THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. POETRY. ' TIRED, SO TIRED ” [The fallowing poem appeared borne years ago, and w;i« greatly admired at the tini o: Tired, so tired! Heart and soul and brain Utter the same sad plaint, Feel the same dull heavy pain ; Tired of the ceaseless struggle, Os the everlasting strife, Os the weary waiting and yearning That the children ol' uteu call “use.” Tired of listening for voices That never wiil come any more, Waiting lor the sound of footsteps That have passed to the other shore. Weary of rejoicing and sorrowing, Lot mg and hoping in vain, Tired of endless striving For that which I never shall gain. Weary of thinking, thinking, O soul! wilt thou never eease ? Worn out, aud tired, and weary, Shalt thou never know peace • In Heaven ? Ah ! even that word tfecnis a meaningless one to-night, For it scciueth my tear-dimmed eyes Could not hear Heaven's glorious light ; That I’d Weary of the endless singing, And my filtering, stammering tongue Could not raise one “Hallelujah,” Could not join the angels' song; And amid the bliss of Heaven, The bright angelic throng, 1 should still be tired, weary, And long to be alone. Tired, so Hied! All earth luk.es up the sad refrain, „ Tired, so tired! Murmur the wind and rain. Oh! for rest, That heart and brain aud will Might cease their aching, thinking, working, And be still. Oblivion’s sleep would be so sweet, No more to know Aught of life’s yearnings, hopes, or fears, Its joys or woe. A dreamless sleep, though ages pass Still to sleep oil, in perfect rest. Eternal life, 1 know 'lis great, Hut oh! to-night, it seems a weight My spirit cannot hear. I cannot think of life without its strife, its cares; How can my soul live on, And yet its suffering gone? Eternal life! No, far more sweet Js uever-endiug, dreamless sleep. And yet, O coward soul! What dost thou say ? Wouidst fling thy heritage, Blood bought, away ? Father, forgive; 1 know Thy word is true. I do believe in Heaven is perfect rest, All sorrows cease; Thy weary children there find perfect peace. And yet, O God 1 forgive, i ki»w, but cannot leel; Teach me to trust Thee more, These wild thoughts still. Tired, so tired! Each thought comes with a throb of pain. Hut anoluer morn will come, I shall be strong again ; This weakness, weariness will pass away. God’s word is sure, “Thy strength will oe Even as thy day.” t To-morrow strength vvi.l come to meet life’s toil: Bravely bear sorrow’s sting, And Immortality will seem A glorious thing. But not to-night. My tear-dimmed eyes Cannot pierce life’s deep mysteries, God’s glorious purpose see ; Yet L do trust in Thee. O God! Thy sutfering earth-child keep ; Thou givest thy beloved, Aud 1 am weary, “sleep.” THE CHILD'S DREAM OF PARA DISE. BY M. J. O’C ALLAIIAN. "Nemo ante obit urn potent dice beat as.” I saw a land of beauteous woods and holds, A laud of hills with lovely vales oetweeu, Where every tree its wafted fragrance yields, And stands rejoicing in its robe of green. The flowers around my path in beauty stood, Like a sweet baud of liuked sisters sleeping, While the birds’ songs within the dark, green wood, Came amid smiling, though I wakened weep ing, . Mother! what land was that? “W;w it a land where goodly trees are seen ? Where fairest tlowers of every clime do meet ? And hast thou stood upon its hills of green To view its spreading beauties at thy feet?” Tall trees were there, where shadows fell like balm Upon the tlowers that round their bases grew; And iu the stillness of that deep, deep calm, The music from their branches fell like dew ; And there were silver streams withiu the vales, Whose waters pure the willows were em bracing, 0 , And nighingaies that toldfce wondrous tales, 1 Far mid the shade of palm-trees interlacing. | Mother! what laud w:is that ? “And was it brighter than thine own sweet home ? And were its flowers the ones thou lovest best — And wert thou happy when thy feet didst roam Far in the valleys where thy dreams did rest ?” Methouglit our home was where the roses twine, A bower of bloom beneath those summer skies; The shamroc k green and lofty eglantine Were there, w ith violets of a thousand dyes ; : Upon tlie far-otf misty lulls of blue A glory, as of countless suns, was shining, And m my heart a gush of fondness grew, While that deep joy around my soul was twiuiug. Mother! what land is that? “And didst thou see the dwellers of that land ?” 1 saw them on the hill and iu the grove, And white-winged children led me by the hand, And pressed around me with their looks of love; They sweetly warbled in an unknown air, Beside a fountniu that was ever flowing, Till every singer seemed to me as fair As if Heaven’s light upon each lace was glow - ing. Mother! what land is that ? “It is the land of Paradise, my child, Os every land, the brightest and the best! Where sorrow of its tears is all beguiled; And weary pilgrims find eternal rest. There may’st thou follow when my steps have gone, Before thee to that laud beyond the skies, And waking to behold a brighter suig Thou’lt softly murmur with a sweet sur prise— ■ Mother! wiiat land is this?’ ” | From the Louisville Courier-Journal. JACK OF CLUBS. Captain Jack, so grim and dirty, With his Modoes threc-and-thirty, For the troops of Uncle Sam Doesn’t seem to care particularly; But, with Modoes thirty-three, Dodges like the Frenchman’s flea, Shooting little slugs of lead All around his lava bed, Wrapping round his rugged form Suits of stolen uniform, Punctuating all his talk Witli the knife and tomahawk, Begging his pale face friends to spare Mementoes iu the shape of hair— Stock to fill his chignon store When the battle’s diu is o’er. Trump of Indiaus, Captain Jack, “Kight bower” of the “cut-throat” pack! Though five hundred troops surround him, He will not be caught—confound him! A Hartford man has left $20,000 for the support of lame horses. | TIIE CHARACTER OF CHRIST. I can attempt no analysis of this wondrous character. It needs no vindication. The moral and religious instinct of the world has confessed it. Eighteen centuries of the keenest criticism has only exalted it to the very highest place of human admira tion and homage. The uniform ver dict of friend and foe has been, “I find no fault in Him.” Jesus Ciirist is the one perfect man in the world’s history; the one hope of a world of sinful men ; so divine that the loftiest and purest do worship to Him—so human that the most, polluted and lost can weep at His feet, and little children can smile in His arms while He blesses them. His was a life in which there was no fault to be cor rected, no stain to be washed out.— Other men become good by learning, by growth, by suffering; Jesus was good, as pure when His life began as when it ended; advancing maturity was His only change. All human j excellencies blend in him in perfect proportion, an ideal of moral syinrne , try which has neither defect nor ex- ; cess. His was a wise, mature good - I ness; not as being ignorant of evil, ! j but as being infinitely above it. His self-consciousness is unlike that of all other men. Moses and Isaiah may tremble before] God, and acknowl edge their sins; Jesus never confesses defect, never indicates any feeling of unworthiness; no tear of penitence rolls down His cheek, no prayer for forgiveness escapes His lips. When He speaks concerning Himself, it is to assert llis own faultlessness, and to avow Himself the source of other men’s spiritual life. So transcendent I was He, that from the very be | ginning men revered His goodness as perfect, and bowed before it as divine. Virtues almost incongruous blended in Him—greatness and gentleness, j holiness and piety, strength and sym- j pathy. He is nobler than the great est man, more tender than the gen tlest waman. Earnest and absorbed in His work, with a passion that made him a mar tyr, He never even suggests the im pulsive enthusiast, the self-secluded zealot; Ile is always calm, clear, and wise. He verges toward no extreme. He is equally remote from asceticism and laxity; He repudiates no lawful enjoyment; He sanctions no single excess, lie always preserves the golden mean. He wondrously holds the balance of life. He plants His spiritual kingdom, neither in convent j nor cell, neither in church nor in rit- j ual observance, but in the market; and the house, in the secret place of | mail’s solitude, in the inmost recesses j of liis soul. He does not call the world into llis presence; He comes into the world, and sanctities all tilings in it by accepting them as ser-1 vice to Himself. The very concep-1 tion of his kingdom is a marvel.— i Making Himself its centre, He founds everything in it upon His own person and work. In His lofty self-con sciousness He speaks as none of the world’s instructors have dared to speak, prefers claims of which none of them ever thought. The kingdom that He conceives is so holy that the purest church ever falls short of it; it is so catholic that it includes men of every age, and race, and character; “every nation and kindred, people and tongue.” And this conception originated a niongthe mountains of Galilee, in the mind of a village carpenter, who knew little of the world—its nooks, its politics, its history, its geography, its races—who was brought up among the notions and prejudices of the most illiterate and exclus veoi ancient civ ilized peoples, a id who was put to death at an age when Socrates had not yet become a sage. He put forth his conception, moreover, at the very beginning of His teaching. It did not shape itself gradually, as His thought was instructed and stimulate ed by experience. His iirst procla mation was of this spiritual, holy, and catholic kingdom of heaven.— There is no indication of either growth or modification. The very first word of this young carpenter of Nazareth was that He was the Spir itual King of a universal and spiritu al kingdom ; the progress of which He declared should continue through I all the world’s history; the consum mation of which should be the con version and service of all its peoples. I The entire question of Christianity may safely be staked upon the mere conception of Christ’s character.— llev. Henry Allen, D. I)., in Faith and Free Thought. General Butler paid some SBOO,OOO, i several weeks since, for three hun- j dred acres of land lying on the north ern limits of Washington City. Real; estate men wondered and said that the shrewd Benjamin had for once ! been overreached in a trade. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial says that the commis sioners appointed by Congress to se lect a site for anew Presidential mansion have determined to recom mend the purchase of this very tract. Butler is doubtless overwhelmed with astonishment at this intelli gence. The shock to his nervous sys tem will, we fear, utterly prostrate him. A site for a Presidential man sion is good for SIO,OOO per acre. As Butler has stumbled on this piece of good luck, let him be magnanimous and divide with the commissioners. They don’t expect anything of the sort, we know, but it is best to be magnanimous. The people owe a large debt of gratitude to tiie father of ttie back pay grab, and will rejoice to hear of Butler’s accidental and wholly unexpected land speculation. Truly it is better to be born lucky I than with a set of gold spoons in one’s mouth. — Courier-Journal. In a recent address delivered be fore the Ladies’ Monumental Memo rial Association at Frascati, Father Ryan, the tirst poet genius of the South, pointing to a heavy bank of clouds that obscured the setting sun, among which vivid lightning inces santly played, beautifully said: “As yon sun goes clown behind a dark cloud, so went down the hopes of those engaged in the struggle for j Southern liberty; and as you now see the lightnings flashing and blazing I athwart that cloud, so leaped the I bolts of hate and persecution. But ; behind that cloud tho stars of hope ! are still shining,'just as the stars ot I our people; and as the sun will rise again on the morrow, so shall event ually rise up in all its splendor the I now"down trodden and partially ob* j scured cause of right and justice. A Poughkeepsie clerk loves the j very ground a highland widow walks I upon. It is worth S2OO an acre. SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSY ILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1873. “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.” Upon a recent occasion in Wash ington, Judge Embry, in introducing a Southern lady to an audience of la dies and gentlemen, paid the follow ing handsome tribute to the women of the South: “Ladies and Gentlemen: Twenty years ago all the Southern States were represented at this Capital by many of the loveliest and most accomplish ed ladies of America. They were in deed the queens ot American society in the highest intellectual culture, and in more than princely bearing or Oriental beauty. Hut war, with the devastations that follow in its train, lias, for more than a decade, swept with relentless fury over all the fair and fruitful fields of the South. It has desolated countless happy homes, curbed many noble ambitions, crush ed many bright hopes and anticipa tions, reduced to poverty and want thousands reared in affluence and wealth, and has hung the symbols of mourning throughout all the borders of that sunny land. This will not last always. Such a land, with such a soil and climate, andj above all, such a race of people, were not des tined by God and nature to utter ruin. “Her stricken and wasted fields will ripen again with their golden harvests, and her gardens will send the fragrance of their fiowers over all the laud. She will rise from her sor row and humiliation, from her pov erty and her ashes, because her very ashes will enrich her. “Here and there some child of ge nius, inspired by the historic memo ries and the grand historic; names of Virginia and the Carolines, of Geor gia and Alabama, of Mississippi and Louisiana, and of the land of Clay and Jackson, aspires to rival the for mer intellectual vigor aud the ancient glory of the States that were once the power and pride of the republic. One is fiere to-night .” These brave and good words found utterance in Washington; and the verdict, South at least, will be that Judge Emory, in honoring the wo men of the South, does honor to his own head and heart. —Columbia South Carolinian. LONG SERMONS. Spurgeon, the eminent Divine of England, ventures the following ad vice to Ministers of the Gospel: The speaker’s time should he meas ured out of wisdom. If he is desti tute of discretion, and forgets the cir cumstances of his auditors, he will annoy them more than a little. In one house the pudding is burning, in another the child is needing its moth er, in a third a servant is due in the family; the extra quarter of an hour’s prosiness puts all out of order. A country hearer once said to his pas tor, “When you go on beyond half past four, in the afternoon service, do you know what I always think about?” “No,” said the orator. “Well, then, 1 tell you plainly; it is not about what you are preaching, but about my cows. Tney want milking, and you ought to have con sideration for them, and not keep them waiting. How would you like it if you were a cow?” This last re markable inquiry suggested a good deal of reflection in the mind of the divine to whom it was proposed, and perhaps it may have a similar bene ficial effect upon others who ought to confess their long preachings as among the chief of tneir short-com ings. in general, a great sermon is a great evil. Length is the enemy of strength. The delivery of a discourse is like the boiling of an egg; it is re markably easy to over-do it and so to spoil it. You may physic a man till you make him ill, and preach to him till you make him wicked. From satisfaction to satiety there is but a single step; a wise preacher never wishes his hearers to pass it. Enough is as good as a feast, and better than too much. LET ALL THE PEOPLE SING. We have to learn that one of the most powerful ways of preaching the gospel is to sing* it. No power can stand before Christian song. The time was when Mear and Antioch and Windham and Dundee stood with the strength of archangels to marshal the troops of God ; but, for the last thirty years, our churches have.been going back in sacred mu sic. We have been under servitude to the artistic tastes of the world. In most of our churches, four persons are delgated to do this service. With a whip of scorpions let the nuisance be scourged from the house of God ; and, since no one can repent for us, and no one can die for us, let us sing out our sorrows over sin, and our tri umphs over the last enemy, and our anticipation of glory. When you die for me, and open the gate of Heaven to my departing soul, then I will let you do my singing. O sing, ye who are bought by love divine, and who are on the way to grandeur immortal —sing! While 1 stand here and ar gue about the things of eternity, you may argue back, and you may be more skillful in your argument against religion than I am skillful iu my argument for religion ; but who could resist the holy influence when, last Sunday night, this audience, like the voice of many waters, lifted its | unanimous song: Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live; Are not Thy mercies large and free V M iy not a sinner trust in Thee? — Taltnadge. A Druggist’s Mistake. —The Water bury American says: A story in circulating which tells how a fair ! young lady went to a drug store and told the man to fix her up one dose of castor oil, and to mix it up with something to take the taste away. The man told her to wait. —In a few moments he asked her if she felt like taking a glass of soda water. She aeccepted the invitation and drank the beverage. Presently she asked ■ the roller of pi 11s why he didn’t give her the castor oil. The man smiled a triumphant smile, and said: “Mad am, you have taken it I mixed a fearful dose with that soda water !” | She turned pale; she sank into a j chair ; she gasped: “Immortal love I wanted it for my mother !’’ “John,” said a stingy old hunk to j his hired man, as he was taking his j dinner, “do you know how many I pancakes you have eaten ?” “No.” I “Well, you’ve eaten fourteen.” j “Weil,” said John, “you count and I’ll eat.” TALENT AND RICHES. Nothing is more common than to see rank of riches prefered to talent, and yet nothing is more absurd. That talent is of a much higher or der of power than riches’ might be j proved in various ways; being so \ much more iudeprivable and indes tructible, so much more above all ac cident of change, and all confusion of j chance. Hut the peculiar superiori ty oftalent over riches, may be best discovered from lienee; that the in-j fluence of talent will always be the greatest in that government which is pure; while the influence of riches I will always be the greatest in that government which is most corrupt. So that from the preponderance off talent, we may always infer the j soundness and vigor of the common- j wealth; but from the preponderance i of riches, its <1 it.ige and degenera-J tion. That talent confers an inequal ity of a higher order than rank, ’ would appear from various views of j the subject, and most particularly j from this: many a man may justly thank his talent for his rank, hut no man has ever yet been able to return the empliment, by thanking his rank for his talent. When Leonardo de Vinci died, his sovereign exclaimed: “I can make a thousand lords, but not one Leonardo.” Cicero observed to a degenerate patrician : “I am the first of my family, hut you are the last of yours.” And since his time, those who value themselves merely on their ancestry, have been compar ed to potatoes—ill 1 that is good of j them is under the ground; perhaps it is but fair that nobility should have defended to them, since they never could have raised themselves to it. A Good Criterion. —The Cincin nati Enquirer says with much point j and force: “The character of Grant is better j shown in his appointments to office, than in almost any thing else. We see in them liis utter and shameless i disregard for even an unanimous] public opinion. We see his selfish-j ness, his ignorance and his incapaci ty. Thus, for instance, one Wm. if. Clark was elected to Congress from the IState of Texas, in 1808, by 8,000 majority. In 1871 he was beaten by, 4,000 votes. Hut the Governor, Da vis, through his influence, had the impudence to give him his certificate of election. The matter was brought before the House, and strongly par tisan as] it was, Clark being a Re-! publican and his competitor a Demo- I crat, only one vote was given for his ] retention in liis seat. His competi tor, with that exception, was unani mously admitted, so plain was the’ case. Thusdisgraced and humilia ted, Clark returned home and was ] almost immediately appointed by] Grant postmaster of the city of Gat- j veston, a position worthy of being filled by a trusty and honorable man. llis Custom House Collector, Patten, at Galveston, tilled the elevated place of a Confederate teamster dur ing the war, and, it is supposed, emi grated from New York during the interval of darkness between two days. He is a miserable carpet-bag ger, destitute of either duty or integ rity. Os this sort of metal does the! President fill his highest offices in J the South. Is it any wonder that de- ] faication and corruption are the or derof the day ?” Another Wild Man.—A corres pondent of the Cleveland Banner, (Tenn) says: The horrible sight of a hairy man has been seen in Fannin County, Georgia. He is wild and monstrous—he Mas been seen in hou ses carrying off women and children, lie is eight feet high, and is covered all over with black curly hair. He started from a house lately with a woman in his arms, but by the ap proach of two men she was released. The settlement was alarmed, and pursuit given on horseback. After a hard ride the monster was overta ken, and a terrible tight ensued, in which a man by the name of Hair crow was killed, and a horse had his tail torn off, and the pursuers were forced to retreat and leave the field in the posession of the monster. The settlers are arming themselves with guns and watching for him. He makes his appearancs just before or in time of a rain. A few years since there was a Pres- j byterian minister at Columbus, Miss i who had a horror of shouting in church, which fact was well known ; to his congregation. One day, after : he had preached a very spiritual ser mon, an old lady was observed to leave the church in a very hasty manner. Meeting her a few days al ter, the minister asked why she had rushed from the church so suddenly the Sunday before? “Well,” she responded, “the fact is, 1 wasso filled with grace in listening to your ser mon, that I found 1 couldn’t contain myself, so I ran over to the Metho dist church across the way and shout ed.” Young men who contemplate mat rimony with the expectation of “liv ing with the old man,” had better steer clear of this county. A worthy farmer who has several lovely daugh ters was asked by one of these “home hunters” if “Miss Mary marries will she still live at your home to make your life bright and happy ?” He skinned one eye, and replied : “No, sir! When one of iny gals swarms she must hunt her own hive.”—Cov ington Enterprise. The New York Sun, in its last is sue, says: “The main pillars whereon the su premacy of the Republican party | now rests, are the votes of ignorant negroes and carpet-bag adventurers in the South on the one hand, and on | the other corruption in every depart ment of the public service all over | the country.” This may bea trifling personal but it’s the way they put things out West. A St. Louis editor, in speak ing of a brother ink-slinger, says, “He is young yer, but he can sit as his desk and brush the cobwebs from the ceiling with his ears.” A white infant has beee found in the posession of two negroes in At | lanta. They state that a wealthy gentleman in Savannah paid them to take charge of it. A reporter for a Wisconsen paper ! writes : “Those w in* personally know i our esteemed fellow citizen, Colonel I , will regret to hear that he , was brutally assaulted last evening, ! put not killed.” Fail, Garften anil HonseMd. HE WOULD HAVE HIS GAR DEN. We suppose there is a time that comes to every man when he feels he should like to have a garden. If h“ takes such a notion he will tell his wife of it. This is the first mistake he makes, and the ground thus lost is never fully recovered. She draws her chair lip to his, and lays one hand on his knee, and purses up her lips into a whistle of expectation—the vixen— and tells about mother’s gar den, and how nice it is to have vege tables fresh from the vines every morning, and she will go right out and plan the whole thing herself, And so shed'. km. He takes his spade, and works himself into, a perspira tion, and she tramps around under a frightful sun lam net, and gets un der his feet a \ 1 shrieks at the won in and 1 Jos 's her shoe; and mak«*s him firsr vexed, aud th«>n mad, and then ferorfous. After she garden is spad ed begets the seed,and finds that she has been thoughtful enough to open the papers, and empty thirteen vari eties of different vegetables into one dish. This loads him to step out doors where he can commune with nature alone for a moment. Then he j takes up the seed and a hoe, and ai line and two pegs, and startes for the j garden. And then she puts on that 1 awful bonnet, and brings up the rear j with a long handled rake and a pock-! et full of beaus and petunia seed and dahlia bulbs. While he is planting; the corn she stands on the cucumber hills, and rakes over the seed pan. Tffen she puts the rake handle over j her shoulder and the rakes teeth into his hair, and walks over the other beds. He don’t find the squash seed »ntil she moves, and then he digs them out of the earth with his thumb. She plants the beet seed herself, putting about two feet of earth and sod upon them. Then she takes advantage of his absorption in other matters, and puts down the petunia seed in one spot, and after wards digs them up, and puts them down in another place. The beans she conceals in the earth wherever she can find a place, and puts the bulbs in the cucumber hills. Then she tips over tin* seed-p:vu again, and apoligiz s, and steps on two of the best tomato plants, and says, “Oh ! mv !” which in no way resembles what he says. About this time she discovers a better place lor the petun ia seed, hut have forgotten where she put them, she proceeds to find them, succeeds in unearthing pretty much ! everything that lias been put down. After confusing things so, there is no earthly possibility of ever unravelling them again, she says the sun is kill ing her, and goes over to the fence where 'die stands four hours, telling the woman next door about an aunt of hers who was confined to her bed for eleven years, and had eight doc tors from the city, but nothing would give her any relief until an old lady —but you have heard it before. The next uay a man comes to his ofliee to get the "pay for a patent seed-sower which his wife has ordered and he no more than gets away before the patten tee of anew lawn-mower comes in with an order for ten dollars, and he in turn is followed by the eorn shelier man, and the miserable gar dener starts for home to head off the robbers, and finds his wife at the gate with his own hat on, and about to close a bargain with a smooth-faced individual for a two hundred dollar mowing-machine, and a pearl-handl ed , ivory-mounted hay-cutter. He first knocks the agricultural imple ment agent on the head, and then drags the miserable woman into the house, and, locking the door, gives himself up to his emotions. — Dan bury News.
