SONG OF TIIE MYSTIC.
BY FATIIBU It VAX.
I walk down the Valley ot Silence—
p.wn lint dim, voice lens Volley—alone;
Ami I hear not the voice of a footstep
Around me—save God's and my own ;
And the hitdi of my heart Is as.holy
A- hovel - when angels have flo .a.
l..mg ago—l was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win ;
1, )ii»- siiro —1 was weary of noises
That 1 retted my soul with their din ;
Lons? ago—l was weary of places
Where l met but the Human—and Kin.
1 walked thro’ the world with the worldly ; I
1 craved what the world never gave;
And 1 aid: “In the world each ideal
Thai shines like a star on life’s wave.
1 tossed on the shores of the Heal,
And sleeps like a dream in the grave.” I
And still did I jiluc for the Perfect,
And still found the False will) the True; i
1 ought 'mid the Human for Heaven,
Hut 1 canglit a mere glimpse of its Blue; |
Ands wept when the clouds of Mortal
Veiled even the glimpse from my view.
And 1 toiled oil, heart-tired of the Human ; i
And I moaned 'mid the ina of men ;
'1 111 I knelt long at an Altar,
Aml h ard a voice call me since then
1 walked down the Valley of Hileuee
T Dial lies far beyond mortal ken.
I
Do you ask what I tumid in the Valley ?
’T is my trusting place with the Divine ;
And 1 fell at the lent of the Holy,
And above me a voice said : “Be mine ;”
And then rose from the depths of my spirit j
An echo “My heart t-liuil be thine.”
|).» you ask how I live in the Valley ?
1 weep- and I dream -and I pray—
But my tears are us sweet as the dew-drops i
That fall on the roses of May ;
And my pray’r like a perfume from censors, |
A eeudeth to God night and day.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
1 dream of all the songs that I sing :
And the music floats down the dim Valley |
Till each tiuds a word for a wing.
That to men, like the Dove of the Deluge,
The message of Peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are billows
That never shall break on the beach ;
And 1 have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech ;
And 1 have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And 1 have seen Thoughts in the Valley—
All, me! how my spirit was stirred!
And they wear the holy veils on their faces, !
And their footsteps can scarcely be heard.
They pass through the Valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.
Do you ask me the place of the Valley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care?
It licth far away between mountains,
And God and his angels are there ;
And one is tlm dark mount of Sorrow,
And one—the bright mountain of Prayer.

WATERING TIIE JUDICIARY.
The comments of frightened Re
publican journals upon the “Gran
gers” and the deterioration of the ju
diciary are very good as far as they
go. Rut they are lop-sided. T.iere i
is nothing very “new and startling” j
in the circumstances attending the !
election of Mr. Craig to the Supreme :
Court of Illinois, nor are the “absurd- ■
ity and deformity of the elective sys- j
tern” alone to blame for that incident. |
The case is far otherwise, and the true j
sources of the evil must be looked for j
much deeper than in the “Grangers” j
pimple. If in point of fact the action |
of the Granges is explained, flippant
ly it may he, but at all exactly, by j
the Cincinnati Commercial, when it!
says that the farmers think they
might as well own a few judges as
any other organizations or corpora
tions, then the attempt to elect a
judge in the farmers’ interest grows
out of a well-founded opinion that
the judiciary has become altogether
partisan, and if a judge is not for the
farmers he is sure to be against them.
Now, whence comes this sentiment,
which exists in other States as well
as in Illinois, and is a little more an- ;
cient than the organization of the j
Granges? Does it proceed from the
fact that the elective system has giv- j
i'ii us such judges as Barnard, Me-j
Cunn and Cardoza, as the Nation i
seems to think? Does it proceed;
from the fact that the appointive sys-;
tem has given us such specimens as
Durell,Sherman, Busteedand Bond?
Does it not rather proceed from the
fact that for the last thirty years, and
indeed ever since the anti-slavery ag
itation began to culminate, there has
been such a continuous cry forjudges
who would ignore the statute and ad
minister instead the “higher law” of
the popular will, that we have ended
by having a school of judges on the
bench educated to the opinion that
that senseless cry was the voice of a
sacred oracle? Are not our chickens !
coining home to roost?
The memory of Roger B. Taney j
should lie heavy upon the consciences 1
of those who cannot sleep well of;
nights because of Craig or because of;
Durell. The just judge was long
since without honor in this country j
wherever the statute happened to be
invidious, and the natural conse
quence has long since ensued. To
tlie new order of judges, obloquy is
more painful than the sense of duty,
and neither constitution nor statute
are of any account in collision with
the exigencies of partisan zeal or the
temptations of personal greed. But
these judges are our own creatures,
and we must father their sins. Nei
ther the elective system nor the ap
pointive system is responsible for
their existence, their errors, nor the
had consequences flowing from them,
but just our own bad passions and
party hates and envies.
It is impossible to look back at the
events of the last twenty or thirty
years without discovering how the
deterioration of the judiciary has
been brought about. The premium
offered for corrupt judges has been
too great. We hounded down every
righteous judge who dared interpret
the law in the face of our prejudices
or in contravention of our impulses.
We applauded and flattered eyery
sycophant who ignored the principles
of his profession in order to court our
favor. When we had the chance we
banished and expelled the righteous
judges, and encouraged and advanced
sycophancy. It became a good thing
to be a sycophant on the bench, and
righteousness was placed at a terrible
discount. We “watered” thejudicia
ry, in fact, to break a “corner”
against us, and we watered it so heav
ily that the stock has been worthless
ever since.
We began by persecuting the judges
who were steadfast to the law. We
insisted that a man should not cease
to be a partisan, or else should cease
to boa j udge. We demanded to have
rogues in order that they might steal
tor us what we could not acquire a
bon ni'jrche. The judge who would
betray tlie statute to suit his constit
uents, must be expected to betray bis
constituents to suit himself.
We persecuted Taney and found
grace and comeliness in the military
commissions “organized to convict,”
and in the admiralty and cotton-prize
judges instructed to confiscate. We—
a majority of us in the West, at least—
thought it entirely proper for the
President to “water” the Supreme
Court with the weak, wishy-washy
and wicked Bradley and Strong de
coction, in order to reverse the decis
ion of that tribunal upon the green
back question; we thought Under
wood’s justice in Virginia quite a
neat contrivance: we did not repudi
ate entirely Bond’s dragonade in the
Carolinas, nor Busteed’s rag-and-bot
tle shop of equity in Alabama; nay
more, some ot us were willing to lin’d
j excuses for Durell’s midnight usur
pation in Louisiana. By what right,
! then, do such assume to condemn the
! farmers in Illinois as seeking to have
on their bench what the politicians
at Washington and the railroad men
in New York and Chicago and Indi
anapolis have upon their benches—
subservient tools in the stead of im
partial judges? If a party may have
it bench, if a faction may have its
judge, why may not Tweed and Fisk
have their judges, too—if they can
get them? The Chicago Tribune and
tiie Nation are seeking in the hay
stack for the needle that is sticking
to their own sleeves. The judiciary
is not corrupted and fallen because it
is made elective, but because if has
been forced to become partisan. A
judge who will barter his convictions
and opinion for the votes of 10,000
will burter it finally for the service or
the money of one. The partisanship
of the judiciary is a tiling created
and a thing compelled by the Repub
lican party, which, from its incep
tion, was hampered by precedent and
statute, and found it necessary in or
der to make progress in the direction
of its sentimental and sanguinary
impulses to provide fitting tools to
cut the Gordian knot of the constitu
tion and the laws it could not unite.
CARTERSVILLE.
We spent a few days, not long
since, in this truly flourishing, grow
ing and enterprising town. Carters
viile is the capital of Bartow county,
situated on the State Railroad, about
fifty miles above Atlanta.
The growth of the village of a few
years ago has been rapid as is attes
ted by the well-developed and rapid
ly growing town of 3,500 inhabitants
to-day.
We consider Cartersville a model
place, a place that many more pre
tentious corporations would do well
to pattern after. Her people are en
ergetic, live and full of go-ahead-a
tiveness and common sense, in fact
the very population to develop a
country or build a city.
For instance, the town is rapidly
improving, its limits are swelling, its
business houses are tiie most commo
dious and elegant pattern, its resi
dences are marvels of beauty and
taste. In most places, with such
prospects, the landlords would “kill
the goose that laid the golden egg,”
by exhorbitant rent. But not so in
Cartersville. Rents arc reasonable,
the best store houses renting from sls
to $25 per month—residences in pro
portion. The Cartersvillians are
wise enough not to attempt to grasp
all at once, they are satisfied with a
reasonable interest on the invest
ment of their means.
Thirty-five hundred people do not
alone signify Cartersville. Far from
it. She is the Queen of the Etowah
Valley, one of the richest and most
fertile regions in varied resources in
the South. r The Etowah Valley!
No wonder the Red Men of the forest
fought so desperately ere they reced
ed from their patrimony before the
inevitable march of Civilization.
To appreciate this garden spot of
Georgia, reader, of the piney woods,
salamander till is, and frog ponds of
Southwestern Georgia, you should
see it. See it as it now stands dress
ed in all its natural richness. See its
fields of dark green corn, which easi
ly yeild 50 bushels to the acre, the
wheat now being harvested at the
rate of 30 bushels to the square acre,
see the oceans of clover, mingling its
sweet perfume with the bracing
mountain air, tho oats the hay, and
lastly king cotton, the pride* of the
South, and the staple product ofthese
lower sections which averages about
one bale to every four acres under
cultivation, there a bale is made to
every acre planted.
If there were no other resources
than those enumerated, it would be a
great country. But the half is not
told. Iron, the best and most useful
of minerals, without which distance
would be interminable—this pro
duct ever in demand is lying in
quantities beyond human computa
tion right around Cartersville.* No
less than five furnaces are at work
putting the ore in marketable form.
One furnace alone turns out thirty ton
of pig iron per day, which is worth the
round sum of S4B per ton at the fur
nace. So much for manufactured
iron. But we proceed—the demand
does not rest, thousands of tons of
the ore, just as taken from thegroud,
is shipped to Chattanooga and other
places. Now what does this enor
mous trade suggest? The employ
ment of hundreds of men and tne
distribution of thosands of money.
Near the town are also immense
lime quarries where pure alabaster
lime is manufactured and shipped at
fine prices. Marble, granite, mica
and needle ore, are among other sour
ces of wealth that are being develop
ed. And at Rockmart, down the
valley, on the Cherokee Road, there
I are immense quarries of slate—
enough to supply the world. That
too is being utilized and car loads are
shipped daily.
We have thus briefly summed up
the varied resources of this portion of
our State, and in doing so we have
shown upon what the growing town
of Cartersville has to depend. Com
ment is unnecessary.
The people of Cartersville are in
i telligent and courteous. The socie
|ty is par excellence. Good schools
j and wealthy religious denominations
' are also to he found.
; The Standard & Express, is an
able newspaper, which of- itself is a
fair indication of the people it repre
sents. We had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. Smith, the senior editor, and
i found him to be an intelligent and
| affable gentleman.
To Col. Abb Johnson, Vice Presi
-1 dent of the Cherokee Railroad, we
j are indebted for courtesies, and a
I pass over his road to Rockmart.
SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1873.
The Colonel is one of the leading citi- j
zen.s in that section and is very popu- i
lar, and from all we could learn, de-;
servedly so. The railroad is narrow
gauge from Taylorsville to Rock
mart, but we learn it is to be widen
ed at an early day. We formed ma
ny pleasant acquaintances in Carters
ville, among whom we may mention
Messrs. Lovelace, Wilkes, Gilreath,
George, and the gentlemanly agent
of the Western and Union Telegraph
Company. We shall bear them in
kind remembrance.
In conclusion let us say that as a
summer resort, Cartersville possesses
many attractions. Board cheap,
water excellent, best society, and
good health.
HOW TO CURE COLD FEET.
I labitual coldness of the feet means
congestion of the brain and other in
ternal organs thus unbalancing the
whole circulation, and injuring every
organ in the body. To prevent cold
feet, have vour shoes or boots of firm
thick leather, water proof, and be
sure they are tight. Avery tight fit
ting boot or shoe radiates the heat as
fast as the boot can provide it. if
the boot or shoe is large enough to
admit of a good supply of air around
the foot, the temperature will be
much more easily maintained.
Tight stockings and tight garters are
also among the common causes of
cold feet. But when the feet are cold
at bed-time, in spite of exercise, arti
ficial heat should be resorted to. No
one should retire to bed with cold feet
without provision to warm them.
A hot brick wrapped in several folds
of cloth, will keep warm all night, as
well as bottles of hot water or bags
of sand. These are better than hea
ted flannels because they are more re
tentive of heat. But if you are oblig
ed to go to bed with cold feet do not
draw them up to the body extend
yourself at full length, and exercise
the lower extremities by rubbing the
feet together and passing them alter
nately against the foot-board as
though you were walking. In due
time they will become warm, if you
have blood enough to do it. To cure
habitual cold feet hold them for five
minutes in water as worm as can be
borne without discomfort, then dip
them in moderately cool water for
half a minute and wipe dry. It is
useful also, to follow the bath with a
brisk walk or active friction. This
should be repeated each evening at
bed-time.

A FATHER’S ADVICE TO A
BRIDE.
Said a young husband, whose bus
iness speculations were unsuccessful:
“My wife’s silver tea set, the bridal
gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to
financial ruin. It involved a hun
dred unexpected expenses, which in
trying to meet, have made me the
bankrupt that I am.” Ilis is the
experience af many others, who, less
wise, do not know what is the goblin
of the house, working Its destruction.
A sagacious father of great wealth,
exceedingly mortified his daughter
by ordering it to be printed on her
wedding cards. “No presents, ex
cept those adapted to an income of
$1,000.” Said he, “you must not ex
cept to begin life in the style I am
able by many years of labor to in
dulge ; and 1 know of nothing which
will tempt you to try more than the
well-intentioned but pernicious gifts
of rich friends.” Sucli advice is
timely. If other parents would fol
low the same plan, many young men
would be spared years of incessant
toil and anxiety; they would not
find themselves on the downward
road because their wives had worn
all of their salary or expended it on
the appointments of the house. The
fate of the poor man who found a
linchpin and felt obliged to make a
carriage to lit it, is the fate of the
husband who finds his bride in po
sessson of gold and silver valuables
and no large income to support the
owner’s gold and silver style.
BOY UNDER A SPELL.
There is a boy, says the San Fran
cisco Figaro, in one of our schools
who wears a green velvet suit, which
is broken out with bell buttons.
There is a great change in the boy
since he commenced to go to school
several months ago. He was then
but a trifle better than an untutored
savage, although we frankly confess
that we didn’t know what an untu
tored savage is. His first experience
in school was a spelling lesson.
While the class was going through
the exercise, he sat on the platform,
near the teacher and locked his
hands across his knees, and watched
the class very intently. The first
word was Ransom. “By gracious,”
said he drawing his teeth very hard.
'The teacher gave him a reproving
look, and vventon —Multiply, “thun
der and lightning, what a word,” he
cried in a storm of delight. Again
the teacher nailed him with a look,
and proceeded—Osculation. At this
he just raised himself up to his feet,
and shrieked in a perfect frenzy of
ecstacv, “By Godeys, gentlemen, just
shove* your teeth into that.” This
broke up the lesson.
DIGGING OUT A WOODCHUCK.’
A minister going to dine after ser
vice with one of his deacons, came
upon the hired boy of his host dig
ging at a woodchuck’s hole. The
parson who was unknown to the boy
checked his rein ahd accosted him
with:
“Well, my son, what are you doing
there ?”
“Digging out a woodchuck, sir,”
said the boy.
“Why, but don’t you know that is
very wicked ? and besides you won’t
get him if you dig for him on Sun
day.”
“Git ’im,” said the boy; “thunder!
I’ve got to git ’im? The minister’s
coming to our house to dinner, and
we ain’t got any meat.”
TIIE WILL OF A DRUNKARD.
I die a wretched sinner; and I
leave to the world a worthless repu
tation a wicked example, and a
memory that is only fit to perish.
I leave to my wife a widowed and
broken heart, and a life of lonely
j struggle with want and poverty.
I leave to my children a tainted
name a ruined position, a pitiful ig
norance, and the mortfyiing recollec
! tion of a father who, by his life dis
j graced humanity, at his premature
death joined the great company of
! those who are never to enter the
I kingdom of God.
A HAPPY EDITOR.
Col. Sam. Smith, the local of the
Cartersville Repress, who by the way
is a heavy-set, sleek-iooking preach
er of tiie Methodist persuasion, is
now happy—immeasurably happy ;
and it is all about “frying chickens.”
They have made their appearance in
his bailiwick, and with rapturous,
joyous anticipation at the countless
chicken feasts in store for him when
he again starts out on his ministeri
al round he, thus, in the 'fullness of
his soul, exclaims: “The early crop
of frying chickens is now in, and the
prospect for good living is encour
aging. A man with a good appetite
and plenty of chicken ought to be
drummed out of the country if he
does not keep in a good humor.”
I lappy editor! —happy Sam. Smith !
if he does not do full justice to the
subject, tht'n all we have to say is,
Methodist preachers have been most
eggregiously slandered. —D illon Cit

Wjj Can’t Lie Out of It.”—The
Milwaukee (Wisconsin) News of
June 15th says:
“1 won’t do,” was the cheerful de
claration of a loud-talking, active
Republican at Elkimrn, to the ven
erable Senator Samuel Pratt, who
had come up there the other day to
attend the old settlers’ festival. “It
won’t do, I tell you. Uncle Sam,”
said the speaker, to try to lie out of
Grant’s being drunk at Geneva. We
all saw him drunk. Half the country
saw him drunk. If it had been a
small crowd of only 200 or 300 peo
ple, we could have brassed it out
and lied it down, Uncle Sam. But
there were thousands there who saw
him drunk—so drunk that heoouln’t
walk straight—so drunk that he had
to be helped into the cars. There
wore to many of ’em saw it, Uncle
Sam ;we can’t lie out of it.” Such
talk in a crowd is not calculated to
help the President along in the good
opinion of the Wal w orth county peo
ple who heard it.

REMEDY FOR CHOLERA.
We publish the following remedy
for cholera and other bowel affections,
with tho hope that it may be the
menus of doing good. We advise our
readers to preserve the recipe, and
keep the remedy on hand and have
it ready for any emergency:
THE SUN CHOLERA MIXTURE.
More than forty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for the
Asiatic cholera was easier than cure,
the learned doctors of both hemis
pheres drew up a prescription, which
was published (for working people)
in the New York Sun, and took the
name of “The Sun Cholera Mixture.”
Our contemporary never lent its
name to a better article. We have
seen it in constant use for nearly two
score years, and found it to be the
best remedy for looseness of the bow
els ever yet devised. It is to be com
mended for several reasons, It is not
to be mixed with liquor and there
fore will not be list'd as an alcoholic
beverage. Its ingredients are well
known among aii the common peo
ple, and it will have no prejudice to
cohifiat; each of the materials is iu
equal proportion to the others, and it
may, therefore, be compounded with
out professional skill; and as the dose
is so very small, it may be carried in
a tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket,
and be always at hand. It is:
Tinct. opii,
Capsici,
Rhei co.,
Ment-h pip.,
Camphor.
Mix the above in equal parts: dose,
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms,
take equal parts tincture of opium,
red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint,
and camphor, and mix them for use.
In ease of diarrhoea take a dose of ten
to twenty drops in three or four tea
spoonfuls of water. No one who has
this by him and takes it in time will
ever have the cholera. We commend
it to our Western friends, and hope
that the receipt will be widely pub
lished. Even when no cholera is an
ticipated it is an excellent remedy
for ordinary summer complaint.—

HOW OFTEN '"SHOULD COWS '
BE MILKED.
Regularity in the milking of cows
is of as much importance as regulari
ty in feeding them. In a state of na
ture, the cow is relieved of its milk a
great many times each day. A calf
allowed to remain with its mother
will help itself seven or eight times
each day. Under such circumstances
the udder of —•» ‘y““-
smaii, unu it allowed to retain the
milk secreted during twelve hours, i
feverish symptoms are likely to be 1
produced. The practice of milking j
cows more than twice in twenty-four j
hours causes the capacity of the ud- j
der to be greatly increased, and prob
ably helps in mantaining the lacteal
secretion long after pregnancy has
taken place. When, however, by an
artificial system, the cow has been
enabled to retain her milk without
inconvenience for twelve hours or so,
she ought to be milked regularly ev
ery day at the same hour. When
the time for milking arrives, the ud
der usually becomes distended to its
utmost capacity, and if not speedily
removed, the animal suffers consider
able pain. Cases of fever, the result
of allowing animals to remain too
long tin milked, are, indeed, by no
means of unfrequent occurrence. It
is especially necessary to attend to
this point for some days after the an
imal has brought forth its young, for
during that period very little irrita
tion of the lacteal organs is likely to
bring on that most fatal of maladies,
fever. If milking be too long delay
ed, nature will try to help the poor
animal. An absorption of milk into
the blood will to some extent take
place, and that which remains in the
udder will become deteriorated. —
When neglect to milk a cow at the
regular time is repeated several times,
the secretion of the fluid is perma
nently checked; and there are many
cases where, by such neglect, an ani
mal has become dry in less than a
month.— lrish Farmer's Gazette.
OAFS AS A MANURE.
A Kentucky farmer writes: I have
seen frequent inquiries how to re
claim old and worn lands. A quick
and cheap plan is to sow the land in
oats as early as you can in the spring;
as soon as ripe plow under; keep off
all stock and you will have a tre-!
mendous full growth of oats. Plow
them under in October, or, if South,
the first of November; then sow rye,,
graze in the spring and feed down;
when ripe plow under, and you will
see one of the finest rye fields you
ever saw; or, if you wish, sow clover
on the rye the first spring; it is very
effectual and cheap. I saw the above |
tried in Tennessee when I was a boy;
the land was so poor that the oats ,
did not exceed knee-high ; they were
plowed under when ripe, and again,
in November. The land was planted
in corn the next year and made a
large yield ; it was before the days of
clover. I have tried it repeatedly
since with good success.
REMEDY FOR HEADACHE.
Pains in the head arise from such a
variety of causes that uo one remedy
will answer in every case. But the
following is said to be an excellent
preparation, and from the simple na
ture of the ingredients we think it is
worth trying;
Put a handful of salt into a quart
of water, add one ounce of spirits of
hartshorn, and half an ounce of spir
its of camphor. Put them quickly
into a bottle, and cork tightly to pre
vent the escape of the spirits. Soak
apiece of cloth with the mixture,
and apply it to the head. Wet the
cloth afresh as soon its it gets heated.
NAIL,IN"*THE FOOT.
To relieve from the terrible effects
of running a nail in the foot of man
or horse, take peach leaves, bruise
them, apply to the wound, confine
with bandage, and the cure is as if
by magic. Renew the application
twice a day, if necessary ; but one
application usually does tiie work.
It has been known to cure both man
and beast in a few hours, when they
were apparently on the point of hav
ing the lock-jaw. This recipe, re
membered, will save many valuable
lives.
