Twilling Thoughts.

Most miseries lay in apprehen-
sion.
Every dark lantern has a bright,
side.
Darkest nights bring out the
brightest stars.
Time is the court in which our
lives are tried; and from that
judgement there is no appeal.
True politeness is the unmis-
taxable sign Of a gentleman, and
shows the true spirit ofgallantry
and chivalry.
A pure woman's influence is
mans surest protection, and her
loving ministry is the safest har-
bar in which to find shelter from
those pillows Of temptation that
sweep over the ocean OF sin
Life is spanned by a rainbow,
made up with the sombre clouds
OF sorrows and breavements and
Affections, and beautifully tinted
with the gorgeous hues OF t h e
blissful hope Of celestial happi-
ness.
Love is the guardian angel OF
the home circle, and when it is
presiding there in all OF it's power
land witchery there is a heaven up
on earth with all OF it's beauties
and it's glories, is birds and its
melodies, it's flowers and i ts
odors, its Joys and it's rapures,
for every landscape is a picture
OF beauty, every object poem ol
enchantment and every sound 9
ripple Of song.
Let us give flowers to the live
ling ond not to the dead. They
need them while enduring thu
heat Of the parching day, ant
bearing the heavy burden ofcare'
} and trials aud troubles, but the,
donot need them when the hear
is cold and pulseless and the eye
are closed in the slumber O
, death. God takes care OF Hi
> dead, and their senses are thrill
e ed with the harmonies OF fmmor
: tai rapture, and their visions ar
9 feasting upon the glories Of celes
! tial splendors. They do not nee'
! our flowers then, or other mani
festations OF regard and esteem
!" so let us give them to the living
land let them feel that tende
touch OF loving sympathy whic
{ proclaims the kinship OF human
: ty and the brotherhood of man

Some Amazing Things in History.
Charlotte Fews.)

Some days ago the News spoke
OF the picture OF the man whose
face adorns the newly-issued ten
dollar Treasury notes, and asked
who was Michael Hillegas?' de-
scribed by q line under his por-
trait on the notes as being "The
First Treasurer OF the United
States"
The Boston Herald throws
light on the question asked when
it says: "This recognition OF a
man whose personal worth and
service to his country have been
too long obscured, must be cred
tied to a descendant, the Rev.
Michael Lee Minich, a Lutheran
pastor, and Secretaries John
Hay and Leslie M. Shaw, who
from the archives OF the State
and Treasury Departments got
proof Of Hillegan's prior claims
to a post hitherto credited either
to Robert Morris of Samuel Mer-
edith. Hillegras was a pre-Revo-
lutionary Philadelphia sugar re-
finer, manufacturer of iron, and
merchant, whose credit was at
George Washington's command
whenever the great military lead
er needed funds, He fostered his
torical research, and was a musi-
clan of note"
The Herald thinks that SIS a.
mazing that, with all the research
into the Revolutionary period,
historians should have gone on
80 many generations crediting to
Morris and Meredith an honor
deserved an honor deserved by
Hillegas." It is amazing. 1t il
amazing that the early life o
Shakespeare, the greatest writer
the literature ofany country save
the Hebrews ever produced shoult
be obscured by a mist as dens'
almost as that which so oftei
shrouds the streets OF London
1t is amazing that the authen

are hedged in with even a sufiici
ent modlcum of doubt to Civ

1t is amazing that so noble al

Huntsville, January 1S.-(Speeial DIR
J. n. Mccormack health officer of Ken
lucky and representative of the American
Medical society delivered two addresses
in Huntsville yesterday, one to the Mad-
son County Medical society and the other
to the general public in the county court
house. Speaking to the doctors, he urged
them to hold more frequent meetings for
the discussion of papers. report of cases
and holding of clinics. His address to the
public dealt particularly with sanitation
and incidentally he advised closer rela-
lions between the people and their physi-
clans He said the position of the doctors
on matters of public policy has often been
misunderstood, even to the extent that
very necessary legislation suggested by
physicians has been frequently defeated.
Or. Mccormack took a shot at patent
medicines, and said a majority of the
most popular of them are composed of
nothing hut mean whisky favored with
medicine and that many poor in
had contracted the liquor habit through
using them tonics.

before, the receipts at the railroad depot
are greater this year than they have
