Written by A. B. Laurens, January 8, 1871, ant
published in the Columbus Gazette some days af

We bow not down to yonder rising sun,
As did the Psrsee worshipper of old,
But bend it homage when its race is run,
And watch it sink in purple-fretted goldl
And thus to see, oh HAYES the tried and true,
On battlefield and IN the civic chair.
Our hearts deep gratitude, thy need and due,
AS closes far too soon. thy proud career
Goes out; in benedictions pure and high
oh, may thy set be brisf; and, like the sun,
Rise thou again-thy light to Jill the sky
A brighter course Of glory still to run,-
Till millions now unborn shall hail thy name,
In ages yet to come, with glad acclaiml

Fear of Disease.

1t is said that while the plague
was raging in Buenos Ayres
the grave diggers bore charmed
lives. Of the three hundred men
so employed not one died Of the
disease. 1t has often been noticed
that, during prevalence of pesti-
lentiai diseases, physicians, under
takers, nurses and gravediggers,
whose business compelled constant
liability TO infection, have usually
escaped in a far greater ratio than
their numbers would warrant
The ''charm' of this immunity
from the prevailing scourge is very
simple. They are not scared. They
are positive tolthe disease, and re-
pei its attacks. Fear is a great al
ly Of death, Whoever is afraid of
the disease is in a negative condi-
ton, and really invites its APP
proach. And thus it is the world
over. The brave die but once,
while towards die many times. -
Much unnecessary alarm exists in
every community in regard to
many diseases. We are, it is true.
all liable to sickness and death
But If we are all sober, Clearly and
brave Of heart, we need have no
fear Of disease ofbody or mind.

A sharp Trick.

A day or two ago an enterpris-
ing tramp" entered Frederick,
and in passing by a flower garden
appropriated a plant growing in a
flower pot. An idea struck him
that there might be millions in
it," so he forthwith proceeded to
the nearest drug store, where he
procured some oil of anise, which
he poured upon the plant also
some anise seed, which he placed
in his pocket, and started out to
"astonish the natives" with the
fragrance of his wonderful Egyp-
tian plant, and also supply them
with q small quantity of the seed
at the low price of 81. He was
very successful, both in selling to
and astonishing them, for in a few
days they found that they had
been "sOld.' Quitea number of
the citizens of Frederick invested
their dollar in anise seed, and if
they properly cultivate it, Freder-
lex will be able by next year to
supply the balance of the state
with as many Egyptian plants as
they will require.

One Of the most venerable and
successful Of the eminent pubic
men of this country, has recently
writer a letter 10 young friend,
which every young man, VIII Is
casting about in his own mind for
a life pursuit. should ponder. 1t Is
a strong but just picture of the Ut
terly disappointing nature OF poll
tics as a profession. Said the vet
eran statesman
"True, as you say, / have held
many Offices Indeed, / IN y say
that / never knew defeat in any Of
my aspirations. And it is just be-
cause ] had success which people
call wonderful, hat / feel compe-
tent to administer a word Of eau
ton" to the young men Of this gen
Grafton. My young friend, do not
be deceived by the glitter of Of
fee. / am now past three score
years and am fast travelling into
the ten. / have held almost every
office in the gift Of the people, and
] can truly say with the preacher,
at Is all vanity and vexation OF
spirit" Looking back over a long
and I hope nor unsuccessful life, /
can say with a clear conscience,
my greatest regrei is that / ever
made political speech or held an
office. There is a fascination in
Office which beguiles men, but
be assured, my young friend, it
is the fascination of serpent, or
to changesthe figure, it is the ignis
fdtu,ts which coaxes you on to in
eyitable ruin. / speak Of that
which ! do know. If my young
friends will be governed by my
advice, I have this to say, after all
my success as a public man, now,
when my head is blossoming for
the grave, / feel that it would
have been better for me had / fol-
lowed the occupation of my father
and been farmer.

At st. Louis school the pupils
We're in the habit of bringing in
luncheon. Among those who did
not go home to dinner, the teacher
noticed little girl who always sat
looking wistfully at her playmates
when they went out with their
luncheons, but who never brought
any herself. The child was neatly
but very poorly clad, and one of
the closest students in school hours.
One day the teacher noticed that
the little thing had apparently
brought her dinner with her. The
noon hour came, and the children
took t.ein lunch as usual and went
out to eat it, this little girl alone
remaining III the room, with her
dinner wrapped up in a paper on
the desk before her. The teacher
went to the child and asked her
why she did not go out with the
rest, at the same time put ing her
hand toward the package. Quick
as thought the little girl clasped
her hands over it and exclaimed,
sobbing, Don't touch it, teacher,
and don't, please don't tell. It's
only blocks !" And that was the
fact. Having no dinner to bring,
and too proud to reveal the power
ty of her family, the child had
carefully wrapped up number of
blocks in paper, and brought the
package to present the appearance
of a lunch! 1t was mere laugh
able incident in school life, but it
was enough to make wiser and
| older hearts than hers sad.

Health Maxin1s.
TDr. Hall.

The best three medicines in the
word are warmth, abstinence and
repose.
Whatever promotes a comforta-
BILE and harmless state of mind
promotes health.
Men consumetoo much food and
too little pure air; they take too
much medicine and too little exer-
else.
Patent medicines are temporary
in their effects they alleviate or
smother instead of graduating di-
sease.
Every man owes it to society to
become rich, for the poor mans
advice is never needed, let it be
ever 90 valuable.
Very many diseases are laid at
the door Of "the weather" 1t is
the want of weather which brings
multitudes in our larger cities to
an untimely grave.
Ir small quantities, and occa
sionally many things may beeaten
with advantage, which, If eaten
continuously Tor weeks ana lHohbtl5
or in inordinate amounts, would
occasion serious results.
Persons may outgroW disease
and become healthy by proper at
tention to the laws Of their physi-
cal constitutions. BY moderate
daily exercise men may become
active and strong in limb aud
muscle.
Pads.and supporters are perm lei
Gus, ana worse than useless, be-
cause they teach the system to rely
on them, and cannot support one
part of the body without causing
an unnatural strain on some other
part, and to that extent tend to
disease that part.

Am Old Hunting Horse.

The Reading Eagle says that
ex-Commissioner John KurtZ, of
Caenarvon township, Pennsylva-
MIA, is the owner of a mare which
he has used for twenty six years
for fox hunting. He rode her
over all the mountains in the low
er part of Berks and Lancaster
counties in that State, going over
rocks, fences, cliffs and gulies.-
The mare is now thirty-two years
of age, is in excellent condition,
and as lively az a colt. There is
no wind gals or other blemishes
about her, and she apparently
looks no older than ten or twelve
years. The animal is so well
trained that she will follow a
pack Of hounds over the hills with
cut q rider. Ii is said that she can
still trot a mile in four minutes.
The ANIMAL is ofthe Arabian stock.

to a corner and himself into a
chair, and breathlessly said Can
a man sue me for $250,000 DANA

sense enough to frame o new con-

"Certainly he can, responded
the lawyer.
"After he had banged me in the
nose and kicked me in the abdo-
men, and told me / was a blue
eyed penitentiary outcast, before
a whole crowd, and a bankrupt
body snatcher, then can he sue me
for damages, too, and attach my

eyes," observed the man of
law, "and he can have you hauled
up before the Recorder and have
you fined for using abusive and in
sulting language besides.
"Well, then,' said the unhappy
man ,as he applied his handkerchief
to his nose, and pulled his hat over
his brow, "the next time | vote

The Narper's Feray Prop
erfV.

We learn that the dispatch in The
SIN of Wednesday from Washington,
in reference to the condition Of the Har-
per's Ferry question before the United
States Attorney General did not show
correctly the position of that officer on
the subject. There is nothing indefinite
in the condition of that question before
the department, nor was the COMMUNE
cation of the purpose of the Attorney
General to dismiss the government APP
peal at all premature. On the 90th of
December the Attorney General ad-
dressed an official letter to Mr.. Faulkner
the Representative in Congress from,
that district, in which be announced
his then impression as follows 81 shall
order the property to be sold under the
decree of the court" An order of sale
necessarily implies dismissing or aban-
donment of the appeal. Mr.. Faulkner
says that he knows from apersenrl ln-
terview with the Attorney General that
he has not changed or modified that
purpose, impression or conclusion since
hi. letter to that gentleman of the 90th
ultimo.

Ever since the era Of advertising was
inaugurated, business rnen Of all classes
have been made the victims Of a GER
tain class Of men who. with fippant
speech, and with 4 persistency as pro-
yoking as it would be admirable in a
better cause, have persuaded them to
enter into their particular schemes.
These schemes are numerous, as many
an advertiser can attest, and when we
weigh their Influence in calm, impair
tial manner, we shall become convicted
that they are a sublime fraud upon the
too lenient advertising public; and that
the advertiser, when he has submitted
to the imposition, has literally thrown
his money away
The schemes Of these honey-tounged
and metal-visaged gentry, who beseige
the unwary advertiser on every hand
and bore him into giving them an adj
which the advertiser generally does in
order to get rid of him--are, as we have
heretofore mentioned, exceedingly nu-
merous. There is the programme
scheme, for instance, cunningly inter-
spersed with stale Jokes, or other eight
and entertaining reading matter" and
handed to the passer by on those days
when there chances TO be au unusual
gathering in the town or city, only to
be glanced at for the space of second,
If at all, and then carelessly thrown
away to be trampled under foot, This
is decidedly waste Of money On the
part OF the advertiser.
Then, again, we have the hotel-regis-
ter scheme, hotel card-advertising
scheme, and the hotel card-rack scheme,
together VITA other schemes too numer
GUS to mention. Now, what the hon
est advertisers want, and, indeed, what
every advertiser in the land wants. is
the greatest return for the amount OF
money invested. In order to secure
| this there is but one reliable method and
that is the newspaper, which there is
demand, because of its worth The
American people are pre-eminently a
reading people, and of all the literature
thrown broadcast over the country, that
of the newspaper predominates and is
the most generally read. The people
are gradually being educated up to the
practice of looking into the advertising
columns of the newspaper in order to
find where their wants can be supplied.
This being the facts, it is patent to
every sensible advertiser that the place
to display his wares is where they will
be the most likely to be seen and read .
In conclusion, then, the advertiser, in
order to receive a rich return for his In
vestment, must seek the most reliable
medium, which is most emphatically
the newspaper, and the wise and judic-
ious advertiser will always reject every
other. american Press.

In the Lands trial Thursday at
Bridgeton, N. j., DIR. Ingraham, who
attended Mr.. Carruth testified that he
probed the wound and desired to open
the assesses protrnding from his Graz
mum, but the patient would not con-
sent. He also testified that in 1872 he
and another person had called on Lam
dis to dissuade him from attending a
vineland meeting, when Laudis de-
clared that if there was any disturb
ance Cawuth would be the first victim.
This created sensation throughout the
crowded court room. In the afternoon
the defence opened, and counsel said
they would show that Carruth had
made steady progress of recovery from
his wound until the LIST of September,
when the wound was improperly prob
ed. The defence will also plead nsan-
ity on the part of the prisoner. More
than forty witnesses win be examined.

and Boarding StabIes-An agreeable
Reception.
Yesterday afternoon good]y number of
friends of John Kirkman u Son, gathered
at the opening of their new livery and board

The buildings, used formerely as coach
shops, have all been newly overhauled, re-
nodded in the newest and most approved
style, and furnished with all that is requisite
to carry on a first class livery
stable. The finest of coaches, and indeed
vehicles of all descriptions, together with
neatly groomed horses, and we'll polished
harness, adorn the principal apartments of
the buildings. The Office, which occupies
the northwest corner, is most handsomely
furnished with chairs, desks and carpet
of elaborate workmanship. AS the visitors
dropped in yesterday to take glance at
these Improvements, they not only received
hearty welcomings from the proprietors by
word and looks, but truly substantial
token OF regard in the shape of ice cream,
cakes, fruits, etc. The whole proceedings
were highly enjoyable, and the kindness Of
the Messrs. Kirkman really appreciated.
Parties desiring to hire teams, should not
forget that Kirkman g. Son will be happy to
fill all their orders.
