The longest night will yield to dawn, And dawn it 1 kindle into day. What if around thy lonely bark Break fierce and high the waves.'of sorrow. Stretch every oar 1 there's land ahead, And thou will gain the-port to-morrow. When fortune frowns ard summer friends, Like birds that fear a storm, depart, Some, if the breast hnro tropic warmth, will stay and nestle 'round thy heart. If thou art poor, no joy is won, No good is gained by sad repining; Homs buried in the darkened earth. May yet be gathered for the mining. There is no lot, however sad, There is no roof however low. But has some joy to make it glad. Seme latent bliss to soothe its woe. The light of hope will linger near, When wildest beats the heart’s emotion A talisman, when breakers roar, A star upon the troubled ocean. The farmer knows not if his fields, With flood or drought, or blight must cope ; 116 questions not the fickle skies, But plows, and sows and toils in hope. 'Then up and strive, and dare and do, Nor doubt a harvest thou wilt gather; Tis time to labor and to wait. And trust in god for genial weather. HIS USEFUL LIFE ENDED. THE PEACEFULLY QUIET DEATH OF SPEAKER MI CHAEL C. KEItR. A Sad Scene in a Little Hill-Sur rounded Hamlet of West Vir ginia—A Father’s Dying Coun sel to His Son—Tenacity to Life that Astonished the Patient’s Physician. Washington, Aug. 20.— The account ol the last hours of Speaker Kerr are graphically described by his clerk, who had known him intimately at his home in New Albany, and who was with him every hour while he performed the duties of Speaker. Writing from Rock Alum Springs he snys j The Speaker died at 7:20 r. it. to-day, peacefully nnd quietly. All day he had suffered intensely from pains in the blad der and urethra, and at tunes coniplieed ut ouuvlv-aiiUil. A IttJ UliiiUUiij iu >/> viv.. ing lasted nearly up to the hour of his death. About a quarter past 7be seem ed to become easier, and his breathing grew soft and natural, and the respira tions were of the ordinary length. Dr, Pope was at the time conversing with Mr. Kerr, no oilier persons being in the room except Andy, a colored servant of Mr. Kerr’s, who had been at his side night and day since his arrival here. The physician noticing the change in Mr. Kerr’s breathing, asked him whether he felt easier, to which Mr. Kerr respon ded by a nod, at the same time fixing his bright eyes on the questioner. In an other moment the intelligent glance changed to a dull, cold snare, the breath ing stopped, and Michael C. Kerr was dead. For thirty-six hours this event had ieen momentarily expected. For that engtb of time he had frequently recur ring paroxyms of pain of the most ex* cruciating kind. Latterly this pain be came so great that moans could be heard in the adjoining rooms. This difficulty Dr, Pope explains by saying that the intestines have been almost 'entirely wasted away. Indeed, the abdomen rests flat on the backbone, the entire thickness through that part of the body not being more than two inches. The anodynes prescribed by Dr. Pope had scarcely the effect to materilly mitigate the sufferings of Mr. Kerr, who often begged that some opiate might be given him by which he might be able to die in peace. On Wednesday night he rested well, or at least suffered little pain, but last night he scarcely closed his eyes. Shortly after midnight, however, he dropped into a quiet sleep. About 2 o’clock he awakened in a great iright, and staring wildly at bis attendant, whis pered huskily, “What is the matter with me 7 Oh, God ! lam suffocating.” The physician and family were at once sum moned. and everything medical skill and the sympathy of his loving aDd devoted friends could suggest was done. From that time he seemed to be marked by the hand of death. His shortness of breath continued without intermission, alterna ting with frequent paroxysms of suffoca tion. Several of these during the alter noon were expected to be final, and his friends were constantly by bis bedside. Among those were the Hon. S. S. Cox of New York, the Hon. Mr. Blair, the ltev. Mr. Harris, President of the Female Seminary at Staunton, this State, Mrs. Kerr and her son, and Mr. Kerr s two secretaries. When the summons came they were out of the room. The tenacity with which Mr. Kerr CONYERS, GA., AUGUST 31, 1876. | 011 continues to be n surprise |to every one here. For more than an ! hour before his death his extremities were as cold as marble. Ilia pulse in wrist aud arm had entirely ceased to heats, and it was ditlicult to detect at that time the faintest flutter of the heart. St 1, startling as it may ’seem, he was evou then able to raise his hands to his head, and at the request of Dr. Pope clasped the baud of your corresnondeut with a tight grip. “Never in all my experience, ’’ said Dr. I ope, “have I seen such a phenomenon. When a man’s pulses censes to beat he usually dies ; but Mr. Kerr can lift his aims and his legs and talk at times in a loud voice.’ Where the mysterious strength, the wonderful tenaoity, came from, is a problem for the savants to solve. Hundreds of sympathetic messages are hourly received by the stricken family trom all parts of the country containing tenders or aid and condolence. One ot the saddest features of this melancholy death is the isolation of the place from thg rest of the world and the difficulty of communicating with the outside. It is neoessary to send to Staunton, forty miles distant, for a coffin, and to Wash, ington for a funerel escort. The route to New Albany, Ind. Mr. Kerr’s home, is a long and circuitous one, over bad roads, with wretched accommodations. Mrs. Kerr and son are worn out with watching and intense grief, and it is ouly humanity to them to relieve them of all care and necessary trouble. The body will be placed in its.coffin to,morrow, and on Monday morning it is to start home via Huntington, West Va. Mr. Kerr journeyed to the Alum Springs in the lat er part of June, ho ping to derive some benefit from the use of the waters. He was much broken down in body and spirit. The Harney investigation was over, and the House had unanimously adopted a resolution exonerating their Speaker from all wrong doing. The country called it a magnifi cent vindication, and so it was; but it came too late to save the life of the no shaft'SF calumuoy fiaiftJeen aimed, fli tried hard to rally, but in vain, Tlte iron had penetrated his soul, and death had set his seal upon a noble brow. The Alum Springs are situated in a charming little park enclosed o all sides by hfeh mountains locally known as the North Mountains, but really a portion of the Blue Ridge, The nearest railroad station is Millbord, five miles, but tour ists from the north and east alight at Goshen, and take a stage ride of eight miles. There is absolutely nothing here but mountains and Alum water. One can navel miles without meeting a hu man habitation un’ess it is the hut of the old hunter and half farmer, who between his gun and his corn patch ekes oat a living. Still the scenery is grand, the air is pure and bracing, the mountains are covered with luxuriant forests, and the most profound quiet reigns over all. Forty years ago an adventurous specula* tor laid out these grounds. The springs had been known to the hunters and In dians doubtless fiorn time immemorial. For many years it was one of the chief summer resorts of the Southern people of wealth and fashion. The waters burst from the base of a cliff of shales several hundred feet in height. These springs are five in number. The strength of the waters varies from mild No. 1 to very strong No. 5. A chemical analysis shows the waters to contain iron per sulphate, aluminum, magnesia, free sul phuric acid, silicic acid, and a number of other ingredients. The taste is highly acid with a stroug flavor of alum by no means unpleasant. Visitors usually like it at the start, and in their zeal to profit by its healing virtues, drink too freely. This was Mr. Kerr’s misfortune. Under the direction of the resident physician, Dr, Davis, he began in light doses, but rapidly increased the quautity. For a time he seemed to gain strength and spirits, and was able to take daily drives with Mr&. Kerr. Ho was able to prom enade the long verandas of the hotel, and could even walk down stairs without assistance. Suddenly the waler produ ced a return of the violent diarrhoea which Mr. Kerr had suffered in Wash ington. And from this relapse he did not recover. For a long time Mr. Kerr had been satisfied that his end was near. To friends who sought to cheer bins by professing to see in his looks change for the better, he simply replied: “No, lam no better ; lam worse. lam not get ting well.’| So important was truth held to be by him that he never allowed him., self to indulge in the exaggerated flat teries and adulations so common to most people. He bad been called an austere man. Nothing can bo further from the truth. His affections wote always strong and permanent. His sympathies were were wady and powerful. In his law pi notice he made it a rule to remit the charges for services rondcrod needy persons, and many a widow to-day bless es his name for his kindness, nml thous ands ot dollars in fees remain on his books. One of his last injunctions to his son was that those books must bo closed to the world. This sympathy for the possible suffering of others was striking ly shown while he was Speaker of the House last winter. He could never find it in his heart to turn away applicants for appoint meets, but invariably exerted himself, so far as he could in honor to further their causes. When the Legis lation bill came from the Committee on appropriations no one more deeply sym pathized with the unfortunate clerks than Mr. Kerr. The reductions of the sala ries of his own clerk aud secretary were a source of poignant grief to him. Mr. Kerr kept a daily journal for many jears ever after his boyhood in fact, and this priceless manuscript, together with his library and a large collection of lets ters he gave to his son with the injunc tion to make nothing public which by any possibility can reflect upon the honor of any of his correspondents. So meth odical was he that he even kept a current account of his daily expenses, omitting no detail, however trivial. Always the patron ot young men, he always exacted the condition of absolute honesty on the part of his proteges. An amusing, even touching instance has been related to me by young Mr. Kerr. Soon alter Mr. Kerr came here, he employed a colored boy to act. as his body servant at a stip. ulated sum a month. To test the integ rity ot the young man, he purposely withheld a portion of the monthly sti pend, and then inquired of Andy how much was still due him. The correct answer was given, and Mr. Kerr's eye* sparkled with delight as he remarked to his wife, “That hoy is honest.” A tew days before his death, Mr. Kerr bodvse oi xvurcn ii oialu-.* . uoDL ing to leave you, iny son, except my good name. Guard it and yom mother’s honor, and live as I have lived." He leaves very little of this world's goods— not enough to supply his family with a living. In the same conversation be further said : "Pay all my debts if my estate will warrant it without leaving your mother penniless; otherwise, pay what you can, aud then go to my credit ors and tell them the truth, and pledge your honor to wipe out the indebted ness." In religious mattetS Mr. Kerr was a liberal thinker. He might be said to have been a Rationalist, accepting noth ing which did not bear the impress of probability. Without admitting the di vinity of Jesus Christ, lie was an advo* ting of bis code of morals. To bo hon est and true and just was in his belief to be a good Christian. Early this ternoon he was visited by the Rev. Mr. Harris, President of the female seminary at Staunton, who, with a view to sound ing him as to his religious views, asked, “I hope you are prepared for a better life hereafter, Mr. Kerr t” The reply was a prompt inclination of the head in the affirmative. Again the minister asked, “I trust you have a firm faith in the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ TANARUS” After a moment’s hesitation, in which he seemed to be carefully weighing the question, Mr. Kerr shook his head slow ly. It was a fine distinction to make, and one worthy of the fine analytical inind which maintained the supremacy to the last. Finding that Speaker Kerr could not carry on a conversation, Mr. Harris promised to pray for him, to which Mr. Kerr whispered, “I thank you.” To Mr. Cox’s inquiry whether be was content to die, he noded a tranquil as sent. Thus passed away one of the best and purest men and one of the ablest and truest of American statesmen—a man whoso integrity was religion, and whose heritage to his descendents is his untar nislied honor. The news of the death of Speaker Kerr did not reach Washington until half past ten last night. A telegram sent by his attending physician, Dr. Pope, to bis wife, was the first intimation that the third officer under the Government was dead. Three Presidents have died, and death has vacated the office of Vice- President four times, but not before has a Speaker died. About him the charm ed circle of Republican government seemed to bavd drawn its line, so tbat^f twenty nine elected Speakers or the House of Representatives, from the days of Muhlenbnrg down to Kerr, there has not been a time when, in the event ot dentil of President of Vice Presidnnt ol the 1 nited -States, the Speaker would not have been, under the act ot March, 1792, the President. As it is, the death of Grant would make Senator Ferry President, and the death of both Grant and Ferry would the Chief Justice of the United States President pro tem , umll the people could till the office. Such are the questions asked by the peo ple, who have nothing to do with royal ty or succession, but who, nevertheless, cry “The king is dead I Long live the king!” As soon as the Clerk of the House heard of the death of Mr. Kerr he or dered a metallic casket, the same in de sign ns furnished for Vice President Wil son. To-night Clerk Adams and Con gressmen Saylor started for Rockbridge Alum Springs, where they will meet the escort already there. The President ot the Senate will accompany the remains to their last resting place. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. Evansville {lnd.)

The giant exhibited in Rouen in 1830 measured nearly eighteen feet, Jj Gorapins saw a girl that was ten feet high. % The giant Galabra, brought from Ara bia to Rome, uuder Claudius Cmsar. was ten feet high. Fannum, who lived in the time of Eu gene 11, measured eleven and a half feet. The Chevalier Sorogg, in his voyage to the Peak Teneriffe, found in one of his caverns of that mountain the head of the Gunich, who had sixty teeth, and was not lees than fifteen leet high. The giant Faragus, slain by Orlando, nephew of the Charlemagne, was twen ty-eight feet high. In lfil 4, near St. Genian, was found the tomb of the giant Isolent, who was not less thirty feet high. In 1590, near Rouen, was found a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who was nineteen feet high. The giant Bacart was twenty feet high } his thigh bones were found in 1703, near the River Moderi. In 1623, near the castle in Dauphine, a tomb was found thirty feet long, six teen wide, and eight high, on which was cut in gray stone these words : , “Keu tocochns Rex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty-five aud a fourth feet long, ten feet across the shoulders, and five feet from the breast bone to tho back. Near Pelermo, in Sicily, in 1516, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, and in 1559, another forty-four feet high. Near Magrino, in Sicily, in 1816, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, the head was the size of a hogs head, and each of his teeth weighed five ounces. We have no doubt that there were ‘•giants in those days,” and the past per haps was more prolific in producing them than the present. But the history of giants during olden time, was not more than that of dwarfs, some of whom were remarkable than that of dwai Is, some of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs and Nutts of our own time. The omission of a comma has fre quently given a very awkward turn to a sentence.
