THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: OCTOBER 17, 1876.
Our CJaildfatoocL
BT eBOROS p. ntEXTICB.
’Tis sad and sweet to listen t
To the soft wind's gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Oar childhood knew so well;
To gaze out in the even
And boundlesss fields of air.
And feel again our boyhood’s wish
To roam like angels there.
There ore many dreams of gladness
That cling around the post,
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts coma-thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
, K \
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this;
Whose dark, soft eyea seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
• O'er brows, so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like sunshine
In the springtime of the yepr—
Like the changeful gleams of April,
They followed every tear—
They have passed—like hopes—sway,
And their loveliness has fled;
Ob, many a heart is mourning
That they are with tho dead i
like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen with the stem:
Yctoh! it ia a lovely death
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beau’iful
Are passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast
Like the tendril clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest!
And we can but think of these,
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o’er us
And tho flowers are blossoming;
And wo know that winters coming,
With his cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round us
is budding but to die!

Augusta, Ua., Oct. 10, ’76.
Editor Northeast Georgian: The
mighty wave of enthusiasm, resistless
as the mountain torrent iu its head
long course, still rolls O’er the plains
of noble old South Carolina, bearing
aloft in triumph upon its erest,
“ Hampton and Reform.”
The Democracy of Aiken county,
on last Saturday, held a large arid
enthusiastic meeting at Schultz Hill,
about two miles from our city ; many
person from Augusta went over, and
seemed much impressed with the de
termination manifested by the people
of our oppressed sister State to rid
themselves of the horde of miscreants,
who for these many years have fed
upon their very vitals. On this occa
sion, forty negroes enrolled their
names as members of the Democratic
Club. Chamberlain has issued a most
infamous proclamation ordering tho
Rifle Clubs to disband, declaring the
State to be in a condition of anarchy
and rcbelion, but the Democratic
State Committee have obtained cer
tificates from the Radical Judges of
the different circuits, which, in effect,
gives Chamberlain the direct lie; as
the Clubs arc chartered by the Legis
lature, he cannot well disband them
—they, however, are almost com
pelled to keep up their organization,
as in them lies their only safeguard
against the negroes, who, being well
armed with Government guns, unless
awed by force, have ever been guilty
of the greatest excesses. The election
of Hampton is regarded as being al
most certain, and many claim that if
the State goes fbr him, that Tildcn
Trill also necessarily be its choice.
Our newspaper war catne near cul
minating, last week, in a duel; the
affair was, however, amicably ar
ranged, and now peace reigneth su
preme in the camps of our two dailies.
Old Kiahmond gave Colquitt one
thousand and five hundred majority,
and elected the non\ineea of the
Democracy to the Legislature. Not
any great degree of interest was
manifested on account of tlic weak
ness of the Republicans.
Onr community was electrified sev
oral days ago, by the announcement
of the suspension of our Postmaster,
C- H. Prince, and tho appointment of
Gen. Lafayette McLaws to the office.
Much, satisfaction is expressed at the
appointment of the gallant General.
: The quarantine against Savannah
and Charleston has not yet been dis*
. continued, but all apprehensions of
fever have subsided..; One of our.
fectibn to scatter disease and death
broadcast throughout the limits of
our devoted city.
We would recommend all your
readers visiting Augusta, and who
desire to spend a pleasant hour, to
pay our Library a call. This institu
tion, under the able management of
Mr. Derry, the efficient Superintend
ent, has been much improved; be is
very courteous .and obliging to
strangers, and always extends to
them a most cordial welcome.
Our citizens are once again becom
ing cheerful, as cotton is being re
ceived in large quantities, which, in
a great measure, relieves the heavy
financial pressure that has been bear
ing so [ heavily upon our merchants
for many months past. Trade is re
viving, employment is being afforded
to many who have been idle for
months, aud consequently, all arc
disposed to look once again upon the
bright ride of the picture. Many, if
not all of the huge Guano corpora
tions, which have, since the war, made
sncli immense sums from the sale of
their fertilizers, have suffered very
serious losses this season on account
of the low price of cotton. Their cash
price ^average) was forty-eight dol
lars ; on time, sixty dollars; cotton
option at fifteen cents per pound;
thus expecting to derive from its sale
sixty dollars; but as cotton brings
only ten cents, for tho four hundred
pounds, they receive but forty dol
lars, thus causing an actual ioss of
20 j>er cent, oil the net cash price.
We were glad to see that the peo
ple of Clarke county showed such a
marked appreciation of Dr. Carlton
by electing him by such a handsome
majority, and x by doing, so express at
the same time the moist thorough
condemnation of a mischievous prac
tice that is becoming entirely too
frequent, viz: Independent candida
cy. More anon. Cuseti.
“ Yes, I do.”
“Well, you’ll .be going for York
State, if you don’t look out;”
“ I’d like to see myself.’?.
“Look out, Nancy.’’
“ I’m afraid, of no man that lives.
Richard Tlirocton.”
“I’ll leave you.”
“ And I’ll laugh to see you go.”
1 Going up close to her he extended
his finger, shook it to einpasizc his
words, and slowly said :
• “Nancy Throcton, I’ll apply for a
divorce to-morrow. I’ll tell the judge
that I kindly and lotingly asked you
where the gimlet was, and ypu said
we’d never had oue, which iajabold
falsehood, as I can prove.”
,f Gimlet,” she gasped- H
“ Yes, gimlet.”
“ Why, I know where there are
three or tour. You said corkscrew.
“ Did I ?” he gasped, sitting down
on the corner of the table. “-Well,
now, I believe I did.”
“.And ypu went and abused me like
a slave because I wouldn’t say a gim
let was a corkscrew,” she sobbed,
falling on the lounge.
“ Nancy,’’ he said, tenderly lifting
her up.
“ Oh, Richard!” she chokingly
auswered,
“Nancy, I’ll go right out of doors
and kill myself”
“No, you needn’t—I love you
still!—only—only—you know a gim
let is not a corkscrew.’’
“ It ain’t—it ain’t Naucy ; tor-
gimme, and less be happy.”
And that household is so quietly
happy that a canary bird would sing
its head off if hung up,in the hall.

A Connubial Controversy.
The bolt on tho back door had
needed repairs for a long time, but it
was only the other night that Mr.
Throcton had the presence of mind
to buy a new one and take it home.
After supper lie hunted up his tools,
removed the old bolt and measured
the location for the new one. He
must bore some new holes, and Mrs.
Throcton heard him roaming about
the kitchen and woodshed, slamming
doors, pulling out drawers and kick
ing the fumitnre around. She went
to the head of the stairs and called
out:
“ Richard, do you want anything?”
“ Yes, I do!” he yelled back, “ I
want to know where in Texas is that
cork-screw.”
“ Corkscrew, Richard ?”
“Yes, corkscrew, Richard! I’ve
looked the house over and can’t find
it.”
“ Why, we never liaid one, Rich
ard.”
“ Didn’t eh ? We’ve had a dozen
of ’em in the last two years, and I
bought one not four weeks ago. It’s
always the way when I want any
thing” ’ v

“ Oh, yes, I’m out of my head, I
am,” he grumbled, as lie palled out

better go to tho lunatic asylum right

Had no Fun in Him.
One of the members of the Mctho*
dist Conference, recently’ held here,
was out for a walk at aiu
one morning, and while, t
street he encountered is
big fellow, who was drawing a wagon
to tho blacksmith <lmp t 1 , y
“ Catch hold here and l;e‘p mo
down to the shop with this wagon,
and I’ll bny the whisky!” called the
big fellow.
“ I never drink,” solemnly replied
the good man.
“ Well you can take a cigar.”
“ 1 never smoke,”
The man dropped the wagon-ton*
gue, looked hard at the member, and
asked:
“ Don’t yon chew ?”
“ No, sir,” was the decided reply
“You might get mighty lonesome,”
mused the teamster.
“I guess I am all right—I feel
first rate.”
“ I’ll bet you even that I can lay
you oil your back,” remarked the
teamster. “ Come now, let’s warm
up a little.”
“ I never bet.”
“Well, let’s us take each other
down for fun, theu. Yon are as big
as I am, and I’ll give you the nnde r
hold.”
, “ I never have fun,” solemnly ans
wered the member.
“ Well, I am going to tackle you
anyway. Here we go!’’
The teamster slid up and endeavor*
ed to get a neck hold, but he . had
only just commenced to fool about,
when lie .was lifted clear of the grass
and slqmmed against a tree-box with
such force that he gasped three or
four times before he could get h's
breath.
“Now you keep away from me!’*
exclaimed the minister, picking up
his caue.
“Bust me ifl don’t!” replied the
