Wo clasps out hands, tho blithe young years

We laughed aloud, nor dreamed of tear and sigh.
We blessed our fate, the tide of hope ran high
When we clasped hands - the blithe young years

We saw I»ve flit befor** us cn the r.ay.
And shine with light ibut far outshone the day.
Wo heard his call, we hastened to obey.
We sought him eagerly ie->: he'd delay
To show the site where his sweet city lay.

Tin- Hammock and the Swing.
A writer in The Chicago News gives
the result of an exjx-riment, showing that
the instinct of children has in it, not only
a love for recreation of a choice sort, hut
a sanitary common sense. A number of
swings were suspended at a summer
home for children; and near by were slung
two dozen hammocks. The latter were
almost always full, but the swings rarely
were in use. The hammock is the most
natural invention to give perfect restand
ease to the whole body, with a delicious
sense of motion and activity Every
home should have several hammocks
swung under trees, f<>r tho use of both
adults and children. It will tend greatly
to relieve tho strain of every (lav toil,
find so sweeten the intercourse of its
members.—Globe-Democrat.
How to Enjoy Life.
To enjoy life does not mean going or
staying. If you can watch a tree grow
ing, a flower blooming or the blue sky
deejwning; if you can listen to a goose
squawking along a dusty lane, to a pul
let cackling over a first egg, to a sleepy
child crooning herself to sleep with a lit
tle tune; if you can watch a cow licking
her calf, a young mother suckling her
babe, and take a big interest in all these
things, feeling in the marijnv of you
their meaning and that they are a true
part of life's sweetness and simplicity,
why then I think you may truly answer
•‘Yes, oh yes,” when one questions you
‘‘Do you enjoy life, good sir?”
It is not a good habit to be bored of
tilings, to cultivate ennui. Every day
the sun comes up and shines, and hearts
lieat and people are lx>rn. and some die
and some marry and some hate and
more love, so who are you and what are
you to strut around like a fool of a tur
key gobbler the week lief ore Thanksgiv
ing and say you are bored and life is toe
dull for your palate? After all you fill
no more space than a fool takes on the
sidewalk or under the green grass: so be
careful how you venture to draw about
you a circle of exclusiveness. Be careful
bow you fall inro the wav of thinking the
earth was made for you. Do not. insist,
as many Hellish people do, on going
through the world with an air cushion
upon which you may sit in luxurious
ease, while there are only stony benches
for the rest of poor mortality.—Catharine
Cole in New Orleans Picavune.

French Inspection of Rutter.
Among the recent decrees made in
France is one relating to the inspection
of butter for the repression of fraudulent
dealings. By this special persons are
authorized to take samples of butter in
any place, whether tho butter is exposed
for sale, stored in a warehouse or in
transit by land or water. Each sample
taken is to l>e subject to a special exam
ination. Pure butter, mixed butter,
margarine, oleomargarine and grease in
tended for consumption, in transit, must
be contained in closed packages, and the
origin and nature of the merchandise
must be conspicuously specilied thereon.

Death in Court Plaster.
“Isinglass court plaster” is a material
most j>lentcourtly pregnant for evil. It
furnishes an ideal atmosphere and pabu
lum for bacteria, and has sent many an
unfortunate to the ground. It is ques
tionable whether it can be disinfected 60
as to be safe. Phlegmon, pseudo and
true erysipelas are its mewt usual com
panions; its most frequent victim being
tiio accomodating and officious person
(or his friends) who carries it about his
person for emergencies, and who dispen
ses it with a “lick and a stick.”—Dr. A.
It. Jenkins in The Annals o( Surgery.
Disposition of tho Dead.
The disposition of the dead is attract-
g much attention in England. The
i question is being agitated by the English
| Burial Reform association. During late
; years there has been more or less discus-
i sion on this topic. The objection to the
! present mode of burial is based on two
I grounds. First, the sanitary reason, and
; second, the financial cost. As funerals
j are managed in the present time they are
| expensive and fail with much weight
; upon the poor, who are as fond of mani
festing their respect for tho dead by largo
funerals as are tho rich. A medical
authority in London declares that the
average cost every year for burying the
dead in England and Wales alone is
$25,000,000. This would make the
average expense of every funeral about
$50. In the United States it cannot be
any less.
The sanitary objection is based upon
the reports of sanitary authorities that
communities living in the neigh liorhood
of graveyards suffer from ailments to
which those who live a distance from the
place of burial are strangers. Disraeli,
in the house of lords, for this reason
urged that all the God's acres in Great
Britain should bo closed. These reasons
are making many converts to cremation.
The best evideneo of the growth of this
idea is to be found in the strength of the
International Cremation congress, which
was held about a year ago in Milan.
The roll included representatives from
every part of the civilized world.—De
troit Free Press.
By Rail in England.
When traveling by rail in England you
are not only looked after by the officials
with great care (for you are under a
“parental government’ q, but by law you
are not allowed to be careless; in fact, it
is a criminal act to injure yourself, even
by accident. In many cases you are
locked in the coaches so that you cannot
leave the train while it is in motion, but
if the door should be unlocked, and you
jump out lx-fore the proper time, or if
you attempt to board a train after it has
started, you are arrested and liable to a
heavv fine.—Home Journal.
Luch Saved the Trains.
Efflclonoj’ of French Detectives.
The French detective force is organized
on the plan of the survival of the highest
efficiency, and no clearer recognition of
this fact can be found than is shown in
the circumstance that whereas French
forgers, highwaymen, burglars and hom
icides who are able to reach the city of
London in security usually enjoy Immu
nity from arrest while they remain there,
hardly a case is known of a professional
criminal from England who ever sought
or obtained refuge in Paris.—New York

Nova Scotia’s "Fairy Bocks."
The Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington has sent an expedition to Nora
Scotia aiul secured fae-si miles of the
“fairy rocks,” on which are curious
hieroglyphic characters, evidently very
old, which may throw some light on the
history of tho early discoveries of Amer
ica. The markings are cut in upon a
rock of highly polished slate, and the
intaglio is abemt a sixteenth of an inch
J eep.—Boston Budget.
I remember some t ears ago when I
had charge of trains on a southern road,
where telegraph offices were few and far
tietween. of giving an order to the oper
ator at a certain station to hold the north
l>ound passenger train for orders, so that
I might help the south bound passenger
train to make its meeting point, the latter
being somewhat late. The operator re
peated the holding order, for which I
gave him O. K. I tlien gave tho south
bound train an order to nee some of the
north bound train’s time to make the
meeting point. Instead of holding the
north bound train for orders the oper
ator let it go by him. The road was
crooked, and as both trains were be
tween telegraph stations I started to walk
the floor and wait until I should hear of
their coming together. The suspense was
terrible, almost unlltting me for my other
duties. As good luck would have it, the
north bound train, which had undisputed
right of the road, was delayed before
reaching the meeting point. When the
first train reached a telegraph station I
felt relieve-1. lait the strain had been so
terrible on my nerves that I was not good
for much for several days, and the expe
rience of that morning will ever remain
in my mind.—Train Dispatcher in Globe-
Democrat.

The Author’s Hardest Task.

ist keep each character definitely before

Origin of Steam Power.
The first records we have of steam
being applied as a motive power are
found in a manuscript entitled, “Spirit-
alia Sen Pneuinatica. ” written about 200
years B. L'.. by Hero, a learned piiiloso-
pher of Alexandria.
In it' he describes a little instrument
which he calls an “feohpiie" or "wind
ball.” It consists of a hollow ball of
metal supported on trunnions, and hav
ing a number of jets lient at right angles
and equally distant from the points of
support. Steam is admitted into the bail
through one of the trunnions, anil as soon
as it is introduced it issues violent!}' from
the mouth of each jet, making a noise
like the rushing of the wind, and hence
i its name. On the opposite side of each
jet it presses without being able to escape,
and this unbalanced pressure makes the
gk>be revolve, giving up a form of rotary
engine by winch machinery can be set in
! motion.
| The first really practical steam engine
was invented by Thomas Newcomen, a
blacksmith of Dartmouth, England, and
was put in operation in pumping out
mines alxmt 1711.—“J. H. EL” in Boston
Budget.

September, open for business in the city of
Newnan, a warehouse. The undersigned have
been elected as managers, with full power to conduct and con
trol the same. They are responsible for any losses that may

to require comment here. We will keep at the scales a com
petent and trustworthy weigher. Our charges will be reason
able. We have also arranged to make liberal advances, at
reasonable rates, to those who wish to store and hold their
cotton for spring prices.. We solicit the patronage of all far
mers in this and adjoining counties, and ask a‘liberal share of
the buyers and merchants of the city. We extend to and ask
of the managers of other warehouses the usual business cour
tesies. We shall make no radical changes in the usual meth
ods, but conduct it on sound business principles. To the Al
liance brethren of the adjoining counties we extend a cordial
invitation to bring your cotton to this city and weigh with us.
To the members of the Farmers’ Alliance in this county we

tion, (through your delegates,) managed by men of your own
selection. Brethren, let there be perfect unity among us and
business success will crown our efforts.
