FUTURE DISCOVERY. .

A striking illustration of the popular
ity of scientific roas sJning is to be found
in an editorial which recently appeared
in the New York Heraid as follows:
The widest Imagination is unable to
predict the discoveries of the future. For
all we know, families in the next century
may pump fuel from the river and illu-
inmate their houses with ice and electri-
city. Iron vessels, properly magnetized, /,
may sail through the air like balloons,
and trip to the Rocky Mountains may
be made in an hour. Perhaps within fifty
years American grain will be shot into
Liverpool and Calcutta through iron pipes
laid under the sea. BY means OF condons
ed mir and cold vapor engines, excursion
parties may travel along the bed of the
ocean, sailing past ancient wrecks and
coral. On land, the intelligent farmer
may till the soil of thousand acres a day,
while his son cuts wood with platinum
wire and shells corn by electricity. The
matter row contained in q New York
daily may be produced ten thousand
times in a minute, on little scraps of
past1board, by improving photography,
and boys may sell the news OF tho world
printed on visiting cards, which their
customers will read through artificial
eyes. Five hundred years hence mu-
sician may play II piano in New York
connected with instruments in San Fran
cisco, Chicago, New Orleans and other
cities, which will be listened to by half a
million people. A speech delivered in
New York will he heard instantly in the
halls of these cities; and when fashionable
audience in San Francisco 60 to hear

forming III New York or Philadelphia. &.

Fathers, you can make your chill
dren the brand of shame or the dia
dem of your glory. AS the likeness
of Phidias was cut deep in the
girdle of his Minerva, so are you
photographed on the souls of your
children. They will reproduce the
tempers, vices and blasphemies
with which you are cursing, or the
virtues with which you are blessing
home. Show us home where the
air is burdened with oaths, obscen
tiles aud the blight of drunkenness,
and instead of tender buds matur-
ing into immortal fruit for heaven,
we will show poisonous bushes, the
fruit of which will drop into hell
A drinking, swearing tyrannical IA
Their, who goes about his home
scolding, scoring and cursing, is
doing the devils work for his chill
dren. For such fathers, the great
Teacher said: lit were better that
a milestone were hanged about your
neck and you were drowned in the
depths of the sea" We beseech
you, by the love you ought to bear
your children, by all the pride and
houe you have conferred in them, by
the needs Of socie y and the require
ments OF God, set sober and Cody
example before those who are copy
ing YOU day by day. lest you foul
the spring of life of your child by

The Man Who Don't Read.

The following well drawn por-
trait OF "the man who don't read"
is taken from an exchange:
The man who don't read is al
ways prating about how things
"used to was" He is a knowing
fellow, full of wornout truisms. He
is a rich and inexhaustible mine for
every sharper who travels on his
wits, selling poor clothes for high
prices, or an expired patent right.
The man who don't read has very
large disgust for "new tangled
things" and believes IN his children
getting along as he did, and boasts
that he never went to school but
two quarters. We like this sort of
men; there ought to be one in every
community, just for the benefit they
are as an example for the parents
who do believe they owe something
more to their families, to them
selves, than to be mere dull brutal
machines.
The man who don't read usually
has a mission-it is to grow corn
and pork and pay taxes, or work
through the week at his bench or
forge as a machine. His home is
place to eat and sleep, his life a
round of drudgery-a struggle for
only bread and butter. The man
who don't read falls behind the age
in which he lives; drops into the
narrow groove of his personal Oh
servation, and declares the progress
around him to be departures from
the virtues and goodness of by-gone
times. Every day has a supersti-
tious sign, every change of the
moon, every sudden variation of
the weather fills him with prophecy
which bodies every body i'll luck.
The man who don't read misjud-
ges the common natural laws of mat
ter, the easily explained changes of
vegetable and animal life are sub
jects for superstitious dread and
trouble. The great progress of the
world in literature, silence and art,
the news of the day, at home and
abroad are Drinks toithe man don't
read.

In dressing salad mind this law:

To see boiled mutton minus eapers.
Boiled turkey, gourmands know, of course.
Is exquisite with celery sauce.

Who serves roast fowl with tastely stuthngi
Smells require egg and biscuit powder
Don't put tat pork in your clam ehowder.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will you give US a
short space in your widely known
and much appreciated columns? or
will you give US our just deserts,
the waste basket? We are always
anxious for Thursday to come, be-
cause the papers come out that day,
and especially the CITIzEN-a well
come visitor, the source of much
pleasure in the family circle, in the
street, and everywhere it is read.
Our gallant young men and gay
young ladies welcomed the new
year with a party given at Col. A.
II. Abernathy's, where merriment
and music was the order of the day.
What treat for those little fellows
whose hearts have been so cruelty
pierced by Cupid's dart!
A few weeks since DIR. II. L. E,
one of our most gallant and stout
hearted young Americas, who has
nerve enough ordinarily to cut off
mans head, was called upon by
lady whose life was about to be
taken by raving maniac to rescue
her; but in spite of the lamentable,
distressing, agonizing and heart
rending shrieks, he was heard to
use the following language;
christmas comes but once a year,
If get jolly you needn't keer."
So saying, he. went his way rejoic
ing.
We have preaching the 1st and 81
Sundays in every month by the Rev.
j. A. McFerrin, our very efficient
pastor. Notwithstanding the hard
times and the scarcity OF money,
the farmers are anticipating bright
future-an abundant harvest this
year. Mr.. Jno. M. Aymett, one of
our most energetic and model farm
ers, will gin about two hundred
bales of cotton this season. Mrs.
Day, accompanied by her nephew,
Mr.. w. H. Webb, left a few days
since for Mississippi to visit a sister
that she has not seen in about thirty
years. Jan. 10th. ALVIN.

A Man Marries His Sister

The following strange story is
now going the rounds of our ex
changes, and vouched for as an
DER true tale.
Thirty-three years ago, family
named Benton, consisting of father
mother, son and daughter, resided
in town called Blank. The father
was wealthy and lived in style, and
his daughter, Mabel, child between
two and three years ofsage was al
ways elegantly dressed, and George,
the son, a boy of seven, was prepar-
ing to enter an Eastern school.
One day, little Mabel disappeared,
and her parents never heard of her
again, although they spent thou
sands of dollar in searching for her.
The heart broken mother died soon
after the loss of her darling, and the
father wandered over this country
and Europe. and finally settled in
New York where he died. George
grew to manhood, and the memory
of his lost sister was almost effaced
from his mind. Ia his twenty sew
enth year while visiting a Married
friend, he fell in love with the gov
erness of his friends children, a
beautiful girl of about twenty three,
and after some months they were
married, and lived happily for five
or six years, a boy and girl being
born to them during that time.
BY the death of an uncle in San
Francisco George was left a consid
cradle fortune, and the lawyer who
conveyed the intelligence to him
also stated that his sisters career
had been traced. A tramp on his
deathbed at u St. Louis police station
confessed that he and two compan-
ions had stolen little Mabel Benton
for her clothes and a locket she
wore, and that she continued with
them for several years, when her
bright, pretty face attracted the at
tention of kind hearted lady In
Ohio who adopted her and sent her
to school, where she remained until
her patroness died. Mabel then be-
came a teacher in a large school, in
Cincinnati, but as her health began
to fail, she applied for position as
governess, and was now in the fam
lily of Mr.. NJ, or at least that was
the last place he had heard OF Der
being in.
"What was the name of the fam
lily she was with?" asked George.
"M-," was the answer.
"What name did my sister havef"
mabel Ferris"
my God" cried George, in
agony, "She has been my wife for
five years"
Upon further investigation this
proved TO be the truth, and the girl
nearly went crazy, as she was a
devout Episcopalian. A separation
ensued, all property being equally
divided. The children were placed
with friends, as neither parent
could bear the sight of what was to
them the fruit of a crime against
God and man. The poor girl is
still living in quiet city in New
England, while the husband and
brother, after spending all his
property save few hundred dollars
in dissipation, shut himself off
from all communication with his
friends, and is to-day poor farmer
in this county of Garrett, among
strangers, and where few know his
sadly remarkable story.

Ignorance il bliss" until you cum

Whites and drink are the great
trump kards; mankind thinks more

emmy part ov their property.
Life is made Ov sunshine and

Ignorance and cunning is always

After a man lives to be thirty
eight years he can't form any nu

Now and Then.

1t is only now and then that such men
as Hon. Alex. III. Stephens, Ex-Goy,
Smith and Elk Gov. Brown of Georgia,
endorse a medicine for the throat and
lungs, and when they do it is pretty
good evidence that the remedy must be
good for the cure OF coughs, colds and
lung affections. They recommend the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their
testimonials are to be seen around the
ten cent sample bottles of the Globe
