Lines to Miss M. J.
Those eyes of jet how bright they shine,
Two stars were ne'er so bright;
They sparkle bright, would that those rays
Were tokens of pure love’s delight.
The ties of love which bind my heart
To thine, heaven knows are true—
They are known to Him who knows all life
And will through life endure.
Those smiles hofc sweet, would they were mine,
To cheer my life so drear—
Be greeted through this world of cares
By smiles from one so dear.
To kiss those lips, so pure, so sweet—•
O, heaven, where is thy bliss !
To sip from those sweet lips of thine,
Affections purest kiss.
“OTIS.”
SUNDAY READING.
“And there shall be no Night there.”
No night shall be in heaven ! no gathering gloom
Shall o’er that glorious landscape ever come ;
No tears shall fall in sadness o’er those flowers.
That breathe their fragrance through celestial
bowers.
No night shall be in heaven ! no dreadful hour
Of mental darkness, or the tempter’s power—
Across those skies no envious clouds shall roll,
To dim the sunlight of the raptured soul.
No night shall be in heaven ! forbid to sleep.
These eyes no more their mournful vigils keep ;
Their fountains dried their tears all wiped away—-
They gaze undazzled on eternal day.
No night shall be in heaven !—no sorrow’s reign,
No secret anguish, no corporeal pain ;
No shivering limbs, no burning fever there ;
No soul’s eclipse, no winter of despair.
No night shall he in heaven—but endless noon ;
No fast declining sun nor waniug moon ;
But there the Lamb shall yield perpetual light,
’Mid pastures green, and waters ever bright.
No night shall be in heaven—no darkened room,
No bed of death, nor silence of the tomb ;
But breezes, ever fresh with love and truth,
Shall brace the frame with an immortal youth.
No night shall be in heaven ! but night is here,
The night of sorrow, and the night of fear;
I mourn the ills that now my steps attend.
And shrink from others that may yet impend.
No night shall be in heaven ! oh, had I faith
To rest in what the faithful Witness saith,
That faith should make these hideous phantoms
tiee,
And leave no night, henceforth, on earth to me !

Thoughts of Heaven.
When the busy cares of the day are ended,
when white-winged peace has descended into
our hearts, and we have yielded to her sooth
ing influence, it is sweet in twilight's holy
hush, to think of the glories of Heaven, to be
divested for a time of all thoughts pertaining
to earth, and be wafted, in imagination, to
the New Jerusalem. We enter the abode of
the redeemed Israel, the city whose streets
are of gold, whose pearly gates gleam in the
glorious light of the sun of righteousness,
where all is beauty and glory, and there rest
beneath the smile of our Creator, who sits up
on the “great white throne,” and rules, with
the scepter of Divine love, the angelic hosts
which surround Him, with crowns upon their
heads, and hands clasping the palm of victory,
and who shout “salvation to our God. which
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”
We turn our enraptured gaze to the right
hand of the Father, and lo ! He who wept in
the garden is there—He who hung upon the
accursed tree as a propitiation for the sins of
a wicked world, and whose dying prayer was,
“Father, forgive them, they know not what
they do.” The angels saw Him look with
love upon His crucifiers, yes, even upon the
soldier who pierced His side; the}' saw the
sweet smile of resignation with which He
said, “It is finished.” They saw Him rise on
the third day from the sepulchre, saw Him
enter Heaven, and now they praise Him
eternally.
Blessed Jesus ! What a privilege we should
deem it to glorify Thy name. Why should
any fear death, since Thou hast robbed it of its
sting, and the grave is deprived of its victory
by the glorious sacrifice! Hast Thou not
promised life eternal to all who ask and be
lieve ? Can not all, who come to Thee in an
humble, contrite manner, drink freely of the
water of life, and share the joys of that bright
city, the beauty of which surpasseth all un
derstanding ? Yea, verily, Thou hast prom
ised it, and Thy promises are all-enduring.
We will be happy beyond our highest hopes,
when we enter the Heavenly portals, and meet
the loved ones gone before. Then :
u Down beside the wondrous river,
Where the trees of healing grow.
We will walk and worship ever—
To that city will we go.”

Loafing Is Unchristian.
How prone we are to dig among dust}’- old
books for the wise sayings of men. So soon
as the golden object of our efforts is dis
covered, we note down all our points and
begin to explain to young men what a good
thing our eminent friend has said, and we
continue to cackle at great length, alarming
the entire neighborhood.
This manner of procedure is particularly
true in regard to the loafing business, for it
is a business with some people. If loafing
was abolished, they would cartainly be out
of employment. I commenced to say that
we should not look so much as to what men
advise, but to the rules of conduct contained
in the Bible. In that book we can, without
much search or difficulty, find maxims by
which to regulate our entire life, both spir
itual and business. We should always go to
the fountain head for true wisdom.
So much has been remarked men in
reference to loafing, that I have deemed it
proper to examine what the Scriptures con
tain on the subject, and the following verse
embodies in substance that which is scatter
ed throughout the Bible against the practice
of loafing; Withdraw thy foot from thy
neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of thee,
and hate thee.” Prov. xxv ; 17.
Most people consider that this luxury T of
loafing is indulged in by the male sex only;
but I have seen some women who were most
persistent and successful loafers. Truly it
would be a good deed if some Christian per
son would whisper the above text in their
ears, and if whispering failed, I should cer
tainly advocate an elevation of the tone. By
engaging in this practice of idleness we
waste our own time as well as steal that of
others. Loafers are inveterate talkers, and
by their talking slay more people than did
Sampson and with a similar weapon. After
expatiating upon everything possible and
impossible, to the satifaction of their own
hearts, they firmly believe that they have
given the world a big shove toward great
ness. and probably towards the millenium.
And it is truthfully said that these very
loafers turn out to be men who always have
their hands in their own pockets or their
neighbors pockets. Better not have any
pockets when yon are near them, or at least
nothing in them. The Bible clearly disap
proves this idleness, and no Christian should
countenance or engage in it. Reader, are
yon a loafer? Walter R. Brown.
THE FARM.
Preparation for Wheat.
We hope that our wheat planters will re
member that wheat pays better tor all the
labor and pains taken in preparingthe ground
thoroughly than, any other crop. Though but
few of our farmers are in a condition to carry
out a system of manuring, yet it is by the
help of manure that the immense crops to the
acre are raised in Europe. It any should
doubt this, let them make the experiment of
thorough preparation, drainage and manure
ou a single acre. If that should prove a pay
ing success, they will never require another
admonition. In the hurry of other work,
and the habit of carelessness which farmers
get into, from press of work, they let the hur
ry to do too much ruin all.
Asa rule, ten acres, well and deeply plow
ed ami harrowed, even witlmut manure, will
produce double the crop that the same order
of land will, right at its side, that is prepared
and planted after the usual slip-shod style—
with just as great a difference in the style of
wheat; while, at the same time, thorough
preparation costs but little more work than
half preparation. Wheat is a white man’s
crop, one of the most profitable that is raised,
and will add greatly to the immigration, if
made a complete success, as it can be. Most
any Southern land will raise it, but of course
the heavy lime lands are the best. But be
cause lime lands are the best, our friends
who live on sandy, or any other light lands,
need by no means neglect this valuable crop.
Where it is possible, a tolerable good coat of
cotton seed, scattered from the wagon and
plowed under to a sufficient depth to prevent
them sprouting, will almost insure a fair crop.
It is better that the seed should have been
fermented before being spread on the ground,
as in that case they need not be plowed in
so deep In either instance, the ground should
have been plowed thoroughly and very deep,
before the spreading of the seed.
We speak of cotton seed, because gener
ally more convenient to be had, and easy to
be handled, but any other well rotted manure
will do as well, or better. And, in any event,
the same ground will pay quite as well (if
not better) planted in wheat as when planted
in any other crop.
An Idea for Teamsters.
The great difference between man educated
and man in a state of barbarism is, that while
the latter engages in the struggle with nature
relying mainly upon his own physical strength
to conquer, the former overcomes matter with
mind. The Scientific American says much
labor and hard tagging may be saved if ev
ery wagon and truck is provided with 100
feet of stout rope and a single pulley. A
snatch block is the best arrangement, with a
strong hook, and the usual construction for
slipping the bight of the rope under the strap
to the sheave, instead of waiting to reeve the
line through on end. If a wagon gets stuck
in hea\y nmd or in the snow, the driver has
only to fasten his block to the tongue, reeve
the rope through it, and attach one end to a
tree or post, and let his team pull on the oth
er. Their work is, of course, just halved, or
rather they bring twice as much power to bear
in dragging the wagon clear. There are plen
ty of other applications of this simple device,
which will readily suggest themselves. With
a couple of skids for an inclined plane, heavy
logs could be easily drawn on a sleigh by the
unhitched team. Another case where it is
likely to be useful is when loaded sleighs at
tempt to cross a wooden bridge. Although
the horses draw the load very easily over the
snow, they are often unable to start it over
the generally denuded wooden flooring of the
bridge, and hence would be materially aided
by the tackle, hitched on as we have described.
Hog Cholera.
Editors Eagle : I hear latterly considera
ble complaint in our county and others ad
joining, of what is said to be “hog cholera,”
at least it is something that is killing’a large
portion of the hogs. Permit me to make the
following statement: In the year 1&40L I
resided in the lower part of Jackson county,
in this State, at which time some disease, said
to be cholera, had killed a number of my
neighbors’ hogs. I usually fed my own hogs
myself, both morning and evening, and on
one evening noticed that some of them did
not eat with that greediness common to the
hog; the next morning several of them failed
to come when called. I went to where I knew
they slept, and found fourteen of my best
hogs dead. In the course of that day r an old
gentleman passed my house, and told me that
if I would get a quantity of the roots of our
common polk-berrv, boil them until they be
come soft, then with corn meal thicken into
a mush and feed it to my hogs, that it would
stop the disease. I did as he told me, and
did not loose another hog.
I have often noticed, what I have no doubt
others have done, that the hog frequently
roots considerable holes in the earth to obtain
and eat the polk root, from which I infer that
the polk might be a panacea for all diseases
of the hog. [ further practiced upon
the old adage that what had proved a cure
might also prove a preventive, since which
time—lß49—l have reared a good many hogs,
and have each year uniformly fed them some
three or four times each spring and summer
as directed with the above mixture, without
losing by disease, from that day to this,
another hog.
If you think the above might benefit the
people of our country, or any of the nume
rous readers of the Eagle, you can publish it;
otherwise turn it over to your trash box.
Very Respectfully, &c.,
John I. Cheatham.

1--^l'he common practice of using pads
! or sheepskin under a horse's collar is objec
tionable. especially in warm weather, because
it accumulates heat and makes the breast
tender. A better way is to take a piece of
thick and smooth leather, cut it out just the
size of the collar, or a little wider, and let it
lie flat on the neck and shoulders. It will lie
smooth, while the collar itself moves about,
and chaffing will thus be prevented. It is
also well to wash the breast of a working
horse every night with clean water.

STORY DEPARTMENT.
A Race for Life.
In the winter of 1855-56, a couple of Can
adian voyagers, by the name of Nicholas and
Jules Semineau, were caught by a terrible
snow-storm while taking up their traps on the
head of the Big Horn river in tffe Rockey
Mountains. The storm lasted for several
days, nor was there any hope of escape until
the snow should be compact enough to bear
their weight upon snow-shoes.
The voyagers were yet striplings, scarcely
arrived of age. Hitherto their father had ao
; companied them upon their expeditions, but
j now he was at home at his ranche on the
| great Overland route.
The tepee, or lodge of the brothers, consist
ed of a couple of buffalo robes stretched in
front of an overhanging rock that overlooked
the river. Here were stowed their furs, neat
ly tied up in small bales, made up principally
of the skins of minks, otters aud beavers,
with a few pelts of the silver fox. Over these
were laid robes which served them for a bed.
A little fire was replenished from time to
time by the dry branches of pine cedar, of
which they had fortunately an ample supply.
Thus Nicholas and Jules were enabled to
pass the day pleasantly* notwithstanding the
raging of the elements without.
Up the canyon through which the river
flowed, the wind sucked and roared terribly.
The icy face of the stream was soon cleared
of snow, which drifted into the lateral can
yons, gorging them completely.
In order to pass away the time the young
men busied themselves in making skates from
the horns of an elk. The art of skating they
learned while bo3's on the broad bosom of the
St. Lawrence.
Their meat running short, Nicholas con
cluded to have a run on his skates up the
river, with the hope of killing an elk, which
were numerous on the pine-covered slopes of
the mountains.
Rifle in hand, Nicholas started in high
spirits, gliding by rocky cape and frowning
promontory, made by the sharp bends and
curves of the river. Where the acclivities
wore gentle forests of the yellow pine, cedar
and juniper lifted up their dark green heads,
now burdened with a weight of snow. The
quick gaze of Nicholas which searched in
every shelter for the mighty antler of the elk,
or the blue coat of the black-tailed deer, the
best of all venison.
It was not long ere Nicholas spied a herd
of the latter, of which he had the good luck
to kill two. The saddles of these he secured
together, strapped them around his shoulders,
and started on his return home, distant about
four miles.
Nicholas skated leisurely along, humming
a light French air. when suddenly his ears
were struck l>3 r an unearthly cry which he at
once recognized as the roar of the mountain
lion, and he could distinguish also that the
cries proceeded from more than one. He
quickened his pace, his skates rang hard
against the solid ice. The cries became
clearer, and he instinctively felt that he was
pursued bv the lions.
Fear lent Nicholas wings. He dropped a
saddle, hoping, thereby, to satisfy the hunger
of the lions, lie found presently, however,
that they made no halt. It was the young
man they raged after, and naught but his
blood would appease them. He now cast
aside his remaining saddle and his rifle, and
leaned forward on his skates with all the
power he possessed. Nevertheless the beasts
gained rapidly on him. lie could hear their
mighty bounds. At times he fancied he could
feel their hot breath. He gazed over his
shoulder, and that glance revealed the lions,
their mouths wide open, and their blood-red
tongues hanging over their jaws, while their
cries were as frequent as the baying of a blood
hound. He was now compelled to double on
his course, the weight and impetus of the
lions carrying them be3*ond him. Happily
Nicholas preserved his presence of mind, and
by his skill as a skater, combined with won
derful activit} 7 , he eluded the efforts made by
the lions to seize him, and drew slowty to
wards home.
Presently Nicholas saw the smoke, curling
from under the rocky shelf, and as he shot
past his ears were greeted by the welcome
crack of a rifle, and one of the lions tumbled
over dead almost at his feet. The voyager
again turned toward the rock. Jules had re
loaded. Ilis unerring aim stretched the re
maining lion upon the ice. and Nicholas was
saved. It, was some months, however, before
he fully recovered from the superhuman ef
forts made by him in his race for life.
The next summer he served as a guide, and
it was while fishing in this same river that he
related to the writer this thrilling adventure.
How a Minister Fell.
The Maroa (111.) A eves publishes an ac
count of the resignation of Elder J. V.
Beekman as pastor of the Christian church
ot‘ that village. For some time past the
reverend gentleman's habits have been such
as to cause great grief to his friends and
bring reproach upon the church. At the
close of the sermon, wich was preached by a
neighboring pastor, Elder Beekman made
the following address, which we give as a
warning to all men, both young and old, to
avoid the sin and shame which have come
upon this man :
Asa man I have the highest conception
as to what the life and character of a min
ister of the Gospel should be, I know that
be should lead a consistent and an upright
liie, that can be looked to by the communtiy
as an example of purity and righteousness.
Knowing that my life has not been such in
all respects, I desire to tender to this church,
for which I have labored so long, my
nation.
You are aware that I refer to my sin of
intemperance. This may be my last oppor
tunity of addressing you, and I want to ask
you that you will not charge this great
shame to the religion of Christ. It teaches
better things. Charge it all to my own
depravity and sinful nature. To you who
have not this habit, it is strange that I
should thus yield to temptation. I well
remember the time when I thought it strange
that others drank and ruined themselves
with alcohol. lam glad that there are so
many young men here this morning, that I
may lift my voice in warning, and beg them
to profit by my example. You think now
that you are strong, and in no danger. I
well remember the time when I believed the
same. Twelve years ago, when I reached
forth my inexperieced hand and took the
intoxicating cup, I thought I was strong;
but I developed a habit that now holds me
in chains, and in the most awful slavery that
humanity was ever subjected to. It holds
me in its embrace when I seek ray bed for
repose; it disturbs my dreams during the
weary hours of night, and seizes me as its
prey when I rise up in the morning to enter
upon the duties of the day.
Profit, oh! profit by r my example; see
what it has done for me. There was a time
when I stood as fair as any minister of the
church in Illinois, there was a time when I
had as bright prospects and as cheering
hopes for the future as any of my class
mates. But now they are all gone because
of intermperance. Oh ! that I could bring
the whole world to hear my warning voice.
Young ladies, you can do much to remove
this curse from the world by not coun
tenancing its use among your companions.
Brethren, I sever my connection with you
as your pastor with a sad heart. It would
be sad under the most favorable circumstan
ces, but much more so as it is. But I shall
remain with you in the church, and labor in
the community for a livelihood ; I will come
to your social meetings and work with you
in Sunday-school, and will do what I can to
atone for the great sin I have committed.
God knows I do not wish to injure His
cause. Pray for me, that I may yet over
come this besetting sin. I trust I shall be
able to conquer. But, should I go down
under the withering influence, I ask that
you remember me kindly. Whenever you
meet me, and under what circmstances,
remember there was a time when you were
proud of me. But treat me as you may, act
toward me as you choose, I beg that you will
remember wife kindly. Do not give her
pain and sorrow because of my wrong doing.
Poor woman, she has always suffered
enough. I married her a sweet and inno
cent girl. She has been a patient and faith
ful wife. Again, I ask that you will kindly
remember my wife and children.
