The most curious phenomenon of
which we have ever heard, occurred in
Cheatham county on Wednes-lay last.
The dar it will be remembered was re
narkably hot, so that ,no,t people in the
county had to seek the shade ahut
noon. At this hour, on the farm of Ed.
Sharp, five miles from Ashland, a sort
of whirlwind came along over the r.eigh
boring woods, taking up snall branches
and leaves of trees and burning them in
a sort of fianitig cylinder that traveled
at the rate of about five miles at, hour,
and developint in size as it traveled.
It pa-ed hiretty-o.v-the- *pot-wher
a team of horses were feeding, and singed
their .ftanes and tails up to the roots;
it then swept toward the hou,e, taki.,g a
stack of hay to its course; which it -srt
on fire. It qtgeeed to ittcrea,e in heat
as it went, and in the time it reached the
house it iumuedilately tired the shingle'
front end to end of dt e 1 uil.iig, so that
in ten minutes the whole building was
wrapped in il.unes. The tall colwnn of
trtvelingcao'ic then continue'd :ts coarse

cradled setting tire to all tie stacks thiit
happened . to he in its course. Pa\-ing
from the field, its course lay over :a
stretch of wood whi,h reached. to the
river. The green leaves .on the. tt ees.

A'GLoomY Paoruaner,-The Ilick-man
(Ks.) Uuurier announces the death ot
Miss Susan C. Godsey, knowna as the
sleepiag wonder. The far-t is well au
thenticated that Mi-s (. had been, for
twelve years pireviouls to her-death, in a.
state o' coum, or slee-p. This disposi
tion to cont-tantl sleep was produced by a
severe attack of chiIT and fever, since
which tinme she only woke at.-intervals,
one or -twice a- day, remnainaing awake
for- but a fe.t- minuates. On the day of
her death she made one oir two predic
tions, whic-h are given by the Courier
for what they are worth. One was that
the sun would be totally eclipsed on the
7th of August, a fact of which she could
not have any know'ledge, as her friends
assert. Another was that "ihe sun
would never shine as bright after that
day," which will indicate that the end
of the world is speedily apjaroachaing.
Whether a constant sleeper is better
q-iiBed to predict future events thran a
wi4e-awaka proa- het, is a point we will
nt pretend to' decide.

with the following simiple mode of comn

est to some of our readers :
MultilIy any given number of dollars
by the nu tmber of days of interest re
quired, separate the right hand figure,
and divide by six ; the result is tbe
true interest for such a - numuber of days
at six per cent. This rule -is so simple
an so true, according to all business
usage, that every banker, broker, mer
bant and clerk should post. it. up for
reference and use. -B.y no arithmetreal
roces can .s. , deeirable information

*Or multiply by one-sixth of the num-1

thirty days would thus be found by sini
ply multiplying by five.

There were no services in any one of

nd Presbyterian churches were absent.
In the evening, Rev. Mr. Lawton, of

During the absence of the pastor, we

Protracted meetings were held during

The other morning while wending our

metty Miss say to her comnpanion"Beauty
s but skin deer, burt ugliness goes to
be bone,"~ which set us to thinking and
bus ran,our thoughts:. does she who
a so radiant with the fresh blushing
teauty of seventeen summers, just bud
ling into the more beautiful period of
arly womanbood, believe what she says?
,ot I was fain to believe, that neither
he nor her companion, whose side-long

like beauty, believed what was said,
neither do we believe it. It is a vener
;ble adage it is true, but like most of
such-pithy sentences utterly false and
only requires the ventilation of a few Mo
meits thought, to dissolve them into
nonsense and dissipate their applicabnity
to human nature into airy nothing.
aButif this were all, it would not profit
that we should write you anything upon
the subject. Its influence is pernicious
ad demoralizing, and therefore we sball
dutdowa for your benefit our thoughts
'en= the subject. The outward form
and expression of the human species has
b.een made to mould itself to the inward
mind by the Creator, sotht to fits fel
lows it should ever be an index to the
characte~r of the soul. This has been illus
trated time and again in the lives of many.
We might cite innumerable instances,
but it would render the article too long.
'Socrates was born as ugly as a satyr, but
by his deep thought, by the sculpture-of
reason, virtue and self sacrifice, he so re
constructed his face, Aliat at last A god
saw himself therein, and the Phadon

Saturday, the '7th of August 1869, will long
be remembered by the citizens of. Newberry
as the great day for eclipse", everything
was eclipsed, first came a great clod.] and
eclipsed the Court House, so- that it was
with difficulty we could 'flrid our way
through the darkness which covered the
sidewalks to the post offiee. Then came
the band d' Afrique with Jim Huds-ou blow
ing the big drum and a lively dasrkey beat,
ing the fife is such a manner as to totally
eeNipse .everything, especially that soul
stirring march "the girl I left behind ma."
After which came the great event of- the
day, which had been provided for us-by the
Almanac writers and which came off in due
time and tander mistsauspicious circumistan
ces. The Heavens were clear, the'sun shone
brightand the time with the moon drew-nigh,
and as it approached the orb of day, that
noble source of light, heat and cotton -"gins
to pale his ineffectual firs," while the saucy.
daughter, miss moon, for a bria period was
permitted by the father of them both- to
take precedence of the sun, glided gently
and gracefully up to her brother theni in
front of him, until 'her whole form was visi,
ble in front of his, when she had thus
reached the point p-oposed, she embraced
her dear brother in that long, linrtering em"
brace, when all the sweetness of years are
drawn forth. It was a beautiful sight
even the heavens diffu<ed a soft. dim light
-like unto a night lamp hung in some lofty
dome. Then came the parting, which was
sad to behold; the dear sister who shines on
ly in the brightuess, of the sun must part
again for years, and it may be forever, from
that source of all her beauty and radiance,
reluctantly she rears berseif away, and as the
noble monarch of the day was dissolving in
the mists of the horizon, still she coulkd be
seen clinging to him, lingering for the last
sweet kiss of parting. roor cynthia, how I
pity you, but we all must part. Such is
life.

Is.scattered on the ground -to die I
Yet on the rose's hunble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
As if she wept the w.ste to see
Bat none shalf weep,a teirrfor me !
My life is like the autumn leaf,
That trembles in the moon's pale ray,
Its hold is frail-its date is brief,
Restless-a.nd soon to pass away !
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and f{de,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leaftess tree
But none shall breathe a sigh for me I
My life is like the prints, which feet,
Have left on Tarnp:t's desert strand ;
Soen as tie rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieving to efface
All ve"tige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moans the sea,
But none, alas! shill mourn for me !
Reply'to "'My Life is like the Sum
mer Rose."
BY MRS. BUCKLEY.
The dews of-night may fall from heaven,
Upon the withered rope's bed,
And tears of loved regret be given,
To mot}rn the virtues of the dead ;
Yet mnorning sun the dews will dry
And tears will lide from sorrow's eye;
Afflction's:pang be lulled to sleep,
And even love forget to weep.
The tree may mourn its falien leaf,.
And autumn winds bewail itb broom,
And frietde may. hea-ve the sigh of grief
O'er those a'ho'sleep beneath the tomb;
Yet "soon wi l syridig renew the flowers,
And time will bring more amiling hours;
In friendship's heart all grief will die,
And even love >orret to sigh.
The sea may on the desetr shore
Lament esh trace it bears.away;
The lonely heart its grief may pour
O'er cherished friendships's fast decay ;
Yet when all trace is lost ind go'ne,
The waves dance briglhx and gaily on ;
Thus soon affectioa'n bonds are tora,"
And evei love forgefs to mourn.
Answer to Mrs. Buckley's Reply to
Mr. Wilde's "My, Lifo is like the
Summer Rose.
'The dears.of nighi mlay fall, from heaven
- upon the witherede rose's bied,"
And many a beaitteous.bud bi-given,
In lien of that wicih now is dead.
The morning sun'iii. haleyob hour~s - -
May shine upon this bed of Blowers;
~But they who,se grief is.pure apd deep
Cani surely never cease to weep.
The leafless tree; wheni spring aball come,
-May, teel.ias warmnereviv'ng power,
And put forth muan.- a lovely bloom,
When moistened by its .genial shower ;
*But sun nor shower can e'er ientore
The friends whom no w we see no more ;
And bicds may sing, and sephyrs blow,
These tears can never cease to flowr.
-The-ocean wave may gaily swell,,
-Receding from the storm-lashed shore; ;
But memory hears the funeral knmell,
Amig1 its loud resounding~ roar.
Though natre~ still her couirse' may keep,
Nor'know o'er all our inig to weenpt
Devotedihearts when rudely turn
Can nevei- eease ou eairth to mourn. t

TaUT IN BRIEF.-Any body can soil
the reputation of an indivdual, however
pule and chaste, by uttering a suspicion
which his enemies will believe'and his
fi iends never hear of. A puff of idle
wind can take up a million of the seeds
of the thistle, and do a work of mischief
which the husbandman must labor long
and hard to undo, the floating particles
being too trifling to be seen, and too light
to be stopped. Such are the seeds of slan
der, so easily sown, so difficult to he gath
er(d up. and yet so pernicious in their
fruits. They know that many a mind
will catch up the plague and become
poisoned by their insinuation, without
ever finding or caring to seek the anti
dote. No refutation can refute a sneer,
nor any human skill prevent its mis
chief.
A (oNGRESsIoNAL GANDIDATE SHOT
AND FATALLYS WoUNDED.-A dispatch to
the Republican Banner, dated Courtland,
Ala., August 2, says:
"A bout 2 o'clok this afternoon, while
Dr. Haughey, Conservative Republican
candidate for Congress, was on the
stand delivering a speech, he said all
t h e Hinds speakers were hire
lings. Hinds represents the extreme
Radical wing of the Republican party,
and is also a congressional candidate.
Dr. Collins, a friend of Hinds, called
him a d-d liar. Haughey returntd the
helligerent epithet, when both clenched.
Du ing the struggle, Hfaughey was shot
in the left breast, ju:t under the ninth
ib. The wound will prove fatal. Hinds
sd Collins are both carpet-baggerr.
Collins is the man who killed Kornehatn
it Tuseumbia some time s.iace, and is a
perfect desperado."
