A Beautiful Thought.

Life is beautifully compared to a foun-
tain fed by thousand streams, that per-
rishes if one is dried. 1t is a silver chord
twisted with thousand strings, parts as
sunder if one is broken. Frail ard thout-
less mortals are surrounded by innumera-
bic dangers, which make it more strange
that they escape SO long. that they all
perish so suddenly at last We are en-
comPassed with accidents every day, to
crush the mouldering tenements which we
inhabit. The seeds Of disease are planted
IN our constitutions by nature. The earth
and the atmosphere, whence we draw the
breath Of life. is pregnant with DEATH
Health is made cooperate its own destruo
ton The food that nourishes the ele-
ments of decay, the soul that animates it bv
vivifying fire, tends to wear it out bv its
own action death turks ID ambush. along
our paths. Notwithstanding this is the
truth so palpably confirmed by the daily
examples before our eyes, how little do
we lay them to heart We see our friends
and neighbOrs .perishing among US, but
how seldom does it occur to our thoughts
that our knell shall, perhaps. give the next
trWtless warning to the world.

a Vivid and Truthful Picture


Etheridge draws the following picture
of the adherents of Radicalism in Tennes-
see. Our readers can test it's truthfulness
by examining the record of such Radicals
as are personally known to them. They
will find the picture a most truthful one /:
Who are the men that surround this
shining light-this mob chieftain-this de-
stroying angel /? Who are they that do his
will. echo his commands, give an appear
ance of strength to his power, and in all
things sustain him as Eastern satraps and
jannissaries sustained their masters in ori-
entail times and lands Who are they
that seek in the name of loyalty to root out
the seed, to kill the fruitful blossom of lib
erty, affecting to hate and despise a great
rebellion at the moment they are arraying
themselves on the side of a greater, a re-
bellion against society, peace, humanity,
love, and all the precepts of good govern
ment? Who are they? Ianswer-APos-
tate Rebels-Not repentant rebels, nor par
doned rebels, but recreant, base, cOwardly,
malignant, apostate rebels The last and
the greatest of earthly infamy has been
reserved for those who has been false to
every principle, truant to every party,
faithless to every promise and engagement
because no other class Of men could do
the work that they have done-eould sink
so low or grapple SO foully.

ing order-which it viii be seen involves
a question Of such rare and delicate sub
tlety, that the learned Gresham, could not
decide. Unlike Hickman and Clingan,
Gresham seems inclined to call for the as
sistance of civil officers to participate in
his uncivil proceedings. The document is
without precedent in legal or military
history

What Becomes Of Our GoId.

In paper before the Polytechnic Asso-
citation, it is stated that our annual gold
product, full fifteen per cent. of it is melt
ed down for manufactures thirty per
cent goes to Europe twenty five per cent.
to Cuba fifteen per cent. to Brazil; FIVE
per cent. direct to China, Japan and the
Indies leaving but FIVE per cent. for cir
curculation in this country. OF that
which goes TO Cuba, the West Indies, and
Brazil, fully fifty per cent. finds it's way to
Europe, where after deducting a large per
centage used in manufacturing, four-ffths
is exported to India. Here the transit of
the precious metal is at an end. Here the
supply, however vast, is absorbed and
never returns to the civilized world.
The Orientals consume but little, while
their productions have ever been in de-
mand among the Western nations, have ac-
quired the desire of accumulation and
boarding, passion common alike TO all
CLASSES among the Egyptians, Indians, Chi
nese and Persians. A French economist
states tkat in his opinion the former nation
alone hide away $50, 100000 Of gold and
silver annually, and the present Emperor
of Morocco is reported as SO addicted to
this avaricious mania that he has filed
seventeen large chambers with the precious
noetals

THE UNCONSCIOUS ORPHAN.

Mother, have found a tear
In your eye! How came it there
More are coming-now they chase
one another down your face
dow feel your bosom heave
What does make yOu sob and grieve9
Let me wipe your tears away,
Or cannot 60 and play
Why Is father sleeping sol
Put me down and let me go
Let nc 60 where I can stand
Near enough to reach his hand
Why, it feels As stiff and cold
As piece of ice to hold
Lift NE up to kiss has check,
Then, perhaps he'll wake and speak.
Mother, oh it isn't he,
For he viii not look at me
Father hadn't checks so white
See, the lips are fastened tight.
Father always spoke and smiled,
Calling nc his darling Chi II -
lie would give and ask kiss
w hen l came but who is this
If It's father, has he done
Speaking to his darling one
WllI he never, never more
Know and love ma as before
Could he hear what we have said
Tell me, what is being dead
Oh he doesn't breathe breath !

Why Women Cannot Enter Masonic
Lodges.


Frequent complaints are made by la
dies in relation to Masonry, and their prin
cipal arguments are, that their husbands
have no business to do anything that they
cannot tell their wives-that which is Sc
cret must be wrong-that it is only a mean
excuse, and so on. One branch of the
subject seems, however. to be capable Of
legendary explanations, and tbe Norfolk
Journal publishes thereon tho following
paragraph:
When King solomon was still a young
man be had married his seventh wife,
She was beautiful young Ammonitess,
With locks as black as the ravens wing and
eyes as bright as the eagles. 1t was be-
lieved that she was the fnvored fair one
among all the sultonas of the Great King
for his affections were not divided then
as they afterwards became. She knew her
power, and used it nnsparingly. 10 addi-
ton to her other qualities, she wrs as in
quisitiye as ever was woman on this
earth.
One evening King solomon attended
lodge on some grand occasion. and stayed
out somewhat late. Wen he returned home
he found the fair Ammonitess in lie
dumps, and pOuting just like the dear wives
of Masons do sometimes now when their
lords stay out too late at the lodge. She
uPbraided him with negeeting her, insin-
uating that he hadn't been to the lodge as
he pretended, and insisted that in future
he should give proof that he went there by
having herself initiated, SO that she might
go there and watch him.
Daughter Of Ammon," replied the
King, ''thOu hast behaved thyself as one of
the foolish women, in presuming to ques-
ton thy lord and master. Thou art not so
angry Eith me as thou pretendest to be
for the true reason Of this behavior is thv
Unsuitable curiosity, in which thou excellest
Eve herself Know then that here ordain
that neither thou nor any of thy inquisi-
tive sex after thee shall ever enter the por-
tails of a Masonic Lodge but shall en-
join the Tyler to pierce through with his
drawn sword any woman that shall attempt
to enter lodge; aye, even thee, Queen of
Israel though thou be !" And that ordi-
nance Of this wisest Of monarcha has con-
tinued in force till this day.

This means, others, in meeting you, will

in apromenade.
4. When you see a person on the oppo-

OF course Jones will "Ho I" and will

AS telegraphed you, Gen. Thomas has
boen invested with discretionary power,

troops to maintain the public peace in Ten

bic as so imminent as has been represented
to the President by the citizens of Ten
nessee, whose application for a disarma-
meut of the militia was noticed in these
dispatches sometime since.
1t is true that Gov. Brownlow has also an

Things do not change in the East.
As Abraham pitched his tent in Beth.

his camp; as David built his palace
on Mt. Zion, SO would Turkish pa
sha now arrange his house; in every
street may be seen the harry children
of Esau squatting on the ground, de-
vouring a mess of lentils like that for
which the rough hunter sold his
birth right; along every road plod the
sons of Rechab, whose fathers, 1000
years ago, bound themselves and
theirs to drink no wine, plant no
tree-enter within no door, and their
children have kept the oath; at every
khanlyoupg men sit around the pan OF
parched corn dipping-their morsel in-
to the dish; Jobs pillow is still used,
and the seed is still trodden into the
ground by asses and kline; Olives arc
shaken from the boughs as directed
by Isaiah; and the grating of trees
is unchanged since the days of Saul.

HAL hesu'eons season Of the year.
For all delight to see
Thy rural touch once more appear
To cheer the dropping tree.
Why, o why hast thou stay'd so long
For Winter, sad and drear,
Has long suhdued the warbling song,
That sounds to us so dear.
See the misses sporting on the ground,
The Youngsters look so gay;
For at thy approach o, firest Queen,
They sing, they dance aud play.
The wild flower, divinely touched,
Puts iurlh an early bloom.
But, all too lode!y caught and pluck d
Throws of its sweet perfume.
Then, lady, stay thy eager hand,
Pluck not the flower so gay,
But go with him you so dearly love
And spend the happy hour
Where kindred spirits meet and move,
But spare the blooming flower.
o, let It stand to adorn the spot
Where nature brought il forth
For itroyives kindred thought,
To beautily the earth
These pretty flowers, like youth, mus
leave,
But why lament their fall 2
For God the departing germ will save,
And reproduce them all

Sound Sense About Advertising.

A young man just commencing
business, and wishing to advertise,
sought the counsel of retired mer.
chant as to tie best mode of proceed
ure, when the following conversation
ensued:
Young MOn--"Whcn is the best
time to advertise p
Retired Merchant--"When do you
put your sign up p
Y. M.-"Why, I don't take il
down it is up all the time"
r. M,-"That is just what you
want to do in advertising-do so all
the time-never stop and you are
sure to win"
Y. M.-"But Why advertise during
dull times p
II. M.-"Because that is just the
time TO make new customers. aud
those you wish to make such have
more time to read aud will notice
and read yonr advertisements, while
in busy times they might not look
at them at all, or at the most give
them a passing glance, in consequence
Of being busy themselves.
Y. M.-"But the large majority of
business men do not advertise during
dull seasons"
r.. M.-"That is just the reason
why advocate it in such seasons.
You have fewer advertisements to
contend with, and l verify believe
that made more new customers
from we'll gotten up and conspicuous
advertisements during dull seasons,
telling the public what was going

Hung like accents OF an angels voice.
