THE VOICE OF MUSIC.

Whence is the might of thy master spell:
Speak to me voice of sweet sound and tell
Music is heaven born, for at the Gre
alton the holy book tells us, The
morning stars sang together and the
sons OF God shouted for JOY"
Again, we are told that on the birth
of our Saviour, the Prince of Peace. a
choir of angels direct from heaven
heralded the infant Jesus and the an
them they sang on that memorable
occasion has been handed down to us
and has been singing through the
long ages till our own tine, "Glory to
God in the highest, Peace on earth
good will to men,"
The sweet singer of Israel said,
"Praise the Lord with psa'tery and
harp; Sing aloud unto God our
strength; Make joyful noise unto
the Gcd of Israel"
Praise in our day as in the time of
| avid is the life of worship; it is as
sweet incense waiting our prayers,
yes our very souls up to the throne of
God. Sacred music gives an inspira-
ton to both minister, and congrega-
ton. Its mysterious. influences we
cannot. understand nor the spirits
yearnings which it creates, for the
purer, better life above, but: !:
something of mystery there surely dwells
Waiting its touch in our bosoms cells,
Something that finds not it's answer here,
A chain to be clasped in another sphere"
Music seems to be an essential ev-
erywhere and on all occasions. Music
in heaven, music on earth, at the
shrine, the altar and the feast. Mar.
tial music for the battle, mournful
dirges for the slain; but we must sing

LOCATION HUNTING.

AS we searched for a pretty and
prosperous spot on the Minneapolis
and St. Louis line from Minneapolis
when we had travelled about a hun
dred miles west of that city we ar
rived at a point where it took but a
few moments for us to decide that we
must search the contents of the pleas
ant spot. On leaving the cars a glance
was given at the waiting-room of the
depot and cleanliness was the word
which crept into our thoughts. Fac
ing in the opposite direction the word
"Hotel" met our eyes. Without the
least effort we found ourselves stray
ing in that direction. Entering the
waiting-room, pleasant old lady met
us with smile and made us feel at
home. A warm dinner soon greeted
us, and it also settled the question
that here should be our boarding
place for the remaining year.
After dinner we took a stroll
through the place. The railroad ran
all along the southern side of the vii
lage. Across the track toward the
south rose beautiful wall Of earth to
the hight Of some sixty feet; and
nearly at the foot of the wall, on the
main street, was located the hotel we
had just left. Crossing the track, on
the right hand side was situated the
depot, q structure OF, repose; on the
left hand side, towering above all the
rest of the edifces, stood the. Pacific
elevator. .Passingon short distance,
and turning the first corner at the
right, the sign Nelson, Tenney & Co."
was seen above the Office OF q large
lumber yard. To the left stood a
grocery store. which was the shape Of
a rhomboid. Suddenly we all stood
still, as we heard the sound Of the an,
vii, and soon a man was seen hurrying
to and fro in front of the shop door.
Looking to the right, there stood q
man examining several horses, which
appeared as though they we're nearly
ready for the grave. Directly oppo-
site to where the man was standing,
stood neat little drug store. Who
could have wished for things more
convenient
Looking forward, the eyes strayed
down long level street with neat lit
tie dwellings on either side: Strange
to say, but it was true, the next to the
last house on this street was q cheese

THANKSGIVING.

AS the Thanksgiving time draws
near, we are taken back to our: child
hood days. We are once more children
free from care, knowing nothing OF
the stern realities of life. =
The old farm house comes before
our view, with. it the garden, beautiful
and fragrant, with its old fashioned
flowers,the grand old oaks that we have
climbed so many times to get q peep
into the orioles nest, .whose silken
home swung year after year from one
of the branches of the many trees.
Then there was the big barn, with
its wonderful hay lofts, and many
hooks and corners for hens nests: On
the hillside that sloped' back from
the house, was the orchard with its
delicious fruit. Never since have we
tasted such apples, pears and plums.
November finds all the fruits of
summer gathered and stored in barrels
and bins. to -
Then those long winter evenings
around the fire place cracking nuts,
roasting apples and popping corn,
listening to the thrilling war tales
told by the uncle Of the household, or
the milder stories Of frolics:. en-
joyed during the school days of father
and mother.
But, oh! what wonderful day
Thanksgiving Day was, when we were
all assembled, uncle, aunt, cousins
and friends, at some house in the
neighborhood for general good time
One of the pleasant features of the
day was the dinner it makes us hun
cry to think of it. The table loaded
as it was, with all the tempting viands
known in those dear old days. In the
afternoon the horses we're hitched tc
the sleigh and we younger members
crowded into it for a sleigh ride.
Over the steep hills, through the
dug way with its high banks on either
side. Such shouting! such laughing
such fun! Then when the evening
shades drew nigh back we went fo1
the evening sports, after which, the
good nights we're said and we depart
ed for our several homes. ,s..
Many years have come aud gone
since those days. Many of the friends
that we have loved and cherished
have gone into those realms, where
pain and parting are unknown
Others have made their homes fal
from the place of their birth. Time
has changed US all; but the memories
of those happy days remain un
changed. Happy, happy days O
childhood.
I'VE are stronger and are better,
Under manhood's stern reign:
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
| And we sigh for it in vain; "
We behold it everywhere,
| On the earth, and in the air,
! But it never comes again.

from Chronic and Periodic

that can be traced directly

Constant straining and

GBOb and Alf."

1t is known to most readers of daily
newspapers that the Taylor brothers,
"Alf" and bob" as they are familiarly
known throughout the country are
soon to engage in most unique pub
lie entertainment. They will be in
Knoxville the frs: week in October
and are booked at large number OF
places in nearly all the States 20 Gll
engagements during this autumn and
the coming winter AMI spring. The
eptertainment will be more in the ma
tUre of play in two acts than a for
NAL lecture, aud yet its chief feature
will be the incompatible humor, pathos
and rhetoric of the one, and the well
known eloquence of the other. 1t will
also embrace orchestral and vocal mu
sic. II such a thing has ever before
been attempted we do not remember
to have heard OF it.
The novelty OF the entertainment
will not be its only attraction, The
relation OF the two brothers TO each
other and to the public gives them all
the advertisement necessary to begin
with. They were opposing candidates
for governor in Tennessee few years
ago, one on the Republican and the
other on the Democrats ticket, and
canvsssed the State together, dispu

The Language Of Flags.

The black flag is the sign of piracy.
To "strike the flag" is to lower the
national colors in token OF submission.
Dipping the flag is lowering it slight
ly and then hoisting it again to salute
a vessel or fort.
The yellow flag shows vessel to be
at quarantine, or is the sign OF conta-
gious disease.
A flag at half-mast meansmourning.
Fishing and other vessels return with
a flag at half-mast to announce the
loss or death of some of the men.
If the president of the United States
goes afioat the American flag is car
ried in the bows of his barge, or hoist
ed at the main of the vessel on board
of which he is.
Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and command, the officers using them
being called flag officers. Such flags
are square to distinguish them from
other banners.
The red flag is a sign of defiance,
and is often used by revolutionist.. In
our service it is mark OF danger and
shows a vessel to be receiving or dis.
charging her powder.
A "fag OF truce" is a white flag
displayed to an enemy to indicate a
desire for a parley or consultation.
The white flag is the sign of peace.
After battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead, under the
protection OF white flag.

Dick Sanders Not In Jail.

The report that Richard P. Sanders
had been confined in the Greenevile
Jail is without foundation, we are
pleased to announce. The colonel
WAS in the city last Thursday circulat=
ing among the "rebels" and his old

and bad whiskey as possible for man
OF his dimensions to be, and denied
the allegation and defed the alligator.
The rumor that he was in jail reached
Morristown and called forth the fol-
lowing from the Republican:
Alas! poor Dick-we feel sorry for
him, and would like to be able to give
him bettsr personal notice. Dick is
well.known in Morristown, as he held

PRINTERS INK HINTS.

Legitimate advertising is merely
business news.
The better thingtis the better it
pays to advertise it.
The temple of success is reared on
newspaper columns.
Big words look better in the die.
tionary than they do in advertisements.
A clothing ad that talks about every.
thing but clothing never sells clothes.
What does it profit an advertiser if
he gain one sale and lose a steady GUS
toner?
Advertising is insurance of business
but you must take care and not let
the policy lapse.
Some advertisements,lik some pills,
are sugar-coated, only to conceal the
bad things they cover.
The best place to put an advertise
ment is in the paper that enjoys the
confidence of the community.
Advertising can endless variety" is
not effective advertising. Better ad-
vertise one thing and sell it.
