Dangers of Modern Life.

There is the profoundest danger OF
the collapse of that highest personal
life, the glory of which has been shown
us, before the confusion of the half
| lights and half-shadows of the new era.
Completely of every kind is the great
condition of the new life,-shades of
thought too complex to yield up definite
opinions,-shades of moral obligation
too complex to yield up definite axioms
of duty,-shades of insight too various
to yield up definite sentences of APPROX
al or condemnation for the actions of
others. On all subjects not strictly
scientific, on all those mental and moral
questions which determine conduct and
action, the growing sense of complexity
and difficulty is rapidly producing a re-
laxing effect upon the force of individu-
al character. In some sense men are
blinded by the excess of light. The
simple old moral law, "Thou shalt not
kill" "Thou shalt not steal, - Thou
shalt not commit adultery" "ThOu
shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods, "
is apt to lose half its meaning before
multitudes of distinctions which gradu-
ally shade off forbidden acts into the
most praiseworthy and delicate senti-
ments, and leave you wondering where
the spirit of the law ends and the letter
begins. There is, at all events, an i'm
mense growth of this spirit, not among
those who have the most hardship and
suffering, but who have least,-amongst
those who have chiefly reaped the adj
vantages of the new sciences and arts
in easy life, pleasant tastes, languid
hopes and loose faith. The fear is, that
| if civilization succeeds-and we trust it
will succeed-in raising the mass of
men to the same level of comparatively
satisfied material and intellectual wants,
there will be the. same disposition to
subside into the limited life of small,
attainable enioyments, and to let alone
the struggles for perfect freedom and
perfect life in God. If it were true
that, with the beating back of great
physical wants, the deepest hunger of
| human nature is to be laid to sleep, and
| life to be frittered away in small enjoy
ments, no one could look upon human
destiny without sigh. Perhaps it may
be thought almost an answer to this
fear to point out that with the growth
of the self-indulgent spirit there is very
apt to grow also very strong feeling of
the worthlessness of life,-a feeling
that nothing enjoyed is worth the cost
of obtaining it, that life itself is a
doubtful good, that the spring and elias
ticity of youth once over, and the sense
of duty smothered in a sea of specula-
tive doubt, it is rather from Incidence
than from love of life, that men should
prolong the dreary monotony of un-
solved problems and ungranted pray

The Portraits OF Christ.

The art of gem-engraving, since it
f1ourished during antiquity, has fire.
duently been claimed to have given to
the modern world an authentic portrait
of Cheist. One of the most notorious
of these attempts, in modern times, was
that Of the famous Emerald of the
Vatican" which was claimed to have
been engraved by the order of PLATE,
with an i,otGgliO head OF Christ, and
sent by him to Tiberius. The story
went further, that this gem had been
carefully treasured up by the Roman
and Byzantine Caesars, and their Otto
man successors, until it was paid by the
sultan to Innocent VII. as ransom for
his brother. The claims of this gem to
be contemporary portrait cannot, how
ever, stand the test of modern crltl-
cism. It is not antique nor Byzantln-
in style, but belongs quite unmistake
ably to the period of the italian revival;
while Mr.. King, an excellent authority
on such matters, says that the head is
undoubtedly copy of the head of the
Saviour in RaphaePs cartoon OF the
miraculous Draught of Fishes. ="
Other gems, claiming also to be authen-
tic, are known to be in existence. There
is one in the collection In Paris repre-
senting Christ without beard, which is
supposed to have been made by the
HISTORIANS of Persia century or two
before the fall of that empire. There
is also whole literature of controversy
concerning the authenticity of certain
coins or medals, of which several are
known to be in existence, but whose
claims to authenticity are certainly very
doubtful. The typical head of Christ,
however, which came to be generally
used in Byzantine art, was copied from
the gems representing Scraps, the
Egyptian god, whose worship became
very fashionable in Greece and Italy
during the last period of gum-cutting.
During the middle ages, many of the
classical gems underwent similar
transformation. Mr.. King mentions a
Silenus transformed into an abbot,
Caracalla was made Peter, and Jove be-
came John. In certainly one case, a
gem representing Leda and the Swan,
was supposed to represl Mt the visit OF
the Holy Ghost to Mary, and was used
as q decoration to the Shrine of the
Three Kings in the Cathedral OF Co
logne, in which their skulls were pre-
served.

relative yield of wheat while Minnesota
increased its production from 5000, 900
to Is, 900, bushels Iowa from 13, 700, 600

2,500,000. And still the boundaries Of
the wheat regions are extending toward
the West. No finer wheat can be grown
any where than in that section east OF
the Rocky Mountains which can be
utilized by irrigation. Should the ex-
pertinent of artesian wells succeed
generally as it has in few cases along
the line of the Union Pacific Railway,
the entire six hundred or seven hundred
miles between the Missouri River and
the Rocky Mountains-once called in
all our school Biographies the Great
American Desert-may in the next half
century become one vast wheat field.
Northern Minnesota and the central
sections along the line of the Northern
Pacific Railway will produce the finest
wheat in abundance. Manitoba gives
excellent promise as n wheat-producing
region; while in the Saskatchewan VAL
ley, extending from Lake Winnipeg 10
the Rocky Mountains, and the country
directly east of the mountains as far
south as New Yexico, there is an area
suitable for the production of wheat
which bids fair to afford an ample sup
ply of this great staple for centuries TO
come

Fresh Nutmegs.
From the panbury New.


An aged citizen of Memphis, Tenn.
sends us a letter of advice which we
appreciate and are thankful for. He
recounts his own sad experience, and in
closing, feelingly observes:
Bailey, my boy, you are going well,
but for Gods sake don't bite OF more
than you can chaw."
He thinks we use plug; he is mis-
taken.
Every family should have a now
screw-driver The borrowed screw
driver hasn't got any handle 20 il (; and
if it has it is split. The blade il too
blunt for the screw, and one corner is
gone. 1t slips and sticks into your
thumb, and breaks the screw into two
and throws you of your feet, and then
it gets lost, aud the owner comes around
for IL, and swears it was nearly new,
and valued mostly on account of its AS
sociations, and he wouldn't have had 1t
lost for ten times its value in solid gold.
You had better buy new screw-driver
at once.
Did you ever see n man fish around
in the bottom of tub of water for n
piece of soap? At the first he simply
reaches down upon il 30 pick Il right
up. and is very much surprised 10 find
that he hasn't got il. The he approaches
it more cautiously puts his hand over
it, and then comes down noiselessly un-
Ill he gets every finger upon IL, and then
saueezes it tight, and-misses IL. He
looks at it for moment before making
another effort, and fills up the interval
with a few remarks. The third attempt
is sort of semi-circle, described with
a great deal Of sagncity, but is n failure.
Other remarks follow. Then he makes
a succession of dives, and slops the
water over his clothes, and drenches the
carpet, and catches hold Of the soap
several times, and let's go Of IL again,
and screams at the top Of his voice, and
finally, in perfect despair, sits down ON
the floor and actually howls.

COLUMBIA, TENN, FRIDAY, MAY 80, 1873.

little and be much interested in the
time for meals to be served, and at the
dinner-table the captain of the lost
'Cherub' told his story. His ship was
bound from Honolulu to New Bedford,
| laden with oil and whalebone. When
| eight days out she had been dismasted
| in gale, and became SO strained that
the pumps had to be kept going con-
stantly, which, together with the loss
by salt water of all but small amount
of provisions, SO exhausted the crew,
that, out of 26 people who left Honolu-
lu in the ship, all but six had died from
exposure, hunger and thirst combined.
The lady was the daughter of a mer-
chant in Honolulu, going to the States
to visit her fathers relatives They
had been on the wreck 81 days, drifting
helplessly about when we picked them
up.
"Our fine fortune in fair winds con-
| tinued, and we went booming around
Cape Horn in terribly cold weather, up
through the southeast trades, across
'the line in the Atlantic. through the
northeast trades up ST. Georges chan
mel, and into dock at Liverpool on the
Tooth day after leaving San Francisco.
The Sea Horse had not yet arrived,
and as day after day passed, and still
she did not come, we began to lose all
interest in a ship we had beaten so
badly. After we had been three weeks
in Liverpool, one morning the papers
reported the arrival of steamer from
Fayal, and among the passengers were
the officers and crew of the ship Sea
Horse, wrecked on Flores, one of the
western islands. From the newspaper
accounts, it seemed the Sea Horse
had experienced a continuation of thick
weather after losing the northeast
trades, and consequently the ship had
been navigated by dead-reekoning.
Judging themselves clear of the west
ern islands, the ship had been away
two or three points, and brought up
ashore, about midnight, with a south
westerly gale blowing, or Flores. All
hands had been saved excepting Capt.
DAILY, who was drowned by the capsi-
zing of boat in which himself and 13
others were leaving the wreck at day
light on the morning after the Sea
Horse had gone ashore.
"The survivors were sent to Fayal,
and from there the British consul sent
them to Liverpool by steamer. We on
board the white Swallow learned
that, after Captain Adams heard of the
loss of the Sea Horse and her captain,
he got the draft for the money bet on
the race cashed, carried the thousand
dollars to the wners of the lost Ship
and had them to invest the money for
the benefit of the widow of Captain
DAILY.
The people whom we rescued from
the wreck left the white Swallow in
Liverpool The captain of the lost
'Cherub' and tho voung lady took a
steamer for New York, but I never
knew what became of the four men.
"There, boys said l. "that's the
end of that twister; you don't often
have two wrecks in one night. Now,
vamose this ranch"
"All right p cried the youngsters, in
chorus; "and good night, Mr.. Blue
Jacket"

Boy Training.

Why should we teach our boy that he
is to be a mere whistling, romping, tear
ing and wearing member Of the house
hold, while own sisters or women-ser-
wants work around him from weary
chime TO chime? II is not necessary TO
define the limits, "thus far shalt thou
go and no farther" Every thoughtful
mother can adapt her instructions TO tho
need, or TO the strength deftness Of her
boy. Why should he not make his own
bed at times Harry, Miss Edgeworths
Harry, in "Harry and Lucy" used to do
it, and, what was more, 20 the best of
my recollection, his father showed him
how A very picture Of manly boy no
was, growing mp evidently 10 be a Guy
Lussac or n Prince Rupert of our day.
Why should the boy leave his room n
bowling Wilderness Of boots and bats
and inky pocket-hankerceief? If he DO
made occasionally to set il 10 rights
himself, 20 get dust-pan and sweep mp
the sticks and stuff, he will at least have
an intelligent comprehension, another
time, of the coast of the confusion.
Teach him all the little convenianaes,
how to deport himself before his elders,
and the courtesy he owes 20 ladies, old
and young but teach him, also why he
is better fitted TO carry home the heavy
basket than Sophy, the servant-maid,
and when he should lend n helping hand
TO women, young or old. We hear n
great deal of imperfect sympathies,
nowadays, as a sort of bitter drop in tho
cup of welded life These imperfect
sympathies arc charged generally, we
believe, TO the account Of the masculine
race. Tones of poetry and hecatombs
of bleeding hearts are laid 10 the charge
of this new disorder. The disillusions
of married life Shall we lay all the
blame on our grown-up boys? When
the cara sposa discovers that the cakes
and caramels of courtship are succeeded
by tough butchers bills and sloppy ser

that she is 30 very used-up

only to Clothilde's childhood, but 30 that
of Charles, as well. She may or may
not, have the cookbook by heart but
very sure he is ignorant as n wild Indian
of the cost of the home. He may foot
il up, in dollars and cents, IL is true;
but for the forces. the physical labor,
the executive energy, the moral balance
required to keep all things even, he has
not the remotes idea. Teach him then,

A Tribute to the Marriage State.

Never was a higher tribute paid 10
the marriage state than given by the
married men who were passengers on
the wrecked Atlantic. The record OF
their fate is extremely touching. With
few executions they all persisted, refus-
ing TO desert their wives and little ones.
Wives begged their husbands to seek
safety by flight from the sinking quar-
ter-decl, but they never stirred. Hand
clasped in hand, husband, wife and
child went down together. In the su-
preme moment OF life wife and husband
forgot all past chickering's, and lost fear
of death in tho companiohship Of each
other. They rocked not Of the opin-
ions of the world, while the wav9s
swept over them and the horror Of sud
den destruction was imminent, but were
simply true 10 their highest instincts.
One such fact will outweigh volumes OF
argument in favor Of free love and easy
divorce.

Revolution in the Names of Paris
Streets,

The municipal council of Paris is
going to change the names of certain
boulevards and streets, being anx-
ious to suppress denominations exclu-
sively political" etc. Thus the name
of Zurich is to be given to the avenue
which is now called after La Refine Hor-
tense, in honor of Massena's victory in
1899, and the Avenue Josephine is to be
called the Avenue Belfort. In honor of
the late war, too, there is a rue de Ba-
zeilles, rue de Varise, rue de Civry and
rue de Petite Pierre. The name of
Chateaudun was long since given to a
fine street. In remembrance of the
defense of Paris, streets are to be called
after Henri Regnault, Goeb, Roch-
bruno, Frauchetti and one or two other
heroes. not belonging to the regular
army. Naturally, there is no mention
of Ernest Baroche. who fell so gallantly
at LIE Bourget, for his father was
minister of the empire. La Place Ma
poleon, Rue st. Armand, rue de Morny,
Rue Palikao and other imperial denom-
nations are to be swept away. The
Boulevard Hausemann is henceforth to
be called the Boulevard Hoche the
Pont Napoleon, the Pont National the
the Boulevard Pereire, the Boulevard
Charras the Rue Erlanger, the Rue
Duban and the Rue Abbatucci, the
rue la Bottle. Desirous-o of commemo-
rating the resistance of Paris on the I'd
of December, the municipal council
thought about giving the name of Bau-
din to a street, but there already exists
rue Baudin, called, it is true, after
the admiral of that name, and not the
deputy who fell on the barricades in
December. It will be remembered that
the Republicans for some time honored
the tomb of the admiral by mistake,
and only discovered the real resting
place of their BaGdin couple of years
before the empire fell. In consequence

THE RIVER TINE.
81 OWE MKREDfTl


o, a wonderful stream is the River Time!
Ard it flows through the realm Of Tears;
With a faultless rhythm and musical rhyme
With broadening sweep and a surge sublime,
As it bends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes of snow,
And the summer like buds between;
And the ears and the sheaves how they come and
go,
On the Rivers breast with its ebb and flow,
AS they glide in the shadow and sheen.
There's magic isle up the River Time,
Where the sOftsst of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And a voice a. sweet as vesper chime
And the Junes with the roses are staying;
AHd the name of that isle is the " Long Ago."
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bSsoms of snow,
They are heaps of dust but we loved them so,
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And a part Of an infants prayer;
There's a harp unswept and lutte without strings
There are broken VOWS and pieces of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear.
There are hands which are waved when that fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And sometimes we hear, through the turbulent
war,
Sweet voices we've heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the River is fair.
o, remembered for aye be that blessed isle
All the day Of life till night
And when evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closed to slumber awhile,
My that greenwood Of soul be in sight
