Once in Pcrs’a reigned a king, Who upon his sign a ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which, if held before his eyes, Gave him counsel at a glance, Fit for every change and chance; Solemn 'voids, and these are they : “Even this shall pass away !” Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarkand ; Fleets ot galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to match with these. But he counted not, as gain Treasures of the mine cr main, “Whit is wealth ?” the king would say, “Even this shall pass awry.” In the revels of his court, At the zenith of the sport. When the palms of all his guests, Burned with clapping at his jests, He, amid his figs and wine, Cried, “O, loving friend of mine ! Pleasure comes, but not to stay : ‘Even this shll pass away.’ ” Lady fairest ever seen Chose be tor his bride and queen, Couched upon the marriage bed, Whispering to his soul, he said : “Though a bride groom never pressed Dearer bosom to bis breast, Mortal flesh must come to clay: ‘Even this shall pass away ’ ” Fighting on a furious field, Once a javelin pierced his shield. Soldiers with a loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent. Groaning from hie tortured side, “Pain is hard to bear,” he cried ; “But with patience Gay by day, ‘Even this shall pass away.’ ” Towering in the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose and statue carved in stone. Then the king, disguised, unknown, Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly, “What is fame ? Fame is but a slow decay : ‘Even this shall pa.?s away.’ ” Struck with palsy, sere and old, Wailing at tue gates of Gold, SpiiKehe with his dying breath, “Lite is done, but what is death ?” Then in answer to the king Fell a sunbeam on his ring, Showing by a heavenly ray— “ Even this shall pass away.” A Singular Adventure. A great number of persons who knew the celebrated Dr. Burton, have often heard him relate the following anecdote: One day he had procured the bodies of two criminals who had been hung, for the pui pose of anatomy; not being able to find the key of the dessecting room, he or dered them to be deposited in an apartment ■ onliguous to his bed room. During the evening he read and wrote late. The clock had just struck one, when all at ouce a dull sound proceeded from the room contain ing the bodies, and the doctor went to see what could be the cause ofthe unexpected noise. What was his astonishment, or rath er his horror on discovering that the sack which contained the bodies was torn asun der, and that one ot them was sitting up right in the corner? Poor Dr. Burton, at this unexpeted appa rition, became transfixed with terror, which was increasing by observing the dead and sunken eyes of the corpse fixed upon him, whichever way he moved. The worthy | doctor, more dead than alive, now began to | beat a quick reheat, without, however, los ing sight of the object of his terror. But the spectre had arisen and followed him ; his strength fails, the caudle falls from his hand, and he is now in complete darkness. The good doctor has, however, gained his apartment, and thrown himself on his bed ; but the tearful spectre bas still follow ed him ; it has caught him and seized hold of his feet with both hands. At this cli max of terror the doctor loudly exclaimed : ‘Whoever you are, leave me!’ Al this the spectre let go his hold, and moaned feebly these words: ‘Pity, good hangman! have pity on me! The doctor now discovered the mystery, and regained, lilt’e by little, bis composure. He explainer] to the criminal who had so narrowly escaped death, who be was, and prepared to call up some of bis family. ‘Do you, then, wish to destroy me?, ex claimed the criminal. ‘lf lam discovered, my adventure will become public, and 1 shall be brought to the scaffold a second time, hi the name ot humanity save me from death !’ The good doctor then rose and procured a light. He muffled his unexpected visitor in an old dressing gown, and having made him take restoring cordial, desired to know what crime had brought him to the scaffold He was banged tor high treason. The good doctor did not well know what means to employ to save the poor creature. He could not keep him in his house, and to turn him out would be to expose him to ceitnin death. The only wav, then, was to get into the country ; so having made him dress himself in some old clothes which the kind doctor selected from bis wardrobe, be left early, accompanied by his protege, w hom he represented as an assistant When they haul got into the open coun try, the wretched creature threw himself at the feet of his benefactor and liberator, to whom he swore an eternal gratitude; and ! the generous ductor having received LL CANTOX, CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1876. Virtue and Intelligence—*The Safeguards of Liberty. wants by a small sum of money, the grate ful creature left him, with many prayers foi his happiness. About twelve years after this occurrence, Dr. Burton had occasion to visit Amster dam. Having gone, one day, to the bank he was accosted by a well-dressed man one who had been pointed out to him as one of the most opulent merchants of the city. The merchant asked him politely it he were not Dr. Burton, of London; and on his answering in the affirmative, pressed him to dine at his house, which invitation the doctor accepted. On arriving at the merchant’s house, he was shown into an elegant apartment, where a most charming woman and two lovely children welcomed him in the most friendly manner, which re ception surprised him the more, coming from persons he had never before met. /After dinner, the merchant having taken him into his counting-house, seized his hand and having pressed it with friendly warmth’ said to him : ‘Do you not recollect me!’ ‘No,’ said the doctor. ‘Well, then, I remember you well, and your features will never be obllberated from memory, for to you I owe my life. Do you not remember the poor fellow who was hanged on a charged of conspiracy lor the dethronement of the King—for high treason, in fact? On leaving you 1 went to Holland. Writing a good hand, and be ing also a good accountant, I soon obtained a situation as a clerk in a merchant’s office. My good conduct and zeal soon gained inc the confidence of my employer, and the affections of bis daughter. When he retir ed from business I succeeded him and be came his sou-in-law ; but without you, without your care, without your generous assistance, I should not have lived to en joy so much happiness. Generous man! consider henceforth, iny house, my fortune and myself, as wholly yours.’ The kind doctor was even effected to tears ; and Doth these happy beings partici pated in the most delightful expressions of their feelings which were soon shared by' the merthant’s interesting family, who came to join them. Crime in the United States. It bas been estimated by Mr. G. Angell, of Massachusetts, that the annual cost of crime in this country is two hundred mil lions of dollars. It has more than doubled m the past ten years. Crime in Massachu setts is thirty-three per cent, greatei than in Ireland ; and the great question now for all good citizens is, how are we going to stop this increase of crime ? The educa tion ofthe intellect will not doit; the church can not stop it. for not half the peo ple of the United States ever go to church. The Sunday schools can not stop it. There are only two remedies: One is to multiply jails, police courts, judges, penitentiaries, constabulary, etc., and the other, in the words ot Dr. Holland : “If you want to stop rascals, you must .-top raising them.” The columns of the newspapers will not cease to be filled with 'he records of crime and misery while thousand of children are allowed to grow up without moral, religious or mental education, and the only way to reach these children is through the public schools. For the safety of republican institutions we need in our public school education the teaching of the higher truths of libgion. One of the best ways to reach the hearts of children and ennoble them, is to teach them kindness to animals. Every step tak en in this direction promotes an education which elevates human souls and prepares the way for Him who came preaching “Peace on earth, good will to men." I beleive we sho.itld begin to talk in our schools about G»hl and humanity, and then the teacher's profession will be the noblest in the land.—[New York Observer. tJT" Robert Lincoln, only surviog son of the late President Lincoln, and W.

How the Sioux War AYas Brought On. The case of the government and the Sioux Indians, says the Courier Journal, appears to be as free from obscurity as it possibly can be. In 18(58 a treaty was made with the Sioux setting apart a reservation of 25,000,- 000 acres of land, which includes the Black Hills. It stipulated that “nd white person or persons shall be permitted to settle upon or occupy any portion ofthe country north ofthe Platte river and east of the summits ofthe Big Horn .Mountains without the consentofthe Indians, first haJ, and obtain ed to pass through the same.” The Sioux agreed on their part to withdraw their opposition to the building of railroads out side of their reservation. They agreed not to attack persons traveling out side of their reservation, and relinquished the right to occupy permanently the outside country re tainlng the right to hunt on any land north of the North Platte, and on the Rep ib’.ican Fork of the Smoky Hill river. The United States agreed that the limits desetibed shoulq be held as ‘unccdcd Indian territory.” This treaty was signed by Gen. Sherman, Spotted Tail and a large number ofthe Sioux chiefs- The Indians observed their part of the trea ty by withdrawing their opposition to the railroad and remaining on their reservation, which fact is stated in the Indian Commis 'sionpi’s report for 187-1. The United States, however, did permit and encourage white men not only to pass through the reserva tion set apart by the treaty of 1868, bul sent aii army to punish the Indians for re sisling the open violation of the treaty on the part of the government. This is the Indian policy of Gen. Grant’s adminbtra tiyrj, and it is in keeping with its other pe culiar policies. Odds and Ends.

A few nights ago, as a young man stood in the gospel tent busily taking notes, Dr. Tyng came up. anil laying his hand up on the other’s shoulder, suddenly asked, “My friend are you a Christian ?” “No sir,” answered the startled note taker, “ I’m—l’m only a reporter.” £3?“ It not work that kills men, it is worry.
