To Mary—the “ Angel of Iffy Life."
nv ceoikie tie feu.or,
Let those who will at friendship sneer,
And deem its mystic spell
A self deceiving policy.
Which clients the world as well ;
They ne’er have known a Jovo like think,
A love that knows no change—
But beams as constant ns the stnrs
Through life’s extended range.
I have no words to say how dear
Thou, Mary, art to me;
The Treasures of a world Pd scorn,
If offered me fur thee!
For high, o'er earthly fame or wealth,
Or worldly power above,
One thing 1 prize, my own Mary,
’Tis thy devoted lo\e !
For joy, unless thou shnr’rt it too,
Is never joy to me;
E’en sorrow loses half its sting
When comforted by thee !
And be my let a joyous one,
Or fraught with deadly ill
Thine eye meets mine with loving glance,
Tliine arm surrounds ine still.
Whnt though this world is cruel—fierce,
And weighs the spirit down ;
With thee my heart doth lose its care,
My brow its heavy frown.
Thou art the ' Angel of my life,’
For whom, might I command.
The earth should shower her rarest gifts
’Round thee on every hand.
And when the sun of life shall set,
And comes the night of death ;
I would that none hut thou shouldst take
My last faint parting breath.
Then, with thy kiss upon my lips,
Leave me-to m)' repose—
Mcthinks ’twill hallow e’en the sleep
“Which no more waking knows.”
Registration. —On Tuesday last wc
went through the ceremony of legalizing
our rights of suffrage. We went before
“the Board” and swore that we hadn’t
held office before the war (because we
wan’t popular enough to get it); then we
swore that we would do ever so many
things in the future, and make all our
neighbors do it. The boss register, forti
fied with an old copy of the “Opinion’’
in one hand, and the latest instructions
from Gen. Pope in the other, gently
reclining upon the bosom of George Pitts,
“administered” to us, and we forthwith
became one of “the Lord’s anointed,’’
duly qualified to go to the polls on terms
of perfect equality with the blackest dar
key in the land, provided tbe law isn’t
changed again before the election—for
all of which privileges wc feel truly
grateful. When we consider that our
individual grandfather on both sides of
the house fought bravely for American
independence—tlm one five years, the
other seven, aud went down to their graves
well scarred with wounds received from
British foes, feel profoundly grateful
to tlie present proprietors of American
dunghill patriotism for the inestimable
privileges thus conferred upon us,
and hope to live to see the day when
we shall be able to repay the entire debt
with compound interest. — Griffin Star.
A Letter from Paris says: “The
mixture of Eastern nationalities here
just now is striking. 1 should think
every ‘caste’ was represented. No sooner
do you get rid of a Turk than you meet
a Parisian ; pass him and you come to an
Egyptian; a Siamese twin or two next
meet you ; and, finally, a fine and very
black Nubian. Heirs to thrones are so
common that we do not take any notice
of them ; and so impatient is Paris that 1
regret to say that people arc beginning
to complain because there are tio Empes
rors or Kings here—only one little Vice
roy and a couple of Royal Princes!”
A friend who has made some inquiry
on the subject, informs us that at least
one thousand bushels of wheat were
grown within the corporate limits of the
town this year. The yield was very
heavy in some instances. Major Bear
ing, for example, made 301 bushels on a
single acre. —Athens Watchman.
Georgia must look t.o_ her laurels—or
rather to her “finders.’’ An exchange
paper tells us that a cargo of 37,000
bushels of African peanuts arrived last
week at Boston, which has resolutely
determined to put itself at the head of
the peanut trade.
Radical Inconsistency.
While the Republicans are loud and long
in proclamation of hostility to the “hateful
oligarchy of the skin”—that is the phrase —
they are proposing a war of extinguishment
against the Indians of the border; and in
California the rccent'y constructed platform
of the Republican party in tbe State Las a
plank upon which is inscribed; ‘‘That the
importation of the Chinese or any other peo
ple of the Mongolian race into the Pacific
States or Territories is in every respect in
jurious and degrading to American labor,
by forcing it into unjust and ruinous compe
tition, and an evil that should be restricted
by legislation and abated by such legal and
constitutional means as are in our power.”
The sections of the state in which no ne
groes live, are those most earnest in demand
ing their rights. W hen Negroes, Indians, or
Chinese do live, all parties are in favor of
excluding them from tho political family.—
Ilec. Dem.
How Smithson got a Wife.
Mr. Smithson (an improvement on the
name of S ;kh) wishes to take Miss llrownly
(another improvement) to the t-p-rn. H
had been on terms of intimacy with the fam
ily f>r about five yeais, but “never spoke of
low;” on the contrary, he had fn qceiitly <le
elated his intention of leading a bachelor’s
life. Once he put his hand to the hell
handle and was admitted. “O 1 James,” a
claimed Miss Jane, “where have you k- pt
yourself so long?' Tbi> took Smithson a
little aback, for ho lutd spent the preceding
evening with the family. Before he oout-.ffiaii
swer, how.Vcr’ Jane’s brothers and sisters
(eight or ten in number) had gath-red about
him. Summoning all his courag >, he said:
“I have come to ask you ” N.t here,
Junes; not—now—oh! “That is,” stam
mered Smithson,“if you’re not engaged ’
“Oh ! oh ! water—quick !” “What's that ?”
inquired her father; “who sa\ s engaged?”
‘I didn’t mean—•—’’said Smithson, in con
iii-ion. “Os course not,” continued Mr.
Brown!}; “you’ve always been our favorite I’’
Then advancing and taking poor Smithson’s
hand, lie said : “Take her—shu’s a good
giil, and loves you to distraction. May you
evei be as happy as the day is long.” There
upon futile! ar.d mother and children crowded
about Smitlison and wished him j >y, and
campany corning in at the moment, tho af
fair was told to them as a profound secret.
So Smithson got a wife without pepping the
question, and almost before lie knew it him
self. But we cannot help thinking he was
hurried into matrimony.
A correspondent of the Sumter Republic
can, writing from Alpharetta, July who
says he has visited twenty counties, says:
If my eyes and ears have been faithful me
dia of information we have much cause as a
people, to be delighted and pleased. Never,
in my life, do I remember to have seen at
this season of tho year, a more promising
corn crop, than tho present one. I am pleas
ed to see that the p?a and potato crops have
not been neglected, and are Broking fn.e'v. As
regards the wheat crop, the news is still bet
ter, as it may he considered beyond contin
gency, it being harvested and secured, and
very soon will he thrown upon the market
in quantities that will astonish both sellers
and buyers.
Colored People Who Think.— ln the
village if Terry, Hauls county, Miss., die
4th was c. let rated by a barbecue and speak
ing by whites and blacks, of whom 3 000
were resent. Ex Governor A. G. Brown
presided and several other di.-fingui.-hed Mi.—
sissippians addressed die crow-1, and so did
Rulla Williams, Ge-'. W. ilairis and other
colored men.
The distinguished feature of the meeting
was, that although 2,800 of the 3 000 were
Hacks, Radicals and Radicalism were Lhe
chief 01-j.-cts ot denunciation. The negro
speeches wore sensible and show that the
colored rr.en up there are beginning to com
prehend how hypocritical is the R idica! as
sumption that they are the only tiue fiiends
of the negro.
Here in Mobile the same ideas are crawl,
ing through the. heads of the colored men
and that class is as distinctly divided into
two parlies, as ever were the Whigs aud
Democrats in old times.
The Congressional tyrants may yet dis
cover that in the negro suffrage lottery they
have drawn an elephant. —Advertiser dt Reg

The man who with a hammer smashes the
end of his own finger, thinks he
hasn’t hit the right nail on the head.
A stump orator declared that he knew no
North, no South, no East, no West.
‘Then,’ said a bystander, “go to school and
learn geography.”
A Georgia paper asked whether it is sup
posed that Southern people will run North
ern men ? I’rentico answers ;
“ Well, we believe they did occasionally
run a few ot them during the war.”

Whatever we may think of a woman’s
right to vote and legislate, there can be no
dispute to their rights to bare arms—and the
prettier the better and inure irresistible.
Why is an elephant, running forcibly
against a laige tree, like a traveler on a
railroad ?
Because he gets his trunk checked.

Death of as Editor.— We regret to hear
of the death of Win. N. Esq., Editor
and I’roprietor of the Southern Cultivator,
which took place on Sunday last, at his resi
dence in Athens, Ga. Through his energy
and industry tbe Cultivator was second to no
other Agricultural paper in the country. —
New Era,
Worth Knowing. —One pound of green
copperas dissolved in a quart of water and
poured down a sink drain will iff- ctually de
stroy the foulest smells. For water-closets
on hoard ships and steam 1 oats, abort hotels
and oilier public places, there is nothing so
nice to cleanse as simple green copperas.
Dissolved under the bed in anything that
will hold water it will render a hospital or
oilier place for sick free from unpleasant
sruelh. For butehor’s stalls, fish markets,
slaughter-houses, sink- and wherever there
are offensive putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle it abuii', ami in a few Jays the
smell will pa— away. If a car. r.tt, or inoti-o
dies about tho house, and sends forth an of
fensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in
aii op-n ve-sel near the place where the nui
sance is, and it will sooo purify the atmos
phere.— Contributions for Alabama.
Good Gojsi'kl—An affimted editor, who
is troubled with hand organs under his win
dow, longs for the “evil day” mentioned in
E-vlesiast..«, when “the grinders shall cease
because they are few, and the sound of the
grinding shall be low.”
A dissatisfied couple in Cleveland, Ohio,
quarrelled the other day, when the husband
converted his property into cash, intending
to separate altogether and leave the city next
day. He deposited $1 500 between the cloth
and liuicg of his vest, where his wife found it
in the night. She substituted an old alma
nac. and the next day they took diffi-rent
trains, he going to Toledo in blissful igno
rance of his loss, and she to her fiienJs in
Indiana, with tho money.
A story is related of a young woman in
Clinton, Ilk, who, while washing windows,
pressed her hand thiough one of them, run
ning several pieces of glass into the flesh.
A physician extracted all the pieces, as was
supposed. But instead of that, the substance
penetrated every part of her body, and has
been extracted from eyes, head, arms, feet
and other members. Up to the 14th inst.,
over twelve hundred pieces of glass hud boon
cut out of her flesh. S x months ago lock-'
jiw was afll cted for about six weeks, except'
that she could drink between her clenched
teeth. At prosent she is a raviug maniac
more than half tho time, and in such agony
as words will not describe, and too incredible
to tell. At intervals she is rational, and able
to sit up and do some work.
“There is no Virginia.”— So says that
cloven footed old devil—T ad Stevens —in
his comments on Senator Wilson’s Richmond
speech. If radical dofnifiancy is to fast, we
say so lie it. Bolter that Virginia should ■
only exist as a bright ornament upon the
pages of history, than as an oppressed prov
ince of the gotrerfimeht her pons were n aiuly
instrumental in founding aud glorify ing.—
Ottaiva Sentinel.
Meanness,— “Talk about mean men,”
said old Fax. “Why, there’s that Bill lohn.
son, he’s the meanest man I ever heard tell
on. Bill was a constable here. Why don’t
you think he had an cxcution against mo for
a little matter of groceries, and he came out
and levied on my old woman’s ducks, and
wanted me to drive ’em up and catch ’em for
him, and I told him to catch ’em himself, and
so he chased ’em round and round the house,
and every time he’d catch a duck he’d sit
down and wring its heal off, aud charge
mileage."
Which i3 the Worst?
On the last Fourth of July, tho orator who
delivered the customary address to the Hubs
ilea said, among other things:
“Everywhere is chaos, social anarchy,while
our ears are greeted with the roar of some
brigand mob, or the cry of some half mur
dered man or outraged woman.”
The Button Post takes the eloquent gen
tleman to task for this flight of fancy, saying
“While the orator was denouncing the
South for its murders, mobs, uud other out
rages, more crimes are committed iu Boston
and its vicinity than on any other equal
space, probably, in the Union. A young
woman was murdered in Purchase street —
another in Cambridge street —a tnob occur
red in Knoelar and street, and a man was
a young man returning to bis home in West
R xbury, with his sister, was murdered —a
mob in Castle street was fired on by officers,
and an attempt was made to rob Trainer’s
Hotel; these were among tbe incidents of the
Fourth, to say nothing of the lesser outrages,
or the design to kill hundreds by placing
obstacles upon the Western railroad track.”
Having thus brought the reverend gentle
man to bock, the Post asks whether any
equal portion of the South can present a
crimiual record rxceeding the above!
An exchange makes the following statement
in reference to the prosperity of Savannah:
“Savannah has the second rank asacotton port
along the whole coast. She has surpassed Mo
bile the last season by nine thousand bales in
receipts, and has received one hundred thou
sand bales more than Charleston.

Divorce Laws in Connecticut.— The
debate in the Connecticut Legislature on the
divorce lawi brings out tho fact during the
past year 488 uisolu'ions of the marriage
bond occurred in that small State, and that
during the previous year there were quite aa
many divorces. One lawyer who took part
in the debate said he himself procured within
tho year three divorces for one woman !
This heats Chicago, and Chicago boats—
well, any other place this side of Hades.
The. new hill provides for better proof of
residence in the State, and for tho hearing of
cases in open court, instead of in ohambers r
It also provides that the applicant for divorce
on the ground of misconduct which affects
his or her happiness, must wait one year and
think tho matter over, and that no decree of
divorce shall take effect until the expiration;
of six months from the time it is rendered.
It also shuts off for two years an application
for divorce when the same has been refused.
All the features of the bill have been objec
ted to, and, judging from the temper of the
debates, we should say that tho land of
steady habits is almost ready to adopt the so
cial code of tho Oneida C-immunity.— Put.

For Housekeepers. —The following are a
few valuable household hints, which are
worth preserving:
Save your suds for garden plants ; or for
garden yards, when sandy.
Wash your teatrays with cold suds, polish
with a little llmr and rub with a dry cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch than
fresh ones; they also make nice cake.
A hot shovel held over varnished furniture
will take out the white spots.
A bit of glue dissolved in skiin milk and
wator will restore old crape.
Ribbons of any kind should he washed in
cold soap suds, aud not rinsed.
If your flit-irons are rough, rub them with
fine salt, and it will make them smooth.
Oat straw is the best for filling beds; il
should be changed once a year.
If you are buying carpet for durability*
choose small figures.
A hit of soap rubbed on bingos of doors
will prevent their creaking.
Scotch snuff put in boles where cridkets
come out will destroy them.
A gallon of ley putin a barrel of bard
water will make it as soft as rain water.
"What Six Men Say.
Butler says the party leaders hung an in
nocent woman knowingly, but did it to make
political capital.
Stevens says the fundamental principle of
Heir creed is (o confiscate all tho Southern
lands and give them to the negroes.
Wilson says the party must so manage
that they can depend upon the negroes of
tho South, when the white men of the North
turn against Radical measures.
Phillips says nothing less will Jo than a
black man for Vice President.
Greeley says bis party leaders are howling
Pharisees.
Weed says a portion of the leaders are
crazy fanatics—the balance, thieves.
All of these 9ix are prominent Radical
leaders and speak by the card. Nice party *
ain’t they ?
The Philadelphia Farmer says that equal
quantities of alum and salt, mixed and pul
verized, will stop tooth-ache—applied as
follows: wet a small piece of cotton, so that
the powder will adhere, and apply to the
hollow of the tooth. The editor says, “if it
does not cure, he will forfeit Lis head.”
A race horse having been recently killed
in South Carolina by lightning the owner
said, that there was some consolation in
knowing that nothing but a streak of light
ning ever caught him.

The Louisville Journal says: The cost of
all things at this time is remarkably high.
That of our Government is enormous. And.
we get a very mean article for our money.
A negro convicted of felony, was rescued
by 200 negroes, from the Sheriff of Nanse
mond county at Petersburg a few days since.
The police re-arrested the negro the next day,
