ciates. The way you go they will go.
II we are not saved, we will never save
any one else.
Why will you keep us all 80 nervous
talking about that which Is only a
dormitory and pillowed slumber,
canopied by angels wings? Sleep!
Transporting sleep! And what a glo-
rious awakening! You and j have
sometimes been thoroughly bewildered
after long and fatiguing journey; we
have stopped at a friends house for the
night, and after hours of complete un-
consciousness we have opened our eyes,
the high-risen sun full in our faces,
and before we could fully collect our
faculties, have said: Where am 1;
whose house is this, and whose are
these gardens?" And, then. it has
flashed upon us in glad reality.
And l should not wonder II. after we
have served our generation, and by the
will Of God have fallen on sleep, the
deep sleep the restful sleep, we should
awaken in blissfuI bewilderment, and
for little while say: where am /?
What palace is this? Why. this looks
like heaven! 1t is; ii Is. Why there
is building grander than all the cas-
| ties of earth heaved into mountain OF
| splendor-that must be the palace OF
Jesus. And look there, at those walks
| lined with foliage more beautiful than
anything l ever saw before. and see
those who are walking down those
aisles of verdure. From what have
| heard OF them, those two arm and arm
must be Moses and Joshua, him OF
Mount Sinai and him of the hating sun
over Gideon. And those two walking
arm in arm must be John and Paul.

Grateful Wrens.

An Illinois gentleman sends to the
Montreal Herald pretty bird story:
Close to my window, as l write this, l
drove some nails in a sheltered cor
ner; a pair of wrens built their nest
there. The old birds often come into
my Office and sing. One of them has
repeatedly alighted on my desk as
have been writing, saying plainly by
his actions, You won't hurt me. We
are friends" A few years since, in a
knot-hole in a dead tree, near a path
from my Office to my house, lived a
family of wrens, with whom | had
formed a very intimate acquaintance.
One day, while | was passing in a hur-
ry, / heard the two old birds uttering
cries Of fear and anger, and as l got
past the tree one OF them followed me,
and by its peculiar motions and cries
induced me to turn back. examined
the nest and found the young birds all
right, looked into the trees branches,
but saw no enemies there, and started
away. Both birds then followed me
with renewed cries, and when | was a
few yards away they flew in front of
me, futtcred moment. and then dart
ed back to the tree. Then one Of them
came back to me, fiuttering and cryisg,
then darted from me near to the
ground under the tree. l looked. and
there lay rattlesnake coiled ready to
strike. secured stick and killed
him, the wrens looking on from the
tree; and the moment l did so, they
changed their song to lively, happy
one, seeming to say, Thank youp' in
every note.

There is a wonderful howl all
over the state against the Jarvis
law and its manifest hardships on
officers and citizens in many in
stances, and the next Legislature
will be asked to remedy its many
defects.
A number of uniforms and guns
belonging to the state military
equipment have been discovered
in the Nashville pawn shops-the
result Of not requiring bond for
the proper care and keeping of
these articles.
William Bearden and James
Wilson, while doing some repair
ing on the Nashville warehouse
elevator, had most miraculous
escape from instant death. They
were standing on q 12-foot beam,
three or four feet of which were
projecting out of a window, when
the beam tilted and they were
hurled to the ground, q distance
of 20 feet. Wilson's injuries will
prove fatal; Bearden had a leg
broken and will recover.
The Alamo Signal is respon'
sible for this: Some excitement
was created in the neighborhood
of Gadsden last Thursday when il
was reported that a COW had giver
birth to a calf with a human head
and hand. The hand was where
the right fore foot should have
been, and the ears were unnat
urally far back on the head; other
wise the head was human in every
detail. A large crowd viewed thu
curiosity, which was born at Esq
John Williams place, one mile
west of Gadsden. 1t was bOrl
dead.

UNCLE SAM AND SPAIN.

N NA4H Oh-h hND DL AIN.
There is little or nothing to be
learned just now concerning the
Spanish situation. However, it
begins to look less warlike, not.
outstanding the continued activ-
ity in naval circles. Dispatches
and newspaper extracts from
Madrid are of decidedly more
conciliatory tenor, the determined
stand taken by our government
having impressed Spain with the
fact that we will tolerate no fool
ishness, and that the rights Of cur
citizens will be protected, though
the Spanish navy should have to
be sent to the bottom of the At
lantic ocean to do it.
War is a terrible thing and
should hostilities be declared 1t
would be more terrible than any
in the history of the world, on
account Of the vast improvement
in the navies and guns. Already
many nations with no interest in
the issue are fitting out fleets fol
the sole and specific purpose Of
observing engagements between
these improved war machines.
Wednesdays papers give the
information that the report OF the
board of inquiry will reach Wash
ington Thursday or Friday ant
will not be given to the public be
fore Monday the 2Sth. 1t is gen
orally understood that the finding
is to the effect that an externa
explosion was the cause OF tn'
Maine disaster, but no positive
evidence was discovered to impli
cate the Spanish government no
Spanish officials.
A conference between speake
Reed and the President brings GU
the intelligence that the whole o
the Spanish situation is to be pu
before congress officially, togethe
with a demand for some action IL
the matter.
If this should be done then con
gress is just that certain to tax
steps toward Intervention in CUBA
and unless Spain humiliates hel
self more than her pride il won
to do, then things may change t
q more warlike aspect.
