Where the sun-b'aze never scorches;
Where the star beams cease to chill

Where the morn shall wake in gladness,
And the noon the JOY prolongi
Where the daylight dies in fragrance,
Mid the burst of holy song;
Brother, we shall meet and rest,
Mid the holy and the blestl
Where no shadow shall bewilder,
Where lifes vain parade is DER;
Where the sleep of sin Is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more;
Where no bond is ever sundered;
Partfngs claspings sob and moan.
Mid hight ting, twilight weeping, A
Heavy noontide-asl are done;
Where the child has found its mother,
Where the mother fluds the child;
Where dear families are gathered
That were scattered on the wild;
Brother, we shall meet and rest,
Mid the holy and the blest.
Where Che hidden wound is healed,
Where the blghted life re-blooms;
Where the smitien heart the freshness
Ofits buoyant youth resumes;
Where the love that here we lavish
: On the whitening leaves OF time,
Shall have fadeless flowers TO fix on,
In an ever spring-bright cline;
Where we FIND the joy OF loving
As we never loved before,
Loving on. unchillcd, unhindered.
Loving once, and evermore;
Brother, We shall meet and rest,
Mid the holy and the blestl
Where blasted world shall brighten
y Bnderneath a bluer sphere,
And a softer. gehtlef sunshine
Shed Its healing spfendor here;
Where earth's barren wales shall blossom.
Putting on their robe OF green,
And purer. fairer Eden
Be whore only wastes hp tAocea 4
Where King in kingiy glory,
Such as Garth hath never known,
Shall assume the righteous sceptre,
Claim and wear the holy crown:

OF New South Wakes The leaves of this
shrub contain tod0h substance gifted with
all the properties and attributes of the finest

A Fight for His Child.

Intelligence has reached Atlanta of n
terrible tragedy which took place near Talla
dega. Ala. A picnic excursion went out to
the falls on the river. Among the number
was DIR. William Toole, who was was accom-
panied by his daughter, little child of seven
years. The mother of the little girl hal
dressed her up very nicely, putting on
gold ornaments and diamond pin During
the early part of the afternoon the child was
missing and the father went in search of her
As he approached the falls he saw negro
man carrying something with fying garments.
and. rushing on him. he saw that it was the
dead body of his child. The negro had mur-
dered her, stripped her of her jewelry, and
was about to throw her body over the falls.
The frantic father rushed on the savage
fiend. grappled with him. and furious fight
ensuej o"er the body Of the child. The
fathers cries for help were responded to by
some Of the picnic party. The negro was
overpowered. and, rope being improvised,
he was hung to tree. 1t was found
that the child had been choked to death.
The negro had probably decoyed her
away from her playmates, and stifilng
her cries, carried her of for murder
and robbery. In another moment the raging
waters would have swallowed up the dreadful
secret of his crime and when the body OF
the little girl was found it would have been
supposed a case of accidental drowning. The
monster of murderer was left hanging to
tree, and the picnic party was transformed
into a funeral cortege, which conveyed the
body of the little innocent to her stricken
home. No event has ever occurred Of such
dreadful and narrowing nature in that section
of the country atlanta Constitution.

"TranCcVOyauce."

Some interesting scientific experiments
demonstrating the truth of the disputed phe.
nomena of clairvoyance have recently been
made by DIR. q. NJ Beard of New York. The
sensitive was a iadv. the wife of lecturer
on mesmerism. \ first experiment failed
but on second trial the lady. whose eyes
were covered with cotton and closely ban
dagcd. was able 10 name accurately cards
drawn at random from "a pack and held by
the Doctor upon her forehead. She also
read the ttle-page of volume which the
Doctor took from his pocket Other expert
ments with coars print were equally success
ful. but she was unable to read fine print.
DIR. Beard calls the faculty trancevoyance.
and thinks that it may be developed to such
degree that the person gifted with it can
read entire pages of ordinary print held
against the forehead. The lady, describing
her sensations " hen in the transvoyance state,
saws that an electric light seemed To be thrown
forward from the back of the brain upon the
object held upon her forehead. Illuminating
il and enabling her to see it distinctly. A
further study of this curious power of reading
without eyes will no doubt be of great value
to the development of the still rudimentary
science of brain and nerve action. Snch ex-
periments as those Of DR.. Beard are heavy
blows at the theories of the materialists who
claim that all mental action is the physical
phenomenon depending on the organs Of sen
sation. What power is it, will they tell us,
that reads coarse print when the eyes are
practically blinded? There must be faculty
of perception in the brain quite independent
of the organs of sight. which under certain
rare conditions comes into play. What is it
that sees withou, the aid of optic nerve or
retina? Here is question which opens
wide and interesting field for speculation. -

A KENTrCKY PHILOSOPHER DESCRIBES TIT
LIFE OF THE JEwEL-CRowSED KETTLES.


Toads have come in great numbers, the
summer heat having brought hosts of insects
upon which they feed. At dusk toady il
abroad, collecting his supper, and fine ban
banquet he enjoys. Sometimes he sees n
moth lingering on brick wall. contemplat-
ing the morrow. when it shall deposit on the
lindens all the eggs it has brought to this
market, and thinking how prosperous every
thing will look when two millions caterpillars
occupy every spray of the shade trees.
Toady is at the wall in an instant, and, with
a clumsy leap and a lightning thrust Of his
tongue. he takes in mothy and the whole
caterpillar colony at once. No linden leaves
for that family. IL was the sparrow's bust
ness to eat this moth, but, of course, that
little humbug is nowhere to be seen, for he
is on his roost. The moth has been flying
about under his nose all day, but he was too
much occupied with his own noise to give
any attention to anything else. After toady
has swallowed the moth ne goes and sits on
the brick walk, and you can see his tongue
darting out every instant, but cannot see
what he is getting g-perhaps pismires. for he
frequently goes TO the ant when he is hungry.
Another day, however, brings sorrow to
toady. As he is half burrowing in a cool
place in the grass, the lawn mower comes
along and the cruel knives disembowel him
with stroke as lightning-like as that which
brings him his own food.
