Rest for the Weary.

What a strange thought all this
restless world is seeking rest. Those
who drag their weary bodies home
night after night, and fall down upon
restless beds, worried with the anxieties
and cares of business, are yet seeking
rest. and yet believe the time will come
when their desire shall be fulfilled. The
carc-worn brows you will meet Tomorrow
are all seeking rest, rest. 1t is not found
in povsrty-perhaps it turks under the
rich man, who all the while lies groan-
ing upon his couch, or stands with
wrinkled brow, perplexed with care.
Where is rest ? What is rest Is it the
divine principle Of peace within that
comes from God ? As we'll seek roses
upon the pallid cheek Of death as rest
out of God. The needle never rests till
it turns to the pole. IF little child is
frightened at bis play, he comes running
into the house to mother. She takes
him to her bosom, presses kisses Cd his
brow. and while she sings some lullaby
of love all fear fades from his faco, and
he sleeps in peace. God wants to ct q
mother for the whole world. Fit be
misfortune or poverty or gloomy FORE
bodings that make one unhappy, God
can give him rest. aud breathe lullaby
of louo ohova h;a temnesf tossed soul
that will still its raging. Rest, peace,
is principle that lies within us and
not without US. Some, possessing it,,
have rejoiced in their rags and poverty;
others, not possessing it, have found q
crowned head uneasy. Oh, that every
anxious, longing heart would look away
to Him who walks among the golden
lamps Of Heaven Take my yoke upon
you, and ye shall find rest unto your
souls"

An Eccentric Merchant.

At Hanau Germany a merchat re.
sides whose history is somewhat curious.
A quarrel with his step.mother induced
him to leave "his fathers house." when
young, and embark for England. Hav-
ing acquired in trade in London for
tune sufficient for comfort in Germany
he married, and returned to his native
town, when be found that his parents
were dead and that their property had
dcvolved to him. A large, rambling
house, containing thirteen rooms on a
floor, and adorned with pictures Of old
electors and land graves was part OF his
patrimouy. The house gees by the
name of Noah's Ark, from the singu.
larity Of its construction, arising, as the
story goes, from cause not less singu
lar. The upper story is q complete
second house erected on the first. The
builder, an opulens citizen, who pos
sessed ninety-nine houses in Hanau,
was ambitious of rounding his number
to one hundred ; but the jealousy Of the
citizens opposed his whim, unless he
consented to pave path to the church
some hundred yards long, with ri1 dol
lars. He declined this exorbitant tax
but unwilling to resign the distinction
of owning one hundred houses. he con-
tented himself with hundredth placed
on the top Of one Of the ninety nire.

The End OF an Infamous Life.

The manner Of the death Of WIN. NJ
Tweed was a fitting end Of a life ofshame
and ill.fame. "The choice and master
spirit" of a great. rich and populous
city played his people false, robbed them
of millions of money, debauched public
morals, forfeited public confidence, was
indicted, tried, sentenced like common
ielon, and has died in Jail like a common
thief. This is sad, sad story-this
story of the life of VIM. NJ. Tweed. For
wears he held New York city as in the
hollow of his hand. He was rich and
powerful, and the soubriquet "Boss" was
bestowed upon him not without good
cause. But he lived to gee fear turned
to scorn (; to see himself forsaksn BY
friends and derided by enemies, to find
himself once fugitive from the city
which he had so long governed ant
finally faced death in cell Of public
Jail With the history Of his life i |.
bound up rich moral and one which
is self apparent. Timo brings its ro
venges, and justice often overtaks' th

McEvoy's Confession.

II is WILL known throughout the Mate
that what McEvoy supposed were hi'
last moments on earth. when his coffin
was just ontside ofthe Jail door, and he
supposed he had but an hour to live
that he evinced disposition to tell wha'
he knew about more thsn one murder
other than the one for which he was tn
die, which had been committed in
South Carolina. 1t is said that McEvoy
was persuaded, the day upon which he
was to have been executed, not to put O
halter around the neck Of any man unless
it would save an innocent mans life
and that he had concluded TO let his
knowledge of these murders be buried
with him. Be this as it may, since his
respite he has thought better Of the
matter. and in various interviews with
Col. Claude f. Sawyer, member
Of the House of Representatives from
Aiken County. has given him the
information in his possession touching
the murder of W. 4. Sawyer, Jr., in
February. 1874.
The statements of McEvoy were con-
veye1 to Governor Hampton, which in-
duced that officer to offer a reward for
.be arrest of any party, or parties, who
were engaged in the murder. Acting
upon the revelations of McEvoy, Colonel
Sawyer and Mr.. Southall, deputy
sheriff Of Aiken County, proceeded a
few days ago to Euharlee, a small town
in Barlow county, Georgia, and there
arrested Solomon Aultman. Tho latter
surrendered readily. required no re-
QUESTION from Governor Hampton, but
consented tn return to South Carolina at
once. We learn that AuItman protested
his innocence while on his way back to
this State with Messrs Sawyer and
Southall. duplicating Elijah d Watson
and Milton A. Watson, two white men
who are first cousins, one residing at
Ninety-Six, in Abbev'lle county, and
the other at Johnston, in Edge9eld
County
The two Watsons were arrested yes
tsrjay, and are at present confined in
the county jails Of their respective coun-
ties Our informant, gentleman Who
arrived in Columbia Yesterday, and who
is well acquainted with the accused par
ties, states that Aultman, who is quite
q young man-not 30 years Of age yet
says that since the crime AuItmau's
hair has turned from raven bIacknesS
to be as white us cotton, and that he
says day or night. since the commission
of the bloody deed. he has never had a
moments peace of mind; that the rnur-
dersd young man has been ever before
him. whether sleeping or awake; like
Banquo's ghas,, he would not down, and
now that he has confessed his participa-
ton in the foul murder, he feels greatly
relieved in body and mind.
Mr.. Meyers, McEvoy's counsel was
in the city yesterday for the purpose OF
calling upon the Governor in McEvoy's g
behalf. 1t is not known what the re-
suit Of his interview with the exccu-
tive vas up to a late hour last nigh.

Put Agreements in Writing.

How many misunderstanding arise
from the loose way in which business
matters are talked over, and when each
party puts his own construction, the
matter is dismissed with the words "all

out all wrong, and becomes question

than three-fourths Of the country would
be saved if the people would put down
their agreements in writing and sign
their names to it. Each wor6 in our

Mothers as Doctors.

Practical mothers learn much by their
experience with the little bodies en-
trusted to their care. Some Of the most
common sense facts in the physical cul-
ture of these little ones known tn the
more experienced mothers may not come
amiss to those who have had but little
care Of children. The foundations must
be we'll laid to insure healthy and happy
children The child must be we'll nurscd,
we'll aired, well fed and well bathed.
By thorough understanding and prac-
tice OF these four simple rules, much Of
the physical, mental and moral suffer
ing in life would be avoided by parent
as we'll as child. If healthy child
(and q delicate one proportionately) is
regularly put to bed about dark, in q
quict, we'll ventilated, or even a cold
room, after a supper of plain food, it
will naturally awake at daybrcak, good
natured, with a keen appetite for a
wholesome breakfast. Nutritious, plain
food, at regular hours, with no candy
or stimulants, and free bathing help the
system to ward of many prevalent
children's ailments, and to bear with
much less danger the few that must
necessarily come to the majority Of little
ones. The child that is just given n
little confectionery, or any unsuitable
food; and then rocked to sleep, should
cause no surprise at waking peevish
and fcverish. 1t is simply the result Of
imaginary affection and want of knovl-
edge on the part Of the one 10 charge.
It will certainly pay 10 the end to search
diligently for the cause when little
