NOBODY’S ( Illlill.^
Alone in the dreary, pitiless street.
With my torn old dress and bare cold feet,
All day I've wandered to ai*d fr‘\
Hungry uml shivering, and nowhere to go,
The night, is coming on in darkness and dread,
And the chill sleet heating upon my bare head;
Ami why does the wind blow upon me so wild?
Is it because Urn nobody's child*
Just over the way there’s a flush of light,
And warmth ami beauty ami all things bright;
Beautiful ehihliv robes si* fair,
Are caroling songs in rapture there.
I wonder if they, in their blissful glee,
WouW |'Uv t\ jmov little beggar like me,
Wandering atom- in tlu> merciless street,
Naked and shivering, and nothing to eat?
Oh ! what shall I do when the night comes down,
In its terrible blackness over the town?
Shall I lay me down neath the ati„ry sky,
On the cold, hard pavement stone to die?
When the boaittifV.l children their prayers have
said,
And their mammas have tucked them up snugly
in bed.
No dear mother ever upon me smiled;
Why is it, I wonder? Fm nobody’s child!
No mother, no sister - not otVo
In all the world loves me; e'en tin* little dogs run
When I wander 100 near them ; 'tis wondrous to
flow everything shrinks from a beggar like mol
Perhaps ’tis a dream; but. sometimes when I lie
Gazing far up in the dark blue sky.
Watching for hours some large bright star,
I fancy the beautiful gates arc ajar.
And a host, of white robed, nameless things
Come fluttering o’er me in gilded wings;
A hand that is strangely soft a.ul fair
Caresses gently my tangled half,
And a voice like the carol of some wild bird
The sweetest- voice that, ever was heard
Calls me many a dear pot name,
Till my heart and spirit are all aflame.
Ami tells me ofsucfi unbounded h«ve,
And bids me come up to their home above;
They look at me with their soft, sweet blue eyes,
And it seems to me, out of the dreary night,
l am going up to that world of light,
And away from the hunger and storms so wild;
1 am sure I shall then be somebody's child.

Romance at Aledo Uuocli Ai tlen
Outdone.
In tlie early part of the war John
lfitg-lics, who at that time lived in .Mode,
a little town some twenty Hides from
Muscatine, and in Illinois, went into the
army. But a week Indore he enlisted he
married an estimable young httly to
whom he had been l-nlg- betrothed. It j
was the desire of both that the nuptials
should be celebrated before his depart
ure. We suppose John’s experience for
a while was similar to that id hundreds
of our young- men who volunteered in de
fense of their country. On Smith’s ix
pedit on up Kcd River, however, he had
the misfortune to be wounded, and in
that condition fell into the hands of the
enemy after the hatlie of Pleasant Hill,
lie was cent with others to Tyler, Texas,
where lie became insane, and from thence
lie was transferred to the lunatic asylum
at Austin. The news came back linm.
that lie had been killed at Pleasant Hill,
and be was so reported on the rolls ol
his regiment. His young bride mourned
for nearly two years, when, on the ad
\ ice of her pareuts and friends, she ac
cepted the hand of another, and married
bun last December. Her lirst husband
was discharged from the asylum restor
ed again to ins reason, and as soon as lie
could afumulaie the necessary means, lie
started for home. Arriving at New
Boston, the nearest river town to Aledo,
he fell in with a man from that place,
and without making himself known,
soon learned the condition ot affairs at
home. Grieved beyond expression, he
thought over the situation, and finally
determined, like Enoch Arden, to leave
his whilom wife and her new-found love
to themselves. Following out the resolve,
he came to thin city, and thence went up
into Tama county, where ho had distant
relatives living. The desire to hear
from ids old home became at last so ab
sorbing that, under an assumed name,
lie subscribed to the Aledo Record, the
village paper. East month be saw an
announcement of the death of his wife’s
second husband, together with a para
graph sympathising with the bereaved
widow, and giving urn account ot his
own death,as illustrative of the hardness
of her lot. Knowing that his wife was
again free, ho forgot whatever resent
ment lie might have felt over her second
marriage, and on Sunday last lie put in
appearance in person. What was said
at the eventful meeting wo have no idea
Whether, without a word, the re-united
couple rushed to each other’s arms and
vowed that bygones should be bygones
or whether crimination and recrimination
followed only to be at last overcome by
the hallowed recollections of days before
the war, we know not. Wo do know,
though, that the couple came to this city
Mo- v night, put up at the Ogilvie, arid
yesterday morning took the train west
ward to their new home in Tama county,
j ]f appearances can at all be rc’icd on,
wo will wager our bottom dollar that to
day there isn’t a happier man this side of
the Rocky mountains, than this same
John Hughes. As for Mrs. John Hughes,
dear reader, she looked less like a w.d-j
iiw than she did like a bride, aid if you
can draw any conclusions from this state
ment, you are welcome to them. — Musca

Education is a companion which no

degradation of brutal passions.
Vice Versa.— The time was, when a

A Coiulnotor Caught.
"Halloa, ’’ I.impy, the cars will start in j
a minute ; hurry up, or we shall leave I
you behind.”
The earn were waiting at a station of
one of our Western railr ads. The bag
gage master was busy with e-honks -
The men were kurryiiiK to ant’ IDS with |
chests and valicses, packages and trunks )
-men, ami women, and children were
rushing for the ears and busily st curing
their seats, while the locomotive pulled
and blowod.
A man carelessly dressed was stan
ding on the platform of the depot. He
was looking around him, and seemingly
[mid little attention to wlmt was passing,
ft was easy to see that he tvit- hunt).—
At a Imsly glance one might easily have
supposed that he was neither a man of
wealth nor influence. The conductor of
the train gave him a contemptuous look,
and slapping him familiarly on the shoul
der called out—
“Halloa, Eimpy, better get aboard, or
the cars will leave you behind !”
"Time enough, 1 reckon,” replied the
individual addressed, and retained his
seemingly listless position.
The last trunk was tumbled into the
baggage car. “Alt aboard,” cried the
conductor. “Go on Limpy 1” said he, as
lie passed the lame curiously dressed
man.
The lame man made no reply. Just
as the train was slowly moving away,
the lame man stepped on the platform
of the last car, and walking in quietly
took a seat.
The train had moved on a few miles,
the conductor appeared at the door < f
the ear where out- friend was sitting.—
Passing along he soon discovered the
st'-anger whom he had seen at the sta
tion.
"Hand out your money, here.”
"I don’t pay,” replied the lame man
quietly.
“Don’t pay?”
“No, sir.”
“We’ll see about that. 1 shall put you
out at the next station.” Ami ho seined
the v.-.E:-.o which was on the rack over llie
head of his trie fid.
“Hotter not he too rough, young man,’
returned the stranger.
The conductor released the carpi, t
and, seeing he could do no more then, he
soon passed to collect the fare front the
other passengers. As he stopped at a
seat a few paces off, a gentleman who
had heard the conversation just mention
ed looked up to the conductor and asked
him:
“Do you know to whom you were
speaking just now?”
“No sir."
‘That was P t.-t- VVarbarton, the Pres
ident of the i • i..d.”
“Are you sure of that sir ?” replied the
eondustor, trying to conceal his agita
tion.
“I know him.”
“The color rose on the young man’s
face, but with a strong effort he controll
ed himself, and went on collecting fare
; as usual.
Meanwhile Mr. Warlmrton sat qnietly
in his neat : none of those near him
could unravel the expression of his face,
nor could tell, what would be the next
movement in thu scene. And he—of
what though* he '! He had been rudely
treated ; he had been unkindly taunted
with the infirmity which had come per
haps through no fault of his. lie could
revenge himself if be choose. Do could
tell the directors the simple truth, and
the young man would he deprived of his
place ul once. Should ho do it ?
And yet why should ho care ? lie
know how ho had risen by his own exer
tions to the position he held. VV ben a
young orange peddler bo stood by tbe
si root crossings ; he had many a rebuff
He had outlived those days of hardship ;
lie was respected now. Should lie care
for a strangers roughness or taunts.—
Those who sat near tpm waited curiously
to see the end.
Presently tlie conductor came back..—
With a steady energy ho walked up to
Mr. Warlmrton’s side. He took bis book
from bis pocket, the bank bills, the tick
ets which lie had collected, and laid them
in Mr. WarbfH-ton’s hand.
“I resign try place sir,” he said.
Tho I’residcnt looking over tho ac
counts for a moment, then inviting him
to the vacant scat at his side said :
“Sit down, sir ; I would like to talk
with you.”
As the yofing man satdo-fvn the Presi
dent turned to him a lace, in which there
was no angry feeling, and spoke to him
in an under tone'.
“My friend I have no revengeful feel
ings to gratify in this matter ; hut j'ott
have In 'ii very imprudent ? Your man
ner, had it been thus to a stranger, would
have been very injurious to the interests
of the company. I might tell them of
this, but I will not. By doing so, I should
throw you out of .your situation, and you
might find it difficuP to find another.—
b t in future remember to be polite to all
you meet. You cannot judge a man by
the Coat lie wears, and even the poorest
should be treated with civility. Take
your book, sir I shall tell no one of what
i has 'passed. It you change your course,
nothing that lias happened shell injure
you. Your situation is etiil continued.
Good morning sir.”
The train of cars swept on as many a
train hail done before ; but with it a
lesson had been given ami learned, and
| the purport of the lesson ran somewhat
| thus : “Don’t judge from appearances.”

discharged with acknowledged ability
and dignity; and so far as his neighbors
were capable of judging, lie appeared to
lie a ve:y honest man. lie had, however,
acquired tlie habit ot "trumping tip” ac
counts against (lie estates of those of his
neighbors who were so unfortunate its to
“shiilHo off their mortal coils” within the
bounds of his bailiwick. Ho had carried
the practice to such an extent as to a
rouse a suspicion in the minds of some
of his meddlesome neighbors that there
might be “something dead” somewhere in
“the seat of his—” financial operations.
Hob Grogan, who lived in the" neighbor
hood, and "run” the postoflice at the
crossroads, being something of a wag,
and having an idea that tlie Squire’s hon
esty should be quoted below par, conclu
ded, with the connivence and assistance
of a few comrades, to “unearth tlie sly
old fox,” and expose his rascalities. Ac
cordingly Hob pretended to die, was reg
ularly shrouded and laid out on the cool
ing board hi tho most approved fashion,
and sorrowing friends proceeded to
spread the news of his demise, which
soon reached the cars of old Kutt-Cutt.
He lost no (line in repairing to the house
of mourning, carrying with him a “full
and complete assortment” of first class
condolence and sympathy for gratuitous
distribution turning tho members of the
bereaved family, and tlie many sorrowing
friends of tlie supposed deceased, who
were present when lie arrived. After he
had relieved his heart of its burden cf
healing words, and had succeeded in a
tolerable effort of crying, and was about
to leave tlie scene, lie tenderly spoke as
follows:
“All, poor Bob, I’m sorry be died; lie
was a good feller, and I alius jliked him.

Butt Putt didn’t finish the sentence, for
just at this point Bob, tlm'corpse, slowly
raised tip bis shroud, and stretching- out
his arms toward the rogue, as if to
clutch him, yelled:
“Von are an infernal old liar, and if-—”
The din and roar drowned the rest,
and old Butt-Cute didn’t wait to see or
hear anything more, but with the hurried
exclamation, ‘goddlemity,’ he stmt thro’
the door, hurried to bis homo, “packed
lip traps,” and not only left tho neigh
borhood, but the State of Georgia for
ever.
A Gallant Soijiif.r’s Opinion. —The
daily papers are making a great muddle
over the opinions of the prominent gen
erals and the people at large on the qnes
tiou of reconstruction. They tell us that
Grant approves of tho course of the Pres
ident, that Thomas agrees with Sheridan
and that Sherman favors the plan of Con
gross, or rio: versa according to their
pol tical bins. \Ye can tell them all that
if the Congressional system is to put the
South in possession of the negroes, i,
docs not meet the views of the people,
the sailors in our fleets, the Soldiers in
our armies, the merchants at their desks,
the fanners at their ploughs, or any- oth
er large body of our citizens.
A St. Domingo is not what wo fought
for ; wo do out want it, and will not have
it ; and that the niggers, whether white
or black, may understand as well first as
last. Nations are cruel when driven to
despair ; and rather than surrender our
white nationality, we will massac e or
enslave every colored mail in the Slates,
'f is may bo bold language and uncon
ventional, but we ask our readers wheth
er it does not moot the confirmation of
their hearts ? Wo have sacrificed too
many wl ites for a principal to stop at
taking tlie lives oi a few worthless blacks.

B®, A correspondent of the Chattu
nooga Union tells tho following of a
shrewd and comical Atlanta merchant:
I heard of a good thing perpetrated by
one of them, which was related by him
to a New York drummer The merchant
aforesaid is in the ready made clothing
business and ho told tho gentleman from
Now York that when a customer comes
in, after lotting him try on several coats,
lie would say to him lie had a coat which
he-had given a gentleman to take home
the night before, but lie was not satisfied
with it and returned it. Perhaps it may
fit his customer. “Now, you know” says
he, “all men are more or less dishonest ;
so 1 put a pocket book in one of tlie coat
pockets, which only costs mo thirty or
forty cents. Now when tlie man tries
the coat he puts his hand iti the pocket ,
and feels the book, and' lie buys the coat
at once, for a considerable adf-auco on |
the usual price ; and he never conics i
back to see about it.”
A Matrimonial Question. —A young
man asked an' old gentleman tor his
daughter in marriage. The answer, was,
go into the orchard and bring a parcel
of apples. Give me one-half tlie whole
number, and to the mother one-Half the
balance and hall an apple over, and to
the daughter one half the remainder and
an apple over, and have one left tor your
self without cutting an apple, then if she
is willing you can have her, lid solved
the question and how many? did he
bring?
A lady wrote to her lover, begging
him to scud her some money; she added,
by way of postscript, “I am so ashamed
at the request 1 have made in this let
ter, that 1 sent after the postman to get
it back, but the servant could nut over
take hmi.”

The Princess Saint Salm, a yery pret
ty little woman, now in her twenty-sev
enth year, is not “an American lady,”
nor was her maiden name Le Clerq. Her
father who has resided in Canada for sev
eral years, bears a very different sur
name, and is a Colonel in the British'
service. Previous to hie residence in
Canada he served in tfio Fast Indies;
where his daughter was burn, her mother
being a half cast Hindoo. It iff pretty
clear from these premises; tftttt the Prin
cess Salm Salm is hot, and cannot be “a
niece of President Johnson.” Ten years,
ago she arrived in Philadelphia with “a
plentiful scarcity”of money, having*,tap
, deed, only tbe clothes .which tth'b then
wore. Her story, which there is no rea
son to discredit, is that her father haying
treated her so harshly as to make Koine
unhappy, she had left Canada. At that
time, according to the date of her birth
in the Almanach do Gotha, Miss Agnes
LeClcrq (as slrt ciitfed herself,) wanted
some months of sweet seventeen, but she
looked three or four years older. She

ri While liailical
Wo invite tbe attention of the malig
nant editor to the following incident re
lated by the Bolivar Bulletin :
At Union City, atjwhich place Brown-,
low received a majority of f’ofcs , cast,
tl ero resides a colored barber, by lliq
name of Young, who is well known as a
man of considerable learning and wealth,
and a staunch Conservative at that.—:
Young, so we are reliably informed, had
engaged upon a liot’fse which ho was
building: a white man named Venters
On the day of election Venters went to'
the polls and not only voted for Browny
low but electioneered for Hie Radical
ticket all day long. Next morning ho
repaired to the building and was soon
busily engaged at work. Pretty soon
Young sent a note to him, requesting
that he should come to his office immedi
ately. Venters promptly reported, when
the following conversation,Jin substance,'
took place : .
Young—-You voted for Brown: rV and
against my best interests, .did von?
Venters—Yes, 1 voted for Biownlow.
Young—l know it very well, sir.—
Make out your account ; 1 will not em
ploy any man who votes for a party that
robs the people of their rights.. Tbe set
tlement was tYiade, and Venter? went in
search of a bureau, we suppose. Young,'

When Jn 'rHon Was moving on to

one. Tlie General bag brought with It in,,
from tlie Valley, a rough, uneducated
man, full of energy, who bud served him
in emergencies, and in whom he had the
utmost Confidence. He called this man
and told him that tlx stream must be
bridged immediately;, tbe regular engi
neers were advised of tlie fact. In a short
time tbe rough Carpenter and the polish

former had his plan, the latter tlieirn; ho

they could perfect tlie plans on paper.

Wo mar smile at Hie simoliiity of tSA
old mrn; lint still liis langnage indicates
a spirit that contributes much to a calm

to cultivate that spirit than to be contin

Be thankful' for such mercies as you have,'
and if God I sees it will be for your gooff
and His glory, He will give you many
more. At kast, dii not make yourself

and complaints.
