tyt SKa?cbman aid S o ut |r ai WEDNESDAY, FEB?TJABY 27, 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 ' p'eted as the last wrecked span is nearly finished. A party of railroad men visited the bridge recently and express- j ed themselves as being highly pleased with the work.

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. -Fee Dee Index.
