“More Light.’’—The Last Words Goethe.
-‘‘More light,” the dying poet cried,
Though through the open window wide
The slanting sunbeams pourod a tide
Os fulborbod glory us bo died.
“fie lived ia light," the world all said,
And lumped their honors on his head ;
Butlic, upon that dying bed,
Knew that the rays of light had fled.
Why dark, oh man of mystic mind 1
Would you have light and still he blind ?
Had nature been to you unkind?
Or wlmt did you expect to find
Just on the verge oT that bright shore,
Where darkness conies not any more?
Say, is it given you to exploro
What you so anxiously before
Looked through the darkness to descry,
With vour deep, manysoolored eye?
And yet you have not told us why
You still are silent when you die 1
Would you, oh mystic, have moro light,
When suns and stars are shining bright?
Or did that no.m-day seem like night,
When opening on your dazzled sight 7
More light—when sleeping to arise 1
More light—when waking in tho skies!
More light —when nil before your eyes
Was one bright scene of mule surprise 1
“More light,” should he the earnest call,
The ceaseless, silent prayer of all
Whose faith is father to the cry—
More light to live, move light to die.
An Appeal for tho Removal of the Confed
erate Dead at Gettysburg.
By correspondence and other means it has
been brought to the special attention of tho
Hollywood Memorial Association of Richmond
that three thousand Confederate soldiers are
buried on and near the battle field of Gettys-.
burg.
David Wills, Esq.. President of the Nation*
al Cemetery Company, says in a letter to Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee:
“There has never been any action hy the
Board of Managers of the Soldiers’ National
Cemetery Company here in reference to the
disposition of the remains of the Southern
dead lying on this battle-field. Neither is
there any action contemplated. The charter
of the association provides only for the inter
ment of the remains of thoso who fell in de
fence of the Union.
"There should he something done with the
remains of the Southern soldiers. There are
about GOO marked graves, and these are becom
ing obliterated. Their names might be pre
served, and the remains gathered together into
a cemetery or burying ground, if any one
would take the matter in hand.”
Their trusted chief, Gen. R. E. Lee, whom
tbev followed, and fighting under whose lea
dership they fell, approves the plan of remo
ving their bodies to our own soil.
The Hollywood Moumri 1 Association have
the disposition to undertake tin 0 - work, but do
not possess the ability unless generously aided
by friends throughout the South. They offer
ample grounds in their cemetery, and also the
aid of their association to prosecute the work,
should it lie fund practicable to remove the
bodies to Richmond.
To accomplish this purposo, moans must he
raised hy the earnest efforts of the survivors
of the Confederate army, the mothers, and sis
ters, and fathers, and brothers, and friends of
the slain. Every Southern State has repres
entatives at Gettysburg. Will not active mon
and women, in every city, and town, and
county, at once volunteer to collect and send
contributions ?
In this way we may gatker those
“Who bore the flog of our nation’s trust,
And fell in the cause, though lost, still just;
Gather the corpses strewn
O'er many a battle plain,
From many a grave that lies so lone,
Without a name and without a stone,
Gather the Southern slain.”
Mrs. Geo. W. Randolph,
Mrs. R. E. Lee,
Mrs. J. L, M. Ccrrv.
Communications and remittances may be
sent to Mrs. G. W. Randolph, Richmond. Vir
ginia.
Southern papers are respectfully requested
to copy this appeal at once, and urge its
claims upon the generous public.
What is a Luxury ?—lt may interest far
mers. says the Reform League, to know that
upon “all the halter, trace and plow chains
used hy ‘hem they have peen taxed G 7 per
cent. They are great luxuries.
“Painters ought to know what extravagant
people they are; all the varnish gums used by
them are taxed 80 per cent.
“But silvered plate glass, in common use for
mirrors, and as we all know, used by every
laborer for mirror over his mantel, when not
above 24 by 3v) inches, is taxed only 33J per
cent.
Plow chains and varnish you are not permit
ed, but you may have cheap plate glass.”
In digging a tunnel under the Mississippi,
at Minneapolis, tho workmen pierced a sunken
cavern on Monday morning. On Tuesday
mi ming a whirlpool was discovered, marking
tho mouth of the cavern. The rush of water
is causing a caving in of the ground, and not
withstanding the efforts of thousands of men
the danger of tho river s cutting anew chan
nel is imminent.

Tennessee Journalism.
BY MARK TWAIN.
lie was gone. I shuddered. At tho end
of the next three hours f had been through
perils so awful that nil peace of inind and all
cheerfulness had gone from me. Gillespie
had called and thrown me out of the window.
Jones arrived promptly, and when I got ready
to do tho cowhiding, ho took the job off my
hands. lo an cneountor with a stranger, not
in the bill of fare, I lost my scalp. Another
stranger, by tho natiio of Thomson, left me a
mere wreck and ruin of chaotic rags. And
at last, at bay in n corner, and beset hy an
infuriated mob of editors, blacklegs, politicians
and desporadees, who raved and swore and
flourished their weapons about my head till
the air shimmered with glancing flushes of
steel, I was iu the act of resigning my berth
on the paper when the chief arrived, and with
him a l-ahblc of charmed and enthusiastic
friends. Then ensued a scene of riot and car
nage such as no human pen, or steel one could
dLscwbc, People were shot, probed, dismem
bered, blown up, thrown out of the window.
There was « brief tornado of murky blasphe
my, with a confused and frantic war dance
glimmering through it, and then all was over.
In five minutes there was silence, and the gory
chief and I sat alone and surveyed the sangui
nary ruin that strewed tho floor around us.
He said :
“You'll like this place when you get used
to it," I said,-
“I’ll have to get you to excuse me. I think
may be I might write to suit you after a while,
as soon as I had some practice and learnt the
language—l am confident I could. But to
speak the plain trnth, that sort of energy of
expression has its inconveniences, and a man
is liable to interruption. You see that your
self. Vigorous writing is calculated to elevate
the public, no doubt, but then I do not like to
attract so much attc.n'tion as it calls forth. I
can't write with comfort when I am interrupt
ed so much as I have been to day, I like the
berth well enough, but I don't like to be left
here to wait on the customers. The experien
ces are novel, I grant you, and entertaining,
too, after a fashion, but they are not judicious
ly distributed. A gentleman shoots at you
through the window and cripples me ; a bomb
shell comes down the stove pipe for your grat
ification, and sends the stove door down my
throat; ft friend drops in to swap compliments
with you, and freckles me with bullet holes
till my skin won’t hold my principles ; you go
1 1 dinner and Jones comes with his cowhide,
and Gillespie throws me out at the window. —
Thompson tears all my clothes off, and an
entire strangor takes iny scalp with the easy
freedom of an old acquintance ; and in less
than five minutes all the blackguards in the
country arrive in their war paint and proceed
to scare too rest of me to death with toma
hawks. Take if altogether, I never have had
such a spirited time in all my life ns I have
had to-day. No. I like you, and I like your
Calm, unruffled way iff explaining things to
the customers, but you see I am not used to
it. The Southern heart is too impulsive—
Southern hospitality is too lavish with the
stranger. The paragraphs which I have writ
ten to day, and into whose cold sentences
your masterly hand has infused the fervent
spirit of Tennessee journalism, will wake up
another nest of hornets. All that mob of ed
itors will come hungry, too, and want some
body for breakfast. I shall have to bid you
adieu. I decline to be present at these festiv
ities. I came South for my health. I will go
back on thr same errand, and suddenly. Ten
nessee journalism is too stirring for me.” Af
ter which we parted with mutual regret, and
I took apartments at the hospital.
Death.
llow is it that having once looked on death,
wo can for a moment forget it? How can we
co back to our hopes, dreams and labors, when
we bare understcod that they must all end
here, that the most loving eyes must be closed
thus, the busiest hands so crossed upon the
breast—the greatest mind become a blank, and
human beauty turn in a few hours to a thing
of horror? Why does not this phantom
Death 6tand beside the altar, and say to the
bride and bridegroom, “Why love when there
must come a bitter parting for you ere long ?’’
Why wed when the very wedding hour hur
ries you nearer to the grave as it passes by ?
How can the mother forget it, when her
baby lies on her breast, and not say to her
self, “I have only brought into this world an
other tiling to die.” Why do wo not see the
ghastly skeleton at our feast* ; see him in our
streets ; hear him in our songs ; and be so bit
terly oppressed by his inevitable coming as to
lose all hope, and sit in dust bewailing the fate
of man, who, do wlmt he may, can only live to
die?
Greatest of all mysteries, is it, that wo can
go about forgetting, or seeming to forget this
thing. Nor could we, so it seems to us—but
for that inward consciousness of a life beyond
that of this world, greater and bettor, where
the spirit shall take up its work again and we
shall learn as we never can on earth, why wo
have lived here.
Came Back to Georgia.— One day last week
we met Mr. Turner and his wife, who
stated they had just returned from Illinois.
They lmd gone there from Columbus, where
they had resided for years, to better their for
tunes. They could inako more money they
said, but tho cold was too violent—it had near
| ly frozen them—and they had returned to
1 Georgia to live and die, where they c-uu’J oc,
j oasionally draw a warm breath.—Columbus

Preachers and Editors!
Tho vocations of pneachoi * and editors aro
not altogether dissimilar. Both are teachers,
and their success depends upon the life and
vigor they can throw into their work. A dull
plodding, monotonous proacher can no more
succocd than a dull, plodding, monotonous
editor can. We often hear the preacher
complain bocausi his congregations are
as thin as his sermons, and theoditor
complain because the public don’t appre
ciate his dry and uninteresting paper,
when they both aro tho sole causo, in each case
of their failuro. A lively, earnest, sensible
and practical preacher always has good con
gregations and attentive listeners. A spirited
wide-awake paper always has subscribers and
interested readers.
This is a moving, advancing age. We don’t
travel by slow stage coaches. Business is
done by the electric telegraph and all gigantic
movements arc propelled hy steam. People
think rapidly. The blind rests upon an
object here now, and then it is upon something
elsewhere. The plodding man is left behind to
study the "situation” of the past, and to dream
ever things forgotten, and the moving world
don’t stop to linger with him. If thr preacher
and the editor succeed they must work, and
constantly, fervently and energetically. They
must throw life, vigor and animation into their
thoughts and expression*. When they do
this, the preacher’s congregations will bo large
and the editor’s subscription lists will be
long. Dull and prosy preachers and editors
must consent to frol thcirfselvetf “played out”
gentlemen, living over again the ages past.—

A Jl'st Tribute from a Foe. —The follow
ing from the address of Gov. ChamhCrlain,' at
the late reunion of the Army of the Potomac,
in New York, is both true and just to those
“who fought nobly and well.” Alluding to
the ‘ragged rebels’ who stood at Manassas, at
Chancellorsville and Petersburg, the Governor
says:
“Tlint army of Northern Virginia! Who
can help looking back upon them with feelings
half fraternal ? Ragged and reckless, yet
careful to keep their bayoaets bright and lines
of battle well dressed ; reduced to dire ex
tremities sometimes, yet always ready for a
fight; rough and rude, yot knowing well how
to make afield illustrious.
“Who can forget them—the brave, bronzed
faces that looked at us for four years across
the flaming pit—men with whom in a hundred
fierce grapples we fought with remorseless
desperation and all tho terrible energy of
death, till on the one side and the other a
quarter of a million fell, and yet we never
hated except that they struck at the old
flag?’’
Table. — The following tabic we find in an
exchange. We think it will be found to be
useful in explaining the relative value of many
indefinite terms which have become “as com
mon as pig tracks.” We can see no propriety
in it as it is perfectly useless to employ so
man y terms unless thoro is some value attached.

Jefferson Davis, said to his admirers who
called on him in Baltimore, that he had no in
terest whatever in political affairs, and shall
decline all conversation in reference thereto,
during his trip to Mississippi. lie is said to
have expressed the hope that the liberal Con
servative Republicans of tho South and tho
Democrats of the North, would succeed in tho
fall elections. Ilis estimate of parties is that
the Northern Democrats represent what is left
of the principles of self-government, while tho
Conservative Republicans South represent all
that is left of the principle in that section.

Remarkable Dreams. —A school master was
very partial to one of his pupils, and very se
vere to another. One day they both were
tardy. Ho called them up to tho floor.
“James, my boy.” said ho t# his favorite,
regretfully, but kindly, ‘why wero you so
late?’
‘You sec, sir,’ replied James, ‘I was asleep,
sir, and dreamed I was going to California ;
and thought the school bell was the bell of
the steam boat.’
‘That will do, my boy,' said tho teacher,
glad of any excuse to shield him: ‘Always,
tell the truth, my boy.’
‘And now sir,’ said he sternly to the other,
‘where were you ?’
‘You see, sir,’ replied the urchin, candidly,
‘I was waiting to see Jim off.’

his cane on the floor and exclaimed : “Terri

VOL. 4 NO. 49
Cigar Etiquette. ,
Tho New Orleans Picayuno in an o-nay ort
cigar otiquetto, says : Sinco tho war the people
of the United States have taken to smoking a
great deal. In tho Northern States, whoro nno,
cigar wai smoked ten years ago, twenty are
made way with just now.
It is only in Havana though that tho cus
tom is a universal one. There young anil old
indulge freely in the use of the weed, dividing
their attention pretty evenly between the cigar
and the cigarette. Even the ladies of the bcfr\
ter class, in many instances indulge, though
not to so great an extent as is commonly re
ported. Tho negroes cannot work at all with
out thoir quota of cigars; and looking out of
the window of a room in that magnificent
hotel, tho El Telografo, we remember to have
caught a glimpse more than once of tho negro
women at work in tho laundry, every one of
whom held a long nine in her mouth, and puff
ing incessantly ns the clothes wero being man
ipulated upon tho washboards.
In Havana, as throughout Cuba, there is a
cigar etiquette, to infringe any of the rules ot
which is construed as an insult. It is, for ins
stance, considered a broach of etiquette when
you are asked for a light to hand your cigar
without first knocking off the ashes. A greater
breach, however, is t > pass tho cigar handed
to you to obtain a light from, to a third party
for a siiUilaT 1 ' purpose ; tho rule is to hand back
the cigar tvith as graceful a wave as you can
command, and then, if necessary, pass your
own cigar to a third party.
Tho insult direct in cigar etiquette is for the
party to whom you apply for a light to pass
on and leave you with the remains of his cigar
or to intimate to you, by word or action, thaf
he ha* no further use for it, and that you can
throw it away.
In Cuba, whore cigars are plenty, tho usual
custom is, when you ask for a light, oven if
the party be a stranger, to poll out your caso
and offer him a cigar, by way of recognizing
the civility in stopping to accommodate you.
The Spaniards aro naturally a polite people,
and ‘he stranger stepping into the Louvre and ,
other public places of resort in Havana is
struck at once with tho marked contrast ia
this respect to similar gatherings elsewhere.
Never Raise a Child by Hand or Wrist,-
It is a common practice of nurses and pa
rents to grasp children by a single hand or
wrist, and lift them bodily, as irt stepping over
gutters, streams, etc. Occasionally a oh’l l is
seized by the hands and swung arouu 1 with
great force, the body being bold nearly at
right anglos. This feat is not always followed’,
by immediate ill effects, but it is liable to result
in a most BCrious injury. At this period of
life the ends of tho long bones aro united to
the shafts by cartilage, which renders them
weak and liable to bo distorted by force.—
There are three of these bones in the arm ;
one between the shoulder snd elbow, and two
between the elbow and wrist. Tho arm of tho
child is, therefore, very weak. When exten
sion is made at the hand, the force is not ex
pended upon long firm bones, but rather upon
bones broken at several points and very loosely
united. A small force, far less than is required
to fracture a fully formed bone, will separate
the cartilaginous portions or permanently bend
them. There is also another form of injury
which may occur at tho instant. Os this I
have seen several examples. It consists in a
slight displacemont of the cartilages on one of
the joints, either the wrist or elbow, attended
by pain, swelling and tenderness. Tho joint*
is fixed in a semi-flexed position, and the little
sufferer will not allow it to be moved or handled.
It can bo easily rectified by a surgeon, by for
cible flexion and extension. Finally, by- lift
ing a child in this manner, the ligaments about
the joints may be extended, and this will weak
en the joints, and this weakness may remain
as a permonont disability. So says an emment
physician.
Everything in its Place.
It is one very essential point to have a plaeo
for everything. Tho next point is to keep
everything in place. llow shall wo do it.—
We have hired men anil boys ; they all leave
things where they use them. Wo tell them to
put things in place, hilt they won’t do it. Sup
pose you are a carpenter hy trade, y*>u go to
your shop to work ; the fir-t thing yon want
s the handsaw; it can’t ba' found. You go
to the house and at last you find it hanging on
the apple tree, where you had it to saw off a
limb, when you were plowing corn.
The next thing looked for is an auger,—
That is gone. The hammer is gone. At last
you find it on a fence post and say, ‘I loft it
there when I nailed on that board. I went to
put up the bars and came back and forgot it.’
If we follow the example of a gentleman
whom I worked for in New Hampshire when
I was quite young, we will have no trouble in
finding whatever tool we want. I went thero
Monday morning to commence work. He said :
You may go with mo and we’ll look around a
fittle whilst breakfast is being prepared.’ We
went to an out houso, and thero were his far
ming tools all in place. We went to the wagon
house. Everything was there pertaining to or
used about wagons or carriages. Wo found a
place for everything and everything in place.
He told me, ‘when you have dono using any
tool, put it in place before you do anything
more.’
Whilst working for him he told me to go
and cut a tree out of the road about eighty
rods distant and then go and get his chain at
the blacksmith simp. I said to him, ‘shall I
leave the ax there until I eoiuo back with the
chain V ‘No,’ said Do, ‘first put the ax in
place, and then go and get the chain.’ If ev
ery one would adopt ;ho same principle 'it
would save a .great deal of and
• time. J>. B
