Found Lead.
BY ALBERT LEIGHTON.
i Found dead—dead and alone ;
I There was nobody near, nobody near
i W 1 en the outcast died on hie pillow of stone,
! No mother, no brother, nor sister dear,
Not a watching eve or pitying tear.
Found dead—dead and alone
In a roofless street on a pillow' of stone.
Many a weary dav went by,
While wretched and worn no begged for bread,
Tired of life and longing to He
Peacefully down wilh the silent dead.
Hunger and cold and scorn and puin,
llad wasted bis form and seared bis brain,
Tin at last on a bench of frozen ground,
With u pillow of stone was the outcast found.
Found dead—dead and nlono
Ou a pillow of stone in the roofless street—
Nobody heard his last faint moan,
Or knew when his sad heart ceased to beat.
No mourner lingered with tears or sighs,
But the stars looked down with pitying eyes,
And the chill winds passed with waiting sound
O’er the lonely spot where his form was found.
Found dead—yet not alone ;
There was somebody near, somebody near
To claim the wanderer as Ilis ow n,
And find a home for the homeless hero.
One, when every human door,
Is closed to children accursed and poor,
M ho opens the heavenly portal wide,
Ah ! God was near when the outcast died.

Valuable Invention—Self Acting Rail
road Switch— One of the most valuable
inventions peitaining to Railroads that has
ever been made has recently been perfected
by Mr. J. I'. White, a Savannah mechanic,
well known for his improvements upon sew
ing machines. The invention, for which be
has secured a patent, was conceived and per
fected by him while guarding a Railroad du
ring the war. The main feature of the switch
is that the engineer has in his own hands the
machinery by which be can switch the train
from the main to the outside track while the
train is in motion. It i3 adjusted by levers
attached to the locomotive in front of the
forward wheels, acd so arranged as to be
easily managed while the Cars are i.i full mo
tion. These levers, coming in contact with
others attached to the switch itself, produces
the desired change immediately. Care, how
ever, must be taken that the lever opposite
the desired course is used. As soon as the
switch is moved from one side to the other it
locks by means of levers, and remains until
another change is effected. — Sav. Acws and

It is not charily to give a penny to the
street beggar of whom nothing is known,
while we haggle w ith a poor man out of em
ployment for a miserable dime. It is not
charity to beat down a seamstrees to a star

sewing all day ;to deduct from her pitiful
remuneration of the storm delays her prompt
arrival. It is not charity to t..ko .a poor rel
alive into your family make her a slave to
all your whims and taunt her continually
w ilh hep dependent situation. It is not char
ity to turn a man out into the street with
his family; because he cannot pay his house
rent. It is not charity to exact the uttermost
farthing from the widow and orphan. It is
uot charity to give with supercilious air and
patronage, as if God had made you the rich
tuair, of different blood from the shivering
recipient, whose only crime is that ho is poor
It is not charity to be art txtortiouer —not
though you bestow your aim* by thousands.
In the first cases of bankruptcy coming
before the United States Court in South Car
olina, Judge Bryan charged the jury that the
suspension by a banker, merchant or trader
to meet his commercial paper at maturity
nonsresumption of payment within fourteen
davs, although without fraud’ created an act
of involuntary bankruptcy ; that aa\as-ign
meat made under the State law last may, al
though in trust for the benefit of the creditors
of a trader, constituted the assignor an iuvol
untary bankiupt as tending to hinder and
defeat the operation of the bankrupt act.
A Faithful Loteb. —"Dick,” inquired

The Newspaper. — Henry Ward Beecher
speaks thusly of the newspaper 1
“The newspaper —it never grows tired.—
It neve’r wears spectacles. It never grows
old. It is renewed every morning, and is
fresh every evening. It goes everwhere. It
penetrates the forest, the mine, the very shan
ty of the furthest settler. It is in the shop
and on the ship. It is among the most la
borious men in the city and in the country.
The drayman Las it; tho collier has it ; the
farmer has it. All classes read the newspa
per. There are so many if them in compe
tition that they swarm in every department
of life. They seem to us, as we gaze upon
them, as simply as enterprises ; but, in point
of fact, they are instruments which God is
employing to utinize the thought and feeling
of the vastest natiou that ever held a com
mon population.”
The Editor and the Fortune Teller. —
A Kentucky editor visited a fortune teller re
cently. He makes the following report of
the revelations concerning the past and future.
“Thou hast served three years in the peniten
tiary for a horse thou did-t not steal, lliou
wilt be governor of the State, and afterwards
decline a seat in the Senate of the U cited
States. A wealthy young lady, with Hue
hair, auburn eyes, and very beautiful, is now
about to graduate from the House of correc
tion, whom thou wilt marry as soon as thy
present wife diest, which will be at the four.li
full of the next moon. Thou will become
posessed of this lady’s waelth and elope with
the wife of a coal-boat engineer. Thou wiit
go to New Orleans and start a keno bank,
which will bring thee great riches. After
an absence of nineteen years tbou wilt return
to thy repining wife, lay thy princely fortune
at her feet, be forgiven, and after raising a
family of nineteen children, die I appy, at the
age of ninety-nine.”
An Important Fact, —A writer in Mil
ledgeville Recorder signing himself “Win.
McKinley,” says the Bankrupt law provides
that no debtor desiring a discharge from the
burden of his debts, can get such discharge
after June Ist, 1868, unless his property is
sufficient to pay half his debts. If debtors
fail to apply for the benefit of the net during
the first year and yet are not able to pay one
half of their debts, there is no certain relief
f o | him; but they will have to live under the
burden ot their debts forever, or until a ma
jority of fiieir creditors assent in writing to
their discharge. Debtors who apply for dis
charge during the first year, to June Ist,
1868, can be discharged, no matter bow
little they pay* Tine is precious to those
much in debt.
Courting in -the Right Style.— -“ Get
eout, you, nasty puppy ! Let me Jalohe, or
i’ll tell your ma,” cried Sally to her lover,
who sat about ten feet off, pulling dirt from
the chimney j m.
“I ain’t tech in’ on you,” responded Jake.
‘Well, perhaps you dpi’t mean to, outlier,
do you!’
‘No, I don’t.’
‘Cause your too darned scary, you long
legged, lanler jawed, slab sided, pigeon-toed,
gangle-kneed owl, you—you haint got a
tarcal bit o’sense—get a long home with
you 1’
“Now, Sal, I love you, and you can’t help
it; and if you don’t let me stay and court
you, my daddy will suo your’n for that cow
he sold him t’other day—by jingo.l ho said
he’d do it.”
‘•Well look here, Jake; if you want to
court me, you’d better do it as a white mao
does that thing—not sit off’ there as if you
thought I was p’Zen.”
“How on Mirth is that, Sal f”
“Why side right up hero and hug and
kiss rne, as if you really had some of the
hone aud sinner of a man about you. Do
you ’spose a woman’s only made to look at,
you stupid fool you ! No 1 they’re made for
“ practical results,” as Kossuth says—to hug
and kiss, and sioh like.”
‘We!!,’ said Jake, drawing a long breath,
‘lf I must I must, for I love you, Sal;’ and
so Jaka commenced sidling up to her, like a
maple poker going to battle. Laying his arm
gently upon Sal's shoulder, wo thought we
heard Sal say :
“That’s tho way to do it, old boss ; that is
acting like a white tnan otter."
“Oh, Jerusalem and pancakes!” exclaimed
Jake, “if this ain’t better than any apple*,
sass that ever marm made, a darned sight!
Orak ee 1 buehwheat cakes, and ’lasses haint
nowhere ’long side of you, Sal, Oh ! how
I love you !”
Here their lips came together, and the
report that followed was like pulling a horse’s
hoof out of the mire.

Profanity. —Why will men, but more
particularly Masous, take the name of God
in vain ? What possible advantage is gain
ed from it ? and yet how many of the frater
ternity, who have proclaimed their trust in
God, knelt before tho Great Light, and fol*
lowed to itj»|ose, as participants, our mag
niftoient are daily guilty of this sin
against One, and offense to de
cency. (Ju this point the North American
Review says well:
“There are among us not a few who feel
that a simple assertion or plain statement of
ohviuus facts will pass for nothing, unless
they swear to its truth by all the names of
the Deity, and blister their lips with every
variety of hot and sulphurous oaths. Ts we
observe such persons closely we shall gener
ally find that the fierceness of their profanity
is in inverse ratio to the affluence of their
ideas.
“We venture to affirm that the profanest
men within the circle of your knowledge are
all afflicted with a chronic weakness of the
intellect. The utterance of an oath, though
it may prevent a vacuum in sound, is no in
dication of sense. It requires no genius to
swear. The reckless taking of sacred names
in vain is as little characteristic of true inde
pendence of thought as it is of high moral
culture. In this breathing and beautiful
world, filled, rs it were, with the presence of
the Deity, and fragrant with the incense from
a thousand alters of praise, it would bo no
servili'y should wo catch the spirit of reverent
worshippers, and illustrate in ourselves the
“Christian is the highest of man.”
MarriaO*. —Wedded love is beautiful
when heart meets heart —when confidence is
unshaken, aud Hope bounds like an eager
child, gladly torth into the future ; when
woman finds that the arm she leans upon is
strong to defend and shield her weakness,
and bv the gentle ministrations of her love
renders her home a paradise of rest and re
freshment for her chosen one—Oh! ther,
united lives yi-1 1 happiness, and are beauti
ful in their unity.
But when one turns, as is too often the
case like a broken prop to wound the other
—-when hope is shipwrecked aud confidence
betrayed—when the world is dark, and
dreary, and strange without, and there is no
fire burning brightly, emitting heat and light
from the domestic hearth-stone, then life
puts on sober Lues, and marriage becomes a
galling chain, dragging its victims to des
pair.
We hear much o f unhappy marriages.—
Even in the garden of Eden the strife began.
Adam, standing iu the presence of God,
strove to shield himself from blame, by
criminating bis. wife. ‘.‘The woman tempted
me, and I did eat!” As long as there exist
a diversity of tastes, defective education
among both parties, marrying for mere fan
cy, and marrying for mere money, so long
will continue to ejtisl recrimination and
strife, and that doubtless will be until the
dawn of the Millennium,
VOL. 2, NO 15
Blessed are Paying Subscribers
The following record we publi h for the
benefit of those concerned, hoping after a
careful perusal the hint will betaken:
Blessed is the man who doth subscribe for
the newspaper and pay therefor. Ilis feet
shall not stand upon slippery places; he
shall not be forsaken by his friends nor per
secuted by his enemies, nor shall his seed
ever be seen begging.’
Blessed is he who walketb to the office of
the newspaper, yen, even entereth the sanc
tum and payeth a year’s subscription therefor.
Selah!
He shall learn wisdom day by day, and be
exhalted above his fellows.
lie shall talk knowingly upon all subjects,-
and his neighbors shall be astonished at
the muchness of his learning.
lie shall not contract bad debts or lose
good bargains.
He shall not pay an additional per cent,
on taxes, for his eyes shall behold the notice
of the collector, and he will tako warning
thereby.
Verily, ho shall bring his produce to the
market when the prices are exceedingly good,
and withhold it when the prices descendetb.
lie shall not lay hold of red hot pokers,
for his knowledge of metalurgy will teach
him that hot iron burns.
His children shall not vex him, nor his
wife wear breeches.
no shall live to n good old age, and when
his dying hour is at hand, his sou! shall not
be troubled as to its future state.
But it were bettor for him who doth refuse
to subscribe for the newspaper that he be
bound hand and foet and cast upon a feather
bed.
lie shall have no rest either by day or
night, for visions of creditors shall dance up
on his stomach by night and their actual
presence torment him by day.
If perchance he has a moment’s peace it
is only that ho may have a little rest ere the
memory of an evil life lacerates his mind, as
the goad pricks tho hide of the strong ox, so
that his punishment may be no longer drawn
out.
His children shall grow up in wickedness,
they shall put their hands to their noses and
vex him to wrath, and his wife shall kick him
out of bed.
Joe Brows and the Rads. —A correspon.
dent of the Louisville Courier writes as fol*
lows:
I have one piece of good news among all
tho gloom. Joe. Brown is thrown over board
by the Georgia Radicals, and he now occu*
pies about the position which the Third party
does in Kentucky. lie is neither fish, flesh,
fowl or red herring. Southern men refuse'
to acknowledge him. The Conservative Re
publicans have no faith in him, and the
Radicals refuse to trust him. The negro
trader has pat his nose out of joint com
pletely ; and even the Potash Farrow, wfiio
always wanted to betray the Government
that paid him, has a much better chance of
preferment than poor Joseph, who was “born
and raised in Calhoun’s district.” I unders
stand that the cordial relations which used
to subsist between him and Mr. A. EL Steph
ens have ceased entirely, and that Judge
Irnton Stephens (brother of the ex-Vice
Piesident) openly denounces Joe in unmeas
ured language. In Milledgeville, where for
eight years ho ‘lived in clover.’ lie wrote
to a gentleman, who owns a public ball in
that city, to engage it for one of his last' har
angues, and he received for reply : ‘T would
not let you have it even if you were to pay
me all tho monoy from the Treasury of
•ihe State of Georgia.” Another gentleman,
whom be invited to- come and hear him
speak, replied : “I am thoroughly convinced
that you are a traitor to your country with
out hearing tho confession from your own
lips.” Iu short, Joseph is played out. He
whines a good deal about ingratitude, and
disclaims Radicalism, and is now a good deal
in the situation of the donkey between two
bundles of hay,
I witnessed the other day a remarkable
illustration of the “better government of the
