I’M GROWING OLD.
BV JOHN G. SAXE.
Mv days pass pleasantly away,
My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep,
I feel no symptoms of decay,
I have ho cause to mourn or weep ;
My foes are impotent and shy,
My friends are neither false nor coid;
And yet of late I often sigh—
I’m growing old!
My growing talk of olden times*
My growing thirst for early news*
My growing apathy to rhymes,
My growing love of easy shoes,
My growing hate of crowds and noise,
My growing fear of catching cold,
All tell me in the plainest voice—
I’m growing old!
I’m growing fonder of my staff,
I’m growing dimmer in the eyes*
I’m growing fainter in my laugh, .
I’m growing deeper in my sighs,
I’m growing careless in my dress,
I’m growing frugal of my gold,
I’m growing wise, I’m growing—yes—
I’m growing old!
I feel it in my changing taste,
I see it in my changing hair,
I see it in my growing waist,
I see it in my growing heir;
A thousand hints proclaim the truth
As plain as ever truth was told,
That even in my vaunted youth—
I'm growing old !
Ah, me! my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears ;
And every boon the hours bequeath
Rut makes me debtor to the years;
E’en flattery’s honeyed words declare
The secret she would fain withhold,
And tell me in “ llow young you arc ! ”
I’m growing old 1
Thanks for the years Whose rapid flight
* My sombre muse too gladly sings ;
Thanks for the gleams of golden light
That tint the darkest of their wings :
The light that beams fr6m out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
There all are blest and none shall sigh—
I’m growing old!
The Washington Patriot says : A dele
gation from the South who called upon
President Grant at Long Branch returned
to Washington very much disgusted. His
Excellency, it seems, refused to sec them,
but gave them to understand that his house
at Long Brach was a private residence,
and that for official business they must take
their chances of catching him in Washing
ton. The delegation, it is understood,
oame from an impoverished portion of the
Southland had no presents to offer. Nor
was there any money in their mission.
[From tlic Gwinett Atlas.] *
CONFEDERATE DEAD.
We would call our readers’ attention to
the lottery in our advertising columns, by
which it is expected to raise the amount
necessary to build a suitable monument to
the Comfedernte dead of Georgia, and to
those soldiers from other Confederate States
who were killed or died in our State.
It is proposed by the originators that
this monument shall cost 850,000, which
sum i 9 to be raised by the sale of tickets.
Price, 85 each. They offer, as induce
ments, one prize, in real estate, valued at
8150,000.
We presume that in this prize is embod
ied, first, the price of the monument;
next the expenses, which, in all such un-
be very heavy—the sin
gle item of 10 per cent, agents’ commis
sions oh 8250,000 would be 825,000; and
to this would be added the printing, sta
tiobery* postage, etc., etc., and the remain
der would be the amount to be paid to the
owners of the gold and copper mine.
The 1,744 prizes are in United States
currency, the highest of which is 810,000,
the lowest 810.
"While we would prefer that this monu
ment should be erected by the voluntary
contributions of our people, wc must admit
that this is impracticable. The Washing
ton Monument is not yet finished, notwith
standing the very great efforts made, all
over the United States, to obtain the
amount required for its completion.
Prom “ White’s Statistics,” we learn
that, in 1825, Gen. Lafayette laid the cor
ner stone of both the Pulaski and the
Greene monuments, apd every effort was
made to raise the necessary funds, but
without success. Pinally, the citizens of
Savannah adopted the lottery plan, hav
ing obtained a charter for that purpose
from the Legislature; and in this manner
the two monuments were erected.
The expenses to be incurred in the one
plan are not less in the other. Both plans
must have paid agents, stationery, print
ing, postage, etc., etc. It is true, the prin
ters, in both cases, are called upon to do a
gfeat deal of the work without fee or pe
cuniary reward. But all of that class can
live on hope, as their list of subscribers
shows. We do not complain in this case,
for we perform a sacred duty in eheerful
ly giving aid to the erection of such a
monument. We would forfeit our right
arm rather than not have our name enroll
ed among its builders.
We call upon every man, woman and
child who respects courage, virtue, con
stancy, truth, to come forward and aid in
building a monument to the Confederate
dead. Let them not forget that “The
Boys in Gray,” whose devotion and hero
ism we would forever commemorate, died
in defense of constitutional liberty—their
birthright.
The parties who have control of this en
terprise are all men of the highest char-
JC Generals W. H. T. Walker, W. D.
Smith, John K. Jackson, and tho youth
ful Girardey, are beneath the sod—the
life-blood of two staining tho battle-field—
that of Girardey, oh the'day after his pro
motion, the soil of Virginia; that of the
heroic Walker, the bills of Atlanta. Gen
erals Wheeler, Boggs and Cumming are
absent from their native county. These
are represented on the list of commission
ers by their kinsmen or friends—gentle
men of the highest character intelligence
and social position. Here, also, we find
the names of Generals McLaws, Gardner,
Wright, Bryan and Stovall, who are still
residents of old Richmond ; and well may
she be proud of these, her sons.
It was fit and proper that those who
had been leaders in the camp, the march,
and on the battle field, should commence
this enterprise.
Some there are who say that wc “should
not decorate our soldiers’ graves”—“should
not build monuments to the glorious dead” —
our dead—that, by so doing, we perpetu
ate sectional feeling. We are not among
that number. We say: Georgians! if
you value your liberties, and the liberties
of your children, “ forget not your dead—
your glorious dead!"
It is understood that this monument
will be built in the county contributing
the largest amount. This is fair, and all
we could ask of tho originators, who are
all from Augusta. Though we would pre
fer to see our capitol thus adorned, yet, if
another city is more liberal, we will not
complain.
Wc also understand that, at the proper
time, the commissioners will appoint spe
cial trustees from the leading Confederate
officers in the different sections of the
State, who will determine upon the loca
tion and plan of the monument.
Wc would suggest that an association
be formed in each county, to select a stone
and engrave thereon the name of the coun
ty, and such other inscription as might
be chospn—this stone to. be placed in the
monument.
Caimot the ladies take this matter in
hand? Will not our fair readers of Gwin
nett act upon this suggestion, and select a
suitable monumental stone?
Wc would also suggest that “JdT Da
vis’' be selected as the orator. Let us
have a suitable monument, and an orator
suited to the occasion.
The inducement offered will draw titan
ey from beyond our State; but unless our
citizens, men women and children, come
forward promptly and purchase one or
more tickets, the day of the drawing must
be postponed. For such delay we hope
there will be no necessity.
The famous Mount Cenis tunnel is not
a success. A locomotive and train of cars
has passed through at the cost of the lives
of two engineers who died of suffocation.
The idea that a constant draught of air
would be passiog through the opening has
proved a fallaoy, and no adequate means
have yet been devised for its proper ven
tilation. Now is the time for our New
Orleans inventors to test the excellence of
their new motive powers. The pneumatic
car, or Dr. Lamm’s ammonia engine, would
overcome the smoke difficulty, and by as
sisting. ventilation probably reduce tile
high temperature of the interior, which is
pronounced another great though not fatal
obstacle to its success. It will be remem
bered that the drilling of the tunnel itself
was accomplished with a compressed air
engine, and the woudef is they have not
yet experimented with the same power in
rnnnig trains. But no doubt the great
engineering skill which built the tunnel
will yet prove perfectly capable of entire
ly triumphing over all obstacles.
JV. O. Times.
Bowen. —ln our notice of this pardon
ed martyr, yesterday, we did not state the
case strong enough, in reference to his
“change of colors’’ during the war He
was cashiered for embezzlement while a
Confederate officer, and Was in prison at
Charleston on a charge of murder, wheu
the Federal forces took the city and re
leased him. It was after this that he ren
dered the “good sci vice to the Union cause’’
for Which, io part, Qcn. Grant pardoned
him. It does not require a very lively
imagination to apprehend the nature of
the “good service” which he rendered.

ces,” but we are told that “while they

tor.”— Columbus Enquirer.
Another Big Western Farm.
Another Illinois farmer has got himself
into the papers. It is M. L. Sullivan, of
Livington county. Ilis farm is eight miles
square and contains 40,960 acres, sub-divi
ded into thirty-two farmsof 1280 acres each.
There are 13,000 acres in cultivation, of
which 10,000 are planted in corn, the re
mainder being devoted to grazing, small
grains aud grass. There are 250 miles of
hedge besides other fencing on the place,
and 150 miles of ditches. Four hundred
horses and mules and two hundred men
are employed—also one surveyor, two book
keepers, four blacksmiths and eight car
penters. An accurate account is kept with
each farm, and with each man, horse aud
mule—horses and mules being all named
or numbered, and charged with amount
paid fpr then) aud their food, and credited
with their labor. The Whole of this land
was entered from the government about
twenty years since by its present owner
at 81 25 per acre. The farm at this time,
with the improvements made upon it and
personal property connected with it, is
worth about 82,000,000.

A New Cotton Press.
The Memphis Avalanch makes men
tion of a new cotton press which, if cor
rectly represented, seems destined to su
percede all others now in use. It can
compress 70 bales or 35,000 pounds iuto
such a compass as will enable them to oc
cupy the the space now necessary to con
tain 37 hales. The bales Come from un
der the press equal in size, and either cyl
inder or octagonal in shape. Ninety bales
caD be pressed in an hour, and it is claim
ed that not only can the press be run with
more economy than any other now in use,
but that the tying of the bands and the
sewing of tho heads can all be done after
the bales pass out of the compressing cham
ber, thus saving tho time that is lost in
doing this work while the halo is in the
press, as is now the case. The Avalanch
says the press, which is called the “Aoni
hilator,” will be in operation at Memphis,
New Orleans and Savannah by the time
the present growing crop begins to come
forward.

Abtemus Ward’s Last.— The Mow
ing is said to have been the last thing writ
ten by Artemus Ward: “ Until quite re
cent I’ve been a healthy individooal. I’m
nearly sixty, and I’ve yet got a muscle in
to my arm which don’t make my fists re
semble the trade of a canary bird wheu
they fly out and hit a man. Only a week
ago I was exhibitin’ in East Showboygan,
in a bildin’ which had been formerly ocke
pied by a pugylist—one of the fellers what
hits from the shoulder and teaches the
manly art of self-defense. And he cum
and sed ho was goin’ in free in consequence
of previ’sly ockepyin’ sed bildin’ with a
large yellcr dog. lie sed, ‘Oh yes ;’ I sed
Ob, no.* He sed, ‘IJo you want to be
ground to powder V I sed, ‘ yes I do, if
there is a powder grindist handy,’ when he
struck me a distinguishin’ blow in my left
eye, which caused that concern to close at
once for repairs; but lie did’nt hurt me
any more. I went for him energetically.
His parents lived near by, and l will sim
ply state that fifteen minutes after I had
gone for him, his mother seein’ the pros
trate fofta of her son appraochin’ the bouso
onto a shutter, carried by four men, run
out of doors, keerfully looked him over and
sed, ‘ My son, you have been foolin' round

out with the straw, and then got up on the

TitE Gay Mr. Greeley. —The pink
eyed philosopher, during his recent trip
through the South, appears to hare allow
ed his frivolous disposition to get the bet
ter of his gravity. In the following note
which appears in the Memphis Appeal, he
appears in the lively character of a confirm
ed coquette :
“ Seeing the name of Horace Greeley
in the colloms of your paper, I presume he
is the same elderly gentleman who, when
in Texas, would trifcl with the feelings of
a lone widow, who lost her husband in the
late war. The exact word 9he used was,
“he came to heal tho wounds caused by
the late war, and he offered the hand of
fellowship, that all parties he reconciled.”
As a modest woman, I did not accept his
proposal, although I intended to do so, had
he pressed his sute. He has failed to do
so, however, and I have cincc learned that
the gay deceive!’ has a wife somewhere in
the State of Now York. Please pass him
round. Yourn,
“ Widow MAloone.”
The New Orleans Buletih publishes the
following anecdote of the celebrated Do
minican fryar Roeco, of Naplc9 :
“ One day he was prcachiug to a crowd
in the market-place. .
‘ This day,’ he said, ‘ I will sec if yt>U
repent of your sins.’ Thereupon lie com
menced a penitential discourse that made
the hair of the hard-hearted multitude
stand upright; and when they were a!!
on their knees, gnashing their teeth, boat
ing tboir breasts, and putting ou all imag
inable signs of contrition, he suddenly cried
out, ‘ Now you who truly repent of your
sins hold up your hands.’ There was not
one present who did not immediately stretch
out both arms. ‘ Iloly Af’ohangcl Michael,’
then exclaimed liocco, ‘ thou who.with thy
adamantine sword, standcst by tho judg
ment seat of God, hew off every baud that
has becu raised hypocritically.’ Tnstautly
every hand dropped, and lloceo poured a
fresh invective against the siufulucss and
perversity of his audience.”
One of the St. Louis Mrs. Jellyhys gc*
down to tho police station every Sunday
morning, and assists in lecturing the poor
devils cooped in there by the police over
night. She dropped in as usual one Sun
day, picked outa subject and went for bin*
She said she was glad to sec him sober
once, as she could see by his looks that he
was not often so; urged him torcforui and
lead a different life, and added an assurance
that if he neglected the warning he would
catch h—l Columbia in the next world just
as surely as the police judge would give
him next morning. A few minutes later,
slio saw that maD seize a Bible and prayer
book and proceed to open the regular ser
vice of the day, and learned, on inquiry*
that he was a regular preacher, invited for
tho purpose. It iagencrally surmised that
she doesn’t take so much iutcrest in police
stations now as she once did.
