How Mr.. Bishop Lost
$500.

On Saturday Mr.. Bishop, of
the firm OF Bishop & Flynn, 81
Frankfort street, drew $500 from
the Mutual Benefit Savings Bank
and placed it in the safe in his
office. Soon after he had occasion
to go out for few minutes, and
left his porter to watch the open
safe. Then three fashionably
dressed young men came in and
asked for member of the firm.
"He has stepped out" replied
the porter.
'How very unfortunate" said
the spokesman of the party
"My name is Henry Carter, and l
came from Charleston to buy pa.
per stock. But4no matter, show
me your samples in reams.'
While the porter was showing
the samples one of the young men
sneaked round the counter and
took the $500 out of the safe
The porter cannot give a Gescrip-
ton of either of the thieves
Capt. AlIaire is nonplussed, and
Mr.. Bishop feels bad.-M 7. San.

FAYETTEVILLE BEHIND.

There is hardly another town
in the State cf Tennessee but that
can boast Of fifty or a hundred men
belonging to the Sons. That is
surely a shame-it speaks bad for
this community. Yes, as many
men as we have who profess to do
rightin the eyes Of God and man,
| think it really a shame, that we
can turn out so few men as we dc,
who are willing and ready to do
the great commandment of God,
''Love thy neighbor as thyself."
There is too much selGshuess a.
mong us /; we care for no one but
number one-may the devil take
the balance, is our motto. That
is bad, bad spirit. Remember,
friends, life is short, even at the
longest period allowed US. We
must all soon pass to the bar Of
God to give an account of our
deeds, and it is surely great sin
to see our fellow man drinking
his body to ruin on earth and his
soul to damnation in eternity,
without the least word of warning.
You cannot give that word with
SO great effect outside the Order
as you can in it. There you can
only say 90 and be saved, with US
you can say come. You all know
which has the greatest effect.
Come, join US then, and sin no
more.

STRANGE.

We think IT very strange when
we see horses in a burning barn
seeking, as it were, their own de-
struction, BY making every effort
IpoSsible to stay there. You may
do all in your power to bring them
away, but unless you bring some
strategic power to help them a.
way they will certainly stay and
be burned up. But when we re-
fl, ct that they belong to the br7,te
creation, we can expect no more
from them. They know not the
danger that awaits them, and, be-
ing without reasoning power, do
not reflect. But how much more
strange does it seem when we see
man, the image of God, possessed
with every advantage that his rea-
soning power can invent, having
hundreds Of examples set before
him every day, both good and bad,
reared in the heart of civilization,
brought up in the arms Of educa-
ton, with all earthly happiness at
stake, and the frowns Of both God
and man upon him-we repeat.
how strange it seems that Le, like
the poor dumb brute, viii seek his
own destruction; and not only his
own, but he seeks to destroy his
wife, children and kindred gene.

temperance. He marches delibe-
rately forward while the MONDAY
sun scorches him through his rags,

are in his coat, with o smile of
contentment resting on MS bloatrd
face, and steps up to the bar To
spend the last cent be has in the
world for zone drink" '.just one
drink" of whiskey. When that
''last cent" is gone (that should
have bought bread for his starving
babes at home,) he buys all that

Lost Sheep and Fat Sheep

a clergyman writes Some
twenty-five years ago when | was
pastor of a church in - | took
occasion one evening to attend a
social meeting in the church of
that place. As is their custom
on such occasions, one alter an
other rose and gave bis or her
experience. Alter a time man
in humble circumstances, small
in stature, and with a very elfemi-
nate speaking voice, r,se to G We
in a piece of his experience, which
was done in the following man
ner:
Brethren, have been a mem
Der of this church for many years.
| have seen hard times; my tami-
ly has been much afflicted !; but |
have for the first time in my life
to see my pastor or any of the
trustees of this church cross the
thresho Id Of nay docr.''
No sooner had he uttered this
part of his experience than he
was suddenly interrupted by one
of the trustees, an aged man, who
rose up and said in a loud voice /:
"My dear brother, you must
put the devil behind you"
On taking his seat, the pastor
in charge quickly rose, and also
replied to the little man as fol-
lows:
"My dear brother, you must re-
member that we shepherds are
sent to the lost sheep OF the House
ol Israel"
Whereupon the little man rose
again and in answer, said in a very
loud tone of voice,
eyes; and if I'd been a fat one,
you would have found me long
ago"
The effect upon the audience
can be better imagined than de
sclibed.

A FAST TRAIN.-The Buffalo
Courier SAYS "A few years ago
the experiment of extra speed
was tried between Boston apd
Chicago, and 1ilh entire success,
so far as safety was concerned.
1t was abandoned on the score of
economy only. The experiment
is again being tried, aud the rate
of sreed ventured by the new
schedule recently adopted is high
er than ever before attempted.
The Chicago express from Boston
Just put on, made the run in 328
hours, which is seven hours less
than before and the New York
express, which leaves Albany at
5 p. n, reached the metropolis at
8, running a mile in every minute
and a half, including stops We
are informed that nothing lii e this
speed has hitherto been attempted
in this country, and the problem
is whether or not it is practicable.
The first consideration, of course,
is safety and the next is economy,
Practical engineers say that it
should only be attempted on first
class roads, and with frst-class
engines and cars. The track be
carefully ballasted, the machinery
perfect, and the vigilance unceas-
ing. Under such circumstances
it is asserted that an average speed
Of 40 miles an hour can be main
,ained from Boston to Chicago,
about as safely as % miles an
hour were run ten years ago."

A KISS AT THE DOOR,

We were standing in the doorway
My little wife and l,
The golden sun upon her hair,
Fell down so silently
A small white hand upon my arm,
What could ask for more
Than the kindly glance Of loving eyes,
As she kissed me at the door. -'res
5 l know she loves with all her heart
The one who stands beside.
And the years have been so joyous,
Since first / called her bride,
We've had so much of happiness
Since we met in years before,
But the happiest time of all was
When she kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth of land or gold,
For fame or matchless power s
1t doesn give the happiness
OF just one little hour
With one who loves me as her life
She says she loves me more
And l thought she did this morning,
When she kissed me at the door.
at times it seems as if the world,
With all its wealth of gold,
Is very small and poor indeed,
Compared with what l hold
And when the clouds hang grimly darl
| only think the more
OF one who waits the coming step,
To kiss me at the door.
If she lives till age shall scatter
It's frost upon her head, -a.
know she'll love me just the same
AS the morning we were wed
Dut'if the angels call her,
And she goes to heaven before.
l shall know her when | meet her,
For She'll kiss me at the door.

1t is announced on excellent
authority that more than half a
million pounds of willow Leaf were
made up at Shanghai last season
and palmed off as green tea :
The willow leaf, as prepared, can
not be distinguished from green
tea by the eye; but to cover the
difference in taste, it has been
mixed with tea before being sold.
1t can be produced at cost of
about four cents pound, and can
be used in the proportion of twenty
or forty pei cent. of the whole
mixture-so that it can be easily
seen what a profit the "little
game" can be made to represent
to the seller.

A DIFFERENCE.-A teacher one
day, for want of a better thing for
the class to parse, took up tenn
perance paper, intending to have
them parse a temperance story ;
but as the story was long one,
he told them to stop at the "grog
shop" and not parse it. He, of
course, had reference to a portion
of the story. Imagine his surprise,
next morning, to receive note of
dismissal from the school commit
tee for his Incorporate ideas in ad-
vising his pupils ''to stop at a grog
shop, and not pass it." An expla-
nation ensued, in which it was
found that parsing aDd passing
are not the same.

1t is needless for us to multiply
facts and figures to show the i'm
mense advantages of railroads to
acommunity. Had Lincoln coun-
ty carried her railroad through
her county as Maury did in 1860,
her valuation would not be less
than $12,500,000. Let the peo-
pie open their eyes, and work for
railroads and turnpikesin in Middle
Tennessee for the next ten years,
and they would be the wealthiest
agricultural people in the United
States.
Do you need facts to prove that
Narrow Gauge roads are a success
that they are what we want in
Middle Tennessee? Do you take
the papers? If SO, then, during
the last twelve months, you have
seen enough articles from good
authority, to convince a China
man. These articles have told
you that these roads from 2 feet
gauge up to 3 feet 81 inches, are
the most successful and profita-
bic anywhere to be found. Their
principal advantages lie in their
small outlay of capital in construc-
tion; the small expense account
for repairs, and running expense,
and the immense tonnage OF their
freight list, as compared with the
weight of cars to carry it. We
will call attention to the fact that
great through routes are preparing
to reduce their broad gauge to be-
tween 4 and 5 feet. 1t is only
a day or two since the Ohio & Mis-
sissippi Railroad, from Cincinnati
to St. Louis, changed their entire
road $40 miles, in theshortspace of
seven hours, from a 6 feet gauge to
4 feet 9 inches, taking about $500
workmen to do it. This shows
that the tendency is rather to
narrow than wide gauges.
1t may not be in appropriate to
make a comparison of the value
of lands with and without tie
railroad.
Taking the land for five miles
on each side of the road as basis
for calculation, we have for 43
miles of road 430 square miles,
equal to 275, 200 acres, estimating
them at $50 per acre, gives $5,-
5O4, 900 as the present value Of
the land. There can be no doabt
that it will be enhanced at least one
hundred per cent. or making value
on completion 81, ,00S, 600. Now,
as will be observed, 81 per cent.
will furnish the means to complete
the road. To show the value OF
this line to Lincoln and Marshall
it will only be necessary
to refer to the following statement
of distances from Fayetteville to
Nashville via Decherd, and Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad. l23
miles. From Fayetteville to Nash
