THE GREAT Southern Piano MANUFACTORY. Editor and Proprietor. Mow I Lay Me Down to Sleep. We clip the following exquisitely beautiful lines from Putnam’s Mag : Golden head so lowly bending, Little feet so white and bare, Dewy eyes half shut, half opened, Lisping out her evening prayer. Well she knows when she is saying, “Now I lay me down to sleep,” ’Tis to God that she is praying— Praying Him her soul to keep. Half asleep, and murmuring faintly, “If I should die before I wake”— Tiny fingers clasped so saintly— “l pray the Lord my soul to take.” Oh, the rapture, sweet, unbroken, Os the soul who wrote that prayer ' Children's myriad voices floating Up to heaven, record it there. If. of all that has been written, I could choose what might be mine, It should be that child’s petition Rising to the throne divine. While the muffled bells were ringing, “Earth to earth, and dust to dust/’ My free soul, on faith depending— Faith and love, and perfect trust— Would approach Him, humbly praying (All the little ones around) “Jesus, Saviour, take thy servant, Give to her they children’s crown.” A Witty Butcher. —Some years ago there resided in one of the principal towns of Maine a butcher who, though illiterate, was not without wit. Dur ing one of his diurnal rounds with his cart, he stopped at Judge B ’s who asked, “What have you to-day, Thomas ?” “Mutton, Judge/’ ‘‘How much a pound ?” “Two cents and a half. Have some?” “Two cents and a half a pound!” replied the Judge, in affected astonish ment. “I’ll live on faith before 111 pay two cents and a half a pound for mut ton.” The butcher man paused a moment and holding out his hand, replied, ‘Judge, youil have to diet on repent ance some time before you can live upon faith” Ail Amiecdote. A distinguished lawyer was once asked why lie did not chastise a cer tain individual who had insulted him. He answered by relating the following incident in his history : ‘ I was once walking out on a beautiful moonlight night, with a large, new and valuable book under my arm. The ground was covered with snow, and the bright moonshine, falling upon its glittering surface, reflected a beautiful, mild light which revealed every obsticle distinctly to vision As I walked along and meditated upon the beauty of the natural scene, I suddenly encountered a small, black animal, with a white ring around its neck, and a long bushy tail. Instinct, or something el se, prompted me to endeavor to drive it from my path by making some noise to frighten it. This failed to produce the desired effect. I tried it several ; times but with no better success. At, length, provoked by the obstinate te merity of the creature, I flung my splendid new bo.k at it and thus drove it out of my way. But the conse quences of this rash act on my part I shall never forget. Not only my book, but my peison, was assailed iu a way i that a peculiar odor attended me for many long months. My bcok was ruined and had to be thrown away. — My clothes, which were new and cosi ly, had to be buried ; and such was my puuishment for venturing to fight a skunk." We were strongly reminded of this anecdote the other day when we read the personal tirade of a certain name less individual in the New Era , and we instinctively resolved not to come in contact with such a skunk. True Georgian. An exchange srys that the frogs of Connecticut have worn the skins off their noses in the vain attempt to find water. A eotemporary asks, "How is it that the mouths of rivers are larger than their heads?” Nothing out of the way in that; we know of persons in the ame fix. Tale Baiuno. —Never repeat a story unless you are certain it is correct, and not even then unless something is to bo gained, either of interest to voursclf or for the good of the person concerned. Tat tling is a mean and wicked pi no tice, and he who indulges in it grows more fond of it in proportion as he is successful. If you have no good to say of your neighbor, never reproach h s character by telling that which is false. He who t*cls you the faults of others intends to tell Others of your faults, and so the dish of nows is handed from one to another till the table becomes enormous. Ail Act to Protect tlie Stale Credit. The New Era publishes an act to pro tect the State credit which has passed both Houses and become a law. It provides that neither the Govenor nor any other functionary shall guarantee the bonds of any railroad until they shall have evidence that an amount of money equal to the bonds asked for has first been paid in or expended by the stockholders of the road. And sec tion second provides for the seizure and sale of the road upon non pay ment of interest. This bill is a good deal better than nothing. NO. 21. The Rod of Heavenly Vengeance and Warning. Our cable telegram news reports to dav go to show that the Old World is about to receive a direct warning from on high, a stroke of vengeance which may cause the w arring forces to pause in their work of human desolation in dread of a blow which may be struck against both by a power higher than either, and with a hand which is just and impartial as it is terrible. Severe sickness has appeared in the Prussian armies operating before Metz and Stras bourg; the cattle plague has broken out very genei ally in Prussia, includ ing Berlin, and is extending rapidly.— Cholera has appeared in South Russia. There were huLdreds of cases, with forty-three deaths, in St. Petersburg during the last week. Cholera has al so broken out in Persia. Such are a few of the Old World visitations which w r e have to record to-day. Such visi tations have always appeared to add to tbe desolations of war. They should be accepted, as of old, as inti mations of the absolute necessity of peace —intimations which came direct" \y from a power higher than kings or diplomatists.— N. Y. Herald. A note from the Prussian govern ment informs the powers at Paris, that if they threaten to hold out until starved, that in that event, hundreds of thousands must die, as Prussia will be unable to feed Paris a single day after the capitulation, there being nothing eatable within two das’march of Paris. Nevertheless, Prussia must prosecute the war, and those holding power in France are answerable for the results. Berlin, October, 11.—The following is official: The Government of Prussia, though unable to recognize the pres ent Government of France, will not re store the Bonapartes. One of the miseries of life is to be beaten in an argument, and immedi ately afterward to think of some ex pression which would have totally an nihilated your opponent. A wise physician once said: ”1 ob served that every one wishes to go to heaven: but I observe, also, that most people are willing to take a great deal of disagreeable medicine first.” Eowln the environs oi pairis we have a spurgeon priest. While his parish ioners slumbered during the sermon he sudenly exclaimed “Fire!

That was ma king a great deal of hapiness or mise ry. in a very short space of time. Which was it? In the two mile dash at the Macon Fair “Bismarck” distanced \Y.J. Woo ten’s horse “Dave”in 5;37|. “Bismarck'* was awarded the $l5O premium at the Macon Fair as the fastest trotter, and Wooten,s “Dave” the SSO premium as the second best. • llev. A. P. Woodfin died at the resi dence of J. W. Winfield in Greensboro on the 4th. He was a devoted and use ful minister of the Baptist Church, and preached the Gospel up to his last mo ments. jgk&rThe Fredericksburg News tell the story of a young lady visiting Mount Vernon, who wept so freely at the ice house, mistaking it for the toinb of Washington, that when sna got to the real place she could not shed a tear!
