The SiiUer Lining.
Scribner

There's never day so sunny
But little cloud appears,
There's never life so happy
But has had its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines ont the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart SO hardened
But il has one tender spot;
We have only 10 prunc the border
To lind the iOrgetme not.
There's never q cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never a path 80 rugged
That bears not the print of feet;
Aud We have helper promised
For the trial. We may meet.
There's never 4 sun thst rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tlnts that CLEAN in the morning,
At evening are just rs bright:
And the hour that Is the sweetest
l. between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never dream Of sorrow
But the waking makes IL glad;
We shall look some day with wonder.
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way 80 narrow
Bat The entrance j. made straight;
There's always n guide Ia point IA
TO the little wicket gate
And the angels will be nearer
To soul that H. desOlate.

And Haunt it, heart out In the fair sunshine,
The ardent blossom, tremulOus on it, vine

To pour their souls forth into periumed wine
Impatient leaning from their sheltered bower.

WARNING.

Long winded Congressman, lawyers
and other gabby persons ought to
see in the fate OF one B.enman sn aw-
ful warning. Blenman was q ships
cook, a terrible talker, or, according
to some, a terrible swesrer, and in the
middle Of one OF his profane mono
logues over a stubborn fire his jaws
suddenly stuck and they have been in
that condition since. The captain of
the ship on which he sailed says that
he was swearing at the time he was
suddenly cut short, and superstitious
people will perhaps see in his afllic-
ton something like direct interposi-
ton of Providence. The case is, alto
gether, a very curious one The the
DRY that lockJaw can he produced by
too much talk Is disproved by our ex
perience Of Congress. That the LORD
who holds the universe in His hand
should show His power by operating
on the jaw Of q ships cook when so
many moro conspicuous subjects are
around loose is hardly probable.

LONDON, Sept. IL.
No reliable advices of the Russian
capture of Plevna are yet received.
The latest dispatches giving details OF
heavy lighting on Saturday show that
the Russians are gradually improving
their positions covering Plevna, but
fail to confirm the story of Turkish
defeat and flight. The decisive assault
was then contemplated for sunday.
The capture of Nicsics is of great value
to the Russians because il deprives
Turkey OF Ter hold upon Montenegro
and frees her mountaineers for effective
cooperation with the Russian invaders.
1t tends also TO encourage Servia to- en-
ter boldly into the war against the
Moslems.

other reports that there have been sew

that the Russians have secured a foot

that the present battle will afford decis-

The situation OF Bulgaria is. at the

NEWTON BOOTH.

OF all the political humbugs on this
coast, Newton Booth is entitled to the
palm. Democratic votes made him
Senator, aud yet he misses M oppor-
tunity to heap the vilest abuse upon

position. In recent speech in San
Francisco he said every path to pro-
gress led over the dead and decaying
carcass of the Democratic party. Three
years ago he bolted his own party be.
cause, as be claimed, Of the corrup
ton that had crept into it through the
management of the leaders, Sargent,
Gorham and Carr. In the late speech,
u which reference is made above, he
exhorted Republicans to rally to the
support Of their ticket as one man,
with these same wicked leaders at the
helm, and at q time, too, when their
populations were more notorious and
better established than ever before!
Verify, Newton, thou art the chief OF
denlagogues and humbugs.

credit journal, delivers itself of the
following bull:
Unless the legislature, at its call
session, finally disposes Of the State
debt question, the overthrow of the
Democratic party In Tennessee and
the triumph of soreheads and Radi-
Gals il inevitable. Such a triumph
would result i'm repudiatiOn beyond
doubt, and the setting back of the
State in progress and development
full quarter of century at least.
For, aside from the black and blist-
ering stain Ofrepudiation, the legis-
IatiOn of such mongrel crowd
would blast the prosperity of the
State and impoverish II by misdi-
recting its resources or robbing its
treasury.

TAe state Debt Not a Party Ques.
ffou

/
! We have never regarded the state
debt as a political party issue. The
debt was created by Whig, Demo-
cratic and Republican legislatures,
and was never made a pOliticalatest
of parties in this State. The fund
ing bill, though passed by a Demo-
cratic legislature, was voted for by
| the most pronounced Republicans
in the State, and therefore ought
not to be regarded as a Democratic
principle. The truth Is, some peo-
pie are too much disposed to "mix
things" Now, we do not regard
the present proposition 70 settle the
State debt as a party measure, but
one separate and distinct from pO-
litical parties-like the dog law and
other legislative acts. There are
honest and true Democrats all over
Tennessee, who differin their views
on this question, but that Ii no rea-
son that they cannot still be Demo
Gratis. 1t will not do for those who
favor low taxes TO say that sixty
cents on the dollar Is advocated by
the leading Republicans in theState,
including Brownlow's old paper,
therefore all Democrats advocating
il are Republicans. It Is not true;
neither is IL true that those Demo
Gratis who advocate a less deduction
Of the State debt than forty cents,
are enemies of the Democratic par
ty and working with the Republi-
cans. The truth il, the most prom
inent Republicans in the State are
For settling the debt at sixty cents.
1t is not party question, and, il IL
Is made a test OF Democracy, either
way, il will result disastrOusly to
he union Of the party. OF all the
papers we have noticed,
)nly one is disposed TO give the
question a party bias.
1t would be very hard for a sem
ible Democrat and a sensible old
inc Whig, i'm Tennessee, to find
where they now differ, ON principles.
They are together on the currency,
he tariff, internal improvements
nd homerule. If they differ about
name, there is no reason that they
annot vote together on principles.
here is no principle in a name.

The Oldest shingIe-roOfed House
I'm Tennessee.

From the Secretary Of the Ten
nessee Historical Society we learn
that the first house in Tennessee
that had stone chimney and a
shingle roof was built by John Nc
Mahan, Sr., in 1774, and Is still
standing. II is in Jefferson county,
the portion of the State first occu-
pied by the whites. When it was
built there was no other house west
of it, land only one cabin), to the
Mississippi river, except the milf
tary building at Chickasaw Bluffs,
near andsbelOw Memphis. The one
cabin west of this first house was on
Nollechucky river, built and occu-
pied by John Clark, west Of where
Jonesboro now stands. The McMa-
han house passed into the hands of
the Deadericks, who built a one
story brick house and used the old
original house as kitchen. 1t has
been weather-boarded. The logs are
of Observation-Disclosures American.
