THE CUCKOO.
Forth I wandered, yean ago,
When the summer sun was low,
Ana the forest all aglow
With his light:
’Twas a day of cloudless skies;
When the trout declines to rise,
And In vain the angler sighs
For a.blte.
And the cuckoo piped away—
How I lore bis simple lay.
O’er the oowslip-flelds of May
As It floats I
May was over, and of course
He was just a little hoarse,
And appeared to me to foree
Certain notes.
Since mid-April, men averred,
■Peoples pulses, Inly stirred
By the music of the bird,
Had unleapt;
It was now the close of J une:
It refieoted that he’d soon
Sing entirely cut of tune,
And I wept.
Looking up, I marked a maid
Float balloon-like o’er the glade,
Casting evermore a staid
Glance around:
And I thrilled with sweet surplrse
When she dropt, all virgin wise,
First a courtesy, then her eyes
To the ground.
Others’ eyes have p’raps to you
Seemed ethereally blue,
But you see you never knew
Kate Adair.
What a mein she had .' Her hat
With what dignity It sat
On the mystery, or mat,
Os her hair
We were neighbors. I bad doß’d
Cap and hat to her so oft
That the latter had grown soft
In the brim:
I had gone out of my way
To bid e’en her sire good day,
Though I wasn’t I may say,
Fond of him :
And wo’d met, in streets and shops,
But by rill or mazy copse,
Where your speech abruptly 3tops
And you get
Incoherent ere you know it—
Where, though nothing of a poet.
You Intuitively go it—
Never yet.
So my love had ne’er been told !
TUI the day when forth I strolled
And the jolly cuckoo trolled
Out his song,
Naught had passed betwixt us two
Save a bashful ‘how d’ye do’
And a blushing ‘How do you
Get along ?’
.But that eve—how swift It passed ! a
Words that burned flew from me fast
For the first time and the last
In my life :
I.ow and lower drooped her chin
As I murmured how I'd skin
Or behead myself to win
Such a wife.
There we stood. The squirrel leaped
Overhead : the throstle peeped
Through the leaves, all sunshine-steeped,
Os the lime.
There we stood alone: a third
Would have made the thing absurd :
And she scarcely spoke a word
All the time.
•*•**♦*»**
We’ve a little Kate, a dear!
She’s attained her thirteenth year,
And declares she feel a queer
Sort of shock—
Not unpleasant though at all—
When she hears a cuckoo call:
So I’ve purchased her a small
Cuckoo-clock.

Atlanta, February 18, 1878.
A SINGULAR CONTEST.
As we stated in one of the letters of
yonr correspondent several days ago, the
Senate have had under consideration, for
several days, the question of superseding
Judge Harvey of the Rome Circuit by a
new appointment. After a long consid
eration, the Senate have sustained the
Governor in his opinion that Bullock had
transcended the limit of the law in appoint
ing Harvey for eight instead of four years,
and yesterday appointed Judge J. W. H.
Underwood, Judge of the Rome Circuit.
It is understood that Harvey will contest
the appointment, and will take immedi
ate steps to bring the question before the
Supreme Court. It is, however, deemed
by able lawyers that neither the Superior
nor the Supreme Court has jurisdiction
of the question.
The facts of the case seem to be that
some years ago this circuit was created,
aud there was some misunderstanding iu
regard to the classification of the circuit,
whether it should be included iu the num
ber of those circuits, the terms of whose
judges expired within eight years or four
years from that time.
IN THE SENATE.
The Senate acted on the following
House bills:
To authorize the payment of insolvent
costs in Upson county. Passed.

with a list of tax-payers. Passed.

THF. GOVERNOR WON’T CALL THEM TOGETHER
AGAIN — WHEN THEY GO, THEY GO FOR
GOOD.
A Herald reporter called upon Governor
Smith yesterday to get his views on the
extra session sensation. And this is the
tvay of it:
Reporter —It is rumored, Governor,
that in case the Legislature adjourns
without adjusting the financial question
and winding up their duties properly that
you will call them together again at once.
Gov. Smith—l shall do no such thing,
sir. The Legislature knows its duty. If
it adjourns without performing it, its
their own lookout. I shall not convene
them in extra session: and as far as I am
concerned, they will not come back till
the Constitution calls them.
Reporter —You have changed your mind
on this, haven’t you?
Gov. Smith —I don’t know. I have told
the Legislature of its duty in the matter;
it is the revenue creating power; a reve
nue is needed immediately; it knows it;
if it doesn’t provide it, it can adjourn and
stay adjourned; only it must shoulder its
own responsibility; that’s all.— Atlanta

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
jgmf jy For the relief and
cure of all derange
meats in the storn
ach, liver, and bow
els. They are a mild
Stiifflik. excellent purgative.
Being purely vege
s table, they contain
no mercury or mine-
SMy ral whatever. Much
serious sickness and
suffering is prevent
ed by their timely
use; and every .pre'ijr should have them on hand
for their and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the saf
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, tho corruptions of the sys
tem expelled, obstructions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer's Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjov
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family Physic,
and for tho following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure :
For Dyipeptia or Indigestion,
■«»«, languor and lioaa of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Bilious Headache, dick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness. Bil
ious Colic and Bilious level's, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Biarrhoea, one
mild dose is generally required.
For Bheumatis'm, Gout, Gravel, f*.il-
St ration of the Heart, Pain in the
ide, Back and loins, they should be contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Bropsy and Bropsical dwellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce tho effect of a drastic purge.
For duppresslon, a large dose should b«
taken, as it produces the desired effect by syui
pathy. „ ..
Asa Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach Hnd
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence It is often advantageous where
no serious derangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c. (
and Indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
No one remedy is louder
-j - called for by the necessities of
* the American people than a
sure and safe cure for Fever
■ J and Ague. Such we are now
mMKLm enabled to offer, with a perfect
M certainty that it will eradicate
“ the disease, and with assur
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise
from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the com
munities where it prevails. Prevention is bettet
than cure, for the patient escapes ttie risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this boleftil dis
temper. This “Cure” expels the miasmatic
poison of Fever and Ague from the system,
and prevents the development of the disease, il
taken on the first upproach of its premonitory
symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever
yet discovered for this class of complaints, but
also the cheapest. The large quantity we sup
ply for a dollar brings it within the reach of
everybody; and in bilious districts, where
Fever and Ague prevails, everybody should
have it, and use it freely, both for cure and pro
tection. It is hoped this price will place it within
the reach of all —the poor as well as the rich.
A great superiority of this remedy over an
other ever discovered for the speedy and certaiii
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Qui
nine or mineral; consequently it produces no
auinism or other injurious effects whatever upou
re constitution. Those cured by it are left as
healthy as if they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the spleen,
Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis,
and derangement of the Stomach, all of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the in
termittent type, or become periodical. This
“Cure” expels the poison from the blood, ami
consequently cures them all alike. It is an in
valuable protection to immigrants and persons
travelling or temporarily residing in the mala
rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while 'exposed to the infection, that will be ex
creted from the system, and cannot accumulate
in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease.
Hence it is even more valuable for protection
than cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protec
tion this remedy affords.
For Diver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stim
ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro
ducing many truly remarkable euros, where
other medicines fail.
