The Old Canoe.
The following beautiful poem is from the
pen of Gen. Albert Pike.
Where the rocks are gray and tbo shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep,
Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride
Leans gloomily oVcr the murky tide ;
Where the reedsnnd rushes nro full rind rank,
Where the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank,
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
Lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea-bird’s wiugs that the storm hath
stopped,
And crossed on the railing, one o’er one,
Like folded hands when tlie work is done ;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silver screen ;
And the solemn owl, with Ins dull “too whoo,”
Nestles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the slimy waye,
Rots slowly awuy in its hidden grave ;
And the green moss creeps o’er its dull de
cay,
Hiding the mouldering past away*
Like the hand that plants o’er the tomb a
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles a fallen tower,
\\ bile many a blossom of liveliest hue
Springs up o’er the stern of the old canoo.
The eurrentless waves are dead and still,
But the light winds play with the boat at
will,
And lazily in and out again
It floats the length of its rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at tho noontide chime.
And the shore is kissed ut each turn anew
By tho dipping bow of the old canoe
Oh, many a time, with a careless hand,
I have pushed it away from tho pebbly
strand
And paddled it down where tho stream ran
quick,
When the whirls wrire wild and the Storm w»i
thick ;
And laughed, as I leaned on the rocking
side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from tho old canoe.
But now, as I lean on the crumbling side
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that I see is graver grown,
And the laugh that 1 hear has a sober tone,
Aud the baud that lent to tho light skiff
wings,
Has grown familiar with sterner things,
But I love to think of the hours that flew,
As 1 rocked where the whirls their wild spray
threw,
Ere the blossoms moved or the green grass
grow
O’er the mouldering stern oT tbe old canoe.
Brother Crawford's Sermon.
‘You don’t see mo to-day in the dress I oi
lers wear. I come among you us a stranger,
and ani now tricked out in my store clothes.
I am not a proud man, but I thought it Would
be more becoming among stranger*.’
After this, lie raised a hymn, in which the
congregation joined. 110 then begun Lis ser
mon :
‘My dear brethren and sisters:- First and
foremost, I’m guine to tell you the affecting
partin’ I had with my congregation at Bethel
Chapel. After I had got through with my
farewell sermon, as I come down outen the
pulpit, the old gray headed brethren and sis
tern, who had listened to my voice for twenty
years, crowded around me, and with sobbing
voices and tearful eyes, said—‘Farewell, broth
er Crawford 1’
‘As I walked down the aisle, the young la
dies, tricked out in their finery, brass jewelry,
gewgaws, jimcracks, paint and flounces, looked
up with their bright eyes, and pronounced
with their rosy lips—‘Farewell, brother Craw
ord 1’
‘The young men, in their tight patent leath
er boots, high collars and dasuy waist-coats
smelling of pomatum and cigar smoke—with
shanghai coats and striped zebra pant# they,
too, said—‘Farewell, brother Crawford I’
‘The little children—lambs in the fold—lift
ed up their tiny hands and small voices, and
with one accord,said—‘Farewell brother Craw
ford 1’
‘As I got on my liorse, nnd bade adieu to my
congregation forever, I turned to take a last
look at the church where l bad preached mor’u
twenty years ; aud ns I gazed at its dilapidated
walls aud inoss covered roof, it too, soeined to
say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford 1’
‘As I rode through tho village, the psople
who poked their heads outen the windows, and
the servants who loant on their brooms, all
seemed to say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford I
‘As I passed along the highway, through the
forest, the wind as it whistled through the
tree tops, playing on tho leaves and branches
the burden of salvation, it too, seemed to say
—‘Farewell, brother Crawford 1’
‘Crossing a little creek that was gurgling
nnd singing over its pebbly bed, rejoicing on
its way to the great ocean of eternity, it, too,
seemed to say —-Farewell, brother Crawford 1’
‘As I rode along down a hot dusty lane, an
old sow, asleep in the fence corner, jumped out
of a sudden, and, with a loud broo too. broo
too, she too, seemed to soy—‘Farewell, brother
Crawford 1’
‘My horse got frightened, and jumped from
under me, and os he curled his tail over his
back, kicked up his heels and inn off, he too,
seemed to say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford !’
A Tennessee paper furnishes the following t
A gentleman informs us that while passing the
road from this place to Cooportown, he discov
ered in the road a hawk lying on his back, and
on approaching near he found that the hawk
had caught a snake, which had one of the
hawk’s claws clasped in his mouth, and was
so closely coiled around the hawk that he, the
I hawk, could not move. Our informant dis-
I mounted and killed them both.
Tennessee—The Triumph of the Negro.
The triumph of radicalism iu thn “\ T uluu
teOr Statu” is oauiplole—ths msj .rity being
anywhere between twenty-five and fifty thou
sand, It seems the negroes Voted square
and solid with the Radicals. We presume
they will do so whenever the issue is made.
Tennessee was tho first Stifle tt> get back in
to the Union, aud is to-day iu a worse con’d'*
lion—infinitely worse—than either of the
ten embraced ia the five military districts;
a fact w hich parties now engaged in dividing
and distracting the people of Georgia would
do well to take a note of. Toe-article below
from the Memphis Bulletin , is illustiative of
the farce.— Atlanta Intelligencer.
“We looked in upon them at their poflihG
places, at about 12 o’clock. Nut being a
voter ourselves, ou account of a supposed
defect of patriotism, our visit was, of course,
one of meie curiooj.',. To our eyes the long
procession of dusky figures making their way
slowly to the judge’s stand, bore the sem
blance of a fuueral procession. Liberty was
dead, we thought, and these her pall-lvarers.
The white people, those unfortunate individ
uals who bad been tabooed on account of
color, were looking on curiously, from a dis
tance, pretty much as they would look ou
the realization of some Eastern tale iu the
Arabian Nights. V,'e Bcanned the counten
ances of the dusky voters. Childish carios
ity aud simplicity, stolid indifference, blank
ignorance, wretchedness and crime were the
main characteristics. And these were the
voters of America, the m«n who are to be
the future guardians of the constitutional
iiberliei of these Slates, the law givers and
the judges of a land of white men. We
turned away sick at heart.
“ As we passed by Court Square, we found
a regiment of troops encamped, with a sen
tinel at each gate, with a bristling bayonet,
and rows of stacked arms belonging to the
men who were lying about among (lie shade
trees. The statue of Andrew Jackson look
ed down upon these men. How the old hero,
the constitution-defender, would have been
astonished if he could have arisen from bis
grave and looked upon all llieso things being
enacted in the State of lYnnessea, in the
year of grace 1867 ! Sic transit. The play
is over, the actors are dispersed, and our rea
ders will find in our local columns, that the
Caucasian, in the State of Tennessee, has
passed tinder the rule of the Africa. The
Yankee is avenged ; Hq has thrown dowu
the Southern man, anJrraited up the negro
in his stead. Tiiaffk'ljrod T* we have resisted
the desecration of our altars, and the degra
dation of our raoe, ell we knew how."
Alleged Abduction in North Caroli
na.—The Winston (N. C.) Sentinel state?
that one day last week n party of meu from
Tennessee, claiming to belong to Tlrovnlow’s
militia, made a raid into Wilkes county,
North Carolina, and arrested and carried isl
a young man by the name of Wagoner. —
Wagoner is a native of Johnson county. Ten
nessce, and at the commencement of the war
joined the Ist North Carolina cavalry, and
did not visit his home during the struggle,
and eince the war, being afraid to return
home, ho settled in Wilkes county and re
cently married. The men who carried him
off told him they were acting under authori
ty of Brownlow, and that ho had offered
S4OO reward for him. The captors placed a
guard of two men,one on each side of him, and
placed a rear guard over biin, with the in
structions to fire off a gun on the approach
of any one that had tbe appearance of pur
suit, and the firing of tbe gun was the signal
to the guards near Wagoner’s person to kill
him. When the party was approaching
Taylorsville the rear guard stopped at a
branch to drink, and fell to the rear some
thirty or forty yards. Wagoner conceived
this to be the best and last chance to escape.
He suddenly struck one of bis guards and
knocked him off a steep embankment, and
immediately struck the other and darted into
the woods. Dy this time the attention of
the whole party was drawn to him, and they
fired a volley after him but his person was
not touched although several balls passed
through his clothing. He got safely back to
Wilkes after three days.
AOAiNfer tiie Cuuksnt. —A waggish chap,
whose vixen wife by drowning lost her precious
life, called out his neighbors all around and
told ’em that his spouse was drowned, and in
spite of search, could not be found. He
knew, he said, the very uook where she had
tumbled in the brook, and be bad dragged
along ‘.he shore, above the place, a mile or
more. “Above the place!” the people cried;
“why, what d’ya mean!” The man replied,
“Os course you dou’t suppose I’d go and waste
the time to look below ? I’ve known the wos
man quite a spell, and learnt her fashions
tolerable well ; alive or dea 1, she’d go, I
swow, against the current anyhow !’’
As Jeff. Davis passed through the town
Staustead, Vermont, the other day, a crowd
of Yankee boors aud rufliins hissed and threw
stones at him, .
Pay the Debt in Greenbacks.
The Columbus City (Indiana) Post thus
expresses the general sentiments of all who
have thought upon the rjtteslion. It says:
“Pay the debt in greenbacks," is the rak
I\ icry of the toiling millions of white men
who are now almost crushed to the earth by
the enormous burdens which a radical, bond
holding revolutionary party have imposed
Upon them. Yes, pay the debt in green'
backs, and pul the laboring man on an
equality with the banker and bondholder
Pay the debt in greenbacks, and save one
hundred and silty millions of dollars in inter
est yearly—enough of itself to pay the na
tional debt in fifteen years, Pay the debt
in greenbacks, and strike down one of the
must tinrelentingmoneyed aristocracies which
ever cursed any people, l'ay the debt in
greenbacks, and by so doing you will legislate
twenty thousand Federal officers out of c ffioc
and save millions of dollars.
“The Supreme Court of the United States
hare decided that greenbacks are a legal ten*
der—the same as gold and silver —in the pay
ment of any debt. If they are a legal tender
to pay the laborer, are they not as much so
to pay the bondholder 3 If they are good
onough to pay the widows and orphans the
small pittance due them, are they not good
enough to pay the bondholders? Or are
flesh and blood not as good as the nttouey
of an exempted bondholder 3
“Let the cry of ‘pay fke debt > u K reen ‘
backs’ be taken up in the East, Weal, North
and South, and all will yet be right.”
Gbniiial Kobkrt E. Lsb. —The fallowing
extract is taken from an interesting letter
written by a lady in Liberty, Bedford county
Va.:
“Gen, Lee, accompanied by his daughter
Miss Mildred, stopped here for a night on his
way to the While Sulphur. While here the
General’s old officers proposed giving him
an entertainment in the shape of a dinner or
supper, but he declined all public demonstra
tions. As he rode through the village on his
departure, the citizens assembled, and while
lie was parsing along the streets every man
raised bis hat and stood with bowed head. —
The General also raised bis hat, and this si
lent tribute to their favorite General was
indeed beautiful. A gentleman ridiog with
the General at the time says ‘that ho felt
like weeping, il being such a solemn tribute
of respect —so silent and sad-—not a voice
was raised, ’l’was the heart-Colt lovo of a
ooniprored people lor a beloved herof’
A Nobls Womax. —A loiter from Mexico
says : Col. Miguel Lopez, the traitor, after
selling Maximilian and his Generals, wont
to Puebla to visit his wife. Ilis wife advanc
ed to meet him, leadiug their little son by
the hand, aad addressing him thus : “Sir,
here is your son; we cannot cut him in two,
take him. You aro a base coward and trait
or. You have betrayed your country and
your benefactor. From this hour we are
strangers, for I shall this day retire to my
family. Go.”
What it means. —“Wo can have every
State iu the South if our friends are wise,
and show to the peoplo that Republicanism
means peace, economy, good government,
general prosperity.”— Tribune.
Let us see how Republicanism means
“peace.’*
On its accession to power it helped to in
volve the country in a civil war, arraying
one-half the country against the other half
in deadly hostility, and filling tens of thous
sands of graves, upon which the grass h»6
scarcely bad lime yet to grow.
Let us see bow it means “economy.”
It has helped to run up a national debt
of neaily three thousand millions ot dollars,
imposed taxes upon the people the like of
which were utterly unknown before, and
mortgaged Libor and Industry to Capital at
least lor a generation to come.
How does it menu “good government?”
•Let tbe present political and social condition
of at least ten Slates of the Union testily. —
The onlv government there is a government
of guns —‘with no prestige of popular sanc
tion, to give it dignity or respectability. Tne
governors do not derive their powers from
the consent of the governed, but from the
merest caprice of a Rump Congress.
Finally, Republicanism means “general
prosperity,” by paralyzing trade and com
merce, through the operation of ruinously
high tariffs, under the false pretence of af
fording protection to home industry. The
almost total annihilation of our once great
shipping interest is notably a feature of that
kind of “great prosperity” of which we ex
pect to have a great deal more, before we
have less, if this thing ctiled R?publican : sni
is to he continued. — New York Express.

calls attention to a communication in iu
columns from T. C. Peters, who was commia

report of ii» agricultural products, and suy»;
“There is no use for Southerners to talk abouf
a better country than our own. It is
true our political situation i* just at this

in two, there will be a change for ths better.
Wo have as fiue a Country as the suu shines

agricultural system. Manure and cultivate
well, and rich repay the laborer.”
Corn in Texas, —As showing what a pro
digious corn-crop will be raised this year in
Texas, tho Ty ler (Texas) Reporter of the lOtbt
says:
Two weiks ago Corn could not lie bought
iu this market for less than two dollars and

one hundred bushels, choice, was sold on our
public square for seventy flvo cents per bushel.
We are informed that new corn can bo euw

A little eight year old girl was lost in the
