There is never a time from the day a boy gets big enough to make frog-houses by packing the damp sand on his baro foot, to the hour when the preliminary arrangements are being made for his funeral, that the desire to outshine his neighbor does not form the biggest moter in the machinery of his life.

There are beautiful songs that we never sing, And names that are never spoken; There are treasures guarded with jealous care, And kept as a sacred token. There are faded flowers, and letters dim Willi tears that have rained above them, Tor the tickle words and the faithless hearts Th t taught us how to love them. There are sighs that come in our joyous hours To chasten our gleams of gladness; And tears that spring to our aching eyes In hours of thoughtless sadness. For the blithest birds that si g in spring Will flit the waning summer; And lips that we kissed in fondest love Will smile on the first new comer. Over the breast whero lilies rest In white hands stilled forever, The roses of June will nod and bloom, Unhoediug the hearts that sever; And iips that quiver in silent grief, All words of hope refusing, Will lightly turn to the fleeting joys That perish with the using. Summer blossoms aud winter snows Love and its sweet elysian ; Hope, like a syren dim and fair, Quickening our fainting vision; Drooping spirit and fading pulse. Where untold memories hover, Eyelids touched with the seal of death— Aud the fitful dream is over. A Travel in a Desert. After the fifth dtiy of my journey, Ino longer travelled over shifting hills, but came upon a dead level —a dead level bed of sand, quite hard, and studded with small shining peb bles. The heat grew .fierce; there was no valley nor hollow, no hill, no mound, no shadow of hill nor of mound, by which I could mark the way I was making. Hour by hour I advanced, and saw no change. I was still in the very centre of a round horison; hour by hour I advanced, and still there was the same, and the same, and the same —the same circle of filming sky—the same circle of sand still glaring with light and fire Over all the heaven above —over all the earth beneath, there was no visi ble power that could balk the fierce will of the sun; “he rejoiced as a strong man to iun a race; his going forth was from the end of the heaven and his circuit unto the ends of it, and there was nothing hid from the heat thereof,” From pole to pole, arid from the east to the west, he brandished his fiery sceptre as though he had usurped all heaven and earth. As he bid the soft Persian in ancient times, so now, and fiercely too, he bid me bow down and worship him; so now iu his pride he seemed to command me and say: “Thou shalt have none other Gods but me.” I was all alone before him. There were these two pitted together, and face to face—the mighty suu for one and for the other—this poor, pale, solitary self of mine, that I always carry about with me. But on the 7th day, and before L had yet turned away from Jehovah for the glittering god of the Persians, there appeared a dark line upon the edge of the for ward horison, aud soi>u the line deepened into a delicate fringe that sparkled here and there, as though it were sown with diamonds. There then, before me were the gardens and the minarets of Egypt, aud the mighty works of thu Nile tnd JCfie era 1 : wn: ~ .TsrttrP WTFfr—z to see, and I saw them. When evening came I was still within tho confines of the desert, and my tent was pitched as usual, but one of my Arabs stalked away rapidly towards the west without telling me of the erraud on which he was bent. After awhile he returned he had toiled on a grateful service; he had traveled all the way on to the bolder of tho living world, and brought me back for token an ear of rice, full fresh and green. The next day I entered upon Egypt, and lloated along (for the de light was as the delight of bathing) through green, wavy fields of rice, and pastures fresh and plentiful, and dived into the cold verdure of groves aid gardens, and quenched my hot eyes in shade, as though in deep rushing waters, lintiiing. Cleanliness is surely next to God liness. Ido not think an individual can bo physically unclean and moral ly pure. One of the greatest causes of skin diseases is the lack of the use of water. There is all times and un der all circumstances a shedding of the epithelium of the skin. It comes off in scales, which if not removed, will close the pores of the skin and prevent free respiration that is con stantly taking place. One of natures modes of disposing of her surplus heat and waste matter is by sending them out through the pores of the skin. In fact so essential is this to the physical economy that if the body be covered with a coat of varnish for even a short time dctith will occur. From this you will observe how im portant it is for us to keep every pore open. To do this wo must bathe i will not stop to speak of the benefits to be derived from the employment of Turkish or other baths, but bathe regularly and often. Every man, woman and child should batho t wice a week at least, and of teuer when the employment is such as to render it necessary. Now it may seem strange but most people don’t bathe once a month on an aver age, and one half of those who do, do it in such a way that no good comes from it. While sponging one’s self off is better than not bathing at all yet it is not as beneficial as it should be. It is not necessary that you have a bath room, with oil the modern conveniences. Ail you need is a warm room and a few gallons of wa ter, some soap and a sponge. It re quires no skill to use them. Use the bath if you would preserve your health. I remember of hearing a doctor tell a patient to take a warm bath. The patient afterward said: ‘Thats the first water that has touched my back iu sixteen years.” I'lio man that will not wash himself oftener than that is a brute. Physically we are a nation of inva lids. We can never be aught else as loug as we antagonize all the laws of hygiene by our daily lives. The neglect of cleanliness i9 ono of the most flagrant causes of disease. Then keep your body clean, and my word for it you will instinctively loathe and abhor all that is vile and filthy. A physically impure man or woman is an object of aversion to everybody. Regard cleanliness as a 1 cardinal virtue. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 30, 1879. Do the Dying Suffer Pain. People do not like to think of death It is an unpleasant subject; but it constantly obtrudes itself, and there has been much speculation as to whether mental or physical pain at tends the final act. Observation teaches us that there is little pain of either kind in dying. Experience will come to us all one of these days, but it will come too late to benefit those who remain. It 6eetns to be a kind provision of nature that, as we approach the dread event, our terrors diminish, aud the coward and the hero die alike—fearless, indifferent or resigned. As to physical pain Dr Edwaid H. Clark, in “Visions,” says: “The rule is that unconsciousness, not pain, at* ends the final act. To the subject of it death is no more painful than birth. Painlessly wo come; whence we know not. Pain- lessly go; whither we know not. Nature kindly provides an anaesthet ic for the body when the spirit leaves it. Previous to that moment, and ia preparation for it, respiration be comes feeble, generally slow and short, sudden expirations, so that the blood is steadily less and less oxygenated. At the same time the heart acts with corresponding debil ity, producing a slow, feeble and of ten irregular pulse. As this process goes on, the blood is not only driven to the head with diminished force and iu less and less quantity, but what Hows there is loaded more and more with carbonic acid gas, a pow erful aiiSeAhetic, the same as that derived from charcoal. * Subject to its influence the nerve centers lose consciousness and sensibility, appar ent sleep creeps over the sytam; then comes stupor, then the end.” Sympathy vs. Justice. Recently a suit was tried before an Indiana justice of the peace wherein a lady was plaintiff, and a bank de fendant The evidence showed con clusively that the fair plaintiff had no right to recover; of this no one could have the shadow of a doubt. Her learned counsel kuew well that unless he could get the sympathy of the judge, his client would have a lost cause. He therefore’ labored hard in applying the sympathetic process. He gushed with eloquence of great warmth in referring to his client’s rights, until finally gre it tears came trickling down his cheeks, at the sight of which the justice (who was a very tender-hearted individual) was also moved to tears. This satis fied the attorney that th.- sympathy of the court was in beha f ->f the lady and he closed the argum at by say ing: “It does my heart good lobe lieve that this- honorable court, in the exercise of sound discretion, will not allow- the rights of a pure and noble lady to be trampled be neath the cloven faahaii u soulless ,) A. ■' confident that he would get a judg ment ever poor Miss Flite was. Thereupon the squire rendered the following comprehensive and satis factory decision: “The plaintiff in this case is a woman, and her coun sel has for the last hour touched the the sympathy of the court in her be half, and I am glad of it; but I think, under the law, that the justice is on the side of the bank. I therefore find in favor of the bank, and let the record show that Mrs. . has the full sympathy of the court.” Words and Acts. Au honest man may fairly scoff at all philosophers and religions which are proud, ambitious, intemperate, and contradictory. It is the business of the philosophical to seok truth; it is the office of tho religious to wor ship her. The falsehood that the tongue commits is slight in compari son with what is conceived by the heart and executed by the whole man. If, professing love and charity to the human race at large, I quarrel day after day with my next neighbor; if professing that the rich can never see God, I spend in the luxuries or my household a talent monthly; if, professing to place so much confi dence in his word, that, in regard to wordly weal, I need take no care for to morrow, I accumulate stores even beyond what would be necessary, as though I quite distrusted both his providence and his veracity; if, pro fessing that, “He who giveth to the lendeth to tho Lord,” I ques tion the Lord’s security, and haggle with him about the amount of the loan; if, professing that I am their steward, I keep ninety-nine parts in tho hundred as the emolument of my stewardship—how, when God hates liars and punishes defrauders, shall I and other such thieves and hypocrites fare hereafter ? At a college, in the President's, rooms. “Well, Mr. President, are you pleased with the progress my son is making ?” * “Alas ! alas !” repiled the president “I am grieved to tell you that he is not making any progress at all. It is too bad.” * The father, radiant and joyful, as if he had fouud the solution of th problem— “ Well, there must always be some body at the bottom of the class Mr. President. Anybody who has assisted at a battle knows how joyous tho survi vors are after the danger is all over, how unconscionably good-natured they all are, and how glibly every tongue will wag. Now we have no ticed a very like condition of things among the survivors—we beg pardon hearers—at the conclusion of a long sermon. Readers of a phychological turn may be able to trace a connec tion between the two situations,— Boston Transcript. The following testimonial of a cer tain patent medicine speaks’ for itself: “Dear sir: Two months ago my wife could scarcely speak. She has taken two bottles of your “Life lle newer” and now she can’t speak at I all. Please sen Ime two more bot tles. I wouldn’t be without it.” SMALL BITS Of Vi' ious Hinds Carelessly Tc. {-ether.

It is when our budding hopes are u pped beyond recovery by some rough wihd that we are the most dis posed to picture to ourselves what flowers they might have borne if they had flourished. A dear old friend of mine used to say, with the truest Christian charity when he heard any one being con demned for some fault: “Ah, well, yes, it seems, very bad to me,because that is not my way of sinning.” Times of greatest calamity and confusion have ever been productive of great minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and tho brightest thunderbolt is elic ited from the darkest storm. Wo can easily manage if we will only take each day the burden ap pointed for it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we add to its weight the burden of to-morrow be fore we are called to bear it. God loves things because they are lovely more than we can imagine; but he has the alternative quality of loving things that are not lovely. Inconceivable is the strength of that faculty and the development of it in tho divine nature, A crazy woman, wrapped in the American flag, created a lively ex citement in a Bridgeport Metho<fi*fc meeting, the other evening, by ing up to the pulpit and crying out, “I want to tell you the Holy One will soon appear. The Master will soon be here. His name is Bar-ar- Barnum.” Trouble must have great possibil ities of blessing in it, or it would not be so common iu God’s world. Sure 3we need not dread it so, when it brings in one hand the peaceable fruits of righteousness, and in the other the joys of consolation for so many sorrowing souls. We are to bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them that despitefully use us, We are to return good for evil, that we may be perfect in the same way in which God is perfect, who mades the sun to shine on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust, alike. ho breathes upon the icy rivers and they dissolve?

There were some mad men in a certain Kentucky postoffice ft few days ago A postal card was drop ! pel into the letter-box addressed to [“Rev. John Penobscot, , llt was an ordinary card, and the Postmaster wa3 an ordinary Post master. He took it up, glanced at the address, turned it leisurely over and read: “ , , May 2,1879 —“You, to whom this card is not addretstd, and who, nevertheless, have the cheek to read it, are a con temptible, unprincipled sneak and a prying pusilanimous coward.

How the card fared with the various route ag-ols through whom it passed it is impossible to say; nor do we know whether it was read by the woman who is Postmistress at the office where the Rev.

A young man of a distinguished family was disinherited on account of his bad conduct. The President of a civil court was taking testimony in the matter, and asked a game keeper, an old soldier, what kind of language the marchioness used to the scrapegrace, her sou, iu his pres ence. “Oh, nothing out of the way, Judge, I assure you on my sacred honor. She merely said, ‘Oh you in fernal ass; you soldier of misery and conscript of woe; your face is that of a murderer.’ Those were the only somewhat disparaging remarks I heard pass on the part of his mother.” Young Fernand has a very hand somely furnished house containing a wonderful collection of arms, old pic tures, etc. Ho recently called upon one of his friends and said:— “I am very unhappy. I cannot survive these troubles. I think too much of that woman. I shall kill myself. You will innerit all I pos sess.” Yesterday Fernand was seen smok ing a cigar in a dreamy manner by bis legatee, and who timidly but re proachfully asked, him:— “Well, are you not th nking any more about that woman ?” A gentleman was passing along the Boulevard, whereupon two gen tlemen walking together spoke as follows, one to the other:— “Why did you not return his bow; that would have been but common politeness ?” “He has a bad reputation,” replied the friend who was thus hauled over the coals for-not having bowed. “You are wrong. He is a respec table fellow, and what is more, he has a cousin, about whom nobody yet has been able to eay au evil word,” retorted his friend. A lawyer was making a brilliant harrangue in court in behalf of his client, a street arab, depicting his sorrows and misfortunes, but .main taining that he had good qualities still left in him. The subject of these compliments was beginning to move about restless ly, as if he were going io make a dash of some kind. “Don’t let go of aim,” said the law yer quickly to the policemen who were in charge of th : lad, “or you will spoil my case !” “Joseph you have been sampling my rum again, and you have put water into it.’’ “Excuse me Count, but I swear that I did Dot drink any more of it.” The Count (shrugging his shoul ders) —“There you are again Joseph —always exaggerating. I do not say that you may not take a little rum if you feel you really need it, but this Ido say, that it is not fir that you should drink pure rum and I, your master, rum and water.’ A Frenchman having heard the phrase “I’ve got other iish to fry,” very readily learned its application.
