A Natural G lriosity.

Silver Spring, Florida, is one Of the
greatest curiositie, in the South. 1t
bursts forth in the midst of the most
fertile country in the State. 1t bub.
bles up in basin. nearly one hundred
feet deep and about an acre in extent
and sends from it a deep stream sixty
to one hundred feet wide, extending
six to eight miLs, to the Ocklawaha
river. In the spring itself, fifty boats
may lie at anchor-quite fleet. The
spring thus forms natural inland port.
to which three steamers now run regu-
iarly from St. Johns, making close con-
nections with the ocean steamers at
Philadelphia. The clearness of the wa
ter is truly wonderful. 1t seems even
more transparent than air :; you see the
bottom eighty feet below the surface Of
the water; the exact form Of the small
lest pebbles, the outline and color Of
the leaf that has sunk, while all the
prismatic colors Of the rainbow arc re.
Aected. Large fish swim in it, every
scale visible and every movement dis
tinctly seen. If you 60 over the spring
in a boat, you will see the assures ii
the rock, from which the river pour!
upward like an inverted cataract.

An old man came along the sea shore
and setting down to rest on the bank
side, he watched the golden rays Of the
setting sun as they. came streaming
down the Western heavens he noticed
how they fell across the ocean wave,

deepening, they shone family ON the
ivy-uantled ruins Of an old castle on
the h,lls OF the Eastern shore.-'And I

lasting, and thousand years are to
Thee as day that is past; my knees
are feeble and trembling, my hand is
unsteady, and at every little care or
alarm, my heart autters and my head
bows down, but it was thy hand that
laid the earth, it was thy right hand
that spanned the heavens Thou rulest
the raging Of the sea, and Thy path is
in the great waters. Oh, Divine
Strength. Oh, Light of lights. l lift

they need no light of the sun and wher

Educational,

The National Teachers Association
has lust closed its seventh annual ses-
sion, and its effects upon the country
will prove one Of the most important
events of the present year. All the
departments of Education-proper-
we're represented in that body. Some
Of the ripest scholars in America were
there, and participated in the work Of
the occasion. The representations Of
the College and Of tho Common school
met and took counsel each of the other,
and the result will be closer reunion
Of all the educational forces Of the
country, and all increased vitality in
every department Of the work. Those
conscientious unwearying labors for hui
manity deserve hearty sympathy and
earnest cooperation. Into their hands,
and under their influence, do we place
our children. and the character which
they will thus acquire, will be omnipoten'
fer good or evil. There is no higher
responsibility than that WHICH rests upor
the educators of the youth Of America
sza they are entitled and ought to re-
veirs tho highest consideration o
al frisnds Of improvement.

G. G. Wykof is Dead.

About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing, G. G.. Wykoff, who for several
days past has been very dangerously
i'll, breathed his last. Mr.. Wykoff was
about thirty-nine years of age. The
time for the funeral has not yet been
decided on, but if possible it will be
held on Wednesday next
..::,Of Mr.. Wykoff's early history, We
have been unable to learn much thus
far. ,s...-
The Democrat pays this tribute to
Mr.. Wykoff, which was only too we'll
deserved:
''This city, and especially the South
ern Minnesota r. r. Co., will feel his
loss greatly, for he was gentleman OF
means and enterprise, and his great
popularity, coupled with public spirit
and enterprise ;hat was always used for
the benefit of La t'rosse, gave this city
prestig and honor that always will
rebound for the future good Of this Sec
ton"
"He was tar-seeing, and was one OF
the first to launch forth in the work of
constructing the Southern Minnesota
Railroad, being intimately connected
with that enterprise from the time the
tie was laid till its completion 200
miles west, and from his thorough
knowledge of the route and road was
lately elected its general manager, the
most responsible position in the gift o
the COMPANY. His loss is deeply de
plored by all, and hundreds Of friend i.
have extended their sympathies to the
family and relatives Of the deceased in
this horr of gloom aud sorrow: Moth
ing could speak more e'oquently of his
worth as man, friend and relative

The Moderate Drinker.

If there is a class Of men upon which
the enormous sin occasioned by the
whisky traffic should fall most heavily,
it is the moderate drinker. He enters
the arena with his eyes open; he takes
tho initiatory step that launches millions
into drunkard's graves. He leads the
advance down the declivity at whose
base lies ruin and death. The moder-
ate drinker has no excuse he willfully
brakes through Gods commands, and
becomes the stepping stone to an
icnominous career. God forbid that we
should have so many among US who dsrt
take this great responsibility. The
moderate drinker is to-day the back
bone ofthis vast whisky oligarchy which
is sapping the foundation of all oul
social as we'll as public enterprise. He
has power to stop this great carnival
of crime. Will he do it? or has the
manly pride which should actuate the
human breast forsakcn this class =! Goo
forbid. -- Temperance Adrocate.

Who Shall Represent Us"

There has never been a time
when greater effort Was required
to successfully defend the rights
Of the people against the oncroachments
Of constituted power, than is required
to-day.
In choosing men to do this work, at
tenton should be given to their gener-
al character; as we'll as to their intel
lcctual fitness. Our country has suf-
fered far more for the want Of good
men in office, than it has for the want
Of great men,
Of the qualifications of the men for
the several places to be filled, we have
had no opportunity of forming an opin-
ion, and have mono to express.
To attend the primary meetings, is
duty which every voter ought to re-
gard as sacred, because it is there that
the people exercise their choice in se-
Letting men whom they desire to honor
with their SURFACES. At the polls
they have but one alternative. In the
caucuses their liberty Of choice is un-
restricted. We hope to see good men
nominated, and for the election Of such
We will labor most heartily.

To MAKE ROME HAPPY.-To make
home happy, there should be no con.
cealments; for they are the canker'
worm. Let woman tell her troubles
and Rollies freely to her husband, and
he will assist her out of them. He is
her other self, and not her judge and
master. IF a man con6de in his wife,
her penetration and quick wit will often
see things that escape him. We are
10 the world all day; our minds are
occupied by many details; but she
sits at home, often alone, or with but
an infant companion. She thinks over
what her husband has told her, and sees
it in many lights; she has had the time
which he wanted. The discovery that
there has been a secret, excites jeal-
ousy ond loosens the ties Of affection
on either side. Without perfect and
entire confidence, married happiness is
seldom lasting.
