CO7INGTOX GA., APRIL 16, 1869. | For Thy Sake. 0 Lord! our lives are blank with constant losses, Our feet are sore with pain ; Our hearts arc weary with fast coming crosses We struggle, nor attain. We watch for coming sails that never whiten The still unyielding blue ; We look for light whose dawn shall never brighten The mist-enshrouded view. The grasp is loosened that we held so tightly, The steps ours timed w ith, fleet; On marble stones our household names gleam whitely— Graves thicken 'round our feet. The white-walled city grows more dim and distant, Tho eternal shore recedes; The upward path we thought to climb persis tent, Is blind with unchecked weeds. As heart and strength grow less, the way grows rougher, Frail staves we leaned on, break ; , The glow of living fades—we hear—wc suffer, But it is “for Thy sake!” Is this the cross that by its fearful bearing Makes worthy, Lord, of Tliec? That lifts our weak endurance up to sharing Thy mystic agony ? There is a resignation worse than murmur, An acquiescence vain ; A giving up that roots seif«.will the firmer, And silence may complain. 0, give us,‘Lord, kthat living love "unshaken, That makes the heaviestjeross Titou layeston us, be by us seif-taken, Makes sacrifice of loss. Senator Sprague. The Republican journals are very much per plexed and somewhat alarmed by the late pungent, independent, out spoken views of Senator Sprague on the political and social corruptions and demoralizations of the day, and on the dangers thus threatening the|eouu try. Nor is this party perplexity surprising. According to the dogmas of party— this nartv or that party —the opinions of Mr. Sprague are rank heresies. But they are working in many minds. In truth, the great Istdy of our thinking people are revolving tiie question “Is there any hope of a reformation“ef the ex isting abuses, political and moral, frightful as they are, short of a complete overthrow of the political parties and party principles of the day?” Then these other questions are sugN gested : Where is this general reform to begin ? M list evils shall it undertake to remedy?— Where are the materials and the means for a new and independent party organization? Who will lead oft', and who will follow, when the party in power have ali the spoils and the party out of power are as stupid as the Bour bons in learning nothing? We cannot an swer these inquiries just yet: but the public mind is not satisfied with things as they arc, nor with things as they promise to be under the new administration. Senator Sprague is aware iff this, and has been giving voice to his convictions. One thing is certain, too, that things as they arc cannot last much longer.— From all the signs of the times—social, moral, religious and political —we shall have a tre mendous political upheaval and revolution in or before the year of grace 1872.—N. Y. Herald. Falsehood. —This is a vice totally unworthy the individual who would maintain a respect able standing in society. A great moralist has observed : “It is so easy and apparently so natural, to deny what you cannot be so easily convicted of, that a savage, as well as a child, lies to excuse himself, al most as instinctively as hs raises his hand to protect his head,” Patents should he most particular in cor recting their children for breaches of truth.— No vice fructifies more than falsehood. It is a rank weed that earliest takes root in the human mind, and as it increases its growth it spreads like the upas tree, every branch becomes a fresh vice, until the entire soul is poisoned with the obscure shade. Brigham Young lately lectured the ladies of Mormondom on education, and among other remarks, made these pertinent ones: “See, in the fashionable world, the education given to a young lady 1 It consists mainly of how to bow and curtsey, how to meet a gentleman, how to be graceful in a ball room, how to get into and out of carriages, how to walk on the streets, how high her clothes should be lifted, or how many feet they should drag behind her; and, in addition to this, to thrum on the piano and have a smattering of French or Italian. These are what should be called female loafer*; they are no good to themselves or any body else.— They cannot knit their stockings, make their dresses or under clothing, or do anything useful.” Information Wanted. —lnformation is want" ed of Peter 11. Ilale, who was a Clerk in the Treasury Department in 1860, and mysterious ly disappeared just before tho opening of the war. 110 is supposed to have gone into the Confederate service. His wife, Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, Northfield, Washington county, Ver mont, will be thankful for any tidings of him. Southern Exchange* please notice. A California paper announcing that the snow-shoe races were about to begin in a neighboring town, adds : “Considerable sport may be expected. One man has already bro ken his leg practicing on the track.” Rules lor Self-Government, Always sit next tho carver, if you can, at dinner. Ask no woman her age. Be civil to all rich uncles and aunts. Never joke with a policeman. Take no note* or gold with yon at a fancy bazar ; nothing but silver. Your oldest bat of course, for an evening party. Don’t play chess with a widow. Never contradict a man who stutters. Put down the blind belore you put on your wig. Never offend a butler—the wretch has too many chances of retaliation. Keep your own secrets. Tell no human you dye your whiskers. Never answer a crossing sweeper. Pay him or pass swiftly and si'ently on. One word, and you are lost. Make friends with the steward on board a steamer—there’s no knowing how soon you may be placed in his power. In eTerv strange house it is as well to in quire where the brandy is keDt—only think if you were taken ill in the middle pf the night! YVrite not one letter more than you can help. The man who keeps up a large correspondence is a martyr tied—not to the *take—but to the post. Wind up your conduct, like your watch, once every day, examining minutely whether you aro “fast" or “slow.” Ever since Grant has supposed himself Pres ident he has labored with commendable indus try to do something distinguishing, but up to yesterday this labor was vain. Yesterday, however, he did tho great deed by appointing one Pinckbeek, a nigger, to the position of Register of the Land Office for Louisiana.— The fact that Pinchbeck is a nigger would not be such a bad matter, were it not that he is« such a nigger. Had Ulysses gone the length and width of Africo-America, of Americo- Africa, or San Domingo, or anywhere, he could not have found another such a specimen. For a number of years Pinchbeck has been one of the leading roughs of New Orleans, and he was made a member of the Louisiana Senate by a vote of that bodv, and not by the will of the people, Severalnmes he has been brought up for assaulting gentlemen in the streets, and not long ago he threatened to have the city of New Orleans laid in ashes. lie is a good specimen of a Grant nigger, and highly toil.—N. Y. Dem. Bth inst. Josh Billings on Laughing. Laffin is strictly an amusement, although sum folks make a bizziness of it. It has been considered nn index es karakter, and there is some so close at reasoning that they can tell what a man had for dinner by scein him lass. I never saw two lass alike. YVltile there arc sum who don’t make annv noise, there are sum who don't make anny thing but noise—and sunt agin who lmv music in their lass, and others who lass just as a rat does who lias caught a steel trap with his tail. There is a mistake in the asserslnttis that it is no comfort to hear sum laff* that come romp ing out of a man’s mouth like a district skool of yi ung girls just let out tow pla. Men who never lafl may have good heartß, but they are deep seated—like some springs, they have their inlets and outlets from below, and show no sparkling bubble oh the brim. 1 don't like a giggle*'; his kind of lass is like a dandvlion, a broad vellcr with not a bit if good smell about it It is true that enny kind of a lass, if it is honest, is better than none, but give me the laid that looks out of a man’s eye, fust to see if the coast is clear, then steals down into the dimple of his cheek and in eddy that- awhile, then waltzes a *pell at the corner of his mouth like a thing of life, then bursts its bonds ov beauty, and fills the air for a moment with a shower ov silver tongued sparks, then steals back with a smile to lay in the heart tew watch again for its prey—this is the kind of a lass I luv and ain’t nfeerd ov. Savs a writer in Blackwood: “I remember a cruel old schoolmaster who always accompani ed his flagellations with the assurance we'd bless him yet for this scourging, and that the time would come when we’d thank him on our, knees for these wholesome floggings; but after a long lapse of years, I have felt bo gratitude nor ever met a schoolfellow who did.” “Married ceuples resemble a pair of shears, says Sydney Smith, “so joined that they can-, not be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing any one who comes between them.” The earthworks at Cold Harbor are fast dis appearing under the hands of the diligent lead-searchers, w ho are found everywhere along the line. Tons of old iron and lead are carried into Richmond from this field, for which a round price is paid. “We met several negroes, wiites a correspondent, “with largo sacks, col lecting the bones of dead horses, which thsy sold to the bone-grinsers in Richmond. Upon questioning them, to ascertain if they also carried off human bones, they emphatically replied, “No, sah : we don’t want no ghosts axing us fur der bones.” Warrenton, N. C., has a newspaper called the “Living Present,” which belies its title, bv heading its editorial column with a skull and cross-bonus. -• —i The “oldest inhabitant” admits that it is sweet to have friends you can trust, but more convenient to have friends who “trust” you. What would this world be without a woman ? A perfect blank—like a sheet of paper—not even ruled. Annexation Schemes. The Washington correspondent of tho N. Y. Times, writes: “The atmosphere bore ever since the 4th of MArch has been full of annexation. The feel ing among politicians and others in favor of the acquisition of new territory appears to grow stronger day by day, and if public opin ion on this aubjoct. should gather strength in the proportion that it has for the last few weeks, it is probable that there will he a pretty strong annexation party in tho United States beforo the close of the year. ■ Even now it is gravely and confidently asserted that the prus ent Administration will put this question in the foreground of its policy, but nothing has boon said so far by the Executive or any of his Ministers to justify those statement?, The Ranks resolutions, which were introduced a few day* ago, and the Cuban sympathizers who arc at work here, and a dozen other minor in fluences, fan the sentiment. The newspaper articles in reference to the subject are also not without effect, and the rustless spirits, who are always numerous in YYashington, are .indus triously turning evory little occurrence and incident to their advantage. Some are look ing toward the British provinces, jind others ct Mexico ; but at the present time the great majority have their eyes on Cuba, which latter they expect to fall into our lap within a short time. The Foreign Affairs Committeo of the House, at their meeting this morning, (sth,) discussed the St. Domingo annexation project, but arrived at no conclusions.” They. Don’t Like It. A correspondent of the Courier-Journal,' , on the 24th inst, writing from Salem, .Indi ana, says: Last Monday, at the Quaker Seminary, about two miles northeast of Salem, there was a scene enacted that Quaker eyes were unused to. Young men from various places attend the school, but most of them are Radicals. One Pincketn is. the principal of the Seminary.— Last Monday, two negroes applied for and ob tained admission to the school. No souner was it found out such was the case than the whitcjboys called a meeting, and resolved that if the negroes remained they would not. A committee was appointed to inform Pinckem that although they recognized his right to teach whom he pleased, yet if Sambo and Jim remained they would not. Pinckem yielded, and the “men and brothers” made trades. Our old Quaker friends look upon it, I am told, with feelings of amazement. They fear that the rising generation will not be controll ed by the peculiar creed of the Quakers. I give this as one of the signs of the times, as going to show that, whatever a Radical Con gress may do, although backed up by a Legis lature who hold their seats in violation of their solemn pledges to the people upon the ques tion of suffrage, they cannot compel the white race to intermingle with the black. Ahont the Door. A bit of shrubbery in the yard, a vine climbing by a trellis, a strip of greater mar ketable value ; which, with many, is a consid eration to be thought of before any other.— Such need no further appeal to their sense of neatness. But all those who really love the suggestions of beauty for their own sake will not omit the turf patch, the shrubbery, and the hedge and vine because they make almost any home more attractive and lovely, and cause the sentiments to sprout like the very leaves and buds themselves. How few stop to consider what a powerful association lies lurk ing in every simple but familiar object, like a hush, a tree, a bit of grass, or a bordsr of flowers ! They are objects that hold almost as steadily and strongly to home as wife and children ; they are closely associated with these, in fact, and can with difficulty be sepa rated. Therefore, we say to all, brush up about the door, and plant near by an object of simple beauty. It will bear fruit in the heart a hundred fold. A poor woman and her infant died, some days ago in an eastern city, of starvation. In her hand the poor woman clutched a tract on the ‘Goodness of God,’ which had been left her a few days previous by a member of the “Young Men’s Christian Association.” We have no words of comment to offer ; but it was very kind of those Christians to leave the poor woman a tract; it must -have been a great comfort to the dying infant.—Exchange. Exactly So.—The Baltimore (Md.,) Gazette says : “The audacious wrong which is proposed to inflict on Georgia is a blow struck at all the States. By the subordination of Georgia to* the will of Congress their independence ismon aced. If Congress can dictate to Georgia what she must do in matters of strictly State con cern, so also can it dictate in like manner t° any other State of the Union, and tho people of those States who recognize this right in the one ease, eannot with any decency complain if, at somo future, and perhaps not very distan day they find themselves deprived of their own liberties in an equally arbitrary way.” Ay, they may strike Georgia, but let them some day, beware of the recoil.—Ex.

Address Loafer, at this office. Forney thinks “the appointment of Long street is a d—d pretty way to make treason odious.” VOL 4. NO. 22 An the Flying Con free*. The National Intelligencer, of the Bth met. says : “We cannot lint regard the message of the Pi-reident (published elsewhere in oar ool umn«) as an invocation to Congrees, which ie* pluming its wings for flight, to reconsider its determination in this respect. “ The message is late, hut better late than never. It sets forth a necessity for restoration of the States of the South that are now out of the Union. As Georgia is not referred to, the inference is that Genera! Grant is satisfied with the situation in that State. lie dares not pro pose to break down State barriers, and legislate os if Georgia were but a territory or a school district of Washington. lie says nothing about Texas, which, according to the leading Radicals of that State, General Hamilton at the head, is in the almost millennial condition that General Grant, in the first part of hie message, regards as a condition precedent to the admission of any State of the South. “It will be seen by the message in question that the President doee not recommend to Cooe gress what be would have them do ahont Vir» ginia, but asks that a day may be fixed for testing by the people the merits of the consti tution that has been created, either as a whole or as provisos may modify it, should Congress suggest votes upon particular points, accor ding to the general desires in Virginia. The President steers clear of this issue. Ae to Mississippi, we submit that what be writes is ambiguous, if the following report of that portion of the message be a true one:” “I desire, also to ask the consideration f f Congress to the question whether there is a«t just ground for believing that the eonstitutieft framed by a convention of the people of Miss issippi for that State, and once rejected, might not again be submitted to the people of State in like manner, and with the probability of the same result.” Smokers. Robert Hill is said to have preached hla most eloquent sermons after smoking a pipe in his vestry; the same with Dr. Parr, who smoked sometimes twenty pipes in one eve ning, and “never wrote well only under the inspiration of tobacco.” According to Bishop Kennet, Thomas Hobbs the philosopher of Malmesbury, retired to his study every day after dinner, and had his candle and ten or twelves pipes of tobacco laid by him ; then shutting the door, he fell to smoking, thinking and writing for several boars ; and although such an excessive smoker, lived to the good old age of ninety and two. All know how the groat Sir lease Newton smoked ; and how on one occasion, in a moment of profound *b" straction, bo placed the little finger of hie “lady love” into the hot bowl of his pipe, ia place of a tobacco stopper, Thomas Carlyle smokes, as do Lord Lytton, Tennyson, Louis Napoleon, and many other eminent men.— Campbell, Byron, Moore, and Lord Eldon wer« moderate smokers, and frequently bore testi mony to the comfort of tobacco. Sir Walter Scott was a great smoker ; so was Lord Pal merston—and the use of the weed did not shorten his days. We wish we could say so much for Charles Lamb, “the gentle Elia,” who toiled after it as some men toiled after virtue. To say all that can be said in favor of tobacco would require volumes.—[London .Magazine, A countryman who had never paid more than twenty-five cents to see an exhibition, being in the city of New York on business thought he would step ’round and take a look at Niblo’s “Forty Thieves.” The ticket seller charged him ono dollar and a quarter for the use es one of the cheapest seats in the theatre. Passing the pasteboard back, the countrymen quietly remarked : “Keep it, Mister, I don’t want to see the other thirty-nine,” and out he marched, having taught and received a les son.—Exchange. Flirtations. —For every man whose heart broken—we use a phrase current in its ro mantic sense among women, and which among men denotes the state of the revealed by pro fuse smoking and spasmodic devotion to bil liards—twenty have their eyes opened, and are on the whole sometimes considerably improved by the process. We forget to whom is due the credit of the remark that a man's usefulness dates from the timo he loses his in terest in women ; but without going so far, ww are content to rest upon the conclusion of our own experience—that until a man has had on* or tw'o serious flirtations ho is not to be relied on for earnest effort, Georgia is rapidly recovering from the effects of war, and if left alone will continue to re turn large Democratic majorities, with or without negro suffrage. The opinion prevails here that with the increased representation in Congress which negro suffrage, if forced upea ns, will give the South, we may be enabled to counteract the pernicious influence of over educated and highly corrupted New England by the ignorant, but easily controlled bleak vote of the Southern States.—[Exehange. Pluck and persistency pay. They are a power. Men who possess them are commonly intelligent and know what they are about. They don’t stop at trifles. Little things and people don’t disturb them. In pluck tbere is strength and satisfaction ; in persistency there is faith and fact.
