Hou^e Built Of Cotton.
Of all substances apparently tho
least likely to be used in the construe-
ti,o u of a fireproof building, cotton
would, prehaps, take the first rank
and paper the second; and yet both
these materials are actually being etn
ployed for-tbe purpose indicated, mid
their use will probably extend. Com
pressed paper ptilp is successfully used
in the manufacture of doors, wall pun-
neliugs and for other purposes, with
the result that all risk of warping and
cracking is obviated, while increased
lightnes is attained and the fear of diy
rut is forever banished. Papiermaclie,
after having served a useful purpose
in . an unolstructive , manner for . years
as a material for small trays, pa> er
knives . and , other . light at tides, has _
now suddenly a-sumed a still more
important position in the industrial
world. A still more sudden aild
sfrikiug advance has been made in the
employment of cotton as a building
material. A preparation called cellu ¬
loid,in which cotton is a Fading ingre
dient, has been used lately as a
substitute for ivory in the m unitact
ore of such aitides as billiard balls
and paper cutters, and now a Cana-
dian manufacturer has iu veil tad a
process by winch compressed codon
may be used, uot merely for doors
and window frames, but for the whole
facade of large buildings. The enor-
mous and increasing demand for the
paper for its normal use as a printing
and writing material prevent the ex
tended use of papiermaclie as a build-
ing material, for which it is as well
suited in so many ways; but the pro-
dnetion of cotton is practically unlim¬
ited and there seems to be a larg ■
fit Id available for its use in its new
capacity ns a substitute for bricks—or
at least plaster—and wood, Treated
with certain chemicals and compress
td it can be made perfectly fireproof
and as hard as stone, absolutely air
ahd qauip proof; and a material is
thus produced admirably adapted for
the lining—internal—of buildings of
which the shell may or may not be
constructed of other material, while it
easily lends itself to decorative purpo¬
ses .—Colonies and India.
Hea'en.
There every house is a Pall iee,
every step a triumph, every stroke
of a bell a wedding peal, every day a
jubilee anil every hour a rapture.
The reunions of Heaven, too, will be
better than all our conceptions of
them. How glad we are to meet a
friend in some foreign land when we
have crossed the seas! but when we
have crossed the sea of death, and
meet the friend of years gone by, how
delighted we shall be! Now, when we
see a friend after a lapse of ten and
twelve yeart, and notice the increis-
ing wrinkles and new marks of sorrow
and disappointment, we exclaim:
• How yon have groan.”
But when we see these friends in
Heaven, with all the marks of sorrow
gone, then we shall say indeed: ‘ How
you have changed!" Here good-byes
and farewell fill the air, childli od
lisps it, and oi l age answers. Good-
bye ends the banquet, and clones the
Christmas chant; bu^ not so in Heaven
Welcome fills the air, but no good
byes.
The ground there is constantly
being augmented. Our friends are
joining it; Jordan's waves roar so
hoarsly that we cannot hear their
voices from the other side. We call
to them but get no answer, and un¬
belief says they are dead, but the Bi ¬
ble tells us no! They are waiting for
onr comming. We shall grasp tl eir
bands at last in the glorious reunion

ARLINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1882.
A. H Stevens.
JVot withstanding bodily in firm it ns,
Mr. Stephens’ htt-y life has been full
of stiring events, and now, at three
score y airs ami ten, he wields a wider
influence than most man in their
| prime. Always an invalid, and sel-
d<>ia free from .suffering, for m my
years uot able to st md up >u bis feet,
his wheeled chair is daily surrounded
j by men, who c nae to him seeking his
; judgment on the weightiest matters.
On coming into his presence, the
stranger is startled by the brilliance
of the dark eyes that bum in the wiz
zene 1 Countenance,"and the trite situ-
ile about “windows of the soul“ come
to him with force as lie takes the thin
hand, pretty as a woman’s, that (ho
“sage of Georgia -1 extends, and listens
to the piping voice that plunges at
once into political questions with all
the power and eagerness of 30—Hie
age ofithe gods.
There are traces of pain and sadness
in his face, but. none of sourness and
discoutout. Some of those lines were
wrought there fifty years ago, when
the brief romance of Ins lito began
and ended. Between bis graduation
from die University of Georgia iu
1832, and his admission to the bar,
he taught school at Ctawfordsville a
year and a half. During that time he
met and loved a silly damsel, who re-
paid his passion with cru d sneers at
his bodily infirmities—thereby, no
doubt, unwittingly doing him and the
world a great service. The experience
is -aid to have chang'd the whole cur¬
vent of his life, and though only 20 at
the time, he lias never thought of love
or marriage since. Instead of center¬
ing his slighted affections upon another
woman and forming family ties of
his own, the whilom schoolmaster be
came the foster father of other peo¬
ple's children. At his own expence
h« has educated several poor young
men and given them each a fair start
in life.
The Wonder of Common Paper.
To the Japanese we are indebted
for the discovery that paper can be
made into hundreds of articles for
human use.
At the Atlanta Exposition were to
be seen a most extra ordinary variety
of articles which had been made from
common paper pulp. These included
car wheels, kitchen furniture, wash
basins, tubs, trunks, and even houses,
A car wheel made of ^paper will ran
2,500,000 miles without breaking, and
is stronger than steel or iron, and then
it very much cheaper.
A twiste,d note of the Bank of Eng¬
land will not tear even though a three
hundred and twenty-nine pound
weight is suspended from the end of
it. Paper can be compressed so bard
that it will fear a chisel into pieces if
the latter-f.s held against it. One ol
the great valii' S of paper is it can be
made to take the place of wood.
Furniture made of it looks like
walnut, and is really stronger as well
as cheaper. Indeed now there is less
danger «f the wasting of our forest
tr* e* than there was before the various
uses of paper were discovered.
Stoves are mad" of paper and are sc
incombustible that, it is impossible to
burn them. It is possible even to
make a steam engine of paper. In
short, it has been found that the linen
fiber from which the best paper is
made will in the future be as valuable
as wood or iron.
Daniel We lister had an anecdote of
Old Father Searle, the minister of his
boyhood, which is too good to be lost
it w is customary then to wear buck¬
skin breeches in cohl weather. One
Sunday morning in the autumn Father
Searle brought his breeches down
the garret, but the wasps had taken
po-iession of them during the summer,
and were having a nice time of it in I
them. By dint of effort he got, out

The Drunkard’s Will.
Know all men by these presents,
that I,—of the county of Meokleuberg,
and State of Virginia, being of sound
and deposing memory, and in view of
the nncertainity of life and the eer-
tainity of death, do make this my
last will and testament, to-wif:
I die a wretched siuuer, and I leave
to the world a wortble.-s reputation,
a wicked example, aud a memory that
is fit to perish.
I leave to my parents sorrow and
bitterness of sou! all the days of their
lives.
I b ave to my brothers and sisters
slmnie and grief, and the reproach of
their acquaintances.
I leave my widow and broken
hearted wife a life lonely struggle
with want and suffering.

a reviled position, a pitiful ignorance,
and the mortifying recollection of a
father, who, by his life disgraced hu¬

God. I pray God that those who are
yet living may take warning and prof
it by the above.
