A t this point he hesitated, put the corner
of his apron to his eye, burst into tears and
sat down, totally overcome by the allusion
to himself Htoi by the novelty of the situa
tion. Cicero, who was a lad at the same
school" made fun of Demosthenes, asking
him. derisively, if he hadu’t better go and
hire out for an orator.
The last time I met Socrates he was on

with the sheriff” of his county. He recog

We boys felt very bad when we heard ’
they had soc and it to old Socrates, for we
liked him.
I was with Julius Csc-ar when he passed
the Rubicon He held a good hand, and I
told him he had better order it up. hut he
passed. The result is well known; lie lost
the game.
Alexander the Great and myself were
schoolmates. We were brought up little
girls together. He use to amuse himself, J
remember, by smashing up all the globes
there were in school, and then sit down and
cry because there were no more worlds to
conquer. I happened to be with him when
he cut the Gordian Knot. Many others had
tried in vain to do it. It was ’ knot for Jo.”
Smart Aleck came along and cut it the first
time trying, with a patent corn-cutter.
Nero had one of the most sensitive or-
I ever knew, and keenly svm*-
p.ithized with human woes. I have seen
him sit in the amphitheater at R une, and
weep bitterly when the captives were torn
in pieces bjr wild beasts. It is a base
slander to say he fiddled while Rome was
hurtling. He belonged to a fire-engine
company, and I saw him as he helped to
hreak’er down, and in the excitement of the
moment though he was fiddling, and so
reported.
Mechanical Association.
The workingmen of the land with their
brown arms aod toiling hands, in the South
are taking an important and respectable
position. It was the custom to lo"k upon
working peop'e as a “low class," and the
nose of the kid gioved gentry would just
turn un of its own accord at sun-burnt
arms. But now the man of work is the
man of Mark
In other cities workingmen have com
bined for the good of each other and the
whole ; and the good of such an organiza
tion lias worked out grand consumatious.
Farmers have their societies; doctors have
organizations, and mechanics th“irs also.
These organizations become a powerful aux
iliary in harmonizing the interests of each
other and diffusing intelligence as well as
in building up individual manhood and
mor;ility.
There are more than one hundred
mechanics in Opelika, many of them of fine
intelligence and high character and of real
substance, who, if associated in a proper
organization, might greatly benefit each
oth“r as well as the community. In M'»nt*
gomery, Columbus, Selma, Atlanta, arid all
the surrounding cities, there are mechani
cal oganizatiops ; an 1 it is a proverbial fact
that wherever there is such a combination,
the dignity of labor has been established
and ihe mechanic has taken a high position,
and architecture has received an impulse to
higher development.
Our community would rejoice to see every
mechanic in Opelika fostering an organiza
tion of this sort. Helping and encourag
ing each other and sustaining the honor and
dignity of labor aod advancing the skill of
handicraft. — Opelika Era.
Fashion Notes.
Half high shoes will more cn repel for
summer wear than high laced or buttoned
boots.
Uncarved ivory fans and ivory glove
stretchers are considered suitable gifts for a
bride to receive.
The Jockey Club how, fastened with a
bow spring to the collar button, is the last
style announced in gentlemen’s cravats.
The latest style of collars for gentlemen
is narrow and turned over, worn low in the
neck. The stouter the persen the lower
can the collar be worn.
Fashionable*, both ladies and gentlemen,
now affect the Tennyson reversible cuff Its
distinguishing feature is a notched-off
edge below the slepve button.
Cuffs and collars of brown and eeru-linen
are the thing for summer traveling wear.
They are trimmed with narrow ruffles of
the same, edged with a line of English lace.
All the bonnets of tbe season are modifi
cations of the gipsy or cottage shapes. Their
brims are either turned up indented, filled
with ruches or bandeaux, or left plain, to be
filled by frizettes of bair, as the taste of
the wearer may dictate.
Gentlemen now keep their button-bole •
bouquets fresh in small, flat glass tubes,
partially filled with water. The tube is
small enoush to slip through the button
hole ; a little silver or gilt ring around the
neck, tr which a pin is attached, keeps it
in its place.
Parasols of the latest style are of shades
of pongee, lined with silk serg*. huff, drab,
nr ecttr, or poplin, lined with silks a shade
darker. An edge of darker color, and
sometimes a fringe, also a shade darker,
finishes them Practical ladies affect the
English wa king-stick parasol or umbrella

Fashion Notes fur the Ladies.
e clip the following from our exchages :
Several strand-* of seed pearls are consid
ered very stylish for a necklace.
Necklaces are still the rage. The newest
style is called the “dog collar;" it is very
broad and composed of heavy gold links.
Bonnets trimmed in two colors, flowers
or feathers, are especially the combination
of the season’s novelties.
The hair is wmm lower than ever in the
back, braided in wide strands and and loop
ed on the top of the head, while it is held
by a bow and ends of ribbon.
Hoops, if worn at all, very small,
with an* extensive bustle attachment.
Many dispense entirely with the wire cage,
and wear the pannier bustle of hair, cloth
or wire.
B’ack and white lace combined, and or
namented with bright flowers, make a love*
ly bonnet to fie worn en suite with a cos
tume of black gross grain, or of cashmere,
trimmed with black and white lace.
Overskirts, we arc told, will now have
but a short reign, although they are pretty
and universally liked. Instead of the over
skirt. the skirt is to be ruffled to tbe waist,
and worn with a stylish basque.
Hair striped silks, in various shades and
colors, make up very stylish. Most of them
are trimmed with feathered ruchings of
the material, or with ruchings of plain silk
matching the dark -tripe of the costuni”.
White chip bonnets and hats have been
introduced in great numbers this season,
and will be prefered toother straws. They
are handsome, trimmed with any c dor.
Black velvet and lace will he extensively
used on these hats, which can be worn with
any suit.
An Affecting . v cene.— A sad scene oc
curred at Calvary ceme’ery on Tuesday af
ternoon, the occasion being the burial of the
father and mother ot four children residing
in Henrv street in this city- The weather
was so inclement that the friends who
accompanied the remains decided to let the
children remain in the carriage, but their
earnest pleadings, with tearful eyes, to see
their mother’s grave, could net be resisted
aod their wish was granted. Both cuffing
were carried to ths grave, and the youngest
little girl, who seemed to be unconscious
of what was transpiring caressed the coffin
rs her mother with a childish simplicity,
uttering the most endearing of “poor
mama, nice mama. Will come home," etc.
The oldest sister took the little prattler by
the hand and brought her to the other aide
of the grave.
As the grave digger lowered his mother’s
coffin lo its last resting place and threw
the first shovel full of clay, the children
simultaneously gave one pierceing cry,
which echoed over the church yard bring
ing tears to the eyeg of all present. Many
of the men unable to gaze on the sad scene,
tnrnid and walked away. It was with
difficulty the chi'dren were persuaded to
Ipave the grave and as they were about to
depart, the little ones following the exam
ple of the oldest, knelt down on the new
made grave, and offered up prayers to their
Creator for the spiritual welfare of the
father and mother whom (Dathhad deprived
them of on one— W Y World.
The fearful sufferings of the crew of the
hart Dashing Wave, a China tea clipper,
shipwrecked on a small island in tbe South
Picific Ocean, are narrated in the Fiji
Times, of January 7. The crew took to tbe
long-boat, and captain Vsndervord secured
a chart and nautical instruments, bat
strange to say, no compass was saved ; a
case of colonial wine, a bag and a balf of
bread and two backets were put in the boat,
bat no water, aod for thirty-one days the
thirteen men were in the open boat without
seeing land or a ship or receiving any
assistance whatever. For the first five days
they had not a drop of water, an I the cap
tain divided a bottle of wine daily among
the thirteen men. Afterwards they had
rains, and caught e nugh to serve ouj half
a pint of water to each roan per diem It
was first designed to steer for the Kingsmill
group, but the current against them, and
then a course was steered for Ascersion
Island, and had any of the party been able
to low, they might have reached it, but,
weak as they were, all they could do was to
keep their boat before the wind with tbe
blanket sari. At la a fc after thirty days’
suffering, they reached Strong’s Island, of
the Caroline group, and were reoeived by
the Ring with the utmost hospitality. Ha
look the Captain and Mate to live with him,
aod assigned quarters to the mea in ihe

Tragedy at Lake City, Fla.
A special dispatch to the Savannah News
gives the particulars of a difficulty at Lvke
City, Fla., on the night of the 25th of April,
which terminated In the death of a Mr* Ma
honey. During a dance at a party, that
night, Mrs. Mahonev charged Mr. Samuel
Bellsinger with fqueezing|her hand too hard,
and for this alleged insult he was attacked
in the hall-room by Mr. Mahoney. Par
ties eeperate them there, but Mahoney fol
lowed Bellsinger to a house in the city
whither he went to'escort a lady home,
and as he was leaving it, sttAcked and
knocked him down with a stick.
The next dny BMlsioger and Mahoney met

M"Kal— For Gent. Don’t seem to squeeze
a married lady’s hmcl unless you want to
make her a widow.
For Lady— Unless you are certain offense
whs intended, do not complain to your hus
band, nor then, if you don’t want to be a
widow.
For Husband-- Beyond the reach of advice,
or moral, you see how it is yourself.
Billings’ Advice to Jo* —By awl mea»s
Joe, get married, if you got a fair show.
Don’t stand shivering on the bank, but
pitch in and stick yure hei under and the
shiver is over. There ain’t enny more trick
in getting married aft-*r you’re redy than
there is in eating peanuts. Menny a man
has stood shivering £*n the shore till the
river awl run out. Don’t expect to marry
an angel, them hev swl been picked up
long ago. Remember, Joe, you ain’t a saint
yourself. Do not marry for buty excltos
ively ; buty is like ice, awful slipperly, and
thaws dredful easy. Don’t marry for luv
neither; luv is like a cooking stove, good
for nothing when the fuel gives out. But
marry a mixture. And let the mixture be
some buty becomingly dressed, w-ith übout
$250 in her pocket, a good speller, handy
and neat in the house, plenty of good sense,
a tuft constitution and by laws, email feet,
a light stepper; add to this sound teeth and
a warm heart. This mixture will keep in
enny climate, and not evaporate. It the
cork happens to he left off for two or three
minutes the strength ain’t all gone. Joe.
For heaven’s sake don’t marry for pedigree.
Thar ain’t much in pedigree unless it is
hacked by bank stocks. A family with
nothing but pedigree generally lack sence.
Tub American Newspaper Reporter gets
up some very sensible conceits about adver
tising, as witness the following :
Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have a good thing, udvertise it. If
you haven’t, don’t.
If you don’t mean to mind yourown busi
ness, it will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponent’s good in
public. him do his own advertising.
It’s as true of advertising as of any thing
else in this world—if it D worth doing at
all it is worth doing well.
You can’t eat enough in one week to last
a whole year and you can’t advertise on that
plan either.
A large 'advertisement once, and then
discontinued, creates the impression that
the man has failed.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
whero there’s no fish. You need to let the
line fall in tbe right place.
If you can arouse euriosity by an adver
tisement, it is a great point gained The
fair sex don’t hold all the curioeity in the
world.
People who adver ise only once in three
months forget that most folks can’: remem
ber any thin*r lnncr*»r than about seven days.
A Competent Witness.— “William!
Look ! Tell us, William who mnde you ?”
William, who was considered a fool,
screwed ud his face, and looked thoughtful
and somewhat bewildered. “Moses, I
s’pose !’’
“That will do,” said Counsellor Grey,
addressing the court ; “The witness says
he supposes Moses made him ; that is an
inte ligent answer, more than I thought him
capable of giving, for it shows that he has
some faint idea of Scripture. I submit that
is not sufficient to entitle him to be sworn
as a witness capable cf giving evidence.
“Mr. Judge,” said the fool, “may I ax
the iawyer a question Y*
“Certainly,” said the Judge.
“Well then, Mr. Lawyer, who d’ye s’pqse
made you ?"
“Aaron I s’pose,” said Counsellor Grey,
imitating the witness.
After the mirth had somewhat subsided,
the witness drawled out, “Wall, ne-ow, we
do read in the book that Aaron onoe made
a calf, bat wbo’d a thought the darned
critter had got in he**e !"
The Judge ordered the man to be sworn.

Lightning ! Narrow- Escape.—Just an
the passenger train was running through
East Albany, Wednesday evening, during
the terrific thunder st<>rra, Mr. David
Wooden and eon went around from the
kitchen, and were standing in the front
yard near the fence when Mr. Wooden wu
thrown to the ground j recovering a little
he rose and fell again, ae soon as he oould
speak he told his daughter who had run to
his assistance, to pour water on hie left leg,
which seemed to give relief
Another daughter Was struck to the Boor.
The son that was standing near his father,
at the same stroke, bad one of his shoes
torn from his foot, tad his foot badly
burned.
Mrs. Wooden was nearly prostrated on
the floor. No other remedy being at hand
cold water was freely applied. Mr. Wood*
en passed a sleepless night In consequence
of the pain in his foot.
In his note of Thursday morning, in
which the above facts are stated, Mr.
Woouen says he has been enable, as yet,
to find out where or what the lightning

The World and its Beauties. —The
world is only wicked and weary to those
who are stated with its delights, or who aro
incapable of appreciating them. The ma
teria! world itself sets such an example of
of brightness and cheerfulness that it is
quite wonderful how any one can imagine
for a moment that weariness c <uld possibly
be one of its attributes. The year dies in
the gloom uni bitterness ot w inter, but tho
fresh and young beauties of nature revive
again in thd spring. Nature is perpetually
renewing her charms and multiplying her
gifts. If man could only renew his life in
like manner, he might live forever without
weari» ess, and find the world, —even this
so-called wicked world—a paradice to all
eterenity. The sun is nlways shining, the
flowers are always blooming, the birds are
singing, tho golden grain is Always waving
somewhere in this wicked world.
A Fisn Story. —We met a boy on the
streets, and, without the ceremony of asking
our name, he exclaimed :
“You just orter been down to the river a
while ago l"
“Why?" we inquired.
“Because a nigger Was in there swim
ming, and a big catfish came tip behind
him and swallowed both ol his feet, and
went swimming along on the top of the
water with hir,; and they came behind
another big fish, and the nigger swallowed
his tail, and the nigger and two fish went
swimming about."
“Well, then what ?"
“Why. aftor a while the bigger swallow
ed his fish, and the other fish swallowed
the nigger, and that’s tho last I saw of
either of them."
“Sonny," said we, with H feeling of alarm
for the boy, “you are in a fair way to
become the editor of a Radical paper."
Thx Dandt. —The effeminate man in ae
weak poultice. He is cross between root
beer and gingerpop. the cork left out; a
fresh-water mermaid fodnd in a cow paa
turo with harfds full of dandelions. lie is
a teacup full of sylabub; a kitten in pan
taletta ; a sick monkey with a blonde mous
tache. lie is a vine without a tendril; a
fly drowned in oil; a paper kite in a dead
calm He lives like a butterfly—nobody
can tell why. He is as harmless as a cent's
worth of spruce gdm, and a shirt button
without a hole. He is as lazy as a bread
pill, and has no more hope than a last
year’s grusshopper lie goes through life
on tiptoe, and dies like colonge water spilt
on the ground.
A Metaphor. —There is something in
a beautiful woman that leaves a deeper im
pression on the mind of sensibility, than
even pickled oysters, or oysters stewed “ac B
cording the most approved method." We
have noticed the above valuable aphorism
in a great number of newspapers, and it is
still on its travels. Where the deuce our
brethren came across it, or who was in fact
the author of so much sublimity, is beyond
our reading, btft it very strikingly exempli
fies the profundity of human thought. The
fellow who wrote it must have had an im
agination as vivid as a pan of baked
beans.— Camden Journal.
A patron of a certain newspaper said to
tbe publisher;
“Mr. Printer, how is it you have never
called on me for pay for your paper?"
“Oh," said the man of types, “we never
ask a gentleman for money."
“Indeed," replied tbe patron “how do you
manage to get along when they don't pay
yon ?"
“Why," said the editor, “after a certain
time we oonclude be is no gentleman and
we ask him."
“Oh—ah—yes—l see. Mr. Editor, pleats
give me a receipt," and hands him over a
V. “Make my name all right on your
books."
A Good Answer. —An unbeliever, while
vehemently discussing in a crowded room,
the subject of religion, confidently exclaim
ed : “I should like to meat that Bishop of
Lichfield; I'd pot a question that would
puzzle him."
“Very well," said a voice out of another
corner, “now is vour time, for I am the
Bishop."
The man was quite startled, but present
ly said : “My lord, can you tell me the wav
to heaven?"
“Nothing easier." auswered the bishop ;
•“you have only to turn to the right and go
straight forward "
