There's joy when the rosy moming.floods The purple east with light ; When the zephyr sweeps from a thousand buds The pearly tears of night ; There’s joy when the lark exulting springs To pour' liia'matin lay ; From the blossom’d thorn when the blackbird sings, And the merry inmth of May. There’s joy abroad when the wintry snow Melts, us it ne’er liitd bt'ftl; When the cowslips bud, and violets blow, Ahd leaves are fresh and green. There’s joy in the swallows airy flight; In the cuckoo’s blithesome cry ; When the floating clouds reflect the light Of evening's glowing sky. There’s joy in April's balmy showers, ’Mid gleams of sunshine shed ; When May brings forth a thousand flowers To deck the earth's green bed : There’s joy r when the pale, pale moon comes out With all her starry train ; When the woods return the reaper’s shout. And echo shouts again. There’s joy in childhood's silvery voice, When the laugh brings blithe and clcar, And the sounds that bid youmg hearts rejoice Are music tojthe ear. There’s joy in the sweet romance of youth, fire care a shadow throws Across the radiant brow of truth, To mar the soul’s fepo^e. There’s jojy in the youthful lover’s breast, When his bride by the altar stards. When his trembling lips to her’s are press’d, And the priest lias joined their hands. There’s joy—deep’ joy- in the mother’s heart. When she clasps her first born son, And the tears of holy rapture start To bless the lovely sue. There'ajoy above —around —beneath— But ’tie a fleeting ray ; The world’s stern strife, the hand of death, Bid mortal hopes decay: But there’s deeper joy than earth With all her charms can give. Which - marks the spirit’s second birth. When man but Sios to live. Something for Gen. Grant to Do. Some of our contemporaries are busy ing themselves iu trying to think of something for Gen. Grant to do after lie leaves the White House, the which, however unwillingly, he will do on the fourth day of next March. It really seems a little difficulty to find any occupation just suited to the Gener al. His stock farm is Missouri is gone, and we do not suppose the old negro who bought the General’s war horse for ten dollars would eveu give that animal back to him. Grant knows jfcttretlung about horsfctf ; but. we do not suppose that, he could make a living by dealing in them, for his father said that be once sent Ulysses to make a trade, and on arriving at the house the other party, the.future hero thus accosted him : ‘Father sent me over here to trade horses with you; he said to swap even if I could, and if not to jfier you twenty dollars to boot.’ It has been suggested to place Gen. Grant at the head of the Smithsonian Institution ; but fre hardly think there would be much in science congenial to his taste. What can be done for him ? We have it: Give him charge ot a sample room! —V. Y. Sun. Few people are aware of the vast number of people that can be placed in a small space. When we speak of mill ions of men, we are apt to picture to ourselves an almost boundless mass of humanity ; yet a millfcm ot people stand ing together, each pfetson occupying four square feet, could be placed on a patch but little more than a mile square. A square mile will accommodate 7,965,000. The whole 'population ol the United States would hardly cover two and a half miles square, and the population off the entire vVotld cotlld he easily accommoda ted on a tract twelve miles wide—less in extent than 6ome townships. What Ei-sk Wii-l Science .')o ?—A remarkable photograph of the iikKßi has been received at the Paris observatory, from Signor Melendez, a Spanish photo grapher. The Paris Journal which calls attention to the photograph, states that Melendez invented an adjnnet to his ap paratus, which enabled him to obtain a remarkable picture, shewing mountains and volcanoes upon the siirface of the moon, and indicating forests of huge trees now pertrified. The picture nat nally attracts much attention. - ——♦ They never use a bulletin board on the Worchesler Press.

To the Democrats party of Georgia : Kki.low Citizknh—Tin? Democratic Executive Committee of this Slate, in ils meeting held in this city on the 25th ultimo, made it my duty, as chairman, to issue an address to emhodyiug the views of (lie committee on the subj'Ct of parly organization, unity and activity, exp res sed in t lie following resolution adopted by them : Resolved , That, recognizing the ne cessity of organization as an important condition of large success, we exhort the Democfady of each county in the State to look carefully and promptly to thorough organization, establishing a system where it ffrifjr be wanting, and perfecting it where it now exists, and that the chair niau or secretary of such orgnnizuttion be requested to make report to the score tary of the committee without umieees. sary delay. Resolved, That we consider party uni ty to be of prime importance, and'we do earnestly deprecate all independent can daey. -Resolved, That we do bespeak that activity of the party which the political issues justify and demand, confidently recommending in connection therewith the continuance of a jast abd honorable conduct toward political opponents. The propriety and wisdom of there resolutions will be readily by every . ight thinking mind, and com mend them to the approval of every true Democrat in the State. Ihe importance of the political issues which are involved in the campaign upon which we have' en tered, caftnot he over esteemed. I\o fiieiid of good government can view with unconcern, the total disregard of the constitution which lias characterized the administration of the Republican party for the last eleven years. No lover of his cpunlt y * rwJ w l .“r“ *“‘|dne. ness or indifference, whilst the i-.lionl party, with a step as steady as lime, is undermining the foundations upon which our political system was built, destroy ing every right that belongs to I lie State and driving the country, headlong, into a corrupt consolidation, and a central ized despotism. No man who loves vir tue, or honesty, or truth, can fail lo experience a just moral indignation at the abuses, frauds, wrongs and crimes that have been heaped upon the people of the United States by Republican of fice-holders, of every class, and in every department of the government. I speak to you, my fellow citizens, in all frankness when I declare that ,it the Republican party shall continue to con trol and administer the government un der which we Jive, in t my judgment, constilutdoml liberty is at an end, and the glory of our country's excellency will be lost in the night of. .usurpation, tyranny and despotism. Such are the views and sentiments of the best patriots and wisest statesmen ot the present day, and such were the views and sentiments that prompted our Dem ocratic brethren, who assembled iu na tional conventional St. Louis. Missouri, to promulgate a platform that begins, continues and ends with a patriotic de mand for purification and reform in every thing and every place connected with the government and its administration. Ap preciating the stern and absolute neces sities ot the times, these heroic Demo crats placed upon that platform a candi date tor President whose ent're public history has been a gallant and sriocess fit] struggle against official corruption and fraud, and in favor ot reform and honesty in the government of the State, whose political and financial affairs were confided to his management. Sam uel J. Tilden, of New York, is political reform and official “honesty “manjfVht; iu the flesh." The principle of purity in office- holders arml honesty in (tie ad ministration of government, find in him a "living and powerful incarnation. He is a standard-bearer whose leadership in spires hope, and perpetuate the liberties of the people. With lilden at its head, the triumph of the Democratic party in November next will mean the const?-,i lion prest rved ; the government rescued from centralism ; sectional hate obiitef aled; peace re-established between 1 tht North and South ; equal and exact jus tice meted out to aifmen.-of all classes ; church and State totally separated ; pop ular education, freed from all preference for sects, classes or creeds; the suprem acy of the civil over the military power mainiatued ; the substitution of honesty i fiji- dishonesty in office-holders > the* abolition of every useless office; a soun der and bettor currency provided for the people ; a jusler and wiser tariff than we now have; government <xpcn dittoes diminished dud public economy enforced ; capital freed from distrust and and labor disburdened and employed ; the public credit restored and Ihe na tional honor reburnished and maintained; oommereo and trade revived and made profitable industries ami manufactures re.energized, and the entire land bright med with peace and prosperity again. All thesejiolideal and'social blessings are in store lor the people of these Urn led States, if in th is moincfittftts crisis they shall prove true to themselves and true to the obligations of an enlightened patriotism. In a time like this, lot no Democrat hesitate or waver in the the dis charge of his duty. Let neither person al interests nor selfish ambition produce confusion in our i amp or cause disorder in our lines. Let the party ho well or ganized in every county Jin..the Stale, and let every Democrat stand by the organization and its candidates through woe as well as weal. Doing bretheren of a common political faith, let us not antagonize or make war on each other, but let us contend with manly earu< st ness for our priucipales, and strive only against our enemies. True to her sub lime faith, and faithful to her high inis ston, let the Democratic party move gnftdly up to (lie Contest with an mi broken line, presenting to her enemies and to the world the invincible buckler of a compact fftfd organiza tion. Let us labor With sleepless diligence and tireless industry to bring every Democratic voter to the polls, and by every means consistent with a just and honerable conduct toward our political enemies,'let us induce, if posible, every lover of constitutional liberty and good government to unite with ns, giving to our candidates for Governor, Legislators, Congressmen, President and Vice Presi dent such a unanimous and overwhelm ing vote that the-very name -of rad icalism will he lost, and that the places ; isMU now Know n win Know lino more tor- With high respect, I am your fellow citizen, Guo. N. Lkstrk, Chairman State Executive Committee. The Wiese and ir>& People. The Press of the country at no time wielded a more powerful influence than it does to-day. But we may well ask, is this strong hold upon the popular will ami confidence likely to continue. There can be no doubt bfft that the gen I oral demoralization which pervades the ! country has not spared the profession of | journalism but has given an elasticity to its ‘ethics’ that must result in damage to its influence and respectability. Just so soon as t lie neople begin to believe that the editoral columns of tbc news papers are for sale—that the opinions ol editors are thrown upon the luirket like so much merchandise, just so soon will the profession sink to a degree ot absolute uselessness, causes have combi ned to cause a downward tendency in journalism.—The financial stringency that rest* upen the country, the great competition in ilie business the tendency of the people to encourage all manner of ‘wild cat’ concerns, giving patronage to foreign houses that should be bestowed upon the legal office, the immense amo unt of gratuitous advertising sought from the papers under the plea that the col umns must be filled with something, See.., ail combine to detract from the profits of the publishffr, and render him more inclined to strain his ‘ethics’ rather be yond the legitimate limit when the ex panttrbrt will bring him the ‘wherewith to meet his unpaid bills. It is easier to contaminate t' an purity—we are more prone to decend from the present. stan dard ot journalistic honor and purify’ than to go tip higher. To accomplish the latter, will require th united efforts of the profession and the people. Let the peoole demand a higher order of joui i alism, n jit- H heir dm, and by a more liberal pationage, The Press in # turn slionld spare no effort to become 1 the ined’um through which every evil I mffy bo averted.

A printer sal in Ins office chair, his boots wore patched his N\il thread-bore, while his face look wfthi and weary with care; while sadly thinking of bus iness ftfld. debt, old Mondieus slowly crept around him crept, and before he know it he soundly slept; and sleeping, he dreamed that.ho was lead, tiom trouble and toil his spirit had Ikd, and that not even a cow-hide sole, As lie wandered among the shades thru smoke and scorch ill the lower Hades, he shortly observed an iron door that crockingly hung on hinges ajar but the entrance was closed by a red hot bar, and Satan himself stood peeping out watching for travelers thereabout, and with growling voice the echoes woke: “Come in, my dear, it shall cost you nothing, and nev er fear; this is the place where I cook the ones who never pay their subseip tion sums, for though in life they tnry (•scape they will find when dead is too late: I will show yo.i the place where I melt them thin with red hoi chains and scrapts of tin, and also where 1 comb their heads with bffdtfc’n glass and melt ed lend and it of refreshments they otdy think, there’s boiling water for them to drink; there’s the red hot grind-stone to grind down his nose, and red-hot rings for him to wear on his toes mil it they mention they don’t like fire. I’ll sew up their moths With red hot wire, and then, dear sir, you would see then) squirm while ! roll them over and cook to a turn." With these last words the printer awoke, and although its ail a practical joke; but suit at times so real did it seem, that he cannot believe it was all a dream, with *a chuck’e and a grin, of the fate of those who save their tin, iir.il never pay the printer. Now, do’.iaqnems, you know wlint your fate will he il you don't pay what you owe if*. Hato Not. It is not worth uhi'c, Your life is not long enough to cherish ill-will or hard thoughts towards any one. What if that man has cheated you ; or that woman has played you false ? what if this friend has forsaken you in your time of need, or that one, having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has concluded that ho or she prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger 1 Let it all pass. What difference will it make to you in a few years, when you go hence W flint undiscovered country. All who treat you wrongly now will be more sorry for it then than yon, Oven in your deepest disappointtaefit and grief, can he. A few more Smiles, a few more tears, some pleasure, much pain, a little longer hurrying and worrying in tire world, some hast y greetings find abrupt farewells, and life will be over, and the mjiirer and injured will be laid away, and ere long lorgotten. Is it worth while to hate each other ? A prize of SSOO is offered by the Georgia Slate Agricultural Soviety iqr a preventive or cure for hog cholera and another ot S4(JO for chicken cholera.
