TAKE MY HAND.
B T MART E . LAMBERT.
I am Thy child! To f lhee alone I call,
Lest I, being mortal, in rr.y weakness fall-
I have no strength temptation to withstand,
Nor can I see—dear Father take my hand,
And lead me through the darkness, fori fear
l uless I know there is protection near.
Oft in xny pathway mountains seem to rDe,
And hide fiom me t-l ^ - : rr J r * , j .
ouu?iii,s ojien neath my trembling feet,
And phosphorous lights beguile me with deceit
Into deep pitfalls. Stones obstruct my path,
And furious storms o’erwhelin me in then wrath.
Days often come when everything seems fair,
XV hen breath of flowers make fragrant ail ..tie air.
I drink earth’s nectar, knowing well each sip
Will turn 'o ga'l when it has passed my lip.
This is the Lght that daiker makes my way.
For earthly senses love the earthly day-
Anu I forget that dangers round me teem,
That mortal joys are like t he light meg’s gleam.
Light is but darkness when we will not see,
Or seeing heed, and from the danger flee.
Lut light or dark I have not strength to stand
Unless a Saviour takes me by the hand.
The Joyless American Face.
What is to be done to prevent this
acrid look of misery from becoming an
organic characteristic of our people?
“Make them play more,” says one phi
losophy. No doubt they need to “play ! that it should at least pay six million
more;” but when one looks at the j dollars to the completion of a scheme

The Congressional excursionists, af
ter seeing the delta of the Mississippi
and the proposed route of the Fort
St. Phillip Canal, organized a meeting
on board the excursion steamer, which
was addressed by J. H. Oglesby, Esq.,
and Judge Bernard, who demonstra
ted all the the advantages of the Mis
sissippi export route over all rail and
canal commercial lines in the coun
try. They brought up the figures
and facts to substantiate their asser
tions, and then how cheaply this Fort
St. Phillip Canal could be excavated,
and how a vessel of any draught or
tonnage would then be able to come to
vr_ o.i—mme now the bar ob
structions kept heavy vessels from
coming in, and occasioned a great
scarcity of export tonnage at that
port.
The Congressmen of many States of
the West were called on, and each
gave his opinion on ti e scheme in a
speech. More than twenty Congress
men of the West and South, men of
influence and stamina, took the floor,
and all entertained the same opinion
as to the necessity of this canal. They
condemned the legislator) of the Gov
ernment for so long neglecting the
Mississippi river, and said that as Con
gress had just appropriated four mil
lion dollars to paving the streets ot
Washington with asphaltum and wood,
would mend the matter. No doubt
vve work for too many days in the
year, and play for too lew; but, after
all, it is the heart and the spirit and
the expression that we bring to our
work, aid not those that we bring to
play, by which our real vitality must
be tested and by which our faces will
be stamped. If we do not work health
fully, reasoningly, moderately, thank
fully, joyously, we shall have neither
moderation nor gratitude nor joy in our
play. And here is the hopelessness,
here is the root ol the trouble, of the
joyless American face.
The worst of demons, the demon ot
unrest and over-work broods in the
very sky of this land. Blue and clear
and crisp and sparkling as our atmos
phere is, it cannot or does not exor

Mr. Bayard Taylor, who is at Vien
na as the correspondent of the New
York Tribune, seems to have made a
great hit at the press banquet prelimi
nary to the opening of the Exposition,
both as a speaker and exponent of
Journalism.
He spoke in German, constructing
a new German word to characterize
the festival. From the Vienna Deuts
che Zeitungwe take the following re
port of the speech, which certainly
presents the finest epitome of the scope
and character of true journalism
which we have ever read. Mr. Tay
lor said:
This press festival is to me the ex
pression of a closer union of the press
in all lands, in order to extirpate old
prejudices, to further peaceful and in-
ctninfiro * " l ' 1
ciety aud literature, and finally—I
might also say—to inaugurate a kind
ol universal word sociability (Weltge-
muthlichkeit) among the people of all
civilized countries. [Loud and enthu
siastic applause,] For I assert that
a higher mission has been confided to
the press than merely to speak with the
changing voice of the day. [Cries of
“True”] Its domain lies between lit
erature and statesmanship, and takes
hold on both.
It is true, indeed, as Freligraphsays,
in speaking of politics, “the author
stands upon a loftier watch tower than
the turrets of party.” But it is enough
for us that each party has its turrets;
and while the masses of its followers
are struggling below in the dust of
battle, the experienced and conscien
tious journalist stands above on the
watch-tower and overlooks the con
flict without sharing its worst passions.
[Applause.] The press of all coun
tries, in the wonderful growth and de
velopment of the last twenty-five years
has learned the same lesson—that
every new freedom brings with it a
new duty, and in the same measure ao
its power and influence have increased,
its moderation and its earnest endeavor
to judge prominent questions justly,
have also become prominent. We
must wait long for the millennial sea
son of universal peace; but where, as
here to-night, the journalists of all civ
ilized lands are so cordially received
and so fraternally associated, the path
of peaceful and healthy progress is
surely made a little firmer than be
fore.
The conclusion of this speech was
almost lost in the storm of. applause
which hailed it. «.

DEEDS VERSUS CREEDS.
BY ASMS L. Ml’ZZKV.
And, seeking truth, I wholly lost my way:
Rocked back and forward by the swinging tide*
Of doubt and faith, contused by many guides,
Each one armed with a doctrine and a creel
Which each felt safe to say
YY’ould meet and satisfy my every need.
And one claimed Jesus was the son of God;
And one denied that he was inure than man.
One scented wrath in the redeeming plan -.
One dwelt upon its mercy and its love ;
One threatened with the rod;
One wooed me with the cooings of the dove.
And whether souls were foreordained to Lilas :
And whether faith, or works, were strong to save
And whether judgment lay beyond the grave.
And love, with pardoning power, went down to In 1’;
Whether that road or this.
Lead np to Heaven’s gate, I could not tell.
Amid this dust of theolopic strife,
I hungered with a want unsatisfied.
Heaven while I lived, not Heaven when I died,
Was what I craved; and how to make sublime
And beautifnl my life , .
Wl.iL.aIln..»-<.- >1.~ ol.nW“*
To judgment swift my guides in doctrine came
Which one lived out the royal truths he preached
Which one loved mercy, and ne’er overreached
His weaker brother ? And which one forgot
His own iu other's claim,
Aud put self last ? I sought, but found him not.
And wept and railed because religion seemed
Only the thin ascending smoke ot words—
The j iug’ing rude of inharmonious chords ;
Until—my false inductions to disprove—
Across my vision streamed
The "lory of a life ajlome icilk lore:
One who was sileDt while his brethren taught,
Aud showed me not the beanties of his cited,
But went before me, sowing silent seed
That made the waste aud barren desert glad
Whose hand in secret brought
Healing and comfort to the sick and sad.
Aglow. I cried, “Here all my questionings end;
Oh ! what is thy religion, thy belief ?”
Smiling he shook his head with answer brief—
This man so swift to act, po slow to speak—
“In deeds, not creeds, my Inend,
Lives the religion that I humbly seek.”

The habit of looking on the bright
side is invaluable. Men and women
who are evermore reckoning up what
they want rather than what they have
—counting the difficulties in the way
instead of contriving means to over
come them—are almost certain to live
on corn bread, fat pork, and salt fish,
and sink to unmarked graves. The
world is sure to smile upon a man
who seems to be successful; but let
him go about with a crest-fallen air,
and the very dogs in the street will set
upon him. We must all have losses.
Late irosts will nip the fruit, the bad
banks will break, investments prove
worthless, valuable horses die, china
vases will break; but all these calami-
| ties do not come together. The wise
course to pursue, when one plan fails,
is to form another; when one prop is
knocked from under us, to fill its [dace
with a substitute, and even more count
what is left, rather than what is tak
en. When the final reckoning is made,

consciousness of intentional rectitude;
if we have kept charity towards all

Manufacturing.—The benefit of
manufacturing establishments to a
town is pointedly illustrated in an in
cident mentioned by Dr. Morse before
the St. Louis Farmers’ Club. He said:
“A few years ago, a gentleman hav
ing invented an improvement in mow
ing machines, proposed to the citizens
of Canton, Ohio, that they should loan
him 810,000 to manufacture them at
that place. They did it, and that one
journalistic.
The present certainly must be the
transition period in Southern journal-
boiner'was qutckTy Toltowe^by-ltial
of the Augusta Constitutionalist, and
the other day the venerable Republican
of this city wheeled into the “innumer
able caravan.” The editorial frater
nity also seems to be in a state of com
motion. Colonel John H. Martin, who
recently vacated the editorial chair of
the Columbus Enquirer, has taken the
place of Col. G. A. Miller on the Sun,
the latter gentleman retiring on ac
count of ill health. We extend to
Colonel Martin a hearty welcome back
to the profession which he has so long
adorned, while at the same time we
throw the shoe of good luck after the
retiring veteran.
In the Atlanta Sun of yesterday Mr.
Stephens announces that he has re
sumed the entire ownership of the pa
per, and will continue as editor-in-
chief. Mr. C. H. C. Willingham will
remain as associate editor, and Mr.
Moore will conduct the city depart
ment. Mr. Samuel A. Echols, the
former business manager, retires to
enter upon other duties, and Mr. James
L. Miller takes his place. Rev. Dr.
Mills will have control of the literary
department.
Col. Albert R. Lamar, of this city,
yesterday briefly announced that fail
ing health necessitates his retirement
from the editorial management of the
Advertiser. Our best wishes go with
him, and we trust that a short season
ot recreation may bring him up to his
usual average of jocund robustness.
Theuameofhis successor is not an
nounced, but it will be hard to find
one who can handle the Queen’s Eng
lish with the same lusty vigor of ex
pression, or who will bring to
the discussion of questions of public
interest a riper judgment, a more
catholic, spirit, or a keener apprecia
tion of the necessities and desires of
the Southern people. The career of
Col. Lamar as an editor has been ex
ceedingly brilliant, and his retirement
from the profession is a loss not only
to Savannah but to the State and to
the whole South.—Sav. News, 5th.
AuJ soft and sweet across my spirit stole
The re?t and peace so long aud vainly sought;
And though I mourn the graces I have not,
It I may help my brother in his need
And love him as my soul,
I trust God’s pardon if I have no creed.

What Builds up a Town ?
The mass of mankind don’t see:n to
understand this question—they cannot
answer it correctly.
It is not done by your rich men—
your heavy capitalists, who invest
their money in banks or loan it out at
usurious iuterest or shave notes. They
are the “moths which corrupt.” In
terest is constantly eating up the sub
stance of labor and is a heavy tax upon
industry.
By an exchange-mf commodities the
merchant may, by accumulation, ben
efit this immediate locality, but he
does not add one mill to the general
wealth of the country. It is only
transferred from one man to another—
from one community to another.
It is the producer who builds up
towns and States—he who grows corn,
cotton, wheat, domestic animals, and
the thousand and one products of the
Increases tfur'tflMrfTDl ’Tkw WnWrar,
and more especially those who, from
that which is comparatively worth
less, create articles of value—he who
makes bricks from red clay, glass from
silica, paper from rags, &c.
Did our citizens ever think of what
a newspaper can do for a town? Ibe
paper-mill is enabled to sell its paper,
composed of rags which, but for the
paper-mill, are not only worthless, but
a nuisance. To print this paper gives
employment to a number of men,
whose families must live in houses,
purchase dry goods, groceries, milline
ry and every thing else—whose chil
dren must go to school, be physicked,
shod and clothed. The paper, when
printed, goes out into all the land—it
brings iu money from all the surround
ing counties, from surrounding States
—from distant Texas and California.
These thousands of dollars per annum
are distributed among our farmers and
butchers, merchants and milliners,
lawyers, doctors and preachers, teach
ers and mechanics—in short, every
body gets some of it. What is true ol
newspapers is true, also, in a greater
or less degree, of all kinds of manu
facture. He who spins thread or
weaves shirting and sheeting from cot
ton, or makes shoes and boots from
leather, or leather from raw-hides, but
changes the form and enhances the
price of existing articles of value, and
is to that extent a public benefactor.
But the men who do most towards
building up the general interests of
any community are those who brin_
into it large sums of money raised upon
articles, which, without their labor,
were comparatively valueless.
Is it not strange that people of com
mon sense will attempt to drive oil
such establishments by denying to
them that support which they have a
right to expect, and not only so, but
tax them heavily for benefiting the

A Boy’s Idea of Heads.—Heads
are of different shapes and sizes. They
are full of notions. Large heads do
not always hold the most. Some per
sons can tell just what a man is by
the shape of his head. High heads
are the best kind. Very knowing
people are called long-headed. A fel
low what won’t stop for anything is
called hot-headed. If he isn’t quite
so bright they call him soft-headed ;
if he won’t be coaxed nor turned they
call him pig headed. Animals have
very small heads. The heads of fools
slant back. When your head is cut
off you are beheaded. Our heads are
all covered with hair, except bald
heads. There are barrel heads, heads
of sermons—and some ministers used
to have fifteen heads to oue sermon ;
pin heads; heads of cattle, as the
farmer calls his cows and oxen ; head
winds; drum heads ; cabbage heads ; at
logger heads; beads of carpenters; head
him off; head ot the family; and go
ahead—but first be sure you are right.
