The following hyD1t5epp sed lady in Scotland and pqt, to'. u o ly Sankey was the means of converting thousands of souls in the great Moody and Sankey revivals. It is destined to be come immensely popular. There were ninety and nine that safoly lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away Far off from the gates of gold ; Away on the mountains wild and bate, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. Lord thou hast hero thy ninety and nine, Are they not enough for the; ? But the Shiephord made annwer, 'This of mine IHas waindered away fron me, And althouigh the road is rough and steep I go to the desert to find my sheep." But none of the ransomed ever knew, How deep were the waters crossed, Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere ho found his sheep that was lost. Out in the desert he heard its cry Sick and helpless and ready to die. Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain's track ? They were shed for one who had gone astray Eri the Shopherd could bring him back, Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn ? They are pierced to-night by many a thorn. And all through the mountain's thunder riven And up from the rocky stoop There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice, I have found My sheep " And tho angels re-colic around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own." Tat Confedratic Dead. Mn. EuTon :-Will you permit me the use of your columns for the purpose of making an announce mont to the public. After the conclusion of the war, certain patriotic ladies in the city of Columbia conceived the idea of erect ing an appropriate monument in that city to the Confederate dead, to perpetuate the memory of their deeds of valor, their privations and endurance, and the heroic sacrifice F of their lives in the cause of their country Columbia being the cn tral point of the State, likely at times to b'e visited by citizens of all the counties, was evidently the most proper place for such a monument. These ladies besides intend that this tribute siall not stand merely for the Confederate dead of Columbia or Richland County, but of the whole State ; indeed, that the fathers and mothers, wvies and children of any of those heroes who fell on the bat tle fields of the South may approach and view this structure, feehpg that it is as well erected in memory of their loved ones as of -th'osd whose kindred live near by. It is there fore not local, but as it werena tional, in which all will have a com mon interest. How worthy an ob ject this is, every one at the South will appreciate. In most of the Southern States .(excepting South Carolina) beautiful monutpents huie already been erected to express an undying love for and remembrance of their Confederate dead, intending that those structures shall. witness this to all coming geerations. The monument for Columbia is now completed, and will soon be in * process of erection in Elmwood Cemetery. It is impossible to tell of the difficulties which the ladies in charge have had to surmount in or der to put their enterprise 'in' the way of success. To their patience, devotion and untiring exertions we owe it that their labors now ap proach completion. The cost of the monument will be $10,000, and the difficulty of raising such a sum in the impoverished condition of our State may be conceived ; but there is even yet to collect some two or three thousand dollars and as one climbing a mountain fids the last stops of the ascent the hardest to achieve, so these ladies exper~ence \vith the summit of their hndea&vors * vhich is to put the capstone to their labors. I propose, Mr. Editor, in aid of their noble undertaking, to offer on Iny part an ei'ort in their behalf. It is my intention to deliver at Ches. ter, Yorkville, Winneboro, and probably at other places, a lectnre to be entitled "The Confederate Soldier, as dead his claims to be remembered ; as living to be honored mnd respected."

Conway, in a letter to the 'Cincinnati Commercial, tells of a creole prisoner, Julia St. Clair Newman, whohas been giving the keepers of the Millbank Prison no end of trouble. Her hands were so small that no handcuffs could hold them. They sent her to a dark cell and she refused to eat; she was so near death that the keepers had to , yield. They sent her to Bedlam, but the physicians there discovered that she was feigning, .and she had., be sent back' to Iillb ik.

It , may not b6eygefrally.. knoii, y says the Cincinnati Enquirer, yet it is probably true, that the novel of "East Lyrmed1 although written MM England, had the ground work of its story in a singular marriage which took place in this city, tbe notice ;and the attending ciietuntages sit thie time being copied by almost every paper in the country. The matter was *1?las f~~ys:4Mr' a I a eler a do ,n' d i hou , e lain love a yoglady +whosee er, w s a well-to-do Second street mer chant, and after a proper season of attention the couple were married Both soon found out that they were not happily mated, and after a marriage of seven years, duing which titne they had three gbldren, two boys and a girl, they mutually agreed to the husband applying for a bill of divorce, on the ground of incompatibility of temper. The di. vorce was granted, and the wife wont home to her fathe, who had tbtugh indorsing lost his business and all his property.. The daugh er' and., his own 'rbisfo'tnhed w* gh d' 'so heavily upon the father's mind that during a moment of mental aliena tion he took his own life, leaving his daughter penniless and to rough it with the cold charity of the world as best she could. The womnl , a brave little, eature, tried every way she knewlhow to gain an honest liveli hood-in fact, working so hard giv ing music 16sdons and'doing embroid ery for her old school mates that her health gave way, and, having no money to pay her board, mudt beg, starve or go to the poor-house. To turn tottheobthe side of the pietl, 1 the hinsband, after a few' mon ' release from the marital bonds, again 1 married, and at the time of which we speak had not only the three 1 children by the first wife, but also an 1 addition thereto a little two year old girl by the secogl wife. The latter lady being ill, the husband adver- t tised for a nurse and housekeeper, which notice reached the eye of the first wife, and she, in her trouble, went to the former partner of her heart, told him of her sad condition and applied for the position in his household. The husband knew not what to say ; but after giving. her ample funds for all immediate wants asked her to call again at his office on the following morning, pronis big to consult his wife about the matter in the meantime. Promptly as her agreement wife No. 1 was on time, as was the hus band, and'frpn there they went, to.1 the resigence, where the two wiyes had their first conversation, ending in their agreement for the first wife to come and accept the -vacant place, which she did, seemingly delighted at having a peaceful home over her head, ,notwithstanding the very strange circumstances under which suoh a phelter was given. Necessity demanded that the entire past should be obliterated, and the new housekeeper treated as any other help ; that she must care for the children, hek own offspring, and the other child the Game as any hired nurse would do;: that she must eat, at the second table to care for het' charges. All these things and ovent more humility did the poor womah show, never by sign, word or look exhibiting the least evidence of dis.. content.

The latter plaoe, indeed, yave the principal custom of this dind (if custom it may be termed vhere the recipient is charged noth ng), for the reasons that all beeves pre slaughtered thoe by n Shochet. Many who can drink the 'blood of bnimals slaughtered according to the lebrew fashion can not stomach hat of bullocks felled with the ax. lhe blood of the latter is black and hick and lifeless ; that of the former nightly ruddy and clear as new Vine. "We have two ladies ,and one rotmg man coming here day to drink flood," observed a slaughter h.ziase ropriotor yesterday. "We usd to ave a great many nore, but they rot well MA strong and stopped oming. One woman cme here for year, and got wonderfully healthy nd fat ; she used to be a skeleton, a ohsumptive skeleton.

"No, no I-what should I drink it or t I am too fat as it is. And you now"-with a pleasant laugh--. 'lIoses forbid the Hebrews to use >loodas a diet." The Shoohet passed by with a ong knife. "I am going to cut a iullock now," he observed, "if you vant a glass of blood." It at once occurred to the writer o try the experiment for curiosity's ake, and give the public the benefit f his experience. A large tumbler vas rinsed and brought forward, lie throat of the bullock severed, id the glass held to the severed 'ens. It was filled in an instant' nd handed to us, brimming over vith the clear, ruddy life stream vhich warmed the vessels through nd through. There was no odor, o thickemng, no consequent feeling f nausea, and the first mouthful wallowed the glass was easily drain d. And how did it taste ? Fancy the ichest cream, warm with a tart weetnoss, and the healthy strength if the pure wine, "that gladdeneth he heart of man I" It was a fraught simply delicious, sweeter han any concoction of the chemist, he codfectioner, the winemaker-it vas the very elixir of life itself.

Perhaps the Lnowleg of its invigorating pro >erties originated that terrible e Mression, "druuk with blood."

Thin doctrine of inflating. the cur rency by issuing an unlimited aniount of greenbacks reminds us of 6ne Mopes Hawks, who used to live overin Alleghany and run a newspaper and shingle shanty. The newspaper was run during the period of pub lishing the tax-lists,. and Moses shaved shingles the rest of the year. Hawks was a great man in that burg ; and, as currency was scarce in the community because no one had anything to purchase it with, a bright idea struck him. He went into his offlo one morning and printed a large batch of promises to pay--quarters, halves and dollars and occupied himself for several days in affixing the autograph of Moses Hawks to every one of them. Hawks, that is Moses, was now a wealthy man, and possessed of un limited resources. He bought everything o'fered for sale, and paid in his new currency, and also loaned it to his neighbors. The thing worke' like a charm until tax ;ne, when something bet tor was required. Everybody had sold their "truck" .and taken Hawks's currency in payment. The people flocked to Hawks and demanded redemption. He redeemed by issuing d new batch of scrip and more of it. Prior to this the scrip had passed current among the people, but the new issue had no in flated the "curency" that the people refused to receive it longer, it having becomeso plentiful as to be worth less. Mdercbants and dealers had sold their goods for the stuff, but could not buy more with it. Hawks was bankrupt and could not redeem, and the people were in a bad plight. One morning a stranger presented himself to Hawks and demanded that he should redeem some that he (the stranger) had received at Saga tuck, where he had been to look after some business matters. Hawks declined the accomodation. The stranger then asked, "This is good is it not, Mr. Hawks " "Good, thunder 1" replied Hawks, "It ought to be, for every man, woman, and child within fifty miles of this place has from a peck to a half bushel of it." "But, Hi. Hawks, you redeem, don't you ?" "Redeem I" exclaimed Hawks ; it wasn't made to redeem ; it was made to circulate." JoMN CJINAMAN GIvEs His VIEws ON PoLITC.-Probably the most curi ous pair of human beings that have yet boon Aeon at the Exposition wit nessed the show on Monday night. They were Chinamen, clad in flow ing robes and sandals, with the inev itable pigtail done up in a double bow-knot at the back of their heads. A. representative of the Trade List, after following them around for some time, came up to them while they were at a standstill on the bridge in Floral Hall. The following valuable ind inter esting conversatiop took place : lReporter-Hey John. What do you think of the show ? (Chinaman grins and shows his teeth.) Reporter (in a louder voice)-I say, John, it's a big show, isn't iti Chinaman-Chow Hi likeo Melican man show, heap big. Reporter-hood for you, Chow Hi.

And as Chorw Ili began to un wring his pig tail at this interesting juncture and indulge in a series of e'9olutions that were strikingly sug getstive of familarity with the sports of the prize ring, the reporter coJI eluded that it was wrong to further molest the son of Confucius, and acorinlydeted.C uinnati WarrE Sravzs.-The selfish pluIo gt. of .iThode taland, who own sh~ands of white slavea and drive to their factory work with ro miorseles cruelty, are gettlinginorvous beehiuse Re~ slaves are talking abod revolting against their. tyran ny.

TIHE CHOLERA A PERIODICAL IMP] DEMIc.-The year of 1756 marks th recognition of periodically return ing twelve yearly epidemics, con nocted with the great twelve yoarl Hindoo festivals at the great torn plos. The great twelve yearl; epidemics of 1756, 1768 and 178: haove been well described by Paisley and others. Three times twelve, o: thirty-six years subsequently, thi groat historical epidemic of 181' occurred. This epidemic and tha of 1781 were distmnotly Juggernau pilgrim choleras. In 1826 th< i first indications of another posti lonce appeared in the north of India idemic cholera brolk out a Hurdwar, the great place of pilgrin age at the source of the Ganges where it first issues from the foot a the Himalaya Mountains. A foi hundred thousand pilgrims go t, Hurdwar every year ; nre over third year ; still more every sixti and ninth year, and fully 8,000,00 assemblo every twelfth year, and vaster number every sixteenth yoai The cholera of 1826 was carried aJ over the world. In Now Orloan alone, out of a population of 55,00( 6,000 died. The last great twolv yearly epidemics commenced i: India in 1865, and reached the Unil ed States in 1866. If this period cal theory is correct, the next chok ra epidomic will be a Juggernaut on in 1877, supplemented by a Hurdwa cholera in 1879; although the cor stant intercourse of Russia wit Central Asia may be the means c introducing a lessor epidemic int Europe. But in 1877 and 1879 w may expect an outburst of th disease, such as there was in 178 and 1783, and 1817 and 1819, 182 and 1831, 1841 and 1843, 1853 an 18515, and 1865 and 1867.--A2ppl Con&'s American& Cyclopamelia.
