The Bankrupt Law.

The New York Herald argues that owing
to the vacilation and uncertainty of all legis-
lators, it will be prudent for those who desire
to take the benefit Of the Bankrupt Law, to
lose no slime in acting under it. It says that
a resolute effort will be made by heavy
capitalists to obtain IT'S repeal at the next
session of Congress. It adds:
While it lasts, however, the law will be
the millennium of insolvent debtors, and viii
prove a great advantage to the country. Il
win not decrease the value of property, but
will free capable and enterpTising business
men from the incubus of debt which weighs
them down, paralyzes their energies and
prevents them from redeeming their for
tunes
It viii do more than the Reconstruction
act itself to relieve and settle the Southern
States, and not the least Of its advantages
will be the influence it viii have IN clearing
away all unsound banking associations and
bogus stock companies, and creating more
heaIthful condition In all the monetary insti-
tutions Of the country. But there should be
no delay on the part Of those who desire to
take advantage of its provisions; for there
is no knowing how soon they may be de-
priYed of the opportunity.

OVER THE RIVER.
BIZ FRANCES L. KELLER,

The river is dark and the cold,
The boatman is pale and the bark is old;
'Tis the burden that's brsathed from lips Of clay,
And the spirit shudders to launch away,
To ungrapple the chains from the shores of Time,
With an outward bound for an unknown cline;
To loose its grasp from the realm of Real,
And be drifted away to the dim IDEAL
But the mystical voice that the deep life hears,
Would scatter such doubts and would Danish she fears
1t talks to the soul in different way,
And it says that the rays from the regions of Day
Give warmth to the that dream cold,
And the river is glinted with gmmers of gold
That the rippleB bronzed by briIIiancy bright,
Unswept by the shadows that darken Times flight.
And it says that the bark. though a fairy thing.
Is a masterpiece of the heavenly King
And though light as a cloud in the ether blue.
And clear the air, it is strong and true.
A nd ngels' wings the sails that fan
The longing Life to a IoveIier land;
And the music that drifts from the world of bliss
Makes the spirit forget all the music of this.
And this is the way our bark shall ride
Over the murmuring, musical tide;
And a host Of souls the other side,
So pure and fair, and gIorided,
With anthems of rapture shall welcome in
Another Life from the land Of sin
And the spirit released shall nevermore
Regret its change to the fadeless shore.

Hard TO Decide.-A traveller stopped at
a public house ia Vermont, for the purpose
Of getting dinner, knocked, but received no
answer Going IN, he found @ little white
headed man, in the embrace Of his wife. who
had bis head under her arm, while with the
other she was giving her little lord pound
ing. Wishing to put an end to the fight, the
traveller knocked on the table aud cried out
in a loud voice, Halo, here who keeps
this house p The husband though much
out of breath, answered; Stranger, that's
what we are trying to decide.

A NEW KIND OF PAVEMENT.
Claimed to be Superior to the Nioolson.

A curious discovery has recently been
made in England and patented for practical
purposes 1t has been known that siliciOus
rock dissolved in caustic soda at high tenn
peratures produced liquid silex; but it was
recently found that this liquid silex, known
as flint soap could be made intensely hard
in few minutes by the addition of chloride
Of calcium. Rock can thus be made of any
size or shape, and so hard that it viii give
out semi metallic ring when struck Such
rock can be used in buildings, in the manu-
facture of cornices and mouldings The
sills Of doors and windows, mortuary monu-
ments, and for many other purposes. It is
hard, durable and less susceptible than most
common rock to atmospheric influences lt
costs about twice as much as brick, and
about One-third as much as uncut stone and
one-tenth as much as most fine cut stone
work A company has just been formed in
this city to purchase from the Baltimore
patentee the right to use this concrete stone
In this section Mr.. J. T. TrezeYant who is
an active member Of this company, states
that by mixing sand with the flint soap, and
then adding chloride of calcium, he can Ia
a few minutes produce a stone that is very
hard, and that would be well adapted for
paving. BE has made model to show small
pyTamidal blocks Of this stone with the
interstices between them filed in with gravel
in coal tar The blocks could be set directly
upon sand foundation, and this pavement
would be almost perishable-yet have all
the advantages of the Nieolson Some idea
of the relative cost of this new material and
other stone may be had from the fact that
curbing with this Ransom's concrete stone
would cost seventy-five cents per foot, while
the curbing for the Nicolson is to cost from
81 60 to 81 70 per loet-Aemphis AUal0-

The Other Side.-Once in happy home,
a sweet, bright baby died On the evening
Of the day. when the children gathered
round their mother, all sitting very sorrow
full Alice, the eldest, said
Mother, you took all the care Of baby
while she was here, and you carried her
and held her in your arms al the while she
was i'll; now, mother, who took her on the
other side?'
On the other side of what, AliceY'
"On the other side of death; who took
the baby on the other side, mother; she was
90 little that she could not 90 alone
Jesus met her there, answered the
mother. at is he who took little children

/ little children to come unto me, and forbid

I" God Bless. You "A crippled beggar
was striving to pick up some old clothing
that had been thrown from the window,
when a crowd Of rude boys gathered about
him, mimicking his awkward movements,
and hooting at his heplessness and rags.
Presently a noble little fellow came up, and,
pushing his way through the crowd, helped
the poor crippled man to pick up his gifts,
and placed them In a bundle Then as he
was running away, voice above him said.
Little boy with straw hat, look up" A
lady leaning from an upper window said
earnestly, God bless you, my little fellow,
God will bless you for that As he walked
along, he thought how glad be had made his
own heart by doing good. He thought Of
the poor beggar's grateful look; of the lady
smile and her approval; and last, and better
than all, he could almost hear his Heavenly
Father whispering, Blessed are the mercifuI,
| for they shall obtain mercy. Little reader,
when you have opportunity of doing
| good, and feel tempted to neglect it, remem-
| Der the little boy with the straw hat

Hopeful.

The Memphis Public Ledger thus hope
fully speaks OF the result of the election in
August:
The recent revolution in public sentiment
in East and Middle Tennessee, brought
about in part by the outrages perpetrated by
the Brownlow party, renders the election of
Etheridge a matter as certain as any future
event Brownow will be defeated by thou
sands, we believe by tens of thousands.
White and black in these divisions of the
State are uniting on our candidate and work
ing harmOniOusly together In our own sec
tion, the tide is going in the same direction
That we shall carry West Tennessee, we
have every evidence for believing. We shall
elect Leftwich to Congress and full dele
CATION to the Legislature We state with
confidence from all the lights before US, that
we shall triumph everywhere, and that after
the August election there viii be no radical
party in Tennessee. There will remain
nothing of it but few fragments, such as
old coats and hats, old boots, brogans and
socks, and gangs of fooled, cheated, bewil-
! dered colored people who followed the radi-
/ cal party to ruin Where will the black
/ Brownlowites 90 tnen2 They warred upon
| their old friends and protectors, forsook them
/ in the day of their sorrow, went off to stran
| gers, and marched headlong to the devil
! Let them think of these things in time
Etheridge will not ouly be elected-he viii
will be inaugurated. That is certain. There
is no power that possesses the win to drive
him from the Office to which the people shall
elect him. The Federal troops, if necessary
will protect him, and hurl back all who shal
attempt to defeat his Inauguration. Let tn
colored people abandon the sinking ship c
Brownlow at once. If they do not, the.
viii have no party and few friends after tn
| AuUust election

An old poet gives the following instruc-
tions upon the subject of how men should
treat women When thou art married,
seek to please thy wife; but listen not to all
she says. From a man. right side a rib was
taken TO form a woman, and never was there
seen a rib quite straight And wouldst thou
straightcn it2 1t breaks, bat bends not.
Since then, tis plain that crooked is woman's
temper, forgive her faults and blame her
not; nor let her anger thee, nor coercion
use, as all is vain to straighten what IS curved
