Poetical.
What My Lire Is Like
This little poem was written alrout thir
ty years ago, by Lieut. Robert Emmett
Howe, ot the (old) U. S. N. who, shortly
after writing it, died of consumption, at
sea.
My life is like the shattered wreck
Cast by the waves upon the shore;
The broken mast, the rifted dock,
Tell of the shipwreck that is o'er;
Yet from the relics of the storm
The mariner his raft will form
Again to tcrapt.the faithless
But hope rebuilds no bark for me.
My life is like the blighted onk
That lifts its sere and withered form,
Scathed by the lightning’s sudden stroke,
Sternly to meet the coming storm;
Yet round the sapless trunk will twine
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart
Not to the passion-blighted heart.
My life is like the desert rock
In the mid ocean lone and drear.
Worn by the wild waves’ ceaseless shock
That round its base their surges rear;
Vet there the sea moss still will cling.
Some flowers will find a cleft to spring,
And breathe e'en there a swcJt perfume;
For me life's flowers no more will bloom.

The Revolution.
For long years, and to the South,
bitterly trying years, (says the Rome
Commercial) fanaticism lias rioted in
its carnival of abused power, and held
riotous saturnalia, while one half of the
government were battling almost hope
lessly against every misfortune that
could confront an oppressed people.
Yet we knew, and those of the North
who were with us knew, that “Truth
is mighty and will prevail.” And at
last the old proverb is most tbrillingly
illustrated as one by one—even Radical
Massachusetts—the States are w heeling
iuto the old Democratic line, and rais
ing the old Democratic banner, that
has been soloug furled, and shouting
the old Democratic battleerv with such
earnest expression, it seems to us, that
never have greetings sounded so sweet
ly since the angelic host sang “ Peace
earth, good will to men.” The
ard, know full well that there is but
one cause, end that i~, intimidation.—
The devil-inspired party, as that ven
erable Christian statesman, (ierritt
Smith, styled the Democrats, have so
frightened the peace loving Radicals
from the Passamaquaddy bay to the
Rio Grande, and that many of them
iu sheer terror, have voted the Demo
cratic ticket, and yet, more of them
have abstained from voting at all.—
(Rcnewtsl laughter.) And as if there
urge
crowd and they were successful. The
officers of the Agricultural Society
should lie very careful lest the great
ends of the organization are defeated,
and see to it that what was originally
intended to l>e a farmers’ exhibition,
be not changed into a carnival of pa
rade and display and a mammoth
gambling concern.—Advertiser.
We were deeply pained to note the
open and shameless gambling which
seems to have lieeome an established
and most disgraceful feature of our
State Fairs. We do not allude to

my friends, I pray you, don’t think me
frivolous because 1 talk iu this way.—
Year after yenr, our victories in the
South, have been falsely attributed to
intimidation, and member after mem
ber of Congress, duly elected, has lost
his seat upon this false charge. At
every election, for years, Southern
outrages has been the battle-cry of
Radical politicians in the North, and
the justification for laws that disgrace
civilization, and usurpations that lay

“ If you ask me the reason of thi;

sistently set at nought every instance
of feeling, habit and teaching of the
American people. Americans are a
constitution loving people, but no re
gard has been paid to the constitution
by our rulers. Americans are a libs
erty loving people, but liberty has been
remorstly trampled under foot. Amer
icans are home rule loving people,
but home rule 1ms been treated with
scorn and contempt, and Congress as
sumes and exercises the power of an

TOO HOOD.
AYc sec it stated that when
Henry Wilson went up to see
Grant tho other day, Grant re
marked : * lie probably wants to
give me a lecture. Let him go
hire a hall, if he wants to lecture.’
This reminds us of a story which
the late General William IliUyer
used to relate. When IliUyer
was on Giant’s staff, Rawlins came
to him one day with a story to the
effect that Grant had made a
very sarcastic remark about him
(IliUyer). Hillycr immediately
sought Grant’s quarters iu great
indignation, determined to resign
on the spot if Grant had actually
made the remark attributed to
him. He found the hero of Pitts
burg Landing intently examining
some maps. * General,’ said Hill—
yer, * Gen. lJiiYvlins tells me you |
said so suid so al>out meis it true
that you used those words?’-—
Grant looked up from his work
and replied, with what IliUyer
used to call * his peculiar plaintive
smile :’ ' AVhy, my dear IliUyer,
you know I never said as <rood a
ithing as that in my life!’ AVc
fear that the suggestion to Grand
ma Wilson to 'go hire a hall,’is
too good a thing for Grant to have
said. However, yvc can’t say for

You will therefore please write

If you have any diaries, metno-

is convcrtablc into gold on de

favor of thc white race, no dis
crimination iu favor of the color

Hon. Thomas P. Janes is progress
ing in bringing to ' iglit the many re*
sources of onr dear old State. ' Wc'*
have recently received (remarks the
Grecnesboro’ Herabl) his circular,
which is filled with information of the
most cheering character, every branch*
of industry seems to be in a flourishing
condition, and greatly on the increase.
The manufacturing iutetest is daily tic*
velopiug new enterprises; cotton and
wool factories, carding machine., foun
dries, furnaces, nail factories, all show
nn increase, both in numbers and pro
duction. And in agricultural products
the statistics are very encouraging. In
the year 1873, of wheat raised in tho
State, there was nearly 850,000 bush
els ; cotton, 504,253 hales | com, over
10,000,000 bushels; rye, 23,125 bush
els ; sweet potatoes, 2,623,885 hushefs;
sugar, 502,310 hhls. ; syrup, 108,426
gallons, together with tho articles ot
dried fruit, tobacco, barley, hiifi
ground peas, wine, cider, Ac. Df.
Janes is indefatigable in getting his de
partment of agriculture fully under
way, and he has already ncamnpilsfifef
wonders in surmounting formidable
difficulties with which ho necessarily
had to contend iu tho (ftitset, embrace
ing, as this department doe*, so many
branches. With his known energy nfttf
systematic regularity, he will soon have
everything connected with his depart-*
ment gliding like clock work.
