art illustrating Shakspeares seven Ages of
Man" We have spared no expense in these
cards-they are simply little art-gems. Our
only aim has been to publish the finest cards
vet shown. Applications for them have come
in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is
engaged before the receipt by us of the cards
from the artist. We have therefore been
obliged to adopt the following plan tor the
distribution of the remainder: No more of the
gilt Shakespeare cards, seven in the SERIES will
be sent excepting upon the receipt Of II state

for the cards has buoght of him on that day ut

and is an article of necessity in your house

PEN PICTURE OF A SOCIETY BELLE.

L
''Her dress was Of a highly-wrought
fabric of old pinchbeck gold, frosted
over with Paris-green can-spangles, and
brocaded with mahogany sawdust.
There was an exquisite overskirt,
shirred with hempen yarn of unique
pattern, and elegantly caught up with
a costly zinc-plate suspender-buckle.
A wreath of natural shoemaker's wax
hung in ravishing waves from the waist,
while loops of fmolasses-candy heightened
the caudal appendages of the basque
de-coat. The train was massive and
recollete. 1t was gorgeously resplen-
dent with row of richly-embroidered
shells-de-oyster, sprinkled with assorted
grains of costly coal-de-ashe. Sur
mounting all was rich Oriental man
tie of bag-de-cordage, which was PIN
ioned at the right shoulder Of the fair
wearer with a shingle-de-nail, on which
was leviathan carved dome, wrought
entirely Of rare pieces Of gum-de
spruce.
The fair wearer of all the magnifi-
cent apparel wore tin star buried in
perfect torrent of red-hot black coal
hair, while she glided through the
mazes of the dance like a gazelle with
its right arm in a sling. When she
brought her pretty little Cinderella slip
per down upon tile marble tiles Of the
festive hall, the rafters in the building
shook with silver laughter, while crock
cry in the cellar, like enchanted fairies,
leaped up and kissed the floor under
meath. When excited and full Of en-
thusiasm, this lovely Venus opened her
mouth, revealing two massive rows Of
pearl that reminded the enchanted be-
holder of trains of white-washed cars
gliding on wings Of love through Hoo
sac's magnificent tunnel. Her musical
laugh sent a thrill Of delight across the
mass of surging, worshipping human
ity, like the trickling Of cold milkpunch
down the back of a man who has just
filed his boots with chocolate ice cream.

just outside the limits of Youngstown,
Ohio, lives a well preserved man of sixty
named George Glazzard, who is now engaged
in the unromantic task of developing a small
coal mine, but who can look back to period
in his life when every day brought some new
and strange experience. He believes that he
is the only man now living in this country
who in 1868 and 1864 was a companion of
DIR. Livingstone in his African explorations.
He has still vivid sense of the great explor-
er's kindness and humanity, as well as the
perils through which he passed. He relates
experiences with lions and serpents which
are fully up to the prescribed African stand
ard. For instance, member of the compa-
ny on one occasion killed a snake which was
forty feet long and which at the moment of
dissolution was engaged in the pleasurable
occupation of digesting an OK which it had
swallowed whole. The most dreadful ex-
perience, however, which Mr.. Glazzard was
called upon to endure was when a party of
Kafir women, each wearing a gigantic smile
but nothing else, came out TO receive the ben
ediction Of the white man. He was perfectly
willing to oblige them until he found that
they wanted TO be kissed and would not take
no for an answer. But discretion warned
him not to refuse, and they received the COW
eted blessing.

That death is a boOn-a masked blessing
is a truth lately presented in a very striking
manner by poet who conceived and depict
ed the ghastly and wretched state in which
the world would be left should 'the king of
terrors" suddenly and forever cease his work.
That there should be no end to sorrow, to suf-
fering to deprivation and despair-no release
for helplessness and old age-no merciful end
to incurable disease-is a thought that makes
the sensitive and imaginative mind at least
reconcled to, if not, like poor Keats, "half
in love with, easeful death" But as fact
is stranger than fiction, so is truth often
more impressive than poetry. The telegraphic
reports have recorded within the week two
cases of suicide by persons who had lived to
be 100 years old. Could any words add to the
pathos or the suggestiveness of such facts !!
One would think that, having endured for a
century, these weary mortals might have
awaited with patience the end. But, perhaps,
poor souls, they came to think death had for
gotten them-and so did his work for him,
that they might test the other life where the
sound of the grinding is never low where
the grasshopper does not become a burden,
nor desire fail ; where the mourners go not
about the streets, and the silver cord is never
loosed nor the golden bowl broken. 1t must
be as wearisome, sometimes, to be forgotten
of DEATH" as it is heArt-fending to be too
early remembered by him. What "a muddle"
il all is, as the puzzled Mrs. Poyser declared
Aud what a poem there is in this ''taking
arms against sea of troubles" by two cen
tenarians. .-B0stOn Herald.

summer blending their hues together; they
saw the heather of the Scottish hills the
white cliffs of Briton, and heard the sull EN-
roar of the sea as it beat upon their memo
ries vaguely. Then came all the old Christ
mas carols, such as they had sung in the
church 30 years before the subtle music
that brings up the glimmer of wax taper, the
solemn shrines, the evergreen, holly, mistle-
toe and surpiced choirs. Then the remorse-
less performer planted his stab in every heart
with Home, Sweet Home" When the play
er ceased the crowd skunk away from him.
There was no more revelry left in his audi
ence. Each man wanted to sneak of to his
cabin and write the old folks letter The
day was breaking as the last man left the
place, and the player, laying his head down
ON the piano, fell asleep.
~ say, pard," said Goskin, don't you
want little rest 2"
II feel tired" the old man said. per
haps you'll let me rest here for the matter OF
a day or So"
He walked behind the bar, where some old
blankets were lying, and stretched himself
upon them.
II feel pretty sick. l guess l wont last
long. I've got brother down the ravine-
his names Driscol He don't know I'm here
Can you get him before morning? I'd like
to see his face once more before die"
Goskin started up at the mention of the
name. lie knew Driscoll well.
''He your brother? I'll have him here in
half an hour"
As he dashed out in the storm the mus-
clan pressed his hand TO his side and groaned
Goskin heard the word Hurry !" and sped
down the ravine to Driscolrs cabin.
1t was quite light in the room when the
two men returned Driscoll was as pale as
death.
MY God 1 hope he's alive l wronged
him when we lived in England, 20 years
ago"
They saw the old man had drawn the blank
cts over his face. The two stood moment,
awed by the thought that he might be dead
Goskin lifted the blanket and pulled it down
astonished. There was no one there!
Gone! :" cried Driscoll, wildly.
Gone :" echoed Goskin, pulling out his
cash h-drawer. Ten thousand dollars in the
sack, and the Lord knows how much loose
change in the drawer!"
The next day the boys got out, followed a
horses tracks through the snow, and lost
them in a trail leading toward Phoebe. There
was a man missing from the camp II was
the three-card monte man, who used to deny
point blank that lie could play the scale. One

Miscellany.



About generation ago, when the astronomers pr
dicted the appearance Of the comet which came wit
in the observation Of the people Of the earth In 1874
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delighted the world wi
the following humorous poem:
The comet he ia on his way,
And singing AZ he flies:
The whizzing planets shrink before
The spectre Of the skies.
All well may regal orbs turn blue
Aud satellites turn pale,
Ten million cubic miles OF head,
Ten billion leagues Of tall
on, on by whistliDg spheres Of light
He flashes and he flames;
He turns not to the left nor right,
He asks them not their names.
One spurn from his demoniac heel
Away, away they fly
Where darkness might be bottled up
And sold for "Tyrian dye"
And what would happen to the land,
And how would look the sea,
II in thu bearded DEVILS path
Our earth should chance to be?
Full hot and high the sea would boil,
Full red the forests gleam;
Methought heard and saw IL all
In dyspeptic dreaml
saw tutor take his tube
The comets course to spy:
heard q scream-the comets rays
Had stewed the tutors eve.
saw fort-the soldiers all
Were armed with goggles green:
Pop cracked the gunsl WhiE flew the balls
Bang went the magazinel
l saw a poet dip scroll
Each moment in tub;
read upon the warping back,
"The Dream Of Beezebub."
He could not see his verses burn
Because his brain was fried,
And ever and anon he bent
To wet them as they dried.
saw the scalding pitch roll down
The cracking, sweating pines,
And streams Of smoke, like waterspouts,
Burst through the rumbling mines;
l asked the fremen why they made
Such noise about the town;
They answered not, but all the while
The brakes went up and down.
saw a roasting pullet sit
Upon a baking egg;
saw q cripple scorch his hand
EItnguishing his leg;
saw nine geese upon the wing
Toward the frozen pole,
And every mothers gosling fell
Crisped to a cracking coal.
saw the OF that browsed the grass
Writhe in the blistering rays;
The herbage in his shrinking jaws
Was all fiery blaze.
saw huge fishes, boiled to rags,
Bob through the bubbling brine,
And thoughts Of supper crossed my soul;-
had been rath at mine.
Strange sights strange sounds! ofesrful dream
Its memory haunts me still
The steaming sea, the crimson glare
That wreathed each wooded hill;
Stranger! II through thy reeling brain
Such midnight visions sweep,
Spare, spare, o spare thine evening meal,
And sweet shall be thy sleep

Habit is hard to overcome. If you take
of the first letter, it does not change "a bit"
II you take of another letter, you still have
"bit" left If you take of still another, the
whole of ''it' remains. If you take of still
another, it is not st" totally used up. All of
which goes to show that, II you wish to be
rid of "hAbit," you must throw it of alto
gether, and all at once.

THE MORNING NEWS: SAVANNAH. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1884,

No new rice as yet received at the mills either

the continued good weather which we are now
having. and with the extra exertions which we
know our rice planters are capable of, that we
VIII soon nave some new crop to report and
that the end of the year may aud will be bright
er than the beginning.
NAVAL STORES.
At the close of our last annual statement
preparations were being made for q large in
crease or new business in this State but from
statistics published April Isb ii was oiScov
cred that there would probably be a falling OF
OF new boxes, amounting to 10 per cent.
sufficient, 1t was supposed to more than cover
this deficiency, thus insuring, under ordinary
circumstances, an Increase in the Georgia crop
of spirits turpentine and low grades Of rOsin.
The falling of, it was evident would be ia fine
resins, WnIcn can only be manufactured from
new or virgin boxes -
The spring was very late. and the continued
cold weather keeping back the sap, prevented
not only an early movement to market, but
shortened the tins for active work to su h an
extent that producers anticipated the loss of
one dipping IN the crop. During the sum
mer-the productive months severe drought
prevailed over the pine sections, not oniy Of
Georgia, but throughout the South and the
loss from this source, as nearly as could be es-
tlmated, amounted to one full dipping" more
These losses are based not on the crop Of last
year, but on the estimated crop Of the current
season, and have been undoubtedly modified
TO some extent by the stimulating effect of
high prices. That the estimated losses were
nearly correct, we think is substantiated by
the comparative statement, which we now pre-
sent. of the production for the years 1880 and
1881. which has been carefully compiled from
official reports.
