EIGHTEEN MONTHS WITHOUT Foo

EIGHTEEN MONTHS WITHOUT FOOD.
In the Ursuline Convent in Nor
risanai resides sister Agatha, nun
of the order. who has not, 1t IS said,
for the past eighteen months eaten
food of any description. She has
many times tried to eat, but in vain,
as every morsel of food Is lmme-
diatelv elected from her mouth.
Several eminent physicians VINO
have studied her case say that the
stomach is nearly closed, and that 1t
is impossible to pass food into that
organ. 4 few spoonfuls Of weak
ened wine are daily administered.
but the greater part of this, too, the
stomach rejects. Small, however,
as the quantity retained is, 1t IS the
only nouriShment Of any sort that
Sister Agatha has had for months.
When it was ascertained that she
did not eject the blessed Sacrament,
the Lady Superior in charge OF the
Convent obtained some of the I'M
leayened bread from which the con-
secrated waters are prepared, in the
the life of her poor sister; but this
was as sunsuccessfulas as otherattempts.
EVERYTHING that medical skill could
devise. or the kindness of the Sisters
suggest for the relief of the invalid,
has been done.
Sister Agatha is very cheerful I'M
der the great affiiction. and faithfully
attends so far as her decreasing
strength will permit, to her religious
duties. She sits up part of the day
and occasionally busies herself with
her needle. She grows weaker and
weaker, however, but does not muir
mur. and awaits her dissolution with
calmness.

years, suddenly suspends them, and
thenceforth for years processes in

Nearing the Shore.
Fcr ,he FaretteviIie obscrrer

For the Fayetteville Observer
When the seaman CONES near
the shore, after a long iand weari-
some voyage, he discovers in The
air the smell Of the turf, the grass,
and the leaves. These scents
come upon the land breeze from
off his native shore. And when
in sight of the dim borders Of land
a JOY full change comes over his
feelings. The sight before him
drives away all nausea-his eyes
grow brighter--his heart gets
stronger-the visions of friends on
the parapets plainer--the shouts
of applause louder, and just now
amid the civilizations of all on
board and shore the vessel casts
anchor--the sailor steps proudly
ashore, and joins in the universal
shout of, God bless you--gotten
home at last,
Is it not so, with all the good
people who read the OBSERVER,
that the land breeze blowing off
from the heavenly shore, brings
to you odors fresh and sweet 2
Do you not have glimpses of your
fatherland, which cause you to
forget the sicknesses OF this life,
and make you hopeful Of getting
to shore? Behold the inherit
ance. See the shining angels.
Hear the voices of your loved and
lost.
Listen ! the children call to you
amid their angelic mirth. Look
upon the captain of your salvation.
Be firm, prayerful, and full of
faith. You are nearer home than
when you first started in that d.
rection. While you read you are
coasting that glorious country. In
a few hours you will enter its
blessed precincts, and rest from
all yonr troubles Not until you
are stranded on the other bright
shore, will you know the blessed
ness of home, and the joy that
awaits you. Your natural eye
and ear have never seen nor heard,
neither has your heart ever con-
ceived how glad you will be when
you get TO your fathers house and
join in the music of the skies, and
feast upon the fruits of immortali-
ty.
There happier bowers than Edcn's bloom,
Nor sin, nor sorrow know"

and its Effects" "Let's cross over
the river, and rest in the cool
shade" BROTHER Bob.

by music on piano, accompanied
by the we'll trained and highly
cultivated voices OF about rs lit

about 6 young men. After this
rich feast, then came spicy speech

and boys, then compositions by

charades, speeches, dialogues, sing

tainment continued until about l
o'clock. Tosay that everybody was
highly pleased would be say ing
too little, for the crowd was per-
fectly delighted. Miss Arie Jones,

PETERSBURG, TENN, July 10, 1871,
Mr.. EDITOR - The monotony OF
dull times was broken in this vii.
lage on Saturday last, by the
meeting of the Farmers Club.
Notwithstanding the excessive
heat there was q large crowd in
attendance, composed principally
of the yeomanry of the country.
Considerable interest was mani.
tested by all present. President
Stone announced in q concise man.
ner the aims and objects of the
Club. Mr.. Martin, of this county,
was not present, but his essay was
read by proxy, Mr.. Shofner, of
Mulberry. Mr.. Martin gave some
interesting facts concerning the
resources Of the valley OF Cane
Creek and its adaptability to the
culture of the grasses, etc. After
the reading of the essay, Capt.
Tolley addressed the people upon
tie changes necessary in our pres.
ent system of farming. His ideas
upon the mode of educating the
youths of our country were gener.
ally well received. He spoke
earnestly in behalf of the dignity
of labor, and taking the address in
toto it was sound and practical.
After the address the necessary
steps were taken to organize a
Club here, and next Saturday was
appointed to meet and organize a
Club according to the constitution
made and ordained for such pur-
pose.
Then came the exhibition of
fine saddle and harness stock,
blood cattle and hogs and fine
looking men, ct cetera all of
which gave considerable eclat to
the occasion. Yours, CITIZEN.
