Jerniugbam. It can't do any harm now, you know, and it may cheer her at the end." Tbe end 1 Yea, it had coma to tbat now. Only; twelve months more, and Maxie Jemingfiatn waa rin t enry are at rest. She wu lying in twr little white bed now, repeating the line over and over to herself, h if it comforted her somehow. The window-curtains were drawn, hnt through their lace folds the sun glimmered cheerfully, and a soft breeze stole in, bringing wafts of music and gay voices on it breath, reveling in a huge bowl of early roses which shed their perfume over the sick room, kissing the dying girl's forehead, and rumpling with a teuder touch tbe damp locks off her brow, j "Where the'weary are at rest." Yes, Mazie was very near her rest now. She did noti look very ill, though ; white and thin indeed ; bat the veil of soft, dark, wavy haii hid the sharpened omline9 of her pure, pale face, and made uer look more like uer old cutidisti sen tuau me Mazie f later days. Her eyes, too, though! sunken aud shaded by dark hoi- j lows, looked larger aud brighter than they bad ' ever done, and the warm red shawl round her shoulders east a sort of reflected glow on the small face, as she lay with clasped hands, resting (as she had begged) all alone. A little while perhaps three-quarters of an hour, and there was a sound of foot steps dri the stairs, a murmur of hushed voices an the passage ; and Mazie started and raised her head. Then the door opeaedVand Mrs. Jerniugham said geu tly : ! ' "Captain Travers is here, Mazie. Shall he come in I" She nodded her head, for her lips were very dry; but.

The New York Herald in its issue of the I7ih, reads another curtain lecture to the people of the South, about how to 'trust tbe uegro." 1 lie Herald takes tor 1 its text the lata Hambu,g(S. C) distar- bance, where on the 4th of July, a negro company was parading when two young white men attempted to pass the street, They were obstructed, insulted aud de- lained during the night. Gen Butler was employed by the young men to prose- cute the Capt. of the company. Doc Adam,, before Prince Rivers a colored Justice, for obstructing the public bigb- " 1 , 4 0 r o way. Adams refused to obey tbe sum- . ta Km mnt 1.5a mpn mons to appear at trial, dui got ins men under arms and stood out in defiance, Rivers sought a conference with Adaas and urged him to deliver up the arms of his company. This -he refused to do, and entrenched his company iu a large .

The musket firing lasted two hours, and several negroes and one white man were killed. The Herald waits to see if the respec table white people ef South Carolina will do their plain duty iu this matter, that the guilty parties are caught, tried and hauged. The Herald may rest assured that these disturbances are deeply de plored by all our people, and are cer tainly not tbe result of any premeditated plot or "hatred of the regroes.' In South Caroluia thev are wor the out growth of bad government than of anyN thing else, but, generally they are the re sult of fighting whiskey, and the bad el ements of society to be found in every community. All good citixeus deprecate such conflicts, aud the Ueuiocratic press of the South is always ready and ever fierce iu denouncing the ring-leaders. Wheu we read about the many deeds of blood and horror in the North and West, ot tne riots in l'enusyivania una vuio, we M " . 1 I ! . J ! can well understand how much tbe better citizens of tbeBe sections deplore sucn occurrences ana so iu me oiaia. ne people of South Caroliua are no more re sponsible for the Hamburg riot, than are the people of New Jersey for the receut massacre io the city of Newark, where three ruffians killed six worthy citizens. In the South the negroes are generally more to blame than the whiles. We gave an account last week of the negro mob which rioted in Tarboro, in this State, on the 4th of July. We eta- ted that they overpowered the officers, trampled under foot the law, beat and cut down the policemen and recaptured and leleaeed prisoners arrested for breaking . . 1 r . 1 tbe peaee. The forebearance of the white eitizens alone prevented a serious conflict of races. The auimus of this negro mob was proven to be hatred of the WHHCB ana a aesire to precipitate a war L a J J T . t ot races for uadical campaign purposes. This wss the sole motive "that actuated the negroes. They swore' that no' white officer should arrest a negro peace-breaker, and 1,000 negroes formed in a turbu lent mob and overawed law and justice. Such things are calculated 1k incite mas sacre and blood-shed, aud ihe forebear ance or the law-abiding- white men of larboro alone frnstrated the attempt : of me inrooro negroes.

For llU WatcEavant JAKEY SPARKS ANITUK OH09T. by o.-e. v. Jackey Sparks is a young, man who wears box-toed boots, parts ha auburn hair in the middle, and is coaxing out a mustache, some half dozen' hairs of which are now visible with out the aid of a microscope. Tie goes to see old Mr. Dobs' daughter, who lives near the graveyard, and had been having quite a smooth time until last Wednesday night, when a little event took place which threw a damper on him. i ,jlt Keema that when heras-leaving his girl's house on the night above mentioned, he went out the back way in order to get a drink of fresh water at the pump, and while pumping he saw something white standing in the middle of the yard, which he al once took to be a ghost. Hk first impulse was to scale the . fence and make tracks from there, and he would have done so had his girl not been standing in the door. J Now was the time thought Jakey, to show his Sarah Ann that he was no coward, and painting out the white object to her, told her to hand out the "old roanV shot gun, and he'd teach ghosts how to prowl around trying toj scare folks. Sarah Ann handed out the "shooting iron," which had a couple of pretty good sized loads in. Jakey took it, and taking aim blazed awsy with oue -barrel, but the ghost never budget!. Then he banged away with the other barrel, but the glnwt still stood there. . t'Hello! what's all this about r asked old Mr. Dobs who had been aroused from bis sleep byj the ehooting, and now appeared upon the scene. j'Jakey shot a ghost," answered Sarah Ann. fCbost! thunder! sliow it lo me," exclaim ed: the "old man." " , jt was pointed out to him by both Jakey and Sarah Ana. The old man tfcen took a lamp, and while Jakey and Sarah Ann crouched on the door steps, he went up to the ghost and took a sur vey. AAer inspecting it awile, he turned to Jakey and yelled out : Makey, i say, Jakey, you akat dwt ary ghost, but rau baA-e made about two iiundred sic bale ia oae ef SarSj h mh sbget sleeved garments."
