Here is a sai though handsome face, in which pain has cut more lines and grooves than time, while to listen her low sweet voice is to won der how the general can endure passing of his days beyond the reach of its subtle music. She is a gentle, little heart-broken lady from whom the iron hands of ambition have clutch ed all that she found best in love. And she has not even the satisfaction," of knowing that the man who turned th sun shine of her earlier days into the bleak desolation of the present ever gives her a single thought. Still she does not condemn him. "It is not for ine to judge him." she some times says when some one ac--costs her concerning him ; "we loved each other once ! Some day," she usually adds, "he will need my love again. I do not wish to be divorced from him, because I want to retain the rieht to care for him when all the world forsake him when, save his wife, he has no friend.' History tells us of few more beautiful characters than her. How unworthy, of her is the ro'ystering, blatant demagogue to whom she remains bo true. DUST BATHS FOB FOWLS.

AN ELEPHANT PROVIDED FOR. ilere is a song for North Caro lina, and the "time must sooner or later, be learned. Superintendent Lipscomb, of South Carolina Penitentiary has guarded and supported nearlv 900 convicts for the year, paid an old debt of 514, 000 and has a net balance of over 81,100. The entire cost has been per day 20J cents per capita. He lias raised, not withstanding high waters, o4U bales of cotton, 7,200 bushels of corn, 6,100 bushels of oate, 626 bushels of wheat, and other crops. This is business. South Carolina has not had as easy a time as her sister, but her Penitentiary is self-sus taining and Iforth Carolina has an elephant in the management of her institution. Concord Standard.
