eigh, the polished Courtier, was neveT
more highly hOH5red than by giving his
name 10 our quiet and transformations
neighbor situated about nine miles away.
Doctors have held the COurtly knight
responsible for many ills to the civilized
world, in being instrumental in intro
ducing the Indian weed to general
notice. But il he was the means Of de-
| stroying both body and mind, to a large
extent, his nRmesake has the high honor
Of restoring shattered constitutional
not q extensively, still with equal GER
taiHty. The properties possessed by the
various springs at Raleigh have long been
known to u citizens aud by many at q
distance. who, in times past, have sought
their h~ealth-giging qualities. Il is no
wonder, therefore, that the O~YerWCrked
press-gang Of our city should wish to
taste OF these iile-giying waters. A few
Of them, By invitation Of EiT. Asa Hill,
the very genial and polite passenger
agent OF the Memphis aud Louisville
road, who acted in the ~CapsOity of
chdpdrOBe on the occasion, and, accOmpa-
MED by Mr.. A. A. PsytOn, the well known
and efficient assistant superintendent,
took possession of a car or the three p "a.
train, on Sunday, and we're soon whiried
along under the careful eye Of Mr.. Mike
Waldron, one Of the saEszt and most
complete officers Of this great tnOT0Ggh-
fare, to Wells station. At this point,
Mr.. Ray, chief Of the omnibus corps, be-
came MASTER Of ceremonies, aud after a
pleasant ride Of fifteen minutes, the party
found themselves at home-we say at
home, for sill Memphis, il seemed, were
out at Raleigh. As all Things sre great
only by comparison, the party es..ied
along some specimens of the stimulating
waters furnished to invalids and Others
by the kind Samsritans found so easily
on ali days Except the Sabbath in our
city. A few hours were very pleasantly
passed visiting the various springs, The
families Of many OF our citizen5 are So
journing there for the summer, and each
excursion train leaving Memphis carries
q large number who 60 TO taste the wa
tiers and enjoy q pleasant walk under the
huge msgnolias and towering oaks, which
throw their refreshing shade everywhere.
Raleigh is by far the pleassnest and most
inviting resort within early reach of
Memphis, and no better way could be
found to pass a quiet and cool Sunday
afternoon, than in the woods surrounded
by the life giving waters which flow IN

MeIsnchoIy Occurrence.

One day last week q funeral wende d
its way to the Monongahela cemetery,
bearing at its front the body Of q be-
loved wife. Judge Dickey drove sadly
along, moVedto tears, almost, by the sobs
of the heart-broken husband. whose
lamentations in broken German YER
enough to make even an undertaker's
bowels move with compassion.
ooh! my wife, my darling wife =
Vot shall l do? l no ARE to live any
longer-not without her-not without
Katy
He bowed his head and believed his
kerchief with tears. Every heart in the
procession beat in sympathetic grief
with his /; every eye was moist with the
reflection that life is uncertain and
death cruel. When the graveyard was
reached, very slowly and carefully they
trod, as if the sleeper could feel the
motion. Never did we see deeper
grief, nor solemnity more Profound
Beside the open grave they placed the
coffin, tenderly lifted it, and slowly
lowered to the narrow confines all that
was mortal of Katy. The German
could restrain himself no longer. He
broke from those beside him, and rush
ed to the grave with intention to throw
himself in-with wild and heartbroken
EXPLANATIONS that life had no charms
for him now that his darling was gone.
Judge Dickey caught and comforted
him with the kindest assurances, and
spoke of the Lord who had given and
who had taken away. The husband
seemed to be struck with the truth
and sincerity of the remark, and cal
ling all his manhood and his fortitude
to the test, choked down his sobs, wip-
ed his weeping eyes, stuck his hands
in his pockets turned to the crowd
and said:
"Yell, veil, I gifts it up; l do not
much care /; l can get anoder wife for
half vat it cost me to bury dis vOn.-
