Sic Vita.

Like as the damask rose you see
Or like the blossom on the tree,
Or like the dainty -four Of May,
Or like the morning of the day,
Or like the sun, or like the shade,
Or like the gourd which Jonas had,
Fen such is man-whosc thread is spun,
Drawn out and cut, and so is done;
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth
The sun sets, the shadow flies,
The gourd consumes, and man, he dies.

Temperance Lecture.

On Christmas evening the citizens of
this village were profitably entertained by
temperance lecture from Mrs. Sarah A.
Shepard, of Rockford ILL., The announce
ment of free lecture by distinguished
and eloquent lady, and the expectation of
hearing some good music by the choir,
called together larger audience than had
been in the M. E. Church for the year. On
motion of Rev. j. Anderson, VIM. Hendy,
Esq, was chosen chairman, who, after the
rendering of several excellent pieces of mu-
sic by the choir, introduced Mrs. Shepard
to the audience, who entertained them for
over an hour with truly touching, and
considering the subjcct-a remarkably
interesting lecture. Mrs. Shepard vas fol-
lowed By Rev. Mr.. Anderson, who in his
usual happy and pleasant manner kept the
audience in good humor, while he admin
istercd few very cutting reproofss and
earnest appeals of reform. The excellent
music of the choir was again listened to
with evident pleasure.
Mrs Shepard delivered another lecture
last evening, to a large and attentive au-
dience

TIE NEW JEnUsALEM.-A mathematical
genius makes the following computation ;
Revelations, chap. xxi, 10th verse: "And
he measured the city with reed, twelve
thousand furlongs. The length, breadth,
and heighth of it are equal.'
Twelve thousand furlongs, 1920, 600
feet, which being cubic,i is 930,G89, ,00O, ,000,-
600 100000 cubic feet; the half of which
we will reserve for the throne Of God and
the court of Heaven, half of the balance
for the streets, and the remainder divided
by 469, the cubical feet in the rooms, 10
feet square, and lG feet high, will be 81
743, ,75O, O,000,0 900 rooms.
We will now suppose the world always
did and always will contain 00,o0o, 900 OF
inhabitants, and generation will last 335
years, 100000 every century. ard that
the world will stand 100000 years.
27. 200, 900, 100000 persons. Then sup
pose there were IL ,230 such worlds, equal
to this in number of inhabitants and dura-
ton of years, then there would be a room
l6 feet long, and q wide, and Is high, for
each person, and yet there would be room.

THE SLATE TRADE OF LAKE SUPERIOR
The Superior City Gazette of the l4th
says: During the past eight or ten
months, an element of wealth, destined at
no distant day to enter largely into the
business resources of this section has been
in the prsccss of development, the products
of which will we think, add materially to
the exports from Superior another season.
The slate veins in the neighborhood of the
St. Louis Falls, the value of which for
building and other purposes but few here
appear to have q true conception of, are
now being opened, and the metal prepared
for commercial purposes. Laboring under
the disadvantages of almost impossible
roads, panic prices for supplies. labor, and
transportation, the parties embarked in
the enterprise have stuck manfully to the
task, and are now in position to supply
dealers in the article with roofing and OH
er States, of metal unsurpassed by any in
the world"

4 Reign IF Terror.

New YORK, December 23.-.The Her
AIDS Charlotte county, Virginia, special
says: Along and throughout the cOun-
ties named below, reign of terror pre-
walls. Freedmen have become desper-
ate in awaiting the distribution of
farms and now seek revenge by house
burning, cattle Staying and other out
RACES. The counties of Amelia, Prince
Edward, Limburg, Halifax, Meeklen-
burg, and Pittsylvania are deluged
with such outrages. Murder, arson and
incerdiarism are of nightly occurrence,
and war of races seems inevitable.
The civil authorities are powerless 10
protect and the military posts so remote
that the whites have determined to de-
fend themselves. The resolution is
death before negro supremacy. The
forty acres aud two mules promised the
negroes at Christmas, not being forth
coming has caused this terrible state sf
affairs.

The Alabama Constitution.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, December 2.-
Nicholas Davis, prominent Radical OF
North Alabama, has published letter
freely endorsing the address of Messrs.
Semple, Reed, and others, protesting
against the proposed Constitution.
The Huntsville Advocate, Radical
organ, calls for the reassenIbling of the
Convention to modify the Objectionable
features of the proposed Constitution,
namely, the clause about schools, and
the franchise and registration oaths.
That paper says: "If the Constitution
is not modified, environed as we are and
almost ia state of anarchy, its adop-
tion can only be accepted as q choice OF
evils, not defended as right and proper,
But it is in our power TO modify the
evils now, and for that purpose call the
Convention together again" 1t also re-
pudiates the action of the Radical meet.
ings in North Alabama, and says that
the white Unionists are ignored and re-
jected as unsound.
The TuscHmbia North Alabsmian re-
pudiates the nominations by self-con-
stituted political Convention.
The Conservatives all over the State
are arousing and are determined 10 use
every effort TO defeat the Constitution.
