WEARY OF RIFE. •
“I am become miserable, and lyti bowed
twn even to the end; I go sorrowfufijr
the dayjlong."—Psalms, iin, v. 6.
Weary of life andweary of sin,
The ceaseless strife and worldly din,
Struggling ever to act a part,
Veiling my soul and shrouding my heart,
Hating the world and longing to be
Alone, at rest, untrammelled and iree;
Struggling ever in endless strife—
dFatlier in Heaven, I’m'weary of life.
weary of life that once was fair, *
pThat precious join, tljat jewel rur^
T.ife, with its changing, junny hours,
Its golden smiles and health of flowers;
Lile of my infant, childish years,w
With its rippling smiles and sparkling
tears ;
Years that knew naught of anger or
strife—
Father in Heaven, I’m weary of life.
Weary of life that once was so bright,
V ith its rainbowjiues of dazzling.Jight,
The light of my girlhood’s earlyflays,
With the gorgeous glare fcf its. noonday
blaze, »
Ah! deeming my lift but one endless
day.
Nor counting the hours thaw|jassed away;
Hours with joy and pleasure once rife—-
Yet, Father in Heaven, I’m weary of life.
Weary of life, its sin and its crime,
Its poisoned breath.and its noisome slime.
Oh,sin! oh, crime! how bitter to taste
The tempting fruit of the desert waste!
That fruit so fair and br;ght to the eye
On the lips will fade, and in ashes die,
Filling the heart with woe and strife
Till, Father in Heaven, we weary of life.
Weary of life that has grown so dark,
Pining away in this prisoned ark;
Weary, dear Lord, as the captive dove,
Longing to soar to the light above,
Seeking some spot where iny foot may
rest
From the deluge of sin in the hnman
breast,
Battling ever in care and strife—
Father in Heaven, I'm weary of life.
Weary of life, shall one so lost,
So tempest driven, so wildly toss’d,
Dare to weep as a Magdalen wept,
When in lowly sorrow, a sinner she crept,
And knelt at Thy feet in tears and sighs,
And sought lint a glance from Th v sacred
eyes,
The glance that dispell’d all sin and strife.
Winn her heart was weary and sick of
life.
Weary of life, but ah ! in Thy love
i look for a truer life above,
That life that fades not nor passes away,
The dawning sun of eternal day,
The mo riing that,breaks o’er the tempest
wa .e.
And shines through the gloom of the
yawning grave,
Cheering us on through woe and strife,
With the lasting joys of a brighter life.
Weary of life, and weary of sin.
This worldly strife and worldly din,
Looking in hope lor the promised land,
Watching the veil on its golden strand.
Watghing that veil so misty and bright,
Shrouding its shores from my yearning
sight; „
Watching the Hand that shall send it
away.
Giving me life and endless day.
Aukib Kkei.y,
Authoress of “Beautiful Snow.”
C 01. Lamar, the editor of the Sa
vannah Advertiser, in a late Atlanta
letter, gossips as follows :
The repudiated bonds are to be
icsurrected, and there will be a pow
erful and well organized effort made
to reverse the verdict of the late
Legislature on this subject. More
than a week since an agent fully ac
credited left “Frankfort-on the Main.”
He will be reinforced in New York,
and if a million or so spent will give
life again to the nine millions repu
diated the money will be at the coin
maud of those who can control votes.
A parting has occurred at tlie Execu
tive mansion. The private Secretary
of the Governor dwells no more be
neath the same roof with his Excel
leney, but lias taken rooms with
mine host of the Kimball. The wise
acres shake their heads in a knowing
way and ask : “Is this separation of
a domestic character only? “Quien
SabeT The Senatorial* election is
talked of some little, but as yet there
has been nothing more than slight
skirmishing. In Atlanta it is whis
pered that the Governor will be put
in by some gentlemen who think they
can run the State better than he can.
Others speak of taking one of the
strongest candidates out of the race,
with a position on the Supreme
bench. The latest on dit about this
last place is that the Hon. Robert P.
Trippo, of Monroe, lias the promise
of Judge Montgomery’s place,
A Carolina darkey was arrested for
voting too much. When asked, by
tho officer to whom he was consigned
at the barracks, what he had been
doing, he said; “Votin’.” Ihe offi
cer told him lie had a perfect right
to vote —nothing wrong in that.
The negro insisted he had done
“nuthin hut vote”— he had come
from “Karlina” to vote, and when he
had voted only four times they ar
rested him and wouldn’t let bin: vote
“no more.”

The tuiminalion of Mr. Greelev
was a very unfortunate one; but his
worst are t{ound to admit
that lie manfully in the
canvass. In\supporting him the
Southern rats gave the North
the highest assurance of their desire
to conciliate a peace with that sec
tion, and of their anxiety for the res
toration of law and constitutional
liberty. That this met with no other
response than a more emphatic en
dorsem nt of the repressive policy of
the most vindictive Radicals, is not
our fault , however much we may re
gret it, nor will history set it down
to our dishonor and disgrace.
It only teaches us how deep-seated
is the popular distrust and dislike of
this section, and shows us that even
a large portion of the Northern De
mocracy, when released from the in
fluence of party ties, chose a hard
master for us instead of a Libera! one.
But whatever lessons or influences
may be drawn from tbe result let
Southern men stand shoulder to
shoulder in sympathy and self-defense.
Let the conviction that we have few'

fraternity and union at home. Let
us unite and eo operate to save our
selves from despotism —plunder—rob-

and, if that cannot be, let us sutler

ATennbsses Belle in Itay. — 'i he
Princess Maiguerite admires Miss
Polk very much. She often says,
playfully, if she were a man she
would fall in love with her. On
Monday she talked a great deal with
our beautiful American belle. The
Prince also entered into the conver
sation sometimes, and when he and
the Princess regretted Miss Polk’s
projected visit to America this win
ter, Prince Humbert said, plavfully,
he should issue an order prohibiting
her from leaving the country. As
the Piinees Marguerite admired Miss
Polk's toilette, I must give it among
the rest of my chiffons. The long
flounced skirt and overdress were ol
white mull, with daik blue velvet
sash and bows; a blue velvet jacket,
trimmed with broad white point lace,
hung over her arm ; at her belt was
a morocco chatelaine, set with rock
turquoises and garnets, with enam
eled chains for lan, scent bottle, porte
monnaie, parosol, etc,, each of which
was ornamented in morocco, as the
clialtelaine. She wore a Spanish hat
of blue velvet, with long blue and
white ostrich plumes; her splendid
chestnut hair, whicn is all her own,
was let down in long, rich loops on
her neck.
“How | retty your hair is,” said
the Princes Marguerite, with the nai
vete of a girl. “I wish I had worn
mine so to day. It is always the
most becoming style. But I had it
put up high on account of the fash
ion, and it is not halt so nice.”
The Princess Marguerite also has
beautiful hair of her own, and very
naturally likes to ehow its richness
and length.

EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
Fortunate l>rtig Clerk.
Another of those interesting little
in real life has just come to
’light in Washington. The bon ton
is in ecstacies over it. A dapper
looking apothecary’s clerk has suc
ceeded in marrying a fortune, of
$2,000,000, and now he has jLue
West to spend it. The facts ir’tlie
case, as related to me this morning,
are as follows:
Six months ago, a charming young
lady, dressed elegantly and in the
height of fashion, and representing
herself to be the relict of a late
prominent New York oil speculator,
appeared at Washington and took up
her residence at the Arlington Hotel.
While at the Arlington she one day
had occasion to procure an assort
ment of perfumery, and in quest of
that desirable acquisition of toilet,
called at the extreme upper.crust
drug store of that city, known as
Thompson’s, which is situated oppo
site the Treasury Department
Behind the showy counter of
Thompson’s red-bottle establishment
waited an attractive clerk, a young
gentlemen of twenty-nine, who was
no sooner seen than he had con
quered. The next day the relict of
the New Yoik oil speculator invited
the elegant drug clerk to a tete-a tete
at the Arlington.
Thereafter occurs a blank until the
time of the Baltbnore Convention,
when Air. Drug Clerk received a
mysterious note from New York. He
went to Baltimore, there met the
lady, was married, remained through
the Convention, and quietly returned
to Washington to resign his clerk
ship and exist without visible m a ans
of support. The lady soon followed
him here, and again went to the Ar
lington, w here she resided some time,
occasionally receiving the fortunate
husband, and loading him with pres
ents of diamonds, rings, gold watches,
etc., winding up by transferring to
him a whole hu-iness lot in San
Francisco, with the buildings tlieredri
—a very valuable piece of property,
of which she herself holds a compan
ion in New Yoik.
Next they started for Philadel
phia, where the lady took a sudden
notion to go West, the only noiflea
lion the ex drug clerk’s friends re
ceived of his intention being a tele
gram couched in these wo*ds :
“Shan’t return. Can’t avoid it.
Am going to San Francisco.”
On Friday a letter was received
from the Pacific slope, containing the
information that a young man had
started a magnitvent wholesale drug
store at the Golden Gate. The im
invnse wealth which has fallen to his
lot, together w th the extraordinary
manner of the match making and the
beauty and high standing of his wife,
are the nine days’ wonder of the
court circles of Washington, and
coming on the skills of the romantic
Aulick wedding, has set everybody
to asking, “What next?” —Boston
Traveler.
A Good One. —The following
good story is told of Major General
Thomas. While in Eastern Ken
tucky, many of the troops under his
command passed near their homes,
and being anxious to see their wives
and little ones, were daily imploring
the General for furloughs. One of
these soldiers, more determined than
the rest, visited, when the following
conversation took place :
“General, Pm only about four
miles from home, want to go over
and get up a little wood —kio ketch
you in a day or two, etc”
“How long since you saw your
wife and children ?” questioned the
stern old Major General.
With a woe begone expression the
six footer replied slowly and sol
emnly :
“Waal, Gineral, it’s nigh on to
twelve months since I was to
home.”
“Why, man,” said the General
briskly, “I haven’t seen my wife for
two years, and don’t expect to see
her until the war is over.”
The Kentuckian, putting on the
air of one resenting au insult, said
sadly:
“Waal. Gineral—me and my wife
is not that kind of people.”
An ignorant Irishman, seeing per
sons reading with spectacles, went to
buy a pair to enable him to read.
He tried several pairs, and told the
merchant be could not read with any
of them. “Can you read at all ? ’
a-k'-d tbe merchant. ‘No," was the
reply; ‘‘if I could, do you think I
would be such a fool as to buy spec
tacles?"
“Are you not afraid that whisky
’ll get into your head?” asked a stran
ger of a mam he sifw drinking at a
bar. “No,” said the toper, “this liq
uor’s too weak to climb. ’
Rouble Homicide at, Ratliff*'s
Landing, La.
The details of a horrible crime
reached us yesterday morning :
It appears that Inst Sunday, at
about S o’clock p. m., in the neigh
borhood at Ratliffs landing, seven
teen mites from Bat on Sara, while a
colored man named Early, in the
employ of Mr. George 11. Gurrv,
was returning home, lie was met by
a white man named Samuel Jones,
who, with a cocked shot gun, ordered
him to divest himself of his clothing.
Having complied with the orders
given by Jones, he was told to go
home and tell Mr. Curry that if he
did not like it he would treat bin
(Curry) in the same manner, lln
fortunately, Early on his way home
met Mr. Cnrry, in company _with
Henry C. Kingston, and t informed
him of what had been sahl and done
ty Samuel .Tones Mr. Curry went
at once in search of Jones, and met
him about three hundred yards from
the house of S. H. Cotton, father-in
law of Samuel Jones. Mr. Currv
was advised by Kingston that Jones
was armed and suggested that Guriy
had better ask Jones to disarm him
self, lie did so, giving up a Dcrrin
ger pistol to Mr. (Juriy. Curry then
informed Jones that he wanted no
controversy with him, that he must
give up the clothes lie had taken
from the colored man Early. During
the conversation which was carried
on relative to the clothes, the parties
approached a thicket, and when
within sixty or seventy yards there
from Jones raised his shotgun above
his head and began praying in a loud
voice, which must have been the tig
nal for Jones’ accomplice to fire on
Curry—as immediately the discharge
of a shot gun was heard and Carry
mortally wounded. It appears, how
ever, tliat after receiving the wound,
which in a few minutes proved fatal,
Mr. Curry wrenched a shot gun out
of Jones’ hands and fired one shot at
Jones, causing it.slant death. In the
melee Mr. Curry’s horse was killed,
and that of Kingston's wounded.
Josh I) Cotton, Brother-inlaw to
Famuel Jones, has been arrested,
charged with complicity in tlie mur
der of Curry; and is now in jail
awaiting a preliminary examinai on
YYe learn that this shooting was the
result of an old feud which had ex
iste I lor some time between Jones on
one part and Messrs. Geo. 11. Currv
and 11. C. Kingston on the other
Rumor sav*i that Jones ha- been
watching for Curry for some time

Is he Rich?
Many a sigii is heaved, many a
heart is broken, mariv a life is ren
dered miserable by tlie terrible infat
uation which parents manifest in
choosing a life companion tor their
daughters. How is it possible for
happiness to result from the union of
two principles so diametrically op
posed to each other in every point
as virtue is to vice? and yet lyiw often
is wealth considered a better recom
mendation for young men than vir
tue ? How often the fiist-question
asked respecting 4he suitor of a
daughter is this : “Is he rich ? ” Yes.
he abounds in wealth ; hut does that
afford any evidence t! at he will make
a kind and affectionate husband ?
“Is lie rich?” Ye*, his clothing is
purple and fine linen, and lie lares
sumptuously every day ; hut can you
infer from this that he is virtuous?
“Is lie rich ?” Yes, he has thousands
floating on every ocean; but do not j
riches sometimes “take to themselves
wings and fly away ?” And you con
sent that your daughter shall marry a
man who has nothing To commend
him but his wealth ? Ah ! beware,
the gilded bait sometimes covers a
barbed hook; ask not, then, “Is he
rich,” but “Is he virtuous?” Ask
not if he has wealth, but has he
honor? And do not sacrifice your
daughter’s peace for money.
Somebody' having applied to ari
editor for a method by which lie
might cure his daughter of her par
tiality for young gentlemen, is kindly
informed that there are several
methods of reform. The Test are to
put her in a well and drop a few
mails of gravel on her head, or to
hind her ankles to an anvil and upset
her out of a boat.

[s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Mr. Greeley at the Helm
r Again.
The telegram announces that Mr.
Greeley again ax-times ««!ittilial con
trol of tiie New York Tribune, ami
that in l)ife future il will be conduct
ed ax «f) independent political journal.
Il lias already been said in some
ipinitors that tbo nomination of Mr.
Greeley was a great mistake, and in
the deeadisappointment at the result
of tlnAelection, it is possible that
some of* ahe old animus against liirn
personally may be revived. It is a
fruitless Qiijk at this late day to dis
cuss tins'* propriety of Mr. Greeley’s
caodiduM. but no fair minded man
can fail for him that he bore
himself prudence and
ability rp the canvass, and did all
that a do to ensure success.
In bia? t'etlirn to the powerful j
press l?uiir lip bv his labors and his
talents, he has given the highest evi
dence of the sincere zeal which ani
mates him in the cause of national
reform.
Before Iho earth has dried on the
grave of his wife, and with the shouts
of a Northern rabble ringing in his
ears, the brave old man buckles on
his barne s and again enters the list
to champion a cause that will yet
iiso to a victory as grand in all pro
portions as has been its defeat. His
action must command the respect
and admiration of all who can ap
preciate the inflexibility of purpose
that disaster cannot divert from the
discharge of duty.
And if in the past the South lias
had reason to regard Mr. Greeley as
a foe, she will, in the future, lostn to
look upon him as a friend—a friend
whoso power and influence will be ex
erted and felt in her behalf.
For tho next four years the admin
istration of Grant will have the New
York Tribune banging on its flank.
The blows that have hitherto been
struck at Radicalism from the South
have fallen harmlessly or recoiled
with force The assaults that come
fioin the rear will be deadly, and the
Tiibune will lead the assailants For
the first time since the war the South
will have a vehicle through which
her cause and her wrongs may reach
the ears of the people of tho North.
I'he Tribune and the presses which
will follow its lead will not desert the
allies who stood bv them because
victory did not crown an effort that
deserved It.
Miv we not put down this as
something gained from the Demo
cratic and Liberal Republican alli

Ferocil's Editors. —We never
heard of anything like tlie ferocity
with which h couple of Indiana edi
tors are going for ea<-h other. One
of the combat tants is General Reuben
Williams,'of the War-aw Indianian ;
the other is Colonel Zimmerman, of
the Valparaiso Messenger, A pri
vate correspondence has ensued be
tween these pen ami ink warriors, and
the account may thus far be posted
up as follows :
1. Colonel Zimmerman calls Gen.
Williams a liar, a scoundrel and a
coward, and him to mor
tal combat. • ’ f Ai
2. General Wiliams calls Colonel
ZimmeAoau a branded and/thrice
proven liar, a dirty blackguard, a
base ingrate, a detainer of the dead,
and a pot bouse blackguard and
with whom it would be worse than
infamy to fight.
So aftet all ibis talking there is to
be no action—on.y ink shed and a
simoon of scolding. Thus far riei
ther of the belligerents seem to have
got much the better ot each other,
while either have exhausted the
Anglo billingsgate language.

“These ate the tough ones, sir.”

to this subject now is read with in
