Life is like roll of costly material
passing swiftly through our hands, and We

Life'S Better Moments.

Life has its moments
OF beauty and bloom;
But they hang like sweet roses
On the edge of the tonb.
Blessings they bring us,
AS lovely as brief,
They meet us when happy,
And leave US in grief.
Hues of the morning.
Tingins the sky;
Come on the sunbeams,
And Off with them fly;
Shadows of evening,
Hang soft on the shore,
Darkness enwraps them
We see them no more.
So life's better moments
In briIliance appear,
Dawning in beauty,
Round US they linger,
Like shadows of even,
Would that we, like them,
Might melt into heaven.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE New
CABLE.-In the cable just laid across the
Atlantic, three different types of cables
are used, each of which embodies features
distinct from the others, and which have
been suggested by previous experience.
These types, known as A, b and G, are
the shore ends, the intermediate cables, and
the deep sea cable, capable of meeting any
contingency that ight arise from coasting
navigation, and extending from three to
| five miles out according to circumstances.
The intermediate cables are of lighter and
slightly varying patterns, and are contln-
ued from the shore ends for distances of
from $50 to $50 miles, when they are
joined by the deep sea cable, which is OF
still ligter design. The conductor in
each case is a strand of seven copper wires
insulated with gutta-percha, prepared ac'
cording to Mr.. Willoughby Smiths system,
alternating with Chattertons compound,
the cores being covered with a serving Of
jute yarn stepped in a solution of preserva
tive mixture The outer covering Of the
shore ends consists of twelve strands, each
formed Of three iron wires, served with
yarn, and passed through Clark's com
pound, which contains silica. This is whip
ped with fine strand of jute, aud agar
passed through the compound. In another
type of shore end the served core is CLOSED
with twelve wires and finished as in th'
previous case. The intermediate type
are similarly constructed, the differenc
being in the size of wire which forms th
outer covering. The deep sea cable ha
its core closed with ten strands of wire anC
hemp, each strand being passed through
Clark's compound. The metallic portions
of the cable are thus efficiently protected
in proof of which it may be mentioned tha
portions of cable thus made have been re
covered after three years immersion il
the Atlantic, and have been found as pei
feet as when they left the factory. Th
core of the new cable having been origi
naly intended for longer route than tina
Eow decided upon, was made of a heavie
section than it otherwise would have beer
so that it possesses a very high speaking
capacity, The new cable follows cours
to the north of the route over which the lin
of 1865 was laid, and it does not approac
the latter nearer than thirty miles, exceE
, at the shore ends at Valentia, and Heart

DANIEL WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND

DANIEL WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND
w hen the dinner was over, Mr.. Webster
In his most bland and courteous manner,
approaching Mr.. Stuart and myself, invit-
ed US to accompany him in his carriage
PACK to Washington, suggesting that he
would be pleased if we would 60 with him
also to the opera, where Jenny Lind was
to regale, for the last time, Washington
audience with her charming minstresy
There was, of course, DO refusing such an
invitation, SO we hurried forward, with
glowing anticipatiops of enjoyment, to the
appointed scene of entertainment. On ar
irving at the door of the opera house Mr..
Webster entered in his grandest manner,
and slowly passed down the central aisle
OF the building. 1t CHANGED that Jenny
Lind was then on the platform, and was
about to commence singing our inspiring
national anthem, " The Star Spangled Ban
ner." As SOON as Mr.. Websters appoach
was perceived the assembiage spontane-
ously broke forth with tempestuous ap-
plause, evidently recognizing it as re-
markable coinc dence that the renowned
defender of the constitution should have
happened to come in at the very moment
that the sacred emblem of the nations lib
erty and union Was on the eve of being
rapturously apostrophized in song. So
soon as the audience settled into quiet
ude the inspiring tones of Jenny Lind's
marvellous voice was heard. Never, either
before or since, have l been made so over
10 7
was of the commingled power ofmusic and
sentiment. The whole concourse really
seemed to be electrified. Mr.. Webster
was so transported with delight that he
actually seemed almost to become uncon-
sclous of the presence of others, and hum
med very distinctly in unison with the
varying tones of the songstress. All the
enthusiasm of his soul seemed to have been
kindled into fame ; all his patriotic pride
to have been awakened ; and his whole
moral nature appeared to have been touch
ed and inspired by the serepbic sounds to
which he was an enraptured listener.
When the song had been concluded, Mr..
Webster, as if impelled by sense of the
official duty, to offer, in the name of the ma
ton which he felt himself entitled in some
degree to represent on this occasion, the
formal tribute of its respect, rose from his
seat, and, stepping forward to central
position between the audience and the plat
form upon which Jenny Lind was standing,
he made her one of the most honoring and
majestic bows | ever beheld The amiable
and accomplished recipient of homage as
unexpected as it must have been gratify-
ing, manifested something of graceful
and blushing embarrassment, but courtesied
notwithstanding most profoundly in re-
sponse upon which the assembled multi
tude gave vent to their delight in most
vociferous applause. A second bow was
administered, with precisely similar accom-
paniments. A third bow was rendered
whan the charming " Swedish Nightingale,
as she Was called, incontinently took wing
and became invisible to our fond and ad
miring eyes, perchance forever. -Ex-Goc

The weather, Grass and Crops

The weather has continued cloudy, damp
and rainy, interrupted with occasional inter
walls of sunshine. The unusual rain fall this
season has retarded the work Of the farmer, but
has given vigorous growth to grass and weeds
1t is lovely to see cotton and grass, weeds and
corn, entwining their tendrils ia harmony,
thriving and drawing their vitality from the
same nonrishing fertilizer, that was originally
intended to be utilized by cotton and the cereals
The recent deluge Of waters that have washed
farms and multiplied blades OF grass, where
cut ana grew before, has tendency To actgate
our famera to the improvement OF every nppor
tun,ty afforded for cleansing their crops. Nil
desperandum" seems to be their motto and.they
are striving with all their energies to gain the
mastery over the grass, thai is subjecting corn
and cotton to a state that may prove injurious.
Renunerative crops will doubtless reward the
labor Of the farmer and gladden. the hearts of
the people with plenty. At all events, ye To-
cal is Of the opinion that small cotton crop
will proportionately realize as much money as
sa extraordinary large enc. ihg PFiiees alWsys
being regulated by the amount raisel and on
the market The demand for the ileeey staple
will probably not exceed that Of last year,
while the area in cultivation is largely greater
this year than that Of last. The damage Of the
caterpillar cannot yet, of course, be determined,
but we look for good crop ofcotton. The corn
crop, we have good evidence to believe, viii

Profanity.

'Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord
III, God in vain, . il divine declaration so reok
lessly disregarded that it stamps this age as one
of profanity There are those whose taste is
SO unrefined, that in ordinary conversation, the
name Of God is most shamefnlly used. They
think that profanity gives emphasis and force,
but ii only detracts and weakens and renders
well bred people uncomfortable in their pres
ence. This taking the name of God in vain, is
not confined to one class, but is INDUCED in by
those ofall ages sizes and rank. Even young
America, having the idea that it appears big to
swear make the streets sometimes 10 resound
with oaths and in fact SO addicted are they to
this obnoxious mode Of conversing, that they
curse when they least think OF doing SO, Quit
it boys, it never will do you any good, but will
do you much harm

Raising the Wind.

When a man gets out of money, he will re-
sort to most any kind OF an expedent to raise
a few dollars. But one Of the most novel kinds
of this age of artifce, Of sebemipg and humbug-
cry, happened in this city the other day. A
somewhat yerdant fellow, recently from Tar-
heel State, but now Of this county, went TO the
Marietta Savings Bank and desired the loan OF
some $50. He being a stranger, the polite
Bankep Of e0Hrse, required an endorser. The
individual went to several flour citizens solicit
ing their endorsement, but refusal was the
natural consequence. At last be went to
prominent merchant and made known his wants
and wishes, and, by way of inducement, he
stated to the merchant that ifhe would lend the
use of his name as an endorser for the procure
ment Of the money from the Banker, "tliat he'd
spend half of it with him." 1t is needless to re-
late the sequel.

Temperance in Lagrange.

"Rey, w. D. Atkinson delivered a speech on
temperance and intemperance In the court
house Monday night, in presence of good
sized audience. We were not present, but
have been informed that the speaker slashed
right aud left at churches and preachers be-
cause one of the churches in this place was de-
MED to him to lecture in Whether the cause
of temperance can be advanced by decrying the
church or any branch oft, is a question Mr..
Atkinson might proftably consider" -La-
Grange Reporter.
Temperance, although ofthe most vital i'm
portance to the moral welfare and happiness Of
mankind, is perhaps regarded with more in
difference than any other cause, and those who
have moral courage TO advocate it, with pen or
upon the rostrum, are not only subject to the vii
est abuse from those who areslayes to alcoholic
stimalants. but are denounced by men who ac-
knowledge that the evil Of intemperance is a
growing one, and which if not checked, will
ultimately undermine our social fabric, ruin the
Church and corrupt the lawmakers Of the
land. Under such circumstances, it is not diff
ficult 10 understand why so manv men who are
recognized as philantlropists, and who are pos

advocating it. Yet it is to be regretted that
men are devoid of proper courage to discharge
duty they owe to their God, their country,
and to their brother man. To such it is not
considered disreputable Or disreapectfal to pub
licly profess and advocate christianity, yet to
throw obstacles in the way of the temperance
cause and array themselves in open hostility
to it's principles and teachings is an ineonsis-
tency we do nat know how to reconcile with
Tie precepis of the Book Divine. 1.-THE Church
ia not interested in the promotion of temperance,
to whom should we look Religion and
temperance goes hand in hand, and the former
cannot succeed without the latter or in other
words DO man can be true christian who is
addicted to intemperance.
