December 19, 1872. c ...... „ Cuni and iQf to be disappointed now 1 Indeed not, and accord- ingiy on Tuesday night, Dec. 17, our auction was held id vu voted by all a complete success. Tbo weather was inclement, but owing to the exer tions of Masters Barnes, Brown and Luue, the rooms ere warm and comfortable, and the audience though smajl was sufficient to secure active aud spirited bid ding. Oar Bombers were augmented by some young friends from the country who live at too great a dis tance from us to be regular attend.-iute of our Sunday School, but had united witli us in the raring of Mis sionary corn. Surronuded iu great measure by familiar faces, our little corn-raisers st on felt at case, and the sffgir took the semi-social character of a parlor enter tainment rather than a more forma! public gathering. A neat and tnxtetui stage had been arranged, the Sun day School were grouped upon it an t aft r a prayer by Rev. Mr. Lane, all united in singing “Our Missionary Song.” Afew remarks were the i made explaining the aiai nnd object ot our effort-, an 1 a fii e class of wide awake little boys stopped to the front of the stage and assisted by some of the older ones, sang the pretty song ‘’Giving,” preparatory to the auction of their earn The bidding was lively aud at its close, we ere iuvited to view ‘‘a scene from tb' Mission to Hindoo women.” As the curtains drew back, we be held the gentle and dignified Missionary.her work on the stand by her side and the (Joi d Book in her hand bunding torwurd with an air ut chastened earnestness toward a native Dar.cisg-girl in silver crown and spangled draperies, who wiih outstretched a - Qi end averted face seemed to repel the holy truths present ed for her acceptance. In sharp contrast a Parsce convert in the gorgeous attire ot her caste, reclined gracefully at her teacher’s Let. looking meekly nnd lovingly into her face. A little in the rear a queenly Calcutta lady in gauzy robes an 1 gleaming jewelry had drawn aside her veil that she might ni n e fully satrify her woman’s curiosity concerning the Missiona ry, while more in front a lovely Bengalese on her way to the temple of her God her offering in a silver casket [ borne aloft iu her hand, had paused to look upon the | novel scene. Following this unique and beautiful tableau, came | a class of bright-eyed little girls who sang “The Golden Rule’’ and after the auction o! their :-oru came the tab lean of the “Departure of the PiodigalSon.’’ This scene is too well known to need description, suffice it to say the attitudes were striking aud expressive, the costumes tasteful and true to the period they represented, the fast youug Jew, especially being a marvel of orieutnl richness aud glitter. .Six manly iads, who have not out-grown their attachment to Sunday School next sung with spirit “Keep to the iighrboys,” and after the auction of their corn we had the ‘ Return of the Prodigal Son.’’ This tableau was equal iu beauty and expressiveness tv its companion and the Jewish dandy of the funner scene was trausfqiined into the ragged vagabond of this, with magical skill and effec tiveness Next followed the beautiful “Childrens Te Dcum,” sung by the sweet voices of a class of young Misses ami the auction of their corn. Who that saw the tableau of' Hope" will soon for get it? The fair young girl L-auiug on an anchor, her white rope falling iu staturosque folds, tile radiant eyes raised toward thu heaven pointed out by the sculp tured linud—all had the exquirite finish of a line en graving. May that star ot hope never cease to shine till lost in the brightness of eternity i A part ot the Bible class were absent.from sickness, but their song “The Happy Time,'’ rang out cheerily and the:r corn quickly found bidders. The last tableau “The Baptism of Pocahontas'’ was appropriate and beautiful. The baptismal group iu theirsuowy robes, the magnificent Powhatan in his Indian garb with the sister of Pocahontas sitting with the grace of nu Indian princess at his feet, and the boy with bow and arrows at his .-ide, the Virginia ladies of the olden time in their s'ateiy but not ungraceful dress, the pure and simple Quaker maiden, the enamored Rolte, Uieclear-headed G'npt. {Smith, and the hardy settlers with their guns were all faithfully reproduced and formed an artistic and impressive scene. The closing song “Toiling On” was finely sung and the exercises were closed with a benediction. The re sult of the auction was eminently satisfactory, amount ing to $30,00 which will probably be expended in Bibles to be used iu the womau's Mission in India. The exercises of the evening were carried out in a manner highly creditable to the Sunday School. The songs (excepting the lastj were from the new book “Fresh Laurels" recently adopted by the Suuuey School and were rendered doubly attractive by the superb voice of a lady who favored tn with her assistance on this occasion. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the ladies not personally connected with the Sunday School whose skill and energy wrought such a marked success, to the tarteful hands that created so much of grace aud beauty in the surrouudinge, and t ithe gentlemen who even at "the eleventh hour’’aided iu the completion of arrangements beyond the skill of feminine fingers. Especial thanks are due to Mrs. I)r. Green and Cant Wilcox of the State Lunatic Asylum for their inva.u- . able as.-ritnuee. E. S. Viuson, D. C. ltrundage, W. II. U. Barnes, S. E AVo are glad to find that the San day School at Mid- j Whitaker, M. A. Barnes, W. H. Stembridgo, aud E. The former with lestoona of grapes was graced, The latter, bnstle-laden and tight-laced. The gay dame spake: “ Fie! Bacchus, cease yoor ways! My husband, now, with yon spends all his days. And even my fond lover, by your wiles, Wastes on his cups instead of'me his “smiles." Leave off your ti icks, and tell Dick Callaway To seek repentance, cloee his doors, and pray.’’ The jolly god looked archly o’er the way. Anil thus lie “said, (or tried to say) his say”: “O Jupiter! Thoa monarch of the sky! Turn inward on herself at least one eye Of every fashionable stuck out dame ! Let them berate no one in Virtue's name. But on (heir bended knees thy grace implore To gloss their secret doiugs deftly o’er!" Dire Wralli Hashed fierce o'er a'l sweet Fashion’s face, And streamed like light Auroral o’er the space. ‘Vile slanderer! Pagan dog!" exclaimed the fair, “No wonder panthers to tlie sacred were, Siuoe thy blood thirsty spirit seeks to feast On Innocence which doth offend the least— Now, with thy tongue, assailing my pure nnme, Next, with thy cups, reducing man to shame. “Behold McArthur squatted on that log. By tiiee degraded from a man to hog! Behold thy votaries, thousands, day by day, Waste wealth, and health, and life, and soul away ! And turuest thou preacher ? O. vile beast, avaunt! 1 And so he did; but soon, on moonbeam slant. He glided o’er my head to Fashion's side, As ouly gallants after midnight glide. With low obsisance. hand upou his heart, lie held a goUel with resistless art .- The foaming wine did sparkle iu tlie rays Of waning moon-light, mingling, now, with day's; Aud Fashion s brow relaxed, the wine she took, She drank, and wore the wine-god’s joyous look, And then McArthur slept, and knows not whether Fashion and Bacchus did the same together. Tiie sun came up; the busy stir of man Began to mail; in life another span, The Dav’s brief span which brings aud takes away, l akes Time, and brings the Never-ending Day, Doors opened wide; and CliNX and Quinn once moie Served thronging customers that filled their store, As at none other customers are favored With goods the best by lowest prices flavored. At length u:ilo McArthur’s longing eyes, The blessed son of Callaway did arise : Swift to his “Bar," for morniug “bitters'’ came More saints and sinners than I choose to name; McArthur with the former silly quaffed Ope chill-dispelling, soul-iuspiring draught, Then, wiping not his lips upon the street, Homeward he moved his sauctimouious feet. 10 And where was FasUion ? Where the Jolly Goii? Retired to take a cosy morning nod ? Oh, no ! A runaway match they now have made, Their vows are interchanged, the rite is said. Their lives, and uinib and destinies united ; Where visits one, the other is invited; By Hymen bound, through fair aud stormy weather, I'ashum aud Bacchus always oo togstheiiI Temperance Union.

I announce uiysdtf a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Baldwin comity, for tbe following reasons: I was present in the Democratic Convention held in Milledgeviile on the first Wednesday of this month prepared to submit my claims to that body, but a ma jority of those composing it declined to make a nom ination, and after much wrangling and disputation re ferred the whole matter to the militia district* of the county. Such action was contrary to Democratic usage, precedent aud principle; and so viewing it, I dissented therefrom and declined the use of my name in the body composed of tli e District delegates, appoint ed under this new law of non-reprcstnlalxon of the people. That body composed of twenty-four citizens of the comity, met in secret session on lost -Wednesday and made nominations for tlie party. Now I hold that this District system is unfair aud unjust, because based upon territorial distinction, aud in utter disre gard of population, which is the true basis of repre sentation, and Jbeiug not only without precedent, but an abandonment ot all past party usage, 110 Demo crat is bound by it, but on the contrary, must change his principles to abide by it. The great object of the popular convention system, is to secure a tair majority expression ot the popular will, the inevitable result of the new system (through district combinations) is the defeat of that object, in the suppression of the popular will, and thus believing I cannot lend it my sanction, but appeal from it to the great convention ot the people at the ballot box, with itn abiding conviction that they will ratify my “faith” and my candidacy on the first Wednesday in January next- Verylrespectfully, ~ JOHN;B.
