“When I Make Up My Jewels/’'
Sirred to the Memory of Little M audit Brock,
Died April 27, 1870.
The I’.usb has faded from her cheek,
The prattling tongue has ceased to speak ;
Cooled tho fiver's parching breath
By the icy hand of death.
Her little limbs are pained uo more;
Moaning, tears and suflering o’er.
Approach with awe and silent tread—
Little Maudie now is dead.
Compose her tiny limbs with care,
Close her eyes and smooth her hair.
Bring the cerements of the tomb.
Fitting for its darksome gloom;
Lew tho little body lay
Never more to sec the day;
Lay the turf upon her breast,
Hashed in sn eternal rest.
Mother ! Mother! wist ye not
How happy is your Maudie's lot ?
Though snatched from earth and all its ties.
She lives an angel in the skies,
Site fs it not the burdi n of life,
The heat of tho day and its strife;
She has passed from eaith away,
With an infant’s harmless play:
With the fresh dew of morning there
On her marble brow so fair—
A being of death and life,
In strange, mysterious strife.
Solved is the mystery now.
But she cannot tell you how.
Suffering and sorrow vox her soul no more;
Her mission douo - hor earthly labors o’er.

Gainesville, Ga., April 30, 1870.
Who Sit at God’s Right Hand.
There was buried from St. Rose
church yesterday a young man nam
ed Peter Rapp, a street car driver.
He was the only support of an aged
lather and mother, and the priva
tion and suffering which he endured
that they might have a home, with
such necessaries of life as his scanty
wages would provide, were doubt
less tiio cause of his death. The
family, consisting of tho two old peo
ple and Peter, who was twenty-six
years of age, lived in Washington
street, near Front. The father is
crippled and infirm. The mother
was only able to perform such light
labor as was necessary in the care of
their little household. All the mon
ey that came into their homo was
provided by the son from his small
earnings. He paid their house rent
supplied them with food, clothing,
fuel—everything.
During the past winter, and up to
a short time ago wheii ho was pros
trated by the disease—quick con
sumption—which terminated his life
he was in the employ of the Eighth
street car line in the capacity of a
driver. Those who know him spoak
of him as a hero who died that his
father and mother might live. His
wages were not sufficient to provide
ail with the necessaries of life and he
chose that lie himself should be the
one to suffer most During some of
tho severest weather of the past win
ter he wore neither overcoat nor
underclothing, and thus contracted
the cold that soon resulted in his
death.
It is a rule of the company that a
driver must be ready to go out with
his car at twenty minutes before G
o’clock each morning or receive no
car that day. Although young Rapp
had to walk from his home in Fulton
to Price’s Hill, a distance of four
miles and a half, for sixty consecu
tive mornings during the cold weath
er of last winter, he never missed a
car. It is another rule of the com
pany that, when not on duty, a dri
ver shall not ride on a car without
paying regular fare. This rule and
his poverty necessitated young Rapp
walking home every night after leav
ing his car. This made him a daily
walk of nine miles, and this in addi
tion to the fifteen hours that car dri
vers are required to work each day.
Standing on a car platform for fif
teen hours a day, scantily clothed,
perhaps hungry, walking to and from
his work through the bitter weather
tho suffering of this youug man must
have been intense. Through it all
the comfort of his father and mother
was uppermost in his mind, and for
two months he never spent a single
cent of his wages for himself. Car
drivers receive their pay every even
ing, and every night he carried his
lit tle pittance home and gave it to his
mother, even to the last cent. From
St. Rose church yesterday his re
mains were borne to the grave, fol
lowed by a little band of friends and
neighbors. The lamentations of his
aged mother touched every heart
and surely a mother never wept for
a nobler son. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Jews iu Palestine.
The London Standard calls atten
tion to the way in which the Jews,
scattered throughout the world, “are
beginning to turn their eyes towards
their own laud.’ The shrewdest fi
nanciers of that money-making peo
pie are reported to be buying up
Palestine. The Jewish Chronicle reck
ons that there are some eighteen
thousand Jews iu Jerusalem alone,
and that they annually recoive about
Jjfio,ooo from their brethren abroad.
Whether dependent upon others or
able to support themselves, they can
not be pursuaded to expatriate them
selves from the old mother couutry
of Judea when they are once returned
there. It is probable that Lord Bea
consfiedd’s oriental ambitions and his
known sympathies for the regenera
tion of Syria have given anew im
petus to this movement. The Stand
ard further says:
“The possession of Palestine and a
part of Syria by a people who have
retained an indestructible nationali
ty, while they have learnt a complete
cosmopolitanism during some eigh
teen centuries—a nation at once Eu
ropean and Asiatic —Asiatic in origin
and European in education,would not
be fry any means a bad arrangement.
It might not be impolitic on the part
of European powers to assist in
placing so influential a people in so
important a position, so soon as the
inevitable decay of the Turkish pow
er renders a change of government
necessary. All the difficulties and
jealousies incident to auy project of
joint occupation’ would be avoided;
for the Jew is, at once, of no nation
and of ali. No people could better
solve what, before many years, must
become the ‘Syrian difficulty.
GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 16, 1879.
The Yet© Message Effectually
Answered by Evarts and
Scliurz.
By Carl Schurz in 1874: “United
States Boldiers, with fixed bayonets,
decided the case against them, and
took them out of the legislative hall
by force. * * * I cannot, there
fore, escape from the deliberate
conviction—a conviction conscien
tiously formed—that the deed done
on the 4th of January, in the State
House of Louisiana, by the military
forces of the United States, consti
tutes a gross and manifest violation
of the constitution and laws of this
republic. * * * If this can be
done in Louisiana, and if such things
be sustained by congress, how long
will it be before it can be done in
Massachusetts and in Ohio?
“He who in a place like ours fails
to stop, or even justifies a blow at
the fundamental laws of the land,
makes himself the accomplice of
those who strike at the life of the
republic and at the liberties of the
people.”
By William M. Evarts, present
Prime Minister of the fraudulent
President, in his Cooper Institute
speech: “When men vote, and when
their chosen officers meet, and when
without violence and without demon
stration of insurrection they under
take to conduct the affairs of their
political government, no soldiers can
interfere.
“There are two very distinct firm
lines of limitation, which, observed,
will protect the machinery of the
government for the people to-day—
that is, that the sole intervention of
the federal power within the State
authority shall be to suppress vio
lence, and that their office after that
shall not assume to go further unless
when invited by the supreme au
thority of the State.
“What use is it to give the purse
and the sword to the House of Com
mons if the King or the President
by military power can determine
what shall be the constitution of the
House of Commons or the House of
Congress? And that is what they
fought for in England. * * And
for this reason the people of tho
United States are justified in assum
iug that the supreme civil power
shall dominate over the military,
and that no merging of them or in
terference with them shall be per
mitted. ’’
The Pot of Gold.
A cobbler in someretshire dreamed
that a person told him that if he
would go to London Bridge ho would
meet with something to his advan
tage. He dreamed the same the
next night, and again the night alter.
He then determined to go to London
Bridge, and walked thither accord
ingly. When arrived there, ho
walked about the whole of the first
day without anything occurring; tho
next day was-passed iu a similar
manner. He resumed his place the
third day, and walked about till
eveniug, when, g.ving it up as hope
less, had determined to leave Lon
don and return home. At this mo
ment a stranger came up and said to
him: “I have seen you for the last
three days walking up and down this
bridge; may I ask if you are waiting
for any one?’ The answer was, ‘No!’
‘Then what is your object in staying
here?’ The cobbler then frankly
told his reason for being there and
the dream that had visited him three
successive nights. The stranger then
advised him to go homo again to his
work, and no more pay any attention
to dreams. ‘I myself,’ he said, ‘had
about six months ago a dream. I
dreamed three nights together that,
if I would go into Somersetshire, in
an orchard, under an apple tree, I
should fiud a pot of gold; but I paid
no attention to my dream, and have
remained quietly at my business,’ It
immediately occurred to the cobbler
that the stranger described his own
orchard and apple tree. He imme
diately returned home aud dug un
der tho apple tree and found a pot
of gold. After this increase of for
tune he was enabled to send his son
to school, where the boy learned
Latin. When he came home for the
holidays, he one day examined the
pot which had contained the gold,
on which was some writing. He
said ‘Father, I can show you that
what I have learned at school is of
some use.’ He then translated the
Latin inscription on the pot thus:
‘Look under, and a larger quantity
of gold was found.” As the story is
a good one, it would be pleasant to
fancy it could possibly be true. —

prise. As long as they live they keep
at work doing something to benefit
themselves and others. It is just so
with a man who is benevolent —the
more he gives the more he feels like
giving. We go for activity—in body
iu mind, in everything. Let the
gold grow not dim, nor the thoughts
become stale. Keep all things iu
motion. We would rather that
death should find us scaling a
mountain than sinking in a mire—

The Flirt at the Theatre.
She sat iu the front row of the par
qu'jtte circle the other night, and
when she wasn’t flirting with the gen
tlemen whose faces she could see, she
was discussing the people on the
stage. She was a beautiful blonde
with dark brown eyes, and her face
attracted much attention. A fair,
white dun; rosy, dimpled cheeks,
lips like the cherries that grew next
•thfc sun, in the top of tho tree; pearly
teeth, the regular rows of which
showed themselves whenever she
chose to let her musical laugh be
hoard (which was often;) and a pretty
shaped head, crowned with a wealth
of golden hair and the cunningest of
hats. She talked aloud, and even
made up face3 at the gentlemen who
stared at her. Ordinarily such a
character, even though a female
beauty, would have been unpleasant
•ui the theatre, but somehow every
body seemed pleased with the lady.
She seemed to be about four years
old. The only portion of tile play
she seemed to understand and appre
ciate was a love-making scene.
When the laughter that followed
the exit of the lovers in the play had
subsided, the little one turned to a
young lady and said in a perfectly
audible voice:
“Della, ’at’s dess’e way cousin
Deorge tissed oo’o uver day.”
The star was much disconcerted to
hear a roar of laughter from a por
tion of the audience just as she made
hor tragic entrance on the next scene;
but her tribulation was insignificant
by comparison with that of a certain
couple, who will henceforth leave the
little flirt at home when they go to
the play.

Little Attention.
How much we might make of our
family life, of our friendship, if every
secret thought of love b’oss >med in
to a deed ! We are not now merely
speaking of personal caresses. Tin se
may not be the best iangu.-ge of af
fection. Many are endowed with a
delicacy, a fastidiousness of physical
organization, which shrinks always
from too much of these, repelled and
overpowered. But there are words
and looks, and little observances,
thoughtfulness, watchful little atten
tions which speak of love, which
make it genuinely manifest; and there
is scarcely a family that might not
be richer in heart wealth for more of
them. It is a mistake to suppose
that relations must, of course, love
each other because they are relations
Love must be cultivated, and can be
increased by judicious culture, as
wild fruits may double their bearing
under the hands of a gardener; and
love can dwindle aud die out by neg
lect as choice flower seeds planted in
poor soil dwindle and grow single.

Sherman's Strengtli.
New York Sun.
By running John Sherman, instead
of Grant, the republicans would get rid
of the dangerous drawback which exists
in the popular feeling against a third
term. This is an unknown quantity;
there is uo way to ascertain its exact
force in advance; and in a close elec
tion, such as we are likely to have, it
may prove decisive of the result. Pru
dence dictates that such a danger should
bo shunned. It is natural, therefore,
for this reason, that Sherman’s strength
as compared with Grant’s should steadi
ly increase up to the time of the nomi
nation.

If all the rampant howling and senti

there would be enough to give a ten

the South and refund the millions
stolen by the Freedman’s savings bank
ring. But gush and gold are very dif
ferent commodities. While the first is
abundant among the negro-phibists and
South-haters of the North, the latter,
judging by the amount contributed for
the relief of the Kansas sufferers, is
rather scarce.

empty kerosene oil can, a gun barrel,
and a copper tea kettle, of which there
are hundreds brought there by the Rus
sians. From a mash of rye flour and
molasses iu the oil cau they imitate the
iirocess of our moonshiners, as no liquor
is allowed to be bonded, and dietill two
bottles of the vilest kind of whisky.
Their demoniacal orgies aud fiendish
actions when drunk, defy recital.

The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes “a
long and frank conversation” with a
Tilden agent who has reached Cincin
nati in his Western canvass. He de
clares that Tilden is not only not going
to relinquish his claims on the demo
cratic party, but that he will be stronger
in the next convention than he was at
St. Louis. In 1876 ten States went
into the convention with solid delega
tions against him, whereas in 1880 every
State will have Tilden delegates. The
South may not be quite so solid for him
as it was before, but tlie difference will
be made up by recruits from the North
ern States.

A grand international assassins’ re
volver association should be formed
with monthly or semi-annual meetings.
National “teams” from Russia, Ger
many, France, Italy and America would
be allowed to enter. Accurate figures
of these royal folk, together with effi
gies of our popular American actors,
should be used as targets, so that firing
at either a stage or a genuine monarch
would become such an everyday affaii
as to deprive the assassin of all tremor
and nervousness. Prizes should be
given for the maximum number of shots
out of a possible thousand in the cra
nial as well as the intercostal regions,
so that those mouarchs or actors who
are supposed to have no heart would
not escape in consequence of that de
fect. Iu addition to these royal and
dramatic targets a figure of a clergyman
or priest might be added; for, iu" Eu
rope at least, the sporting gentleman
for whom the association is to be
formed occasionally go a gunning for
the clergy.

Some of the State papers are finding
a good ileal of fault because Hon. W.
O. Tuggle received SIO,OOO as a fee for
collecting from the general government
the .$72,000 due to the State. Wo are
inclined to view such criticism as rather
captious. To collect the sum required
a great deal of time, expense and un
remitting exertion, and it was necessary
that some agent of Georgia should go
to Washington and devote himself as
siduously to the recovery of the money
and nothing else. It is stated that Mr.
Tuggle agreed to do this on considera
tion that if he were successful he was
to receive fifteen per cent, of the
amount, if not successful he was to re
ceive nothing. This can hardly be
considered an extravagant agreement,
under the circumstances, and Mr. Tug
gle not only should have his fee, but he
deserves credit for securing the settle
ment of a claim of many years standing,
and which, but for his industrions re
search and indefatigable efforts, would
never have been discovered or presented
to the United States government for
payment.
