From the Atlanta Constitution.
“Where Art Thou?”
TO ELLEN S .
Life of my heart, where art thou flown,
Upon the earth’s wide round—
Where bast tbou raised thyself a throne,
Or where a retuge found!
Or art thou in yon laughing heavens,
Far in the deep, deep blue—
No. for the thunder clouds have riven
That tent of azure hue.
Are bdduing leaves the secret shrine
Where fhou art hiding now t
No, for the wind and storms combine
To shake them from the bough.
Ait tbou by some mysterious power.d
Drawn to the stars, nr sun !
The enn has his appointed hour,
The stars their course to run..
Where e’er thou art. on me no m ore
Thy smile can shed its light—,
And all that seemed so bright before.
Is now a starless night. J.L. S
Charleston, S C„, Aug. 2, 18G8.
Trip Lightly.
Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong,
We only make grief double,
By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woe’s babes so tightly!
Why sigh o’er blossoms dead?
Why cling to forms unsightly!
Why not seek joy instead?
Trip lightly over rorrowi
l bongh all the day be dark,
The sun may shine to-morrow,
And gaily sing the lark,
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fled :
Theu never be down-hearted
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom;
We’ve pearls to string of gladness,
On this side of the tomb;
While stars are nightly shining,
And the heaven is overheard,
Encourage not repiningj l
But took for joy instead.
It is a well known fact that lazy
girls usually make lazy women.
They change about, sometimes, nut
notnften. A young man may well
think twice before he commits his
fortune and future prospects into
the hands of such a wife. It needs
a gold mine or a two hundred bar
rel oil well to support the extrava
gance of a lazy wife and when the
mine or well is exausted, then life
long discontent and misery.
Though the man’s, income may be
ever so great, there is still a
need of industry in the house
mother. Great possessions bring
very great cares with them. Let
no one fancy that in a house with
four servants the mistress would
have nothing to do. Asa general
thing, “Poor Richard’s” maxim
holds good: “If you wish to be
well waited upon, wait on yourself;
if you wish to he tolerably well
waited upon, get one to help you ;
if you wish not to be waited on at
all, get two to help you.”
An indolent girl or woman is
almost sure to he a peevish, fretful
one, as she has nothing to do but
to brood over her cares and worries
until they become mountains. Her
cheeks grow sallow, and her system
is all enfeebled for the want of
wholesome, outdoor air and vigor
ous exercise.
Young ladies, if you wish to be
beautiful in mind and complexion,
rise early. Do not let your mother
get breakfast alone and call you
down to eat it. She has done her
share of such work, and it is fairly
your turn now. Step about briskly,
toss up the hcd3, throw open the
shutters and windows, and let the
fresh morning air come in while j
you sweep out the chambers and j
thoroughly dust every nook and j
corner. Do not leavo the feeding
of your poultry to Bridget’s care
less hand, but do it yourself judi
ciously, and you'll find the differ
ence in the proceeds will buy you
many a pretty ribbon or new dress
which you covet. If you have
time for it, an hour in tho garden,
weeding beds, or training plants,
will help still further to bring the
roses to your cheek and the dimes
into the family treasury.
Our American girls do so little
out door work, that it is looked up
on as almost unwomanly to be seen
in the garden at anything more
laborious than picking a bowl of
berries. But in foreign countries,
(which we try to hard to imitate in
matters of dress and architecture,
tis considered a graceful accom- j

plishment; even the head of the
English nation, it is said, can han
dle a garden trowel, or train and
trim a rose bush, in the most ap
proved manner. Her children
have their gardens at their summer
residence, with a separate set of
tools for each, and their respective
places for keeping them, when they
have finished their morning exer
cise. A servant does not go about
after them to pick up the tools and
put them away, but each is requir
ed to put up her own. It would be
well for some American princes to
be under the same sytem of govern
ment for a time.
Let a young man observe carefully
a young lady’s department at home
before he asks her to become his
wife. Is she kind and industri
ous ! Does she seek to lighten the
cares of a weary mother ? And do
the little brothers and sisters run
to her with confidence and affection
in all their little troubles and sor
rows ? Then, no doubt, she is a
prize worth seeking. But if the op
posite is true, then beware about
trusting her with your house and
happiness. “A man must ask his
wife's leave whether he shall thrive
or not,” and a household with an
indolent woman at the head, never
can be a happy or prosperous one.—

Laboring* Man Calcula-
TING.
All we want the laboring man to
do is to calculate the difference be
tween the cost of living now and
the cost of living in 1859, before
the Republican party came into
power. A laboring man down in
Maine has set the example, and fig
ures as follows:
-"jpor four days’ work in 1859,1
buv a tjarrel of
J - Jin 1 • i*i 1 1 >4* i
[ i*avc to work eight 'Jays.
6 * For «one day’s* work in 1859, I
could buy five pound* of tea. For
The same day’s work I can now buy
two pounds.
For one day's work then I could
buy thirty pounds of sugar. For
a day’s work now I can get but fif
teen pounds.
For a day’s work in 1859 T could
buy eight pounds of tobacco. For
a day’s work now I can buy but
three pounds.
For a day's work in 1859 I could
buy fourteen pounds of coffee. For
a day’s work now I can buy but five
pounds.
For one month’s work in 1859 I
could clothe myself and family for
one year. To do the same now I
am obliged to work full two months
and a half.
I might go on through the whole
list of articles that a laboring man
and his family consume. The fact
is that we are permitted to enjoy
but one-half of the fruits of our la
bor; the other half goes to the Gov
ernment and the plurfderers of the
public Treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fel
low-laborers to look around us, as
certain the cause of all this robbe
ry of labor, and apply the remedy.
Falling from Grace.— Old Bil

him reeling home with a considera

“Hollo, Billy, s£M the friend,
“I thought you had joined the

“So I did,” answered Billy, mak

“Never did.”
“Well, you see, when we cum to
the baptizin’ place, tliar was me and
Jinks, the rich old Squire, war to
be dipped at the same time. Well,
the parson took the Squire in fust,
but I didn't mind that much, as I
thought ’twould be just as good when
I cum ; so he led him, and after dip

out. Then cum niv turn, and in

White Sulphur Spring's,
West Va., Angst 2.1. I^6B.
For the past tew days 'he poli'«
ical world has been intensely ex-;
cited over the visit V.f General
Rosecrans here p io to departure
on the Mexican diplomatic mis
sion.
Having first visited the Hot
Spring*, where General Robert E
Lee then was, and finding that
distinguished gentleman had left
for this beautilul resort, where he
was cordially welcomed, Rosecrans
set out in hot pursuit, and heru
found not only Lee, but the very
collec ion of representative South
erners he wished to cousult with.
The laudable object of the Gener
al is to effect, through the agency
of his former West Point compan
ion and prominet civillians, a re
conciliation of the entire- people of
the country. He comes here with
a desire to know the real desposi
! tioa and true intention of th ■
Southern people in the com’ng
Presidential campaign. He he
lioses that they represent more
ally the intelligent people of the
South than any feaders that ever
represented the mass of their pod
pie, and that the power which for
(oar years sustained the Confeder
acy, is capable of accomplishing
great good for the nation if set
beneficially to work. To put this
great infiaence actively to woik i
the General’s object. He thinks
that if it can be done our political
status as the greatest of repul can
governments can be secured, our
financial stability will follow, aad
that our bonds would tise to ]*r,
and also our greenbacks. lue

Rosecrans was held. A long con

action was agreed upon, but to this
time nothing has transpired of the
proposed movement. 11 is be

Jefferson Davis in Liverpool.
—Liverpool Star, of August 6th,
thus announoes the arrival of Mr.
Davis and his family;
The Celebrated President of the
Confederate Government during the
American civil war, Mr. Jefferson
Davis, arrived at Liverpool with his
family, on Tuesday evening, in the
Allan steamer Austrian, from
Quebec. Mr. Medley, accompanied
by his carriage, and several other
carriages and their owners, inclu
ding Mr. Medley, Jr., Mr. Prio
lean, Mr. James Spence, and other
well known friends of the Southern
government, were in attendance.—
'The ex-Presidont’s party included
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mr. Jeffer
son Davis, Jr., Mr. William Davis,
Miss Margaret Davis, Miss l . A.
Davis and servant; in their party
was also included Dr. and Mrs.
Rawson, MissJE. Rawson,and Miss
Mackenzie. Mr. Davis is a thin,
wiry looking man apparently about
sixty-five years of ago Tn fea
tures he is exceedingly like the
photographs of him, which are well
known in Europe as well as in
America. He was dressed in a
plain walking suit of gra J pi aiding,
and. on the whole, seemed to be
lively and well satisfied, although
he complained of being somewhat
out of health. Mr. Davis and his
family arc stopping at tho Adelphi
Hotel in strict privacy, and they
will remain in Liverpool for a few
days to rccuit from the fatigue of
of the voyage. Yesterday they re
mained in tneir apartments, where
they were visited by a number of
Americau and English merchants.
