THE MORN AND EVE OF LIFE.
"Oh. fom»’>= n star of hearenlv birth.
EnliKhwninp every human sky
Commissioned to exats mankind
And lift It* low ambition* Itiprh
And wealth's a bird, of plunitui'* frrand.
That soars unlimited and free
Bedecked with |*>wer with rank adorned
Who envies not Its l|!——v-
And love's a dower Kiirjsi- ina tisvet.
That blossoms In the fertile heart.
And to each Ihougrhi am f word and deed

A man's the waiter of Pis tr.:<- "
Tims sinits cay youth, with hope elate.
For the tnom of life has come;
All things are hrl^hi
With a rosy lift!it
How fair is the rising sun
"‘Yea. fame’s n ntnr of heavenly birth.
The' shines with un laspl w;t ray.
But stars are fickle, trails,cnt :.tings;
They fade with coming of the day.
And wealth's a bird, of plumage grand.
That knows r.o law save its own lust.
An ! yet, its haughty pinions cleft.
How oft its feathers (rail the dust.
And love’. a flower, surpassing sweet.
That charms the gazerv. heart . nd eye.
Btit, of the earth conceived, tc-got.
It blooms to wither and to me
Fame, wealth and love tho - one may find.
They‘11 bring not joy nor peace of mind;
A man's the creature of hi.; lot"
Thus sighs old age, by hope forgot.
For tiie eve of life is come;

• Curious Case of Insanity.
“Well, yes," said a well known med
ical practitioner, who lives within ;i da\ ’a
walk of the city hall. "1 do meet some
very curious cases and people sometimes. |
I can hardly say'what is the most pecu- j
liar malady 1 hare < t er seen, hut a lady l
I am attending is suffering from a form i
of lunacy for which 1 can find t o piece- I
dent. She thinks she is being starved to j
death and neglected by. her rt latives, j
who arc in reality most devoted to her. ‘
She is about 40 years old, and not very ;
long ago was quite a pretty bill - woman. '
Today I suppose sbo weighs 230 pounds, j
and has the most enormous and unnat
ural appetite you ever heard of. She j
has five grown up children and lives j
with a married daughter.
“I have known her wake up the en- J
tiro household in the middle of the night j
and demand rice and milk. While eat- j
ing it she wept and declared that her in- !
human daughter was trying to starve 1
her. It would have been laughable, but j
for the pathos of it all, to see this im- .
mensely stout lady seated on the floor,
shoveling rice into her mouth with one
hand, while with tho other she wiped
away the tears that the supposed cruel
conduct of her daughter had caused
to flow. When not craving for food she i
is a devoted mother and estimable lady. ■
Tho least delay in attending to her crav- j
ings transforms her into a dangerous !
lunatic. She storms, shouts, and will
attack any one. She will never lie cured,
but, except as to her food, her sanity is
absolute.— Brooklyn Eagle.
Boston Library's Literary Cariosities.
Under the glass showcases of the Bos- j
Ion public library—supposed to be the
!nost complete collection of books in this
tountry—are exposed to view many lit-
trary curiosities of a most interesting
description. For instance, there is a copy
sf The Nuremburg Chronicle, published
fifty years after the invention of print
ing, with wood cuts, pnd dated 1423.
Near by is the epistle of St. Jerome in
black letter, dated 1318. with Martin
Luther’s autograph on the fly leaf. The
title page of litile volume in the hand
writing of David Garrick has tni3 in-
f-cription: “A Dialogue Between an Actor
and a Critic, by way of Prologue to the
English Opera Called Tempest.” An • id
t aped b> )k is the "Indian Primer, or
the Fir.-t Book by which Children may
Know Trulv to Read liie Indian Lan
guage, and Milk for Babes.” One B.
Green, of Boston, printed this in 1720.
!!• re is also the first b Hot cast in South
Carolina by a colored man It originally
belonged to William Lloyd Garrison.
Likewise on exhibition is the smallest
complete book ever printed. It is a copy
of Dante’s "Divina Commeuia,” struck
o!T from the smallest type ever cast.
Two sheets of paper, cut into sixteen
parts, were enough to contain the whole
14.223 verses. The leaves-measure two
inch', s in I iigth by one and a half in
width. Tn<' tyi>e was cast in lSoO, but
the compo itors and proofreaders cm-
I'loved on th“ work repeatedly abandoned
it, on account of the eye strain, and it
was not completed until 1873. Hie type
was t<x> small to "distribute.” and so,
after using, it was melted and cast over
again. Another interesting volume is
‘•The Indian Bible, Translated by the
Apostle John Eliot.” It was printed in
18‘J3 at Cambridge, in Kutick dialect, a
jiortion of the type being set by "praying
Indians.” A book dated 1373, by Latin
John, '.he famous negro scholar and poet
i.; so rare that the British museum lias
no copy of it. Juan Latino—as his
name properly was—is celebrated as one
of the most learned men of tho Sixteenth
century. lie was professor of Greek and
Latin in the cathedral school of Grenada,
an accomplished swordsman, a beau, a
wit and musician—in short, a sort of
Admiral Crichton in burnt cork, as it
were. lie fell in love with onu of the
b'aulies of Grenada, and tiiov were mar
ried by the bishop of the cathedral, Don
John of Austria acting as best man.—

Ancestors of the English.
England and the English do not, after
all, derive their name from the Angles,
according to the long rooted tradition, so
declares a German government professor,
Dr. Boning. After extensive researches,
he has discovered that tho word “Eng
lish” x>riginate« from the "Ettgern, ” a
numerous and powerful Saxon race liv
ing near the banks of the Weser, on the
North sea. This theory rests also upon
the authority of the old British monk
Gildas, who lived much earlier than
Bede, and who speaks only of tho Sax
ons who colonized Britain. Further,
Wonder* of tlio Dead Sea.
One of tho most interesting lakes or
inland sens in the world i * the Dead sea,
which has no visible outlet. It is not
mere fancy that has clothed the Dead
sea in gloom. The desolate shores, with
scarcely a green thing in sight, and scat
tered over with black stones and ragged
driftwood, form a fitting frame for the
dark, sluggish waters, covered with a
perpetual mist, and breaking in slow,
heavy,, sepulchral toned waves upon the
, beach. It seems as if the smoke of the
j wicked cities was yet ascending up to
j heaven, and as if tho moan of their fear
ful sorrow would never leave that God
smitten valley. It is a strange thing to
: see those waves, not dancing along and
sparkling in the sun, as other waves do.
; but moving with measured melancholy,
■ and sending to the car, as (hey break
■ languidly upon the rock, only doleful
j sounds. This is, no doubt, owing to the
• great heaviness of the water, a fact well
, known and which we amply verified in
! the usual way, for, on attempting to
1 swim, we went floating about like empty
• casks.
! This experiment was more satisfactory
in its progress than in its results, which
Dr. Bening points out that our supposed . wcru a Te ‘ r y unctuous skin and a most
forefathers, the Angles, dwelt on the ; pestiferous stinging of every nerve, as if
Baltic, further off, and that their coun
try was much smaller than tho land of
the Engern.—Frank Leslie’s.
Novel Railway In Switzerland.
A Swiss engineering novelty—hitherto
considered an impossibility—is an in
clined railway on which the cars are
drawn by cable round a curve. From
tho Lake of Lucerne the track curves
upon an angle of 112 degs. to the sum
mit of the Burgenstock—1,330 feet above
the lake and 2.860 feet above sea level
Tho line is 3,030 feet long, and com
mences with a gradient of 32 per ceut.,
wliich increases to 33 per cent, for more
than half of tho distance. Tho motive
is electricity, generated by two
we had been lieaten with nettles. Nor
was the water wo took into our mouth a
whit less vile than the most nauseous
drugs of the apothecary. That fish c;m-
not live in this strong solution of bitumen
and salt is too obvious to need proof;
but to say that birds cannot fly over it
and Live is one of the exaggerations of
travelers, who perhaps w re not, like
ourselves, so fortunate as to see a flock
of ducks reposing on the water in appar
ently good health. And yet this was all
the life we did see. The whole valley
was one seething caldron, under more
than a tropical sun.—Missionary Herald.

To Have a Public Laundry-
The English people, in view of ti; ■ vice
and destitution existing in tae lower
quarters of London, which has been
brought to public attention lately on ac
count of tho Whitechapel murders, are
considering tho question of erecting an

Disease of Grono Vines.
The vine growers of the Santa Anna
and San Gabriel valleys of California
think that u new disease has attacked
their vines. They call it "sap sour.”
When attacked the vines wither and die
at once. It is infectious and spreads
rapidly. The best remedy thus far
known is to pull up and burn the vines
the moment they show the blight.-

A Costa Clean Delicacy.
Aside from the scant rations he brings,
the Yularo’s food consists mainly of wild
hogs, or such other animals as he may
bo able to bill, eked out by tortillas, and
us an occasional luxury a dish of red
beans stewed in fat. Monkeys are con
sidered the choicest of morceaux, par
ticularly the largo rod species, which are
as highly relished by the hunters as are
raccoons by southern darkies or Thanks
giving turkeys by New Englanders, in
deed Jin many parts of Spanish America
monkey meat is eaten by both natives
and foreigners, whose gastronomer tastes
are harder tc please than those of tho
hungry Yularoes. I can, myself, testify
to the fact that a well broiled slice of
young atv, though a trifle tough and
strong, U not mere unpalatable than
bear steak or buffalo meat, which it
great!' - resembles. If one could over
come the cannibalistic ideas engendered
bv Darwinian nonsense, and not feel as if
feeding upon black baby, monkey flesh
would be decidedly preferable to pork as
an article of diet.—Cor. Philadelphia

The Farmers’ Alliance will, on the ist day of
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
be sustained through the neglect or mismanagement of the
employeess. We have rented the house known as the Rus
sell Warehouse, which is one of the best in the city, being
large and well suited for the business. We have employed
! Mr. J. H. Russell to superintend the business. Mr. Russell
1 has for several years conducted business at this stand. His
| moral character and business qualifications are too well known
to require comment here. We will keep at the scales a com-
Ipetent 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, hut 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
desire to say, this is a business enterprise of your own crea
tion, (through your delegates,) managed by men of your own
selection. Brethren, let there be perlect unity among us and
business success will crown our efforts.
