COVINGTON GA., AFiilL 9, 18.69. The Neglected Grave. The storm of grief has 1.-ng since died Hearts ceased to ache und fruitless tears to flow; Behold the grave, m.visited, undecked, .Forgotten ! ’Twas so many years ago. Ti.e rank grass waves in unmolested pride, Untrodden now by loving pilgrim feet; . The vagrant rosebush, only, on the mound Lays funeral tributes of its blossom* sweet. Over the headstone creeps thn hiding moss, Blotting the graven words with fingers slow : The wandering rinc there hangs, unchecked its veil— None seek to read the mournful record now. Who slumbers there ? No answer from the stone; N.) mourners near give tender, sad reply ; The echoes know the name once; but the breeze Bears no response upon its passing sigh. This grave once darkened earth for many heart*; Life lost its lustre and the sun its gold ; And woeful weepers wailed, “Console us, Death! Earth holds no consolation.” Now, behold ! Forgotten 1 By the death bed stands Despair ! Then comes a space of agony and weeping ; And then the world goes on, the mourners smile, And Joy awakes, although the loved lie sieep ing. Alt, loving God! that bring’st Time’s healing bal m To bruised hearts that elue would break with sorrow— That grants soft slumbers to the night of Grief. And send* the splendors of anew to-mor row. thou didst not will it so that « should weep Over dear graves forever and forever ; Tis Thou that whisperest tenderly,‘Some day,’ When we in anguish cry, “Ah, never! never!” Nor do we all forget, when kindly Time Has hidden us to eense dospair'and wee ping Sorrow may perish, but, within our hearts Love dwells forever— Love, not dead hut sleeping. Sometime. It is a "Sweet, sweet song, flowing to and ho among the'topmost branches of the heart and fills the whole air with such joy and gl.idfn ss as the songs of birds do when the summer morning comes out of the darkness, and the day is horn on the mountains V r e have all our possessions in the future, which we call “Sometime.” Beautiful flowers and sweet singing birds are there, only our hands seldom grasp the one, or our ears hear except in faint, fur off strains the other. But oh, reader he of gooil cheer, for to all the good there is agoldsn “Sometime ! ’ When the hills and valleys o!‘ time are all passed, when the wear and fever, the disap pointment and the sorrow bf life are Over then and there is the peace and rest appointed of God. Oh, homestead over whose blessed roof falls no shadow even of the (F.OuJs. Across whose threshold the voice of sorrow, is never heard ; but upon the eternal hills and standing with thy spires and pinnacles of celestial beau ty*a'J.ong the palm trees of the city on high, those who love God shall rest under thy shad ows where there is no in >ro sorrow, nor pain, nor the sound of weeping. Dodging the Hatter. An ipdivjdua.l purchased a hat in a shop kept by a tradesman by the name of Podgion. The article was got in the absence'oF tne pro prietor, and tlie purchaser loft the shqp, en tirely .forgetting, by mistake, of course, to pay for the aforesaid ‘ti c.’ The tradesman, upon hearing the fact, started after him, in hot pur suit. Upon overhauling him, the following scene occurred: ‘See here, I wish to speak with you. ‘Move on.’ ‘I am Dodgion. the liatter.’ ‘That’s my fix.’ ‘I tell you I am Dodgion, the hatter. ‘So am I; I’m dodgin the hatter too—and very likely wo aro both same fellow.’ . , The scene ended with a ‘striking tableau, in which Mr. Didler found himself considera bly ‘mixed up,’ with Dodgion the hatter. A Model Pufl. A Western paper has beou pufTing a bar keeper. Hear him : “.Mr. James Smithcrman, proprietor of the abov* institution, last week asked us to give him (or it) a puff, at the same time handing us a greenback, whose dimensions we shall not mention. We do not know or care any thing about said saloon, but Jim says he keeps splendid whisky, and we suppose he docs, for he buys of Barret & Craig, and they were never known to sell any mean whisky- oh no t Jim thinks the weary traveler should stop at his ranche and Svet his whistle,’ as it will help him along amazingly. No doubt it will help him to squander his money, waste his time, destroy his health, beggar hU family, gain the contumely of society, embitter his whole life, make a widow of his wife and orphans of his children, cause him to fill a drunkard’ damn his soul and raako more work for the devil. Does this puff suit you, Jim? If not, we will refund your Twenty of Brigham Young's wives arrived at Council Bluffs, lowa, last week, to visit friends at that city and Omaha, and will con tinue their journey to Washington. Johnson ns n Tailor. A recent lettorjfrom Greenville says : F had a long and interesting conversation yesterday with an old gentleman, a tailor by trade, who formerly worked in Joli-ison's yhop. lie says that Andy was the best- tailor ho ever saw, and that coats made by him never His work was not only substantial, but neat and tidy. All the young bloods about Green ville, who parted their hair behind, and stalk ed ahout with gold headed canes, used to pat ronize Andv, as it was the current report that a young follow who wore a full suit, ot John son's cut and make could marry quicker, and stood higher with the ladies than others. When Johnson was elected Alderman there was about as much honor in the position as there would bo in owning a hon and chickens, and it is said that the young fellows about town elected him for n joke. Two years after ward lie was chosen Maypr. If 1835 when he was first elected to the Legislature, lio quit the tailoring business for the time being; but the next session when be was defeated, be again resumed his old place on the workman's bench. - A curious story is going the rounds of the press, about a haunted bouse in Penn Ynn, N. Y. A visitor thus describes what he licard and saw: Our village clock was striking the hour of twelve when we entered the haunted room. The stillness was disturbed first by what seem ed a guitar, played but a few feet from us, and as sweet a voice as car ever heard singing to it in a lovr tone. In an instant the sound of voices and footsteps was heard all around us, but although Jhe room was as light as a lamp could make it, we saw nothing. The singing continued until the same swort voice, in the most piercing and sharpest utterance, cried ‘Help 1’ As the unearthly yell broke forth we felt our heart beat quieklyq our breath come heavily, and every nerve tingle, three times did this mysterious voice cry ‘Help!' After this followed what seemed to be a dance of madmen, together with the most demoniac screams ever heard. Last Summer Mr."Enward Gibson, a farmer living in Culpepper county, Yirginia,|was bit ten on the toe by a moceasin snake whim go ing barefoot over a field in which be had been ditching. Although was with diffi culty shaken oft', tho wound was apparently insignificant, and no attention was given it. On the ninth day after the incident AJr. Gib • son became blind, and a racking pam attacked |,i ß brain. lie -uftovud acutely through the Fall and Winter, :uid died a few days ago,— The poison had ascended to his Gram, and after a long combat with the skill of the best physicians, finished its deadly woik. What Is beauty? HoeratOs called beauty a short-lived tyranny ; Plato, a privilege of na ture; Theophratus, a silent cheat; Thocritus, a delightful prejudice : Carnendes, a solitary kingdom; Domitian said that nothing was more grateful Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommen dation ill the world 1 ; Homer, that 'twas a • Fu-ions WT- of nr-dnfe';' and Ovid, alluding to 'it, calls it aTavof Bestowed by tbc'gods. ’ •Mack.' of the Cincinnati Enquirer, sustains Mu .Christy in the view that no Democrats are to be admitted to. Congress, lie says : “k<is my firm belief that every contested case in the Forty-first Congress will be decided in favor of the Republicans, without tho slight est regard to its merits. Let the reader stick a piu there, ami wateli the results. Most of the miseries and mopt of the jojfc of life are imaginary, and whether a man is happv or miserable, depends almost entirely upon his moods. The distance between hull and heaven can, in many cases, 1)1 spanned by a dream. To get oqt. of torment most people have only to brush away the fancies tjiat-fes toon ami fill the brain. It is reported that a female beauty, of Afri-. can ’scent, has been added to the feminines of the Treasury Department. With a few more of the same sort, and a few Indian, ‘ Mexican and Chinese belles, the ladies’ branch of the department will be complete, and then will come the millennium.—f N. Y. Hernia. The World puts this fine point on the Fif teenth Amendment: , y When the lately emancipated negro slaves of the South voted for Grant, and, by being the balance of power, elected him, they either had the rig jit to vote, or they had not. If they did have it, why this proposed amendment to giyo it to them ? And if they did not, then Grant was elected by illegal votes.” Chicago estimates ilk population in the year 1900, at 49,000,000. Toledo asserts that its growth is double that, pf Chicago. Between the two the rest of the eopptry will be a howi ing wilderness before long. A Washington correspondent mentions as an honorable incident oorwioeteil with the late President, that “ Mr .Johnson, and hie family loft the White llo.iseHn a Tory good condition, and did not carry off any tiling belonging to t h o !' States” A if.iy or two after sr. John son left, he was biamed for having carried off hie private papers, but we believe it is now ad mitted he had a right to da that. Gen.

Every one, of course, lias heard, at gome time of liis life, o( Dean fcwift s ready wit, which was only equalled by that of his faithful man Jack, who. like almost all the son* of tho Emerald Isle, nevor was at a loss for a ready ai#war. One day, ->n taking .a tour into the country, the Dean ordered Jack to have dinner ready at u roadside inn, by 2 o clock. Jack hastened forward and ordered dinner, whiqli consisted of a roast gooso, ut.tlie catching and preparing of which Jack rendered the land lord’s pretty daughter vuluable assistance.— The dinner hour had gone by two hours or more, when JaoVs appetite became rather sharp, *o ho thought he'd try the edge of his knife on a leg, which soon was made to disap pear. Shortly afterwards the Dean arrived and inquired what came of tho leg of the goose. “Your Honor,” says Jack, “its mighty strange, intirely, but tho geese in this part us the country niver has more than won leg.” That’s very strange,” replied the Dean, passing no further remarks. Next day they had not pro ceeded far before they saw a fiock of geese, and as the morning was cold, the birds were indulging in their nceustomed habit of stand ing on oue foot while the other was drawn up in the feathers. “Now,” said Jaok, “you sec, I told you the truth yesterday,” upon which the Dean gave a loud hush, and the geese all ran off. “You knave,” said the Dean, “they have got two legs.” “Och, yer Honor,” said Jack, “and sure you do not give me fair ploy at all, for you know, an I was going to tell ye about it a.t the time, only some how or other it escaped me mimery, but you forgot to huth the goose on the dish. Anether day Jack gave, as an excuse for not not cleaning the Deun's boots, that they’d be dirty as iver agin night. The Dean gave strict orders to give Jack no breakfast that morning, and on Jack complaining of tho way he was treated, the Dean told him in rather a coo! manner that it was of no consequence as he’d be as hungry as ever by dinner time. Jack had nothing to say, but rode after his master with a rueful|countenance, and when asked by a m m where he was going, he said “to heav. n, fur my masther is prayin and I’m faatin.” Gexer.vp Bi-ti-er’s ScriFME. —The debate in the House yesterday gave the hint that Gen. Butler's committee is about prepared to aban don the business of peddling out amnesty, and to bring ina comprehensive bill for the removal o” political disabilities. IVe trust the irid'ea tion« mav prove correct, and that Gen. Grant may be enabled to begin bis administration with a general amnesty which a statesman W old have sought to offer, when his prede cessor was making frantic speeches about hang ing t aitore, four weary years ago. Wc might thus t ave been now much nearer the rehabili tation of the South, and the return of a good feeling. We may now hasten that era, if we will.—[N. Y. Tribune. On a recent Saturday night, as John Morrie sey walked down Broadway, he was appealed to by a woman of haggard beauty, who said that bar husband was ill and her children fam ishing. < The ex-pugilist went along with the woman to her wretched room in a Baxter street tenement, where he found the sick husband and three children huddled together in a cor ner. King “spoon lashion’’ to keep, from freez ing. Morrissey sent for his own physician, and gave the woman fifty dollars for immedi ate relief. , An lowa paper gives an account of an im mense horn of some ancient animal (probably antediluvian) that has b6cn unearthed in oyca vating for abed of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. Thp horn was not se cured and restored in all its parts, but enough of it was discovered to show that It must have been at least eight feet long. The paper thinks that it must have been the horn of “Methusn 'Tail’s cow,’* but we don’t know why. Thafcve ry respectable old gentleman would no doubt ' h/ive found out by his long experience (hat short horns were the best milkers. Moreover, as he arid all his cattle perished in tha flood, it is not likely that pre-eminent old age would have bestowed upon one of the cows the largest horns ever worn. _____ DsrxTii or a RsMIARKani.E Man. —-Jacob Sur get, ninety ssven years old, died in New York last week, and left a property valued at $lO,- 000,000.. He was a creole Frenchman, but was 1 born in the United States. lie lived by rule, and was very abstemious, drinking nothing but water. He used to say that he had a secret of longevity which he bought of a gipsy woman when' he was a sailor, and he thought ho should live to be a hundred. For many years he spent his winters in Mississippi, but when tho war broke out he came to New York, wheroho remained until he died. Planters, he IVakneil —The last monthly report of tho Department of Agriculture con tains some facts that should be a warning to our planters not to neglect tho raising of corn and pork, and depend on buying meat with the proceeds of their cotton. The statistics col lected show a marked reduction in the number of hogs in the great pork producing regjons. In a large portion of the Ohio Y alley, the re duction is reported at 15 per cent, and prices have increased 25 to 50 per cent, in conse quence of this ascertained deficiency. There is every prospect that meat will bo high next winter, and should ootton then bring less than 20 cents (of which there is a strong probabil ity,) the farmer who sells cotton to buy.Jjßeou, will count his gain by the transaction “over the left.” Inviolable fidelity, good humor and compla cency of temper outlivo all the charms of a fine face, and make the decay of it invisible. VOL 4. NO. 21 Important to Cigar Dealers,” Tho internal revenue'law of July 20, 1868, provide* that on and after the first day of April, ISG9, all cigars shall be packed in boxes notßto fore used, containing, respectively, 25, 50,160, 250 and 500, and shall be deemod and taken to have been manufacthred nr imported aims* July 20, 1868, and shnll be rostampod with tax paid stamps.

The fact that the cigars in the hands of dealers hav* on the boxes the red stamps, or any of the old* stamps, denoting that the tax has been paid, will not answer. The box must have on it th* new black tiix paid stamp. 1 Horse Trading.— -We take the following from the Albaay Post: Justice Cole, in de posing of a horse case yesterday, laid down tfc* law as follows ; The Courts look upon all horse traders as swindlers. When, therefor* one horse jockey choatß another, thejudgmeut always is— served fight. Th* man who gali cheated, intended io ehoat hi* friend, if If could.

Use of Lemons. -—When,persons are feverish and thirsty beyond what is natural, indicated in some cases by a metallic taste in the mouth, especially after drinking water, or by a whitish appearance of the greater part of the surfac* of the tongue, one the best “coolers” is to take a lemnn, cut off the top, pprinkle over ijt some loaf sugar, (halting it down into the le mon with a spoon, and then sucking it slowly, .squeezing the lemou and adding more sugar as the acidity increases from being brought up from a lower point. Invalids with feverishnen may take two or three lemons a day, in thia manner, with the most marked benefit mauU Tested by a sense of coolness, comfort and in* vigoration. A lemon or two thus taken at tea time is an entire substitute for the ordinary supper of “relish.” and cake, and berries, and peaches and cream.—jHall'a Journal of Health, Grant i* tired of Congress already.

Bonn4r advertises as an attraction to the Ledger a forthcoming series of articles by twelve members of the United States Senate. Among them, we trnst, there will be one on temperance by the lion. Richard Y’ates ; one on Marriage by the Hon. Charles Sumner; one on Honesty by the Hon. Simon Cameron ; one on Virtue by the lion. S. C. Pomeroy, and let us hope that the whole will conclude with a dis sertation on the influence of garden seeds upon American Statesmanship, by Vice President Colfax. The Ledger man should have gone to the old and new members of the llouso for something really instructive, Thus, Butlsr, on Spoons; Mullins, on Rhetoric; Schenek, on Poker; Stokes, on Loyalty; or Ashley, oa Tow* ‘Sights’would be very interesting.—Gim Enq. Many lose the opportunity of saying a kind thing by waiting to weigh the matter too long. Our best impulses aro too delicate to endure much kindling. If you fail to give them ex pression the moment they rise, they effervesce, evaporate, aud are gone. If they do not turn sour, they beeoine flat, losing all life and sparkle by keeping. Speak promptly when you feel kindly. As birds sing oftener on lowly roofs than palace domes, and rosqs lovo best to climb o’er lowly window-sills and cottage-eaves, so to the poor, G.od’s blessings comp freighted with dearest wealth, and to the "humble heart His love is speetest.
