THERE WILL BE REST IN THE
EVENTIDE.

All day long the farmer may stand
between his plow handles, tn ming
the yielding soil may endure the
burden and heat of the day may
be burned by the scorehipg rays of
the sun, or be drenched by the sud
den showers; but by and by the sun
furls his banner of light, the bids
cease their singing and fly home to
their nests. The eventde has come,
and tired man and weary beast find
rest. All day long the smith may
ply his hammer, while huge drops of
perspiration roll down his smoke be,
grimed brow. He belongs to aclass
that must toll for their daily bread,
and work with him has become sees
ond nature. He likes the music Of
the bellows and cIink Of his hammer,
and as the huge sparks fly off from
the redhot iron he can almost imagine
he is Jove forging thunderbolts and
reveling in the forked lightning as
they wreath and Irvine around him
But as the sun goes down in the west
he lays by his leather apron, and
washes the SCOT aud smoke from his
face, aad goes home to enjoy the So
ciety of his family. For him there
has come rest at eventide.
All day the patient mother may
toll for her little ones, sympathizing
wi h them 10 their childish sorrows,
calming their fears and soothing
their pains, until she is worn out,
soul and body, but as night APP
proaches sleep touched their eyelids
with its magic wand land for weary
mother and tired child there has come
rest at eventide. And for US all there
will come rest at eventide, it matters
not what our occupation mag bs,nor
whxre our footsteps roam. Life, with
aIEsts pitifnl joy s and bitter exper-
FENCES, its feyerish dreams and empty
ambitious, its hopes aud fears, Us
loves and hates, will be ended after
awhile. AS we grow older our trust
diminiShes, as one by one of our
friends fail US and our expectations
are cut off, the apples Of IIesperides
turn to dead sea fruit within our
grasp, and the idols we all at times
20 wildly worship lie shattered at
ouf feet. Oh, the folies and vani
ties Of life! the lessons we have to
learn and unlearn! no wonder we
grow weary, many of us, before the
end Of thesjourney is reached.

SEVERE REPRIMAND,

Chief Justice Marshall was in the
habit of going to market himself, and
carrying home his purchases. Free
queutly he would be seen at sunrise,
with poultry in one hand vegetables
in the other. On one of these occa-
sions fashionable young man who
had removed to Richmond, was
swearing violently because ha could
find no one to carry home his tur-
key. Marshall stepped up and asked
where he lived. Being told, he said,
"That is my way, and will take it
for you"
When they came &c the house, the
young man inquired, What shall /
pay you z"
ooh ! nothing, said the Chief JUS
tice, "you are welcome. 1t was in
my way, and no trouble"
who is that old man who
brought homo my turkey for me ?"
inquired the young man of by
stander.

shall, Chief Justice of the United
States"
"Why did he bring home my tar,
key"
ITO give you a severe repri-
maud land to teach you to attend
to your own business" was the
reply.

OUR TWO SENATORS FROM A
BOSTON STANDPOINT.

Conspicuous among the gentle>
men from the South is John b
Gordon,o Atlanta He was wound,
ed eight times in Confederate bat>
ties, and bears the mark of scar
upon his cheek. He is tall, of
commanding presence, with straight
black hair, blue eyes, and not
wholly patrician nose. His col
league, "Ben" Hill, look less like a
soldier and more like scholar
He is tall and bent in the shoulder,
and wanders about in dreamy, alb,
stracted way. His hair is slightly
tinged with gray, his eyes are blue,
and he is much given to meditation
at dinner and at other inopportune
times. His speeches are good, his
eyes clear in their outlook and the
prevailing expression of the man,
both in person and countenance, is
one of sadness - Boston Herald

AFFAIRS on the Rio Grando are
growing more and more alarming
daily. 1t is stated tina! latest adj
vices from that region represent the
situation SO critical that the slightest
mis>step would precipi ate active
hostilities and inaugurate a bloody
war. The Nc xican Government has
taken steps to mass troops along the
frontier, and, very recently, consid-
cradle reinforcements have also been
added to the United States forces
there assembled. Unless the wisest
and most cautious diplomacy is ex-
erted at this crisis there is reason to
fear that hostiities may commence
at any moment, when we would have
something nearer home than the
Turco Russian conflict to engage our
attention.

A PERpLExING POINT. A legal
writer in the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger makes the point that it
Gov. Colqnitt dies between this
time and next November there will
be no legal government in Georgia
and state of anarchy will ensue
He takes the position that the new
constitution goes into effect from
the time that the Governor issues
his proclamation declaring that it
has been adopted. The constitution
kills the old Legislature and as the
new Legislature will not meet and
organize until November there is no
President of the Senate or Speaker
of the House to ia ke the place, of
the Governor in the event of his
death or resignation, nor is there
any person authorized, in such a
contingency, to call the General
Assembly together 10 special session.
1t is not probable that the Covert
Or will either die or resign during
the next eleven months, but either
death or resignation might occur and
produce very ugly political com
plication.

EXPERIENCE OF Two KENTUCK-
IANs IN MEXICO. -Gal0eSton, Teas,
Dee. 6 Two Kentuckians, Picket
and Holland, arrived in Galveston
to>day from Monterey, Mexico, where
they were engaged in photography.
They were compelled to leave, owing
to the intense feeling against Amer
leans. Passing through the Sierre
Madre mountains they were attacked
by ten Mexicans, under the COM
mand of Pedro Dimes, and robbed.
Holland was shot in the right hand.
Before reaching the Rio Grande at
Ranch Gertrudes, they met band
of fifty robbers. who ordered them
to leave Mexico at once. They were
commanded by young Engliohman,
who claims to be son of General
now 10 the service of England. For
the past five years he has been en-,
gagged in smuggling from the free
zone and stealing cattle from Texas,
and has amassed large fortune by
this illicit business. He said that
over fifty thousand Mexicans would
cross the border before Christmas,
under command Of Cortina, who was
already at liberty and recruiting for
the coming war. Holland and Pick-
EFT crossed the river at Ranch Los
Flores, and travelled thence to Vic
tora, where they took train en- route
for Galveston. They believe war
will be forced on Texas 10 few
weeks. Mexicans are everywhere
prep lriug for it and gathering at
ranches along the lower Rio Graude.
The route from Rio Grande to San
Pat-icio, in Texas, is not safe for
Americans, and signs of danger ae
everywhere evident.

A couple of young men were about

they passed the window of the parlor,

without waiting for an answer, opened

A NovEL METHOD OF PRoDucISG
ISsENsIBILITy TO PAIN.-Dr. Holmes
recently removed tumor from the
left side of Mr.. b. +. Herrin, of the
size of an ordinary apple. While the
operation was being performed, Mr..
Herrin was reading the news in a dai-
ly paper, and was not aware that the
knife was being used until the tumor
was placed on the table before him.
The method of destroying insensibili

snow, added to it a tablespoonful Of
table salt, and applied this freezing
mixture Ia the tumor until the SUR
faoe was white. When the knife was
used the tumor was insensible. II Mon.

Visitors to the Centennial will doubt
less renenb*r that one Of the sewing
machine exhibitors in Machinery Hall
whose display occupied a very promi
nent position on principal aisle, kept
posted, during the continuance Of the
Exposition, large sign. inviting all
corners, and especially those who own
ed sewing machines, to inscribc their
names in a handsome register. The
inducement offered was, that after the
close Of the Exhibition an elegant sew.
ing machine would be presented to
some one Of the signer-. and all
would have equal chances in draw
ing for the prize. OF course the
effect Of this was TO attract hundreds
of people towards this particular ex.
hibitors display; and thus his goods
were brought into especial prominence
But that was mer ely a secondary OBJ
ject. A very large percentage of those
who stopped to read the sign wrote
their names, and told the kind Of sew.
ing machine they were using. Then
a neat certificate w.s presented in re-
turn. which established the signcr's
claim to one share in the drawing. In
this way thousands-.perhaps tens of
thousands-of names of machine users
were obtasned. We always found a
crowd about the book, often large
enough to partially block the posssge.
