THE ATLANTA SUN
MJJf.
The Unman mind, that lofty thing.
The palace and the throne,
Where, reason rite a sceptcred king,
And breathes its Judgment t'ne I
Yet, who with silent steps can trace
The borders of that haunted place.
Nor in his weakness own
That mystery and marvel bind
That lofty thing—the Human Mina ?
The human heart, that restless thing
The tempted snd tne tried,
Thr joyous and the suffering—
The source of pain and pn<3e.
The seatof Love-the lair of Hate,
And yet we hail thee aa tbon art,
Thou restless thing—the Human Heart.
The Human Soul—that startling thing,
Mysterious and sublime I
The sngel sleeping on the wing,
Worn by the scoff of time;
The beautiful—the veiled—the bound;
The earth-enthralled, the glory-crowned;
The smitten in its prime;
From Heaven, In tears, to earth it stole,
That startling thing—the Human Soul.
And such is Man 1 Oh, ask of him—
The erring but forgiven—
If o'er his vision, drear and dim,
The wrecks of time are driven;
If pride or passion, in their power,
Can stem the tide or turn tho hour,
Or stand in place of Heaven 1
He bends the brow, he bows the knee,
Creator, God, to none but Thee.
THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN, FOR THE WEEK ENDING MAY
THE IRON TRADE.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE RECENT ADVANCE
IN PRICE.
From the United States Railway and Mining Register.
Less than a year ago iron was selling
at $35 per ton. To-day the same brand
brings from $42 to $43. The cause seems
to be one of the most general character,
scarcity of ore felt in England and in-'
crease of cost of coal and wages there
affecting the markets of the rest of the
world for want of any sufficiently power
ful counterbalancing iron manufacturing
system elsewhere.
Mr. Samuel’s circular of the 11th re
ports that the English Bessemer steel
men have enough orders on hand to oc
cupy them three and a half years. The
small manufacturers of merchant barand
bundle iron in England have for the most
part abandoned their business to make
Bessemer steel rails for the large commis
sion houses, which throws the manufac
turing of meichant bars and bundle iron
into a few hands.
Laborers, there, knowing the sate of
the markets, are constantly striking for
higher wages, and are aided in their
efforts by the coal-miners, who manage
to produce a haif supply of coal, so that
coal fetches at the pit’s mouth fifteen
shillings the ton, the highest price ever
reached. All this has caused merchant
bar iron to advance from £7 10s
in August last to £12 10s. at the
present time. Nor is the price yet sta
tionary; for, since the last circular, mer
chant bar has advanced in the Philadel
phia mnrket one-fifth of a cent per
ponnd, viz; to 4. 4s. The East Penn
sylvania iron mon have refused for some
time to receive orders on any fixed con
tract price, while Western iron makers
are refusing orders on account of their
number. The English manufacturers
record tho price of their products only
when delivered, and refuse all contracts
on time.
Every thing shows an insufficiency of
iron, pig and rolled, forged and Bessem
er, alike, to satisfy the demands of a civil
ized world. Nor will the growth of the
manufacture for a long time keep pace with
the ever enlarging demands made upon
it. Fluctuations iu the annual product
of this or that iron region or country
does not materially alter the general sit
uation. Sweeden and Norway may not
(as reported) produce more than half
their usual quota. Old furnaces are go
ing into blast, and new furnaces build
ing elsewhere. But it is easier to deplete
the iron market when iron is low than to
refill the yards when a scarcity has run
up iron to prices which both collect
capital at old works, and invite its invest
ment in new ones. It takes time to es
tablish iron-works; time to get ore mines
into working order; time to construct
mill-machinery; time to train hands at
the Bessemer retort. Meanwhile new rail
way proj acts were set onfoot every week.
Russia anticipates her usual spring orders
in England by sending them four months
in advance. Workmen are watchful and
know all this. English puddlers rest
when the world hurries. Just when the
loudest cry is heard for more iron, they
are working bnt three dhys in the week;
and they make more money thaq when
they worked six.
Regarding the recent advance in iroD,
the Philadelphia Trade Journal says:
The recent iron advance in England
and America has made fortunes for
many holders. It is estimated that one
importing firm alone has made $1,500,-
000 on the rise in metals, chiefly iron.
The American rolling mills are four
months behind on their orders, and are
refusing to record any new orders at
fixed prices or stated deliveries. This is
a natural view of the uncertainty in re
gard to the future prices in pig iron. The
manufacturers of hardware, bo;h here
and in Europe, are almost constantly ad
vancing prices. The consumption of
iron fill over the world has increased
much faster than the production, and
this has been particularly the case with
in the last two or three years.

SUN-STROKES.
Grant was-fifty three years old on the
27th ultimo. One would naturally sup
pose that his birth-day occurred precise
ly 27 days earlier.
— “The Press declares that they are
no cooks in Philadelphia,” yet the Press
and its party will find themselves pretty
well cooked before November shall have
~ The New York Standard has sunk
SloO.OOO (of public funds) and now it is
about to sink. •
— Gerrett Smith’s “heart is with
Grant;” — probably upon the principle
that “where your treasure is there will
your heart be also.”
— Grant’s partisans “deny the soft
impeachment” that he has appointed all
his relatives to office. They neglect,
however, to state that the reason he did
not appoint the remainder of them was
that he feared the plunder would not
“go round.”
About Uie Crops.
The Rlberton (Elberton county) Ga
zelle, says: “Though farmers were late
iu planting in this county, they speak
encouragingly of com. Of cotton noth
ing can be said, as but few have finished
planting. The wheat crop, as far as we
can learn, promises to tarn out well.”
The Franklin Eeics has this: “A jaunt
of some ten miles down the river the
other day, revealed to us the pleasing fact
that the farmers are planting a larger
area in corn this spring than usual. We
were proud to see large com fields in
place of patches, as heretofore. Wheat
also looks well.”
The Cuthbert Appeal has the follow
ing: We are informed that Mr. Haywood
Maynor, living in the 10th District of
this county, has gone over his cotton the
first time. His cotton is looking fine
and thrifty, and he confidently expects
to get the first bale of new cotton in the
market this jrnr.
The Perry Journal says that CoL S. D.
Killen, of Houston county, has three-
quarters of an acre iu red clover for an
experiment It was sown October 31,
1871. He has a good stand, and it is
very promising. With very little excep
tionit averages “half-leg high.” Hepie-
sented the editor with a stalk measuring
twenty-five inches, with a full bloom on
it. He also has about a sixth of an acre
in lucerne, sown about three weeks ago,
a good stand, well up, yet small. He
solicits his agricultural friends to inspect
his experiment in the hope of mutual
benefit.
At a meetin of the Monroe county
Agricultural Society held on Monday the
29th, the following among other resolu
tions were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the
Society that a greater variety of field
crops should be grown by the planters of
this county. Our soil and climate are
well adapted to the successful growth of
the cereals and grasses as well as the
great Southern staple, cotton.
Resolved, That more attention should
be given to the raising of stock of all
kinds. It is false economy to have the
meat house and corn crib in the far
West even with cotton atf20c per lb.
Resolved, That whilst we think that
commercial fertilizers may be profitably
used in the production of farm crops
where there is much vegetable mould in
the soil and a high state of cultivation is
applied, still we think that the indis
criminate use of them under the system
pursued by our planters has been inju
rious to the best interests of our people,
and will result in general bankruptcy if
persevered in. And that it is the best
policy to collect and apply domestic ma
nures raised at the farm for the produc
tion of crops; and for the permanent im
provement of the soil cl.-ver or other
grain crops should be turned under in
he fall.

Infection in the Air.
At this season tho vegetable world tabes a new
lease of life; but to the sensitive and delicate mem
bers of the human family it is a time of danger and
often of great suffering. The moisture which rises
from the earth and hangs suspended over it in tho
form of morning and evening mists and fogs, holds
in soluUon, so to speak, the mephitic elements
which produce fever and ague, remittent fevers,
rheumatism and m-.ny painful nervous disturbances
and which aggravate dyspepsia, biliousness and all
minor affections of the stomach and the bowels.
This, therefore, is a critical period of the year, a
season when the renovating, refreshing and purify
ing operation of the mightiest of aU vegetable tonics
and alteratives, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitt rs, is sal
vation to tho weak, and the best security for the
continuance of the health and the vigor of the strong.
Now is the time not only to protect the system
against the common ailmeuts of the season, but to
prevent tho disorders incident to a warmer tempera
ture. Let not the exhausting heats of the summer
months find you unprepared to meet them. A conrse
of Hostetter’s Bitters, commenced now, wiU put al
the physical energies in fighting trim, double the
capacity of the internal organs to repel the causes of
disease, refresh the brain and clear it of all hypo
chondriacal cobwebs, and plsce tho whole physique
in an attitude of defence, with every available point
fortified and guarded, and as nearly invulnerable
to unwholesome influunces as it is possible for the
human structure to be.

LIFE
A Southern Poet.
Paul H. Hayne, of South Carolina, is,
by common consent, the best living
Southern poet, and, except Henry Titn-
rod, we think him the truest poet the
Southern States have given to the litera
ture of the country. Of the same fami
ly with Robert Y. Hayne, whose debate
with Daniel Webster constitutes one of
the most important chapters in the con
stitutional history of the United States,
he might well, from hereditary instincts,
have sought fame at the bar or in poli
tics, where the rewards were both certain
and substantial. But with every dis
couragement that could attend a young
writer, in a community which boasted no
literary class and sustained but one lit
erary periodical, where success in the
belles-lettres placed no lanrels on poets’
brows, and certainly poets (to borrow Mr.
Irving’s bon-mot) could not browse upon
their laurels, young Hayne recognised but
one mission and asked for but one guer
don. Loyal to his muse, her favor was
the only prize he cared for, and disdain
ing wealth he has accepted the discomforts
attending the want of even competence
serenely, obedient, like Beranger, to the
call of “ Sing, Little One, Sing.” Mr.
Hayne’s last volume of “Legends and
Lyrics,” from the press of J. B. Lippin-
cott & Co., of Philadelphia, contains the
most mature products of his genius and
illustrates the mastery he has acquired
over every form of rhythmical expression.
Mr. E. P. Whipple, of Boston, says of
five of the pieces contained in the collec
tion :
• Daphles,’ • Cambyao* and the Macrobian Bow,’
•Fortunio,’■ The Story of Glancns the Thessalian,’
and especially • The Wife of Brittany,’ would, if pub-
liahed under the name of the author of • The Earthly
Paradise,’ obtain at once a recognition on both sides
of the Atlantic. We cannot see that the American
poet is one whit inferior to his accomplished English
contemporary in tenderness, sweetness, simplicity,
grace, and ideal charm, whUe we venture to say that
he has, more than Morris, the true poetic enthusiasm,
the nnwithholding self-abandonment to the senti
ment suggested by his themes.’’
This is high praise, but it is well meri
ted, and Mr. Hayne is even more happy
in liis lyrical than in his narrative poems.
Grace, tenderness and truth are charac
teristic of them all. The dedicatoiy
verses to his wife, the closing stanzas to
his mother, and the intermediate collo
quy with his boy “Will,” are full of a
manly pathos that will touch every heart;
Not less becoming and beautiful are the
lines in commemoration of Harry Timrod,
which we would gladly quote, but that
we have space only for a little wild song
of the seaside, which will serve to show
how the thought in Mr. Hayne’s mind
sets itself to music in harmony with the
theme—
