“ NOXV I LAY MK DOWN TO SLEEP."
It is said of the late John Quincy Adams
that he never went to Med without repeat
ing this little prayer, the first taught him
by the mother whose memory was so dear
to him to the last. There are two little
IKieuis, descriptive of a child saying this
prayer, that are among the tenderest in
our language. We combine into one the
best of both.—Exchange.
Golden head, so lowly bending,
Little feet so white and bare,
Dewy eyes, half shut, half opened.
Lisping out her evening prayer.
“ Now I lay,”—repeat it, darling—
“ Lay me,” lisped the tiny Ups
Os my daughter, kueeling, bending
O’er the folded linger tips.
“ Down to sleep,”—“To sleep,” she mur
' —l —rTtljlßl v i
“ I pray the Loro/* —I gently added,
“ You can say it all, I know.”
“ Pray the Lord,” The sound came faintly,
Fainter still—“ my soul to keep:”
Then the tired head fairly nodded, _
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened,
When I clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
“ Mamma, God knows all the rest.”
O, 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 whut might be miqr,
It should be that child’s petition,
Rising to the throne divine.
“ OUR LEFT’-MANASSAS.
TO JOSEPH K. JOHNSTON.
From dawn to dark they stood
That long midsummer’s day!
XVhilc fierce and fast the battle-blast
Swept rank on rank away!
From dawn to dark they fought—
With legious swept and cleft,
And still the wide, black battle-tide
Poured deadlier on our Left!
They closed each ghastly gap!—
They dressed each shattered rank!—
They knew how well —that freedom fell
XVith that exhausted flank!
“ Oli! for a thousand men !

And down they came with steel and
Four thousand to the fray!
They leapt the laggard train—
The panting steam might stay ! [flame,
And down they came with steel and
Four thousand to the fray!
Right through the-blackest cloud
Their lightning path they cleft,
And triumph came with deathless lame
To our unconquercil Left!

Ye, of your dead bereft!
Honor the Brave! who died to save
Your nil upon our Left!

RINGGOLD. GEORGIA. MAY 10, 1872.
Another Mamnath Cave.
Thirty Miles Beneath the Barth—A
Subterranean River —One Hundred
Acres of Lake—Wonderful Water
falls. ....
During the Utter part of the war, a
cave was discovered near Pineville,
McDonald county, Missouri, bat the
times were so unsettled that beyond a
careless, superficial examinatiou of the
more accessible portion of it, no gen
eral explorations have as yet been made.
Mr. C. C. Carpenter, a gentleman resid
ing in Pineville, gives the following as
the result of an expedition, made in
company with one or two of his friends,
in search of the wonderful:
“ The loeatkm of this new subterra
nean wonder U sixteen miles South
east of Pineville, McDonald county;
the entrance is on Sugar Creek, in a
ravine bearing the suggestive title of
4 Bar Hollow.’ You make your entrance
into the bowels of the earth through a
volcanic fissure seven feet wide by
twenty in length; you soon lose sight
of daylight, and find yourself in a long
entrance hall fully one hundred yards
in length, which terminates in the bat
room, so named by the explorers from
the thousands of bats that swarmed
within its dark and hidden recesses:
they flew about in swarms, making a
terrible noise in the arched roof above.
This room has three sides, each with
an aperture leading into smaller cav
erns or side rooms. The dimensions
of the room were taken by Mr. Car
penter, and said to be fifty by one hun-.
dred, the ceiling about twenty feet
from the floor.
44 Passing from this room, a walk of
about four hundred yards, through a
spacious hall, and we find ourselves in
the museum, so called from the number
of strangely shaped stalacties found
there. This roonfr ls in the shape of a
horseshoe. Nature most, certainly in
tended this room’for a church, since
the roof is arched in purely Gothic
style, with dome and columns, and to
finish off and make it complete, a pulpit
near the cpntre. The walls of this
magnificent'cavern are one hundred
feet high, but one of the most remark
able features about it is a fountain of
pure water, four feet in diameter. Turn
ing northward, we find a room sixty
feet wide, and filled almost full of a
glistening formation of stalactites,
which hang in curiously formed pend
ants from the roof.
44 To the south of this is a room which
should be named the bottomless pit,
since it apparently has neither bottom,
sides, nor roof. The darkness within
the place is appalling. Turning to the
cast the party walked a distance of
about a quarter of a mile, when they
came to a flight of natural steps, forty
or fifty in number, terminating in a
wide platform which formed the en
trance to a mammoth hall, supported
by Corinthian pillars of various thick
ness, and endless in number, as white as
snow, and glistening as though studded
with millions of diamonds. This hall
is probably two hundred feet in width,
and communicates with a number of
passages leading in various directions,
none of which have been explored.
“Proceeding on their way, the-ex
plorers found a river of running water,
coming no one knows from where. It
is about fifty feet wide and three feet
deep. The party followed its coarse
down stream to the fells, where the
water goes roaring over a precipice
into the darkness below.
“ The party retraced their way to the
mammoth hall, crossed the river, and
proceeded on their way. They passed
room after room of endless shapes, and
full of natural curiosities.
“ Miles of caverns were passed
through, each having outlets in others,
and all dark, but all fell of beauty
when lighted up with torches or lamps.
A lake of pure water was soon reached,
which was at first supposed to be a
river. Here a rude boat or dug-out had
been brought by a fugitive during the
late war. He had explored the lake,
and went northward until he thought
he was coming to a waterfall, when he
returned.
“Further explorations on the lake
developed the fact that the noise wts
made by a huge waterfell, where the
waters came pouring In from above.
The water fells a distance of sixty feet
The lake is circular in shape, and has
no visible outlet for water. It is about
one hundred acres in extent There
are eight or ten dark passages found
upon the banks of the lake, leading in
all directions, but the guide accompa
nying the exploring party lost his cour
age and refused to go further. The
party were then about eight or ten
miles from their starting point They
were in the cave forty-three hours.
Mr. Carpenter says there is another
entrance to the cave thirty miles away,
which old trappers and hunters say
leads to the lake.”

A lady witness said in a St Louis
Court: “Give me the least grain of
truth for a basis, and I can ruin the
character of any woman in the world.”
Let gossips ponder this remark, and
they will be brought to a realization of
its truth.

. Women and Poets.
L If I begin to quote Dr. Holmes I
shall aat know where to stop. His talk
is about women and poets, and these
are some of the bright sentences:
“A woman, notwithstanding she is
the best of listeners, knows her busi-.
ness, and it is her business to please.
I don’t say that it is not her business
to vote, but I do say that a woman who
does not please is a false note in the
harmonies of nature. She may not
have youth or beauty, or even manner;
bat she must have something in her
voice or expression, or both, which it
makes you feci better disposed towards
your race to look at or listen to. She
[knows that as well as we do; and her
ww. question artfr you have been talk
ing your soul into her consciousness is,
Did I please? A woman never forgets
her sex. She would rather talk with a
man than an angel, any day,
“The less there is of sex about a
woman, the more she is to be dreaded.
But take a real woman at her best mo
ments, well dressed enough to be pleas
ed with herself, not so resplendent as
to be a show and a temptation, with
the varied outside influences that set
vibrating the harmonic notes of her
nature stirring in the air about her—
and wliat has social life to compare
with one of those vital interchanges of
thought and feeling with her that
makes an hour memorable? What can
equal her tact, her delivery, her sub
tlety of apprehension, her quickness
to feel the temperature as the warm
and cool current* of talk blow by turns?
At one moment she is microscopically
intellectual,, critical, scrupulous iqffudg
ment as an analyst's balance, and the
next as sympathetic ns the open rose
that sweetens th#jjnfed from whatever
quarter it finds its way to her bosom.”
How to Become a Millionaire.
John McDonugh, the millionaire of
New Orleans, has engraved upon his
tomb a series of maxims he has pre
scribed through life, to which his suc
cess in business is mainly attributed.
They contain so much wisdom that we
copy them:
BULKS VOK THE GUIDANCE OF MY LIFE.
Remember always that labor is one
of the conditions of existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account
Do unto all men as ye would be done by.
Never put off till to-morrow what you
can do to-day.
Never bid another to do what yon
can do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trifling
as not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which docs not
first come in.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.
Study in j T our course of life to do
the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing neces
sary to your comfort, but live in an
honorable simplicity.
Labor to the last moment of your
existence.
Pursue strietly the above rules, and
the divine blessing and riches of every
kind will flow upon you to your heart’s
content.
First of all your life should be to,
tend by all means in your power to the
honor and glory of our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have ar
rived is, that without religion, no order;
and without religion, no happiness; and
that the aim of our being is to live
righteously, wisely and soberly.
Johm McDonough.

Good Counsel.— No young man can
hope to rise in society, or perform
worthily his part in life, without a /air
moral character. The basis of such a
character is a virtuous, fixed sense of
moral obligation, sustained and invig
orated by the fear and love of God.
The youth who possesses such a char
acter can bo trusted. Integrity, justice
benevolence, truth, are not with him,
words without meaning; he feels, and
knows their sacred import and aims in
the tenor of his life, to exemplify the
virtues they express. Such a man has
decision of character; he knows what
is right aud is firm in pursuing it; he
thinks and acts for himself, and is not
to be made the tool of unprincipled and
Aneserving politicians to do the dirty
work of party. Such a man has true
worth of character; his life is a bles
sing to himself, to his family, to society,
and to the world; and he is pointed out
to future generations as a proper ex
ample for the rising youth to emulate.

However many friends you may have,
do not neglect yourself; though you
have a thousand, not one of them will
love you as yon ought to love your
self.

Glutting the Professions.
We' fear that our young men are glut
ting the professions. Better that more
of then* go to trades aud farming.
Horace Greeley was elected an honor
ary member of one of the societies of
the. law schools at Lebanon, Tennessee.
ln the following brief letter,
that contains ft-wocld of solid applica
ble sense on this subject
New York, March 26, TfffSr
Dear Sir: —l have yours of the 23d
iustant, and gratefully accept (he honor
of which it notifies me. And now per
mit me to make an ungracious return
for-your kindness. 1 am impelled to
protest against the devotion of so many
young men—many of them our ablest
and brightest—to the profession of law.
I have no vulgar prejudices against that
pursuit—l know that many have nobly
served God and man in that calling—
I protest only because I see that pro
fession overcrowded while others arc
unfilled and neglected. Your State
needs this day ten thousand educated
and capable young men to teach her
where to look for mines and how to
open and work them; how to belt her
soil with additional railroads, laid with
steel wrought from her own vast wealth
of iron ore; how to multiply her fur
naces, factories, machine-shops, imple
ment manufactories, etc., etc. Yet she
leaves these needs unsupplied, while
she grinds out grist after grist of super
fluous lawyers and doctors. You will
not lieed my protest; still I ask you to
record it,’ for the benefit of the wiser
and more docile generations which I
trust are to succeed you.
Believe me, yours,
Horace Greeley.

How Small Expenditures Count.
Five cents each morning, a mere trifle.
Thirty-five cents a week not much, yet
it would buy sugar and coffee for a
whole family—s4o.27 a year—and this
amount invested in a savings bank at
the end of the year, and the interest
thereon at six per cent, computed an
nually, would in twelve years amount
to more than $689.00 —enough to buy a
good farm in the West.
Five cents before breakfast and din
ner and supper—you would hardly miss
it, yet it is fifteen cents a daj r —sl.os
per week. Enough to buy a small
library of books. Invest this as before,
and in twenty j-ears you have over
$3,000. Quite enough to purchase a
good house and lot
Ten cents each morning—hardly
worth a second thought, yet with it
you can buy a paper of pins or a spool
of thread. Seventy cents a week—it
would buy several yards of muslin—
s37.so in one year. Deposit this amount
as before, and you have $2,340 in twen
ty years—quite a snug little fortune.
Ten cents before breakfast, dinner and
supper—thirty cents a day. It would
buy a book for the children; $2.10 per
week, enough to pay for & year’s sub
scription to a good newspaper; $109.50
per year—with it yon could buy a good
melodeon, from which you could pro
cure sweet music, to pleasantly while
away the evening hours. And this
amount invested as before, would in
forty years produce the desirable sum
of $15,000.
A Truthful Sketch.
Let a man fail in business, what an
effect it has on his former creditors!
Men who have taken him by the.arm,
laughed and chatted with him by the
hour, shrug their sholders and pass on
with a cold “ How do you do?”
Every trifle of a bill is hunted up
and presented that would not have seen
light for months to come, but for the
misfortunes of the debtor. If it is paid,
well and good; if not the scowl of the
Sheriff, perhaps meets him at the corner.
A man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
wafted by favoring smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides
himself on his name and spotless char
acter, and makes his boast that he has
not an enemy in the world. Alas! the
change. He looks at the world in a
different light when reverses come
upon him. He reads suspicion on every
brow. He hardly knows how to move;
or do this thing or the other; there are
spies about him, a writ is ready for his
back. To know what kind of stuff the
world is mode of, a person must be un
fortunate, and stop paying once in his
lifetime. If he has kind friends, then
they are made manifest. A failure is a
moral seive; it brings out the wheat
and shows the chaff. A' man thus
learns that words and pretended good
will are not and do not constitute real
friendship.

twelve years of ago.
