SIMON TO 1*0 !S.
The Last Lay of the ( lan Cameron.
Washington Capital ]
The following, as 1 understand it, is
Simon’s dying address to his son Don,
to whom he bequeathed everything but
his brains and his reputation. Simon
does not will Don his brains, because
Don has no use for the article; while
he already has as much reputation of
that sort as he can co iveniently get
along with:
the workers that they were laboring uuler
ad elusion, he doubtless he laughed at ft r
his exceeding stupidity in discrediting the
statements of the dead Indian hunter.

History of a Picture*
Come bitber, Donald CameroD,
And stan i beside my knee,
My race of life is nearly run,
Grim Death draws near to me .-
But a* I quit the public crib, m
I will explain io you
How jobs are done and parties run
And how to put things through.
Lo ! I have been for forty years
A statesmen and a chief;
Some call me Winnebago
Yes, some have whiskered thief.
But I have rerer been accused —
Whatever I have done—
By day or night of losing sight
Of Simoa—number c
; halts
Thu* in these marble St n
I’ve sat. for many days
The politician’s trade I’ve learned,
With all its tricks and ways.
I’ve learned that statecraft is a game
Like poker with a blind—
Where if you pass, for want of hr*8t=
You’re always left behind.
The Keystone is a noble State;
Realm proud enough for king,
And I have ruled it many years
With what they call the ring.
But now rny hand is getting weak,
My pulse beats faint and low,
My lingers slip, I lose my rrir,
And I trust scon Jet go.
There is a place called Harrisburg,
And there a crew doth moot
Of catiffs and of flunkeys hired
To wash and wipe my feet.
This crew 1 doth brqueath to yeu
To have and hold away: * v ’ ' '
They’ll do voir work and never shirk
So they but got tkoir pay.
Now all you noed to do my son,
Is keep the gang well paid,
And keep those whom you cannot buy
Dishoa-toned or afraid.
If tbe»e hebe.-ta you do observe
And these commands obey,
You shall be king and boss lho ring
' With undisputed sway.
I charge thee, boy, it e’er thou meet
With ODe of Forney's name,
Be it in legislative balls
Or in the lobby’s shame,
Face him as thou would’st fsce the foe
Who thy sire’s sins did tell;
Remember of what breed thou art,
And give the oatiff hell.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the same
city. One delighted in delineating beauty
in all its graces of tint, form, and motion.
His portraits were instinct with the charm,
of physical vigor. The graceful, half-
voluptuous outline of form and feature
harmonized with delicately blended tints.
On his canvas, the homeliest face had an
almost irresistible charm. The other
found pleasure only in depicting weird
and gloomy subjects. Above all, did he
excel in painting the portraits of the
dying. The agonizing death-throe, the
ghastly face and form, were all depicted
with marvelous fidelity. There existed
between these artists the most intense dis
like. At length this dislike culminated.
The beauty-loving artisthad been engaged
in painting the portrait of a beautiful
woman. Connoisseurs pronounced it tbe
most wonderful piece of art that had ever
been produced. His brother artist was
jealous of his fame and sought revenge.
By bribing the keeper of the studio he
gained access to the picture each night.
At first he was content to only deaden the
brilliancy of the complexion and eyes,
efface the bloom frem cheek and lip and
paint a shadow on either cheek. Later,
his strokes grew bolder and freer, and
one morning the artist awoke to find the
entire outline of the portrait changed.
He could scarcely.recognize in the ema
ciated ferm and haggard countenance the
glowing conception he had embodied.
The pallid face and expressionless eyes he
had attributed to a lack of genuineness
in his materials; but when the cutlines
were changed he suspected the cause and
indignantly dismissed the keeper. What
the revengeful artist marred by a few
rapid strokes, of his skillful brush was
only restored by years of patient industry.
Reader, need we name theartiBts—Health,
who paints the flowers and "grassy car
pet” no less than the human form divine;
Disease, the dreaded artist who revels
inanity; and Carelessness, the keeper to
whom Health often intrusts his portraits.
And is it not the beauty of womaD, the
most admired of all the works which
adorn the studio of Health, that Disease
oftenest seeks to mar? The slightest
stroke of his brush upon the delicate or
ganization leaves an imprint that requires
much skill and patience to efface. Res
toration must be prompt. Carelessness
must be dismissed. Let suffering women
heed the warning ere Disease has marred
their chief beauty—Health—beyond rep
aration. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion has been used by thousands of these
sufferers, and they are unanimous in their
praise of its excellence. If you would
be transformed from the pallid, nervous
invalid into a happy, vigorous woman,
try it.

E C WILSON, Sheriff.
Buchanan, March 29, 1877. tf
Two French ladies are conversing on
the qualities and demerits of their own
fair sex. Said one, with a twinkle in
her beautiful eyes, “I have never
known bui two women who were really
perfect," “Who was the other?” asked
her companion, with a smile on her
fine, thin lips.
The wealthy Marquis d’Aligre, who
died in Paris sometime ago, was so par
simonious that, seeing his servant -one
day with a smart-looking hat, he repri
manded him for his extravagance.—
“But it is the old hat you gave me; I
had it ironed fra franc.” “Ah,” said
the marquis, "but I did not know it
could be restored. Here is the franc
you pain—I will take the hat.” And
he forlhwith tr.lnsferred the renovated
beaver to his own head.
Spiritualism in Tennessee.
Chicago
Nashville c .rrcapoudcr.ce
Tribune.]
Outside of the fact that the great army
of scoffers at so-called Spiritualism may
believe that a man gives credence to its
peculiar doctrines was a lunatic ere he
became a convert, I don’t remember ever
hearing of any Spiritualist in Tennessee
goiDg stark mad upon the subject, and
the State holds probably some 1,500 be
lievers, who belong to all classes and de
grees, and includes both educated and un
educated disciples. Before the war, a
Christian minister went over to Spiritual
ism, and a large number cf people weie
kind enough to remark that he had been
laboring under temporary aberration of
mind, or lie never could have taken so
round-about a shoot toward Heaven
He still maintained an equilibrium of
mind, and was as eloquent and as power
ful upon his new subject as when he spoke
from velvet-trimmed pulpits, in true or
thodox style, to cultivated and highly
refined audiences. While the Spiritual
ists of Tennessee may, as in other places,
have fallen in the estimation of their
more orthodox brethren, it is but justice
to say that the believers represent a class
of respectable and thrifty citizens, though
this sort of religion, or fanaticism as many
would term it, has at divers times af
forded diversion, and even been a source
of revenue, to persons imitating the
seances of the true believers, and im
posing upon the credulity of their fellow-
men.
It is told that there is a colony of Spir
itualists who have settled down among the
mountain fastnesses of Tennessee, and
who claim to have been directed thither
by the spirit of a dead hunter, who was
wont to thread his way through the mazes
and labyrinths of the deep gulches that
line the mountain sides. Here, while on
his hunt after bears and other wild ani
mals, he—so he communicated through
the medium—had discovered in a certain
spot, and at the bottom of a gulch, an in
exhaustible gold mine. It was stated to
the credulous believers that if they dug
down to the depth of 200 feet they would
strike the rich vein, and the fortune of
every individuol engaged in the search
would be assured. This little colony
lived frugally, dwelling in little comfort
less log huts, and, when they could spare
the time from delving after the precious
metal, they raised small patches of pota
toes and corn, which, with the wild meat
brought down with the rifle, furnished
them with a livelihood. Here, isolated
from all the rest of the busy world, strug
gling for a mythical store of gold, the
deluded beings Lave for years labored,
and grown old and gray in the service,
and many have sunk down to the grave
without even getting a sight of the goal
of their hopes. The hard flint and tough
marble that dulled the edges of their
instruments seemed almost beds of iron,
yet they never yielded, only making
more strenuous efibns, and the delvrng
down into the promising bowels cf the
earth was carried on in the face of almost
“““mountable difficulties. The faith
still lingers, and, were any one to inform
