"WOE UH rOHM THAT GIVE IH HIS HEIGHBOB DEUTK.” } Hahakhuk. Chap. 11: r. 15. m a oooD nxiun. Oh, jo who sell the liquid fire. To madden and destroy— That withers every bu ding hope And blasts oach honaehold joy— Oh 1 think awhil-—have you not hear*.h To foci for human woe ? AH may not havo the strength of mind. Temptation to forego. The seed ye plant is bringing A harvest, ob, how tread; ’Tia watered with the bitter tears By wives and mothers shed : Oh! stop, I pray, and view its fruit, Tis ripening at thy door; Then place tafore tby fellow man The damning bowl no more. Havo you no fond no loving one, Who round your heart strings twine, Whoso life may reap the bitter fruit Planted by ban-’ of tbino ’ Go look upon thy prattling boy, And pat his noble head ; But oh, rememl>cr, thongh lie’s bom. Yet, yet he is not dead. That poor, forsaken, reeling ono. Was once a noble boy— Tho prido of some fond sister's hear', Some mother’s household joy. How can yon stand and gaze upon Your quivering victim* here, V© men of God. why will ye stand In silonco all tho day, Nor raise your voices loud and strong. To do this sin away ? Yotir sluggish blood so slowly flows, Or, stagnant as a pool, Yonv'o learned to live and think, and feel, And speck, perchance by role. Go roach to hi:n a helping hand, And bid him hope once more. Nor by your cold indifference Thus aid to sink him lo^ir. Oh bid hini stop—this moment stop— He's just on min’s brink; Another step, and ’math the waves Or infamy he'll sink. A SERMON. My hearers, I shall draw forth the horns of my argument from tlio follow ing hymn: This world is all a fleetin’ show To man’s illusion given; Northern Methodist*’ Proposition fbr Ke-TJnion. A Memphis dispatch; of the 11th inst, to tho Western Press, says : Bishop Janes, Daniel Carry, Levi Scott, and others of the Northern Metho dist Church, sabmitted a memorial to the Southern General Con fere? leas follows : “ By action end authority of the Gen eral Conference at Chicago, May, 1868, wc were appointed a commission to co- 1 operate with a like commission from the . Church South on tho subject of nnion. At ft meeting of tho commission in Phila delphia, November 23d, 1869, a resolution was adopted approving tho action con templating a union of tho two Chnrches, but it is thought proper to make this further communication. Tho appoint ment of this commission shows that in the judgment of tho Northern Church there is not sufficient reason why a union may not be effected on honorable terms Hoping that you may seo the subject in tho same light, and that you may ap point a similir commission to confer with us previous to next General Conference in 1872, and praying that you may be prospered in all that pertains the welfare of the Christian Church, and desiring your prayers in behalf of the Church, wo represent, that we may share a like prosperity, wo are,” etc. The committee of nino to which this memorial is referrod, consists of the strongest men in the Conference here. It is thought that the proposition wiil cot be approved. Or to the i foil. 1 agree with the tavern keeper, who. said when the circus company Rloped without pavin’ him for grub and grog, “this world is all a fleetin’ show,” and 1 also side with the hungry man, who cried out in the bustin’ agony of his heart, when he dftw a cooked pig’s head shockin’ in the magic lantern, tnatit.is “for man’s illusion given ! My friends ! you wrap your feelings around the rotten things of this world oven as monkeys do their fails around the unsound limbs of old tress. When you get high up, you find yonr honey-bee holler turns out to be a*iier- net’s nest, and when those little flying talzebnb’s commence pokin’ their sharp pointed shouts deep into your carcass, you wiggle about like an eel in a fryin' pan, your tail gets untwisted, or the limb breaks, that you have grabbed as tight as a leather sucker does a brickbat, and yon fall, cowhollop, upon tho broken glass bottles, which are always strewed under the pizen Upas tree of pleasure ! Oh ! tho vanity of desirin’ tlio slippery paths of this airtli—Yen run after em, you pant you blow, the perspiration runs down you like soapsuds in a washing machine, yonr body is covered over with the prick ly heat of anxiety, and your feet wi tli the sot corner of caro and disappointment. And what are all these sufferings for ? What mokes your nose bleed, and what makes your blood boil like hot pitch at a tar gathcrin ? Why you’ve been running after tho great shoat of mammon ! Ills tail lias been dipped in Satan’s lard kittle, when you thiuk you’ve got him foul— when you’ve poured the ashes of vexa tion on your palms, when you’ve dipped yonr fingers into the sand glue of expe rience and wisdom, so that they’ll stick fast and no mistake, tho cussed critter gives a grunt like the bustin’ of a blad der, and his tail slips through your paws like geese greased lightenin.’ Oil, my'beloved hearers ! how awful is your situation in that particular time! —You see the hog that vou’ro been run- nin’ after all your born days way on ever eo ditto behind ! All your precaution.- hnve couo to what liiekory wood will in tho winter time, smoke 1 Your trousers aro split, your shirt dirty, and yonr eyes aro streaming like two lie hoppers on i> rainy day. Yonr head aches, and yon see the sea turtles and canvass backs rootin’ straight into yonr skull. Tlu* fleas of dispondency bite you through the day, and bed bags as conscience, as big as a sheep, keep yon from {sleep at night. You re worse than a man with liis hands tied, lyiug naked in a bayou, without n mnsketo bar Out of remorst springs just about ten million muskeetos, with comic stockings on their legs, uud augers in their mouths, all boriu straii through and through yonr body, and filling up tho hole with cow itch and skunks cologne. Y’our situation is too numerous to men tion. The molasses hogshead of getjer- osity and good feeling is staved in, and the sweet stream of kindness and human ity is mixing with tho tar, dead dogs auu drunken niggers lying about on the lev, e of vice and immorality. The Mississippi of love is at low water. The steamboat ol prayer and the broad horn of faith, both laden with the rich cargo of the country above, get -irnelly snagged on tlio logs ol despair; and both sink deep in the jai ler mud of sin ! the catfishes of hell, which am bom in the bilin spring of in temperance, float aronnd yonr brains ami the screech owls of sorrow set ‘boohooin’ in the hen roost of your hearts. You r* deserted and despised—you’re no mor« use to the world than a pair of goggl» are to a atone blind man, and you’re no more use to yourselves than a problem ol Euclid to a nigger baby ! America: s,—This is one of the prettiest towns in Georgia, and thriving withal.— It contains some very handsome resi dences, and the streets well laid off- wide and regular, with no triangles to confuse tho stranger or to mar the beau ty of the town. It lias located in its midst, a flourishing female school known os the Furlow Masonic Institute, with a large number of pupils in attendance. — It also contains a Baptist, a Methodist, ■i Presbyterian and an Episcopal Church. Tlio latter is unfinished, but will be. when completed, one of the neatest and most church-like edifices for public worship wo have seen. Criu-iform and built in Gothic style, with its beautiful stained windows it reflects the liighesl credit o» the little band of Episcopalians who have labored so much to build it— their efforts being generously assisted by the citizens generally. Two very respec table journals—the Republican by Han cock. G ahum & Roily, and the Courier by \V. L. Perry—are published in th« town, and wc hope both are doing well. Americas contains a population of be tween five and six thousand. The South western Railroad has one of t e best •lepot buildings in tho State at thal place.—LaGrange Reporter. i Uazetto. A simihu Southern Stutei- 3C have brought - Bad Showing fit Alabama. The Haynes ville (Ala.) Examiner has tho following, from which we judge that all the cotton maniacs don’t live in Geor gia. Some folks are bound to learn bow to live on lint padding, and cotton peed sonp. Alcorn may be the author of the polit ical misfortunes of Mississippi, hut All Cotton is the potent despot who will bring the people of this section cf Ala boma to grief next fall. The complaint is general in Lowndes that there is not enough corn planted. Tho best express ions we have about com is “Ivo planted enough to do me, if the seasons are fa vorable.” The general reply is a dubi ous shake of the head. ~ Not a grain for sale ! But cotton—the apple of the eyee of our plantera are cotton lx la. Noth ing lets will satisfy them. Mr. Irvin Houser reports but five acres of corn in sight of the public roads from Manackto Montgomery—12 miles of almost contin uous plantations. Tho negroes who rent laud and manage their own crops arc said to plaut no eeparato field of com. they merely cro^s their cotton with it; and stand a chance to make four or five bush els to the acre, “if the seasons aro favora ble.” Exchange papers in adjoining counties bring the same news. If we have a large cotton crop we may make up our minds to get 12$ cents for it; but as we will make a Into ono wo predict the worms will eat it. And if we have a small crop it will take it all to bay corn at Si and $2 a bushel. Bo much for the prospect of the second week of May. Ic?” Governor Bullock lias appointed •T. M.

Higbee, of Talbot Correspondence Haiti Washington', May 11.—The Georgia muddle is likely to prove “an elephant” in the hands of the Radical Congress, flie leaders are absolutely at fault, and know not what to do to extricate them selves. I havo heard of many plans. Among them one to admit the State ai once, and leave tho question of the ten ure of office of the Executive end Legis lature to the courts. Jt is clear that irreat difficulties beset this proposition In the meantime tho country is becoming sick of further trickery in this* respect. Georgia (I mean the white citizens of thai State,) by pursuing the steady and strict ly honorable policy of nonactRn in tin way of conciliation, and dignified indiffer ence as to irhat their oppressors wonlu do, has pushed the unprincipled faction ruling the country to the very verge ol their power, without in the least promising even her in, course on the part of tl: generally would long ni Congress to its senses. In this connection it may be observed that “reconstruction.” as regards Teun- essee or any other of tho reconstructed or unreconstructed States, to use a phrase current in Congress, is essentially “play ed out.” Scarcely a corporal’s guard conld now bo mustered in either Uoust to commence the process in fresh locali- . ties, while a year ago, or less, it mighi I havo been none with impunity. Thi> I shows the “ revolution” to have received j an important check. To come to a stand-still threatens the disruption ol 'lie Radical organization, it is true—but to go further would render inevitable tht diriutegation of this Empire ! This is the fearful dilemma in which the leaders ue placed. Sumner %nd Butler, witli a few of their satilites, would gladly and madly “cross the Rubicon,” but their in iluenco with the public is gone forever. * A Pkoiii.ne.nt Citizen Shot.—Yester- lay afternoon between three and foui •’clock, as Mr. John Broughton, pre- -eriptionist in the drug ston; of L. W. Hunt & Co., was walking from Uinuei along on First street, taiween Oak and Arch streets, he was hailed from the op posite side of the street, by Mr. Henry J. Rous, and ho stopped to ascertain what Mr. Ross wanted. The latter gentle man walked across tho street to where droughton was standing, and asked him i question in regard to some family diffi .Miity which has existed between tLcm for owe time past, and while Sir. Brough am was replying, Mr. Ross drew liis pis tol and shot him—the ball entering near -Re breast-bone and ranging diagonally through the body and nghi lung puiweii »ut near the centre of the right rhoulde - •lade, inflicting what his pnysicaus say, •a an exceedingly dangerous, but not necessarily, mortal wound. When el o Air. Broughton staggered b .ck i.g n t .he fence and fell, umlliis would-be inui- lerer turned, and walked hastily to tot corner of First and Arch streets, then darted off in a brisk run and effected his ■scape. Mr. B. was taken up and car ried to his residence near tho Macon Cotton Factory, where ho received tht -urgical attention of Drs. Geo. W Holmes ind Crow all W. Johnson. ' The affair produced qnito a sensation hroughout tho city, as both men art well known—the assailant having been raised here,. and tho assailed having ived here since tbo close of tho war.— tie is a native, we believe, of Norfolk, To., andis known as a worthy and esti mable gentleman. It is not our province, nor would i: be prudent for ns to state hero what we Have heard as to the cause of this most tutor lunate affair, as the parties art ■ trothers-in-1aw and they havo not been riendly for some time. It will, doubtlea- *11 be brought before the courts at ai -arly day.—Telegraph Messenger, 15th The Late Fbize Fight.—The follow ing, relative to tho late fight, near New Orleans, wo clip from the Times : To dttc.il tho many interesting inci dents of this great historic event in the anmds cf fistiana would be to fill a vol ume, but still there wero a few which came under onr immediate observation of such a striking and novel character as to at once challenge onr best attention.— First among these was the gladiator’s ontb. The first meeting of Heenan and Mace, about half an hour after the fight, was os notable os it was strangely sol- emu. The Benicia Boy grasped his friend by tho hand with a congratulating grip, •ind drawing him aside, said, * Jem, you ’ve won the fight, and now I claim yonr promise—raise your right hand—‘ We -oh-mnly swear, so help us God, never again to put up our Lauds in u prize riDg, never! never ! never !*’ Mace bowed hi* head and solemnly repented tho obliga tion. The auditors who heard the oath re corded were visibly affected; for a few minutes there was much quiet hand-slink-1 iug going on, and many expressions ol i -atistoction at what was deemed the dis charge of a proper obligation to society. Alltel* fb.it a man of such kind and gen ial disposition, rapidly passing the meri dian of iife. who had been tho hero of twenty-six battles, without a Jiving con- ]ueror, should withdraw from an associa tion so foreign to his nature. Heenan*s iction in the mutter wa3 considered worthy of him, mid no Jcs3 than could be •*xpectod from the gallant American, who had broken, in this instance, through a resolution of long standing, only to re pay a kindness, and to discharge what he considered a friendly duty to an old com rade, whom neither time, position nor fortune could induce him to forsake. As rhe occasion obthe formal retirement of these two great fistic heroes from the ring, this event yesterday was made one Startling, But True.—Tho number >f deaths in the United States endina last -June, resulting from the intemperate use of ardent spirits, is given below, as well us the number of men, women and child ren sent to poor-houses, insane and ine briate asylums State penitentiaries for offences committed while under the in fluence of liquor, ns compared with the number of those whose crimes were in duced by other cause: Deaths 02,00); Suicidc-s from intemperance, 409 ; Sui cides from other causes, 37 ; In poor- houses, inebriate and insaue asylums, 130,000; Per cent, r.f crime caused by in temperance, G5. The above is a most startling exhibit, and shows the great evil of indulging in the Wine cup. It is a mostfrightful com mentary upon the morals of the ]>eopie of tho United States, and suggests the question whether or not the cause of all this crime and misery could not bo re moved. The Growing Wheat Chop.—In all the adjoining counties Yhe unanimous report of all parties is that the growing wheat crop is one of unusual promise- while in the country above we know from personal observation, that it is looking unusually well. Last week wo were in Jackson, Hail and White counties, and judging from what wo aaw along the road and learned from intelligent farmers, there has never been a better prospect for a crop. If no calamity overtakes it. •n immense yield my bo expected. And this is true of all the counties of North east Georgia. The finest looking wheat we have seen anywhere is the crop of onr friend Bailey, of Oglethorpe, who last year beat “all the world and the rest of mankind” by rais ing nearly fifty bushels to the acre. If anybody brats that this year, it will be Bailey himself.—Athens [Ga.J Watch- The Fbuit Crop.—We publish several contradictory reports in reference to the peach crop in this section. These reports were bused upon such information ns we were enabled to collect from time to time, and were contradictory, because in some localities the peaches were parti ally destroyed" -and escaped unhurt in others. Some few orchards will fail to tally, in others the crop will be light, but, throughout ihe upper country generally it will be abundant. Indeed the trees are in many localities, too loll. From this place to Cleveland, via Gninsville, we noticed all along the road a great abnudanco of peaches. Apples and other fruits are still more promising, as, wc believe, they were not at all injured by tlio late frosts.— lb. The Drouth.—It has been four or five weeks since wo had sufficient rain in this vicinity to wet tho ground. As a conse quence our vegetable gardens, which up to that time were retarded by the cold weather, present anything but an encour aging prospect. The ground is so dry that nothing can grow, aud in many cases vegetables aro losing tho little vitality they posses:.. Spring salad and English peas are scarce. Snap beans will have to be replanted. Cabbage and col lards aro “ drying up. ” We fear that the Irish potato crop wilLbo seriously cut off, and onr summer supply of * vegetables generally prove {inadequate. We notice what little corn there is iu the neighbor hood looks dwarfed, yellow and sickly. Ihe only thing which seems to be hold ing “its own,” is tho cotton, and proba bly the present cool snap is not helping it _ much. Still there is no prospect oi rain, and wo havo littlo hope of any be fore tlio fall moon. This is rather a gloomy looking picture, yet it must lie all light or else it would not bo so. We comfort from tho old ohristian’i philosophy, “Wo are sure to get rail most needed.”—04. Eng. agUTlie Atlanta Constitution says: Mr. H. I.
