The following lines were written during
the financial pressure of 1857, and the heart
of many a young wife in the land is thrill
ing now with the same passionate pain.
Have the moral courage to give up appear
ances, considering yourselves rich, if you
have love and honor left you:
FOB THEE.
BY ELIZABETH L. SAXON.
f seek for fame f< >r thee, Love,
For praise that thou may’st hear,
Fo twine the laurel round the name
That thou do’st hold so dear.
When other voices praise me
I scarcely heed the while,
I only watch, and wait to win
Thy dear approving smile.
For awhile our bark has floated
On a pleasant summer sea,
And I have smiled in gladness,
For thee, beloved, “for thee. ”
Now darkly lowers the tempest,
And our boat must breast the gale;
Stand with strong arms at the helm,
“ There is no such word as fail.”
If wealth he lost, and friends depart,
We are rich in health and youth ;
Turn thou to me in faith, dear heart,
'1 rusting in love and truth.
VS hat tho’ out home be low and poor ?
Love stays our smiling guest,
Peace waits a vassal at our door,
At honor’s high behest.
’Tie true, I bear no beauty now,
On my pale and altered brow—
I still retain my faithful heart,
And that must charm thee now.
I have a woman’s feeble arm,
But my heart is strong to dare,
And I’ve a woman’s trusting faith,
That gaineth strength from prayer.
The morning breaketh dimly',
There’s no sunshine on our sky;
The clouds are dark with tempest,
Harsh winds go shrieking, by •
But see! the evening bringeth
Sunshine ’midst the rain,
So shall the promised bow of hope
Shine out for us again !

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Joint becognition of Cuban independence
'l'he Savannah Morning News, of Nov.
18th, Says: “Our noon dispatches yester
day, though they give us no additional
news from the scene of the massacre in
Cuba, nor any furtbei intimations of the
action contemplated by the United States
government, nevertheless have an impor
tant bearing on the Cu ! an question. The
London Tim's and the Telegraph, both
leading organa of English opinirm, are tin
rcssrved in the declaration of then- convic
tions as to the right and duty of the United
States government to put a stop to the
outrages and barbarities of the Cuban au
thorities, tiie 'fimes intimating that the
Unit.-d States Would be justifiable In an
imhigdtiba in retaliation for the nwsacye
of the Virginius prisoners.
“The doctrine of the British government
and press is, that it is the duty of all gov
ernments to protect the honor of its flag
and the lives of its citizens, and it is in
the maintenance end enforcement of this
privilege and duty of sovereignty that the
press of that country have looked to this
government to take prompt and effective
measures of retaliation f> r the insult to its
R,1( I the barbarous, cold blooded mur
der of its citizens taken on the Vlrgfblua,
“ What the British government and press
recognize as th ‘right and duty of the
American government in the premises, the
British government has ever claimed and
exercised ns its own just prerogative and
duty. It is f r this reason that we regard
the dispatches in another column as having
an important liearingon the Cuban question.
By them it will be seen that official con
tlrma'ion has b *en revived at Washington
of the execution of fifty-seven of the Vir
gimus prisoners on thv 12th iml., of whom
seventeen were Bilish subjects. These
facts place the two government on the
same tooting as regards their rights and
duty to punish the outrage which has re
volted the civilized world. If the United
Elates would be justifiable in resorting to
measures of retaliation, if it is the sovereign
duty of this govermm ut to resort to the
proper measures to prevent the repetition
of such revolting enormities, it is equally
Uu? right and duty of t fie British govern
ment to do so.
“ Let, then, the United States and Eng
land, foremost among the clvilizeed gov
ernments ot the world, mute in a prompt
recognition of the independence of Cu >a,
a* the most just, expedient and effective
means, not only of solving the perplexing
problem of Spanish it lationa, but of put
ting an end to the bloody conflict so long
waged bet ween an oppressed ]M»ople and a
tyranical and cruel Spanish carpet-bag
goyvrnnvut.
“A joint recognition of the independence
of the Cuban people by the British and
United States g n rmuenta wouM carry
with it au trrwdstiUe movable power and
influence. It would disarm all jealousies,
it woukl command tlw resjH’Cl of other
government.-, and would be a just rebuke
to the Insolence aind revolting barbaityof
the Uubau bui dm
“Such a recognition would put a speedy
eml to the bloody strife which h«s so long
disgraced hmuamly in the Qtuxm of Un
Antilles. '*

Co-Education.
We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association ; they meet
only in the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during tha
suspension of regulations pertaining thereto, 'their association to this extent makes
them more attentive to pt rsonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of honor, for they dread the opinion of girls who scoff at meanness
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes them
more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and intellectually'

Unsolicited. Compliments.
From Atlanta Constitution, March 11, ’73.
Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one ot
the leading educators of the State, and
the High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions,
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
Tins is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. V incent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air, goad water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From the Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
ar and experienced teacher.
From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to our people that no let
ter school can be had than this. Here
they get sound practical teaching, and
will be by the student thoroughly learned.
