THE WIFE'S PRATER AND THE DRUNKARD'S RESOLVE. BY BYBON R. LOKO. Hush, my dear! the winds are moaning Through the ragged window pane, And the rotten roof is groaning 'Neath the torrent-falling rain; Close thine eyes and let them slumber Through the darkness of this night, And hear not the awful thunder " That will roll before the light. Hark I seems now I hear a footfall, ?" N ; Ah! 'twas but that hingeless gate Dashed again by storm-king's fury, Dealing ont its due of fate. Sleep.* my child! the lightning's flashes May bnt calm thy sweet repose; But thy mother's tired lashes? When they'll rest but Heaven knows. Ah! upon my eyesight painted, Holy scenes of long ago, With the sparks of radiance tainted Sweet as clearest sunset's glow, When, within the harvest garnered, I a blushing bride was seen, With a youth whose brow was tarnished Not with sin's dark, loathsome screen. Bat the change! oh, tearful wailing 1 My poor heart can scarce contain All the woe that lies there railing, In its bitter, sad refrain; When the tempter, vile and sullen, Tore the splendor from that brow? Swept the luster from his eyeballs Darkened orbs of* misery now. Yes, he comes! I h ear him stumble; Oh, my God, bear me up! 'Mid the thunder's pealing rumble, Help me dreg this bitter cup; Help me still the wail of anguish That seems burst ing from my breast; Blessed Jesus, waft me heavenward Let me on Thy bosom rest I Ah! the door behind him closes; Seems he walks with firmer tret J, And those eyes seer a not as burning As -when tinged w ith Satan's red; As before the grate he's standing. In the firelight's fading glow, * Seems I see a maD ly picture, One I'd seen years ago. "Wife !" He turns, and o'er his features Gleamings of angelic light Seem to float in waves of splendor, Driving out the horrid night, Lifting from my care-worn bosom All the lottds of sorrow there;,.. V : Filling up that hone with gladness, Banishing all thoughts of care. "Ere to-night yon hushed tha sobbings *0f our boy;in yonder bed1 Ere you'd brushed the golden rin glets That are shrouding his young-head"; ** ~ While you were with tears bemoaning That this home should be his fate; When thou satdst the winds are roaring, And the night is dark and late, .- > - "I beneath the eave was listening, Listening to thy offered prayer ; Heard you. sobbing o'er our offspring, Heard and trembled standing there; As I beard the cold rain pattering, On the roof above my head, I resolved to shun the. tempter, 'Ere another tear was shed. "There I kneeled beneath the window, Gazing toward the clouded heaven, Asking God, if e'er his aid Unto mortal man was given, That he'd let it strengthen me, Through this scene, my hour of need; Help'me save my.labor's worth. The mouths or wife and child to feed. "And He heard me, wife; I've conquered; X no more will touch the cup ' That with hell's dark doom is mantled, That has burnt my earnings np! I no more on earth will cause thee In thy loneliness to shed Tears of anguish o'er our offspring, That now lies on yonder bed. "But while heaven is all aglowing, And all earth's a bounteous store, I will try to be more grateful Than I've ever been before; I will try to heal the rupture That has torn thy heart in twain; I will try to soothe thy sorrow,". And receive thy smile again." Stonewall Jackson, the Professor. My first recollection of Stonewall Jackson is when I was a college 007 at Lexington, Va., in the Fall of 1860. I am noc able to say whether it was the peculiar carriage of the stiff, military looking institute professor who dairy passed the college grounds that was of chief interest to the students of Washing? ton College, or whether the stories told of daring and reckless courage in hia early military life invested him with a halo of romance, and made him an object of hero worship in their youthful minds. Whatever the cause, the solid tramp of Major Jackson on the plank walk would be the signal to stop all games of mirth that may have been in progress on the college campus, nntil he had passed. The stiff, stolid looking man would pass 00, turning his head neither to the right nor left, bnt a single touch of his cap was the silent recognition given of the defer? ential respect shown by the boys. "Old Jack," as he was familiarly called by cadets and students, wis so plain in manner and attire, there was bo little effort at show, his feet were so large, and his arms and bands fastened to his body in such an awkward shape, that -the cadets didn't take much pride in him as a professor. They feared him in the lec? ture room, they paid the strictest defer? ence to him on parade, but in showing a stranger the sights about the institute, a cadet was never known to point out "Old Jack" as one of the ornamenU of the in? stitution." He was more popular with the college students, who did not have the same reasons for fearing the austerity of his manner, but who knew him as the son-iu-law of their college President, the Rev. George Junkin. My first meeting with Gen. Jackson in the social circle was one evening when he called to see a friend at our boarding house. I shall never forget the impres? sion his manner and appearance made upon me. Boy as I was, I looked upon him with a reverential awe. I bad heard the stories of his struggles in early life; of how he had walked from his house in Lewis county to Washington to receive his appointment as a cadet to West Point; of bis being ill-prepared, and the difficulty he had in keeping up with, his classes; and then I bad beard of bis bril? liant career in Mexico, of his mounting the walls of Cherubusco with the Amer? ican flag in hie hands; and here now was the hero of my youthful enthusiasm be? fore me. He was so different from what I thought a hero ought to be I There was so Tittle animation, no grace, no en? thusiasm?all was stiffness and awkward? ness. He sat perfectly erect, his back touching the back of the chair nowhere; the large hands were spread out, one on each knee, while the large feet, striking out an exact right angle to the leg, (the angle seeming to have been determined with mathematical precision,) occupied an unwarranted space. The figure* re? called to my boyish mind what I had once aeen?a rude Egyptian-carved fig? ure intended to represent one of the Pha? raohs. But when the conversation commenced I lost sight of the awkward-looking fig? ure. I even lost the reverential awe which had so deeply impressed me at, first. I only saw the mild eyes emitting gentle beams, and only heard a soft, me? lodious voice?speaking, it is true, in short, crisp sentences?but witbal as mild and winning as a woman's. I then understood how it was that Major Jack? son could be a hero. Underlying that rough, uncomely exterior was a vein of the most exquisite sentiment. In the soul of the man was that magnetism which attracted, and that power which controlled and made him the master of his fellowmeo. In after days, when I saw the uplifting of his dusty cap excite the wildest enthusiasm among his veteran legions, I knew whence the power ema? nated.? Wheeling Register. ' ? John Best, the oldest Mason in the United States, is dead. He was in his 98th or 100th year (there was an un? certainty as to his exact age), and had been for 77 years a Mason. Easier. We make the following extract from an editorial article in the last issue of the Greenville Advertiser: "Easley is situated on a high and dry ridge with a beautiful mountain back? ground, with many smiling valleys and tarms in fnll view. We were shown over several handsome and eligible buildings and business lots to be sold on next Sat? urday, 24th inst., leading back from the line of the railroad and Main street, and hope they will find purchasers at good prices and fall into hands of live and energetic men, who will improve and build up this growing site. Of course, the recent commencement of the grading of the Atlantic and French Broad Rail? road, starting off from this point and the presence of fifty convicts at work in the immediate vicinity gives hope and en? couragement, as to the future growth and prosperity of the place. On visiting the barracks about two miles north we had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Kirk, the able engineer of the company, and Mr. John McFall, the chief commissary, the latter having lost none of his vivacity, although he looks as if he had gone through a siege or two, especially among the colored troops of Port Royal and Beaufort. The grading has been finished about three-quarters of a mile, at a cost, as Capt. Kirk informed us, of about $350 per mile. And he represents that the earth work along the line, except the mountain section, will not exceed $400 to the mile. This is surely cheap enough for five feet gauge, and 60 to 65 feet grades. The convicts are humanely treated, fed well and worked up to their present ability, being raw and fresh and not inured as yet to the pick, shovel and wheelbarrow. This was our first acquain? tance personally with Capt. Kirk, and we came Off impressed with his strong prac? tical sense in his profession, and his en ergyvand vim in promoting this enter? prise. He'has discovered a remarkable pass through tbe mountains, and when the road is completed, mav well point to it as a monument of his skill in engineer? ing and untiring, unflagging zeal in its prosecution, under most disadvantageous and depressing circumstances. J - I We were most hospitably entertained during our stay at the very neat and tasty residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. Mauldin, where flowers outside and good cheer within, made the visit extremely agreetf-' ble and pleasant. After awhile, when Greenville grows to a plethoric size, and breathing room is scarce, all these near stations on the Air Liue and other roads, will doubtless become the resort of many business and profes3sonal men, who will do business in the great city and live in the suburbs. Any way it is most pleas? ant even now to have a run over to Eas? ley or Greer and other places on the road and enjoy for a day or so a look at the country/"_ I Sleeping-Car Comedy.?A traveler on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad re? lates the following incidents of travel: A middle-aged married couple have turned in next to me, having boarded the train at a way station. They have evi? dently been much hurried and are out of humor, for the wife is fretful and excited, and the husband growls above his breath in this style: "Now, I'll just bet you didn't put my night-shirt in." "8'hush I It's in the basket in the corn? er," replies the woman. "I've looked in the basket and 'taint there. I s'pose you put it at tbe bottom under the vittals." "Under the vittals, indeed! Why, John, what on earth are you a-doin'?" "I'm lookin' for my shirt." "Don't, that's the wrong basket. You've fone and spilt them pickles all over the ed I I never seen such a man!" "Never mind, Mary?you needn't tell the whole car." This in a whisper pecu? liar to the stage. "Looking for your old shirt in the din? ner basket I I don't see what anybody wants a night-shirt for on a railroad, auy how," retorted the indignant female ,* and there was a whirring sound, which indi? cated that she had pitched the missing article into his face just in time to choke off a wicked rejoinder. - "S'posen the cars would run off the track 1" added she. "You'd be a nice Sictur, wadin' out of a swamp or rollin' own a bank in that, wouldn't you ?" "I'd be just as comfortable and purty as you in that?" "S'bushI You'll disgrace both of us with your tongue," whimpering. "My tongue I Well, damn me, Mary if-" "There, now, you're cursing me, you? you?" Breaks off to sob. There's where she bad him. I fancied soon after bearing the reso? nant and beautiful sound of a kiss, but Scrhaps it was only the angels, and I rapped off to sleep again. On the fol? lowing day I saw the middle-aged couple seated opposite me munching pickles and fried chicken at intervals?as docile and- happy a couple as auy body iray wish to see. Y . _ A Strong Case.?A Detroit lawyer had a bill of $240 against a certain citi? zen put into his bands for collection the other day, and he wrote a note asking the \ debtor to call at his office and see about it, The man promptly appeared, looked the bill over, and said: "Well, I guess that's all correct." "You acknowledge the indebtedness, do you?" "I do." "And what arrangement's will you make to settle it?" "I'll put in an offset. I've been feed? ing two bogs for this man all winter, and my bill is just $240. I was figuring it ifp this very morning." "What; $240 for feeding two hogs for three or four months I" exclaimed the astonished lawyer. "Just four months, sir, and the bill is correct." "And what are the hogs worth to? day?" "Ten dollars apiece." "Well, you'll find it a hard matter to convince the court that your hog-fecd was worth any such money." "Hog-feed?" shrieked the other, as he suddenly jumped up, "do you suppose I'm charging $240 for the feed them hogs devoured ? No, sir. I put in the feed at only $40, but the $200 is for my Sunday hat, which fell into the pen and was gob? bled down, and for anxiety of mind for fear the porkers would catch the mumps from my children. Mental anguish is the backbone in this case, Bir, and every one of my family will be Heated in a row before the jury, and all will begin to weep as I rise to ask that justice be done a man who lost as fine a cow as you ever saw nine years ago this spring 1" ? The Reading Railroad Company has had built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works a passenger engine which it is designed shall make the distance from Philadelphia to New York, ninety miles, in ninety minutes, thus saving about half an hour. The driving wheels are 6J feet in diameter, and the engine weighs about 84,000 pounds, from 10,000 to 15,000 pounds more than the ordinary passenger engine. It is expected to make the en? tire distance to New York without stop Sing to take water. That this may be one it is supplied with a tank of about twice the capacity of engines in general. It will hold 4,000 gallous of water. The capacity of the ordinary passenger engine is from 2,000 to' 2,500 gallons. The en? gine will be put to work in a few days. The Greatest Blessing.?A tumplo, pure, harmless remedy, that cure every time, and prevents disease by keeping the blood pure, stomach regular, kidneys and liver active, is the greatest blessing ever conferred upon man. Hop Bitters is that remedy, and its proprietors are being blessed by thousands who have been saved and cured by it. Will you try it? See another column.?Eagle. A White Infant Turns Black.? The New York Times publishes the fol? lowing from its Philadelphia correspon? dent: "For over sixteen months an up? town physician has been attending a case of disease that is so rare that the like of it has never been known, or, at least, re? corded in medical works. It is a case of real melanosis, or pigmentation, where the pigment, or melanajmia, as it is tech? nically called, which gives color to the hair and eyes, pervades the whole body. A boy born of white parents and perfect? ly natural in color at his birth, turned under the disease as black as a full blooded negro. The parents live at No. 1307 Lemon street, the father, John Sal? ter, being a mechanic. Ten months after his marriage there was born to the couple a hue and apparently healthy boy. The infant thrived and promised to develop into a robust man. He was a beautiful child, with fair complexion, dark eyes and silky, dark brown hair, which grew in profusion. But in a few days the parents were alarmed at a remarkable change that was coming over the child. He gradually grew dark. At first his skin became a pale yellow, then deep? ened into a saffron hue, and then, tfl the terror of the pareuts, grew darker yet. The color was uniform all over the body, except at the joints, where it was a little darker, and in the palms of the hands, where it was lighter. The once brown hair grew stiff and. jet black, and the eyes also grew darker, so that the line between the pupils and iris could not be distin? guished. In spite of medical treatment the boy grew worse, and grew very weak, all the time the color of his skin deepen? ing. At last be became as black as a full-blooded negro. Thun he was at? tacked by convulsions, wbich grew more frequent and violent until they threat? ened the child's life. It was in one of these that Dr. Reynolds was called in. He succeeded in curing the spasms, and then devoted his attention to the strange disease which afflicted the child. He at once recognized it as melanosis or pig? mentation, which is mentioned iu the books in a general way, but there is no case given where it had developed all through the body. This was over sixteen mouths ago, the child being then thirteen months old. Since then the boy has greatly .improved, by degrees becoming lighter, until now be is of a light chest nut-brown color.' Since Dr. Reynolds has had the case in charge the child has been visited by over 200 physicians. A Remaukable Suicide.?A Boston dispatch to the New York Herald gives the following particulars of a peculiar and ingeniously-executed suicide which occurred recently at Chelsea, Mass.: "Two days ago a farmer named Pills bury had occasion to go to Newburyport, and left his son, Stephen M., 30 years of age, in charge of the farm. When Mr. Pillsbury returned, about noon, Monday, he looked in vain for his son. Mr. Pills bury approached the ham, unlocked the door, and in a moment thereafter a hor? rible sight met his gaze. On the floor was the body of his son, with the head almost severed from his body. The in? strument of death was a perfectly execu? ted guillotine, which theingenioussuicide bad probably spent a month in manufac? turing. The machine consisted of two perpendicular pieces of joist about two feet apart and reaching from the floor to the roof of the barn. About six feet from the fioorjhad been adjusted in a piece of wood a large, sharp axe, so that it moved up a'id down in a groove. This axe was held in its place by a water pot filled with water, attached to a lever, which in turn was made to support the axe. A hole had been made in the water pot, so that when sufficient water had leaked from it to overcome the leverage above, the axe would fall. When all arrangements had been made the young man got upon his knees, and, putting his head through an aperture made at the bottom, calmly awaited death. He had previously sup? plied himself with about two pounds of ether, and while the water was slowly dripping from the pot he placed the ether to his mouth. When found the head was only hanging to the body by a small piece of flesh." A Plucky Elopement.?The Eliza? beth City (N. C.) neighborhood is in a state of great social excitement over the recent sensational elopement and mar? riage of a gushing young couple. Jona? than Ivy has for some time been court? ing the handsome daughter of a respect? ed and well-to-do-citizen. The' young girl's-name was Florence Seymark. Her parents did not approve yonig Ivy's ad? vances, and finally forbade bim their house. The lovers, however, managed to meet clandestinely and made up their minds to an elopement, which was to have occurred to-night. Old man Seymark, by some means or other, got wind "of the proposed escapade, and went gunning yesterday for Jonathan. Coming up with the gay young lover, he blazed away at him, shooting him in the left shoulder, and inflicting a painful but not dangerous wound. Flor? ence was overwhelmed with grief by her father's hasty conduct but her passion for her wounded lover was intensified a thousand fold. She sent him a letter telling him she would fly with him that night if he would come for her. So last night young Ivy put in an appearance with a close carriage about 1 o'clock. Miss Florence was in a terrible dilem? ma, for her cruel parents, to insure against any escapade, had not only locked the girl into her room, but also taken away every stich of her clothing. But she was not to be baffled. She made a rope out of the sheets of her bed and let herself down to the ground with no other garment but night-dress covering her blooming charms. She told the coach? man to "look the other way," aud after her lover had helped her into the car? riage and covered up her shivering form with the carriage robes, she made him sit on the box with the coachman. They drove to the house of a friend, where Florence was attired in proper garments, and then proceeded to the house of the sympathizing preacher, some distance from town, where the lovers were speedily united in wedlock. ? At their State Conveution in Wor ehester, last week the Massachusetts Republicans elected four Edmunds men as their delegates at large to Chicago, and four other Edmunds men us alternat? es. The vote cast fur these delegates ranged from 779 to 581, the highest vote received by any of their successful com? petitors being 300. As the Blaine men and Grant men voted together, it will be seen that the third term is not popular in iu Massachusetts. The Convention did not formally instruct the delegates, but declared that the candidate for President should be a statesman who would not drive away Republican or independent voters, and commended Geoige F. Ed? munds by name to the consideration of the delegates as a statesman of that sort. It is understood that the delega? tion's second choice is Sherman, who is complimented in the resolutions, and this explains why the Edmunds and Sherman men voted togetber in the Convention. ? A railroad train met with what might have been called a shipwreck, on the shore of Lake Frie. A storm raised the water over the tracks and put out the fire in the locomotive; a heavy sea dashed against the cars, breaking their sides, and a floating box car carried away the cab of the engine by a collision ; and finally the passengers were Uiken to the shore on a raft made of ties and boards. Thousands of children die under the age of five years. Why? Physicians attribute it to various causes, und have a vocabularly of infantile diseases too numerous to mention. Worms! Worms 1 Shrincr's Indian Vermifuge will kill them and restore the child. ? They call a fire in Georgia a case of accidental Shermanism. The Dog as an Article of Food. ?By most people the dog is valued only during life; his skin is not particularly valuable, and his flesh is but little es? teemed. This is by no means, however, the case everywhere. It is very well known that the Chinese use the dog as a regular article of food. Many of the North American tribes look upon an en? tree of dog as the greatest possible deli? cacy they can set before a stranger. Sir Leopold McClintock relates that in the Sandwich Islands be had the most pro? fuse apologies offered to him because there was no puppy to be had for a feast to which he was invited. The Esqui? maux, too, look upon a dish of young dog as a great treat, and it is related that a Danish captain provided his friends with a feast of this kind, and, when they praised his mutton, sent for the skin of the beast and exhibited it to them. Tbe Greeks and Romans also used the dog as an article of diet, and many ancient writers, such as Galen and Hippocra:es, represent dog meat as a highly desirable dish. ? ? Edward Green, who died at Gal la? tin, Tenu., last week, clnimed to be 106 years old. The surviving members of bis family believe him to have been 112 or 114 years of age. He was a native of North Carolina, and came to Tennessee when a young man, stopping at Nash? ville, which was then a military post. He assisted in building one of the first houses erected in Nashville. Only last year he was able to work in his garden. ? After a telegraph pole had fal-en ou a Savannah negro's head, he threw up bis hands and shouted: "Don't bit me again wid yer club, Mr. Policeman. It wasn't me that stole der chickens. It was Deacon Henry." Then he looked, saw what hit him, and walked off, say? ing; "Golly, I'se in luck dis mornin'. I ?'spected dat de policeman had me shunh dht time." ? The eccentric George Francis Train derives an annual income from his real estate in Omaha, Newport and Now York of $19,000. He refuses every year $50,000 for lecturing engagements, and spends only $470 a year on himself, which amount includes bread for the sparrows in Madison square, peanuts for the children and candy for the servants. ? Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, re? cently asked a gas company to reduce an excessive bill for gas for tbe Georgia State House. The gas company refused, and the Governor then ordered the gas to be shut off, and directed the purchaae of eight lamps for the use of tbe officers of the Government. ? The oldest theatre in America is the Savannah theatre, which was built in 1803. It is a massive building of brick and stone, and has never been remodeled or changed in any way. The architect was an Englishman who was brought to this country by the Blake brothers, two wealthy planters. ? The members of the Oil City Derrick staff were bluffing as to who bad got off the best thing during the week. When it came to tbe last man, he said he thought tbe best thing he had got off was bis dirty shirt. ? Young ladies who wish to have small mouths are advised to repeat tins at frequent intervals during the day: "Fanny Finch fried five floundering frogs for Francis Fowler's father." ?

Jan 2-2, 1850 2$ The World for 1880 Democrats everywhereshould Inform themselves carefully alike of "the action of their party through? out the countrp and of the movements of their Re? publican opponents. A failure to do this in 1878 contributed greatly to t lie low l>y the Democracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polN. The vear 1880 promisor to he one of the most in tcresiing and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It w'ill witness a presidential election which may result in re-establishing the Government of this country on the principles of its constitutional- founders, or in permanently changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. The Word, as the only daily English newspaper published In the eity of New' York which upholds the doctrines of consti? tutional Democracy will steudily represent the Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partisanship, but tempe? rately ami firmly. As a newspaper the World, Do? ing the organ of no man, no clique and no Interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can make of each day's passing history In th? city, the state, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all tilings in all that it publishes. No mau, however humhlc, shall ever he permitted truly to complain that he hos been unjustly dealt within the columns of the World. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boost that it can silence the fair criticism of the World. Durihg the post year the World has seen it* Ja; i v circulation trebled and its weekly circulation |m. lied far beyond that of any other weekly news? paper iu the count ry. This great Increase has been won, as the World believes, by truthfulness, en? terprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to i'tsclf and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day. It is our hope and It will be our endeavor that the World's) record for 1SSU may be written in the approbation and the support of many thousands more of now readers in all ptrts of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible Mates.
