THE REINED VILLAGE.
And now, to thee, lair village, dear nursling
of the hills,
The pleasant walks, ’mid shady groves, and
ripiing crystal rills,
Thy gardens sweet, and orchards rare, and
birds that sweetly sing.
And nature's erery behhson, an offering I would
bring.
Old Cassville, in thy early days, the Indian of
the wood,
Amid thy tall and stately oaks, in buckskin
garments stood ;
By nature, they were savages, but ’iw'as not by
their hands—•
Dear Cassville stands a monument of far more
savage hands.
Thou wert a place of quietude and sweet do
mos.ic joys,
Outstanding on the noble hills, were schools
for girls and boys ;
And no mean paltroon trained the thoughts,
but sages true and sound—
Taught the young idea how to shoot, in science
most profound.
Nor were they strict to bind the feet, Or hands,
when tasks were done;
But to the mill, or to the cave, or to thy banks
Tworun,
Full many a happy happy day, your.g men
and maidens fair,
Have whiled the fleeting hours away, ir. joyous
passtime there.
And on that blessed holy day, when the church
going bell.
Resounding o’er the echoing hills, and through
the fertile dells,
And thronging groups came wending on,
adown each crowded street,
To mingle in the solemn prayer, or join in
praises sweet.
And when the man of God arose, to bless the
waiting crowd,
And when to God, high over all, in humble
prayer, he bowed
In holy trust and godly fear, the waiting mass
stood still,
To hear the holy lessons taught, and learn their
Master’s will.
E’en thus it was in bygone days, when hopes
ttefe bright and fair;
But now the lyre has changed its note, the
minstrel changed his air,
The wind in whispering murmurs creep around
the ruined walls;
And owls and hats their vigils keep, amid those
blackened halls.
Sweet village, crowned with happiness, ere
war, with blighting hand.
Spread desolation dark and drear, athwart our
lovely land ;
Ere Sherman, with his Godless bands, of
mixed and mingled breed,
With wanton avarice, sword and brand, swept
mountain, moor and mead.
But hark ! from every mountain top, the trum
pet note is heard }
And springing from each cave and nook, with
sword and pistol gird,
Come stalwart men, and youths, and boys, all
ready for the fray—
And to he found at honor’s post, when came
the fearful day.
But oh! amid the clang of arms, and din of
battle strife,
llow many of those noble ones have passed
away from life I
For in each battle, lost or won, did Georgia
take her part,
As many orphan tears now tell, and widowed
broken hearts.
And thou, fair daughter of the hills, hath seen
the foeman stand
Amid thy streets, and pleasant walks, with
reeking sword in hard;
And thou Lath seer, thy homesteads laid in
ashes at thy feet—
The angels too, have marked the deed, and
wait the vengeance meet.
How oft., when winters dreary blast is sweeping
o’er (he plain,
I think of one bright happy home, shut in from
storm and rain,
And of the rose cheeked happy band, of chil
dren as they go
From house to house, to swell the crowd and
frolic in the snow.
But, what now are those happy homes the
towering chimneys show —
Outstanding monuments of shame, amid the
trackless snow;
And where, oh ! where, that gleesome band 1
as leaves of autumn, they
Have scattered; some to distant lands, and
some have passed away»
Sad desolation marks the spot; but still as
semble there
A few— to share each other’s toil, or join in
mutual cheer;
Nor will they, as the years roll round, forget
the appointed day,
To strew with flowers, those warrior’s graves,
from loved ones far away.
And will you, as you strew them wide, save
each a little flower
For one lone grave we stood beside, in Au
tumn’s twilight hour—
That hour, so fraught with loneliness, ere night
her curtains spread,
YS’e laid our warrior down to rest, among the
sleeping dead.
Dear Armour, thou wert first of many Southern
braves.
Who, in that sacred burial ground, have filled
their soldier graves i
And though dread war and battle clang have
rent the quivering a : r,
Theu still has slept, as sweetly on, as though
no foe were near.
And Avhen the quiet evening spreads its stilly
influence round,
How sweet to linger out the day, upon the sa
cred ground ;
To close the eyes to dying earth, and look be
yond the tomb—
The joyous hope of meeting there, robs death
of haif its gloom.
Rut, Cassville, thou art what has been, and
never more may be ;
But be thy future what it will, my heart still
clings to thee.

From the Hebrew Leader.]
A Hebrew Legend.
A rabbi’s lifk.
It was night; silence reigned. Sud
denly the SchulMopftr fancied he heard
the tiny mallet which he used morning
and evening to call the faithful to pray
er* rising and falling in measured
cadence.
‘That noise will not let me sleep,’
said he to his daughter, who also heard
the siight tapping.
‘Some one m t he street must he and ving,’
said the girl, shuddering ; and suddenly
she exclaimed, terrified : -Sckmah Is
rael; it must be the rabbi !’
Just then the hammer was motionless;
but without someone loudly knocked
at the window, and a voire was heard
shouting: ‘Awake! awake sand call
the people to the synagogue ; thillim
must be said, for the rabbi is dying !’
The silence of the night was broken
by the three well-known raps that were
heard at each door, and the daughter
of the Schulk/opfcr trembled in everv
limb as she heard her father’s steps
sonorous ou the hard pavement as he
hastily paccod front lIUUSt 1 f(? lIOIISP.
When the s.itiml of the last rap died
away, she thought: ‘Now the rabbi has
expired !’ and she shed bitter tears.
Rut the recital of l/iillim still held
back the soul of the rabbi, though the
shades of death that hovered around
him were not dispelled. Towards
dawn he was sinking fast, and his
disciples were loud in their lamenta
tions. They took wax and a wick ;
measured the dying man, and then
made a huge waxen taper of his height.
This taper was wrapped in a shroud
and carried to the cemetery, where it
was lowered into a new-made grave.
For all that, it seemed as though the
same measurement were finally to be
used to determine the size of the rabbi’s
coffin.
‘Cheat Clod ! great God !■’ cried the
disciples, ‘what shall we do to prevent
his death ?’
‘Come, let usgatMfr in years lor him,
said one of them ? ‘perhaps our Father
will hearken to our prayers.’
Then one of the youths went from
house to house, carrying a paper on
which the inmates were to write the
number of years, months, or weeks of
their own life whieh they would give
towards lengthening that of the rabbi.
The Schdklopfer's daughter was stand"
ing at her door just as the young man
passed by with his paper.
‘And you’ said he to the lass, ‘what
will you give towards the rabbi’s days?’
‘My life ! my whole life !’ sobbed the
gh'l,
‘Shall it be wtitten thus?’
‘Yes ; write, write !’
And the young man put down the
words as they fell from her lips.
From that moment the rabbi grew
convalescent and soon recovered. On
the morrow the corpse of a maiden
was laid in the cemetery ; it was that
of the Sdiulklopfer s daughter.
The young girl had hesitated but lit
tle when called upon to leave this earth,
and the labbi knew not how to erase
his own name from the book of life.—
When in the early stages ot recovery
he was overjoyed and in good spirits.
Fie long he grew mournful and pallor
blanched his cheek. None were aware
of the cause of his darkening sadness.
Nor was it known that, at the midnight
hour, when the rabbi was seated at his
desk studying the Gemara that lay open
before him, be heard, rising from be
low, a gently chanted song ; and that,
whenever he opened the window, he
held a maiden whose icy, death like
smile shone through the veil of dark
ness.
‘Now,’ thought the rabbi, -now she
might be free and gladsome as the bird
that flutters in mid air!’
And, amid the gloom, hot tears
dampened the pages of the tome.
Once, towards midnight, loud cries of
anguish resounded from without—
strange exclamations, such as are
wrenched from a mortal by physical
suflering. And, a few mnutes having
elapsed, he heard the wailing of a new
born child.
‘Curse upon me!’ exclaimed the
rabbi, ‘’tis 1 robbed her of this joy!’
And every night he heard the w tiling
of the child, ever and anon interrupted
by a heavenly cradle-song; and the
chant made him weep and weep again.
Six times heard he the cries of pain ;
then 3ounded the wail of the infant; and
then the cradle-song once mare, and a
pause. Again was a hymn of joy waft
ed on the midnight breeze, as the rabbi
thought:
‘Now her first child stands in the
house of prayer and reads his portion
and ’tis 1 that robbed her of her pride !’
Silense reigned again. Some years
rolled away and once more the glad
chauts resounded. The rabbi murmur
ed.
‘Now she would have led a daughter
tinder the nuptial canopy. Curse upon
me, that robbed her of her joys !’
When the voice was heard again,
there sounded neither laments nor sobs,
but never a rapturous song. And the
rabbi thought :
She would have been a happy mother
had I not destroyed her happiness!’
Thus did the rabbi live the life of the
maiden. He would have given much
to have hearkened, tl but once, to some
NO. 44.
bitter plaints in lieti of mirh hymns of
bliss. He might ibeu have known
that she would have learned the bit
terness of earthly misfortune. But his
prayer was never grant* and and he whis
pered, drenching the Gemara with his
tears ;
‘What! would she have been so hap
py !’
And then belonged for death, for the
vision made life hideous. Act death
came not at his bidding, and he grew
decrepid. The aged of the community
were buried long before he, and tin*
very beings whom in their childhood In*
had blessed, came to him sad and n\r
firm, shaking their crutches at Death,
but dying away at last, lint he, he
could not die !
‘When will the hour strike,maiden- ?
be often exclaimed ; ‘how long wuuJitet
thou live ?’
A length, at midnight, a cry of agony
awakened the slumberiog echoes
‘She is no more,’ said the rabbi,
‘God’s name he praised !'
And when the gray dawn put to flight
the shadows of darkness, his disci'pl-es
found him, with head pillowed on tins

counsel, picking up a large volume.
“There’s no use in your picking up any
books,” exclaimed the judge, angrily,
“I have decided this point.” “1 know
