From th ri'troit Fn-c I'rt'flB.
If you were a wryeant at the deak of
the Central Station you, too, would seem
lti i in and hard-hearted to un uutider.
They aee to uimh eriluc ihey ee so
many phasoa ot it they hear the same
cie-upoa over and over until they seem to
lu.se all faith in and all hopu fur those
who tin. Their hearts grow hardened,
tho well springs of ruerey dry up, and
you sec no pity in their glances. And
yet it needs but a sentiment to break
through the crust.
The uther night a woman was brought
in staggering drunk. She had a face
that was pinched and drawn, and it was
plain that woiry and hunger made her
look years older than she was. You and
I would have looked into her face and
Aaid that she had some excuse for tempo
rarily seeking to forget her identity.
The grim old Sergeant only saw an in
fraction of the law, and he frowned upon
her as she stood clutching the desk.
Here was a living hook which recorded
tweuty years of worry, suffering, heart
aches, poverty, woe aud want, but he
refused to turn the pages, lie had no
suriosity; he had uo pity.
''Name!'' he sharply demanded.
She gave it.
"What have you got in that parcel?"
"I'll never give it up !"she exclaimed.
It was something wrapped iu au old
handkerchief, and she clung to it the
tighter. You and I would liavo won
dered if it wasn't a bit of money she had
there, but the Sergeant thought of poi
son or some other danger aud ordered it
hauded up. It took two men to release
her grasp, and wheo the parcel was un
done, what do you suppose they found
iu it? A wee little stocking, such as a
child a couple of years old might wear.
The big toe of the wearer had uiade a
e, and the heel had been worn thin,
and the bright red color had faded away
as the glow fades from the summer sky
when the twilight comes down.
The Sergeant help it up not in mock
ery and ridicule out as H it were a
lender thing. The grimncss went out of
his face, a softness replaced the frown,
and, as the womau bi lit her head aud
sobbed, he said :
"It is the relic of her dead child!
I'oor, uuforluuate r olher!"
"You won't lake it from me?" she
gasped.
"Potior tue world! urn you go
home ?"
' I I guess so. I feel stronger."
"Then go, and may all men and women
ha merciful to you."
The spring uf mercy had been touched,
As the grim old Sergeant held up that
taded stocking he remembered that lie
had relics at hum" iclics of children
who had danced on his kuec in the sun
shine uf the past, but who now moldered
in the dust. Not fr all the mouey in
the world would he have brought one
more burden to that soul.
STILL, A MAN.
Who forgets tho auecdoto of Napo-
eon and the village bells of Brienue?
lie was riding late one day over a battle
field, gazing, stem and unmoved, on the
dying and tho dead that strewed the
ground by thousands about him, when
suddenly "those evening bells" struck up
a merry peal. The emperor paused to
listen; bia heart had softened; memory
was busy with the past; ha was no longer
the oonipieMr of Austcrlita, but the inno
cent, happy school boy at Bricnne; and,
dismounting from his horse he seated
himself on the stump of an old tree, and
burst into tears. The rock was smitten,
and living waters came gushiug from it.
Man is a violin, and it is only when
the last chord u broken that he becomes
piece of wood.

Some of your children have already
gone. Sometime ago I buried otic if
them, and though people passing along
the street and seeing white crape on the
doorbell may have said : "It is only a
child," yet when the broken headed
father came to solicit my service ho said:
"Come around and comfort us, for though
she was only fifteen months old we loved
her so much." Ah ! it does not take
long for a child to get its arms around

imagine to-day, with one hand -holding
fast the shining gate, and the other hand
swung out toward you, saying ;

always thought right, and spoken right
and acted right, you and I would have
had no interest in it, had no share in it;
you and I would have stuck to the raft
mid ocean, aud let the ship sail by, carry
ing perfect passengers from a perfect
life on earth to a perfect life ill heaven.
Oh! I have heard the Commander of
that ship is tho same great und glorious
and sympathetic tine who hushed the

I have heard that all the passengers on
the ship are sinners saved by grace. And
bo we hail the ship, and it bears down

A TOUCH RAT STORY.
A naval officer says: I have always
felt some regard for a rat since my cruise
iu the Constellation. We wero lilting
for Bca at Norfulk, aud t.A'uig in water
and provisions; a plank was resting on
the sill of one of the parts which couimu
nicuted wilh the wharf. On a brigl t
moonlight evening we discovered two
rats on the plank coming into the ship.
Tho foremost was leading the other by a
straw, one end of which each held in his
mouth. We managed to capture them
both, and found, to our surprise, that
the one led by the other waa stone blind.
His faithful friend was trying to get him
on board wheru he would have eomforta
ble quarters during a three years' cruise.
We felt do disposition to kill either,
and landed them on the wharf. How
I many there are in this world to whom
I he fidelity of that rat readeth lesson I
A CEM OF ORATORY.
At a social party given to the mem
bers of the bench and bar, nt Jackson,
Tcnn., during a session of tho Supreme
Court, Col. I.andon C. Haynes littered
the following gem of oratory, lluring
the evening Gen. N. 11. Forrest arose
and suid :

batiks of the Watauga, whic!. in the In
dian vernacular, means 'beaulil'ul river,'
and beautiful river it is. I have stood
upon its banks in my childhood and
looked down through its glassy waters
and have seen a heavcu below, und then
looked up and beheld a heaven irbovc re
flecting, like two mirrors, each in the
other, its moons and planets and trem
bling stars. Awav from its banks of
rock and cliff, hemlock and laurel, pine
aud cedar, stretches a vale buck to the
distant niuuntaius as beautiful and ex
quisite as any in Italy or Switzerland.
There stand the great I'naka, the treat
Kuan, the great Black, and the great
Smoky Mount .ius, among the loftiest in
America, un whose summits the clouds
gather uf their own accord even on the
brightest day.
"There I have seen tho great spirit of

Col. Haynes pronounced these marvel

NOT SO BAD AS WE SEEM
It is true that iu those curlier ugis
men died lor faith, principle, ideas; but
so do they die fur them in this uge.
'.very day tlimiiohuut the world men
urc taking flying leaps to death because
ot tlieir fidelity to ideas. J he pour
switchman that last week leaped on the
railroad track iu from of the rapidly
moving truiu aud flung two little chil
dren fruiu it but lint his own death
under tin; murderous wheels uf'the pun
deruus machine, died because of his idea
of duty. It was not his duty to fling
away his own life fur that of ethers, but
he thought it was, und ho did it. Self
sacrifice, uo-eili.hne.-s of tin' highest and
uublest surt, is not of any particular age,
hut of all ages. The spirit of cuinpro
mise is the spirit of selli.-hness, aud it is
not un exclusive growth of the present
time.
Indeed, it Would be difficult, if nut im-
possible, to find any other period of the
world's histoty in which the spirit of
charity, ut good will toward men, was
more si'titient or active than it is to day,

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
A Ijl ll'K AMI INKXI'ENSIVE WAY
1 TII.IZK. RAMIE.
A discovery which premises to be of
the utmost importance to the southern
States lias been niiule by llr. C. K. I'ank
Din, of Charleston. It is not ptaclicable
ut this time to give the eletails, but suffi
cient can be suid to show the nature of
the discovery aud ils value.
At different times many experiments
looking to (he cultivation uf ramie have
been made in the sutilh, and the plant,
it has he-en found, can he grown without
difficulty. It will grow anywhere that
lotton grows, ut no expense whatever for
cultivation It grows like n w, cd, und is
nut subject tolhe ravages uf worms, nor
is it liable to any of the other maludics
to which the more te nder cotton is sub
ject. Uumie, then, can bo grown with
out difficulty. The Iruuble hitherto has
b m to find a quick and inexpensive way
in which the bark uf lip ratuie plant
could be prej ared for manufacture with
out injury tu the peculiar quality nud
value ot the htirc. it is such a process as
that which has been so lung suught
which Dr. I 'an L n i ii has discovered.
W ithout any mechanical process of
consiqucnce, and by a simple chemical
treatment, occupying in all from 48 to tiO
hours, the burk uf the ramie is brought
into condition to be curded and spun, so
that iu this conditiun it is available fir
all the various use's fur the different tex
tile materials, such as the finest cotton
and silk. Dr. I'anknin has been engag
ed on his experiment for a considerubb
time, and has now brought it to a satis
factory conclusion.
The process is of the simplest possible
character. Ramie is cultivated aud man
ufactured fur use in fiuc domestic gords,
linens and similar cloths, but the process
is kept secret, and the right to make use
of it is not sold. Tha specimens of the
ramie stuck subjected to treatment by Dr-
I'anknin shuw the utter destruction of
the skin or bark of the plant, und of vis
cous or glutinous matter which hulelH the
fibres together. The fibre is ready for
spinning. The. cost of preparing the
plant is said tu be trifling.
