TUESDAY* NOVEMBER 9.
*T?E ?AST.HYMI?.
MARIASSE FARNISGHAM.
i.
The Sabbath day was ended in a Tillage by
the sea.
The ottered benediction touched the people
tenderly ;
And they rose to face the sunset io the glow*
log lighted west,
And theJipTiasteaed to their dwellings for
God's blessed boon of rest.
II.
Bot they looked across toe waters, and a
storm was raging there ;
A fierce spirit mored about them-the wild
spirit of the air-?
And it lashed and shook and tore them-till
they thundered, groaned and boomed,
And alas I for any vessel in their yawning
gulfs entombed.
III.
Very anxious were the people on that rocky
coast of Wales,
Lest the dawns of coming morrows should be
telling a-wfal tales,
When .the sea had spent its passion and
'should cast upon the shore
Bits of wreck, and swollen victims, as it had
done heretofore.
? ! - IV. ;
With the rough winds blowing round her, a
brave woman strained ber eyes,
And she saw along the billows a large ves?
sel fall aad rise,
Oh 2 it did not need a prophet to tell what
themed most be,
For no sbip'coaH' -ride in safety. near that
- shore on such a sea.
V.
Then the-pitying people hurried from their
: "' homes and thronged the beach ;
Ob i for power to cross the waters and the
perishing to reach 1
Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow, ten?
der hearts grew cold with dread,
And tp?tt&?$&*T the tempest, to the
" fatal rock shore sped.
r -YI.
"She baa. parted in tus middle ! Oh I the half
of ber goes down!
God have mercy ! Is. Heaven far to seek for
those who drown ?"
So when next the white, shocked faces looked
with terror on the sea,
Onlyone last clinging figure on the spar was
seen ? be?
vu.. _
Nearer^fetOTb?mg watchers came the wreck
fossedTby the wave.
And the man still clung and floated though
no power, o3 earth could save.
Could we send . him ? short message? Here's
af trampet ; >hont away ?
'Twas the preacher's band -that took it, and
be wondered what to say.
VIIL
Any memory.of bis sermon ? Firstly ? - Sec?
ondly ? Ah, no !
There was but one thing to utter in that aw?
ful hour of woe ;
So bevShoufed through the trumpet, "Look to
Jesus ! Can you hear ?"
And "Ay, ay, sir 1" rang the answer o'er the
water loud and clear.
rr * - rix. -? ;
Then they listened,- t4He is singing! Jesus
lover of my soul ;
And the winds broaght back the echo, "while
the raging billows roll,"
Strange! indeed, it was to hear him, "till
the storm of life is past."
Singing bravely from the waters, "Oh, re?
ceive my soul at last."
" X.
He could hare no other refuge; "Hangs my
heavy soul on thee ;
Leave, ah, leave me not"-The singer drop
& ped at last into tbe sea,
And" the watchers, looking homeward,
v : through their eyes with tears made dim,
Said, "He passed to be with Jesus in the sing?
ing of that hymn.".
[For the Watchman and Southron.]
Tableaux Vivants.
^u*g?&tor~: The series of tableaux
aSvertiseoT iii ~ your progressive jour?
nal, to be given under the auspices of
"The Emersonian Society'' on the
-J?2pd. ult., in behalf of,
?'The Confede^ateJIome,,, at Charles?
ton, S. C., was a signal success, both
as a channing and brilliant spectacle,
and as a financial effort. Capt. John
Maxcy, a courteous, genial and cul?
tivated gentleman, opened wide his
spacious hall at Bradford Springs,
and the graceful and intellectual lady
cf the house, ably assisted by numer?
ous fair friends and gallant gentlemen,
In generous rivalry, offered a display
most varied and superb, to a large
and most appreciative audience. Very
much is properly due to Miss Emma
B. Colclough, a distinguished grad
nate of ^Tne lEIome School," and to
Miss Elise Moore's good sense and
rare taste, also a proficient graduate
of "The Xoimal School" at Charles?
ton, S. C., for the general success ;
and in the intervals between .the res?
pective tableaux, Misses Annie and
Rosine Jennings contributed delight?
ful music, andi Prof. McIntosh played
sweetly uponMhe guitar, and Mr.
Mood Brown exquisitely upon the
violin. Miss F. ? Pack, the blind
giri, recited too, with great effect,
"The lips that touch liquor shall never
touch mine," arid a profoundly touch?
ing poem entitled "The Last Hymn,"
besides, contributing several beauti?
ful songs and fine specimens of execu?
tion upon the piano. This was a vol?
untary offering on the part of Miss
Pack, and finely illastratecfher liberal
and kindly spirit. But ? must hasten
to the tableaux as 1 already fear that
r'efcair be voluminous. When at a
given signal the curtain rose, the first
scene was that of "Charleston and
Charity." Charleston was portrayed
by^Mrs. R. C. Rembert nee Agnes
Heriot, and Charity by Miss Julia S.
Burgess, of Statesburg, S. C. Charles?
ton stood arrayed in a tattered tatin
and tarleton drf&s, crossed by abroad
band of white satin upon which was
embroidered "Charleston" in bright
letters. Charity, in pure white mull
and lace supported the stricken maid,
who stood with hair dishevelled and
almost trailing upon the very stage,
and with must piteous mein yet with
lustrous eyes, in whose dark depths
already gleamed a renovated life,
while Charit}', a fair blonde, with
golden locks and virgin veil, beckon?
ed aid, her winning and buoyant air,
already foretelling humanity's muni?
ficent response.
The second picture shown was
"The Evening Pi ayer." This was a
peaceful domestic scene, and it was
moat beautifully exhibited by Mrs. C.
L. Williamson and her graceful little
daughter, Georgie. The former, clad
in a steel grey silk and amber jewels,
posed a lovely matron engaged in a
pious duty with serious, solemn brow,
yet not too grave to vex or steal a
single charin, while her darling girl
in white embroidered 'robe de nuit/
upon bended knee, with clasped
bands and reverent eyes, seemed to
brea?ie an orison pure as an angel's
- thought.
The third was fall of beauty and
redolent of youth and innocence:
'Twas the "Sleeping Beauty," Miss
Lela Dick, asleep in beaut}' and in de?
licious languor, clad in white cash?
mere embroidered with morning glo?
ries; her fair arms encircled with
golden bands. The court around her
slept. The King himself (Benjamin '
Colclough) in black and red velvet
and royal crown; the Queen, (Miss!
! -Essie Dick) biaek velvet and gold
trimmings with train of gold; Maids
of Honor, Misses Sadie Burrows and
Ria -Burden in blue and pink, with
court train, and Misses Dora Rich?
ardson and Del Dunn, in plum plush
suit and blue and white satin ; Mas?
ters Ashley Maxcy and Harry Bur?
den (court pages) stood arrayed in
blue and red satin. Lo ! scene 2nd,
the coming of the fairy Prince (Mas?
ter William Burrows) ia pint and
white silk and white plume, and he,
kneeling, kisses and awakes tjie
slumbering maid, and gives life back.
Stayed for a hundred years.
The fourth tableau, "No rose with?
out a thorn" ; personages, Professors
Gibbes and Dick and Miss P. C. Col?
clough. Miss Colclough ?n pure
white, full of youth and loveliness,
fascinates the handsome and brilliant
young professor, who steals a kiss, at
which:the*angry parent (Prof. Gibbes)
frowns, and is deep'y moved, where?
at the couple are alarmed and quick
asunder part.
Tableau fifth, Misses Moore, Katie
McKinnon, and Lena Colclough pose
as /'Eaithj Hope and Charity,"-a
lov?fy andrnost expressive scene, the
three beautiful figures draped in tulle
and with flowing bair. Faith lean?
ing ?upon Charity. Hope holding
fast to Charity with radiant eyes,
'panting for the place of its etberial
birth."
At this point, there was an inter?
mission for un hour, white the assem?
bled company partook of the abund?
ant delicacies prepared. Again the
curtain rises, and we look upon "The
Gamblers," Messrs. W. J'. McKain,
E. B. Colclough, E. Coachman, and
D. Rothschild, seated around a table
with the air of Western desperadoes
and with intensity of gaze are casting
all upon a die. Scene 2nd-The tab?
leau has become a pantomime, for
fiercely do McKain and Coachman
make at each other in savage rage ;
Colclough .sits serene and unconcern?
ed, while Rothschild with avaricious
mien, slyly secretes the golden pile
the curtain falls.
7th Tableau, "Dressing the Bride."
Here; was shown,. the interior of a
bridal apartment, fair beauty's shrine,
and the. sweet bridesmaids, Misses
Lizzie Phillips, P. C. Colclough, and
Leland Hudson, in pure white and in
their own native loveliness, did deck
with happy-hands, the gorgeous bride
(Mrs. R. C. Rembert) in a pearl fig?
ured satin, orange buds and bloom;
ber glorious bair enriched by a crown
of the same -fair flowers ; a cameo-set
lent its jewelled worth ; from her fair
neck a golden necklace hung, and
flashed a cross and a laurel wreath ;
adown the delicious figure swept in
graceful waves a bridal veil, and out
of all shone ber own fair face, a glow
of joy, and on her sweet lips seem to
hang the words, "He, my lion, and
my noble. Lord."
8th Tableau, "The Spinsters Tea
Party." Characters : Mrs. L. A.
Dixon, and Misses Mamie DuBose,
Katie McKinnon, and P C. Colclough
-ail in full silk skirts and caps upon
gossip bent-most admirably display?
ed.
9th Tableau, "Rowena and Rebec?
ca," Miss Emma B. Colclough, and
Mrs John Maxcy. Rowena, in white
tulle and. satin, white veil, her neck
encircled with" white bugles. Rebec?
ca, in pink silk and wine-colored vel?
vet.- * Rebecca's attitude, suppliant,
presenting a gift to Rowena, the
whole face and figure replete with
force and expressive beauty, while
Rowena in divinity of grace and love?
liness did shine, with eyes of star
Hke glories. -
Last scene of all, a royal oriental
one-Sultan, (L. A. Dixon, Esq.) in
yellow satin and moire antique ; tur
band of black silk and richly figured
satin, lay reclining, while down upon
bim beamed, in light Eastern costume,
the fairest of the fair (Miss E. B.
Colclough) in robe of white cashmere
and satin, turban of white plusb, a
fan most gracefully, poised ; she look?
ed, "a joy forever," while the fair
cup-bearer (Mrs. R. C. Rembert) in
a crimson velvet tunic trimmed in
gold, with turban of crimson blue and
gold, white ostrich plume and veil of
lace, sat leaning her cheek upon her
band ; ber lovely sister, alike sat by
(Miss Mamie DuBose) arrayed in
black and red velvet, and white lace,
a rapturous dream; while Miss
Mooee?, the spirit of the entire pa?
geant, in Roman scarf, black satin,
and zone of gold, blue veil and tam?
bourine in hand, stirred the Sultan's
soul. To close the picture, the grace?
ful lady of the house, in a robe of
pink silk, with turban of black and
pink velvet, at her embroidery sat.
Yet stay, the bright and bewitching
Lady in waiting, (Miss Katie Mc?
Kinnon) with tender eyes, most sweet
in silk of white and pink, let's full the
curtain. VISITOR.
The Darlington Fair.
The Sixteenth Annual County Fair
was a decided success. While neither
the exhibits nor the numbers in attend?
ance were quite as large as on previous
years, the quality of many of the
articles was never surpassed in this or j
any other County in the State. The
display of field crops was particularly
good.
The hay was as good as is to be
found any where, and it is a great pity,
since so fine a quality can be produced
in Darlington County that no more
attention is paid to this valuable indus?
try. The ensilage of Mr. J. F. Hart
was excellent, and deserves particular
mention, as it was prepared in a barrel,
thus conclusively demonstrating the
fact that it can be made without a silo.
The monster pumpin raised by Mr. W.
H. Thomas, and said to weigh over
150 pounds, would furnish a slice of
pie for every man in Col. James's re?
giment. The tables of thc building were
literally covered with exquisite crazy
quilts, pictures, screens, painted ch;na,
fans, panel pictures, mats, shawls,
artificial flowers, &c.
There must have been over 50 pair j
of fowls on exhibition, a large number
of which belonged to Dr. Wallace.
The display in this department was
certainly beautiful The cattle were
the best exhibited here, and finer re?
gistered jersey's could not be found any
where ia South Carolina. Those ex?
hibited by Mr. C. S. McCullough are
deserving of especial mention. The
registered Holstein bull of Capt. Paul
Whipple weighs 1,600 pounds and will
be exhibited at the State Fair. Tue
mules, sheep and hogs were in splendid j
condition and the horses, as is usual at
our Faire, were beautiful animals. !
Some good specimens of wool were on I
exhibition, and three samples of tobac
co. The tobacco raised by Mr. F. M.
Rogers, Jr., who was appointed to
make the experiment for the State, was
, of a beautifully rich color, and won
i the premium. An accouDt of the
exhibits would be incomplete did we
fail to speak of the handsome show case
of Mason's arranged with an attrac?
tive assortment of silverware which
first attracted the attention as one en?
tered the building. Many other arti?
cles, too numerous to mention, were on
exhibition.-D. Neics.
So the Jury Says.
.Well, Jerry, I see that you don't
keep your saloon open on Sunday.'
*So the Jury says. And I under?
stand that you don't keep a gambling
boase. George.'
?Oh, no. The Jury has decided
that I don't and they ought to know.'
'This jury system is a great thing
isn't it V
?Oh, great! The country couldn't
get along without it. By the way,
drop around at No. 134 some night
and play a little.'
'Thanks, I will. And any Sunday
you're down my way stop io and get a
drink.'
Something You Need-Shorthand.
"Why ?"
Because it will aid you more than anything
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve you io case of misfortune.
"How can it be learned ?"
By the aid of a book studied at home and
lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifling sum of S6 00, including book.
"Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the
same course of instruction for $25?
Because a new text-book is used that re?
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference in price by the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more prac?
tical, besides being the most popular method,
having the indorsement of our Congressional
and professional reporters every where, togeth?
er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of
Phonographic Colleges. Boys and men on
the farm, in workshops and elsewhere-girls
at home, in factories and at school have learn?
ed the art in from threee to six month's study
during spare moments and been helped to
positions io offices by Mr. Scott-Browne where
they have earned from $12 to $20, a week.

S. S. S. vs. POTASH.
I have had Wood poison for ten years. I know I have taken one hundred bottlrs of
iodide of potash in that time, but it did rae no good. Last summer my face. neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I conld scarcely use my arms ou account of rheu?
matism in my shoulders. 1 took S. S. S.. and It has done me more good than all other medi?
cines I have taken. My face, body and neck are perfectly clear and clean, and my rheu?
matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pounds when i began the medicine, and I now weigh
152 pounds. My first bottle helped me greatly, and gave me an appetite like a strong man.
i ?,wd not be without S. S. S. for several times its weight in gold.

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Bay Fever,
Headache, Debility, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, tbe
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and less wear to itself; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the lungs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science has
yet made.
'The Compound Oxygen Treatment,' Dre.
Starkey k Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil?
adelphia, have been using for the last sixteen
years, isa seien ti fie adjustment of theelements
of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the
compound is so condensed and made portable
that it is sent all over the world.
DRS. STARKEY k PALEN have the liberty to
refer (in proof of their standing as Physicians)
to the following named well-known persons
who have tried their Treatment:
