I!ow strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on !
All, brother, only I and thou
Are left of all that circle now—
The dear home faces whereupon
The fitful firelight paled and shone.
Henceforward, listene as we will,
The voices of that heart are Btill;
Look where we may the wide world o’er,
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tread the path their feet have worn,
We nt beneath their orchard trees.
We hear them like the hum of bees
And rustle of the bladed com ;
We turn the pages that they read,
Their written words we Unger o’er;
But in the snn they cast no shade,
No voice is heprd, no sign is made,
No step is on the conscious floor!
Yet love will dream, and faith will trust,
Since lie who knows our need is just,
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must!
Alas ! for him who never secs
The stars shine through the cypress trees!
Who, hopeless, lays his dead away,
Nor looks to sec the breaking dajf
Across the mournful marble play !
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
The truth to flesh and sense unknown.
That Life is ever Lord of Death,
And love can never lose its own !

Four Hundred A Year.
BY MAUDE.
“Well, 1 do declare, Lucy!
am all flustered with the news your
mother has just told me. I always
took you for a sensible girl, but if
what I hear is true, I must set you
down for a born idiot,” and dear
old Aunt Agnes fanned herself vig
orously to regain her breath.
Lucy bent her curly head lower
over her sewing and plied her
the farmereiu each county to associate
themselves and arrange to sell to Eu-
pean settlers on a credit of seven years,
without interest, farms of forty acres.
If such a plfp were adopted in all the
Southern St^T, it is believed that it
would Insure * large and steady influx
of desirable settlers. Suppose each
county in Cfeorpa bad such an assso*
ciation, with a few hundred of the
thousands oCases of land now idle for
want of ialxifpledged hr settlei
low rates on easy terms—is it not quite
certain that such inducements would
divert a portion of the tide of immi
gration that now swells towards the
great West? We notice that forty
Swedish laborers have just been landed
at Barnwell Island, South Carolina, at
the instance of a Northern company,
who have a tract of 1,500 acres; and
others are expected to arrive in a short
time. On the 29th ult a colony sailed
from Glasgow for St Augustine, Fla.,
to work a tract owned by the same
company.
Mr. Foss, a Swede, is fn Europe
getting up settlers for Jones, Jasper
and othea counties, and writes that he
has secured two hundred men and
women, and has applications for five
hundred, -if he could promise them
good homes or lands. County associa
tions are the very thing needed to co
operate with men like Mr. Foss. There
are more than a hundred planters in
Clark county who need the hundreds
who are ready to come with Mr. Foss,
and-who would give them good homes.
But Mr. Foss has no assurance of
it All that is needed is organization,
whereby land-owners can get in direct,
reliable communication with those in
Europe who wish to emigrate. The
subject is of the deepest interest to our
people^ and it is astonishing that they
remain gram and inert* deploring a
want of laborers, and trying in vain to
make money in the old way with the
labor now available.

The area of the 6tate of Georgia is
about 60,000 square miles, about 30,'
000,000 of acres, and its population
only 1,100,000—whites and blacks
600,000 whites, and 500,000 negroes.
Of these 30,000,000 acres, only about
6,000,000 are in improvement; that is
about one-fifth of the territory of the
State. We are losing, then, in our
struggle for individual and State influ
ences, four-fifths of the advantage God
has given us on this continent Un
developed as wc are, we have yet shown
great strength in the past; in onr pro
ductions and in our physical power
the late civil war. But that strength
was meagre m proportion to what wo
could have brought out, had we not
committed the mistake of being simply
an agricultural people. That is, “ mak
ers of brick without straw,” to the
Northern Egyptians. Instead of be
coming self-supporting and independ
ent, being artificers as well as formers,
and returning to our otto treasury the
sums we sent abroad for clothing, meat,
leather, and every thing else necessary
to maintain us; even such small arti
cles as clothes pins and shoe pegs. Had
we been artificers as well as formers,
our money would have remained with
and been turned over among ourselves,
making us independent of the work
shops of Europe, in place of going as
ithas done, to build foreign towns,
hotels, railroads, and weaving factories.
But there is no profit in lamenting the
past. The question before us is the
future; shall it be as it has been, or
shall we avail ourselves of the immense
resources in iron, coal, lime, slate, etc.,
and the almost unlimited water power
Providence has given us, and shall our
hills and valleys teem with flocks and
herds, the waving com and the luxuri
ant vine? If the latter, then we must
have population for the unimproved
four-fifths of territory, and one bring
ing with it intelligence and some sub
stantial wealth. We most encourage
manufacturing and the mechanical
trades. For as Alexander Hamilton,
in one of his celebrated reports, says:
“ Manufacturing establishments not
only occasion a positive augmentation
of the produce and revenue of the soci
ety, but they contribute essentially to
rendering them greater than they could
possibly be without such establish
ments." And he goes on to enumerate
the reasons therefor: “ 1st. The eleva
tion of labor. 2d. An extension of
the use of machinery. 3d. Additional
employment to classes of the commu
nity not ordinarily engaged in the bu
siness. 4th. The promoting immigra
tion from foreign countries. 5th. The
furnishing greater scope for the divers
ity of talents and dispositions, which
discriminate men from each other.—
6th. The affording a more* ample and
various field for enterprise. 7th. The
