"Commune with your own heait, and

4 ; brayer Book version.
Cast thee to earth all stubbornness
Of human will,
And, bending lowly in thy solitude,
"Be still!"
It is a day of solemn gloom and grief
A day of tears
Tears, which w.dl bring the sin-sick soul
relief.
And calm its fears
It is a day of dread, anmingled wrath,
A day of love,
A day of darkness-yet of glorious light,
Light from above. .
We toil not with the MaBter now
His toils are o'er
He's fighting the last fight) His Holy

High lifted up tba precious Lamb we see
'Twixt Heaven and earth;
The Prince of Peace, Immanuel, ia Ile
Of neither worth ?
The anguish throes of earth, each guilty
soul
With terror fill
All the wide heavens have put sackcloth
on
"Be still !"
Thick darkness settles like a pall around
The ebamefal scene;
The voice of wrath in dreadful thunder
sounds,
The lightnings gleam.
Thc fearfnl tragedy is closing fast
On Calvary's hill.
Ob, list that meek One's agonized gasp
"Be atnj !
"My God, my God, why leav'stThoo me !"
He cries,
With dying breath.
Louder tne thunder roll?, 'tis almost o'er,
This strife with death !
Beneath the Cross, O Christ, I humbly

May the red tide
With which the mortal life is gushing ont
From T iv dear side,
Cleanse me from sm's dark stain,
From evil save,
And gain for me a glor OUR crown

SENECA CITY, March 9 -While at
Seneca I saw a small herd of Holstein j
cattle owned by M. W. Coleman. I
This ia comparatively a new breed
for the South, as he told me that, out
ode of his, the only registered stock
of this kind in the State was owned
by Mr. Breuer, of Charleston. Tiny

Middle and Eastern States, where
they have proven to be the best com

quality, than the Ayershire. Tbey

. in the world, and for the yoke, and
shambles certainly they cannot be ex

In addition to. this herd of fine
stock I had the pleasure of seeing a
few fine Jerseys owned by L. W. Jor
dan. He ba? at the head of bis herd
41 Nat Hammond," No. 6,025, which
he claims ie as fine a bred animal as
can be found in the South. His two
heifers, to say the least, are beautiful
and to be appreciated mast be seen.
They were bought in Mas achusettB
last fall, and their pedigrees show
them to be well bred. It is seldom
one sees three finer animals.
There is quite a boom in the build
ing line here, no less than nine build
ings of large size now being in the
course of erection. One is astonished
by the rapid growth of this place. At
the same time it can readily be ac
counted for by the energy, enterprise
and thrift of the inhabitants. With
two first class hotels, a delightful
mountain climate and the purest
water, Seneca City, as a summer resort
will compare favorably with any
place. T. D.
Prosperity o? the Railroads.
The railroads in this State controll
ed by the Richmond and Danville
Syndicate seem to be making money.
A statement showing the earnings ol
various roads during the third week
in February has been published, from
which it appears that the earnings ol
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad during this period amounted
to $19,440, an increase of $5,770
over the earnings of the correspond
ing week in 1882 The earnings ol
the Colombia and -Greenville road
were $20.293, an increase of $4,94?
over the earnings of the correspond
ing week last year. The earning* o!
the Riebmona and Danville Railroad
yvere $74,600, an increase ot $15,70(
ever the corresponding period laai
year. This information ought to b<
reassuring to those who feared tba
the establishment of the Railroa(
Commission would prove disastrou
to railroad interests. Taking lbj
" third week- of February" as ai
average week with the railroads, i
would appear that they can mak
more money with a Railroad Commie
sion than without one. It is t-ru
that the Commission has not yet ec
tablished its Ireight tariffs, but it i
iiot likely that anything will be don
to cripple the efficiency of our rail
road service.-JVCVJS and C'uricr.

Tbe April Trials--* Word to
Democrats,
It has been announced by the De
partment of Justice at Washington
that the existence of the Republican
party in South Carolina depends upon
the conviction of the Democratic de
fendants who will be tried at the
next April term of the United States
Circuit Court lor this State. ' The
Administration is resolved to send
some Democrats to the penitentiary,
whether there is any evidence to
pi ove their guilt or not. Able coun
I sel, suborned wituesses, abundant
bribes and active detectives are relied
upon to do the shameful job of pro*
caring their conviction. The public
cannot so soon have forgotten the
persecution of these men in the past,
the packed juries, the swift witnesses
and the envemomed eloquence of the
Gov. rnment counsel at the trials last
April. The same dismal farce is to
I be repeated. The innocent men who
could not then be convicted with all
the machinery of the government
J against them are to be placed again
in the prisoners' dock and subjected
j to the expense* and indignity of a
1 public trial. Dallas Sanders, the
Philadelphia lawyer with more brass
than brains, has given way to Sny
der, who appears apon the scene as
the especial emissary of Benjamin
Brewster in the character of attor
ney and detective. Other detectives
are at work throughout the State.
The employees of the Revenue de
partment, an army of deputy mar
shals, all the old Radical politicians
and every man, white and black,
who is mean enough to do the bid

enlisted in the dirty business of se

would heal a broken leg " if only taken

The Romance of Mr. Stephens' Life.
In one of the early years of the
'40a Mr. Stephens, then a young man
pai 1 a visit to the home of Mr. Dar
den, in Warren county. There he
met a flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl of
sixteen, beautiful in face and lovely
in character ; piquant, witty and
i gifted with a mind rarely cultivated.
An attachment grew up, which for j
years did not pass the formal bounds
of friendship, but which was sacredly
cherished by bo'h. The boy lover
was poor in this world's goods ; fragile
in frame, and harrassed by sickness,
he did not dare to aspire to the hand
of- one whom he bad learned to love
and yet forebore to claim. With wom
anly devotion the young girl read the
secret in the young man's eyes, and
I true to her heart sho could ouly- j
wait and love.
One evening in 1849 a party was
given at the residence of Mr. Little,
in Crawford viii e. There the two met
once more; there they eijoyed that
sweet communion born of perfect
trust ; and there Mr. Stephens found
courage to speak the words which for
years had fought expression, until at
last he could no longer contain them.
" Are you sure there liv- s none
other whom you prefer to me ?" asked
the maiden timidly, half shrinkingly,
yet only too^appy to feel that she
was favored ia his eyes.
" lu the whole universe there exists
not another," said he passionately.
Thus their troth was plighted ; the
day wae set for their marriage ; and
I all eeemed auspicious f r the lovers.
But clouds lowered o'er their hope* ;
matters of a private nature which it
is not within the domain of the pub
lie to know, intervened and deterred
the fruition of their hopes The one
became immersed in politics, and
racked with physical ills hesita ed to
enter a state where he feared the
happiness of the other might be mar
j red. The lady found her duty by
the side of an invalid mother, who
long lingeied with a confining disease
Thu9 the years fW by ; but the
plighted troth was kept. Mr. Ste
phens never addressed another, and
even kept the image of the f*ir young
girl in his heart. The lady was the
'recipient of admiration Irom many
Lut to all ehe turned a deaf ear.
They^kave often met since and
whil'g^Bm^i nt T>---:4Z0HttnBi
HHt?d, they felt a Bweet' pleasure in
^H5? other's society. But two weeks
ago the lady was at the Mansion and
on taking leave of her old friend,
one of the chairs tripped up, an un
favorable sign, as the Governor re
marked at the time. The lady has
for years been a citizen of Atlanta,
and no oue is held in more esteem for ?
every quality which adorns woman
hood than Miss Caroline Wilkinson.
Mr. Stephen Miel ig ions Belief.
A few moments after death had
taken place, some one remarked on
the calmness and trsnquillity with
which Mr. Stephens had faced it
from the first. Dr. Steiner said :
" Such a man as Mr. S e ph enc could
have faced any sort of death with per
f;ct calmness.''
Some one asked about his religious
belief. Dr. Steiner said :
" I waB with Mr. Stephens several
years ago when he was very low; he
thought he was dying and I was very
fearful. I was going to Augusta for
the night when he stopped me. He
said, 'Doctor, I wantyou to see rae die.
Except Toomba and my family, I
think more of you than of any man
on earth. I want you with me when
I die.' I agreed to stay w;th lum.
Shortly afterwards Dr. Irvine c me
in. He said, 'Mr. Stephine, I will
go Out and see Harry and his family,
and when I come back, if you have
n) objection, I will read a chapte. in
the Bible and will have a prayer 1
Mr Stephens said quickly : 'Ido ob
j act and most decidedly. I have no
objection to pray, tor I believe in it:
but I do olj<iCt to death bed repent
ance. I have made it the rule ol my
life to live each day as if it were go
y I ing to be my last. In the heat o!
y ? politics I may have sometimes forgot'
e ! ten myself, but'I am no better to day
Q j on my death bed, than I have tried
;e ! to be every day of my life, and I havt
3t j no specis.1 preparation to make anc
j no special pleas to offer.'
" That was Mr. Stephens'a cree<
an? belief. I heard him say on an
ig j other occasion : 'Real prayer mean
?- ! to throw yourself at the feet of Jean
1-0 i Christ and to pray trustingly. M;
j prayer is the Lord's prayer and th
ie j publican'6 prayer.' Mr. Stephens'
16 ' creed was simple, but it would hav

A report comes to us that the peoJ
pie of the Tilles*8 Ferry section orJ
Lynches Creek are greatly excited afc]
this lime over the rumor that ther*
ia a wild woman wandering arounii
in that neighborhood. Some persone
who claim to have seen her, say that
she is very black, and that her body
is covered with long, black, woolly!
hair ; also, that her appearance and J
actions ?re wild and savage in the*
extreme. She is very shy and will j
not allow two people to approach her J
at a time, but if one person is alone
she will attack them at once, beating^
and biting them in a fearful manner.
Two men went out recently to cap
tuiR her, but up to nightfall nothing
had been seen ol' her. It was eug
gested that they light a fire and camp ?
oat, thinking that the light might J
attract her attention and induce her |
toc?me to it. After waiting eomej
time, one of the men concluded that '
he wonld go on home. Shortly after 1
he left, the woman made her appear-ii
ance and immediately attacked the J
man at the fire. He did his best at
fighting, bat he was no match for her.
He wag beaten and bitten in a fearful '
manner. At last he got a chance to ij
run away, and he did it in quick time, j
Fear lent speed and strength to his j
limbs, enabling him to ont ron hie'
enemy, although ??he ?B said to be very j
swift of foot.
This last act has increased the ex
citement, and many persons it is said,
are afraid to travel alone now. A.
party is being made up to hunt her

J>t8t seen, she was said to be eating a

it. This information was given to us

The Scandal That Drew.
The venerable clergyman arose
slowly in the pulpit, and glancing
around on the thinly-scattered con j
gregation, said in an emphatic tone,
in which there was more of sorrow
than of anger : "My beloved breth
ren, I am in hopes that there will be
more present next Sabbath, a9 I will
then have occasion to reveal a scan
dal which has long oppressed my
heart. It concerns the members < f
this church very deeply, and no ot e
who has a regard for eternal happi
ness should be absent." When the
I benediction was pronounced the hind

can scatter ! The next Sunday the
faired edifice was packed. Thero was,
indeed, scarcely breathing room when
the white haired sage once more lifted
his head above the pulpit cushion?,
and a silence ae of death fell upon
I the expectant throng. He stood s
j m ment looking upon the unwonted
j scene, and then his voice in silvery
! cadences broke the hush of anticipa
tion. "Dear friends," he said, "the

reading about this the other 'lay in
Scribner's Magazine-about the new
church in Connecticut- that has ab
sorbed all others. They call it th >
Christian League, and it includes
Methodists and Biptiets and Presby

bat one creed and that ia the apos

in the world to raioe, and he wa.8 in
favor of changing the constitution of j
the United States and have the gov

they do in England, -For,' says he
'it gets no better, but worpe; and if
it wasn't for the women the preachers
would perish to death.' He told me
about a member who got mad with
another member and wanted him
turned out of the church, and be
cause they wouldent do it he qut

thing for an excuse. Well, you tee
the preachers can't talk for them

long since learned how to stifler aLd
