Beauty Sleep.

Sleep obtained two hours before mid
night, when the negative forces are in
operation, is the rest which most recu-
perates the system, giving brightness to
the eye and a glow to the cheek. The
difference in the appearance of person
who habitually retires at ten o clock, and
that of one who sits up until twelve, is
quite remarkable. The tone of the sys-
tenn, so evident in the complexion, the
clearness and sparkle of the eye, and the
softness of the lines of the features, is in
a person of health kept at concert
pitch" by taking regular rest two hours
before twelve o'clock, and thereby OBJ
tanning the " beauty sleep of the night.
There is heaviness of the eye, sallow-
ness of the skin, and an absence of that
glow in the face which renders it fresh
in expression and round in appearance,
that readily distinguishes the person
who keeps late hours.

TIE danger of standing in other men

THE danger of standing in other mems
shoes, or of wearing their cast-off habit
iments, is sometimes overlooked. NJ.
Chevalier relates, in the Journal de
Chimie Medicale, January, 1878, that a
young man of good family died in De-
cember last, because, instead of buying
new gloves, he bought pair of cleaned
gloves. Either from the cleaning hav-
ing left poisonous substance inside the
gloves, or from some poisonous insect
lodged there, he presently felt sharp
pain from an abrasion which he had on
the thumb. He bore it for a while, but
at the end of half an hour he was
obliged to tear the gloves off. His hand
was swollen and the spot black. Gan
creme followed, and death.

The condition of the poorer English
clergy is beginning to attract consider
able attention in that country. A vast
number of the livings of the English
Church do not exceed in value ESQ per
annum. while many do not exceed 9100.
The Princess Louise and the Marquis of
Lorne, sympathizing with clergy, now
propose to raise central fund large
enough to make it certain that no incum-
bent of any living belonging to the
Church of England shall have less than
goo per annum.

1--we in Goodwill Kingdom,
And for twenty years or more
have owned this model factory
just you step inside the door.
There are many unseen weavers
Busily ut work Within
But YOU you hear no whir or din.
See the Heart-wheel in the center,
Large and strong and never still,
With magnetic power moving
All the other wheels ut will.
Love. the fairest Of my weayers,
Turns this might wheel, my friend
Weaving countless threads of beauty
That no human strength can rend.
Round this wheel, revolving swiftly,
Watch the wheels of Hope and JOY,
And the triple wheels Of Duty
Busy in my life's employ.
How the weayers cheer each other,
And how quickly and how well
They obey loves gentle orders,
II would take me long to tell.
In this high and spacious chamber,
With its windows Paned with blue,
See the Brain-wheel, wheel of magic,
Weaving threads of every hue.
Thought, the wisest Of my weayers,
AT this wheel unwearied stands,
Until Sleep, with wary fingers,
Steals the distaff from her hand.
God upreared this noble structure
Twas a God-like gift, and free
And he put the wheels in motion
With this solemn charge to me:
"See you keep this building holy,
Fair without and fair within;
Keep the wheels all bright and busy,
An1 vopr work npsfainpd Dy sim
But sometimes old Care, on crutches,
Hobbies in, and clogs the wheels,
And then Sloth, the cunning vagrant,
Follows close behind his heels,
With a loathsome breath Of canker,
And his wallet full of dust,
And with stealthy step approaching,
Specks each idle wheel with rust.
And sometimes old Mother Gossip,
Gadding whereso'er she choose,
On her way from Tittle-Tattle,
Saunters in to tell the news;
And that gay coquette, Pleasure,
On her way to Folly town,
Stops to show her gaudy trinkets
And the fashion of her gown.
And sometimes poor, scowling Envy
Come to tell me, with whine,
That my neighbor owns factory
Twice IA large and fine as mine.
But these visitors come seldom,
And they do not tarry where
They must stand in mortal terror
OF my watchmen, Faith and Prayer.
So I live in peace and quiet,
And when anything goes wrong,
Or the days seem long and weary,
Take my harp and sing song.
For my weavers weave the faster,
And the wheels turn swifter round,
When touch my harp with gladness
And awake cheerful sound.

WHEN one learns that the United

Cincinnati Southern Railroad.

The formal acceptance Of the charter grant
ed by the Kentucky Legislature for the con-
struction through the State of the Cincinnati
southern Railway was delivered TO Governor
Leslie by w. A. Gum, chief engineer Of the
company, or rather OF the trustees. II the
building Of the road is delayedas long, proper
tionally, as il has taken the trustees TO decide
upon the acceptance or rejection OF the char
ter, that great thoroughfare will be ready for
the transmission Of passengers and freight
somewhere about the year 1900. A num-
Der Of routes have been surveyed good ma
ny more of them than were required for the
location Of the Pacific railroad across the
Rocky Mountains; still the surveys are I'M
completed, and people have no idea where the
road will run, IL il ever runs at all. There are
those who were among the most energetic
friends Of the measure who have become dis
gusted with the way the trustees have acted,
and who do not hesitate TO express their con-
yction that Cincinnati awaits future legisla-
ton, and that the road will never be built ex-
cept by Kentucky contributions. Under the
act authorizing the road il is 10 be owned and
controlled by the trustees, aud Kentucky con-
trbutions and subscriptions can only be in the
nature OF donations, no matter what the action
Of future Legislature may be.-C0sria-Jour-

Disastrous Fire -Lawrenccburg
in Ashes.

On last Saturday, about noon, fire broke
out in Lawreneeburg, Anderson county, KY.
and as the wind was blowing perfect gale,
and there being no 6re-engine in the town,
the flames had uncontrolled sway, and in a
very short space Of time the principal part Of
the town was in ashes, and scores Of families
were made homeless and pcnniless About
sixty houses were consumed, including two
large hotels, the bank, and every business
house save a small tin-shop. The flames
spread so rapidly that furniture and the con-
tents of stores were burned As soon as removed
nom the buildings, so that nothing was saved.
Through the exertions Of two or three men,
the courthouse, which is one Of the hand
soonest In the State, was extinguished The
loss will probably reach s2OO,OOO with very
little insurance. II is terrible disaster
greater in proportion to the value Of property
and number Of inhabitants than the losses Of
Chicago or Boston, Many families were rem.
dered homeless, aud deprived Of every means
Of subsisienee, and their suherings should APP
peal 10 ,he sympathies Of our people, and
cause them 10 respond literally to the call for
assistance.
The citizens Of Frankfort subscribed over
81 1000 for the relief Of the poor sufferers and
requested the Council to contribute 81 900
more.
A bill was introduced into the Kentucky
Senate, appropriating TO the relief Of the suf-

4 Visit 10 DanyiIle.

We made a brief visit to our neighboring
town Of Danyille last Monday. 1t being
County Court day, and Circuit Court still in
session, the weather beautiful agd bright
there were a great many people in town.
Every person We met seemed TO wear a cheer
ful appearance, which we attribute partly to
the hopes entertained by the Danville and
Boyle county people Of getting both the Gin
cinnati Southern railroad and the Central
University We want them to have the uni
versity, bat we know the railroad is coming
this way when built. We were glad to learn
that the mob spirit which manifested itself
there recently, in reference to Wilson and
Drye, has entirely subsidized. We hope civil
lied men will see the error and folly Of their
way, and not attempt TO divert justice from
its course by threats Of violence to Judge
whose duty il ia to see the law enforced and
justice dealt out to ALL
Two of the Senatorial aspirants, Colonel c,
T.. Bowman and J. ii. Bruce, were there, and
in the afternoon made some brief but appro-
pirate remarks hearing upon their candidacy
to quite large crowd in front Of the court
house. We had the pleasure Of making the
acquaintance of Captain CLARK, editor of that
sprightly paper, The Keataeky Itopls, and OF
meeting those genial gentlemen, Messrs. Mars
and Bruce, Of The Kentucky AdrOoatc, one Of
the best papers in Kentucky.

We have a genuine sensation to-day. The
cattle irade-the great event of Spring-has
opened and white has got in with lot Of
steers from Tennessee. You who have no ex-
perience of anything more important than a
train" or telegram" cannot Of course form
any conception of the thrilling delight with
which we hail the advent Of drove Of cattle.
They are our meat, and-no, not drink-we
don't drink anything now.
Before the arrival Of the cattle "msd dogs"
constituted what Sam Weller would have call
ed our "pekoolisr variety" But, to deal
fairly with the dogs, no purps, however NANCY,
are killed on suspicion. We first confine the
animal for week, without food or drink. II
he dies before the expiration Of his sentence,
he is a sane dog. If he survives, we load n
gun and turn him out, il he runs to the water
(which you know a mad dog will certainly do)
We shoot him. Does not this prove that, like
Fred Douglas, we may claim descent from
those who "came over in the Mayfowerf"
We have inaugurated novel style Of racing
A young gentleman made bet the other day
that he would beat Clay Powel's fast horse in
a race Of one hundred yards-and he did.
Can't give the time, as the gentleman who
holds the watch here had let it run down; we
learn from rumor, however, that the fast young
gentleman is in training for longer race.
