Peffiug the Tiger.

> [ remem Der reading of a mother
visiting a menagerie, with a lovely
infant in her arms. As they stood
by the tigers cage, tho animal, APP
pareptly quiet, permitted the Ca
rosses of the babe. The mother,
thinking it under the control of the
keeper and Gagged by iron bars, re-
Taxed her vigilance, when suddenly
the tiger seized the child, and in
one fatal moment it became it's
fatal prey.
| thought, as | read the para
graph, how many worse than tigers
cages we have all over this loved
land of ours. They form an almost
unbroken network from ocean to
ocean. 1t is a palace like building
here, less pretentious one there,
and a shanty down by the railroad.
Each holds alike the same enemy
the sparkling wine cup.
Do you see those two friends sha-
king hands on the steps OF yonder
grand botel? They have not met
since boyhood's days, and now mid
die age claims them.
eCome in. Fred. With social
glass between us, We'll talk over
bv cones. Waiter, some of your
best champagne. No shaking OF
your head Fred
The champagne is brought, and
the friends arc quickly reviewing
the past.
"Have your glass filed again
Fred; tits really worth your while
to take a draught from these glass
es. The design is triumph of art.
We have lived thus long without
apy harm from the cheerful glass.
We have wills strong as iron bars,
and they can guard with master-
like vigilance our failings-if we
have any"
A third time the glasses were
filed. and Here's double health
to thee was sung with the vim OF
college days.
Then they parted. But mark the
sequel. The appetite, which they
boasted was Gagged with strong wills,
had that not been caressed. The
desire became tiger, and ere long
one of the jolly friends filled a
runkard's grave and the other, a
wreck, dwelt in maniac's cell,

the prices can be put up to the
highest figure which it is possible
for the farmers TO stand. In this
fight Mr.. Eads expects to have the
support and sympathy of the whole
Granger element of the country.
The Nicaragua scheme seems to
be wholly out of the fight since
General Grant advised Admiral
Ammen that he does not think it is
wise 10 press it until the ship rail-
way project has been decided. If
this is successful, he says, tibet the
Nicaragua canal will be unneces-
sary. The letters which Mr.. Eads
has brought back from England
with him and laid before the com
mittee, Endorsing the practicability
of the ship railway, are of such
character as to do much to remove
the doubts on that point entertained
by some who have hitherto opposed
the project becuse they regarded it
as impracticable.

The Clement Attachment.

The following extract is from a
letter by the Atlanta correspondent
of the Boston Commercial Bulletin
written during the Cotton Exposi-
ton:
This wonderful machine is not In
the group of the ginning machinery,
but in the East wing of the main
building opposite the Bridesburg
Company's display of machinery.
One cleaner is used to prepare the
cotton for the gin which is placed
in the feeder, and then it starts on
it's wonderful journey through
gin to card, the gin and card form
ing one machine; which produces a
perfect silver at the rate of 200
pounds per day.
This may appear an uninteres-
ting statement, bat when it is
known that this single machine su
mercedes the first seven processes
through which cotton passes by
the old method, namely, the gin
press, compress, opener, lapper,
double lapper and breaker cards;
and causes the eighth machine, or
the first by tho new process, to do
five times as much work and that
claimed to be of superior quality,
some interest begins to appear.
The vicissitudes of this remarka-
BILE machine, the prejudices against
it, and the groundlessness OF them,
cannot be entered into an article of
this scope; it is enough now to say
that it is on exhibition here, and
in actual operation, where its con-
struction, manipulation and pro-
duct. can all be Inspected, and any
information gladly furnished by
Mr.. F. E. Whitefeld, Sr., or by
his assistant, B. B. Smith, Esq.

pray!
But alas! we are still where it found us.
The sound of the gospel is passing away,
That rose on the wings of the morning,
When the dear dying sire called bis off
spring to pray,
And bequeathed them his last holy
warning.
The sound of the gospel is passing away;
IT rolls over island and ocean;
The Caftre and Hindoo are learning to pray
And bow IN their souls deep devotion.
The sound of the gospel is passing away;
1t flies on the four winds of heaven;
Creation now dawns with milennia1 day,
And the worlds final warning is given.
The sound of the gospel is passing away;
The offers of mercy are closing;
Ten thousand are gone who've refused to
obey,
And are now under tombstones reposing
The sound Of the gospel is passing away;
Soon, soon shall the great work be over,
And the grave hold its dead till the last
burning day
Shall the dooms of creation discover.
The sound of the gospel is passing away;
O, God, ring its last notes in thundcr
Let peal after peal rouse the sinner to-day,
To fly from the wrath he il under.
The sound of the gospel is passing away.
And bearing the saints TO their glory.
Hail, mighty Redeemer! o, when shall
Thy sway
Bring the millions on earth to adore
Thee1
The sound of the gospel is passing away;
The skies with the God head are bending.
0 shout. We redeemed, for the darkness is
day,
And the glorifed hosts are ascendingl
