SUB sILENTIO.

Hush the night is calm and quiet,
And the crescent moon hangs low;
Silence deep and wide hath power.
And the south winds wander slow
Through easement where the curtain
Family rustles TO and fro.
Like a spirit softly signing
Fits it all the chamber round.
Where the dim lamp, fading dying
Just dispels the gloom profound;
Hangs above two happy dreamers;
By loves perfect promise crowned.
Even through the gates of slumber
To the shadowy land of rest,
He still clasps his long-sought treasure
Closely, closely. to his breast,
With the ardor of passion
Long denied and long repressed.
With his lips still warm with kisses
Close and clinging as his own,
Signing still in happy dreaming
For the joy his heart hath known
Sweetly, peacefully he slumbers
In the arms about him thrown.
And she gszed at him, thinking
Not of all herdreary years
Only of this isle of glory,
Reached with many doubts and fears,
over loves frail bridge of raInbows
Fading in mist of tears.
Then she nestles still more closely
To the heart SO kind and dear,
Whispering, "Love me, love me, darling
All my hope and rest is here,
And without thee life is nothing
But q desert cold and drear.
"Oh, that every night my siumbers
Might be so supremely blest,
Bounded by thy dear embraces,
Kissed from passion into rest;
i would ask no better haven,
Sheltered thas, aud thus caressed."
Fan them gently, odorous south wind,
And begone ON pinions fleet,
Nothing In thy nightly Journey
Shall thy wandering vision greet
Half as perfect in fulfillment,
Satisfying and complete.

From the Temperance Advocate.

A young man entered the bar-room
of village tavern, and called for a
drink. No. said the landlord you
have had too much already. You have
had deliriums treinens once, and | can
not sell you any more. He stepped
aside to make room for a couple of
young men who had just entered, and
the landlord waited upon them very
politely. The other had stood by 81
lent and sullen, and when they had
finished he walked up to the landlord,
and thus addressed him: Six years
ago, at their age, stood where those
young men now are. | was man
with fair prospects. Now, at the age
of twenty-eight, L am a wreck, body
and mind. You led me to drink. In
this room | formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me a few
glasses more, and your work will be
done | will soon be out of the way !;
there is no hope for me. But they can
be saved they may be men again.
Don't sell tito them. Sell it to me,
and let me die, and then the world
will be rid of me; but for heavens s
sake sell no more to themp The
landlord listened, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter, he exclaim-
ed, God helping me, that is the last
drop | ever will sell to any onep And
he kept his word.

SINGULAR CASE OF DEPRAvITY
A letter from Greenville, Tenn, says
the Pantograph, relates the following.
THE cholera at Greenville has devel-
oped a few cases of monstrous deprav-
ity, one of which l will relate without
mentioning names. An old gentleman,
probably seventy years of age, who
lived mile or two in the country and
noted for his recklessness and utter de-
fiance of the laws of God, came into
town one day and passing down the
street cried out that he intended to
spread cholera through the town. He
then went to an undertaken and wanted
to know if he could make coffin and
what he would charge. The reply was,
that if he wanted it before his death,
he would charge him twenty-five dol
lars, but if after, he would charge only
fourteen dollars. He told him to pro-
ceed with the matter, but to be sure to
make it out of two inch plank and
leave it open at both ends, so that It
the devil comes in at one end he could
escape at the otherl That night he
was stricken down with the cholera,
and by next morning was a corpse.

DANIEL WEBSTER'S GREAT AR
GUMENT.

In the spring of 1925, Mr.. Webster
was much concerned in the discussion
then going on in the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington upon the
tariff. One morning he rose very early
earlier even than was his custom-to
prepare himself to speak upon it.
From long before daylight till the
hour when the House met, he was
busy with his brief. When he was far
advanced in speaking, a note was
brought to him from the Supreme
Court, informing him that the great
case of Gibbons VS.. Ogden " would
be called on for argument the next
morning. He was astounded at the
intelligence, for he had supposed that
after the tariff question should have
been disposed of, he still would have
ten days to prepare himself for this
formidable conflict, in which the
constitutionality of the laws of
New York, granting steam
boat monopoly of its tide-waters, should
be decided.
He brought his speech on the tariff
to conclusion as speedily as he could,
and hurried to make such preparations
for the great law argument as the
shortest notice would permit. He had
then taken no food since his mornings
breakfast; but instead of dining he
took moderate dose of medicine and
went to bed and to sleep. At 10P. NJ.
he awoke, called for bowl of tea and,
withoutothe refreshment, went imme-
diately to work. To use his own phrase,
" the tapes had not been off the papers
for more than "a year" He worked all
night, and, as he has told me more
than once, he thought he never on any
occasion had so completely free use of
all his faculties. He hardly felt he
had bodily organs, so entirely had his
fasting and the medicine done their
work. At9A. NJ, after eleven hours
of continuous intellectual effort, his
brief was completed.
He sent for the barber and was
shaved, took very light breakfast of
tea and crakers; he looked over his
papers to see that they they were all
in order, and tied them up-he read
the morning journals, to amuse and
change his thoughts, and then he went
into court and made that grand argu-
ment which, as Judge Wayne said
above twenty years afterward, releas-
ed every creek and river, every lake
and harbor in our country from the in
reference of monopolies." Whatever
he may have thought of his powers on
the preceding night, the court and
the bar acknowledged their whole force
that day. And yet at the end of FIVE
hours, when he ceased speaking, he
could hardly be said to have taken
what would amount to half the re-
freshment of a common meal for
above two and thirty hours, and, out of
the thirty-six hours Immediately pre-
ceding, he had for thirty-one been in a
state of very high intellectual excite
ment and activity-George TcknOr.

up which the form of an Indian war
rior was struggling.
My child, my childr' was all the
woman said, and then Rufus. Bransou
saw that the bundle borne in the In
dian's arms was the form of their only
child, little Maggie.
Firm of heart, and with nerves as
steady as the rocks around, the father
for a moment actually quailed and
covered under what his quick sense
told him was the deadly peril of the
little one.
But he was quick to recover.
The Indian was drawing away; step
by step he was increasing the distance,
and as he occasionally glanced back
ward, the parents saw in his hideously
painted countenance, the fell purpose
that actuated the abduction.
God aid mel" Branson muttered
as he raised his rife, glanced through
the sights, and touched the trigger.
The Indian started violently at the
shot.
He was hit, but not badly, and with
ayell of devlish triumph, he passed
upward.
Too low by couple of inches, -
said low, calm voice, at the settlers
elbow.
Branson started as though he him
self had been shot.
Where has that man come from?o
Who is he? Neither had seen him
approach.
But there was no time for explana-
ton. The stranger, a man rather be-
low than above the ordinary height,
whose fine, athletic form, was fully
displayed by his closely-ftting buck
skin garments, stepped forward few
PAGES, and grimly planting his left foot
in advance, threw up an unusually
long rife as though preparing to fire.
For Gods sake, stranger, be careful
of my childr' criend Branson, while
the agonized mother muttered an in
audible prayer.
Its our only chance. / know that
Indian, was the quick reply, and the
sharp click of the hammer as it was
drawn back, told that the critical mo-
ment had come.
By this time the Indian had nearly
reached the summit of the steep
That he was wounded now became evi-
dent, as upon q broad ledge of rock he
rested a moment.
The opportunity was seized by the
unknown.
Although the savage had taken the
precaution to hold the child up in
front of himself as shield, covering
nearly the whole of his brawny chest,
but leaving his head uncovered, the
stranger did not hesitate in making
the shot. For one second, as it gained
its position, the rife wavered, and
then instantly became as immovabfe
as though held with wise. With
clasped hands and straining eyes the
parents watched that statue-like form
upon whose skill so much depended.
Suddenly a sharp report rang out,
the white smoke drifted away, and as
the vision became clear, they saw the
savage loose his hold upon the child,
reel wildly for an instant, and then
pitch forward upon the rocks. 1t may
be imagined that the father was not
long in reaching the place where the
child lay, and in few moments more
the little one was in its mothers arms.
Tell US who you are, that We may
know what name to mingle with our
prayers, " said the mother, as the stran-
ger prepared to depart.
My name is Daniel Boone" he said
and was gone.

Anglo.saxon Civilization Reversed.

A Virginian in Columbus, S. c.,
writes to the Richmond Enquirer !:
Our City Council is a rare menagerie,
with Catfish Dick looming up darkly
as chief among them; streets all grow
ing up with grass; no gas, no market
house, no culvers, and the waterworks
leased out to a speculator on speeula-
ton, and the people crying out daily
for pure water. To whom? To lot
of ignorant blackguards who are their
masters, Catfish Dick & Co, who know
no good but gain. Vote for the Radi-
Gals in November and make duplicate
of all this in Virginia, or vote with
her white people and continue the
prosperity which has naked the term
of Gov. Walker. God bless Gilbert

Pat Sells a Rerenue Officer.

The Madison Courier tells this Of
revenue officer who was sent into the
illicit whisky distilling district in Ken
tueky. He knew illicit distilling was
going on, but he could get no basis to
work from. Coming to an Irishman
who was tolerably drunk, the officer
tapped him on the shoulder, and said:
p" My man, do you want to make ten
dollars?" Is it ten dollars p said
Pat, sure an | do" Then" said
the officer, show me private still.
"I'll do the same follow me, yer
honor" The officer followed across
lots and fields to the camp of a COM
pany of soldiers that had been sent
there to aid the revenue officers. The
soldiers were in line-dress parade. DO
you see that red headed man? asked
Pat, pointing to one of the soldiers.
" Yes, replied the officer. He is,
said Pat, my brother; he's been in
the service twelve years. He'll be q
corporal after while, but he is a pri-
vate still" Ten dollars gone and no
illicit found" moralized the officer as
he wended his way back to his hotel.

JOHN NJ. DRIVER, NJ. D.
WAvERLY, Aug. 10, 1873.

w <AN nus ~ AOfCs
This is to certify that / have known
Captain w. w. Hobbs intimately for
about seven years, and knew the fam
lily well several years previous to the
time that / have been intimately ac-
quainted with him. / have been his
family physician for six years
past, during which time he has had
several attacks of severe coughs,
which, together with other indications,
have induced me to believe there is :.
strong predisposition to pulmonary
consumption. | have frequently ex-
pressed my opinion to him, that he had
a strong predisposition to consumption,
and that he should be very careful not
to expose himself to damp and cold;
if so, he would sooner or later in life
die of consumption. During the spring
of 1872 he had severe attack, princi-
pally affecting his lungs, at which time
it was my opinion that he never would
have any more health. | believed that
he would go off in consumption. |
think he has inherited the disease. His
father, three or four sisters and a
brother have died with consumption,
and he has a brother now lingering
with the same disease. As his family
physician and a friend, / have admOn-
ished him in regard to exposure and
the building up of his general health.
Inmy opinion Captain w. W. Hobbs
health suffered in consequence of the
close confinement ofhis Office as Comp
troller of the State, change of locality,
diet and water. think the resigna-
ton of his Office as Comptroller OF, the
State, was duty to himself and fam
lily. w. NJ. SLAYDEN, NJ. ID.
As to my continued ill-health, while
in the city, | respectfully refer those
interested in this matter, to DIR. w. vi.
Wright, Superintendent of Prisons,
and DIR. j. X. Buist, one or the other
of whom was treating me all the time.
As to my official acts while in the Office
of Comptroller, invite a rigid inves-
tigation, and the strict scrutiny of an
interested public. In justice to his
Excellency, Gov. John &. Brown, /
will state that while we differed upon
one or two questions of law, our rela-
tions we're of the most pleasant char
aeter; that he manifested lively in
terest in the success of my administra-
ton; was my daily adviser upon all
important official matters, and refused
to accept my resignation, which was
rendered one month prior to the ac-
eeptance. / will further state that the
present incumbent, the Hon. Jno. Q.
Burch, never approached me upon the
subject of my resignation, either by
act, word, insinuation, or otherwise;
and that did not know that he was to
be my successor until he handed me
his Commission to take charge of the
Office. after my resignation was ac-
cepted. Very Respectfully,
w. w. HOBBS.
