Dear when I look Into thiDe eyes and se*.
Shining through them, thy eouI its hallowed

Gleaming like Heayen'6 grand sunbeams,

1 have no words to tell my loye for thee.
So innocent thy heart, so free from wrong!
And, dear, tbe words that go to make Jife’i

Are psin, sin and remorse! How wi!t thou
bear
Life’s struggles, disappointments and de

So innocent thy heart, so free from wroDg!
Hay Heaven shield thee from the chilling

Love. I a an power less. Within the oast
Lie secrets hidden that ’twixt thee and me
Make a gulf awesome as eternity.
May Heaven shield thee from life’s chilling
blast.
Though I’ve no words to tell my love for thee
And though my wishes ne’er fu.filled maybe,
Whene’er I lock into thy lovely eyes
God’s maser piece in thee I recognize.
Though I’ve lo worcs to tell n y love for thee

UNCASTER, S. C.
For tbe Sunny South.
DkaeMb. Aep: We All ir joy your let
ten, for they are Bore to show up tbe
sunny side of somewhere before we finish
reading them. How like the things
which happen at hand, and then before
yon are done yon have had your say
abont almost everything which has hap*
penid on tbia side of tbe ocean. It brings
to mind many things which have oc
curred in our own vicinity, and then it
kings out the natures of people, the
good as well is tbe barm they have
done.
Ur. Arp, when I bear yon are talking
abont Mrs. Arp and the chlidien, what
the says, and what they go, then I half
way think we most be kin. One of tbe
ricbeet things we t ave had at onr house
waa the purchase of a clock. By some
means onr timepieces have been watches
for many years, nntil finally a clock was
brought home; it proved to be a curiosity
to the little folks, first It chime d, one,
two, three, fenr; they all l6ft their play,
and came running up in front of tbe
mantel; that was not near enough, so
they bronght abont J-j dizen chairs op,
they climbed; when will it strike again!
they said, then they counted the figures,
and all wanted to learn t he time at once,
finally they got tired waiting for it to
strike ano went off to play. Then when
It began to strike tne hour of five in
they trooped again with the same scene
repeated, only one little fellow ran back
to tbe dining room for his high chair.
Evei y t ime tne striking began tney would
count the strobes, ana tne baby would
laugh so bard sbe could scarcely count,
always edoing sn extra stroke because
she ctd not wt nt the clock to stop.
There is an immense amount of fan to
be gleaned from children, and it is to be
enjoyed from the fact that we know that
it is pare, unadulterated fun. If it were
not for the children, Mr. Arp, I believe
I would bave given up long ago, for tbe
times are hard and money ia scarce, and
It seems tbat every hard-earned dollar
goes in to swell tbe coffers of tbe mer
chants, while tbe poor farmers, wbo
support tbe universe, always bave to
take the last nnbbin or come out at the
little end of tbe born.
I thought that the Alliance was going
to work wonders bere at one time, but
the merchants have done all they couid
to break tbe farmers up before tne Alli
ance came.
Lancaster is to be pitied, snrely. When
I knew her as she used to be there was
not a more genteel, retired little village
in South Carolina, and there were only
one or two confirmed drunkards in tne
community and they were pointed at
with scorn. Even tbe children would
ran to tne palings to loos as they stag
gered on their way, and could call them
ail by name, but Lancaster grew ont of
herrnral simplicity; railroacs came, two
of them, bringing such a boom we knew
tbat she bad out grown ber petticoats
and we began to tmnk tbat sbe was des
tined to be a full fl.dged city. But our
anticipations are not always leai.zsd,
for -'The best lata piaus of mice and men
gang aft agla.”
Tue boom was immense for a little
time. R al estate went up, houses were
bnllt, stores were opened, and whatever
comd be Gene by energetic citizens was
carried out as lar as uieir ability went.
Bat somelbiiig would not wore:. By
some means or other tbe running gear
got all tangled up and tbe public spirit
tel flat ano nothing would work.
They seia tne railroad killed car little
towD, out 1 don t bc-deve It did alt of tbe
mischief, for 1 remembtr there was a
great talk sb-at a graded school, but
then tbe bu-imts men, auu some'calt
them prominent men, all voted against
it because they were disinterested. And
the poor lit-le factory, at one time amov
ing encouragement to all of us, ia about
to be one oi t be things or tne past, for a
big slice is to come out of it for some
body s benefit, and public spiiit was Just
nowbere when it was discussed. Instan
ces could be enumerated without num
ber of tuts lac t of public spirit, but it is
of no use. Lancaster is dead, tney say.
In 1SS9 there was almost a complete loss
of crops and tbe prostration which fol-
loweu was almost a facsimile of the days
after Gen. Sherman bad devastated our
fair land by turning his hordes of ratn-
less vai dels lcose upon U. i tell you,
Kr. Arp, there arc come Instances upon
rcccid almost beyond the limits 01 Un
man ken One po. r old country lady made
nothing, and there was only a peck o(
corn left to her, and a cat; tbe corn was
appropriated ahdttecut oaggedforthe
lien. Some took tbe last ear of corn,
tbe foddsr, the hay, tbe cotton seed and
in fact eveiyrbirg tbe farmers bad, and
now they wonder what is tbe matter
with LaLcanteil Ah, aiadanr can any
one woncer longer when tbey witness
tbe stock brought in for foreclosures of
liens, and put op tbe first sale oay and
sold for a song. I wonder f anybody
can sty what is tbe matter with our
country, if they consider all of these
things. 1 bave beard tbe trite old ad&ge
since days long gone, tbat “every nog
has lte day,’ 7 it may be tbat Lai caster
will yet bave beis. Tbe Alliance may
wield her power, and poor farmers to
long ban brczled will nave tbeir eyes
opened at last, now nebody spends any
money fer nor unit ss seif is Interested,
and there it a gauge on the pocket-book
for fear Laterster will be bencfitied.
There tie tome mighty good people
here, people wbo can cate tbeir families
back to ate stry ol Revolutionary fame
and tome can claim the blood t f Hugue
nots, and good o d Scotch irlsh blood in
tbeir veins, but tiny bave lost ail of their

many live to see these very children ele

all through hjving been brought up by
molbeis, the best instincts of whose na
tures were aroused durirg tbeir most
impressionable periods.
Mr. Arp, do yon see we are in a meat
are experiencing pretty much the same
scenes. Snrely there must be a remedy
for trials so evident to everybody. I
hops the day Is cot far distant when onr
country will be able to rise above these
trials of ii'e, atd Lancaster will be able
to reergnize her own as well. Tne new
South is capable of too much to be lag
ging and forgetful of the bright prospects
in store for h*r. Good-bye Mr. Arp,
with my kindest regards for Mrs. Arp
and the children, I am
Votbr Ami.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom onr Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C , March 4,1891.
As that remorseless individual, Father
Time, who so often interferes with man’s
prr jsets, touched the button that turned
on the current which electrocuted the
Fifty first Congress, strongly sensitive
and sympathetic people wbo happened
to be in the vast crowd of interested,
most of them personally interested, men
and women that thronged the gsl’erles
and corridors of the Capitol building
today, became aware of a curious series
of vibrations In the atmosphere, which
if translated Into sonnds intelligible to
tbe ordinary ear would have been not
nnlike the cheers of a victorious army
and the groans of tbe defeated, bat the
groans wonld have largely predominated,
It was an easy matter to select the
man whose “little bill” had become
law, either by itself or as an amendment
to one of the regular appropriation
bill?; just as easy as picking ont the
winners in a crowd returning from a
horse race, and everybody knows how
easy it is to do that. To select the dis
appointed ones was not such any easy
task as many of them have been
“through the mill” so often tbat they
carry faces as impertnrable as those of
professional gamblers, bnt they were
there in great numbers, and it is no ex
aggeration to say that many contem
plated European and fashionable sum
mer resort jaunts have been spoiled by
the legislation or the last forty-eight
boors, while a few that have been only
exist 1 ng in dim and hazy outlines have
materialized from the same canse.
The bells now tolling, in imagination,
for ths deceased, t ring sad news to a
considerable portion of Washington so
ciety. Only a woman whose husband
has once been more or less prominent in
Congress can realize the terrtblt social
precipice over which she is rudely
poshed the moment the dreaded “ex” is
prefixed to her husband’s name. A
landsome, well educated woman, calcu
lated to adorn the most select sooial
gatherirg, who had passed through the
ordeal herself, ones said to me:
“I would ask no severer punishment for
my worst enemy than give her a few years
in Washington society as the wife of a
prominent Congressman or other official
and then to compel her to live bere one
season after her husband was relegated
to private life; to a woman of brains it
is nnspeakable torture.”
Never before has there been snch a
delnge of “ex’s” at tbe close of a Con
gress, and not a few of them are men of
prominence. Some of them have been
provided with executive appointments,
others will have tbe good sense to return
to their respective States and go ahead
with their priv te affairs juBt as they did
before coming to Congress, but judging
from the past associations of a number
of them, tbe lobby—or as that mysteri
ous body prefers calling itself—“the pro
moters of legislation,” will be largely
recruited from their ranks.

After the inner man hrd been abun

Our Circle.—A potent means of social,

After the toasts were concluded, all,
with kindest remembrance of one of the
most delightful and pleasant of occa
sions, departed homeward, treasuring
np in their minds grateful recollections
of ail those who had so kindly assisted
in contributing so greatly to their pleas
ures. Four scribe’s enjoyment, how
ever, did not there terminate, for with
true Southern gallantry his services
were proffered to the disposal of the fair
and gentle ones; and witn one nand fall
of beantifal fragrant flowers and tt e
other grasping a well filled plate of the
dainties oi the feast, he eecorted one of
the fairest, most oharmlng and delight-

WOMENS TRIENNIAL COUNCIL.
YORKVILLE, S. C.
Editor Sunny South:
Then through the town so dull ani listless
Kang the thrilling cry “Chautauqua!”
Roused the men to search lor knowledge!
Men and women, though once at college,
Strove as they ne’er nad striven before,
In art, science, and in classic lore.
As mentioned some time ago in these
columns, the White Rose Chantanqna
Literary and Scientific Circle, cf York-
ville, S. C., for the purpose of inspiring
generous rivalry between its members,
and in order that greater benefits mignt
result from its meetings, divided itself
into two sides, the Herd's and the
Domi’s, and adopted a system of mark
ing with the understanding that tbe do
feated side at the expiralion of three
months was to entertain the victors.
This contest terminated on Monday the
231 alt., re salting In favor of the Hemis,
bo were declared vlctorions by a score
of 273 to 365
The points scored were exceedingly
close during the last month of the con
test, and on the night cf the last, meet
ing there was only cne point difference
between the two classes.
How they each vied with the other.
With their lessons and other duties,
Striving who could outdo the others
And their cries were “Onward, upward!
Give us knowledge, knowledge, knowledge!”
The following composed the two class
es: Hetuis—Mlssee Fannie Miller. Le s'.e
Witherspoon, Claude Moore, Daisy Gist,
Ella Davidson, Emmie Hans.han. Min
nie Wilson and Dr. W. W. White.
Demis—Misses Jeanette Davidson, An
nie Wallace, Maggie G st, Cora Kuyken-
dal, Rev. T. R English, and Messrs J.
S. Brice, T. F. McDow and Frank Hart.
As a fitting close to the contest, and
for tbe pnrpi se of encouraging and fos
tering intellectual development. Prof.
W. Spencer Currell, of Divldson College,
was invited to give a lecture to the Cir
cle and Invited guests in the court house,
on Longfellow, on Longfellow day. in
vitiations were Issued to all who it was
supposed wonld er joy the lecture, and
the result was a well-filled bouse of one
of the most appreciative audiences ever
assembled.
Prof. Currell ably and eloquently in
troduced his subject, and for one hoar
and a half, by his masterly erudition en
chained his andleuce’s attention. At
the close of the lecture those invited
were courteously dismissed, while the
circle quietly adjourned to one of the
jury rooms, wlitre a banquet of tbe
choicest, and. tbe latest of the land
await- d them.
The room cnosen for the bauqaeting
hall had been beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers, and no stone
hrd been left nntnrned to make the af
fair as truly characteristic of Longfe.low
as was possible. Inotavions on the naif
shell, beautiful little souvenirs consist
ing of oyster shells arttstcally painted
and Inscribed with a select quotation
from Longfellow’s poems, were ingen
iously gotten op and elicited much ad
miration.

who played truant daring the prepare
tion for tbe bar qnot—“learn the joy that
comes from labor.” Oae to one of tire
most talented end gifted members—“Tne
thought of criticism lies only in ths

Which Was Lately Convened at Wash
ington, D. C.
Editor Sunny South: In Washing
ton daring the last week we have had
conventions and meetings galore. The
Triennial Council of Women was the
most significant gathering of ladies,
working in the oanse of humanity, which
we have seen since the International
Congress.
The Woman’s Connell met in AlbangL’a
opera house, presided over by Miss Fran
cis Willard, who was ably assisted by
Miss Susan B. Anthony and her ool
leagues of brainy, noble women.
Tnere were thirty-five or more, Wo
man’s Associations here represented, and
no one can form an idia, unless a wit
ness, of the work, the purpose, the re
sults of these labors for hnmanity. I
cannot give all the names of the organi
zations, nor the gist even of the splendid
addresses and papers of the speakers,
tbat wonld require your entire jinrnai
nearly; but must content myseif witn
noting a number, in the emharratsmeac
of ricnes. No one surely could Burpass
Miss Busan AnthoDy in presiding cr
handling an audience, and very few
couid equal Mias Willard. There is a
metnoQ, a manner, voice, and style, pos
sessed oy Miss Anthony which, combined
with ber honest, profound earnestness,
captures the people. Unfortunately, the
arrangement- for members of the press,
were so insufficient, 1, as one ol the corps,
lost some oi tne fine papers read, among
them, Jnlia Ward Howe’s, entitled “Tne
Relation of the Suffrage Movement to
other Modern Reforms.” Annie Nathan
Meyer, of New York, gave a substantial
adore; s, a flood of light, her theme bo
inf.; “A New Phase of Higher Education
of women in America. ’ Mrs. Potter
Palmer, President of the Lady Managers
of the Columbian Exposition, gave a
charming paper on tf a; live topic. Mary
F. Seymour, in an excellent paper, rep
resented the New York Piess Ciub.
Miss Anthony read an address from
Elizabetn Cady Stanton, who is now in
England. A Mrs. Lease from Kansas
spoke early in the week, and ber
address was something in the natnre
of a bombshell; sne was both
hissed and applauded. Last night in
his address Lloyd Garrison, greatly com
mended her. Mrs Ella Clymer, retiring
president of Sorosis of New York city,
gave a paper Wednesday evening on
“Women’s Clubs,’ in agracefnl, pleasant
style. She is a handsome, refined look
ing lady with the most expressive brown
eyes. The ladies and newspapers were
foil of praise of the beauty of Mrs.
Clymer, and Mr. Potter Palmer, but
snrely they had not looked into the love
ly, Intellectual and spiritual faces of
Annie Nathan Meyer and Mrs. Antoi
nette Wakeman of Chicago, not to have
Dumb, red these two with the most at
tractive seen in the council.
The British Woman’s Temperance As
sociation was nobly represented by Miss
Bslgaiiae of London. Sne gave the most
practical, thorough, useful, numantarlan
speech of tne entire week, in some re-
spects. She used no manuscripts, and
ber superb voice, her womanly manner,
with fine presence, instantly captured
the audience. Her facts bordered on
tie tragical. No man or woman could
near what she said and not be moved by
this great worker for humanity. Sne
sat down ac id pr>. longed and hearty ap
plause, many saying outright, “caliber
beck!” when Miss Wii!a d announced
the lady would speak on two other occa
sions in the week. Line Mari wether of
Memphis, Tenn., was another lady
speaker whose eloquent, witty s&rccsoic
fusllade kept the audience laughing
and applauding. Sbe retired amid tre
mendous applause. Her theme was “Tne
Silent Seven,” by which she meant tbe
seven classes of people deprived of right
of suffrage.
Isabella Baecher (Henry Ward) was
another happy speaker. Sne has a
unique, origins! way cf her own, that
makes her so charming to an audience
the mans gars should place her first and
last on every program, so that the
throng might be put in a fine spirit and
sent home in a rejoicing frame of mind.
When yon see the noble woman rise and
take out ber handkerchief, and twist it
aroued her hard, shrng ber shoulder,
and step lightly as if courteying, you
may know tne wit is babbling and ex
plosive!
Auothc-r great Association that mot
this week was “The Daughteis of the
American Revolution,” tnere with a aim
liar organiz ulon, “The Sons, etc.” had a
grand reunion at Norwood Institute, to
celebrate Washington’s day,the 22d Feb
ruary.
Patriotic songs were sang, theMinaett
was danced by a bevy oi girls and gents,
the latter in Continental uniform. Re
treatments and conversation, greatly
added to all the fnliness of the occasion.
Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President,
who is President of the “Daughters,”
was ably assisted by Mrs. Cabell, Gen.
Greely (andothers, who spoke ) in meet
ing the duties of the occasion.

skill in savins life ean never be known,
but a mend of mine in New York told
me that a very eminent enrgeon said to
him some years ago:
“I am responsible for Grover Cleve
land’s eection. If it had notbeen for
me he would have been deflated. That
man Bnrohard who made the speech
about* Ram. Romanism and Rebellion,”
waa abont to die from kidney disease.
He sent for me as a last resort. I cut
him open in the back and took his old
Republican kidney ont and cleaned it
and pat it back again and sewed him np,
and he got well and made that speech
that drove the Roman Catholics away
from Blaine and elected Cleveland.
Don’t you see that if 1 hed made a mis
take in my diagnosis, or a misent with
my knife, Bnrchard wonld have died and
Grover wonld have got left; eh!”
And there was that poor man Garfle d,
tbe president, whom the doctors killed.
An eminent surgeon told me that he was
probed to death. They hunted for the
ball for three days, and bored new holes
with their probes until he was lacerated
all through, and for no good. He said
that pistol balls did no harm to stay in
a man, that they became lncysted, and it
was better to let them alone than probe
for them, and that the present practice
in London and Paris was never to probe,
bnt let natnre go to work at once to heal
the wound. Garfield would probably
have lived if tbey hadent probed him,
and if he had lived Harrison wouldent
have been president, don t you seeT Bat
we can t get along without the doctors.
They sre onr comfort and onr security by
day and by night. They are oar hope
and oar trast In times of affliction and
peril. Then hurrah for the new doctors.
May they live long and prosper. It is a
long ways to the goal of their ambition,
bnt they mast have patlencs if they
wonld have patients.

THE DEAR GIRLS.
Serious Mistakes Made in Underesti
mating Their Intelligence.
There are two kindred questions abont
which there has been and still is much
controversy, and, I think, many serious
mistakes made—first, in underestimat
ing the intelligence of the girls, partlcn
larly in practical matters, in which it is
apt to be far greater than onr own; and
secondly, in belittling onr advantages
in order to conciliate their prejudices.
In many caBes these prejudices do not
exist, and even when they do the differ
ences in onr position and education are
sure to come to the front sooner or later,
and by frankly recogn zing them in the
beginning as an adva; tage we prevent
their being regarded later on as a bar
rier. The giris are snre to end oy know
ing that we kei p servants, wear evening
dresses and go to the opera; and by
plainly speaking of these things when
nec3ssarr (the necessity will be rare), as
comforts won for ns by onr husbands’ or
onr fathers’ intelligence and labor, we
make the distinction in onr ways of liv
ing more one of degree than one of
kind.
When once recogn’zsd the troth will
make onr relations with the girls of
more value than when it existed on an
ignorant or mistaken foundation.
The very leisure and knowledge we
are able to put at their disposal comes
from this difference of conditions, and it
is shirking onr r* sponsibiiity as women

pretend that on. onditions of life are

DEAFNESS CAN’T BE CURED
by lccal applications, ss they oan not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by corstitntional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an i: flamed condition of the mu
cous lining of ihe E istachian Tube. When
this tube ge.s inflamed yon have a rambling
sound or impel feet hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafcess is the resalt, and
unless the it flimmation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tier, healing will be destroyed forever; nine

The Sunny South is the old established
Family Paper of the Sooth and ought to
go weekly Into every household. It is
designed to represent every Interest of
onr section, and being non-political and
non-sectarian, it demands admission into
•very home. And to this demand it adds
•very possible inducement, as will be
•sen below.
We have prepared and here present a
standing and carefully selected list of ar
ticles, which will be given with the

sponsible enterprise in America offers
more liberal and varied premiums than
the Sunny South. In the lists may be
(band something for every taste, and no
man or woman is too poor.to accept some
one of the liberal propositions.
While tbe real merits of the paper as a
family jonrnal are generally acknowl
edged to be unsurpassed, we offer these
•xtra inducements with the hope of se
curing every one in onr whole Southland
ts a patron, and those who already take it
will confer a favor npon ns and npon
their neighbors by calling their attention
to the matter. There is no paper like it on
the Continent. It Is the only family paper
that has ever lived any length of time in
the South and it now claims the attention
and patronage of every man and woman
In Dixie as the best and most thoroughly
representative jonrnal of the Great Sooth.
The price is only |2 a year. For that
•mall amount we send the paper spark
ling with 56 long colomns of printed
matter for one whole year and along with
it we also send a handsome present
