*> 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.

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.

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.
