Brain and Muscle.

There is no more valuable class of
men, in any community. so far as re-
suits are concerned, than those who
work with muscle-the class generally
known as laboring men," Their CO.
adjutors-the men who labor with brain
are, however, equally valuable. Out
side of what is called professional
life," they are dependent upon each
other. There is an unavoidable partner
ship between them, and they are each
others best friends. The one directs
the other performs and both accom-
plish. The distinction between the two
classes is made in reference to the d.
rect means by which each one supports
himself, and fills his place in life.
Nobody pretends that the working
man does not think, any more than
that the worker by mind cannot saw
wood. or dig in q mine. But the old
notion that the lawyer, the clergyman,
the doctor, the school teacher, the
newspaper man, set id omne genus"
do not labor, has been exploded. There
is many specialized eye and thin white
finger, that tells the secret of solid hard
work.
The brain, like the muscular organ
ism, develops and wears out with hard
work. They are machines that cannot
last forever. The sleepless watch in
your pocket grows rickety in time and
the forty-ton locomotive breaks down
at last. The one is gold and the other
is iron but both must work and rest
and, like any other machine, the part
which does the most work, wears out
first. The sturdy blacksmith's legs
and appetite are good, and his mind
still bright, when he can no longer
WELD his hammer. The students eyes
wear out before his feet or hands.
The little fact OF the destruction of
parts OF our being by hard usage, shows,
in the failure of particular mental fac
ulties, that headwork is hard work.
Brain needs rest. It lisa noticeable fact
that men famous for some special intel.
lectual power, begin to grow old in that
power first. Napoleon's greatness lay
In his wonderful stragetic and executive
ability. The prison of Elba could
not hold him. The bare rocks of st.
Helena did. He had begun to wear out.
The literary world has never produced
a more versatile and active intellect than
that of Walter Scott. He used every
part of his brain at once, and used It
necessarily. When his mind gave way,
it broke all over. He died almost an
idiot. The most brilliant of American
wits and humorists, John G. SAKE, who,
until the sixtieth year of his life, was
the delight of every jovial company he
entered-who was restless in his funni-
ness, has sunk into settled melaucho-
liza. He writes no more. He sits at
home, in the very abjectness of the
blues, and refuses even the presence of
his dearest friends. His intellect is as
good as overall but the Jolly part.
That is worn out.
That the brain may work, and work
hard, is as plain truth as is the hard.
ness of the laboring hand. That it
needs rest and variety. as much as the
stomach does, is proven to us every
day Hackeye.

A man convicted of bigamy would have

Picturesque Scenes in Atlanta.

On Monday you may see tall, straight

carrying enormous bundles of soiled
clothes upon their heads; or man with
great stack of homemade, implanted,
and splint-bottomed chairs, out from

which his black visage peers curiously;
or urchins under baskets of flowers
poised like crowns. Troops of little
black boys, bare-footed, bare-headed,
and ragged "to a Degree" as certain

1t, go about carrying bags in which they
gather up rags in manner wholly diff
ferent from the New York chiffoniers.
AT certain corners stand farmers in scant
clothing of homespun, and the most
bucolic OF manners, waiting for some
one to buy for a dollar, or even half a
dollar, the little load of wood piled up
on the center of a homemade wagon SO

One Of Frederick the Greats Bloody
Battles.

The battle of Torgau, fought by Fred
erick the Great in I76O, is well known
to have been one of the most murder
ously contested actions which have ever
taken place, but until lately no trust
worthy enumeration has ever been given
OF the killed, wounded and missing on
either side. In the last number of the
Maitdr Wochen6ldtt, the organ of the
German general staff, carefully prepared
tables are published of the losses suffered
by the several Prussian regiments of
cavalry and battalions of infantry en-
gagged, and from these it appears that
the fifty-nine battalions which took part
in the action, and which numbered alto
gether $4,000 officers and men, lost a
total of 1860 officers and men, or
about sixty per cent. of their aggregate
effective. In the thirty-nine battaiions
which fought under the personal direc
ton and immediate orders of the King.
the proportion of losses was even great
er; so that after the action the five bat
talions of grenadiers had to be formed
into one battalion, the remnants of six
battalions OF two other regiments being
also temporarily organized into one bat.
talon. OF the $4,000 infantry soldiers
who went into action $3.50 were killed.
l 1856 were wounded, while $3.50 were
reported as missing. As a contrast to
this terrible proportion of killed, wound
ed and missing, it may be mentioned
that the loss suffered at Gravelotte
amounted to only one-elevcnth of the
whole number of troops engaged on both
sides, at Worth and Marsha Tour to one
..xth, at Spicheren to one-eigth, at
Aomgsratz to one-tifteenth only, and at |
and Solferino to one-eleventh. |

YESTERDAY.

What if but yesterday
laughed and said to him nay,
When here's to day, to-day
To change my mind and lay
A sweeter word than nay!
What if but yesterday
told him that my nay
Could never turn to yea,
Though-he should pray and pray
Forever and q day!
What If but yesterday
He swore he would obey
My cruel will, nor stay
To further sue or pray
Then strobe in wrath away?
What If but yesterday
Like this he strobe away,
When here's to- day, to- day
For him to hear me say:
al love you, Love, to day.

THE PRINCE LMPERLAL'S DEATH!

Waieth woman I" Oh my Godr'
A breaking heart in a broken breath
A hopeless cry DER her heart hopes death!
Can words catch the chords OF the winds thai
wall,
. When loves last lily lies dead in the vale?
Let her alone,
Under the rod
With the infinite moan
OF her soul for God.
All song! you may echo the sound OF pain,
But You nevermay shrine,
Inverse or line,
The pang of the heart that breaks in twain.
Waileth woman-Oh! my Cod
Wind driven waves with no tears that ache,
Why do your passionate pulses throb?
No lips that speak-have We souls that sob?
We carry the cross-ye wear the crest,
We have our GOd-and we, your shore,
Whittier ye rush in the storm to rest;
We have the Ravens of holy prayer
And we have n HOpe-haye We despair?
For storm rocked waves We break evermore,
hdown the shores and along the years.
In the whitest foam of the saddeSt tears,
And we, as We, oh! waves, gray waves!
Drift over sea more deep and wide,
For we have sorrow and we have death,
And We have only the tempest's breath,
But we have God when heart oppressed,
As calm and beautiful shore ofrest.
oh waves! sad waves! how you flowed be-
tween
The crownless Prince and the exiled Queen!
Waileth q woman-Oh! my God!
Her hopes are withered-her heart is crushed
For the Love of her love is cold and dead,
The JOY of her joy hath forever fled;
A starless and pitiless night hath rushed
On the Light of her life-and far away
in an Afric wild lies her poor dead child,
Lies the Heart of her heartfelt her alone
Under the rod
With her infinite moan
Oh! my God!
He was beautiful, pure and brave,
The hriphtasf ora
Of royal race
Only his throne is but grave
Is there fate in flames?
Is there doom in names?
All what did the cruel Zulu spears
Care for the Prince or his mothers tears?
What did the Zulu's ruthless lance
Care for the Hope of the future France?
Crieth the Empress" Oh. my SOM"
He was her own and only one;
She had nothing to give him but her love:
Twas kingdom enough on earth-Aboye
She gave him an infinite faith in God.
Let her Cry her cry
over her own and only one,
All the glory is gone-is gone,
Into her broken hearted sigh.
MOaneth a mother" oh my childp'
And who can sound that depth of woe?
Homeless-thrOneless crOwnless now
She bows her sorrow wreathed brow

Let her alone
Beneath the rod
With her infinite moan,
oh! my God!

The mystery of the murder of Mrs. Hull
on Wednesday morning is still unsolved, ana
to all appearances is no nearer solution than
when the police first began to investigate it.
The house, No. 14O West Forty-second-st.,
was again examined carefully by the police
yesterday, and the statements of the servants
and other occupants were taken by
superintendent Walling, and reduced to writ
ing by official stenographers from Police
Headquarters. There was no variation from
the first accounts given on the previous day.
and at the close of the investigation the
police, who had been in charge of the house
since a. M, Wednesday, were withdrawn.
1t was stated on high official authority that
there were no facts known to the police last
night which could serve as reasonable foun-
dation for suspicion against any known per-
son. The keenest public interest in the
tragedy was shown yesterday and there was
a crowd of people i'll front of the house.
