LOVERS.
We fin ve been lovers for forty years,
O dear cheeks faded and wet with tears,
What an eloquent story of love ye tull !
Your rose* are dead, yet I love yon well.
O pale brow shrined in soft, silvery bair,
Crowned with life's sorrow, and lined with
care !
Let me read by the light of the stars above
These dear, dear records of faithful love.
Ab, fond eyes of my own true wife !
Ye have shown BO clear through my chequ
ered life,
Ye have shed such joy on its thorny way,
That I cannot think ye are dim to-day. -
Worn little hands that have toiled so ong,
Patient and loving, and brave and strang !
Ye will never tire, ye will never rest,
Until ye are crossed on my darling's breast !
O warm heart throbbing BO close to mine !
Time only strengthens euch love as thine,
And proves that the holiest love doth last,
When summer and beauty and youth are
past. [The Quiver.

The Augusta Chronicle, comment
ing apon Capt. B. R. Tillman's late
essay, argues thus :
lu this connection, it may not be
amiss to refer to one cause of Edge
field's want of adequate prosperity.
What is true of that South Carolina
county is equally true of many coun
ties in Georgia. We are told by the
Advertiser that Edgefield pays out
annually $100,000 for commercial
fertilizers, and our esteemed contem
porary asks if it would not be better
to keep that sum, or most of it, at
home by manufacturing or saving
such manures domestically. No doubt
of it Capt. Tillman's most potent
argument was based upon the priric?
pie of home industry, incidentally
showing that the poorest people on
God's earth are usually, if not uni
versally, those who are exclusively
devoted to agriculture.
South Carolina pays nearly $2,500,
000 per annum for fertilizers, and
E Igefield's alien manure bill has been
estimated at double the total amount
paid out for State and county taxes.
When Southern farmers learn to
be as thrifty and industrious as Mr.
Shealy and his eons ; and when they
diversify their crops and practice
home industry as Capt. Tillman and
others advise ; they will become pros
per?os-perhaps the most piosperous
of all*planting communities. The
perpetual devotion to one system
which purchases nearly every article
East or West, forever drained of
money which should be held at home,
will inevitably keep the majority of
agriculturalists poor and tributary.
The South has wonderful natural ad
vantages. They should be utilized
before the stranger lays his iron hand
upon the soil as be has laid it upon
almost everything else.
There are many persons in the far
West v>ho keep large flocks of ducks
and realize handsome profits from
them. As many aa 1,000 are kept
together. They are fed on wheat,
and the annual cost of maintaining
each is about $1.15. They lay each
about twelve dozen eggs a year, which
sall for 20 cents per dozen, leaving a
margin of profit of about $1 25 for
eaoh duck. A person keeping 1,000
ducks may count on a very good liv
ing made in a very easy way.
? janitor of a New Haven church
has a cat The cat had kittens, which
were not wanted in the family, and
on Sunday before last they were
drowned and afterwards buried. On
Tuesday when walki ng near the graves
a peculiar muffled mew startled the
janitor. A spade soon exhumed a
live kitten. It was again immersed
until life was positively extinct, ac
cording to all indications, and was
then buried in an ash pile. Sixteen
honra afterwards the ash pile gave
forth a plaintive sound. A spade was
again brought into use, and to day
that kitten lives.
The border Southern States sent
thousands of men into the Union army.
Many of these ex Union men are
Democrats. But the present Demo
cratic administration has given and
is giving all the offices in the South
ern States to ex-Confederates. Notone
Union Democrat in the South can be
named who has been appointed to an
office under President Glevetafid. Nor
can the excuse be made that only
mea are selected who went with their
States, because in the Northern States
many offices have been given to per
sons who weie Copperheads, and even
to some who e>rved in the Confeder
ate army, none of whom went with
their States, but every one of whom
opposed his State as well as the Union.

Like General Grant, the first Na
poleon died of cancer. In his case
the cancer waa in the stomach instead
of the throat. It caused him much
severer pain than Grant suffered. To
wards the last he could not digest his
food. He was tormented by a con
?tant thirst. His pulse beat with a
feverish quickness. He improved,
grew worse, and had all the hope, de
pression and despair that marked
Grant's illness. Unlike the American
soldier he did not retain his mental
faculties to the last. The circum
stance* were different Napoleon was
a vanquished man, a prisoner, desert
ed by his wife, and eui rounded only
by the members ol his military fami
ly. His last words referred to his
son and the army. Grant not only
suffered lesa, bat his last honrs were
brightened by a thousand loving
words and tributes from wife and
children, old army comrades, his
former foes, and the most distinguish
ed men Of the world. So, in a certain
sense, it may be said that Grant waa
fortunata in the manner of his death.

The Thorn iu His Side.
A letter of the Rev. John Wesley
addressed to his wife has been re
cently published as a great curiosity.
It is dated eight years after his mar
riage, and elaborately recapitulates
"the terrestrial hell" of his family rela
tions. At48 years of age he wedded a
widow of 41, who had a fortune of
$50,000, a considerable one in those
days. The Rev. L. Tyler, his bio
'grapher, says that this marriage "was
in a high degree an act of folly, and,
properly enongh, to the end of life
both of them were mad-' to suffer a
serious penalty. Ile got rid of her,
after many tribulations, bntshemf.de
him miserable for 30 yara. Both
lived to a great age, in spite of their
infelictiy, Wesley being 88 at the
time of his dissolution. From the let
ter of Wesley to hie spouse, we gather
that she thwarted him incessantly
and in all things. She showed his
private letters to strangers. She took
every course to sour him and kill af
fection. He was constantly reminded
that her money paid for things, and
that he was only a second fiddle. He
could not command the servanis or
invite hie nearest relations to the
house. He was suspected and watched
perpetually, so much so as tc become
a prisoner in his own castle, so-called.
His effects were stolen, sermons as
well as money. His gentle nature
was put upon the rack by his wife's
abuse of the menials in her employ,
language being ueed to them that
would shame a fishwife. She talked
behind his back disparagingly, slan
dered and lied about him, "breaking
out into foul unmannerly language."
Wesley, in his letter, advised her
against theee things "in fear of God
and tender love of her soul, as aa af
fectionate husband," but his counsel
was vain and impotent He must
have had aEturdy constitution as well
ad much grace of God to live to be
nearly ninety years of age undersuch
provocation.
Bealiog the Fifteen Puzzle.
A widower and son courted and
married a widow and daughter, the
son marrying the mother and the fa
ther the daughter. Can yon explain
the relationship all round ?
A stagger can be made at it any
how. It had better be started with
a diagram :
Widow. Widower.
X
Daughter. Son.
The paw buck arrangement is rathei
difficult of solution. Wh^n the wid
ower married the daughter he became
father in-law to the widow, who was
his daughter in law ; or, in other
words, was father-in law to his own
mother-in law. Do you grasp? His
wife became tin step mother of her
son-in-law, who was in fact her half
brother, being the full son of his fa
ther, her husband. Th* son and wid
ow, who married without the aid of
a net, caused a complication aorno
what like the following :
When the son married the widow
he became the father in-law of his
own father, because his wife was his
father's wife's mother. (Would you
like a whiff of the smelling salts?)
By this last marriage the son became
the Btep-father of his step mother,
who was his step daughter. Touch
ing the widow, she is the mother of
har daughter and is also the daughter
in-law of her daughter, who so re
cently became her mother in law.
The widow is likewise the daugh
ter-in-law of her husband's father,
who, it cannot be denied, is her son
in-law, by being her daughter's hus
band. By marrying the widow the
son became the son in-law of her
mother, for the reason that she was
the wife of hie father. When the son
married the widow he became the
father of his father's wife, his half
sister, his own daughter, because she
was the daughter of his own wife.
(Are you still alive?) Referring to
I the old man for a few minutes, it.
would seem that- when he married the
daughter he became his son's wife's
eon in law, that lady, it must not be
forgotten, being his daughter-in law,
although the mothtr of his wife.
The father's wife, aa step mother to
his children, waH, therefore, step
mother to her mother and step falber,
the latter being the son of her hus
band. Supposing, if you are not
tired, that the son was blessed with a
girl baby, then ordinarily she would
be the father's grandchild, but in this
instance, the old man being con in
law to the eon, he, in addition to be
ing its grandiather, is a half brother
to the infant, and the child is half
eibter to its grandmother.
A Puzzled ('burch Clerk.
A colored brother removing from
Coweta to Meriwether carried along
his church letter. Settling near Rocky
Mount he concluded to become a
member al Bethel, a colored church
near bim. It eo happened that in
the same pocket in which reposad the
certif?cate of church membership was
also deposited last year's g-ianc note.
In handing in his letter to the church
the brother made a mistake and gave
his guano note instead. The church
clerk not being a very good reader,
never detected the error until Beveral
months afterwards. Being at a loss
what to do about the matter, he call
ed upon a learned white brother in
the settlement for advice. The white
man counseled that the matter be ul
lowed to stand, saying that a guano
note was more binding than anything
else in the world. It forbid him even
to take a homestead against his re
ligion, and if one lived up to the
note's requirements, he thought the
church ought not to complain. So
the guano paper entitles the colored
applicant to full membership at Bethel.

with mind in constant tension au

The wonder ie that he did not sooi

It is not work that kills men. 1
is ii regularity of habits and mente

candid physician or interested frien
will point out to them how by irregu

constant worry and fret, by plungin
in deeper than they had a right to gc
they have produced that loss of nei

t Geueral Grant's Name.
Mr. Richard A. Wheeler, of Ston
iugton, ia much interested in genea
logical matters, and twenty years agc
when ho was engaged in gatherinj
statistics regar ling the Grant famib
iu Connecticut, he wroto to Mr. Jessi
R. Grant, father of General Grant
who was at that lime living in Cov
ington, Ky., and from him obtainet
some important facts. One eui iou
revelation made by Mr. Grant is con
eeruiug the adoption of the name o
Ulysses for his son. It baa beengen
erally understood that the name giv
en him by his parents was H iran
Ulysses, and that the Congressmai
who obtained his appointment ?it Wee
Point reade a mistake in having hil
name appear on the cadet roll ai
Ulysses S. Grant; but his father tel?i
a different etory, which is now intuit
public for the first time. He says
writing for Mr. Wheeler in 1SG5
" In June, 1821, Mr. J. R. Grant and
Miss Hannah Simpson were married
and bellied nt Point Pleasant, Ohio
On the 27th of April, 1S22, their firs!
child was born. As is usually th?
caee with the first, there was a good
deal of anxiety about selecting 8
name for the child. It waa finally
settled that the half a dozen narn.fi
selected by the family should be ah
put tn a hal, and the first drawn
should be the name. Ulysses was
drawn, and his mother's maiden name
(Simpson) adopted for the middle
name."-Hartford Times.

A Medicine that Has Done More to
Relieve Suffering lin man it y limn
All the Physicians.
It is Reldom that a newspaper con
descends to editorially notice the
thousand and one patent medicines
that flood the market, but Swift's
Syphilitic Specific has proven such a
great boon to the human family, that
in sounding its praises one feels that
he ie simply doing his duty to fellow
man. The great preparation is a
Georgia pioduct, purely vegetable,
and has taken a stand in the world of
medicine that has forced a recogni
tion and endorsement not only from
the press and pulpit, but even physi
cians. IL has effected hu ntl reds of
thousands of cures of bloid poison,
and there is not a hamlet in the land
bul where you see living illustrations
ot il? efficiency. There to-day walks
the streets of Athens well-known
gentlemen who owe their very lives
to S. S. S., and they will tell you so
if you ask them. It has become a
household remedy, anti in every fami
ly you eee a bottle standing on the
mantle. It not only positively enies
all manner of blood poison, but ihen
matism and hundreds of other dis
eases incident thereto. Nine-tenths
ol our population are more or lees af
flicted with impuro blood, ami they
have now discovered in S. S. S. a
panacea for their ills. Hence its Reid
of usefulness is unbounded. Would
that the proprietors had millions, that
their grand anti glorious work might
he extended to the four corners of the
earth I Now, many persona have been
ruined ior life, anti rendered misera
ble, by trying to eradicate one poison
wi'h another. It is ?imply an ex
change of evils. But not so with the
great S. S. S. While cleansing the
blood of every particle of poison, it
in as harmless as the rippling water?
of a mountain brook. The only re
sult of its use ia a complete and thor

these orgr.ns, and are especially designed to
cure thc diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and

which they Uro held by the medical profes

These PILLS aro compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache 'writes :
"AVER'S PILLS are invaluable to me, and
aro my constant companion. I have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS aro the only thing I could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head lrora pain. They
are the most otfeciivc and the easiest pbysio
1 have over found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when ocaaslon offers. _ __

"I have used AYER'S PILLS In number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
tho desired result. Wo constantly Veep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
?leasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.

pnst 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi

inconvenience, until some months ago I
besan taking AVER'S PILLS. They Lave
entirely corrected the costive habit, ana

AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS correct Irregu

tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tono and vigor to the

WARREN LELAND,
whom everybody knows as the successful
manager of the
Largest Hotel Enterprises
of America, says that while a passenger from
Kew York on board a ship going around Cape
Horn, in the carly days of emigration to Cal
ifornia, he learned that ono of the officers ot
the vessel had cured himself, during the voy
age, of an obstinate disease by the use ot
Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended
AVER'S SARSAPARILLA in many similar
cases, ard ho has never yet heard of its fail
ure to "lfect a radical cure.
Some years ago ono of Mr. LELAND'S farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to tho bad
stntc of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on thc injured limb. Hor
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through tho lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantiUcs of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
r.vnir saOUL^-mm, hy Mr TEr.Axn'.sd'rep.
tion, was supplied with AYER'S SARSAPA
RILLA, which allayed tho pain and irritation,
healed thc sores, removed tho swelling, and
completely restored tho limb to use.
Mr. LELAND has personally used
Ayers Sarsaparilla
for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and,
after careful, observation, declares that, lu
his belief, there is-no medicine in the world
equal to it for thc cure of Liver Disorders,
Cout, tho effects of high living-. Salt
Rheum, Sores, Emptions, and all the
various forms of blood diseases.
We hare Mr. LELAND'S permission to Invite
all who may desire further evidence In regard
to tho extraordinary curativo powers of
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA to see him persou
ally either at bis mammoth Ocean Hotel,
Long Branch,or at the popular Leland Hotel,
Broadway, 27th and 28th Street?, New York.
I Ir. LELAND'S extensive knowledge, of the
good done by this nneqnaUed eradicator ol
blood poisons enables him to give inquirers
much valuable information.
