+" Don't Charley"

Don't Charley" came to my cars in a
sweet, musical tone, while i was seated
in railway car, lastsummer. should
not have heard the soft touching voice
had it not been very near me. l look
ed to see who it was had spoken, and
saw a sweet, beautiful woman upon the
seat in front of me. A half sad look
rested upon the young face that was all
aglow with love and tenderness. A
young man was seated by her side
whose face wore a restless, dissipated
look and in a momentI comprehended
it. all. His face was flushed slightly,
and | knew why it was thus. He was
talking very fast to some one in ad-
vance of him, and once | heard a low
oath. Don't Charley" she said
again, in the same sweet voice. But
Charley did not seem to heed, but went
on in half-wild way to the man. Sew
eral more oaths came from his lips /;
but the woman remained silent, yet
looking so pleadingly at the erring one
that L thought. if he had been half
human, he would have needed the
mild, loving reproof that was so visi-
BILE in her tear-dimmed eyes.
A friend BY my side whispered in my
ear, They have been married just one
year"
" He is a BRUTE" I only said in re-
ply.
AT that moment | saw the young
husband wink silly to the man, aud then
they both arose and went in the bag
gage-car. | understood the movement
when | saw a bottle protruding from
the husbands coat pocket
Don't, Charley; don't go, the
young wife had pleaded before he
had got beyond her reach but he tore
himself from her slight grasp, aud
rushed along. Her eyes filled with
tears, and a low moan came from her
pale lips, and then she bowed her head
and wept silently.
He came back in afew moments, his
face flushed still more, and his voice
was key or two louder than before.
He brushed rudely past the wife, evil
IDENTIFY to get near the car-windOw.
Let me alone, Mag" he said, as she
laid her white hand upon his arm.
Women are always in the way, he
said, again turning to the man in front
of him.
The wife turned away, and | did not
hear her sweet, reproving voice again.
How | pitied that young, loving wife,
and how often / wonder if her sensi-
tive heart must suffer and bleed for
many long years think not for her
tender, loving soul, and frail, slender
body will not bear such unkindness.
Strange how soon liquor will transform
human beings into unfeeling monsters,
and chill the ardent, loving nature OF a
tender husband and trusting wife :

CiYl1 Rights i'm the Public Schools.

The political significance of the ac-
ton taken at the recent convention of
colored men may be. stated in a few
words. If the issues proposed by the
convention be pressed in contests of
the future, they will certainly produce
a split between the white and black ell
ements of the Radical party, so far as
Tennessee is concerned. The eOnyen-
tiOn declared tnat the colored people
would insist upon mixed schools, and
withhold their support from any can
didate who will not advocate such a
change in the existing law Not con-
tent with this, the leaders went farther
and denounced Brownlow for oppOs-
ing their utterly impractieable ideas
about equality" with which the
school question has nothing whatever
to do. The fact is, Browniow repre-
sents the sentiments of -tenths of
the white Republicans of the State, by
whom the compulsory mingling of the
races will never be recognized or ae-
cepted as an ISSUE Viewed in the
light of political movement, there
fore, the action of the convention has
suicidal tendency; nothing more in
judicious, at this iuncture, could be
proposed. But suppose that it should
meet with success so far from having
mixed public schools, the race most in
terested would have none at all. 1t
must not be forgotten by the eolO,ed
people that these schools are supported
by taxation, nearly all of which it lev
led upon the property of the white
population. Let them take heed how
the imperil the substantial blessings
of education by pursuing the shad-
owy phantom of social equality. =

oneer Episode in a Circus.

Recently. at Salamonski's circus, in
Berlin, while pair of giant wrestlers
enjoyed few minutes respite between
tests of strength, the interest of the
audience being wrought up to an in
tense and exciting pitch, a gentleman
leaped into the arena, and, mOtioDing
TO the musicians to cease playing, asked
in loud voice, Is Mrs. Herman, the
midwife, PRESENT." A movement was
observed at a point high up the amphi-
theatre of seats; the man in the arena
waved his hand for silence, and thin
voice squeaked out, Yes, here she is =
4" You are wanted at No. 33 Carl street
said the man in the arena, as he retir-
ed. The GOODNESS of this proceeding
to find the dOetress amid such sur
roundings by this time became appa-
rent to the audience, and such roars of
laughter and frantic demonstrations
of hilarity were never witnessed before
in that place of mirth. Next day <;
Carl street was musical with twins.

The Drunkard's Cure.

Some months ago a gentleman ad-
vertised that he had discovered sure
specific for the cure of drunkenness.
He would not divulge the secret of
what compounds he used, but furnished
the medicine at so much per bottle.
He did not have as many applicants
for his cure "a he expected, consider
ing the extent of the disease. Intact,
the more malignant cases did not seem
anxious for relief; they rather appear
ed to enjoy the malady. A few, how
ever, placed themselves under treat
ment, and some were cured-whether
by taking the medicine, or by not tax
ing strong drinks, is not stated. One
of the cured ones had faith in the medi-
cine, rigidly carried out the directions
of the doctor, and now has not the
least taste for intoxicating drinks;
whereas one year ago he was an inc
briate, and could not get along with less
than pint to a quart of whisky. per
day. He said that at some trouble
and expense, he had procured the re-
ceipe for the preparation of the medi-
cine, which he had published for the
benefit of suffering, humanity. 1t is as
follows: Sulphate of iron, five grains !;
peppermint water, eleven drachms !;
spirit Of nutmeg, one drachm. Twice
day. This preparation acts as a
tonic and stimulant, and so partially
supplies the place of the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute physi-
cal and moral prostratiOn that follows
a sudden breaking off from the use of
stimulating drinks. 1t is to be taken
in quantities equal to an nordinary dram,
and as often as the desire for dram
retnrns-Er.

A Chest Of Gold.

A citizen of Bell county, Texas,
while digging among some mounds in
Noland 8 Valley. found box countaIn-
ing 6,250 Spanish dOubloons, or slO0. r
900. The lucky finder, whose name Is
not given, is said to be worthy Bap-
tist minister, who has already given
ten thousand dollars of his newly ac-
quired treasure to the Church. There
is tradition in the county that the
valley, which is pecliarly situated, was
years ago, before Santa Anna or Sam
Houston were either heard of, the re-
sort of accompany of Mexican bandits,
and that three other chests were buried
there containing like amounts. The
good fortune of our Baptist friend has
created an excitement in the valley,
which will probably lead to the diseoy-
cry OF the chests with their contents,
amounting in theaggregate to S300000.

IT is safe to say that if the colored
people had no vote, there would be
no Radical legislation in their behalf.
The last Radical bid for the colored
vote is thus noticed by the Cincinnati
Enquirer
The Civil Rights Bill reported by
the judiciary Committee in the Unite d
Senate has twonOtable features. The
first is that it gives to negroes the
full and equal enjoyment Of inns,
public copveyances on land and water,
theatres and other places of amuse-
ment, and of common schools aud
other institutions of learning. The
second is that violation of this act are
tried in the United States and not in
the State Courts. The penalty Is fine,
Imprisonment, or both, at the pleasure
of the Court. If it become q law
ho;el-keeper can be punished If he
does not allow negroes TO sit down at
the public tables with whites, or if he
refuses to put them in the same bed
rooms together. This would run pret-
ty generally athwart the feel ngs, the in
stincts and traditions of the people.
The negroes would be foolish If they
ever attempted to make Of this law
more than a dead letter.

Fatal Accident.

We learn from the Hartsyille Senti-
mel, of last week, that one Mr.. Archie
Forgason, who lives ON DixOn's Creek,
in Trousdale County, went a short dis
tance from his house to cut tree
down, telling his wife as ne went. that
he would be back again in a few min
utes. Mrs. 'ForgasOn heard the tree
fall, aud her husband not returning as
he promised her to do. she went to ac-
certain the cause, and to her horror
found Mr.. Forgason lying dead beside
the tree. His skull and neck were
broken, fallen limb lying close to the
body of the unfortunate man, being
evidently the cause of his death. Mr.
Forgason was highly esteemed by all
who knew him.

do, and tell Us that we are right, when
we are wrong. and they know IL. aud

If friends would reprcve us more, en-

MAYFIELD Democrat, 9th: "Neyer
in the history of Western Kentucky

that Of the present spring. The past
winter having been unusually mild, we
can not hear Of the wheat being frozen
out in any direction. If the weather
does not remain too wet so as to induce
rust, seab or some other destructive
disease in the wheat. we shall have a
larger yield of this article west Of the
Tennessee river than we have ever
known. Oats are coming up finely
aud making a handsome show for a
profitable crop.

A Floral Chameleon.

A French Bishop of Canton has
Just sent to the J0rdia d Acclimato-
Gon, at Paris, a plant whose flower
changes color three times day. 1t is
spoken of as another wonderful evil
dence of Chinese art in leading Nature
out of her customary paths. 1t ap-
pears, however, that it is. if not the
same, at least not more remarkable
than a natural floral freak found in
Southern Australia. 1t is a beautiful
flower, similar to our well known morn
ing glory, with five streaks Of color on
its bell-shaped calyx. In the early
morning the color streaks are pale blue.
Toward noon they turn to a rich pur-
pie tint, which changes to light pink
during the afternoon. As the day de-
clines the color fades, disappearing en-
tirely after sunset, when the flower
closes and dies.

ones go to the bottom. Rise above the
envi0us and jealous. Fire above the
mark you intend to hit. Energy, in
vincible determination, with a right
motive are the levers that move the
world. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't
deceive. Don't read novels. Don't
marry until you can SUPPORT wife.
Be in earnest Be self-reliant. Be
generous. Be civil. Read the papers.
Advertise your business. Make money
and do good with il. Love your God
and fellow-man. Love truth and
virtue. Love your country aud obey

A MICHIGAN Patron urges brethren
to be blind TO all opinions in discord
with the general wishes of the Grange"
He adds =" We are strong enough to
meet and have no fears of our outside
foes. But there is another, the most
dangerous of all foes. namely, internal
discord, differences of opinion which
have tendency to break down the
unity Of action necessary to success,
This advice is given because of oppo
sition in some of the Oranges to county
purchasing agents and because Of the
tendency to Centralize power, &c.
