0ccultation of venus.

A very beautiful Astronomical
| phenomenon was witnessed here
last Saturday about eight o'clock p.
N. The planet Venus was for about
an hour concealed from our view by
the moon coming into a direct line
between that planet and the earth.
The night was peculiarly favorable
for such observations, being brilli-
antly clear. The moon was in about
her first quarter; her bright crescent
could easily be seen to enclose a
disk more family expressed, which
was the rest of the satellite seen in
penumbra. This fainter portion of
the lunar orb was slowly approach
ed by the bright planet till the lat
ter seemed to come in contact with
the penumbra, and soon became in
visible behind it. After watching
for nearly an hour the planet was
seen emerging from behind thesatel-
lite near the extremity of its lower
horn, looking like a sparkling gem
upon the fair finger Of a queen.
Slowly the two bodies parted COM
pany, not to come so close together
again within the life time of those
who witnessed the beautiful specta-
Gle.

Hard on the Parsons.

The activity of the matrimonial
market is something astounding and
threatens to leave us short of our
clerical force. First, DIR. J. R. Plum
mer was trained off to MurfreesborO
on Tuesday, where he made one OF
those two estimable young people,
Mr.. d. w. Scott and Miss Helen
Carney. The happy couple were not
satisfied with this achievement, but
started Immediately for the hOspita-
BILE residence OF the bridegroom's
father, in this county, where on
Thursday night brilliant reception
took place, at which Mr.. Samuel L..
Rogers received as his bride Miss
Ellen S. Scott, another child of our
estimable fellow-citizen. DR.. Plum
mer accompanied the first couple
home and oficiated at the second
ceremony also.
Then Fred. Williams summoned
the Rev. a. ID. Sears to Nashville,
where he was authorized in due
form to bring back Miss Jennie
Stewart to GAINESVILLE, where she
has so long been known and loved.
Young men, we forgive you in
consideration of the welcome Access
sions you bring to our society here !;
but let the clergy rest while, or we
shall have Mr.. Bergh here establish
ing a humane society to prevent the
overworking of parsons. We are
glad to learn that the clerical gentle
men are recovering from their ex-
haustiOn.

River Items.

River falling slowly with A feet

In noticing Cookies splendid as
sortment of Christmas presents, the
Tobacco Leaf takes occasion to say &
few words about Charlie Cooke him.
self as follows:
Charlie Cooke himself is good cur
rency. He has been passing current
among the girls for the last forty
years and hasn't deprecated one
cent in value and we don't think
he will in the next hundred years.
If any young lady should get him
in trade she may be sure of getting
him off at par.
With all Difference to the Leaf, we
think that it is high time for some
lady to take Charlie who will not
want to trade him off at par or be-
low par or above par; but one who
will keep him for papa to the nu-
merous progeny which G. c. owes
to his country.

WE have never seen cheaper and
prettier goods suitable for Christmas
presents, or in a greater variety
than can be found at Cookies. 1t is
a real treat to look at this stock, and
we would advise our readers to call
and examine for themselves before
buying elsewhere. Gold watches
and chains were never coeaper, and
would make somebody an elegant
present. Rings, buttons, lOckets,
chains, pins and earrings, scarf pins,
fine gold pens, ETC., are always ac-
ceptable, and anything of this kind
always lasts so long that it makes it
the more desirable. He has also
the latest novelties in silver goods
and cut glass, the ladies only can
fully appreciate this line, but we
could not help admiring the rich
water sets, cake and fruit baskets,
castOrs, cups, bowls, spoons, knives
and forks. Toilet sets, vases, tea
and dinner sets for young and old,
and all kinds of toys. On Dec. 18th
he will open fine lot of dolls and
toys, from the cheapest to the finest.
Call and see for yourselves, and you
will be perfectly surprised at the
beauty as well as the cheapness of
his stock. at.

WE call the attention of delin-
quent taxpayers to our advertise
ments for sales of land. Those who
are rich and have plenty of money
can afford to neglect those notices,
but those to whom money is any
object had better come forward be-
fore the Goth of this month and
settle. The only cost before the
sale Will be 80 90; after that the
costs will be more than doubled. 1t
is hard on a poor man to have to
pay his taxes, and those who pay in
time, and save costs, feel it enough;
but those who put it off until the
end and are forced to pay all costs,
are pressed to the wall. In many
instances the costs amount to three
or four times the tax, and little
delay forces a poor man to pay
three or four years taxes in one.
Hurry up, gentlemen; it must be
done; the sooner the better. Next
Wednesday, the 10Th, is the last
day. Don't let it pass until you
have yourtax receiptin your pocket.

! COLLEGE.
Since the mornings first fresh hour,
There has rested on your brow.
A sad shadow, hanging DER
I That fair forehead, fair a. snow.
What has thrown the darkness there
On that face 50 proud and fair9
What pale spirit lifting by,
BY the droop Of it's wing, hath dinamed thine
eye,
Or rained over those checks food of tears
And round thy heart it's anguished fears.
! would kiss that brow of thine
And around it gladness bind,
would all it's grief release,
And place instead the crown of peace.
For lives like yours, so proud and true,
Should never know the fate 10 rue;
a roster dream my darling
VIII trace out for your destiny.
A heart with such unselhsh love,
Must have a lover who viii prove
Fond, true and loyal, and must be
From any foibles, far and free.
AS into yours my eyes look deep,
/ say they are too bright to weep;
Too true and clear for sorrows brine,
To sweep the cheek, or shade the mind.
50 In their depths SO blue and clear
Shall laughter nestle, ever near;
And in thy heart my Jean, my sweet,
Shall gTaces blossom that are meet
To grace a life like yours, and then
When fate her labor all shall lend,
The hands that warmly clasp my own,
And sOothes me when I'm sad and lone,
VIII shrink not from the hold Of right
Tho it lead DER wild and rugged height.
MavOurneen, love, my Jean,
A dark and hidden grief ween
Is towering round thee, but plead
To win thee from it, and to lead
Where shines the light of love and day,
Where always is the drift OF May.
Those steel blue eyes must meet my own,
Without the look so grieved and worn;
That brow is much too proud and fair
To nurse a shade, or hold care.
Come now, and own that cloud TO me
Was but a jest of destiny,
My winsome Jean. -4iIdd.
