1 envy time, thou blissful deal, I envy thy

I envy thee the silent tomb, the soft embrace
of dentil ;
I'ur tlnm’rt beyond the world’* cold care, its
foil, infectious breath ;
Misf-rUmo i rags no more her t-mal across thy
pallid br ‘<v ;
No silent care cun feed despair, within thy

1 love lo pause where si ten the dead ; I lo\*
the oruve-yard’s gloom ;
And gladly would 1 take the spade, and fash

I'd place upon my limbs the shroud, anil free

Would death in yielding pity come, and claim

Have I on this broad earth a friend? Great
God, I a-k of Thee!
Is there a heart that wynld impart a sigh or

I'm sitting in a grave-yard now; ’tis there
these lines 1 pen ;
1 lov* the spot, I court the spot, more than the
haunts of inei;
Be-ide me two small children stand, with each
a tearful eye :
They’ve come to deck the graves with flowers,
where both their parents lie.
t kissed them both, and dropt a tear upon
each spotless brow ;
They sinned and said, ’'When you are d*ad,
we’ll come with flowers as now.”
How long in this unfeeling world am I con
demned to stay,
Repining o’er my weary lot, as hour drives
hour away ?
llow long shall memory, in my mind, her
mournful pictures draw.
And hover round those blissful scenes wh’ch
life’s young morning saw?
O, for the home that once I had, the fr ends
that once I knew !
The woodland shade through which I strays l ',
as childhood onward dew 1
My home, niv only early home, how much I
love tints yet! *
And never will my loving heart thy blissful

For sympathy, and tenderness, and anxious

And all that ln-d' •'•’* holiest wish could gath

But now, when loneliness of night veiia earth

These items are very symmetrically and com
pactly arranged, in tabular form, on nicely

with the form necessary for drawing money
from the Treasury, it would appear strange
that a sharp fellow like the Express man
should check on the State funds without
some sort of authority. AVe find by recurring
to the journal of the last session that by a res
olution passed to secure their nine dollars per
diem the members gave the Governor authori
ty to cheek dircetly on the Treasurer without
passing a warrant through tho Comptroller’s
office ns is customary. In their hot haste to get
pay. they broke down every barrier between
the Governor and the money box.—[Eatonton

The saw is an instrument of very ancient

From tho X. A . Pumoorat.
President Johnson,
In a few days the last of Presidents of the
United States, in accordance with, and agree
ing to tho Constitution of the country, will
have vacated the Executive chair, and tho des
tinies of America will pass into the hands of
its first Dictator, Aided undSmoked in his
efforts for power for hitmelf mid plunder for
his minions, by n parliament of thieves, rob
bers, land grabbers, plunderers, extravagant
aristocrats, tools of tyranny, and fit agents for
the bonded slaveholders of tho land, it is with
a fooling of sadness wo look upon the future
of this country. It is m feeling of dread for
the peace, prosperity, and good namo < f
America that we lament the day i K so near
when the. last of our constitutional Presidents,
or Presidents who believe in the Constitution,
and faithfully endeavor to uphold it, shall he
compelled in obedience to laws madu by the
people, ami respected by him, to leave the
chair of State in tlx* hands of a man who has
no Hilicy, no aim. no ambition other than to
please a few men who are his keepers.
AYodid not vote that Andrew Johnson should
be President. On the contrary, we voted
against him, worked against him, spent
money against his election, did all in our
power openly, earnestly, and honestly to de
feat him. Not because he was Andrew John
son, but because he was the candidate of a
very, bad, selfish, wicked unprincipled party.
But we hav« learned to respect Mr. Johnson ;
to look upon him as a statesman and a lover of
his country. AVe have learned to admire him
as a President. Our sympathies have gone
out toward him from day to day, ns we have
seen him struggling with fearful odds, shield
ing the last remuants of the Constitution and
liberties of the people, only by most wonder
ful determination, tenacity and regard forcin
stitutional obligations, that the laws might
live though h« might die. AVe have learned
to respect him for he has shown himself wor
thy of respect. AVe have learned to regard
' him as the upholder of liberty, the law, and
the Constitution, for ho has proven himself
worthy the confidence es every man who loves
the right and hates the wrong. As he has
defended the Constitution, others have made
war upon him. As he has endeavored to pro
tect the States bleeding at thj feet of powe-,
others, by illegal enactments and unjust laws,
have shorn him of all power to protect, till ho
stands-Mi the political world a monument of
lictier days, proud, erect, and upright, as he
has been devoted to liberty, a pattern for other
statesmen to emulate, a most terrible shame
upon those who, in warring upon him, hav*
warred upon the rights and interest of the peo
ple who elected them to serve rather than
roll them.
AN'hon Johnson go:-*, the Constitution goes
with him. On the fourth of March, when lie
leaves the AVliita Ilousa, the last of the Pres
idents leave ; the first of tlio Dictators enters.
There will be no more Presidents in this
country till tin- Democratic party conies into
power, and elects men of boldness, pluck,
earnestness, and decision of character, and
regardful constitutional obligations—men who
will care more for the pcoplo than for a select
few who now boast their ability to rob the
people of their earning* and States of their
rights at every whim and pleasuro.
AVe blame Johnson for a few things. AVe
blame him for ever having to do with that
party of thieves nnd tyrants who break men
they cannot bend. AVe blame him for not,
when once he had the opportunity, breaking
the egg before the serpent was hatched, which
has coiled itself about the throat of the Exec
utive, deprived hint of power to protect the
weak, or punish those who offend the laws.
We blame him for not declaring Congress a
bod'’ of conspirators long since, and immuring
them in some of the prison ships of the coun
try or blowing them into the air. AVe blame
him for not taking the power from Congicss,
by force if necessary, nnd holding it in the
hands of an honest man, rather than suffer it
to he taken from him for the benefit of dishon
est men.
But we have more to respect than blame
him fur, hut trust the State of Tennessee will
at its earliest opportunity, make him Governor,
or return him to AVashington to look after hen
interests. There is life in Andrew Johnson
vet. The day is coming when he will have it
in his power to settle with very many of his
enemies either directly, or by the aid, efforts,
or interposition of men who, like him, love
tlicir country.
llahd Terms.—The Louisville Courier-Jour
nal says, and very truthfully, that every indi
cation that nny man gives of a desire to estab
lish true harmony and brotherhood between
the North and the South, is construed by the
Radical party as n sign of treason. To be con
sidered loyal to tbe country a man must hate
one half of it. To bring about the fraternity
of the two sections, a iiery gulf of vengeance
must be placed between them. Radicalism is
in polities what devil-worship i« in religion.
Our Rich Boy Lives I
Young Soars, the “richest boy in Ameirica,’’
as stated by the papers, whose father lately
died leaving him untold millions present nnd
prospective, was killed while coasting with
other lads during play hours at the school
vrhero he was a pupil. Our “ richest boy,”
the poor youth without a dollar who is strug
gling like a hero to riso in the world and set a
good example for other boys—to be a man and
a good one ; the boy who loves his mother, his
sister, his weak playmates; who has a kind
word for those poorer than himself*, is still liv
ing and will be heard 1 of and from long aftor
all the richest boys irv America- are dead and i
forgotten.— Brick.
AA Ity Don't they Adjourn ll<w**e ?
This is what we hear from almost every
limn we meet ; what we see in nearly all of our
exchanges ; and if our Legislators regarded
the voice of the people they would see that
they are almost unanimously in favor of their
adjourning and gding home to look after their
own business, if tiiey hnvo any. There are
many very good and substantial reasons why
tii«“y should adopt this course and act upon
this advice of their constituents.
Ist. If Congress should decide that tho
Legislature, under its presont organization, is
an illegal body, all that they do will be de
clared illegal.
2nd, ls tho Legislature should adjourn,
Congress having many very important ques
tions before them, would probably let the
Georgia matter slido into the next administra
tion, when perhaps, wc might get terms. But
as long as the Legislature keeps in ses
sion they keep agitating the subject, and keep
up a continued irritation, so that if Congress
were disposed to igmiwi them and let them
alone, the Legislature would not let them ; and
lost, though not least, if they stay in session
much longer, they and the Governor will
bankrupt the State. The public expenditures
are enormous beyond all precedent, nnd the
people sre crushed dowrf with taxes. If tho
Legislature regard their own credit and the
credit of the State, they had better put such
barriers around the Treasury ns will prevent
the Governor from selling any more of the
State bonds, and appropriating the money him"
self, or from running the State in debt to get
money to pay any more Kimballs, and then
adjourn to meet in Milledgovillo wl.* i they do
meet; for as sure as the sun rises and sets, so
sure will the people demand that tbe Capitol
shall be brought back to tbe oentr* Os tb#
State.—[Fed. Uuion.
Richer than the North.
The N. Y. Express thinks that tho Sotith;
thanks to 2,500,000 bales of cotton ruised this
year—and wc add, plenty of provisions, also—
is richer to-day than any other section of the
country. Two and a half million bales of cot
ton, at $150,000,000, gives the South the power
to command its share of the currency, as the
cotton crop is one which finds its principal
market abroad, and prevents an unnecessary
exportation of coin. Such a fact is a most
auspicious one for the South, and will at once
have its influence on capital and population,
which it invites to the South, It enables cus
tomers in the South, who were last year unable
to buy, to purchase freely during tho present
and coining season, and this is done just now,
very largely in that city. Indeed, tho bulk of
orders in the city are from the Southern States,
and the South being nearly bare of goods, we
are happy to say they are very considerable in
numbers.— Ex.
Paste That Will Keep a Year.
One of our exchanges gives the following
recipe for making paste :
Dissolve a tcaspoonful of alum in a quart of
warm water. AVhen cold, stir in as matin flour
as will givo it the consistency of thick cream,
he particular to beat up all the lumps, stir in
as much powdered rosin us will stand on a
dime, and throw in a dozen cloves to give a
pleasant odor. Have on the fire a teacupful of
boiling water, pour the flour mixture into it,
stirring well all the time. In a few minutes
it will be of a consistency of mush. Pour it
into mi earthen of ciiina vessel; let it cool;
lay a cover on, and put it in a cool place.—
When needed for use, take out a portion and
soften it with warm water. Paste thus made
will last twelve months. It is better than gum
as it does not gloss tho paper, and can bo writ
ten upon.
A Fun’ny Legislature. —The Legislature of
Illinois, which recently, by way of a “joke,”
coded Chicago to Itldiitnu, has passed a bill
vesting all political, civil, and social power in
the State in “the female portion of the popu
lation above the age of sixteen years.” It is
liiiule unlawful for any male over twelve years
old to be out after dark, unless protected by a
woman qualified to vote. This, it is supposed,
is another legislative joke.
Southern Securities in New York.
Tho New York Herald, on Monday of last
week, says ;
Thsre was a firmer tone to the market for
Southern securities succeeding a recovery in
prices after the decline previously noticed.—
Quotations are not up to the figures which they
touched a few weeks ago. The market is now
largely free of the speculative influences then
nt work. Our reconstructed brethren were not
slow to learn “ Yankee tricks” in speculation,
and there i n the best reason in tho world for
the belief that the bonds of several Southern
States were ingeniously worked up and down
the scale, to the great profit of the State au
thorities. The investment demanded from
Northern capitalists and corporations seems to
have been satisfied, while speculative operators
are temporarily attracted to the other mar
ksts.
free Masonry In thr'World.
A is estimated by those who have some
knowledge of the subject, that at present there
nre in round numbers about 1,250,000 Free and
Accepted Masons scattered upon the face of
the globe. Os this number some 150,000 are
in England. 100,000 are in Scotland, and 50,-
000 in Ireland. There are about 600,000 on
tha continent of Eurojie, 300,000 in tbe United
States, and 50,000 in othar parts of the wofld.
In England there arc two or ffcree thousand
persons initiated every year, rthirnotwithstand
ing Papal allocutions and feminine denuncia
tions, tho Masonic body ev'eryw'ltort is said to
be increasing.

Insulting a Rostouian.
Not many days since, a gentleman named
Brent, quite well known in art and literary
circles, had occasion to visit a hook establish
nient in Boston, and saw there a painting of
Raphael Summes, also one of Stonewall Jack
son. AV hile looking at and Admiring them,
the merchant said :
“You are interested in those rebels?”
Mr. Brent—“ Yes, they seem to be very fine
pictures. Have you any others?”
“You mean of rebels T'
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes sir; we have pictures of the prou.x
inent rebels. Keep them as a sort of curi
osity.”
“Ah! If you have a complete sot I should
like to buy them. I am making a collection
of leading rebels of the country. If your set
is full I shall be very gtud to purchase.” „
“AVell, it is Tull, we have all of them.”
“Davis?”
“Yes, sir. very good picture of Davis.”
“Gen. Johnson?”
“Yea, sir. At least we have an" ongraving
of Johrison, said to be very good.”
“Gen.
“Yes; I believe so.”
“Have you Washington ?”
“Oh yes."
“John Hancock ?”
Don’t know as wc have a painting of Han
cock. Have an engraving however.”
“Patrick Henry?”
“AVell—no, sir ; I believe wo have nono of
him.”
“Thomas Jefferson?”
“No painting of Jefferson. I think wo havti
at) engraving; I’U see.”
“John Adame?”
“No | we have no painting or engraving of
Adams.”
“General AVarron?”
The Bostonian says, scratching hie head;
“Warren?" “Warren?” Warren?"
“Yes, sir. General Warren, who fell at
Bunker Uill."
“No, sir. AVe have no picture of him.”
“I understood you to say that you had the
rebels complete. Very sorry your list is so
imperfect, for I have loug been anxious to ob
tain pictures of all the prominent rebels—
lovers of their country, who dared fight for
the rights of the poople. A partial list is not
wliut I want. I will not take any of the pic
tures this morning. Good day.”
The last soen of the Boston merchant, hs
was flattening his uose against a pane of glass,

Grises.—Let no one flatter him or herself
that life can be without grief*. AVho ever saw
a piece—a tissue that had not some dark
threads? The only white robes we shall ever
wear will be the white robes of heaven, when
we shall be transfigured in the presence of the
Lamb. I know not why it is so. Ido not
pretend to know. Ido not think others know
any better than I why sorrows come, and great
griefs weigh down the soul, or seize it and rend
it like pack thread, or cast it upon a bod or
a rack of torment. These pungencies that,
pierce us so somotimes—what strange stuff
they are made of. Out of what unexpected
material they are wrought. Our best and no
blest deeds, our divinest thought* and actions,
our purest and most hallowed affections ouT
most beautiful and blessed tilings—out of these
shall come threads of darkness and webs of
shadows to be woven into tho woof of life.—
Out of theso shall come drops to poison life’s'
sweetest cups, distilled by slander's tongue.
; Out of these shall spring teeth to bite like a
serpent, and sting like an addor, when the
wicked persecute,aud malice has a work of doath
to do.
Senator 11m.i., op Georgia. —Joshua Hill
was a Union man, not only before the Union
was destroyed, but after secession had become
a fact. In the long war that followed secession'
his sympathies were against his own people
his prayer ascended daily to heaven fur the
triumph of the Northern arms ; and he looked
and hoped for the final subjugation of his fel
low citizens of Georgia and the South. He,'
perhaps, counted the chances ; and, thinking
the Northern numbers would win, looked for
ward to the end for offices and honors nnd
trust and confidence. The end came, and aft«*
a little while Mr. Hill’s reward eame, too. lie
wa* sent to the Senate. Instead of being re
ceived with open arms by Northern Senators
and welcomed as the one man who had not
gone astray, he is kicked contemptuously from
them. —Selma Times.
The Soutii Again Hkksble.— The Metro*'
politan Record, after a cheerful review of the
now very promising commercial situation at
the South, comes to the conclusion that three
million bales of cotton this year will put the
quietus on Radicalism, ur.ll Wind 1 up tho whole
machinery of reconstruction.
*' The spirit of trade, we rtFe reniinded, is an
obsequious oho, and worships success. Lst
the South raise throe million bales of oottoiY
this year, and the very men who called loudest 1
for the enforcement of the reconstruction policy
will solemnly disclaim over having been thd*
enemy of its people.”
