REMEMBERING HAPPIER THINGS.
‘‘A sorrow’s crown of sorrow is
Remembering happier things,”
The poet sadly says; but ah !
ll'mem’ry to us brings
No token Iromthe by-gone daj s,
No sweet refrain, or glen in
Of happier things, this life would be
lioredrear than we oan dream,
Could wc recall sad hours alone
And not the hours ot bliss—
The wreath from which the ,flow’rs> are
plucked.
And thorny crown were this.
Must we think only of sad things,
Remembering them alone,
With not an echo from the past
Of pleasure’s cheering tone?
All I uo, life then, and then indeed
It’s sorrow’s cro\yn \yeußLigear._.,
And solace in our woe !
It may be but a kindly glance,
Or sweet word utter’d low;
Cr tender touch of hands which stray
our pain-wrenched hearts among,
And tune to joyful strains the strings
Long broken and unstrung.
But oh ! let me recall them, they
Are atolls in the sea
Ot trouble, to which, when storm-tossed,
. Our hearts for rulugc flee.
Blest boon of sweet “rememo’ranee” that
A second life bestows,
Upon the happy things that were—
Like l’ossidonia’s rose
That puts forth from its dying heart
A fre.-h, new blooming flow’rs;
Thus when joys die, oh! give to us
Muemosyne’s bless’d flow’r,
Hattie.

The temperance movement is on
he qui vive in this community, and
he friends of the cau-e seem deter-
Mined that nothing shall oe left uh
lone that will exterminate the traf
fic ot liquor in the county. They
have been trying long enough to win
men to temperance by moral suasion
and now they are going to make
them, nolens volens, keep sober. We
bid them God speed. If their efforts
will save one tear from the eye lids
of a drunkards wife, if it will save
oae pang from the heart of drunk
art’s child, if it will snatch one dime
fnm a drunkard’s hand and give it
talijs starvelings, instead of to the
bir-keeper, we bid it God speed. But

Marsh’s exhibition.
The boy band of Cartersviile, head
ed with Prof. Harwell, gave us some
fine and elegant music. We predict
a bright and glorious fu-ture for the
boys and hope fhaf i-ueeess will
crown all their efforts.
The exhibition was quite a success,
for such u beautiful array of little
misses and boys and every one ac
quitted themselves nicely.
“Brother Wadkim ” was elegantly
delivered by Marshal Sikes, which
was highly pleasing to the whole au
dience. The negro sermon was well
preached by Johnny Sproull and his
attire was a perfect model of an old [
tiegro preacher with a face as blab i
as jet and a voice very lam liar, espe
cially with the colored brethren. The
public debate of Willie Hen
derson, Charlie McCormre, Robert
McGinnis, Juby Sproutl and Marion
Shelman with Joby Sproull as chair
man, was very laughable indeed.
The subject was, “does iovo lie in the
heart or soul? ” The president c mid
not decide the mooted question, so
he was bribed by one side with a
nickle. We would like to mention
others but space will not allow. Prof.
Marsh deserves great credit for such
a brilliant entertainment, for most of
lus students were very young with
their first exhibition, yes, the Pro
fessor does really deserve much com
mendation for he is very young,
modest and awful*) timid that the
girls have no chance to enjoy his
love making. But he mu tbe im
proving for not long since he was
seen by an eye witness smiling and
looking lovely out of his eyes to
wards a dozen young ladies. Lo k

The 1-onithiii Earne;
A great big fourth of July will be
tired off in Rome, this year. The ad
vance agent, Mr. Will Penticosf, was
in the city last week and billed ih e
town for the great Roman show. It
seems there is to be everything from
a Roman circus to a Roman candle.
The eyciops of the affair is Mayor
Sara Morgan, who Will take pleasure
in giving the freedom of the city to
any Bartow county man who may
be in Rome on the day mentioned.
He is ably seconded, aide 1 and abet
ted by a number of prominent Ro
man gentkmen, such men as Capt.
Williamson, Capt. Dwiaeil, Jim
Murrell, and so on.
There is to be a drayman’s contest,
a boat-race, a balloon ascension, fan*
tastics, fire-works, etc, etc,
A cordial invitation i3 extern did
to the people of Bartow to attend
these festivities. Every person will
be afforded ample amusement, and a
full day’s enjoyment.

The private exhibition of Prof.
Marshall’s school, alluded to last
week came off with great satisfaction
to the teacher, pupils and patrons.
The exercises consisted of declamas
lion and recitations interspersed with
music. We hid not have the good
fortune to attend, much to our regret,
but from what we can learn from
those present we can certainly say it
was a pleasant occasion. Mr. Marshal
is a competent teacher imbued with
faithful zeal and love for his profes
sion. lie will make the Etst Carters
ville Ii stitute an honor and orna
ment to our town.
Director Burchard, of the treasury
department, has written to an anx
