Gone out Forever.

Like dropping, dying stars, our
dearly loved ones go away from our
sight. The stars of our hopes. our
ambitions, our prayers whose light
ever shine before us, suddenly pale
in the armament of our hearts and
their place is left empty, cold and
dark. A mothers steady, soft and
earnest light, that beams through
wants and sOrrows; a fathers strong.
quick light that kept our feet from
stumbling in the dark and treaeher-
GUS ways; a sisters light so mild, so
constant and so firm, shining upon
US from gentle, loving eyes, and per-
suading US to grace and goodness; a
brothers light forever sleeping in
our soul, and Illuminating our go
ings and coming, a friends light
true and trusty-gone out forever!
No! the light has not gone out. 1t is
shining beyond the stars, where
there is no night and no darkness,
forever and forever.

a Picture and a PIcture-DeaIer
SOId.

The Paris correspondent of the
Boston Globe tells this story:
Speaking of pictures, one Of the
neatest tricks i ever heard of was
played OFF the other day on a dealer
in objects of art. A gentleman ex-
amined his collection, bought a lit
tie ivory statuette and paid for il.
Then he said:
d" Please put it aside, and 1 will
call for it; also be kind enough to
take charge of this picture, handing
him a canvas.
Some time after second gentle
men made his appearance, examin-
ed a variety of articles, and at last
uttered an exclamation of delight as
his eye fell on the picture left in the
dealers charge by his customer.
And how much for that?" he ask
ed.
The dealer informed him that il
was not for sale, and did not belong
to him.
what pity said the gentleman,
I've fallen in love with il, and
would give 5000 francs for it, and
500 to you if you could procure it
for me- At the same time he slipped
500 francs into the dealers hand and
took his departure.
"The owner of the picture came
back an hour afterward, and was
asked if he would sell it.
Il have no thought of doing so,'
he replied. And then, you would
not pay its value. If j did sell it /
should ask 1000 francs for il; its
perfect gem.'
After little debating, however,
he did sell it, and departed with the
1000 francs in his pocket and the
little statuette he had paid for.
It is useless to add that the anna
teaur never called for the picture,
that it is still hanging in the dealers
shop, and that thai unfortunate gen.
tleman is out $500 francs!',

Eating Crow.

Old TOmpkins was a farmer in a
mountain region, who during the
summer turned his house into q ho-
tel for the accommodation of city
people seeking refuge from heat and
dust.
On one occasion the old fellows
boarders found fault with the quail
ity of the board offered.

''Now, for my part L can eat any

"Can you eat crow?" demanded
one of the grumblers.
"Of course l kim" replied Tomp-
kins; 'just as lief eat crow as most
anything. 'Taint bad eating, no.
how"
The boarders conspired, a crow
was shot, brought in, plucked and
prepared for the table. While it
was being cooked one of the con-
spirators obtained access to the
Kitchen, and contrived to baste the
bird with a copious dressing of
Scotch snuff.
The game was served up and all
hands assembled to see the old man
make good his boast. Knife and
fork in hand, he seated himself,
boldly carved a morsel and plunged
in between his capacious Jaws. A
small tear gathered in each eye, and
q subdued litter ran round the ex-
pectant crowd, but the old man was
game.
"CrOw, of course kin eat crow"
said Tompkins, and with a gulp the
dainty mOrsel disappeared. Anoth-
er bit was raised on his fork; q
smaller one this time, and passed in
to his mouth. The litter became
more audible.
''Crow," said the old man with q
gush, "sartan, kin eat crow, and
half choking another morsel down.
The laugh grew unmistakable.-
"Crow?" exclaimed the old man, ri
sing in disgust and thrusting his
plate away, 'Ikin eat crow but Pm

cUEsrs OF rHE HEARr.

They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
As the deep and shriil in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
And the voices Of sentiment mingle
In mountainous regions Of snow,
Till from hilltop to hilltop a chorus
Floats down the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight OF even.
The sound OF the rains distant cline. ?.
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts OF q shadowy time;
The slumberous sense Of seelusion,
From storm and inlruders alOOf,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter Of rain on the roof
When the spirit goes forth in its yeaTnings
To take all its wanderers home
Or, afar in the regions Of fancy,
Delights on swirl pinions TO roam;
quietly sit in the irelight,
The freight so bright aud 50 warm
For 1 know that those only who love me
win seek me through shelter and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
= should even the household depart
Deserted should not be lonely,
There still would be guests in my heart
The faces OF friends that cherish,
The smile, and the glance and the tone,
win haunt me wherever l wander,
And thus I am never alone.

Right or wrong.


The Clarksville Tobacco Leaf de-
hnes the issue between the people
of Tennessee and Andrew johnson
in the following pointed manner:
We are opposed to johnson because
his election would be an Endorsement
of his course in the war. We are
willing enough that Andrew John
SON shall think he is right and the
people Of Tennessee wrong, and that
he shall say so. We shall never
quarrel with him on that point:
but when he proposes that we shall
admit that we were wrong and he
right, then we do most seriously
protest that he has stepped far be-
yond anything that can be required
of US, and especially far beyond any
thing we are going to do. Andrew
johnson, in 1869, proposed his
Greenville resolutions, which de-
manded distinct remuneration of
the doctrines of secession as a here
sy. There was no issue of that kind
made, there was no necessity for
such issue. Secession was too dead
an issue to set up just for the pur-
pose of knocking it down. The
~ luHlluCL, uG-
clined to stultify themselves by
platform based on a dead issue, re-
surrected by Andrew Johnson
They saw at once the trick of John
son TO have them place themselves
in the wrong that his record might
have their Endorsement. He came
to Nashville and was known to be
there for the purpose OF having his
platform put through, while his
warm supporter, the Union and A
merican, warmly espoused the cause
of his resolutions. johnson de-
nounced the convention, and went
home very much chagrined that his
resolutions had not been adopted.
johnson has made the Issue SO dis
tinctly to turn upon a personal in
dorsement of himself, that he could
not now be elected TO Congress
without an Endorsement of his
course and a declaration that our
own was wrong"

sOo.x To BE uARRIED,
A SONG TO MISS "%**" '**s'sF.
BY QUILP, JR.

4 maiden is soon to be m arried;
Her beauty would dazzle your sight.
oh! the brightest star in the heaven
Is neither so soft nor so bright
As the eye OF this glorious maiden,
This queen-this angel Of light!
Her soul flows on like a river
A placid but deep-toned stream
Where sunbeams linger and quiyer,
And shadows most beautiful dream.
oh! her soul is deep as the river,
And mild as the shadows that dream.
Her form is rs bright as a vision;
Her hair luxuriantly falls
over shoulders OF Parian whiteness,
And bust that enraptures-enthralls.
Oh! fair is this beautiful maiden
With her bust that enraptures-
Her heart is a beautiful snowdrift,
Where his majesty, Love, has just trod,
And his glowing sun hath awakened
A beautiful bud on its sod,
And pure as star-sleams on the snowtiakes
Is her heart, and the bud on its sod.
May the choicest blessings Of heaven
o. loyeliest maiden entwine
Their strong, loving tendrils around thee,
Forever around thee and thine;
And like that on the eve Of thy bridal,
May the star OF thy future life shine,

There was always something ir-
resistably funny in what they used
TO tell about foppish passenger on
a Mississippi boat who, Gust for a
little fun" jumped on shore at a
landing, and rushed up TO a gswky
looking fellow at a wood-pile, ex-
claiming 'I've found you at lastl-
You're the man Pve been looking
forl" The gawky looked at him for
half a second, then Strengthened out
his arm like a jibboOm, and knock
ed the fellow overheard into ten
feet of water. Resuming his posi-
ton against the wood pile, he drawl-
ed out: ''Is there anybody else on
this boat looking for me?"

= The Memnhis Ledner -.

6B The Memphis Ledger says:
Andrew johnson, alias Moses, alias
Peter the Hermit, is swinging down
slowly through Middle Tennessee,
and will ere lOnginvade the western
end of the State. Calling himself
Peter the Hermit was a most unfor-
tunate but no doubt true allusion.
IN 1898 Peter inaugurated the cru
sades, and, in advane of the First,
lead host of peasants, scrfs and
beggars through Germany towards
Jerusalem. His army was badly
cut up by the Hungarians and Greeks
who found il impossible to restrain
them from plundering. Peter aban-
doned his people at COnstantinople,
leaving Walter Habenichts to lead
them into Asia, where poor Walter
and ms forces were slaughtered by
the Turks before Nicae. ANDY.
like Peter, will take care Of himself
and abandon his friends whenever
necessary. He turned ferociously on
the people of Tennessee in 1856, and
the people must beware of him in
1872.

EATING CROW.

"'Twas less than three short months ago.
He swOre he'd never eat the crow;
But now he says, Upon my word,
Crow is 4 luscious, wholesome bird!
And every day eat my fill,
And pick my teeth with corvIRe quill
Eat prairie chickens if you will;
With quails your craving stOmachs fill,
But perfect peace you'll never know
Till you, like me, cram full of crow"

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
BY KATE CAMERON.

Would you ana the fabIed fountain
OF which the aneients tell!
Would you try Its magic WATER?
Would you test the fairy spell!
Let me whisper you a seeret
II you meyer fret or scOld-
II you're always kind and gentle.
You never can grow old.
For though Time may trace its burrows,
And aye bring silver hair,
II you're joyous, good and loving.
You will be forever fais;
The heart thst is warm and trusting,
No winter can make cold;
And with summer in your spint,
You never can grow Old.
II you lack the charm Of beauty,
Or the rare gin Of grace,
You may still have something better
= cheerful, smiling face;
A face that will carry sunshine
Where all was dark and cold;
And while you make others happy,
You never can grow old,

Paper houses are among the latest
novelties in this coutry. They are
said to be as warm and durable as
houses built in the ordinary way,
and are much cheaper. The frames,
doors and floors, are of wood; the
paper with which the frame is COW
cred on the outside is heavy and
compact, and made more substantial
by being covered with q mineral
paint or cement There is an estab-
lishment in Pittsburg that has a
process for treating paper which
makes it much harder and tougher
than leather, and so elastic as to
resist almost any blow without per-
ceptible cOmpressiOnfrom the effects
of the blow, while it can be worked
very easily and cheaply. A French
inventor has a similar process, and
he is now in this country making ar
rangements for an exhaustive trial
ofthe material for ship armor, which
has been approved of by several na-
val officers who have seen it, and
who express the opinion that most
valuable service may be rendered
by it.

USE OF LEMoNs.-It is well
known that lemons, sprinkled with
