Hail, holy day, thou crowned of Heaven !
Hail, best beloved of all the seven 1
How fair, from out the empurpled sky,
TiOoks forth thy glory-beaming eye !
Broad from the welkin's crystal sphere
Thy blessing falleth, far and near ;
>5 hile Peace and Love, at either side,
Upon thy golden chariot ride.
It may he out a pleasing dream—
\ et fairest then the earth I deem.
Diviner, purer, when thine hours
Illume her hills, and streams and flowers;
How sweet the morn and evening bells !
How green the groves, how bright the dells !
hat blissful sounds are in the trees !
What tender music charms the breeze !
Even the rude Spirit of the Sea
Feels thy angelic ministry.
And when thou comest to his breast,
Rocks all his wanton waevs to rest.
Fair Nature owns, in tendcrest praise,
Thy sovereign loveliness and grace;
And from her wreathed altars rise
Sweet incense, and soft harmonies.
Then why should I refuse to bring
My Spirit's grateful offering?
Or fail, with gladsome heart, to twine.
Dear day. a song-wreath round thy shrine?
What pleasures blossom, and expand
To life and light, beneath thy hand !
How bright the hopes by thee that live 1
How sweet the solace thou canst give !
So flowers, on which the storm hath hurst,
Jy sunshine back to life are nursed;
■io skies look more serenely fair
tecanso the rainbow shineth there.
)S. blissful day ! how cold and bleak
Life's breath would blow, from week to week—
How sad. how dark the flood would be
That rolleth by eternally,
Didst thou not, on the tide of Time,
A golden Isle of Solace shine—
An Eden, in whose radiant bowers
The weary soul revives its powers
With balm exhaled from angels’ wings,
And draughts from Heaven's unfailing springs ;
And where the time-flood's endless sighs.
Change to celestial melodies !

Worthless Wealth.
A friend of mine was once taken by an old
man to see his riches. lie took him to a
splendid mansion, and said, ‘ This is all
mine.’ lie pointed him to a little town—
‘That is mine, it is called by my name.’ He
pointed him to a rolling prairie—‘Thatis all
mine; the sun never shone on a finer prairie
than that so fruitful and rich, and it's all
mine.’ In another direction lie showed him
fertile farms, extending for thirty miles.—
‘These are all mine.’ He took him into his
grand house, showed him his beautiful pic
tures. the costly gold plate, his jewels, and
still he said, ‘These are all mine. This grand
hall I have built; it is called by my name—
there is my insignia on it; and yet I was
once a poor boy. I have made it all myself.'
My friend looked at him. * Well, you've all
this on earth ; but what have you up there in
heaven T *Up where ?* said the old man.
‘Up in heaven.’ * Well, I'm afraid that I
haven't got much up there.’ * All!’ said mv
friend, ‘but you've got to die, and leave this
world ; wlmt will you take with von of these
things ?' The poor old man, (he was poor
enough in reality, though rich in all the
world's goods) burst into tears. lie had no
hope for the future !— Moody.
Mr. Spurgeon recently made a point
that preachers of the Gospel should use plain
English. Preachers use. he says, “ various
kinds of English ; one with many-syllabled
words, the other the Saxon their mothers
talked. I heard a story once of a number of
sailors who were playing cards up aloft and
had a light for the purpose. The captain
sent a midshipman to tell them to put it out,
and the midshipman told them to ‘ estingnish
that luminan\’ But the sailors did not un
derstand him. Then the captain called out,
‘douse that glim’—and out went the candle.
I should not have said that, but I should
have taken a middle point, and said, ‘put out
that candle, boys.’ I believe ‘ highfalutin’ is
too much used in the pulpit. We preachers
should speak so that people could not misun
stand us. even if they tried to do so.’
iTFThe ills we have are the ones we can
bear best, though we seldom think so. Eve
ry man lias an impression that he could hear
his neighbor’s troubles better than his own.
An experiment was once tried which throws
light on this problem. All the burdens un
der which men are bending were taken from
their shoulder and put together in a large
pile. Every one was invited to the pile and
choose the one he thought it would be easiest
to carry. The great company gathered, and
after lifting numberless burdens to their
shoulders and finding each a little heavier
than the other, they selected every man his
own trouble and went home with light hearts
and with a feeling that God knew more about
the matter than they did themselves.
L'ip’A man’s first care should be to avoid
the reproaches of his own heart; his next, to
escape the censures of the world.— Addison.

HAMPTON*B INAUGURAL WREATH.
Wade Hampton Inaugurated Before the Un
covered Heads of Thousands—Brave and
Patriotic Sentiments—The Party , Pledges
and the Commonwealth's Honor—the Dawn
ofa Brighter Day.
Columbia, S. C., December 14.—Governor
Hampton was inaugurated to-dav, at 3
o’clock, amid the joyous shouts of the people.
After the inauguration the people bore him
on their shoulders up Main street to the
Wheeler House, where several distinguished
citizens and strangers spoke. The wildest
enthusiasm exists among the people, whrch
has not subsided vet. The action of the Con
gressional committee to-day were unimpor
tant.
Columbia, December 14.—The Senatorial
Committee arrived to-night, bringing six at
tuchees, among whom is Redpath, the bloody
shirt correspondent.
Columbia. December 14.—The inaugural
of General Ilampon took place in front of
Carolina Hall this afternoon. The square
in front of the Hall was densely packed by
persons of both races, and the house tops
were covered with specta'ors. At 3:30
Hampton was escorted to the stand amid
demonstrations of great enthusiasm. Mem
bers of the General Assembly occupied the
space immediately surrounding the stand,
with the crowd in the rear. General Hamp
ton then read his inaugural address, of which
the following is an extract:
Gentlemen o f the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives:
It is with feelings of the profoundest so
licitude that I assume the arduous duties and
grave responsibilities of the high position to
which the people of South Carolina have call
ed me. It is amid events unprecedented in
this Republic that l take the chair as Chief
Magistrate of this State. In a time of pro
found peace, when no legal officer had been
resisted in the proper discharge of his func
tions. we have witnessed a spectacle abhor
rent to every patriotic heart and fatal to re
publican institutions. Federal troops used
to promote the success of a political party.
Undismayed, though shocked by this gross
violation of the Constitution and of the Court,
our people, with a determination that no
force could subdue, no fraud could defeat,
kept steadily and peacefully in the path of
duty, resolved to assert their rights as Amer
ican freemen at 'the ballot-box. that great
court of final resort before before which must
tie tried the grave questions of the supremacy
of the Constitution and the stability of our
institutions. What the verdict of the people
of South Carolina has been you need not be
told. It has reverberated throughout the
State, and its echo has come back to us from
every land where liberty is venerated, declar
ing in tones that cannot be mistaken, that,
standing on the Constitution of our country,
we propose to obey its laws, to preserve as
far as in us lies its peace and honor, and to
carry out in good faith every pledge made by
her for reform and honest government. We
intend to prove to the world the sincerity of
our declaration that the sole motive which
inspired the grand contest we have so suc
cessfully made was not the paltry ambition
for party supremacy, but the sacred hope of
redeeming our State. But it was sought to
wrest the fruits of this victory by a gigantic
fraud and a base conspiracy. When the
members elect of the General Assembly re
paired to the Capitol to take their seats, arm
ed soldiers of the Federal Government con
fronted them and their certificates of election
were examined and passed upon by a corpo
ral of the guard. It was amidst these ap
palling scenes that the members of the Gen
eral Assembly were called on to assume
their duties as the representatives of a free
State, and that State one of the organized
thirteen who won our independence and fram
ed our Constitution, debarred the free exer
cise of their rights by the presence of an
armed force.
A legal quorum of the Lower House, after
placing on record the protest, quietly with
drew from the Capitol and proceeded to or
ganize that branch of the General Assembly.
You have seen a minority of the House usurp
the who’e body ; you have seen the majority
expelled from their hall by threats of force :
you have seen persons having no shadow of
a claim as members admitted to seat s as rep
resentatives by the votes of men who them
selves were acting in direct violation of the
constitution ; and you have seen the last
crowning act of infamy, by which a candidate
for the office of Governor, defeated by the
popular vote, had himself declared elected by
liis co-conspirators. It is due to mv position,
as the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth,
to place on record my solemn and indignant
protest against those acts, which I consider
as subversive, of civil liberty and destructive
of onr form of government. A great task is
before the Conservative party of this State.
They entered on this contest, with a platform
so broad, so strong, so liberal that every hon
est citizen could stand upon it. They recog
nized and accepted the amendments of the
Constitution in good faith, they pledged them
selves to work reform and to establish good
government, they promised to keep up an ef
ficient. system of public education, and they
declared solemnly that all citizens of South
Carolina, of both races and of both parties,
should he regarded ns equals in the eye of
the law. all to he fully protected in the enjoy
ment of every political right now possessed
hv t hem. To the faithful observance of these
pledges we stand committed, and I, as the
representative of the Conservative party, hold
myself hound hy every dictate of honor and
of good faith to use every effort to have the
pledges redeemed fully and honestly. Let. us
show to all of them that the true interest of
both races can best he secured by cultivating
pence and promoting prosperity among all
classes of our fellow-citizens. I rely confi
dently on the support of the members of.the
General Assembly in rav efforts to attain
these laudable ends, and I trust that all
branches of the government will unite cordi
ally in this patriotic work. If so united and
working with resolute will and earnest deter
mination, we may hope soon to see the dawn
of a brighter day for our State. God, in His
infinite mercy, grant that it may come
speedily, and may He shower the richest
blessings of peace and happiness on our whole
people.
At the close of the address, the oath of of
fice was administered, bv Trial Justice Mar
shal. to Hamilton as Governor and to \Y. D.
Simpson as Lieutenant-Governor, the crowd
standing uncovered while the ceremony was
being performed. The chair in which Gen
eral Hamilton was seated was then wrapped
in the national colors, and he was borne on
the shoulders of a dozen men to his hotel,
escorted by the entire crowd. Several prom
inent gentlemen addressed the multitude from
the front of the hotel. The Con gresslonal
Committee occupied a prominent position on
one of the balconies. After the speaking,
the crowd quietly dispersed.
Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown.
11. W. G. thus alludes to Governor Brown's
illness, in his Tallahassee correspondence :
Yon will have learned by the time this
reaches you that Governor Brown has been
quite ill. I did not wire you. because of his
request that it should not be done. I may
say now though, that for two days there was
very serious fear that his sickness might ter
minate fatally, lie had pneumonia, which is
especially fatal in this changeable climate.
You may imagine that the Democrats were
very blue, when he was at his worst. Al
though 1 have had a great deal to do with the
Ex-Governor—although he took occasion once
to rise up and “sit down’’ on an enterprise
with which I was connected, with a vigor and
emphasis only equaled by that with which
Ilnmpty Dumpty sits down on the inflated
baby in the play, I never knew until he was
sick, what a mental power the man had. lie
lay there in bed, with two fly blisters pulling
torture out of his breast, and every breath he
drew cutting into his lung like a knife, and
surrounded by a pile of law books, which
were being read to him. made up the skeleton
of the legal argument on which the Demo
crats will rest their case to-morrow. On
Thursday night there was a ball in the dining
room, which is separated bv a single wall
from his room. The clamor was fearful. A
brass band was blowing its brains out through
some exceedingly noisy horns. A half a
dozen greased elbows were sawing across as
many resonant fiddles, and the shouts and
laughter were literally ear-splitting. I ex
pressed the fear that it would make him worse
by keeping him awake.
“Oh ! no," said he, “ I call will mj’self to
sleep at any time I want to.’*
And almost straightway he shut his eyes
and did so. I arose and looked at him with
wonder in m v eyes. A sort of smile came to
the sleeping face, and I have no doubt lie was
dreaming that he was snoozing away after a
hard day's work in the old log cabin at Can
ton, winter's rain pattering drowsily on the
shelving house-top, and the wind sobbing
huskily against the stout oaken door!
I started out of the room walking on tip
toe, foolishly afraid of waking the sleeper.—
Jeff, his faithful attendant, laughed at my
caution, and said :
‘'You might shoot your pistol off right in
the Governor’s ear, and he wouldn't wake up
'less he wanted to."
I solemnly believe that Jeff was right.
Mr. Stephens in Congress.
WIIAT A FEMALE CORRESPONDENT SAYS OF HIM.
Mr. Stephens’ appearance is so picturesque
that he is a boon to the writer of letters.—
Mrs. Clemmer writes thus to the Cincinnati
Commercial, in describing the opening of Con
gress : “ A little way up the aisle sits a
queer-looking bundle. An immense cloak, a
high hat, and peering somewhere out of the
middle a thin, pale, sad little face. This brain
and eyes, enrolled in countless thicknesses
of flannel and broadcloth wrappings, belongs
to the Moil. Alexander 11. Stephens, of Geor
gia. How anything so small and sick and
sorrowful could get here all the way from
Georgia is a wonder. If he were to draw his
last breath any instant yon would not be sur
prised. If he were laid out in his coffin he
needn’t look any different, only then the fires
would have gone out in those burning e}'es.
Set, as they are, in the wax-white face, they
seem to burn and blaze. Still, on the counte
nance is stamped that pathos of long-continu
ed suffering which goes so to the heart. lie
took the modified oath in his chair, and, when
he had taken it. his friends picked him up in
it and carried him off as if he were a feather.
When he has not strength enough to hurt a
flea he takes a solemn oath never again to
bear arms against the country that takes
hack, as if ho had never wounded her, this
once recreant but never ignoble son.”
The Forsyth Advertiser says that years ago
(before the war) there were two brothers liv
ing in Monroe county who talked together
concerning the best portion of the South in
which to make money. One left for Louisiana,
the other was content to remain in Monroe.
The latter has prospered and has always had
a snug sum of money laid by for hard times,
and although times have been hard indeed,
this fund has been kept safe and sound.—
The one who went to Louisiana desires, after
the lapse of many years, to visit his old home
and friends. But not having prospered, he
cannot do so unless his brother sends him the
money. And yet Louisiana is said to be a
more desirable home than Georgia.
Read not books alone, but men.
SELECT MISCELLANY.
The Abuse of Credit.
Tt is to be hoped that the business depres
sion through which the Country is passing
will have the effect of putting an end to the
inflated system of credit which has latterly
been the bane of the business community.—
Without believing at all in the extreme views
of those who insist that the business vocabu
lary should contain no such word as credit,
and that all transactions should be conducted
upon the strict pav-down principle, we are
yet firmly convinced that a system of credit
such as has been in vogue the last few years
is the inveterate foe of business stability, and
that onr old time business prosperity will not
be restored to a secure foundation until anew
departure is instituted in this regard.
The interminable array of failures and sus
pensions that have been chronicled in these
columns and the business crashes that are
continually occurring would seem to tell a
talc sufficiently suggestive of alarm as to the
true proportions of the bloated system of
credit which lias attained such a dangerous
growth in our midst, but such symptoms,
alarming though they be, by no means tell
the whole story—they arc simvty the out
ward manifestations of a disease so chronic
and deep-seated as to have become a vampire
upon the very vitals of trade. Many busi
ness houses which arc weathering the storm
and are regarded as impregnable in a finan
cial point of view, are living solely upon bor
rowed strength and owe all their factitious
stability to tlio leniency and forbearance of
their creditors. It is a common remark that,
were our business houses called upon to meet
their indebtedness at once, nearly all of them
would be obliged to suspend, and some that
are reputed onr “strongest" firms would prob
ably be unable to pay twenty-five cents on a
dollar.
The remedy for the existing order of things
is in the hands of creditors, an 1 it would
seem that the instincts of self-defense would
prompt them to sec that it is applied at once.
One thing they may rest assured, that as long
as they are reckless in giving credit there
will always be those who will be more
reckless in accepting it. Trade has come to
be infested with a gang of sharpers and shys
ters who make a business of preying upon
the innocent credulity and gullibility of busi
ness men, and only the contraction of credit
to its legitimate limits can drive this crowd
of vultures to the wall. The so-called “fail
ures" of this class of men are nothing less
than down-right swindles, and it is a danger
ous lenity on the part of business circles to
make such robberies fashionable by palliat
ing them under the names of gentle euphem
isms. We have in mind a sample “ failure’’
of this kind which recently occurred in Bos
ton. Since the “ failure”—which, by-tho-way.
was for a large amount —the “financially em
barrassed" party has given up house-keeping
in the suburbs and taken his family of three
to one of the most aristocratic hotels—if not
the most aristocratic hotel in the city—where
he is obliged to pinch himself to a hundred
dollars a week for board. We mention this
“ financial embarrassment'’ not as anything
exceptional at all, as the times are going, hut
simply as illustrating a type of high-toned
stealing which has latterly come to be of com
mon occurrence. Parties are failing every
day with liabilities of $15,000, $20,000 and
$25,000 who ought never to have been trusted
for the clothes on their backs.
The truth is that people have been abso
lutely crazy in the matter of granting credit,
and it is high time that they put their foot
upon the mercantile Ku-Kluxism so rampant
in our midst. Failures with liabilities of
thousands and available assets of less than
as many cents should be understood by this
time, and it would seem that we ought soon
to hear the last of such shameless spectacles
as “ embarrassed” business men, with $.50,-
000 homes (owned by their wives), offering
five or ten cents on a dollar. As we have
said before, the remedy for such outrages is
in the hands of creditors, and it is for them
to say when it shall be applied. —Boston
Paper.
A well-known ball-beaded banker, who
always prides himself on being a self-made
man, during a recent talk with a friend had
occasion to remark that he was the architect
of his own destiny—that he was a self-made
man. “W-w-hat d-d id you you s-ay ?” asked
the friend, who stutters. “I say with pride
that I am a self-made man—that I made my
self.” replied the banker. “Then while you
were m-making yourself,” stammered his
friend, “why the dickens d-didn't you p-put
some more h-hair on t-top of your h-head ?”

THE different editions of Tiie SUN during the
next rear will be the same as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four and on Sun
days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 oroad columns J
while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends,
The Sun will continue to be the stfenuotls ad

substitulion cfstatesmanship, wisdom, and integ
rity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in
the administration of public affairs. It will con
tend for the government of the people by the peo
ple and for the people, as opposed to government
by frauds in the ballot box and in the counting of
votes, enforced by millitary violence. It will
endeavor to supply its readers—a body now Hot.
far from a million of souls—with the most careful,
complete, and trustworthy accounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a numer
ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and
correspondents. Its reports from Washington,
especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless; and
it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy
the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the
Treasury or by usurping what the law does not
give them, while it will endeavor to merit the Con
fidence of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
The price of the daily SUN will be cents a
month or 86 50 a year, post paid, or with the Sun
day edition $7 70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1 20 a
