DAYS under the OAK trees OF Brunoy.
Brick Pomeroy's belief as to the reality
and tangibility Of the Hereafter is very plain
ly expressed in the following quotation,
taken from his column entitled "Our Satur-
day Night"
Some day we shall rest, and O what q re-
lief. How welcome the night and it's cool
ing shadows when all the hot day has one
worked. Aud how welcome death, as You
call 1t, to one who is weary of life and its
bitter burdens, and who is ready TO 20, as n
child is ready who waits for its mother.
But some there are who fear to die. As
there are those who fear the hour Of that trial
which will prove them guilty or establish
their innocence. As if this miserable prim-
ary existence were life As if orr work is
to be finished here AS if y broken to-day
were all there is for US who are of the Eternal
and to dwell forever, as there is no annihila.
| ton of spirits.
One of these beautiful Saturday Nights we
shall 60 home to the work we are being fitted
for. And then who will miss us i? Who
will mourn our departure We know one
who will. Do all of US know even one who
would weep for us? Then we know Of one
friend, and here is o reward for life's en-
deavors. Each week counts as nearer home.
as the mile-stones of the week tell us how far
and fast we are travelling. And before long
we can rest. Can sit back in our chair-can
sleep at night to pass the river and waken
there. Will We sink to rest alone? Or will
the Gear eyes to which our thcughtlessness
has brought tears be the lamps to tighten the
entrance to the portals leading to the Eternal.
Will we depart under the touch of the gentle
hand which came to our relief in sickness
and to our greeting in health, CT die by the
wayside as do thousands who dissipate and
fall neglected into the pauper graves awaiting
those who care not for themselves? We
may die alone-with no loved one near us-
just as we expect to fall when the brain can
no longer respond with thoughts, but We
hope never to die so much alone as to be for.
gotten.
Do you fear death We do not. It will
be so glorious to begin the new life to step
out from the trials, the labors, tho struggles.
the disappointments of this world. It will
be such relief to escape from this warfare
with one's self, and to know that ar last VIC
gre beyond the reach and influence Of that
| varied nature which controls man as chang.
ing winds toss helpless leaves. Then will
our real life begin. We shall see plainly
and continually where now we have but
glimpses. We shall be with the great souls
the pure hearts-the kind spirits-the ones
who Over There are resting from their heart
/ sufferings here, and who by first learning to
control and govern themselves, will Re given
power in the Spirit-land to control and gov
ern others, as we all are by the suggestions
which come to us from the ineisible-that
portion alone of ourselves which alone lives
forever.
Then we shall engage in great works.
Shall direct minds. Will be in unison and
perfect harmony with the spirit of the Eter.
nal. Shall have power to annihilate space.
and go on perfect, happy, glorious.

Getting Married Under Difficult
ties.

(From ths Chariot: eviile (va) Chronicle,
We heard few days since of a
gentleman of African scent, about
fifty years old, who had promised
to marry a girl on q certain day that
war not old enough TO leave her
mamma yet, and who was conse-
auently subjected to the following
inconveniences He started out
on the morning before the happy
event was to take place In search OF
the clerks office to secure the nec-
essary papers; but, 10! on his arriv
al there the sage clerk Informed
him that he would have to bring a
certificate from the parents of the
Young lady. He demonstrated, say
ing that he had walked seven miles
and that he could not go back for
that; but it was no use, and so find
ing it, off he went. Returning in a
few hours with the certificate he
said that 1t was right; but tpoa ex-
animation there was witness % the
paper, and we can imagain his sur.
prise must have been again. "Wby
90 back 7" he said ''the sun most
down and seven miles to 60 back
for witness: can't do it; oblidged
to get married tomorrow. Hcence
or no licence." But, after thinking
a while, he started off. and returned
Sunday morning with the proper
certificate, after having walked forty
two miles for the license.

Expensive Postage.

The Cleveland Herald says:
Not long since one Samuel H.
Ross, wealthy farmer of Harrison
township, Knox county, endeavored
to balance an account with the gov
ernment in his favor. a- E.
His skill, however, as an account
ant, proved inadequate to the task,
and he will, doubtless, be contented
in future to confine his practical
mathematics to farming operations.
He wished to send three papers and
a letter, by mail, to his father. Hop
ing to be able to get seven cents
worth of labor out of the Postoffice
Department for four cents IN money,
he inclosed his letter in the package
Of papers. The sharp eyes OF
Special Agent C. F. Baldwin were
not shut nor his ears dull, and Mr..
Ross was soon escorted to Cleve
land to settle accounts. Informa-
ton was filed in the United States
Court, on Saturday, to which he
pleaded guilty, and paid Sl69 80 fine
and costs He intended to save
three cents, and he has paid S169 so
balance in favor of Uncle Sam,
Sl69 II.

(From the New York Star. J


Yesterday morning, Col. White
ley, Chief of the Secret Service Di
vision of the Treasury Department,
stationed in this city. received a
telegram from Springfield, ILL.,, in
forming him that Detectives Apple
gate, Lanigan and Egan had sue
ceeded in capturing, at that place,
the most notorious counterfeiter,
and one of the most n ytorious char
acters in the West, Peter Mozart
ney, alias "Joe" Woods, and Binion,
a Frenchman, one of his confeder-
:.tes. In the possession of Mozart
ney was found S131, 900 in counter
felt money of various kinds and de
nominations. Mccartney has crea-
ted almost as great a sensation in
the West, on account of his numer
Gus crimes, as the notorious John
A. Mur:ell, the "land pirate" did
many years ago. He has been ar
rested over and over again, and has
broken Jail at least six times-once
in Springfield, ILL.,, and once in Gin
cinnati, where he was captured by
that willy detective "Jim" Rufiin. for
having a counterfeit plate in his
possession. The detectives came
near catching him a short time since,
he just eluded them by the merest
chance. They, however, captured
his wife, who is a most beautiful
woman and very respectfully con-
nected, and to whom he is passion
ately devoted, and it is owing to his
endeavors to communicate with her
that he was finally captured. He is
powerful, we'll built man, with eyes
us black as night, deeply set, a mass
i've forehead projecting over them,
and wears very handsome black
beard. He is one of the most ex-
pert engravers in the country. Col.
Whiteley says he has got him "dead
to rights" this time, and that he will
be constantly watched, so that he
will have no chance to escape.

perils, conscious that we were i'm
PEELED by cold, inconsiderate and
unfriendly orders, conscious OF the
peril to our country and cause,
knowing full well that the nation
held its breath in fear lest we should
be overwhelmed, and that We should

to their work as brave men go to

ing to pin their names upon their

might be found with mark of con-
scious self-immolation upon him.
In this invincible spirit of con-

agree that the campaign of Chatta-

DANIEL LEWIS, of Trenton, Ohio,
left bone, one day last week, while
suffering under an attack of deliriun,
tremens. He was looked for, and
his body, when found, says the Reg
tster, uresents d one of the most hor-
rid spectacles that human eyes are
called to witness. In the midst of
a thick underground Of brush and
hfiers lay Lewis stark dead, his head
resting in a hillside gutter, and his
body torn and lacerated by briers.
Around were indications of a most
horrid death. The twigs and bushes,
within few feet Of him, had been
wrenched from the soil, or snapped
off near the roots, most probably by
his teeth or nails, while in the writh
ings of death. He 90 .,stEsggled
with his feet that the dirt was thrown
about him, and q deep hole made in
the earth. The visions that passed
before his frenzied mind must have
been indescribably terrible.

Congressional Time

The Murfreesboro Mo1itor says
On last Saturday. IN a short editorial,
we mentioned the necessity of hold
ing congressional convention in
Shelbyville, or some other suitable
town in the district. for the purpose
Of deciding upon the claims of the
various aspiTants for Congress-
Since that time we have heard from
a good many of our friends, not only
10 this county, but IN adjoining coun-
ties, and we are satisfied that it is
the generally expressed preference
that the convention should be held in
this place, because of its central To-
cality. and from the fact that it is ca
sier to get here than anywhere else
in the district. Indeed, ne have re-
ceived urgent solicitations to that eff
feet, and in obedience to them we
hereby suggest thai the said conven-
ton assemble in this place at 12 o.
clock on Moncay. Sep. 18Th. We
hope tnat all othsr counties 10 the

tons select dele gates and give them
instructions to meet here al that time.
