My Last Night In Athens.
Tie night, dark night, thn twinkling sun,
Lika gem*, now gleam in night's dark crown;
No cloud comas o'er her (sec and mar*,
No tempest make* her brow to frown:
Theo, night, I’ve aeon In yean now flown,
I’ve peered and mnaed when yaulh was bright;
But raid the thought* now gone
Came there tha ones which come to-night.
Alone, alone. I broach life's sea—
1 launch my bark upon the main ;
But when the storms—alas! poor ms,
Win e'er I reach the haven again ?
No beacon lures with friendly beam,
I'm wandering In conflicting doubt.
But from the changing forms which serin,
I'll have to make my pathway out.
Campus, August 5, 1873. O. F. 0.
The Silent City.
There la a fair, .'air cl :y.
Under lha moon to-night,
TFhsre every tower and portal
la pearly, pearly white;
Bale flowers are softly kissing
Each pillow's marble foot.
And grasses lift the dew drops
Like fairy, gem-like fruit.
Sweetly on dome and turret
Is shed the luitrous glow.
With purest radiance flooding
The silent nooks below;
And tracery rich and faultless.
Woven of light and shade,
Qleameth In moveless beauty
Along aaeh dim arcade.
The world la. full of voices
Its rushing will not stay,
But at this charmed enclosure
The echoes melt sway.
There la no aouud of music,
No footsteps peaceful fall— '■ ’ i
They of tbs moonlit city
Are aloapws, sleepers all,. . ,
When summer night* arc ftiaeit '
My spirit sndta and wakes
To walk tha silent city,
Beloved, for your sakes.
I kneel, with lean and blessing,
Where those low tablet* stand.
And give once more my darlings
To their Redeemer's hand.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
INTEREST AS BA8ED ON ECONOMICS.
Editor Northeast Georgian:—Since
writing my last, work has engrossed
my attention. This will explain the
temporary interruption of this discus-
>; ii. The considerations urged in fo-
Voi of education by the State, in the
last paper, were so strong ns to leave
us no election. The only alternatives
which they presented were public edu
cation, or the overthrow of popular in
stitutions. The considerations to be
presented in this paper are not, to my
mind, so strong. They appeal, not to
the instinct of self-preservation, but to
the desire for power, position, influ'
ence.
they
the advocates of public
themselves, they might not bo suffi
cient to justify the public school policy.
They are rather in the nature of culs
minative argument. Thus they ap
pear to me. To others they may seem
to have more force than the considera
tions urged in the last paper. How
ever they may be ranked relatively,
they have their place in this discussion,
and cannot be omitted. I propose in
this paper to consider the influence of
education upon the productiveness of
labor. Lord Bacon’s celebrated apho
rism, "Knowledge is power,” has been
quoted hundreds of times. Ho might
have said with no less truth, money is
power. The auswer to the oft repeat
ed question, hovy shall we regain our
former position of power and influence
in the union of these States? is partly
found in the declaration above made.
Providence has blessed u* above most
other nations and peoples in the abend
anoe and richness of our material re-

Dr. James S. Lawton, of Forsyth,
will remove at once to Atlanta, for
the purpose of assuming editorial con

The Atlanta Herald records the dis
covery, on the line of Fulton and De-
Kalb counties, of gold deposits, which
will yield from 880 to $100 per ton.
Mr. John G. Eckroon, of Macon,
claims to own the first locomotive ever
run in America. It is a working mod
el, and weighs less than eight pounds.
The Atlanta Herald says there is a
proposition on foot to have a grand
central camp meeting for the Metho
dists of the State, and Stone Moun
tain is talked of as the proper location
of it.
The geological exploring parties
have visited over fifty counties in this
State, and have more than five thous
and specimens, which arc forwarded
to the Geological Department at At
lanta.
Miss Louise W. King, of Augusta,
Ga., who tuts devoted a great deal of
her time in preventing cruelty to ani
mals, and building up a society for
this purpose, has been presented with a
diploma by the Royal Association of
Great Britain.
The stockholders of the Augusta
Factory have decided to issue bonds
to the amount of $300,000, as a com
mercial capitol for that institution.
This is one of the soundest and most
prosperous manufactories in the South,
its stock lieing quoted at 150.
No GitanO 1 Bills.—A couple of
our leading farmers discussing the dry
itherand gloomy crop prospects
last Tuesday, one of them remarked
that he would have no guano bills to
pay this year. He added also, that
thus far, he has paid cash for all
form supplies purchased. Such men
will live in spite of short crops.— Fin-
dieaior.
From a letter to Col. R. W. Jones,
from Gen. A. H. Colquit, we learn
that a deputation of Englishmen, reps
resenting the Mississippi Valley Trade
Association, will visit Dalton next
week for the purpose of being present
at the meeting of the Agricultural
Convention, which convenes here on
Tuesday. Rooms have been secured
for them at the uew hotel.—North
Georgia Citizen.
Col. Frobell, withacorpseof Survey
ors, was at Covington week before last.
He has just commenced the survey of
the Yellow River from that point to
Maoon. He is still hopeful of the
completion of the Atlantic A Western
canal. He says there is nothing in the
way of the building of the great enter
prise, but the money. After full ins
vestigation and actual survey »? most
of the route, he is convinced that his
first impressions were correct.
There were shipped from the saws
mill of Messrs. Phillips A Rainey, in
this place, to Atlanta, last week, 12
car loads of lumber.
The arrivals of pleasure and health
seekers in onr city are almost innumer

an exaggeration, but the plain unvar
nished truth, to say that the country
press so-called, has, since 1865, per
formed more and better work than the
newspapers of the large cities have
done in a generation. With everything
against them, coldness at home, lack
of sympathy abroad, the country edi
tors and printers—and the majority of
country editors ore printers—have
toiled zealously, conscientiously, hero
ically, and against great odds, achieved
success. In instances innumerable,
this unfairly conUmned country press
has caused the wilderness to blossom
like a rose, by infusing a spirit of true
enterprise among readers that the city
journals could not reach, and if they
did reach them, could do no good; for
the publishers and editors of the city
journals, in the nature of things, knew
less than nothing of the needs and ca
pacity i of districts they had never
seen, perhaps never heard of.

What are Woman’s Rights,—
The following lines set forth, more
beautifhlty than all the so-called advo
cates of “ woman’s rights ” have beeu
able to do, what exalted prerogatives
nature has bestowed upon women:
The right to wake when others sleep;
‘ right to watch, the right to weep;
right'to comfort in distress;
The right to sooth, the right to bless;
The right the widow’s heart to cheer,
The right to dry the orphan’s tear;
The right to clothe and feed the poor.
The right to teach them to endure;
The right, when other friend* have flown
And left the sufferer all atone,
To kneel that dying couch beside .
And meekly point to him who died;
The right a happy home to make
In any dime, tor Jesus’ sake,' m* 1
Rights such as these are all we crave,
Until, our tast—a peaceful; grave.
