That the dear ones die?
Ood walks daily in his garden
While the sun shine hi./h:
In that garden there are I'oses

And lie gazes round delighted
Witli the lovely sight:
If he marks one gayly blooming,
Than the rest more fair,
He will pause and look upon it,
Full of ten ler care:
And the beauteous rose he gathers
In his bosom lies
But on e: rth are tears and sorrow,
For a dear one dies!

2’oisoiihig by Peach Ket-nels.
BY E. M. PENDLETON.
The recent poisoning of a wedding
party at Dalton, by eating custard fli
voted with peaedi kernels, has caused
us to send you the following scientific
facts:
Peach kernels naturally are nut
poisonous, but may become so under
the action of heat, either in the animal
stomach or during processes of cooking.
They contain, in common with the bark,
leaves and kernels of cherries and bit
ter almond, and some other members o‘
the family Rosace as, two substances
known in chemistry as amygdalin and
synnpfasc. Rv digesting peach kernels
in water forsevera! hours at an increased
temperature (1000 degrees Farenheit
or more), the latter principles acting as
■i ferment on the former (benzoic
aldehyde). This oil contains a large
per cent, of prussic acid, the most dead
ly poison in nature, When freshly pre
pared, a single drop placed upon the
tongue of a eat or small animal will
produce instant dentil.
AHhbugh n> 1 '"• * m-duTne in ex
treme dilution, it sometimes produces
death, as in the case of the lamented
Dr. Raker, of Macon, who took an over
dose through mi- take to encourage bis
patient to take it. The first symptoms
arc headache, giddiness and nervous
irritability, followed by drowsiness,
blindness an 1 faiutness.
It is a sedative p ison, lienee ]. ost~
mortem examinations exhibit no abra.
sions of the stomach, and of no other
organs, only congestion of the brain,
which is produced by other diseases in
articvlo mortis. Unfortunately for the
cause of justice and humanity, chemi
cal science can throw but little light on i
the investigati n of poisoning in such
cases, as the smallness of the amount
capable of producing death, and its dis
position soon to be resolved into other
substances, prevents its detection by
the most sub'le analysis.
The remedies are chlorine ammonia,
artificial respiration and cold affusion.
Where a physician is not at hand large
doses of hartshorn may keep up the
flagging energies of life.
We tinders! nd that it is very fash
ionable for ladies to use peach kernels
lor flavoring custards and preserves. —
There is much more risk attending tli
former than the latter, as custards are
eaten at once, before the prussic acid
has been dissipated into its basic ele
ment. Preserves are generally kept
for a time, and thus lose their pnisnu
mis qualities. Some seasons develop
more of the noxious principles in fruits
than others, and some varieties of
peaches and cherries have more of them
than others. Asa general rule, the
more bitter the kernels, the more prus
sic acid they are capable of evolving.
One Winston was (and probably 13
now) a negro preacher in Virginia, and
his ideas of theology and human na
tore were often very original as the fol
lowing anecdote may prove.
A gentleman thus accosted the oid
gentleman one Sunday :
“Winston, I understand you believe
every woman has seven devils. How
can you prove it ?”
“Well, salt, did you never read in
de Bible how seven dabbles were cast
out’n Mary Magdalen ?”
“Oh. yes! I’ve read that.” /
“Did you ebber bear of 'em bein’
oist out of any odder woman, eah V*
No, I never did.”
“Well, den, all de odders got ’em
yet.”

A mirror in Ihe
A most remarkable discovery is re
ported from the astronomical observ ati m
established by the Russian government
several years ago at Pauilateska, the
highest point, with one exception,on the
Himalayan range. For several months
a peculiar bright spot had been dis
covered, shilling from the extreme edge
of the moon’s disk, at a point where in>
mountains break the continuity ot its
perimeter. This light suddenly disap
peared and remained invisible for near
ly twelve months. It has lately reap
peared in greater brilliancy than ever,
and the immense power of the telescope
attached to the above observatory, s>>
well known in the scientific world, has
developed the fact that the light pr >•
cceds from some huge burnished sub
stance, acting as a mirror, which must
be at least 100 feet in diameter. The
most astonishing thing in the matter is
the almost complete proof that this is
actually a mirror of artificial construc
tion, and the theory of the savans at
Pamlateska is, that it is erected for ob
servations of a scientific character..inn
cipally to observe the phases of the
earth’s surface.

height of that portion of the moon
which is turned toward the earth, not
only through t]ie well known laws of

serface presented towards us, but only
renders it uninhabitable. It is sup
posed that tlie side turned from us may
have an atmosphere suitable for an ani
mal life, and that intelligent beings ob*
serving the li.-do of light shed around
its horizon by reflections from tho earth,
may have taken this means to ascertain
the cause. Some ingenious device to
place an irror at a height where ani*-

result. It is tn tie hoped that this dist
eovery may lead to others in regard to
our interesting satellite.

lie sat one side the room in a big
white-oak rocking chair. She on the
other side in a little white-oak rocking
chair. A long-eared deerhound, snap
ping at flies, was by his side ; a basket
of sewing by hers, lioth rock inces
santly. that is the young people, not
the dog .and basket. IJe sighs heavily
and looks nut the west window at a
crape myrtle tree; she sighs lightly
and gazes out the eait window—at the
turnip patch. At last lie remarks:
“This is mighty goetj weather to pieJfl
cotton.”
“ 'Tis that, if we only had any to
pick ”
The rocking continues.
“What’s your (log’s name ?”
“Connv.”
Another sigh-broken stillness.
“What is he good fur?”
“What is he good fur ?” said he, ab
stractedly.
“Yonr dog, Cooney.”
‘ Fur ketehin’ possums.”
Silence of half an hour.
“fie looks like a deer dog.”
“Who looks like a deer dog?”
“Cooney.”
“He is—hut he’s kinder
an’ gr-ttin’ old an’ slow now. An’ he
ain’t no ’count on a cold trail.”
In the quiet ten minutes that ensued
she took two stitches in her quilt. It
was a gorgeous affair, that quilt was,
made by the pattern called “Rose of
Sharon." She i* very particular about
the nomenclature of her quilts, and
frequently walks fifteen miles to get a
new pattern witlt a “real pretty name.”
“Your ma raisin’ many chickings?”
“Forty odd”
Then more rocking, and, somehoow,
after awhile, the big rocking chair and
the little rocking-chair were jammed
side by side.
“How trany ha* your ma got ?”
“How many what ?”
“Chickens.”
“Nigh on to a hundred.”
Ry this tin e the chairs ore so close
together that rocking is impossible.
“The minks cat all ours.”
Then a long silence reigns. At last
he observes :
“.Makiu’ quilts ?’’
“Yes,” she replies, brightening up,
“I’ve just finished a '(blarin' Eugul of
(Jraze'cl,’ a 'Sitting Sun,’ and a ‘Na*
sinii’- Pride.’ Have you ever saw the
, ; (hit
‘Yellow Rose of the Parary ?”
“No.”
More silence; then he says :
“Do you love cabbage ??
“I do that.”
Prcsjntly his hand is accidentally
placed on hers. She does not know it
at least does not seem to be aware of
it. Then after a half hour spent in
sigh*, C' ughing and clearing of throats,
he suddenly says:
“I’se a great a min 1 to bite you.’’
“What you great a-mind to bite ms
fur?” '
“Rase you won’t have me.”
“Kase you ain’t axed me.”
“Well, now, I ax you.”
“Then, now, I has you.”
1 hen Coony dreams he hsars a sound
of kissing.
The next day the young man goes to
Tigerville after a marriage license. —
