HOPE.
Never despair: the darkest cloud
That ever loomed, will pass away.
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.

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.

Giants in Olden Times.
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. For instance, the following
epitaph:
“Erected to the memory of John Phil
lips, accidently shot as a mark of affec
tion by his brother."
