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. A Radical editor cries aloud, “Draw the lines !” Well, Rad, pass one around you neck, and we 11 draw it, says the cheerful Prentice. Advertising fora wife, says a cotempo rary, is just as absurd as it would be to get measured for an umbrella. An Irishman applying for relief being told to work for his living, replied. “If IM all the work in the world, I couldn’t do it.’’ A mother, try ing to get her little dauglr ter of three years old to sleep one night> said : ‘Anna, why don't you go to sleep?’ ‘I am trying,’ she replied. ‘But you haven’t shut your eyes - ’ ‘Well? I can’t help it ; ’urn’s come une buttoned.’ The amount of national funds which has passed through the Treasurer’s hands since March, 1861, is reported to be about §IS,SUU^OUU,UUO,UOU. The other evening a lady, who pretend ed to be asleep until her beau had well kissed her, woke up as if in the greatest amazement, and said, ‘1 think you ought to be ashamed.’ A fashionable New York lady at Sara toga, appeared last week in seven differ ent dresses on the same day. ..“Mr. Jones, why do you wear that bad hat ?’’ “Because my wife vows she will not go out of the house until I get a new one.’’ People often say they do not believe the newspapers, yet nearly all they talk about, and the most they know about anything, they leurn from the papers. — Isn’t it so ? Then take the newspapers. Virginia papers say that Chirk Mills is going to make an equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee, and lias already visited the General to make preliminary arranges ments. A distinguished clergyman, in a Cons nectieut town, recently attended a circus on the same afternoon on which lie had been engaged to officiate at a funeral, and, watch in hand enjoyed the evolutions of the ring till compelled reluctantly to leave and fulllil his funeral engagements. The Newburgh Journal notices a birth on the cars, and heads it, “Lorn at thir ty-nine miles an hour.’ Il that youth isn’t last, it won’t be because he hadn’t a good start. An insurance agent, urging a citizen to get his life insured, said, “get your life insured for ten thousand dollars, and then if you dio next week the widow’s heart will sing for joy\ 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 Herald. Instead of chronicling the fact that Jeff. Davis took a nap, a reporter said he “availed himself cl the recuperative ads vantages of a rpiict slumber.’’ 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 vation price. To let her sit in wet clothing 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 maid, “have you been after the salaratus?' 1 “No I haint.” “If you don’t go quick. I’ll tell youi mistress.” “Well, tell mistress as soon as you please. I don’t know Sally lialus, and wou’t go near her. You know I am engaged to Deb.” .. •• Dip the Atlantic ocean dry with a tea spoon ; twist you heel into the toe of your boot; make postmasters perform their prom ises and subscribers pay the printer; send up fishing hooks wilh hallooes and fish for stars; when the rain comes down like a cataract of Niagara, remember where you left your umbrella; choak a mosquito with a brickbat; in short, prove all thiugs hitherto corsidtred impossible, but never attempt to Coax a woman to say she “will,” when she Las made up her mind to say she “won’t.” 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 rebel States.” I saw one of the first, best and most honored of Georgia’s most gifted son’s, mounting the steps of the City Ilall in Macon, together with his servant, who was one of his slaves. The former went into the right to pay a largo sum for taxes, and the latter went to the left to register his vote.— The slave governs and the master finds ths money. Formerly when negroes voted in New Jer sey, a eandidate sent to an old negro preach er two barrels of nice pototoes. Next meet ing day he exhorted his hearers on the duly of voting, and the difference between W higs and Democrats. He told the story of the receipt of the potatoes, and added : "My bredren, some tell you to vote for de Whigs, some tell you to vote for de Demo crats, but I tell you vote where you get de * Give strict attention to your own af fairs and consider vour wife one of them
