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 ! [From the Index and Baptist.] 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.” Ida L. M y. Cusseta , Ga., Sept. 18, 1875. From the Index and Baptist. 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. —Gainesville Eagle. 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.

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. FACTS AND FANCIES.

In spinning yarns among silks and satins, a man is sure to be worsted and twisted ; and when a man is worsted and twisted he may consider himself wound up.” When a man goes to a quilting party about tea-time, and sits down on a ball of wicking with a long darning needle in it, he will think of more things connected with darning in a minute than he can mention in two hours. There is a man in one of the suburbs who supports his family in a handsome style by simply tying an able-bodied cat by the tail to a clothes-line every night, and then going out in the morning to collect the soap, shaving cups, brushes, etc., thrown into the yard by angry dwellers in adjoining houses. Exposition of Scripture was formerly much more in vogue than at present, especially in Scotland, and gave frequent occasion for the display of wit.

Such were the ravages of the disease, she was miserable and unfit for social enjoyment. After trying many remedies, and paying much money to physicians, a friend sent her a couple of bot tles of Regulator.
