A feeble flower Which Doclining as it blooms; hears at heart tho withering power, Tho canker that consumes; A wintry cloud, an A pril beam, A stage of empty strife, A waking thought, a troubled dream, Ah! sut-b is IfJo! A web of elyockot'cd hopes and fear.--; A bubble on the wave— A shade composed of smiles and tears. A pilgrim to tho grave! A barqne upon the wafers tossed, (Tho sport of storm and strife,) Her rudder gone, her anchor lost— Ah! su.-h is life ! And what is death? A dreaded doom To pleasures silken slave; Who fours to slebp amid tho glooM That wraps ibe siUnt grave, .To quiet the scone of earthly joys, .Resign Oh, wish would yield gilded his breath? auibitioa’s toys, To woWoine death? The soul that feels affliction’s pang, To lifa’g dark ills a prey, Soars to the source from whence it sprang And spurns tho cumbrous clay. No more may terrors shake my breast, Or waste my feeble breath!' Death rocks tho cradle of our guest. Then welcome death! WAS 11E TEE MAN? The Alleged Killing of the Alleged Lane In Alabama. Montgomery Advertiser. Fame is either too tardy or too rapid as a general thing. lu tho case of A. J Lane, however, who sometimes called himself Harwell, and who has been dead and hurried these two mouths, and more, it only camo to tho knoleuge of the worid within the last, few days that he was a val ant Federal officer, and was shot to death near Montgoms ery, Ala., while laying the mandate of Lis outraged government on the trumpery of an illicit whisky distiller. This is the infon o;i m which the Radio cal press of the North is now dishing up.fat their l;;i.o >dy Lane, alias Harwell,* invaded Mhtit-1 gomery last fall, or early in the winter; he came fromJBiimiugham, hangiug es¬ caped from jail there; he loitered about the saloons and gambling houses of this city, a ehiitlosa, eiothful creature, no oue caring for him, which treatment ho seemed to reciprocate; nobody seetneu to know whence ho came, how ho lived or where he slept; he was a tall, gawky, ungainly coarse looking, rather spare made person, with a long, straggling, yellow moustache, which was always clotted vvith tobacco juice; he was al¬ ways vulgar in Ilia personal appearance, and more careless of property than a plantation darkey. Thus Lane appear¬ ed here during the first mouths of his sojourn; he was known to'teli many hair breadth escapes and valiant deeds iu “Georgy” In other days before he found the way to Alabama’s happy hunting grounds. Sumo time last spring Policeman Beall came down to Mont¬ gomery, handcuffed Lane, and took him to Bitminghatu, where an indictment for burglary and ono for carrying con¬ cealed weapons were pending in Jeffers son county court agaiust him. lie man¬ aged to compromise, or pay out of the eoBcealqd weapon indictment, and we do hot know what became of the other case. Anyhow, after a month or two, Lane tu, ned up in Montgomery again, and moved along in the same old rut, which he had reduced to a fine science. DuriDg the last summer, a gentleman; who resided here, in a spirit of charity, engaged Lane to work on the former's farm, near Fitzpatrick’s etation, on the M & E. Railroad. So Lane went out of towu and in a couple of weeks there¬ after, one night in the dead hours, while attemptiug to render insensible a a virtuous young woman for a hellbh purpose, ho jwas arrested by certain parties who had watched accordingly*; Li\ne attempted seizing to escape at the rail¬ road station, the gun of one of the guard, he was shot dead; and this was the manner of his taking off’ wffiile serving, so-called, the boat government the world ever saw. During Lane’s, peregriua; ions in theso parts, nearly a year, he haa nothing to do with the U, S- service, or any other service except that of dead head drinks aud free lunch houses; be certainly nev er raided on whisky, except when he was asked to take someth lug. It now appears that Mr. Clark, U. S. Revenue officer at Atlanta, Ga., was on Lane’s bond for some kind of offence in that State; the case was called the other day, and no Lane responding, the scheme now is to serve two purposes, Clark’s bond money is saved," and the Radical heart is fl red over the killing of Lane, the martyred champion of at¬ tempted rapes. We are willing to kill a good yard deg. and justify our? Hal teal Northern population, “murder;” to a c«rta^»|fextout, beseech if them they cry out but we to ‘give a rest'on Lane. THE SKCU.L XU' PRESS. Rev. T. Do WittTalrtfage say8 of the secular press, taking ftifta text: “And the wheels were full of'eyes.” Ezra x. 1R, and “For the Ath.cnIans and stran¬ ger? which were there, spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or hear some new things.’’ AcfS xvfi, 21. Ibe speaker alluded to tire antiquity of newspapers the aud said “What ipat To the first to answer cry, tho news!” was China, where, one, hundred ago in Pekin, a journal ---- was printed > on silk. After narrating the establishment of the first newspaper in Boston, in 1031, and in Philadelphia, in 1734 the , speaker added that the newspaper did not suddenly spring on the world, it came gradually. The circular begat , the pamphlet, the pamphmt the quar-. )erly, the quarterly tho monthly, the monthly the weekly the weekly tho daily-, but just as soon ps newspapers began to demonstrate its power it was shackled, “Useless, useless, useless!” exclaimed Taiwage. ‘There is nothing that despotism hates as it does news. papers. Napoleon I. said tho only sato ; place to keep editors was in prison If I had to choose between a government j without newspapers, and uowspapeis without government, I would choose j the latter. A filthy :and scurrilous newspaper 13 a curse, but good news¬ papers aro a blessing. Thank. God that wheels aro full of eyes. A good newspaper is tho grandest blessing that God has givon this country.' j Mr. TaVmage nest alluded to the prevailing impression thfit anybody can edit a newspaper. S&rabe; ‘The tbeo-, rv that anybody can make djjfstrous. a newspaper a success is often Three or four fortunes are often a|| |ked swallowed up b fine people are eoh'd^SPPy. eon that brains are required to journal.

An editor must, be an encyclopedia. More quali¬ ties are needed as an editor than iu any other business. I say this to savo rneu from bankruptcy. Men who think that without experience they can run a news¬ paper, have softening of the brain. Such men had better throw their pock¬ et books iu their wile s lap and rush up to Bloomingdale asylum. ]Laughter.] Newspapers aro a tunnel to bring out tue waters of knowledge to the people; the Bible, Webster’s dictionary and good newspapers fit men for the duties of this life aud the next.’ Mr. Talmage advocated an impersonal conduct for newspapers. He said that many men wrote brilliant articles, but their names were never known. Ho believed that articles of merit should bo signed by the author’s name and predicted that such a course would yet be adopted. ‘Ia tliit time* etxid he, ‘they’ will get eredit for aii the good ffioy write. Suppose a man’s charao’er is assailed, wlio is respqnsihloi It is concealed iu editorial ‘we.’ He further advoca¬ ted editorial and reporcorial depart¬ ments in the colleges and institutions of learning as a means of fitting men for positions on newspapers A Fatal Encounter Between Two Bro lh rs. Holly Springs, Miss., Nov. 10—A terrible tragedy was enacted night before last just on the edge of DeSeto county and about twenty m&es? from this place. Tho following,are the par tlculars: About midnight Leonidas | Joyner, who had retired for the night, i wns aroused by his brother Julius joy ner, whocaroe home drunk and entered ■ the room where Leonidas -lay. Lecni das alluded to the condition and habits j ! of his brother somewhat ... bitjerly. There i upon Julius denied that fib Mu was was c*—‘ drunk ; and defied Leonidas to tesf the matter ; by trying to put film out. Leonidas, in his night drees, at once go^ up, when a most desperate encounter with knives between the brothers. When ) mother aud 6isters rushed in, i by the noise, they found Leoni\ ly i jg on the porch in front of the dead, with bis throat cut, a stab the heart, besides a number of her cuts and stabs any of which have proved fatal. Julius was; stabbed several times m the breast, may recover. Both men were well in this county, and the tragedy universally regretted- Leonidas was a steady, quiet, bard work¬ tnau; Julius is reckloss and quarrel¬ when drinking. $1 PER YEAR A. Drunken Fight. Decatur, Nov. 7,—At Cullman, Ala, to-day, an immense crowd of people 1 attended court, tho majority of them i getting on a general drunk, and final ly getting up a light of immense pro portions, in which brick, rock a and knives were feeely used. At this writ¬ ing several persons are seriously wound¬ ed, and many windows in town are shattered to atoms, No pistol shots have yet been fired, although it is fear¬ ed it win come to that before morning So general was the drunk that the judge had to be carried from the court-house and put into his littlo bod to sober up, an d court was adjourned. Cullmau is a German settlement away ap on the top of Sand Mountain, thirty throe raiios from Decatur. Its people ar0 pwjea ble and prosperous. They have made the mountain top to bios- 8om as the rose, and have drawn into their town an immense trade from the ! mountains on both sides of the railroad. I The natives from the mountains naturs ally come into Cullman to get their sup¬ plies, and many of them don't neglect to get aboard a plentiful supply of whis¬ ky also, aud on such occasions they delight in quarreling with their German friends. Such was the case to day. Tho fight was between the Americans and the Germans, the former being on the offensive and tho latter on tho do fensivo, I am informed that some time sinco a party of Americans made an attack on the Germau colony of Cullmau but tho Germans were too much for them, as they caught their tormentors, aud denuding them of their clothing, drove them to their homes in an entire¬ ly nude state, leaving their clothes hanging on a tree, and for which they never returned.

Cola Mutilation. A new method of mutilating silver currency is being employed by uumbsrs of patent- medicine venders and other* to advertise their goods and. wares. Of late large numbers of coius have been received in the Treasury which are stamped on euc sido with an adver¬ tisement. The stamps used are the same sort of a die which cuts Hie letters atui words into the coin. In most in¬ stances uiio name of the owner oi the article advertised is not cut on the coin, but the advertisement simply recom¬ mends a certain nostrum or article. As the coiu is stamped only on oue side, it can be passed very readily, exposing only the perfect side. This is a mutila¬ tion of currency and a violation ol law. The secret Service has been directed to » u v «®tiigat«*Di8 aud hunt out atui pi os ecute the offenders. The Smallest Newspaper man lit Tho World, Pout-appeal.
