SMALL THINGS.
A traveler through a dusty road,
Strewed acorns on the le.».
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time.
To breathe its early vows;
And age was pleasant, in heats of noon.
To bask beneath its boughs;
The dormouse loved its dangling twig,
The birds sweet music bore;
It stood a glory of its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the gra c ß and fern,
A passing stranger scooped a well,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle at the brink—
He thought not of the deed he did,
Hut judged that toil m'ght drink.
He passed again, and In! the well,
By summers never dried,
Had cooled teu thousand parching tongues
And saved a life beside.
A dreamer dropped a random thought,
’Twas old. yet ’twas new—
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong, in being true;
It shone upon a genial mind,
And lo! its bglit became
A lamp of li|e. a beacon ray,
A monitory flame.
The thought was small—its issue groat,
A watch-fire on a hill;
It sheds its radiance far adown,
And cheers the valley still.
A nameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart,,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown—
A transitory breath—•
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a sou! from death \
O germ! O fount! O word of love;
O thought at random east!
Ye were i ut little at the first,
But mighty at the last.
Our Claims against Spain.
Tberp are now on file in the otfire
of the commissioner to take records of
claims of American citizens against
the Spanish Govern.ne.it claims to
tlie aineuut of $50,00(1,1 00, and this
mm is daily being added to. Nearly
all these claims are on account ot
injuries and damages of recent date,
and they me principally such as grow
out of arhiirator seizures and arrests
in Cuba where American citizens
have large interests and are numer
ous. Since the beginning of the
Gulin rebel i 1 53, our citizens
in In.', u, -. • i *i ':*.■• island have

Mpetilv .L-ti d In these turbulent
semi bat banat,s, md all soi ls of
outrages and violence have been in
Aided upon the persons and properly
of our very Ladlv protected country
men. These abuses are but poorly
represented in l e money price put
upon them ; yet otn citizens might as
well claim five hundred millions as
fifty millions, since nothing is better
known than (lie total inability of
Spain to pay a single dollar The
attempt is being made by the Span
ish autuorities to offset these claims
with counter-claims founded upon the
filibustering expeditions front our
shores, and the memorable doctrine
of “due diligence” as defined in the
Treaty of Washington. Mr. Fish’s
zealous interference on all occasions
in behalf of stringent neutrality is so
well established, however, that these
claims will not amount to anything.
Meanwhile, a practicable plan has
been proposed by which out injured
citizens may hope to recover their
clairr s. As soon as Congress meets
in December a bill will be intro
duced, on the recommendation of the
President, authorizing our own Gov
ernment to settle these claims with
our own citizens, and assume their
amount. This will give the United
Stales a valid claim against Spain ot
not less titan $50,0l) ! 1,000. Of course,
so large a claim against so poor a
country as Spain cannot be permitted
to remain long in an unsettled condi
tion, and the President will ptopose
to Congress to give him the option
of buying Cuba at a fixed price,
(the $50,000,000 to go in part pay
ment.) or else to authorize him to
commente negotiations with Spain
for mortgaging die revenues of Cuba,
and putting our own officers in the
custom houses, until the amount due
has been paid out of those revenues.
It is hardly possible that so proud
and sensitive a nation hs Spain will
listen patiently to either of these
propositions, and we may conse
quently look to have our diplomatic
relations with that country very
much tangled up before many months.

Lawrenceville, Ga , Wednesday December 4. 1872.
George Gordon Meade.
This distinguished so!dier, whose
name will he vetm-mtiered as long as
the battle of Gettysburg and the
turning point it formed in the famous
invasion ol Lee, died at his residence
in Philadelphia of pneumonia. Gen.
Meade was born at Cadiz, in Spain,
in 1816, entered the United States
Military Academy at West Point
from tlie District of Columbia and
was graduated there June 30, 1835,
and appointed second lieutenant in
the lhird Artillery. He resigned liis
commission October 20, 1835, hut
alter living six years in retirement lie
reentered the service, and received
the ap; ointment of second lieutenant
in the Topographical Engineers, May
19,1842 lie was brevetted first lient.
for gallantry at Montery in 1840,
became first lieutenant in August,
1851, and was made captain, Mav
19,1856
I On the 31st of August, 18G1, he
was commissioned Brigadier General
of volunteers, and received the com
mission ot Major in the regular army
in June, 1802. He commanded a
brigade in McCall’s division of l’enn
sylvania reserves in the Army of the
Potoiuac until September, 1862, when
; he took command of a division in the
army corps under General Reynolds.
Geiieiril Meade lock part in the bat
tles ot Mechanicsville, June 20; of
Gaine’s Mill, June 27 (a few days
after which he w s wounded, but not
seriously); of Antietam, September
10, in which lie was slightly wounded,
and had two horses killed under
him ; and of Fredericks! >urg in De
ceinber, 1862, when the Union forces,
under General Burnside, with so
much slaughter. Two days after this
he supeseded General Butterfield in
the command of the Filth Army
Corps; was appointed Commander
in-Chief of the Army of the Poto
mac, June 29Ti. 1863, and fought
i the famous battle of Gettysburg.
! After this battle and the retreat of
i Lee General Meade continued at the
head *>f the Union forces until Gen.
Grant took his position as Com
mando -in-Chief in April, 1863, Gen.
Meade serving under him. He was
I soon entrusted with the execution of
| one of the earliest of the important
operations of the campaign which
i resulted in the fall of Richmond—
| the passage of the Rapidan, in at
i tempting which he was almost ut
terlv defeated. In the latter opera
linns conducted by General (Bant ; n
that memorable campaign General
Meade played a prominent part.—
Among his soldiers, although he was
noted for great severity and strictne-s
! in the execution of every measure of
j discipline, lie was very much beloved,
! perhaps more so than most officers of
| the war — N. Y World.
A Serious Subject.
.Never laugh at. relgion. Never
make a jest of serious things. Never
mock those who are serious and
earnest about their souls The time
may come when you will count ’hose
happy whom you langii at, a time
when your laughter will he turned
into heaviness. Whatever you p ease
® laugh at don’t laugh at religion.
Contempt of holy things is the
high road to infidelity. Om e let a
man h- gin to make a jest and j->ke
of any part of Christianity, and 1 am
ne v er surprised to learn that he lias
turned .out a downright unbeliever
Have you really made up y our mind
to this? Have you fairly looked
into the gulf which is now before
you, if you persist in despising reii
gion ? Call to mind the words of
David: “The fool hath said in liis
heart, there is no God.” lhe fool
and none but the fool ! He has said
it but lie has never proved it! Re
merobei if there ever was a book
which lias been proved true from
beginning to end, by every kind of
evidence that book is the Bible. It
has delicti the attack of all enemies
and fault finders. “The word of the
Loid is indeed tried.” It has been
tried in every way, aud the more
evidently lias it been shown to be the
handiwork of God himself.
Matthew Henry tells a story of a
great statesman in Queen Elizabeth’s
lime, who retired from public lile in
his latter <lays and gave himself up
to serious theught liis former gay
companions came to visit him, and
told him he was becoming melan
choly, “No,” he replied, “1 am seri
ous ; for all are serious around me.
God is observing us ; Christ is seii
ous in|;ntercediug tor us; the truths
of God are serious, our spiritual ene
mies are serious in their endeavors
to ruiu us, and why, then, should not
you and I be serious too ?” Don’t

Alex Stephens and a limit.;<] supply

I’m not going to bed about it. Old
| Greeley ain’t no kin to me. Grant
ain t neither, and that’s what’s the
matter. I talked for Greelev and
writ for him, but I never did hanker
after him. It made such an ever
lasting fuss in my family I had like
to run away. You see Mrs. Atp
wasent rekonsiled. She were a strait,
| and when she aint rekonsiled things
aint as placid as a silver lake around
my house. I don’t mean that times
is hot or desperate, but to say the
least of it they are pekuliar. A man
| likes to hav his bed and his hoard
sereen. Don’t he ? So you see as
my wife was a strait it dident become
me to he very crooked. And I warnt
—at home. She’s a good oman and
she’ll endure everything and never
grunt nor groan, hut she won’t com
premise worth a cent. 1 told her I
had no pertikelar use for Greeley and
I that, he was a darr.d old infatyated
! humbug, but that aur paper belonged
i to tire great un terry tide, unsatisfide,
j trnnsinorgrifide Democratic party and
must keep into line. She sed sum
i remarks about papers lying by the
ilav and l>y the week and about self
respect and independence and the
like, and I grew meek like Moses in
a few minutes. I lie fact is I’m a
tneek man. I ve laid awake of nights
a rumtnatin how meek I was.
Mrs. Arp thinks the paper ought
to take ‘truth” for its mot.o and
work up to it. I told her it would
be a dangerous experiment, but she
says it lias never been tried yet If
1 wasent afeered the little Arps would
perish to d*th dnrin the experiment,.
I would try it. Old Shanks says we
can’t be worsted for he lias tri ie

He says it would he ati episode in the
press, a kuriositv, something like an
elephant or an eklipse or Robvson’s
circus. He says sometimes a paper
sukseeds by lying, like the New York
Herald and the Trib ne and Forney’s
paper, but it has to he well backed
The Herald has got so now it can
quit party and set back in a cheer
and tell the truth in iis old age; like
an old spekulator who has made a
' fortune by cheaiin and Ivin ami then
puts his money in stocks and retires.
He says that political papers lie from
90 per cent, down to 10 and that
Forney is the only editor who ever
went full up to a hundred and kept
it there.

We can raise children atnl chickens

A Lift* of Adventure.
In New York, a noh'eman was re
cently found earning an houest liveli
hood as a ho’Sttcar uductor, while
a count was diseov ied making his
daily bread hv giving music lessons.
: Similar instaiM.es linve occurred in ail I
the large eastern cities It is not
strange, therefore, that St. Louis
should he honored with the presence
jof a German count at the piesent
time His name is ‘•Count A. Wimp
fen.” We made the discovery yes
terday, says the Missouri Republican,
and to day we propose to entertain i
our readers w ith a chapter of his his
tory, which is full of interesting and j
romantic incidents. In the first place
Count von Wimpfen is a voting man,
not more than twentv-five years of
age, of tall and slender build, dark
hair and datk eyes, and pale com ;
plexion; and he might by some be
called handsome, while by others lie
i would be pronounced good looking,
liis father is a 1 ierinan nobleman, ai d
one of the wealthiest in that country,
while liis several brothers are distin
guished officers in the German armv
The name of Wimpfen figured con
spicuously in the late war, as almost
any one will recollect. Count Wimp
fen, the subject of this sketch was]
himself engaged in this war, and w as |
wounded in the toot at the battle ot
Sedan. lie has a splendid educa
tion, having obtained it at the cele
brated University of Bonn. He
speaks llueiitly, French, Spanish and
Italian, understands Greek and Latin,
and his English is passable. He is
an accomplished sportsman and a
talented musician, He came to this
country some fourteen months ago,
and the cause of his leaving bis home
was a rupture with his parents. —
After the close of the Franco-Prus
sian war be lived a very fast life,
passing most of his time at the pub
lic gaming tables ot Wiesbaden and
Baden Baden, where he squandered
away all bis fortune, which was a
large one, and ran considerably into
debt. This wild and reckless course
of life, to use an Americanism, caused
a serious row with the old folks at
home, and the Count concluded to
take the advice of the of Chap
paqua, and came West. Ilis father
gave him SB,OOO, and letters of intro
duction to men of prominence in this
country, among whom were Generals
Sheridan, Sigel and others.
Upot his arrival in New York
Count Wimpfen began spending the
SB,OOO in his usual spendthrift man
ner. He visited Washington for a
couple of months, and then took a
trip through the Southern Slates
His money finally ran out, and the
next we hear of him is in Mexico,
where, on account of his rank and
family papers, letters, etc., he oh
tained a captaincy in the Mexican
army under Juarez, with whom lie
became an intimate friend. At the
1 Wattle of Za- atecas, in Ma ch last, he
i *as taken pi is tier by the enemy,
! from whom, at Matsmoras. by extra
-1 ordinary tunning, he managed to
escape. ii traveled on font Ur Gal
veston, lexas, sleeping on the open
prairie at night, and getting his food
vviien opportunity afforded, from the
ranclietos. After siifferinjr inniimeta
hie hardships lie ten-lied New Or
leans, where he “lamed the wind” by
giving a piano concert, at which ovei
eight hundred persons were present. !
The noble wandeier tiren visited {
Chicago, and then proceeded io the
Northern Pacific Railroad, upon I
which lie wtm employed* for some j
weeks, hut for some unaccountable
reason could not get any pay for
what he did. He fell sick at Fort
McLean, without a cent of money and
among strangers. Captain M. John
son, of the Steamer Silver-Lake, and
who is a whole-souled and liU-ral
hearted man, became acquainted
with the Count, and becoming deeply
interested in his adventurous history,
lie assisted him all that he possibly
could. When the Silver Lake came j
down the river to Sioux City Captain
Johnson took the Count with him as
a first-cla-s passenger, and never
charged him a cent. On the strength
of his person and the friendship of i
the captain he obtained a free railroad I
pass to Omaha, where he arrived two
weeks ago, penniless, of course.—
Here, by good luck, he found employ
ment as a draughtsman in the city :
eng neer’s office for two weeks. Not
getting more work he came to St
Louis. When he wilt, he can draw j
on his fattier at any time fur any
reasonable amount if he wishes to I
go home; but having become at
tached to America, and having an j
independent spirit, and possessing a
love of adventure, he intends to |
amuse himself a while longer by .
“roughing it” in the new world.
A true religious sentiment never
deprived man of a single joy. i
[|2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Garibaldi's Second Wife.
Mis Brewster, win>>»» letters t'lom
Ita'y to tin* Boston Advertiser me
always full of interestii.gr gossip ns
well ns valuable information on art,
tells the following romantic story :
Near Como » a p fiat iit I villa, with
toresulike ground*,"'which is one ot
the many villas belonging to the
lather of Garibaldi's second wile, the
Mareliesa. lie lias refused 750,000
francs for tlusvida dell, Or mo, Imt it
is said lie will take a million if offer
ed. In it and on its vast grounds
was he’d the Cotno industrial and
agricultural exhibition of this season,
which ev nt gave me a (banco to
see the building. The villa lias some i
suherb halls in it, and the grounds j
are very large. A gentleman who
sat next me tint other day at a dinner
party gave me a hit of romance about
the Mareliesa .Gaiihuldi, as the sec
ond wife of the famous Italiian gene
ral is ca[led. I had heard that she
was the wife of Garibaldi’s son.
“Not at all,” said my dinner table
companion, a Milanese Count, who
knew all about the affair; she is the
second wife of the guneial liims-If,
She left Itim the day alter the wed
ding, and they have never n et since ’’ j
1 looked all the quest inna I wa> I
dying to ask, upon which he added j
witii a laugh and a shrug its if he j
knew more than was proper to tell
at that moment.
“No reasons were ever given on
either side.”
The subject was dropped, hut it
recalled to :ue a strange si'ory I had
heard s one years ago of a second
marriage of Caribaidi’s, and which
served well to join i,n to the unfin
ished or bii k ti link that, my dinner
acquaintance had given me. I’ll tell
ii to you as it was told to me, and
you can join the two links or not,
just as you idease It was at least a
dozen years ago The lady was
young, titled, rich, handsome and
fast. No name was given'me. She
conceived a desperate, passionate ad
mit ation for t! • famous “liberator of
Italy” She was young enough to
he Garibaldi's daughter. The cele
bra ted “Anta,” his liist wife, who
accompanied him through many of
hi* adventures, and vvlio-e sad death
has been so often and so touchingly
described, is supposed to be the only
love of Gaiiba di s life. Neverthe
less, the merriage took place between
the General and the young horn
hardy mareliesa. But, sad to relate,
after the ceremony,Garibaldi received
information, with undoubted proof,
of the immorality of his young btide
Why bad lie not been informed
sooner? I cannot tell vmi am thing
but the simple story as 1 heard it.
I never ask questions on such occa
sions 1 think it ko *ps the cream of
a romance from rising properly.—
When tile new'y married pair were
left alone, Garibaldi told his voting
wife what tic had heard, hut added :
“il you will say you are tin honest
woman I will take you: word,”
“Hut if I cannot; what then?”
asked the mareliesa.
“We imi't part for ever tit is very
moment,” answered Garibaldi.
The young woman turned, left lier
liuslian.i of an hour, and never saw
him again. Jt win said that the
stories against her character were
false, and the young girl, though
gay, was innocent, lint her pride
was so wounded at the charge being
made by hei husband at that moment,
and in such a peremptory manner,
that she scorned to justify herself ;
his want of faith in her dispelled her
illusions and broke the charm of her
love.
I saw the Marcheta Garibaldi at
one of the legettas on Lake Como
early in September. She is about
thirty five years old, 1 should think—
a handsome hut coarse looking wo
man, has fierce, defiant blai k eyes,
dark skin, heavy black hair, parted
on one side: Thrust through the
thick braid* at the bac k was an Oiyd
ized silver sabre, placed in the same
way that the Trassevere tortoise-shell
daggers are worn in the hair. She
was dressed very simple in a sete
eruda or t,aw silk costume and round
hat, with cock-wf the-woo3s’ feather.
Josh Billings says that humility is
a good thing tew hav, provided a
man iz sure he haz got the right
kind, Thare never iz a kat*s life
when she iz so humble az just before
she makes up her mind tew pounce
unto a chicken, or just after she haz
caught and et it.

Family. Secrets.
1 he meanest of all meannesses is
that of going into a family, possesitrg
one’s self ol it« secrets, and then tell
ing th *lll t i ii| hers,
1 here is no family but has some-*
thing belonging .to the present, or
past, (hat the\ cannot eon. eal within
j their own homes, how'ever much tliev
itinv desire t<*do so.
They are open to lbe gaze of all
who cro«3 th.* threshhold, \et they

family.
They do not concern the nutter

with them.
et there ate tlnve who enter
these homes that are Afflicted with
domestic miseries, and although noth
ing is snni t“ them upon the subject,
lliov see for themselves and bear off
tlx* memory to exhibit, to others.

It Would In* a good lull* to adopt ill

It is p. iha| is envy that prompts
j one to Speak evil of another, esp.*
cinlly it any good fortune or good

We should rather t v to make

' o*i allow our lips to speak of a

existing in our own life is forever
past.

The doctor's work fill* six feet

There is nothing honorable that

It may sound like a paradox,

to make it fly.
An honest reputation is within

it by sociul virtu***, and by doing
