nishes the following, which is both new and
good: az a- 4Z@ Aa &

OF the QnouDtainous and somewhat barren
COUNTIES of Northwestern Georgia, in the
early spring time upon the Sabbath day, l

seat. ---.-...--.---. d. -...
The warm Southern sun, looking down
upon the earth. with its baimiest and kind
lest greeting; the tall apd reverend form
of the aged pastoro of life; and the re pit, SOL
.emn expression of1'uptGfned faces all lifted
the soul with beauty and dignity of the
Scriptures. Just at this solemn moment a

without coat or vest. The extreme heat of
the day was ample apology for the scanti-
ness Of his apparel. By his side sat love-
ly, ed-lipped daughter, apparently eign-
teen years of age-behind them mis-
chievous looking urchin of about fourteen.
Seeing the lizard stretched at its lazy
length-undecide whether to proceed or
retire from his thronged human habitation
the parent of all mischief put into tho
lads head to catch it by the tail As he
did SO, he quietly leaned forward toward
the old man who was inclined in patient,
hearing attitude, and dropped it down the
gap in his loose, homemade nantaloons-
Feeling the reughhess Of the creatures
claws, be jumped hurridly and exctedly
from his seat, bringing his band around with
great force. The lizard perceived his ad-
vance cut off, turned for retreat and gain
ed admission beneath the coarse cotton
shirt.
Here upon the bare flesh, his claws were
intolerable. In an agony of fright-with
huge drops of sweat standing upon his fore
head, and his eyes protrudiDg from their
sockets-the old man began to disrobe.-
The preacher ceased his feeling exhorta-
ton, the eyes oil all the congregation were
turned upon so strange and unaccouutable
scene. Two OF the deacons advanced to
ward him. His daughter in great alarm,
,sprang from his seat, and jumping up and

out

PRENTICE's COMPLIMENTS To HALLECK.-
Halleck's recent declaration to the ROYAL
Lesguers at New York that the army, after
having crushed the rebe lion in the South,
would place their heels upon the heads of
sneaking traitors in the North, as he calls
all who oppose his military tyranny, brings
the following severe rebuke in the last num-
Der of the Louisville journal:
when language such as this was used
several weeks ago by certain Gen. Miroy
we denounced it as Infamous, and held it up
to'the execration of the people. We now,
with additional stress, apply to the language
of Gen. Milroy. 1t is uusPeakably infa-
mems, and deserves, as it will receive, the
heartfelt execration of the people. Nor
will the people, nor should they, rest con-
tent with simple execration. however deep
and burning, they will, as they should say
as they must, if they would live a fee peo-
pie, address themselves with new earnest
ness and devotion to the great work puttins
down at the ballot box the destructive and
internal party of which Gen. Halleck is
worthy chief.

that the nails on the right hand reform
quicker than those of the LETT; thatthe pals
of different fingers reformed in different
times; on both hands, the nail ofthe middle
finger was most quickly reformed; then
those of the ring and index fingers, which
were nearly equal; thsna ils of the thumbs
and little finger took a much longer time,
and the little finger the longest, particular

Berthold found I'll in persons from 16 to "a

the rate of from four six and three-quar-

OLD Co1Ns.-The San Francisco Bulletin
says; 'We have been shown a curiosity in
the shape OF small silver coin, which be-
longs to a gentleman of this city. The coin
date is 652. 1t is a Pine Tree three
penny piece, which was the first piece issu-
ed by the New England colonies, and in
fact the first coinage made by any Europe
ans or their decendaants in America. The
piece is in good preservation, and is highly
valued by its owner. The Pine Tree min
tsge is very scarce, and is much sought after
by coin collectors. A few years since an
American dollar of the coinage of 1895 (the
first year any were issued by the Quilted
States) was owned in this city, the circum-
stances connected with which were as re-
markable as IFS date. The dollar was re-
ceived by the supercargo of trading ves-
sci, at the island of Wuka Heira, one Of the
Marguesss group. The coiu was perfect.
with the exception of small hole drilled
through near the edge, and had evidently
been used as medal. 1t was said by the
natives to have come from the first vessel
which anchored in and fortified the harbor.
This was undoubtedly, Commodore POrter's
feet, which, fitted there in 1918, and who
fortified a small eminence at the head of
Tai-Hae Bay.

ABEAUTIFUL REFLECTIoN.-Bulwer most
eloquently says: Il can not believe that
earth is mans abiding place. 1t cannot
be that our life is cast up by the ocean OF
eternity to float but a moment upon its
waves and then sink into nothingneSs?-
Else, why is it that the glorious aspirations
which ever leap like angels from the tenn :
pie of our hearts, are forever wandering
about uusatsfed! Why is it that the rain
bow aud clouds come overIus with beauty
that is not of earth. and pass off and leave us
to muse upon their loneliness? Why is it
that the stars, which hold their festival
around the midnight throne, and set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
knocking US with their unapproachable glo-
Try? And, finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and taken away from us, leaving
the thousand streams of our affection to
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts?
We are born for higher destiny than that
OF earth; there is realm where the rainbow
never fades. Where the stars will be spread
before US like islands that slumber on the
ocean-and where the beings that pass be-
fore US like shadows will stay in our pres
ence for ever. - - -
