lnsomc few sad lives there comes
moment when the shadow of
death passes over the soul, and does
not touch tic body. After that we
walk along, our appointed path
through the wCrld. and laugh and
talk, and buy and sell, and marry
and are given in marriage, maybe (;
and none of our friends, who hold
our lands, and wish us Godspccd
on our way, imagine, when they
look into our eyes that we are dead,
that. there is no more light in the
evening sky, nor freshness in the
morning dow that in our hearts is
neither hope nor fear regret, re =
mcmbrancc, nor delight; only so
MUCH Of the red heart-throb rs
keeps up the show Of life for other
needs than 3nr Own-only a cold,
dull paticrtc in place of living

LIvISGsroN.-Livingston, the Ar.
rican traveller, describes IN ingcni-
Gus method by which Africans oh.
tain water in the desert: The wo.
men tie bunch of gras to one end
OF u reed, about two feet long, and
insert it in II hole dug as deep as
the arm will reach, then ram down
the sand firmly around it. Apply
ing the mouth TO the tree end OF the
reed, they form n vacuum in tho
grass beneath, in which the water
collects, and in u short time goes to
the mouth. 1t will be perceived
that this simple but truly philosoph-
icai and cilcclual method might have
been applied in many eases in dlf.
itrcnt countries, where water was
needed, to the saving, Of life. 1t
seems wonderful that it should have
been now first known to the world,
and that it should have been habit
ualIy practiccd in Africa, ,propabIy
for centuries. IL seems worthy Of
being particularly noticed, that it
may no longer be neglected from
ignorance. 1t may be highly i'm
portant to travellers in our deserts
and prairics, in some parts ofwhich
water is known to exist below the
surface,

WHAT Is NOT CnhRGTY.--lt is not
charity to give penny to the street
mendicant, ct whom nothing is
known, while we haggle with Il poor

beat down II poor scamstrcss to

her wet clothes sewing all day, to
deduct from her pitiful remuner-
alton fthe storm delays her prompt

poor relative into your family, and

with q suporcIious air. and patron
age, as if God had made you, the
ricn man, of different blood from
the poor recipient, whose only crime

an extortioncr-not though you

The Dividends Ortho Louisville and
Nashville Rail Road.

The Hon. Litilctoa Cook, President Of
the Louisville, Memphis and New Or
leans Railway Company, in his report
to the Directors says:
Il come now to the consideration Of
the result Of the investments made by
the counties in the stock OF the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad. The coun-
t. OF Hardin, III the State Of Kentucky,
subscribed fox 100000 OF the capital
stock OF that company, and issued its
bonds in payment thereof; and for this
loan Of its credit the county and its
tux payers, OF their assigns, have receiv-
ed i'll the stock of said company 1884,
600, and in cash the sum of 1901, 800,
making II total of &93G,3J0. The coun-
ty Of Davidson in the State of Yennes-
see, also subscribed $4,000 to the
capital of said company, and it and its
tax payers, or their assigns, have rccciy-
el $G7G,3J0 in stock and $3O0,5l4 i'll
cash, or II total of$97G,004, and the same
relative results have accrued to all the
other counties in Kentucky and Tennes-
see, and to the city Of Louisville, in pro
portion to the amount Of their respect
i've subscriptions. The stock pays from
six to eight per cent, per annum divi-
dcnd, and sells readily for from seventy
five to eighty cents on the dollar, and is
intrinsically worth more than par. Tho
cash dividends which these counties re.
ceiyed have nearly paid off the bonds is.
sued in payment of their original stocl
subscriptions, and in a year or two more
they will have annually Il large revenue
ari.ing from their stock dividends, will
which they can pay their whole STATE
and county taxes, and have a handsome
surplus left, which they al devote t.
othel public purposes. just think o
it! A splendid commercial highwn,
right through their cent%rs, with it
countless advantages and blessings, anc
IL large annual income, for the mer
loaning of credit for II few years. Wa
there ever a people WHO hayerccciyea s.
much for so little ?"

Radicals to it also, The Democratic
loltrine is, that the Constitution is the
supreme law of the Union, to bcrcspect-
ed anl obeyed in all its parts, 1t Is to
be accepted as n whole, one OF its pro-
visions being ignored on distorted Tor
partisan ends. The amendments being
u part of the instrument, they possess

The whole is received by Democrats ~

ground in respect to tho amendments

Gratis two years ago. This being well

tions will fully express this determine
ton, They will take position on the
Constitution as it is, and demand its
Just aud equal enforcement throughout

sis they will advance to the removal OF
abuses in government, the restoration OF
sound principles of administration and
the relief of a tax ridden country.
