Oh, sta^My thl^, •low-kailingjjr^u the bay,
Move slkwly on thy path—oiieJnMant wa§t^
And takoa message front.ray longing soul,
Ereftt yon pnsp beyond the Golden Gate. \
So smooth the ripples pl*Y around your prow,
bine the trailing rty above,
the winds that gently Am my brow,
Thou’It bear it safely to the land I love.
’Tie this: I miss the gmndenr ol ita bills—
IU sunny Tales, and brooklets mad with glee—
Its long, bright days full of all calm deli^hU
A od nighU replete iritlfcbeauty’s harmony. -
and flow,
tonWntr^sparfcllng waterfalls;
And rising in their solemn msjesty,
Impervious and grand, its tine walls.
I miss the flowers that grew In every nook—
Tho* others may be thought by far more lair ;
The yellow jewels nodding by the brook
To me arc dearer than these blossoms rare.
Oh, Trbite-winged ship, Gousp«>ed thee on tl.y way!
Grant thee fair breezes, calm the treacherous main;
So longingly my anxious heart will wait—
My sad eyes watch thy coming once ag?ln.
Bring me a breath from ofT my native hills,
Fill thy soils full of my free mountain air;
Catch the rare tints of Southern sunset skies,
Paint oil thy canvass scenes so bright and fair.
Coiuo to me laden with the breath of flowers,
That used to fill my tiny baby hands;
Bring me n branch from the old maple tree
Beneath whose shade the little cottage "lands.
Kind angels guard tliec on tl»y trackless way,
And keep me safe who fur thy coming wait,
Till 1 shall see thy swift sails once again
Pass homeward bound, within the Golden Gate.

of the territory of Clarke County.—
The third section of the Act creating
this new County, requires that an elec
tion be held in April next “ for all
County officers necessary for the 01-
ganizntion of said new Couuty.
Its fourth section declares that “ all
officers now in commission within the
limits of said new County, shall hold
their commissions and discharge the
duties devolved upon them, until the
date when their terms of office expire
by law."
The Clerk of the Superior Court,
the Ordinary and Tax Receiver live in
Clarke County as now existing, the
other County officers of old Clarke are
within the limits of Oconee County,
The question put by the letter is,
“ What officers in each County will
have to be elected in April next?”
By the Constitution of 1838, Art.
IX Code, SS 1319, 1320, each County
in the State has its full quota of
County officers, commissioned, as of
the County in and for which they
were elected. Clarke now has such

anil good vision which determine the
character of the shooting. A mirage
may give a false impression of the po
sition of the target, a puff'of wind may
carry the bullet out of the line in which
it is fired. The variation of a grain of
powder in the charger, or of a grain or
two of weight in the bullet, or the
rapidity or slowness of the combustion
of the powder, all affect the velocity of
the hall and the line of its trajectory,
or tho curve described by it in its pass
age from the gun to the target. In'
addition to all the qualities which a
good-shot at short ranges must possess,
the rifleman at 1UO0 yard ranges must
have intelligence of the highest kind
—that which enables him to observe
closelv and think logically.

Who Can Match This?—Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Baird, aged 74 and 72
years, respectively, of Green Village,
New Jersey, not Ion* since celebrated
their golden wedding. During the
festivities the old gentleman very gal
lantly proposed to kiss his wife for the
Ji:>t time in his life.
The old lady said as they had lieen
married for fifty years, and lie had
never before thought of making such
a proposition, she should decline, which
she did. Where is there another couple
of which the same can he said ? We
scarcely think there ever was one.

Happy Homes:
Wc pity the man, however
prosperous his pecuniary condi
tion, or however great his fame,
who has not a happy home. A
happy home is the heaven of thW
life. Yet many of our most dis
tinguished men have not been for
tunato in this respect. They
have been made to feel how un
satisfactory was tho world's npi
plnusc, of the position] of official
power, while all was cold, heart-,
less or unsympnthizing iu their
private homes. And these tfrt-
happy matches have liot always
been made from motives of ambi
tion. They have seemingly been
the misfortune of chance. —
what a terrible misfortune !
the distinctions iiY the wor
affords no compensation for such a
deprivation. There is something
inexplicable about many unhappy
matches. A young couple irfairr
from actual preference for each!
other, and from no motive but sin
cere affection ; hut a want of con
geniality is subsequently de
veloped, aud a wretched home for
life is the result. Blessed indeed,
and more highly favored are they
whose homes, from beginning to
end arc always happy.
