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. The British profited by Arnold’s “servi ces,” but we are told that “while they loved the treason they despised the trai 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. ♦ ♦ One of the very best liniments that was ever made for man or beast is composed of equal parts of laudanum, alcohol ami oil of wormwood. Its effect is almost magical. Man must have occupation, or be miser able. Toil is the price of 6leep and appe tite—of health and enjoyment. The very necessity which overcomes our natural sloth is a blessing. The editor of a religious paper, which had one mouth’s precarious existence in Chicago, says that it is a good city for a religious paper, provided Satan has three pages of it itu'l the other page is rnued. 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 a thrashin’ mashcen, You went in at one end where they put the grain in, and came out with the straw, and then got up on the thingumagig and let the horse trod on you ; didn’t you, my son?’ You can imagine by this what a disagreeable person I am when I am angry. 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.
