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.

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. Addresa, JAS. P. HARRISON, Fo north.oo*B*o.
