A LULLABY.
Tvro little eyes,
Two little lips,
Two little hands,
Two little feet,
What shall wo ask for them all ?
Two little eyes,
Blue, blue,
Blue as the azure deep of the skies,
Now # roguish, now wondrous wise,
Solemn and funny all in a twink,
Changing and changing with every wink,
What shall wc ask for these little eyes V
Open them, Lord,
To see in thy word
Wondrous things:
Light them in love.
Aud shade them above
With angelß’ wings.
Two little lips,
Red, red,
Red as the darning coral tips.
Sweet as the rose the wild bee sips.
Singing and prattling all day long.
And kissing and coaxing with witchery strong,
What shall we ask for these little lips ?
From thine altar, Lord, above,
Touch these lips with fire of love,
Pure, pure, let them be,
Speaking bely melodies.
Out of a holy heart, that rise
Warm, bright up to thee.
Two little hands,
Busy, busy,
Busv as bird, und busy as bee,
Gathering “funny things” for me,
Weaving webs, and “building a house
Just the size for awes, wee, mouse.”
W hat shall we ask for these little hands !
Lord, with wisdom filled.
Teach these little hands to build
Thine own temple;
Let them skillful be—
Cunning to work for Thee,
By Thine example.
Two little feet,
Nimble, nimble,
Trot-foot and Light-foot, oh!' what a pair;
Now here,now there, now everywhere;
Running of errands, dancing with glee,
Skipping and jumping merrily!
What shall wo ask for these little feet V
Lead them a blessed pilgrimage,
From childhood through to saintly age,
Dear Lord, we pray;
Hold them a light in the dim, dark night,
And out of the narrow path of the right
Ne’er let them stray !
Two little eyes—closed !
Two little lips—shut!
Two little hands—clasped!
Two little feet—still!
God give my darling pleasant dreams !
Matrimonial Incompatibility.
The Rev. Dr. Peabody, in a late essay,
touches upon this delicate subject after
the following fashion :
The truth is that the greater proportion
of the so-called incompatibilities and un
congenialities of domestic life, which are
so often made the ground for the disrup
tion of the matrimonial bond, are iuad
missable as a justifying ground for any
such dissolution, and could be readily
overcome and blotted out of existence,
if the parties most concerned had only
the will to do it. A couple are no
sooner married than they find that differ
ence of opinion and mutual jars ensue, and
all is not gold that glitters ; and then one
or both straightway imagine that there is
no remedy but in ruthlessly breaking the
solemn, sacred tie that binds them. A
vaguo, restless feeling seizes upon one or
both, producing discontent; engendering
a certain thought of present bondage
which exists only in fancy, and cresting
a feverish desire for other associations and
spheres which are supposed to be more
fitted and providentially designed for the
wind and heart. No escape, it is said, but
in cutting the knot. It is a delusion. The
marriage relation, in all its history, was
never expected, perhaps, to be entirely free
from misunderstandings and discords.—
Foolish to think that the whole mutual
life can flow, and, like the early stream,
without a ripple or eddy. Home is a
school, a discipline, whereby husband
snd wife are to grow into each other, get
ting rid of their angularities, harmonizing
their peculiar characteristics, and more
becoming one in thought, sympathy snd
life. The true blessedness of wedded
souls is not insured by a simple exchange
of plighted faith. It comes through and
after many a self-denial, and many a cru
citixtion of the will, many a scourging the
resentment, pride, vanity and passions of
the heart. It is true here, as in other re
lations, that “ be who saveth his life shall
lose it, and he that loseth his life shall
save it.”
Preservation of Homan Skolls.
At the convent of San Sabi, located on
tbe margin of a horrible mountain gorge,
between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea,
supposed to be the wilderness where John
the Baptist preached, there is an immense
collection of skulls, piled up like caunou
balls in a navy yard That lias the rep
utation of being the oldest convent in that
part of the world, and those stacks of
heads are those of monks who lived and
died there in the course of thirteen hun
dred years.
The next extraordinary collection of
the remains of humanity exists about four
tuife* from Folkestone, in tbe town of
Hyths, Kent, England. It is traceable to
bloody battle, fought between the Anglo
britons and an invading army of savage
thanes, in the reign of Ethelwulf, A. 1).,
"hi The Britons triumphed, and thirty
thousand were left dead on the field of
"laughter. Being ‘too weary to bury the

Resigning a Throne.
The -abdication of Amadeus, King of
Spain, is an oveut so unusual, under the
circumstances, as to excite much animad
version. There was no immediate danger
to himself. There was no evidence of a
serious disposition to interfere with his
rule. Yet, from the time he entered upon
his labors and accepted the crowu of a
people to whom he was not closely allied,
he has realized that the place from which
his predecessor had been violently driven
was beset with graver responsibilities than
he had dreamed of. Spain is in a state of
unrest. Her policy seems to lack wisdom,
consistency and foresight. There are able
men in her counsels, but they are divided
and discordant, lie has given no evidence
of an administrative capacity equal to so
troubled an emergency. He has not been
able to realize the necessity of grasping the
reins with a Arm hand, aud marking out a
distinctive line of policy to be pursued in
relation to colonial as well as borne inter
ests. Deeply sympathizing with the Pope,
he has found it impossible to express that
sympathy even in hearty words. He has
seen a spirit of inquiry and a desire for
religious freedom growing up around him.
The crushing despotism that had so long
preyed upon the life of the nation, degrad
ing it from au exalted place to one of
comparative insignificance, could not be
maintained, if he had desired to maintain
it. It is not believed that be had such
desire, having expressed himself free
ly iu favor of great reforms in intci
ual policy, and pledged his influence in
favor ot the abolition of slavery in the col
onies. Hesitating and vascillating, and
making no progress toward a final settle
ment of vexed questions, the Cortes has
made itself a spectacle to the world. Pre
ferring a life of. ease, and the luxuries and
quiet of his own home, to a throne thus
toppling apparently to its fall, he finally
resolved to abdicate. The people of Spain
are apparently surprised and pained by the
announcement. They begin to realize that
they have probably opened the way for
something much worse than the rule of a
kiud-hearted king. Great caution and wis
dom will be required to prevent au over
throw of the Government, and the estab
lishment of something more inexplicable
in character than the government of France
immediately following the termination of
the war with Prussia.
The condition of affairs in Cuba will
become more perplexing than ever. The
hopes of the revolutionists will be strength
ened, and the councils of the Govern
ment distracted. Unless those who may be
temporarily charged with the administra
tion ef affairs in Spain see the necessity of
anew policy in Cuba, it is not difficult to
see that the island will be reduced to a de
plorable state of anarchy, from which there
will be no escape except in the establish
ment of a protectorate, or the establishment
of au independeutgovernment The position
of our Minister at the Court of Spain will
become doubly Siftiult, aud the danger of
complications with our own Government
will be multiplied. The safe solution for
the adoption of the parent Government
will be the immediate abolition of slavery,
and the recognition of a policy that shall
reconcile the revolutionists.— Washington
Chronicle.
A Mystery in the Albany Post-Office.
On the morning of the 12th, as report
ed by the Albany Argus, a discovery was
made in one of the upper rooms of the
Exchange Building, used as a post-office,
which has astonished and perplexed all
beholders. These rooms have been closed
for seventeen years, and the key which
unlocks them has been always in
charge of the officials of the build
ing ; yet on proceeding to the rooms,
as stated, the clerk who entered them
saw a spectacle which would furnish
an admirable chapter in a sequel
to “The Mysteries of Udolpho.” The
floor of the room was covered
with packing cases, vitrol carboys old
papers, maps, etc., In one of the cases
we found portions of a model steam en
gine, the various parts of which were as
bright as if they had been put there but a
few days before. The mystery, however,
was not so much on the floor as it was up
among the rafters, for on casting his eyes
upward the clerk saw suspended from one
of the rafters the skull of a human being
suspended by a string. Immediately un
der this skull, upon the floor, were found
a withered arm, band and shoulder, while
near by was one-half of the ribs. But
more mysteries yet remained to be devel
oped. Near tlie door was a box, in which
were discovered a large quantity of cinders,
some small coal, and peices of charred hu
man bones, showing that an attempt had
been made to burn the bones. The skull was
taken down, and it was seen that the skull
bad been sawn in half. The discovery of
an empty mahogany instrument case, on
which is printed the name “ Dr. Kip,” two
parchment deeds of the seventeenth cen
tury and a number of bottles containing
chemicals, together with old cameras used
in photographing, and many other articles
made up the sum total of the contents of
the gloomy apartmeut. The musty parch
ments give an antique flavor to the sur
roundings of the case, although it would
of course be rash to relugale the wlieie
mysterious matter to that time, now long
passed, when George 111 was king.
How to Cure a Cold
From the Danbury News.
One of our citizens who has been troub
led with a severe cold on the lungs ef
fected his recovery in the following sim
ple manner : He boiled a little boneset
and hoarbound together and drank freely of
the tea before going to bed. The next day
he took five pills, put one kind of plaster
on his breast, another under his arms, and
still another on his back. Under advice
from an experienced old lady he took all
these off with an oyster knife in the after
noon, and slapped on a mustard paste in
stead. His mother put some onion drafts on
his feet and gave him a lump of tar to swal
low. Then he put hot bricks to his feet and
went to bed. Next morning another old
lady came in with a bottle of goose oil.
and gave him a dose of it In a quill, aud
an aunt arrived about the same time from
Bethel with a bundle of sweet fern, which
she made into a tea, and gave him every
half hour until noon, when be took a big
dose of salts. After dinner his wife, who
had seen an old lady of great experience
in doctoring, on Franklin street, gave him
two pills of her make about tbe size of an
English walnut and of a similar shape, and
two table-spoonfuls of home made balsam
to keep them down. Then he took a half
pint of hot rum] at the suggestion of an
fid sea captain in the next house, and
steamed his legs with an alcohol bath. At
this crisis two of the neighbor* arrived,
who saw at once that his blood was out of
order, and gave him a half gallon of
spearmint tea, aud a big dose of castor
oil. Before going to bed he took eight of
anew kind of pill, wrapped about his
neck a flannel soaked lu hot vinegar and
salt, aud had feathers burnt on a shovel in
bis room. He is now thoroughly cured,
and full of gratitude. We advise our.
readers to cut this out and keep it where
it cau be readily found when danger
threatens.
A Terrible Finale.
There was an accouut in this paper some
mouths ago of a man named Schaffer, a
German, ftho had sold his wife and furni
ture, and all his rights iu the household,
to a one-armed man named Haas, for the
sum of SSO in hand paid. Schaeffer be
came dissatisfied with the transaction some
time after, and brought big strange case
before one of the courts, but the court
could not handle its iutricacies. and ills
missed it. Schaeffer then returned to
Germany and promised Barbara, his
wife, never to trouble her or hers auy
more. This sorry comedy has just ter
minated iu a singular tragedy. Scbteff'er
did return and becoming more steady in
his habits, got a good situation. His
brother-in-law helped him to it, and he
promised to be a vagabend no more. But
liis wife and four children—three boys
and one girl of seventeen—lived in New
York, and he heard that his wife and
daughter weie not doing right He was
not long in finding them out, and visited
the family about once a week, according
to the children's statements. They began
their old quarrels, and would go out to
takea walk and comeback quarreling. One
evening they went out together, and left
the children at supper, saying they would
be back in ten minutes. They did not
come, nor did they come that night, or at
all. Those children were orphans.—
That night in a house ol ill repute on
Bleekcr street, an unknown man and wo
man were found with their throats cut, the
woman much mangled and dead, and the
man dying, and a razor lying on the floor
beside them in a pool of blood. Investi
gation proved that they were William and
Barbara Schaeffer, husband and wife.—
The woman’s head was nearly dissevered,
aud she had several gashes on her hands
and shoulders, indicating that she had been
in a struggle. Schseffer was taken to a
hospital and died in a few hours. He was
speechless, and nothing more than above
related is known of this horrible affair. —Hi.

THE IfUUmVn WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising ia
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
TIIE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the best medium of
communication with tbe planting interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the tact that they leave re
ceived orders for goods from parties who re ad
their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of all
other journals in which they are represented.
The Advertiser lias the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENT*.
No advertisements are admitted whieh arc
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re

safe in ordering them from any distance. To
our readers, tbs tact of its appearance here liaa

THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Savannah Dally Morning News is ac
knowledged by the press and people to bo the
best daily paper south of Louisville and east of
New Orleans. Carrying witli it the prestige
snd reliability of age, it has all the vigor and
vitality of youth, ami its enterprise us a gath
erer of the latest and freshest news has aston
ished its contemporaries and met the warm ap
probation of the public.
During tho year 187!i, no expense of time, la
bor, and money will hespentto keep the Mokn
ino News ahead of ail competitors iu Georgia
journalism, and to deserve tho flattering enco
miums heaped upon it from all quarters.—
There hue, as yet, been no serious attempt
made to rival the spueial telegrams whiuli the
News Inaugurated some years ago, and the
consequence is, that tho reader in search of Lite
latest intelligence always looks to the Morn

the paper are such that the omissions made hy

liably supplied by its special correspondents.
The Morning News has lately been enlarged

ature, Art, Science, Politics, Religion, and Gen
eral Intelligence; giving to the reader more
und better digested matter tliau any other pa
per In the State.
It Is, perhaps, needless to speak of the pol
itics of the Morning News. For years and
years —indeed, since its establishment—it has
been a representative Southern paper, and from
tliut time to the present, in all conjunctures,
it has consistently uml persistently mainUdned'
Democratic. States Rights principles, and la
bored, with an ardor and devotion that know
no uliutemunt, to promote and preserve the in
terests und honor of the South.
The special features of the Morning News
will be retained and Improved upon during the
ensuing year, and several now attractions will
he added.
The Georgia News Items, with their quaint
und pleasant humor, and tiie epitome of Flori
da Affairs will he continued during tiie year.—
The Local Department will be. as it bus been
for the past year, the most complete and relia
ble to hu found in any Savannah paper, and
the commercial columns will lie full and accu
rate.
The price of the Daily is 810 per anmuii; 85
for six months; 8” 50 for three months; 81 for
one month.
