A MAY SONG.
A little while my love and I,
*Before the mowing of the boy,
Twined daisy-wreaths and cowslip-balls.
And carolled glees nnd madrigals,
Before the hay, beneath the May,
My love (who loved me then) and I.
For long years now my love and I
Tread severed paths to varied ends ;
We sometimes meet, and sometimes say
The trivial things of every day,
And meet as comrades, meet as friends,
My love (who loved me once) and I.
But never more my love and I
Will wander forth, as once, together,
Or sing the songs we used to sing
In Spring-time, in the cloudless weather ;
Some chord is mote that used to ring
Some word forgot we used to say
Amongst the May, before the bay,
My love (who loves me not) and I.

Paul H. I lay ne.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA FOIT.
Pan I H. Havne entered the College of
Charleston in 1847 at the age of 16. He
proved himself a master of elocution and
composition, easily surpassing his fellows in
both branches. The Hayne family are born
oiators, and Paul might, perhaps, have
equaled his nncle’s reputation in that par
tioular had his life been a public one. and
had his voice been stronger. In his student
days his manner as a public speaker was
graceful, his gestures were fit, and bis per
sonal presence before his audience was of
that winning quality which is eometiroea
called magnetic Ilis voice is soft and
musical, and whi'e it lacks sufficient power
to fill a large room, its effi cts are manifest,
marked as it is by both emphasis and sym
pathy.
When eight years of ago, his uncle, the
famous Governor, taught him to shoot ; and
from that time he has always had n hearty
liking for field sports, accounting it by no
mrnns his feeblest power that, on a return
from the field, he can show at lenst as manv
trophies as the majority of skillful huntsmi*-
Of course there came ivitb this de , ’- ; ' l,on *°
the field an accompanying f° r horse
back riding. One borae of his was
a handsome gr**/. whose name ol “Loyal
fitly dec<"-' w <i the faithful nntiiip wh : ch the
hor'-c and dog, aior.e of oiir domestic pets
and servants, seem to possess. “Loyal”
would ill brook any attempt of a stranger to
mount the saddle; but to his master he was
always gentle, eating out of his band and
following him about the like a dog.
Hayne graduated at the college of
Charleston in 1850. and soon after studied
law and was admitted to the bar, though he
never practiced. As to Longfellow. Lowell
and Bryant, literature seemed fairer lhan
law, and whiffs from Parrassns persistently
blew through therffice window. At that
time Mr Hayne’s fortune was such that he
was not compelled to “work for a liv : ng.”
so that he was enabled to write poems with
out thoughts of the butcher and the buj<er.
In 1852, the year after he attained his
majority, the. young poet was married to
Mary Middleton Michel, of Charleston, only
daughtor of William Michel. Her own
descent is worthy of remembrance, her futher
having been, when bnt 18 years of age, a
surgeon in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Dr. Michel was woundrd at the battle of
Leipsic, and received a gold medal at the
bands of the late Emperor Napoleon the
Third. Miss Michel’s mother was a descend
ant of the Frasers of Scotland.
In 1861, when hostilities broke out be
tween the North and the .South, Hayne es
poused the Southern cause, following whither
he was hd by conviction and feeling, by
personal friendship and loral attachment, and
by all the inherited political tendencies of
the family blood. His health was not rugged,
but he was assigned early in 1861 to a po
sition on the staff of Gov. Pickens, of South
Carolina. Mp, however, was compelled to
give up his military ambition, and for the
next few years wrote almost constantly in
support of wliat was so soon to become the
“Lost Cause.” His r.unierons war lyrics
bore such titles as these : “The Kentucky
Partisan,” “\fy Motherland,” “The Substi
tute,” “The Baitle of Charleston Harbor,”
•‘Stonewall Jackson,” “The Little White
Glove,” “Our Martyr,” nod “Beyond the
Potomac.” The last named was singled out
for praise by Dr. Oliver Wendell Homes, in
a lecture on the poetry of the war.
The close of the struggle found Hayne
poor and sick, bnt not utterly disheartened.
His beautiful borne in Charleston was burn
ed jost before the victorious Northern army
took possession of the city by the bursting
of a bomb-shell; and the next year the poet
removed with his wife, boj and mother, to a
HAMPTON, GEORGIA, MAY 2, 1879.
secluded spot on the Georgia Railroad, a
few miles nut of the city of Augusta, Geor
gia. Hce he has since made his home.
“Copse 1141" is the pnme of the home which
the poet lias occupied for the paßt ’2 years;
nnd, certainly, the litlle house shows that
romance has not yet died ent of the world,
and that all the poets do not house them
selves in brick walls or brown-stone fronts.
Mr. Hayne’s enttnge, made of unseasoned
lumber nnd neatly whitewashed, stands on
the crest of a hill in the midst of 18 acres of
pine lands, utterly uncultivated and affording
the solemnity and seclusion which nnture
alone can give. Many of Havne’* poems
shows the influence of the Southern scenery
at hi« Ypry door. The interior of the eottnge
is cheery ; for it has been patiently decorat
ed in a fashion at once artistic and homelike
by the hand of Mrs. Hayne. The walls
were so uninviting that she determined to
paper them with engravings, carefully se
lected from the current periodicals of the
day. The room io which Mr. Hayne works,
us now adorm-d, is fairly entitled to be de
scribed bv that most aristocratic of adjec
tives, unique. Pictures of eminent men,
views of noted places, and scenes of public
interest are so arranged as to leave no break
on the walls. The mantel and doors, even,
are coveied with pietnres, seme of them
framed in paper trimmings, cut from the
journals of fashion.
Mr. flayne’s library consists of some two
thousand volumes, partly saved from his
original valuable collection of books, but ac
cumulated for the most part of his labors ns
a book reviewer. His desk, at which he
always stands while writing, is made out of
two ends of the work-bench used in building
the cottoge. Mrs. Hayne has contrived to
transform it into an antique bit of furniture.
The little book-eases near by are made of
boxes, partly covered wiib pictures like the
walls of the room.
In person, Hayne is of slight figure nnd
medium height, having piercing eyes, full
lips arid a dark complexion. In manner he
is inclined to be calm and reserved. All his
lift* he has been in somewhat feeble hrnlth,

works assidously, even to the indulgence < f
that habit of enthusiastic poets—getting up
at night to capture a fleeting idea.
Wonderful Pedestrian Feats.
Lazy as we arc wont to consider the
Orientals, many of the “matches agaiost
time” achieved by them may bear compari
son with the best of those now pending
among onrselves. An Arab donkey boy will
go at a rin all the way from Gairo to the
Pyramids and back again, without any visi

who appear barely able to carry a hand-bag,
will lake a heavy palanquin, containing an
officer and all his belongings, over the ground
at a smart trot for hours together. Even
more marvellous are the achievements of the
Persian shatirs (professional couriers,) who,
trained from their very childhood to feats of
strength nnd activity, daily accomplish dis
tances bordering upon the incredible. Not
many years ago one of these men reached
Teheran two hours before his appointed
time, having covered an immense tract of
very difficult country in fourteen hours of
almost incessant running ; hut his chief, so
far from praising him, simply remarked :
“Gould you cot have done it in twelve?”
and m bis return journey the indomitable
man actually did so. The occupation is a
dangerous one, not only from the extraordi
nary exertions which it demands, but al«o
from the fact that the runners being so
tightly girded that a fall or even a stumble
would be certain death. Persian chroniclers
relate that a certain shah once promised
his daughter to any man who woald keep
up with his chariot all the way from Teheran
to Ispahan A celebrated shatir undertook
the task, ard held out" till the gate of Ispahan
was full in view, when the shah, alarmed at
the prospect ol having to make good his rash
promise, let fall bis whip. The runner
knowing that it would cost him his life to
stoop, contrived to pick it up with his feet.
The treacherous monarch then dropped his
ring, then the sbatir, seeing that his fa*e was
spaled, exclaimed reproachfully : “Oh 1
King, you have broken your faith, but I am
true to mine 1” picked up the ring and fell
dead on the spot —New York Ttme%.

Mexican Women.

Chemise, with light, open jacket nnd n-richty
embroidered or spangled petticoat of some
soft, light colored cloth, often blue nr scar
let, seems to be the unvarying costume.
M lien riding they are generally seated on a
clumsy, box-like side-saddle, with their feet
on the right side of the horse, exactly the
reverse of the attitude to which we are nc
cus'"mrd, and which presents anything bnt
ft graceful appearance. In the country they
are said often to ride with a foot on eaeh
side, though that refreshing spectacle has not
yet. crossed my range of vision. It is not
uncommon, however, to nee a pnymna mount
ed on the same horse before her esvabero,
who, seated behind h's fair one, supports her
by an arm thrown round her waist—n fash
ion which, if introduced with n*. would tend
greatly to increase the healthful habit of
equestrian exercise. As the women here
wear neither hat or bonnet, the cavaliero,
as a mark of respect and attention, places
his hat upon her head, and supplies its plncfc
on his own with a handkerchief—it practice
which, if introduced with us, would speedily
insure n return to pedestrian ism.

Upon another and more pleasant type of the
motley Mexican population. Advancing
toward the stand I was just quitting came
the swaying figure of a young girl, her rehezo
open, and her long wavy hair eseaping^n
plaits from beneath it ; her complexion of n
slight umber tint ; hpr bare brown shoulders
rising above n chemise of snow-white lawn,
elaborately embroidered, with short sleeves
Iringed with laee ; her swelling bust clearly
defined beneath the transparent fabric;
around the slender wnist, which hud never
been deformed by stnv or corset, a tincture
of crimson silk crepe, from which three short
petiicoats fell in graceful folds over her
pliant hips, with a skirt, laee-bordered, and

you from under the folds of the rebnzo that

After (lie Funeral.
It was just after the funeral. The bereaved
and subdued widow enveloped in millinery
gloom was seated in the sitting-room wiih a
few sympathizing friends. There was that
cot strained look, so peculiar to the occasion,
observed on every countenance. The widow
sighed.
“How do you feel, my dear,” observed her
sister.
‘ Oh, I don’t know,” said the poor woman,
with difficulty re-straining her tears. “But 1
hope everything passed off well.”
“Indeed, it did,” said all the ladies.
“It was as large and respectable a funeral
as I have seen this winter,” said the sister,
looking around upon the others.
“Yes, it was,” said the lady from 'he next
door. “I wa* saying to Mrs. Slocum, only
ten minutes ago, that the attendance couldn't
have been better—thr bad going consid
ered. ”
“Did you see the Taylors?” asked the
widow, faintly, looking at her sister. “They
go so rarely to funerals that 1 was quite sur
prised to see them here.”
“Oh, yes, the Taylors were all here,” said
the sympathizing sister. “As you say, they
go but little ; they are so exclusive.”
“I thought I saw the Curtises also,” sug
gested the bereaved woman, droopinglv.
“Oh, yes,” chimed in several. “Trey came
in their owo carriage, too,” said the sister,
animatedly. “And there were the Randall*,
and thp Vju? R<-nsalenr« Mrs. Van Rpoaa.

And Mrs. Randall wore a very heavy black

“I thought I saw them, bnt 1 wasn’t sure.
They were here, then, were- they?"
“Y es, indeed,” said they all again, and the
lady who lived across thp way observed.—
“The Colonel was very sociable, and in
quired most kindly about you, and the sick

“I thinn some of the people in the neigh
borhoi d must have been surprised to see so
many of the uptown people here,” suggested
the rffiicted woman, trying to look hopeful.
“You may be quite sure of that,” asserted
the sister. “I could see that plain enough

Fashions for Men.
It having been announced that several
important changes were to he made by fa«h
ion in the orthodox evening suits for gentle
men. the fashionable world has been tiptoe
ing around in breathless expectation. By n |
fortuitous stroke the Time * has been let into
the secret, and gives the main points in the
change as follows :
Swallow-tail coats are no longer cut bias
on the Ini's The three seams down the back
are low gilder-fluked with » cold pressed

two buttons. The facings are preferably of

usually in number and plaoe with the hutton

gloves be earri'd in the left hand tail pocket
The pantaloans are but little altered.

son. 'I he pistol pocket is to he liner! with
buckskin in Iront and sheet iron behind, to
prevent accidents. They are cut bias in the
rear to harmonize with the coat tails. Sus
pender buttons are made of horn or
lacquered steel, with four holes in the centre,
emblazoned with green thread. The buckle
and elc.sp behind will not be altered much
from the designs at present used.
The vest is made of the same material as
the coat, and lined with green ba ! Z'\ It will
have four pockets—one lor the wa’eh. one
for the pencil, one for the poker pack ami
chips, and a fourth for cloves and burnt
coflee. The buckle behind will be of burn
ished steel, with two prongs.
The white necktie should tie white, cut en
train , and with a Grecian bow pinned at the
back.
Collar buttons will be worn much as
usual. Black pins ure rapidly going out of
fashion.
Ramps arc no longer in style when worn
with patches on the toes and particolored
socks. Socks are now furnished with silk
clocks—those of the grandfather style being
most sought after.
The shirt front should be of laundried
linen or paper, as white as possible.
Standing collars ure now worn standing,
and turnovers in the flip flap style, prevalent
six year 9 ago.
The hair should be parted in the middle,
soaped in two small lumbrequins over each
eyebrow, scrufbd up q, la. Pompadour on the
sides, and rnmshockled at the back. Musk

The Largest Island.
Immediately nortli of Australia, and sep
arated from it at Torres Straits by less than
a hundred miles of sea. is the largest Island
on the glob*—New Guinea, a conqtry ot
surpassing interest, whether as regards its
natural productions or i’s human inhabi
tants, but which remains to this day less
known than any accessible portion of tho
earth V surface. Within the last few years
considerable attention has been attracted
toward it by surveys which have completed
our knowledge of its on’line and dimensions,
by the set'lement of English missionaries on
Its southern coasts, by tl.e exploration of
several European naturalists, and bv the
visits of Australian miners attracted by the
alleged di-covery of gold in the sands of its
rivers. From these various sources there
has resulted a somewhat sudden increase irt
our siill scanty knowledge of this hitherto
unknown land. It has hitherto been the
custom of geographers to gi\e thp pnlm to
Borneo as the largest island in the world,
but this is decidedly an error. A careful
estimate, founded on the most recent maps,
shows that New Guinea is considerably the
larger, and must for the future be accorded
the first place. In Rliape this island differs
considerably from Borneo, being irregular
nnd much extruded in a north northwest nod
south-southeast direction, so that its greatest
length is a little short of 1 500 miles, a dis
tance as great ns the whole width of Aus
tialia from Adelaide to Port Darwin, or of
Europe from London to Constantinople. lie
greatest width is 410 miles; and, omitting
the great peninsulas which fi rm ifr two ex
tremities, the central ina-s is about 700 miles
long, with an uvernge width of 320 miles, a
country about the size of the Austrian Em
pire, and, with the exception of the course
of one lurge river, an absolute blank upon
maps.
le, as is said, happiness consists in occu
pation of the mind, the average editor should
be moderately content. With two men
sitting on bis table readWg exchange-*, a
book agent whiapering in bis ear that he’ll
never gpt such a chance again because there
wasn’t but one made, a hoy or two hanging
enoeeaiM'hiFft/e'kirJd u.base ball item
fninting away for n translation of some ef
his peculiarly awful chirngrnpliy, a couple
o! patrons pressing him for a seven-dollar
poll for a dollar and-a-quarter advertise
ment, and ft ferocious-looking individual
sitting just outside the door with a heavy
weight cane, and a crumpled copy of the
paper in his hand waiting for a “chance to
see him alone,” the newspaper man may be
said to be jn«t in the suburbs of occupation,
and threatening to be quite busy in time.
Ie anybody ha* hard work to please most
people, it is an edi or. If he omits anything,
he is Inzv. If lie speaks of things as they

not furnish his renders with jokes, he is a
mullet. If he does, hojs a rattle-head, lack

he is a blackguard. If he does not bis pa

And still the missionary cause waxes
stronger. New Bedford has a clever young
lady worth $1 000 000, and “of a rather
pious turn of mind,” who made up her mind
that f-he would be a missionary. Could any
thing be more beautiful ! The church ac
cepted her services, and, when asked- what
fie'd of labor she bad in view, she pensively
looked down at her lavender gloves and re
plied i “I think i will go to Paris,”
A contimporart deprecates the display
nf jewel® out of doors, and says a woman
wlio has ten thousand dollars worth nf dia
monds stolen in the street deserves very
little sympathy. Editors should caution
their wives ngninst this foolish practice. If
onr wife wears ten thausand dollars worth
of diamonds in the street, and loses them,
she will have to worry along without dia
monds the remainder of her life.
