The calmness of thie noontide hour, The shadow of this wood, The fragran-e f eecb wilding flower, Are marvelously good; O. here crazed spirits breathe the balm Of nature's solitude. It is a moet deiiciou* calm That resteth everywhere The holiness of soul-ruiig psalm, Of felt but voiceless prayer! W.th hearts too full to speak their blue God s creatures silent are. They silent are ; but not the lees In this most tranquil hour Of deep, unbroken dreaminess They own that love and power Winch, like the softest sunshine, rests On every leaf and flower. f William Motherwell. THE MONO OF THE PRODIGALS. "Princes! and you. most valorous, Nobles and barons of all degrees ! Hearken awhile to the prayer of us— Beggars that come from over the seas! Nothing we ask of gold or fees : Harry us not with the hounds, we pray; Ho—for the surcote's hem we seize— Give us—allgive us but Yesterday! ” "Dames meet delicate, amorous ! Damosels blithe as the belted bees 1 Hearken awhile to the prayer of us— Beggars that come from over the seas! • Nothing we ask of the things that please; Weary are we, and worn and gray : Lo—for we clutch and we clasp your knees, Give us—ah' give us but Yesterday.” "Damosels—dames, be piteous ! ” (But the dames rode fast by the roadway trees.) "Hear ns, O knights, magnanimous!” (But the knights pricked on in their pano plies.) Nothing they got or of hope or ease. But only to beat on the breast and say : '■Life'we drank to the dregs aud lees : Give us —ah ! give us but Yesterday! ” Envoy. Youth, take heed to the prayer of these!

TIIE ITIAHTITY OF COSSACK WOMEN. Some of Them Unfaithful to Their Marriage Vows—How the Past Is Obliterated by the OllcuiU'd Husband. Those Cossacks have some very cari ous customs. They are all compara tively young men, and nearly all married, of course to young wives. It often hap pens, as in the present instance, that they are away from home during a war for ono or even three or four years, aud the natural result is that many of the wives left behind do not prove to be Liusretias. The Cossacks are quite aware of this, and many of them, upon start ing home, buy a white scarf or handker chief, whioli they take with them. Upon entering their villages, the whole popu lation—women, gins, old men, and chil dren —oome out to meet them, includ ing, of oonrse, the wives of the return ing wanderers. Now, thoseof tira wives who have been unfaithful to their lords, of which there is usually a considerable sprinkling, go forward to their husbands, kneel down before them in the road, put their faces in the dust, and plaoe their husband's foot up oil their necks. This is a confession of the guiit, and at die same time a prayer for forgiveuoßs. If the husband then covers his wife's head with the white scarf, it means that he forgives her, asks no questions, and obliterates the past, Iu this case no one bus a right ever to reproach the wife with her inconsistency, and if any oue should be rash enongh to do so he would have to *x>ant with the husband, who is the protector of his wife’s honor. If, on the eontxary, the white handker chief is not produced, the woman re turns straight to her father’s house without agaiu euteriug her husband's dwelling, auil a divorce is pronounced. .Although there is generally a oonside obie sprinkling of women who come for ward fo kneel down and put their faces su the dost, it rarely happens that they are not forgiven. Avery tragical case, however, is {dated in which the reverse took place A returning Cossack was informed by a malicicma neighbor before be reached his home that hh> wife had Wu unfaithful, without waiting to see whether the guilty woman w.Qfild come forward aud confess her sins. The comrades of the Cossack per ceived that fee had all of a snd deu taken to dii.nk and dissipation, although he was not g man given to these vices. When he reached his vil lage his wife, as he feared, caoxo co ward, knelt down, a4 put her face in ! the dust at his feet. The spectators saw Ihiai look at her as she iay in the dusi for a long time. Two or three twee he put his hand in his breast for the white handkerchief, as if he were going to cover the repentaut woman's bead—two or three times the movement was re strained. Finally, as if driven by a sudden impulse, he all M once drew hi* shashka, aud with one stroke severed her head from her body. The punish ment for the crime was two months’ im prisonment, while the malicious neigh bor who had taken the trouble to inform him beforehand of his wife’s miscon duct, was sentenced to Siberia for three years.

He looked well and hearty, and talked freely and cheer fully with all. He said, in answer to questions, that he thought the prospects of the Democratic party extremely bril liant. In regard to his case, he had nothing more to say beyond that con tained in his Manhattan Club speech— that it was a great wrong inflicted on the people. He felt snre these things weald be righted in the fatare. He said that he would certainly return in October from his tour.

Per Diem Mettled at Last. The Finance Committee here reported on that very important subject which Las absorbed so much of the time of the Convention, and whioli had been sent to to them for solution—the per diem and mileage of delegates. The preamble to the resolution reported asserts that the Convention has the power to control ab solutely its own finances and is not. bound by the appropriation made by Legislature for its support. The hope is expressed, however, that the amount of the legislative appropriation (twenty five thousand dollars) will not be ex ceeded. The report fixes the per diem of the President at seven dollars per day, of the members, door-keeper and messenger at four dollars per day, and with mileage for all at the rate of ten cents for each mile traveled in coming to and returning from the capital. Mr. Simmons (T. J.), of the Twenty second District, Chairman of the Com mittee, moved to take up the report just read. Adopted. Mr. Dismuke (F. D.), of the Twenty sixth District, moved to amend the reso lution by inserting five dollars in lieu of four dollars as the per diem of mempers and attaches. Lost by a vote of eighty two ayes to ninety-seven nays. Mr. Tift (Nelson), of tbe Tenth Dis trict, moved to ameud by paying the Secretary of the Convention a per diem of six dollars and his assistants a per diem of four dollars. Mr. Robertson (J. W.), of the Thirty fifth District, and a member of the com mittee, statod that the committee had left out any provision of this character until they could see what clerical work was done. Mr. Davis (John A.), of the Tenth District,, said that while the resolution fixed the maximum per diem of the Sec retaries it did not fix the minimum, and the Convention should determine it now. Mr. Guerrard (Jno. M.), of the First District, moved to refer this matter back to the Finance Committee. Mr. Simmons (T. J,), of the Twenty second Distriot, said fie thought thp Fi nance Committee had more important matters to consider than this, and tbe Convention had as well settle the per diem question now as later. A motion to lay the report of the com mittee on the table was made and lost. Mr. Tift’s amendment was pnt and lost. Mr. Flewellyn (E. A.), of the Twenty fifth District, moved to amend by mak ing the mileage of officers nnd m 6130 ) 561,8 five cents instead-of ten cents. Lost,. Mr. Warren (J. L ), of the First Dis trict, called for the previous question, and moved the adoption of the report of the committee, The call was sustained and the report adopted. The First Taste. Mr. Gartrell (L. J.), of the Thirty fifth District, offered a resolution that the State Treasurer advance the sum of twenty-five dollars to each delegate and one hundred dollars to the Secretary. Adopted. The Convention tjjen adjourned. THE OF TJfE CONVENTION YESTERDAY. More Pei* Diem—New Committee* Appointed —Tlieir Composition—Plenty of Additional Change* Proposed— I The Public Debt—Tlie Capital—The First Gun Fired—General Woflord and tlie Voters—Judge Wright and the Currency—Some of the Committees Ready to Report. .July —TJje Constitutional Convention met this morning in the Capitol, at half-past eight o’olook, the President, Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, in the Chair. After prayer the journal of yesterday’s session was read. The Wearisome Per Diem. Mr. Dismuke (F. D.), of the Twenty sixth District, nioyej (q so much of the journal as fejatej tp the action of the Convention yesterday in adopting the report of the Finance Com mittee fixing the compensation of the delegates at four dollars per diem and ten cents mileage. Mr. Dismuke said if. the Convention intended, as it seemed probable, to fix the pay of members of the General Assembly .at five dollars per diem and five cents mileage, why not make the pay of delegates to the Con vention the same. A little figuring would show that five dollars and five cents mileage was really less than the rate established yesterday—four dollars and ten coups mijoage. Mr. Buss (Nathan'), of the Forty second District, moved to make the. mileage of delegates to the Convention five cents per mile instead of ten cents. Mr. Twitty (J. B.), of the Eighth Dis trict, favored reconsideration. He said he believed rnqsj of Jim members of the Convention were poor mefij dependent upon their owp exertions for a living, and he though j tfiey were justly enti tled to five dollars (fiefy for tfieir services. Mr. Seward (J. L.), of the Seventh District, raised the point of order that Mr. Dismuke having voted yesterday in the affirmauve ~ tha the resolution, he could not now make a motion to reconsider. The President ruled that the point of order was not well taken. Mr. Flewellyn (E. A.), of the Twenty eighth District, moved to amend the resolution by striking out “ten cents mileage” and inserting in lieu thereof “actual traveling expenses, provided the same shall not exceed tei* cents per mile, and provided fnrthef that no mileage shall be claimed by or allowed to delegates who have received free passes on railways.” After some further discussion the mo tion to reconsider was laid on tha table, Mr. Toombs (Robert), of the Twenty ninth District, Chairman of the Com mittee on Final Revision, asked the Convention for authority to employ 8 clerk. He said the oommittee had to revise the work ol thirteen other com mittees, and really needed clerical as sistance. The request was granted. New Committee. Appointed.

Re ferred nnder the rales. A Debate on the Capital. Mr. Wright (A. R.), of the Forty second District, offered a resolution that the Committee on the Location of the Capital of the State, this day appointed, report, as other committees, to the Com mittee on Revision, Mr. Forman (F. C.j, of the Twentieth District, opposed the motion. It was said that we wished to make the loca tion of the oapital of the State a ques tion to be (determined outside of the adoption of- the Constitution. If this was the ease why was it that gentlemen desired to refer the matter to one of the most important of the constitutional committees ? He thought it should be brought directly before the Convention. Mr. Barrow (Pope), of the Twenty seventh District, thought the Conven tion would readily see why the Commit- tee on Final Revision should consider this matter. The object of the commit tee is to prune excresences from the re ports of other committees, and make their work symmetrical. As the other committees worked independently of each other it was but right that every thing should be referred to the Commit tee on Final Revision, where all had representation, the capital question in cluded. Mr. Pierce (Geo. F., Jr.), of the Twentieth District, raised the point of order that as the special committee on the capital had been ordered to report to the Convention, this action could only be changed by a motion to recon sider, and this motion could not be made now, as previous notice had ne t been given in accordance with the rules. Mr. Barrow : ** But the very reference of the question to a special committee was outside of the rules, because the Committee on Final Revision should never have been deprived of the consid eration of this matter.” Mr. Pierce oalled for the rnling of the President on his point of order. The President decided that the point of order was not well taken. The Conventian may change the direction of matters sent to the commit tees themselves. It was something en tirely within the control of the Conven tion. Mr. Barrow said that the capital ques tion was one of geographical expe diency, and bb the Committee on Final Revision was evenly distributed geo graphically,it was proper that it should consider this subject. Mr. Pierce, in the absence of Mr. Lewis (M. W.), of the Nineteenth Dis trict, the mover of the resolution under which the Capital Cftmmittee was ap pointed, moved to table the resolution for the preseut, and the motion was car ried. The call of the Districts was re sumed. Politicnl Straws. By Mr. Wofford (W. TANARUS.), of the Forty second Distriot : Atf ordinance declar ing that the General Assembly shall pro tect the rights and political opinions of all the citizens of the State. Referred under the rules. Mr. Wright (A. R), of the Forty second District, offered a resolution on the subject of the currency. It asks if laborers are a distinct olass from the bondholders, or are in servitude to them. The changes being made in the finances are depriving the laboring classes of a good currency. All the efforts made to take up legal tenders by foroing gold on the National Government at high prices is a fraud on the part of the bondhold ers perpetrated to make money dear. It is the duty df the Couventiou to con sider this terrible monopoly. C'oßdition of Uiisiiiess. Mr. Lawton (A. R.), of the First Dis trict, moved that hereafter the call of the Districts he suspended, not exclud ing, however, the introduction of new matter. Mr. Reese (Augustus), of the Tweuty eighth District, moved that the Conven tion ad journ until Friday in order to give the committees time to work. Mr. Toombs (Robert), of the Twenty ninth District, said that, some of the committees were ready even now to re port. Mr. Pierce (Geo. F., Jr.), of the Twentieth District, moved as a substi tute that the Convention adjourn until to morrow, at half-past eight o’clock. The substitute was adopted aud the Convention adjourned. Atlanta Scared—An Old Oiler Which Had Been Forgotten Repealed. The City Council held a meeting this afternoon and unanimously agreed to donate the City Hall Park to the State, aud offered-to build as fine a Capitol as the State will prescribe if the Conven tion will retain the capital in Atlanta, the State turning over the Opera House to the city. The question will come be fore the Convention to-morrow. The Final Committee on Revision will report on the Election Franchise and the Militia in the morning. Hilton and the (*raud Union. New York, July 18. — Relative to the rumored rescinding of the order for the exclusion of Hebrews from the Grand Union Hotel, in Saratoga, Judge Hilton said he knew nothing of the matter until he saw it in the papers this morning, aud said that his orders bearing on that question remained unchanged. He added, with much force, “ I am deter mined they shall remain so, I have no intention of altering theni.” -iiM.i i The Fr.nklin Register cautions the public against Dr. W. M.
