®bt gailu s)tcss. City Printer—Official Paper 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 refused to sign it. —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 year, the negroes evincing a willingness 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 the young men of the diplomatic corps, by dancing with eminent grace and vigor.” —A correspondent of a Western paper spins a yarn about a German Jew, Who, after three days' wandering in the sewers of New York, picked up $27.00 worth of jewelry, precious stonea_ silver etc. —"I do declare, Sal, you look pretty enough to eat.” "Well, John, ain’t I eating as fast as I can?” replied Sal, with her mouth full. —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 inform the Court of Alderman Mr. Al derman Gill died last night by order of Mrs. Gill.” —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 smart force on the nipple. If the gun is loaded, you will be notified of the fact. —“Pray,” inquired one minister of another, "seeing so many ladies attend your church, why do you invariably address your congregation as ‘dear brethren?”’ • "Oh, the answer is easily given,” he replied; "the brethreu embrace the sisters.” AUGUBTUB BOHNE, QOn BROAD STREET, OX>\J (Opposite Planter*’ Hotel Has always on lmuil a large assortment of IMPORTED 4 DOMESTIC SKUARB Chewing and Smoking TOBACCO Lorillard’s SNUFF Fine Meerschaum PIPES AKD CIGAR HOLDERS, genuine and imitation ALSO, Rubber, Briar, Rosewood, and Clay PIPES, PIPE STEMS, SNUFF BOXES, Etc., AT TIIB LOWEST NEW YORK PRICES.

TOWNE’S ARITHMETIC and ALGEBRA. BRONSON’S ELOCUTION. BUTLER’S SPEAKER, etc.; —a THIS IS THE ONLY’ SOUTHERN HOUSE Engaged infthe Publication of School Book*. 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. Onr Books have recently been adopted as follows : Readers and Grammars into all the Sohools of Texas, through the action of the State Convention at Houston, July 4th, 1866. Grammars, Arithmetic, and Algebra in all the Public, and most of the Private Schools of New Orleans. Readers, Arithmetic, and Algebra jn all the Public and Private Schools of Mobile, Alabama.
