As the shadows of Ihe lamp flicker and play strange freaks across the carpet, we bend down our heads and turn aside from the merry games and uright smile's that wreath the face ol Hope, to call memory from the corner of our heart were we t > ofieu hid her linger. Siie comes up t. our Call, and, ih ugh stray lines of sunshine linger here and there, Lor stray lines of wel come are sad ones, and speak to us of friends dead and hopes crushed. YVe are going back trow, down the shady valley that en otnbed the tdd red house ; we are looking away back years and years at balls, and, tops, and lumps, young lads shouting lu their sports and games. We nee moth' or at the door, and the fool falls of our Companions < elio tip toe gravel walk. YY'c follow with onr eyes t e fingei of meu ory, and we set the cold, ghost like tombstones grouped together in the hill side grave yard. YY’c see the sighs and tears that Hope has never blotted out : we follow each step fr< m boyhood to silver locks! Years ago a bar y voices rang through tile parlor and kitchen ; a baby laugh rippled out in little waves, the chubby white foot pattered over the fl or : baby smiles welcomed us at (lie door, and the little fingers felt in our pockets to grasp a reward. Hope told us of a life, for him that should, in they grey locks of life, cheer and bless us. YVe unlock the sacred drawer and takeout the wooden horse, the ball of string - 1 two li tle brown marbles, and a great pain lugs at our hearts. YVe see a snowy cot, heat little groans of pain and anguish, sec the death angel stand in the door and weep with us while she bids him cane. A little coffin, a stillness in tli> house, a tiny grave. Oli ! Memory, yon bring hot, bitter tears ; you wrench down with ruthless hand tbe wall which hope had built to prevent ns frtmi looking over the des ert spots ol life. “ Tnrmbarkwanl, bit 1 Time.’’ Give again the bounding steps of youth, the merry laugh, the bright spots of stuostLinu Urai clouds ha vie since turn ed into funeral palls. We ate grow in - old—we are groping in darkness that lead - us along the unknown shore. We smile sadly at the beckoniugs of Hope.

PALMETTO, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1873. ilew a Newspaper Was Started. Years ago an educated but rather fast young Englishman, having run through all his ready money by a long course of fashionable dissipation in the chief cities of the Continent, found himself one day in Paris, with his means of livelihood nearly exhausted, and credit entirely gno This state ot things—almost face to face with want—set him to reflecting seriously, for the first time in several years.— ‘Something must be done,’ mused he, ‘ and that right qtiiekly. Bread and batter must be had, and there is no money in niy trowsurs wherewith to get it; or, at best, only sufficient to last, with economy, three or four days longer; and, then what ?’ Being nat urally shrewd, of an inventive turn of mind, and a very ready ink slingist, he quickly formed the determination of turning these qualities to present ac count. ‘Necessity is the mother of in vention,’ ii is said. His resolution to strike out in his new course was no sooner taken than lie proceeded to put it into ex' cution. On t a kill'' account of stock our im pecunious friend finds he lie lias just sufficient funds on hand to settle up with his landlady for bis last lodg ngs, take him across the cl annul to London, and insert an advertisement he had studied up and prepared, three times in two daily papeis of the city. ‘And what was tli's cuiious ad vet tisement ?’ very naturally asks the reader. It simply called for five hundred news boys to sell anew daily paper about to sta t. As their cornmisdon for do ing this they were to receive an extra per centage, but. as a guarantee (and here conns in the joke), each boy to be employed must ! euve with his em ployer ju t one pound sterling. Tills conditii u was peremptorily insisted on in every case. But the extra inducer ment had the desired effect—in fact, it G ok admiradly, for in less tin. n a week the five hundred boys, or their friends for them, had applied, registered their names, and £SOO sterling were duly deposited. Mr. Smithson, onr embryo journalist, now set himself to work niglit and day to get up a daily paper. Aside from a few paying advertisements and some shilling notices, he himself wrote up the entire contents of the sheer, and ou the day the told to roine for their number u as ready, longer amy i!i, hi i§S Hi 11 le dill tlmse r •gg* ih lends suspect, I) *| whole thing was got ui^H ey !

MOB YIOLF.M'! IN GRANT PABISiI. What the Negroes nrc Aboikt. On Tuesday evening last, Judge Rutland, of Colfax, Grant Parish, was accosted by a large body of armed negroes, headed by one Flowers, a member of the Legislature, and the mob ordered Judge Rutland to leave the parish of Grant. He was given fifteen minutes to make his start, un der the penalty of being killed if lie refused to do so. The Judge quietly left within the time given, and his wife and family followed him as sooturs they could get a small amount of wearing apparel together. That night his house was broken open by jlie mob, his furniture broken to pieces and bis household goods all stolen. During die night the mob were yelV ing and shouting all around. In the village they fired into the house of Mr. Richardson endangering his lifo and the lives of his family. On YVedrresday morning the mob oidered \!r. Richardson to leave within ten minutes. lie obeyed, and he and bis family crossed to the east side of the river. As soon as they were gone their house was broken open and rob/ bed of its contents. Another house was abobn ken open and robbed by the mob of YY’t dn sday During tbe nights of Wednesday and Thurs'ay guns were fired for spin eral miles around the town by the ne groes, killing tie cattle and hogs of the v hites. Oti Friday, Butler, a freed mar, who is a merchant, and boars a reputation above reproach, culled on Register,the parish judge, to take measures to stop this rapine and outrage, and he de clined to interfere in any way; where upon Butler tried all his power of per suasion to stop their unlawful outrages, and the mob gave Butler a few min utes’ notice to leave the country.— About this time the steamer Louise, from .Shreveport, tlii- ci t \, came along -iu^^B ler and his fanjj There Ci •Y liat Shall We Dr* with Our Daughters ?
