Domestic Affection:
[Foifite Tazewell County Republican.]
We sometimes in. =journey - through
life, meet men who think. any. indulgence
of affection is a weakness. They will re ,
turn from a journey and greet their fon

one; and will move among their: children.

The Prophet Olathe servant who came
to knowlsrimi his lord, the King, might
do to 'o r belieided of his leprosy, to go

far away; andllte servantangrilyreplied:
Is thy.,taer;vant the King, a. dog, that he
should db this small thing. Have we not

thing, then would'st thou haire obeyed,—
It is now either' ;• some great thing must
be done when no great thing is needed..:---
If we have no fatal disease by inheritance,
we may generally have health by keeping
a clear conscience, owing no man anything,
living simply, working hard, sleeping free

if we do not find recreation enough in
labor, take time for it .outside of work;
buCtake itsomehow, and is good measure.,

Why A Dutchman -did not:have
a Clock
There is residing in one of the bor
der cities • of the Commonwealth of Ken
tucky a German barber, who is quite a
charaeter in his way. The fellow does
not appear to recognize any distinction
whatever among the people with whom
he comes in contact. If the Governor
of the State were to step in his shop to
get shaved, the probabilaty is that he
would open a familier conversation with
him, and call him by his christian name
before the job were ended. - Not long ago
Col. James, T. a prominent citizen of
the .place desiring to curtail the hairy por
tion of his visage, called , upon the teuton
aforesaid to engage his professional 'servi
ces. It seems that the Colonel was known
to the lathering knight, and of course was
the recipient of much confidential remark
during the operation which produced the
usual feeling of annoyance. As he was
about leaving the shop, the razor-strapper
called to him :
`,Hello, Yim told me cot time it is yore
you goes away," This was too much for
the Colonel's dignity, and turning .sharp
ly around remarked : "Dem you, why
don't you keep's -clock, and not bother
every gentleman that come into yoarshopr
"Hold on dere," replied the Teuton,
"come you back, Yin, gust one minute
and I told you how it was dat I don't
got any glock.' The request Father ex
cited the 'Colonel's curiosity; and he of
course waited for the explanation. "Vail,

Good Advices.
Spurgeon sententiously expresses a num
ber of oughts "worth remembering" in'
the following appropiate sentences, which
he publishes "advice gratis:"
'Nobody islike an honest' man' than a
more'rogne':
When you see a man with a great deal
of religion displayed in his shop-window,
you may depend upon it he keeps a very
small. stock of it within.

One beautiful imit- of our humanity is
the tenderness with which we cherish the
memory of the departed. Let Death take
from .the household a troublesome and
ungovernable child, , and all that is remem
bered is his sweet and •gentle words, his
rare qualities, his loving ways,his beauty,
and his manliness. The child stands bel'
fore his parents' eyes,. not a he-was ..; , but
as he might have been hiid all . God put in

He is now always 'dear chile in' their
thoughts,and not selfish or unlovely. The
children long for their dead companions,
with real and tender grief;. they would be
pleised were he back again ; they are sur
prised to find how much they loved him:
friends' long to have the opportunity, now
lost, to show their love. Why did I not
prize him more? why did I not serve him
better? is the universal feeling.
LIQUID GOLD. , --One of the prettiest
sights the human eye ever rested upon
is pure gold in its liquid state. We saw
in the Branch mint, recently, a. jar con
taining several galons of liquid partially
precipitated.' The liquid is the color of
pure sherry wine,, andgyeatly magnifies
that which is precipitated in the solid
state. Looking through the , side of the
jar at the gold which has settled on the
bottom, it presented a sp`retutsr - and mag
nificence such as we never witnessed even
in the most brilliant ' sunset—an appear
ance not unlike that which one wouldim•
aging the vault of beaven would • present
if inverted and lined _with solid goldand
lighted by a summer' sun. The assayer
had his eyepeeled while iie"were examin
