Shocking Tragedy.

A most shocking tragedy occurred at
Gloucester, Mass, Sunday afternoon.-
After dinner Mrs. Davis, her two sisters.
and Mrs. Douglass left home for the
purpose Of berrying, and having proceeded
about mile, nearly to the shore on the
outside, had become somewhat scattered,
While there Samuel Davis, the husband of
Mrs. Davis, came up to where she was
standing with her sister, and deliberately
aimed revolver at her. The sister asked
him not to kill Mrs. Davis, and put out
her hand to push the revolver away, but
before she touched it one charge entered
Mrs. Davis breast, who Immediately fell
Davis then fired at his wife again, and the
charge also entered her breast He then

Lying in Bed with the Head high

1t is often question among persons who
are unacquainted with the anatomy and
physiology of man, whether lying with the
head exalted, or even with the body, was
the most wholesome. Most persons con-
suldng their OWN ease on this point, argue
in favor of that which they prefer. Now,
although many delight in bolstering up
their heads at night and sleep ,soundly
without injury, yet we declare it to be
dangerous habit. The vessels through
which the blood passes from the heart to
the head, are always lesseued in their ca
vities when the head is. resting in bod higher
than tho body; therefore in all diseases
i'attended with fever, the head should be
pretty nearly on q level with the body;
and the people ought to aeeustom them.

Romantic Folly.

The Inland Daily Times of Lancaster,
Pa., chronicles the return of two young
women, who became fascinated with the
attractions of circus which visited lnat
place not long since, and took il in their
romantic heads to go off with it, despite
the earnest and repeated remonstrances of
their parents. Go they must, and 60 they
did. But change came over the spirit Of
their dreams. They found the tinsel Of
the arena but the trappings of a miserable
life. They were subject to i'll treatment,
found their rough companions "angry,
surly and cross" and they took the oppor-
tunity to run away from the circus. In
the course of their wanderings they reach
ed Harrisburg, and from thence made the
best of their way homo, thoroughly cured
of thor, foolish delnsion, After much
weeping and many promises the runaways
were taken into their houses once more
Both of these hair-brained romantic girls

The Worthlessness of Gold.
LEVI l.. TATE, EDITOR.

1t is stated by many of the survivors Of
the Central Americas passengers, that
there was seldom so large an amour. of
money owned by passengers as was in the
case with those who came by the Central
America. Many were persons of large
means, and there were but very few whose
Immediate wealth did not amount to hun
dreds, while numbers reckoned their gold
by the thousands of dollars. The greater
portion of the passengers were returned

capital they had re allied in hopes to live
life of greater ease as the result of their
industry, and others to get their families
and once moro go to the land of gold
But as the storm continued to rage less
and less of gold was thought of, and when,
on Saturday, it became evident that they
were likely at any moment to be buried

themselves of their treasure belts and scat

REMEMBER The POOR.
a Story from Real Life.

Reader, you have prob ably seen many
noble-looking men, but never one more so
than Charles Frankly. His looks did not
belle him, for he was all he seemed to be.
He was the son OF an honored and retired
merchant, that dwelt far up in the upper
part Of the town, away from the hum Of
business and the cares of business life
His business he had given up to Charles,
who carried it on with such energy and
tact, that it could not be thriving and pro-
sperous, and bid fair, ere long, to become
the best in the whole great Metropolis.
Many were the temptations which daily
beset the path of Charles Frankly; yet he
passed through them with a character un-
blemished and without spot to mar the
great name he bore. Many proud belle
bowed low before him and sought to win
his smile, but was all in vain, for he saw
through the thin gauze that screened them;
and scorned them the more for wearing it.
A beautiful bride his father had chosen
for him /; gay, dashing, and brilliant; they
called her Isabella Leroy. Yet, he fancied
sometimes that a false robe shrouded her
too. ".'-
Walking slowly up the steps Of the Le-
roy mansion, was seemingly old man -
It was Charles Frankly, thus disguised to
see through those that others wore. Ring
ing the bell, he was answered by Isabella
in person. With but one look at his old
and tattercd garments and cutstretched
palm, she said, "Begone sir" and shut the
door in his face. With ours upon his
lips, he walked away. I'..'-I 'lI 10
Evening came; the mansion Of jaime!
Leroy was brightly lighted, and sll we
gayety and mirth within. Yet there wa
one that Joined not the gay tbrong in hcl
room she sat pale and trembling, holding
in her hand a crumplcd note; again she
reads it over to see that there is no posi-
bic mistake.

Reason why this Machine is Universally
Preferred over All Others.

Because it is the only Sewing Machine in
the world ever invented, so constructed as to
fully meet the demands of families for general
use.
Il is very simple and is never liable to get
out of order
8 Itmakesa seam which viii not rip, though
every third stitch is cu'.
1t is not Shuttle Machine.
It sews with two needles, making any
length stitch desired.
1t sews from two ordinary spools and
thus all trouble at winding thread is avoided;
while the same Machine can be adapted at
pleasure, by mere change of spQo!s, to all
varieties of work
z The same Machine runs silk or linnen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
flcilitv.
This Machine will sew in the sleeves of a
coat with the same ease and facility that it
sews a straight seam.
This Machine can be run TO make one
Thousand FIVE hundred stitches per minute.
10 The seams are as elastic as the most elias
tic fabric, so that it is free from all liability to
break 10 washing, ironing or otherwise.
IL The stitches made by this machine sre
more beautiful than any other made either by
hand or machine.
The price of these Machines at office in New
York, range from $75 to $3.50: an additional
charge of SO only is made on each machine
over New YORK prices at Office in Nashville, to
defray expenses of imDortatiOn, &C., to Nash
vile. R. II. BROCKWAY, Sec'y,
