~~ THE SONoVIV THE STREET.
1 With lips all livid with cold,
And purple and swollen feet,
A woman in rags crouched on the flags,
Singing the Song of the Street;
“ Starve! starve! starve!
Oh, God! ’tis a fearful night!
How the wind docs blow the sleet and the
snow!
Will it ever again be light?
I rang at the ‘ Refuge ’ bell,
I have heat at the workhouse door,
To bo told again that I clamor in vain,
They arc ‘ full,’ they ‘ cau hold no more.’
' stnml starve! 4J*
Os crowds that pass me by,
Some with pity, and some in pride,
Rut more with inditTcrcnce, turn aside,
And leave me here to dfc!
Oh ! you that sleep in beds
Wills coverlet, quilt and sheet—
Oh ! think, when it snows, what it is for
those
j That lie fu the open street—
That lie in the open street,
On the cold and frozen stones.
When the winter's blast, as it whistles past,
Ilites into the very bones!
Oil! what with the wind without,
And what with the cold within,
1 own l have sought to drive away thot%ht
With that curse of the tempted, gin.
Drink! drink! driuk!
Amid ribaldry, gas glare;
If there's hell on earth,
'Tis the ghastly mirth
That maddens, at midnight, there.
OIi! you that never have strayed,
Ilccausc you have not been tried—
Oh! look not down, with a Pharisee's
frown,
On those that have swerved aside.
And you that hold the scales,
Aud you that glibly urge
That the ‘only plan’ is the prison van,
The treadmill, or the scourge—
Oh ! what nrc the lost to do?
To famish, and not to feel ?
For days to go, and never to know
What it is to have one meal ?
They cannot buy, they dare not beg;
They must cither starve or steal!
Food! food ! food!
If it be hut a loaf of bread ;
And a place to lie.
And a place to die,
If it be hut a workhouse bed :
If you will not give to those thut live,
You at least must bury the dead!"
With lips all livid and blue,
And purple and swolleu feet,
A woman in rags sat crourhed on the Hags,
Aud sang the Song of the Street.
As she ceased the doleful strain.
My homeward path I trod,
And the cry and the prayer
Os that lost one there
Went up to the throne of God.
PEOPLE WILL TALK.
Von may get through the world, but 'twill
be very slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we go;
We'll be worried aud fretted, and kept in
a stew,
For meddlesome tongues will have some
tiling to do,
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you’ll have it pre
sumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You’re a wolf in sheep's clothing, or else
you’re a fool;
But don’t get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
If generous nnd noble, they’ll vent out their
Spleen,
You’ll hear sonqj loud hints that you’re
selfish and mean;
If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking
way,
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness of
heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own
part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited
and vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to ex
plain,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress or old fashioned
your bat,
Some one will surely take notice of that
k And hint rather staong that you can’t pay
your way,
But dont get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in tbe fasliiog, don't think to
escape, -
For they criticise then in a different shape;
you’re ahead of your means, or your tail
or’s unpaid,
BUt mind your own business, there's naught
to be tnhffe,' *
For people will talk.
Now the beat way to do, is to do as yon
please, *
For your mind, if you have one, will then
be at ease;
Os course you will meet with all sorts of
abuse, * . *
But don’t think to stop them, it ain’t any .
use,
For people will talk •

LOVE’S LA HER WtT.V
The sun had gone outeii sight, and
darkness was about to wrop this sub
loonary sperc in one complete, totlc,
grand, sublime, and pccooliur eclipse;
the chickeus had ceased their weary
tramp aud gone to roost; the booti
ful owl and sweet katie-dids had be
gun to kum out from their hiding
places, and were singing shoo fly to
immaginnry awjiences ; the sketer had
sharpened his william to stick inter
sombody’s else’s bill; iu lack, all an
imated kritters that prefers darkness
rutker than lite was on the ram pus.
In other wurds it was gittin dark—uite
was comiu on. Well, as I was a goin
on ter say, this subloouary sperc was
wropt up in darkness. A young fe
mail wropt iu u.denp study an a brown
shawl mite a bin seen gitin over a
fence, if cnybody had bin lookin, and
it hadent bin dark, and wendin ber
way doun through a pine-saplin thick
et, and as she wended she Tell inter a
reverie w hich kum mitynigh sprainin
her aukle, she got out of the
ditch and went on to thor spring,
Betsey Baker sut down an soliloquised
—for Betsey Baker was her name—iu
about the following stile, to wit, name
ly. I hope the reedcr will parduu me.
I had forgot to tell who Betsy was,
and whar she lived. Betsey Baker
was the darter of pore but honist
folks. Through the influence of her
frends, Betsey got to be inStrukter of
the village skule. Betsey was a aw
ful purty gurl, and pursessed a mid
dliu eddycashun, but Betty wus likin
in mathymntikill nollcdgc, spessully
when she kum to kackilatin how ole
she was. She, accordin to the rith
metick she used in her skule, was only
twenty'; witch faek, by the way, I
baint got no rite to dispute, bekause
tbe ladies generally give their ages
corrcckly. Let me remark, rite here,
that the most remarkablest thing in
my reckollecksbun is, that I never
seed a unmarried womon over twenty
years ole in my life. When they stop
growin, their ages stop growin too,
till they git marrid. But tis woman’s
rites-to kackilatc ther ages in thcr
own pccooliar stile, and as I always
allow them very broad latitude and
very long longitude, espeshully, my
wife, in the seleksun of bonnets, so do
I, in the selckshun of suitable ages.
Well, as I was say in, Betsy was
soliloquisin, and you might a heard
her think two hundred and fifty yards.
She thunk somewhat after this man
ner. Oh, my Jems! thou who is gout
to India’s coral strand to bekum a
hero man, how long, oh! how long,
has your mustash got, and liaint you
got bronzed enuif to look manly yit?
Methinks I bear j'ou say, yes. If you
did, fly to my arms, my own, my
dearest, and most preshushest punkin
pic and let me buss you.
Sumtimes I git poetiklc, and rite
verses ole Shakespeer cant tech with
a ten foot pole.
I am lonely, to uite, love, without you,
I am thinking alt the time about you;
Then never fear, I’ll never doubt you,
My own, my dearest Jemes Brown.
Sometimes I am borne away as
’twere. by the ideal above tbe clouds,
and made to sore amid the reems of
space, and made to look down upon
the balance of mankind, like a hawk
does on a chicken. In these happy
moments I think of my Jems—how I
would like to see him—to see his luv
ly countenance and them striped
britches he used to ware.
At this pint iu the soliloquy, Betsy
took her pale of water and started fur
the house. When she got about half
way, she seed that solitary horseman
wc so often find in stories, kum gal
. luppin towards her on a mule.
She fell down nnd sprained her
ankle, which caused her to swoon
away, and she never cumc too no
more in nine weeks.
That solitary horseman was Jems
Brown. Jems was the only son !
of Rubin, the dubble-jinted black
smith, and bad bin off to lam tbe
trade, but arterwards, by a streak of
luck, he went to India to be made a
hero of? For the first two years
Jemes got letters from Betsy very
often, but now, as he had’nt hearn
from her in nigh unto twelve years,
he thought she was dead. Jems was
so troubled about it, he bekum
sickly; and worn out with India, aud
tired of life, he come back home to
die. On the evening that they met,
Jems had got back, and wishiu to
visit the ole spring that him and
Betsy use to wash their feet iu when
their mninmys sent them alter water,
he saddled up Akillcs, a very spirited
young mule his Grandaddy once
owned, and started and met Betsy, as
wc seed iu a prcccdin clause. Well,
to make a long matter short, Betsy
got well, and she and Jems are to be
marrid next fall, fore years from to
day, at half pass eleven o’clock at
night.
This story is too true. Perhaps
some of my readers may kuow Betsy
and Jems. If they do, they know
more about it than I do.
My objeck in ritiu this, is to tell a
true story, and also, to interjiicc to
the publik a more consiscr stile of
ritin stories. The ole stile is too
long, and ought to play out. If I
akkomplish my objeck, I’m satisilde,
aud more too, and feel that I am a
publiek. Bennie F actek.
P. S. I have a patent rite for man
afactring storys nrter this stile. I
have them dun up in any lengths,
shapes or sizes, to suit any white man
or nigger either, and if this suhjeck
dont suit, I will give you wun on an
other—or any other man. B. F.
A Marvelous Youth in Florida.
—Tiie Key West Dispatch, relates the
following of a youthful magician in
that city:
For the benefit of the outside world,
wc have put on record the fact that in
our island city there lives a youth
who, in himself, is one amongst the
great phenomena of the age. Listen,
nnd be the judge yourself, lie can
handle snakes, scorpions, centipedes
or what not, with perfect impunity.
He makes pets and playfellows of the
larger kind of rattlesnakes, twisting
them around him and dallying with
their forked tongues and their ten or
twelve rattles! lie actually lias car
ried scorpions in his bosom, and
wasps and hornets in his sleeves and
pockets, without receiving a bite or
sting. In tlie loneliness of the grovo
or forest, or in any secluded place in
fested with snakes, lie can, by a few
tnlisnianic words, call around liim any
number of snakes, whom he can charm
into perfect obedience to all his man
dates. He can pick them up and lay
them down at any given place, and at
his bidding they will remain there
until lie returns, after an absence
sometimes if hours.
He can take a rat, or a mouse, and
so manipulate it—so put that inexpli
cable tyrant spell upon it—that it at
once becomes a mute suppliant for
favor, is quicsecnt, and may be tum
bled about at pleasure. The young
magician avers that this miraculous
power is given him by spirits—w heth
er good or evil, he knows not.
Wc could relate many incidents in
this connection illustrative of our little
friend’s nccromatic faculty of subdu
ing the reptile creation; but the fore
going must suffice.
The Wonderful Silver Sp%inu in
Florida. The Key West Dispatch
says this grand and natural curiosity
bursts forth in the midst of the most
fertile country in Hie State. It hub
bies up in a basin near 100 feet deep,
and about an acre in exteut, and send
ing from it a deep stream (JO to 100
feet wide and extending six or eight
miles to tlie Ocklawaha river. In the
spring itself, fifty boats may lie at
anchor—quite a fleet. The spring
thus forms n natural inland port, to
which three steamers now run regular
from the St. Johns, making close con
nections with the oeorn steamers at
Palntka.
Tlie clearness of the water is triily
wonderful. It seems even more trans
parent than air; you see on the bot
tom, 80 feet below, tlie bottom of
your boat, the exact form of the
smallest pebble, the outline and color
and shades of color of the leaf that
has sunk, and all the prismatic colors
of the rainbow are reflected. Large
fish swim in it, every scale visible and
every movement distinctly seen. If
you go over the spring in a boat you
will sec the fissures in the rocks, from
which the river pours upward like an
inverted cataract.

GEORGIA STATE AGRIC’I’L
TL’RAL MX IETY.
To all Whom It limy Concern:
Atlanta, Ga., April 2G, 1870.
The office of Secretary of the Geor
gia State Agricultural Society having
become vacant by the resignation of
the late incumbent, I hereby, by vir
tue of the power invested iu me, as tlie
President of the Society, issue this
notice, that on Wednesday, the 22d
June next, an election will be held iu
this citv, to fill the vacancy. All
members, as well as those wiio may
become members by the payment of
two dollars for the card which enti
tles them to all the privileges of Mem
bership, for tlie year 1870, and to
access to the Fair Grounds, ami the
prirtitiffc «f exhibiting articles for
premium, without further charge, will
be entitled to vote. Members who
live at a distance can vote by proxy
or by endorsing their ballots to tbe
President. Tlie order, and mode, and
place of holding the election, will be
published iu the newspapers of tlie
city, on the morning of the election.
Persons wishing to become candidates
must make it known in such tunc and
manner ns they deem proper.
The President sought to obviate
the expense aud inconvenience to
members and the necessity of holding
this election at a season so important
to planters, by addressing a letter to
those gentlemen who were supposed
to be legal members of the society—
giving them the names of the gentle
men who were candidates, and asking
them to communicate to them by let
ter their choice, intending, when all
tlie votes were received, to open them
in tlie presence of Mr. E. C, Rawson,
the resident member of the Executive
Committee, and the Assistant Secre
tary, and announce the result. When
the time had nearly arrived when
these votes were to be opened aud
counted, a communication was re
ceived from a number of gentlemen,
who, perhaps, had been members for
a previous year, but who were not
members by the payment of the initia
tion fee, $2, claiming tlie privilege of
voting, and declaring tiiat if not per
mitted to vote by paying now tlie $2
fee, tliej’ would contest the election as
illegal, and resist the payment of the
salary of any Secretary elected with
out their votes being counted, as ille
gal. Pending the time between the
determination to hold the election in
the manner first proposed and the
counting of the votes, many gentle
men had called on me to know if per
sons who paid now and became mem
bers could vote in this election. I
decided, and so informed them, that
it was not lawful or right for persons,
after tlie polls were opened and the
election in progress, who were hereto
fore so indilerent to the interests of
the Society, as not to become mem
bers, now, in the eleventh hour, to
take advantage of locality and prox
imity to the scene, and come in, nnd,
by menus and numbers, carry an im
portant election over tlie heads of
those few legal members who, merely
through motives of pure and unselfish
interest in the cause of Agriculture,
renewed their membership, and thus
gave their names and means to the
society. This ruling was in accor
dance with the plain law of tlie Soci
ety. I have not modified it, that the
payment of $25 created a family life
membership; SlO an individual life
membership, and $2 membership for
the year only in which it was made,
tlie year expiring with tlie dose
of the first Annual Fair thereafter.
1 am conscious of rectitude and no
personal interest in this matter. Ever
anxious in my administration of the
business of the Society, to be legal
and ju»t, and to extend tlie influence
of the Society, and to produce the
greatest harmony, 1 have concluded
to yield to the views of the gentlemen
whose interest in behalf of one of the
candidates induced them to make the
protest referred to, though in justice
to the motives of the gentlemen refer
red to, I must express my belief that
they made tbe threat to attack the
validity of the election proposed to be
held iti ignorance of tbe rules of the
Society.
iu adopting the course now laid
down in I hope all objec
tions will beiibvigted, and ntn assured
it Will add largely to the membership
as well as to tbe revenue of the Society.
The thanks of the Society arc due,
and hereby tendered to the press of
the State, Tor their liberality in giving
publicity and circulation to the cards
and notices of the Society, and the
favor is asked of the publication us
this notice in all the papers of the
State, it being one of the most impor
tant It has ever issued.
• Cards of membership will lie sent
to all editors nnd publishers who will
publish this notice and send a Copy
of the paper containing the notice to
the Secretary’s olliee.
Cards of membership will lie fur
nislicd each member of the Executive
Committee from whom they may be
obtained by persons wishing to be
come members by the payment of $2.
The Secretary will furnish these
cards to such persons as may apply
directly, by letter or otherwise, to
him for them. Ben. C. Yancey,
President Georgia State Agricultu
ral Society.

Adntntuin <>r Adv< muting.
Among thorough business men the
advantages of judicious advertising
are well known and practiced.
If a mail has got a good tiling—an
article of commerce needed by the
people, and which he wishes to dis
pose of, let him adertisc it by all
means. Don’t think of wniting for
buyers to make the discovery them
selves. Thousands of persons who
would become your customers don’t
know that they are iu want of the ar
ticle until they read your advertise
ment in the mewspapers.
They read and instantly they dis
cover that you have preeisly What they
need, and wonder that they had never
thought of the same thing themselves;
This portion of the American public
nntrtnly your goods, but
whether they ex| ress it or not ver
bally, in their hearts they arc very
grateful to you for having made a
part of your knowledge their property.
The niqcteeuth century is a busy
one—people have little time to think
of anything except their own immedi
ate busiucsss. They want to read
aud learn as they run.
A man is suffering perhaps from
dyspepsia—in his morning paper ho
secs a remedy advertised ; he don’t
pause to debate and argue the point
with the proprietor of that sj»eeific;
but he proceeds to his druggist, buys
and tries.
If he lias obtained a benefit, be is
delighted and recommends the medi
cines to all of his suffering neighbors;
tints tlie advertisement is marched on
with an hundred or thousand-fold ve
locity. The advertising proprietor is
getting rich, because lie has been
wide-awake ; made himself known aud
felt in the community; aud the public
is thankful, for it lias been benefitted.
The journalist is happy—he has been
made tlie channel of communicating
useful knowledge, and at the same
time you have added a few dimes and
dollars to the usually scanty contents
of his purse. For editors, like Meth
odist preachers, are generally poorly
paid.
Some business men will say, ‘I know
advertising is a good thing, but I
can’t afford to advertise.,
Who are the men that have become
millionaiffes in this country? Wliat
their business? Aud how have they
succeeded?
The intelligent masses are familiar
tfitli their names without my catalog
uing them here. They have made their
princely fortunes by eateriug to tbe
wants of tlie public, and l»y con
vincing the public that these wants
existed.
If you cannot advertise your goods
and wares in all of the papers for want
of means, then select certain popular
journals within your means and go
into them. Or fix upon some district
or State, and go into it. Lay aside a
fund every year with which to repeat
the operation in another Stale. This
continue until you have compassed
the entire ground. This is what I
call judicious advertising.
Remember the scriptures, nnd don’t
place your light under a bushel. Cast
your bread upon the wateis. It’ll re
turn.
The press of America is the great
\ medium through which the people
talk to one another. It is the eoinc
and-let-us-rcason-togetlier of the laud
! —tlie salt of our country and lib
i erties.
A business man can no more hope
: to succeed in this age without udver
| Using than he can without eating.
The latter is food for your stomach
—the former to your purse.
There are various channels of ad
vertising—l have trieil them all, and
1 think the newspapers the best. It is
I read and re-read by every member of
j the family; and l»y all of tlie hired
help on Saturday night and Sundays.
Again, thousands of families bind up
their papers into volumes, and years
alter you have ceased paying for the
advertisement it will be giving you a
benefit through tlie wants of tlie chil
dren, grand-children, and great-grand
children.
