A light is from the household gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant on our hearth Which never can be filled ; A gentle heart that throbbed but now With tenderness and love, Has hushed itsyearv throbbing here, To throb in bliss above. Ye*, to the home where angels are, Her trusting soul has fled, And yet we bend above her tomb With tears, and call her dead ; Me call her dead ; but ah I we know She dwells where living water* flow. We miss thee from our home, dear one, We miss time from thy place— Oh ! life will be so dark without The sunshine of thy face * W e wait for thee at eve’s sweet hour, When stars begin to burn, W e linger in our cottage porch To look for thy return ; But va nly for thy coming step We list through all the hours— W e only heat the wind’s low voice That murmurs through the flowers, And the dark river’s solemn livmn Sweeping among the Woodlands din. The bird we loved is singing yet Above our cottage door, We sigh to hear it singing now, Since heard by thee no more ; The sunshine and the trembling leaves, The blue, o’er arching shy, The music of the wondering winds That float in whispers by*— All speaking in tender tones to me, Of all life’s parted hours and thee. I do not see thee now, dear one, I do not see thee now, But even when the twilight breeze Steals o’er my lifted brow, I hear thy voice upon my ear In murmurs low and soft, I hear the words of tenderness That I have heard so oft; And on my wounded spirit falls A blessing from above, That whispers—though thy life is o’er, We have not lost thy love. AIT me ! thy heart in death grown cold, Still loves us with a love untold. No need of Fame’s proud voice for thee, Nor need for earthly fame, Thou art enshrined in our fond hearts, And that is all the same; Ay. full of faith, and trust, and hope, We tread life’s troubled sea, Till the last throbbing wave of time Shall bear our souls to thee— To thee, oh! it will be so sweet With all our sins forgiven, To mingle with our loved and lost, In our sweet home in heaven ; To spend with all the blest above An endless life of perfect love ! THERE IS NO UNBELIEF. There is no unbelief. W r hoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see it push away the clod, Trusts in God. There is no unbelief. Wdioever says, when clouds are in the sky, * l Be patient, heart! Light breaketh by and by,” Trusts the Most High. There is no unbelief. Whoever sees ’neath winter’s field of snow The silent harvest of the future grow, God’s power must know. There is no unbelief. Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, , Consents to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. There is no unbelief. Whoever says, “ to-morrow,” the unknown, The future, trusts that power alone He dares not to disown. St A V AND WIFE. ’Twas morning of election day, He came down feeling fresh and cherry, And, bending o’er her chair, remarked, “ Who are your candidates, my deary ?” She humped her pull-back just enough To make her favorite paper rustle, — “ Their names 1 don’t remember, but You’ll find them somewhere in my bustle.” ODE TO OBTI'M. I would not die in Ortum, W r ith peaches fit for eat in’, When the wavy corn is gittin wripe, < & candidates is treatin’; When sausage meat is phryin, And hickory nuts is thick, O, who would think of dyin’, Or even gittin sick ! A Horrible Story. We have heard of a very distressing accident occurring in Jackson county, West Virginia. It was a “ house raising.” As is customary on such occasions, chick ens had been killed by chopping off their heads. Two little sons of the owner of the house to be raised saw the chickens thus guillotined, and during the day con eluded to repeat the operation. It was just at a time when the men were lifting a heavy log into its place. The father, who was holding one end of the log, cast ing his eyes toward the little fellows, one of whom had the axe raised to sever the neck of his brother, let go of the log to nave the boy, and it fell, killing six men, two instantly, the others living only a few hours. The axe fell before the father could reach the scene, severing the neck of his son. Thus were seven persons hurled into eternity in a twinkling.— Middleport (0.)

He had a farm in Tennessee in 1862, and the soldiers of both armies made themselves cordially at home on his premises. So he removed with all his produce to a cave in the Cumberland Mountains. A storm threw down a rock which closed the mouth of the cave. Therein he lived for thirteen years, in the dark, eating from his produce and drinking from a spring.

C., went away from home for the day, leaving their children in charge of a negro girl. On their return the four children lay dead on the floor, and on the table wasa half-eaten cabbage. The girl said the children had eaten of the cabbage, and soon after were seized with convulsions and vomiting, and died. The horror-stricken parents suspected that the servant had poisoned the children, and insisted that she should eat some of the cabbage. She willingly complied, and partook heartily. A few minutes after eating she also died. The father then investigated the cabbage, and found in the heart of it a small rattlesnake, boiled to death. CRAWFORD, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1875. After a Scalp. The attraction Saturday was an Indian buck, accompanied by his squaw, and Al. Huntington, Brigham’s great interpreter, perambulating the streets together. The Battle Ax had a white woman’s scalp, with very long black hair, attacted to the hilt of a sword by his side. The scalp is nearly s as large over as the crown of a man’s hat, is lined with red flannel, "and decorated with an eagle’s feather. The hair is fine and about two feet long, evi dently that of a young woman. Dr. Higgins, who has in his time been called to witness the sickening butche ries of the redskins, saw the scalp as he walked up Main street, and, when the re membrance of Indian outrages flashed across his mind, his blood boiled with in dignation to see the populace gaze calm ly upon the trophy of a heartless deed, and allow the perpetrator thereof to flaunt it in their faces. Husbands and brothers had no response for the doctor when he appealed to them to stand shoulder to shoulder with him while he took the scalp from the Indian, for know ing that the. Battle-Ax was the guest of Brigham, he fully realized that the min ions of the priesthood would interfere on behalf of Lo, when the scalp should be taken from him. A Deputy Marshal said that the doctor did not have the “ sand” to attempt it, but when an inter preter asked the Indian if the scalp was that of a white woman, and was an swered in the affirmative, Higgins did not wait for the boys to co-operate with him, but sailed in on his muscle, and captured the scalp. A general street fight was eminent, for the Gentiles rallied to Higgins to prevent Huntington and his crowd carrying out their threats, but the major part of public sentiment was with Pliggins, who marched off victori ous. The scalp, doubtless, has an inter esting, not to say bloody, history, and, if it had the power of speech, might corob orate Klingensmith’s of the Mountain Meadows with shocking detail. The Mountain Meadows press will probably condemn this action of Dr. Higgins, but every right-minded man will give it his hearty approval. —Salt Lake Tribune. The Discovery of the Cross, The festival called the iC Invention of the Cross,”- instituted in honor of the finding of the cross in 326 by the Em press Helena, the mother of Constantine, is celebrated on the 3d of May. The story of the discovery is related by Soc rates, Sozomen, Rufinus, Theodoret, Paulinus, Setpicius, St. Cyril of Jerusa lem and Chryssostom ; but Eusebius is silent regarding it. When Helena visi ted the scenes about Jerusalem, it is said that every trace of the great events had been obliterated by the heathen, and a temple of Venus stood upon Mount Cal vary ; but a Jew, who had treasured up what traditions he could gather, pointed out the probable place of Christ’s sepul chre. The spot being excavated, three crosses were discovered, and the title which that of Jesus bore was found lying by itself. It is related that the cross of Christ was distinguished from the other by miraculous cures wrought by touching it. A church was built over the spot, and a part of the sacred relic was deposited in it; a part was sent to Rome, and placed in the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, built to receive it, and the rest was put by Constantine into the head of a statute of himself in Constantinople. The first was carried away by Chosroes, King of Persia, in 614, but was afterward recovered by the Em peror Heraclius, who restored it to its former place in 629. Iu the time of the Crusades it was borne to battle by the Christians, and was captured by Saladiu in 1182, in his great victory near Tibferias. W r hat is asserted to be a piece of the true cross is still shown at Rome ; another was preserved in Poland till the seven teenth century, when it was presented by John Casimir to the Princes Palatine Anna Gonzaga, who bequeathed it to the monks of St. Germain in Paris; and in numerable small reputed fragments are held by Catholics throughout the world. — Appletons' American Cyclopcedia. Increase of Eape. Judge Kerr, of North Carolina, in his charge to the grand jury of Orange,called attention to the growing frequency of as saults upon females with attempt to com mit violence, and regretted the inade quacy of the punishment fixed by statute. Actual rape is punished with death, but the attempt has only the penalty of im prisonment in the penitentiary affixed as a punishment. The attempt is as crimi nal as the consummation of the crime, which in most cases is only prevented by fortuitous circumstances. The object of the laws on this subject is to protect fe male chastity and honor. There is an ineffable stain affixed upon the unfor tunate victime of even unsuccessful- vio lence, and therefore there should be no distinction between the attempt and the act. We agree with the Raleigh New* that the laws should be amended in this particular; for woman must find the shield of protection thrown around her everywhere and under all circumstances. Let the penalty be death, and we will hear less of the crime. —One of the happiest and most inde pendent of all human occupations is that of an intelligent farmer, whose land is paid for, and who keeps out of debt.

Indiana is well termed the rogue’s den. —A lady was interrogated by a Bene dick as to why she did not get married. She replied: “ I prefer to be an old maid.” He said he did not believe it, as he felt sure she envied his wife. “Oh, no ! that would be breaking the com mandment—‘Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s ass.’ ” —A woman cured her husband of stay ing out late at night by going to the door when he Came home and whispering through the key-hole, “ Is that you Wil lie?” Her husband’s name is John, and he stays at home every night now, and sleeps with one eye open and a revolver under his’pillow. —The baby was very sick, and as the father gazed upon it he said to his litjtle boy: “Ah, Jimmy, what’ll if poor little baby dies ?” Jimmy thought a few moYnents, and feeling replied : “Why bury it, of course, and get another !” and the manner in which that boy jumped was simply startling. —A clergyman was sent for suddenly to go to *a cottage, where he found a man in bed. “ Well, my friend, what induced you to send for me?” The patient, who was rather deaf, applied to his wife: “ "What did he say ?” “He said,” shout ed the woman, “ what the deuce did you send for him for !” —A Kentucky editor being challenged by a county treasurer for calling him the “ red-headed, malignant mule, who dissi pates the county money,” produced his manuscript and showed that he wrote, “ the big-hearted, valiant soul, who dis penses the county money.” The treasu rer withdrew his challenge, and substi tuted an invitation to an oyster supper instead. —A Texas Judge is credited with the following decision : “ The fact is, Jones, the jail is an old, rickety affair, a3 cold as an iron wedge. You applied to the Court for release on bail, giving it as your opinion that you would freeze to death there. The weather has not mod erated, and to keep you from freezing I will direct the Sheriff to hang you at 4 o’clock this afternoon.” —She testified before the magistrate that “ dot pilly gotes shoost vas a— a— vel, I vas vashing py some clodings of a pie tub, und them gotes coom up behind, und—veil, shoge, I don’t ken told you how dot vos.

A doctor living in Macomb county, Michigan, when called upon to set a broken leg for a laboring man, examined the limb and said: “If I set this limb it will be five or six months before you can walk. If I saw it off and make a wooden leg'you will be out splitting rails in less than three months.” The man declined the generous offer, and the doctor sighed drearily as he rolled down his shirt sleeves. A Crime of Seven Up for jCßafcy. We have it from good authority that near this city, a few days ago, a game of “ seven up” was played, a litttle girl of five summers being the prize. The fa ther bad played and lost everything he had, and while under the influence of liquor proposed to put up his little girl against a certain amount of money. The proposition was at once accepted, and the game began. At the last hand the game stood : lather, 5; opponent, 2. In the deal the father received the follow ing tjrumps: King, ton, seven, and tray. His opponent received ace, jack, four, and deuce. The father begged, and was given one, which made him within one of going out. Confidently believing that the game was his, he threw down the king and tray, exclaiming, “ Can you beat that for high’or low?” His oppo nent replied that he could beat both, and showed his hand, and claimed high, low, jack and the game. The claim was de nied, the father hoping that he could take the game himself. The game went on, resulting in the success of his oppo nent, who secured the game by two points. The winner still has the child, and states that he intends keeping it, un less the father uses the law to regain his loss. She is in good hands, much better than those of her father, who is a wid ower, and a man of dissolute habits, al though the possessor of a kindly heart when not under the influence of liquor. Council Bluffs Globe. A Baptism of Blood. A Paris correspondent relates the fol lowing story about the great grand-moth er of the Polish Prince Labomirski, “who writes so cleverly and chatters ao inces santly The unfortunate Princess remained in Paris during the reign of terror, imagin ing that her foreign nationality would save her from the guillotine. The un happy lady, who was very beautiful, made a mistake. She had been the inti mate friend of Princess Lamballee, and was arrested on a groundless suspicion of being in correspondence with the Austrian Government, and hurried off to execution on the day following that which saw Mme. Roland perish. Princess Labomirski had one little daughter, whom she wished to embrace before she died. A faithful nurse brought the child in her arms, and at the risk of her own life, to the very loot of the scaffold. The wretched moth er, wishing that her little one should be recognized in after years by the Labom irski family, and not being allowed to write to them, imagined the following means of identifying her orphan daugh ter : Stooping, she dipped her finger in the blood of a victim who had just perish ed, and wrote these words in big letters on a scrap of her linen, “ The child with the letters L. B. scratched on its arm is my daughter. Princess Labomirski.” Then, taking a pin, she scratched the initials on the arm of her child, embraced it, and a few minutes afterward laid her head under the knife. The nurse, # when the reign of terror was over, took the child to Poland, where, being recognized by her mother’s family, in the course of years she married her cousin, Prince Ladislas Labomirski. The present Prince has often seen the initial scar on his grandmother’s arm. The old lady only died a few years ago. Turkish Extravagance. In England, the richest country in the world, the prime-minister receives £5,000 per annum; in Turkey, the poorest country in Europe, the grand-vizer draws £30,000 a year, while the civil-list, and the salaries of all the high officials, are vastly more than those of the Queen and ministers of Great Britain. Mr. T. Brassey, the honorable member for Hast ings, who is on a cruize in his yacht, the Sunbeam, has sent home for publication a series of letters relating to his voyage. Dating from Constantinople, he writes, relative to the Government of Turkey : “ The authorized civil-list of the Sultan is about £1,200,000, and by means of more or less arbitrary grants, it is actual- ly little less than £2,000,000 a year. All along the shores of the Bosphorus vast palaces and elaborate kiosks occurred in succession at a distance or little more than a mile apart Some of these build ings are furnished in the most costly style. The daily dinner of the Sultan—he always dines alone —consists of ninety four dishes ; and ten other meals are pre pared in case it should be his fancy to partake of them. He has eight hundred wives, attended and guarded by three hundred and fifty eunuchs. For this enormous household forty thousand oxen are yearly slaughtered ; and the purvey ors are required to furnish daily two hun dred sheep, one hundred lambs or goats, ten calves, two hundred hens, two hun dred pairs of pullets, one hundred pairs of pigeons, and fifty green geese. Be tween the profligate luxury of the estab lishment of the sovereign and the miser able poverty of too many of his subjects, the contrast is truly melancholy. The incomes of the principal ministers of the state are such as would grievously shock the radical reformers of our own country. The salary of the Grand Yizer is £30,- 000 ; of the Minister of France, £II,OOO ; and so in proportion for the other princi j pal ministers.” —English paper. —Negroes have been serving on juries i in Bibb county since ISOlb VOL II—NO. 6. HUMOR. A Modern Kolonion-An Old Rule nitli # Screw 1.005.■. A New "iork Judge of an inferior Court attempted, recently, to enact the part of Solomon, the disputants who ap peared before him being Chinese, and the cause of contention a dog. The World, most happily, describes the affair in these words : “ Hwang Lee and Ah Wing,” said his Honor, as he beat a rather low brow upon a pair of Celestials who stood before him. “ W hat do you say to the charge of disorderly conduct brought against you “Ah Wing, he lun away my dog,” pleaded Hwang Lee. “ Hwang Lee wliatee Melican man caliee dam lire. Hwang Lee comee my laundly, stealee my dog all ltkee Melican dam thief!” pleaded Ah Wing. “ Is it not remarkable,” said the Judge, “ that these strange people, so far behind the civilized world in many respects, yet possess in common with us an affection for the lower animals? I must discover to which of the prisoners the quadruped rightfully belongs, and that, too, by means of a strategy- once employed by- a somewhat famous Biblical predecessor. Officer Brown, bring the dog and a meat axe into court.” It was done. “ Now, then, Ah Wing and Ilwang Lee,” resumed the Court, assuming a style of pronunciation meant to he clear ly comprehensible. “ Officer, comee chopee doggee in twoee. Ah Wing takee halfee and Hwang Lee takee halfee. Un derstandee ?” A painful silence was at last broken by Ah Wing, who remarked calmly, “Alloc light, Judge, so officer givee me halfee got em dog’s libs in hem.” “ Affection has spoken in silence,” said the Judge, triumphantly ; “ let Hwang Lee have the dog.” “Thankee, Judge,” said that prisoner, as he lifted up tire obese animal. “Ah Wing he nothaveedamhite; Hwang Lee eatee dog all up self.” “ Five dollars or five days each,” said the disgusted Judge, as his estimate of the celestial in human nature fell down to zero. Hsw a Bead Hog Killed a Kan. A negro man in the adjoining county of Baldwin killed a large hog in the woods. He opened the animal, removed the entrails, and devised a method of car rying the pork which was altogether sui generis. This manner of transportation was effected by tying the hind legs to gether, passing his head between them, and, the heavy carcass being in front, easing the weight on his neck by- lifting on the fore legs with his hands. It is presumed that he got along remarkably well until a rail fence got in his way, and, in order to climb this, he needed his hands. Accordingly, he relieved them by lifting the hog over the top rail and letting it drop on the other side. It is presumed that he proposed to follow the hog, hut he didn’t. A few days since a congregation of buzzards attracted atten tion to a locality where a negro man was found hanging on one side of a rail fence and a hog on the other, the weight of the animal evidently having pressed his neck down upon the rail until he was choked to death. —An Irishman gives the following de scription of the mode of killing owls in the “ Ould Counthry” : “ Well, ye know, the gintleman goes ®ut into the woods an’ looks around among the trees till he finds an owl a sittin’ on a limb, an’ he looks at the owl an’ the owl looks at him, an’ thin the gintleman commences a walkin’ around the tree, an’ the owl kapes his eye on him an’ toorns his head around widout toorning his boddy, and the gintleman kapes on walkin’ round an’ round the tree, an’ the owl kapes on toorning his head till he twists his neck off an’ falls down' dead, an’ the gintle man picks him oop an’ carries the cra ther home.” —The huge bronze ball which supports the cross on top of St. Peter's cupola at Rome can easily contain thirteen persons at once. In summer its interior is as an oven, and in winter it needs no stove for the comfort of visitors. Ladies have an awfully jolly time getting in and out of it by means of a ladder; and, as a gen eral thing, they prefer not to follow, but to preceede their gentlemen escorts in the descent. From the square below the gilded ball looks the size a pumpkin. Americans generally go for it. —A Connecticut Yankee, whose father doubtless sold basswood hams and maple nutmegs, took the first premium on bar ley at his county fair the other day. The grains were so large and plump that every other exhibitor was compelled to hide his diminished head. It afterwards leaked out that the unusual size of the grains was owing to their having been judiciously soaked in water before being exhibited. —The Telegraph of St. John, N. 8., says that a lady, who resided in a village on the river St. John, assisted recently to prepare the body of a neighbor for burial. While engaged some virus from the dead was absorbed into a slight cut on the la dy’s finger, and a few hours later she was seized with intense pain in her baud, at tended by a rapid swelling. After days of severe suffering she died. THE OGLETHORPE ECH(J - AiiVfcrtTi&ENIENTS.
