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 ! [N. O. Picayune. 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' Cliapel Tioom Talks. The Literary Addresses mentioned above and “Chapel Room Talks” delivered each week by the Principal, will be published in the Norcross Advance— the adopted organ of the Institution. 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. JAMES TJ.
