Thro' the derk boon, watching, planning ; Waking, while the world is sleeping: Trying herd to reed ther.dd'e, All oar pillow wet with weepirg; Lo, comes en enswer, like e lullaby ; Oo to sleep, my child, leave it ell to me. O, may we ever beer that voice, When oar tired heads ere weaving All vainly at the tangled threads That cease as so much grieving; Wondering, questioning, whet shell the end be ? Qo to sleep, my child, leave it all to me. And when at last the useless strands Are dropping from onr feeble hold, Uay He weave them in a garment That never, never shall grow old ; Shotting down onr eyelids, whispering softly; Oo to sleep, my ohild, lerve it all to me. STRANGER*. Frees ■ Yeees USi’i Anlesnyk Albacs. Two streams, tbo' wide apart their eoeroe, And wider, still their early coarse, At last, if each event be right, At last are destined to unite. It matters not from whence they flow, How far divided they may go. How late they meet, how old they be, Together they wil> seek the sea. Two strangers led by seeming chance, Toward each other may advance ; For years unknowing and unknown, By different paths tney each move on. Home words at length they interchange, Tliey cease to deem each other strange, And ore the second greeting ends They are, perhaps, already friends. If one he mau, the other maid. And neither be of love afraid, These beings, once so far apart. May now draw nigh, as heart to heart. At last, the time becomes complete, When lovers, like the waters, meet, And they (ah could I say that we; Oo on united to the sea. Milner. Ga., February 14, 1875 NOVEMRKR. When thistle-blows do lightly float About the pasture height, Aud shrills the hawk a parting note. And creeps the frost at night, Then hilly ho! though 1 sing so, Aud whistle as I may, There comes again the old heart pain Through all the livelong day. In high wind creass the leafless tree And nods the fading fern ; The knolls are dun as snow-clouds be, Aud cold the sun doth burn ; Then, ho, hollo! though calling so, I cannot keep it down ; The tears arise unto mine eyes, Aud thoughts are chill and brown. Far in the cedars' dusky stoles, Where the sere ground-vine weaves, The partridge drums funereal rolls Above the fallen leaves ; And hip, hip, ho ! though cheering so, It stills no whit the pain ; For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch-tip, I hear the last year’s rain. Ho drive the cold cows from the hill, And call the wet sheep in; And let their stamping clatter All The barn with warming din. And ho, folk, ho! though it is eo, That we no more may roam, We still will And a cheerful mind Around the tire at home ! [O. J.. Clcvelaml, in Atlantic Monthly. LOST. A wild rose, by the wayside hung Dew glittering, on the morning air A pure ecarce conscious perfume flung ; I looked, and found the flowret fair— Ho fair 1 aought with sudden zest To wear its heanty on my breast, The trembling petals at my touch A sweeter, subtler fragrance shed ; 'Tis strange I loved that flower ao much. And—it was dead. In that high mood when thought hath wiugs, Aud duds alone its speech in song, 1 struck an old harp's slumbering strings, And drew an idle hand along ; Nor deemed the careless chords had caught One life note that my Bpirit sought, Till sudden on my startled ear Ita dream-created accents woke, I Alack ! I bought the rapture dear— The string had broke. I heard a wild bird on the shore. Hinging a wild eong to the sea ; And bold the burden that it bore, And sweeter than all else to me— CV> aweet, I caged the bird to hear His magic minstrelsy more near. Unladed, the captive’s swelling throat In one sad song his whole soul asst; Too welt I knew his loveliest note Had been his last. And yet while memory hath power To count the hours too vainly spent The fragrance of that faded flower, That harp's last dying mUBio blent With the wild bird's weird, death eong, will Haunt every waiting moment still.

De Witt Talma**— Be Content With **nch Thins* as Yen Hare —Good Reading for To-Day. | New York Herald.] Mr. Tslmage preached yesterday on “Contentment,” taking his text from Hebrews xiii., s—“Be content with such things as ye have.” If I should ask someone, said he, where is Brooklyn to day? he would say at Shelter Island; where is New York to-day? at Long Branch; where is Philadelphia ? at Cape May; where is Boston ? at Martha’s Vineyard ; where is Virginia ? at the Sulpher Springs; where are a great mul titude from all parts of tbe land ? at Saratoga, tbe modern Betheada, where the aDgel of the waters, the angel of health, is ever stirring tbe waters. Bnt, my friends, the largest multitude are at home, detained by business or circum stances; among them the newspaper men, the hardest worked and the least compensated; the city railroad employes, the ferry masters and the police and tens of thousands of clerks and mer chants waiting for their turn of absence, and households, with invalids that can’t be moved, and other multitudes by the stringency of tho times hindered from further expendit jre, and a great multi tude of well-to-do people who stay at home because they like home better than any other place, refusing to go away merely because it is tbe fashiou to go. Now, the genuine American is not happy until he is going somewhere, and this fashion is so great that there are Christian people with their families de tained in the city who come not to the house of God, trying to give people the idea that they are out of town, leaving the doorplate unscoured for the same reason, and for two mouths keeping the front window shutters closed while they sit in the back part of the house with the thermometer at ninety. There is a great deal of common sense in Paul’s advice to the Hebrews, “Be ye content with such thiDgs as ye have.” To be eontent is to be in good humor with our circumstances, not picking a quarrel with our obscurity or our poverty or our social position. There are four or five reasons why we should be content with the things we have. The first reason is the consideration that the poorest of us have all that is indispensable in life. Wo make a great ado about our hardships, but how little do we talk of our blessings. Health of body, which is given iu largest quantity to those who have never been petted and spoiled by fortune, we take as a matter of course. The grandest luxury God ever gave a man is health. He who trades that for all the palaces of the earth is infinitely cheated. “Oh,” says someone, “it is not the grossest pleas ures that I crave, but it is the gratifica tion of the intellectual taste—love of fine arts and pictures.” Why, you have the originals from which these pictures are painted. There is a great deal of affectation about fondness for pictures among those who never appreciate the originals. Another consideration is the fact that our happiness is not dependent on outward circumstances. You see people happy and miserable amid all circumstances. Iu the family where the last loaf is on the table and the last stick of wood on the fire, you somet mes find a cheerful confidence in God, while in fine palaces yon will find hospitality freezing to death iu a cheerless parlor. The heart right toward God and man, we are happy; the heart wrong toward God and man, and we are uuhappy. Auother reason why we should come to this spirit inculcated in the text is the fact that all the differences of earthly condition are transitory. Persecution never knocked at the door of the grave, and a coffin made out of pino boards is just as good a resting place as one made out of silver mounted mahogany or rosewood. The Egyptian guano thrown on the fields to benefit the soil is the dust raked out of the tombs of ancient kings and lords and mighty men. Oh, tho shame of some of those migthy men, if they had been told that after death their ashes would be so used aud would be called Egyptian guano ! Another reason for contentment is that God knows what is best for all bis creatures. I can tell you why you have not been largely affluent and greatly successful. It is because you can’t stand the temp tation. If your path was smoothed you would have depended on yourself, but God roughened it so that you may have to tako hold of His hand. Would to God we could understand that our trials are the very best things for us. Another consideration leading us to the spirit of the text is the assurance that the Lord will provide somehow. What God did for merly by miracles Ho does now in some other way and by natural laws. It is high time that you should understand that the word of the Almighty is involv ed in the fact that you are to have to eat and to wear. Again, I remark the religion of Jesus Christ is the grandest influence to make a mau contented, an indemnity against all financial and spiritual harm. It calms the spirit, dwindles the earth into insignificance and solaces the soul with the thought of Heaven. I commend you this morning to the warm, hearty, prac tical, common sense religion of Jesus Christ. Yet, my friends, notwithstanding all these inducements to the spirit of con tentment, 1 liavo to tell you this morn ing that the human race is divided into two classes—thoso who scold and those who are scolded. Everybody would be happy if he only were somebody else. Everything is upside down, or going to be. Ah, my friends, you never make any advancement through such a spirit as that j you can’t Ret yourselves up, and you may fret yourselves down. ’Mid all this grating of saws I strike this string of tho gospel harp, goodliness with contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into the world, and it is very certain we can carry nothing out; having half a raiment let us be therewith content. If this morning, in review of all your circumstances, you can’t think of anythipg else to praise God for, I call upon yon to day to thank Him that matters are no worse. Let us all re member that if we are Christians we are going after a while, no matter what oi;r circgmstanpeß are here, to have a glorious vacation. THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. A Curious Letter From One of the Cominiis sioner*—Wlint Justice Strong Says Ilfs l)e --<*iaion VVa Based On—A Novel Application ot itie Doa.;ripe of States* UightN. [New York Sun.) The Hon. William Strong, of Penn sylvania, is one of the Associate Jus tices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Ha was one of the fifteen members who constituted the Electoral Commission through whose action Rutherford B. Hayes was declar ed to be elected President of the United States. Had Judge Strong, as a mem ber of that Commission, yoted tjie other way, Mr. Hayes would have been ex cluded from the office of President, It is there/oM to tjie yote of J edge Strong that Mr. Rayes o;wes Jiip office. The Commission consisted of fiftpep, of whom, leaving Jndge Strong in doubt, seven were for Mr. Hayes aud seven were against him. The grand result de pended upon the way Judge Strong should vote. Under these circum stances, and with such consequences hanging upon his vote, Judge Strong mado up his mind to vote for Mr. Hayes. It now appears, however —and it ap pears by a letter under Bis own hand— that in arriving at this conclusion, Fudge StfODg was governed by a strictly technical rule, apj yltpough he cast the determining vote in favor of Mr. Hayes for President, he does not believe, and never did believe that Mr. Hayes was lawfully elected to that office. The view taken by Jndge Strong was that Congress has no right to inquire into State elections for State electors; that the Electoral Commission had no more power than Congress had; and so he voted for Hayes, although he feared a great wrong had been perpetrated by the Louisiana Returning Board. All fn!! v appears in a letter addressed by Mr. justice Strong to]an Oiu personal friend of his, the Hon. George W. Jones, of Tennessee, This letter, being entirely upon a public question of over shadowing importance, has been for warded to ns by Mr. Jones for publica tion, and we print the two letters, which are as follows, in full: Fayetteville, Tens., Oct. 16, 1877. Hon. Charles A. Dana : Dear Sib— Daring the sitting of the Electoral Com mission in Washington last Winter I wrote to Mr. Justice Strong, of the United States Supreme Court, and a member of the Commission, with whom I had been associated formerly in Con gress. I difi not keep a copy of My let ter, but addressing him I wrote in sub stanoe as follows : “When you and I were in Congress together you were a Demoorat, and regarded as an honest man. Do you believe that the people of Louisiana voted for the Hayes electors ?” I enclose a copy of Justice Strong’s let ter in response to mine. If you think his letter worth publishing you are at liberty to give it to the public. In my reply to Justice Strong’s letter I wrote: “By the Constitution of the United States it is provided that Presidential electors shall be appointed in such man ner as shall be prescribed by the State Legislatures; but the returns of the electoral votes are to be returned to the President of the Senate, and shall be opened in the presence of the two Houses of Congress, and by them count ed. Congress clearly has the right to inquire and determine whethar or not the electors of the several States had been appointed in tbe manner prescrib ed by their respective Legislatures. ” I never write secrets nor keep copies of the letters I write. And Ido not be lieve that the official acta of public ser vants and the reasons for their acta should be regarded as private and secret. Very respectfully yours, G. W. Jones. “Washington, February 26,1877. “ The Hon. George W. Jones ; “My Drab Sib —l was a Democrat when you and I were together in Con gress. lam a Democrat now. I hold to all the opinions the State Rights Democrats have always held, and which the acknowledged leaders of the party have avowed up to the present Winter— never more clearly than in 1878 to 1875. I do not believe that Congress has any constitutional right to inquire into State elections for State electors. Congress has of late years interfered quite too much with the States. The Electoral Commission has do more power than Congress has, and I think it would be a most dangerous usurpation were it to do what the States alone have a right to do, even to cure what I fear was a great wrong of the Louisiana Returning Board. I cannot doubt that snob will be your opinion when you reflect to what the assertion of such a power would lead. It would place the right of the States, respecting the choice of elec tors, at the mercy of the Federal Gov ernment, and be the greatest stride ever made toward centralization. Better suffer a present evil than open such a door, better than abandon all the time honored principles of the Democratic party. lam yours, very respectfully, “W. Strong. ” ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

LINCOLN COUNTY. ('roll News—A Poor Prospect—Polillenl Points —The Senatorship. [ Con espondcnceChromcle and Constitutionalist:] Lincolnton, Ga., November s.—As we seldom see anything in your paper from Lincoln, I will write you a short letter from this part of the moral world. Crops are poor indeed, cotton especially. I think I am safe in saying that the cot ton crop of Lincoln county this year will not average over sixty per cent. I heard a substantial farmer say not long since that by the first of October last year he had gathered and sold twenty bales of cotton, and at the same date this year he had not gathered over eight bales and ho is working one more band this year thah he did last. The corn crop will perhaps reach seventy-five per cent. By economical management our farmers will be able to get aloDg pretty well, as they are not in debt much. We have three candidates—Dr. B. F. Bently, Col. J. E. Strother and Mr. Z. S. Wil lingham—for legislative honors. They are all good and true men, and the in terest of the county would be safe in the hands of either. A mass meeting of the citizens of the county has been called for Thursday, the 15th instant, to determine which of these gentlemen shall be our next Representative. As re gards a Senator for this (29th) District I hear bnt little said, Some favor rotation, while others think we should have the best man, irrespective of what county he comes from. Your correspondent be longs to the latter class. lam not in fuvor of rotation further than to get the mau best qualified to fill the office. Lin coln has some men who, with two or three exceptions, are the first of any in the district, and if elected would make worthy Senators. Citizen. If ALT AND CONSIDER. Wlmt the Independent Movement Meant*. [Athens Georgian. | The recent movement in Republican circles, especially iu Georgia, are indeed significant and should induce every true Democrat in our midst to halt and con sider. The defeat yisited upon this par ty in the last Presidential election, and which gave rise to the electoral fraud and the now existing division in the Re publican ranks, have given great uneasi ness to the party leaders and bestirred them to every means and exertion for the perservation of powar. What, then, has been their more direct movement, their last party strategy ? Unquestion ably the order has been given the South ern Republicans, especially in Georgia, to temporarily disband, and, uniting with tho Independents in theiy move ment, seek to disintegrate and break np the Democratic party in the South. In proof of this unmistakable determina tion on their part, we find the most avowed and obnoxious Radicals in our midst, those who have so long sought to oppress and outrage our people, in full sympathy and concert of action with the Independent movement. However well Mr. Hayes may administer the Govern ment under the Constitution and the laws, nevertheless, tfie flie'aps by whiefh tie acceded ’ to the Presiden cy and the fear of such means be ing continued to the jeopardy of our free and republican institutions, have so awakened and alarmed the American people that the leaders of the Republi can party noy? see no safety or future hope of success except in the disruption of the Democratic party. Democrats, it yon to halt and consider well before you, by inactivity, indisposi tion or otherwise, permit this yyanton and deep laid schenie of 'tfie Radicals to triumph. Jt behooves you equally to disconntppappe sll independents or bol ters from party ranks, less ip tfie midst of present and prospective victory, shameful and ruinous defeat may over take the Democracy.

In Angora last year’s tithes are not yet consumed; and this year’s crops throughout the Vilayet have been so abundant that the authorities do not know where to find room to stow the tithes away.” This is strange. We are under the impression that last year half Asia Minor was suffering Horn famine. At any rate, that waa the im pression here when subscriptions were raised for the sufferers. On second con sideration, however, it is not strange. Abundance of Government tithes in Tur key and famine amongst tbe people are quite reconciled. THE SOUTH’S WORST FOES! SCHEMES OF COTTON-QAMBLERS TO BREAK DOWN PRICES. The Way It i> Done ta K[inland—A Bona Fide ltrviral of Bnsiaean Interrapted by the Dealers ia Fntares—The Prodneers at the Mercy of the Klas la America and Karope— An Appeal te Parliament Contem plated. [From Vie London Cotton, October 20.] At the beginning of last week a feel ing of considerable confidence pervaded ever; department of the cotton trade, though in different degrees. For a month or more the markets for the raw material had been gradually advancing, owing to the rapid melting away of the stocks, and the poor prospects of any immediate supply on a liberal scale. Between August 16th and October 12th, the visible supply of cotton—that is, the stocks in ports and afloat for the world —raa down as follows, oompared with the movement in the corresponding pe riod of last year: 1877. 1876. Deficit. August 16 1,882,009 1,995,000 113,000 Augustas 1,750,000 1,870.000 120.000 September 13 1,564.009 1,772.000 208,000 September 27 1,335,000 1.733,000 398,000 October 12 1,249,000 1,771,000 522,000 The reduction in the two months amounted to 633,000 bales, against only 244,000 bales last year. So serious an inroad upon stocks naturally attracted the attention of all classes of buyers. Another result was a large, though by no means an extensive business between the end of August and the commence ment of last week, resulting in an ad vance of id. to |d. per lb. During the greater part of the upward movement, Manchester looked on with almost stolid indifference, but towards the close orders commenced to come in from all quarters, and it is admitted that between the end of September and the Bth of October the advance in yarns and goods was fully equivalent to the rise in cotton during the previous five or six weeks. Producers, in fact, were be ginning to get into a very satisfactory position, and orders were being freely given out, when Liverpool suddenly col lapsed, owing to an unexpected “raid” of the “bear” party upon the market for “futuies.” The appearance of the “bears” frightened the “bulls,” who had recently been buying pretty heavily, and these immediately became sellers in order to realize the recent advance. The result was a drop of 5 16d. to fd. So sudden a transformation very naturally dried up the demand in Manchester, for it was not likely that buyers would go on buying goods and yarns on the basis of 6|d. to 6|d. for middling upland, when they saw sellers willing to accept 6Jd. to 6 5-16d. for the delivery of that commodity a month or two hence. This ruthless interruption to a bona fide revival in business may be very profitable to “bull” and “bear” specula tors, who deal in mere “paper” con tracts, but it is absolute destruction to legitimate trade. Eventually, of course, matters will right themselves, but that is no cousolation to the spinners and merchants who have been victimized in the meantime. We are perfectly aware that a very clever defense can be set up for this speculation in time bargains. But quite as good'a defense can be made for gambling of all kinds. The cotton spinners and manufacturers have at least £100,000,000 of money employed in this the leading industry of the nation, and . common sense, not to say common hon esty, protests against this vast capital being at the mercy of speculative “rings” arranged between Liverpool and New York. This is a matter which the Cot ton Spinners’ Association might very properly take up. If an act of Parlia ment can be passed to prohibit certain transactions in bank shares, why not an act to prohibit the sale of cotton “ fu tures,” except upon the condition that marks and ship’s names shall be given either at the time of sale or by the mail leaving the port of shipment next after the date of contract. Such an act would reduce speculation to fair and legitimate limits, and do away with the iniquitous system which places the man of straw and the man of substance on the same level. As to the probable immediate future course of the market, we have nothing to add to our observations of last week. The stock of cotton in Liverpool will very shortly be reduced to 400,000 bales or less. Consumers can draw their own conclusions from this faot. 11, FACT SK SOl/ItIKTTRE. A Ministry, “Over the Left,” the Only Re course—Resignation Thought Necessary- No Coup D’Ktat.

About 2, p. m., she dis appeared and is supposed to have sank. Three men were observed clinging to the rigging. Apparently no effort was made to save them. No traces of the vessel have since been seen. This oc curred about four miles south of this station. A Bonanza Indeed.

Bonn Platt Haa a Good Word for the Dele fltftle [ Washington Capital.] Georgia fared well at thehofads of Mr. Bandall in the arrangement of his com mittees. It was to be expected that the Speaker would “come down handsome ly” to the State whose nnflinohing sup port made his election a certainty.— Georgia was the center of Mr. Randall’s line, snd no demonstration of the allied forces of Morrison, Cox, Sayler and the rest made any impression upon thst solid rook. When Congressman Blount announced, two weeks before the meet ing of the Democratic caucus, that Geor gia was “solid for Randall," he not only showod that he had thoroughly perform ed his work as one of the managers of Mr. Randall’s fight, but he proclaimed the certainty of Mr. Randall’s election. Asoneof Mr. Randall’s counselors, Mr. Blount has looked out well for the in terests of his State in the disposition of his colleagues. Mr. Hartridge, who is one of the best lawyers and most finish ed speakers in the House, appropriately goes to the Judioiary Committee, where distinction awaits him. His position in the House is already a high one—a clear case of conquest of great modesty by great merit. Brave and genial General “Phil” Cook is at the head of the Com mittee on Pnblic Buildings. He has as many friends as any man in Congress, and as his constituents seem determined to keep him here, we promise them an increase every year of his large personal influence with his fellow-members. Col onel Blount is second oi the Commit tee on Appropriations, where he has al ready earned a fine reputation with his associates.
