Cliffs of the Dover coast, England
here is Opal and Onyx; while there
is a grand set of Agates, from the
Fertilization Agate, with its bold
and angular marking, to the deli
cate Moss Agate, already prepared
and cut for setting in the breach.
How almost inconceivable it is,
that these very dissimilar forms
should all be constructed out of the
same material, that most common
substance Silica. How are we inn
pressed with the power and resour-
ces of Nature, which silently but
constantly working. evolves such
varied and beautiful results. The
more we see and know of Nature,
the more of beauty do we detect,
and the more inspiration do we
draw. The heart of Nature is
heart of love-her atmosphere is
pure and tranquil. And he who
lives in that atmosphere, and ap-
proaches nearest to that heart, is
most favored. In thus personify-
ing nature, we do not mean to as
sist any materialistic or pantheistic
views +; the expressions Of Nature
are the UOices Of God.

THE Louisville Post and News
gives the following particulars of
the death Of Mr.. F. w. Gaisser, of
this city, who was killed on the
railroad last week:
William Gaisser was killed while
on duty as a brakeman on the l..
d n. railroad, in a tunnel, near
Elizabethtown. The father of
young Gaisser is a resident of
UlaEksVille, Tenn, and is Ia good
circumstances, The son had become
fascinated with railroad life, and,
resisting the entreatie5 of his par
ents, entered upon from pure love
of adventure. His brother arrived
in this city on Monday evening. on
his way TO Europe, and remained a
day or two 20 SOP William, and to-
getheF they visited the I<nicker-
booker TheateF Tuesday night. The
latter left On his train at midnight,
after receiving "a promise from his
brother to remain In the city until
Sunday, when they could be togeth-
er another day.
1t is supposed that the brakeman
was standing on top of the car when
the train anteped the tunnel, and,
his head striking against the roof,
he was knocked OFF, and, falling qn-
der the train, was run over and
killed. He was not missed for some
time after the accident, and on re-
turning for him, he was found life
less.

Death of Mrs. barbara A. Clayton.
Died, on the morning of the 18th
inst, Mrs. Barbara A. Clayton, wife
of Hon. A. NJ. Clayton, Of Lamar,
Miss. lin the 61st year of her age.
She was beloved by all that knew
her, for she was one who "loved
much" and with a sympathy not
confined to family, or to those who
could enhance her comfort and
pleasure but in her useful walk
through life, whenever she met dis
tress i'm mind, body, or estate, she
was ready to minister to our COM
mon humanity, with her substance
and sympathy. No wonder then,
that she was a universal favorite,
and that hundreds who through her
three score years have known her,
should call her 6ieSsedI
My remembrance of her date be-
fore disease had marred form or
feature, during her prolonged suffer
ings; so that to-day she still stands
before me, the attractive matron /
FIRST knew her, with face of sun
shine, and with that innocent indie
scribable simplicity of manners that
belongs to the higher moral natures,
and yet with a certain dignity
withal, that won all hearts.
Thanks that her long sufferings
are ended that the "wearisome
body" is at rest! Gone-the bur-
dened mind, the anxious heart, the
"long grief and pain" of impending
earthly separation-gone forever!
She knew that her Redeemer
Tired! knew it, from early girlhood,
to ripened age, and lived as one
knowing it in thought, and word,
and deed. Sorrow and grief are not
for herl She, the good, the pure,
the true, must go to kindred society,
to the spirits of the just made per-
feet. We are afflicted, but not des-
not desolate: The lawn
she walked, the chair, the couch,
the trees and flowers, all sacred |
home memories of her and hers are
ours; identified with her presence |
forever. 1t is the memories that |
cluster around such lives as hers,
that "smelI sweet and blossom in
the dust"
She died at sunrise. Died when
the earth was bright with summer
flowers.
she had another morn than ours!

4 Pleasant Trip.

The New Providence Dramatic
Club gave their proposed entertain
ment in Hopkinsville, last Tuesday
night. The attendance was very
complimentary, considering the
fact that the weather was, as Mr..
Gaines puts it, $50 very wickedly
hot" Mr.. Rhodes and Miss How
ell, in thir respective roles, created
intense enthusiasm. The proceeds
of the entertainment have been
given to Baptist Sunday school OF
New Providence. All of the party
express themselves delighted with
the trip, and in love with the good
people of HopkinsVille. They are
emphatic in their praise of the
Phoenix Hotel and Its courteous
proprietor. AS to Mr.. Gaines of
the New Era, they cannot say
enough in recognition of his kind
ness He will be held by the entire
party in memory Cete1na.

On Wednesday last we had the
pleasure of attending a picnic and
neighborhOOd reunion near the Sew
en- Mile ferry, on the south side of
the river. There was cutie a crowd
of youngsters in attendance, also a
very respectable delegation from the
city. The time was spent in social
converse and playing crOquet.
About / o'clock dinner was an
nounced, and the large crowd re-
paired to the feast of barbecued
lamb and pig, and we do not re-
member ever to have tasted of bet
ter cooked meats. All eat to their
utmost, and there were still many
carcases left. After dinner we had
some fine singing by the young la
dies and gentlemen of that neigh
bOrhood, which we pronounce par
excellence. Late in the evening the
crowd dispersed, with many good
wishes for the hospitable, kind peo-
pie OF the Southside.
CSince this was put in type we re
ceived a much more extended ac-
count from an esteemed lady con-
tributor, too late for insertion. 1t
will appear next week.

Alarm in memphis AGAIN.

-Four cases of yellow fever broke
out in the southeastern part of Mem
phis on Wednesday night in the
families of Messrs. Robert and Jas.
Hester. a man had died at the
opposite house some twelve days
before, though no one then thought
of attributing the death to yellow
fever. A Mr.. Williamson, of the
Chickasaw Guards, rOoming on the
corner of Jefferson and Front streets,
is sick, and tits feared that his case
will also turn out to be yellow fe-
yer.
We yet cherish the hope that our
Memphis friends will escape ar cpl
demic, but the alarm is already
affecting the business of the city
very seriously.

Moonlight Hop.

AS the stream of life bears us on
in its ceaseless flow, occasionally
there are smooth, bright places that
for a while cause us to forget the
rough and unpleasant waters over
which we have passed, and although
our frail little barque is sometimes
tossed to and fro upon the billowy
sea of life, yet We cannot fail to
observe the beautiful scenes which
appear as our little boat is waited
along, and after they have passed
out of our view. they still liager
upon our minds, and are ever cher
ished as the green spots in the an
mails of our lives.
So with those who attended the
chop" given at Moally's school
house on the night of the Sth OF
July, the recollection OF ii and its
eniOyments, will ever be fondly
cherished by all who were present.
According to programme, at an
early hour the young people of this
and adjoining neighb0rhO9ds might
have been seen vending their way
towards the place selected for the
chop" and by nine o'clock quite a
cOncourse of young gentlemen and
ladies had arrived at the dancing
ground, which was nicely arranged
and beautifully illuminated. The
silver-like rays of Luna, as they
poured down through the bOughs
of the trees which Over-spread the
dancing ground, and the dazzling
beauty of the fair ones, made the
scene rather enchanting, and all
things being in readiness, the Pace
Brothers began the sweet and mel
low strains Of music to which the
Fantastic toe" was tFipped until the
late hour of Il o'clock. Then 1T
seemed that the merry dance must
close, as all were somewhat fatigued
from dancing, and felt a little in
clined to pay dreamland a short
/ visit,
Much honor Is due Messrs. w. l..
/ Macon, s. T. Halliburton aRd DR..
B. F. MoaIly. Jr., for the polite and
gentlcmanly way in which the
shop" was gotten up and managed.

been munificent contributor be-
fore, has just made a donation of
ST, 900 to Southwestern Presbyterian
University; it is to be paid in ten
annual installments, and is amply
secured in case of the death of the
donor. 1t is a good thing to have
money; it is much better to know
how to use it.

To make life endurabIe while thu
thermometer ranges among thu
nineties, it is necessary to get on
of town once week. On Saturday
last we made our escape to No. 5
We wanted to see a baseball match
and we wanted to learn what No.
was thinking about the compromise
bill. The latter question was soon
answered-No. was not thinking
about it at all. She was thinking
about her corn and tobacco crops,
(which, by the by, are looking
much better than thosein other dis
tricts less favored by rain,) and the
portion of them whom we saw in
the neighborhood of Grants mill
were thinking about the baseball
match. Mention the State debt and
the compromise bill, and men had
to turn round time or two and
pull themselves together before they
could tell what you were talking
about. Every one, whose attention
you could gain, was decidedly in
favor of the compromise, but the
subject was not on their mind, and,
unless they can be walked up little,
the vote in No 5 will be a very thin
affair. DIR. Northington, always
public spirited, is doing his best,
and if Judge Smith and Col. House
would extend their travels in that
direction something might be done.
The baseball match took place in
a pleasant valley about quarter of
a mile from Grants mill, situated
between Messenger Creek and a
high ridge; its only fault was that
it was too narrow to give scope for
the game The combatants were
the Grant Mill Boys, a club in that
neighborhood, and a nine composed
of our younger GAINESVILLE boys. 1t
should be stated that the Mill Boys
are not boys at all but grown men,
while our players were mere boys,
all the older ones who used to play
with them being otherwise occu-
pied. The result was much as it
generally happens when boys play
against men; the boys played well
up to them for five or six innings
and then broke down. In the
sixth lining Elisha Beach, who had
been putting in beautiful work as
catcher, gave way altogether, his
strength exhausted and his hands
battered up, so that inning was vir-
tually played without a catcher at
all. In that inning the Mill Boys
made 26 runs, which of course de-
cided the match. What the score
was at the end we cannot say, but
it was very heavy against the
GAINESVILLE boys.
We concluded a pleasant day by
spending the night at hOspitable
residence of DIR. NOrthington, and
returned much refreshed in the
morning to church.

AN aeronaut, calling himself Count
Henri de Gilbert, was to make an
ascension from Cincinnati. When
all was ready he stepped in the bas-
ket and leaning over, first kissed his
wife and then another womar. This
so Infatuated the wife that as the
balloon was ascending the Count
saw his wire pitch into the other
women. This so annoyed him that
he paid no attention to his balloon,
which collided with chimney,
which disabled the air ship and
threw him out. He was bruised a
little, but his feelings were much
