But I sat down be¬ fore him lor the purpose of study¬ ing him out. My bead restad on a cushion of violet velvet, softly light¬ ed by a lamp, the lamp which she will light never again. [Translator No. 2. wishes it distinctly under stood that he is not responsible for a bed mistake in this verse, which will be seen by comparison with the original poem.] Poe bid it thus: But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o’er She shah press, ah nevermore. The word ‘‘she” should be in italics, but as this paper does not use them, parlor elocutionists are reminded that they can secure the proper ef¬ fect by reading the verse in a low tone and suddenly raising the voice to a stentorian yell at the word “she.”] The air seemed lighter, as if per¬ fumed by the invisable censer of the seraphim. “Oh miserable one!” 1 exclaimed, “tby God has sent thee by his angels respite and nepenthes. Drink, oh drink this good nepenthes and forget this lost Lenore.” The i‘aven said “Never again.’’ “Prophet,” I said to him, “bird of misfortune, biip or demon, tell me, I entreat you, since the devil sends you into my desolate lodge, tell me, I implore you, is there any balsam obtainable in Judea?” The raven said, “Never again.” “Prophet, bird or demon, by the heavens, by the God whom we adore the two of us. say, oh say, to my soul laden with grief, whether it is going to embrace some day in Eden a sanctified young girl—a rare and radiant girl whom the angels style Lenore.” The raven said, “Never again,” “Since you talk that way,” I yek led, “get cut! Quit mr! Go off into the tempest of the night on the somber shores of Pluto . Don’t leave here one solitary black feather to remaind me of the awfi^l lie you have just uttered.

His eyes have the glare of a demon who dreams. My lamp pojects his shai dow on the floor. And this shadow will be effaced “never again.” Chill is a great couutry for news papers. There are more than forty of them inValpariso and Santiago, and there are others in all the head towns of departments. Chili has many literary men, including a regi¬ ment of poets, and aiso many scien tifiemen and a multitude of states¬ men an • generals. The schools are free, and the educational system pro vides for provincial lyeeums, normal sehoo an agricultural schools, an agricultural shool, schools for the arts and trades, military and naval academies and a national university all supported by the Government, In some years there have been 1000 students at the Santiago Universi t y.

Peel was in parliament at 21 and Palmerston was lord of the Admiralty at 28. Henry Clay was in the senate of the United States, contrary to the constitution, at 20. Judge Storey was at Harvard at 15, in cogress at 29 and judge of the supreme court of the United States at 32. Martin Luther had become largely distinguished at 24, and at 56 had reached the * top-most round of his world-wide fame. Webster was in college at 15, gave evidence of his great future before he was 26, and at 30 he was the peet of the ablest mau man in congress.

It’s sometimes said patent medi ernes art; for the ignorant. The doctors foster this idea. “The peo¬ ple,” we,re told, “are mostly ignorant when it comes to medical science.” Suppose, they are! What a sick man needs is not knowledge, but a cure, and t he midicine that cures is the medicine for the sick. Dr. Pier ee’s Golpen Medical Discovery cures the “do believes” and the “don't be lieves.” There’s no liesitance about it, no “If” nor possibly. It says—I can cure you, only do as I direct. Perhaps it falls occasional!!-. The maker hear of it when it doesbecau se they never keep the money when the medicine fails to do good. Sup pose the doctors went on that princi pie. We beg the doctors pardon. It wouldn't do! Price per Year, $1.00 SNAP SIIO TS. The devil never fails to pay' hack every call promptly. The sly fox knows that it does not pay to boast about it. The waiters seem to have struck while the iron was too hot. We are all worms of the dust when the street sprinkiers quit. The devil wants the earth. He is worse than a street car hog. The purposes of many peo¬ ple are higher than they can reach. “Old age is honorable,” hut we prefer to continue poung and green. The demagogue always finds time to build bridbe across chasms. The dude wears a high collar but it never reoches to the* top of his ears. * You touch the button and then go down after you own scuttle of coal. One’s friends and enemies combined make for him the heavy load of life. Man expects to be a pet as long as he lives and a sacred relic after he dies. Man is a great pig. i Let a girl chew gum if she wants to, to but she should not try to talk wTiile running her sweet mill. The Ram’s Horn drives the two following center shots: When you find a chronic fault-finder you generally find a yerson who loafs too much. When a man is seeking God with all his heart, such questions as where Cain found his wife don’t bother him much. “The mewl,” wrote a school boy, “is a large bird than the guse or turkey. It has two legs to walk with, 2 more to kick with and it wears its wings on the sfde of its head. It is stub¬ bornly backward about goihg forward.” > A motion for a now trial has been made in the “Lord Beres ford” case in the Floyd Superior court. Mr. Ham Almand had a fami¬ ly reunion last Sunday. All of his children and grand children were present and the day was highly enjoyed by all. The occasion was the celebration of Mr. Al mands 73d birthday. The signs are that hereafter, in many Georgia counties to¬ bacco will share the honors with king cotton. We have already noten the successful experi¬ ments made this year with to¬ bacco culture by farmers in Decatur and a few other coun tids. The' other day, Major Haynes, of Decatur county, sold his croy from ninteen acres of land. He pocketed $4000, That looks like a profitable crop.
