From the .Xttc York Trikune.
IT WAS THY HAND, O TIME I
t felt tiiat there was a rhilling breath
Poured ice-like o’er my changinghrow ;
And the light fires that burned beneath
Unroused and cold were slumbering now.
My eye had lost its joyous light,
M y lips their wonted wreath of smiles ;
The spring-time brought no garlands bright,
Nor one sweet song the forest w ilds.
The flowers, 'tis true, to bloom would start,
The sunlight pour its tints of gold.
But could not wake my wearied heart
To rapture as in days of old.
And then I thought the flowers must be
Less lovely in this stranger laud ;
And the voung breeze less fresh and fren
Than that which erst my temples funn'd.
I deemed that to my veins once more
Their bounding pulse of life would cotne,
Could I but taste the mountain air
That wandered in my early home.
With faintingstep, o'er mount and wave,
I passed, to seek my native glen ;
My lip to cool, my hrow to lave,
Amid its bursting springs again.
And it was there—the dancing stream,
That o’er the cliffs so madly dashed,
Still with its wild and joyous gleam,
Unaltered, in the sunlight flushed.
The wild winds, that I loved to hear,
Stilt through the rocking pine trees breath'd,
And flowers, to life's first memories dear,
In each wild nook their garlands wreath'd.
The mountain mist that upward curl'd,
And upward bore my spirit too,
Till all the light of nil the world
Seem'd compassed in one glorious view—
Curl'd upward still, and still could fling
Its hues nil gorgeous to tho wind ;
Yet sadly, with untempted wing,
My weary spirit lagged buliiiid.
My early friends—l fount! them not—
The young, the beautiful, the fair;
But still, in each familiar spot,
Strange faces met mo every where.
And scattered were the forms I loved,
The hearts that used my mirth to share ;
So to their distant homes I roved,
To elude my spirit's sadness thoro.
I found them, and their bosoms yet
Were clustering warm round memory’s shrine,
But ah ! on every brow I met
The signet that l felt on mine.
Again I sought whore brighter skies
On fairer lunds their glories shed,
And graceful groups and glorious dyes
Were o'er the glowing landscape spread.
Tho bird's rich song, the bursting flowers,
The fountain's softly murmuring flow,
Their drooping fruits, tho vine-clad bowers,
Were like an Eden here below.
I bade the brocze, with odors rife,
Amid my loosened locks to roll,
And wake once more to buoyant life
The gelid current of my soul.
I felt the South-wind's balmy play,
I wooed the Summer's joyous smile,
Ami bathed me in the dancing spray
Os many a bright and glorious isle.
Yet still upon my lip and brow
Their rigid seal unloosened lay ;
And calmer grew my spirit’s flow,
And cob er waxed my pulse's play.
Young, lovely faces round me shone,
Free, happy voices rent the air,—
My bosom waked no answering lone,
My heart could And no echo there.
And then I knew no foreign clime
Had thus the pulse of life congealed ;
It was the icy hand of Time,
Whose signet on my brow was sealed.

Bibb Superior Court, )
JANUARY TERM, 1649. $
VI7 E the Grand Jury, Panel No. I, chosen
' ' and sworn, for the County of Bibb, at the
January Term of the Court, for 1649, beg leave
to make the following Presentments :
We have examined the Hooks of the Clerks of
the Superior and Inferior Courts, and find tiiat
they, as usual, are kept correeily and neat IV.
We have, also, examined the Jail", and find it in
good order, a> and was particularly gratified at the
fact, that there was not a prisoner within its
walls.
From a return made to this Body, by the Tax
Collector for 1648, we find that errors against
individuals exist in the Tax for that year, emana
ting from the Tax Receiver's returns, mnoun ing
to f1,179 26, and that Taxes against otherindi
viduals amounting to $1:14 00-7,had not been as
sessed, leaving after tile foregoing corrections
were made, the sum of SB,6!H 11-8, as the State
Tax of said County ; and We further recommend
that the Digest in the Clerk s Office in this Comi
ty, and the Digest in the Comp roller's Office,
be altered so as to conform to the Collector s
Book as corrected.
The Tax Collector asks to be allowed him on
bis Insolvent List, the sum of $525 72; this a
mount,We believe to be too bsrge, for the reason,
that we believe that at least, a portion of it, may
yet be collected. We therefore recommend that
he be allowed the sum of $362 66-3 only.
From a Report made to this Body by the Com
missioners of the Poor School Fund, We find u
balance on baud of .sl6l 33 only, and that the a
mount annually received from the State, only
averages about $3(10,a sum wholly inadequate
for the purpose of educating the 4 12 children, as
returned to us, as entitled to its benefits ; we
therefore recommend to the Judges of the Inte
rior t.'ourf, to levy a tax suffirico to create a fund
of S3OO in aid ol the funds to In-received froitithe
t-tatc, for tlie purpose of educating the poor chil
dren of the Cuuritv.
We regret to learn that pauperism is fearfully
on the increase in this county, and for remedy
thereof, we recommend to our Representatives in
our next Legislature, to get a law passed,author
izing tlte Interior Court of this County, to pur
chase a suitable farm in the neighborhood of this
city, to which all pauper applicants may be sent,
and where those able to labor, mav be made un
der the directions of an overseer, or superinten-
A® tit, to earn, at least, a portion of their support.
We recommend to the Inferior Court, to levy
such tax as they may think advisable for the cur
rent expenses oftlie county, and for the payment
of the present niitstandiiigdehts.
We also recommend to our Senators and Rep
resentntives in the next Legislature, to use their
best endeavors to have the present Tax Law »•
altered, as to levy an ad valorem tax The pre
sent Tax Law, we consider extremely unequal
and unjust, upon that portion ol’oiir citizens w bo
live within incorporated towns and cities, and
upon our merchants.
We also recommend that the present Usury
Law be so altered, that all contracts entered into
by any individual, when the rate of interest shall
bn expressed on its face, shall he collectable by
law, with said rate of interest.
Itt taking leave of his Honor, the Judge, we
would tender him our thanks for his aide anil
dignified performance of duty, during the pre
sent term of service.
Wo would also give otir thanks to the Solicitor
General, for his polite attention to this Body,
and for his laithlul and efficient discharge ofdtity

Bibb Superior Court* )
JANUAKY TERM, 1849.5
4 ' Ilf. Graml Jury, selected, chosen and sworn,
• Panel No. 2, at this Term, in dosing ill ir
duties, make the following general Presentments:
On an examination of the Insolven' List, pre
sented lo us by the Tax Collector of this countv,
we recommend that he he allowed the stmt of
(slls 57) one hundred and forty-five dollars
and fifty-seven cents, on the State and County
I’ax, in addition to the sum previously allowed
hy Grand Jury, Pannel No 1, at this Term.
Having given due and respected consideration
to the recommendation of our predecessors in re
ference to the establishment of a farm for the
support of paupers we dissent from such recom
mendation, foi this reason, that we believe, that
such an institu ion cannot lie so organized and
managed as to benefit the poor, withoi entailing
upon our county a very heavy and Imiiheiii
sottre debt, whit It recent experience shows,
should if possible, be avoided ; moreover, we be
lieve that under our present system, if the In.
ferior Court should asses the requisite ax fort lia
support of the poor, that such fund if faithfully
applied, will give to the poor such necessary
support as the benevolent object of the law is
intivided to bestow.
We recommend to our Inferior Court, to have
correct lists prepared of all defaulting tax payers
in the county, and have the same placed before
lliesuperintendants of Elections at. sell Precinct,
with instructions,that no person lie permitted to
vote without having paid their taxes, as required
by law.
Wo fully concur with our predecessors of
Pannel No. 1, in recommending to our Inferior
Court to levy an adequate tax for the Education
of the Poor.
Believing a* we do, thntthe present tax law is
unequal and oppressive in its operation, we
would most respectful y request our Senator and
Representatives in the next Legislature, to use
their best endeavors to have an advalorem tax
bill passed.
In taking leave of His Honor, Judge Fi.ovn,
we tender him our thanks for his polite attention
to this Body,and for the able and energetic man
ner with which he has discharged his duty, the
present term.
The Solicitor General, Mr. McCone, will
please accept our thanks, for the ability with
which he has discharged his duty, and his uni
form, polite and courteous attention to this Body.
