Fits !! Why Prominentt

Fer a long time there was a paragraph ma
king its regular weekly appearance in our col
umns' INNS with the brief but emphatic words
Fits Fits always at the head, to some an
offensive caption, but not so to the benevolent
and humane, who could sympathize in the
sorrows of others. Some persons are shock
ed at any indication of disease, and are even
thrown into nervous excitement on witnessing
hearse or coffin. Such are to be pitiedko
We should always strive to look disease and
even death in the face with calmness. and es-
peeially take every opportunity for salleyiatinp
disease. Viewed in this light, the advertise,
ments of s. s. Hance, of lO8 Baltimore street,
Baltimore, Md. possess a certain interest and
those who know of any one suffering from Epi
lelsy, Spasms, or Fits ofany kind, should fee,

Bloom suddenly disappeared. and soon
after the body of young woman suppos-

was identified as that of Miss Bloom and
man named jenkins, with whom she
had last been seen, was arrested as the
murderer. While his examination was
going on in the Court House, Miss Bloom
suddenly made her appearance, alive and

The Photographic art has not yet been

The sure method of detecting a photo

America and England.

Between two giant brother lands
| How proudly roll tn eternal seas,
Seas that, like boundless boundaries, seen
Worthicst of lands like these!
Atlantic! not thy towering waves,
Skyward by rushing tempests curled,
| Fer raised their laborins crests so high
| AS these lands heave the world!
Their progress wakes and wings the earth,
| That trembles to their stir and strife,
| Tossing, like tempest troubled sea,
Her waves of thought and life.
No warrior barks now plow the deep,
That roars and heaves between the twain
But argosies of wealth and worth
Go whitening half the main.
And what noble pathway It's,
For two such lands of power and pride,
That billowy ocean! vast and dread,
Whose mountain waves divide!
Divide, Not so; the kingly barks
Of both are proudly there at home,
Glad as white shepherd tents of peace,
Rear'd mid those focks Of foam.
Divide Tn old ocean seems to be
Part of those realms of strength! Divide :
America and England still
Call thee their own, thou Tide!
For what american but feels
Thourt dear as cen his own famed land .
What Englishman but deems the main
His heritage unspanned!
Sweep on, thou glorious world Of waves,
In power and rushing triumph sweep,
While eyes look on thee fondly still,
And call thee home," thou deep.
One blue, bright, broad America
Thou shin'st to loving western eyes,
While still silvery England seems
There for her sons to rise.
One crested blue America
To faithful western eyes thou art;
One heaven kissed, sun-blazed England, too
For the true island heart.
Thus, cen that wave which parts them, joins
Their country to their clingng souls,
As 'twere her moving, molten self,
That deep around them rolls.
Oh, as to each like each thou seemest,
Fer link them both in peace and love,
In union lasting as thine own,
With yon blue vault above.
Together let them seem to rest,
Blent proudly in thy breast, thou main
In thine and Natures neutral space,
Mingle in one the twain.
Sweep on, thou mighty world Of waves,
In dazzling light a glorious CLEAN,
While these true hearts in thee shall greet
Their country and their home.
Never be it lightly said that thou
Divides these brother lands Roll on,
America and England still,

PETER CARTRIGHT.- Ueekly tells
some queer stories of this pioneer preacher
lie had at one time offended certain Major

and said if he thought he would fight him u
duel he would challenge him.

"Well," said l, then we will step over

But oh, what a rage he got into He
clenched his fists and looked vengeance
Said he, "If thought / could whip you,
would smite you in moment"
"Yes, yes, Major l. said I, "but,
thank God, you can't whip me; but don't
you attempt to strike me, for if you do, and
the devil gets out of you into me, shall
give you the worst whipping you ever got
in all your life" and then walked off and
left him.
His wife was good, Christian woman,
and the family was tented on the ground.
At night, after meeting was closed, | retired
to bed, and about midaight there came a
messenger for me to go to Major Is
tent and pray for him, for he was dying.
Said !, "What is the matter with him ,"
"Oh, he says he has insulted you, one of
Gods ministers, and if you don't come and
pray for him, he will die and go to hell"
"Well, said |, if that's all, the Lord in

KILLED HIS MAS-You have doubtless
heard of DIR. Thompson, the waggish pro-
prietor Of the Atlanta Hotel, in Atlanta, in
this state. Well, once upon . time, two
gentlemen (the one decidedly under the in
fiuence of spiritual presence, and the other
approximating the same condition,) stopped
at the Doctors Hotel. In consequence Of
some extraordinary manifestations on the
part of the "tightest" gent, he soon found
himself nigh unto muss" with the Doc
tor. MS friend, however, carried him OIL
before the matters relched crisis. After
slowing him away the friend returned, and
accosting the proprietor, said very emphat'
ically:
"Sir, you have been treading upon dan
gerous ground, sir; that man is not to DO
tampered with, sir do you know, sir, that
he has killed his man, sir:"
"Killed his manr' says Thompson, with
voice like q taunder-clap, and most in
tense expression Of contempt upon his phiz;
"By Jove, sir, let me inform you l have
practiced medicine for twenty years, and
you mustn't attempt to frighten me with q
chap that has only killed his man. Bah
sir. it wont begin to do.
The fellow collapsed" and forthwith
settled his bill.-Porter's Spirit.
