THE HOME OT TW li.Wl’
I'EAKS AGO.
fond Fancy brings to dreaming eyes
A picture sweet and clear—
And as I gaze, new beauties rise,
And many an image dear.
’Tis not of hoary castle gray,
Nor hamlet on the down,
Nor where the lingering moonbeams play
O’er ancient tower or town—
But sleeping now in summer’s light,
And now in winter’s snow,
She brings the home again to-night
Of twenty years ago.
Sweet spot! thou hast no frowning walls,
No battlement nor mere j
But in thy hospitable halls
What gladsome light and cheer!
How innocent the mirth and jest,
How fondly beamed each eye,
How kindly welcomed was the guest
Of low estate or high.
Oh, happy earth, if in thy round
All might such welcome know
As in that home each pilgrim found
Of twenty years ago.
And where are they ? The happy band
Who gathered round their sire,
And prayed for tale of foreign land
Beside the evening fire.
The laughing girl, the bright-eyed boys,
The youth, the maid were there;
The totteriug infant spread his toys
Beside his mother’s chair.
But now how drear each well-known room
When fades the sunset glow !
For but one lamp lights up the home
Of twenty years ago.
One who had dwelt for years afar
Found in thy shades a grave—
Some wanderer where the evening star
Sinks in the western wave—
Scattered, perchance, for aye are they
Once gathered ’neatli thy roof;
For duty calls, and they obey
Her high but steru behoof,
Yet from each heart fond prayers will rise
When Fancy does but show
That pictured home to dreaming eyes
Of twenty years ago.
Essence of Quackery.
CORES WROUGHT BY THE TOWER OF IM
AGINATION.
.Frem “To-Day.”]
By working on the imagination many
cures which have baffled the skill of the
most scientific physicians have been effect
ed by some ignorant quack, some boasting
charlatan. Even under peculiar circum
stances tho genuine medical man resorts
to artifice. He administers some inert
article —a bread pill for instance —and
trusts to the workings of the imagination
for a cure. Now, we have heard a very
singular and amusing circumstance con
nected with this. A lady had been treat
ed for some time by a doctor for a nerv
ous disorder. She did not in her own esti
mation improve, and she wished the doc
tor to give her more medicine ; but he
advised her to the contrary, and would not
prescribe for her. But still she insisted
that something must be done for her, and
was about sending off for a quack, when
the physician, learning her determination,
told her that he had just thought of a rem
edy x|>ilch had never failed in curing a
disease like hers. He gave her an oddly
shaped vial, with directions that she was
to smell it at certain hours. To bring her
imagination into play, he told her that the
first day she would have a headache; the
eecond day an itching about the breast,
and on the third day would be perfectly
well. On each day she complained of
the effects which he described, said the
remedy operated precisely as he had
stated, and that she was getting much bet
ter. On the third day she declared herself
perfectly well. This is certainly a very
remarkable circumstance, but it is true,
nevertheless.
UP IN A BALLOON!
■IGHT MILES UP IN TIIE AIR WITII DEATH
STARING THE VOYAGERS IN TnE FACE.
SCIENTIFIC DARING.
One full day in August, just after noon,
a balloon rose in the air at the foot of
Cleet Hills, on the western edge of the
central plain of England.
It was inflated with the lighest of gases
which chemical skill could produce, and
it rose with amazing velocity. A mile up
it entered a stratum of clouds more than
a thousand feet thick.
Emerging from this, the sun shone
brightly on the air ship: the sky over
head was the clearest and deepest blue,
and below lay cloudland —an immeasura
ble expanse of cloud whose surface looked
as solid as that of earth now wholly lost
to view. Lofty mountains, and deep, dark
ravines appeared below ; the peaks and
sides of those cloud mountains, next the
sun glittered like snow, hut casting shad
ows as black as if they were solid rock.
Up rose the balloon with tremendous ve
locity. Four miles abova earth a pigeon
was let loose ; it dropped through the air
as if it had been a stone. The air was too
thin to enable it to fly. It was as if a bark
laden to deck were to pass the heavy
waters of the sea into an .inland unsaline
lake ; the bark would sink at once in thin
ner water. Up, up, still higher ! whatsi
lence profound !
The heights of the sky were still as the
deepest depths of the ocean, as was found
during the search for the lost Atlantic
cable, the mud lies understirred from year
10 year as the dust which imperceptibly
gathers on furniture of a deserted house.
.N# sound, no life—only the bright sun
shine falling through a sky which it could
not warm.
Up—five miles above earth ! —higher
than the inaccessible summit of Chimbo
razo. Despite the sunshine, everything
freezes. The air grow* too thin to sup
port lif* even for a few minutes. Two
men only are iu that adventurous balloon
—the sue steering the air ship, the other
watching the scientific instruments, and
recording them with rapidity' bred of long
practice. Suddenly, as the latter looks at
bis instruments, his sight grows dim ; lie
takes a lens to help his sight, and only
marks from the fulling barometer that they
are rising rapidly.
A tlask of brandy lies within a fot
of him ; be tries to reach it, but his arms
refuse to obey bis will. He tries to call
on bis comrade, who has gone up into the
ring above. A whisper iu that deep si
lence would suffice, but uo sound comes
from liis lips—be is voiceless.
The steerm&n comes down into the car.
He secs bis companion in a swoon and
feels liis own senses failing him.
He saw at ouee that life and deatli hung
upon a few moments. His hands are pur
ple with intense cold ; they are paralyzed;
they will not respond to his will.
He seizes the valve with his teeth ; it
opens a little—once, twice, thrice. The
balloon began to descend. Then the
swooning man returned to consciousness
and saw the steersman standing before
him. He looked at his instrument; they
must have been nearly eight miles up.
Brandy was used. They liad been higher
above earth than mortal man or living
thing had ever been before. One minute
more of inaction —of compulsory inaction
—on the part of tha steersman, whose sen
ses were failing him, and the air-ship, with
its intensely rarifled gas, would have been
floating unattended, with two corpses, in
the wide realms of space.
Horace Greeley’s Estate.
THE INDEBTEDNESS OF SAMUEL SINCLAIII
AND YOUNQ VANDERBILT.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.]
Mr. Greeley’s estate is estimated by the
appraisers at about $150,000. It is pretty
certain, it is stated, that Samuel Sinclair is
indebted to the estate at least SB,OOO. There
are abeut SIOO,OOO of bad debts aud worth
less securitiea, The appraisers say that
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., owes the estate
$50,000 borowed money, and it will never
be explained bow that reckless young-man
managed to get into Mr. Greeley's good
graces so seriously. A story told some
months ago is brought to mind with this
statement. Mr. Greeley, who had been
generous to youug Vanderbilt for the filth
or sixth time, was quietly writing in his
office, when the commodore burst into the
room, and, in angry manner, remarked
that ho would never pay a single penny of
that borrowed money. Mr. Greeley scarce
ly suffered his pen to pause, aud, looking
up just long enough to ask the question,
"Who asked you to?” quietly went on
with his work. The commodore has been
resolute in the determination expressed un
til recently ; but it seems lias flually relen
ted to some extent. On Tuesday, we aro
told, be sent bis check for SSOOO to each
of Mr. Greeley's daughters, Ida aud Ga
brielle, adding that if they needed money
at any time they might call on him. The
checks were accepted, doubtless ; but the
young ladies, if they ever solicit aid from
the commodore, will probably present
their claims in the shape of a demand.
Death from Smoking. —The New
York correspondent of the Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser writes: “ A case in
my own intimate acquaintance has this
very week appalled a large circle of friends
in this city. The victim was exactly of
my own years,and a companion from early
boyhood. For thirty years at least he has
been a heavy smoker of the choices ci
gars, but in all his other habits temperate
and regular,and ofexcellent constitution —
one who, of all men, would have laughed
at the suggestion that tobacco was killing
him. A week ago last Sunday night, he
was stricken with the progressive paraly
sis characteristic of nicotine, and on Sun
day night he died. His death was most
pitiful. First, sight was lost, then speech,
then motion of the neck, then motion of
the arms, and so on throughout the body,
and he lay for a fortnight unable to move
or make a sign, save a pitiful, tongueless,
inarticulate sound, which sometimes rose
to almost frantic effort, all in vain, to make
known what he wished to say to his fami
ly or friends —for his consciousness and
mental faculties were left unimpaired till
within two hours of the last, to aggravate
to the uttermost the horror of his situation
—a living soul in a dead body. The sense
of hearingjwas left unimpaired, so that he
was conscious of all around him, while as
incapable of communication with them as
if dead, save by a slight sign of assent or
dissent to a question. The doctors were
fully agreed that tobacco was the sole
cause of this stroke.
You are generally looking at something
very Intently when it happens —perhaps
you are smiliDg to yourself. Then your
left foot shoots out to one side with a sud
denness that creates a sickness in the fam
ily. Ice commences to form on your spine
and perspiration on your brow, and your
scalp lifts enough to permit a streak of
cold air to pass under. The other leg
gets out at this juncture, your head snaps
violently to the front, and there is a faint
impression on your mind that the world is
about to come to an end with nobody in
charge. Miles of sidewalk spin out from
you like lightning. Three-story buildings
jump over your head in swift succession.
People disappear suddenly and with ap
palling mystery. Then your eyes close,
your consciousness wanes, and your soul
goes out in ene expiring quiver, and—and
you arrive. The hard reality of the scene
is then forced upon you.
No Slang. —ln the Girls’ High School
in San Francisco a society of the young
women has been formed for the suppres
sion of slang. A reporter “ interviewed ”
one of the lovely members and asked if
she thought the society would be success
ful in eradicating slang. “ You bet!”
wa* the lively and encouraging reply.

THE PKLTIini WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success lu business; it is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the bent medium of
communication with the planting interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here end elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who retd
their cards in The Advertieer. 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 Advertieer has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADYBBTISEMEHTS.
No advertisements are admitted whleh are
not believed to be above question aod of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the readers of The Advertieer will be
safe in ordering them from any distance. To
our reader*, the fact of its appearance here has
all the weight of eadorssmaat and authority.
