THE DYING MAN AND THE
DOLLAR.
TNE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.
Ii eminently a Family Medicine ; and by being
kept ready for immediate resort will save many
an hour of Buffering and many a dollar in tune
and doctor' bills.
The writer of the following sketch is in
his grave. He died, in otter abandon-
m cut, in the city of Philadelphia, some
three Tears ago. Those who knew George
Lippard, while they lament his fate and
drop a tear to his memory, will read this
sketch with interest ; and, equally with
those who knew him not, may derive from
it something more, we trust, than simple
amusement.

He took it and clutched it in his long,
skinny fingers, tried its sound against the
bed-post, and then gazed on it long and
intently with his doll leaden eyes.
That day, in the hurry of business,
death had struck him, even in the street.
He was hurrying to collect the last
month's, rent, and was on the verge of the
miserable court where his tenants herded
like beauts in their kernels he was there
with the band-book in his hand, when
death laid his icy hand upon him.
He was carried home to his splendid
mansion. He laid upon a bed with a sat

and the preacher were sent for. All day

which he read :

"Hardly compos mentis yet," was the
whispered reply. "Wait ! He'll be lucid
after awhile."
"My dear," said the wife, "had I not
better send for a preacher."
She rose and took her dying husband
by the hand, but he did not notice it. His
eye was upon the dollar.
He was a rich man. He owned palaces
in Walnut and Chestnut streets, and hov
els and courts in tbe outskirts. He had
iron mines in the State ; copper mines on
the Lakes somewhere ; he had gold on in
terest in California. His name was bright
upon the records of twenty banks he
owned stock of all kinks ; he had half a
dozen papers in his pay. He kuew but
one crime to be indent without the pow
er to pay. He knew bat one virtue to
get money. That crime he had never
forgotten this virtue he had never for
gotten, in the long way of thirty-five
years.
To hunt down a debtor, to distress a
tenant, to tnrn a few additional thousands
by a sharp speculation these were the
chief achievements of his life.
He was a good man his name was up
on the silver plate upon the pew door of
a velvet-cushioned church.
He was a benevolent man for every
thousand dollars which he wrung from the
tenants of his courts, or from the debtors
who writhed beneath his heels, he gave
ten dollars to some benevolet institution.
He was a just man the gallows and
the jail always found him a iaithfnl and
unswerving advocate.
And now he is a dying man see 1 as
he sits upon the bed of death, with the
dollar in his elinehed hand, j .
O ! holy dollar, object of his lifelong
pursuit, what comfort hast thou for him
now, in his pain of death ?
At length the dying man revived and
dictated his will. It was strange to see
the mother, and sou, and lawyer mutter-,
ing, and sometimes wrangling, beside the
bed of death. All the while the tes
tator clutched the dollar in his right
hand.
While the will was beine made the
And the wife closed his eyes and tried
to wrench the dollar from his hand, but
in vain. He clutched it as though it were
the only saviour to light bim through the
darkness of eternity.
And the son sat down with dry eyes
and thought of the hundreds of thousands
which were now his own.
Next day there was a hearse followed
by a train of carriages nearly a mile in

the virtues of tbe deceased by the preach
er. "
There was a fluttering of crape badges
and rolling of carriages, and no tears

the palace, where sorrow died, even as tbe
crape was taken from the door-knob.
And in the grave the dead hand still
clinched the dollar.

Mendelssohn and His Sister.
The union of Felix and Fannie Men
delssohn was something wonderful, like
the wonderful genius of sensibility and
music which endowed them both. Such
pure, tender, arid noble souls are made for
each other. The more fervid and exac
ting bonds of marriage and parentage did
not interfere with the profound sympathy
in which they lived, both when together
or apart. Their emotions too deep and
strange to be conveyed to the world, like
articulate thoughts, they expressed in
tones. Seating themselves at their instru
ments, they would for hours carry on an
intercourse perfectly intelligible to each
other, and more adequate and delicious
than any ordinary vocal conversation.
When Felix, at Naples, at Rome, or at
London, sent to Fanny a letter composed
of notes, she translated it first with her
eyes, and then with the piano. The moet
charming transcripts of these affectionate
and musical souls were thus made in mu
sic. Sweeter or more divinely gifted be
ings have rarely appeared on this earth.
1 heir relations of spirits were sensitive
and organic, far beneath the reach of in
tellectual consciousness tidings through
the ethereal medium by some subtile tele
graphy of feelings, which transcends un
derstanding, and belongs to a miraculous
region of life. For, when Fanny died,
iu her German home, Felix, amid a happy
company in London, suddenly aware of
some terrible calamity from the distur
bance of equilibrium and dread sinking of
his soul, rushed to the piano and poured
out his anguish in an improvisation of
wailing and mysterious strains, which
held the assembly spellbound and in
tews.
In a few days a letter reached him an
nouncing that his sister had died at that
very hour. On receiving the tidings, he
uttered a shriek, and the shock was so
great as to burst a blood vessel in his
brain. Life bad no charm potent euough
to staunch and heal the cruel laceration

The Man Who Dues Not Succeed.
This beautiful extract is from the peu of
Hou. George S. Hillard : "I confess an
increasing respect for men who have not
succeeded in life, as those words are com
monly used. Heaven is said to be a place
of those who have not succeeded on earth ;
and it is sure that celestial grace does not
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of world

Early Recollections of Morgan-
ton. Under this head the Piedmont
Press, of Thursday, has the following.
Alexander Erwin, the grandfather of
Col. Jos I Erwin, the late Dr. W. C. Tate,
Mrs. D' Jno. G. McDowell, Mrs. Burton
Craige and other descendants, was one of
tbe early pioneers of the county, and lived
on the place now owned by Mrs. Hannah
Caldwell. He was a member of tbe Legis
lature tor several successive terms after
the Revolution and was distinguished
during the war for his fidelity to the cause
of Indepeudenee. After peace the old
man still retained bis prejudice against
the tories, and it was his habit on public
early realised that be waa doomed. From

leverage by which at the sacrifice of the
hand, if need be, be could tear himself
free.
We can imagine the agony suffered by
the poor wretch as he wailed long hours
for tbe rising of the tide which should end
his misery by death. The actual pain
endured mast have been unspeakable, and
no help was nearer than eighteen miles.
We can conceive of uothing so horrible

victim was thrown to the ground, a boat
was turned upside down over him and

honey to attract tbe insects. There be
was left to die. Tbe poor Chinaman's
plight was almost as bad as this, bat,
happily, the returning tide prevented tbe
agony from being aa lasting. Tbe inex

work. There came a time wben the poor
Chinaman eonld strain no longer, and

He came and said his prayers deco
rously and in measured words, but never
once did the dyiug man relax his hold of
the dollar.
"Can't you see I'm going!" at length

look toward tbe preacher.
The preacher, whose cravat was of the
whitest, took a book with a golden clasp
from a marble table. And he read :
"And I say nnto you, it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter tbe kingdom
ofGad.'
"Who said these words who who?"

preacher's head.
The preacher hastily turned over the
leaf and did not reply.

What the Farmers of Alabama
Mean to Do. At a meeting composed of
the members of nine of the Grangers of Rus
sell county, Ala., held at Seale, on Satur
day the 3rd, the following sensible resolu

vast sums of money for commercial fertili

manure at home as possible, and turtuer
improve his lauds by resting and rotation
of crops.
3rd. That all persons refuse to buy farm
produce between the hours of sunset and
sunrise, and that each grange respectifully
request the several merchanU of their
neighborhoods not to do so.

This is a step in tbe ngnt airection,
and it would be well for tbe grangers in
this section, to adopt and carry out the
above resolutions.

So long as God holds you np by the
will and determination to serve Him with
which He inspires you; go on boldly and
do not be frightened at your little checks
and falls, so loug as you can throw your
self into His arms in trusting love. Go
there with an open, joyful heart as often
as possible; if not always joyful, at least
go with a brave and faithful heart.

we cannot sit idly by and allow her to

so selfuh ; you are gluttonous in your
desires ; you are laboring from a severe
