WILLIAM WINTER.
The violets that you gave are dead—
They could not bear the loss of you;
The spirit of the rose has fled—
It- ioved you, and its love was true:
Back to vour lips that spirit flies,_
To bask beneath your radiant eyes.
Only the ashes bide with mo—
-1 he ashes of the ruined flowers—
Types of a rapture not to be;
Bad relics of bewildering hours;
Poor, frail, forlorn and piteous shows
Of errant passion’s wasted woes.
Il*‘ grandly loves who loves in vain!
t hese withered flowers that lesson teach:
They suffered; they did not complain;
Their life was love too great for speech;
In silent pride their fate they bore:
’ihey loved, they grieved, they died—no
more.
Far off the purple banners flare,
Beneath tne golden morning spread:
I know what queen Is worshiped there,
What laurels wreathe her lovely head.
Her name is sacred in my thought.
And sacred be the grief she brought!
For since I saw that glorious face
And heard the ruusic of that voice,
Much beauty’s fallen to disgrace
That used to make my heart rejoice:
And rose and violet ne’er can be
The same that once they were to mo.

The Laurens Railroad is now com

There were about sixty vessels in
the port of Charleston on Saturday
last, exclusive of small coasting crafts
and steamboats, consisting of three
steamships, four ships, twenty-four
barks, nine brigs and about twenty
schooners.
On Sunday morning, in Charleston,
Albert Christopher and L. Brothers,
became engaged in a quarrel, in which
Christopher stabbed his opponent.
Win. W. Hardee, living at Hemuiing
way’s Ferry, Horry comity, was thrown
to the ground by a dying horse, and

Last week, the attractive dwelling
house belonging to Jobn Klein, for
merly the Mazyck property, situated
about one mile from Aiken, on the old
Augusta Road, was entirely consumed
by Are.
On Saturday night last High Mills
Church, near Stat.eburg, at which the
Charleston Baptist Association was
holding its annual meeting, was broken
open and a number of Bibles and hymn
books, and a trunk containing the most
valuable papers belonging to the asso
ciation, were stolen.
The gin house of Mr. J. N. Alexan

Nothing of consequence has trans
pired in the State Legislature so far
except that the House of Representa
tives, on Wednesday last, by an unani
mous vote sustained the Governor’s
veto of the Tax Bill which was passed
at the last session. This kills the
measure, and anew bill will be prepared
at once. It is thought that the State
tax will be brought within the limit of
one per cent.

[Brunswick (Me.) News.]
Mrs. Sniffles has had more trouble
with Lycurgus, and has been strength
ened in the belief that he is totally
unlike other men; in fact, teetotally
unlike many of them. He had been on
a long sober stretch up to a couple of
weeks ago. About that time he learned
that his only aunt, a rich old lady in
St. Louis, had died and left him
an immense fortune—to get, if
he could. This was a sore disap
pointment to our friend, for he had ex
pected to be made a rich man by the
death of this (once respected) relative.
Never was the news of an aunt’s death
road with more poignant grief by sur
viving kin. A postscript to the letter
conveying the sad intelligence stated
that the good old soul had bequeathed
her entire wealth to a benevolent insti
tution. This was tho rusty rod of iron
that pierced his soul and made murky
the fountain of hope. He tore the let
ter to pieces, and bent his faltering
steps to the nearest saloon. He drunk;
he tell.
******
[Those stars represent drinks. Forty
drinks to the star.]
Mrs. Sniffles was in despair. She had
thought his reformation was complete,
and now “the old man was drunk
again,” with no sign of ever lotting up.
Finally she bethought her of the sys
tem in vogue at certain inebriate
asylums—that of mixing liquor with
every article of food until the patient
acquires a lasting distaste for alcohol.
She determined to try that plan on
Lycurgus.
She procured a gallon of the worst
whiskey to be had, and put some of it
in the old man’s coffee to begin with.
It has been his unvarying custom to
drink but one cup at a meal. That
night he passed his cup back to bo re
filled, saying, as he smacked his lips:
“Better coffee ’n usual, ole gal.”
Next morning she increased the dose.
He drank three cups, and fell from his
chair as he was reaching for a fourth.
He slept until noon and went out to
dinner. There was beef soup and whis
key—half and half. Sniffles ate it all,
and said, as he wiped his mouth:
“You’re git’n to be a better eook’n
any body, m’dear. But yer didn’ make
so up ’null”
At supper everything was saturated
with whiskey, aud Sniffles ate until he
became helpless, and his wife had to
drag him to bed.
The gallon of whiskey was soon
gone, and the only change that Mrs.
Sniffles noticed in her husoand was
that while it lasted he came to his
meals with greater regularity than
usual.
She is not the woman to give up any
thing without a fair trial. She got
another gallon, and came near starving
herself to death while she fed it to
Sniffles in everything that he ate and
drank. His appetite increased at a
fearful rate, and he complimented her
every day on her newly-acquired skill
in cooking.
The second gallon soon went the way.
of the first, and after two or three
meals had passed without the season
ing of which Sniffles had become so
fond, he said, in tones that would have
touched the heart of a tax-collector,
"Marauder, dear, the victuals don’t
taste as good as the used to. Seems
to be somethin’ or nurther missing.”
Is there aDy wonder the poor woman
gave it up in despair?

Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won

For several years I suffered dreadfully with

relief. 1 took six bottles, and am now per

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe. It lS the
eauso of much injury. Wo are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that h often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
ageuts, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and lie will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in tlio coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.

OYSTER SHELL LIMR
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in
Use in Georgia.
NOTHING in the way of a Fertilizer and
Renovator of old soils has been fouffid
equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good
effects are seen and continues for oight to
tea years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all
Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and
also to Potatoes and all root crops, and
should be appliod in quantities not less
than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost
Heaps It is invaluable, and to tlie'planters
of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci
ally recommended to briny up our State to
the front rank in Agricultural matters. The
cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME
will recommend it to every farmer who has
used fertilizers largely for the past few
yoars. Its value is greatly enhanced by Its
long yoars of ‘service, acting as it does for
years after its application has been forgot
ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub
stances tho manurial qua'tty in Lime Is
more fully recognized. Nterogon abounds
in all soils of common fertility, but little of
it is available—Lime unlocks this store
house of Nitrogen and renders it readily
available for plant food. A splendid and
economical compost fertilizer maybe made
by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt
and three of Lime, and iet the mixture
stand six to eight weeks bofsro using. This
is specially adapted to using in drills for
Turnips. The cheapness and facility of
procuring this wonderful renovator of the
soil ought to make it one of the first objects
of tho farmer (who desires to improve his
land) to obtain it. Nothing in tho way of a
fertilizer or renovator has been found equal
to it, as proved by the increased yield of
crops and permanent improvement of the
soil at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure. We are prepared to furnish PURE
OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity
at $lO por ton of 2,000 pounds, free of cart
age, on cars in Port lioyai, S. C.
We also liuve a Compound for Prevent

any opening and picking arrangement 1 have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staplo is not injured by pver beating, and it leaves the picker Without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
