I low soon do the living forget tLe
(lead!
To-day, with sincere sorrow, is
borne to the grave a venerated parent
or a lovely* child, —an affectionate
husband or a'cherished wife—a dearly
loved brother or a devoted sister— and
to-morrow, new affections, shooting
out from the bleeding heart, attest the
power of 'Nature to heal the wounds
she inflicts, and soon the void is filled;
and were it not that the senses have
tangible evidence of the loved ones’
former existence, their very names.
might he erased from the tablet of
our memories.
But, whilst to die is, ordinarily, to
he consigned to oblivion, there are
deaths which are the birth of immor
tality !
"VV hen will the sacrifice of Leon
idas, of Curtins, of Wink dried, of
D’Assas, of Warren, of Pulaski, qf
DeKalb, and of others, who might he
mentioned, the glorious heroes of
former days, he forgotten?
And as high in the Temple of Fame,
and in characters as blight and as en
during, can we place the names of
Johnston, Jackson, Polk, and especi
ally him, since dead, primus inter
pa‘es, Lee—and many thousands o
others, who freely offered up their
lives ou the Altar of the South to se
cure what they deemed her rights and
interests, her honor and independence!
And however disastrous* may have
been the failure of the cause they
espoused, and whatever aspersions the
malignant may wish to cast upon
their memories, yet the world at largc
and especially we —and even their
enemies —cannot hut admire the noble
ness of the sacrifice, the willingness
with which it was made, and cherish the
glorious memory of their deeds as a
■priceless heritage of humanity! Who
among us can consent to forget them ?
Who will dare brand their names with
infamy ?
. And Georgia, too, lias her jewels
that glow with resplendent lustre in
the galaxy of fame.
But of such a list of heroes, where
on each name shines so bright, of
whom shall mention first be made?—
At the first great shock of arms fell
Bartow, Howard and others. They,
together with the pure and spiritual
Cobh, and Doles, and Wilson, and
Smith, and Semmes, and whole heca
tombs ol others, freely offered up
themselves on Virginia's soil.
- Mercer fell near the eastern shore
of North Caroliua.
The courtly Colquitt enriched with
historic blood the vale of Chickamau
gn -
The cldvalric Walker, whose name
is the synonym of all that is fearless
and daring, and hosts of others with
him, fell on their natal soil in defence
of our altars and hearths.
There is hardly a battle-field cast of
the Mississippi that has not been ren
dered sacred to us by its baptism with
Georgia blood ; and there is scarcely
a family in all the length and breadth
of the State that has not its fallen he
ro to lament.
From oui’ own county, manly forms,
once familiar in our midst, and ever
remembered with respect and adinira
tion, are missing.
The eloquent and soul-stirring Mc-
Daniel, * whose persuasive voice was
as clear and mellifluous on the battle
field as in the pulpit, shed out his
pious young life, so fulfr of hope and
promise, on “The Dark and Bloody
Ground.”
The genial, generous and whole
souled Fletcher heard the call of duty
in the counting-room., and, buckling
on his armor, went forth hut to fall.
And Shelnutt, the diligent student,
and Mabry, the premising young ora
tor of the Tallapoosa —all, all are dead!
Who does not remember Curtis, **
one ot the gallant survivors of the
Mexican War—the cool and quiet
gentleman—the unswerving friend —
the bright and enthusiastic Mason—
the chivalric soldier ? In yonder
cemetery he “ sleeps the sleep that
knows no waking’ till the last grand
trump shall sound the call to the final
roll of the universe.
And Black, he is gone, the devoted
and ardent Southron; the pious and
scholarly young Garrison, too: and
Long, and Mandeville, and the Gib-
and Morrell, and Stephenson,
and Grow, and the Moores ; and Ben
son, ami Avery, and the Becks ; the
Hands, the Daniels, the Ashmores;
and many, many others, whose mem
ories are dear to us, and whose names
and worthy qualities would gladly he
commemorated were there time on
this occasion.

Keep Your Word,
When you promise to do a thing,
he sure to keep your word, as well for
the sake of truth as in justice to
others. This very interesting story
is told of a hoy who was singularly
faithful to his word :
He had borrowed a tool from a
neighbor, promising to return it at
night. Before evening he was sent
a Way on an errand aVld did not return
till late. Before lie went ho was told
that his brothers would see the tool
returned. After he had come home
and gone to bed, he inquired and
found out that the tool had not been
sent to its owner. lie was much dis
tressed to think his promise was not
kept, but was persuaded to goto sleep,
rise early, and carry it home. By
daylight he was up but no where could
the tool he found. After a long and
fruitless Search he setoff for his neigh
bor’s in great distress, to acknowledge
his fault. But how great was his sur
prise to find the tool on his neighbor’s
door-step! And then it appeared,
from the prints of litUe hare-feet in the
mud, that he had gotten up in his
sleep and carried it home, and went
to bed again and knew net. Os course,
a boy who was prompt in his sleep
was prompt when awake. He lived
respected, had the confidence of his
neighbors and was placed in many of
fices of trust and profit.— Enterprise.

£sF°Two news hoys were standing
before a cigar store, when one asked
the other, “ Have you got three
cents ?” “ Yes.” * “ Well, I have
two cents ; give me your three cents,
and I will buy a five center ” “ All
right,” says No. 2 handing out the
the money. No. 1 enters the store,
procures the cigar, lights it and puffs
with a great deal of satisfaction.—
“Come now, give us a pull,” said No.
2. “ I furnished more than half the
money!” “I know that,” said the
snooker ; “ but I’m President, and you,
being only a stockholder, you can
spit.”
An editor relates how a colored
barber made a dead head of him. lie
offered him the usual dime for shaving,
when the fellow drew himself up with
a considerable pomposity, and said:
“I understand dat you is an editor.”
“ Well, what of it ?” said we.
“ We neber charge editors nuflin !”
“ But my woolly friend,” we contin
ued, “ there are a good many editors
traveling now a-days, and such liberal
ity on your part will prove a most ru
inous business.”
“Oh., neber mind,” remarked the bar
her, “ we make it up off de geinmen.”
A certan elder, who was noted for
seldom being up to time, seldo m an
iniated, and seldom very brief, once
kept a congregation Availing a long
time for his appearence, and when at
last he did come, he preachedjthem a
sermon of unusual length on the text
“Feed my lambs." lie had not fin
ished Avhen the original old minister
rose from a seat in the congregation
and said, “Brother, I had some
experience in raising lambs myself,
and I hava found that the following
rules are absolutely essential to suc
cessful lamb raising: First, give them
food in season ; second, give them a
little at a time, and third give it to
them warm."
XiQTA lady iu Memphis, Teun.,gi\-es
to the poor each year the sum which
she supposed woujd be Avasted on her
funeral, and has forbidden in her last
will and testament, any expenditure in
this behalf.
JSSiT’ “ The little darling, he didn't
strike Mr. Jones’ baby a purpose, did
he ? It Avas a mere accident, wasn’t
it dear?” “Yes ma, to be sure it
Avas, and if he does not behave him
self properly, I’ll crack him again.”
“ The Blues.”
Wo see not why this name should
he given to a cast down, disquieted
soul, tor blue is the color of gladness.
The melancholy mind seems to he
darkened, eclipsed, dreary, and som
bre, like the shade in a Rembrant
painting. It is strange that the men
who feel “the Blues” deepest, and,
sutler from it most, are naturally the
most joyful and humorous people.—
They have a keen sense of the ludi
crous side of things, and the natural
accompaniment -of this is a quick sen
sibility to sorrowful and to pain fie
things.
“ Tear? and laughter closely are allied
And Ihin partitions do their hounds divide.”
It is the speaker who has power to
make you laugh who is most likely
to cause you to cry. When the fa
mous clown, Grimaldi, asked a phy
sician to whom lie was unknown, what
lie must do to banish the blues, lie was
told to go sec Grimaldi, and laugh
and grow merry, “Ah, hut I am
1 Grimaldi!” was the clown’s sad an
swer. That is the law of compensa
tion, the swing of the pendulum ; the
higher you ascend in your joy, the
lower, you are east down in your sor
row. President Lincoln was rebuked
by certain of his advisers tor indulging
j in humorous stories while the country
i Avns wrestling for its life. It was not
! becoming, they said ; and ho answer
i cd that he told them to keep oil an
| overpowering sadness, tor there were
j times in his life when, if any soul in
i perdition felt more wretched than
j himself, he pitied it. Perhaps the
i reason why men of great humor and
I excessive lightness of heart are sad
, dened and oppressed by these periods
of gloom, is, that otherwise they
could have no proper pity or sympa
thy for their suffering neighbors, and
could not, indeed, understand the
dark side of human nature, for the
eye never sees so clearly as when
washed by a tear,
All our great poets have this melan
choly undertone. I find it in Shelly
when he sings:
“ .Oat of the Day and
A ioylias taken flight.”
In Wordsworth :
“ But yet I know, where’er I go,
That there hath passed away a glory from the
earth,”
In Tennyson :
“ The tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back tome,”
There arc a number cf causes which
may produce that unhappy state of
the mind called “the blues.” Ill
health will eat away the brightness of
a man’s spirits as well as the strength
of his body; and whenever we receive
a fresh visit from those old acquain
tances, cold and fever, there is sure,
to come with them their unpleasant
shadow, “the blues.” They hunt in
couples, this pain of the body and
gloom of the mind. No doubt it is
for this reason that bliss Florence
Nightingale urges us to make the sick
chamber as cheerful as the bridal par
ty. Flowers, pictures, pleasant talk—
anything that may keep the mind
from losing its spring and sinking into
sadness. It is true, also that pain of
the body disturbs the mind, so too
does it affect our religions thought
and feelings. Our faith, the bright
ness of our hope in heaven, our views
of the success of the gospel, would be
far more inspiriting if we were always
in good health. We think of a
gloomy Christian as one whose heart
is sat on by his stomach, and we im
agine a bigot to he a man whose liver
is not quite right.
Loss of property, failure in business,
hard times, or the fear of these bring
on the dark day, and fill the soul with
a foreboding. To fear that you are
about to lose your position in society;
that you can no longer live in the old
style, or visit the old companions:
that ever so many people will be pity-.
ingyou or blaming you; to imagine
all this, we say, is enough to give any ,
man “ the blues.”
Unrequitted love is another cause
of this melancholy. There is nothing
more difficult than to bring a rejected
lover to believe the proverb, “ There
are as good fish in the sea as ever j
were caught.” We laugh at the woe
be-gone appearance of a young fellow
who has all the woild before l*im
where to choose; who lias health, and !
brains and character, and yet will be
i sighing like a furnace because some!
girl has refused him.
It is very ridiculous—very absurd
and laughable, we say; hut it is no
no laughing matter to the victim.
Loss of friends is sometimes the
cause of this sadness. To lose out of
your life one whom you saw daily, of
ten advised with, sometimes leaned up
on, and always loved, is most melan
choly. For a little while this depress
ion is excessive, and seme tender
hearts sink under it. Yet, about our
dead we soon learn to feel restful, sat
isfied. "We get to gee they are better
, off Our selfishness is gone ; we would !
not have them back "again : and we
feel partly with Shakspeare :
“ Le; bin)
That would upon the rack of Ibis tough world
Strtlch him out longer.”
There are sadder partings, however
than those between the living and the
dead. As when a'ou both live and
move and have your being here, and
yet are no longer aught to one another.
Something has come between you—a
great gulf that neither may pass. We
think of two friends who stand close
together, as twin trees Avhieh crown
a mountain’s top, and then the earth
quake comes and cleaves the hill in
twain, and they, are parted forever.
Other an iar lesser things may
bring on the gloomy day. Simple
homesickness will do it. Evil news
of others—nay even a Aveek of un
pleasant weather is sufficient to affect
that delicate instrument, the mind.
The Lowest of Humanity.
On the Island of Borneo has been
found a certain race of wild creatures,
of Avhieh kindred varieties have been
discovered in the Phillippine Islands,
in Terra del Fuego, and in South
America. They Avalk unusually, al
most erect on two legs, and in that
attitude measure about four feet in
height. They are dark, Avrinkled and
hairy. They construct no habitation,
form no families, scarcely associate to
gether, sleep in caves and trees, feed
on snakes and vermin, on ants, eggs
and on each other. They cannot he
tamed or forced to any labor, and are
hunted and shot among the trees like
the great gorilla, of which they are a
stunted copy. When they are captur
ed alive, one finds with surprise that
their uncouth jabbering sounds like
articulate language. They turn up a
human face to gaze at their captors,
and females slioav instiuct of modesty;
and in fine, these wretched beings are
men.
U2L- Os “treating” T. K. Beecher

generous and treat each other, why
not select some other shop besides
the liquor shop? Suppose, as you go
by the post office, you say, ‘Come bo)'s

stamps will do your friends a real
good, and Avifl cost you no more than

to the counter, free and generous, and
say, ‘What style will you have? Why

whereby lie could cure himself of his

“Es llu’d Said Ducks.” —During
a class meeting held several years since
by the Methodist brethren of a South
ern village, Brother Jones went
among the colored portion of the con
gregation. Finding there an old man
notorious for his endeavor to serve
God on the Sabbath, and Satan the
rest of the week, he said :
“Well, Brother Dick, I’m glad to
see you here ! Haven’t stole any tur

Dick?”
“No, no, Bruddcr Jones, no tur

“ Nor any chickens, Brother Dick !
“No, no, Brudder Jones, no chick

“Take my Hat - The Origin of
til© Phrase.
Every one has heard this phrase
but few know its origii The follow
ing accent of it is good enough to be
be true :
Many years ago a fine looking old
gentleman from Western Virginia en
tered a store in Nashville, Tennessee
Said store was owned by a bluff, hon
est old trader, who knoAv more about
the quality of the counter than he did
about the fineness of the fabrics oii rit
—nevertheless, between the two ex:
treinities of that shelf contriving to
make both ends meet the necessity ot
the ease. The Virginian east his eye
around the shelves and finally remark
ed.
“Well, neighbor, I see you’ve got
hats.”
“A slight sprinkle,” was the answer.
“Whar ye from?”
“Old Virginia,” was the response.
“Right smart old State,” replied the
Tennesseean, “but getting rather too
old to keep her liar on."
“What do you mean?” inquired the
Virginian.
“Well, just Avhat I say, uncle; she
can’t keep her liar on; for instance,
uoav, I should think you have been a
right healthy child of the Old Domin
ion. but she has ‘shed’ you at last,
and, like Samson of old, that’s the way
she is losing all the best bar off her
head.”
The old Virginian looked around
the store rather bothered Avith the lib
erty this Tennesseean Avas taking with
his mother State, and finally remark
ed :
“I came here to talk about hats,
stranger, and not liar.”
“Well, Avail uncle, don’t get Avrathy
uoav. I Avas only venturing a politi
cal opinion about population in gener
al, and on that Avon’t quarrel, hut
before avc look at the hats, as they are
intimately connected with the heads
spose Ave take a mite of bald fuee.”
The proposition was agreed to, the
liquor Avas imbibed, and next folloAv
ed the hats.
The merchant tossed doAvn four or
five wool hats of various sizes, and in
vited the old gentleman to select one
which would lit him. He looked at
them, examined the sizes, said they
Avould do, and requested the store
keeper to hand him a feAV more.
“That is all the sizes I’ve got,” said
he, “but here’s a few more, if you’d
like them better,” and so saying he
tossed down three more.
•“Them arc all right,” said the old
Virginian, turning them around, and
the stout old store keeper, blowing
with exertion, decended from his
perch, Avhere lie Avas straddling from
shelf to counter. As soon as he reach
ed the floor, the old Virginian re
marked that he had not sot enough
yet.
“Oh, you want cm for your nig
gers?” says the storekeeper. “Well
why didn’t you say so when 1 was up?
and again proceeded to perch himself
up like a mercantile Colossus. When
he had hlowed himself into 1113 for
mer position, the old man quietly re
marked':
“Why, stranger, I Avern’t talking’
anything about niggers!” The fact is
the old man was enjoying the extra
trouble he had put the Tennesseean
to.
“Well, what do you want with so
many hats?” •
“I want them for my sons,” said
the old man.
The store keeper began do count
them on the counter. “Eight,” said
he, “a pretty big spread of' hoys al
ready, I'll swear, hut here he goes ;”
and added one, and then another, and
yet a fourth, and picked off a fifth,
and finally seeing the old man immov
able, he tossed down three more, and
Avas about to descend himself, when
the old man told him to hold on and
throw down a few more.
“Oh, come, uncle,” said he, “you
are joking,’ but to please him, he
threw down tAventv.
“Ifiats just one too many,” said
the old man.
“\V hat—you don’t mean to say that
you have nineteen sons ? Whar, in
the name ot the State of Tennessee,
are they ?”
“They are in Tennessee—right here
in the 1 city—up at the hotel,” ieaid the
man.
“Stranger,” said the store keeper,
“if A'ou can shoAV me nineteen boys of
your raisin,’ thar’s the hats.”
“Hold on, then,” said the old man,
and off lie started. In about ten min
utes down the street he came, lead
ing a line of nineteen boys, marchiit j
single tile, each hearing a good 'mm
and followed by their venerable moth’
