man.
Storekeeper began to count
the counter. “ Eight,” said
ty big spread of boys already,
FlGrajtr, but here goes ;”and added,
ouc^rnd then another, and yet - a
fourth, apd picked off a fifth, and
finatigsee ing the old man immovable,
he leased down three more, and was
about. to! descend himself, when the
old man told him to hold on and throw
down a few more.
“ Oh, come, uncle,” said he, “ you
are jokingbut to please him, he
threw dtwn tweuty.
“ That’s justT)ne too many,” said
the old moan.
“ Whit—you don’t mean to say
that you have got nineteen sons ? Whar
in the name of the State of Tennessee,
are they ?”
“ They are in Tennessee—right here
in the city—up at the hotel,” said the
old man.
“Stranger,” said the shopkeeper,
“ if yon ken show me nineteen boys
of your raisin, tliar’s the hats.”
“ Hold on, then,” said the old man,
and oil he started. In about ten min
utes down the street he came, leading
a line of nineteen boys, marching single
file, each bearing a good gun, and
followed by their venerable mother.—
They entered the merchant’s store,
and ranged along the counter, the
storekeeper ran his eyes along the line
with astonishment.
“ And you say these are all yours ?”
he inquired.
“ Ask their mother—she says they
are,” replied the old man.
“ Do you say they are yours?” he
inquired.
“ Yes, I do, and I ought to know,”
was the reply.
“ Well, you might, I’ll swear,” said
the storekeeper. “Old friend,” he
added, “ I ain’t got a word to say—
jest take them hats and mine too I”
How much the heart may bear and yet
not break;
n »v m :c’» thj flesh may suffer,'-yet
not die!
I question much, if any pain or ache
Of soul or body brings our end more
nigh- :>
Death chooses his owu time; till that is
aworn,
AH evils may lie borne.
We shrink and shudder at the smgeon’s
knife, , • *
Each nerv.c recoiling troin the cruel
Whose edge seems searching for the
quivering life
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal,
That till the trembling flesh 1« piece
meal torn.
This also can be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way—
And try to flee from the approaching
ill;
We seek some small escape, we weep
and pray,
But when the blow falls, then our
hearts are’still;
Not that the pain is of the sharpness
shorn, ,
But that it can be borne
We wind our life about another's life,
We hold it closer, dearer than our
% own—
Anon.it iaiuts and tails in deadly strife.
Leaving us stunned and stricken and
alone.
But ah ! we do not die with those we
mourn;
This, als<>, can be borne.
Behold we live through all things—
famine, thirst.
Bereavement—pain—all grief and
misery,
All woe and sorrow ; life inflicts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die ;
Though we be sick and taint, or tired
and worn,
Lo ! all things can be borne.

jig i Madison, w.
Every one has heard the phrase but
few know its origin. The following
account of it is good enough to be
true:
Many years ago a fine looking old
gentleman from Western Virginia en
tered a store in Nashville, Tennessee,
isaid store was owned by a bluff, hon
est old trader, who knew more about
the quality of the counter than he did
about the fineness of the fabrics on it
—nevertheless, between the two ex
tremities of that shelf contriving to
make both ends meet the necessity of
the case. The Virginian cast his eyes
around the shelves and finally remark
ed :
“ Well, neighbor, I see you’ve got
hat.-.”
“ A slight sprinkle,” was the an
swer. “ Whar ye from ?”
“ Old Virginia,” was the response.
“ Right smart old State,” replied
the Tennesseean, “ but getting rather
too old to keep her own.”
“ What do you mean ?” inquired the
Virginian.
“ Well, just what I say, uncle ; she
can’t keep her liar on; for instance,
now, I should think you hav been a
right healthy child of the Old Domin
ion, but she has “ shed” you at last,
and, like Samson of old, that’s the
way she is loosing all the best har off
her venerable head.”
The old Virginian looked around
the store rather bothered with the lib
erty this Tennessean was taking with
his mother State, and finally re
marked :
I came here to talk about hats,
stranger, and not har.”
Well, well uucle, don’t get wrathy
now. I was only venturing a political
opinion about population in general,
and on that we won’t quarrel, but be
fore we look at the hats, as they are
intimately connected with the heads,
’spose we take a mite of bald face.”
The proposition was agj-eed to, the
liquor was imbibed, and next follow
ed the hats.
The merchant tossed down four or
five wool hats of various, 6izes, aud
invited the old gentleman to select one
wiucl\. would fit him. He looked at
them, examined the sizes, said they
would do, aud requested the store
keeper to hand him a few more.
“ That is all the sizes I’ve got,” said
he, “ but here’s a few more, if you’d
like them better,” aud so saying he tossed
down three more.
“Them are all right,” said the old
Virginian, turning them around, and
the stout old storekeeper, blowing
with exertion, descended from his
perch, where he was straddling from
shelf to counter. As soon as he
reached the floor, the old Virginian
remarked that he had not got enough
yet.
“ Oh you want ’em f6r. your nig
gers T says the storekeeper. “Well,
why didn’t you say so when I was up f ’
and again proceeded to perch himaelf
up like a mercantile Colossus. When
Miss Kellie Grant and (jnecn Victoria.
The San Francisco “ Chronicle” has
received through private sources a let
ter written by Mis3 Nellie Grant to
Queen Victoria, previous to her recent
visit to Windsor Palace. Its charm
ing simplicity and thorough good sense
—if it be authentic—put beyond ques
tion all doubts as to the nature ot the
visit and the feeling which prompeted
it. It reads as follows :
Langley’s Hotel, May, 1872.
My Deak Lady and Queen.—I
ant embarassed at the honor of an of
ficial request, given through a high
officer (your Lord Chamberlain, I
think.) to be presented to your Ma
jesty. I should dearly love to see you,
that I might tell my mother aud father
that I had been thus honored. I am
but a simple American girl; that lam
the President’s daughter gives me no
claim to your recognition as a sover
eign. If, with the kind lady who is
acting as my chaperon, I might visit
you, I should be very glad. Our Sec
retary of Legaton hints at some polit
ical significance in this opportunity.—
I cannot so interpret it, would not like
to be so received, because it would not
be right, as I am nothing in American
politics, and I am sure that ray father
would not desire me to appear any
other than as *niy simple and very
humble self. If, with this explana
tion, your Majesty will allow me to
visit you, I shall be greatly honored
and be very proud.
I have written this note of my own
notion, and because I think it the
right thing to do. I am your Majes
ty’s very obedient servant and ad
mirer, Nellie Grant.
The reply is equally refreshing, and
betrays a spirit which does more hon
or to the British Queen than multi
tudes of other actions for .which her
subjects have loudly applauded her:
Windsor Castle.
Miss Nellie Grant—I have in
structed Lady to convey to
.you this note, and we shall receive
you as the daughter of your honored
parents without the intervention of
high officers of the State I shall ac
cept your visit as an “ American girl,”
and there shall l>e no other signifi
cance in the fact than your kindly ex
pressed desire to Ece the lady and not
the sovereign. I shall find it pleasant
to forget that I am Queen in receiving
you to-morrow afternoon at our palace
of Windsor. Victoria.
week in July. M. Rouzaud is a
French gentleman about 116 years of
age, and is a stock broker, now residing
iu Paris. Miss Nilson first met M.
Rouzaud in Paris, when she went to
that city some seven years since to
begin her brilliant career as the “Queen
of Song.” Since that time they have
been devotedly attached to each other.
During Miss Nilsson’s tour iu America
M. Rouzaud made a brief visit to this
country, at which time Miss Nilsson
gave him the promise of her hand and
heart. The delighted Frenchman re
turned to his native land overjoyed.
This union is founded on love alone.
M. Rouzrud is by no means a wealthy
man, his property having been impair
ed by the late war. Miss Nilsson has
hail many offers of marriage from
titled noblemen and front most wealthy
gentlemen, both in this country and
in Europe, hut to all she bus turned a
deaf ear.
Ollier private letters, received in
this city during the past week by
friends of Miss Nilsson, states that this
wedding will lie one of the grandest
and most brilliant that have taken
lace on the continent for many year-.
The bridwl pair intend to sojourn in
Switzerland during their honeymoon,
and Miss Nilson will reappear on the
operatic stage in Russia in Septembar
next. Dr. Fordyce Barker, of this
city, who is now in Europe, will rep
resent Miss Nilson’s most intimate
New York friends at the wedding.—
Notwithstanding her legious of Euro
pean admirers, Miss Nilson seems most
anxious of meeting those to whom she
became devotedly attached while in

selling all the way from sixty to eigh
ty-five, the narrow gauge is in the
ninety shillings, at par, and, in some
instances, at a premium. In Canada
they have about four hundred miles of
narrow gauge railway in process of
construction, with grades of one hun
dred and four feet, and curves ot three
hundred and fifty feet, with rails from
twenty-five to thirty pounds per yard.
The means of these roads are twenty
year bonds at six per cent.
They have thus far been sold at one
hundred to one huudred aud four.—
These bonds are mainly city and town
ship bonds aloug the line of these

Col. A. R. Lamar, President of the
Atlanta Convention, iu his address to
that body in assuming the chair, said :
Let us march up to this Lsue as
men prepered to bury in a common
grave personal pride, passion, preju
dice and ambition, and while we see
crumbling around us iu a storm which
we could not avert all the monuments
of civil liberty, let us, with a devotion
like -Eneas of old, when he boro An-
chises from the burning ruins of Troy,
take upon our brawny arm our old
Mother, Georgia, and with stout
hearts inarch through all dangers to
place her upon a pinnacle of safety
and honor.
Col. Lamar goes to the funeral of
the Democratic party at Baltimore
with a hopeful and courageous spirit,
but if lie and those of his inclining
suppose that in (tearing upon their
“ brawny arm our old Mother, Geor
gia,” to the revolting embrace of the
tricky aud malignant old wood-chop
per of Chap|>aqua, they are placing
that worthy old lady “ upon a pinna
cle of safety and honor,” we fear they
will find themselves sadly disappointed,

Narrow Gauge Railway Secue
ities.—Narrow gauge railways are
rapidly gaining favor, not only among
practical railway men, but with capi
talists. The securities of these roads
are eagerly sought after, and are now
in many cases commanding a pre
mium. While broad gauge bonds are
Tiie mean attacks made upon some
of our former leaders and the misera
ble beslobbering of Greeley by some of
the recent parasites, of the latter, are
simply contemptible.
It is, we believe, about the first time
in the annals of our history that when
a portion of a party proposed to tem
porarily slough off from its time hon
ored principles, that they propose to
ridicule and denounce those who have
ever been true to it and feeel that it is
ruinous to depart from the ancient
land marks.
Horace Greeley is the life long, in
veterate, implacable enemy of every
thing Democratic, and beeanse our old
leaders and thousands of the party
cannot be reconciled to his support,
they are denounced as “ bolters,” “ fa
natics,” “ dangerous advisers,” and
every mean thing with which they can
be charged, while Greeley, our most
dangerous enemy, who believes in
Radical legislation, as matters of true
political faith, who has been the author
and instigator of the hellish outrages
perpetrated upon our people, and esje
eially .South Carolina, finds apologists
by many men and journals.
Great God, what arc we coming to !
Dan Voorhees, our champion at the
North, denounced !
Rob Toombs, yes, “ glorious old
Rob,” who, although at times, |>crhnps,
violent in his terrible denunciations,
has the courage, the manhood, to
properly characterize the infamies of
Radicalism, is denounced !
That purest of the Statesmen of
earth, Alexander H. Stephens, who
has done so much to unearth Radical
villaiuy and to |s>int out the dangers
of Centralism, and of our l>cing lured
into its paths, is denounced!
And by whom ? By those who
have, since the Cincinnati Convention,
found Horace Greeley to be a (tolitical
saint, and the great leader who is to
bring us safely out of a political
Egypt. The leading journals and men
who think it best to take up the Cin
cinnati movement do so in rather a
dignified, genteel manner; hut the
smaU fry and lice, amongst politicians
and newspapers, abuse the true men of
the country worse than pickpockets.—
Is it not disgusting ? Is it not inde
scribably mean.
We are pointed to South Carolina,
who goes for Mr. Greely. We love
that noble people and appreciate their
situation. They have been so merci
lessly and outrageously treated, that
they are willing to make any change.
They clamor for Greeley much as did
the Jew in the Inquisitional bastile,
“ bless Mary, the mother of Jesus!”
We are satisfied these volunteer enthu
siasts iu behalf of Mr. Greeley will
have enough in the futue to take back
and clear up their new found and zcAl
ms allegiance to his cause without fur
ther politically damning themselves,
beyond a probable hopeless propects of

Marriages sometimes make queer re
lationships. A man out West writes
to one of the papers, giving his own
status as follows:
“ I married a widow who had a
grown up daughter. My father visit
ed our house very often, and fell in
love with my stepdaughter and mar
ried her. So my father became my
son-in-law, and my step-daughter my
mother, because she was my father’s
wife. Sometime afterward, my wife
had a son ; he was my lather’s brother-
in-law and my uncle, for he was the
brother of my step-daughter. My
fttbert wif^-i. «., my
—had also a son, he was, of course,
my hrother, and in the meantime my t
graud-child, for he was the son of ray ^ |
daughter. My wife was my grand
mother, because she was my moihZFs s •
mother. I was my wife’s husband
and grand-child at the eaiue time.
And ns the husband of a personV
grand-mother is his grand-father, l
was my own grand-father.”
Prices of Wheat.
One of our leading grain houses,
some days since, made special arrange
ments to ship to St. Loius several c»r
loads of new wheat- On Saturday
last they received a letter from their
St. Louis agent stating that new wheat
would not bring there more than $1 50 >
per bushel, sacks included, and that to . 7
millers in small lots for mixing with
old. The cost of transportation being ?
35 cents per bushel, the wheat would-
have to be bought here at $1 15, and,
allow nothing for expenses or Commis
sion?. Of course the transaction was U
not made. ,
Our exchanges of Detroit, Milwai -
kee, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, •
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and all
Southern and Southwestern exchanges,
quote wheat, old and new, winter and
spring, as “ dull and drooping.”—
With such lights as we have before os,
it would not be safe to predict a high
figure for the Tennessee crop. Those -
of our farmers who can a vail'them
selves of the present rates would, we
think, do well to dispose of their wheat
at an early day. The lirica in tuucK
more likely to go to SI 15@81 25
than to advance.
The facts we have cited at the be
ginning of this article clearly show
that the croaking of the Democrat, the
substance of which we reproduce, has
had no effect upon wheat in the St.
Louis Market. Those who “ hit the
market” now will make money by it.

Weight of Honey for Winter
ing Bees.—Mrs. Tupper states that
in the case of a number of strong col
onies of bees the consumption of hon
ey in October was 4 lbs.; in Novera-
lier, 4$ lbs.; December, 2$ lbs. ; Jan
uary, 3 lbs.; February, 34 lbs. ;
March, 5 lbs.; aud April, 7£ lbs.; a
total of 30 lbs. This was ascertained
by actual weight, and affords a criter
ion of the amount needed for winter
consumption out of doors. But as the
amounts vary in various localities and
sea«ons, it will be safe to see that the
hives contain more than this amount
when the bees go into winter quarters.
Every empty hive, on being made
ready for occuf*ancy, should be care
fully weighed, and the weight duly
marked upon it, or registered in n
book. When the bees are put into it
they can also lie weighed, and the
weight of combs and honey also be as
certained from week to week. Suc’i
facts will always be of interest and ira
l*)rtancc.
The Strikes.—The New York
Tribune gives statistics of the great la
bor strikes North. The number of
laborers that have struck is 61,000.—,
Of these 36,050 have obtained oonce-.
sions of eight hours a day; 27.221
have been obliged tj resume work at
ten hours a day, and 11,403 are (till
on a strike. In the eight weeks of the
strike the loss to the employers has
been $2,043,550, aud to the laborers
81,674,950, making an aggregate loss
to both of $3,718,500. Other loss has
occurred in driving trade to other
cities.
Another Lump.—A lump of pure
gold, weighing half pound, was recent
ly found by a negro woman on the
plantation of Mr. Hugh C. Nisbet, in
Union county. The woman was ho-
ing cotton and knocked the lump over
with her hoe. The indications are
that Mecklenburg and Union counties
will prove to be the best gold-mining
regions in the world. Whenever the
mines in this section are Worked by
common sense men, and hot by theor
ists, they will prove more profitable
than those of Australia or any other
portioh of the world.-rrCKarZotts Demo
