THE TOWER OF KAQDALA
The following Is an extract from Dongfel.
low’s new poem,” “The Divine Tragedy.*»
It is Mary Magdalene who is speaking:
Oompanionless, unsatisfied, forlorn,
1 ell nere in this lovely tower, and look
Upon the lake below me, ana the hills
Tnat swoon with heat, and see as in a vision
All my past life unroll itseli before me.
The princes and the merchants come to me,
Merchants ol Tyre and princes oi Damascus.
And pass, and oisappear, and are no more;
But leave behind their merchandise and jew
els,
Their perfumes, and their gold, and their <2is
gust.
1 loathe them, and the very memory of them
is unto me as thought of lood to one
Uloved with the luscious tigs of Dalmanutha!
What if hereafter, in the long hereafter
Os endless joy or pain, or joy in pain,
It were my punisnmeat to be witn them
drown hideous and decrepit in their sins.
And hear them say: thou hast brought us nere,
lie unto us as thou hast been ol old
I look upon these garments that 1 wear,
These silks, and these embroideries, and they
seem
Only as cerements wrapped about my limbe!
1 look upon these rings mick set witn peais,
And emerald and amethyst and jasper
And they are burning coals upon my flesh!
This serpent on my wrist becomes alive!
Away, tuou viper, and away, ye garlands,
Whose odors bring sweet rememorance back
Os the unhallowed revels In these chambers!
if at yesterday,— and yet It seems to me
Something remote, like a pathetic song
»ung long ago by minstrels in the street—
But yesterday, as from this tower 1 gazed
over the olive and the walnut trees,
Upon the lake and the white shipo, and won
dered
Whither and whence they steerel,aud who
was in them,
A fisher’s boat drew near the landing place
Under the oleanders, and tne people
O&rne up from it, and passed beneath the
tower,
Close under me. In front of them, as leader,
Walked one oi noble aspect, clothed in wnite,
Who lilted up his eyes and looked at mo,
And ail at once the air seemed lull and living
With a mysterious power, that streamed irorn
him,
And overilowed mo with an aomosphere
Os light and love. As one entranced I stood,
And when i woke again, lo! he was gone;
bo that 1 said: Perhaps it is a dream,
iiut at that very hour the seven demons
That had their habitation in this body
Which men called beautiful, departed from
me!
This morning, when tkefirst gleam of the dawn
Made Lebanon a glory in the air,
And ail below was darkness I beneld
An angel, or a spirit glorified,
With wind tossed garments walking on the
lake.
The lace I could not see; but I distinguished
The attitude and gesture, and 1 knew
’Twas he that healed me. And the gusty wind
Brought to my ears a voloe, which seemed to
say:
Be of good cheer! ’Tis I ! be not afraid!
And from the darkness, scarcely heard, the
answer:
If It be thou, bid me come unto thee
Upon the water! And the voice said: Come!
And then i heard a cry of fear: Lo.d, save me!
Ae of a drowning man. And then tne voice:
Why didst thou doubt, O thou of little laith f
At this all vauishod, and the storm was hush
ed,
And the great sun came up above the hills,
And the swift flying vapors hid themselves
In caverns among the rocks! O i must find him
Ami follow him, and oe with him forever!
Thou box of alabaster, in whose walls
The souls oi (lowers he sont the precious balm
And spikenard herbs, eternal natures
Nursed by the sun and dew, not all unworthy
To bathe his consecrated leet, whose step
Makes every threshold holy that he crosses;
Bet us go forth upon our pilgrimage,
Thou and I only! Bet us search lor him
Until we finu him, and pour out our souls
Before his feet, till all tout’s left ol us
Shall be the broken caskets, that once held us

Mr. Simmons said the bill was the re
suit ot tbe most careful labors, and tbe
advice of the first financial ability of the

tection imperatively demanded in tbe

the debt, a suspension of payment of

the Constitution, contending that that

tion of the Executive, and further, that

“ Mr. Hinton moved to reconsider the

portion members of the House of Repre
scniativts.
Messrs. Russell and Goodman also

Mr. Russell moved to lay the motion
to Teconsider on the table.
Mr. Haidt favored the motion to re
consider, and argued that it would throw
protection around innocent women.
Mr. Wofford, of Bartow, made a
good speech in favor of the motion to
reconsider.
Messrs. Russell and Hudson argued
that ihe bill would be impracticable—
would not bentfit the class it was inten
ded for, and would amount to prosecu
tion for the sake of making money by a
low order of people.
On the motion to reconsider, the yeas
and nayes were called: V eas 6t; nays
63.
Messrs. Snead, Jackson and Bacon,
a special committee to whom was re
ferred a charge that H. L. Hillyer, Rep
resentative from Camden, had drawn
mileage for 1000 miles, reported that af
ter a careful investigation tbe commit
tee find that said H. L. Hillyer has
drawn SBO in excess of his legitimate
mileage. The committee recommen
ded that said member be required to
refund the money, and that he be
brought before the bar of this House
and reprimanded, and that ine the
event of his refusal to comply that he
be expelled.
Mr. Hillyer said that he had never
traveled the route before, and did not
know the distances, that he examined
the Comptroller General’s report and
found that the member from the county
of Camden had drawn mileage for one
thousand miles last year, and that he
did hot know until afterwards that his
predecessor came by way of Savannah.
He stated that the error was uninten
tional, and that he was ready to refund
the money.
Messrs. Snead and Jackson said that
the case was one without politics in it,
that Mr. Hillyer is a law maker and
could not properly plead ignorance,
that if the member who had overdrawn
were a member of the Democratic party
that nothing short of instant expulsion
would have been the report.
The report was adopted.
Mr. Hillyer came before the bar, re
funded the money to the Chairman of
the Auditing Committee and was repri
manded by Speaker Smiih.
On motion of Mr. Peirce, Mr. Hillyer
was allowed to speak further of the
case.
Mr. Hillyer said that he had not de
nied that there was a mistake, but tbe
charge that it was intentional was un
founded.
Mr. Hudson offered a resolution re
questiDg the Auditing Committee to
carefully examine all accounts before
approving them. Adopted.
Mr. Craig, chairman of the Commit
tee on Auditing, reported that T. G.
Campbell, Jr., of Mclntosh county, had
drawn too much mileage.
On moth nos Mr. Johnson, ot Spald
ing, a committee was appointed to in
vestigate the charge.
A bill to incorporate the People’s
Savings Bank of Newnan. Passed.
The Senate amendment to the bill to
change the line between Coffee and
Ware counties, passed.
The Senate resolution declaring it
the sense of this General Assembly that
the teachers of free schools during the
year 1871 shall be paid as soon i.s the
poll tax due for 1868, 1869, 1870, and
1871 shall have been collected, was
amended and concurred in.
The House then adjourned until 10
a. tn. to-morrow.
When my report was sent off at
o'clock last night, both houses were in
session, and up to that time had
not been recognized by Conley
during tho day. He sent in three
messages to tho House after 10 o’clock,
approving various acts - none ot
any great importance. This change ot
! programme in “the Excutive depart
ment” is doubtless due to the adoption
of a resolution by both houses that Mon-
I day was included in the constitutional
term of forty days, the last having fal
len on Sunday. At any rate, this is
Conley’s pretext. A resolution was
passed by both houses declaring that
whenever each branch of the Legisla
ture passed by a two-tbirds vote a reso
lution to prolong the session, it is the
duty of all departments of the govern
ment to recognize the prolongation as
regular and legal. This resolution got
to Conley’s office five minutes before
12 o’clock. Both houses adjourned at
12 o’clock till 10 a. m. this day. No
message of any kind has been received
from “the Executive Department.”
