BIT JoHH JAMES.
A noble spirits fed;
A gallant heart Is torn;
A sOul that knew no dread
To lie native realm Ia borne.
The flock have lost their herd
His voice Is silent now;
No more vel hear his kindly word,
Nor view his manly brow;
But here in sorrow must deplore,
That such an heyo's gone before.
Our star Of hope Is dimm'd,
A cloud IL Ger II cast;
The mind that ever trimm'd
Our lamps, has thought It's last.
The gem in all our crown,
The pureSt, brightest, best,
Death ruthlessly has clAim'd his own,
And pierced bis noble breast
While comfortless, whole Thousands mourn
To think he never can return.
The oak, 30 strong, ID felId,
And Witbering now lies low;
How Oft II has repelrd,
Storms, that would Ger us blow.
But now, alas no more,
1t towers into the sky,-
with branches spreading widely Ger,
To shelter all thereby
Fallen, m0uldering 10 the clay,
While We lament the fatal day.
Alasi to know he's gone
Such honesty, and VI rth;
How strange tits ever prone,
To quit 90 soon this earth
So must still bewail-
And see the virtuous die,
While viIliany may live and rail,
And cheat, deceive and lie.
Yet goodness, greatness, truth and seal,
Must sink beneath deaths tyrant heel.
Thou must have felt a thrOe,
Oh death, to kill heart,
Who but to sOreng foe
man in every part.
He did not fear they blow,
Nor shrunk he from thy dart;
He felt Il was bis time to 90,
And yielded to its smart.
The wars unequal thou dost d axe,
And sweetness rtin thou lCVe'st to take.
Mourn, ye reforners, mourn,
Your leader is no more,
From forth your midst is torn
The greatest In the core.
Let every heart sincere,
In memory let fall
An heartfelt sympathetic tear
Upon his humble pal
ur simple tribute to the mind,
That has no equal left behind.
But on some Joshua may
The heavenly command,
Devolve to lead the way,
Into the Promised Land.
Or, Is on ElSha, may
The inspired mantle fall.
Upon some one to-day
Designed to lead ps all,
Unto that great and happy goal
That sYLvIs meant. was TO- the wAs&k

The Oldest Ci,v the World.

Damascus il the Oldest city in the world
Baalbec 10 a ruin Palmyra is buried in
desert Nineveh and Babylon have disap-
peared from the Tigris and Enphrates. Da-
mascus remains what it was before the days
OF Abraham centre of trade and travel
an island of vendure in the desert-Sa pres
idential ca pital'' With martial and sacred
ASSOCIATE Ons extending through thirty centu-
rIes. It was near Damascus that Saul Of
Tarsus saw the light above the brightness of
the sun the street which ls called Strait,
in which it was said "he prayed" still runs
through the city. The caravan comes and
goes as it did a Thousand years ago there
Is still the shelk, the ass, and the water
wheel the merchants of the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy" these
with the multitude Of their wares" The
city which Mahomet surveyed from a neigh
boring height, and Was afraid to enter s'be-
cause it was given to man to have but one
paradise, and for his part, he was resolved
not to have it in this world" is to day
what Julian called the "eye of the East"
rs it was in the time Of Isaiah "the head Of
Syria"
From Damascus came the damson, our
blue plums, and the delicious apricot of
Portugal, called damasco, damask, our
beautiful fabric of cotton and silk, with
vines and a)wers raised upon a smo 9th,
bright ground the darnask rose, intr duced
into Englsn in the tin, Of Henry VIII,
the Damascus blade, so famous the world
over for it's keen edge and wonderful elias.
ticity, the secreI Of whD ,e manufacture was
lost when Tamerlane carried of the artist
into Persia and that beautiful art of LAYING
wood and steel with silver sui gold, a kind
OF mosaic engraving and scllptural united
called dsmsskeniny- which boxes,
bureaus, sSords and guns are ornam ented.
lt ls still city o. flowers and bright waters;
the streams Of Lsbanoa and the s'river of
gold" still murmur and sparkle in the Wild
erness Of the Syrian gardens.

The box lift consisted Of four upright
beams, connected at the tip BY cross braces;
q wheel was carried BY these braces, and
round 1t was cast a rope, ut eag.. end Of
which box was attached. Tbs material
was raised in each Of the boxes alternately
BY the weight Of the men descending in the
other.
The illustration will serve to give an idea
OF the principle Of the box lift.
The WORK done per man, per day, by this
contrivance, was found to be
work done 1910 ft.-lbs. per minute.
OF 4o4 h.-tons per cay or 10 hours.
From the preceding facts, we can form an
estimate OF the amount of work done by
laboring men in different occupati ons, and
OF the work wasted in each kind unprofta-
bly,.
nave stated in each case the average re-
suit OF the days work, but it is to be re-
membered that men are capable ,on a"spurt"
OF doubling, or even trebling the foregoing
results for day or so, as may be proved by
the following examples

"'THE negroes in East Knoxville
are having a huge old time at the
ColOred Baptist Church. A regular
pOw-wOw is kept up nightly till y
O'Clock, disturbing all in the neigh

"The foregoing item, which ap-
peared in our local columns Sunday
morning, did not fall under our eye
until we read it in the paper, else it
would not have appeared. Every de
nomination has its peculiar mode of
worship, and the negroes, no matter
how enthusiastic they may be, have a
right to theirs. We feel like COM
mending, rather than deriding them,
when we hear of their being engaged

at even the humblest worshipper."
With one amendment, we fully con-
cur with the above item from the
Knoxville Press and Herald. There
are limits of propriety which should
be observed and required from all,
in religious services IS we'll as in ev-
erything else. The last and worst
place of all in which to encourage un-
earthly screams and yells which dis
turb families and sleepers in the dead
of night, and make up little less than
the row of a hideous pandemOnium,
is that of religious worship and the
sanctuary of the Most High God. Re
ligious service in all should be encOUr-
aged and carefully protected; but riot
to none and never. That which white
people owe to the comfort, quiet and
rest of their neighbors in the vigils of
the night is due from black people as
well, and should be required from all.
