BY BAYARD TAYLOR. “Give us a song ! ” the soldiers cried, The outer trenches guarding, When the heated guns of the camp allied Grew weary of bomba-ding. The dark Redan in silent scoff Lay grim aud threatening under; And the tawny mound of the Malakoff No longer belched its thunder. There was a pause. A guardsman said : “We storm the forts to-morrow ; Sing while we may, another day Will bring enough oi sorrow.” Then lay along the battery’s side, Below the smoking cannon, Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde, And from the banks of Shannou. They sang of love, and not ol fame ; Forgot was Briton’s glory ; Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang, “Annie Laurie.” Voice after voice caught up the song Uatil its tender passion Rose like an anthem, rich and strong— Their battle eve confession. Dear girl, her name he dared not speak, But, as the song grew louder, Something upon the soldier’s check Washed off the stains of powder. Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunset’s embers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers. And once again a fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters, With stream of shot and burst oi shell, And bellowing of the mortars ! And Irish Nora’s eyes arc dim For a singer dumb and gory ; And English Mary mourns for him Who sang of “Annie Laurie.” Sleep, soldiers! still iu houored rest Your truth and valor wearing; The bravest are the lenderest— The loving are the daring. A GOLDEN WEDDING. For some time the stewards of the M. E. Church, at Rome, have been making preparations for the celebra tion of the golden wedding of their pastor, Dr. J. E. Evans, and his wife, Parmelia Mays Evans. Last night was the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of this aged couple, and a great number of persons assembled at the parsonage to witness the cere mony of the golden wedding. The parsonage was beautifully decorated throughout with flowers, and in the parlor there was suspended the golden marriage belL It was beau tiful in design, and under it the cou ple stood during the short and ap propriate addresses delivered hi’ the Revs J. T. Gihson and G. A. Nun nelly. No young couple standing at the altar to be joined together as man and wife, ever looked happier than did these two persons standing under the golden bell. The orange blossoms which adorned the fair brow of Parmelia Mays, when, fifty years ago she promised to love, cherish and obey her husband, are still fresh, and the kiss imprinted on her lips by her husband at the conclusion of the interesting ceremony, was as affec tionate as the first kiss oi love. Ma ny were the congratulations by friends and relatives. A great many presents were sent in, both by friends at a distance and at home. After par taking heartily of sumptuous re freshments, the guests departed with the sincere wish that the couple may live to celebrate their diamond wed ding.— Borne Courier . Tne Atlanta Constitution says: “Judge John D. Cunningham who lives at West End, put into his fish pond about eighteen months ago, a dozen and a half of German carp, not more than two inches long. He has three ponds, one above the other, and he put th 9 carp in the upper pond. On last Satulday he drew off the lower pond, and was surprised to find a very large carp iu the pond. There was only one. It must have escaped from the upper pond. The judge has it in the basin of his foun tain in his front yard, and it is a great curiosity. It weighs four pounds and is a very fine looking fi*h. In the pond that was drawn off the Judge had some fine trout not more than half as long as the carp. The trout had been in the pond seven years. Unless the ballanee of the carp have escaped from the Judge’s upper pond, he will have a full sup* ply in another year. The first steam vessel that ever crossed the Atlantic ocean was the Savannah, an American vessel sail ing under the American flag. She started from Savannah, Ga., for Liv erpool, England, on May 22, 1819, being the first passage by steam ever attempted. Shearrived in Liverpool oo June 22, having consumed her fuei in ten days. CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1881. USEFUL RECIPES. From “The Household.” Old potatoes may be freshened up by plunging them into cold water be fore cooking them. Never wash raisins that are to be used in sweet dishes. It will make the pudding heavy. To clean them with a dry towel. When anything is accidentally made too salt it can be counteracted by adding a teaspoonful of vinegar aod a teaspoonful of sugar. In boiling dumplings of any kind put them into the water one at a time. If they are put in together they will mix with each other. In boiling eggs hard, put them in boiling water ten minutes, and then put them in cold water. It will pre vent the yolks from coloring black. Potatoes at any time of the year can be made mealy if boiled in salt water and drained and then covered with a thick towel in the back of the range five minutes. Jelly molds should be greased with cold butter. When you wish to re move the jelly or pudding plunge the mold into hot water, remove quickly, and the contents will come out in perfect form and without any trouble. To wash red table linen use tepid water, with a little powdered borax (borax sets the color); wash the linen separately and quickly, using very little soap; rinse in tepid water con taining a little boiled starch ; hang to dry in the shade; iron when almost dry. Cutlets and steaks may be fried as well as broiled, but they must lie put in hot butter or lard. The grease is hot enough when it throws off a blackish smoke. Good flour is not tested by its color. White flour may not be the best. The test of good flour is the amount of water it absorbs. In cooking a fowl, to ascertain whether it is done, put the skewer into the breast, and if the breast is tender, the fowl is done. Sing’e rrpam is cream that Lae stood on the milk twelve hours. It is the best for tea and coffee. Double cream stands on the milk twenty four hours, and cream for butter frequent ly stands forty-eight hours. Cream that is to whipped should not be but ter cream, lest in whipping it should change to butter To remove old paint, cover with a wash of three parts quick stone lime, slaked in water to which one part of pearlash is added. Allow the coating to remain for sixteen hours, when the paint may be easily scraped off. Iron or steel immersed in a solution of carbonate of potash or soda for a few minutes will not rust for years, not even when exposed to a damp atmosphere. A thin coat of varnish applied to straw’ matting will make it much more durable and keep the matting looking fresh aud new. White var nish should be used on white mat-* ting. Use skim milk for washing oil cloths, instead of soap and water. Poor flour should never be bought for bread; the best is the cheapest. Pans for wheat bread should be greas ed very lightly, either with butter or lard ; for rye, Indian or graham, they must greased more thoroughly, as the dough clings to the pans more. Bread or anything containing much starch should be eaten slowly. A crust of French bread eaten very slowly at the beginning of a meal of ten im proves the appetite of deln-ate people. Boiled fowl Withs tuce over which grate the yolk of eggs, is a magnifi cent dish for luncheon. Thp reason why c tbbage emits such a disagreeable smell when boiling, is because the process dissolves the es sential oil. The water should be changed when the cabbage is half boiled, and it will thus acquire a greater sweetness. To make macaroni tender, put it in cold water and bring ir. to boil. It will then be much more tender than if put into hot water or stewed in milk. In making sauce, put the butter and flour in together, aud the sauce wilt never be lumpy. The yolk f eggs binds the crust much better tnau the whites. Apply it to the edges with a brush. Whenever the sauce boils from the sides of the pans you may know the flour or corn starch is done. Beeswax aod so l l wid m.k fl. rous as clean stud smooth as gi •>. Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot rub them with the wax rag, then scour with a paper or rag sprin kled with salt. Black cotton gloves will not crock the hands if scalded in salt and wa ter before wearing. The salt pre vents fading. When almost dry, one should put them on, in order to stretch them and keep them in good shape. Housekeepers will find that zincs may be scoured with great economy of time and strength by using either glycerine or creosote mixed with a little diluted sulphuric acid. Glue frequently cracks because of the and ryness of the air in rooms warm ed by stoves. An Austrian paper recommends the addition of a little chloride of calcium to glue to pre vent this. Chapping of the hands, which is oue of the most disagreeable incon veniences of cold weather, can be easily prevented by rubbing the hands with powdered starch. You will not be troubled with car pet moths, if you scrub your floors with hot brine before tacking the carpet down, and once a week scrub your carpets with coarse .salt. A certain cure :or a felon is to wind a cloth loosely about the finger, leaving the end free. Pour In com- j mort gunpowder till the afflicted part is entirely covered. Keep the whole wet with strong spirits of camphor. To remove grease stains from wood: Spread some starch powder over tne grease spots, and then go over it with a hot flat-iron till you have drawn the grease; then scrape with a glass or a proper scraper, and re peat the starch powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor may be used as a finish, if the starch does not take all the grease out. Steel knives may be saved from rusting by being rubbed with mutton tallow, wrapped in paper, and put into a blaize lined chest. The water used in mixing bread must be tepid. If it is too hot, the loaf will be full of great holes. To boil potatoes successful!} 7 : When the skin breaks, pour off the water and let them finish cooking in their own steam. In making a crust of any kind, do not melt the iard iu flour. Melting will injure the crust. Manistee, Mich* John B. EDISON’S ELECTRIC LIGHT. Edison says the electric light, upon which he has been working so long, is now perfected in all its branches It will now be given to the public. Everything is in readiness for its general use. The light is to be intro duced in Newark, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Cincinnati and Washington. As to New York, he is reported in the £"n as saying : “The trouble here is that we are awaiting the permission of common council to lay down our wires. We had a resolution before the old board, but through political squabbles the board ran out of existence before ac tion could be taken. The new coun cil has at last been organized, and been broken up into committees, and permission to lay down our wires will probably be sought at the next meeting. Some of our directors an ticipate trouble in obtaining the re quired permission, but I trunk time will demonstrate (heir mistake. We claim to be public benefactors. We offer the householders a cheaper and better light than gas,and pledge our selveto put in all the fixtures and to furnish the light for a specified time free of charge, and to remove it if it is do! satisfactory ’’ Mr. J. H. 8-'‘ocke.r, who lives on the Blmjiitvilb road, si me four miles west of Bri tol, has a daughter, Miss Fannie, who is about 17 years old. Last fad he told her she might sell the butter she made over what tin* family used. Miss Fannie went to work with a will, arid saved some 200 pounds of butter, and fattened two hogs on the extra buttermilk, and made about S6O or S7O of pin motiey. Such a girl is a jewel.

THE LANGUAGE OF SWEET SIXTEEN. “A word fitly spoken,” says the proverb, “is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” There is a eu phony of language that is the rhythm of speech, and it transforms ordinary words into flashing gems of thought. At present the happy medium of ex pression is lost sight of in two ex tremes which mark the age. One is known as the Higher Cult. Its vo taries carry lotus lillies in their pale, thin hands, have a sad, faraway look in their hollow eyes and are intense. What is that? We do not know, neither do they, unless it is to have a craze about spelling all words begin ning with C with a capital K. learn ing the delirium of old china, and analyzing Tyrian dyes They artic ulate, respond and affirm, but never talk. The commonest thing any member of that aesthetic band ever says is, when posed before some graven image set up on a black velvet back ground, the worshipper of Japan tea pots murmurs, “This is too utterly sweet !” The next extreme is that the fair leminine youth of America, in this and other cities, who have orig inated a language of their own or as a true exponent of their system would call it a “s’language” which is used in their clique circles, but not in the bosoms of their families or within ear shot of a parent or teacher. iK My daughter never uses slang,” says some staid paterfamilias, who is denouncing the idea that the Ameri can young lady speak* any other than the purest college-taught English, and he is sincere iu his belief. But should some curious senior, with an e;e to the truth, linger near this young lady and her school friends, ten to one this is an exact and not overdrawn description of what he would heat: “Meet roe on the aye’ this aft’ and we will go to the aiat’.” “No! not this aft’ on the “ Well, good aft!” “I had a perfectly mag’ time, and don’t you forget it.” “Don’t give me away, Kate.” “Well, I should softly exclaim.” “I shou and blu h to murmur.” “I should remark.” “I should mutter.” “I should smile.” “Are you going to the mus.cale ?” “Yf u just bet I am.” “Have you got your lesson in i ) hysira! geogre p by?” “What do you take me for?” “I told the Guv’ I wanted anew handkerchief dress.” “Did he tumble to the racket?” “Did he trail?” “Did he catch on?” “He forked over, girls, and its my treat.” These are the sweet girl graduates who stand up in the month of roses and read charming essays cn “The Real and the Ideal,” “Life as it should be,” “Reforms” and other practical subjects and who turn from admiring teachers to whom they have listened with tear.: in their mock-se rious eyes, to say in a low aside, “He’s giving ua taffy, girls,” and who cristen everything that does not please them as “snide.” This period of slang among achool girls is infectious. They catch it just as they did the measles or the whoop ing cough at an earner age, and it runs its course and leaves them about as harmlessly. Their good, proper mothers and grandmothers said all their lives, ‘will you tske walk?” The “Dare-to-be-a Da del” of ( h<s age says to her chum “take a crawl on the sve? ( ’ After all, it is not a matter for prayers or legislation, but rather a cheapening of tnes ciety idioch-s of u more exalted type, which Punch caricatures. “rio ghul to see you, Mr. Brown.” “So glad you’re glad, Mrs. Smith.” ‘ So glad you’re glad I’m glad. Mr t Brown,” etc., etc. There is more slang than seose in nur universal salutation, which lakes the form of an inquiry “How and you do?” The literal answer to which would be; “D > wha;?” The irrelevant r-spouse to which is usually, “nicely,” ot “I'm very w and, ihunk you.” Tie ver ! • i?' tf i>! bt g • u. le of so* neat u u • - o : “Are you going Ur?” . “No, not far.” “How far?” “Only to the ear.” “T -t. ” , Su • t til. Lx uL FOREPAUGH’S PRIZE BEAUTY. A correspondent or the Cincinnati Enquirer writes the following? from Monongahela City, Penn: The re ception of the intelligence in this prosy little town that Adam Fore paugh had chosen from among sev eral thousand photographs of beau tiful American women that of Misa Annie Pauline Scott, of Monongabela City, as being the nearest approach to ideal perfection in form and feature, has caused a buzz and ripple of ex citement. The offer of Mr. Fore paugh, it will ba remembered, was SIO,OOO to the most beautiful, woman iu America, and it was his design that she should reign as queen of beauty in hia traveling circus. Your correspondent deeming that a de scription of Miss Scott would be of interest, paid a visit to her, and, ex plaining that as she had entered into the arena as a professional beauty, begged leave to make a superficial examination of her claims to the title of the most beautiful woman, to which the lady laughingly assented. Now to the description: Miss Scott possesses a form tall and shapely. It is not the airy, fleecy, filmy, ethereal nothing that Olive Log&u ascribes to Sara Bernhardt, but a realistic, tan gible form. Her shoulders are rounded; her bosom is full and undu lating. and her waist symmetrical, filling her bodies nicely and seeming superlatively hugable. In carriage she is at once easy and graceful. , Her face in some respects reminds one of the late Adelaide Nei:son ; it in fair as the lillies, and the cheeks are tinged with a delicate, pearly pink. Her features ar strikingly regular and classical and of the gro eian type, save perhaps the nose, which curves gracefully from the aquiline, and ve gen upon what is generally termed the American fern* inine n;se. Her lips are full and ex pressive, of a bright Vermillion and when severed by h smile reveal double row of- teeth that are typical in their regularity and dazzling whiteness. Her eyes are large and full, of a dark brown color. With hue ms often as summer cloudy too, if for no other reason than they are so soft and shadowy. Her eyebrows are most delicately curved, and her long, sweeping eyelashes add in ten* sity and at times a half meianchody languor to the orbs over w teh ?• y keep senunel. Her h dr, whieu is long wavy *.'•■* bund-inf, Is of a glossy M>.ck, and possesses that silky texture which is such it pleasant contrast, to the usual dead ebony we so often meet. One cannot look at such hair, and see the golden sun shine rippling through it, like fairies playing at “bo-peep,” without re calling, by a singular association of ideas, Lizzie Hexam, the child of Dickens’ fancy. Altogether, Mias Scott is an ideal picture of fair femi ninity, gifted with glowing charms and robust. An artist for one of the Eastern illustrated papers visited this place a day or two ago and made a sketch of the young beauty from life. Your correspondent would like to stop right, there, but it won’t do. Miss Scott is the niece of John Ryan, a miner, and they abide in rather a dilapidated house. ALTERED TIMES. In the year 1671, on the second reading of a bili in the House of Com-, moos for building a bridge over the Thames, at Putney, af*er a number of members had delivered speech in ridicule of the idea, Sir Henry Herbert, ju-.t before the Houne divid ed, arose and said : “I honestly con-, fess myself an enemy to monopolies* I .un equally opposed to mad, vision nry project-?; and i may be permit ted to say that in the late Kind’s reign several of these ihoygbless in venti >o wt*rK thrust upon the House, out were most properly rejected.
