In musical numbers the soft runret ntr, l ike a gdhlen-tongued angel, eoemod calling me the i o, And my fancy Fjmdon, till it found n rarohomo, A palace of jn.inor with emerald dome, On a violet f Iran cl by a wide azure flood, And whore the bright palaco of son ?©t now stood, Wo thought some stray seraph had broken a bar From the gold gates of E<lon, and left thorn ajar. There wore cmetbyst windows, whoso frame work soemod spun From flro drawn out from iko heart of tho sun, Columns of amber ana fountains of light,- V, T ' m --ar-iwup vast shadows, so ehangingly * bright T’;:t IT .3 miglt havo stolen t’uoir exquisite yh.'en if > weave in her gridlo of rainbow, I vroon; /.r.d atelier of glory appeared o’or mo there, A a those fountains of sun set shot up through the air.

And lo! fan away on tho borders of Night Rose a chain of cloud-mountains, so tvondrous’y bright, They seemed built of those atom3 of splendor i that start Through the depth of tho diamond’s crystallise heart/ ’ "When light,, with her magical toucii, I; alii re vealed, The treasure of beams in its bosom ccneoaled, And torrents of azure, all graoeful and proud, Floated noiselessly down from Those mountains of cloud. But the tide of tho darkness came on with its flood. And broke o’er tho strand where my frail palaco stood. ■While far in the disianco tho moon seemed to lave, Like a silver winged swan in the Night’s ebon wave; And then—like Atlantis, that islo of tho blest, Which,, in olden time, sank ’ncath the ocean to rest, (Which still tho blue waters in mystery shrouds) Dropped down in the darkness this palaco of clouds. oo &Xvdwablt I’cftpfs, liuaer this Loading.wo intend to vv.h'iih < *.v?ek : r.-icful Kevin*.:B,-whV;i j g;V© boon tried v.'iUi success.

Driving Screws into Hard Wood.— A correspondent of an English journal Writes: “Having lately had occasion to screw together two pieces of ebony, I made use of the following dodge, which was perfectly successful. I filed a fiat about , 3 4 in, long on the side of a com mon wood screw, commencing at the point. This cut the wood, and formed a thread in the same way that a tap would have done. Having previously had difficulty in getting screws to hold in box and other hard woods, I send tho above wrinldo for tho benefit of my bro ther amateurs.” Patronize your Home Merchants. To nil onr people wo commend tho following rules which have been deemed so suggestive that merchants in other places have united in caus ing their publication ns an adver tisement: First. It is your homo; you can not improve it much by taking money aivay to spend or liar vest. Second. There is no way of im proving a place so much as by on courarrinff good merchant?, good schools, and good people settle among you—spend your money at, home. Third. Spend your money at home, because that’s where you gen erally earn it; it is your duty. Fourth. Spend your money at homo, because when it Is necessary for you to get credit, it i3 of your own town merchants you have gen erally to get it, and, spend it at home. Fifth. Spend you money at home. It will make belter merchants of your merchants; they can and will keep better assortments, and sell at lower rates than if tho only business they can do is what Is credited out, while the money goes to other cities. Sixth. Spend your money at homo. "iou may have sons growing up who will some day bo the best merchants in tho city; help lay tho foundation for them now; it is a duty; it may be your pride in after years to say: “By mj trading at the store I got my son a position as clerk, and now lie is proprietor,’ then you will think it hard if your neighbors spend their money out of town. Set the example now. Seventh. Spend your money at home. Sot the example and this soa - son try and buy dry goods, groce ries, meats and everything at home, and you will see a wonderful change in the business outlook of the place; therefore, deal with your merchants. The Cholera a Periodical Epi demic.—Tho year 1156 marks the re cognition of periodically returning twelve-yearly epidemics, connectdd with the great twelve-yeariy Hindoo festivals at tho great temples. The great twelve-yearly epidemics of 1156, lIGB and 1781, have been well de scribed by Paisley and others. Three times twelve, or thirty-six years sub sequently, thc| great historical epi demic and that of 1811. This epi demic and that of 1811 were distinct ly Juggernaut-pilgrim cholera. In 1826 the first indications of another pestilence appeared in the north of India: epidemic cholera broke out in Huruwai.*, the groat piaco of pilgrim, ago at the source of tho b-rsgc". where it issues from the foot of tho Himalaya mountains. A fov; hun dred thousand pilgrims go to Hurd war every year; more every third year; still more every sixth and ninth years, and fully 3,000,000 assemble every twelfth year, and a vaster num ber every sixtieth year. The cholera of 1826 was carried all over the world. In Now Orleans alone, out of a population of 55,000, 6,000 died. Tho last great twelve-yearly epidem ic commenced in India in 1505, and reached the United States in 1866. If this periodical theory is correct, the next cholera epidemic will be a Juggernaut one in 1817, supplemen ted by a Hurd war cholera in 1819; although the constant intercourse of Russia with Central Asia may be the means of introducing tho lesser epi - demic into Europe. But in 1 871 and 1819 we may expect an outburst of the disease, such as there was in 1181 and 3 783, 1817 and 1819, 1820 and IS3I, 1811 and 1813, 1853 and 1855, and 1865 and 1860. — Apple ton's American Cyclopedia.

And thus ho continues his sub lime and restless march through his orbit, having a period of more than 1-8,000,000 years. Anew brood of bonanzas have broken out on the Pacific coast. In tho face of the great Ralston roorback, certificates have been daily filled in nan Francisco for tho incorporation of throe new mining corn]-anies, aggregating a capital of $18,150,000. Two will work gold and silver in Nevada, ono the basis of $10,000,000 and the other $3,750,000. The third is or ganized for the ostensible purpose of mining quicksilver, investing $5,000,000. Meanwhile, a mountain of sulphur has been discovered in Humboldt county, Nevada, only thirty miles off the line of the Cen tral Pacific road. It is represented as a solid mass of brimstone, 02 to 96 per cent puro. If this be true we fear tho miners have struck tho reserved supplies of Old Nick. — Nashville American. Boutwell says that “General Grant will stand in history among the six generals whose names are mentioned in history.” So, accor ding to this precious historian, the world never produced but five gen erals -whose names are known peers to Grant, One was, of course. Alexander the Great, who died re gretting that there were no more worlds to conquer—from the effect of a drunken debauch; Julius Cea sar, who passed the Rubicon, de stroyed the liberties of his country, and establislred an empire upon the ruins of the Republic; Hannibal who acted under the inspiration of hate against Rome, by which he was sworn by bis father 1 Hamil car must be another exarapl e.

Where is Marlborough ? Where is Washing ton? Where are the very large number of persons who have ob tained superiority in anus? What impudence to compare Grant with those conquerors of the past!- Cincinnati Enquirer. A Paris correspondent writes: “All the ladies wear n medal or a cross, attached to a ribbon, round their necks. On close inspection I saw that these medals and crosses were the same as given to distin guished men for services rendered to their country on the battle field. On inquiry, also, I ascertained that they were in reality tho medals and cresses of the husbands of the ladies who wore them, and that it was now the fashion of all ladies to show in this way that their hus bands are decorated. ‘So’ they say, ‘we are sure at least that this fashion will not be copied by the vulgar.” Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, character izes the hard money howl as a “de vice of the money lords by the false cry of ‘public honor,’ to make the fortunes of their families by ru ining their country.” "oEOUCHA Marion County- By virtue of the hint Will ni' Simoon I.a whom, deo.’d, "ill bo 'finld on flr.-.t Tuesday in November next b t ,,f„ro the Court Houho in said enmity, one hundred and forty [HO] aero,' of land off lot no one hundred and forty (140) in tho Flirty And pili I>ist of said county us tho property of wid ('.'.'’.cased.
