Our Dcfltl.
Nothing is our own , we hold our pleasures
Just a little while, ere they are fled ;
One by one life robs us of our treasures ;
Nothing is our own except our dead,
They aro ours, and hold in faithful keeping,
Safe forever, all they took away :
Cruel life can never stir that sleeping,
Cruel time can never seizo tlmt prey.
Justice pales, truth fades, starafall from heaven;
Human are the great whom we revere,
No true crown of honor can be given,
Till the wreath lies on a funereal bier.
How the children leave us ; and no traces
Linger of that smiling, nngol band—
Gone, forever gone ; and in their places
Weary men and women stand.
Yet wo have some little ones (-till ours ;
They haTe kept the baby smile, we know,
Which we kissed one day, and hid with flowers
On their dead, white faces long ago.
When our joy is lost, and life will take it,
When no memory of the pust remains;
Save with some strange, cruel sting, to make it
Bitterness beyond all present pains,
Deaflt, more tender-hearted, lcavos to sorrow
Still the radiant shadow—fond regret;
We shall find, in some fair, bright to-morrow
Joy that he has taken, living yet.
Is love ours? and do we dream we know it
Bound with our heart-strings, all our own?
Any cold and cruel dawn may show it
Shattered, desecrated, overthrown.
Only the dead hearts forsake us never:
Love, that to death’s loyal cape has fled,
Is tints consecrated ours forever
And no change can rob us of our dead.
So when fate comes to beseige our city,
Dim our gold, or make our flowers fall,
Death, the angel, comes in love and pity,
And to save our treasures, claims them all.
A New Love Test.
The English papers tell of a senti
mental individual named Stanhope, who,
having become possessed with the notion
that his wife was not so fond of him as
she should be, resolved to put her love to
the test. This he did by hanging hints
self in effigy in the attic, and concealing
himself where he could watch the effect
of the spectacle. Here is the sequel :
After a while, his daughter came up
alter a skipping rope, and caught a
glimpse of the suspended figure. She
ran down the stairs, screaming, “Oh,
mother, mother ! papa.has hung himself.”
“Now, for it,” thought Felix, - in ambus
cade, “we shall have a touching scene
presently.” “Hung himself,” he beard

enough fur such a thing, or he would
have done it long ago. Well, I believe
he has done it, however,” she said, as
she came in view of Felix’s representative.
“Moll (to the little girl,) I think he
ought to be cut down. You had better
go in the kitchen and get a knife, my
dear; but don’t go down too fast or you
might fall and hurt yourself. Stay, I
forgot. There’s no knifo in the kitchen
sharp enough. You can go round to Mr.
Holmes, the shoemaker —lie’s only four
streets off—and ask him to lend us his
paring knife ; tell him to wnet it before
he sends it. And, Molly, when you arc
it? the neighborhood, you canslorJ at aunt
Sukey’s and ask ho - .v ths baby is.’ And
Molly, you can stop at ihe grocer s shop,
as you come baek, and get a pound of
sugai*.” , t .
“Poor Felix !” sighed Mrs. Stanhope,
when her daughter had departed; “I hope
we shall get him down before the vital
spark’s extinct, for these buryings are
very troublesome, and cost money. He
wanted to put an end to himself, too; and
I think I ought to let him have his way
for once in his life ; he used to say I was
always crossing him. I wish he hadn’t
spoiled that new clothes line ;an old
rope might have answered his purpose.”
Here a voice, which sounded like that of
the supposed suicide, broke in upon Mrs.
Stanhope’s soliloquy with “You confound
ed Jezebel, I’ll be the death of you !”
Mrs. Stanhope, thinking this must of
course be a ghostly exclamation, uttered
a wild scream, and attempted to escape
down the narrow stairscase. Felix, start
ing from his place of concealment, gave
chase. Mrs. Stanhope stumbled midway
on the flight of stairs, and Mr. Stanhope
having just reached her and made a grasp
at her disheveled hair as it streamed
backward, the amiable partners were
precipitated to the bottom together ; both
were badly bruised.

Atlanta, Ga., August 26, 1 67.
Dear Sir : I hate the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of yout letter of the 20th
instant, informing me that “There is a pop
ular belief, in this part of Georgia, that you
wil! use your piwers, as commander.of th'is
district, to give to debtors greater relief (rotn
the daims of creditors titan they can get,
cither from the bankrupt law or from con
s’ itutional legislation under the provisional
government of the Stale, or under ttie gova
eminent that may be formed in pursuance
of the reconstruction act of Congress ; and
therefore, some persons dtsire the continu
ance of the military rule and the postpone
ment of reconstruction, as the only means of
relief from their liabilities.”
You ask whether there is foundation for
such au opinion.
In reply, I have to say that I know of no
conceivable circumstances that would induce
me to interfere by military orders with the
general business of the Stale,or with the re
lation of debtor and creditor under the State
laws, except, perhaps, in individual cases
where very manifest injustice had been done.
The only military orders which I have
issued, or intended to issue in this district,
are such as I consider necessary to the exe
cution of the reconstruction acts. Ido not
understand those acts to warrant me in ma
king violent aud radical changes in the ordi
nary course of civil business, except in the
manner and for the purposes above indica
ted.
I do not see that the relations of debtor
and creditor and their adjustment in the
usual legal manner, have any proper connecs
Mon with the enforcement of the reconstruc
tion acts, so long as those relations are fairly
and justly settled by the courts without dis
crimination as to classes or individual*.
I repeat, then, that under no circumstances
which I can now foresee, will I issue any such
order as you say is hoped for by the people,
and it seems to me that any such relief as is
desired, if it can be obtained at all, must be
looked for to n State Convention or subsequent
legislation after Reconstiuction is accomplished.
The pressure upon me hitherto to issue au
order staying the collection of debts, has been
greater than it is likely to be again, and whilst
7 Bare net doubt tire subject is_ worthy of grave
afi't anxious considcr.-unm, Ido not consider
such matters properly within my province to
adjust. Very respectfully.
Your obedient sorvant,

Avery good story is told of a certain
prominent railroad gentleman of the city who
is equally renowned for his ability to make
and take a joke, A railroad employee, whose
home is in Avon, came on Saturday night to
ask fora pass down to visit, his family. You
are in the employ of the radroad ! inqtirtd
the gentleman alluded to. Aes.’ You re
ceive your pay regularly ? *Yes.’ Well.
Now suppose you were wotkingfor a farmer
instead of a railroad, would you expect your
employer to hitch r.p his team every Satur
ady night and carry you botpe f This sepm
ed a poser, but it wasn’t. ‘No,’ *aid the man
promptly ;‘1 would not ask that; but if the
farmer had bis team hitched up, and was go
ing my way, I should call him a darn’d mean
cuss if he wouldn’t let me ride.’ Mr. Em
ployee came out three minutes afterwards
with a pass good for twelve months.
A Dutchman thus describes an accident :
“Vonce a long lime ago I vent into mine
abble orchard to climb a bear tree to get
some beaches to make mine frow a plum
budding mit;and ven I gets on the toper
most branch I fall down from the lowermost
[imb mit one leg on both sides of the fence,
and like to stove my outside in.”
‘Mamma,’ said Eddie, while looking out
of the window one evening during a thunder
storm, ‘Mamma, isn’t it time for me to go
to sleep? 1 hear God pulling out his trun

this sentiment on a building near the
Springfield depot on Saturday ; “Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States ;

going to the devil.’
Three singular beings, covered with
but having human voices, have been
found roving wildly in Missouri, and a

Thet Served Him Right.— The Selma Times
says; “A certain young gentleman passed
through the county of Anson, a short time
since, vending tickets or certificates to the ne
rt-oes, which he told them would entitle each
holder to forty acres of land. He sold a large
number to the negroes along his route at fifty
cents each. The negroes, however, becoming
assured that they hail been swindled, pursued,
the scoundrel, overtook him, made him refund
the money with additional fifty cents in each
case, and then drew liis shirt, when they pro
ceeded Jo administer a severe flogging upon
his back. This done, they allowed him to go
on.bis way rejoicing.
Saved by a ‘ Miracle”—A Fancy Sketch.
The Trenton (N\ J.) American, a sadly

Why, we will, and sustain it by relating a
Boston story, which i* preeitely in point.—
Many years since there lived in the not over
classic neighborhood of Dock Square an old
fellow who was called by the boys General
H . He kept a “gin mill” and “prop
shop,” and was, altogetber, what is known as
a hard case. One morning he addressed a
crowd of loungers thus :
“Boys, I bad a queer dream last night -a
most ’stronary dream—fact.”
“Well, General, what whs it!” What did
you dream !’’
“Wall, boys, I dreamed I died.”
“No, did you! Well, where did ,’you go
to !”
4 Went to heaven.”
“O, eome now, General, that’s a little too
muoh, you know ; coulJ’nl be, you know.”
“Fact, boys, for all that —I went to heav
en.”
“But how did you get in, General!”
“Wall, that’s the queer part on it, and I’ll
tell you how. You see when I got over
there, I made my way up to a gate and
knocked, and asked what place that was, and
so in e bod v looked over the wall and asked
me what I wanted, and I said I wanted, to
come inside. Then he said he was St. Peter,
and that was the gate of heaven, and l told
him that was just whete I wauled to get to.
lie a-ked me some questions, and was just’
goin’ to let tne in, when, just my tarnal luck,
along come the devil, and he hollowed out to
Peter that I belonged to him, and bad’nt any
lusiness inside. Os course I could say noth
ing, but felt awful scary. Well, right away
he comes outside, and says he ‘Satan, what
claim have you got on that soul ?’ ‘Why,’
■wyw tue cent no istuiue, tie’s t>eeu sen mg
ruin and shaking props down in Boston more
than twenty years.’ *1 admit that,’says Pe-,
ter,‘but did’nt he always sell good liqiior ?>
‘Well yes, I’m bound to admit that he did,’
said Satan. ‘Did he ever cheat at prop sba-.
king!’ ‘Nut that I can prove.’ ‘Well, then,’
says the saint/you can’t have him on that.’
1 b'gttn to feel better, boys, when the devil
says he, ‘but this fellow sold ruin on Sun
days.’ Peter looked sharp at me, and, asked
inn if that was so. I daren’t lie, so I said :
•Yes, but I always paid the largest subscrip
tion of any man in the parish to.the minis
ter’s salary !’ ‘Well,’ says St. Piter to Sa
tan, that alters the case again, you see.”—
With that the devil got a little riled, and
says he, ‘I can’t.bother all day qbout bim—
suppose we raffle for him.’ ‘Agreed,’ says
Peter, and they threw me down and sot on
me, and Satan gol tbe ( first throw, and be,
threw three sixes ! Oh, didu’t I feel myself
a goner when I felt him wiggle his tail; for
be thought aud I knew that three, sixes
couldn’t beat ; and says he, ‘Peter I’ve got
him.’ ‘Hold on,’ says he, ‘I haven’t had my
throw yet.’ And he took the boi and shook
and shook, although I could’t see the use on
it, and as I’m a livin’ sinner yet, he threw
two sixes and a seven t The devil jumped
up quick, and putting off, says he, ‘Peter, it
ain’t no sort of use; if you are going to
come them miracles on me, you can have
him !’ So you see, boys, I did get io, but
it took a miracle to do it 1”
Delicate Decision.— lt is well enough
for all of us with the rest of mankind to
know that it has been decided that when you
tread on a lady’s train, in the street, you are
Dot required to apologize. You have a right
to be to the street. So has the lady; but
she has no more right to carry her train with
the expectation of having it respected, than
she has to bring her cradle and rock her ba
by in it. A train in a drawing room, how
ever inconvenient, is graceful and appropri
ate ; and if you do not like it you may keep
out of the room. You may go into the
street; you have a right there, and you have
a right to step on the sidewalk, and if any
wild wayward, waspy, willful woman dares
to unfurl her silk or satin banners between
your feet and tbe pave, it is at her royal risk,
and not yours.
Id dealing with an undertaker, always pay
his price, and never jew him down, for soon
er or later, he will surely find an opportunity
to retaliate on you, if he waits to the day of
your death.

The Pulpit Assailed. ,
, ( Cleveland, Tenn., Aug. 4, 1867.
Gents : An occurrence took place hero
this morning that is truly a sample of the
spirit of Radicalism, and one that the people
everywhere ought to hear of. It was an at
tempt to suppress religious services. The
following is tlje true history of the affair:
Rev. Thomas H. McCailie, a Presbyterian
minister, residing at Chattanooga, Tennessee,
was invited by the members of the Presby
toriau church at this place to conduct divine
services to-day. Mr. McCailie accepted the
invitation, and accordingly, came up on
Saturday evening’s train, to be ready 10 fill
his appointment to-day. At the depot he
was met by Captain David M. Nelson, a resi
dent of this place and a member of Governor
Brownlow’s staff, who informed him that he
could aot preach here to-day. Mr. McCailie
paid no attention to his remarks, but went
directly to his botirdiug house. This (Sunday)
morning, at the hour for services the bell was
rung for the congregation to assemble.
Very soon after, Captain Nelson and one
James J. Kelly came marching up the street
at the head of about fifty negroes, all armed,
some with pistols and knives, and others
with sticks and rocks. After the grand ar
my had arrived at the church they opened
column and formed on each side of the
street, opposite the church, after which'
Messrs. Nelson and Kjlley entered the
church, fastened down the windows, shut the
door and then went to the gate, where they
placed tbomselves on each sids and awaited
the approach of the enemy. Very soon they
looked up the road, and ( at some distance
they beheld two dusky forms approaching.
the murmur ran along the
lines, “he is coming.” They seemed alarmed'
at once. Nelson would occasionally pass
along the lines and speak some word to cheer
them up.
V/hat a grand sight to behold ( A squad
of about fjifty men, well armed, awaiting the
arrival of a meek, inpffensive minister of.
the gospel, who had coma to spread that
light before mat) which is indispensable for
hi* soul’s salvation. Slowly yet steadfastly
these two objects approached nearer andnea:-
er, when finally their features were plainly
discernible, and sure enough it was the hei
nous Mr. McCailie) ami old
Uncle Joe Swan, a plain inoffensive, and
Christian farmer, who resides someone
and a half miles north of Cleveland. Final
ly Mr. McCailie reached the gate leading
into the door of the church, where he
was rudely pushed back'by Nvlsoa, accompa- .
nied with an oath, “you can’t preach here.”
Mr. McCailie wished to know what authority
they (Nelson and Kelley) had to prevent him
from preachjng in that church. Their an
swer was, that he coulu. not preach treason
there , neither could he convert that into a
Southern church.
Mr. McCallio informed them that such waa
not his intention, and, says he, “I hereby
notify you in the presence of those witnesses
that, if you forcibly protest against ray en
tering the church to preaoh the Gospel, I
will hold you both responsible, and make
make you both account for it before civil
tribunals of our country.” Ho then explain
ed, to them tbe form of government of the
Presbyterian Cburob, alter which they gave
back and flowed him to enter. In the af
ternoon Nelson and Kelly were each fined
#25 and costs before the corporation author
ities, aud up to the time I left on the train
at fonr o’clock they were trying all the ne
groes that could be identified as being with
tbe party.
Radicalism is getting more and more op
pressive iD ( E»st Tennessee every day, and ere
long unless something is done soon to relieve
the Union Conservative people, the bayonet
must inevitably test it. JUSTICE.
Boquets.—The following may be of in
terest to tbe ladies : When you receive a
boquet sprinkle it lightly with fresh water ;
then put it into a vessel containing soap suds;
this will nourish the stem and keep the flow
ers as bright as new. Take the boquet out
