tyt&tlb J|bbirt??i*r. 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. ls It Wise to Boy 80 Much Guano ? 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. -Detroit Post. 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. Subscribe to the APTERTISKB. 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. Do yon want a handsonn Opera Dress Slipper, Newport Boots- -cheap-go to 28] J. M.

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. S. S. S. 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.

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.
