Mourners, weeping o’er the slumber Os a man with silver hairs, * Did you sue his spirit going' Up the angels’ starry stabs? Did you hear the angels calling, ‘‘Weary pilgrim, oenseto main !’’ Weep not o’er his peaceful slumber, He is only going home? Mother, bei iding o’er the cradle, Where your little one was laid, I)o you know the transformation That the sleep of death has made ? Think ! his feet had only started In the path beset by sin, When the gates of heaven opened, And they let your darling in. Wife, upon the grasses kneeling Where they hid away front sight Him who won your love, oh, tell me, Do you see no gleam of light ? He is waiting o’er the river, On the sunset Ferry’s shore, Till the pale and silent boatman Comes to row your frail boat o'er. Children, longing for the sunshine Os a loving mother’s smile, She has only gone before you— Tjnry vet a little while, S<von for you the sunset Gateway Shall at day’s decline unclose, And you’ll pass beyond its portals To a long and sweet repose. Maiden, is your pathway lonely ? Do yow miss a pleasant voice ? Do you listen for a footstep That could make your heart rejoice ? Oh 3 the patli of peace unending Is bef«re your loved one's feet And he’ll gladly hid you welcome When you reach the golden street. W 1 icn we see nur loved ones dying, ll.iw our hitter teardrops fall! And we fain would keep them with us, Though we hear the angels call. Yes, we kiss their lips at parting. While the angels whisper “Come!” And forget, in human sorrow, That they'ie only going home 1 Frankness— Ho frank with the world.— Fiankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occa sion, and take it for granted that you mean to do what is right. If a friend asks you a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonaldo; if it is not. tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him arid wrong yourself by equivo cation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one ; the man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased, and at a sacrifice. Deal kindly and firmly with all men, and you will fin l it ihe policy which wears the liest. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not. It you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dan gerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one tiling to a man’s face and another behind his back. We should live, act and speak out of doors, as the phrase is, and say and do what we arc willing should be known and read by all men. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but as a matter of policy. The marring* of Miss Clara Ne’ta Lc Vert, dnughte-of the well known authoress, Madame Le Vert, to Mr. Higail Renb, of Augusta, Ga., took place at Trinity Chapel, New York, on Wednesday evening. The bride appeared in a trousseau made and presented to her by an old negro nurse, who was formerly a servant of her mother. IV hen this old negress heard of the approaching marriage, she bought with her own earnings the finest muslin she could find in the South, and with her own hands made up the bridal dress. She also procur 'd the veil, and twined the wreaths of orange flowers. Eaeh one of the sevvants contributed somo ar tide of clothing, or a present, and then with many good wishes they paeked them in a trunk and sent them to New Y’ork. The bride elect at once set aside her more costly trousseau and accepted the gift which had been ten dered to her. There was a large and fashiona ble company present, both at tho ceremony and at the reception in the Colman House. The bride and bridegroom started for the South im mediately after the reception. An Eloquent Passage. Probably of all tho beautiful and eloquent passages ever written by the inimitable George P. Frentice, the following is the finest: “It cannot be that earth is a man’s only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast by eternity to float a moment upon its waves and sink into nothingness.— Else why is it that the high and glorivius aspis rations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are forever wandering unsatis fied ? Why is it that the rainbow and cloud come over us witli a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off to leavo us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that the stars which ‘hold their festival around the midnight throne' are set above tho grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unap proachable glory? And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are pre sented to our view and taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our nffection to flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts? There is a realm where the rainbow never fades ; where the stars will be spread out be fore us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which pass before us like shadows, will stay forov - cr in our presence. ’ The richer a man makes his food, the poorer he makes his appetite. Liberal Bequest. The late Thomas 0. Moore, an old resident at Williamsburg, N. Y., in a codicil to his will revokes a devise of bis estate to his sister Mar tha .Tune, comprising bonds, mortgages, scrip, certificates of bond stock, money, etc., for the reason that he desires to set apart a moderate fund for the relief of the suffering and desti tute widows and children of Southern soldiers whodied or were killed in the late war, in the Eastern part of South Carolina, North Caro Una and Georgia. lie, therefore, bequeathes to James and Francis S. l’orelear, Louis 1). DeSitusscttr ami E. Henry Frost, of Charles ton, S. C., and Rev. John Rumley, bonds in trust Tor that purpose amounting to t-2! ,000. Idie proportion to be distributed in South Carolina to be more than one-fifth of the whole amount with interest, to be distributed in the course of seven years. All the residue of the bonds and mortage*, with few exceptions, lie sets aside for the rebuilding or repairing of churches, without regard to sect or denomiua tion, injured by the late war, within the dis tricts of the Southern States aforesaid. —*.<->•♦ • A Beautiful Figure. Life is like a fountain fed by a thousand streams that perish if one be dried. It is a silver chord twisted with a thousand strings, that parts asunder if one be broken.— Thoughtless mortals arc surrounded by innu morablo dangers, which make it more strange that they escape so lorig, than that almost all pcrisli suddenly at last. Wo are encom passed with accidents every day to crush the decaying tenement which we inhabit. The seeds of disease are planted in our constitution by nature. The Arth and atmosphere whence we draw the breath of life, are impregnated with death ; health is made to operate its own destruction. The food that nourishes contains the ele ments of decay, the soul that animates it by vivifyingjffrst and to wear it out by its own action. Death lurks in ambush along the path. Xotwitloyiinding tliis.tnitli is so palpa bly confirmed by the daily example before your eyes, how little do we lay it to heart.— We see our friends and neighbors die; but how seldom does it occur to us our knell may give the next warning to the world. La/.v Bovs. —An exchange says; A la/.y boy makes a lazy man as sure as a crooked sapling makes a crooked tree. IVho ever saw a boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless he had a fortune to keep up ap pearance? The great mass of thieves, crimi nals and paupers hare come to what they are by being brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business part of the community —those who make our great and useful men —were taught in their boyhood to bo industri ous. 15oy, take that pipe out of your mouth and think of this. A clerk in a New York mercantile estab lishment relates a colloquy from which a sprightly youth in the same store came out second best. A poor boy came along with his machine, inquiring : “Any knives to grind ?” “Don't think wo have,” replied the young gentleman, facetiously ; “but can you sharpen wits?” “Yes, if you've- got any,” was the prompt response, leaving the interrogator at a loss to produce the article. - Ruffianism at the North. —The Boston Post makes the following frank confession : “The murder of Mrs. Hill, in Philadelphia; of Warren George, in Maine; the Kingston, Worcester and Charlestown tragedies, iu Mas sachusetts : the death of Kilton, at Canaan, N. 11., and some dozen other similar crimes, perpetrated within a few weeks at the North, outstrip offences in other portions of the coun try, which have excited so much attention lately.” Parties from Salt Lake city report that the grading of the Central Pacific railway has been completed one hundred and ten miles west of that place. The remaining eighty miles to the end of the track will be graded in three weeks. No interruption to the laying of the track has occurred thus far, and none is expected during the winter until the road reaches the Wassach mountains east of Salt Lake. A Portland lady attempted to kill a rat that had incautiously invaded her-parlor, when the animal sought refuge by running up her gar ments upon her back. This so alarmed the woman that she Hod shrieking front the room and tumbled down stairs, turning a complete somersault, landing on her back and effectually despatching the rat. Several different experiments in feeding corn to hogs, shows that two bushels of corn in the ear, or one bushel of shelled corn, made nine and seven-tenth pounds of pork, while tho same amount ground into meal and mixed with water made eleven and one eighth jiouuds of pork. Thero is nothing purer than honesty ; noth ing sweeter than charity ; nothing warmer than love, nothing brighter th.w virtue ; and nothing more steadfast than faith. These, united in one mind, the-purest, the sweetest, the richest, and brightest, the holiest and the most steadfast happiness. - - The notorious guerilla, Capt. Ed. Terrill, died in the City Hospital in Louisville, last Saturday fortnight, from the effects of wounds received in the celebrated raid on Shelby ville, Kentucky. Grief and discontent have generally their foundation in desire, so that whosoever can obtain tho sovereignty over his desire, will bo master of his happiness. I*Hy Your Small Debts. Pav your small debts. You do not know how much good is frequently accomplished by adopting this principle. It was honest old Ren Franklin, wo believe, who as a matter of experiment followed up a small amount he paid to a tradesman. In a very little while ho ascertained that the money paid had passed from hand to hand until the number of bills of nearly similar amount settled with it reach ed some fifteen or twenty. It may not bo pos sible to do as Franklin did, and tracts up the history of a small amount of money in the way of debt paying ; but it may bo set down as a fact that the prompt payment of small debts is the initiative 9tep toward paying cash for everything. Generally speaking, tticse small debts are due to persons who need all tho little capital they can command. To such, they are of immense importance ; and it may be said of the person who allows these trifling obligations to remain unpaid while having the means to discharge them, thqt he is not, in the true sense of the word an honest man, unless, by express contract a time for pay ment lias been fixed, and that not arrived.— l’ay your small debt* and big ones too. If you would be happy and comfortable, sleep sound, eat heartily, and enjoy the pence of mind which only men with good consciences ure supposed to enjoy, pay your small debts.— Exchange. Money. Money is a queer institution. It buys prov ender, satisfies justice, and heals wounded honor. Everything resolves itself into cash, from stock-jobbing to building churches.— Childhood craves pennies, youth aspires to dimes, manhood is swayed by the mighty dol lar. The blacksmith swing* his sledge, the lawyer pleads for his client, and the judge decides the question of life and death for his salary. Money makes the man, therefore the man must make money if he would be respect ed by fools ; for the eye of the world looks through golden spectacles. It buys Brussels carpet, lace curtains, gilded cornices and rich furniture, and builds marble mansion;*. It drives us to church in grand rigs, and pays the rent of the best pew. It buys silk and jewelry for my laaly. Ik commands the respect of gaping crowds, and secures obsequious atten tion. It enables us to be charitable, to send Bibles to the heathen, nnd relieve domestic indigence. It gilds the rugged scenes of life, and spreads over the rugged path of existence a velvet carpet soft to our tread ; the rude scenes of turmoil are incased in a gilt frame. It bids care vanish; soothes the anguish of the bed of sickness, stops short of nothing save the grim destroyer, whose relentless hand spares none, but levels all mortal distinctions, and teaches poor, weak humanity that it is but dust. Thus wealth pauses on the brink of eternity, the beggar and the millionaire rest side by side beneath tlie sod, to rise in equali ty to answer the final summons. The Difference. —One young lady rises early, rolls up her sleovss and goes into the kitchen to get breakfast, or insists upon doing so, and afterwards, with cheerful, and sunny smiles, puts tho houso in order without the assistance of .“mother.” She will make a good wife and render home a paradise. Young man, “get her!” Another young lady is a parlor beauty, pallid from company, dissipation and want of exercise, reads novels and almost dies of lazi ness, while her poor old mother does her washing. She is a useless piece es furniture, an annoyance to her own household, and a curse to tho husband she may eliance to “rope in,” and will go whining to her grave. Young man, “Let her alone !” Advantages of a Pure Lise. —ls you look into the early years of truly hopeful men, those who make life easier or nobler to those who come after them, you will almost invaria bly find that they lived purely in the days of their yout[i. In early life the brain tho’ abounding in vigor, is sensitive and very suss ceptiblo to injury—and this to such a degree that a comparatively brief and moderate in dulgence in yicious pleasures appears to lower the tone and impair both the delicacy and the efficiency of the brain fur life, t his is not preaching, boys—it is the simple truth of science.—[Packard's Monthly. A Beautiful Thought. —The sea is thelarg est of all cemetoms, and its slumberers sleep without monuments. Allother graveyards, in other lands show some distinction between the great and small, the rioh and poorf but in the ocean cemetery the king and the prince and the peasant aro all alike undistinguished.— The same wave rolls nvor all—the same requiem by the minstrels of the ocean is sung to their honor. Over the remains the same storm beats and the same sun shines, and there, unmarked the weak and powerful, the plumed and un honored, will sleep on until awakened by the same trump. A school teacher near Chattanooga, Tenn., was assaultod some days ago for having whip ped one of his pupils, and in the affray that ensued, four persons, including the school teacher, wore killed, the only person in the party who escaped unhurt being the school boy who originated the trouble. A Yankee farmer got a lot of rats and shut them up in a single cage ; they devoured one another till only a single ono was left. He then turned this one loose, when,, excited with the blood of his fellow rats, and' having be come a genuine caunibal, it killed and ate all the rats it could find on the premises. Josh Billings says he believes in the fin: J salvation of men ; but he wants the privilege of picking tho men. •VOL. 4, NO. 8 Origin of the Florida WqunbMc. Governor Reed, of Florida, “at the earnest request of leading colored men ’ in Jackson ville, as we learn from the Florida ( Jiion, addressed a public meeting in liia own defense last Monday. In his speech Gov. Reed ac counts for the “milk in tho cocoanut’ of Uve Florida impeachment, in part ns follows: The Legislature had authorized the issue of bonds to tho amount of -300,000, and the/ wore anxious to control these bonds. Glcasotf went to Washington and arranged the following programme with a party there. This party was to take all the bonds at 70 cents —or rather they were to bo pledged to him in advance a that price ; that lie was to buy up Stue scrip at 50 or GO cents, or as low as he could get it, and pay for the bonds in this scrip. In this way he would actually got the bonds at about 30 cents on the dollar, making nit immense profit out of the transaction, and Gleason pro posed to me that the bonds should bo disposed of in this way and that the profits should be divided between us. I refused to sanction such robbery upon the people, and so I must be removed in order to enable Gleason to get the bonds under bis own control, to dispose of for the profit of the ring. And how had I offended Senator Osborn ? I lmd refused to make appointments at his dictation, and to allow him to control the State, regardless of my own judgment; but worse than this, I had blocked one of his schemes for plunder. Sen ator Osborn proposed to me that we should obtain from the United States Government the grant of a large tract of land at Pensacola, for the State, and that I should then influence the Surveyor Goneral no that this land might be sold at a more nominal price to Senator Osborn. I refused to countenance this scheme, aud *o I must be removed that a more pliant tool might take my place, and tho ring might plunder to its heart’s content. Advantage of being Poor.—A poor man never has any taxes to pay. He can sit down and langh assessors to scorn, and read of the ( big appropriations made by councils with a feeling of indesoribable cjhileration. A poor man can enjoy life. lie lives in a rented house, and it needn’t worry him to see it abused, and bis equanimity need not be dis« turbed if it burns down. ,* A poor man can repose in the bosom of hi* family and know that there are no avariciou* young men prowling around after rich daugh** ters. Nobody wants tho poor man to die; nobody is laying around in misery and impatience waiting for him to die, so as to absorb his funds. Another thing— no poor man is ever worried by debt, for nobody will ever trust him, and when he does see a greenback, lie hoartily enjoys it—he does. Advertising Ai*horisms.— If you don’t mean to mind your business, it will not pay to adver tise. Bread is the stuff of human life, and adver tising is the staff of life in trade. Don’t attempt to advertise unless you have a good stock of a meritorious article. Newspapers advertisements are good of their kind, but they cannot take the place of eifeu** lars and handbills. Handbills and circulars are good of their kind, but they cannot take the place of news paper advertisements. Bonner, for several successive years, invest ed in advertising all tfceprofits of the preceding year. Now see where he is I Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low.— Either plan will prevent good times from ever coming. A remarkable feat of “hurdle jumping' by a train on the Erie Railroad is announced,.-- Recently the day express for Buffalo, when going at tho rate of twenty miles an hnur, was thrown from the track by a misplaced switch, and dashing along over the sleepers for two hundred feet, struck an iron frog and was vio lently placed again on the track. No ono was injured. A native Boston youth accosted a boy of de cided African lineage a few days since, and inquired of the sable lad why he has so short u nose. The reply w as. “I spccts so it won t poke itself into other people's business.” Smith and Brown running opposite ways around a corner, struck each other. “Oh, dear! how you made my head ring,’’ said Smith. “That’s a sign its hollow,” said Brown. “But didn’t yours ring?” “No.” ‘That’s a sign its cracked,’ replied his friend-.- A little boy, four years old, was bcingVpnfr to bed ono night, by a young lady, who tucked him up nicely and kissed him. He returnedl the kiss, and then said: ‘‘Bo the big boys ever kiss you? lie was, of course, answered in the negative, but he added, “I reckon I know the reason, you won-’t let them 1” A waggish apprentice, one day after dinner, deliberately stepped up to his master and ask ed him what he valued his services at per day. “Why, about six cents,” said the master. “Well, then,” said the boy, putting his hand into his pocket and drawing out somo coppers “hero’s three cents. I’m off for half a day !” Many flowers open to the sun ; but only one follows him in his course. Heart, be thou the sun-flower; be not only open to thy God, but obey him, too. The editor who “ did not mind his stops” introduced some verses thus: “The poem published this week was composed by an es teemed friend who has lain in his grave many years for his own amusement.”
