Sl)c Constitutionalist GkA..: Wednesday Morning'. Dec. 1, 1875 ltelics. 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. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. . , The Laurens Railroad is now com pleted within sight, almost, of Clinton, being about one and a half miles be yond that point. 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 broke his leg. 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 der, near Hodge’s on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, was burned by incendiaries on Monday night last, and was totally destroyed. The Governor has pardoned Zinui Mellett and Nace Amos, convicted’ be fore Judge Shaw at the October term of Court for Sumter county, of mali cious mischief and petit larceny, and sentenced to nine months in the peni tentiary.—Aiken Tribune, Nov. 27. 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. An Instance in WKicli Hahnemann's Principle, Allopathically Applied, Would Not Work. [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? To all whom it may concern: We don’t want any Centennial poetry, not even for waste paper. To all gushing young poets, we would say impartially: Damn your Centennial gush. —Columbus Journal. There, there, now—don’t cry. It is rough, but swearing won’t help It.

PENDLETON & PENNY. sopt3o-th&sa2in 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 ing Hot in Grapes for sale at SSO per ton. Give It a trial. TERMS STRICTLY CASH IN ADVANCE. Send all orders to PORT ROYAL LIME C3.. PORT ROYAL, S. C. W. D.
