..Thsrs shaII Bo No NIEht rhers.,
BY GRACE q. SLOUGH.

We have watched the dying day,
when there has streamed through the
western gates a golden glory akin
to heaven itself; and sitting in the
gathering shadows, while one BY
one the swinging lamps are hung
out above, we knew the night was
coming on, but amidst the calm, holy
stiffness, a thought has come of a
day whose brightness no shade of
night will ever dim, of q ''city
which hath no need of the sun,
neither Of the moon, for the Lamb
is the light thereof"
And have we not thought Of this,
when life's dark shadows have deep
ened around US, when over the soul
has swept some terrible tempest,
swaying il to and fro, crushing il as
the mighty oak Is shivered by the
winged lightning? All, il is then
we have seen the stars of Gods
precious promises, shining out in
the darkness; then we have felt that
there was One with US, who would
lead us ont 10 an Eternal Day
When pains furnace was hot with
in US, did not our Fathers breath
fan the flame? did not one loving
hand clasp ours, while with the
other He nodded our hearts TO his
will, fitting Us to dwell with Him,
where no night Of sadness will
wiring the breast with anguish,
where no clouds viii ever shade the
brow, where there viii be no
troubled sleep, from which the
weary wake to weep? Has He not
said, ''When thou passest through
the waters / viii be with thee!"-
Then trust Him, and when He takes
our hearts and lays them all quiver-
ing upon the heated anvil, know
that lie does it in love. Our Father
wounds that He may heal again,
and oh, what q soothing balm is that
which He pours into the wounded,
| bleeding heart!
Perhaps He has some labor of love
for which this night of sorrow is
| preparing US, then let us say, GA
/ thor, thy win be done," feeling that
He knows best, and drawing near 10
! the Saviour, kneel humbly at his
feet and toait till the morning shall
come.
Burdened heart, fee to Christ
He awaits to bear thee up amidst
the storm, and what night will seem
long or dark when thou art clasped
in his everlasting armsl Love him,
| trust Him; thou art His and He is
thine-thine to give thee that ''peace
which passeth all understanding. ("
Leaning upon Him, the night OF
death viii lose its terrors, and
amidst its clouds a light will appear
the light of morning. Oh, the
! joy of that awakening! when upon
! our unsealed vision shall burst the
glory of that upper city, when we
shall see our Saviour as he is, and
lCe shall be lake Him, walk with
Him along the shores of the river
Of Life and find rest; "for God shall
wipe away all tears, and there shall
| be no more sorrow nor DEATH"
Weary, mourning heart, be pa
tient, be prayerful, trusting in God.
Yet little while and the dawn viii
come, "and there shall be no night
| there"

Caught in his own Net.

This Is what usually comes ofplay-
ing with edged tools: \ fellow up in
Oregon thought he would be smart
and lust have little fun with young
lady on whom he had waited two or
three times. lie asked her what she
would do if 4 nice-looking young
fellow asked her to marry him. She
smiled oh, so gushingly, and looked
good enough TO eat, but said moth
ing. Then he asked her what she
would say if he asked her to marry
him. She threw her arms around
him. and rushed out of the room for
her hat and shawl. The poor feI-
low saws he was never married so
sudden in his life. Probably that
was the nearest she ever came TO be-
ing asked, and she thought fOOling
around with sentiment would be
dangerous.

JOHN WILLIAM KAYE thus writes
in one of his ESSAYS:


Il think with a shudder some
times, of what life would be with
cut Sunday-if day after day the
great wheel of the world went
round with its ceaselcss clatter. new
er a rest in motion, never a pause in
sound. l speak of the Sabbath only
in its original meaning, as a word
signifying rest. And in this sense
it j. by most men, and ought to be
by all, esteemed as the very great
est of all the blessings which the AL
mighty benevolence has bestowed
upon man. The worst Sabbath
braker of all is the migrate who is
not thankful when the Sabbath
comes round. lie may 90 to church
three times a day, and be austere in
all outward obServances, but he
breaks the Sabbath in his heart if
he rejOices when it is over. There
are many kinds of worship, and |
am humbly disposed to think that
the giving of thanks is not the least
acceptable of them. If il be true
that iO6Ordre est OrGTe, we are prav-
ing during six days of the week.
and may devote the seventh to
praise. He who thoroughly en-
joys his day Of rest lives from morn
ing to night in thankfulness to the
Almighty; the increase of praise is
continually rising from his heart
l do not envy the man who does
. not hail the advent of Sunday, and
| rejoice in the rest which it youch-
safes"

An Ingenious Instrument.


Droz, a mechanic of Geneva, pro-
duced a clock which excelled all
others in ingenuity. On il were
seated a negro, a shepherd and q
dog. When the clock struck, the
shepherd played six tunes on his
flute, and the dog approached and
fawned upon him. This wonderful
machine was exhibited to the King
Of Spain, who was greatly delighted
with it.
The gentleness of my dog" said
Droz, sis his least merit. If your
Majesty touch one of the apples
which you see in the shepherds bas-
ket you will admire the animals f.
deity.
The King took an apple, and the
dog flew at his hand barking so loud
that the Kings dog, which was in
the room, began to bark also. At
this the cOurtiers not doubling that
it was an affair of witchcraft, hasti-
ly left the room, crossing themselves
as they departed. Having desired
the Minister of Maine the only one
who ventured to remain to ask the
negro what O'Clock it was, the Min
lister did so, but obtained no reply.
DroZ then observed that the negro
had not yet learned Spanish, upon
which the question was repeated in
French, when the black immediate
" answered him. At the prodigy
tic Ef1nness of the Minister also
forsook him, and he retreated pre-
cipitately, declared that it must be
the work of q supernatural being.
We endorse the following, and
"second the notion"
"Peerless enc,
The fairest thing beneath the sun,
The sweetest flower OF mortal birth.
The smile OF Heaven, the JOY Of earth.
Then while our hearts shall feel a thrill,
That wakes for things too fair 10 fade,
On! WOMAN, we shall deem thee stlll
The dearest creature God has made"

What one Cotton Factory Can Do.


We publish the subjoined article
from the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
There is no good reason why such
institutions do not prosper as well
in the South as in the North. The
reason why they do not is simply
because our people do not display
the necessary interest and spirit.
GeOrgiR's example is one by which
our Southern sisters may profit.
Surpassed by several OF them as
cotton producing State, her people
turned their attention TO the deVel-
Opment of her agricultural and min
ing interests. The result is that
Georgia is far ahead of any Oh the
Southern States in the direction of
recuperation and restoration to
prosperity. 1t is Georgia's mining
and manufacturing interests that
have given her prestige over the
Others else. The spirit
and energy of her people have de-
yeloped these. Those among US
who are prone to croak and predict
failure instead of giving their aid
whenever factory Is to be built are
invited to read the following.
wherein they may see that a cotton
factory can be made TO pay as well
in the South as in the North, and,
indeed, for some reasons we will
not pause to enumerate, better too ::
"There are few people who are
fully aware of the benefits which
a cotton factory is to the town or
city where it happened to be located.
In order to give our citizens some
idea OF the value of manufacturing
interests, we give below some f.
CURES which will tend to show the
amount of money which the Angus
ia Factory Company had disbursed
here in the past six years-since the
war. We will premise by stating
that the company is only working
on a capital of six hundred thou
sand dollars. In round numbers it
has paid out since the war for

How Memphis is Interested in the
Jackson Road.

That the railroad from Jackson to
Memphis viii be built j., we sup
pose, beyond doubt. The almost
unanimous vote in Jackson and the
great rejoicing at the result. show
how keenly the people desire this
most important cOnsummation.-
Jackson i terribly in earnest. How
will this highway affect our inter-
ests When will the road be COM
menced, and what length Of time
will be required to build il? If
jackson commence the road by the
first Of July and completes it to the
Eayette county line by the first of
Decem Der, stance ofthirty miles,
II would at once draw the trade
from the upper portion of Harde-
man and EayCtte counties TO Jack
son. We may safely say Jackson
would get, in that event,
TEN THOUSAND BALES or COTTON
that now go to other markets.
When the cotton l. sold there, Jack
son would get the trade from the
rich section of country around Cen
teryllle and Whiteyille. and the
trade thus secured would be worth
one hundred thousand TO two hun
dred thousand dollars each year. So
long as the road terminates at the
EaYette line, this would be the case.
BY means Of the direct road to Nash
vile, through HuntingingdOn, this
route would furnish the people Of
Fayette the shortest road 20 the cap
ltRl of the State. One hundred aud
eighty-two miles is the distance
from SOmerville to Nashville.
through Jackson. If the road be
extended from the Fayette line in
this direction, at the rate of ten
miles each year, every addition TO
its length would increase the trade
of Jackson until connection was
made with Memphis. Suppose the
road should be built on a direct line
FROM JACKSON TO MEMPHIS.
This would cause it to pass several
miles north of SomerVille, and, in
that event, would draw TO Jackson
all the trade in the northern part
of Fayette county. How can these
results be avoided, and what RENE
dy can be applied so as to make this
benefit Memphis? There is but one
plan. Let the Raleigh road be ex-
tended through Bartlett, and thence
in north easterly direction, until
it meets the road from Jackson. We
should build two miles at this end
whilst they are building one at the
Jackson end. The Raleigh and
Jackson companies should unite,
and press the work from both ends
as rapidly as possible. The build
ing of this road with

would increase population and
stimulate production very rapidly
on It's whole line, until there would
be continuous garden from Mem
phis to Jackson. No road in the
South would run through a better
country, and one more capable OF
sustaining a dense population. The
business of Jackson and Memphis
would both be greatly augmented,
and fany road would pay dividends,
this would be the road.
We prefer that the road should be
built through Somerville, but the
location Of the road will depend
upon the amount of subscriptions
on the different lines to be survey

S2,6O7.OOO

Only small amount of the stock
is held out of the city. Over two
millions and a half dollars have
found their way directly into the
pockets of our citizens from this
factory in six years, besides the ben
efts derived from the increase of
population, etc. The factory has
paid out here annually more money
than it requires to support the en-
tire municipal government, and pay
off interest on the city bonds. Put
ting our population at 16,0O0--the
census figures-the factory has de-
clared since the war a cash dividend
of one hundred and sixty-two dol
lars to each inhabitant."

COUNT ZINZENDORF AND THE Dove.
Count Zinzendorf was great German
noble, and lived to do a great deal OF
good in the world.
When boy, he was one day playing
with his hoop near the banks of deep
river, which flowed outside the walls OF
a castle where he lived, when he espied
a dove struggling in the water. BY
some means the poor little creature had
fallen into the river, and was unable to
escape. The little Count Immediately
rolled a large washing-tub, which had
been left near TO the waters edge,
jumped into it, and though generally
very timid OH the water, by the aid of a
stick, he managed to steer himself across
the river to the place where the dove
lay floating and struggling. With the
bird in his arms, he guided the tub back,
and reached the land in safety.
After warming his little captive ten
derly in his bosom, the boy ran with il
into the wood and set it free. His
mother, who had watched the whole
transaction from her bed room window,
in trembling anxiety for his safety, now
came out. "Were you not afraid ?''
she asked. "Yes, l was, rather" an
swered the boy; "but could not beaI
that it shoulddie so. You know, mother,
its title ones might hare been tcdtching
for Il to come hODlep

FAMILY GovERNMENT.-The chief
difficulty in family government arises
from the fact that so few parents ever
learn to govern themselves. It was
said of old, that che who ruleth his own
spirit is greater than he who taketh a
city" The fact is, that the ruling of
his own spirit is about the last accom-
plishment ever arrived at by mortal
man; and the remark is equally true as
to mortal women. Hence, the govern
ment of children is poor enough, as a
general thing. In fact, it is, in the
many cases, no government at all, but
simply the venting of some fathers, or
mothers, or teachers spite upon q child
that has done something to stir up the
evil passions of ones nature. Some say
that the more they punish their chill
dren the worse they seem to grow.
That may very well be, if parents pun
ish them because they are annoyed or
angered at something they have done.
A parent should never punish a child
when he is the least bit ''put out" with
it, or for any reason whatever except
the highest good of the child itself.

4 recent issue of the Bloomington
Qll) Democrat, in speaking of the OBJ
jects of interest at their county fair,
says: "One of the cheapest and best
washing machines ever presented to the
public, and, withal, the invention of
woman, is exhibited by the inventor, or
inventress, Mrs. L. b. Hull, of Clinton,
Ull.), and is the object of universal at
tention, not only on account of its in
herent excellence as a machine, but be-
cause q woman's brain produced it. In
attempting to describe it, we will say,
first, that the tub in which the machin-
cry is placed is almost square in form,
and resembles the DOty, or more closely
that of the Worden- machine. In this
tub is placed a corrugated and perforated
concave cradle, designed to float in the
suds, and, by the upward pressure of the
water, exert sufficient resistance against
a corrugated cylinder turned by 4 crank
to cleanse the clothing, which is placed
between ehe cylinder and concave,
quickly and gently. 1t is claimed to be
the easiest worked machine patented,
and that it can be worked by a child" "

DRESs.-A writer in BldckDOOd, in an
article devoted to dress, says: No French
woman has reached the height of folly
and extravaganza in the line of dress
which has been reached by American
and Russian women, for whom more
work is done in France than for French
DANES or demoiselles. The cost of some
Russian women's gloves or stockings
would keep six families of weavers a
year. There are women at st. Peters
burg who think it quite a matter-of-
course affair to pay the journey of their
favorite artist from the Boulevard, Paris,
to the Newsky Prospect, that they may
take their exact measure for a corset
The reason why French fashions are
copied all over the world Is because the
French woman knows how to dress.
Dress is her main occupation in life. In
its adoption she uses taste and common
sense Judgment. She understands shape,
color, variety and fitness rs no other
woman does, drifts into the rowdyism of
dress which has, of late years, scandal
lied the world. Then, too, she knows
how to put it on and wear il. 1t is,
when dOnned, a part of herself. An
English woman cannot plan a tasty,
elegant dress, she cannot make it, and
she cannot wear it well when it is made.

TRUST YOUR MoTHER.-How many
girls trust all they know to their moth
ers? One of the most important ele-
ments in girls character is the mothers
trust in the heart. You should learn to
trust your mothers judgment, her taste,
her advice, her instructions, and never
conceal anything from her She knows
best and will give the best advice about
everything. If you are in trouble tell
your mother; if you are joyful tell her;
il you want to do right ask her advice;
and if you have done wrong tell her
your fault; 'Pll tell mother on you,"
said one lIttle girl to another, "tell her
them" replied the other, "you cannot
tell her anything naughty Of me that |
do not tell her myself" That is just
right, every little girl should tell her
mother the very naughtiest thing she
does. 1t is the surest way to do better.

1t is dangerous to live in n country
that is too prolific-Santa Barbara, for
example. Any place subject to a catas-
trOphe like the following should be
avoided as a residence: a singular acci-

by which one Mr.. Short nearly lost his
life. As he was working on a side hill
on his place, an immense water-meloni
weighing eighty-six pounds, broke loose
from the vine, and came laundering
down the hill in his direction. He Ell
deavOred to escape from its track, but
was prevented by becoming entangled
in the vines. On came the melon with
fearful velocity, and striking Mr.. Short,
threw him to the earth, and rolled over
his PROSTATE body. BY the most singu-
lar fortune he escaped with his life, and
with only a severe injury in his legs.

WoMAN's RIGHTS AMONG THE BIRDS.
On the whole, there seems TO be a sys-
tenn of Woman's Rights prevailing
among the birds, which, contemplated
rom the standpoint of the male, is quite
admirable. In almost all cases of joint
interest, the female bird is the most
active. She determines the site of the
nest, and is usually the most absorbed
in its construction. Generally, she is
more vigilant in caring for the young,
and manifests the most concern when
danger threatens. Hour after hour
have seen the mother of brood Of blue
grossbeaks pass from the nearest
meadow to the tree that held her nest,
with a cricket or grasshopper in hel
bSk while her better-dressed half was
singing serenely on a distant tree, ol
pursuing his pleasure amid the branches,
