And as I sat upon a summit and viewed the beautiful landscape that lay stretched out before me, and listened to the sweet music of the feathered throng, and the rippling rivulets as they wound their way down the mountain slope, sleep insensibly JeU upon me. Whilst thus reposing I heard the sound of many voices on my left. I looked, and behold I saw a vast multitude moving from the north to southward -ail was clam¬ orous, boisterous, and in great confu¬ sion. In front of this van was a beau¬ tiful spear. It was beautiful to look upon, for its brightness and dazzling appearance as the resplendant rays of the noonday sun lighted upon it. Next to this beautiful spear came some old butcher-knives and jack knives, Which seemed almost in con¬ tact with the spear, they kept so close to it. Next in the van came a large crowd of barlows, which was followed hy a few old men in Iheir dotage; As i sat and viewed with wonder and surprise this mixed mul¬ titude, I beard the voices as it were of many waters. I looked to my right and saw avast multitude,which no man could number, moving in perfect harmony and order, with nothing to disturb their quiet march save clamor of the spearites. In front* and leading this mighty army or ooneonrse of people was the most beautiful bell that my eyes ever be¬ held ; it was without spot or blemish and its tones were sweet and musical) even the enemies of the bell could but admire it for its purity, bright¬ ness and usefulness. I sat and watch pd these two mighty armies till the ■ sun shed its last rays upon the tow¬ ering forest and hid itself behind the western hills. Night soon came on and the spear that had shown so beautifully bright at noonday had lest ftHJts brightness and no. longer afforded or furnished a beacon of light to guide it 6 followers, but was itself in dargness, groping its way as best it could without one ray of light to guide its footsteps. When all at once it made a misstep and stove it¬ self deep in the earth, to deep that atl its followers were utterly unable to extricate it from the dilemma into which it had fallen, and I heard a voice saying- i doubt if there oould CARNESV1LLE, * GA. ) 7 ( W S PQ a P3 ' • be such a thing as a political resurs rection his case could o^er bo reach¬ ed.' What now is to be done was the the cry of those that followed this last and lamented spear, that we with safety may make good our escape there was no gaide, no light, no mu¬ sic by the soun which they could be kept toget After diligent search, however, at last they found an old tin horn, but not having been used since the close of the war if had become cankered and rust-eaten and wouldn't blow worth a cent. Just at this critical juncture tho beautiful bell I had seen at noonday corax menced tolling, the old men all arose :: &at$£tae&e suiting their actions to their words started instantly and reached the bell, camp in safety and was joyfully re¬ ceived and welcomed back. The butcher-knives still lingered near the spot where lie ontombed the lamented spear, but not having cut up any dead men nor drank any blood since a short time before the war had become rusty and stale and afforded no light by which to make good their escape. The Barlows commenced scattering, some went one way* and some another. And I heard a voice saying, “let them go they can’t cut worth a cent no how.” Last of all came the jack-knives, af¬ ter dropping a tear of sorrow and pity upon the self-made grave of the lamented spear as the last tribute of respect, and after consultation and due deliberation started for the bell camp, to which they in darkness groped their^way where they found Joel A. Billups perched upon the flagstaff of glorious and triumphant democracy. They came to the door and knocked, and lo and behold I heard a voice from within, saying, “Wo unto you jack-knives, you could not get in yourselves but tried to hinder those Who were worthy and well qualified from getting in; de¬ part from me ye workers of iniquity > | know ye not, into everlasting pun¬ ishment prepared for the devil and the Radicals/* Flintsville. A gentleman was sitting at a din¬ ner party next to a beautiful lady, whose dress was what the French call very decollete, which means, 1 believe, very beautiful. A footman was handing round the ice, the lady was leaning forward, but as the foot¬ man passed, leaned suddenly back and struck his hand holding the dish. The spoon holding a lamp of ice, fell down her bosom inside her beautfui or decollete dress! What was the gentleman to do? I ask for no answer and am trying to forget the case. . BEAUTIFUL HANDS. As a young friend was standing with us noticing the people on the sidewalk, a very beautiful stylish young lady passed, “What jbeautiiul hands Miss—-has K exclaimed o?r friend. “What makes them beautiful. « “Why, they are small, white, soft and exquisitively shaped.” “Is that all that Constitutes the beauty of the hand ?~Ms not some¬ thing more to be included in your cat¬ alogue of beauty, which you have not mentioned, to make the band desira “What more would nUVlf&SidtrT you have ? '“A re ffigy gfiS they ever fed the poor? Hav.e they ever carried the necessities of life to the widow and orphan ? Have their soft touch ever smoothed the irritation of sickness and the agonies of pain? Do the poor bless those ro¬ sy-tipped fingers, as their wants are supplied by them? “Are they useful hands ? Have they been taught that this world is not a playing ground or a theatre of display or a mero lounging place ? Do these delicate hands ever labor? Are they ever employed about the domestic duties of life—the homely, ordinary employments of the household ? Or does the owner leave all that to her mother, while she nurses her delicate . hands in idleness ? “Are they modest hands? Will they perform their charities or their duties without vanity? Or do they pander to .the pride of their owner by their delicacy and beauty ? Does she think more of their display than the improvements of her mind and char¬ acter, and the salvation of her soul ? “Are they humble bands ? will their owner extend them to grasp the hand of that old school¬ fellow who sat at the samo desk with her and on the recitation bench, but who now must earn her living by her labor ? Or will they remain concealed in their exclusiveness, in her aristos eralic muff, as she sweeps by her for¬ mer companions? “Are they holy hands ? Are they ever clasped m prayer, or elevated m prayer? Does she remember the God who has made her to differ from so many other girls, and devote her mind, her heart, her hands to His service? Does she try to imitate the Savior by going about doing good ? Or are her bands too delicate, too beautiful to be employed in good works ? These are the qualities make a hand beautiful.”— Guardian Angel. Sbricg, gendle sbriog has com and gonod—Ah-feer chewj ; ‘is ttiC A New Stove. ■* A fat citizen, having in view the purchase of a new coal stoVe, was yesterday standing in front of a hard ward store, when a newsboy halted and respectfully said: “I s*pose you've seen the new stove —the one that beau'em all" “I don’t know that! have," was the calm reply. “You orter see it, sir. They are alius talkin' about these coal stoves which save ten per cent, of fuel, and now they’ve got one.” “Have, eh?” “Yes’r, I saw this one bate going the other day, hot ’nuff to an ox, an didn’t bum anjy ^oaL^at all-not even a pound/’ “Is that possible! Why, I never heard of such a thing! Didn’t burn any coal at all ?” “Not an otince, and It was throw ing out an awful heat/’ “Well, that beats me. 1 don’t see how they got the heat.” “They burned wood, sir!»’ was the humble reply.

It is vulgar. Inform him that you are bes ing deprived of tbe saline oleaginous fluids of yonr material substance through the excretorics of your pel¬ lucid cuticle with a sensible conden¬ sation of moisture upon tbe superfi¬ cial exterior.—Ex. When riding on the cars, if cinders annoy you, persuade your neighbor next in front to close his window; that is where they enter. Yon may keep yonr own window open with impunity, unless your neighbor be¬ hind is a bigger man and compels you to close it. At bed time little Willie was say¬ ing his nsnal prayer on bis mother’s knee, and having got as far as “If I should die before I wake,” hesitated. “Well, wbat next,” asked bis mother. “Well, I s’pose the next thing would be a funeral.” Yellow fever can perhaps be dis¬ seminated through the mails, but we aren’t going to see any southern na¬ tional bank bill wandering around this neighborhood in search of lodgings. A WEARY SINNER. Tired . ,«!!).•» A prominent citizen was observed yesterday afternoon oboatone o’clock sitting on a beer keg in front of a , leading saloon, apparently exhausted , to the last degree. Another p. c. happened along and with considers* hie concern asked what was the mat* ter. “I’ve been to church,” sighed tho weary one. . “No l" loD i t a - “Fact; first time in eight years though.
