Origin Of"OId Hickory"

Gen. Jackson was known among the sol
diers who had served under him as "Old
Hickory" sobriquet given him during the
Creek war. His brigade was making a fore
ed march without baggage or tents, to sur
prise the Indians in one of their villages, and
were for several days and nights exposed to
the peltings of March storm, the rain freez-
ing as it fell. Gen. Jackson got severe
cold, but did not complain, as he tried to
sleep in a muddy bottom among his half-fro-
zen soldiers. Capt. Allen and his brother
John cut down stout hickory tree, peeled
off the bark and made covering for the
general, who was with difficulty persuaded to
crawl into it.
The next morning drunken citizen enter
ed the camp, and seeing the tent kicked it
over. AS Jackson crawled from the ruins
the topper cried: Hello, Old Hickory come
out of your bark and jine us in drink |"
Thenceforth the general was known in camp
as "Old Hickory" and when he was talked
of as a Presidential candidate the nickname
was adopted by his experimentation Bsdg.

Religion Imperishable.

Religion is reproached with not being pro-
gressive; it makes amends by being imper-
ishable. The enduring element in our hui
mainly is not in the doctrines which we con.
scousy elaborate, but the faiths, which un-
consciously dispose of us, and never slumber
to wake again. What treatise on sin, what
philosophy of retribution is as fresh as the
fifty-frst Psalm? What scientific theory
has lasted like the Lords prayer? 1t is an
evidence of movement that in a library no
books become sooner obsolete than books
of science 1t is no less a mark of stability
that poetry and religious literature survive,
and even ultimate PHILOSOPHERS seldom die
but to rise again. These, and with them the
the kindred services of devotion, are the ex-
preston of aspiration and faith which for
ever cry out for interpreters and guides
And in proportion as you carry your appeal
to those deepest seats of our nature you not
only reach the firmest ground, but touch ac-
cordant notes in every heart, so that the re-
spouse turns out harmony.

he was not hiring anybody to herd sheep.
"Have you all the shepherds you require ?"
asked Folsom Bowser.

AGAIN?

Oh, sweet and fair! oh, rich and rare
That day so Tonga
The autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow,
The ferns were clad in cloth of gold,
The waves sang on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing,
For over, evermore.
Oh, fit and few! oh, tried and true!
The friends that met that day;
Each one the others spirit knew
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore;
We said, "Such days shall come again
For ever, overmore."
One day again! No cloud of pain
A shadow DER us cast,
And yet we strove in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past;
Like, but unlike, the sun that ShOne,
The waves that beat the shore;
The words we said, the songs we sung,
Like-unlilSe, evermore:
For guests unseen crept in between,
And, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an undertone,
And married the harmony.
THE past Is ours, not yours" they said,
These waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same, are not the same,
Oh! never, ncvermorc"

Brick Church.

Rev. Mr.. Russell delivered two
excellent sermons last Sunday at
this church, from text from which
he commented and illustrated some
very mystical portions of scripture.
He is a very eloquent and pleasant
preacher and perhaps will do a
great and good work here if we are
so fortunate as 10 secure his ser
vices.
We have on the sick list, which
is very uncommon for this commu-
nifty, large number. Mrs. NJ. A.
Rothrock has been quite feeble for
several days. Mrs. Pattie and Miss
Matte Rothrock have been sick for
a week or two, but we are glad to
say are some better. Mrs. Fannie
Rutledge is recuperating from an
indisposition of several days. c.
W. Rutledge is threatened with
pneumonia. Mrs. Mace McMiliion
has been confined in bed several
days very i'll but with the skillful
treatment of DR.. Leonard We hope
she will recover. Mrs. M. A. Rut-
ledge has been very sick for a week.
Mrs. N. E. Hardy is dangerously Ill
we learn. Johnny Ham has been
in very bad health this winter, grad
ually growing worse.
George Golf and family and Ed
Hardy who has been running on
the Illinois Central, are contemplat-
ing going to Texas soon.
j. c. Burgess and J. c. Moore
are the boss log haulers now. They
are hauling some fine cherry logs to
Lewisburg. They are very energet-
&c men and never cease working the
coolest weather.
DR.. Leonard came very near
having a considerable misfortune
recently. He was called in at Thos.
Marsh's and did not leave his bug
gy horse very secure to the rack
and he got loose and ran home with
his buggy, but the road was good
and consequently no damage was
done. He certainly has him well
trained, as we we're an eye witness
and we do not think he ever left the
center of the road, though going at
full speed and never became fright
ened. Wheat looks very bad.

Justly Condemned.

10 THE CITIZEN -
l condemned the letter of your
Lebanon correspondent, several
months since, in which he censured
the language of your paper. l
thought it unjust and think so yet.
At that time, 1 had seen nothing
that the most retiring nature could
object to. Nor is there at present
anything to complain of in a gener-
al way. 1 wish to speak of enc in
stance only. 1 have always de-
Tended the CITIZEN as the wittiest,
sprightliest, most moral and the
most original in make up of any
county paper of its preten-
sions that have ever seen. am
fully aware that an editors duties
are manifold, hard and troublesome,
and many things slip in by over
sight, that he would have cast out
on a second thought. The only
break over / have seen in your
management is the appearance of
the last California letter. Zeal in
the cause of religion and good NOR
ais is so comuendable that the
man is doubly honored who pos
sesses that trait; but there is no
need of allowing ones zeal to lead
him into adding insult to injury by
condemning the loose ways of the
world ia terms that would shock
the most brazeu. We cannot well
doubt the California brothers
zeal and sincerity but he certainly
over-stepped the bounds of propri-
ETY. in his letter No. 4. Because
the (his) editor might have been

the language where refined wives
and daughters of thousands of fam
lilies could certainly see. His let

as the cause he advocates. Such
letters as No. are not calculated
TO win many converts. GILES.

An Ugly Wrack.

The passenger trains Monday
were detained by a wrecked freight
at Hurricane. At l a. M. thirteen
cara of north bound freight train
loaded with pig iron were derailed
by an unknown cause. A brakes
man who was on that portion of the
train which jumped the track was
thrown it is supposed over the tele-
graph wires and landed some dis
lance away on the ground. While
he was painfully hurt his injuries
are not thought to be very serious.
Beth the engine and the caboose
remained on the track and the rest
of the crew on them were unhurt.
The cars were very. badly smashed
and the damage is considerable.
A gentleman who saw the wreck re-
ports remarkable incident. He
says the track was swept of rails
and crossties for some distance as
clean as a street in Pulaski. The
morning passenger going north and
that coming south both had to
transfer their cargoes.

Died Suddenly,

Miss Paralee Carter died very
suddenly at the residence of her
brother Mr.. NJ. A. Carter on East
Hall, last Tuesday night at IL 80
o'clock, eyed As years. Though
slightly complaining she was well
enough TO be up at supper time and
attended to her usual household dn-
ties. She was out calling in the
afternoon. Only a few hours be
fore her death she was taken sud
denly i'll and was in dying condi-
tioa before a physician could be
s,7umoned to her bedside.
It IS thought that congestion OF

DIED-sunday morning, Jan'y 10th, at
II the residence of his father, DR.. b. p.
CLARK, 5 miles north on the Columbia pike,
WILLIAM BYRD CLARK, in the 22nd year Of
his age.
When an old man dies, one who is full
of years and honors, we feel, however Sc
we're the shock, that the blow could not
have been unexpected, and not having
been unexpected, could not have fallen
OH one unprepared, but rather on one
who stood ready to say, "BOrd,
now lettest Thou Thy servant depart
in peace"
But when one dies who stands on the
threshold of life, one who is Young,
whose gaze is fixed on the sunny
heights of prospective success, whose
lace is lighted with the joyous. buoyant
expectancy of youth, whose heart
throbs with hopes of the future-when
such an one dies-then, indeed, does
the intelligence of such Il death, which
10 short sighted humanity seems so I'M
timely, come with the force of pecu-
liar Sadness sadness intensified by
he fact that we may have known and
loved and understood the departed as
perhaps few others have.
The subject OF this short memoir,
WILLIAM BYRD CLARK, stood at that
most interesting period of young life,
Just where The boy is merged into the
man. He had taught one session of the
public school at OliVet church, and hay
ing been reading medicine some months
under his father, had attended one
course of lectures at the Vanderbilt.
So successful had been his management
of the school, and such was the salts
faction given its patrons that when he
again applied for the position, by letter
from Nashville. there was no hesitation
on the part of the directory, but he was
at once engaged.
He had gone to his school-house to
begin the labors OF the new session on
Monday, the 9Th, when he was taken
sick, and amer short, sharp struggle
with the death angel SHE golden bowl
was broken" The writer knew him
well -had long known him-since he
was the veriest child, and under cir
cumstances we'll calculated to give an
insight into The truth OF his character.
Manly, earnest, straightiOr ward as he
was, of unquestiOned courage, physical
and moral, cas- ful and conscientious in
che discharge of his duty, to our earthly
vision, there seemed every reason why
sshis days should be long in the land
which the Lord our God hath Civ
N u.s." But God knew best. CHE
.loeth all things well" and It is not for
as to ask that the cup OF suffering
might pass, but rather TO take hope and
strength and courage from the last
words that Byrd Clark ever uttered 81
am going straight TO Jesus"

Married on the Wing.

Pulaski was the scene of a ro-
mantle marriage last Saturday
night. Mr.. Robt. Searcy, who is
connected with "a newspaper
published at Hartsell, Ala, ana
Miss Lena Held of Cullman, a Ger
man town on the L. & N. railroad,
were married by Esq. Alexander OF
the St. Giles few minutes before
IL o'clock on the night mentioned.
The groom is a son of DR.. Searcy,
formerly of Huntsville and one OF
the finest physicians of North Ala
bama. He is related to Mrs. Milt.
Graham of this place. The bride
Is very young and for this reason,
possibly, her parents objected to the
match, but Notwithstanding their
stern opposition the lovers after
several futile efforts eluded their
vigilence, boarded the train at
Cullman and came here and were
married as stated.
