Two young gentlemen called upon
young lady the other night. The
mother of the young lady knew she
was not sick, and thought it useless to
sit up with her, so she set an alarm
clock in the room and fixed it so it
would go off at 10 o'clock. Time sped
on elysian wings (that means it got up
and dusted), and soon the induces ap-
preached the ''ten spot" just at this
time, while their "lOve-wilder'd and
idolatrous hearts were clinging to the
airy muisc of words that rippled from
the lips of beauty" the thing on the
mantel-piece exploded with crash,
and our heroes rushed simultaneously
for the middle of the street to prepare
for the coming earthquake that "erst
had smaoked its mumbling lips" They
sat up the rest of the night, till just be
fore day one of them saw the pint
he had to knock several doors almost
down before he could wake up the man
that had any to sell.

John H. Woodbridge.

We had the pleasure of listening to
the lecture delivered by this gentleman
at Antolnette Hall on Tuesday night
last, upon "Light and the Human Eye
and the relation they sustain to each
other. The lecture is gotten up in
elegant style, abOunds in good sense,
and is ornamented with beautiful fig
ures and pictures of the imagination.
1t was delivered in an easy and grace
full manner, and was received by the
entire audience with unqualified admit
ration. The concluding part Of the lee
ture, In which he describes the storm of
battle In which he had been deprived of
vision, and alludes to the red blood
gushing from the heart of a well be-
loved eOmrade who fell upon his left as
the last object he was ever permitted to
behold, was truly pathetic, and
brought tears 20 the eyes of many who
heard him and knew him in better DAYS.
The preparation OF the lecture has evil
IDENTIFY cost him a vast amount Of labor
and investigation under trying circum-
stances, and is we'll worthy the favor
and patronage Of kind and apprecia-
ting public.
Mr.. w. cOntemplstes visiting various
portions Of Kentucky and TENNESSEE
during the summer months, and We
cheerfully commend him 20 our breth-
rem Of the press and the public general
ly as = gentleman worthy of their es-
TEEN and confidence. The proceeds o.
the lecture amounted to about $45.

10 OUR CUSTOMERS.

Inasmuch as Agents selling the aold
styles or Cog Geared Machines have
circulated many reports prejudicial to
our gearing, we would say the success
of our machine (in keeping with the
present time) Is the certain death of the
old style machines, and the cry about
wearing out is an effort on the part of
our competitors to keep us out of the
market as long as possible, but they
may just as well try 70 keep day from
following night. Our success is GER
tain.
We want our customers to under
stand, if properly oiled, we warrant
the Wheel and Screw to outwear
the machines, while the cost of keeping
up the gearing in other machines viii
range from S25 to 500 each, making the
[" Superior" that much cheaper than
any other in actual outlay tor repairs.
The Gun Metal Wheel and Cast Steel
Screw are anti-friction in nature, and
being cut gearing, runs just as true as
the works of clock or watch. We are
truly yours,
Superior Machine Co.

Alex, the famous young runaway
horse, formerly the property of Mr..
Boyd NJ. Young, now belonging to Mr..
Jackson, ran away again last Sunday
with a buggy in watch Messrs. B. NJ.
Young and Lewis Dickinson were
riding. Both gentlemen jumped out.
Mr.. Dickinson escaped unhurt, but Mr..
Young's left knee was badly bruised
and sprained. The buggy was upset
and dragged only about twenty feet
and was damaged very little. 1t is
said that the horse was not scared, but
in making a short turn upset the bug
gy. The occupants were obliged to
jump out, and the horse thus got loose
and jsrked away from the buggy and
ran to the stable.

What is more exhilarating than to sit
for an hour and a half under the nasal
twang of a sermon that you have heard
hundred times, while streak of sun
shine about foot square is settled on
your back like a swarm of bees on a
limb, and "nine-on-a- bench" prevents
your budging. The wind blows thro'
the open window and feels like it had
just escaped from the hot-air chamber
of a nineteen inch, forty hole Charter
Oak stove, and makes you feel as if
you'd give half your interest in your
waiting dinner of beans and, onions for
a two-minute-and-a-h nap. Brother
B. mods assent to q laundering burst of
theological propositions that everybody
knows by heart and nobody doubts,
Sister c. raises her eyes and wipes her
specs, and thinks of her "home over
there" where the preacher is going to
demolish the fried chicken now being
put upon the spit, while little Johnnie
twists upon the bench and tries to tread
his title clear down the isle to the
door. A flea crawls up your breeches
leg and plays leap-frog in the fuz on
your shin and goes in swimming in the
drops of sweat that ooze down your
leg, and fly crawls over your nose and
stands on his head and whets his heels
and selects a good place to bore for lie.
Just here a happy thought strikes you
and you rub the flea, brush at the fly
and pull out your handkerchief and ap-
ply it to your bleeding(T nose and
grab your hat and walk hurriedly out,
shedding your paper collar at the door
and casting look fpity at the sweating,
sleepy audience behind you, wend your
way to some messy retreat where you
can spend the next hour in catching
that flea and getting your morals back
to where they started.

THIS INSTITUTION having passed into

buildings and grounds materially improved,
will be used, as heretofore, for the education
of boys and young men. The Trustees pro-
pose to lease the same for one or term of
years to some comp etent and enterprising
individual or individuals, hoping to make it
sneh school as shall be worthy the county
of Giles. Proposals. therefore, are solicited
and viii be received until the 18th of July

A Nuc1eus.

It has been suggested by influential
parties, who feel not only a general in
terest in education, but special and
vital interest in the early and success
ful establishment OF ''Martin Female
College, in Pulaski, that a school
should at once be inaugurated under
the auspices and patronage Of the trus-
tees and friends of that prospective in
stitution. We think the suggestion 4
good one. There viii have TO be a be-
ginning-a small beginning-at some
time or other, and we see no reason
why it may not be made now as well as
at any future time. The erection of
buildings and the Inauguration of this
institution is only a question Of time.
The munificent donation from the late
Thos. Martin is a guarantee of its final
accomplishment whether a single dol
lar be subscribed or not by others. But
a sufficient sum has already been sub
scribed, which added to the accumu-
lated interest upon Col. Martins be-
quest, would go far toward the erection
of buildings even this summer, and by
next summer, at farthest, it is believed
and hoped that our citizens win swell
their subscriptions quite large enough
to build. In the mean time why may
we not start school which shall be the
"Nucleus" of Martin Female College?
The want of room suitable for school
purposes, we are told, is the principal
reason. Well, grant that we have not
buildings exactly suited to the accom-
mediation of large female school, can
we not find room which would answer
for the sDsaH beginning such a school
would BE- likely to make? Why would
not the basement of the Methodist
Church answer? It is light and airy
in summer, warm and comfortable in
winter, and exceedingly dry at all
times. We inspected it thoroughly last
Monday, and Notwithstanding the
protracted damp weather and the ten
dency of everything to mildew, found
it perfectly dry and free from mould.
We think it could be made to answer
the purpose, and would suggest that
immediate steps be taken to secure it
and place it in repair for the opening of
a school this fall. 1t can be obtained,
we suppose, for reasonable rent, and
can be made to accommodate at least
seventy-five pupils comfortably.

The Lawrence journal of last week,
speaking of the cholera, says: "One
person, we learn, died in Pulaski in
three-quarteIs of an hour after being
attacked with this terrible disease"
This is not so. We have had nothing
Ike cholera here as yet. The wonder
is that the men who originate such
yarns as this don't take the cholera.
