What Water Is.


On one occasion one Paul Denton, q Meth
odist preacher in Texas, advertised bar
becue, with better liquor than is usually fur
nished. When the people assembled, a
desperate in the crowd cried out "Mr. Paul
Denton, your reverence has lied. You prom
Used not only good barbecue, but better
liquor. Where's the iquor?'
''There !" answered the missionary in tones
of thunder, and pointing his long, bony
finger at the matchless double spring, gushing
up in two strong columns from the bosom
of the earth. "There {" he repeatrd, with
look terrible as lightning, while his
enemy actually trembled at his feet; There
is the liquor which God, the Eternal, brews
for all his children. Not in the simmering
still, over smoky fires choked with poisonous
gasses and surrounded with the stencil of
sickening odors and corruption, doth your Fa-
Their in Heaven prepare the precious essence of
life, pure cold water; but in the glade and
grassy dell, where the red deer wanders and
the child loves to play, there God brews it; and
down, way down in the deepest Valleys where
the fountain murmurs and the rills sing; and
high upon the mountain tops, where the
naked granite ghtters like gold in the sum-
where storm clouds brood and the thunder
storms crash; and out out in the wild, wide
sea, where the hurricane bowls music and the
VIZ WIVES IOtI LueL CHCIuS, sweeping TIE
march of God there he brews it-beverage
of life, health-giving water. And everywhere
it is thing of beauty, cleaning in the dew
drop singing in the summer rain, shining in
the iee-gem, till they seem turned to living
jewels; spreading golden veil over the set
ting sun, or a white gauZe around the mid
night moon; sporting in the cataract; sleeping
in the glacier; dancing in the hail shower; fold
ing its bright curtains softly around the wintry
world, and weaving the many-colored iris, that
seraph's zone OF the air, whose warp is the
rain drops of the earth, and whose wool is
the sunbeams of heaven, all checkered over
with the celestial flowers of the mystic hand
of refra.ction that blessed ife-water No
poison bubbles on its brink; its foam brings
not madness and murder; no blood stains its
liquid glass; pale shadows and starving chill

A Tribute.

At meeting of the Pulaski Grange
on Saturday last, the following pream-
BILE and resolution were passed unani-
mously:
WHEREAS, The hand of misfortune
has been laid heavily on our worthy
sister Ceres, Mrs. L. g. White, plunging
herself and family in the deepest attic
ton. An appalling and heartrending
calamity having desOlated her home, and
robbed it of a beloved daughter, and 81
fond and affectionate sister, society of
one of the lOveliest of its young mem
bers, filled the hearts of her friends with
grief, and the entire community with
mourning for a beFeavment so sad in the
circumstances that attended it as TO ill
every mind with horror. Therefore,
Rgs6lDed, That we tender to our sister
in her deep distress, our heartfelt con-
dolence-that so far as human sympathy
may soften the poignancy OF her an
guish, we share her grief. Could il re-
store to the fond mother her idolized
daughter, and to the sOrrOwing brothers
and sisters the dear one whose sad fate
they mourn, their tears would be dried,
and their hearts, crushed by the uneX-
pected blow, would beat again with hope
and joy.
Let us hope that sn all-wise PrOvi-
dence viii temper their sore aiiiiction 10
their grieved hearts, and that the dark
ness OF the present may grow radiant
with the sweet hope OF blissful reun-
ion with the loved and lost one In the
home OF the blessed.

SKIN OF Sir. Boyd 4. Young. Tie ma
chlhe was wound up on Wednesday
evening and at dark the gas was lighted
ia the houses above mentioned and
nightly from that time to this il has
oeen burning, giving ocular evidence of
us superiority over every other kind of
llght ever before used in Pulaski and
Vleihg IN brilliancy and steadiness with
any gas OF any description whatever
used in any city. In short, the fest
maze before and for the use of our peo-
PIE has been so eminently satisfactory
and demonstrative that all have voted II
a suceess-evidenced by the greed with
which our people are taking hold of it.
Inc company are overrun with orders
Tor piping and fitting houses both i'm
town and throughout the country. and
have already sold several machines.
They sent a force last week to Law
renceburg to pipe one of the large cot
ton factories of that town and will inn
mediately put in one of their machines.
Our town is fortunate in being about
the first to receive the benefit of this
mastery invention, and our citizens are
not slow to see the advantages 1t possess
es over all other kinds of light. 1t has
been demonstrated, as we have before
said, that the light it gives is equal to
fifteen star candles, and that the cost to
the person who manufactures his own
gas Is about One-third the price of gas
at the ordinary price per thousand feet.
A man in manufacturing his own gas is
put to the expense of buying machine,
but then he saves the expense OF metres
and two-thirds the ordinary price of gas,
which in one year will pay for his appa-
ratus, and then he has machine which
will last him a lifetime, is but little
trouble to him, and furnishes him
lights inferior 10 none, and the cost is
almost nothing. We hope to see our
town soon lighted with it.

The Rush to Kansas & Colorado.

The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado in 1874 viii be greater than
ever. The shortest way to reach the far west
is through St. Louis, the great Mississippi
Valley City of over 45O,O 900 inhabitants, and
thence West over the st. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, which reaches all
the great land grants in the west, and runs
six fast Express trains, two more than any
other road between the Mississippi and the
Missouri MYERS. This road, in the last two
years, has expended over two million dollars,
besides earnings, in extraordinary improve
ments Of railway, in relaying its line with
tho best quality of new steel and iron rails,
on broad new ties, and in passenger equip
ment, having substituted for ordinary cars
new reclining chair coaches, with every ap
pliance for comfort and safety, being elegant
with toilet conveniences for ladies, gentle
men and families travelling with children,
FREE OF ANY EXTRA CHARGE. Any ticket
agent selling through tickets to the West
will furnish the tickets by this excellent
r1ute through st. Louis, over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
best and shortest to Kansas, Colorado, Ne
hraska, California and the great West, it be-
ing the only line running through cars be-
tween St. Louis and Omaha. For map cir

eN- Our CORES pendent from Law
renceburg win have to scare up some
other pretext to get into the Pulaski
CITIZEN. We deny his right to take eX-
ceptions to our editorial commencing
the action of the Lawrenceburg conven-
ton and its nominee. No injustice was
done to him, because we said nothing
about him one way or the other, and in
fact he was not in our mind then, nor
had we the slightest knowledge of his
position. We made up our estimate of
the harmony which characterized the
deliberations of the convention from the
official report of the secretary who fur
nished us with the proceedings. He
was a Lawrence man and said, "Ihe
convention was a full and large delega-
ton, and was an unusually harmonious
one.v As to Lawrence being entitled to
the Senator, we can only refer him TO
the committee of seven, four OF whom
were Lawrence county men, to-wit:
r. II. Rose, w. A. Stewart, w. L. Nixon
and 7. ID. Davenport. They said IN
their report, sit is conclusive that the
county Of Giles is entitled to name the
nresent candidate for Senator" The

the committee was cOncurred in by the
convention amid loud cheers" Nhere-

herald his grievances upon the preteNt

In the dispensation of an all-wise Provi-
dence little Matte has been called from our
Sabbath School band to join the angel ehoiE
above. She was a bright, promising child,
the idol of her sehOolmates, the pride of her
teachers, an atfectionate daughter and fond
sister. She was a tender bud with such rich
ness and depth of eoloring that each day re-
vealed some new charm which ere long
would have expanded into rare female lovli-
ness. But untimely death has withered that
young life so full of JOY, love and hope.
Therefore be it ReSolUsG, That the mother,
brothers and sisters have our sympathy and
coincidence in this their sad bereavement.
RssolUed, That we, testimonial of our
sorrow and regret for this sad dispensation,
will bring flowers and evergreens for three
successive Sabbaths to the altar of our
Church as memorials of our affection for our
departed pupil and schoolmate.
