When 1 Was a Bov.
9j
Up in the attic where I slept
When I was a boy—a little boy!—
In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
Bringing a tide of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle-bed
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on each sun-browned cheek—
When I was a boy— a little boy!
And, O, the dreams, the-dreams I dreamed
When I was a boy—a little boy—
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy;
And to bring me the glimpses of time to be
Where manhood’s clarion seemed to call,
Ah. that was the sweetest dream of all —
When I was a boy—a little boy!
I d like to sleep where I used to sleep
When I was a boy—a little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep.
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint to-day,
And peace I have never known since then—
When I was a boy—a little boy!

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 6, 19G3.
Tithing.
The old Jewish law setting apart one
tenth of our means as God’s dues to be
used in furthering his plans for human
ity, is daily gaining ground among
Christians. Since this law has never
been abrogated, unless by the Apostles
counsel to set apart on the first day of
the week “as the Lord hath prospered
you,’’ it must be that one-tenth is the
minimum amount enjoined upon be
lievers as their tithe-offering to the
Lord. Over and above that is a free
will offering—the out-pouring of a
grateful heart for God’s goodness and
mercy.
How* many of us pay our tithes as we
do our taxes, because the law makes it
binding? Do we not rather count all
religious and benevolent work as free
will offerings unto the Lord, and imag
ine ourselves generous helpers of God
and our race, because of our abounding
charity!

Miss Helen Gould continues without
stint her work of brightening the lives
of the over-crowded poor in New York.
She holds her large fortune in trust, as
a steward of God’s bounty. Almost
every week we read of something she
has done to help the suffering, or stimu
late the energies of the discouraged.
Recently a cooking school has been
opened near the lovely home of Miss
Gould, where girls are instructed in
the art of properly preparing the food
so essential to health of body and mind.
This includes a wide range of accom
plishments which tend to make home
happy. Slovenly housekeeping and
unwholesome food are responsible for
much of the vice which fills our prisons
with degenerates.

Millions of dollars are annually spent
in the erection of monuments to our
beloved and illustrious dead. Imposing
shafts record their virtues, simple tomb
stones record the dates of their entrance
upon and departure from this world of
sorrow. Passers-by look, read and
forget! A better way is to build or
help build a memorial that be of perma
nent benefit.

When the parents of lovely little
Florine McEachern of Atlanta gave up
their five-year-old darling to bloom
forever in the garden of God, they
resolved to make her memory a wide
spread blessing.
They offered to duplicate any amount
raised by the Woman’s Home Mission
ary Society up to SIO,OOO for the pur
pose of building a hospital to be called
the “Florine McEachern Hospital.’’
This hospital is also to be a training
school for nurse-deaconesses, and so
supply a great and growing need.
*_*
*• j ■
How is this money to be raised?
Largely by children over five years old
who are supplied with mite boxes which
are to be opend once a quarter at a
special gathering for this purpose.
Everything will be done to make this
“Opening of the Mite Boxes” a gala
time for the happy members of the
“McEachern Brigade.”
No other dues necessary to member
ship. Call on, or send to Miss Bessie
Bickers for your mite box.
***
But others may have a share in this
beautiful work. Invalids, shut-ins,
bereaved ones, any who are unable to
engage in active benevolent work, may
also have their mite-boxes and thus
become helpful to this brigade of
joyous workers. Make one of your
little favorites glad by asking for a
mite-box to be brought to vou.

The Entomologist’s Etymology.
For some time a destruction insect
lias been damaging the shrubbery at
Alta Vista cemetery, and the city fath
ers appealed to the State Government
for protection against its ravages. State
Entomologist, W. M. Scott, who is up
in G when it comes to bugology, sent
the council the name of the worm and
a recipe for a preventative spray. He
says the pest is what is known as the
bag-worm, which is destructive es
pecially to cedar and arbor vitae. He
gave the technical, scientific name of
the pest as “Thyridopteryx ephemerae
formis.”
Deputy Clerk Perino Boone read Dr.
Scott’s communication to the City
Council and pronounced this barbed-wire
specimen of etymology: “Et Cetera.”
He afterwards pronounced it unpro
nounceable. He carried it carefully to
the city physician, Dr. Aiken Smith, for |
diagnosis or dissection. Finally he had |
his whiskers cut off, and even with a 25-
year growth of whiskers sacrificed in
the interest of this knotty complication
of etymology and entomology he had
to give it up.
Mr. Boone says Dr. Scott sent him
this name carefully enclosed in stout
parenthases, and he is sure it is the only
one like it in existence. He kindly lent
it to the Eagle to put on exhibition in
its columns, but he prizes it highly, for
while the State bug department may
have some other specimens as rare and
;as anonymous as the “thyridopteryx
1 ephemeraeformis,” he is sure he hasn’t
1 another one just like it.

Dysentery Cured Without the Aid of a
Doctor.
“I am just up from a hard spell of the
flux,” (dysentery), says Mr. T. A. Pin
ner, a well known merchant of Drum
mond, Tenn. “I used one small bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera, and
Diarrhea Remedy and w*as cured with
out having a doctor. I consider it the
best cholera medicine in the world.”
There is no need of employing a doctor
when this remedy is used, for no doc
tor can prescribe a better medicine for
bowel complaint in any form either for
children or adults. It never fails and is
pleasant to take. For sale by M. C.

Activity at the Pirates.
After a delay of a short while work
was resumed again last Friday at the
Pyrites Mine in this county by Messrs.
Pratt & Baldwin. They have engaged a
larger number of hands than usual and
commenced buisness in earnest. The
delay was made so as to give owners an
opportunity to make arrangements to se
cure railroad facilities. This they have
done and in the course of a few months
we expect to see that place one of the
liveliest camps in the county. They
have proposed to furnish company build
ing a railroad to that mine a large quan
tity of ore each day, so as to make it of
interest to them, and now w*ork has com
menced so as to enable the company to
be able to carry out its contract.

He Had Grit.
Robt. Wilkinson of Banks county lost
a valuable hundred dollar mule two
weeks ago. Dissection revealed a quan
tity of sand weighing about two pounds
packed hard in a certain part of the en
trails. We are not able to give the tech
nical name. Exactly how such a quan
tity of sand accumulated there is a mys
tery to all those who were present ar
the dissection, however the suspicion ‘ is
that the animal while drinking swal
owed the sand. The creek in the pasture
is very shallow and carries a great deal
of drift sand. We publish the above
for the benefit of our readers. We ad
vise all to see that your horse is not

joined them and they went together on
