To the tnemnry of little Katie, a daughter of dodge
Hammond, of Atlanta, Ga.
Bv nr.B sabb\tii-school traciixr.
An evanescent guest below,
Phe came and w ,. n t withont a stain.
Whither and whence? We only know,
Out ol God’s band, and hack again 1 ’
Afid Oure sweet child,
Oh the hank of the crystal stream that flows
By the great White Throne ihou’rt resting. Gently
Beside the still waters that hand will lead
Thine angel torm and point to Wondrous scenes
More dazzling far than is the noontide sun.
On earth eye hath not seen snoh radiant light,
Ear hath not heard such sounds as those that greet
Her listening ear. No night is there 1 No cloud
Is hov’ring o’er the skv that brightly gleams
With glory ineffible. No anguished moan
Falls on the perfumed air no fearful erv
Os sorrow bursts from seraph lips that there
ting Zion's songs forevermore—
A crown
Rests on thv fair yonug brow, a
More fair since it hath known the touch »f God I
And those dark lustrous eyes whoee g.-ntle light
So oft have filled my heait with tenderness
As toward the better land I tried tn point
The way, shal. never more be dimmed by pain.
We ftidsf no t Weep! Our angel only Waits
Beside she ftea- ly bars, f> r us who still
Each Sahuath feels her near. And though the hand
Os fate hath borne me from ftly p ecb.us charge.
And n.-vermon on earth it m iy be mine
To meet With them at early morn, or sing
Those sttftgs that ever thrilled with joy, and guide
Their tender feet aiong the Christian's path,
Tet Messed hope I one.lay tte may unite
Below the shining mercy seat, and there
Learn h<dy lessons from our God. How sweet
EVn now, to close otlr weaty eyes to all
The glare of worldly sheeft, a»d ehly d-eartl
01 Heaven! Ah, this great Joy I would not give
For all the pomp ol earthly fame.
’Ti* theft
Onr loved and lost are near. Star-crowned they gleam
In the solemn waning light to keep onr hearts
Without a stair, to whi.-per peace, -.nd hush
The warring elements that rage within.
Such, gentle Katin, u thine own pme soul
A comforter unseen. If on the good
And beautiful, our thoughts should rest still more,
How bright would be our path, for ** s ths love
So IS tjik LIKF !" No evil lostered long.
Or hasty word of passion th-n should blight
The heart in which our Saviour dwells. It shines
Exalted fr. e fr >tn bitt-rness and pride
A ceaseless type of His wh*» taught each day
That God i* Lore! Then oft when worldly strife
Oppresses may we turn to thoughts of these
<>ur absent ones, and make thHr own pure lives
Examples tor <>ur own. Fond memory loves
To dwell on this sweet flow.-r, plucked in the morn
Os Hte. and tho' no more joyous smile on earth
Is seen, we know the glory on her brow
To-day is ftr more lasting than the crown
Tnere placed by love-t one? on a festive sceno
One ye rag... Her May Day now is spent
In fidelexs bowers where no with’ring br.-ath may pale
The rosy hue upon her cheek, di-pel the warm light
From her eye, or sweep from God's own band
The gem for.-ver His.

Radicalism and Revolution.
We copy ir-’in the New York VV'orld a
l<*ntr article headed '’l)c We Accept Revo
lution ?” The W rid ia ihe lendinj? Dem
ocratic paper advocating what is cal ed the
’’N* w Departure. M and some of its articles
denuociatorv «»f Southern men who do not
wish to go in that direction as for as its de
sires have Been so bitter that we have f.dt
constrained tit protest against them Tlte
ar»’clc which we copy to-day is in quite a
dff rent tone, so much so that we are in
clined to regard the sudden change as stg
niticant of an a .rupt ‘•departure” Cr -in its
late line of welfare. We will not speculate
as to the prompting of this change in the
direction of the World’s fire, thouirh wc
think that we understand it, hut will pro
ceed to examine s me of its bearings.
The article in question, though unspar
ing in its denunciation of Radical tineonsti
tuiwnol l&jiislation. in p.osen'enee disputes
the legality of the 14 h at-d 15th Amend
ments In this respect it is consistent with
ihe “New Departure” and the resolutions
of all Northern Democratic State Conven
tions that have recently assembled. We do
not, therefi re, regard this article of the
W.-rld as indicati g any ohange in the cur
rent of Democratic opinion a' the North as
shown in the “platforms” <«f the late Stafe
Conventions. If, as we hope, it reveals a
purpose to cease the taunts and derision of
S unthern men who reluctantly accept the
new Democratic situation, so far very good.
But the article under consideration does
expose and denounce the great usurpations
and encroachments made by the Radical
Congress by an exaggeration or perversion
of the 14th and 15th Amendments, and the
necessity of vindicating the integrity of the
Constitution by Democartic action. It is
true —and our people would do well to bear
it in mind in the discussions of these ques
tions —that the Reconstruction legislation
of Congress was none of it founded on the
15t h. and but little of it on the 14th Amend
mente, because those Amendments had not
been ratifi- and (or fraudulently so proclaimed)
at the date of such legislation; and there
fore. even if these Amendments were fair
ly and regularly incorporated in the Consti
tution, the Reconstruction legislation can
derive no support fr *m them. The Ku-
Klux act alone was passed after the
proclamation of the adoption of the
15th Amendment, and the Radical
pretext is that that Amendment justiue.i it.
We are glad to see that this claim is indig
nantly repudiated bv the Word and the
Northern Democrats who go with it in the
**N**w Departure” ; and we tru-t that even
those Northern Dum >crat accepting th**
Amendments as par sos the Constitution
ful*y incorporated will see that- such accept
ance does not require thsm to revoke any
declaration of the Democratic p atform of
1868. or even Frank Blair’s energeriedenun*
elation of the Reconstruction measures as
unconstitutional and void Columbus En

Catholic Strength and Futnre Influence.
The Cincinnati Catholic Teleg aph. re
ferring to the lat** in honor of
the Pope, says: I his exhibition of Cafh*
0 ic strength, representing a proportionate
amount of the wealth ahd industry of the
.city, will entry with it a lasting impre?»ion*
wih have its influence to the interest ol the
Catholics If will speed many »c»s of jus
ti-e that big .try, through the fabr cation of
ftlse statistics, has too long delayed. The
Catholic life stream that is traversing and
enriching this Country in every direc
tion cannot he c mtrolled and opposed, and
depleted by unjust legislation
It is strong . nough to tfrmand. with the
irresistible force that is given to it from the
pulse 01 the great Catholic heart that beats
with she deepest loyalty f.*r ihe country,
the same Iret dom the same rights and privil
eges that other ciiizens enjoy. No power
on earth can stem the strong, healthy tor
rent of Catholic life that is contributed s-»
largely to the prosperity and greatness of
the nation. Here, as elsewhere, the Catbo
lie church is ever widening its folds, and
stretching us tent, and strengthening its
stakes, that it may inherit the gentiles. It
makes its gr wing members honest, sober,
industrious and intelligent citizen".
D demands in return that the millions rtf
citizens so instructed to labor and. if needs
be, to die for their Country, and equal en
joyment of all the blessings that our coin
mon government can bestow. If these be
relu-ed, the enemies ..f our faith be assured
that We will not submit »amely to the injus
tice. We will be ever law-abiding, as we
w»re wh.-n our highest municipal officer
forbid the sacred concert in honor of the
Pope on the sanctimonious plea that it was
a desecration of the Sabbath We will
treasure the rememhrai-c* of the legisia’ive
pains and penalties under which we suffer,
as we will remember the Comparison which
the mayor made between a sacred concert
and the sensual noise of rhe beer gardens.
We will never forget the robbery of the
school law until it is stopped ; and we will
likewise entertain for some time, until the
day of the political retribution comes, the
Contemptible movement of Mayor Davis to
prevent the erection »f the c ithedra! arch.
The shape <>f that decoration will outlive,
in the minds of Catholics ail other memen
toes <»f the papa! demonstrations. We will
not imitate the s!y. oily, serpent like nui
-I.movers of cl aked hostdity. We will
answer olir enemies by the free, open, manly
u-e of our suffrages We prop, ge to teach
him and others, who use their p.'Wcr to in
sult and injure Us because we are Citho
lics, that over one third ttf the population
of this city will compel a different policy—-
that they will force legislation into the
channels of even handed jos r ice
We *sk for no favors, we will abandon no

Knitting T was just dunking, moth
er,” said Rachel.
“ Thinking about what?” asked Mrs.
ITarland. seeing that her daughter did not
c-miplete the sentence she had hecun.
“It was something about knitting. Mrs.
Bat clay said this morning, as she passed
the window’ and saw me at w. rk, ‘That is
Soft and beautiful yarn, hut not ha'f so soft
and beautiful. I trust, as the yarn you arc
knitting into your life.’ I’ve been thinking
evpr since what she could mean, and it’s
just come to me ”
“Has it? I’m glad you’ve thought it nut
f<>r yourself. What is merely told us, often
goes no deeper than the memory, but if wc
think out anything for nurse ves, it becomes
mor<* real to us and more our own. We
understand it better.
“Yes. I am sure of that/’ replied Rachel.
“And what do you think Mrs. Barclay
meant ?” asked Mrs llarland,
“I suppose she meant that, oof thoughts
and feelings were like yarn, and that every
day we were knitting them into our lives.”
“I think that was hes meaning.” replied
the mother. “If day by day w*e knit ptire
thoughts and kind and gentle feelings into
onr lives, we shall not only f-*rm to our
selves beauriful characters, that will make
our presence a charm and a b.easing to
others, but acquire a heavenly quality that
will draw near to us, as like draws like,
the Angels of God with their prote ting
power, though we may not preceive their
presence.”
A tender thoughtfulness was in the eyes
nf Rachel. She d»d not answer, but ].». ked
down at her knitting, and as the s*-ft thread
passed through her fingers, she pondered
this new lesson in the book of life.— From,
the Children's Hmr
Hints Ab ct I>ks-s. We»r little or no
jewelry in the streets.
Large ornaments are seldom bee 'ming,
Never wear two bright colors at the same
time.
Avoid overdressing, if ahy doubt exists
about the occasion.
A dress of neb material is more genteel
than a sh- wy one.
A traveling dress should be strong io
fabric and simple in make.
A short dress should just clear the ground.
No m *re, no less.
Toe dress of a woman in the morning is
th»» real rest of character.
It isvulg’T for gentlemen to dress gaudi
ly, or adorn themselves with jewe rv.
Holes in rhe gloves, soiled collars, ill fit
ting or shabby boots, are a sure proof of a
slattern.
Avoid glaring contrasts in color, materi
al. or value. A rea< Ice shawl will look
badly over a calico dress.
The dress is n reflection of the mind 1 a

The Crops.
Nrw Orleans, July I.—The Cotton Ex
change Committee on Statistics and Infor
mation made a report upon the growing cot
ton and grain cfop. with dates from the
15th to the 25th of Junn. The following
is a summary 1 In Mississippi, the cotton
reduction of acreage is twpfity to tsronty
five per «*ent., with nn average of half to
three quarters the yield of last year per
acre. The corn acreage has been increased
twenty-five to forty per cent. The latest
reports indicate a short yield per acre.

Fr.a tb and Forgery —The Washington

the Radicals in their eff .rts to Involve the
Southern pe pie in tr<>uh'e That paper
says isl Ifs is-Ue ttf June 30: *To Senator
Pool, of North Carolina, belong* thp dis
credit of having first presented to Ihe Doited
oMi'es a paper purporting to be the petition
of 1.500 cit zens of Wilmington, which was
deliberately fabricated by his partisans
there, a'd was never nigned by any of the
persons whosa names were thus used. This
fraud was detected bv Senator Thurman,
who, upon examining the paper, found nil
the signatures in the handwriting of two or
three persons. An attempt was made by
P ail to counteract the effect of this expos
ure. by certificates from the parties, who
aileged they hud signed f<»r negroes at a
publ tc meeting, and Who bad requested their
names to be written. But this sec >n(f fraud
was exploded like the other, in two Ways ;
first, by the handwriting of the men
who made the ceftificates. which differed
entirely with that of any nf the signatures
to the petition, and next, by the fact, that it
was a physical impossibility, for otic man
to have signed 1.5U0 names during the time
of the public metting This example now
seems to have been imitated in a pretended
petition, sent to the President from Fayette
county, Ala., which is nearly all in thesame
♦'andwriting, and was evidently concocted
hy some Radical rogue, who took this wav
of manufacturing opinion. There is one
striking fact about all this ‘outrage’ busi
ness, come from what quarter it may.

Mr. Clay struck his long, bonv finger

had you lost it before?” inquired Mr. Clay.
“Since,” said the man.
“Then turn the sound side of tour face to

What a man Made by Staring at a
Lady.—A beautiful and wealthy young
iady, at a social party, took offense at What
she supposed to be the impertinent gaze of
a gentleman present, who was a stranger
to her, but a friend of the house. The
young beauty demanded his expulsion as a
condition of her remaining. Explanations
ensued. The gentleman was not looking at
her. “though beautiful enough to attract
nnd fasten the attention of any one.” He
was looking nt a fine and costly chain that
encircled the fair one's neck—just such a
one as he had purchased fir his sister—in
one of the links of which (having a secret
opening) he had put his photograph. But
s me months since, and before he had an
opportunity to present it to his sister, it
was stolen from him. Upon examining the
lady's chain he touched a spring (to the
little beauty Unknown) and 10, and behold 1
there was his photograph.
I leave you tojudgo of the confusion of
the fair one. She immediately offered to
return the piece of jewelry, which was po
litely declined for the time, and it is said
by knowing ones that she has concluded
to accept of the young man’s hand and
heart, in order that being the possessor of
the one she may be permitted to retain the
other. It is but justice to remark that the
young lady bought the chain cf a traveling
pedier, who had stopped at her father’s
house, for about one half of its original cost.

Clover in M .nr e Uocntt.—Col. Oeo.
W. Adams brought us, yesterday, two sam
ples of clover, cut fiom patche* in the town
of Forsyth. One of the second cutting this
year was three feet nine inches nnd a frac
tion long. Another specimen, from a third
cutting, this year, was only four inches
shorter. Tbi* clover was sown last Octo
ber. with a crop of barley, and is the growth
ot the high upland upon which the town of
Forsyth is located. Such results are truly
wonderful, but we must allow that they
are, in great, part, due to the extraordinary
humidity of the season, which has been
specially favorable to the grasses. Bat
were we to set duwn fifty p«»r cent, to the
credit of an unusually favorable season,
still enough would be left to show that
Monroe county may easily have such clover
fields as few sections of the United St«'*s
ean exhibit. Mr. Adams says that Mr.
Lumpkin will, in a few days, give his clov«
cr fields a second cutting, ad promises os
the fesult in weight of dried forage to the
acre. —Telegraph and Messenger.
