i’ltiMUt'.) Sleep.
Sloop i;i ti boon commonly regAt-.ltXl
as priceless, but it may be purchase,!
too dearly. Macbeth murdered sleep;
a very large andoinliappily, increasing
number of well-meaning but misguided
persons poison it. . The medical pro
fession has a keen interest in the grow
ing practice of habitual recourse to
sleep-potions, because it is with the
connivance of the profession, if not un
der its specific advice, that these sorpo
rific poisons are employed. Wo think
the time lias come when some strong
means should be taken to clear rnedi
eitm from the reproach of countenanc
ing tho play use of opium, chloroform,
chloral, chlorodine, and the rest of tho
sloop-producers. Tho public should
bo told that they are playing with pois
on. If they escape a so-called “acci
dent’' which cuds in sudden death, they
are scarcely to bo congratulated, since
ii the body does not die, the brain is
disordered or disorganized, the mind
enfoohjnd, and t he moral character de
prave,!, or evils hur.ftv less IT, fil'draft!,;
than death are entailed. Thu consid
eration may be agonizing, but it; is sir
gout. The sleep produced by these
narcotics, or so-called sedatives -let,
them act as they may “ou !im nervous
system directly," or “through the
blood"—is poisoned. Tlmir use gives
tho persons employing them an attack
of cerebral congestion, only differing
in amount, not in kind, from tli • con
dition which naturally issues in death.
There is grave reason to fear lliat llw
real nature of the operation by which
tlicso deleterious drugs, one and all,
bring about tlm ttiicoitscion timst that
burlesques natural .sleep, i t lost sigit,,
of, or wholly misun ler ttoo i, by those
who have free vecourso to poisons on
the most, frivolous pretonees, or with
none save tho exigency of a morbid
habit.. Great responsibility rests ott
medical practitioners, and nothing can
atone for tho noglocfc of obvious duty.
The voice of wanting must be raised
instantly and urgently if a crying abuse
i to be arrested, and final loss of con
fidence in drugs avoided.
Pc net rat in:; Power of Light
Experiments have boon rocontly made
at. Trieste for the purpose of determin
ing how fur different, colored lights
penetrate darkness. Tho results of the
experiments are as follows:
Six lanterns with carefully selected
glass of different colors, and furnished
with wicks and oils of tho same quality
wore lighted on tho beach; and obser
vations woro made by a party in a boat.
At tho distance of a half loaguo tho
light blue lantern was invisible. At
the same distance tho dark blue lan
tern was scarcely visible. The white
lantern was seen at the greatest dis
tance of them all. Tho rod lantern was
soon at tho second, and the green lan
tern was seen at tho third greatest dis
tance. White, red and green lights
have, the greatest power of penetrating
darkness. lied and green lights are
particularly recommended for light
houses and for signals. There is about
a green light a peculiarity which is
this: that at a short disttneo it begins
to look blue, and oft is deceives per
sons. For this reason they who made
i the experiment suggest that as a signal
i a green light should never ho used, ex
cept, in conjunction with rod and white
lights.
(living up n Si)!, Custom.
We have heard of two or three grad
uating classes in young ladies’ schools
who this year will go through the im
portant exercises of commencement
•Jay dressed in calico. We wish the
example might bo largely copied Tho
emulation regarding the garb in which
young women were to receive their
diplomas has been in many schools
almost as great as that concerning the
standard of scholarship, and in many
cases the expense of a graduating cos
tume has exceeded that which used to
be spent upon a well-dressed bride.
J-"'ir K - - ~
Many young women who could no!
afford to dress up to the dicta oi the
richer or more extravagant girls have
declined graduating and left school a
few week* before the end of tho term.
Others, who looked forward to teaching
as ti profession, and whose diploma
was thus a sort of necessity, havo ac
tually borrowed money to expend up
on the drees that was decreed befitting
the occasion. Very few have had the
moral courage to appear iu a simple,
inexpensive dress. We knew a young
woman who yvas a charity student at a
college for youug ladies who spent bor
rowed money to the amount of S7O for
her gtft.JftfJ.ing dress, find was then as
plainly dressed as any in the clam. It
is n l mistaken, pride that itrducos young
sifit>J**i An alls was, of who
are limited in means, to submit to the
arbitration of those who havo pleqty
of money. Peopo*. self-respect would
prevent a girl who had been odiumked

course4>urdund by a debt of this sort;
and si#J Wkw hr ft vely .mad* ierAppeiir

would surely win more res pfenwm
those whoso opinions are worth con
sulting.
Strong < Hiiiractcr.
Strength of character consists of two
things—power of will, and power of
self-r esistance. It requires two things,
therefore, for its existence—feelings,
ami strong command over them. Now,
it is hero wo make a great mistake: we
mistake strong feeling for strong char
acter. A man who boars ai! before
him, before whose frown domestics
tremble, and whoso bursts of fury
make the children quako—because lie
lias his will obeyed, and his own way
in all things, wo call him a strong man.
The truth is, that ho is a weak man; it
is his passions that are strong—he,
mastered by them, is weak. You must
mousing the strength of a man by the
power of feelings he subdues, not by
the power of those which subdue
him. And lieu 'e composure is v. ry
often the highest result ol strength.
D;d we n ver see a man receive a
migrant insult, nd only grow a little
pale, Klld then rffTb."** “Yrnif intiTfla!.
spiritually strong. Or did we never
sec a man in anguish stand as if carv
ed out of solid rock, mastering him
self! Or one, bearing a hopeless dai
ly trial, remain silent, and never toll
what cankered his home peace V That
is strength. Ife who, with strong pas
son, remains chaste; he who, keenly
sensitive, with manly powers of indig
nation in him, can be provoked, and
yet restrain himself, and forgive—those
are the strong men, the spiritual
heroes.
I low to Succeed.
Young men who are ambitions to
succeed in life shout 1 tin lerstand very
early in their career, that no trade or
profession can bo well learned without
tborough application—sleepless indus
try and high resolve. Safe fortunes
are not amassed in a day, nor is pro
fessional excellency achieved in an
hour. The lives of great, or useful,or
successful men, all teach that impa
tient industry, steadiness of purpose
and sterling ambition, are tho only
keys with which to unlock tho heavy
doors of fortune and fame. Young
men shoijld loarn those truths in the
morning of life and keep thorn always
in mind as they struggle up the rug
ged way of human existence. Tho
man who labors for fortune, who
sweats that he may achieve,who denies
himself and toils on tho road, is very
apt to hold fast to tho goal when won.
The man who burns the midnight
lamp, that roads and stores away both
in season and out of season, that
climbs slowly, and with pains those
grand heights where ‘fame’s proud
temple shines afar,’ is more sure to
make goood uso of his achievements,
and to leave upon the shore oi time,
fo t prints that cannot be washed
away.
About Hating.
Hate nothing It is not worth while.
Young lit'o is not long enough to make
it pay to cherish ill-will or hard
thoughts. What if this man has choat
od you, or that woman played you
false ? What if this friend has for
saken you in time of need, or that one,
having won your utmost confidence!
your warmest love, has concluded that
he prefers to consider and treat you as
a stranger? Let it all pass. What
difference will it make to you in a few
years, when you go to the undiscover
ed country V A few more smiles, a few
more pleasures, much pain, a little
longer hurrying nnd worrying through
the world, some hasty greetings and
abrupt farewells, and our play will be
‘played out,’ the injured will holed away
and ore long forgotten. Is it worthy
to hate each other?
Contentment abides with truth. And
you will generally sailor for wishing
to appear other than you are, whether
it bo richer, or greater, or more learn
ed. The mask soon becomes an instru
ment of torture.

GAINESVILLE, GA„ FKIDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 187 G.
Wonderful Stories i.f (he Sagacity
of a Dog. . I v
.< >•. - - - >.••**;* |
Mr. Parkinson, of dPrtostoH, Ecg
laud, baa been offered £2OO for tho
dog ‘Morgan,’ that discovered the evi
dence against Fish, the murderer of
tho little girt Emily Blackburn, but lie
thinks that Taylor, to whom is due the
idea of using tho animal in that way,
should have the benefit., if uny, that
may be derived from the discovery. 1
He has, therefore, refused tho offer;
but he has proposod to Taylor to gDc
him £25 a week and his expeusee to
show the dog for a month,and probablv
Taylor will accept.
The dog was purchased by Mr. Par
kinson from George Spencer, formerly
gamekeeper ftt Brockholes, near Pres
ton, who yesterday gave our corres
pondent Somes wonderful Instances of
tho dog’s almost incredible sagacity.
Sponeer lived In a cottage by himself
on the Brockholes estate, and the dbg
would fetch the rniflt in the morhiyig
for his own li&l hi master's JjreaiffftSt
from a disfant farm-house.
~ On one occasion when lie returned
ti >• oaKStuifU,. Mt* .rOT ,
with tlm taiUt,-hia manor saw that, he
’“ii'mi been badly used by a dog at thej
farm while he had the kit iu his mouth,
and, as ho used to talk to the animal
as if ho wore a human companion, he
said: ‘Well, thou must go to Haw
cliff’s for milk to-morrow,’ and sure
enough the dog did so next morning,
without further hint, trotting off to
Itawcliffs with his kit and mouoy at
the usual time.
Ou auothor occasion, when Sponeer
returned home at four o’clock in the
morning after going his rounds, he
found that his cottage had been en
tered, and two sorrets, thirty nets,
some rabbits, and a spade had boon
stolen. Morgan tracked tlie thieves
through many devious ways and oven
across the ford below Ited Sear, until
lie found them iu a cottage in Black
burn, whore tho wholo of the property
was recovered. The thievos were two
notorious poachers, who before noon
on the same day wore sentenced by the
Bl.uikbui u magistrates to three months’
imprisonment-, with lemi labor. Mr.
Parkinson, since he bough; him, has
spent iiiiuvv hours ou Ins ‘tnluuiiU.m
and among many other things he can
do are such errands as fetching letters
from the Post-oflicc-, or taking let! era
thereto. He will even fetch a Post
office order, taking with him tlie mon
ey and instructions folded up together,
o-i receiving the command, ‘Go to the
counter and hitch me an order.’
How to Break oil' Bail Habits.
Understand the reasons, and ail the
reasons, why the habit is injurious
Study the subject until there in no
lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid
tlio places, tho persons, ami the
thoughts that load to the temptation
i reqiient the places, associate wi ll the
persons, indulge in the thoughts dial
lead away from temptation. Keep
busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give ip the struggle
when you have broken your resolution
once, twice—a thousand times. That
ouiy shows how much need there is
for you to strive. When you have
broken your resolution just think the
matter over, and endeavor to under
stand why it is you failed, so that you
may be ou your guard agains a re
curronce of tho same circumstances.
Do not think it an easy thing that you
havo undertaken. It is a folly to ex
pect to break off a habit iu a day which
may have been gathering long years.
Across the Continent in Eighty-
Eight Hours.
A train will start at one o’clock on
the morning of tho Ist of Juno for San
Francisco from tho City of New York,
a distance of 3,325 miles, with sixteen
passengers, each of whom will pay
SSOO fare, the fare including a week’s
board at the Grand Palace Hotel at
SauFraucisco. When the passengers
roach their destination they will be re
ceived by the Mayor and Common
Council of San Francisco. Mr Henry
C. Jarrett, of Booth’s Theater, who is
tho manager of tho affair, intends to
roach San Francisco in oighty-eight
hours from New York. The New York
Horald will bo carried on the train and
will be delivered at Pittsburg, Chicago,
Omaha, San Francisco and all inter
mediate statious on the roads. Mr.
Jarratt, moved with the spirit of Amer
ican enterprise, and desiring to do the
fastest thing over done on a railway in
the United States, has made arrange
ments with the different Railroad
Companies between New York and
San Fiancisco to have at night at every

Marriage,
+lt is the happiest and most virtuous
state of society, in which the hnsband
and wifo set out early togethor, make
their property together, and with per
fect sympathy of soul graduate all
their expenses, plans, calculations and
desires, with reference to their future
and common interest. Nothing de
lights mo mejre than to entor the neat
little tenement of tho young couple,
who within, perhaps two or three years
without any resources but their own
knowledge -Or industry have joined
boart and kpml and engaged to share
together the rosposibilities, duties, in
terest, trials and pleasures of life.
The industrious wife is ohoerfully
employing faor own hands in domestic
dut.es, putting her house in order, or
mending bet husbands clothes,or pre
paring tlm dinner, whilst, perhaps the
little darling sits prattling upon the
flour or li.;# sj.iejiing iu the-cradle—
and ' very (Tuuf; w.-. rus preparing to
welcome the happiest of husbands and
tho bust oi fathers, whou ho shall
corao from his toil to enjoy the sweets
of his little paradise.
This is the true domestic, happiness
the ‘only bliss that survived the
fall.’ Health, contentment, love,
abundance, and bright prjspocts, are
all bore. But it has become a prevalent
sentiment that a man must acquire his
fortune before he marries—that the
wifo must havo no sympathy, nor share
w-tli him in the pursuit of it, in which
most of the pleasure truly consists;
and the young married pooplo must
set oip. with as large and expensive
establishment as is becoming those
who have boon wedded for twenty
rears. This is very unhappy
A (loud Sermon.
The New York Sun preaches the
following brief but excellent Bormen on
honesty and truthfulness.
All men ought to have found out by
this time that it is never safe, either
for a public functionary or private in
dividual, to do wrong. It is never
safe to indulge in swindling, cheating,
or bribe taking. It is never safe to
practice corruption, any kind or degree
of it. It is never safe to indulge in
falsehood, any sort of it. It is never
safe to do anything which would
bring shame to the door by being re
vealed. One may fancy his misdeeds
can’t be found out, or have been cov
ered up,or can bo covered; or that they
can bo denied or explained away 60
that people will bo deceived about
them; but yet it remains true that
their can be no safety for the wrong
doer, and no security against his ex
posure. Though this looks hard to
some people, it is nevertheless in ac
cordance with the fixed and irreversi
ble moral law of things and of being.
The only safety for a man, or for a wo
man, is in restraining from wrong and
in doing right Even in old times, at
the very beginning of human history,
it was said, ‘Be sure your sins will find
you out.’
This is General Sherman’s estimate
of tho fighting qualities of Americans:
“Put tho Southern and Northern sol
diers together you have the strongest
element, in a military souse, that could
be gotten together for any national
purpose. As fighters they would be
invincible. The Southerners are im
petuous, aud will fight quicker and
fiercer, but they give out sooner; the
Northerners are slower, but they stay
longer; they have more endurance, aud
fight steadier and more stubbornly.
Iu lighting qualities the South repre
sents France and the North Englaud.
Put the two together and the devil
couldn’t whip them.”

A Uriel' Essay on Mules.
The mule is the most unhealthy ani
mal in the world—unhealthy to have
around.
He is continually possossed ol a
yearning desire to stretch himself —
especially his hind legs.
No man ever sees a mule kick him.
The man is usually seized with ob
scured vision just at that juncture.
We have seen a man get up after a
mule had kicked him (very rarely
though) and sweir with both hands
uplifted that ho didn’t believe the
animal had stirred a peg, he lookod s >
immovable and unconcerned.
A mule is a very “quick” animal.
Great quantities of that substance
lie hidden away beneath his toe calks.
Caution—take our word for this, and
don’t go hunting around in that
vicinity.
You can’t weigh a mule with any
sort of accuracy.
An ounce of mule weighs more than
a pound of any other live stock.
The mule is a very head-strong beast.
He is likewise exceedingly heel-strong
The mule—but blame a mule any
way.
History of the Onion.
Very few members of tho vegetable
kingdom exists that can boast an ol
der record than the onion. Theo
phrastus alluded to it as follows: ‘There
bo divers sorts of onions which have
their surnames -of the places whore
they grow; some also lessor, others
greater; somo bo round, and divers
others long.’ This is ample proof
that, even iu his early days, a variety
of sorts were grown, and in many
places. Pliny adds tho queaJift#J.e
information that ‘none grow wildo.’
Tho onion is also spoken of iu Holy
iu connection with tho
leek And othor fpgetablos, it is refer
red/to as a luxury belonging to the
Egyptians, at tlio earliest date wc pos
sess any history iu regard to thorn.
Though Theophrastus shows by his
statement above that distinct sorts
existed, we are inc ino.l to believe
that there were not more linn two or
three distinct typos then. They de
rived, however, a variety of name,
from the various places where they
known to bu grown freely. OKI an
thora describe a kind known as ‘Asca
louitides,’ a immo said by Gerardo to
lie ‘of a towno iu Judero, otherwise
called Pompeiana.’ Singularly enough,
however, the English name of this
kind is givuu by this latter authority
as ‘Scallions,’ and along with it is giv
en an illustration and the following
statement: This hath but small roots,
growing many together; the leaves are
like to onions, but lease. It seldom
bears either stalko, flouro or seed. It
is used to be oaten in sallmls.’ Both
Theophrastus and Pliny refer to this,
tho latter in tho sixth chapter of his
nineteenth book, where ho says, ‘The
one servoing for a sauce or to season
moat with.’ Can it be then, that in
Pompeii of old, chieves, as we kno.v
them now, wore usod popularly.
The Murder of Mabel Young In
tlie Boston Belfry.
[Boston Special to the Chicago Times. ]
The publication to-day of Piper’s
confession has caused tremendous ex
citement. In tho Supreme Judicial
Court this morning the counsel for the
condemned man formally gave up the
case, and remanded the criminal to
the just punishment of death. The
details of the confession show a depth
of cold-blooded atrocity hiydly credi
ble. He told kis counsel, regarding
the Mabel Young butchery : “I took
tho bat from the lower room before or
about the beginning of the school, to
kill somebody. At that time I carried
it up into the auditorium, but during
the session of the Sunday school, took
it from tho auditorium and carried it
to the bolfry. After the close of the
school I came dowu stairs and opened
the doors. Then I went up again at
the time that I sent away the boys who
were playing in the vestibule. After
the boys had gone out and I was still
in the vestibule, tho little girl came up
stairs, and I induced her to go with
mo to the belfry. There I struck her
with the club two or three times, and
she fell where the blood was found
Then I picked her up and carried the
body to the place whore it was discov
ered.”
After Piper had told this, in much
agitation, Mr. Brown asked if that was
all he had to confess. “No, sir,” re
plied the miserable man. “I killed
Bridget Landcrgin.” After tolling
about getting tho club and seeing a
woman pass, he said: “I followed hor
down till we got to Columbia street.
Then I was so near her that she looked
around and saw mo. I struck hor im
mediately. She foil down aud I struck
her again. While I was stooping over
the body I saw a man coming, so 1
star tod up aud ran away. I got over
the fence and went along toward the
railroad. While I was climbing up the
bank of the railroad somebody called
out to me, and then I turned back,
took a roundabout way and got home.
On the way home it occurred to me
that I had a knife in my pocket which
might be recognizod in some manner,
and I threw it away.
Mr. Brown asked him if that was al
he had to say. “No,” replied Piper
again; “I assaulted Mary Tyner. I wa
sexton of the Church at the time. 1
was down town in tho oveuing, and
near Lagrange street I met this girl.
Mary Tyner. She spoko to me, and
we ha.d a little chat together. I in
vited her to go into a saloon, and sh.
did so. After we had some refresh
ments, I went home with her and re
mained some time. In the course o:
the night I awoke and found 6he was
asleep. I saw that I could get out b.
either a front or back window, and so
I took up something in the shape of a
hammer and struck her several blows,
so as to smash her head in. I then
left the house and went up to the
church, where I spent the rest of the
night.”
“He told me,” said Mr. Brown, “that
his deeds were tho result of delirium
caused by the use of whisky and
opium,” but lie has confessed to an
other man that he carried Mabel Young
into the tower iutoiuliug to ravish liei
after he had killed her, and it is known
that the attempt was made to ravish
Bridget Landergiu’s dead body. It is
believed that Piper also killed Katy
Leehon, whose dead body was found
near Longwood some four years ago.
She was killed in the same manner as
Bridget Landergin, and ravished, as
the surgeons thought, after death.
Time lost can never be regained
After allowing yourself proper time for
rest, don’t live a single hour of your
life without doing exactly what is to be
done iu it, and going straight through
with it from beginning to end. Work,
play, study, whatever it is, take hold of
it at onco and finish it up squarel • and
cleanly; then to tho next thing with
out letting any moments drop out bo
tween. It is wonderful to see liow
many hours thoso prompt people con
trive to make out of a day; it is as if
they picked up the moments tho dawd
ler-. lost. Aiul if you ever find your
self where you have so many tilings
pressed upon you that you hardly
know where to begin, lot me tt H you
secret. Take hold of the very ouo that
comes to hand, and you will find the
rest all fall into fide and follow after
liko a company of well-drilled soldiers;
and, though work may bo hard to
meet when it charges you in a squad,
it is easy vanquished if you can bring
it into lino.
I have so great a contempt and de
testation for meanness that I could
sooner make a friend of one who had
committed murder than of a person
who could be capable, in any instanco,
of the former vice. Under meanness 1
comprehend dishonesty; under dishon
esty, ingratitude, irroligion; and under
this latter, every species of vice and
immorality iu human nature.
Perfect wisdom, says an ancient
philosopher, hath four parts—viz , wis
dom, the principle of doing things
aright; justice, the principle of doing
things equally in public and private;
fortitude, the principle of not flying
danger but meeting it; and temper
ance, tho principle of subduing desires
and living moderately.
It is no more possible for an idle
man to keep together a certain stock
of knowledge than it is possible to keep
together a stock of the ice exposed to
the meridian sun. Every day destroys
a fact, a relation or an inference; and
the only method of preserving the balk
and value of the pile is to be constant
ly adding to it.

To give brilliancy to the eyes, shut
them early at night and open them
