scar resembled the scratch of a pin

A Close Call.
Carteravilie Courapt,
During the severe thunder storm
of Friday night the people in the
neighborhood of Martin Walker’s,
on West JIaip street, were awaken¬
ed from their slumber by a terrible
clash of lightning. The people in
thp neighborhood were satisfied
that the liglitujiig had done some of
its fearful work near by, but it was
too dark uud stormy to venture out
on a tour of inspection. In the
household of Mr. Walker there was
a scene of groat activity. Here is
where the lightning struck ffpij
where it came near hurling a whole
family into eternity. Mr. Walker
with his little grandson occupied had a
front room, a window of which
been left open to let in cool air. It
struck a wardrobe in the room and
set some clothing on fire, which
came near resulting in a conflagra¬
tion. The lightning played around
tlie room promiscuously, but luckily
the occupants escaped without be¬
ing harmed, save a good shaking up.
A igqip pn a centre table was melt¬
ed, also some screws in the table. A
little son of Mr. Walker was sleep¬
ing in an adjourning room, and ids
head was only four feet from where
the lightning struck.
Wise Words.
He hath no leisure who useth it

Love for dead should not
cramp our duty to the living,
A good word is an easy obligation;
but not to speak ill requires only
our silence.
The tongue slow and the eyes
q»iok. Keep your month shut, ami
your eyes open.
To be always thinking evil even
with the intention of guarding
agaiust it, is to invite it.
Never despond; never say “itstoo
late.” Fear not,even if you relapse
again and again.
Health is the Second binning that
we mortals are capable of, a nleas¬
ing that money cannot buy.

Does any man wound thee?
Not only forgive, but work into thy
thought intelligence of the kind of
pain, that thou mayest pever inflict
it au another spirit.
Remorse ol consciense is like An
old wound; a man is under no con¬
dition to fight under such circum¬
stances. The pain abates his vigor,
and takes up tbo much of his atten¬
tion.
An old man who has lived in the
the exercises of virtue, looking back
without a blush on his past days
and where pointing erelong to he tljat be better perfectly state

rewarded, is a figure the most ven¬

Dear Enterpb/«Ej— J beg a
short space in your paper for the
tliffesiot) of a few facts which I think
will be very yejavant to exhibit the
erroneous and implacable comcep-
jion enunciated by a voice from
Macon county, in regard to the effl-
cieney qualification and honestty of
our county officers,
First it Je presumptuous dislaln-
ful and ignominious in any one that
would ever conjecture much less
endeavor to vituperate, calumniate
and annoy the wisdom and tfan-
quility of our prosperous old county
where a judicatory vibrates and
Vacillate in the scale of honesty and
justice, economically administering
to the need and wants of every in¬
dividual. And to assault and dog¬
matize slanderous and vociferous
reports circumiocutipg ugaipst the
sagacity and prudence of the patri¬
otic statesman who have served
their constituents with pltmi potency
and untaunted fidelity, would cer¬
tainly place him beneath the digni¬
ty and commiserat i on ol nteligent
The time has never been and God
grant it will ever be, that the people
are so negligent their duties as to
heed the clamorous appeals of men
to fiU tfie various and important
offices of the county that would an¬
nihilate the democracy of the citi*
zens, as the voice would have you
to believe doesn’t the latest statis¬
tics how conclusively that the
finances of the county are judicious¬
ly economically and indiscriminate¬
ly managed to account for this is
that due discretion were used in
selecting officers as will always be.
Then hypothesis is certainly
groundless and he should give a
pieasent savoriness to the effluvium
emanted from him and so reluct¬
antly received by the readers of the
Enterprise. And as he claims it
as the voice of the people why
doesn’t he let them know it by pub¬
lishing it in the county Gazette as
perhaps more of the voters would
see it. Citizen.
\<> Time to Keud.
Exchange.
The woman who “has nu time to
read” generally has no inclination
to do so. The tiue book lover will
make time. I once knew one of
these women who never took a book
in her hands because they were too
busy. She spent days in ruffling,
tucking and embroidery, but no
spare time in which to inform
self of the most ordinary topics of
the day. 1 doubt if she knew how
some of the most common words
vveie spelled, judging from her pro¬
nunciation of them. she In speaking invariably of
her lace curtains
called them “cartings;” and once
we asked he if she intended to re¬
main in the city through the sum¬
mer, and she replied, mountings “Cert|ngjy
not, we shall go the in
August.” She has very fine taste
in the matter of dress ami was call¬
ed “very stylish;” but if she had
spent part of the time in reading
and study which she devoted to
dress, what a different influence
she might have exerted over her
children as well as upon the the so¬
ciety in which she moved. But the
mistaken woman thought it of
more importance to adorn the per¬
son than to improve the mind. Cul¬
tivate habits of reading if you have
it not.
We ail need a little mental food
daily. We need it as we need air,
sunshine, sleep and food. How re¬
freshing to be able to lose ourselves
even for a short time, in the pages
before us. Let a volume lie beside
your work-basket, and if you have
any minutes to spare improve them
by a peep at its contents.

And carried in his grip.

To take the contents out.

A garment, white and wide;
A collar and a pair of cuffs,
A tie that had been tied.
These tilings site took from out the grip,
And then delayed depth she her brought task, sight

“Oh, Grover, wtiat is this?” she cried,
And Grover looked and smiled;
Then blushed and hesitating, said:
“Why, that’s a bait can, child,”
“A b iit can, dear?” she questioned him,
“What makes it smell so queer?”
“Oh—ah," he said, bait, “that’s iriy spirits to

“You sweet old thing,” she softly said,
With other loving terms
How- good little and kind you are to those,
