The FLIGHT Of Years.
By MRS. MARY E NEALY

In childhood's years, which poets call Elysian,
The slow year crept ike laggard snails along,
While forward through lies vista shone eaeh
Oflove and JOY and hope, OF dance and song.
"And OH 1 thought, when snail oea Vo-
What golden hues of life these eyes shall nh!
What joys and blisses, more divine than hu-
Shall doaf 10 me upon youths distant hill
Along the sea OF years.
Ten years were gone, and in LIES ranks wan
grown-up woman. One short decade past,
And 10! the iuture's pleasure sLil pondered,
When I should be cherished wife at last,
When stronger ties of love should gather ROUND
And stronger hopes and duties TO me cling;
When in the world of love which then should
Life's TicEest blossoms round my feet would
In the fair future years.
Ten swift years sped-how very quick they
FreighIed with duties strong and deep and
While husband, children, life and death di-
My hearts emotions 'twixt the earth and sky.
Love held me closely in his warm embraces,
Twining each tendril closer, closer still
While Death stole in and paled the dearest
Freezing my hearts blood with his icy chill
The blight OF all the years.
Ten years rolled on, and fame had sought and
In my wee cottage from the world afar;
And spirits strong ard high had gathered round
As pure and noble as the angels are!
This was recompense for all my yearning,
For all my years OF struggle. toll and loss;
Lighting fire which even yet is burning,
Giving bright crown for my thorny cross,
To crown the wasted years.
And now another decade swift is going,
Swift as Il weaVer'S shuttle, ''dOwn the stream;
Life to the Eternal Ocean fast is flowing,
And all the past is like a vanished dream.
Yet still L see dear faces smiling DER me,
And still a thousand hopes beam bright before
me,
Making my future seem of priceless worth
My few remaining years.
Father in Heaven pray Thy holy blessing
Upon my quickly fitting lease OF time.
IF / should lose sweei human loves caressing,
Grant that my spirit in Thy rays sublime
May bathe and be content; that Natures beauty
May ever fall like balm upon my soul,
And ON my path the gentle star OF duty
Nav shine, to light me with its sweet control
Down TO the tomb of years!

Economy.

There is probably not another word in
language that wears such disagreeable
look to the average young man, as the
one that serves as our heading. The ira
ditions Of young men are against it.
Nearly every young fellow of spirit for
time, has hearty dislike of all that
savors of saving. 1t is manly to be gem
erous and careless of money. As economy
is to him the synonym of meanness, SO
he equally mistakes the meaning of gem
erosity, and allies it with wastefulness.
This misconception has, we think,
great deal to do with the improvident
habits of young men 1t is good thing
to hate meanness, but it is bad thing to
think that economy comes under that
head. The mistake has been the ruin of
multitudes; for by the time man sees
his blunder he has frequently contracted
habits that make reform very hard indeed
land in many cases impossi ble. The
prodigal can seldom become steady citi-
zen without hard wrenches.. If young
man could only see what his experience
will teach him by-and-by, that moderate
prudence in money matters will save him
a great deal of care and ill-luck in after
life, there would be an alarming decrease
in the quantity of liquor and cigars sold.
1t is really want of thought more than
anything else that keeps man poor
The ambition-vague generally-of the
ordinary young man, is sometime to have
a home of his own, with a wife and chill
dren, Most of them manage to get the
two last, while but mournfully small
proportion accomplish the first. Yet it
might easily be otherwise just a little
selfcontrol, steadily exercised for few
ryears, would PIT money enough in the
hands OF mosU-y -lrgs men, to get the land

ally safe for a good degree of comfort
and peace of mind in the world, so far as
| material things go. The sooner young
man rids himself of the absurd idea that
prudence is meanness, and self-indulgence
generosity, the sooner will he be in fair
way of escaping hand-to-mouth existence
in after years.

Jenny June got hat that turned up
on one side, and her husband criticised
it so severely that she wore her old bon
net when she went to see the Sphinx,
and lol it was the only one there.
Everybody had on a new hat, and every
one had it turned up high on the sides.
Said her husband, Good heavens have
all the women gone crazy?' Yes re-
piled she, meekly, "and why can't GO
crazy too?" MY dear" said he, you
may; it would be ridiculous to be the
only sensible woman in the world" So
hereafter she is going to wear her gray

secessIon and RadicaIIsm.

Hon. Ben IT. Hill, in our judgment the
ablest living man in the South to-day, made
a speech at Atlanta recently, in the course
of which he drew the following brilliant
and striking parallel between secession and
radicalism. His aTraignment Of the latter
is equal to, and will remind the reader Of
Edmund Burke's celebrated arraignment of
Warren Hastings. It is brief, but II will
richly repay erusal. - Fielsburg Herald.
Secession was a mistake terrible mis-
take; but secession was no crime Il vio-
lated no Oaths; it trampled upon no indi-
vidual rights; it dispersed no Legislature !;
it threttled no State; it sought to shed no
blood; it burned no cities; it invaded no
homes. Radicalism is no mistake. 1t Is
deliberate, intentional, wicked, ever-in-
creasing crime; it has trampled upon ten
thousands oaths to support the COnstitu-
ton. II defied the Union as fact that it
might destroy the Union as principle; IN
der the pretense of reconstructing the
States it has destroyed the States. 1t has
sworn to support the Constitution only to
seize upon power to enable it to subvert the
Constitution; under pretense of restoring
peace it has blighted the country with war,
poverty and sorrow; it has burned cities; it
has dispersed Legislatures; it has robbed
the poor; plundered the helpless; punished
the innocent, and it has chained liberty to
the car of tyranny. l arraign Radlcalism
| tonight before the bar of this outraged
country as the only real intentional rebel in
American history. 1t is a rebel against the
Constitution of our fathers; it is a rebel
against the sovereignty of the States; it is
a rebel against the domestic tranquility
which the Constitution was intended to in
sure; it is a rebel against every principle OF
justice, and a rebel against every blessing
of liberty.

To WEAVE HAR.-A writer in the House
hold gives some very plain directions how to
weave hair: Take smooth board one and
half feet long and six or eight inches
wide. Near one end drive three single
nails in a row, the nails being half an inch
apart, and the row running parallel with
the end of the board. At the other end,
opposite the middle nail, drive one nail,
wax three pieces of linen thread, tie them
together at one end, and about quarter of
an inch from this knot tie, another; now
slip over the nail that stands alone, then tie
ono to each of the three nails drawing the
thread considerably tight. Take the board
IN your lap, with the three nails toward the
right hand. Next take bunch of hair, both
the ends evened, the size of knitting
needle, wet that end and put in under the
thread nearest you, over the middle thread
and under the last-then bring it back ON
the left side, reversing the order. Now
push it up closer against the knot. Pro-
coed in this way until the strip is of the re
quired length. After it is dry it can be
pushed together more closely. Twist is
superior to linen for durability

CHURCH DECORATIONS IN ITALY.-Genoa,
February 32.-There is something impress
sive and at the same time extrayagant in
the prOfuse munifcence with which the
Catholics decorate their saints aud their
churches. In one of their temples which
visited, the name of which forgot, there is
marble Madonna, accepted as the symbol
of gratitude. She is sought, after the fulfill
ment OF any great hope, or the advent of
any piece of good fortune, and she is liter
ally covered with offerings. The richer
classes have bestowed diamonds and other
precious gems, while all around the chapel,
the walls, pillars and railing are hidden be-
meath prodigalities of gold and silver.
Genoa has nearly eighty churches, and the
Annunciatia, very near our hotel is thus
described by Nathaniel Hawthorne. 'Fan-
cy little casket, inlaid inside with pre-
cious stones so that there shall not hair
breadth be lett unprecious-stoned, and then
conceive this little casket to the magnitude
of great church without losing anything
of the excessive glory that was compressed
into its original small compass, but all its
pretty lustre made sublime by the conse-
quent immensely"

Drunkenness a Species Of Insanity.


Inebriety is a mania. Such is becoming
the verdict Of intelligent doctors, as pro-
nounced by DR.. Ramsey TWENTY-FIVE years

forms. The profession nOE accepts this
opinion as final.

By one Of his friends to leave of drinking,

Of his business and character and the ruin
Of his health, to which he replied; '.My

Governor Pease sid :


l feel that l shall not be trespassing upon
the time of the court il add a few words
to what has been so well said by the At
torney General.
Gen. Hamilton had been in failing health
for upwards of twelve months. He was
conscious of the frail tenure that he had
upon life, and death came not to him uuex-
pectedly.
He has been resident of Texas since
about the year 1874, and, during most of
that time, he has been actively engaged in
the practice OF law. With few educational
advantages in early life, he attained high
rank in his profession, and enjoyed, in a
large degree, the confidence and respect of
his fellow citizens. 1t is unnecessary for
me to dwell upon his character and reputa-
ton as an advocate, in this court, where his
eloquent voice has been so often heard,
where his forensic efforts have seldom been
equaled and never excelled. He was often
honored with high Official positions, the
duties Of which he discharged with distin-
guished ability. In 1851 he differed with
q majority of the people of Texas in
regard to the right of a State to secede
from the Union. In obedience to what
he believed to be his duty, he espoused the
Union and labored ardently and zealously
for its Perseverance. In that contest he won
a national reputation. When it ended, by
a restoration of the authority of the
national government, he returned to Texas,
where all local government had been abdi-
Gated, and devoted his best efforts to its re-
establishment.
Possessed of large and generous SYM
pathy for his fellow-men, he entertained no
personal ill-will or bitterness towards those
who had been unsuccessful in that contest,
and Il was mainly owing to his personal eff
forts and influence in the convention of
1869, that Constitution was formed which
contained no proscTiptive clauses against
any class of citizens.
An intimate, personal and political asso-
citation with him for upwards Of twenty
five years justiiies me in saying that have
known few public men who possessed more
enlarged and liberal views-who have been
more tolerant to the opinions Of those with
whom they differed, or more unselish in
their devotion to public interest and wel-
fare.

A THEOLOGICAL QUESTION SETTLED.-A
man died recently at Suter creek who had
never adhered to any particular belief in
any specified system of religion, but who
bore the reputation of being a liberal, kind
hearted man, and good citizen. A minis
ter was requested to conduct the funeral
service, and the good man during his dis
course said in effect that the deceased had
not the least chance of salvation, but had
made bee line for the hot place. Those
who heard this were very indignant, and
that evening party of men went to the
minister's house, dragged him out of bed,
put rope around his neck, declaring they
would hang him. He begged hard for life,
and finally retracted the aspersions he had
cast upon the deceased, and promised to
leave the place at once. He was then re-
leased, and next day he packed up his eff
fects and left.

IT cannot be complained that Bismarck
does not make things sufficiently lively for
the ecclesiastics who have the insolence to
carry on their sacred ministrations without
his leave. 1t is said that he has eighty of
them in prison in Posen alone, including
the archbishop, and there is report that
he has now arrested the Papal legate, who
has been looking after the diocese during
the archbishop's involuntary retreat. This
last action is likely to make some stir, but
that will be rather pleasing than otherwise
to the sweet-tempered Chancellor. By the
tine he gets all the priests IN Germany in
Jail he may begin to ask himself how much
he has made. Somehow the stamping out
process does not seem to work well now a
days. The old Spaniards were the mea for
that.
