“ GO, FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT.”
[A young lady of New York was in the habit o:
writing for-the PhiladriphiaLedger on the subjec:
of Temperance. Her wiitiugs evinced such deej
emotion, that a friend of hers accused hor of being
a maniac on the subject of Temperance, whereup
ca sho wrote the following stanzas:]
Go, feel what I have felt,
Go, bear what 1 have borne—
Sink 'neath the blows a father dealt,
And the cold world's scorn ;
The sufferer on from year to year—
The sol9 relief the scalding tear.
Go, kneel where I have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray—
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay ;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied.
Go, weep as I have wept,
O'er a luved father's fall—
See every promised blessing swept—
Youth's sweetness turned to gail—
Life’s fading flowers strewn all the way
That brought me to woman’s day
Go, see what I have seen,
Behold the strong man bow—
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood,
A cold and livid brow .
Go, catch bis withering glance, aud sec
There mirrored his soul’s misery.
Go hear, and feel, and sot. aud know,
All that my soul hath felt and known :
Then look upon the wine-cup’s glow,
See if its beauty can atone—
Think if its flavor you will try
When all proclaims, “tis drink and die!"
Tell me I hate the bowl—
Hate is but a feeble word
1 loathe—abhor—my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred
Whene’re I see. or hear, or tell
()f that dark beverage of hell.

“Phoo! You see yourself that she
d low s’ no other suitors to accompany

two entered. The woman was dress

but they were all dressed very poorly,
in keeping with the place. The man
was dressed more carelessly, and
even more poorly. On his head he

half a dozen years old.
“ My husband, Mr. Man well,; my
father and mother, brothers and sis
lers,” said Mrs. Manwell, introdecing
all parties.
Manwell stood and stared without
speaking.
Ask their pardon, George,” said
Mrs. Manwell, “ for running away
with me.”
“ Who are they ?”
“ Have I not told you, didn’t I intro
duce you ? ”
“ Who were those at the watering
place ?”
“Some wealthy v people, wh» had
seen me at the milliner’s where I
sewed for a livelyhrod—served my
trade, George,” said Mrs. Manwell,—
“ and fancied my appearance, dressed
me up and took me with them.”
“ You jest!”
“Do I? No, ii deed ! These people
seemed to recognize me as a daughter
and sister. Jest, indeed ! \ou will
find (hat out!”
“You are too cultivated, too tasteful
and too fine featured !”
“ All this,” said Mrs. Manwell, “ a
milliner may he, or a sewing girl.—
Look for yourself among the class. Is
it not true? All thaL we girls need is
dress.”
Mr. Manwell lifted his fist and dash-
>r with the girls most of the lime ?”
“ Her heart is lull of vanity.”
“Pshaw! She is tied to luxurious
notions, that’s all.”
Manwell’s trunk was awaiting him,
and liie stage outside, on the piazza,
at the time this conversation was go
ing on. On the trunk were his initials,
‘ G. M.’ Miss Elsworth passing that
way, saw the initials—not by chance,
for she had been very busy scrutinizing
be trunks that lay together in a pile—
aud when she saw the initials she start
ed and turned pale. She recovered
herself, and withdrew with her compan
ions a little way, and then stood still
and watched. Soon Manwell came
onl with Ned upon the piazza. He
chanced to turn his eyes towards her,
and their eyes met—met for the first
time since she had left him while lie
was at work upon the lock. She did
not .turn her eyes. She bowed. He
proacbed her and bid her good-bye.
What the conversation was that en
sued between the two when they were
left alone, by means of Ned’s ingenuity
in spiriting awaV the rest of the com
pany, is unknown save the following :
“ But I am a lock-smith,” said Man-
well.
“ No matter.”
“ Are you willing to live the wile of
one who with his hands earns his daily
bread ?”
“ 1 am willing to undergo anything
to be with you. 1 have suffered
enough. During these last few days

pecuniary condition. But they are as
black as night. The planter will be
very heedless who fails, in forecasting
the future, to take into account the
heavy taxes and the general demorali
zation of agricultural labor which in all
human probability are before us.
But we will take the condition as it
now exists and express the conviction
that there is little or no truth in the
declaration o! the New York Tribune,
that “if the South can simply go on as
she is going, for ten years longer, she
ivil) be more prosperous than she ever
yet has been.” On the contrary, we
fear that Georgia, at least, is becoming
poorer instead of richer at this mo
ment.
Last year, at this time, we were
getting tweirty**fx cents a pound for
cotton and paying a dollar and eight
cents for corn. This year we are get
ting twenty-one cent3 for cotton and
paying one dollar and thirty-five cents
for corn. Last year we had not ex
pended more than fifty percent, of our
present costs and indebtedness for fer
tilizers, and we all know that our debts
are generally heavier this spring than
last spring. Last year we paid less
for labor than we have engaged to pay
this year.
Now, taking these facts into consid
eration,let us inquire into our assets.
What is our surplus from last year’s
crop—have we got anything left after
last years debts are paid, or shall we
have any remainder when we have
paid those debts ? Can we disguise
from ourselves] the fact that every
midsummer finds us bare of money,
'in water. The first two classes of en
amels are comparatively harmless, as
harmless as any other while dirt when
plastered over the skin to close the
pores and prevent its healthy action.
On the other hand, the enamels com
posed of carbonate of lead are highly
dangerous, and their use is verv cer
tain to produce disastrous results to
those who patronize them.

are harmless, except in as far as their
application may interfere with the
healthy action of the skin.

“ Do you like that sort of work, Mr.

“J do, Miss Elsworth. I believe I
ain a natural mechanic.”
“ It appears odd to see you doing
this.”
“ It is my trade,” he replied, raising

Her cheek blanched a little. “Your

I Miss Elsworth left him without :i
! word of parting.
“It is well,” he muttered to himself
“ If she cannot take me as I am, she i.-
; not worthy of me. The woman that
mariies me must take me.for myself.”
He stood arid looked aftei her until
she" had disappeared. She did not
once turn to look back.
He gave his shoulder a shrug, com
pressed his lips, uttered a cynical
j* humph!’ and turned to finish his
1 wotk.
“ Bet it he so,” he muttered, when
I he was through and was putting on his
coat. “I thought, perhaps, I had

earning a trade,
Mrs. Manwell stood and looked at
him intently.
“This is your house?” she asked.
“ Yes, madam.”
“ And you are not poor, hut rich?”
“You speak the truth, Mrs. Man-
well.”
“And whj did you play the jest up
on me ?”
“ To see if you really loved me for
my own sake.”
“ Ah, pretty indeed! And suppose
you do not love rne?”
“ But 1 do.”

“So there was a little family quar

well, after ihe cloud had somewhat
cleared.
“ 1 will,” she replied,—“I will.—
But first you must go with me to see
them, and pacify them in view of what
we have done,”

In a few days they -started out in
the carriage on their errand. Mrs.
Manwell gave the directions to the dri

expressing his wonder at the increasing
squalor ot the neighborhood through
which they rode. The carriage drew

She sprang to her (eel and confronted

does not love her, but was in love
with her circumstances! No, sir, you ! absurd,
go; I will not live a wife unloved for
myself—you must take me thus, or I
must 3tav. Still I can work.”
He closed the door and retired down
stairs to the street, clenching his hands
and teeth as he went.
“The horrible disgrace of it!” he
muttered. “ The derision lbat will be
my lot! And then to marry such a
girl!”
But at-the street door he tarried. He

NUMBER VII.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :
One of the most curious features in the
history of railways in Georgia, is the
part played by our cities in recard to
the connections ot the tracks ot separ
ate lines within their corporate limits. 4
The policy pursued in this respect lias
been short sighted, narrow and illiber
al to the last degree. Our cities have
all made commendable efforts to at
tract produce to their markets ; but
they have, at the same time, done what
they could to obstruct its cheap and
rapid transit and removal to its legiti
mate destination. They have indeed,
j by their refusal to permit tl;e co: uec-
lionot railway lines within their limits
imposed a heavy lax upon the produce
and business of i lie country, and have
thereby inflicted much injury upon the
people.
A brief reference to the action of
each one of our cities in the matter
j here referred to, will not prove uniu-

be “the sense of this meeting that the
