LI SES OA' A SKELETON. Sixty years'ago tho .London Morning Chronicle; published a poeui entitled "Linc-s ou a Skeleton," which exciter much attention. Every effort,-oren U the offering a reward of fifty guineas, wa; vainly made to discover the author. Al tb it ever transpired . that tho*poem in a fair, clerkly baud", was found near : skeleton of remarkable beauty of lorn and color, in the mus?um o?* the Roya College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn, Lon don, and tbat the curator rd the museun hid sent them to Air. Perry, editor an< proprietor of the Morning Chronicle.] Behold this ruin! 'Twas a skull Once of ethereal spirit full ; This ncrrow"cell was Life's retreat, This space was Thought's mysterton! seas.'-" 1 ?! * .' }4H What beauteous visions fdled this spot What dreams of pleasure, long forgot ! Nor hope, nor love, nor joy, nor fear, Has left one trace of record hero. Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye ; Rut start not at the dismal void If social lov? that eye employed, If with no lawless fire it gleamed, But through the dews of. kindnes beamed, That eye shall be forever bright When stars and suns are sunk lc night Within this hollow.cavern hung The ready, &wiR t.nd tuueful tougue : I.' falsehood's honey it disdained, And where itcon'd not praise was cha?ner If bold in virtue's cause? if spoke, Yet gentle concord never broke, : Tais silent tongue shall plead for thee When time unveils eternity. Say, did thoao lingers delve the mine? Or with its envied rubies shiuo? To hew tho rock, or wear the gem, Can little now avail to thenr; Rut if the page of truth they sought, Or comfort to t?o mourner brought, Taese bands archer meed shall claim Than ail that wait n Wcn!th or Fame. Avails it, whether bare or shod These feet the path of duty trod, If from the bower < cf Easo they lied, To seek Affliction's humble shed ; If Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurner' And homo to Virtue's cot returned, These feet with angel's wings shall vie And tread the palace of the sky. G ES. GA^T FC .??R?L. Thc Dead JSero a Christian.-A Remi niscence of His College Days. ?Corre/tpo?iilrnce Columbia J?eyi?tcr.] COKESBURY; Apr. 10, ISSI.-Th? remains of Gen. Martin Witherspooi Gary arrived in Cokesbury this (Sun< --_Jay) morning from Edgefield. accom. par??du by several friends and reta tives. It was escorted to the residence of hi3 brother, Dr. F. F. Gary. His face bore the natural command ing lock that characterized him ic life. On the 'coffin was engraved iu silver. M. W. Gary, Died April 9 1881. It will be remembeied that Gen. Gary died on the sixteenth an niversary of the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox Court-House. The funeral procession moved from Dr. Gary's residence at half-pest 2 o'clock P. M The pali-bearers from Abbei^'jpcmatv were C>1. E. Z. Hem don? '^r.vGf*L. Connor,~Mesns. G. \y.Connon and F. D., Gwnxor. Those from Edgefield County were, Hon. John C. Sheppard^Messrs. J. L Add-on, B. W. Bettie, Jr.; and Ben jamin Abney. The remains were carried to Tabernacle Graveyard, two miles Southeast of Cokesbury. . Rev. William Thomas, the pastor of the Methodist Church here, con ducted the ceremonies. He made a few very appropriate remarks, some of which I take the liberty of copy ing from hi3 notes : "The cause of our gathering on this sacred spot (the repository of the honored de^d) is not only solemn, but to many of ns extremely painful. -A fellowman has passed away from earthly scenes. A companion ha? been taken frpnvpur midst. A friend hae been snatched suddenly from a large circle of otherfriends. A broth er is. missed-frotn the hearthstone, where sit in mourning' loved sisters and other brothers, whose tears be speak the loss they have met. A son has been torn from the embrace of a rioting mother, who still lingers (Mrs. Gary was still alive at this time) at the family home, under the pressing weight of more than three score and ten year.?. These things deeply af fect us while we stand at the tomb ol the departed. We would fain min gle our tears with the bereaved, and if possible mitigate their cup of sor row. We sometimes assemble at thc graveyard to place.in the tomb a sweet little halie, a simple bud of promise, that has not yet thrown its tendrils around the heartstrings of society. We drop ? tear over the in nocent form, kiss its lily forehead and lay it away to rest, soon forget ting that it ever lived. Then an ag r-- e-.l form, beading oeder th? burden of long life and accumulated infirmi ties, falls by" the ruthless hands of death, and as we see that life wa? spared till all that makes it lovely was gone, we are content to say, li 'As fall tho autumn leaves whon fully spent, So fallest thou.' "?But this is a call of a very differ ent nature. Vigorous manhood lies prostrate iii death. Cutr off in the midst of hU days, just as the manly L pnweri were beginning to group them selves to grapple with the great prob Jems of life, and to assert their full e3t strength. At the very moment when he was girding on the habili ments of intellectual power and raov w- ing upward to.the zenith.of^-his ca pacity, the message comes, the sum - mons must be obeyed. 'Marvelous are thy^ works, O Lord ! Thy path is not known in the d.-.rk, andr thy ways I are past finding ont.' We bow in obedience to thy behest. "As a patriot, he had no superior When his State" called he promptly SL responded, leaving home and i h its comfovts to meet, and repel --the inva ding foe. ?His love of country was of a character that' exhibited the deep est sincerity. The prosperity of South Carolina,carried to his'heart bright-1 ness and joy that could not be re? j "pressed ; while Ser-.reverses were mourned over as personal calamities and afflictions^ yet in all her misfor tunes, he retained to the last the prin ciples for which the founders "had valiantly contended without stint or compromise. . "As a soldier, he stood shoulder-to ?snoulder with his' companions -in ar^ms. No^cbjity was shunned by him? ?'isfo milita^;-, order disobeyed: Ai rways in plac?, in time of need. The heavy march, the empty haver sack and the cold ground for^a rest ing place, were things very ^SSkailiar to him, as he shared in them with the rank and file of the army in the severest campaigns. "Of his courage we scarcely need to speak; forgone were ever found, to doubt it. No thought of j self preser vation caused him; to hesitate, sven while the most imminent danger at tsnded his steps, and though he mar velously escaped injury during the whole Confederate struggle, yet few were more exposed to the missiles of death than our departed friend. .'As an officer he was kind and lenient to his men, almost to a fault, indulging them as far as possible, consistently with good order and dis cipline ; still exacting obedience from all in his command, while he cheer fully rendered the same to those in superior positions. "His religious opinions were held firmly and with much greater rever ence than some were willing to allow. We take the liberty of saying that he was no skeptic. It was my pri v -leg? and pleasure to k9 an intimate friend of the departed, in the army and in private life since the war. Upon inquiring why he did not ex plain the charge brought against his religious belief, he replied : 'That while I was a student in the South Carolina College I was very ill with fever and became delirious. While delirious a minister called upon me to speak to me upon the subject of re ligion. In my delirium I repelled the minister. ? report was circula ted that I did not care for or believe the truth. My pride would not al lyw me to seek to correct such a re port, for every one that had heard it knew that it wa? while I was deliri ous that I repelled the minister, and, therefore, did not know what I was doing.' ? "He asked me once if I could pro cure him a small copy of the Pro verbs: one that he could carry in his vest pocket. I procured an English edition and presented it to him, and to my personal knowledge it was his daily companion for a long time. He said that the Proverbs contained many comforting thoughts for him. "Great injustice was done to our departed frieud by his enemies, when he made a public speech in Columbia( S. C., on the moral powers of Europe being arrayed against the Confedera cy. General Gary said : 'moral pow ers or no moral powers, the Confed eracy must win.' HiVenemies chang el his words to: 'God or no God, the Confederacy must win.' He'did not say "God or no God,' for I remem ber hearing his speech distinctly." After Rev. Mr. Thomas concluded his remarks the body wa3 lowered into the grave, when he read the usu al burial service. General Gary was born in Cokes bury, Abbeville County,[S. C., March, 1831. The '-Only." The "Only" Lung Pad Co. Thank '. heaven it ia the only one-of that kind. The company is a fraud and their pad is unquestionably the big gest humbug going. Wa would pro claim this though we had "only" one ?ung left to do it ?itb. They have -cheated more newspapers than any other fraud since Helmbold tried to resurrect himself from the lunatic asylum. They effected this by get ting a Detroit paper to endorse them. There is "cussing" going, on in news paper offices all over the country, though few of them dare to tell how they have been taken in. We have no such delicacy. They got three months advertising out of us and we haven't so much as a pad to show for it. We have nothing but the stereo type cut 'Only this and nothing more.' " We are gazing sadly upon it as we write. It is the head and naked bust of a man (tie "only" inventor and proprietor, we suppose), with a pair of p?ds^su.^pended over his lungs by a ribbon around his neck. "The OJIV' Lung Pad" is inscribed upon them. Below "Trade Mark" appears( >-nd we hope?the* trade will mark what we say. Now that we look at the pic:ure more closely we can see that fraud is stamped upoi^ every linea ment of that face. It is a trade mark, in fact, t?at";n? .'?n?-?could mis take. Singular that we didn't ob serve it in the first place, but some how we never scrutinize a patent med icine picture very closely until they fail to pay their bills. Then their guilty faces stand right out, so that he who runs-their advertisement without getting anything for it-may read. Surrounding the picture is the legend: "Try it. It has cured many." We triea it. Tried it three months-their advertising, we mean -and it cured us, of\ a desire to have any more of it. "Inures byT^jsorp tiou." says the advertisement. It does. It absorbed our space and returned nothing for it. Hence ??r eure. "It cures all lung diseases, all throat diseases, all breathing troubles.'" It would take considerable money to cure all newspapers who a e "breath ing troubles" about getting their pay. "Yon can be relieved and cured.' We will vouch for you beiug,relieved -of any money-you invest in them -but being cured is another thing "Send for testimonials and 0"r book ' 'Titree Millions a Year.'

"I am slugged I" cried the unfor tunate man, as he sank senseless into the arms of his assailant, who bore him swiftly away. The next morning the Donna Isa bella was buried in grief and a per cale wrapper. Corsetless and with tear-stained cheeks she sought ber mother. "They have taken my Pe-, dro," she cried, despaiiingly. "Who could have done it ?" "It must have been the ten-spot or jack," responded the mother.

A Story About Mauone. Virginia's new Senator elect is physically a man in miniature. Men tally, if his opponents are fit judges, he weighs something like a ton ; but on the scale he tips the beam at less than a hundred pounds. In ap pearance he is as leah and thin as a greyhound; and it is doubtful if his avoirdupois in gross could bc made to yield adipose sufneieut to lubricate the wing .of a humming bird. The following pretty good story illustra tive of his exceeding leanness ?3 told of him : During the late war, "/hile in command of a division of Confed erates, be, like many others, Ind tue misfortune to be wounded : but, as it happened on that occasion, not seri ously. An acquaintance, about to visit Richmond, was requested to call upon the General's wile for the purpose of relieving any anxiety she might feel on account of h=r absent lord, by explaining the nature and extent of his injury. Col.-called at the lady's residence, and, as report goe3, found her in tears, she having already received the news ol' her husband's wounding by telegraph. The officer attempted to r?assure her by the statement that the Genera] would be on duty again in a few days, but without avail. o ii g $?jjf?&$^^~y much concern ; he received flesh wound; no bones are broken." "Ah, Colonel," she sobbed, "you don't know th'-the General as well as I-I do or you would not tell m' he could be-be wounded without strik-striking a bone !" Of course nothing mere could be s.'tid.- Washington Mepnblica?. Duty, though set about by thorns, may bs made a sf"?(T, supporting oven while it tortures.

The margin wire, i. e. top and bottom wires, run nearly 8traight?and<'': are No. 9, which is common size telegraph wire. The body wires are ; No. 13. The breaking strain of No. 9 .is about"'2,500 pounds, and pf No. 13 about 800 pounds. The measure of the mesh is the extreme length and . breadth of the opening, and a postal card will not go through a five ihct?0T mewn without touching at-the four corners. >..:;" No single wire is expected to break with leas- than 800 pounds Strain, and the wire will break before the twist wijl'slip. f>2 inch fence, five1 inch mesh, is"a very good farm fence; -47 inch, 5 inch mo*?, is a fair J'enc-p, but not high enough to restrain very breacby stock. Our four inch mesh contains one-fourth more wire for the same height*^ and is correspondingly better ; .46 inches or higher will be found reliable io stock, but we think 50 and 54 inch is preferable. We make 66 and 70 inch fence specially for barn lots, or wherever high fences are needed, and no cheaper fence can be used for that purpose.
