Life g sands are running fast away, The bouyant step of youth haß gone, The falling haii is turning gray. And time seems now to hurry on More fleetly than in days of yore. Before tbe heart became its prey, Before ’twas saddened to the core, Before the hair was turning gray. Yes, turning gray ! age comes like snow Ah’ still, and carves each caruuorn line ; Its wrinkles on the brow will grow, The hair with silvery streaks will shine. The eyes their brightness lose, tbe hand Grow d~y and tremolous and thin ; For life, alas, is quickly spanue ', And death its gates soon closes in I Ah, turning gray ! we fain would hi le. This sign how long with time W ve been ; Those deepened wrinkles side by side Cut by the sorrows we have seen. For feeble beats the heart as years More quickly cluster on our head As Autumn raindrops hang like tears On some fair flower that’s nearly dead. Like perished petals from the flower Our hopes and wildest joys are laid, Born only for a day or honr, Sweet gambols by the fancy played. As age comes on we long for rest, As saints near shrines will long to pray ; Buts: ill we love that time the best Before the hair was turning giay ! The military demonstration of the con spirators at Washington ngainst the right of suffrage has occasioned moro alarm in the public mind than wa6 ever before ex j cited by any act of despotic power ever perpetrated by any despotic King. The miserable pretense that Federal soldiers are required to protect the returning board of any State from violence, only adds insult to injury, for where no crime is contemplated no fear of puuisliment need be apprehended. The guilty wretches who, at the bidding ol their corrupt masters, are willing to change the returns in Louisitna, South Carolina and Florida, from a legal majority lor Tilden to a fraudulent one for Ilayes, know very well that it ‘they succeed in committing the outrage they will raise a storm of indignation among the people, the consequences ot which no human hand can avert. This ; s no longer a mere question of party supremacy. It is not simply whether Tilden or Hayes snail be President of the United Sta’es. Tbe issue has passed far beyond the mere tansi nt strnggleof parties or partisans, and has resolved into the most moment ous question that ever was presented to a free people for their decision. If the present designs of the great conspirators are'carried into effect and approved by the American people, then free represent lative government in the United States is at an end, and the foulest and most filthy military despositism the world ever saw will be established on the ruins of the republic. Theie is not a single one of the Republican leaders who honestly believes in the necessity of the ext.ieme measures recently inaugurated, except tor the pnrpase of declaring Hayes elec ted in direct opposition to the popular will. Every one of them knows that Tilden has been fairly chosen President, and that the people have decided that their corrupt dynasty shall pass away forever. For sixteen long aud dreary years they have ruled the government and perpetuated every infamy that was possible to be conceived. They robbed the nation with impunity, and never for a moment halted in their unbridled wick edness. They parceled out the public plunder among their hungry dependents and then attempted to destroy the rec ords ot their guilt and shame. And now, when the day of retribution has comp— when the people have reoolyed that new men shall take charge of the government they have gone one step further in crime, ard have boldly announced that they will deiy the sovereign will of the masses and treat a Presidential election as if it never had been helJ. And to accomplish this purpose—to aid them in them complete destruction of the elec tive franchise —they have summoned the assistance of Federal soldiers, and hope, by the help of bristling bayonets, to keep temsclves in power as long as the gov. eminent remains in existence. Whether bayonets or ballots shall rule is now the only issue, and no faishood or sophis. try can give it any other shape or color. This, freemen of America! is the groat and all-absorbing question ot the hour fairly stated, which every man who loves his country must qow examine for himself. It is one that comes home to every honest household, no matter what party predilections may there be ente:- tained, and without reference to what party interests may be affected by its decision. The weal or woe growing out ot iis settlement will be felt in thiscounr try by generations yet unborn.

Let the danger t hat encompass es us be fully undi rstood. Let us not blindly overlook the frightful peril ot the hour, unmistakably indicated by the warning temper of the times—the iron determination of the outraged masses not to be juggled with or swindled out of their inalienable rights—the irrevoc-* ble and unalterable resolve of the people not to permit a clearly fraudulent return to be recorded as a fair and honest vote —the apoalling consciousness rooted in every breast that there is something even uor e and more to be deplored than war or death.

MOTHER’S GRAVE. A Touching Tribute of Affection by a Little Orphan Girl. Out in the northwestern part of the city there is an old fire scarred building which stands as a mournful relic of a once happy home. It is said that the house itself has a his’cry which would be inter estiug if known, for it was onffe the the abode of love and prosperity, but the pitiless demon ot the wine cup breathed upon it aud blasted its beauty forever. The history of every oily, however, is too full of such incidents to claim the special attention of mankind. When the sad tale is first brought to notice, perhaps a regret will spring up, but it soon dies and is buried deep beneath the load of dead hopes of which every heart is tbe sepulchre. The world would never have known ot the existence of this shattered old cottaire had not a gentleman, who live# in tha vicinity, stopped the llerald representative and told him ot a touch ing little incident which the charred old walls witnessed a short lime ago. The house was so small and the weeds and gress around it so rank and tall that the passer-by would scarcely notice it, for the blackened beams and rafters are barely visible above the uncut groweth. One day a little lame girl, who is well known in the vicinity of the old house, discovered a slender plant of the month ly rose variety, which had grown up within the old walls from a root or seed cast by chance in the rich mold, strug gling feebly against the choking grass for its exiiistonce. The litilj girl found the stunted bush and her eyes filled with joy. Her father’s grave, into which the fierce flame ot his appetite and maddened despair had hurried him, was in a distant land ; and her heart broken mother rest ed in Prospect Hill. The little girl was alone in the world, and lived with a queer old couple, whoa* heart* felt kind ly toward the little o-phan; bat they saw nothing more in a rose than they would in a common weed. It was sev eral weeks ago when the gentleman's at tention was attracted to the old house by the regular visits of the little orphan cripple, and, filled with curioaity, he watched when she entered ths crumbling walls, and saw her tenderly care fot the shrub, as it it were a being endowed with the same feeling' and emotions which throbbed in her own breaat. Day by day the little orphan watched the bush. When the wind moaned loudly she trembled with fear, lest it should in jure it; and when ,fae rain drops fell, she hoped they would not strike the leaves 100 ha shly. No watcher on the wall of a besieged city* was ever more faithful j j and vigilant; no death-bed nurse wa ever more lender and constant. A bw weeks ago she found a bui on ihe bindi and her joy was most extravagant. She lore away the boards that hid it from the sunshine, and stop the craoks in the crazy wall to keep out the rude, north ern blasts. A week ago the bud had swollen and was almost, ready to burst out into a deep, rich, red velvety rose, and she Went home happy to think that on the morrow there woo'd he the por ted flower as a reward for her careful, tender care. But that night Ihe frost was unusually severe ; thin ice formed on the water, and when the little cripple girl went to the house, her heart all ag low with expectant joy, she found the frost had been there before her, and the hall opened bud was drooping, head downward, on its blackened stem. But she carefully plucked the limp and faded beauty, and that evening people driving to Prospect Hill in the chill October air, saw a little lame child tenderly drop u deep red rosebud on one of the graves fliat, was marked by nothing save a little wooden slab, upon which was painted in rude, childish characters, “m-o-t-h-e r;” no other ornament, no ether flower. It sank away in the dry grass, and sparkled and shone like a star ot right, and when a tear of the child fell upon it, its lustre was like that of a diamond. For days and weeks she had watched over and tended the flower for the grave over which no marble cast its shadow—a a grave so like thousands of others, that only love could have told the child that a mother’s heart was tuolderiug there.— Omaha Herald. Advertisement. The Sandersville Herald declares ihai the following is a verbatim copy ol an advertisement found posted on the doer of a country 6tore not twenty-five miles from Sandersville: Fronds an J Neighbors: Having just opened a commodious shop for the sale of ‘Liquid Fire,’ I embrace this early oo portunity of intorming you that, on Sat urday next, I shall commence the business ot making drunkards, paupers and beg- 3 > lor 111,. u/.her i iwt not riniia nnrl rA spectable portion of the coimuuu'ty to support. 1 shall deal in “familiar spirits’ which will excite men to deeds of riof, robbery and blood ; and, by so doing, diminish the comforts, augment tlie expenses, and endanger the welfare of the communi ty. I will undertake, at a short notice, for a small sum, and with great expedition, to prepare victims for the asylums, the poor houses, the prisons and the gallows. I will furnish an article which will in ciease the number of l.ital accidents, mu'tiply the number of distressing dis eases, and render those which are harm less incurable. I slirll deal in drugs which will deprive some ot life, many of reason, most of property, and all of peace; which will cause the fathers to become fiends, wives widows, children orphans, and all mendi cants. I will cause many of the rising gener ation to grow up in ignorance, and prove a burden and nuisance lo the nation. I will cause mothers to forget their ofl spring, and cruelty to take the place of love. I will sometimes even corrupt minis ters of religion, obstruct the progress ot the gospel, defile the purity of the church, and cause temporal, spiritual and eternal death ; and if any should be so impertinent as to sk why I have the audacity to bring such accumulated mis ery upon a comparatively happy people, my honest reply is, money. The Spirit Trade is lucrative, and some professing Christians give it their cheerful contenanee. I have a license; and if I do not bring these evil upon you somebody else will. I live in a land ot Liberty l purchased the right to demolish the character, destroy the health, shorten the life and ruin the souls cf those who choose to honor me with their custom. I pledge my self to do all I have herein promised.
