Sunday Morning, November 21, 1875.
Eternity.
Once in ten thousand years remove.
Till all are borne away,
A single grain from every beach,
Whereon tho waters play;
Then rest—ten thousand thousand years
By millions multiply,
And then the weary work begins
To empty out the tide,
By one small drop each thous .nd vears
Until the whole be dry,
From every stream to which the earth
Affords a full supply;
From all the Lays and lakes and seas,
Till water’s nowhere found,
And parching dryness withers up
The desolated ground.
Then rest—ten thousand thousand years
By millions multiply.
Till all the substance of the"earth
To powdered dust is dry;
Then bear away each thousand years,
A particle so small,
That eye cannot discern its size
Till thou’st removed it all.
In all this fearful lapse of time,
Would it not seem to thee,
That thou had’st measured out the length
Of an Eternity?
Yet when thou had’st with angels’ strength
This mighty labor done,
Its end would be as far as when
Thy labor was begun.
Eternity! Eternity! Great God
Thou know f st alone
The value of Eternity—
Thine empire’s corner stone.
My trembling soul, art thou amazed
At this appalling view?
Be comforted, in Christ there is
Eternal mercy, too.

PAUL MORPHY.
The Recent Career of the Once World-
Renowned Chess Player—Chiding
Himself for Ingratitude, He Becomes
a Hopeless Maniac.
[New Orleans Correspondence of the Chi
cago Times.]
Fifteen years ago the name of Paul
Morphy, the famous chess player, was
as familiar as household words in al
most every portion of the civilized
world. He was a lion in his day, and
no mistake, and for a young man—he
was not over twenty then —he made
considerable noise.
For a twelvemonth he was a sensa
tion, and then passed away from public
notice and fame as suddenly as he had
risen to those giddy heights.
Among those who recollect
THE BRILLIANT CAREER
of the great chess king, there are very
few who could tell you anything about
his existence during the past ten years,
or indeed, whether he lives or is dead.
But it is safe to assume that the re
vival of the subject here will prove a
matter of much interest to thousands,
for although Morphy dropped from the
world’s view many months ago, he has
not by any means been forgotten; and
the very mention of his name,
almost anywhere will suffice to awaken
a cuiious desire to know what has
become of him, and what has been his
history since he resigned his crown in
the histoiy of chess.
With tne wonderful and dazzling
career of Morphy in 1859 and 1860 all
men are familiar. What led to it will
be here recited. He was born in New
Orleans, in 1840, of a Creole family,
rich and respected. When a mere lad
he evinced an appetite for chess, and in
six months after playing his first game
he developed into
A MARVELOUS PLAYER.
He not only beat his father and his
teachers, but vanquished the best
chess player in the city, and in three
months more had so progressed that
among the most skillful players at the
game in New Orleans —and there were
mauy good ones here—none could
even approach him.
At this time his fame had traveled
not only to the North in his own
country, but to Europe, and then his
star began to rise until it became
brightly conspicuous on two conti
nents. “ His entrance upon the life of a
public chess player was effected against
the remonstrances of his parents and
his kindred, who saw something igno
ble in the public parade of young
Morphy’s talents, and the cultivation
of the notoriety which would neces
sarily follow. But Paul was charmed
at the prospect of becoming famous,
and no argument could turn him from
the course upon which he had set his
soul. So he became great, but it will
be hereinafter seen, that as the price
of his fame was his family’s sorrow,
it came home to him in after years,
and made him a morbid, melancholy
man. It has at last reduced him to
A MENTAL WRECK,
and he is now an inmate of a private
asylum, where he has resided for the
past three months, and where he will,
perhaps, never emerge alive, as he is
considered' to be hopelessly insane.
When Morphy returned from Europe,
in 1860, after his magnificent triumphs
there, it was not as a conqueror that
he came, but as a man who, having
tasted the fruits of glory, has found
them bitter in the end, and, disgusted
with himself and mankind, resolves to
eschew the world and its people for
ever. This was Morphy’s condition of
mind when he came back to his New
Oi leans home, late in 1860, and then
was seen the first gleam o/ his after
sorrow, which reproached him for hav
ing grieved his family, and which set
tled upon and remained with him ever
after.
From the hour of his arrival here,
lie declared that he had done with
chess for the rest of his life, and he
not only vowed never to play the game
or look upon a chess-board more, but
he expressly enjoined upon all who
knew him to never allude to the sub
ject of chess in his presence, save
under pain of his severest displeasure.
It came to be generally understood
that he had thus set his face against
what had once been his pride and am
bition, because to its indulgence he
charged not only a remorseful feeling
at having crossed the wishes of his
parents, but likewise the forfeiture of
brilliant business prospects. At all
events he despised chess as much as
he had once loved it, and he steadfast
ly refused to mingle in the world be
yond the confines of his own kindred.
Thus he lived a secluded and morbid
existence here, until the outbreak of
the late war, when, in company with
several members of his family he went
abroad.
In 1866 he returned to New Orleans,
and renewed his life here under the
same conditions which had prevailed
before his departure, save perhaps that
he was more retired than ever. Still
he was
A CONSPICUOUS CHARACTER,
although no one except his mother
could lay claim to his friendship or his
notice. His daily routine of existence
involved a walk on Canal street every
morning, where his dapper little figure
—always scrupulously well dressed —
became as well known and as regularly
looked for as the noonday bell. After
his daily promenade he retired from
public gaze until evening, when he ap
peared in his box at the opera, where,
it is said, he never missed a night. It
is further related that daring three
years he permitted no friendly acquain
tance; he was never known to associate
with anybody but his mother, and per
sistently repelled advances from those
who, having been friends of his early
youth, desired to renew their associa
tions. He lived a strange life, a strange,
moody and peculiarly mournful man.
twelve months ago, he began to show
the first positive symptoms of a break
ing down of his mental faculties, and
he soon manifested such
ECCENTRICITIES OF DISPOSITION
in public, that his mother began to be
unhappily alarmed about him.
This concern, as it proved, was not
without w r arrant. He continued to man
ifest increased symptoms of mental ab
berration, and after vainly striving to
battle with the inevitable, his mother
sadly recognized the fact that her son
was insane; and three months ago, as
already cited in this article, he was
placed in an asylum.
It is a sad sequel to a history whose
pages were once aglow with a world’s
admiring plaudits, and there are many
both in this country and in Europe who
will invest the knowledge here con
veyed with a tender interest, and with
it revive the recollections of a man
who, in his time, was famous far be
yond the common lot of mortality.

Savannah, Ga., April 28,1872.
Dr. Tutt : -In gratitude for the benefit
received bv the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won

For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wi< h great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am now per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an

heartily recommend it to all who have.lung
