LARGEST CIITCIRCULATION
THURSDAY MORNING Jm. S, IWT
GONE IK THE WIND.
FROM THE PERSIAN—BY RDECKMT.
Solomon ! where i» thy throne? It ti gone
in the wind.
Babylon ! where la thy might? It ie gone
in the wind.
Like the swift ehadowi of Noon, like the
dreamt of the Mind,
Vaoiih the irloriee and pomp of the earth in
the wind.
Man! panel ihon hnild upon aught in the
pride of thy mind ?
Wisdom will teaeh thee that nothing ran
tarry behind;
Though there be tbonaand bright actions
embalmed and enshrined,
Myriad* and millions of brighter are sown
in the wind.
Solomon ! where is thy throne ? It is gone
in the wind.
Babylon I where is thy might ? It is gone
in the wind.
All that the genius of msn bath aohieend or
designed
Waits but its hour to be dealt with as dust
by the wind.
Say, what is Pleasure? A phantom, a mask
nndeSned.
Science ? An almond, whereof we can pieroe
but the rind;
Honor and Affluence ? Firmans that For
tune hath signed
Only to glitter and pass on the wings of the
wind.
Solomon ! where is thy throne ? It is gone
in the wind.
Babylon ! where is thy might? It is gone
in the wind.
Who Is the Fortunate ? He who in anguish
hath pined 1
Hu shall rejoioe when his relics are dust in
tho wind 1
Mortal! be careful with what thy best hopes
are entwined;
Woe to the miners for Truth —whero the
Lampleas hare mined 1
Woe to the seekers on earth for—what none
ever find 1
They and their trust shall be scattered like
iearea in the wind.
Solomon! whero is thy throne? It is gone
in the wind.
Babylon! where is thy might ? It is gone
in the wind.
Happy In death are they only whose hearts
hare consigned
AU Earth’s affaetions, and longings, and
cares to tho wind.
Pity, thou, reader! tho madness of poor
Flumankind,
Raving of Knowledge—and Satan so busy
to blind 1
Raring of Glory—like me—for the garlands
I bind
(Garlands of song) are but gathered, and—
strewn in the wind !
Solomon ! where is thy throne? It is gone
to the wind.
Babylon 1 where is thy might ? It is gone
in the wind.
I, Abut-Names, must rest; for my fire bsth
declined,
And 1 hear voices from Ilsdes like bells on
the wind !
—All the jurors in the Mobile Tressell
shooting case at Chicago have signed a
petition to the Governor for her pardon.
The Judge and the prosecuting attorney

—ln walking, always turn your toes
out and your thoughts inward. The
former will prevent you from falling into
cellars, the latter from falling into
Iniquity.
—The Montgomery papers state that
no difficulty is experienced by planters
in contracting for labor for the next

to enter into equitable agreements.
—Success in life is very apt to make
us forget the time when we wasn't much
It is just so with a frog on a jump ; he
can’t remember when he was a tadpole
—but other folks can.
—An individual to be a fine gentle
man has either lo be born so, or brought
up- so from infancy; he can’t learn it
suddenly any more than he can leßrn to
talk Injun correctly by practicing it on
the tomahawk.
—The Herald'» correspondent says
that General Clay, at a ball at St. Pe
tersburg, “ set an excellent example to

"Well, John, ain’t I eating as fast as
I can?” replied Sal, with her mouth

—When Alderman Gill died, his wife
ordered the undertaker to inform the
Court of Alderman of the event; when
he wrote to this effect: ‘T am dAired to

—To ascertain it your gun is loaded,
put your foot on the hammer and blow
into the muzzle, letting the hammer slip
from under the foot and descend with

fact.
—“Pray,” inquired one minister of
another, "seeing so many ladies attend

"Oh, the answer is easily given,” he
replied; "the brethreu embrace the
sisters.”

Chancellor LIPSCOMB gives his testi
mony in the following terms:
Urivrrsitt or Groroia, 1
Nov. 14th, 1866. J
“I have examined with great care tne
Goodrich Series of School Readers, edited
by Noble Under, A. M. I consider these
Readers admirably adapted to secure the
end for which they have been prepared.
The selections are judicious, and the ar
rangement is excellent. Reading is here
presented as an art; the consecutive meth
ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited,
while the principles of correct and elegant
Reading, with the illustrations that em
body them, are so happily introduced, that
easy and natural progress may be made. I
am particularly pleased with the NEW
SIXTH READER. This work has pecu
liar merits. It combines, in an eminent de
gree, the best features of our most philo
losphic systems of Elocutionary Reading;
and, apart from its other recommendations,
is especially worthy of the attention of
Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value.
I ahall introduce the New 6ixth Reader into
tba Elocutionary Department of this Uni
versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
"Butler’s Grammars impress me very
favorably. So far as I have been able to
examine them, they strike me as very suc
cessful efforts to adapt the subject of Gram
mar to young minds. They teach the pupil
how to think in the study of Grammar; and
as most Grammars fail at this point, I can
very fully commend these books to tbo at
tention of Teachers.
A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
We ccmld append the endorsement of
these rare Books from all the important
Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will
hereaftef nse them exclusively in their
schools.
