LIGHTS IMG WARES.
.
Bright and cheering the sattliine is

When it stretches its gtai, 'h gems e'er the
f »eai' J"
And lights up prairies w*h glints of its fire.
Whe.p it shoeti its long rtff .of penciled light
At6ws&t the still gloom W forest glades,
And paints roseate hues owiall topped trees,
As tine dusky glpom «f drapenod foliage
iadeso. f
How all nature seems tn have waked from
death, i
When it scatters away*re death pall of
night,
When arousing, the air is full of sweet sounds,
And the air is full of love-teaming light.
When embattled hosts are drawn up iu array,
The sun iu its splendor around them throws
A halo of glory that reflects from their steel
On hearts that grow fearless in front of their
foes.
But there 1& a light that shines afar
Like the mild radiance of a gleaming star
That gives more light to the human soul
Than sunlight can give to the changing
world.
And that light pervades the whole being,
And lights up coriiders that the eye wanes in
seeing;
"Tis religion, a light, that heara on its face.
The impress of its God who dwells in limitless
space.

When evening shades begin to streUli their
spectral forms
Ac/.-oss t'ne fields around the cot

Ajnd woodland voices still to
As day and all its varied charms
Gone ! the sun with all its beaming light,
The sky liai lost its purple with the night,
And the lone felon in his dungeon cell
Finds ail about him dark and drear and still.
And all is dusk and gloom and shade
Save i hat the sky is thick inlaid
Within, riaj stars that give a fitful glare,
And now aud then a meteor biases through llie
air.
Man ceases from his toil and sits around his
hearth,
Or deep in slumber .forgets of worldly cares of
earth ;
So nature sleeps and the cold stars keep their
guard
O’er the kingly couch and the lamb upon the
sward.
But there Is a night whose shades are gloomier
still
Than any night time here, and by far more
chill,
And that is\vlien.all hopes of Heaven are fled,
And man is left alone with death, despair end
dread.

A Beautiful Incident.
In the cathedral of Limerick there
ha Dgs a chime of bells which were
cast in Italy by an enthusiast in his
trade, who fixed his home near the
monastery where they were first
bung, that he might daily enjoy their
sweet and solemn music. In some
political revolution the bells were
taken away to some distant land,
and the maker himselt became a ref.
ugee and exile. HU wanderings
brought him after many years, to
Ireland. On a calm and beautiful
evening, the vessel which bore him
floated on the placid bosom of the
Shannon—suddenly the evening
chimes pealed from the cathedral
towers, His practiced ear caught
the sweet sound, and he knew that
his lost treasures were found. His
early, his old friends, his beloved
native land all the best associations
oi his life, were in those sounds.—
He la>d himself back in the boat,
crossed bis arms upon his breast and
listened to the music. The boat
reached the whart, but still he lay
there silent and motionless. Tney
spoke to him but he did not answer.
They went to him, but his spirit had
fled. The tide of memories that
came vibrating through his heart at
the well-known chime had snapped
its string !
It was this incident that suggest
ed to Moore his song of the ‘-Bivens
ing Bell,” As Moore is not so much
read now as he used to be a quarter
of a century ago, we reprint the
linos, as they may not be familiar to
soma of young readears; .
Those evening bells, those evening bells—
How many a taletheir music tells,
Os youth aud bone, and that sweet time
When last I hoard their soothing chime.
Those joyous hours have passed away,
And many a heart that then was • gay ■
Within the tomb new darkly dwells
And hear no more those evening- bells.
Thus ’Swill be when I am gone
That tuneful peal shall still' ring on,
And'other bards shall wail the de Is
Aud sing thy praise sweet evening hells.

have the ho :or 10 be associated with
an order that is so pure in its pur
poses, so politic in its progress and
practices, and s> unirammeleu b,
party spirit, political fee.ing, or de
sire of public prais ■: being sit sfieti
to reach up and bring into its wel
come embrace the h gh b>rn. or to
reach down and lift up from the mire
the poverty stricken creature, who
in his rags, wretchedness and de
baucheries has perchance forgot his
God, and a'mosi driven away th-'
remembrance of a mother’s prayers,
and the phantom of her tear-stained
face. I say that lam pro'id that I
belong to the order, and we should
all be, for it s rikes at the root of an
evil that is to-day holding sway over
more right 1 >yal subjects than ihe
Queen of England and the Emerald
Isle, or the l imed Kmg William (f
Germany, or any other poientate
that sways a sceptre or that wears a
diadem. What is the evil and what
are the effects it is producing ? The
evil, in plain language, is liquor and
the love of it. And under the head
of liquor a myriad of drinks
and beverages, with as many name3
and euphoneous titles as the merx
chant and manufacturer has brands
for his tobacco and cigars, and one
diftering from another only, that
each in its distance from the best,
gets meaner and meaner still, aud
each retrograde brings it into a still
more circumscribed compass, until
we have what is called, and proper
ly called, ‘‘popskull,”
These beverages are dealt out aU
over our land by human hands, and
men drink them and pay down their
money for them, and both parties
are satisfied—the one that he is do
ing a lawful and legitimate business,
(God save the rnaik) and the other
that he is in no and inger—and yet all
the while he is neiring a vortex that
is as de*p as hades, with the syren
whispering in his ear the soft tnuen
does of safety, until he is where he
cannot retrace his misguided steps.
And yet we find plenty of men who
say it is a good thing in its place.—
Why it is the mildew of good soci-
ety —it is the canker worm of happi
ness and the mother of poverty, woe
and wretchedness. It dethrones
reason, and is the arch enemy of ed
ucation and enlightenment. If a
man sirayly ruin himself, blight
his own prospects, ami debase his
own physical and intellectual energy
and strength, it were but a s nail
thing, anp of little consequence com
paratively speaking, but when we
attempt to calcula'e the injury of his
example, the neglected mental, reli
gious or even moral training of his
offspring, when we see the avenues
he leaves open, and through which
his tsirild.reri, and his children’s cfpl
jdren trail in the habiliments of igno
jrance and sin, we shudder at the
mere thought of Jfs being a good
thing in its placed Why, (here is no
calcinating, even in a measure, the
broad sweep of that it fakes, for it
reaches from sea to sea and irom shore
to shore,, and scatters its poison and
sfitne wherever it reaches.—-
To attempt to trace its track of rot
tenness and ruin were to attempt to
keep pace with a tornado.
But they tell us, “why I am not
going to meke a dog bi myself—l
drink it because it does rt e no litrtn
—I don’t drink enough of it to hurt.”
The question naturally arises, do
you drink enough to do you any
good—does it make you a hear ier,
It ulihier„more vigorous man—does
it make you more fit to transact bus-"
in ss —is ynur h-ad cooler and your
reasoning powers more vigorous ?
Does wa king up to the b tr and tak
ing a drink make you feel to a g eat
or extent the strength, beamy aud tri
umph of your manhood?
You have a son grown, perhap?.
Do you ever show him how manly
a practice it is by asking hint up to
t ike a drink with you—give hi n a
toast, which, ofc>n se, would be out
of place it it did not word to suit the
occasion ? There are few fathers
who would like for their sons to see
them at a bir drinking and toasting
with men that they would warn
th-m (their hoys) agains’ associating
with. Here is the evil in a great
measure. That drink which is so
essential brings you an I that intem
perate neighbor of yours where you
are, in common politeness, obliged
to be “hail fellows well mei.” And
do you know that you are telling
hun by your actions that you ap
prove his course ? Aud do you know
that he argues with your son to
drink wi ll hull, saying, “ why there
is "110 iu it—your father has
been (Lifting ever since I can re

we have.”

But where is its place ? When w--1
look over the list ol crimes perpetra I
ted—crimes that in
darkness, enormity a id
incredulous, were it :
see written under them
dallible and significant the word ‘in
temperance’ we would be astounded.
The list of ignorance, want an I
woe vvou'd equally astound us if the
same significmt words did not peer
on us Irom the escutcheon of theii
ragged banners. But where it ex
ists we are not surprised, tor it and
they are “cheek by jowl” cronies,
and go hand in h tnJ.
But brothers and sisters, it is not
necessary fu me to weary you with
wh it you all kno .v and see every day
and what the outside world knows as
well as we do. Let us strive as we
hive done only with mire persistence
to check in a 1 honorable ways the
fell destroyer. We have in Qur order
some ot the best and noblest and
most praiteworihy citizens of the
county who are with th’e might of
their right arm striking terror into
the camp of the “Philistines.” But
there are good and noble men out
side of our ranks that would be an
honor to any order or to any society ;
but not these alone—from the low
est to the highest let our arms be
outstretched to take them in, and to
weiomethe n, and in com non to
wage war upon intemperance, and
by a united and continue 1 example,
and unrelaxed energy and co-opera
tion to make our order a vast imple-
ment ot destruction to the enemy.
Why, there is not a nobler obj-C'
than we have under the sun, it is
to make men rational and exlesmcd
who haxe thrown away their indi
vidual respect, and their respect for
the loved ones. It is to make the
dull eye of the neglected wife bright
with happiness an I hope, and bring
back to her the antitype of her youth
ful days and her youug love—and
to bring new roses and cause
them t-» twine themselves about the
doorway and lend their bright colors
to the cheek *f childhood and. inno
cence, It is to make joy and plenty
household pats, where want and
woe reveled in rags. It is to stand
as a beacon light to warn the unwa*
ry and the young to turn their foot*
steps ere they plant them on the
quicksands that will suck them into
their seductive embrac s.
At a'l times we would say, and
under all circumstances, be not harsh
but kind and persuasive. By a cut
ting remark or a sneer you may drive
farther away, ins ead of drawtag, as
you wish, under the broad canopy
of Jovo and reform that reaches over
us, the erring ones.
And to our good sisters, in con
clusion, I would sty that you are
with us in the work heart and hand,
| aud .as we do not undervalue your
NO. 39
1 indispensable labqjrs, and your far
out reaching capacities to do good
and accomplish much in the cause,
we beg you not to relax your efforts
or undervalue your capabilities, lor
your influence with, us as well as
with the outside clement that we are
all combatting, will be convincing
and great, as it always has been,
it will always be. Thanking you
all. for vonr kind attention and beg
ging you to accept my wishes for
■ your future happiness and the con
| tinued prosperity of our common
Lodgf, I submit my remarks.

A farmer In Louisa county, \ a.,
one nirtht recently, hearing a noise
about bis corn house, went out with
a double-barrelled shot gun. and see
ing negro, bred killing him instantly.
Upon examination lie discover, and
that the mat, he shot at was sitting
upon a lever which bid been insert
in a crack, and the house b ulily
lilted up, while two others were be
neath, g ttiug out the corn. As the
man fell from the lever the house

It was 8) dry wo could’t spare
water to put in our whisky.
The grass was so dry that every
time the wind blew it flew around
like so much ashes.
There wasn’t a tear sheJ at a fu
neral for a month.
The sun dried up all the cattle,
and burnt olf the hair till they looked
like Mexican dogs, and the sheep all
like poodle puppt s, they shrink up
so.
V/e had to soak all our hogs to
make ’em lipid swill, and if any cat
tle were killed in the morning, they’d
be dried beef at dark.
The woods and ied up so that the
farmers chopped seasoned timbers
all through August, and there ain’t
a match through all the country —in
fact, no wedding since the widiw
Glenn married old Baker, three
months ago.
What tew grasshoppers are left
are all skin and legs,rpnl I didn’ hear

with a soft towel, and while yet
damp shake ilia starch-bag all over
them and rub it in. if he effect is
most agreeable.
A Word to the Wise is Sufficient.
From well-considered returns
made to this department, J, think I
am luliy warranted in giving the
opinion, that more than half of the
farmers in Georgia do not raise meat
enough io supply their ftlmilies ;
that fruit and poultry are generally
considered unprotitaule; that sheep
raising has been largely abandoned
fora number of years past, and that
very few, co iiparatively, are raising
horses and mule j.—Da. Jambs, D-s
