LINES TO MISS WILLIE VAL.
LIANT,
GAINESVILLE, Tenn.

LINES TO MISS WILLIE VAL
LIANT,
tClarksyille, Tenn.
THE following lines to one of GAINESVILLE
most talented young ladies is taken from
the Waverly Journal
Gently round me twilight steals
Softly fall fair Luna'S rays,
While memory chants so merrily
OF times with thee-Ah happy days.
We parted just when summers face
Wore its softest sweetest smile;
When her bright new robe of delicate
flowers,
She donned with such grace, as us to be-
guile.
Yes. then we parted, and though my heart,
Was buOyant with hope, and light and free,
1t pinned to fly back DER the murmuring
waves
To see if, in absence, thop'd'st think of me.
Nov autumn plays her mellow tune
Upon her harp of withered leaves,
But still as bright as those days in June,
Are the Thoughts of thee, which memory
WeaveS.
And though gray winters blighting breath
Will soon be whistling in my ears
1t can meier chill my heart-but defiant I'll
sing,
o, time strengthens love, and misfortune
endears.
In the years to come, when other hands
Shall make your heart strings melody,
l hope that one soft echoing chord
viii whisper to thee again of Elsie.

The plaistering is now nearly COM

of the structure is taken by Mr.. r.

on under the supervision of Mr..

A special dated at a. m. says the scenes
at the burning of the south wing of the hos
pital were heartrending in the extreme. So
appalling a sight has rarely been witnessed,
and l trust may never be again. The pa
tients in the annex wing were males. Many
OF them refused to leave the building at all !;
they ran gE and down the halls, screaming
and crying and acting like Bedlamites.
They were, of course, those who could got
DE cOaXed nor forced out of the building,
and became the unhappy victims of tins
flames, and Sufocated in the pile of fire.
Others were saved, some by ladders and
others by leaping from windows some were
nearly nude, some shoeleSS and hatless, and
ell were exposed to the exceeding cold of
tbs night. Many of the poor, demented in
mates fed. QS if for their lives, and could
not be overtaken or confined. Their suffer-
ings in this frightfuI eona!t6n Gan better be
imagined than described. The whole cGtas
trephe is fearful to contemplate and impos,
sible TO describe. The poor daZed inmates
of the asylum, who had escaped the flames
aud were at large half-clOthed, were to be
seen in all directions flying in wild fright
from those who attempted to save them.
The air was bitter cold, and the poor
Wretehes, with half-naked bodies and bleed
ing feet, were running about hiding IN
alleys and dark corners it was sight, once
seen, never TO be forgotten,

Terrible COnfIagratiOn-Th Lima
tic Asylum Burnt Down at
St. Paul, Minnesota.

Seldom does it fall to our lot 10
record a calamity so shocking in its
attendant circumstances as that
which occurred at st. Paul, Mime
sofa. On Monday night, the 10Th
inst, the south wing of the insane
asylum was found to be on fire.
That wing was occupied by the
male patients, who of course had to
be set free. Some of them refused
to leave their cells, and those who
could not be forced or persuaded to
do so were either burned to death
or suffOcated with smoke. Others
were probably frozen to death, hav-
ing fed in all directions through
the snow. The number of lives lost
is estimated at twelve or fifteen, but
cannot be certainly known, as many
are missing Who cannot yet be ac-
counted for. Many more than that
number are badly injured. The
following description is from the
Pioneer Press:

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-01-22

GEN. GARFIELD was a Baptist preacher
Not exactly. Gen. Garfield was
preacher Of the denomination calling
themselves Christians, and often called
Campbellites. And this reference to
the early days of the new U. S. Sena-
tor, reminds us of little incident.
We had read law in the years 1647
8 and 8, with the late Col. T. r.
Stanley, and were very intimate with
him. About the close Of the year
1860, we had law Office in the rear
room now occupied by the First Ma
tional Bank, and we had been editing
THE STANDARD most Of the time for
three or four years, but we did not
own any interest in it. Col. Stanley
resided at Macarthur One day our old
preceptor, Col. Stanley, called at our
office; and made particular inquiry
about THE STANDARD, and how the
establishment was paying. We could
not give very favorable report. II
had been managed by incompetent
persons, and really did little more
than pay expenses. 1t was kind Of
charitable institution, saddled upon
the Republican party, and the citizens
Of Jackson county.
Col Stanley, (then only 7. r. Stan
ley ESQ., said that he and another
man wanted to buy country paper
His partner was to be the editor. He
was a young man of decided ability
man of good character, and q
preacher of the Campbellite Church
| STANLEY was a Methodist class leader
He said his partners name was James
A. Garfield, and he resided in the
north part of the State.
Our discouraging report Of the fl
nancial condition of THE STANDARD
is the reason, no doubt why James A
Garfield is not now the editor Of THF
STANDARD instead Of the present edi-
tors, and why somebody else (perhaps
ourself) is not in his place in Congress

AbOut SWindIers.

Last week we had something to say
about R. E. Sellers & Co., of Pitts
burgh. We wrote to them, and sent
our bill, in December, and they paid
no attention to it. After waiting
some ten days, we vote again, but re-
ceived no answer After waiting
about week after writing the second
time, we received letter from Nelson
Chesman & Co., advertising agents at
St. Louis, Missouri. In the summer
of 1878 we made contract with this
firm to give them certain amount OF
space in The STANDARD, for certain
price. They sent lot tof advertise
ments, and among them one Of r. e.
Sellers & Co. About the first Of De
cember, 1878, they ordered the adver-
tisement Of Sellers & Co. to be taken
out, and said they would at future
time send another advertisement to
take its.place. They did not state at
that time why they ordered the Sellers
advertisement out.
Last week we received an advertise
ment from the St. Louis agents, and
they said it was to take the place Of
the Sellers advertisement, which was
ordered out because they failed to pay
for it, Dec. 1, 1878.
We sent Sellers & Co. The STAND
ARD with the article about them mark
ed. 1t was sent on Wednesday, anc
on Friday we received long lettel
from them, in which they say we hav'
done them great injustice, and mucl
injury, and ask that we do them jus
tice. They sent a check. for tn
amount they owed us. These are tn
facts. We hope they are honest men
but we mustassay that business mel
should be little more prompt. |
Sellers & Co. were pushed with busi
ness, why did they not send us posta
card, saying that account was received
and would be attended to in due time
That would have been entirely salts

The Sabbath Day,

One of the strongest evidences of
the authenticity Of the Bible, is the
fact that all its precepts, if strictly
obeyed, tend to make men better and
happier. This is true as to its moral
precepts, and also as to it's precepts
which may, without investigation, ap-
pear arbitrary.
The setting apart of one day in sew
en-, as a day of rest from all work,
might appear unreasonable, as God
could not have been tired with his six
days work, whether they were natural
days, or six periods called days, per-
haps embracing in each period hun
dred million years. But this devoting
Of one-seventh Of the time to absolute
rest, was considered of so much i'm
portance as to find place in the ten
commandments, and we are as posi-
lively forbidden to do any work on the
seventh day, as we are forbidden to
lie, steal, murder, or commit adultery.
The Sabbath was made for man,
and not man for the Sabbath, and
man should rest, not only his body,
but his mind. 1t has been settled be-
yond dispute, that if two men of
equal bodily and mental capacity
should start out at twenty years of
age, and work, either with the hands
or with the brain, until they were six
ty years Of age, one working every
day for forty years, and the other
working six days and resting on
the seventh, that the man who
rested every seventh day would have
accomplished very much more in the
forty years than he who worked all
the days of those years.
We have said that the Sabbath
should be day Of rest, and not day
Of slavery. The Bible commands us
10 rest, and mans nature demands this
rest. The Sabbath has, by mistaken
Interpretation Eof duty, by religious
zealots, often been converted into a
day Of slavish mental, if not bodily
toll. Let us illustrate by describing
the mode of rest in many-in most
parts of our country.
The church bell rings at six o'clock
in the morning, and the people must
attend prayer meeting before break
fast. A hasty breakfast brings ON the
time for aSabbath School, at nine
o'clock. Immediately after Sabbath
School comes preaching, which will
last, with the accompanying services,
until twelve. Then there is class
meeting until one. Dinner will last
until time for the two o'clock class
meeting, and then preaching again at
night. Where is the time that rest
comes in?
In the State of Ohio there has been
a law on the Statute books for perhaps
fifty years or more, making it fna-
BILE offense to hunt, shoot, fish, per-
form common labor, etc, on the Sab
bath, except in cases of necessity.
This law was enacted, perhaps, for
three reasons; because mans natural
wants require day of rest; because
the religious sentiment Of the people
