Kiss Me Before I Go. My way stretches onward before me, Oat in the rain and the heat, Ainid the world's wild turmoil, Life’s busy duties to meet. Thine by the shaded window, Where the zephyrs gi utly blow. And thou hear'st the birds’ sweet war bling— Then “kiss me before I go.” The days will bring me no greetings Of friends as they come and depart. The ear hear no foot-fall, so welcome, Of those who live in my heart. Knowu aud loved voices will greet thee— Dear ones will cheer thee 1 know, For the sake of these joys I am loosing— Then “kiss me before 1 go." When the heart thrills with joy at the coming Of loved ones, who love in return, And tli >u droppest the tear of sheer gladness, That of sympathy drop for me one. But of what will be brought by the morrow, Thou nor J never can know. It may be for a farewell token, then To “kiss me before I go." Apkrcu. Lawrenceville, Ga., June 5, 1872. A Georgia Steam Traction Wagon. Col. W. C. Binb has obtained a patent for one of these new velii ; cles, designed to supersede to a ! great degree the use of animal power, in the cultivation of the soil and the transportation of heavy loads over our ordinary wagi u roads. Uis invention has been subjected to the proper tests in New York, and pronounced a perfect success. One ol these | steam vehicles, is in process of I construction at Augusta, and every lover of enterprise and fir, gross will wateh its operation with the deepest ii terest. Our readers may not know that this is no new thing in the old country. No less than three thou sand steam traction wagons are in daily use in England alone.— These bicak up the land to the depth of six or eight •inches, and do the work so nr eh more thor oughly than the farm horse, that the yield of wheat by actual ex periment in land thus prepared exceeded the old method fifty per cent. The steam engine can be used'also to thresh grain, gin Cot ton, grind corn, anil haul the pro duce of the farm to market, or may be employed to transport pas sengers in lieu of the stage coach. The fault with all American machines hitherto has been their great weight, amounting to thirty thousand pounds. But the Eng lish vehicle weighs but seven thousand pounds, and the. cost ol breaking an acre of fallow ground is only about eight shillings. It is estimated that half ot the cus tomary animal team on a farm can be dispensed* with by this steam vehicle. Dr. Bibb’s invention, if it suc ceeds as it promises to do, will be followed by a rapid multiplication of these vehicles, which are des tined to work a great revolution in the cost of agriculture. A great desideratum in view of the decreas ing labor of the country. V\ f e hope ere long to be able to chron icle the triumphant success of this ingenious implement of industry and Georgia talent'— Macon Tel. — WIIAT THE CoiORKD BoYH TIIINK About Mixed Schools. —Thursday, a small white boy was sent with a message to a person attending the examination of colored schools in the Cook building, on 0 street, and when entering the yard he was taken to be an applicant for admis sion by the crowd of colored youths about the door. The boy explained that he was white, al though he had a dirt}' face, and delivered his message, and on leaving the building with a small slip of paper in his hand, which was taken for a ticket of admis sion, one of the largest boys step ped up, exclaiming, “YVe don’t want any white boys in this school” and gave him a kick under the jaw, and tne hoy, thinking that there was no chance for him if he stood his ground, retreated on a double quick, amid a shower of stones.— Wushinr/ton Star. Gen. Roger A Pryor, a Gonfedcr ate General during our late war, and a resident of New York since, asserts that August Belmont’s opposition to the ratification of the Cincinnati i nominations grows out of the fact that Mr. Belmont belongs to the “Syndicate,” lias large dealings with the Treasury Department, is on the best (financial) terms with the Ad* ministration, and secretly wants such action at Baltimore as will secure , Grant's re election. Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, June 12, 1872. | For the Gwinnett Herald. PEN AM) INK SKETCHES. Dr. James 31. Gordon. The subject of this sketch, the ! son of Few Gordon, was born in I Gwinnett county, on the 21st da,’ |of April, 1821. After receiving | the rudiments of an education at such schools as the country, at that time, afforded, lie was sent to the academy in Monroe, Walton county, Ga., where he applied him self diligently to his studies, and acquired a good English and a partial classical education. Soou after leaving school, ho began the study of medicine under Dr. .Win. J. Russell, of Lavvrencevdlc, and graduated at the Medical college of Augusta. After receiving his medical degree, lie began the practice in partnership with his preceptor, Dr. Russell, and after the dissolution of this partnership, continued the practice with great success until Ids removal to Sa vannah, in 1854 Dr. Gordon’s rise in his profes sion was rapid, and, in a short time, his practice was not only extensive tmt lucrative. On the 24th December, 184.'), lie was mar ried, in the Presbyterian church in Lawrenceville, by the Rev. James C Patterson, to Miss Elizabeth A. Alexander, daughter of Dr. Thus W. Alexander. From this union sprang four children,three of whom are still living, the eldest boy, Albert A. Gordon, having at an early and lender age entered the service of his country, dining the late war, to defend the land that gave him birth, and died in a hos pital, in Mobile, Ala, February 5, 1805, and his mortal remains now (iil a soldier’s grave. Dr. Gordon continued in the practice of his profession, in his native county, until the spring of 1854, when, w'shingto enlarge his Sphere of usefulness, and liud a m >re extended field in which to win distinction in his chosen pro fession, removed to Ssvannali and entered into the drug business with Mr. James 11. Carter, a prom incut and popular druggist in that city, lb-, however, devoted his own time and attention to I'm practice of his profession, and in a very short time had taken posi timi among the foremost physicians in that city. But now when his prospects seemed brightest, and his li -pcs and aspirations so fondly cherished for years, were about to be realized, the Destroyer catne. That fell Demon, yellow fever, which, like a dark cloud, had been hovering over the devoted city, burst forth in all its fury, and sorrow and distress, sickness and death followed in its wake. Long will the citizens of Savannah re member the dark days of the fall of 1854. The city was draped in mourning. All who could left their business and fled for their lives. Many of the physicians even left their posts of danger and inglo riously fled. There were scarcely enough, who were well, to attend to the sick or bury the dead. Dr. Gordon, shortly after the epidemic made its appearance, sent his fam ily away, but remained himself at his post to aid, with all the medi cal skill he possessed, in relieving the sufferers. The constant and earnest importunities and expostu lations of his friends he heeded not. Although he had been but a few months among that people, he felt that it was cowardly and dishon orable to leave them to their fate. In one of the letters written to his wife, in which he gives a most glooiny f and appalling picture of the condition of the people, occurs tois noble and self-sacrificing lan guage, w hich deserves to go down, side by side, with the dying senti ments of the pat' iots and heroes' of antiquity : “I have finally con cluded to remain, and am devot ing iny whole time and euergies to the iclief of the sufferers. — Should 1 fall in the epidemic, my friends will, at least, have the gratification to know that 1 fell in the discharge of my duty."— Thus laboring day and night, with out taking time to sleep or scarce ly to eat, lie continued until the epidemic had considerably abated, and the dark cloud had begun to show its silver lining, when sud denly he himself was stricken down. He was kindly and ten derly nursed during the five days of his illness, by many friends, conspicuously among whom was his brother-in law, VV. \V. Alexan der, of Augusta, Ga., who was with him during the entire period of his sickness But he felt that |,is time had come from the first, “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” and in the language of one who was very near and dear to him : “He was perfectly conscious to the last moment —calmly made his ar rangements to cross the dark river, giving such directions as to the disposition of his mortal remains and kindred matters as were con sonant with his views, aud then sweetly fell asleep.” [ Mr. Win. King, a gentleman of great wealth and as great benevo lence,who was his constant attend ant during his illness, had him buried in his yard so that his grave might not be lost, as was frequent ly the case during those trying times. After the epidemic had ceased, his remains were buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery, where a beautiful monument was erected to his memory, bearing the follow ing - inscription : "To the Memory of Hr. James M. Gordon, who died of yellow fever, in this City, Sept. 18, 1854 “Resolute in bis devotion to the call of humanity, lie shrank not even from the pestilence, but fell himself a martyr amidst those he sought to sure.” The celebrated Dr. Wild man, formerly so well known to the people of this county, also fell in the epidemic, and it is not even known where he was buried. Dr. Gordon died at the ago of thirty-three, before he had scarcely reached the meridian of his days and usefulness, but he lived long enough to make for himself a rep utation commensurate with the State. After his death, letters ol condolence, tributes of respect, and public testimonials of every kind eaine pouring in to his family from every quarter, showing the high estimation in which he was held throughout the State. Devotion to truth, fidelity to his fi tends, and a sovereign contempt for anything that *a* mean or dishonorable, were the most sal it*nt points in his character, lie was ambit ous tor distinction in his profession, but he sought that distinction not by decrying un lit in others, bin by exhibiting it in himself. lie was a most indefati gable student all his life, and when not professionally engag d would frequently sit up nut I a late hour at night in reading and study. In this tie set an example worthy of the imitation of many of our doctors of this day, who deem their education cmiplele when they receive their diploma. Dr. Gordon, 1 ik <■ most of his family, was of an ardent and impetuous disposition—quick to resent an insult or an indignity, and as ready to extend the hand of for giveness and reconciliation when ever the olive branch was held foith. Although never indulging iu dissipation of guy kind, lie was eminently social in his diposition, full of animal spirits, and was a most pleasant and agreeable com panion. He was an advocate of cdttca- tion and a patron of learning.— He was one of the founders of the Atlanta Medical College, and was elected to one of its Profes sorships, a position which he saw fit, however, to decline. He was one of the projectors of the Law renceville Manufacturing Go., and lost heavily by it when it failed. Firm and unyielding in his con victions of what was right and honorable; steadfast i.i his devo tion to principles; coiistaut and faithful in his friendship, lie went dowfi to his grave a martyr to the effuse of humanity, leaving as many warmly devoted friends and as few enemies as any man occu pying his position in our county. For a series of years he was the intimate friend of the writer, and his family physician, I knew him well, and he had my confidence as a man of integrity —of high attain ments —literary as well as socially and professionally. I have read many of the productions of his pen, which gave evidence of fine acquirements and splendid abili j ties; and had he lived he would hare become one of the first men iu the j State. He never sought office, but was ' chosen one of the County Court and discharged its duty with fidel I | ity and ability for four years. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity, and was a Craftsman | “good and true,’’ of whom his, brethren were projul to be associ ated with, “within tho temple and without.” In his death the “Mys-; tic Chain” was broken and one of its links gone that can never be replaced ! He was a genial companion full of life and full of.hopc. His merry, pealing laugh, as it used to well up in the social circle, falls on my ear still, in imagination, with its enlivening, timpirimj tones never to lie forgotten ! And what more can I say of I)r. Gordon ! This feeble tribute to his memory is but a poor, yet sincere offering from his old friend. Not halt lias been s iid in com irendation of him that might be said. His old oouily was proud of him while he lived, and is still proud of his memory now lie is dead; and in speaking of her na tive born sons that Was reared on her soil and went out to do her honor, not one of all the number is spoken of with more pride and satisfaction than Dr. James M. Gordon. \V. Death oftlic Author of “Beau tiful Suou.” A few years ago there appeared in an American paper published in one of the Western States an exquisite poetli entitled “Beautiful Snow.”— she beauty of the composition se cured its re-publication in numerous journals, and at length found its way to England, accompanied by the tale that, the original had been discovered upon the person of a young woman who was frozen to death in tne streets of St. Louis For a long time the au thor preserved his “incognito," while numerous claimants sought to estab lish their lights to its authorship and the honors spncitabling theieto. Some one who knew the true history of the poem, knew also the cause of its reticence in 'giving its name t/> the world. Some months since 11|« secret was revealed, and Sigourney, nephew of the celebrate ! poetess ol that name, became known as the writer. Harper’s Magazine publis' ed a companion poem entitled “Beauti ful 01 bid," which is niaiked by all the elegance of diction and deep religious characteristic of its prede cessor. Who could have thought I hat in a few weeks its gifted author would fill a suicide’s grave? Yet such is the case. On the night of April 221, W. A. 11. Sigourney was found dead in the outskirts of New York, under circumstances leading to the belief that lie had shot him self He had in early life married a Miss , a lady of great personal attraction*, and with her made a voyage to Europe. During their absence, rumors unfavorable to her character reached the Sigourney fam ily. The reports seem to have been well founded, for shortly after her return to New York she showed that the curse of the nineteenth century — the demon drink —had added anoth er name to the list of victims. She abandonoJ her husband, become an outcast, and was next. heard of as an inmate of the penitentiary oa Blackwell’* Island. Her husband’s love was sliil sufficiently strong to induce him to make an efiort to save fiat, and through his influence she was released, only again to desert her homo. In the winter of ISG3 the papers spoke of a young and beautiful wo moti having been found dead under the snow in a d sreputable street of New York. Something seemed to tell Sigourney that 'lie body was that of his wife. Upon making inqui ries he found his surmises were hut too true, and after claiming the re mains he had them interred in the “silent city" which overlooks the busy harbor of New York. The story of that erring wife was told in the touching language of “Beautiful Snow.” What wonder that he shunned the publicity that its au thorship would have conferied! lieu rv J. Raymond, the editor of the New York Times, was for years the friend <>f Major Sigourney, and ob tained for him employment as a journalist which failing health com pelled him to abandon. Circum stances connected with his death re main a mystery. Not even his child, for whom lie always displayed the tenderest affection, can throw any light upon it. The last effort of his genius is displayed in the poem al ready referred to : BEAUTIFUL CHILD. “Beautiful child, by tliy mother’s knee, in the mystic future, what wilt thou be? A d< •mon of sin or an angel sublime— A poison Upas or innocent thyme— A spirit of evil flashing down With the lurid light of a fiery crown— Or gliding up with a shining track. Like the morning star that ne'er looks back. Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled, j Which will thou be, my beautiful child ? Beautiful child, in my garden bowers. Friend of the butterfly, bird* and flowers— Pure as the sparkling, cbrystal stream. Jewels of truili tbr fairy eyes l»cani. [|2 A YEAR, TN ADVANCE. Was there ever a whiter soul than thine Worshipped by love in a mortal shrine? My heart thou hast glutkk-ned lor two long years, With rainbow of hope thro' mists of tears; Mists beyond which the sunny, smile With its huloofgloiy beams all the while. Beautiful child, to thv look is given A gleam serene, not of earth but heaven; With thy tell tale eyes and prattling tongue • Would th'>u could st evei thu- be young— Like the liquid strains of the mocking bird From -fair to ha'l thy voice is heard, How ofien in the garden nooks thou'll found, With flowers thy curly h ad around, And kneeling beside me with figure so quaint, Oh 1 who would not dote oo my infant saint ? Beautiful child, wlmt thy fate shall Ist Feicluiuce is wisely hidden Iron* me ; A laticn star thou may's! leave my side And of sorrow and shame become the bride, Shivering, quivering thro' the cold street, Wiih a curse behitd and before thy feet, Ashamed to live and uiruid to die— No born;*, no friend, and a pitiless sky. Mercilul Father—niv bruin goes wild Oil! keep from evil my beautiful child. Beautiful child may'st thou soar above; A warbling cherub of joy aud love ; A drop on my eternity's sea ; A blossom on life's immortal tree — Floating, flowing evermore, In the blessed light of the golden shore, Ami as 1 gaze on sinless bloom And lby radiant face, they dispel my gloom, Y feel He will keep thee undelilcd, I\nd bis love protect my beautiful child.” Wendell Phillips on the Ilom l>age —Another Aiuly John son—A Horrible Secession Plot. Wendell Phillips has written the following letter to 8. P. Cummings, a labor reform politician, on the political situation. It is charuo teristic : You know that I am neither n Republican nor a Grant man.— S Whom l shu'l vote for, or whether I shall vote at all, I do not know. But certainly as against Greeley I am for Grant. Wo have had one Andy Johnson ; 1 will not run the risk in getting another in Horace Greeley. 1 want a man with some decided principles. Greeley never had any. Besides, I consider Gree ley a secession candidate. I be lieve the plot to nominate him was hatched by Southern white rebels more than a year ago, and has been mainly nursed by them. 1 advise any one who means to vote for him to find out first what agreements have been made by Mr. Greeley’s friends with Jett' Davis and his staff as to office and patronage. lam perfectly certain that there is a distinct mutual un derstanding. if not a positive con tract between them. If Horace Greeley enters the White liousc, Jeff Davis will be as truly part of the administration as Seward was in Lincoln’s day. No negro can vote for Greeley who values his life or property or cares for his race. If, by a frown of Providence, lie is elected 1 shall advise every South ern loyalist to load the revolvers that Grant’s arrest of North Car olina Ku-Kltix has ullowcd to be laid aside. If ho is elected, let the negroes live in squads of fifty, whom no coward will dare shoot down, and show no property afier sunset. Lonely men will be shot atnl no black will own a mule for ty-eight hours if any rebel knows the fact. As for Adams, I do not fear him —an aristocrat by birth and a Democrat by perverseness —the love of money makes such a union possible. He is a Democrat, blit afraid to confess its creed or wear its uniform. If any party allows him to lead it lie will lead it to its grave, ns all the Adamses have always done. Old John Adams’s vanity, bigotry, and hate of Ham ilton, put the Federal party into its tomb. John Quincy Adams’s administration was the death-blow j of the Whig party, then called Re publicans. I lie light which gilds the Adamses is that of sunset. — | They insure defeat. Chatham said Sir. William Young’s voice was the death knell of his country.— The breath of an Adams’s fame has the chill of the charnel-honse in it. Let them nurse their money bag* like timid misers, and allow bolder and unselfish men, whose foreheads are lit by the rising sun, to help the world forward, undis turbed by their greedy ambition or their querulous crotchets. For a loyal administration to protect the negro, awe the rebel, and give the working-man a chance, Grant’s little linger is worth a baker's dozen of Greeleyß. Yours, W i;xi»ki.i. Phtu res.

Governor Grimes had arrived the night hefote and taken rooms at a certain hotel —at lea«t so a voting aspirant for office from a distant jiortion of the State ascertained as lie drove up anil alighted from a catriagc at the st**ps of that public house. The hostler thtew out his trunk and the landlord conducted him to his room, leaving the trunk iu the bar-room. Wishing his trunk, the young man demanded to have it brought up, and seeing a plainly-dressed man passing through the lower hall whom he took to lie a porter, he gave his commands in an imperious, lofty tone, lhe order wasohnred; and tile man charging a quarter of a dol nr for his services, a marked quarter or old-fashioned pistaiecti, worth only about twenty cents, was slipped slyly illto his hand, aud was put into his pocket In the man with a smile. “And now, siri»h," said the new arrival, “do yon ki oiv Gov. Giimes?” “Oil, yes. sir.” "Well, take my card to him and tell him I wish an interview at his earliest convenience ” “l am Gov. Grimes, at your ser vice !” “You—l—that is, my dear sir—l beg—a—a thousand pardons!” “None needed at all, sir,” replied the Governor, “I was rather favora bly impressed with your letter, and thought you well suited for theoffire specified. But, sir, anv man who would swindle a working man out of a paltry five cents would defraud the public, treasury had he an oppoi Ut ility. Good morning, sir ! ’ Of “treating” T. K. Beecher says ; “Now, hoys, if you wish to he gen erou* and treat each other, why not select some other shop besides the liquor shop? Suppose, ns yon go by the post office, you sav, ‘Come. Uiys, como in and take some.stamp*.’ These stamps will do your friends a real good, and will cost you ro more than drinks all round. Or go by the tailor’s store and say. ‘Boys, como iu aud tako h box of collars.’ Walk up to the counter, free and generous, and sav, ‘What style will you have? Why not front to collars as well as treat to drink l ? or go by a confect* tiooer’s and propose to treat to clio colate drops all around ? or say, I'll stand a jack knife all round?’” The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness; to your opponent I tolerance; to a friend, your heart ; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to tour mother cendin-t that wifi make her glad ; to yourself, respect; to nil men, charity; j to God, ohudieix e.

' “Y >ur die**" said a husband to his fashionable wife, “will never plen-e the men." “I don’t dress to plen-e men,” was the reply, “but to worry other women.” An Irishman, who was recently run over by a whole train of cars, got up and a-kod for hi* cap, and said he “would not run another such risk a* that for tin dollar*.” A young gentleman who Inul jnu married a little beauty say#: “She would have been taller, but she is made of such precious materials that nature couldn’t afford it.’’ “Aro you the mate of the ship t" asked an emigrant of the cook, who was an Irishman. “No, sir,” was the rcplv ; “I'm the man who cook* the mate."
