FLOWERS TEAT NEYER WITHER.
There are flowers that never wither,
There are skies that never fade,
There are trees that cast forever
Cooling bowers of leafy shade.
There are silver wavelets "flowing
With a lulling sound of rest,
Where the west wind, softly blowing,
Fans the fair lands of the blest.
Thitherward our steps are tending,
Oft through dim, oppressive fears,
More of grief than pleasure blending
In the darkening woof of years.
Often would our footsteps weary
Sink upon the winding way,
But that, when all looks most dreary,
O'er us beams a cheering ray.
Thus the Father who hath made us
Tenants of this world of care,
Knoweth how to kindly aid us
With the burdens we must bear;
Knoweth how to cause the spirit
Hopefully to raise its eyes
Toward the homo it doth inherit,
Far behind the azure skies.
There is a voice that whispers lowly
Down within this heart of mine,
Where emotions the most holy
Ever make their sacred shrine,
And it tells a thrilling story
Of the great Redeemer's love,
And the all bewildering glory
Of the better land above.
Oh, this life, with all its sorrows,
Hasteth onward to a close!
In a few more brief to-morrows,
WiU have ended all our woes.
Then o'er death the part immortal
Shall sublimely rise and soar
O'er the star resplendent portal,
There to dwell forevennore.
Popping the Question with a Cold lln
the Head.
They had been keeping company a
Jear. He told her Friday afternoon that
e would be up early Sunday evening, as
he had something of great importance to
tell her, and a present to give her. With
a woman's keen intuition she knew what
the something of importance would be,
and she looked forward to the hoar with
sweet expectation. He was there on
time, but hard!y in the condition he de?
sired. A heavy cold had tackled him
the night before, and his eyes were red
and inflamed, and his nose was nearly
twice its natural size, and shone with a
lustre that would have appeared to much
better advantage on a door plate. Sin?
gularly enough, the young lady was sim?
ilarly conditioned. She ushered him
into the parlor, and without any prelimi?
nary ceremony they were on the sofa to?
gether. He took out his handkerchief,
and, finding a dry section, wiped his nose.
This reminded her of a duty she owed
herself, and she attended to it at once.
He held ono of her hands in one of his,
and his handkerchief is the other. Then
he spoke:
"Susad, I oub to nide to dalk to you of
Bubdig deaftr?ah-ah-ooh (a prompt ap?
plication of the handkerchief cut off the
sneeze in its bud) dearer do be thad libe
?ah-ah?thad id?oo-ooh-ker chew, ker
chew, ker chew." A moment's pause.
"I'be god ad awvul code," he explains,
with due solemnity.
"Sobe I," she sympathizing^ replies.
A moment is devoted to the silent use
of the handkerchiefs, and then he con?
tinues:
"Darlig, you must hab seed all de- tibe
how mudge?ooh-ooh-ker?(the hand?
kerchief again saves him) how mudge I
hab thougnd ob you. Ebry hour ob de
day or nide?ah-ah-ooh-oon-ch-ch?chew,
kbb chew, KER CHEW 1 Thid id aw?
vul," he protested, walking around the
room, for the final explosion had raised
him to his feet. She wiped her eyes and
then her nose, and made an honest en?
deavor to look languishing, but, owing
to the watery condition of the former,
and the fiery glow of the latter, she ap?
peared to an unhappy advantage. But
he did not notice it. He felt of his pro?
boscis tenderly for a moment, and then
returned to her side.
"Darlig. I cad no lodger lib widoud
you. Widoud you libe would indeed be
a widderness; wid?"
She impulsively raised her hand.
"Ker-ker ker chew!" she shouted.
He paused and gazed tenderly out of
his inflamed eyes upon her convulsed
features.
"Darlig," be softly continued, seeing
she was through, "you cad neber know
how mudge?ah-ooh-ooh-ah-ker chew,
ker?wish?sh-sh-er-rer, ker chew?ooh
my! 0 dear!" he wailed, impetuously
grabbing for his handkerchief, while the
tears ran down his cheeks.
She took advantage of the lull to unob?
trusively apply her handkerchief.
"Susad, he began again, grasping her
hand with fervor, and clutch nig his hand?
kerchief with equal earnestness, "whad
id libe widoud lub ? Noddig. Darlig, do
yoo, cad yoo lub be enough do be by?
ah-ah-ooh-ker chew! Heavigs, thid id
awvul!"
He mopped the perspiration from his
troubled countenance, and then waited
until she re-appeared from behind her
handkerchief, when he resumed:
"I ask agaid, darlig, cad yoo lub be
enough to be my wibe ?"
The young girl dropped her head upon
his breast, put her arm around his neck,
and was just about to speak the glad an?
swer, when a sudden spasm shook her
frame, and she went off into a series of
sneezes which fairly endangered the safe?
ty of her fair neck.
"O, by lub I 0, by brecious!" he sym?
pathizingiy exclaimed. "Speak ; 0,
speak?aho?h-ooh-ker chew, ker chew,
ker chew!" he roared.
She fell into his arms again, perfectly
exhausted.
"You'll be bide, all bide," he gasped.
"1 will, Henry, I will," she hoarsely
whispered.
He drew her to him with all his
strength, slipped the ring upon her trem?
bling finger; and there they stood to?
gether, their reddened and half-closed
eyes blinking in sweet, holy ecstacy upon
each other, while their exhausted nostrils
shone with a dim refulgence.
"My poor darlig has god sudge a bad
code." he sympathizingiy murmured.
"So id my Hedry," she softly whis?
pered back.
"I dode gare for myseld. I?" he sud?
denly put her away, recovered his hand
kerchief, and instantly went off in a par?
oxysm of sneezes.
"0," he sighed, as he gained a perpen?
dicular again, and mopped off his face,
which was now almost purple in hue.
"Yon must take sub medicid for that
code, donide," she said.
"Both ob us," he added.
"Yes, a'd you'll zoak your feed in hod
wader?"
"I will; a'd you'll zoak yours?" he
eagerly asked.
"I will," she solemnly replied.
"Heavig bless you, my darlig, my
brecious aarlig," he murmurmed, clasp?
ing her again to his breast. And then
he stole out into the darkness; and she
lingered a moment at the door, and heard
his dear voice ring out on the night air
as he passed away:
"Ker chew, ker chew, ker c-h-e-w."?

SAVE OUR TIMBER LANDS.
how they are plundebed by offi?
cial connivance.
Washington, Jan. 16.
The appointment of a committee by
the House of Representatives on Friday
to look after the timber thieves on the
lands reserved by the Government for
naval purposes has caused a great deal of
uneasiness in certain quarters here, as it
no doubt has by this time at various
points in Florida, Alabama, and the other
States in which these lands are located;
and if the committee discharge their duty
fearlessly, a system of* robbery equal to
anything yet developed under the pres?
ent Administration will be brought to
light
The act of Congress by which these
lands were reserved/or Government pur?
poses was passed in 1831, and provides
for the punishment of offenders who cut,
destroy, or remove live oak or other tim?
ber. This law, however, has been a dead
letter so far as the provision relating to
timber thieves is concerned, although ev?
idence of robbery and the names of the
culprits have repeatedly been furnished
the Government."
These naval reserved lands are located
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missisippi,
Louisiana, and Texas, and were selected
by commissioners appointed at different
times for that purpose. They are covered
with the finest quality of red cedar, yel?
low pine, and live oak to be fonnd in the
country, and were selected for this very
reason.
The largest of these reservations are
located in Florida, and in consequence of
the facility with which timber can be
shipped from the Gulf coast and the neg?
lect of government officials, or else their
complicity with the rascals, the depra
dations there are by far the most exten?
sive. In Volusia county, near Mosquito
Inlet, at Silver Spring, on the Hillsboro,
Suwanee and Withalcootchie rivers, on
Pease creek, and St. Andrews, Chocta
watchie, Santa Rosa, Escambia, East,
and Peruido bays, are reservations of the'
finest timber to be found in the South,
which is rapidly disappearing under
the lawless axe of the timber thieves.
The depredators confine their largest
operations to the valuable red cedar trees
in the Gulf sections, and it is estimated
that the quantity stolen in a single year,
if cut ana sold by the Government, would
(>ay for the expense of caring for these
ands for many years. Large quantities
of this wood are sold to the different pen?
cil manufacturers in this country, while
thousands of feet are annually exported
to Germany, France, and England, as
these establishments have agents at regu?
lar points on the coast, who are ready to
purchase from any seller.
The yellow woods on the reservations
are rendered worthless by the turpentine
gatherers, who box the pine trees for the
sap, continuing the process until the
trees are often scarified to a height of
fifteen feet, drawing all the life out of
them.
Depredations are also carried on over
the Government lands open to settlement
The robbers hire negroes, at good wages,
use them to locate homesteads upon pine
timbered land, they paying the necessary
fees at the Land Office, and then, under
pretence of improvement cut down the
trees for lumber, or box tnem for turpen?
tine, or both. After one locality is ex?
hausted a new place is selected, generally
on some heavily timbered stream, whence
transportation to the mill is easy and
entries arc made under new names.
The lands reserved for naval purposes
and known as "naval reserved timber
lands," are under the charge of the Navy
Department, the Bureau of Construction
and Repair having special supervision.
Those along the Gulf coast are supposed
to be looked after by the naval construc?
tor on duty at the Pensacola Navy Yard,
but they get no attention whatever from
him. The agents who are paid to look
out for these lands are charged with being
in league with the thieves, and from the
fact that the business of carrying off the
timber is carried on with impunity it is
pretty good evidence that the charge is
not groundless. Some three years ago
one agent who was too honest to allow
himself to be used by the rascals made a
thorough inspection of the reservations,
and found large quantities of timber cut
ready for shipment, full reports of which,
with the names of the depredators, were
1 sent to the Navy Department, as may be
seen by reference to the records. Noth- j
ing, however, was done about it, and the
thieves were not only encouraged in their J
nefarious business, but they finally suc?
ceeded in having the honest agent re?
moved.
Cant. J. C. Trebiger, TJ. S. N., was
detailed by the Navy Department to ex?
amine these lands, and he made an ex?
haustive and thorough report after com?
pleting his labors, recommending the
abandonme"t by the Favy department of
the worthless and the appointment of
competent and honest agents to take care
of the most valuable of these lands, but
no heed was paid to his recommenda?
tion.
An agent located at Pensacola was at
one time removed for himself being en?
gaged in plundering the Government of
this timber. A salary of $1,200 per an?
num, a house, aH the land he desired to
cultivate, orange grove, and boat and
boatment to attend him, were not enough
to minister to his pleasures, so he decided
to have a yacht, and in a very short time
his friends were invited to sail in the Lit?
tle Silas, which was constructed of Gov?
ernment timber and materials from the
nat/ yard, and afterward used for carry?
ing stolen timber from various points to
Pensacola for sale and shipment.
For the pa3t two years tne Navy De
!>artment have appointed as agents to
ook after these lands a number of igno?
rant negroes, most of whom can scarcely
read or write, and not one of whom could
find a surveyor's mark in the woods to
locate a section, range, or township; and
if one of them did succeed in overhaul?
ing tresspas8ers he would not dare arrest or
prosecute them. These worthy represen?
tatives of Secor Robeson receive from
$500 to $1,000 per annum, and do noth?
ing but protect the thieves.?N. Y.

The Ass and the Horse Identical.
?The following extract is from the
charge to a jury by judge Guild of Ten?
nessee:
"Our Supreme Court has very properly
adjudged that the exemption laws made
in behalf of poor persons shall be liber?
ally construed and enforced; for in?
stance, a horse and yoke of oxen, cart
and two-horse wagon are exempt by the
words of the statute. Our Supreme
Court, Chief Justice Nicholson deliver?
ing the opinion, have solemnly adjudged
that an ass is a horse and a horse is an ass
belonging to the same species. While
Judge Nicholson is good authority in the
law, he is equally distinguished as a horse
and assolgist; and hereafter an ass must
be regarded as a horse and a horse as an
ass. It is known that in the early days
of Judea the ass was the animal princi?
pally in use, either for riding or draught;
yet history leaves us in doubt whether
the ass is the progenitor of the horse, or
the horse the progenitor of the ass.?
While it is a mooted question whether
they germinated from the same root, yet
amid the darkness we have the light of
our Chief Justice that they are of the
same species. In view of the liberal con?
struction given by our Supreme Court, I
have decided that a buck-wagon comes
within the species of wagon exempt, and
the parties have acquiesced in that decis?
ion. Now the poor man and family may
sleep in their own cabin, drive their own
ass, ride in their own buck-wagon, repose
under their own gourd-vine and peach
tree, and there is no one to make them
afraid.'^__
? A man in Virginia goes to school to
his wife. It's needless to say that he
catches more lickings than any other boy
in school.
Here a Little and There a Little.
The habit of reading something every
day has been enjoined by the best wri?
ters, both as a means of acquiring a fund
of information and for cultivating the at?
tention and the memory. A recent wri?
ter records the case of a friend who in?
dulged in wonderful illusions about read?
ing ; he collected several thousand vol?
umes, all fine editions, but died without
having cut the leaves. He was waiting
for the time when he should have nothing
to do but to go through his library.?
That time never came to him, and comes
but to a few in this busy world ; and
even were there the opportunity, unless
the habit of regular reading had been
formed, the inclination will still be want?
ing. Culture is not to be acquired in a
day. It cannot be learned by a four
years' course at college ; it is the work of
a lifetime. Nor is it to be found alone,
or in high perfection, between the covers
of a book. It embraces humanity as
well; and a true knowledge of human
nature can only be acquired by associa?
tion with men. Still the record of the
experinces and the wisdom of the past
ages lies in books. The spoken word
may be forgotten. Demosthenes no lon?
ger waves the stormy Democracy into a
calm, nor does Plato enchain the souls of
his disciples under a plane-tree; and the
men of Rome no longer listen to the ve?
hement, passionate words of a Cicero.
To come down to later days, Burke's
fierce utterances have ceased to ring
through Parliament; Patrick Henry's
fiery eloquence is hushed, and the Senate
halls no longer echo the voice of the
great New England Statesman. "The
bows of eloquence are buried with the
archers." The splendid declamation of
Bolingbroke is vanished, like his own
image, from the grass plots of Twicken?
ham, and the eloquence of Clay passed
away with his dying breath at Ashland.
The names of the some-time great who
have passed into oblivion are, as to those
who are inscribed upon the temple of
fame, a- a corpora 's guard w to a grand
army, or as the living world of to-day is
to the countless millions of past ages
whose bodies have fertilized the soil of
every country under the heaven. A
memory handed down from one age to
another becomes but effete tradition; it
is only when thought is seized upon, and
imperishably recorded upon the printed
page, that it becomes effective to influ?
ence the world long after the mind that
conceived it has passed away. In this
way Euripides is made to do duty as the
pioneer of modern science; Milton bor?
rows from Ovid,; Taylor catche? from
Chrysostom. The schools of Athens are
closed, but Plato re-appears in the pul?
pit. Sir Robert Walnole was one of the
busiest and most intellectual men of bis
or any other age; yet, in his "Life," just
published, his biographer .tells u: that,
once seeing Fox reading in the library of
Hough too, Sir Robert said, "You can
read. It is a great happiness. I totally
neglected it while I was in business,
which has been the whole of my li fe, and
to such a degree that I cannot now read
a page?a warning to all ministers."?
But the warning is not to be limited to
those high in political life. It concerns
equally the humblest man, whoever he
may be or whatever may be his calling,
so that he have a realizing sense of his
own insufficiencies and of the ove -shad?
owing importance of time.
And so, to the clergy and layman, to
the professional man and the thoughtful
man or woman, of whatever vocation
or situation in life, t he lesson of to-day
comes?read, read regularly, understand?
ing^. Leave to those whose ignorance
is their bliss ; leave to the "spoiled chil?
dren of fashion," who must needs devote
their precious hour.- and their highest
mental powers to the clothing of their
perishing bodies?for, alas! they have
nothing else to clothe?to these poorest
of earth's children the empty plea that
they have no time. But for yourself?
make time. Whether it be the half-hour
which you steal from your bed; whether
it be the few minutes while dinner is
waiting; whether ycu can catch but a
few passing moments when the day's
work is done?still seize these and read
something. Man is not naturally lazy.
God, who has not giveu the lowest of his
creatures one superfluous organ, has not
given man a single faculty which
1 e did not bestow that it might be used
to his glory. And you employ it in this
way when you not only give it.the right
direction, but the fullest possible devel?
opement as well.? Christian at Work.
A Colored Delegate's Speech in
the Virginia Leit?Blature.?In the
debate this morning in the Legislature
on the Centennial appropriation, Peter J.
Carter, the colored delegate from North?
umberland county, arose, and urged on
by the cries of "Hear him I hear him!"
sounded in the well-known voices of ex
Go vs. Smith and Letcher, finally silenced
another member who was advocating the
bill, and with a rapidity of articulation
heretofore unknown, proceeded to sneak.
The noise and confusion prevented his
fi rst remarks from being heard, but when
older was restored his voice in clarion
Seals rang through the hall, sounding
eath to the Centennial.
Wherefore is it, and why I'm axin'

Popular Creed.?I begin to believe,
nowadays, that money makes the man
and dress the gentleman. I begin to be?
lieve that those who sin the most during
the week are the most devout on Sun?
days. I begin to believe that honesty is
the best policy?to speculate with until
you have gained everybody's confidence,
then line your pockets. I begin to be?
lieve in humbugging people out of their
money. It is neither stealing nor beg
fing, and those who arc humbugged
ave themselves to blame. I begin to
believe that a man was not made to en?
joy life, but to keep himself miserable in
the pursuit and possession of riches. I
begin to believe that the surest remedy
for hard times and a tight money mar?
ket is an extravagant expenditure on the
part of the individual?to keep money
moving. I begin to believe that none
but knaves are qualified to hold office
under the Government, with the excep?
tion of a few natural born fools and lu?
natics. I begin to believe that a piano?
forte is more necessary in a family than
bread and meat.
A T?uthf?l Sketch.?Let a man
fail in business, what an effect it has on
hin former creditor! Men who have taken
him by the arm laughed and chatted
with him by the hour,shrug their Should?
ers and pass ou with a cold "how do you
do ?" Every trifle of a bill is hunted up
and presented that would not have seen
the light for months to come, but for the
misfortunes of the debtor. If it is paid,
well and good; if not, the scowl of the
sheriff, perhaps, meats him at the corner.
A man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
la prosperity he sails along gently,
wafted by favoring smiles and kind words
from everybody. He prides himself ou
bis name and spot,ess character, and
makes his boast that he has not an ene?
my in the world. Alas! the change.?
He looks at the world in a different light
when reverses come upon him. He hard?
ly knows how to move or to do this thing
or the other; there are spies about him,
a writ is ready for his back. To know
what kind of stuff the world is made of,
a person must be unfortunate and stop
paying once in his lifetime. If he has
kind friends, then they are made mani?
fest. A failure is a moral seive, it brings
out the wheat ana shows the chaff. A
man thus learns that words and pre?
tended good will are not and do not con?
stitute real friendship.
What He Died Of.?We overheard
once the folllowing dialogue between
an alderman and an Irish shop-lifter.
"What's gone of yer husband, wo?

"What's gone of him, yer honor?
Faith and he's gone dead."
"Ah ! pray, what did he die of?"
"Die of yer honor ? He died of a Fri?
day."
"I don't mean what day of the week,
but what complaint?"
"0! what complaiiat yer honor? Faith,
and it's himself that did not get to com?
plain."
"0, 01 ah?he died suddenly ?"
"Bather that way, yer honor."
"Did he fall in a fit?"
No answer.
"He fell in a fit, perhaps 1"
"A fit, yer honor ? Why no not ex?
actly that. He fell out of a window, or
through the cellar door?I don't knot? |

"Aye, aye, and his neck!"
"No, not quite that your worship."
"What then?"

? At the last election in Florida an
amendment was passed providing for
biennial sessions of the Legislature, the
first session to be held in 1877. At the
same time the clause providing for annu?

provision for a Legislature this year.
Certain parties a- 5 clamoring for an extra
session, on the ?-round that the amend?
ment did not contemplate having no ses?
sion this year. But as this would cost
the State about forty thousand dollars, it
is scarcely probable that the Governor
will call it.

promised to pay me by that time have
failed to do so.
It is impossible for me to carry on my
business without money, and therefore I
shall
CERTAINLY SUE ALL
Who do not come forward and pay up at
once.
To those who have allowed their Notes
and Accounts to run for several years,
(and especially those who have failed to
heed the warnings sent them,) I have
merely to say that they can live in Dai?
ly Expectation of a call from an Offi?
cer of the Law, for he will soon come.
To those who have come forward and
paid their indebtedness, I tender my
thanks, and reque.it a continuance of the
pleasant business relations which :aave
always existed between us, assuring them
that I shall spare no effort to sell Goods
to their satisfaction.
On hand, I have
EVERY VARIETY
