I Written for the Savannah Recorder.] ’Tin sweet to remember the days of the past, When those of the present are glad, As nature in sunshine oft tells of the blast, And storms which her sunny skies had. And as o’er her Rowers the raindrops will fall, Making their fragrance more sweet, So^are the remembrances then we recall With noblest of feelings replete. And tiniest tokens awaken to life. The love lying dormant within, As birds in the springtime with melody rife, Arouse from long slumbers their kin, And as these sweet songsters loso nothing of mirth, Imprison’d or caged within bars, M d O WA the crushed heart with thes e memori es Find pleasure in what It abhors. The laugh and,the Jeer, of a voice that was’ dear, May forever embitter the mind; But sweet words then spoken, and now sadly broken, Doth leave a charm’d echo behind. The morning of love may bo rosy and bright, And at evening be darkened in gloom, But thoughts in its night time, will break on the sight, Aud star-like its memory illume. Nai.ksod. Savannah, July 24tli, 1880. Loving A Whole Family. “I don’t want to make any trouble, but thero is one man in this city who ought to be gibbeted !” began a blunt spoken woman of forty-five as she stood before the officials of the Twenti¬ eth street station a day or two ago. When they inquired for particulars she handed out a letter and said: "Observe the envelope. That letter is addressed to me. You will see that the writer calls me his jasmine, aud he wants me to set an early day for the wedding.” When the captain had finished read¬ ing the letter she was ready with an¬ other, adding : "And this is addressed to my daugh¬ ter Lucretia. You will see that he calls her l\is rosy angel, and he says ho can’t live if she doesn’t marry him. It’s the same man. So it was, and his letter was ns ten¬ der as spring chicken. That finished she handed out a third with the re¬ mark: “That is directed to my daughter Helen. It’s the very same man, and in it he calls her his pausy, aud he says he dreams of her.” "Why, he seemed to love the whole family,” remarked tbe captain. "That’s just it. I’m a widow with two daughters, and be was court ng us all at once and engaged to the three of us at the same time. Oh ! what wretches there are in this world.” "Yes, indeed. Its lucky you found him out.” Yes, it is. If I hadu’t he might have married the whole caboodle of us. If Lucretia hadn’t opened one of mj letters, and if I hadn't searched the girls' pockets while they were asleep, wed have thought him an innocent Kmb." "And do you want him arrested?” Xo. 1 guess not, but I want this matter to go into the papers as a of warning to other women. Just think his sitting up with tne Saturday night, Lucretia on Wednesday night and Helen on Friday night, aud calling each one of Us his Climbing rose ! Oh sir, the women ought to kuow what a deceiving 'Aes, animal man is!” he s pretty tough.” "It has learned me a lesson,” she said as she was ready to go. “The next man that comes sparking around my house has got to come right out and say which he’s after. If it’s the girls I won’t say nothing, and if its mo it won't do ’em a bit of good to slam things around and twit me of burying two husbands!”— Detroit Free Dress. Remarkable and Valuable Discov¬ ery. It has always been easy for house¬ wives who are troubled with rats to poison them, but the problem has been to induce them to die upon the field of honor, so to speak—to-wit, the kitchen floor. They have usually preferred to retire to their inaccessible retreats in the wall as soon as they have felt the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and the low state of sanitary science pre¬ vailing in their communities is such th at poisoned rats are never buried or in cinerated by tbeir associates. The problem has been how to kill the rats without bringing unpleasant odors in¬ to the house. Mrs. Benedict has solved the diffi¬ culty and is entitled to the honor we give to an inventor and benefactor. She was engaged it appears, in the do¬ mestic manufacture of plastsr casts of various kinds. Complaint having been made Benedict of the fragility of these wares, Mrs. began a course of exper¬ iments with the hope of giving dura¬ bility to his casts. One of her devices was to mix wheaten flour with her pul¬ verized plaster of Paris so that the gluten of the flour might make the paste less brittle. On one evening she had visitors, who rang the door bell just as she was sifting the mixed plast¬ er and flour for the third time by way of mixing them intimately, as the chemists would say. She had already set a dish of water at hand, intending to make a cast at once, and when the door ball rang, she hastily removed her apron and went to welcome her guests, leaving her moterials upon the kitch¬ en floor. The guests stayed until late bed time and then they bid her adieu, Mrs. Benedict went to bed without re¬ turning to the kitchen. What happened in the night was this : A rat, sniffing the odor of flour, made up the legs of the table to the top, where he was speedily joined by other iorage a-rdHaJarethren. Thedjsh al plaster was and easily hastily reached, and the rats ate freely of it, as it is their custom to do. It was rather a dry supper, and water being at hand, each rat turned from the savory dish of flour and plaster to slake his thirst with water. Everybody who has had to do with plaster of Paris will guess at once what happened. The water drank first wetted the plas¬ ter in the rats’ stomachs, and then, in technical phrase, "set” it; that is to say, the plaster thus made into paste in¬ stantly grew hard in each rats’ stom¬ ach, makiug a cast of its convolutions. The event proved that, with such a cast in existence, it is impossible for a rat to retreat even across a kitchen. The next morning thirteen of them lay dead in a circle around the water dish. Mrs. Benedict, like a wise wo¬ man, kept her secret and made profit of it. She undertook, for a considera¬ tion, to clear the premises of her neigh¬ bors of the pests, aud succeeded. It was not long before the town was as free of this sort of vermin as if the pied piper of Hamelin had traveled that way. Then Mrs. Benedict advertised for agents to work up the business throughout the country, selling each the secret for a fair price— 1Sew York Evening Post. A , ......

The Death of Albert Sidney John¬ ston. [A Georgia Colonel in the Cincinnati En¬ quirer.] On Sunday, the Gth day of April, 1862, Johnston, with his eager army, began his fateful fight. He handled bis ardent army with brilliant skill and impetuosity. Whenever there was a pause in the onward movement he led the charge in person. To those who saw him that day, as the writer did, in all the glorious fever of that delirious success, mounted upon a magnificent steed, his massive figure seeming to enlarge to gigantic size with the ardor of battle, his face aflame with bis in¬ domitable spirit of fight, he was the ideal eoibodimint of the fiery essence war. He threw himself with reck less indifference into danger. And the last charge that broke the Federal position was led by him in person under a per¬ fect blaze of flame and hail, his horse shot in four places, his clothes pierced, his boot-sole cut by a minnie, but his person untouched. It was in this su¬ preme moment of victorious onset, a decisive triumph seemingly and surely in his eager grasp, that a fatal bullet struck him, a small wound uuder the knee, severing the popliteal artery. Governor Harris, of Tennessee, who was on his staff, rode up to him, see¬ ing him reel in his saddle, and holding him steady, asked him : “General, are you wounded ?” He replied d e liberately and with emphasis : "Yes, and I fear seriously.” tie was lifted to the ground. His boot was full of blood and the life current pouring out beyond recall. He never spoke again. Gen. Preston knelt by him, and asked him passionately : "Johnston, do you know me ?” Gen. Johnston smiled faintly. Lying in a ravine out of the reach of merciless bullets, he was dead in a twinkling. Could Gen. Johnston have Lad im¬ mediate medical attention he would have survived. His staff surgeon was D r. D. W. Yandell, cf Kentucky, and he was away from him under circum¬ stances that constitute the most touch¬ ing and beautiful feature of this ro¬ mantic death. The Federals in re¬ treating left, of course, their wounded behin d. In riding forward Gen. .Tnh«« ton cams'.....TmroBS a squad of wounded Federal officers and soldiers. Stopping he kindly addressed them, and asked if any were wounded. Then turning to his staff, he remarked : “It nearly breaks my heart to see men in that uniform suffering. Doc¬ tor,” addressing Yandell, do stop and see if you can do something for these poor fellows.’’ Dr. Yandell stopped on this humane mission, and Gen. Johnston owed hi. death to the absence of skill and in¬ struments, and this absence was due to his tender humanity to the wound ed foe a humanity the more striking because it was exhibited in all the ex¬ citement of battle.

TF. Detroit, V4 4-- Hancock’s Hickory. Henry Kuester Has a Strange Dream and Plants an Inauguration Tree. To the Editor of Philadelphia Times : About the middle of January, 1880, a stranger passed my place of business and asked me if I wanted to buy some hickory nuts. I asked him where they were from. He said they were from where General Hancock was born. As I didn’t want to buy any he made toe a present of eight of the nuts. I threw the nuts aside and there they lay for gotten. On the evening of March 3, 18S0, I had a suauge dream, dreaming about Mr. Hancock, and also that I was on horseback and one of his aids. In the distance I saw a large house, with a large banner, with the inscrip¬ tion on ^it: "A glorious victory for General Hancock,” and while riding, in my dream, a party said : "Kuester, what is the matter ?” T I at once told him that General Hancock was to be inaugurated President of the United States. When I awoke I related the dream to my wife at the breakfast table. She laughed After arriving at my shop I had quite forgotten about it until about 10 o’clock on the morn¬ ing of March 4, 1880. Then I had occasion to look into the place where the hickory nuts had been dropped, and that again reminded me of my dream. At thi3 time there were five gentlemen in my shop, two of them radical .Republicans. I then took ODe of the nuts, held it up, and said : “To¬ day, 4th of March, I will plant this nut coming from Hancock’s farm, and I hope it will grow a tree of such size that I will be able to put a small flag on it to celebrate the inauguration of General Winfield Scott Hancock as our President to-day a year, March 4, 18S1.” Taking off my hat I gave three cheers for General Hancock. Then ono of the Republicans said, laughing : “Old Kuester is getting crazy all of a sudden, and it would be a very good thing if we would put him to Harris¬ burg.” The tree is growing fast and straight, just as the old Democrats will be next fall (I hope this fall all of the old roosters will come to the polls and cast a solid vote for Hancock). The tree to iqJaaA j IAO O UC straight as Hancock is himself. I in¬ tend to put a fine flag on the tree just as soon as it will allow. I can give witness to the above facts. Every word is true. The feeling I experienced during the night of this wonderful dream I shall never forget. On March 3 I felt very drowsy—everything ap¬ peared dink, and ou the morning of March 4 I felt quite relieved—never felt better in all the days of my life. Henry Keuizer. Bethlehem, July 14.

I believe that God is unsearchable ; that His being lies outside of human comprehension in this state of exis¬ tence ; that nevertheless, we may ob¬ tain a partial and fragmentary view of it with the certainty that in every di¬ rection the divine nature is nobler, purer, more admirable and lovable then reason, imagination or experience can conceive. I believe that God revealed Himself gradually as well as partially, and that He is still revealing i..umself, through the experience of mankind and through the revelation of His ma¬ terial kingdom. While in the Old Testament as against a plurality of Gods, Jehovah was revealed as one God in the New Testament the intimations are that God exists as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. This is a condition of being transcending our experience, but net Without without forelooking analogies. fine the attempting Divine to aaalyze and de¬ nature of Existence, I accept as the best idea I can get of the interior economy of God’s rature the unity of God in a trio personality. But I do not regard the acceptance of this view as necessary to growth to¬ ward spiritual manhood, or to accept¬ ance with God. The church did with' out it for 4,000 years ; men may live without it and yet be good men. For myself, I accept it as the easiest inter¬ pretation of the varied representations of the New Testament, and I therefore believe and preach the Trinity. I believe heartily in the Divinity of Christ. I reject as unscriptural the doctrine of a human soul and a divine soul, as set forth in the Athanasian creed, and believe that the essential nature of Christ was divine, simple, pure, uncompounded, and that so much of divinity as could be manifested and expressed under the limitations of ma¬ terial laws and in a human body, were made known in Him; but that the earthly existence of Christ did not give forth, nor could, the whole of His divine nature. He was more than He appeared. But I do not demand of any a technical adhesion to a fact whose philosophy is obscure, and must alwajs'Tie; but I do insist upon the duty, the privilege, an and me the nolnage salutv ol ol icuueiiug iu obedience of love, fidelity and which the soul is capable; and spirit, the assuming disposi for our own lives His tion, doctrines and precepts. I regard them as the very essence of Christian religion. Holy Ghost. I I believe in the re¬ gard the Divine mind as an active in¬ fluence, pervading the universe, and es¬ pecially as the source of figure all superior He human activity. In a may be said to be, with the Son, the source of all growth. The Divine spirit is universal, imminent, revelatory, stim¬ ulating and life-giving. I regard the whole of physical nature as but an effect, and as a storehouse of educating influences; and I behove that the study of nature is as necessary to the under¬ standing of God s word as the study of His word is to the moral understand ing of nature.
