Our Son. He came with a squirm and a squall, j He kicked witji a roar and a bawl; His nose was a pug, Like the car of a jug, And Ms howl like a night caterwaul. His hair was as black as your hat; Much more like his mamma than nap; With his nose on the rise, Stir le qui vive for flies, He resembles his mamma iu that. But there’s always some trait To redeem, ’Twas so in this case, it did seem, H is heavenly eyes Were the blue of the skies; ne resembles papa in this. Rabun Gup—lts Past and Present. We have recently been asked a good many questions concerning Rabun Gap, the prospects for a railroad through it, etc. There is a history connected with Rabun Gap of which the whole country seems at present oblivions. It’s j really strange that so little should ’ be known outside of the Tennessee , Valley, of the true character of this ■ remarkable Gap and the topo graphy of the country on either side of it. In .speaking of some recent surveys ordered by the gov ernment, one • gentleman says in a letter to us that he never heard it suggested that the Tennessee nivei could be navigated through North Carolina. We know that the Uni ted States government, at one time, entertained the idea of connecting the Savannah and Tennessee rivers by a canal through Rabun Gap. A survey was ordered and Capt. Bache, Lieut. Pleasanton and Capt. Wragof the United States Topo graphical Engineers, were detailed ; t.o conduct the survey. We were j then but a boy, some 12 or 14 years of age, and have no recollec tion of what was said of the expe rimental survey on the South, or Savannah side of the Blue Ridge. But the engineers worked up to and through the Gap to t(ie head waters of the Tennessee river. ’They run the level from the Gap to VV 011 Fork, Betty’s creek and Mud creek, with a view to carry them into the Gap. While they were engaged in surveying these streams they made their headquarters at Gen. Andrew Miller’s, near the Gap. Having obtained the desired levels on these streams, they next ran the level ior Middle creek, and Coweta, and in tended to run to the Tennessee. When they came down towards Middle creek they made our father’s house, at Smith’s Bridge, their headquarters. This is only ten miles south of Franklin. Dnrit g tbe running of die level up Middle creek, Capt. Wrag was stricken with apoplexy as they were re turning one afternoon from their day’s work. It was about a mile from home. They brought him down home, where he lingered a few days and died. This suspended operations on the survey, lor Capt. bache and Lieut. Pleasanton left with the body of Capt. Wrag and we have no recollection that they ever returned to the work. Ihe practicability of carrying tbe streams this corps surveyed into tbe Gap will be readily seen when rte consider that the average water fall from the summit in the Gap to Franklin is only some seven or eight feet to the mile. Hon. John C. Calhoun took a deep interest in this survey, and no doubt received from those engineers his idea so often expressed, that Rabun Gap was the most practica ble pass through the Blue Ridge, south of Virginia. We do not recollect the date when the survey was made. We suppose it was somewhere from 1825 to 1830. This, however, does not matter, materially. The gov ernment was interested, the people all along both sides of the Savam nah, from Clayton to Augusta, were ! interested and excited,as our friend, Jesse R. Siler, says he well remem I bers. Capt. Bache left the impres si on upon us that the project was a , feasible one. We also know that with comparatively small cost a considerable volume of the lermes see waters can be thrown through the Gap into the Savannah. And now wo ask, in all candor, what other gap in the Blue Ridge is like i this? Wo have given tacts as we recollect them, and have done so because they contain a history to the preservation of which Western North Carolina is entitled —a histo j rv which shows how deeply inter | ested the national mind was for connecting the West and the Sou Hi iu the better days of the republic, when the most brilliant talent and the profoundest statesmanship rule*l in the national councils. “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” Since, however, railways have been invented and cun he construct ed through mountain passes at less cost than canals with locks and dams, nothing has been said of this original project. A survey was made for a railway from Anderson, S. C., through Rabun Gap to Knox ville, Tenn. This was a Chatleston scheme and at that time had the sanction of the State of South Car olina. It was in ante-bellum times when the best talent of tbe dear old State ruled in her councils. Nothing was said of any conse quence at tliat time of lines run - ning from Port Royal, Savannah, Atigtista ( Athens, Brunswick, Ma con and Atlanta, to Rabun Gap, as connecting lines. It seems, how ever, after the expenditure of sever al millions by Charleston and the State, that Charleston has kicked off’ the Blue Ridge enterprise. But Athens, Ga , with a penetration and foresight worthy the-sound com mercial sense and great talent for which her people are justly noted, has taken np this enterprise, and through the North East Georgia charter and company, are pressing the work steadily but surely to wards Clayton and Rabun Gap. They are aiming for tlie N. C. and Ga. Statp line, only 14 miles south of Franklin. This is an honest company, who do not move by spasmodic jerks, and who do not be lieve that railroads arc built by gas. They are prudent gentlemen, who are resolved not to involve themselves and their road in inex tricable debts that will ultimately deprive them of it. When they build the road they expect to use it and enjoy its profits aud benefits They will soon have their trains running to the Air Line, and have already commenced the work of grading northward in the direction of Clayton. The people all along the line are in full sympathy with it, and as the wink progresses are giving it ma terial aid. Whenever the work readies the State line, Macon will do her duty, you may rely upon that. We do not expect to take a Christmas excursion upon the train from Franklin in 1875, nor to cele brate the arrival of the trains here by a Fonith of July dinner in 1876. We were cured of such spasms years ago. But in a reasonable time and-with certainty we look for the completion of this work. The men who have charge of it under stand its geographical and topo graphical superiority. They are apprised of its value and know its advantages for connecting the West with the South, and will not remain idle until the trains run from Athens to Knoxville. It were foo'ish to attempt to conceal the- fact ihat this route has been treated as a speckled bird by a great manv individual and out side railroad interests. These jeal ousies, however, only show reffec tively the true merit and commer cial value ot this route. Our word for it, it will one of these days come out in brilliant plumage. Is there not room for this road as olhets? Is there not a vast amount of material to be removed from this immediate section for which there is now a constant demand? . Our motto is, build all of them; and let not one throw obstacles in tbe, way of others. Let each line stand up on its own merits, and when the different road* are completed, they will settle by the laws ot demand and the merits of the road all ques tions of freight and travel. And now that an honest company has this enterprise deeply at heart, with a clear conviction of the vast commercial interests involved in its final consummation, We are, with out boasting, content. —“5.,” in Athens Watchman. ' —An Irishman went into a gin mill in Louisville, took a diink.came out. lie stood a few minutes, when things commenced workin’. He giabbed his stomach, twisted his face out of shape, rushed back into j the gin-mill and shouted to the bar tender: “Say, I axed you for whis ky, an’ve gave ti e the wrong bottle; hand mo a barrel o’ water, until 1 1 pour it down an’ drown the torch light procession that’s goin’ through me this blissed rninit.

'Aomen are like everything else in this world—a very mixed up af fair. According to our own observa tion, there are Women good and women bad, Women gay and women sud, Women big and women small, Women short and women tall, Women fat and women lean. Women sweet and women mean, Women young and women old, Women bought and women sold, Women poor and women rich, And a good many more women sich. The first woman in this world was Eve. Eve was a bad girl. She didn’t belong to good templars. Eve liked apple cider too well—slie wanted hers dry. We never saw Eve, but they say she was a pretty girl. Her follow was a cliap by the name of Adam. We have never went to school with him. Eve was like the rest of her sisters—just tell her not to do a thing and she would be sure to do it. Eve must have been a country girl. Bhe didn’t caie much tor fashion, and she made, her own qlothes without a sewing machine. She would he rather behind the times should she visit us now. Some women are very pretty We don’t like pretty women—there are always so many fellows aiound them. They remind us of a lot of flies on a -molasses stick. We like the molasses, but—bother the flics. Good women are plenty in this Country, but they will never tell you of it; you have got to trail 'em out yourself. Bad women are everywhere. They are like rotten apples in a barrel of good ones—apt to throw their decayed influence around them. They will always try to make you believe they are good. Don’t take* a bad woman. She is counterfeit treasure. Look out for trade mark. • ■ay women are jolly (qjlows al ways on a laugh. They make you feel good clear to your sleeve but tons. A sad woman ought to wear spectacles with pink-colored glass in them. That would make her look at the woild in a different light. We don’t know that we like a big woman better than a little one. If she is so big that a step-ladder is lequired to kiss tier, we most re spectfully decline in favor of the small one. As we reflect further on this subject, we come to the con clusion that the small ones are always preferable. They have a tendency to bang themselves— around a fellow and we want to furnish the material lor a banging post. We bate a mean woman. We feel like saying “deliver us from evil,” whenever we see one. But give us a sweet woman—one of na ture’s own children—with rosy cheeks and loving eyes; a pure soul and a healthy body, refined in taste, developed in intellect; be she poor or rich, young or old, large or small —to such a one wo could say, “fly unto our arms, darling; we love you.” — • tm Homebody’s Darling. No matter how low a man may sink in morals; how terrible the crimes which he commits ; how ut terly to be abhorred he may become in the eyes of the world; or how re gardless of the dictates of reason or the promptings of his bet tec nature, he is ‘'somebody’s dai ling,” and there is at least within the boundaries of this wide, wide world, some heart which think of him with lingering, yearning sympathy. Some being who would do him good,and amidst even the fiercest frowning of a contemp tuous world, would smile upon him with a tender kindness. Thank Heaven, it is so,; and that for the most wicked, desolated wretch,there is even in the world a portion,how ever small, of sympathy and love, Many a reckless, guilty son, many a wayward, sinning daughter, were they to return, would find an open door and a warm heart to welcome them, and though the light which guide their footsteps on their return he but fai it glimmering of a wish penetrating to the outer world through an unthatclied cot of some lone widow. Yet would the welooin ing grasp of a mother’s or sister’s hand, and the affectionate kindling of tire eyes, be such as should bring peace and quiet to any bosom. A troy bigamist ran out of a back door while his two wive* were fighting over the question as to which should have him, and has not I 1 since beeu seen. [l2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Maid 0!

HOW to Spell “Indian”—A Onnbiiry Spelling 3lutcli. The Danbuty News says; An impromptu spelling school was inaugurated in Merills grocery, Saturday evening. A young man, who last winter aided Mr. Couch in the management of the north centre school, conducted the school. The first word he gave out was Indian. The first man said,“l-n, in, d-i n, din —lmiin.” The teacher shook liis head. “Well) 1 declare, I thoi I had it,” said the speller, with keen disappointment; but lie picked up when the second man started and eyed him with considerable anxiety. The next man witli desperate earnst ness, said, “1-n, in, d-e, dc, inde, u n, un— -1 ndeun.” Then lie sighed and gazed anX ionsly at the teacher, while an old party at the end of the bench, who was watching the cllorts with dirisivc amusement, turned the quid in his mouth and said: “You ain’t within a rod on it; but go on; let some more try.” The teacher told the second speller that he also had failed, whereupon he sighed again. Then the third man took hold. He squared himself upon the seat and hold ing np his finger, and with becoming dignity, ticked off the letters ns follows: “I n, in, d-a, da, i-n, in,— lndain.” The old party on the end of the lienclt who had been teetering on tbe precipice of a laugh while this effort was being made, snickered out iu a loud guffaw at its conclusion. “ Well, that’s a spell for you, I mns’ Ray.” And then he laughed again. The speller said nothing, but his face turned very red when his. failure was announced, and cast a baleful glance at the old par ty, whose turn had now come and who said: “And now I’ll tackle that little word.” and he smiled all over his face, while his eyes winked witli merriment, and looking sideways from one to the other, lie spell ed rapidly— “l-n in, g-i n gin, Ingin.” His smile deepened into a broad grin as he watched the chagrin flush to the countenance of the other spellers, who had been misled all the time with a wrong pronunciation ot the whole word. He was grinning with all his might,when the teacher said: “A’ou ain’t got the right word.” “Wli ah-ot?” and he bore down on the? brazenfaced youth a look calculated to freeze him to the bone. “Indian is the word. There is no such word as Ingin,” said the teacher. “Oh, there ins't hey? (sarcastically). You know of course. You know all about it. You pimply—” “But, my dear sir, I— ” “You needn’t apologize to me,” shout ed the old party, stamping the floor with his cane. “Who be you, anyway, put ling on your airs about me? I could twist your scrawny neck off of you in two minutes, you white livered puppy, you.” “But, my dear sir, let me ex ” “If tisn't ingin, is it?” ground out the old chap between his teeth. “It's some thin’ else, I suppose. O yes! you know, of course. And a nice one you are with your eddication. Why don't your moth er send back them apples she borrowed a month ago?” and he looked around the store with a triumphant glare of sar casm. “But j 11st hear me—” “Hear you! Who are you any way? What's your father? When’s he drawed a sober breath, I should like to know? An’ where!* your sn.art brother, Ben? In prison somewhere I’ll be bound. Oh, I know yer hull family like a book. And a wnss lot than they are can’t lie found in this neighborhood, and you just put that in your pipe and smoke it, you egregri ous ass. Talk to me about spellin',” and the old man, stamping h s cain again, stalked passionately out of the store. The lesson was postponed. An lowa paper tells of a cham pion little girl baby out there “whose face is so small that her parents have to kiss her through a pipe stem.” If the practice had been adopted in this city of kissing grown up babies through a forty-rod pneu matic tube,we shouldn’t have to lake out our pocket handkerchief’s and weep as much as we do. —Danlury Argus.

Lovic Fierce,D. !>., in speak ing of his life pays the following noble and just tribute to his wife: “I wns iparried when I was twenty-four years, six mouths and four days old, We lived togCiftpf forty-one years and seven months— which long period only matured and mellowed flist lov* into richer af fection. She closed tier noble Jife, May I4ih, 1850, while T was absent in attendance upon our second gen eral conference at St. Louis, Mo, Having finished her domestic duties aud lead her morning lesson, she sat down to work, and only exclaiming: “\Vhat#puin in tny head.” expired instantly. During her last years, next to her children, her delight was in an orphan asylum over which she presided: and upon my first vis it lo hor I'iC.slf grave I found thesd orphan mourners gathered around if» and weeping lor a mother gone— a memorial, more precious far, than the jewels of a queen. She was one of many duplicates of Solomon’s in spired conception of a true woman, concerning we might always think he despaired of fimlingevenone. The inspiration, however, was not to illustrate their scarcity, but lo magnify their virtues. Those whom he calls virtuous,are those in whonl moral courage, adequate to life’s de mands, abound •; such as meets its em -rgencies with promt executive firmness and ski IE I will be pardoned frtr thus Inlrd-' dtlcing my deceased wife into this letter. It is due to her memory; and my apology is, that much ot the credit awarded me in those days when 1 was in labors more abundant, was due to her. It is truthfully said that thero being a way is ol noavail, unless there bo a will; and it may be truthfully said that where there is a will without a way nothing can be effectually done. But in n»y laborious minisstry, everything conspired to its accomplishment I had the vvill| and she made the way. If Halt sick, and open to persuasion to lie up,she was up early, getting everything ready, and with a thousand winning ways, persuaded me of?—always adding: ‘T can bear anything belter, than for you to disap point a congregation,’ But 1 will not say here what 1 always felt in my heart. lam recalling those pre cious memories because I want <4 tanson for saying to my fitends, that the wives of ilinercnt methodise preachers are models ol womanly glory, when husband and wile aid cast in tbe same grand mould of self-saciifico for Christ. His char acteristic of a true woman that when she accepts the sphere of an itiner-- ent minister’s wife, who intends to fill it ; and theie are now in thisconneC lion many of the finest illustrations of womanly greatness and true morr al courage that are lurnished by tbe sex, I will therefore only say this much more: A woman who would marry an itincrciit inethodist preacher wi bout intending to add to his usefulness is—well, simply a human creature of the feminine gender. But the class described by Solomon have added a constellation of bright stars to our well-won glo ry in our self-sacrificing toil tor the gospel’s sake Many of 1 hem are living a benediction to their hus bands and a blessing to tbe Church of God. Many have passed a way praise to their memory, arid honof to their dust!
