novel advertisement in the way of a PAM

Time rcjuycnated, and going at a faster
gait than that in which we used to have
him pictured to Us IN our scho0l-boy's FL
ements of Mythology. The old man, like a
sensible person as he is, still retains his
scythe in his lett hand, as evidence of his
love for agriculture, but in his right is a
watch, OF Elgin make, which he has chosen
in preference to his hour-glass. This
watch he has obtained of W. II. Calhoun
II Co., corner Of the Pebble Square and Col
lcgc street, in Nashville. and with his new
purchase starts on the New Year But,
farther notice of this new device is unnec-
es.ary. rs we enclose a number ofthem in

will add that Mcs.rs. W. II. Calhoun Il

Winter Thoughts,

We are having genuine, unmistakablc
witnesses, this Wednesday morning, of the
fact that 1877 is growing old. True, the
rude angles OF the rough bows are not yet
palpable. The foliage that hid them from
view still trcmbles to the chilly breeze,
but ever and anon the leaves 90 2ig-zag-
ging back to earth as if to teach man his
destiny and Illustrate the fiat Of Jehovah
must return. And this thought makes Us
solemnly contentcd on this murky day, for
we have found in our pilgrimage on earth
thus far that life is what 4 great mar said
it was:
"W0r with all things,
And death to all things, and disease to
most things,
And pangs, and bittcrnass.'
And as we rumiuate this initial day OF
Winter, our heart blesscs God for that old
fashion, as Dickens calls it. Of death.
Death to what! Not to the noblcr essences
of na%turc-surely not. But death, we
hope, to the petty meanncss manifest on
every hand--to the hard-heartcdncss of big
by the devil, to sway like lords over our
own species. AS we watched this morn
ing the curling smoke eXuding from chin
ncys here and there, we thought, how hap
by tie inmates ought to be. But, oh
how many the coming winter may not
have the fuel wherewith to start the curl
ing smoke. Poor men-poor women
poor children! And yet, great fat mem
bers o%fchurches will tclHthem to trust in
God! What an insult! 1t may do for the
man who has his winters supply laid in"
to trust in God, but it is an insult to talk
thus to the poor creature who knows not
where a meal tomorrow may come from.
And winter which shakes the foliage
down, and closes up the bright flowers,
warns Us to begin u work of charity
But winters congregation is composed of
hcartleis ones, whose love for self shuts
out all love for others. Yet, sweep on, we
fretful blasts. through the bOughs that
PTNal Ger 'lldlS lnnUiIldilty 10 HldI.
Sweep on, for blessed be God, We all shall
die one day, and thcn--oh Meni Money
will not "buy out the law" nor suborn
witnesses. Church fanaticism, social ny
pocrisy, political rascality, false philan-
rampant purity, turn-coat popu-
and interrupted chastity, will lind a
portion with the sinfulness they condemn
ed. And this is why we feel solcmnly-
this cool Wednesday, with II
atmosphere about us. and the grand

He asked for supper, made no farther in

LOVE THROUGH A SPEAKING
TIRE.

There is story told of a young man
who got into trouble through his persis-
tent folly in reading the newspapers 1t
seems that he saw an account of how
lovers in Seville, when they are forbid
den to visit their hearts delight, stand
under the young ladies' windows at night,
and converse with them through hollow
tin tube madein sections, so that it can be
shut together like spy-glass and used as
a cane. This youth loved damsel whose
father regarded his loves young dreams
as az inferior kind of nightmare which
had to be shaken off at all hazards. So
he refused TO permit the dreamer to come
to mis- house. Well, this infatuated one
went right down to timer and procured
about forty feet of tin tubing, which
closed up into the smallest possible space.
TEEN he used to go round in the evening,
uureef his speaking trumpet, and run it
up to the second story back window,
where his angel was, and rCOst out on
the fence, whispering ali kinds of sweet
things along through that forty feet of
pipe. This was all very nice as far as it
went. But one evening the eagle-eyed
old man came to the room door with a
pitcher full of hot water IN his hand and
sent his daughter off suddenly en- an er-
rand. Then the despicable old man called
down the pipe in falsetto voice until
the youth placed his ear against it, and
then! There was only about quart
of hot water, butt was sufficient 10 make
