THE DOOMED MAN.
There Is a time we kuow not when.
A point we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men,
To glory or desj>air.
There is a line by us unseen
That crosses every path,
The hidden boundary between
God’s patience and His wrath.
To pass that limit is to die,
To die as if by death—
It does not quench the beaming eye,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still at ease,
The spirit light and gay;
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on the forehead God has set,
Indelibly a mark —
Unseen by man, for man as yet,
Is blind and in the dark.
And yet the doomed man’s path below,
May bloom aa Eden bloomed—
He did not, does not, will not know
Nor feel that be is doomed.
He knows, be feels that all is well,
And every fear is calmed ;
He lives, he dies, he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed but damned.
Oh, where is this mysterious bourne,
By which our path is crossed,
Beyond which God Himself hath sworn
That he who goes is lost 1
How far may we go on in sinl
How long will God forbear,
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair.
An answer from the skies is sent,
Ye that from God depart,
While it is called to-dav repent,
And harden not your heart.
Following His Advice. —A good
story is told ou ouc of the Radical lead
ers iti this county. Before the election
ho earnestly exhorted the negroes to pay
their taxes by all means, if they did
not have the money, they must sell
something and get it— sell eggs, chick
ens, anything to raise money and pay
their taxes. One morning he woke up
and found that his fowl-house had been
entered the night before and all his
chickens stolen. Some of his party had
followed his advice and paid their taxes.
—Houston Journal
A Little Family Stoky About Tun
tlbs. —Audubon, the naturalist, stated
that at certain places on the coast of
Florida, sea-turtles, those huge, stolid
looking reptiles on which aldermen are
fed at the expense of tax-payors, pos
sess an extraordinary faculty cf finding
places to lay. Wforking their way up
out of reach of tide-water with their
flippers, f quite a deep hole is excavated,
in which a batch of eggs arc deposited
and then carefully covered up. On
reaching the water they not uufrequent
ly swim three hundred miles out at sea,
foraging for appropriate food. When
another batch of eggs are developed
after a lapse of about fourteen days,
they will return unerringly in a direct
line, even in the darkest night, and visit
the buried eggs. Removing the sand,
more are deposited and secured. Away
they go agaiu as before. They know
instinctively the day and hour when
the young brood, incubated by the solar
rays will break the shell,and are prompt
ly on the spot to liberate them from
their prison. As soon as fairly out of
the hole, the mother turtle leads them
down the bank to the waves, and there
ends he* parental solicitude and mater
nal duties.
The Cincinnati Commercial drops into
conundrums as follows: “Has the edi
tor of the Dayton Journal heard that
the President’s son has joined his regi
ment? The regiment in which the boy
belongs is in Texas. Is he there ? Is
It not true that the law prescribes, and
that oustom commands that the gradu
ates of West Point shall serve according
to their assignment, two years after
graduation without leave of absence ?
Why should on exception be made in
favor of Lieutenant Fred. Dent Grant?
What sort of an example does he set
the young men of the country ? Is it
to be a part of our Republican instruc
tion that we have privileged classes ?”
■ • ♦
No man can avoid his own company,
so he had better make it as good as i
possible. j
Judge Douguehty Head. —A private
dispatch received in this city announces
the death ia New York of Mr. Win.
Dougherty, of the most distinguished
lawyers in Georgia. He had long been
sinking, and his death created little sur
prise, though universal regret. —Atlanta
Sun.
A Mattkk of Satisfaction.-— Not a
bad story is told at the expense of a
most distinguished citizen of Philadel
phia. It seems that a dinner party
was in progress during the recent bril
liant display of northern lights, and this
gentleman, stepping out to coo! his
burning brow, was startled by the dis
play about the frosty pole. Ho stood
perfectly amazed; then turning to the
I window he saw within the wife of his
| bosom sitting with the ladies, waiting
for their liege, lords to end their cham
pagne and segars. Pushing aside the
curtains, he beckoned Mrs. Agnes to
come out. She complied, when he said
to her, solemnly :
“Wagnes, d’yer sec anything extro
nery now ?”
“Yes, Dolly, I see you have been
drinking too much wine.”
“No! not that, Wagnes. I mean ex
tronery phornomonusras in asmosphere.”
“Why, where, Dolly ?”
“Upper yonder, Wagnes.”
“Why, dear me !—yes I do, indeed
—the most brilliant aurora that I ever
saw.”
“Wagnes, are things shootin ?”
“Yes, dear.”
“And a fiashin” Wagnes?”
“Yes, Dolly.”
“And a sorter spreadin’ and daucin’,
eh, Wagnes ?”
“All that, my dear.”
“IIo! ho!” laughed the husband,
much relieved. “Do you know, Wag
nes—l mean Hagnes—when I came
out and saw the c’lestial phernomonums
a-glowin’ upper yonder, blowed effer I
didn’t think I was drunk !”

“A contractor sent to the City En
gineer of St. Louis a New Year’s pres
ent, consisting of a silver fruit-stand and
silvery berry-spoon. Mr. Moulton po
litely returned the gift, very properly
remarking that while holding the posi
tion of City Engineer he could accept
no presents from contractors doing work
for the city.” Now, if it could be
truthfully recorded that Grant had per
formed a similar act, it could be safely
conjeotured that the millenum season
had set in a little earlier than, was ex
pected.
Father Ilyacinthe and the Pope ere
still at loggerheads, and Hyacinthe, who
in defiance of bulls had gone and got
married, has addressed a letter to his
Holiness, whieh breathes defiance,claim
ing all of his priestly prerogatives,
which, having been conferred by a pow
er higher than man, he in tends to main
tain. He says : “I shall await with
confidence from the successors of your
Holiness in the indefectible seat of the
Primacy a retraction, or at least an ex
planation, of the dogmas which are in
their present form contrary to truth
and tradition’ 1
The New Orleans Picayune, referring
to white labor in the South, says:
“ Those who have not heard the facts
wh'ch settle this question should know
that white laborers are working in the
fields all over the State of Louisiana
the year round as low down as tide
water from the Gulf of Mexico, and on
the islands along the Gulf shore. And
these laborers are not more sickly than
negroes, or men who stay in the shade.
Editors, doctors, and travelers have
often referred to this fact. The old
prejudices agaiust this climate are fast
dying out, but they are not all of them
dead.”
♦
The St. Louis Democrat prints this
beautiful little story: “There is a
covered bridge at Peoria, five hundred
feet above high water mark. A drover
recently attempted to drive a thousand
shedp across it. When about half way
over the bell-wether notioed an open
window, and, recognized his destiny
made a strike for glory and the grave.
When he reached the sunlight he at
onoe appreciated his oritioal situation,
and, with a leg stretched toward each
cardinal point of the compass, he utter
ed a plaintive ‘Ma-a ! and descended to
his fate. The next sheep and the next
followed, imitating the gesture and the
remark of the leader. For hours it
rained sheep. The erewhile placid
stream was incarnadine with the life
blood of the moribund mutton, and not
until the brief tail of fhe last sheep, as
it disappeared through the window,
waved adieu to this wicked world, did
the movement cease,”
