AV HONOR OF OUR 81L VER WBDDiNQ DA Y.
to My wirs, to wnoM i was marrikd in ier-
BT, #*OROIA, Jl’Nr 14,18f>5,
Twice ten and five swift vears have fled
Since ow> trvth did plight,
And hands and fortunes, hearts, did wed,
Life's battles fierce to fight,
And though with pain and toil we’ve bowed.
And grief our hearts hath torn,
Wove kept the faith we early vowed,
Nor find our ties weak worn.
My years are now full foitv nine,
And yours near forty-four,
Hut. yet in eves of yours and mine
Each scarcely seems a score:
For though our locks be thin and white,
Our forms be bent by years,
It, heart still young, in feeling bright,
V\e smile at toils and cares.
Twelve Olive Plants to its were given
Awhile to train and guide,
But five are now with God in heaven,
The rest on earth abide:
And though of these two have us left
Their homes apait to make,
We will not grieve, we’er not beieft,
Life's way must each one take.
God grant us grace those left, to rear
And train in Wisdom’s ways,
That at his throne all may appear,
To meet, rejoice and praise !
Oh! happy day, when we shall throng
The throne of Jah, I Am,
To swell the chorus of “The Bong
Of Moses and the Lamb,”
A quarter of a century
Our lives have flowed as one,
Mid life and death 8 great mystery
Our work and way have run ;
And though disease hath struck us sore
And rent our circle wide,
Unmoved we hear the storm’s loud roar
Safe standing by our Guide.
Then cheerful onward let us go,
As past, with hand in hard! *
We’ve climbed the hill together, Jo,
Rehold “The Promise Land”!
In years now gone, our God’s been true,
His promises did keep,
We'll trust Him still, our way pursue,
And in Christ fall asleep.
John M. Richardson.
Sulphur Springs, Texas, June 14, 1880.
On Tle Wing.
.My last jottings were near Jack
son in this State, from which point
I moved along the railroad to
V icksburg, where Gen. Pemberton
surrendered on the 4th of July and
thereby threw a damper over our
Western army. Many war relics
fire to be seen at this point vet.—-
1 his city is built on the pinnacles
of hi 1 Is, on their sides and under
them, and down upon the waters—
or on a level with it, The whole is
picturesque. We predict this city
will become a great thoroughfare
for travel when the railroad is com
pleted from Monroe, Louisiana, to
Shreveport, which will give a direct
line of railroad from the far East
to the far West. L>tiring my short
stay at this point the Mississippi
Cotton Valley Association convened
and the polite President, Mr. More
head, invitedthe writer to attend and
present the claims of the gin-sharp
ener, which I did in in a short
speech by way of explanation,
thinking I was well entertained, if
they were not. After whetting up
Vicksburg in this manner, I sold
two counties and was honored with
a seat on, the train to Bovina by the
side of the llou. J. fL Chaim irs,
representative from the Sixth Con
gressional district, who h and that
day Bev. J. R. Lynch, colored,
placed as Republican nominee in
the field as opponent. You will
see from the above that my invita
tion was from Morehead because
doubtless I was more tongue
than head. So mote it be.—-
Crops prospects are very fine on
Big Black, where cotton is 6 feet
apart. Some is now meeting in
the middle here as well as on Yazoo
river. There are farms that are worth
talking about, beautiful level land,
and continued fields for 20 miles in
extent, with cotton as high as my
head and corn now ripe and fodder
about ready to gather. Here while
laborers are in demand the citizens
are solicitous for whites to come
and settle among them that they
may have schools and more extend
ed church facilities. Planters
would give preference to white ten
ants, and exclude colored entirely.
As to the health, all appear to have as
good health as Carrollites with their
water not so cool as it is in Carroll
but pleasent to taste. Yesterday at
noon where I dined there was a
bear’s head on the fence as big as
a small keg, and a little up the
river there was a bear’s foot laid up
on the signboard. I looked
around to see if I had good clearance
and took up a more lively gait in
search of more congenial quarters.
Various reports of panthers, bears,
wolves, etc., appeared to boa little
alarming to the uninitiated.

A Tarlil*s views on Woman, Ex*
pressed in Ktijrmeand PrwNO.
Long to be remembered in the
annals of the North Carolina press
convention will be the meeting held
in Asheville. Naturally an editor
and North Carolinian has a su
preme veneration for the fair sex,
but when beauty comes in troops
and battalions, they yield willing
obedience, and become intoxicated
with the perfume of loveliness. In
this condition must have been that
member who made tlie following
response to the toast of worn Tin :
lie advanced to the front of the
platform, blandly smiling as he
said :
“Woman ! Oh ! woman !
‘Whose fragrance tills tho land ;
Whoaa beauty stars the earth.
And lights the hearth* of happy homes
With loveliness and worth.’
1 am at a loss to know Mr. Pres
ident, why I have been called on to
respond to the toast of woman. T
am not a woman, nor never have
been one [cheers.] Yet 1 am
closely related to several of that
sex. One of them I have the hon
or to call by the endearing name
of mother [applause], three claim
me as sisters. [Laughter.] I mean
I claim them as sisters, and one
(only one so far) has honored me
with her heart and hand. [ Vocifer
ous applause]. Myeountrvmen,con
you tell me-why the young unmar
ried men of the press are called on
to respond to such a toast as this ?
AVI tat do they know of the magic
influence of her -sweet by-and-by ?
Of the impressiveness of the roll
ing-pin, or sweeping power of the
broom-handle .when wielded by her
precious, bejeweled hands ? [Con
tinued applause]. Sir, in the lan
guage of the greatest of America’s
living statesman—Zeb Vance, who
recently plucked a lovely flower
from the weeds of widowhood
[cheers for Vance] —the man who
fads to respond to woman is not tit
to occupy the proud pro-eminence
of a member of the North Carolina
press association, and deserves the
condign punishment of being put
in the revenue service after moon
shiners. [Deafening applause].—
Sir, ever since the invention of the
corset woman has been in favor of
the press; that accounts why the
veteran editor of the Raleigh Ob
server lias such a reduced form.
[Cheers and laughter].
Woman, my countrymen’, is as
chaste as an icicle, yet not so cheer
less ; as pure as a snowflake,
though not as cold. Sir, she is like
the ray of the sunbeam that, con
centrating its focal power on the
heaviest iron bridge, can lift its
weightiest beams from their sock
ets and old ocean, even, from his
briny bed. Her smiles can raise
up a man from the deepest lied of
gloom or the heaviest sea of de
spondency. Sir, she is like the rain
bow that spans the heavens, telling
of future joy and peace and sun
shine amid the darkest surround
ings. She is an Iris in the storm of
life to man. [Tremendous cheering
—the ladies waving fans and hand
kerchiefs.] Without her influence
and example Harrell would never
have been a poet, Battle a states
man, or Stone a philosopher.—•
[Laughter.] The North Carolina
press association would lose its
guiding star, its chart and compass,
and the North Carolina farmer
would suspend, for Ennis would
“flee the realm.” [Cheers and
laughter]. When lam summon
ed hence as a mother’s fond caress
greeted me on my entrance into
the world, so let a wife’s soothing
hand wipe the dews of death from
my brow and smooth the rolling
waves of Jordon until I safely reach
the other shore. Were this con
vention open now to decide wheth
er they would have “women with
out the world,” or the “world with
out woman,” one unanimous vote
would be recorded for “woman,”
though some of the members might
say they were for man, yet as for
me give me woman and you may
have the world and the rest of man
kind, including the mother-in-law.
(The speaker retired in a shower of
bouquets.)
A sad looking young man went
into a drug store. “Can you give
me,” he asked, “something that will
drive from my mind the thoughts
of sorrow and bitter recollections?”
The druggist nodded, and put him
up a little dose of quinine and
wormwood and rhubarb and epsom
salts and a dash of castor oil and
gave him, and for six months the
man couldn’t think of anything in
the world except new schemes for
getting the taste out of his mouth.

Hints in Regard to Lightning.
In a recent article on this sub
ject, a well known scientific writer
says : “It is never too soon io go
in the house when a storm is rising.
When the clouds are fully charged
with electricity they are most dan
gerous and the fluid obeys a subtile
attraction whieii acts at great dis
tances and in all directions. A
woman told me of a bolt which
came down her mother's chimney
from a rising cloud when the sun
was shining overhead. N. W. Wil
lis writes of a young girl who was
killed while passing under a tele
graph wire, on the brow of a hill,
while she was hurrying home be
fore a storm. The sad accident at
Morrisania, when two children were
killed, should warn every mother
that it is not safe to let children
stay out of doors the last minute
before the storm falls. People
should not be foolhardy about sit
ting on porches or hy open windows,
whether the storm is,hard or not.—
Mild showers often carry a single
charge which fails with deadly ef
fect. It may or may not be safe
to stay out; it is safe to be in the
house, witli the windows and doors
closed. The dry air in a house is a.
readier conductor than the damp
air outside, and any draught of air
invites it. A hot fire in a chimney
attracts it, so to speak, and it is
prudent for those who would be
sure of safety to use kerosene or
gas stoves in summer, and avoid
heating the chimneys of houses.—
People are very ignorant or reck
less about lightning. I have seen
a girl of eighteen crying with fear
of lightning, and running every
other moment to the window to see
if the storm was not abating, un
conscious that she was putting her
self in danger. If every one would
hurry to shelter as soon as a storm
cloud was coming, and if they
would shut the doors and windows,
and keep away ftom them after
wards, and from wires, stove pipes,
mantels, heaters and mirrors, with
their silvered backs, which carry
electricity, and keep away from
lightning rods and their vicinity,
and from metal water spouts, with
good rods on their houses, they
might- dismiss the fear of lightning
from their minds, so far as it is a
thing of reason and not impress
ion.”
There is anew chapter of roman
tic fact in the follwing advertise
ment inserted in a New York pa
per :
TT7ILL THE LADY ON THF ILL FATED
V V steamer Seawanhaka, who secured a life-pre
server on a one-armed elder gentleman, or in any
manner assisted him in escaping the terrible death
with which the burning steamer threatened him,
kiwdlv diop a line giving her address to DUKYKA,
29 ?ark Place, New York.
No. 29 Park place is the store of
the starch manufacturers, Duryea,
whose factory is at Glen Cove.—
The senior of the firm, H. Y. Dur
yea, now 82 years old, and one-arm
ed, was a passenger on the lost
steamer Seawanhaka. While stand
ing on the hurricane deck, life-pre
server in hand, a young lady asked
him why he did not put it on. “I
am one-armed, therefore unable,”
lie said, “I will assist you,” she
said, and acted accordingly. She
trembled, but he encouraged her,
and they inspired each other with
greater courage. He climbed and
tumbled in the water with hat and
cane, sank and rose, and saw a man
and woman near him, and each hav
ing on a life-preserver. His had
descended to his ankles. He caught
hold of the woman’s dress gently
and unperoeived by her, and thus
managed to breathe. She soon dis
covered him, and tried to kick him
off. The husband pleaded for the
old gentleman, saying that he did
her no harm, and she relented.—■ j
Shortly afterward Mr. Duryea was ;
picked up by a boat of the Granite j
State, put on the Osseo, and was ta
ken to Glen Cove. He clung to
his hat and cane, and next morning
was all right. His son, Col.
George Duryea, at the bow of the !
Seawanhaka, kept a man with a |
broken leg from plunging over j
till the boat was beached, when he j
dropped off into the soft mud. The ;
man’s leg had been broken in some !
way by the compacked mass of
frienzied passengers. The Duryea i
family ascribe the saving of the old
gentleman's life to the generous [
and timely assistance of the un
known young lady who j
helped him to put on a life-preserv
er. If she is poor they want to be
friend her; anyway, they wapt to
know her, and to testify to her
their gratitude for her really noble
act.
Real merit of any kind cannot
long be concealed ; it will be dis- i
covered, and nothing can depreciate
it but a man’s exhibiting it himself. :
Age is venerable in man and
would be in woman-—if she ever be- j
came old.
The Dark Horse In Politics.
Once upon a time there lived in
Tennessee an old chap named Sam
FI ynn, who traded in horses and
generally contrived to own a speedy
nag or two, which lie used for rac
ing purposes whenever he could
pick up a “soft match” during his
travels. The best of his flyers was
a coal-black stallion named Dusky
Fete, who was also a thorough
bred, and able to go in the best of
company. Flynn was accustomed
to saddle Pete when approaching a
town and ride him into it to give
the impression that the animal was
merely “a likely boss,” and not a
flyer. One day he came to a town
where a country race meeting was
being held, and he entered Pete
among the contestants. The peo
ple of the town, not knowing any
-1 thing of his antecedents, and not
j beiug over impressed by his ap-
I pearance, backed two or three local
j favorites heavily against him. Flynn
moved quietly among the crowd,
| and took all the bets offered against
his nag. Just as the “flyers” were
being saddled for the race old
j Judge McMinamee, who was turf
j oracle of that part of the State, ar
i rived on the course, and was made
one of the judges. As he‘took his
place in the stand he was told how
the betting ran, and of the folly of
; the owner of the strange entry in
backing his “plug” so heavily.—
Punning bis eye over the track,
the Judge instantly recognized
Pete, and he said: “Gentlemen,
there’s a dark horse in this race
that will make some of you smell
before supper.” The J udge
was right. Pete, the “dark horse,”
lay back until the three-quarter
pole was reached, when he went to
the front with a rush, and won the
purse and Flynn’s bets with the
greatest ease.
From the New York Sim.
Try It and See.
We all know that the tendency
of a very long lease of power to
any one party is to promote the
pride of place and to engender cor
ruption.
The Republicans have now been
so long in authority that they seem
almost to believe that they possess
a kind- of divine right to rule.
As to the corruptions of the sev
eral departments, we may reasona
bly conclude from what one inves
tigation after another discloses that
the aggregate amount must be
something enormous.
Why not, then, try and see what
a change of men in power, from
the President down, will effect?
It must, almost necessariallv, re
sult in a very large saving in the
expenses of the government, and in
the taxes upon the people.
The weight of taxes is heavy.
Shall it be lightened. ?
Yes ; it ought to be.
How can it be done ?
Elect Hancock and try the expe
riment, and let us see what the re
sult will be.
We have received a pamphlet
embodying several articles printed
in the newspapers some months
back going to show that Ex-Gov.
Joseph E. Brown was actuated by
a desire to serve the “Columbus
prisoners” when he appeared as
prosecutor before the court-martial
that tried them. However that
may be is of small consequence in
our estimation. That Gov. Brown
favored the unconstitutional act of
Congress that put ten Southern
States under martial law and threw
people at the mercy of drumhead
courts-martial is the main source of
our objection to his elevation to the
place of United States Senator from
Georgia. We differed at that time
with Gov. Brown on the funda
mental principle of American liber
ty, and the difference we take it
still exists, as we hold now to the
opinion held then, and understand
that Gov.‘Brown says now lie was
right then. The principle is a vi
tal one and the difference too great
for agreement without change on
the part of someone, and we do not
propose to change.—[Rome Courier.
Besides a sprinkling of white
candidates, Lee county possesses five
darkies who are aspirants for legis
lative honors. One of these, accor
ding to the Americns Recorder,
holds out great promises to his col
or if he is returned. Among other
changes, he declares it is His inten
tion to bring about a revolution in
the criminal law of the State. He
illustrates the proposed amend
ments thus : When a cullered pus
son takes a hog, and dey fines him
out, let de man pay de owner ob
de swine what eber de animal is j
wuf, sted of sending him to de pen- j
itentiary,’ This candidate is taking
well.
It is said that nothing succeeds
like success. Just put a boy ini
conjunction with a watermelon and
if he don’t suck seed more than sue- j
cess then we miss our guess. /
How Jim nuied the ’Pomuib.
A correspondent at Starkvilie,
I Miss., writes:
j The flat Creek neighborhood, to
j gether with the whole surrounding
: country, in Eastern Mississippi, is
amply feupplied with opossums, and
boast of two or three “'possum dogs
that can't be beat.” Consequently
; the favorite delicacy of the South
ern darkey is abundantly enjoyed
lon the creek at the proper season.
In this connection there is often
told in the community a practical
joke which Peter Brown played on
Jim Mason. Peter and Jim were
fast friends and generally “ran to
gether'’ during their leisure hours.
On one occasion, after dark, Jim
killed a small, fat opossum, which
he thought would just about make
a “square meal” for one hungry
man. The little animal was prompt
ly prepared and put on the fire to
| cook ; while Jim, who at that time
the sole occupant of the cabin—
stretched himself before tho fire
while the opossum was cooking.— !
In a few minutes he was buried in 1
slumber. Jim’s sleep ivas deep and !
unbroken. Time passed on ; the !
opossum was finally “done” through
and through, and still Jim continu
ed to sleep and snore.
At this stage of the proceedings
Peter Brown entered the cabin and
took in the situation. He was hun
gry himself and saw an opportuni
ty to get a lunch. So he quickly re
moved the skillet-top, took out the
opossum and proceeded to “discuss'’
it with the keenest relish. In a
little while it was all devoured.—
Peter then took a piece of the re
maining fat and carefully and cau
tiously greased Jim’s hands and
month, while the latter continued
to snore. Peter then left the cab
in, leaving the bones scattered on
the hearth.
At Lust Jim awoke with a drow
sy stare and rubbed his eyes. He
looked around awhile, and then
broke into the following soliloquy :
“Well, Mr. ’Possum, I reckon
you done by dis time ; yars, you
gran’ vilyan, I'll eat you now; my
mouf done sot reg’lar ’possum fash
ion.”
With these words Jim looked in
to the skillet, where only a few
scraps marked what was left of the
savory feast:
‘‘Bless my stars,” lie exclaimed,
“ef somebody ain’t done stole de
’possum ! Hi, herede bones scatter
ed all ’bout de Ho’; some dogged
villyan been here an’ eat dat ’pos
sum while I was ’sleep; wait, lem
me see; why, my hands chock full
ob grease. Wait, hoi’ on; why,
bless my life, if my mouf ain’t
right greasy, too ! Well, well, well;
I wonder ef I did git up an’ eat dat
’possum while I was ’sleep ! I mus’
a’ done it! I mus’ a’ done it! Well,,
all I got to say is dis: Ef I did
eat dat ’possum he sets lighter on
my stomach an’ he gibs me less
consolation dan any ’possum I eb
ber cat since I was born.
Mrs Tom Thumb is described by
a correspondent as she appeared
recently in the surf. She is now
a perfect matron in miniature. Her
face, though still pretty, shows her
age, and has a quaint motherly ex
pression. She is a realization in a
small way, of fair, fat and forty.
She wore a suit of blue gray flan
nel, which was jaunty and coquet
tish before it got wet. Her arms
were bare to the tops of her shoul
ders, in each of which was a pretty
little dimple, and there was a
shapely taper down to her wrists.
Her small feet were uncovered.
She had a comically dignified air,
and stepped into the surf with the
air of a knee-high queen. She
waded boldly nntill she met the
first wave, which soused her, down
rolled her over and over, • and
finally threw her up oil the sand.
All the style had been instantan
eously drenched out of her clothes,
but take her, altogether, she looked
better after the ordeal than did
most of the bigger woman.” Her
husband is enormously fat, wears
whiskers, and shows all of his fifty
years. His brother in law, Major
Newell, who was a dwarf of vory
small proportions when he married
Minnie Warren, has since grown to
a stature of five feet.

“For ten years my wife was con

could tell what was the matter or
cure her, and I used up a small for
