£bc gailj |)ctss. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION Saturday morning jan. 6, is« 7 A CHARMINQ POEM. Oar local frieud of tins Atlanta New Ei'O, Mr. A. R. Watson, is not only a good local, hut is “some’' on the poetry. Wa have a great fancy for Hootch poetry, and affect Scott and Burns hugely. The following from Scott's Monthly for January, is from Mr. Wat son)* pen and is a gem of poesy, ami a pretty tribute to favorite Bobby Burns : ‘ THE AULD CLAY BIGGIN.”* BY A. K. WATSON. What ga<)e is now the birdie's nest, Sin' he who sang hae gone to rest Wi' flowers blooming owre his breast, San fresh an’ fairlie— Blithe blue-bells—Scotia’s very boat— t Smiling so sairiie f Nae blither bard had Scotia’s isle, His sang, made a’ her lawlans smile, While thro’ her highlands many a mile An echo Hingin' That made each heart foel glad the while Rare Hob was stagin'. An’ he. wha had sma’ praise aboon The soil he trod wi' peasant shoon, Hae set the very narld atuno Wi’ his sweet singin’, And in the voice o’ “Bonnio Doon” It aye is ringin’. Bast lovers lo’ed his eannie sang, While bloth'rin wits a’ feared his stang, An’ lairdies dodged the bolt he Hang Wi' wicked aimin’, An’ cowrin critics found ere lang Him wee! worth namin’. He thoct nae man beneath his ken, An’ stood heid-bigh wi’ noblomen; His manlie nock ho wadna ben’ To a’ the Peerage; Ho had thro’ ilka rank an’ kin A safe, sure steerage. He was a man, an’ mair than that Naelairdio was ; he loathed and spat On rank like ony Democrat Wi’ goodlie hatin’. Nor elovated fortune’s brat Wi’ over-ratin’. He had nae voice for flattery; The gowd in man aye pleased his eo; For siller in the pocket he Ne’er cared a jingle; Nor swapped for purse-proud pageantry The pair man’s ingle. He spracbled up the hill o’ fame Hap-shackled by nae patron name For Scotland was his ainlie aim An’ high ambition ; lie slang a glory roun’ the shame 0’ her condition. Pin’ he wha sang o’ Scotland’s woe Is lyin’ where the blue bells blow, What mind we how bis house should go Wi’ 'ts hamely riggin’? What tho’ decay should crumble low The auld clay biggin ? * Burns’ cottage is advertised for sale in a late English paper. Big Bear Story—Oi.d ’‘Put” Out done. —The Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser says: “The other day a party of four hunters went out sporting from Crescent, a station on the Northern Central, between here and Williamsport. After reaching the mountain they decided to. separate in search of game, the dis charge of a gun being the rallying signal should one need the assistance of the rest. One of the four, William Godcharles, in his perigrinations, came across the opening of what seemed a den, amid some rocks. He boldly en tered, and about the same time was rather rudely thrust back and out by an enormous black bear, which resented intrusion by at once showing fight. Having his gun loaded nnd pointed in front, he at once discharged its con tents, which took effect in the head of the hear and killed it instantly, fortu nately for his future comfort and safety, about which he began to have serious doubts. “The noise of the firing brought his companions quickly to the spot. They at once went to work and skinned and dressed the animal, and started home with what meat they could carry. When well ou their way they bethought them selves that likely the den might be a wintering place for bears, and possibly there were more to he found. So they trudged back and put their guns in order, and entered, nnd succeeded in Btampeding three more bears, which showed good pluck, but at length were compelled to yield to the superior prowess of the hunters. They secured the trophies of their day’s sport, and proceeded home without further hin drance, and showed the evidences of the hot work they had encountered with the four black bears.” Abot.ish the Courts.—The Spring field Repuulican says: The New York Herald unites with the Washington Chronicle in calling upon Congress to reconstruct the Supreme Court, so as to secure more lree-and-easy inte-pretations of the Constitution. To this the Spring field Republican pointedly says: “Co lonel Forney should ask Thad. Stevens to introduce a joint resolution dispensing with the Supreme Court altogether. Nothing is easier, and then there will be no trouble from this obstinate old constitution, which is always getting in the way of “progress.’ ” Newspapers in New Exgland.— There are published in the New Eng land States three hundred and twenty six newspapers and periodicals, of which seventy five are issued in Boston, eighty two in the remainder of Massa. chusetts. forty three in Maine, thirty four in New Hampshire, thirty nine in Vermont, sixteen in Rhode Island, und thirty eight in Connecticut. Os the above papers that take political aider, one hundred and forty six are Repuldi can, and thirty nine Democratic. —A Homan paper says of the French Emperor, “Napoleon the third has fallen hack; he is lost. He has retreated from Poland from fear of Russia; he lias retrenled from Germany from tear of the needle-gun; he Ims retreated from Mexico from fenr of the United States; he has retreated trom Rome from fear of Orsini and Mazzini.’’ j CITY DIRECTORY.
