HOME JOURNAL. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1880. THE SOUL OF SONG. POEMS XT MIGHT RETAY YOU TO READ, TO CLIP AND TO PRESERVE. CHARLESTON. What tremor fills the oppressive air ? What mean these clamors of despair That break the stillness of the night ? This terror weird, this wild affright ? Ah. ’tis a thrill no heart can can feel Without dismay, though wrought of steel! The earth's foundations rock! The city of a thousand woes Lies trembling now in dreadful throes. O’errun by pestilence and war, She stood unshaken, like, a star! But now her splendid columns reel, Her chimes no more shall loudly peal, Hushed by the earthquake's shock. How proudly did her walls defy Great England's hosts in days gone by! And through the shock of civil strife She still maintained her queenly life. Undaunted by misfortunes great She turned aside the shafts of Fate And grandly held her sway. But now her stately mansions lie All riven, wrecked and ruined by A power no valor can withstand, Nor human courage e’er command. Her towering steeples trembling bow, And round her laurel crested brow Destruction’s lightnings play. Oh, grand memorial of a past Which comes no more while Time shall last! Thy sons and daughters mourn with thee, Fair Empress of the Southern Sea! Thy grandeur we shall ne’er forget, We love thee—yes, we love thee yet! And to thy memories cling: What though St. Michael’s chimes are hushed, Thy monuments of glory crushed; There is a heart within thee still, And heroes’ blood its chambers fill— We ne’er thy dirge shall sing. Rise in thy beauteous strength once more, Thy fame shall spread from shore to shore; For every heart that valor loves To thee in thy affliction moves. Oh, grander than thy past shall be Tlialt glory which thy sons shall see, For valor never dies! Cheer up, old Charleston, naught can maim Thy title to the noblest name That e’er chivalrous people bore, Though days of chivalry be o'er, God keep thee through thy deep distress And all thy noble courage bless: Help thee once more to rise. — T.

After exchanging the usual preliminaries the following conversation ensued, consuming the whole afternoon. Says MRS. WISE—“I have just relieved myself of a great burden, so pleasantly, easily and agreeably too, that I must tell you about it. Ours, as you know, is a large family, four girls and two boys, most of them now at school. To buy all their outfits for the fall and winter is a great task. Mr. Wise suggested, as our bill would amount way up into the hundreds, that we first visit Athens, Augusta and Atlanta before purchasing. To these places we went. Their stocks were full, varied and attractive—prices moderate. Mot being fully satisfied and having heard of THE GREAT SOUTHERN EMPORIUM OF COriUMSMUNttiIIOI G-BEEITESBOBO, we decided to pay it at least a visit and see if the reports current were true. So we went and strange to say spent the whole day.” “Go on. Do tell me all about them.” ‘■W T ell, give me time. Their store is the largest for an interior town in the State and brim full from basement to attic. We asked to be shown first through their Dress Goods Department which alone covers one entire section in the building. Fancy Dress Goods 5, 6s, 8j and 10c yard, prettiest I ever saw. Mohairs, Cashmeres, Twills. Brocades and Lusters for 10, 12| and 15c yd that were simply wonderful. All colors and shades of plain Dress Flannels all wool 25c up. Single and double all wool Tricots, all shades, 33j, 35 to 55c yard. Double width colored Cashmeres, all shades, 20, 25, striped, brocaded and plaids. Black double width Cashmeres and Mourning Crapes from 20c to $1.25 yard.” “Go on 1” “Their stock of Velvets and Velveteens eclipses anything I ever saw—plain, striped, checked and fancy fromsoc to $3 yd. They are gems, yes, lovely gems, and their stock of black and COLORED CROS CRAIN SILKS, plaiu and fancy Satins all colors and prices from 50c yd up, would do lavish credit to any wholesale bouse. “They have everything you can think of, couceive of or imagine! and strange to say they have the newest and latest style trimmings and buttons to match every piece of goods. Mo trouble. It is indeed wonderful.” “Go on I” “Such a selection of Gloves, Hosiery, Jersey Cape Collars and Kids I never expect to see again. All prices, all styles and OH ! HOW OHU? ! Zephyr Shawls, all colors, Shoulder Shawls 12jc up, largo shawls for 50c up. White, cream, tan, blu\ scarlet and black Cashmere Shawls, in plain and embroidered, all prices—all the go. Balmoral Skirts, ladies Merino Undervests, Hamburg Edging and Insertion, Laces and Embroidery in white and colors, Torchon Laces white and colored, and every other kind you ever heard of. Truthfully I never sa.w such a grand and varied assortment of these goods.” “Go on! “Well, they showed us next their lines of Cotton and Silk Handkerchiefs in which there is everyliing the heart could wish from scts to 15cts. Linen Embroidery Goods, all ready stamped in Chair Tidies, Splashers, Bibs, Mats, Napkins, Watchcases, Umbrella Cases, Wall Pockets, etc., etc., with new shades in Utopia Embroidery Linen to work them with. They also showed as the loveliest assortment of Turkish Chair Tidies ! AND SPLASHERS I ever beheld. This is so.” “Go on!” “The temptation was growing too gjeat, so we asked to see the Prints. I tell you, Mrs. Slrange, they showed us about 500* pieces prettiest Dress Prints my eyes ever rested on—s. 6 and filets. They can suit and please any living being. They showed us the prettiest line of Spread Prints, first and second Mourning Prints and Cretonnes I believe that were ever made. It is the truth. Go Bee.” “Go on 1” “We did go on until we came to the JERSEY JACKETS ! And there we stopped, and you would have stopped too. They only have twenty-five varieties—this is all that’s made. Black Jersey* Blue Jerseys, Brown Jerseys, Red and Garnet Jerseys, Cream Jerseys and Buckle Jerseys in plain, plaited, braided, striped checked and I don’t know what else only they asked from 50cts each to $5.00. Tiiis beat anything I ever saw. Don’t take my word for it, but go and see for yourself.’ “Go on!” ' - “This we did until we reached the Newmarket, Cloak and Jacket Departments, and there we stopped again.^ Let me tell you, they have a stock of these goods that half the stores could not have. Newmarkets in black and brown, plain, fur and astrachan trimmed from $3.50 to $20.00. Buckle Newmarkets all prices. Cloaks from $1.25 up. Short Jackets in black and brown all prices. This department is the show of shows. 1 could talk a week about it.” “Go on.” “Next they carried us to the Flannel and Domestic Department, where is kept all grades, colors and prices of red, white, colored' rutms, umn km mm, Sheetings, Shirtings, Bleachings, Tickings, Drills, Pillow-casings, Sack and Shirt Flannels—in fact, this department is a store in; itself.” “Go on 1” “Well, we went next to the Linen Department where they keep Table Damask all colors, widths and prices. Towels, Napkins, Doyleys and Crash, Cassimere, Waterproofing, Stationery, Pocket and Table Cutlery, Books, Bibles, gents Collars and Cuffs, Cann ed Goods by the car load. Pocketbooks, Photo and Auto Albums, Visiting Cards and everything else you can think of.” “Go on 1” “Then we went down to the SHOE DEPARTMENT where they keep, it would seem to me, all the shoes that have been made in Boston since the war—lßo lines, every style imaginable, all the celebrated makes from 10c to SO.OO. They can and will suit you and don’t you forget it.” “Do go on!” “We dio, and crossed over to the Clothing, Hat and Shirt Department. Let me take off my specs and tell you.—Theybave the grandest Clothing wc ever saw. Childrens’ boys’ and men’s filnaniLt® and ©veucoats, every style and color made, at prices that will starve the manufacturers. Their Hats—l do believe they have a thousand different styles and colors, children's, boys’ and men’s in Wool, Furs and Stiff Brims, from 20c to $5.00. This the place of all places to buy Clothing, Hats and Shirts.” “Go on !” “Weil don’t hurry me. They next carried us up stairs and showed us the finest Carpet and Rug department, 1 believe, in the State. Hemp Carpets 18£c up, lugrain Carpets all prices, Brussels Carpets 05c up, Rugs to match. “Near by is their great Art Gallery, brim full or fine Chromos and Oil Paintings. To the left is their great Crockery and Glass ware department, containing everything in this line. Tea Sets containing 44 and 56 pieces $5.00 to $125 set; plain and fancy Bed Room Sets; plain and fancy Glassware. This department is a show—more like a wholesale than a retail division,” “Go on 1” “Then we passed through their great Tinware, Wood and Willow ware division ; Harness and Saddlery department. I can only say that 1 never in all my life saw their equal. You can buy any thing here you want at wholesale prices.” “Go on !” “We did, go right on, and walked into one of the handsomest HllLlim MPMTMEITS that we have been into in many days. Was introduced to that polite and artistic Milliner, Miss McColgan, of Baltimore, who> showed us her stock. Here, Mrs. Strange, suffice it to say her stock is all that heart could wish. I cannot say more. Go and see.” “Go on I” “Fiom here they carried us into their great Furniture Room 30x105 feet. My eyes opened wider still as I gazed on that palace. Truthfully, I had never seen half its equal. Suits of all prices and descriptions in Walnut, Cherry and Ash.

Nothing you could ask for but they have it. Then came the great Grocery Department, where all heavy groceries are kept by the car load. “Go on I" “We did, and soon reached their big Stove ami Range Room, where are kept all sizes Cook and Heating stoves, Piping, Fir*' Urates, etc. Stoves all complete, SIO.OO to $35.00.
