But there is rosy* golden, heav’nly May, W here she bath gone. Where she hath gone— No wailing note waketb sigh or moan, The old glad songs take up a gladder tone. And laughter sweeter far than we have known, .Where she hath gone. Where she hath gone— God’s pres- nee fills the many mansions fair, A crown adorns her head—that head so dear— And thy • oor heart will fird its rest up there, Where she hath gone. Where she hath gone— Time doth not mark, in days, its golden flight. The sun is dimmed by heaven’s greater light, And there are never tears nor lonely night Where she hath gone. Where she hath gone— Thou, too, wilt go some day it God so will— Ah! me, poor words and pen are mute and still , At thought of the transcendant, mutual | thrill When soul meets soul, redeemed, yet loving still, Where she hath gone.

Hardships of HI* Ufa in the Mining Camps of California. Sacramento Bee.] One of tbe ablest and most eloquent pulpit orators In California to-day is tbe Rev. Dr. J. C. Simmons, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 8outh, at Chicu. Last Sunday evening, in that city, hepreached his thirty-fifth anniversary sermon, telling at length the story of hi t work in the vineyard of the Pacific coast. Dr. Siniim.ns is a man of much abil ity, who has produced a number of able work in relation to religious sub jects. He has a clear, ringing voice, and possesses the power of bolding bis TDTD TPT7 TT a ny r ffco nn audience. At times his bearers are •* JA J ^F- 1 J-jAGH highly amused, and again they are in tears. As a public speaker he has but few equals. He is a man of fine ap pearance, and liie hair and beard are as white as snow. He is the son of an honored Meth odist preacher of the Georgia Confer ence, and was born in Butts county, Ga., in 1827. He graduated from Em ory College, at Oxtord, Ga., in 1848, and was ordained to preach a few days after receiving his dioloma. In 1852 he was sent as a missionary to California, reaching Ban Francisco in February of that year. The doctor relates that the first ob jects that attracted his attention upon stepping from tb« Bbip were the im mense gambling saloons, brilliantly lighted and crowded with men, with here and there a woman seated at a table superintending a game. Great piles of gold lay in the utmost profu sion tin the tables. Shrewd and well dressed gamesters were on hand to fleece tbe roughly dressed miners, large numbers of whom were staking and losing their treasures on the turn of a card. He at once con cluded that here was afield that need ed religious influence, and be longed to be at work. He was present and assisted in the organization of the Pacific Annual Conference of theMeihodisi Episcopal Church. South, in April, 1852, and is the only remaining member of that first conference in California. The doctor was sent to perform his first work in the mines. His first sermon in California was preached in Sacra mento, where he stopped oneday while on his way to Grass Valley. He had a rough experience from the day he left Sacramento, but he stood up bravely. As he left this city he was homesick, but his thoughts were smn absorbed, while rolliug along in the old stage coach, in admiring the lovely Sacramento Valley, which was not gemmed, as now, with fine farm houses, vineyards, orchards .and gar dens, but only one wide, flower-span gled plain. As he arrived in Nevada City at night snow was falling rapidly. The crooked streets were crowded with miners and the gambling hells were wide open. Tbe “parsonage,’ 1 where he had to stop was a rough shed made of ‘‘shakes," built to the end of the church, which was constructed of the same material. It was rather hard to turn into such a building, where the rude blasts of the Sierras could sweep through. But that was the style of building all over the town. The preacher opened his commission at Grass Valley on the Sunday follow ing his arrival In the mines. The SAMPLES SENT IF DESIRED. CORRESPONDENCE INVITED.

Everybody sighed to think those good old days and ducks could never return, and the veteran hunter contin ued. “I remember I was out one day in April. I got In amorg tbe bipeds, and how many do you suppose I coun ted?” “Three hundred,” ventured one of tbe audience aftera long interval. “Three hundred? Why, I always killed over a thousand every time I went out! No, sir, I counted-over six teen thousand great, big, fat, plump, delicious decks, and then I had only counted those on one sideof the boat!” “How long did it take you?” “I don’t know, sir, 1 had no watch with me. Time is motbiug to a man counting ducks. I counted aloud, and when the ducks weresmalll counted two for one. By and by I got tired of coun tingand made ready for the slaugh ter.” "How many did you kill?” “Well, now, I suppose I could lie about it and say I killed nine or ten hundred, but I’m getting too near the grave for that. "No, I didn’t kill a blasted one, and that’s where the strange part of the story tomes in. When I began to lift that gun up, those ducks knew what I was up to just as well as a human being, aud what did they do? Why, sir, about two hundred of ’em made a sudden dive, swam under tbe boat, and raised up on her port side at once and upset her! Yes, sir, they did, aud there I was in tbe North Channel, in ten feet of water, boat upset, night coming on, and I in my wet clothes.” “Well?" “Well, I climbed up on the bottom of the boat, floated five miles, and was picked up by two Indians. We towed that upset boat to an island, and here another curious thing comes in. Un der the boat were two hundred and sixty-four large, plump ducks. They had been caught there when she upset sdu all we had to do was to haul ’em out and rap ’em on the head.” “Why, why didn’t they dive down and get from under the boat?" asked an amateur duck shooter. “Why didn’t they, sir”—why didn’t they? Well, sir, I might have asked ’em why they didn’t; but it was late, a cold wind bad sprung up, and I didn’t feel like talking! All I know is that I counted over sixteen thousand ducks, was upsH, captured two hun dred and sixty-fouraud have affidavits here in my wallet to prove everything I have stated. Does any man here want to see the documents?” No man did.

He is the observed of all ob servers, *Dd there is no other in the land who is so deferred to. Hia re flectiona on arriving at tbe present im portant milestone in bis lire must be of an agreeable nature, and it will be strange if he can avoid speculating on what tbe futnre may have in store for him. “Why should tbe spiritof mor tal be proud?” was tbe favorite poetic query of hia immortal predecessor, Lincoln, whose life was cut off at tbe summit of its career, and echo an swers, "Wby?” How maoy are there still living wbo have been prominent ly in the foreground, and are now scarcely heard of!

The fact that Editing With Scissor*. Philadelphia Call.j The above remark is frequently made in connection with newspapers, and is too frequently meant as a slur. On the contrary, uuderprnper circum stances, it should be regarded as a compliment of a high character. The same paper may be ably edited with the pen and miserably edited with tbe scissors. A mistaken idea preyaiis that the work of the latter is mere child’s play, a sort of hit-or-miss venture requiring hardly any brains and still less judgment; that the pro miscuous and voluminous clippings are sent in batches to the foreman, and with that the editor’s duty ends be is tbe ODlyiex-President alive does not save him from almost complete oblivion.

No one feels that it i^ • borne ot uumixed happiuess. When we gain that which we so ardently seek, is thefruitum perfect? Are there no specks upon the ripening fruit, no tainting mildew spots? Are no eyes olosed in the sleep of death that would have sparkled with the reflect ed light of our happiness? fa there no toDgue in the grave that would have blessed God for blessing ns? Oh Heaven! how little is to be hoped, and if but one is missing what shall re place tbe void ? In the changes in our South but few have escaped the rugged frowns of fortune.

The exchange editor is a painstaking, con scientious, methodical man, always on the alert, quick in appreciation, re tentive in memory, shrewd in discern ment. He reads closely, culls careful ly, omits aud amends, discards and digests, never ignoring the fact that variety is a great essential. There are sentences to recast, words to soften, redundances to prune, errors to cor rect, headings to b“made, credits to be ticing law in St. Louis. Senators Ross and Pomeroy, of Kan sas, are equally removed from the public gaze. Columbus Delano, Secretary of the Interior, has been a private citizen for years. J. Warren Keifery Speaker of the House of Representatives, bas been wholly retired, and is not now even we have known in our childish, inno cent attachments? Qur most perfect enjoyments, in mature life, bring with them a certain portion of disquietude, a craving after new or higher enjoy ments, an anxious calculation on the probable stability of those already ours, a restless anticipation of tbe fu ture. And there, iu that very-point, consists the great barrier separating youth from childhood. Tbe child en joys tbe present, makes no reference to the past and no inquiries into tbe future. He feels that he i» happy, and satisfied with tbat blest percep tion searches not into tbe nature of, or probable duration of big bliss.

But with tbe expectation of such moments, when our hearts com mune with heaven, when our thoughts are, in a manner, like angels ascend ing and descending thereon, what feelings of the human mind can be thought so nearly to resemble those of the yet guiltless inbabitanta T>f Eden as the sensation of theyoung and hap py child?

Man Killed to lave ttaay. One of the braveet aa well'm the moat notable river men whoever nav igated the Ohio la Capt.. David.M. Dryden, who now lives in .Ballard county, Ky. Capt. Dryden' is 75 years of age, aDd £pent 00 years of hia life on the Swiftaurv, a mail line packet ply ing between Louisville and Cincinnati. Tbe Paul Jones also ran in tbe aeme trade, and a great rivalry existed be tween the two boats. One cold day in January, 1886, both boats pulled out of tbe Louiaville har bor and the captain ot each resolved tbat his craft should be tbe flrtt te laud at Cincinnati. Pine knote, coal oil, bacon aud everything tbat weuld make a blaze were (brown into the furnace*, aud the mgiueera received orders to turn her wide open. For some time they were exactly aide by side, aud although both engines were doing their utmost, neither had the advantage. The captains and crew* were greatly excited, aud the boat* quivered uuder the immense steam pressure. Finally tbe Swiftsure be gan slowly to forge ahead of ita rival. Sylvester Edwards, pilot of the Jones, saw the race was lost, and in stantly resolved that if he could not distance the Swift sure he would sink her. He accordingly turned hi* bow lowaru tbe side of the other boat. Capt. Dryneu whistled aud shouted to him to keep off nut he did not notice me signals, and in a few moment* the sharp lion covered bow of the Jones was neatly against the SWlft- sure. Capt. Dryden realized at ohee 'hat u ole is something was done hia boat would be sunk and hi* passen gers drowned. Hastily snatching a rifle from the floor he fired through tbe window, and the ball, striking Edwards in the ventre of Hie forehead, killed him in stantly. Toe Jones then veered off and the •collision was aveited. Capt, Drydeu w as tried iu Burlington, Boone Cuuuly, aud acquitted. Poorly Paid Preachers. Warrentou Clipper.] It ie a fact uo less notorious than disgraceful that the average Georgia preacher is not appreciated aa he should be. His services are not esti mated at their true value. This is due chiefly to the fact tbat there are too many people in the church that are not Christians. If their hearts were right they would be willing to pay a legitimate price for this gospel. Tnere is no escape from this proposi tion. There are men ail over the State of Georgia whose names are en rolled on church books who, if salva tion was worth two dollars per ton, would not buy a pound. There is not a man in the State who is able to make a living that could not, if h* would, pay bis pastor at least ten dol lars per year. Such men would not hesitate to pay a lawyer twenty-five dollars to settle a petty cow dispute with q neighbor. "Yet, there are nu merous instances -on record where churches with seventy-five or more members pay their pastors bardly|one hundred ootlais a year. The able- bodied Christian that cannot contrib ute at least five dollars a year to the support of Lis pastor need entertain no hope of squeezing through the gate of heaven, even though be "should claim recognition on the terms of free salvation. Such a soul would cor rupt the society of heaven. Abolition of Slavory lu Brazil. St. James Gazotto J The movement in favor of abolish ing slavery iu Brazil is making excel lent progress, despite some discourage ments. Long ago the Legislature fixed tbe date by which every slave in the empire must be freed, but the Chamber of Deputies, acting in oppo sition to the Senate, has lately put a strained interpretation ■ upon certain of the clauses of the most recent law upon the subject,'wbieh will have the effect of delaying the latest day of en franchisement a further eighteen months. The Brazilian public has ex pressed great iudiguation at this ill- advised action, and, by way of protest, the recent progre-a of the Emperor, through the province of San Paulo was made the occasion of liberating many laves at the cost of the local munici- pali'ies. Wheu a prominent abolition ist, Senator Bouifacio, of^Santos, died recently, bis native town honored hia memory by enfranchising the wbole of the slaves wilbin ils jurisdiction. Herein Santos was but following the example of ihe province of Ceara and Hie Amazons, in both of which the last slave was freed some year* ago. The slave owners are being quite fairly treated iu tbe way of compensa- tion. A FrontieABditor’s Woe*. Klckapoo (Dak.) Sentinel.] We dislike todiscuss family matter* in our columns, as everybody knows, but the siory that Jeff Tarleton is tell ing around town about our difficulty last Tuesday night is a lie, such a* no body bur a dirty coyote would be guil ty of. We have beard of bim aud his gassing at D«n MeGeehan’a saloon. The facts are that we told this red headed slouch to stop keeping company with our daughter. When we returned home last Tuesday night, about tl o’clock, we found -him just leaving our front porch. There were words, and we admit that we called bim a greasy tramp. When be made a pass for us we grubbed him by tbe whiskers, and when he broke loose we kicked him in the small of the back, and our only regret now is tbat we did not break bis backbone. Tbe lie tbat be tells is tbat we drew a gun, which he snatched, and then ran us in the house. Nobody saw the fra cas, and, of course, he can lie, but Jo- siah Haygood, across (be way, heard tbe saiuto tbat we gave him as he clawed the gravel down the street. Don’t eorne our way again, Jefferson. The questi >u having been asked: “Where is the ameu-corner in the Methodist church?" an old class leader answered: “When we had an amen-corner it was at) ov^r the meet ing house and much of the adjoining county.” Just so! Tbat was in the days of the meeting-houses, and where they still exist (he amen-corner ia yet to be found. But in these days of churches, organs and organized choirs a hearty amen, uttered in approval of the enunciation of gospel truth, would frighten propriety out of its seif-eom- piacency, and even out of the church.
