-.ir long
wretchedness. They t bought everyth i : tg was
wrong in the system under which the poor
wer?* so unhappy, and thc remedy that oc?
curred to their minds was, of cours.?, to
change everything. Np more I ?ng hours, ue
more scant pay. no more favoritism'; all
should have ?ilik'\ No more strikes or co-a
flicts or complaints br bittern-*ss were
dreamed of, Cir there would bo no hardships
left.
Philip thought of Bertha. At first is
seemed a year since ho had lost lier, and he
wondered wit)', a <iull nelie in ins heart where
sh.mid ?it-r so long a time.
Then it scened but an hour, so fresh was
the wound in hi> heart. It was her place,
tliat empty s-at by Iiis si??e, ?J this supremo
moment of hi> il?-solarion. She could eom
fort him in his hmeiini-ss, the most terrible
crushing loUel ?ness, that in the midst of ?
multitude P" .ri ia ps he was weak, too weak
for '\;>- stern r*:<:u:sit;ons of destiny. Per?
haps there was not enough of the sturdy cle?
ment Ul his character. Me would rallier

Thc other niau laughed. '.Well. 1 don't
seo how the young boss is goin-yto make tho
mill pay that fashion, but that's his lookout."
.'payl*' repeated tho sanguine prophet.
'.Why those looma just turn od: sheet.- of

The horses started once more and Philip
Breton sank back again on his scat. T?UJ
people had cost lum his bride and his lather.
Tiiey had wrecked his ilt'-.-, and east him ou a
shore of ban-en wastes, with never .?ne foun?
tain of hope for his famished ?oui;
And now, with stupid and yet pathetic
trust, the;.* looked to him to devoted lis for?
tune and himself to them, never questioning
but a word ol' his. a stroke of his nen. would
let perpetual sunlight into their lives:
Thur evening ho sat alone i;: the little study
in the house that had been his fathers. Tho
bouse was full of solemn faced guests, but he
would see none of them. He had bowed Iiis
bead on his fol-led anas and tried to com?
mune with the dead; Ids dead. There were
two. One Ids kind, tender father, whe-sa
broad, florid face always brightened with a
smile at the coining of Iiis son. The other of
his dead was a woman. I Io saw her .-xs if
she yet lived. What there was in th's woman
of all others that should have cabed forth
?ich tender raptures cf love he had never
paused to wonder. She was not brilliant as
some women. Her lips, that he believed
could have spoken so wonderfully if they had
cared, were oftenest closed in society. Her
eyes expressed to him the rarest of noble
thoughts, and it ,was as if she deemed tho
common world unworthy, but that by and
by she would speak. He had thought her heart
spotless white, and the texture of h>-r nat uro
finer and sweeter than that of all other
women. Every eye that saw her must ad?
mire the threads of line spun gold she called
her hair, her soft skin as delicate to the touch
as u baby's lips, and the queen like perfection
of her fenn, a system of bold curves and Hues
of beauty meeting into each other at their he
gianing and their end. But could there ho
any one to whom she was so much beside lier
beaury, for whom each phase of her thought
or tone of her voice was just what -?cerned
most titting: And she too was gone, dead*
where no prayers or cries cf his could reach
or t^jich her: dead, and yet forever alive for
him.
"Will yoi: s-'-e a lady, sir:" It was Mary,
whose manner was subdued suitably to tue
melancholy occasion Ail these trappings
and pretenses provoked Philip strangely, a3
did the low v.dces of his guests and theil
drawn down faces. He knew well enough
they didn't care so much as all that. ".She is
very particular, ?ir. Bin-: I mean Mr.
Breton."
Then he forgot his impatience in n strange,
thrilling thought. Ho rose to Ids fee: and
walked to Til- window without answering I'HQ
girl. Could it be Bertha had felt his hunger
for her sueh as no other creature could haye
for her presenc:-; Was it too unlikely that
such pain as ached in his heart might have
t?ucheil her? I throb of electricity goes
around the world; might not such longing as
his hu'-'-' ri acned hsr a few short miles away!
Th-- maid began again.
'.Will you See a"
"Yes, y---- show her in.''* How wild he
was to-night. Why Bertha was married to
the mun she had chosen, long ago: if she
came ba.-k. what comfort for.binti lr'si:,?

Terribie Railroad Accident.
? terrible accident happened to the
fas? mail train from IVew York to Jack?
sonville, last -Saturday uiorD?Dg, at
Blacksbear, Ga., on the Aiaotic & Gulf
Railroad : the entire train, except the
eugine, went through a trestle at a
point 75 miles south of Savannah.
Twenty-three people are reported to
Lave hecn killed and between thirty and !
forty injured, ten of whom are expected
to die. The private car of President
Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley road with
Wilbur and George Gould and wife and
others iu it, was part of the train.
President Wilbur is reported to be
seriously injured, George Gould unhurt
and Mrs Gould slightly injured. The
relief trains with physicians were sent
for from both Savannah and Jackson?
ville.
The Charleston Sunday Xews con?
tained the fullest account of thc acci?
dent, and the following is taken there?
from :
The spot is one mile east of Black
shear, Pierce County. Thc road there
crosses Hurricane River, and beyond it
is a long stretch of trestle work. The
train left Savannah at 7.01, standard
Ump, this morning; It was composed
of an ;ngiae, a combination baggage
and smoking car, one passenger coach,
two Pullman sleeping cars and a private
car of t ric Lehigh Tal ie j Railroad.
The engine passed over safely, but
the rest of the train broke through and
fell fifteen .feet to the ground below.
Before reaching the bridge the trains
always slow up, and it is s!" osed that
the speed at which the train vas run?
ning uss too high- The combination
coach is repcrt-jd to be the ?rst ene
which struck the ground. On it fell
the passenger coach, the sleepers and
the special car, in which a private party
was travo:ling.
The scene at the moment after the
wreck was heartrending beyond des?
cription. The lower coaches were
smashed well-nigh to pieces. Fortu?
nate were these passengers to whom
death came i us! au fly. Kvery coach
was Siled, and scarcely a passenger es?
caped without some injury. When the
wreck was partly cleared away the dis?
aster, serious as it was, was tess horri?
ble than it was feared:
It is supposed that immediately pc fore
reaching the Hurricane River coe of the
trucks of a passenger coach left the
track. Upon reaching the bridge the
entire train of five coaches crashed |
through going to thc ground.

Judge Hudson was remarkably
lenient ia passing sentence on the
wrong doer?. Of the thirteen convicts
before him but, one was sentenced to
over nine months io the penitentiary.
Fairfield Xezcs and IKaald
It ha? been suggested by an exchange
that the convicts in the penitentiary be
employed to work the roads in the
State. The suggestion seems to be a j
good one. The present plan of calling
cut the people to work the roads is very
unsatisfactory if one may judge by tho
condition of the roads in the State, and
if any feasible plau of improving them
by convict labor is devised we think it
should be adopted.
Coiuv&vi Rc'jiiUr
Newspaper correspondents give utter?
ance to rumors that Congressman Till?
man, of this Slate, is hobnobbing with
Kundat! and will soon make a remark?
able speech, attacking Cleveland and
his policy. We trust that this not true.
Congressman Tillman would gain noth?
ing by attacking the President, and we
don't believe he would wish to iutroduce
discord. Cleveland is going to be the
nominee of the party anyhow, if he
is not elected, nobody else can be, and
therefore antagonism to him will be sn
injury to the party. We have no idea
that any good Democrat would do any?
thing to defeat the ticket.
The Kewspaper.
OTangtbuTg Times and Democrat.
ltecent events connected' with the
perpetration of certain crimes in this
State call attention to the value of the
newspaper as an educator of the intel?
lects aud morals of the people, -and we
think it an opportune occasion to voice
our sentiments on this subject. The
newspaper is probably more widely cir?
culated and read than other class of
publications and does more tc shape
public thought and morals than any
other agent, the church alone excepted.
Nowhere is this truth more thorough?
ly appreciated than in this country,
where every denomination, party and
interest hods it necessary to have an or?
gan for the dissemination of its par?
ticular views and advantages. With
this knowledge of its power slould come
a sense of the grave responsibility
devolved upon those who edit and publish
newspapers. There is, however, another
fact which should not be lest sight of in
the consideration of this subject and
that is, the newspaper is, as a rule, a
private enterprise, for the purpose of
making money, and must shape its
course so as to win favor and patronage
from those whom it would serve.
Publishers are, therefore, frequently
called upon to consult both their interest
and their sense of responsibility when ;
determining what is proper and what is
improper for publication, and it may be
said, right here, to the great credit of
newspaper men, that the decision is
more frequently made in favor of'the
latter than of the former. Unfortunate?
ly there are exceptions to this rule.
The prurient desire for sensation, breaks
down the better judgment and the
public is treated to the minute details of
social and moral crimes which shock the
sensibilities of the pure and virtuous,
and are rolled as a sweet morsel under
the tongue of the vulgar and wicked.
We protest against this pandering to a
low and vitiated public taste. We call
for a clean newspaper. The exposure
of crime and the defence of the injured
may be safely left in the hands of the
?aw. (Jar courts have been and are
now equal to tue tasi: imposed cn them
hythe Constitution, and inourjudg
met it iii becomes the newspaper to
usurp their functions by hunting down
social sinners and pillorying them before
the pu ll ic gaze. It is an unmitigated
evil, it hinders the course of judgment,
and corrupts oublie morals, at tho foun?
tain. Hight minded people keow this and
will not excuse nor justify thc newspa?
per that persistently docs violence to
their conceptions of truth, justice, and
the proper functions of the press. There
ls a demand for all legitimate news, and
the ?ra?heriug and publication of this
sin ula he the object of the true :?>. .v.0
paper. There is no demand for the
histor}' of social intrigues and morai
crimes and it is reprehensible in the
'nighest to attempt to create such a
demand. Away wiih the newspaper;
that has to bc read at thc Hresid: wiih
hat'.d breath cr which thc prudent par?
ent must either destroy or mutilate be?
fore allowing his children to peruse its
columns.

There ?3 no practical reason why the

'Writing Vp- Towns.
Grcer.vilh Keven.
The Columbia .Board of Trade never
did a wiser thing than when it declined
the offer of the New York Star to 'write
up' a paga puff of the city for ?500..
The money would have been wasted if
it had bec:: spent for that parp?se.
The 'writing up'" business is pl ay ed '
cut. Tberi has been too much of it.
The public has learned to recognise the
ear marks of the paid puff and skips it,
preferring to read the home advertise-'
ments cf beal interest. If any news-"
paper advertising is tc be done fer a
town the best plan is to be open and
fraok about :t and put what is to be
said in the advertising columns of the
best newspapers at the regular rates.'
This has an henestand business-like ap-"
pearance which attracts attention and
commands confidence. It represents*
somebody, while the paid puff repre?
sents nothiog but the readines of the
newspapers to sell its news columns and*
risk deceiving and betraying ita readers,
for so many dellars. In any event, if
money is to be paid by Southern towns'
fer advertising of that kind in news?
papers it had best be put in Southern
newspapers cf large circulation and in?
fluence. It will do more good there.

A Significant Suggestion.
A gentleman in this city has received'
a letter from a friend in Tipton, Indi?
ana, telling him that if an option on
20,000 or 30,000 acres of land in this
neighborhood can be obtained it can be
all disposed of in and near Tipton at
fair prices. The letter says the drift
from that section is now a?l to the
South ; that a few years ago ail who
sold out to leave went West, but that
the tide has turned and the people are
looking to the South, scared by the'
blizzard and extreme cold reported from"
the new states.
This letter eon arms the many other
circumstances, reports and enquiries re?
ceived here, ail indicating that there is'
a tremendous tide of immigration set?
tling this way and and that those com?
munities which advertise their advanta
I ges properly and treat strangers fairly

[ a magnifient harvest of active, thrifty,
progressive farmers and business men

Tillman on the Tariff.
Congressman Tillman cf this State
was interviewed by .a Washington
correspondent of the New York Trib?
une the other day, about the new
tariff bill, and here is what he said :
'The bill says nothing about the re?
peal of the tobacco tar nor any modi?
fication of the internal revenue laws.'
If the Democrats go to the country
t with that bill they are sure of defeat,
j and they will be doomed to defeat

is to be reduced, and we ail agree
that it must be, then let us repeal the
odious internal revenue taxes, and if
any deficit occur-.; we can raise the
revenue by levying an income ta?.
