The Memphis Avalanche indulges in the following bit of sentiment. Late at night, while the fire nnd lamps bura low and dim, we lay down No. 10.039, VoL LXVIII, of the Na tional Intelligencer, and lean back to think, overcome by the many memories which familiar caption calfs up. We have read it constantly for thirty two years, minns the four bitter years of civil war, aud had the good fortune to know its old editors, Joe Gales and Wm. W. Seaton, both great and good men, new numbered with the dead, but of immortal memory. “Not only of these princely gentle men does the Intelligencer remind us, but ot many, many another whom we were fortunate in knowing, and whom the country has lost —Webster and Clay and Crittenden ; Dawson, the ‘Commo dore,’ of Georgia, peerlees at the dinner table. Rusk and Houston, Floyd, kind est hearted of all living men ; that noble gentleman, Butler, of South Carolina; Prentiss, worthy to be called Chrysos tom, golden-mouthed, and not only be yond comparison the most eloquent, but the most genial aud generous of men ; large-hearted Tom Corwin ; Keith, gallant and good; Badger, w ise beyond other men, of admirable wit and always enamored of the truth; Sevier and Douglas, Clemens nnd Kuilman, with many a dear old familiar face, of others less known to fame and eveu more beloved, crowd around us as we write; the dead mingling with the living: Por ter of the Spirit a.-d Inman the artist, and glorious John Brougham, and Alex ander Dimitry, large sonled as one of Homer’s heroes and as wise is Plato; Breckinridge and Bonham, Boyce and Robert Johnson, four men ot like prince ly natures; all these and many like these we met at Washington in the better times, when the Senate of the United States met in the old Chamber, and that city was the capital the Northern and the Southern States. “ Ehea, fvgace.i l how the years drift away and we become garrulous, and forget that the long list of names, and the memories they call up, of ‘the re fections of the gods’ and times gone never to return, and scenes already dim as I hey recede into the past, have in terest for no one but ourself! Never theless, it is written, it is a cry from the heart. Let it stand. Thank God, neither power nor malice can confiscate and sell for coin to knaves the happy or the sad mementoes of the past.” Hard Times —We agree, says the Griffin Star, with our able cotempo rary of Columbus, that a great deal of the hue and cry about hard times is caused bv our extravagance. What has become of the “homespun dress,” so eloquently immortalized in song, during the war? Where are those elegant jeans we used to be so proud to get bold of ? Both have gone ! and in thair place our ladies are tricked out in the worthless finery of New York, and the licentious fashions of Paris. A miserable deform ity in the shape of dead people’s hair, horse hair and dog hair, is appended to the head, once beautiful, but now misshappen. Health destroying stays cramp and disfigure the once beautiful and lithe form. A half dozen yards of costly silk is made to trail in the mud in the rear of the full dressed lady, where it performs the useful office of sweeping from the side-walk old tobacco chews, cigar stumps, dead rats, and other garbage, by which the spotless white spirit beneath soon bocomes of the same color as the gutter, and never bleaches white again. Costly machines are purchased, by means of which the lower garments are placed at the mercy of every passing breeze, and those por tions of the human form held sacred by our grand mothers and mothers, become food for the eyes of the libertine and the graceless loafer. The irresistible blush of modesty flies the cheek, and the purchased blush of commerce assumes its empire on the once lovely face. All this costs money, arid costs that which is more precious than money. The husband and father groans “hard times,” complains of “short crops,” “dull trade,” ‘‘stagnation in bus iness." etc. Nor is this extravagance confined to the ladies. The economical and comfortable jeans suit has given wav to slop shop ready made clothing, and to the finer pharaphranalia of the merchant tailor; and worse than this, the soul destroying body stimulants, whiskey and tobacco, go pouring in torrents down the throats of men. Even in Griffin, one of the most moral places in the State, at least ten times as much is spent for whiskey and tobacco as for preaching the Gospel, educating the youth, supporting the municipal govern ment, and for charity. Aud we have an universal wail of hard times through out the laud. Is it a wonder that Mie times are hard ? Rather is it not a won der that we are allowed to live at all ? —During a revival in a church in Alleghany, I’enn., on Tuesday night two females happened to get into the same pew, one of whom was a married woburn, and who strongly suspected the other with having alienated the affec tions of her husband. Upon catching a glimpse of the single female, she sprang upon her, and a general hair pulling and scratching followed. A great commotion in the church ensued, and the females were finally ejected. —A writer of table talk in the Cu'ir dian says that Allred Tennyson busy on a poem, longer and on a grander scale than his lust. The name of this poem has been stated to bo “The Death of Lucretius.” The most cursory reader of the news papers of the day must have noticed that of late crime has fearfully increased in the land. Like the Eastern scourge, it appears to visit us in an epidemic form. And what is more noticeable, its ravages are not confined to any one particular section, but appears to bp uni versal in their sweep. New Furniture Store! ■ ■ —o ■ ■ - « JSUL. M.
