The Marictta Journal,
Wanted .at the Cross Roads,
s B b
I was in.a hurry to reach home. No
wonder, farit was the wildest night I
had ever known in all my life, and the
country over which I took my way as
bad and dark ascountry roads in general.
Consequeatly, 1 was waliking ata great
rate, with the collar of my rough coat
over my ears, and a comforter tied over
my soft hat and under my chin to keep
it on and protect my ears, whon sud
dently a man stoad full in my path and
caught me by the arm.
“Halloa !” said he, ‘“you’re just in
time; yon are wanted at the cross: roads
to-night.",
The voice was the voice of a ruffian.
I fancied myself attacked by a high
wavimman. I stood quite still and strove
te show him by my wmaaner thas I was
able to protect myself.
“\Vhat the deuce am I wanted at the
cross roads for?” said 1. “Unless 1
choose it would be a very hard matter
to gef me there.” v
But instead of producing a pistol and
demanding my woney or my life, the
man answered in an altered tone:
“Beg pardon, I made a mistake. I
thought it was my brother, and I want
ed to frighten hime Bad night, sir.”
“Very,” said L
“You don't know the time, sir?”’ he
asked.
1t was seven when I left the train at
[——." said L
“Thank ye, sir,” said the man.—
“Geod pight,” said 1.
[t his abject kad been robbery, prob
ably he had decided from my rongh ap
pearaace that 1 was too poor a man te
be worth the troable. \
Dutafer all 1 thought, probably le
had spoke the trath. A man may have
<uch awvoice without being a highway
wwan, oo doubt,
“o I went on homeward, and soon
fonud myself under shelter, and parta
Ving of a warm and savory supper.
My another was there and my broth
er Ben. Ben was a great strapping fel
fow who conld beat any other boy of his
ace formiles around, if it cameto wrest
liig or boxing, aud as goad humored a
bov as ever lived—a boy always to
vother and me, though he had exercised
Gis right to vote already in one Presi
dential election. ;
The moments: Den's head tonehied the
pillow he always went to sleep. Thai
vight followed Lis example.
But 4 did not sleem long without a
Bewm—a dream in wideh 1 felt arcugh
svip on oy arm, and was aroused by a
CPY I Y ears
“Wake up! ¥You are wanted at the
¢ioss roads—""
It was go real so palpable, that when
i started broad awake [ actually bo-
Leved that some oue was in the room @
the map who bad met me on the road
perhaps, and who intended robbery or
violence. But when I had arisen and
iit my lamp, the room was empty, ex
cep’ myself and Ben, who lay snering
on his pillow.
I weunt to the door; it was locked.—
I went to the window ; the rash of rain
against the panes was all 1 heard. 1
even went aoross the passage to my
mother’'s room. She was awake ; there
Lad been no unusual sound sho was sure.
Ocly a dream born of my meeting
the strange man in the road, I felt had
awakened me. Iwent to bed and fell
asleep again. Aguain I was awakened
by the same words, this time shriecked in
my ear by an unearthly voice.
“Wake up, wake up. You are want
ed at the cross roads.” :
I was on my feet once mere, and
caught Ben’s hand as be came over to
ward my bed. :
“What ails yon ?”” he cried.
“Nothing,” said I. Did yeu hear a
voice 7
“Yours,” said Ben, “yelling wake up,
you fairly frightened me.”
“Ben,” said I, “wait till I light the
lamp; I heard another voice.. There
must be some one in the house or out
side.” _
So I agamn lit the lamp, but we search
ed in vain. ' )
“Nightmare,” said Ben wher I told
him my story.
“Den,” said I, “what is there at the
cross roads 177
“A house,” said Ben. Ie had lived
in the neighborhood a long while, and 1
not long. »
“One little hounse, bLesides two oak
trees, aud a fence. An old man lives
there —a rich man, and a bit of a miser,
they say. IHis grand-danghter keeps
house for him.”
“Ben, that fellow may have meant
harm to them. I may be wanted at the
cross roads.”
_ “Brother,” said Ben, *‘go to sleep.—
Yon had a nightmare,” and Ben plung
ed in between the blankets, and was
soon endring again. |
MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1868.
| lalso in ten'minutes slept as soundly
as before, but the awakening soon came
again,
I opened my eyes to see a girl stand
ing at the foot of my bed. A girl in
white robes, with golden hair all about
her shoulders who rung her hands and
cried, “Oh wake up, you are wanted ai
the cross roads.”
| This time I started out of bed, bathed
lin a cold perspiration. [ trembled like
a leaf. I had no doubt that I had re
ceived supernatural warning.
“Ben,” 1 cried, **Ben, for the third
time 1 have been told that I am wanted
at the cross roads, aud I am going.”
~ And I began to dress myseifas speed
ily as pessible, listening the while to the
storm raging wilder and wilder than at
any other period skice its commence
ment.
Ben remonstrated with me in vain.
At last he also began to huddlo on his
clothes. {
“If you have gone mad I must go
‘with you to take care of you,” he said.
“But fancy another man, going out
in a storm like this to the cross
roads, because a nightmare caused him
to do so, and what would you think of
him 17
I said nothing. All T could have
answered would have been:
“f amm compellod to go; I must go.—
[ dare not refuse whatever may be
thonght of me.”
In ten minutes we were splashing
through the mud and rain along the
road, It was perfecily dark ; now and
then a blazed red star in the distance
told us that a lamp was beaming through
the rain in some cottage window, bat
otherwise we would not have been con |
scious of our proximity to any ‘habita
tion whatever. At last nearing the spot
where the road from S—— arosses the
road to P—— we were indeed in as soli
tary a place as can be imagined.
The house, which abutted on the very
angle of the roads, called in familiar
parlanco the Cross Roads was the only
one for some distance in either direc
tion, and certainly on such a night we
were not likely to meet many trav
clers, o
All was quiet as the grave. W stood
quite stifl. Ina moment Ben brokeout
in ono of his wildest langhs.
“Well,” he said, *“how now? Will
you go home now and have another
nightmare 77
But hardly had the werds escaped his
fips when a shrick broke oa the air, and
a weman’s voice plainly coming from the
interior of the cottage, eried :
“Help! help! help!”
“Ben,” said I, “we are wanted at the
cross roads;” and then understanding
cach other, without morz words we
made our way to a window ; through it
we say an awZysight. ;
And old man'lay on the floor, and
over him bent a ruffian, clutching his
throat aud holding a pistol to his ear,
while another wan grasped the -shrink
ing girl by the arm—a girl in a floating
night dress—with such long golden hair
as belonged to the girl of my vision.
Not a moment was to be wasted,
Ben flung his weight agaiust the slen
der lattice and erushed it in, and we had
grappled the ruffians before they knew
whenee the attack came, or how many
foes were upon them, .
I do not intend to describe the strug
gle; indeed, T could not if I would.—
We were strong men, and inspired by
the cries of the bhelpless old man and
the terrified girl, soon had one of the
villians bound, and the other lying pros
trated on the floor.
Thon Ben started for assistance, and
before morning both were in jail, Ben
admitting, as we shook each other by
the hand, that “we were wanted at the
cross roads.”
" The old man was not a miser, but he
had saved somnc few thousand dollars
for his old age, and living more plainly
than he need to have done, had given rise
to the rumor, and so brought the burglars
to the cross roads in the hope of Looty.
The girl, a beautiful creature of sev
entcen, was his grand-daungliter, and as
no story is acceptable to the lady read
ers without a flavor of romance, I will
tell them that she became in affer years
not my wife, but the wifc of my darliog
brother Ben.
{557 “Everything has its use,” said
a philosophical professor to his class.
“Of what use is a drankard’s fiery
rose 17 asked one of the pupils.
“It is like a liglthouse,” "answered
the professor, “to warn us of the little
water that passes underneath it, avd re
minds us of the shoals of appetite on
which we might otherwise be wrecked.”

VICTORIES AND VICTIMS OF PHACH
" AND WAR.
There are few persons who seem to
be aware that triwmphs of peace are not
less glorions than thoese of wae. There
are probably few still who stop te con
‘sider that peace has its victims as well
as wur—;—:fiat the garments of these
peaceful heroes of the people whose lives
are devoted to the production of wealth,
are sometimes *‘rolled in blood,” like
those of the warrior mentioned in the
sacred writings. Yet both of these
propositions are facts capable of mathe
matical demonstration, and ought to
command the attention of the political
economist and Christian philanthropist.
To convince ourselves that the tri
amphs of peace are not loss glorious than
those of war, we need only to glance at
our gxs-lighted cities, our railroads, with.
their immense trains of steam-drawn
cars, our electric telegraphs, spanuing
our continents, bringing, by mecans of
a cable laid on the bed of the Atlan
tic, the Old World and the New within,
what is equivalent to, “car-shat” of cach
other; our ships bridging the same vast
ocean, our ponderous machines, with
which we ean cut a massive bar of iron
into ribbons thinner than a wafer, our
million-tingered engiues, which ean fab
ricate the most delicate and Dbeautiful
prodactions of the loom, at so trifling a
cost as to render the coarsest hand
wovea materials far too dear. ‘
These are some of the triumphs of
peaco. the victories of our peaceful
-wealth-producers. No one will dare to
affirm that they are less glorious than
those of war. DBut who can believe that
the olive wand of gentle peace is ever
stained with the erimson current of life,
or that her garments, like those of the
warrior, are sometimes *‘rolled in blood"!
Yet are we not painfully reminded,
every now and then, that (this is an un
deniable fact ? i
Many accidents, on land and sea, are
constantly occurring, which contirm the
truth of the aphorism that ““In the midst
of life we are in death.” Many occu
pations materially shorten the lives of
those who follow them. Many victims
are annually offered up on the alters of
science and trade. Yes, indeed, it is a
melancholy fact that our second propo
sition is as true and as capable of dem
onstration as our lirst,
Take, for example, the folloving sta
tistical returus of mining accidents in
England last year. Not less than 1,190
persons lost their Jives in eoal mines,
The number of males employed in this
peacaful warfare was 533,110, and the
quantity of coal raised to the surface by
their labor was 105,071,743 tons. So
there was one life lost out of every 250
persons employed and to every 88,300
tons raised. In some places the fatal
accidents appear to lave been much
more numerous than in others. Thus
we find that in North and Fast Lanca
shire one life was lost to every 3190 ew
ployed; in West Lancashire and North
Wales, one to every 224; and Cheshire,
one to every 204,
The triumphs of peace, though not
celebrated with the same pomp and pa
geantry as those of war, are beyond all
question more glorious. And although
as many lives may be sacriliced on her
altars, still peace has, in every way, the
advantage in the comparison we are
drawing. Peace is che producer of
wealth and all its attendant blessings—
war the destroyer, Peaceis the reflect
ed glory of the abodes of the blessed—
war the incarnation of all that is evil.
Peace extends her sceptre over the
world, and “the desert rejoices and
blossoms as the rose.” War sounds her
hate-inspiring tocsin, suthmoning man
kind to fields of slaughter, and makes
“the fruitful place a wilderness.”

WADAT AFTER CORN. AND WHEAT
AFTER WHEAT. ¢
Jos. Wright on his capital Fayette
farm, got forty-five bushels of wheat to
the acre this season from his last year's
corn field, The land was ploweg and
caltivated as soon as the corn crop was
ent up and removed, the latter part of
September, T'he field bad been K“W
manared for the corn crop in the win
ter. His wheat grown on sammer fallow
was move shrunken by tho excessive hot
weather, and yielded ouly thirty bushels
to the acre. Asthe clover seed sown
on his wheat in the spring failed to
make a lusting stand, he manured and
plowad up the stubble, and sowed it to
wheat again early in September. On
the Bth of October it had made a very
even, good stand, and he was then pro
paring his corn field by the side of his
forty acres of sown wheat, to be sewn
with wheat on the 10th of October. The
corn had been cut unp, and put in
large stocks oa the sown wheat adjoin
ing. Although rather late, such is the
fine condition of the soil, full as it is of
sulable plant food left by the corn erop,
that he anticipates as good a crop from
this last sowing as from the wheat airead
np in the other partof the large fiel-f:
I went thron,h this corn before it was
cut up; it was probably the largest crop
grown in this country, or anywhere else
iuso dry a scason; it was the sixteen to
twenty round dent corn, planted in drilla
four feet apart, and only cight to nine
inches apart ine the drill, 1 looked in vain
for a stalk withaut an ear, and there were
very few nubbins, and ae suckers. As
Mr. Wright keeps forty ¢cows to make but
ter, and pigs cuoiigh io eat the butters
milk, buys straw, and some mills
feed and oil cake, he make manure
enough to get maximum crops from
every field. The entire surface of
every plowed field was so full of veges
table remains, so friable and absorptive,
that it brought to mind the counterparg

REMOVAL OF THS NATIONAL CAPI.
TOL. 4
One of the editors of the Washington
Star, lately traveling inthe West, writes'
from St. Louis as follows: :
“People ont here have a settled cona
viction that the scat of government will
be removed here or hereabouts within
the next twenty years. They say that
they will have it, not to give importance
to any particular city or locality, but as
an emblem that the seat of empire is in
the Mississippi valley. The capitol,
they hold, will come to them naturally
and inevitably in the course of a few
years., I'he East is not growing ; the
West is gaining powerin Congress year
ly, throngh the formation of new States.
and new Congressional Districts, When
all these vast praiiies of the richest land
ate filled up with the population they
are capable of supporting, the wealth
and population of the country will besa
preponderant here that the scat of gov
ernment will necessarily gravitate to the
point where it will be in harmony with
and an exponent of the national heart.
This i the Western idea, and it is worth
our while in Washington to prepare to
meet it by making our city so cosy and
agrecable as a place of res denes and re
sort that members will be unwilling ta
leave it to seek quarters of doubtful
healthiness on the banks of the muddy
Mississippi, Washington, with her
equablo ¢limate and favorable situation,
has first-class advauntages for the perma
nent seat of government, The work
now to be done is to bring the city up ta
the mark of equality with its advan
tages of pnsit})fi.’ But the subject is too
prolitic to bg dealt with here,”
Goop ¥For Gerwrr SMrrit—oCerrig
Smith is oat in a long letter, dated the
7th instant, addressed to General Grant.
In regard to the Suuth Mr. Smith says ;
“I cannot forbear saying that ne small
ground of my rejoicing in your election
is your charitable judgment and geners
ons treatment of the Seuth. Warmiy
did Tapprove the easy terms om which
von allowed General Lee to surrender.
Your subsequent report of the temper.of
the South, after a too hasty tour threugly
it, showed that you were capable of
forming a charitable judgment of evey
