IF.
TO MAMMA.


i'll were doomed the world to roam,
And could not, could not linger near,
Still would my bosom be thy home,
And thou, and thou to mem'ry dear.
Still would thy form and features seem
To dawn, to dawn upon my sight,
Still wouldst tnou be in ey'ry dream,
Ny vision, vision of delight.
If from thee should thus depart,
And speak, and speak the last adieu,
You'd cling around nv saddened heart,
As now, as now it clings TO you.
Alas! how slow, and, obi how weary,
The wretched wletched hours would fee!
How sad my hearth how lone and dreary!
If'twas, if twas berett of thee.
No matter what my fate might be,
In pleasure, pleasure, grief or cares,
That heart would ever turn TO thee,
And bless thee, bless thee in its prayers.
If misfortunes thee should o'ertake,
And troubles, troubles thick attend,
There's one who never would forsake,
He'd be, he'd be thy faithful friend.7
Ifsickness laid thee on thy bed,
Thou wouldst not, wouldst not there
remain.
Could that one suffer in thy stead,
He would, he would endure the pain.
If sorrow should thy life befall,
Or ought, or ought thy heart distress,
That one would yield peace, pleasure, all
To bring thee, bring thee happiness.
True love TO noble acts will rise,
And ever, ever be the same:
The love that makes no sacrifice,
Does not, does not deserve the name.
The love ting heart most needs,
Is love, is love that actions render,
The love that speaks in noble deeds,
The love, the love that's kind and tender.

Boys Think About It.

Boys, did you eyer think that this
great world with all it's wealth and
woe, with all it's mines and noun
tains, its oceans, seas and rivers,
steamboats, and ships, railroads,
steam printing presses and magnet
ic telegraphs, will soon be given
over to hands of boys of the pres
ent age? Believe me, and look
abroad upon your own inheritance,
and get ready to enter upon your
duties.
Yes, boys, as your fathers drop
one by one into the grave, some boy
that was, but now a man, must take
his place. There is no vacuum in
business; there is no stoppage in
the affairs of life; we are not missed
by the great business world. The
King, the Emperor, the President,
the Pope, may die, but there is no
vacancy; the chair is filed instanter,
and he who fills it was once a boy.
|, But, boys, you can never be tru-
ly great, important, intelligent and
influential men unless you lay the
foundation in your boyhood days
at school or in the business you are
learning. Attention, close atten
ton develops the true man.
Boys, bad habits in youth will
follow you in manhood, and will
only grow stronger with your
growth and maturity. Avoid, then,
all bad habits, and especially those
of drinking, gambling and licen-
tiousness. They not only unfit you
for the great and responsible du-
ties of life, but unfit you for good
and respectable citizens.
Cultivate thirst for knowledge,
good books and intelligent society,
Do not cultivate love for the bill
lard table and card table at the ex.
pense of your mind. A little recre
alton is all well and desirable
enough, but be moderate in your
Measures

Excerpta From the Diary Of 7. S.

Bohemian Academy is now not
only enlivened during the week by
large number of pupils under the
instruction of Prof. VIM. Ander-
son, and his very highly accom-
plished and most estimable wife,
but also on Sabbath afternoons,
when the Sabbath school, reauing
club and singing club hold their
respective exercises.
The Sabbath school at Mt. Mori-
alb was recognized the 1st Sabbath
in May with brighter prospects
than usual. The following officers
were elected: Geo. Russell, Super
intendent; S. c. johnson, Assistant
Superintendent; j. NJ. Paisley Sec.
and Treas. and A. Reed Librarian.
1t was our privilege to be present
at the meeting of Richland Presby-
terry, convened at Ebenezer Church,
Maury county, Tenn, on Friday
the Goth day of April at 104 O'Clock.
The retiring Moderator preached
the opening sermon. Rev. l. H.
Gillian was elected Moderator.
Revs. r. B. Oliver, Oxford, Presby
rtey, aud w. NJ. Robinson, McMinn-
vile Presbytery, presented letters of
dismission and recommendation,
and were received as members of
this Presbytery. Revs. H. Temple
ton of Columbia, G. g. Stockard of
Clifton, and Elders VIM. Park of
Lawrenceburg, and j. Conyers
Smith of Pulaski, were chosen COM
misssioners to the Gen. Assembly
to convene at Lebanon, Tennes see,
the 3rd Thursday, being the 10th
of May, 1878. Waynesboro was
chosen as the place of the next
meeting of the Presbytery.
The congregation in attendance
on Sabbath was SO large that l sup
pose less than one-half found seats
in the church.
1t was our good fortune to share
the kind Inequalities of our excel
lent friend jeff Wray, formerly of
Campbellsyille. 1t was refreshing
and encouraging to us to be with
the kind, liberal hearted, and enter
prising people of Ebenezer. May
we be blessed and strengthened by
many Ebenezer's-many "stones of
help"-as we make the pilgrims
journey to the brighter land.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
Of intelligent and valuable people Is
most alarming, making life actually
burden instead of pleasant existence of
enjoyment and usefulness as 1t ought 70
be. There is no good reason for this, If
you will only throw aside prejudice and
skepticism, and take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bot
ties of this medicine have been given
away TO try its virtues, with satisfactory
results in every case. You can buy a
sample bottle OF your druggists, Stump
ter 4 Lacey, for 10 cents 10 try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi-
lively sold by all druggists on the West
ern Continent. jun2l-eow-1y-2

The Nashville Banner of the 10th
inst, signalizes its extra sheet with
q labored article in defense of repu
diation. Reciting the history of
the passage of the funding bill of
1878, it says:
"But every objeo6lon TO the pas
sage OF the bill was overcome by
the influence and money of the lob
byists, and the bill passed"
Now, we respectfully submit to
our contemporary whether it is not
its clear duty, if it be fact that
money was used to corrupt either
members of the Legislature, or 9th
ers, so as to induce them to vote for
the passage of an act that was i'm
proper, and which they would have
voted against but for the fact that
they were paid to vote for it, is it
not the fair thing for the Banner to
put down in black and white who
they were. We want to know, and
the people of Tennessee are entitled
TO know if it be fact. No excuse
can be given Tor withholding the
names Of the corrupted. We
pledge ourselves to publish their
names in great big black letters, if
the names and the proofs are fur
nished.-[ Gallatin Examiner.

Written Up.

An exchange very appropriately
suggests that now is the time to
whiten up your fences, and gives
this receipt for making white
wash that is nearly equal to paint.
Take a barrel and slake a bushel of
your fresh lime in it, by covering
the lime with boiling water. After
it is slaked add cold water enough
to bring it to the consistency of
good whitewash, then dissolve
in water and add one pound of
white vitriol (sulphate of zinc and
one quart of fine salt. This makes
a whitewash that will stick as well
as paint. 1t owes it's durability
chiefly to the white yitriol, which
hardens and tixes the wash.
