Good Hit.

The Cincinnati Times opens richly in the iole-tell-
ing line. The following anecdote Of a Skin-aint is
not badly done:
GA certain tight-iSted old codger of this city hap
pened in at Fosters Philosophical Instrument Man
uiactory, few weeks since, where he was shown the
Lords Prayer engraved in a space about the size OF
a five cent piece, with which he was very much
pleased. Returning home, he related the circum-
stance to his family, and prodigal Cd son coming
into the sitting-room, the following ensued
"My son would you suppose the Lords Prayer
could be engraved in space larger than the area
of half-dime?'
"Well-yes, father, if halfdime is as large in
every bodys eye as il is in yours, think there would
be no difficulty in putting il about four times.''

SENSIBLE CONcLUsIoN.-A topper some time

the western part of State where it is unlawful to
sell liquor, and called for something to drink

RETIREMENT Mn. CoBB.-The following
nouncement from the Southern Banner, published at
Athens, Ga, will be read with regret.

Of Hon. Howell Cobb, to retire from the service of his
constituents in the Congress OF the United States and
expressed their at the consequent loss the Ma
tional Councils it may not be inappropriate for
state in relation to this subject that Mr. Cobb for sew
era months past had formed and expressed determn-
alton decline returning TO his in the House. after
the expiration Of his term of service the 4th day Of
March. Since his late to this place, learn
that he adheres that determination. The sixth Con-
gressonaI district of Georgia must therefore, seek OUT
for the future, another Representative.
sIt is needless for say that the able and distn-
gushed Speaker of the House Of Representatives leaves
his position in the public service full Of honors, and
deeply rooted in the confidence Of his Constituents He
could be returned again from his district by

Public opinion appears to have designated him the
occupant of the Executive chair Of this State and
we have not the least doubt that he will be elected, if
brought before the people, by an immense majority"

OR, THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE TICKET.
o. r. Dodge, the violinist, who paid 1925 for the
first choice of seat at Jenny Limbs Boston concert
appears to be man Of infinite wit; and the New
York Spirit Of the Times tells laughable story Of
his taking in three Mississippi gamblers years
ago. Dodge came aboard he boat, pretending TO be
half wifted Yankee rustic, whereupon the confede
rates resolved 20 fleece him; and accordingly upon
some circumlocution, they induced him TO play at
game called Changing Jacks The Spirit Of The
Times thus gives the story denouement, which is all
fer which we have room

BY MRS. II. J. LEWIS.
Flowers adown the mountains side
Flowers in cool and shady dells,
Flowers upon the running tide,
Flowers upon the meadows wide,
Flowers upon the upland sweLs.
Flowers adorn the bridal train,
Flowers upon the altar rest,
Or with gentle hands are lain
On the couch Of mortal pain,
Where their ministry is blest.
Flowers we scatter DER the dead,
Giving all of light we may
To the glooms around US spread
When the spirit homeward sped,
Leaving nought but lifeless clay.
Plant we flowers above the dead.
Where the Summer wind and rain
Can their genial influence shed
On the cold and narrow bed,
Where the weary ne'er complain.
Flowers, the very smiles Of God,
Almost as the sunlight freel
Bloom they where no foot hath troll
With them, lie hath decked the sod
Nor denied them TO the seal
For the flowers let JOY ful praise
Crown the Summers golden prime
In the oity's dusty ways,
In the woodlands twilight haze,
Still proleng the grateful chime.

strange and horrible. 1t is said that he and his wife had
lived very unhapply together for time and yes

prompter laid aside her tumbler and coolly her
cupboard and helped herself pleasanter and less
dangerous beverage. Such said to be facts,

The Hoe and the Pen,

We are often instructed by the fresh
and healthful spirit, as well as amused by
the naicete of the editorials Of some Of our
Western contemporaries. Take the annex
ed as an example, from the Wisconsin Mer-
curry:
1--WE have been gardening this week,
and, having no breath left to blow the bel
lows of aspiring politicians, have substitu-
ted the scissors for the pen. If those edi-
tors who are hurting their big words of
defiance and reproach at each other, would
just take the "shovel and the hoe" and go
out into the golden sunlight and the pure
air of heaven, we think they would forget
their angry feelings, and possibly acknowl-
edge that their opponents were no greater
rogues than themselves. Envy and malice
can never exist in the presence Of bursting
buds and springing grass, and no man can
SOW his seeds in anger, because the implied
trust in the bounty and care of Providence
OF the act itself precludes any such wick
ed emotions. Whit the songs of the birds,
cheerfulness, and may be the dim-remcm-
bered hopes and aspirations of our now
distant childhood, come thronging back up
on our hackneyed hearts; and, if the fresh
ness and luxury oftbese new feelings, thus
aroused, moisten the eye, we need not be
ashamed. Go out, then, we sweltering
denizens Of grim and cobwebbed offices,
into Gods glorious sunlight. that your
sluggish blood may be quickened in its
flow, and your hearts refreshed by a com
munion with nature; if you blister your
hand and get a kink in your back by a
few hours Of manual labor so much the
better for you. We have set the example,
and can speak advisedly."

1888, and died June Goth. 1851 In early life, she
was regiousy impressed, prufcssed faith in Christ
and attached herself to the Methodist Episcopal
Church. where she fully evinced the reality of her
profession. She was remarkably modest and I'M
assuming in her manners. and possessed. in en-
inent degree, meeknsss and humility. She had
many redeeming qualities which shone in the various
relations IN life. Much might be safely said in her
praise, but forbear, believing it would only be
repetition of that which has been indelibly written
on the memory of those who knew her, and Thought
to be exaggeration by those who knew her not. Her
health was feeble for several years. bnt for the last
SIX or eight months she was closely confined and
suffered greatly nj times The character Of her dis

The Domestic Trade

The United States are becoming little
world almost complete within itself. Our
great diversity of climate and soil. and our
rich mineral resources, supply nearly eve
ry want. The rapid increase Of our man
ufactures will soon render us independent
of foreign supplies. 1t is most remark
able fact that our largest importations Of
British goods were previous to the embar-
goi 1S0s, when our population was only
one-fourth of what it is now, and our con-
sumption Of manufactured articles proba-
bly, one-twelfth or less. This speaks loud
ly for our increase of manufacturing abili-
ty. Our commerce is now mainly not
with foreign countries, but between the
States. Between the North and the South
between the Atlantic States end the
Weston the great Mississippi and its
branches, and on the great lakes-and,
what is becoming much more than these,
on our numerous railroads branching out
in every direction, our domestic trade is
immense. General Packer, of the Penn
sylvania Senate, in speech recently de-
livered before that body, gives the value
