A li&SLSNT.
[The following, poem wa? written by the
I*te s?chard Eyles;- of IDanviile, Va., a law?
yer of fice legal and literary attainments,
wno plunged himself into despair through ti?
sparkling gJass.J.
J; ha -e been to the funeral of ail my hopes-,
And entombed the rs- one by one ;
Nat a word was said;
Not a tear WHS shed,
When the mournful task was dece.
Slowly and sadly J turned me rounds
Aad sought H~~y silent roost,
And there alone
Bj the cold hearthstone
? wooed the midnight gloom.
And as- "he night wind's deepen i cg shade
towered above my brow,
I wept o-'er days
Wfcetr manhood*?rays
Were brighter far than now.
"?he dying embers on the earth
Qi:ve"?ut their flickering ligfet,
ifto say,
This is the way
Thy life shall close 'io night.
? wept aloud in anguish-907e
O'er the bSghi of prospect* fairy
Vf h??e demons laughed
And eager quaffed
Vtj tears ?ike nectar rare.
Through heir? red bafls aa ecbo rs&g,
As echo load and long,
As in the bowl
I plunged my sowf
IQ the might of arabes* sir&sg.
And there within that sparkling glass
I knew the cause to lie,
S Tbis all men owj,
Fro? zone to zone,
Yet millions drink aod die.
Bill Arp-What he Thinks
about Adam and Ev^
The vrorld is still perplexed about
Adam and Eve Darwin hasn't settled
i -ft, aor Dr. Woodrow. Mark Twain I
thought he found the grave of our illus- !
triotas ancestor, but according to late
discoveries he shed bis tears on the j
wrjottg side. The book of a learned j
Frenchman bas come to the front and
created a sensation in France. He
says that fatber Adam was 12$ feet
high, and mother Eve only five feet
hirer, and that ever since they evoluted
into existence the human race bas been
es the down grade, getting shorter and
shorter, and smaller and smaller, as the
centuries roll on. Well, it does look
reasonable that folks 900 years old
shoc^be 900 years big, but they were
not. The largest men are not the long?
est livers in our day. In fact, they do
sot Uve as long as the medium size.
Among animals, we know that a goose 1
that is not of much consequence, lives
fire times as long as a horse, and a
fattie lives longer than a wbale. 1
wish we did know more about our first
pare..ts. I wish that Moses bad told
ns more. He gave us thirteen chapters
about the history- of Joseph and only
two about the ereatien* I was talking
to a scientific gentleman about this, and
be 8&id he supposed that Mopes told all
he kae w, and that he could not have
known very much about what bad hap?
pened before the flood, for there were
no books nor writings,* and all that be
kneft was by uncertain traditions that
came along down the centuries and
gathered some and lost some on the
ey. He said he thought it very
le that the people who lived be?
the flood were of vffry hrge stature,
for Hoses said there wee giants in
those days.
Well, it is astounding how men of
science ignore the Bible-not all of
them, but most of them. They do ad?
mit that there was a flood, and an ark
and Adam and Eve, and Noah, and
they got that from the Bible, but they
depend npoo science to unravel all the
mysteries, and what' science does not
prove they 'do not consider proved even
tnongb Moses wrote it. They do not
believe in miracles although the move?
ment of the hand or the growth of a
flower is a miracle. Now, bere is tbis
new theory that Mother Ev^jea^^Sf
^^^^?andlar^^
^Rout in his speech at
IB^iet7 for be made Eve only 30
cubits high and lined inside and out
with pitch.
I asked my scientific friend if be
didn't think that such a great height
was very inconvenient to Adam about
tieing his shoes and walking through
the forests. "Oh, no,7' said be, "the
trees were larger and taller io propor?
tion, something like the redwoods in
the Yosemite valley that are from 150
to 300 feet to the first limb.'' "But how
about the animals?" said I-"the
horses and cows. How would Adam
manage to ride one of our horses or
even milk one of our Jersey cows/' He ?
smiled and said, "Well, the animals !
were no doubt of a corresponding size
to the lords of creation." "Elephants
and giraffes too.''said I.-"Of course,"
said be-"and boa constrictors and rat- !
tie snakes/' said L ' Yes," said he
bot I though; be was weakening a little, i
"How about that ark," said I, "that j
was only 30 cubits high and three i
stories ten feet each, how did those
b?ge creatures get in there?" "Oh, I |
suppose," said he, "that those cubits j
were very different from our cubits."
He reminded me of che fellow who
came back from bis travels in the un
explored west, and said among other
marvelous things that be got on the
borders of a valley where everything j
was petrified-turned to stone-and be 1
did not dare to venture in for he saw j
stone horses and buffaloes and goats j
and s?rpents and panthers aud bear*- !
in fact everything was petrified ; even !
to the trees and grass, and be saw a ;
hunter who had strayed in there una- j
ware, and he was standing stock et.?ne j
still with his gun pointed to an eagle in j
the air and the hunter and his gun and |
the eagle were all petrified-ali turned j
to stone.
"Ob, shaw, Jim, that won't do," j
said one of bis bearers. "Don't you j
know that gravity would have pulled j
that eagle down ?"
"Gravity, the dickens," said he,
.'why gravity was petrified harder than
anything. I saw a streak of it hanging
down from the eagle to the ground."
But our Frenchman says that every
generation fell off a few feet, and so we j
must suppose that as Adam lived to see ?
Latnech. of the niotb generation, it was ?
like Gulliver iu his travels, when Adam j
wanted to talk to Latnech and tell him !
about the garden of Eden and the !
apple tree, and about Cain and Abel he j
didn't stoop down but just lifted the i
little fellow up on his little finger and j
set him on his shoulder and told him all !
about it. How scared Lantech most i
have been for fear that he would fall i
into that great mouth that was five feet '
wide or into that ear that looked like a
cave with boogers in it. And just to 1
think what a time they had in burying 1
the old gentleman when be died ; what!
a> long; wide, dee?* grave and what a
coffin, for be ernst have been about
fifteeU' feet high when he was lying
down. Think of the levers and prizes
and the great derrick they built to
swing, hi?? down into the grave. ?
wonder if the Frenchman has fouud
some of his bones or his teeth. Mark
Twain waa not looking for a grave like
that and so wasted bis tears.
Now it does not look like Moses
would have montioaed it if Adam had
been such a gie_t. He tells us about
the age of man being reduced after the
flood to 120 years, and is very partic?
ular about the size of the ark. Jose?
phus- says the Lord taught Adam lan
I guage aud letters and figures and sci
[ence, and Moses says that Jubal made
[harps ar-d organs and Tubal Gain was
Fan instructor rn working brass and iron,
j Noah could not have built the ark if he
? bad uot been a good mechanic and had
plenty of tools to work with.
Bat to come down to facts-what was
the trouble about Moses receiving the
truth of history even though he was not
inspired ? For certainly Adam told it
straight to Lamech, who was Noah's
father, and so Noah got it straight, and
he lived to see Abraham, who was niue
generations further down and told
everything to bim and that covered
twenty gene ra ti ODS and composes 2,000
years of time and history and all facts
passed through only two persons-La?
mech and Noah-well Levi was Abra?
ham's great grandson and he was
Moses s great grandfather.
I think that it must have come' down
pretty straight.
j Now, if these scientists were all like
j Dr. Woodrow- and would study th?
j scriptures with a reasonable faith, then
soience would become the handmaid of
inspiration, and not its enemy. Bat
it looks like they had rather pull down
than build up, scepticism and antagon?
ism and all kinds of infidelity io the
minds of the young.
Young man, you had better stand by
the faith of your fathers. It sustained
them and made them good men and
good women. They lived by it and
died by it. It does not matter so much
how high Adam was, nor whether be
evolated ar not, do you take the Bible
and study it I try to live by its precepts
and you will be happy. Go to church
every Sabbath and listen with humility
and reverence to some good preacher.
The church and the preachers are the
hope of the world. There was a time
when there was but one preacher, and
the earth was filled with violence, and
the flood came and destroyed everybody
but him and family. And just so the
world would be filled with violence now
if it were not for the church and the
preachers. Ten righteous med would
have saved Sodom, and it is the preach?
ers who saves ns now.-Atlanta Con?
stitution.
Newspapers and their
Friends.
A newspaper, if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it, must
continually decide between doing its j
i duty and injuring its pocket. In any
; position but that of an editor, the public
i is able to separate the individual homo j
I from the collective citizen. But if the
! editor does not please them it's his
> pocket they aim at. Thus it is that
? newspapers learn who their friends are.
The man who reads a newspaper and
i admires it all the year around, yet
I gives his business support to some other
i concern, whose principles he detests, is
uot a friend of ihe former paper. Ad?
miration alone will not run a news?
paper. Sooner or later such admirers
will find that thc object of their affec?
tions has become wedded to other ways
that they do not admire-in other words,
a newspaper is compelled, in order to
live, to seek the friendship of those
who are not so platonic in thejr_ieTef
but unite that prj^ticj^^-gsTeem with
sentfaj?irtrT??T bind s mutual admiration
ilfother professions. There are too j
many men who expect an editor to slave j
in defense of their pet notions and hob
bies, advocate their views against the
strongest opposition and coolly withhold
the business support by which alone a
small newspaper can live. Talk about
a paper having a public duty to per?
form, and an editor having to labor for
his principles is cheap when others
stand back and, while extending a luke?
warm neutrality with one band, are
filling their pockets with the other hand
as a result of the editor's labor for his
principles which they admire, but do
not support.-Clinton Enterprise.

Just So.
The Columbia Record, io a receot
issue of that paper, makes the announce
ment that its politics is Independent, j
Just as wc anticipated, upon observing I
tho attitude of that paper on the pub- j
lished address of Hendrix McLane, W.
W. Russell and their followers, it is I
not a difficult matter to arrive ar a cor- j
reet idea of what the result of following !
i
such men in politics will be. As the i
Greenville News very pertinently rc
marks, "If General Harrison wishes to
i
build a Republican party io the South, j
we advise bim to put the job iu stronger j
and more skilful hands than now ap- '
pear to have it."-Kershaw Gazette, j
Tho Saut?e bridge of thc Eatawville j
Railroad, which was partially destroy
cd sometime ago, will soon be com '

ed themselves as being highly pleased
with the work. There was an expert !

High Salaries*
5Fr. Mahoney, of New York, pro?
poses* to introduce in the House a
bill providing "that on and after
March 4, 1889, there shall be paid to
the President of the United State? a
salary of $75,000 per annum ; to the
Vice President of the United States
?25,000 ; to the secretary of State,
to the secretary of the treasury, to
the secretary of war, to the secretary
of the navy, to the postmaster gen?
eral, to the attorney general, to the
secretary of >he interior and to the
secretary of agriculture each, respec?
tively, a salary of ?20,000 per an
nnm. The Washington correspond?
ent of the Baltimore Sun says of the
chances of this bill : "Such a meas?
ure has not the ghost of a chance of
success, yet the increase of compen?
sation proposed is altogether fair and
reasonable. Mr. Morton, for instance,
will pay more rent for the house he
will live in than his salary as Vice
President, and it is simply an impos?
sibility for cabinet members to do
otherwise than live on the most eco?
nomical scale if keeping within the
boundary of their present salaries."
The Alliance in Danger,
The action of the AilraBce in Geor?
gia is looked upon as a step that is to
decide for weal or woe the fatare des?
tiny of the organizatioo in that .State?
President Jackson has resigned his
position and a successor is to be elected.
Political aspirations and usurpation of
power brought ruin upon bim and seri?
ously threaten the welfare of the organ
izatioo. There seems to be no danger ;
in our State at present from such
troubles, but it is well to profit by the
experience of others so that when the
crisis comes it can be successfully met.
