THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
A Convaleooont'o Chant.
rt won auamnos.
01 beantifal world, I cm Mill *11 thins own,
Though ftomthee my faint spirit wall nigh had flown;
I’ve loitered no cktss to the shadowy abort,
I could hear the troubled and terrible roar
Of the river that flow* to the Great Unknown.
01 beautiful world, I am bom once again
Fro the dark, diamal womb of disease and pain;
And thy welcoming »raile i»grateful to me
A* a uewly-made mother’* first smile can be;
Ah! truly, thy child baa not suffered in Tain.
O! beautiful world, amid all thyaweet oolma
E’en Paradise lore* u* In vain with its charms;
We feel that a Heaven i* waiting o* there,
But we Fame that the earth i* aurpa-aingly ftlr,
And so we ding to thee with unloosened arms.
O! beantifhl world, in aome dark day* gate by
I’ve seen the and time when I wished I amid die—
When love and the hopes that had rendered life bright
Seamed vanished and lost in tempestuous night;
But the tnem’ry bnng* me, to any, not a sigh.
O! beautifbl world, I forget not the ties
Which thou hast seen severed ’mid tears and ’mid
GRflNG DISSOLVED DONE!

My free, Joyous soul above all sorrow flies.
01 beautiful world, how I would that this joy
Might dwell with me ever, without any alloy;
Still, knowing that shadows may full soon arias
To dull toy new eplendor, which dazzle* my eyes;
To-day I am only a glad, heedless boy.

lion. U. ft. Grant, His Excellency ;
I Itcg your uiitiilion to a late hill passed 1
bv the Legislature of Georgia to let out con- j
victs to private individuals, such as railroad
contjmn es, who place overseers over them
who use them most brutally under the lasb
and staivatiou. Those men pay nothing to
the Stale for their services. Thev pretend
to clothe them and board them. Thi*, they j
do not do; and when one of them asks for fool,
he is stripped of hi* dm lies and Joshed till
the blood t tckles to hi* feet. Nirop-Hteg • f
you to send and have this thoroughly investi
gated, and in the name of humanity and
Ghristinnity, for God’s sake put a stop to this
human cruilty and minder. It has n< t
been long since one poor fellow was whipped
until he tell exhausted. They then drench
ed his body with water; then had two other
prisoner convicts rub his back with salt and
turpentine and next morning repeated tin-
same treatment until he fell and died in the
moet agonizing groans. President, his family,
as weu as hundreds of other*, are paying
•taxes to keep up this penitentiary, and Itave
tho poor wives and relatives of these unfortu
nate men to have these cruel acts performed
Jcder their eyes? O, God forbid! When
you remonstrate with them they will say you
are a yankee, using the most bitter epithets,
and threaten to assassinate you if you write
anything to the government against them.
President, I have done this under a threat of
making me leave the state; and nop I wish
to ask your excellency if there is not a law to
sustain honorable, law abiding citizens, and
to protect the unfortunate prisoner under the
mask of republicanism? Is this rebellious
conduct to to on, a disgrace to this honorable
body of politicians?
I* will dose, trusting you will hear thi-
from only one who does not fear to express
the truth before her Gud and man. Then
are others who would gladly do the same il
they were properly protected; their familie-
and property are at stake. May God help
the afflicted, and bring the guilty to a speedy
justice, is the prayer of the writer.
With honor, allow me to subscribe myself
your friend,
Mrs. L. J. Wasson.
