"The bravest are the truest; The lovi: g ara the daring." rjol. Christie, of North Carolina fell mortally wounded at the battle of Gettysburg while gallantly lead iug his men against the enemy's breatworks. Jle was taken to Winchester where he was nnrsed tenueily until hiy destb. He longed tn see his young wife, his darling Lizzie, but when she reached Win chester he was dead. His last words were, '-Kiss me for Lizzie." The following beautiful and touch ing lines on the incident were first published in the Richmond Chris tian Advocate. They are worthy of preservation for the style in which they are written and for the sentiment which they breathe. I am dying is she coming? Throw the the window open wide, Is fche coming? Oh! I love her more than all the world beside; In her young and tender beauty, must, Oh! must she feel this logs? Savior, hear my poor petition, teach her how to bear this cross. Help her to be calm and patient when I moulder in the dust; Let her say and feel, my Father, that thy ways are true and just. Is she coming? Oo, and li.-ten 1 would see her face once more; I would hear her speaking to me ere life's fevered dream is o'er; T would fold her to my bosom, look into her soft, bright eye; I would tell her how I loved her, kiss her once before I die. Is fche coming? O 'tis evening and my darling comes not still; Lift the curtain it grows darker it is sunlight on the hill; All the evening dews are falling I am cold the light is gone; Ls she comins? Softly, Foftly comes death's spent footsteps on. I am going, come and kis me, kiss me lor my dailing wife; Take to htr my parting blessing, take the last warm kiss of life, Tell her I will wait to greet her, where the good and lovely are. In that home untouched by sorrow, tell her she must meet ma there. Is she cominj.? Lift the curtain Let me see the fading liirht; 0 1 want to live to sec her, surely she will come to iiight. Surely, ere the daylight dieth I will hold her t") my breast; With her l ead upon my bosom, I could calmly .'ink to rest, ft, is bar 1 to die without her; look! 1 think the's coming; now; 1 can almost feel her kis-es on my faded cheek and brow, f cm almost hear her whi-per, feel her cheek upon iny cheek Hark! I hear the front door open; is s-he c J filing? did she Fpeak? No! Well, drop the curtain softly, 1 will see hr face no more, 'Till I see it smiling on me on that bright and better shore. Tell her she must come to me in that Elen land of light; Tell her I'll be waiting for her where there is no death no night; Tell her that I called her darling, blessed her with my dying breath; Come and kiss me br'my Lizzie, tell her love outbveth death. Emergencies. (A'outh's Companion.) It has been truly said that the luxuries ot one age are the necessi ties ol the next, and it may be added that the luxury of one man is the necessity of his neighbor. In fact, the two mingle so completely tbat it is dillicuit to draw the line be tween them. At a meetiDg of the Board of Aldeimen in a Western city, the presiding ollicer took occasion to reproach the members with laxity of attendance. "At the last meeting," he said, severely, "only three members were present. Now, gentlemen, the city nays jdu to attend to your duties, and I bope to see a resolution passed defining what is a proper excuse for non-attendance.'' Debate followed, and finally a motion was made defining a reason able excuse for non-attendance as "death or serious illness in the family, illness of a member, or ab- ! -et:ce on municipal business The-n a sei ions-looking member arose, aud said, with the greatest apparent anxiety: "But, sir, what is a member to do wheu there is a base-ball game?"

Why should not hus bands and wives bound together as they are in the most intimate of all earthly relations, and necessarily in constant intercourse with each other, conseci ate and hallow the sacred relation, and bless them selves, by always using kind words when they epeak to each other? v' here is the place for bard words, angry wo.rd?, and words of reproach and bitterness? Such words always leave a shaip sting behind them. They are not the words of adection, and become neither husband nor wife. They contribute nothiug to the happiness of cither, and are the prolific source of a large amount of misery. The husband who abuses the wife by his word?, aud the wife who snaps and snarls at her hus band, are alike untrue to their marital pledge, and really in a very bad way. Such husbands and wives ought at once to repent of their sins against each other, and acquiie better affections and better manners. Speak kindly. Why not? Why should not parents always speaii in this way to their children, and why should not children always eo speak to their parents? It' parents thns speak, children will naturally learn to do the same thing. The example by the parents will reproduce itself in the practice and habits of the children; and the latter will grow up into manhood or womanhood nth a gentleness and softness of manners, and a carefulness in the use of words that is characteristic of refiued and cultivated beings. Authority, when exercised through kind words, is scarcely felt simply as authority. Ihe .element of severity is withdrawn from if, and obedience o it is secured by love. Parents who allow themselves to get into fits of passion with their children, aud then thunder and storm at them in the lauguage of vehemence and anger, are making a grave mistake in the family gov ernment. Such parents need first of ail to govern themselves and put their own passions under healthful restraint. Speak kindly. Why not? Why should not brothers aud sisters living in the same house, eating at the same table, and fed and clothed by the same bounty, always speak to each other in this wa 2 By so doing they will minister to each other's happiness, avoid petty quar rels, make home pleasant, cultivate good aflections, gratify their parents and please God. As they become men aud women they will be scat tered hither and thither; and when thus scattered it will be pleasaut for them to look back to their child hood days, and remember that their intercourse with one another was kindly and affectionate. The friend ship then formed will follow them through life. Yer, speak kindly. Why not? Why should not men who are asso ciated together in business, study and practice the law of kind words tawards each other? Why should not the master sneak kindly to his servant? Why should notone speak kindly to a stranger who may ask him a qoestion? Why should not those who differ in opinion address eacu other in the use of respectful and kindly words? Why should not those who oppose moral evils temper their language with the law of kindness in the form of utterance? Why should not the minister of the gospel, the doctor and the nurse m the sick room, the buyer and the seller, the banker and the merchant, the governor and the governed, the judge on his bench, the warden of a prison, and indeed, every man and every woman, on all occasions, in all circumstance-, and under all provocations, both study and prac tice the law of kind woids in the total intercourse ol life fiom the cradle to the grave. We would like to have our lead ers, each one for himself, ponder these questions; and also the title placed at the head oftbis article. There is an amazing power for good or evil in words. A large part of human influence is exercised through this channel. What one is iu life, how he affects others, and bow they feel toward him, depends very gieatly upon the use he makes of his tongue. If he goes throucb I life with a lawless and acrid heart, LXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. XECK. N. G. THURSDAY. AUCUST 20, 1801 hurling epithet right and left at others, blistering the feasibilities of his fellow-men by bis own vehe mence, and disgusting them witb his vulgarity, ho may set it down as a fact that he will make himself a nuisance in the social system Everybody will bo afraid of him, aud manage, as far as possible, to keep clear of him. If, on the other hand, he sweetens his own life with kindness of words, he will always be a pleasant persou to meet, to talk with, and be acceptable and agreeable anywhere and every where. Society will hod good ue for such a persoD, and will use him to its advantage and to his advan tage. Kind words are fbe cheapest, and, at the same time in practical power for good results, the most potent words that one can use. Reader, speak kindly. You will thereby avoid saying what might bo offensive to others, and while making yourself happy also make others happy. Spurgeon Says Hats Off. Contemporary Review ) Mr. Sporgeon has always been perfectly appalling in his readiness to deal with insolence in the houfe of God. The finest case on record i?, perhap3, one in which three young fellows came in and settled them selves conspicuously in the gallery with their bats od. In vaia the officials requested them to uncover. Of course Mr. Spargeoa's eye wa? soon opon them, and Ieadinf his discourse aroaod to the respect which all Christians are bound to show for the feelings of other?, "My friend," he sai "the other clay 1 went Into a Jewish syuagogue, and I naturally uncovered my head; bat on looking around I perceived that ail the rest wore their hat?, and so, not wishing to offend against what I supposed to be their reverent practice, though contrary to ray own, I conformed to Jewish use and put on my hat. I will now ask those three yosng Jews up in the gallery to show the sime deference to our Christian practice in the house of God as I was prepared to fhow them when I iited their synasojup, and take of their hats." He would indeed be pedaut and a rprig who could refuse a sympathetic smile of approval, even in tha sanct uary, to a rebuke fo genial, to witty and so jast ! Advantage of Total Abstinence. (Mail and Express.) It, has often been notel that mod erate drinking lower3 the vitality and resisting power of the system. This effect uf alcohol shows itself when a moderate drinker falU with an attact of pneumonia or meets with an accident such as breaking his leg. Ia a largT proportion ol cases delirium tiemes will develop and greatly diminish the patient's chances for recovery. The d-linum is not due to alcohol, but to the fact that alcohol lowcr3 the resistance of the nervous system, and the shock causes delirium. Tbis is especially so in those exhausting diseases such as pneumonia and typhoid, in which recovery depends so much on the vitality of the patient, and the readi ness with which stimulants act in moments of heart failure. If the system is used to alcohol, even in j small doses, the effect will not be eo i marked when it is ued aa a mcdi- cine in sickness, and the chances for life will diminished.

LUXUI.Y OK WOK AM'it NTS TO DISSIPATION. (Helcn Jy in Harper's l?a.r. Mr. Howells savs "e are all blinded, we are all weakened by s false i leal of felf-sacrifice." Even a cursory glance at ourselves and those about us confirms the truth of this Etatemer.t. In Bom.' way we have so misinterpreted the Bible as to telieve that pure religion and jndefiled consists in ignoring com mon sense. We do not dre trust our own judgement in the crises of sorrow and disaster, ard imagine that the most painful course, by reason of its very pain, is the one we ought to follow. Many of O'lr funeral custom?, through a false idea of what is due the dead, become barbarous inflictions upon the living. We arc wanting in feeling for those whom God has taker, we believe, if e do not torture ourselves bv every j sight and sound calculoted to increase our suffering. It is a remnant, per haps, of the savage idea that a grave mast be heaped with sacrifices. There it such a thing as a luxury of 03 amounting to dissipation. It is quite as selfish as any avoidance of paio, and more injarioua to other?. Childten are dressed in mourning garments, the significance of which they cannot nn ierstand, and depress ed by darkened windows and hyster ical outbursts of grief. Sometimes khey grow to hate the very name of the dead, whom m their ignorance thej hold accountable for the drear iness of their lives. Often entire families have been sacrifice! through a mistaken con ception of the rights of one member. Blood is thicker than water, the adage runs, and hence to the Mack sheep are offered up all the fatlinys of the flock. Sentiment says we have no right to deny the shelter of the home to the prodigal, no matter how vile and impenitent he may be We forget to ask where the gain lies in allowing the son who has wasted his subr-tance in riotous living tu squander the inheritance of his brotner. The young girl L.sists upon giving up the man she loves and who loves her, ia order that he may mrry some one he does not care for. Tnree livt-6 are thu3 ruimd instead of a possible ore. The altars of philanthropy are wet with the blood of women who have botn gratified and sacrificed them selves in excessive zeal in behalf of orphanages and reformatories. Their own children are left motherless just at the time when they need careful training most,. In cases of illness there appears to be an idea that it is quite praise worthy for those caring for the invalid to Wantonly overtax their strength, and so expose themselye", that the logical consequences is an increase of suffering all around. The question where docs our daty to oarself end, anl that to other? begin, is so subtle that it divides the joint and marrow. To quote Mr. Howella sgaio : "It is the economy of pain that naturally suggests itself, and whi.h would insist upon itself If we were not all perverted by tra ditions which are the figments of the shallowe t sentimentality." A Georgia editor who is also a real estate agent, a building and loan a.-sociation director, an attor ney at law, clerk of the town council, and pastor of the village church, was recently called upon to perform the marriage ceremony.

The lawyers stated the case and added tint the opinion of .Sena tor Evarts would be final with them, and they would adopt their future course according to his advice.

Had the cor poration gone to a less reliable law yer and received "ao" for an answer, it would have cost the m many mil lions. There is another unique feature of thi-j instance. It is the only ran on record in which cx Senator Evarts ia known to have said simp ly "jes." His sentences are ut-u-tl- long and involved, but in this case one word sufli :e and he earn ed his enormrus fee. Anothdr fee of $250,000 was paid hy the sugar lni9t tt John E.
