he “was but the leader of a band of
patriotic soldiers all equally devoted
to the defence,” <eto», and were all

great commander whose recent death
has awakened such deep feelings of
sorrow all over our unfortunate coun
try.”
The Fashions Oi:y West. —An
Eastern girl going out West on a vis
it to her sister, fitted herself out in
all the extremes of the Atlantic
modes. The Sunday after she reached
the prairie village she mude up for
church with a mite of a hat, extreme
ly bouffant skirts, and nn overdone
Grecian bend. On her way there she
met an liislunnn, who had not been
to the States for some years. He
slopped a moment and looked at her,
then exclaiming, “By, Gorry, It’s a
shame for Mrs. to send her crazy
sister out without a bonnet, and she
a hnmp-bnck, too! Here, honey,
you shall have my hat”—lie dapped

Railroad Banquet. —Wc find in
the Macon papers of last week glow
ing accounts of the Railroad Banquet
given by President Hazlehurst of the
M. & B. R, K. to “his Augusta guests,
and brother railroad magnates” at
the Brown House in Macon recently.
It is pronounced to have been a pecu

The Gainsville Eagle says: There
are three apple trees on the farm of
John M. Matthews, Esq’, near
Danielsville, Madis in county, Ga.,

second 10 feet 4 inches. They were
planted by Mr. James Ware, a Rev

close of that war.

Four lliindred Dollars a Year.
• BY MAUDE.
“ Well, I do declare, Lucy 1 I am
all flashed Wfth the news your moth
er has just told me. I always took
you lor a sensible girl, tout if what I
hear is tr*e,l must set you do n for
a born idiot,” and dear old Aunt
Agnes fanned herself vigorously to
regain her breath.
Lucy bent hes curiy head lower
over her sewing and plied her needle
with renewed energy, for well she
knew the cause of the old lady’s ex
citement, but, woman like, she chose
to feign ignorance.
“ Yon seem disturbed by yohr
news, dear Aunt Agnes, and judg
ing by your complimentary expres
sions just now, not over well pleased
with me—for what, I cannot think.’’
“No, I am not at all pleased with
you, and what wonder. Here you
are, a girl brought up accustomed to
have every whim (and the Lord
knows they are as numerous as black
berries) gratified, not even knowing
how to knit a sock or make a loaf of
bread ; here you arc, I say, going to
marry a mm with a salary of four hun
dred dollars a year, and not two suits
of clothes to his back, I warrant you ;
and the good lady took offbcrspccta.
cles, wiped them carefully,and placing
llicm on her nose again, gazed wist
fully at her pretty little willful niece,
who still sat quietly sewing. 'When the
allusion to her lover’s povperty was
made, however, a hat flush rose to
her brow, and her woman’s pride and
faith in the object of her love gave
her confidence to plead her came
with earnestness and fervent tender
ness.
“Ah! Aunt Agnes, are wc, poor
girls, not often v arned, not only in
books and newspapers, hut from the
sacred channel itself, against giving
our hands where our heaitsare not,
and oftener still are wo not ndmon.
ished from the same sacred place, not
to let thoughts of riches or worldly
advantages influence us in our choice
for lile ? Let ine plead with you for
dear Henry’s sake not to oppose our
marriage. Mamma has consented;
w iy si ould you scSk to make us un
happy wlieu we love O.ie another so ?
You have known him from boyhood,
and you cannot point out a sing’e
fault that ho has.
Tears came into Aunt Agnes' aged
eyes as she listened to the earnest
pleading of her favorite, hut her
mission was not fulfilled. She would
try every argument to save her tender
nursling from the gulf of poverty, to
wards which she was tending.
“Yes dear, I have known him from
Ins boyhood, and I love him as
iny own child, but you are mistaken
ns to Ids not having a single fault.
He has one, and a serious one it will
prove to both of you.”
“Oh, Aunt Agnes! you yourself
have always held Henry up as an ex
ception among men, and now, when
my heart is forever lost to him, you
accuse him of a serious fault. Won’t
you tell me what it is?” And the
fair girl rose and stood in an attitude
of earnest entreaty before her aged
relative.
“ Child,” said Aunt Agnes, taking
the cold, trembling little hands in her
own, drawing the sunny head down
to rest upon her faithful breast, “we
have all been much to blame; wc
have presented Henry to your young
mind in every position favorable to
love, and as wo only natural, you love
him, aud are determined on marrying
him.”
“ Yes, if I live, so help me God,”
said Lucy fervently.
“ The fault that I hare alluded to
isthis: Henry is poor, and if he
marries now will always be poor.
His salary barely spports him de
cently, certainly not as lie wishea to
live and dress, and yet he has not en
ergy of character enough to strike
out into anew field of labor. How
will he support you ?”
“ Dear Aunt, he loves me and I
love him so devotedly that we will
never be happy apart.”
“ Nor together, I fear,” said Aunt
Agnes, her face growing graver every
moment. “He loves you; and yet
loving you he would drag you down
to the moat abject poverty, yon
who are eo little fitted by nature and
education to be a poor man’s wife. I
do not ask you to give Henry up al
together, but wait, even if it be for
years. Better love on forever unwed
ded than enter into a condition of
such hopeless poverty.”
11 But Aunt, dear, what is that one
fault?”
“I have just mcttttowel It. nc
knows that he cannot keep you as
your father kept you before his death,
and as your mother has managed, at
a great sacrifice to herself, to keep you
since, and yet he would marry you
and take you from vour home of ease
and plenty> to one of labor and want.
Ifyow will marry him now, these little
bands will have to perform the
meanest houshold drudgery such os
they have no knowledge of now.”
n I have pledged him my faith, and
he trusts me,” said the girl, her face
aglow with a glad triumph—triumph
that she was thus enabled to prove
the strength and sincerity of love for
her betrothed by u sacrifice so great.
She never dreamed, poor girl, that,
in wedding him she would destroy
him as well as herself. And they
were married. For the first few
months, time flew by on rosy wings,
and the fair young wife was more
than happy.
But then came a time when all this
was changed. A little cloud no big
ger than a man’s hand began to ob-
Bcurc the brightness of their sky.—
Dear Aunt Aglies was gathered home
and the little gills from her kindly
hand were sadly missed ill the strait
ened household.
The many little deprivations of ac
tual necessaries to which Lucy was
compelled to submit, at length began
to wear upon her hi'hcrto sweet and
gentle temper.
And Henry Thornton, too, was
changed, and gloomy taciturnity
replaced the joyous manner thnt had
served lo render him captivating in
the days gone by forever. Sickness
fell upon them, and bitter poverty
stared at them with eager, hungry
eyes, and discontent stalked boldly
into their humble dwelling.
“ Henry was selfish ever to have
wooed me,” solihcd the dejected, over
burdened wife, as she laid her aching
head upon her mother’s shoulder.—
“ Aunt Agnes tried to convince us
that wc were too poor to marry, but
wc would not listen t > her. 0, that I
had heeded her dear voice I”
“ Hang it! A man had just as well
be put in the galleys at once ns get
married. What docs a woman do
with all the money a man makes, I'd
like to know ?” muttered the amiable
husband one morning, in answer to a
piteous appeal for “only a dollar to
buy little baby a pair of shoes.”
One after another, little wailing,
pale-faced babes came into the world
to share their parents' poverty and in
crease their mother's toils.
The pretty little delicate white
hands, that the lover was once bo
fond of caressing, could not now be
traced in coarse, discolored, knotty
little objects that now never Imd leis
ure to perform one office of love for
the oil times wearied aud disheart
ened husband.
But the same merciful Father, who
carcth even for a sparrow’s fall was
watching over the sorely tried wife
and mottur, and when the burden
became so heavy that even her patient
spirit grew faint, He gathered her to
his bosom, and the frail little babies
never were to know a mother’s gentle
care and guidance.
Yes, the once beautiful and tender
form lay cold and calm in death’s
kindly embrace—kindly to her, for it
gave her what she had long ceased to
know on earth, rest for the worn out
body.
Fold the little toil-stained hands
over the peaceful breast, aud give
her into her Father’s keeping.
Holy angels 1 guard the desolate
home, and our gentle mother! mother
in Heaven 1 forever hover near the
helpless babes and the wretched,
stricken father.

There is no death ! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death ! The dust wa tread
Shall change beneath the summer show

To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Ur rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless sir.
There is no death ! The leaves may fall,
_ The (lowers may fade and pass aw ay ;
They only w ait through wintry hours,
The coming of the Mny.
There is no death I An angd form

And then we cull (Item "dead.”
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our liiircst, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
-Maks glad these sccues of sin and strife,
.Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of lifo.
And where lie gees a smile too bright, ’

He hears it to that world of light,
To dwell in l’aradise.
Born unto that undying life,

With joy w c welcome them—the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread ;
For all the boundless Luiverse

Transfusion of blood from a lamb
to a man was iierformed in Wilming
ton, N. <!., last Friday. The sul»-
jeet, was a colored man. an inmate of
the city hospital, who has lieeli suf
fering for sometime past, and who
has lately seemed in danger of death
from mere exhaustion. When laid
upon the table he was too weak lo
talk, and appeared to have but a lew
hours of life left to him. When his
vein was opened but one drop of
blood tell from it. The carotid ar
tery of the lamb was o|h-i:«-<I, and
the blood was forced from thetiue,
by the palpitation of the animal's
heart, through a small g'nss tula- into
the patient’s cephalic vein. In this
way about eight ounces of blood was
conveyed from the luiiih to the man.
The operation was entirely salifad
tory in its results, and the patient is
now doing very well.
