THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. POETRY. B *•' ,:W Georgians will read the following patriotic poem, by one of Georgia’s most gifted and worthy eons, without feelings akin to those which inspired it: o THE RED, OL1) HILLS OF GEOR GIA. »Y lION. HENRY K. .JACKSON. The red, old hills of Georgia! Ho bald, and bare, and bleak, Their memory tills my spirit With thoughts I cannot speak. They have no robe of verdure— Stripped naked to the blast— And yet of all the varied earth, 1 love them best at last. 1 love them for the pleasure, With which my life was blest, When erst I left, in boyhood, Viy foot-steps on their breast. When in the rain had perished, Those steps on plain and knoll, Then vanished, with the storm of grief, Joy’s foot-prints from my soul. The red, old hills of Georgia ! My heart is on them now Where, fed from golden streamlets, Ocean’s waters flow, i love them with devotion, Though washed so bleak and bare; Oh ! can my spirit e’er forget The warm hearts dwelling there? 1 love them for the living, The generous, kind .and gay, And for the dead who slumber Within their breasts of clay. I love them for the beauty That cheers the social hearth ; I love them for their rosy girls, The fairest on the earth ! The red, old hills of Georgia ! Oh ! where upon the face Os earth is Freedom’s spirit More bright in any race? In Switzerland and Scotland Each patriot breast it lills; But, oh ! it blazes brighter yet Among our Georgia hills! And where, upon their surface, Is heart to feeling dead ? Oh ! when has needy stranger Gone from those hills unfed? There, Bravery and Kindness For age go hand in hand, Upon your washed and barren hills, “My own, my native land!” The red, old hills of Georgia I never can forget! Amid life’s joys and sorrows, My heart is on them yet; And when my cause is ended— When life her web has wove— Oh! may I then beneath those hills Lie close to them I love! THE ROTTEN CROSS. It lias been many a long day since then, yeti remember it till, just as though it had occurred but yester day. 1 was a carpenter, the foreman of a large establishment, and as such pos sessed the entire confidence of my empplyer, who, by the wav. had been fiee to look at some rare coins he had just purchased. “Here ,” said lie, placing in my hand a heavy gold peiee, “is one which is worth more than all the rest put together. It is a great curi osity. I paid £2OO for it, and consid er it cheap at that. I could easily double my money in selling; and so you see, Harvey, it is really a good investment.” “No doubt it is,” said 1, “though it seems a large sum to have lie idle.” I breathed an involuntary sigh as I laid the coin down on the desk, for £2OO would have seemed a fortune to me just then. The severe ill ness of my wife, and one of my children, and the death of another, made serious inroads on my purse, and it had required the exer cise of the utmost economy to keep myself from debt ; nay, I had been obliged to withdraw from the bank tie small sum, which, besides my salary, was all I possessed of worldly treasures. Thinking of this, I laid the coin down with a sigh, and turn ed away to attend to my duties. The next morning I was again summoned into the office, but this time I met with no friendly greet- ing as usual. “Harvy,” said ray employer, ab ruptly, “that coin we were looking at has disappeared. I have made a thorough search, but it is not to be found. It has been carried away by someone. You alone saw or knew of it, and—'” lie paused and looked significantly into my lace. I finished the sentence for him, the hot blood dying cheeks and brow as I spoke. “You mean therefore, that I took it—l!” “What else can I think? The com was here; you alone saw it. I can not recall having seen it since it was in your hands. Your are in need of money; you have told me that your self. It was a great temptation, and I forgive you because ot our old friend ship, but 1 cannot retain you in my employ. Here is the salary due you.” “Very well,” said I, with forced calmness, “so be it. Since you have so poor an opinion of me after years of faithful service, I shall not stoop to defend myself.” Then I took the money he had laid upon the desk, and went out from bis presence a well nigh broken hearted man. But for the tender love of my wife, 1 doubt not but that 1 would have buried my sorrows in the grave of a suicide. Supported by that love, however, and the consciousness of my own in nocence, I took fresh courage, and set resolutely to work to find an em ployer. ... , But powerful is a breath of slander; turn which way 1 might, I ever found that the story of my dismissal for theft had preceded me, and my application for employment uniform ly met with a refusal. Time went on; piece by piece our furniture and every spare article of clothing found its way to the pawn brokers, until, at length, even this poor resource failed us, and my chil dren cried in vain for food. Yet I did not sit down in idle des pair ; I could not afford to do so ; the life or death of all I loved on earth depended on my exertion -and so turning away from them with a heavy heart, I once more set out on the weary search lor work. All in vain! refusal after refusal met my entreaties for employment, and I was turning homeward with a listless step, when, passing an im raence church, I was attracted by a group of men at its base. Impelled by some strange impulse, I approached and mingled with them. A workman was standing near by, looking up at the great steeple which towered aloft some 250 feet above them, while a gentleman, evidently an architect, was addressing him in earnest language, and, at the same time, pointing towards the golden cross at the summit of the spire. “I tell you,” he exclaimed, as I drew near, “it must and can lie done. The cross must be taken down, or the first heavy gale will send itdow n into the street, and lives will be lost. Coward! E this the way you back out of a job! after engaging to do it ?” “1 didn’t know the spire was so high up there. Do it yourself if you want it done!” “I would if I were able,” said the architect. But go if you will; let it lie! My honor is pledged to have it done at any price—and I can find a braver man than you to do it.” The carpenter walked away with a dogged, slouching step, and the gen tleman about to move away, also when 1 stepped forward. “What is it you want done, sir!” I asked. “lama carpenter; perhaps I can do it.” He turned eagerly towards me. “I will make it worth your while. Take down that erossand I will pay you a hundred dollars. You will have to ascend these ornamental blocks, and I tell you candidly they are not to be depended on ; they must be weak and rotton—for they have been there for years.” I looked up at the spire; it was square at the base and tapered to a sharp point, while along each angle were nailed small gilded blocks of wood. “It’s a dangerous place to work,” I said, “and there will be even more peril in decending than in ascending. Suppose I succeed in moving the stone, and then—” “If any accident happens to you, my brave fellow, the money shall be paid to your family. I'promise you that. Give me your address.” “Here it is,” I said, “and as you value your soul, keep your word with me. My wife and children are starv ing, or I would not attempt this work. HI die they can live on the hun dred dollars for'a while, until my sick wife recovers her strength. “I’ll make it a hundred and fifty !” exclaimed the architect, “and may God protect you! If I had the skill necessary to ascend that steeple, I would ask no man to risk his life there. Rut, come, and keep a steady hand and eye.” I followed him into the church, then up into the spire, until w T e paus ed before a narrow window. This was the point from which 1 must start on my perilous feat which I had undertaken. Casting a single glance at the peo ple in the street below—mere specks in the distance—l reached out from the window, and, grasping one of the ornamental blocks, swung myself out unou tho-snlm. ing family came to my aid, and with a silent prayer for protection and suc cess, I placed my hand on the next block above my head and clambered up. From block to block I wentsteadily and cautiously, trying each one ere 1 trusted my weight upon it. Two-thirds of the space had been passed, when suddenly the block that supported me moved—gave way. Oh, heavens! never, though I should live to see a hundred years, shall I cease to shudder at the recollection of that terrible moment. Yet, even in the midst of my ago ny, as I felt myself slipping back ward, I did not for one second lose my presence of mind. It seemed to me that never before had my senses been so preternatural ly acute as then, when a horrible death seemed inevitable. Down, down I slipped, grasping at each block as I passed it by, until at length my fearful course was arrested and then, while my head reeled with the sudden reaction, a great shout came up from the people below. “Come down, come down!” called the architect from the window ; “half the sum shall be yours, for the risk you have run. Don’t try again! Come down.” But, no! more than ever now I was determined to succeed. I was not one to give up after having underta ken a difficult task. Coolly, but cautiously, I commenc ed the ascent once more, first seek ing in vain to reach across the next row of blocks, for I did not care to trust myself again on that which had proved so treacherous. This I was compelled to do however, until the space between the angles became suf ficiently small to allow me to swing across. After crossing this, at length, l went up more rapidly, carefully testing each block as I proceeded. Ere long I reached the cross, and there I paused to rest, looking down from the dizzy height with a cool ness, that even then astonished me. A few strokes with a light hatchet that the architect had hurg at ray hack and piece by piece the rotten cross fell to the ground. My work was done, and as the last fragment disappeared, I found a sad pleasure in the thought that, should I never reach the ground alive my dear ones Mould have ample means to supply their wants until my wife could obtain employment. Sad and cautiously I lowered my self from block to block, and at length reached the spire window, amidst the cheers of those assembled in the street. Inside the steeple the architect placed a roll of hank notes in my hand. “You have well earned the money,” lie said. “Itdoes me good to see a man with so much nerve—but—bless me! what is the matter with your hair? It was black before you made the as cent, now it is gray /” And so it was! That moment of intense agony, while slipping help lessly downward, had blanched my hair until it appeared like that of an old man. The vvork of years had been done in an instant! Entering the bare, cheerless room which was now all I called a home, I found a visitor awaiting me, my late employer, “Harvey,” said he, extending his hand, “I have done you a great wrong. It cost me a terrible pang tc believe in your guilt, hut circumstances were so strongly against you, that I was forced to believe it. I have found the coin, Harvey; it slipped under the secret drawer in my desk. Can you forgive me, my dear old friend". My heart was too full to speak; I silently pressed liis hand. ‘I will undo the wrong I have done. SAJIUEL 11. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITOBS AND PROPRIETORS.

Unmerited prosperity has attended my steps ever since that eventful day nut neither prosperity or wealth can etlace its memory from mv heart, nor restore my withered locks to their own raven hue. THE FENCE LAW—TREES— TIIEI It INFLUENCE UPON CLIMATE— THE WEATHER AND HEALTH IN CITIES. Editor Savannah Republican .-—As you are aware, the last Legislature , passed a law leaving it to the differ ] ent counties as to whether the citi -1 f ens should fence in their stock and ! lhiv Ve ii hei i r fields °l ,en > or whether i tf an ’ n , ow in vogue,-Should control. Several of the counties have taken a lively interest in the matter, and many are the points made for and against the plan. THE FENCE plan as now required, takes an im mense quantity of timber to keep the lields well protected against the roaming stock, especially in South ern and Middle Georgia. The ques tion however, turns upon other im poi taut facts that deserve considera tion, and as those questions are an swered and proved, the plan should he adopted. It is not a question of convenience or labor, but one health, weather and seasons. trees. The effect of trees is to cool the temperature in summer and soften the cold in winter; to keep the giound moist, and to aid in the pro duction of clouds; to shorten droughts and make .more sure the crops. ,\; “ ere there are no trees there is very ittie rain, and, in many instances, deserts, trees promote the general Health of a country, and especially in cities. J WHAT TIIE LEAF DOES. A writer, who has studied the philosophy and understands the laws or nature, gives the following facts that are worthy of thought. The leaf pumps water from theground through the thousands of tubes in the stein of the tree, and sends it into the atmos phere in the form of unseen mist to be condensed and fall in showers. 1 ateer-frikr every square inch of leaf lifts 0.035 of an ounce of water every twenty-four hours. Now, a large forest tree has about five acres of foliage, or 6,272,630 square inches. This being multiplied by o.o3s—the amount pumped by ev ery inch—gives us the result, 2,252 ounces, or eight barrels in a day. The trees on an acre give 800 barrels in twenty-four hours. An acre of grass or clover or grain would yield about the same result. The leaf is a worker, too, in another field, and all for the good of man. It carries im mense quantities of electricity from the earth to the eloulds, and the clouds to the earth. Then save as many trees as possible, and if fencing in stock will do it, let it be done. EFFECT OF CUTTING DOWN TREES. It is well known that after the for est is cleared from anew region., the swamps dry up, marshy places be come solid ground, many springs fail temporarily or permanently, and streams grow small and many times dry up, and droughts become long and severe. A timber section should he cultivated and preserved and equalized as much as possible. A well treed section—good seasons. No trees—droughts and bad crops. TREES ALE IMPORTANT IN A CITY. Every Southern city, and especial ly those subject to epidemics in the fall, should be well planted with trees, and the longer the leaves keep green and continue to grow so much the better and more sure the health of tlie place. As is well known the leaf is an absorbent, and takes in all mephitic gases that would produce sickness and death if breathed too much, but on the other hand is the very life of the leaf. Dr. Stephen Smith advocates the planting of trees in all cities, and his philosophy and reasoning are both sound and logical, and I call the especial attention of the city Fathers of Savannah to the important fact. It is too late now to plant out trees, but next fall about the Ist of October is the time to set out trees if you would be sure of their living. Says Dr. Smith in speaking of trees: “One of these is to equalize the temperature of a city, and purify its atmosphere by causing a large num- | her of trees to be set out in various j streets and squares. The effect of trees is to cool the temperature in summer and soften the cold in win ter. “In a city like New York, (and es pecially in a Southern city during the hot summer months) a vast quantity j of poisonous gases are being constant- 1 ly produced by the decay of animal, and vegetable substances. These j malarial and mephitic gases are sent forth in the greatest quantity during the night. Trees act on these poisons as a constant disinfectant. It is their property to take up, during the night, j these poisonous gases, and then to! pour forth during the day the health- : giving oxygen. Trees in a crowded j city are a self acting sanitarium. They neutralize malaria and absorb poisonous exhalations.” No malarial disease could possibly get foot hold in a city like Savannah at this season, when the trees arp ab sorbing every thing in the way of gases, and are young and growing. In the fall, the absorbent power is greatly diminished. The prevention of disease is thus seen to be simple and rational, and as au ounce of prevention is worth a dozen pounds of cure, let Savannah and every other Southern city that would avoid malarial diseases, stud their streets with trees; and lots with ever-green shrubs, grasses and flow ers that will continue to grow until killed by frost.

Take 1 part of rain water and the same quantity of sweet cider, put in a cask, barrel, jug or bottle, place it in the sun, and in a short time you will have as good vinegar as you ev er tasted. The smaller the vessel, the sooner will the mixture turn to vinegar. We have tried this simple recipe, and know it will do. B. STOPPING WASHES. A correspondent of the Rural Sun recommends the following mode: Cut pieces of the yellow locust roots a foot long; make holes witli a.sharp ened stake made with a footrest, like ; a boy’s stilt, and place the roots ini them in lines across the wash. Be-! hind and in front of these peg down poles, and between the lines of poles place ribbons of Bermuda grass sod well tramped in. The poles will keep the water from washing up the sod until it sends down its roots; that is all it asks. The locust roots will send up bushes which will soon be come trees. The grass will catch the sht, hold it, grow up as it rises; while the bushes will not only help in this way, but also arrest wash of all kinds. Eel ore one hardly realizes it, he has a gully converted into a gentle undu lation, and is in possession of a lot of fence posts, worth 50 cents for each seven feet in length. . Mellon Culture.— The best soil is that which admits of ready drain s’ge. Watery as the fruit is,' it does not require much rain to produce it. In fact, the vines flourish and bear even on a bank of sand. Select the lightest piece of ground available gray and sandy—and put it in good order, using plenty of well rotted manure to each hill. Digging holes of sufficient size, depositing the man ure in them during the Winter, is doubtless the method to be preferred but it this has not already been done we must resort to some other plan! Make an excavation and manure lib erally, with a view 7 of retaining mois ture in time of drouth. Much depends on giving the plants a vigorous start. Force their early growth with a free application of bone phosphate to the hill. Keep the ground clear of grass and well stirred until the vines begin to cov er it; but as the roots run to the full length of the vines, and grow as tast, the working should not be more than two or three inches deep. of late years on the subject or piougn ing and cultivating orchards. The season makes all the difference be tween success and failure. To cut the roots when the trees are growing, would be nearly as bad as to at tempt to dig them up and transplant them. The same cutting, performed late in au tumn, or early in spring, while the treej are dormant, would be no worse than cutting off'a portion of the roots in transplanting, or in root pruning, and the harm done, if any, would not be so great, inasmuch as not a tenth part as many roots are cut in cultivating as in digging up or root pruning. If orchardists will observe this distinction in the proper time of the year, they need not fear bad re sults which sometimes take place when ploughing orchards is done at the wrong time of the year. In the general absence of observa tions and instructions on this sub ject, we are glad to see a statement of experiments having a distinct bear ing on this point, in a late number of the Prairie Farmer, in a report of the Adams County (111.) Horticultu ral Society. We are informed that S. B. Turner, a worthy relative of Prof. Turner, when ploughing his orchard in summer or early autumn, the fruit invariably cracks and be comes badly damaged, from the check the trees receive and the subse quent second growth. When the or chard is ploughed just before freez ing (aftergrowth hasentirely ceased), harrowing, pulverizing and leveling the surface, both in autumn and in 1 early spring, “the fruit is fine, large j and smooth.” —Country Gentleman. THE GLORY OF THE FARMER The benefits conferred upon man kind by the former and the pleasure which attaches to his vocation, are charmingly portrayed by ltalph Wal do Emerson, in one of his essays as follows: The glory of the farmer is that in the division of labor, it is his part to create. All the trades rest at last on his primitive authority. He stands close to nature, he obtains from the earth, the bread and the meat. The food which M’as not he causes to be. The first farmer u r as the first man,' and all historic nobility rests on po session of land. Men do not like hard M r ork, but every man has an ex ceptional respect for'tillage, and the feeling that this is the original of his race, that he himself is only excus ed from it by some incidents which made him delegate it for a time to other hands. If he had not some skill which recommends him to the farmer some product for which the former give him corn, he must him self-return to the due place among the planters. And the profession has in all eyes its ancient charm as standing nearest to God, the first cause. Then the beauty of Nature, then the tranquility and innocence |of the countryman, his independ- j ence and his pleasing arts—the care jof beer, of poultry, of sheep, cows; the dairy, the care of hay, of fruits, I of orchards and forests, and the reac- I tion of these on the workman in giv i ing him a strength, and plain digni -1 ty, like the face and manners of Na | tore, all men keep the farm in re | serve as an asylum, where in case of I mischancej to hide their poverty, or ■ a solitude if they do not succeed in | society. And who knows how many 'glances of remorse are turned this { way from the bankrupts of trade, ! from mortified pleaders in courts and i senates or from victims of idleness land pleasure? Poisoned by town ! vices, the sufferer resolves: “Well, i my children, vvliom I have injured, i shall go hack to the land, to he reeruti | ed, and cured by that which should have been my nursery, and now shall be their hospital.” The Atlanta Constitution savs the Jinn of J. W. Burke & Cos., of Ma con, do not intend, as stated in the Christian Index, to move their pub lishing house to Atlanta, but that they will establish a branch of their book store in that city. A Fascinating young lady at a party in Tuscaloosa, a few evenings I since, was asked if she ever read Shakspeare. She replied with a toss I iof her pretty head, “Shakepeare? ( >f course I have. I read that when ! it first came out.” The telegrams of yesterday say that I .ellogg has raised an army and navy m Lousiana, and directed ‘the prose cution of MeEnery and his adherents ! “ ,r treason. His audaeifv befits the ! impudent usurpation whieh he has 1 accomplished with the aid of Grant. T t is generally believed now by meteorologists, says the New York Times, that we are to have a cycle of very hot summers. An eminent san itarian in the health department, I)r. j Stephen Smith, has already issued a I report suggesting measures during the coming summer which .will pre vent the fatal effects of the expected heat. The signs of a great poet are de seribed by a Chinese jou rnal, Zgang- Savia (Golder Tulip), as follows: A great poet must have externally the majesty of the elephant, in his eyes the vivacity of the partridge on his face the light of the full moon, and m his legs the activity of the stag. ' As to the inner furnishing of this zoological frame the oracle is si lent. The Mt. Emory Sabbath-school, in Blount county has adopted the fol lowing admirable pain to raise funds for Sabbath-school purposes: Each boy agrees to plant at least twelve hills of corn, cultivate it with his own hands, and give the proceeds to the school. Like wise, the little girls are to set one hen and give the pro ceeds to the school. A New Article of Export.— Our enterprising fellow-citizens, J. G. “Lurkamp, has received an order for fifty tons of sasafras roots, to be ship ped to Bremen, Germany. This ar ticles of commerce has only recently been developed in this latitude, and will no doubt become as extensive as thesummac trade, in which at least 8100,000 per annum is now expended here.— Fredericksburg Star. The supreme court of Illinois has j list rendered a decision confirming the principle that railroad corpora tions may not make contracts be tween themselves that are detrimen tal to the public interests, and that contracts which impair their duties as common carriers are void as to the THLolic even liiouy-h thw ma„ v.r. the follow ing recipe in an exchange: To kill a town, underrate every present and prospective enterprise, speak ill of the churches and schools, tell everybody the hotels are bad, withhold the patronage from your merchants and tradesmen, and buy your goods and groceries at some other place; and by all means go to the city for your millinery and such like; and If you are in business, re fuse to advertise.” A couple of Yankee girls put a bull frog in a hired man’s bed to see if they could not get him to talk. Dan iel threw the frog out of the window and never said a word. Soon after he put half a bushel of chestnut burs in the girl’s bed; and about the time he thought they would make the least shadow, Daniel went to the door and rattled it furiously. Out w r ent the candle, and in went the girls, but they didn’t stick, though the burs did. The last seen of Captain T. B. Cab aniss, the Secretary of the Senate, and brillant Solicitor of the Flint Circuit, was on the Western and At lantic railroad, en route for Carters ville with several suspicious packages Mr. Wylie, the popular conductor, was giving him some very sage ad vice upon the management of the nursery.

Stonewall J ackson. —The Southern Home learns from Gen. Pendleton that the English monu ment has been finished, hut has not been sentover, owing to the unsettled state of things in this country. This monument is an expression of res pect and admiration from the leading members of the British Parliament for the lamented hero, who died for the constitution of his country.! Among the contrbutors to the monu ment were Hon. Mr. Gregory, now Governor General of Ceylon, and Hon. Beresford Hope, long a leader in the councils of the nation. The Ties that Bind Us.— It is estimated that the number of rail road ties in present use in the United States is 150,000,000. A cut of 200 ties to the acre is above rather than under the average, and it therefore has required the product of 750,000 acres of wild-timbered land to furn ish the" supply. Railroad ties last about five years, consequently 30,000- 000 ties arc used annually for repairs, taking the timber from 150,000 acres. The manufaeures of rolling stock dis poses of the entire yield of 350,0Q0 acres more every year. It appears, then, that our railroads are stripping the country at the rate of 1,000,000,000 acres per annum ; and their demands are rapidly increasing. Cotton.—A correspondent of the Atlanta Herald, writing from Camp bell county, says: Something new in the cotton line has been originated in this vicinity in the last few months. Mr. Arch Smith last year produced nine hun dred (900) pounds of seed cotton per acre by sowing the seed broad cast. No labor was required but the pick ing of the cotton and preparation of the land. This has induced several other parties to try the same mode. Messrs. FrankJSuttles and J. D. Cook have each sowed six acres this sea son, two bushels being the amount of seed necessary per acre. By this mode no labor for cultivation is nec essary, from the fact that the multi plicity of plants prevents the grass and weeds from germinating, arid the plants die out in their develop ment to secure a proper stand.
