Northern and Southern Railroads
The D0ere,see.-Agrea deal has
been said about Southern liberality,
generosity, and all that. We have
not a word to object to this, as applied
to the great body of Southern people,
but when applied to Southern corpo-
rations, and especiallyiSouthern Rail-
road Companies, we beg to enter a
protest. 1t is singular fact, that
almost any member OF the press OF
Memphis can travel from this city to
New York, over all the Railroads
North of Mason and Dixon's line.
without paying out cent for passage
money; but not a single member OF
the same press can travel over any
railroad in Tennessee without paying
his three cents Mile. 1t is true,
that the Internal Improvement Press
of this country helps to build all
railroads alike, but Of course they
render more assistance to those near
est home, and yet those nearest home
are the very ones chat only "chalk
hats" on "excursion days" Well,
we hope our Southern railroad com
pauies will improve in time.

A Word of Thine.

A word of thine-how hath it dwelt,
Like music in my heart;
A look-how oft my soul hath knelt
And worshipp'd it, apart;

In happy thoughts, or happier dreams,
Reflects but only thee,
My love, -a
Reflects but only thee. a-.l

If thee Ine'er had known?

Still beats for only thee,
My love,
Still beats for only thee!

What GLORY has Cost England.

House of Hanover and the battle o

sixty-fve years of war it cost England
an expenditure of 2,O23 millions
Ipounds sterling, and the national debt
saddled upon the country during the
the same period was more than two
Iffths that amount, there being bor-
Irowed not less than about S33 mill
ions. Of the former sum
Thirty-six millions went in the
Revolutionary warwhich brought Will
liam of Orange to the throne of
England-twenty millions were bor-
rowed and commenced the national
debt. :
Sixty-two millions in the war of the

Fifty-four millions in the "Spanish

One hundred and twelve millions in
the "Seven Years War;" from June

certainly be excused fer becoming un-

BRETHREN, YOUNG AND oLD:-Your
brother, the writer of this, has been
an editor Of a political paper; has
mingled somewhat in the politics of
his dsy-some twenty years since.
He was for time led away by de-
sire to put down this din about the
slavery question, and once only went
into know nothing affair. He saw
his error, and earnestly beseeches ev-
cry Baptist to draw off Don't med
die in the strife. Inform yourselves
so as to vote as a law-abiding man;
and for the cause Of religion, our
cause, and the freedom peculiar to
Baptists, do not molest Catholics,
other than as we are allowed to do
under the constitution.
Instruct your preachers so as to
be able to meet. all arguments, and
let us have "fair field and open fight y
the Bible being our Shield and buck
tler and sword--our weapon Of Of
fence and defence.
Baptists, be clear of even the APP
pearance Of persecution; rather lean
over the other way. Be true to your
cause. Baptist preachers are leaving
their high estate by meddling in pol
itics; they cannot do SO long. Bap-
fists, true hearted Baptists, will see
the error, and, like your brother, will
be ashamed of it. Educated against
the dogmas of the Roman Church,
the opposition increases with my

Epitaphs.

ly calling public attention to the alb
surd epitaphs in English church-yards
In addition to his own structures, thu
editor publishes the letters of two cor
respondents on the same subject
which contain aselection of epitaphs
which, to this day, disfgure the grave
yards. The following are specimens
From Dorchester:
Here lies the body Of, an honest man,
And when he died he owed nobody nothing
From Bideford, Devonshire:
The wedding day appointed was,
And wedding clothes provided,
But when the day arrive did,
She sickened and she died did.
From Ulverstone:
Here lies my wife,
Here lies she;
Hallalujah,
Hallalujee.
From Sevenoaks:
Grim death took me without warning,
was well at night and died in the morning.
From Doncaster:
Here lies brothers, by misfortunes surrounded,
One dy'd of his wounds, the other was dround-
ed.
The following is taken from the
Newcastle church-yard:
Here lies Robin Wallas
The king of Good Fellows,
Clerk of All-hallows,
And maker of bellows.
He bellows did make till the day of his death.
But he that made bellows could never make
breath.
Most epitaph writer's try to find
out the best qualities of the departed;
not so with the writer of the following,
taken from church-yard at Man
chester:
Here lies John Hill,
A man of skill,
l His age was five times ten:
He never did good,
Nor never would,
Had he lived as long again.
And yet another:
Sacred to the memory
Of Miss Martha Gwynne
Who was so very pure within,
She burst the outward shell of sin
And hatched herself cherubim.
The following curious inscription
las been copied from a gravestone in
Essex:
"Here lies the man Richard.
And Mary hi5 wife; ~ of'at
Their surname was Pritchard,
They lived without strife;
And the reason was plain
They abounded in riches,
They had no care or pain,
And his wife wore the breeches."

The Diving Wife.


You'll think of me sometimes, beloved, :
When am gone from sight,
And you can see me never more,
You'll not forget me quite?
You'll miss sometimes at twilight hour.
My low and loving tone;
Your heart will sometimes feels pang,
When beating all alone!
You'll think Of days forever goue,
And grief may wiring tear,
From eyes that have but seldom wept,
But shall not be here!
You'll come and go, and yet the smile,
That once your fond eyes met,
VIII faded be forever fled
But oh! do not forget.
When cold and lifeless is the form,
That's nestled on thy breast,
When chill and marble-Gke the lips,
That oft thine own have prest;
Oh! sometimes think of me, and come
Unto the quiet spot,
Where / shall slumber lone and still
But oh! not quite forgot!
You'll think of me when sitting side
My lone and vacant chair,
And sometimes, love, oh! gaze upon
This golden tress of hair!
And think that with its sister curls,
1t foated DER the brow,
That rests within the darksome tomb,
So damp and icy now.
But yet your grief will pass away,
Like dusky shades of night,
The cypress wreath you'll change, beloved
For one with flowers white!
You'll fondly love another one,
And call her thine-but yet,
Your lost bride-your first beloved
Oh! do not quite forget.
And she, thy chosen one may bring
A heart of love to thee
But not more loving. true than mine,
| know it cannot be; f-1
But mine must throbless be and hushed,
It's warm outgushing still
But you will sometimes think OF her
Who rests so pale and chill.
Wiltsometimes fancy that my arms
Are fondly round thee twined,
And that my cheek, once warm and fair,
Is closely pressed to thine?
For when Pm gone, forever gone,
I'd be remembered yet
Then think of me sometimes, beloved,
And never quite forget.

pierce the darkness, sending joy and sun
shine to your heart. Enjoy each moment
as it passes, as best you may; yet in such a

to close you may not say in bitterness of
spirit, my life hath been far worse than
nought. II sorrow and disappointments

as pensloner OF God, and consider for
what were these dispensations of Provi-
dence. If the past hath dealt with thee
more kindly than the present, be thankful
that your youthful DAYS were unclouded bv
sorrow. If, on the other hand grief pain
and disease hath strewed the path you have
trod, rejoice that the ordeal thus far is pass
ed, remembering it was for some wise pur-
pose you were thus afflicted. If death hath
taken from yonr embrace a much loved
friend, waste not in vain regrets the morn
OfyOur existence, for your tears cannot ami
mate that cold lifeless form, or quicken that
cold pulseless heart; neither can they force
back, however ardent may be your DESIRE
that spirit which hath returned to God who
gave 1t. Grieve not as one who hath been
deeply wronged; but rather study deep the
mystery Of death, and prepare for that sol
emn change which must convey you to the
eternal world.
Remember your remaining friends; they
too, are mortal, and like the one for whom
you already mourn, they too, must die; and
perhaps even now the fatal dart is on the
wing which will enter your little circle and
bear one forever away. Then, while they
cluster around you, lavish upon them the
love and kindness which you vainly wish
you might bestow on the departed Strive
by acts of kindness TO alleviate their sorrow,
and brighten their path through life when
ever it is IN your power. Administer to the
wants of the needy, and extend the hand of
friendship to the afflicted and with a smile
OF appreciation encourage the weak who are
struggling in the path of duty. Let envy,
avarice and pride-those deadly foes to hap
piness, find no resting place in your BOSOM
Let benevolence, sympathy and love be your
abiding guests. Withhold not words of kind
ness from any one, for often one little word
of kindness spoken at proper time hath
stayed wayward youth in his wild career
when severe reprimands and the slanderer's
tongue were fast hardening his stubborn
heart. One word of kindness from true
atfectionate heart hath caused more true
happiness than the most eloquent protesta-
tlons of friendship from the cold selfish be-
ings with whom We daily meet
In striving to be happy yourself let not
selfishness debar you from thinking Of the
happiness Of others; for it is utterly impossi-
be to be happy when surrounded by the un-
happy. Therefore if you would be happy
yourself, you must advance the happiness
of others; and by SO doing you can enjoy all
the happiness that this world affords.

SHIPPING OF THE NATIoN.-Our country
is becoming more and more a commercial
nation, and the annual increase in the a.
mount and value Of the tonnage of her ship
ping far exceeds the increase Of her popula-
tion. According to the Baltimore Anaeri-
can, our total registered tonnage in the year
1880 was 576,675; in 1910 it was 899. 7G4;
in l845 it was 1,005,172; in 1850 it was
/ l,585,7ll, and in 1854 it ranged as high as
2,333,8l9. The american says:
"The investment in vessels is a very large
one, and the amount will perhaps astonish
some OF our readers. If we estimate the
first cost Of these vessels. steam and sailing,
at fifty dollars per ton, IA very low esti-
mate,) it will amount to $240,645 coo, the
annual interest on which, at the legal rate,
is fourteen millions tc10 hndred Hcusand
dollars! But the annual earning of the YES
sells must not only include the interest on
their cost, but also repairs and renewals
If we place these as equal to a total annual
earnings of our commercial marine. This
amount, then, represents the value Of the
labor either directly or indirectly employed
in the home department OF industry pertain
ing to navigation"
