Fifth apd Last (lift Concert in Aid oftlic
Public Library of Kentucky.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The management have determined to have the
drawing of the Fifth and Last Gift Concert of the
Public Library of Kentucky, on the :Mi!h day of
November next. We believe now, that all the
tickets w{Jl be sold, and that the drawing will he
a full onejnut whether all are sold or not, the
drawinjTwfil nevertheless certainly come off’on
the day appointed.
The special object of this card is to call a meet
ing of the ticket-holders at Public Libnuy Hall,
on tho 20th of November, to make arramgeinelite in
connection with the committee apinduted by the
Trustees to superintend the counting of the* tags
representing tho number of tickets sold. While
there is no actual necessity for the presence of
ticket-holders, as under «>ur arrangements, the in
terests of all are equally cared l<»r, yet, at the same
time, I would greatly pteft-r that as many of those
interested as can, would attend this meeting, and
ja-e, each for himself, how perfectly fair aud im
partial the disttihiitioti must he.
Every arrangement has U*on made for the draw
ing—but little more than a month remains for the
sale of the remainder of the tickets, and whatever
isdoue must I* done promptly.

Oh, I’M sing to-night ol n fairy land, in th>- lap of
th. orran act.
Ami of all the lamia I’ve traveled o’er, 'lls the
loveliest I have met;
Where the wUloars weep, and the roses sleep, and
the balmy breetea Mow,
In that dear <dd land, that sweet old land, where
the beautiful rivers flow.
But oh alas! how can l sing?—’tisan exile breathes
the strain.
And that dear old land of uiy youthful lore I may
never sec again ;
And the very joys that fill my breast must ever
change to woe,
For that dear old land, that sweet old land, where
the hoaulifttl rhrets.Hoiri
Hut I’ll sing of the lonely, old churchyards where
our lathers’ holies are laid—
'M here the cloisters stand, those ruins grand that
our tyrant foes have-made;
And rilstrike'tlie harp with a mournful touch, till
theglist’niug tears will show,
For that dear old land, that sweet old land, where
the beautiful livers flow.
And I’ll sing of Emmet’s lonely fate, and of his
lonely grave— '* 1 ’ • • ■ •• U
Of hit early <lw>ro, and hi* Youthful bhWmi, and hid

And ah! lmw blent and calm hi* rest, tho* hi*

They won the crown--the martyr** crown—and
they deep in shade and rest;
In heavenly mould their names are rolled—1they
£ died in manhood’*glow,
For that dear old laud, that sweet old laud, where
the beautiful rivers flaw.
And I’ll sing of Ireland’s ancient days, whrn her
sires were kingly na*n, . •
H bo Its! the chase, and the manly rare, thro’
forest, field and glen ;
Whose only word was the shining sword—whose
pen, the (atriot** blow.

Congressman Rainey’s Suctes-
soh.—A strange turn in the remarka
ble. |HtliliciiI title has thrown to the sur
face a colored Democratic member of
CongreM frtmi Sonth Carolina. It
seems that Roincv, the present Republi
can member front that State, brought
to Washington a colored man named
Ijcc, whom he hail appointed oa the
Capitol police. When Rainey was
renominated this summer he sent for
Lee to come to South Caroliua and help
him among his colored friends. Lee
went down, looked over the situation,
saw the dissatisfaction existing among
his owu perple, and, derided to run
against Rainey. The Democrats took
him up and elected him. It will now
lie in ordcs for Lee to get Kaincv a
place on the Capita^ jutlicc force.

NV e hear many of our citizens (snvs

to do as the law requires, to have every

ty is a fine liy the United States Courts.
An official agent is now travelling over
the Sonth to ascertain who have neg
lected this provision. He gets half the
fine, and will do more than his duty.
We simply give the warning to our
people.

'Indeed!’ exclaimed Mr. Bishop,
'can that be true?. How did you
disguise yourself so well?*
'I was not so much disguised
after all, but you could not very
readily associate Mr. Merton, the
lawyer, with a poor wayfaring

Merton. • -> >
'Well,' it is a good joke,’said
Mr. Bishop;' good in more senses
than one. It has terminated very

'I was surprised,’ said Mr.
Merton, 'at the.‘broad and liberal

supposed I had greatly the ad

Convention of Confederate Soldiers.
A Convention of Confederate Soldiers
has been called, through the Atlanta
papers, the purpose of which is to
•'Organize an Association to bo known
ns the Survivors’ Association of Con
federate Soldiers of the State of Geor
gia.” The call is made at the instance
of over two thousand officers and pri
vates of the late Confederate army,
and the object in view is set forth os
follows :
The undersigned soldiers of the late
army of the Confederate States, assur
ed in their minds that much of the evil
consequent upon our late unhappy war,
has arisen from a demoralization’of the
public sentiment, by the intrigues of
unscrupulous politicians, and desirous
again to infuse into the public mind
and heart, such a spirit as we trust will
enable the prosperity of those who se
cured American independence and con
stitutional government in the revolution
of 1775, to preserve the same from the
spoliation of mere partisan jobbers in
politics. Anxious also to organize an
association of thesoldicrs who survived
the revolution of 1860, for social and
benevolent purposes, respect full}- ask
that each company of the different regi
ments and batallions, of all arms, who
served in the Confederate army from
Georgia, send two accredited delegates
to a convention, to meet in Atlanta,
on Wednesday, the 20th of January,
for the purpose of organizing an asso
ciation, to be known as the “ Survi
vors’ Association of Confederate Sol
diers of the State of Georgia.” It is
earnestly requested that this call ho re
published in the daily and weekly pa
pers of the state.
Arrangements are being perfected
with the different railroad companies to
secure half fare for delegates, who will
return home free of charge,
It is further requested that delegates
forward their- names to the 'Mayor of
Atlanta, that arrangements may be
made for their entertainment.

It is comforting to know, that
it is not the great, and the learned,
and the eloquent, that Christ
seems to stand closest by. “The
swamp-anger was a big gun, and
made a stunning noise, but it
burst lieforc it accomplished any
thing, while many a humble rifle
helped to decide the contest.
Christ made salve out of spittle,
to cure a blind man, and the hum

God, cure the blindness of the
soul.

A Solemn Word.—Eternity is
a solemn word and a solemn
world. The soul of itiait shrinks
back with dismay and dread from
entering that mysterious altodc of
spirits. And yet ail arc oil their
way to eternity, and must soon
enter it, and enter it aloue. But
how little think the gay ami plems-
urc-loviug, who tread so near its
dark shores, how soon thej’ . must
launch away mi that untried 1
ocean.
There are many pious people
1 who are as careful of their religion*
as of their best service of china;
only 7 using it on special occasions,
for fear it should get chipped or
flawed iu working day wear.
No woman can lie beautiful oy

The way to wealth is as plain as
the way to market. It depends-
chiefly on.two words, industry and
frugality; that is, waste neither
time nor tnoucy, but make the-
best use of both.
The manner of doing a thing al
ways, determines its-effect. The
greatest act may be spoiled by the?
way in which it is done, and the
homeliest act of kindness may lie
discharged with a grace that shall
hint of heaveu.
The world is governed by three'
things—wisdom, authority nml
appearance. Wisdom is- totf-

rough people, and appearance for
superficial people.
