stretch away in long lines on either
sidewalk; the gay colored transpa-
rencies are ablaze with attractions
The saloon and billiard hall are
brilliantly Illuminated; music sends
forth its enchantment; the gay
company begin tC gather to the
haunts and houses OF pleasure; the
gambling dens are aflame with pala-
tial splendor; the theaters are wide
open; the mills of destruction are
grinding health, honor, happiness,
hope, out of the thousands of lives.
The city under the gas-light is not
the same as under Gods sunlight.
The allurements and perils and pit
falls of night are a hundred-fold
deeper and darker and more de-
structive. Night lite in our cities is
dark problem whose depth and
abysses and whirlpools make US
start back with horror. All night
long tears are falling, blood Is
streaming.
Young men, tell me how and
where you spend your evenings.
and-I will write out the chart of
your character and final destiny,
with blanks to insert your names.
1t seems to me an appropriate text
would be, "Watchmac, what of the
nightY" Policeman pacing the beat,
what of the night? What are the
young men of the city doing at
night? Where do they spend their
evenings? Who are their associa-
ates? What are their habits?
When do they go in, and what time
do you see them come out? Police
man, would The night life of young
men commend them to the conf
dence of their employers? Would
it be TO their credit?
Make record of the nights of
one week. Put in the morning
paper the names of ali the young
men, their habits and haunts, that
are on the street for sinful pleasure.
Would there not be shame and con-
fusion? Some would not dare to
60 to their places of business; some
would return holne at night; some
would leave the city; some would
commit suicide. Remember, young
man, that in the retina OF the All
seeing Eye there is nothing hid but
shall be revealed on the last day.

The Grateful Gambler.


The cool, unfllnching gaze of q
brave man. il is said will awe a
tiger. The statement is perhaps
an exaggerated one, but we will tell
and an incident of a man who awed
a human tiger.
Some forty years ago, the citi-
zens of Natch,Z, aroused by The
excuses of the gamblers intestmg
their city, drove them out and
threatened them with death # they
ever returned. Prominent amOng
these citizens was Capt. Quitman, d
leading lawyer of Natchez A
month or two later, he and a small
band OF men crossed into Texas 80
aid those who were lighting Santa
Anna and his MeXicans.
Late one night Quitman arrived
at San Augustine, where he found
the people overawed by a large
gang OF gamblers, some of whom
had lately come from Natchez.
They recognized him and resolved
TO have revenge.
Quitman quartered his men in n
large building, while he occupied a
room in an adjacent house. He had
just taken of his coat, when the
door was thrown violently open.
A tall, fierce looking man entered.
In his belt was a bowie-knife, and
in his right hand he held a pts
| toll
Fortunately, Quitman had not
laid aside his belt-pistols, and draw
ing one he raised it quickly, SC
that the man was covered by it,
81 know you and you know me,
he said, looking the gambler calmly
in the eye. II desire no quarrel
with you, but | don't fear you"
The gambler glared at him tor "A
moment, ard then his features re-
Taxing into a smile said
Captain. you're a brave man,
and l will be your friend" and he
retired quietly, closing the door at
ter him.
A few week after, the war being
at an end, Capt. Quitman was re-
turning home overland, accompa-
nted by only his negro servant.
Crossing a small stream, and
mounting the bank, which had
dense underground on both sides,
he, found two trees felled across
the path.
Suspectlng that he was in a trap,
he turned and saw three men with
guns, coming up in the rear. He
could neither advance nor retreat.
Instantly springing to the ground
he drew his pistol, and placed the
horse between himself and the rob
bers. The sharp crack of a rifle
behind him, and the rush of the
ball over his head, caused him TO
turn. Seeing the gambler whom he
had met at San Augustine gnllop
ing his horse at full speed towards
him, he prepared To sell his life as
dearly as possible
The man, dropping his gun TO
show that he was not an enemy, ap
preached. Recogniz ng QuiimaE,
he said;
Captain, Tn mighty glad | had
the chance to rye you. | and my
partners were coming this why.
and I, being in the advance, saw,
as / turned the angle OF the path
the situatian. Lots see it / bit
one of those robbers"
On searching, they found traces
of blood, but no signs of the rob
bers.
Some years after, this gambler
was convicted Of gambling, ami
sentenced TO six months impri-on
ment and 81 900 fine. Quitmau
paid one half Of the fine. The
gambler, it is said, subsequently re
formed. and became an estimable
man, respected by all who knew
him

Aggravated Case of Cat,

The Baltimore Sun gets off the
following: ga west end man had
the fat roof of the L of his house
tarred, and when six or seven cats
got on it, the following night, they
could yell and arch their backs and
try TO get pull on all four feet at
once, but they couldn't lift them
selves free, and their signing was
frightiul, aud people in the neigh
borhood began to chuck things at
them, and the owner of the house
forgot about the tar and went bare
footed and in his robe de mutt upon
the roof to chase them of, and pref
ty soon he found he couldn't stir,
and he began to whoop and
swear, and a policeman got a lad
der and climbed upon the roof and
when he came up over the edge on
his hands and knees he had to re-
main in that posture, and he used
very emphatic language. Meantime

Night Life of Young Men.

One night often destroys a whole
life. The leakage of tie night
keeps the day forever empty.
Night is sims harvesting time.
More sin and crime are committed
in one night than in all the days of
the week. This is more emphatic
ally true of the city than of the
country. The street lamps, like a
file of soldiers with torch IN hand,

Bohemian.

The agricultural outlook, is quite
favorable now, and promises abun-
dant crops. The busy season is
about over and our citizens are
seeking n little repose, elated with
the flattering prospects of pros
perity.
The enthusiasm manifested in
behalf of county candidates waxeth
warm, particularly in the sheriff 5
election. The Cincinnati nomina-
tions meet the appreciation of our
citizens, who will support their
standard bearers with enthusiasm
Notwithstanding Capt. TsliaferrO
was our decided choice for con-
gress, we will support the Demo-
cratic nominee.
The health of our community is
good and our young people seem TO
enioy themselves. Prot. r. Z. Yam
cey's school opened to-day with
forty pupils. Erof. Yancey is too
well known TO require a cOmpli-
ment from my pen. Suffice it to
say, he is a success as teacher and
deservedly popular in this commu-
nifty. We are requested to an
nounce that the ladies Of Mt. Mo-
riah will give a supper at the resi-
dence of Mrs. a. A. Lindsay, on
Friday night next; proceeds to be
applied to the church. Apprecia-
ting the Jealous efforts of these eX-
cellent ladies, we bespeak for them
good attendance. Prof q. &.
Porterfield left last week to open
his school at Campbellsville. Mr..
Porteriield is a young man OF cul-
ture, a clever orator, and a good
teacher. We learn that Prof. Dorch,
of Maury, will open a singing
school at. Mt. Moriah on the first
of August, provided a sufficient In
ducement IN the way of funds is
offered. Through the Jealous ex-
crtlons of Misses Verena Wheeler,
Jennie Horne, Alice Reed and 9th
srs, the requisite amount is likely
to be raised.
Miss Tennie Strong, an accom-
plished young lady who has been
visiting at the residence of Mr.. Jas
Horne, returned to her home near
Aspen Hill last week. Prof, +,
j. Wood leaves to-day to engage in
teaching at Mt. Pleasant, MauTy
county. Misses Clara Bodenhamer
and Alice Higdon, two of Lynnvllle's
fairest representatives, are favoring
US with their presence. They are
great favorites with everybody.
Messrs. Maborn Hancock and j.
G. j. Carter, two of the best fellows
in Tennessee, represented Boden
ham at the Beech Bluff picnic near
Buford, last Saturday.
Our Sabbath school is in a -four
ishing condition. Mr.. @. L. Rus
sell, our efficient superintendent, is
an ardent and devoted worker in
the cause.
Our young friend, Mr.. Thos. F.
Horne, met with a painful accident
last week, getting his foot badly
crushed.
Although there are no matrimo-
NAL developments this week, we
anticipate a rich time registering
the happy events ere long.
