! Hiram' was hardly expecting so runcH
earnestness, and was for a moment puzzled
with the surprise. At length he answered,
“Indeed yon hare the foundation for a
very pretty romance, and quite a bit of fan
ciful philosophy you have woven *nto it.”
•‘And why is it,” she asked, replacing
her hand in bis. “that all my fancies carry
me back to the past, aud all my phil
osophies despise the sordid phases of hu
man character.” ■
“Indeed l do not know, unless ithein the
purity of the ages gone —refined and cthc-
iralizod as it is by the unfailing alchemy of
time, you unconsciously find a happy con
geniality with your own pure thoughts,
Viola;” and unknowingly to himself, aud
without meaning it at all, Hirau’s heart
rose up to his lips, and he stooped to still
its fluttered beatiugs upon the quivering
ones of the lovely girl. “There now,” we
must not be foolish,” he said, as he raised
his head with an embarrassed recollection.
But the thought came too lute, and they had
been rather foolish—or, at least so ibought
Miss Debby Seymore, who with her ungain
ly, but inseperable escort, Major Thomp
son, had, unobserved, appealed upon the
bluff above them, and with a>l the eager
ness of a peak-uosed gossip, canght in, not
the words, not the motive of Hiram, hut
the scandalous act itself, the horrid fact of
a tall, handsome man, stooping to k<ss the
uarcstraining lips of a very pretty girl.—
Such a feather Miss Debby had not plum
ed in her cap for many a day—such a de
licious little nest egg for scandal had not
been thrown iu’o her warm bosom for grat
uitous incubation since before never so iong
a time, and as she cherished it there Miss
Debby was happy—only that a slight shade
of envy crept into her heart as she caught
the handsome face of Hiram, and her own
rather parched lips spasmodically puckered
for a taste of the nectar she fancied she
could sec still dropping upon the creamy
ones of Vicla. Hugging her treasure, as
one hugs a precious jewel, close, closo to
her sacred heart, Miss Debby and her in
separable shadow Major Thompson, with
drew as stealthily as she appeared, and Hi
ram and Viola knew naught of her pres
ence.
“There now, we must not be foolish,”
and Hiram raised his head with an embar
rassed recollection. But Hiram saw not
Miss Debby as she stole away, as a serpent
steals away from the nest, it has robbed:
Viola looked up with a slightly troubled
expression.
“No,” site said, with a fierio comical
shake of the h< ad, “I suppose that we are
getting too large now for such foolishness
It all comes of being a lady instead of a
little girl,” she added, thoughtfully, and
then with a sudden energy she said, “I wish
that I could alway remain a little girl,
don’t you, Hiram ?” Hiram was quite
himself again, and smiled as he answered.
“Such a happy girlhood as was yours,
Viola, were indeed worth lasting alway;but
I hope that your woman life will be as hap
py, for I know, Viola that your woman
heart will over remain as pure and bright
as was your childhood’s.”
“My thoughts and affections are still
childish,” Viola answered. “I can appre
ciate no difference iu my feeling, and this
is the trouble,” she added reflectively, “I
am still a fibril in thought, and people ex
pect me to say and act like a woman.”
“Never mind what people say,” replied
Hiram; “only remain true to your girlish
instincts, and they will not betray you. Hut
see the sun is almost gone—we will have a
fast ride to get home before dark.”
“And we hav’nt had time to go through
the old mill,” said Viola, with a disappoin
ted tone. “I wanted to run all over it
again with you before you went away. Oh,
there it is again—went away, jost as if you
had any business to go away at all,” and
the child-woman was almost ready to cry.
“Never mind to-day—we can eome some
other evening before I go,” Said Hiram in
his most soothing tone, “for I too want to
rummage through itscreaking recesses once
again."
“YeB, and we will come earlier th m wo
did to-day, and we will bring our tackle
and catch some fish,” added Viola, with a
musical prattle.
“Certainly," ■ replied Hiram,” and now
then let me help you to mount,” and with
an easy strength, he lifted Viola into the
saddle, aad as quickiy mounted himself—
They recrossed the ford, and briskly spur
ring on, they retraced the homeward read
in silence.
There is nothing more exhiliaratiog than
a gallop through the bright country. The
glad lungs breathing the fresh air, and ev
ery nerve tingling with the easy motion;
and nowhere does the beauty of woman
show to greater advantage than when
mounted upon a proud and graceful animal.
The beauty of Viola was almost fairy like
as she so elegantly rode her splendid mare.
Their pace had increased into a rapid can
ter, when a sudden turn in ti e road
brought them almost upon a phaeton that
was driving rapidly towards them. Both
parties abruptly drew up, and beyond the
unpleasant embarrassment, no inconven
ience was doue
Hiram recognized and saluted Mrs. Eu-
stacc and Emma as they passed.
An unconscious flush crimsoned the check
ot Emma, as Mrs. Eustace said :
“What a handsome couple—Viola is re
ally beautiful—I never before saw such a
glowing face—the heart that lights it must
he very joyous.”
“Yes, she ought surely to be joyous and
happy,” answered Emma, hardly conscious
of what she said.
“And she has grown so rapidly,” resum
ed Mrs. Eustace— ‘she is quite a grown up
woman, and Hiram is such a fine looking
cavalier. See Emma, how gracefully they
gailop through tho lane—a pleasant pic
ture, is it Dot,” and Mrs. Eustace proudly
pointed at the pair as thoy swept through
the lane that stretched before them.
Emma raised herself from hep'seat and
turned to look, aud as she canght their fast
receeding figures, undulating in all the
graces of. equestrian motion, she too ex
claimed, “a pleasant picture,” and then af
ter a moment she added, “Let ns return
home.”
“John,” ^commanded Mrs. Eustace,
addressing the driver—“turn your team
and drive us home.”
The .phaeton was turned, and for a few
moments the ladie3 were driven in silence;
at length Mrs. Eustace said :
“What a strange fancy it was in Mr.
Muggleton to adopt Hiram Lavender’s ic-
tcrest, as he did.”
“It was certainly very Lind in him to do
so,” answered Emma.
Yes it was indeed a noble generosity,”
replied the mother; “And I am sure that it
is one that will bring its own rich reward.”
Emma looked np with an expression of cu
riosity.
••How ?” she asked.
-Oh, that Hiram will some day be able
to repay him for all his trouble,” answered
Mrs. Eustace.
Somehow it was; but Emma could not
know, the thought for the first time, crept
in her soul, and strangely disquieted it,
that Hiram was laboring under a debt of
material gratitude to Mr. Muggleton, the
father of Viola. Her heart felt humiliated
at the idea of Hiram Laven 'er being un
der material gratitude to any one, nod yet
niram Lavender was nothing to her.
“I thought,” she replied with an impa
tient pique, “that Hiram had already re
paid him, by his services and alteatiuu to
Mr. Muggleton’s business.”
“Oh, as tor that, perhaps he has,” an
swered Mrs. Eustace, “but nothing but
gratitude evinced by extraordinary ser
vices in after years, can ever repay Mr.
Muggleton for his kind intentions
“By extraordinary servioas you mean
marrying his silly daughter ?” and all the
energy of Emma’s pride and scorn rose np
in her soul
“No, Emma,” softly answired her moth
cr, -‘I do not mean that. I could not in
suit Mr Muggleton with such a design, nor
could I do Hiram tho injustice to suppose
that he would prostitute his affections to
such a baseness. Viola is a girl whose
promises of womanly worth will fit her for
the heart of auy man, and if ever Hnam
Lavender marries her, it will be for her own
sw>ets< lf alone, and not to discharge any
debt of gratitude he may owe her father
“Hiram Lavender has a soul high above
such a giddy headed girl as Viola Mugglc-
ton, ” answered Emma, with a strangely de
fiant energy.
“Emma, you wrong yourself, and you
wrong Viola—she is a sweet girl, and gen
tie, but she is i either silly nor giddy; and
proud as Hiram will ever become, she will
be all that he could wisn her to he.”
“Well, 1 am sure that I do not care—she
is nothing to me, nor he either,” and Em
ma could have crie 1 with vexation—“Let
him marry her, aud all the rest of the Mug
gletous, for what I care,” and Emma raised
her queenly head to its proudes*. height,
while her flashing eyes told of a dangerous
passion within.
The mother’s gentle heart was shocked,
she knew the little pe’tishness of her
daughter’s nature, and with a mother’s
fondness, could excuse it, but this sudden
vehemence told that a deeper depth than
usual had been stirred. Her voice was
softly lowered, as she replied,
“Emma, my chil-1, this passion is unwor
thy of yon. Hiram does not deserve this
—neither does Viola. We ought not to
thus associate their names, for aught we
khow they themselves never thought of
marrying each other.
Emma felt the rebuke—the gentle tones
of her mo! her went straight to her heart,
and like the soothing unction upon an in
flamed wound, it softened its fierce anger,
and she became at once her better, and own
true self again.
“Yes it is wrong, mother—I am foolish,
please forgive me,” and 'he subdued beauty
leaned herself forward aud hid her face in
her mother’s lap, while a burst of weepinj
shook her frame.
Mrs. Eustace teudcrly stroked the rich
t-esses that floated back from her forehead,
and with a mother’s yearning anxiety, mur
mured half to herself and half aloud, “1
do not under-tand—I do not uudei stand.’
Neither could Emma understand, nor
could you, gentle' reader, have understood
unless, like ler’s the soul-chords of your
being bad been thrumbed by the monitions
of the unseen, electrical, inexplicable then,
but all dtliciously clear bye and bye.
“There now, darling, you did not mean it.
We all forget sonetimei,” soothingly en
couraged the mother; and gently raising
the drooped head of Emma, she transferred
her own seat from the front to one by the
side of her daughter.
Like the gladness of a May morning, all
the brighter from a passing shower, the
irradiant face of Emma shoue the brighter
from its flood of pearly tears, and her heart,
too, lightened fiom under its ucdefinablc
pressure,
“Yes, mother, the best of all are to be
judged with charity, and I, passionate, im
pulsive I, have more need of it thao all oth
ers." .
“We do indeed need to be judged kind
ly,” replied her mother “and yet, after all,
it is not so much the judgment of others
as it is the approval of our own consciences
that we should endeavor to conciliate.”
Emma was silent for a moment, ami then
replied, softly stealing her arm around her
mother’s neck—
“And yet, mother, when you smile not,
my conscience tells me I have sinned.”
This strong faith in the rightness of her
mother’s love marked the noblest trait of
Emma’s character.
Mrs. Eustace realized the consciousness
of this faith, aud a mothcr’s'kiss was all
the answer she returned. The drive was
concluded in silence, the bright lights from
the windows welcoming them home.
Bnt the ride of Viola and Hiram was
not a silent one, but filled with happy
voices and merry laujhter; and it was get
ting dusk when they drew up before the
high porch of Stella-Aiden—the lather
overstrained fanciful name of the rather
prosaic Muggletou home. Mrs. Middleton
Muegleton’s fond motherly eyes were the
Grst to catch their coming, and she saluted
them with a glad relief.
“Why, children, you have stayed so long!
I have been so ureasy about yon; and your
papa, Viola, is now getting ready to start
after you.”
“Indeed we did’nt intend to be so late.
We went to tne old mill, and”—
“And were so busily playing in the water
that yon forgot coming home," interrupted
the kindly voice of Mr. Middleton Muggle
tou, who had just appeared, leading his
horse, ready to start npon the bant of the
truauts. 1 That's it was it not, Hiram.”
“Yes, l suppose that was it," anwered
Il’rarn, slightly coloring, and then he added:
“Too late we stayed, forgive the crime,
Unheeded flew the hours;
How noislcss fails tho feet of time,
That only treads on flowers.
■ And who with clear account can mark
The ebbing of his glass.
When all its sands are diamond sparks
That duzzle as they piss."
The sentiment touched a musical chord
iu Mr. Middleton Muggleton’s heart, and
he as gallantly answered —
“Yes, I forgive you, only I fear that you
were so dazzled with the sparks that yon
let them all slip without catching a single
diamond.’’
“Only one,” rogueishly answered Hirac ,
“and Viola would hardly let me have that."
“Hush, Hiram,” aDd the face of the
-timid girl blushed crimson, and with a pet
tish toss of her pretty head she sprang from
her saddle, aud ran into the house.
Mr. Middleton Muggleton chuckled such
a happy chuckle, as only a proud father
can chuckle, and then he answered, “Well,
get down, after your ride you want some
s^per.”
“No, Mother is alone. I most go on.”
“Mrs. Lavender is here,” answered Mr.
Middleton Muggle'on with a pleased assur
ance—as much as to say “that settles it,”—
“and Lillian is here, too; came this even
ing,” he added as if snddenly recollecting it.
And that did settle it, and without fur
ther command Hiram dismounted, and
leading his own and Viola’s marc he walked
with bis kind and fatherly friend to the
stable. Jake, a black well-fed and happy
negro,—happy then—well fed then—only
a hoslier then—but scurvy, ill-fed, half clad,
bnt a man and brother now—relieved them
of the horses, and they returned to the house
jnst in time for supper—a delicious, hi spit-
able southern supper.
And not in the whole prond domain of
fashion could a more elegant-, happy or re
fined party have been found, than that one
gathered around tic bountiful board of
Mr. Middleton Muggleton.
Viola had recovered from the confusion
of Hiram’s rogueish sally, and was radiant
from the health-inspiring gallop.
Lillian, too, was looking unusually bright
and happy, and wbat with a rather awk
ward affect ition of matronly airs, and the
careless “race of maidenly abandon, she
was a joy iu the household,—sneh a joy as
the young bride of n month brings back to
the roof-'rce upon her second visit.
There is nothing like the good old south
ern cheer to loosen the better springs of
the sonl, and set it- 1 happier thoug ts allow
ing. The bri ht light of the candles blar
ing steadily as so many stars from their
well burnished candlesticks, thiows such
a cheerful glow over the scene and fills the
room with a glory undimmed by the grand
est sunburst of the mirrored palace. Such
lights m-iy he railed the home-lights of the
anal; * -vl - li i-u heart is-o cold as not to
be w>ved by its radiarce as it bursts from
tho darkness of the years that are gone,
and lights oar sonlsback to the scenes that
wo loved.
‘•Hiram, - they tell uc yon are goiug
away?” shddcaly interrupted Lillian as she
turned to Hiram.
“Yes but not for aye," answered Iliram.
“Well, that 18 too bad,” continued Lil
lian, “how can we get along without you."
“Oh, yon can get along very well, Lilly
but wliat will ire do,” spoke up Viola.
“Yon can do as 1 do,’’ returned Lillian.
“Yes, bjt you have Walter and we liavr
only Hiram," argued Viut> wiLh an in
jared air.
“And what will I do?”asked Hiram with
mock gravity.
“Oh yon will fall in love with some Yan
kee girl and forget all about us,” replied
Lillian.
“No, he will not, though. Hiram is too
true a Southron to be caught by the cold
icy eyes of a Northern irl,” patriotically
answered Mrs. Middleton Muggleton
“You forget, my love, that the cold win
tery stars shine the brightest,’ warniugly
replied Mr. Middleton Mnggletou.
“Oh it is because of the air through
which they si ine and n t of their own
brightness,” philosophically responded the
matron. “Northern stars are no bright
er than Southern, it is only that the far off
Northern skies arejso cold.”
“And be Northern eye; ever so bright
thoy cannot cclip-e the brightness of those
that already light up my Southern heart,’
interposed Iliram.
“That is cardid, certainly, and I admire
your pat iotLm Hiram, not to lay anything
of your taste,” answered Mr. Middleton
Muggleton.
‘fSo your heart is already lighted,'
laughingly asked Lillian, “and pray whose
eyes flashed the electric spark.”
Hiram blushed in confusion os he stam
mered ont.
“Oh every body’s. Your own, Lillian arc
bright enough to recall me to my southern
allegiance, wete l inclined to wander aft 'r
stranger ones.”
“You forget sir”—with mock gravity—
“that mine are playing satellites to a liege
planet.”
‘•True, bnt they can still serve to remind
me that there are no eyes so bright as the
eyes of a Southern Oman.”
“And that bright as mine arc, you know
of others still brighter, is not that what yon
mean?” playfully continued Lillian.
Iliram looked at her for an iastant and
then said rather gravely:
“It would be hard to find them.”
“Why Hiram., interrupted Mrs Laven
der “what an ungallaut boy you are, Viola
I would not look at him another single
time.”
“Oh I don’t care for Hiram,” gleefully
responded Viola. “I know he thinks my
eyes are like a frog's.”
“Well I know who does not think your
eyes are like a frogs Viola,” answered Mr-.
Lavender.
“Who” aud before she had thought Vio
la was betrayed into the perplexed query.
“Who: tbats telling.” playfully answered
Mrs. Lavender.
“Oh w-11,” responded Viola, “I do uot
care; I know whose eyes Iliram does think
bright.”
It was Hiram’s turn to look puzzled,
but he soon rallied and said:
“I can spare you the trouble of telling
look np Viola; there mother see, was Gaelic
rcullura ever more bright?”
Never.” admiringly answered Mrs Lav
ender as Viola artlessly looked up at Hi
ram’s sudden cull, and she cangl t the
sparkling soul-light that beamed so sweetly
from their loving depths.
The long silken lashes drooped as sud
denly, and Viola stammered:
Now that is a pretty way yon have to
relute your mother’s charge of ungalantry.
You know yon do not mean it sir, does he
Lilly?’’
Lillian thus appealed to, tcasingly answor-
ed:
Of course he means it Viola, it was
your eyes he was thinking about when
he was praising mine.”
“You are all against me, and l intend to
leavo you.’—’ and the blushing girl arose
from the table aod ran to the parlor, where
the company soon followed.
After the usual evening gossip so com
mon then as now, there as well as here, mu
sic was suggested.
“Now all hands must join” said Lillian
with a gleefrl voice. “Viola at the piano,
Papa with his flute, Hiram with his fiddle,
and I with my harp; yes, my dear old harp,
how I miss you np at Beachen-Side,” she
added carelessly running her fingers over her
instrument.
A few exquisite pieces were played when
Mr. Middleton Muggleton turning to Mrs.
Lavender galla -tly said:
“Come Mrs. Lavender, take Viola’s
place at the piano, and yon my love,” turn-
to Mrs. Middleton Muggleton, “relieve
Lilly, and we will give the young folks
something of the fire of oar younger days.”
The suggestion was a pleasant one, and
readily acquiessed in, and as the young
folks caught in the fire of their parent’s
younger days, they stood perfectly enthus
ed with its delicious harmony,
I would not mind getting old if I could
be as pretty as mama,” said Viola in a flush
of fillial admiration.
These were simple, and in good sooth
childish words, spoken in a sweet earnest-
ne-.«, but simple and childish words some
times sink deep, deep in the heart
Hiram looked at her with a pleased ex
pression—he too had been thinking of the
time when he wonld be old, and was won
dering if he then wonld be as grand, as
good and as pleasant, as the fine old gentle
man whose genial soul was flowing out in
such delicious strains. 'What a sweet picture
was that; yontb happily contemplating and
almost envying the sweet enjoyment ot the
aged; the agod wafted back npon the melo
dy of its music to the golden days of yoath.
It was too rare, too perfect, too sacred to
be intruded npon, and we draw the cur
tain.
The Rome Courier
FRIDAY MORNING. June 2.
W. L. Psextice.—We publish this morn
ing the card of the friends of this gentleman
in reply to the queries propounded in our last
by “Voter.” So mnch of the card as refers
to Jlaj. Prentice’s Alabama antecedents, it
affords us si pleasure to corroborate. We on
ly regret that such a good Democrat as he has
heretofore been, should have seen proper to
voluntarily array himself against the party,
by running against the nominee. A man of
his practical sense knows that it is by con
vention alone that party organizations can be
maintained.
If we recollect aright the first vote wo ev
er cast was for W. L. Prentice, the regular- Brin go Bragh—Not written by T. B. Al-
Deino;ratio nominee, for Representative, in
Shelby county, Alabama. For the sake of
that olden time, we would have been glad to
have him help us now to uphold the Demo
cratic party by supporting its regular nomi
nee.
The plea of fighting a convention is a poor
one, and one that cannot he sustained—one
that no man who puts party interest above
self will ever make—one that no good and
true Democrat will ever make, nor can we
see how any Democrat can support a man
thatdoes it. Vote for Scott. He is the choice
of the Democracy, and being its choice, he is
ours.
France.—The terribe tragedy is now in
its last scene, and that scene is one of livid
horror. The setters arc running with
blood, the fury of the flau.es arc rushing
over tho fairest of human palaces and even
the women have turned devi's and are
freely applying the torch. The Versailists
are killing all prisoners, while the Com
munes, hemmed in like a scorpion, begirt by
fire arc destroying their own selves and
no such horror ever before disgraced tbe
annals of civilizaiion.
There appeared in Bullock’s advertising
organ rf this city of the 30th ult., a com
munication signed Wesley Sl-ropsbire,
which, were it admissible, we would be glad
to transfer to our columns, in order that
our readers might see to what a terrible or
deal of abuse and pcrsoual villification a
journalist is sometimes subjected for daring
to defend the rights, and repelling the slan
ders ot his fellow-citizens; but the shame
less indecency of the communication unfits
it for an apjearance in any other than a
radical repository, and we cannot disgrace
the purity of our columns by admitting it.
Those of our friend.-, however, who may
feel curious to sec to wbat a degrading
depth of scandal a man can descend, can
be satisfied by referring to the Commercial
of the 30th.

The Cotton Situation.
Liverpool, May 12, 1871.—Tho im
provement in the tone of the market du
ring the past week has been even greater
than the advance in quotations indica'e.
The improvement has been mainly duo 1st,
to moderate receipts at the American ports
and nnfavoaable reports as to the pros
pects of tbe crop jnst planted,(2) to the set
tlement ol the strike among the operatives
at Oldham, (3) to the Board of Trade returns
which indicate that the stock of American
cotton here is considerably over estimated,
(4) to the growing impression that the ship
ments this month from Bombay are likely
to be mneb smaller than in May of last
year, and (5) to a small week’s import and
improved export demand; which go to
strengthen tho impression that we are not
likely to have tbe stock ran much, if any,
above one million bales- -as was anticipated
in this or next month—and that the condi
tion of the money market will enable hol

Another Coal Pit Horror.—Another
one of those appalling casualties that
strike a chill to the heart has occurred at
the Pittstou coal shaft, Pennsylvania.
A shaft three lrandred feet deep is burn
ing, with all means of escape for the un
fortunate* miners who are woi king in it cut
off. It is unknown how many there were
in the mine, but the number is stated at
over forty. -
Tbe following which wo clip from tbe
Montgomery Advertiser dispatches is the
latest from tbe scene:
The scene about the shaft is one ot great
distress and angnisb. Two steam Are en
gines, one from Scranton and one from
Wilkesboro; are on the ground. It is
thought that no water will be thrown into
the shaft from the top. bnt we are told tbe
shaft will fill_wilh water within 24 hoars,
so that if not suffocated the poor men mnst
drown, Thero is no escape for them.
Later.—Tbe fire engines arc playing
on the ruins, which arc too hot. No one
can approach, probably not till morning.
Later.—A dog has just been sent down
the shaft of the mine and was brought up
alive, which fact encourages tho belief that
33 may yet be saved.

umes of Godey—I can repeat its every
word. I remember too, reading a criticism
npon it, or rather npon a similar poem in
which the author was charged with plagia
rism, from A’drich’s beautiful lines.
Erin go Bragh—Oh'that sort of thing is
very common. Some of the happiest
thoughts of men are stolen from others.
Old Grizzly—Yes, but iu this instance
the plagiarism was not clearly established,
bat I am troubled with the very indistinct
memory I nave of the criticism. I only
know tbit the “Death Scene” was ascribed
to Aldrich, and Phillip Aldrich 1 believe,
and I was proud ol the American author-,
ship, bnt now I find in the April number
of tho Westminister Review that the poem
i- accredited to Thomas Hood. The Re
view says : “The lines entitled “A Death
bed”—amongst- the meat touching in the
language—were written by nood on tho
death of his s.stcr Anne, and first appeared
(minus a verse) in a Glascow Univeasity
Album.”
Erin go Bragh —And wbat do yru think
about it ?
Old Grizzly—I am puzzled to know what
to think. With my indistinct remembrance
of the affair, in which its authorship was
so positively accredited to Aldrich, and the
absence of a convenient reference, (which
inconvenience, I am glad to believe, will
soon be removed, by our Library and His
torical Association,) I am at a loss for an
opinion. I only know this, that the name
of Aldrich has been endeared to tne ever
since when a little boy I read the poem, and
learned to associate it in mv mind with
the sad, sweet pathos of his lines, and now
to have this tender conviction rudely torn
by the announcement in the Westminister
that another—even though that other be
tbe no lessdearly reverenced Thomas Hood
—is a sm prise that is really painful.
Mr. O’Riley—But may not the Review
be mistaken—docs it give the date of its
Grst appearance ?
Old Grizzly—No, it only gives the poem
in full, with the preface I have just quoted
Erin go Bragh—And when did you first
sec it ?
Old Grizzly—Oh, I saw it when I was
yet a boy, but it had been published years
before I saw it. I found it in an old vol
ume of Godey’s Ladys Book, belonging to
my mother; I believe it was published somc-
vernber, between the year 1833 and 1836.
I hardly think that tbe name of Aldrich
was affixed to it in Godey, bnt a subsequent
criticism ascribed it to him, and never hav
ing seen his claims disputed, I had alway
esteemed him to be its author.
Mr. O’Riley—It looks strange that the
matter had not attracted attention before
now—was Hood atill alive when you read
the criticism.
Old Grizzly—No I think not—it was in
1850 I read the criticism, and Hood died
in 1845.
Erin go Bragh—Repeat tbe poem, and
perhaps I can recall something of it.
Old Grizzly puts himself in a moon
struck attitude and repeats :

Old Grizzly—I do not—I hope that
Hood never claimed it, and that his par

The Savannah Advertiser in speaking of
the lease of the Macon and Western rail
road by the Central says:
Tbe announcement ot the last stroke of
the Central Railroad in gaining control of
the Macon and Western road has created
much surprise among those of our citizens
not posted in regard to tho negotitions
which have for some time been pending and
yesterday the subject was one gene al dis
cussion and speculation. The contract, as
entered into, that the Central Road le tss
the Maton and Western for a term of nine
ty-aine years, guaranteeing its stockholders
ten per cent, annual dividends, and assum
ing tbe operating of the road, the organi
zation of the Macon and Westnn to be
kept under its charter. The contract will,
we learn, go into effect on the first proximo.
What the effect of this consolidation npon
the proposed air line to Atlanta will be, re
mains to be seen. The general impression
is that the movement looking to a direct
line to Atlanta from this city has serious
ly alarmed the Macon and Western people,
and driven them—as a dernier resort to es
cape the fital competition sneh a road, if
built, would inaugurate with them for the
carrying of all Western fr ights—in this
arrangement. • View it iu any lignt we may,
however, the amalgamation must be consid
ered a politic move on the part of the Cen
tral Road, and at the same time one which
will prove advantageous to aur city. Wheth
er it will prove an estoppal npon the “Air
Line Project” remains to be seen.
The Columbus Sun gives the following
real estate figures in that city:
Six thousand dollars—$4,000 cash and
$2,000 credit—have been offered and re
fused for tho hail acre lot on tho Southeast
corner of the block jnst this side or the M.

The Montgomery Advertiser says:
It is estimated that the assessments

count of Internal Revenue tax, will not ex
ceed twelve thousand dollars. Last year
it was forty three thousand. This decrease
is because no articles are now taxed ex
cept tftisky and tobacco.

The Columbus Sun gives the following
account of a fatal railroad accident which
w.-curedoo the Mobile and Montgomery
Railroad.
Tie boiler of the engine of the upward
bound passenger train on the Mobile and
Montgomery railroad exploded. Saturday
night at a late hour, Dear Greenville,. Ala.,
about forty miles from Montgomery. The
engineer and fireman were instantly killed.
The express messenger, Mr. Henry Britton
of Moo-gornery was badly injured, and sev
eral others sustained slight braises. Tbe
entire train, with the exception of the pass
enger and sleeping coach, was thrown from
the track. Miss Berta Williams, daughter
of Mrs. Charles J. Williams, of this city,
was on board the train, and wirh the other
passengers was uninjured. All were
brought to Montgomery Sunday, and the
Colcmbns passengers reached home yester
day.
P. S.—Later and more correct r.ce.uuts
say the engineer was slowly backing his'
train when (he engine, tender and express
car jumped the track and rolled down a
bank. The engineer and fireman were
scalded to death.
Our Walker County Correspondence.
McLemole's Cove, Ga.
Mu Editor—In a previous communi
cation 1 have partially described the locali
ty of the Coal and Iron io the mountains
of Chattooga and Walker counties, from
the eographical position of these mono,
tain?, the railroad from Chattanooga
Rome can be built cheaper than any other
road, for the developement of the whole
the minerals of those mountains; end also,
the agricnnltnral interests It wonld bo
great feeder to the W. A. R. R. as it con-
nects at Chattanooga, and at Rome, with
the Rome and Kingston branch..
Every man should feel interested in
developing the resources of his own State.
Georgians have been raised to believe that
cotton is King. They are not informed
the great wealth that lies dormant in these
mountains. Coal lands at present can be
bought from one to threo dollars per acre.
Yet the Pennsylvania coal lands sell at an
average of $250 per acre, and sometimes
as high as $1000 per acre. English coal
lands sell readily at $5,000 per acre. The
whole anthracite region of Pennsylvania
contains 320,000, acres, about doable the
quantity of land on Lookout mountain,
Chattooga and Walker counties. Yet the
va'ne of these anthracite lands in Penn
sylvania is estimated at $30,000,000.—
The capital invested in miniog them
$40,000,000. The value of the railroad
built to transport the coal is $70,000,000.
Of canals for the same purpose is from 40
to 50,000,00 dollnrs. Making a grand to
tal invented in tbe extraction and transpor
tation of coal alone of $230,000,000.
These figures will exhibit the vastness
the coal interest when folly developed.
A person cot familiar with thj subject
will be amazed at the length and camber
of canals and railroads : bnilt for transport
ing of coal. The total length of canals
employed in coal trade in Pennsylvania: ~
905 miles. The length of locomotive tracks,,
inclading sidings, used exclusivelyns coal
roads, is 1531 miles.
The production of coal in Pennsylvania
in 1867 was 15,000.000 tons, which reduc
ed to mechanical powers, is equal to 10,
000,000 laborers, There lies the secret of
her great wealth and power. The addition
to a people’s strength jvbo use coal in the
production o’ steam is prodigious. Ton
pounds of coal applied to the production of
mechanical powers, through the ageney of
steam, is equal to a day’s work of -a strong
man, or one and a half tons of coal to
year of manual labor.
If the coal of Lookout Mountain could
be reached by railroad, is it not reasonable
to suppose that in ten years the prodnctioi
would reach 5.000,000 tons, and one-tenth
be used mechanically it would represent
375,000 laborers.
The country that produces and coisumcs
the largest quantities of coal and iron, in
proportion to the population, is the most
prjgressiv j, the most advanced in civiliza
tion, and in individual wealth; general
prosperity and national powers. Had our
extensive coal and iron fields been devel
oped, the late war, in all probability wonll
not have occurred.
Bnt had war been inevitable, with re
sources almost illimitable, under general
and energetic developement, thc : Soutn
wonld have triumphantly established an in
