The summer rose the sun has flushed
With crimson glory may be sweet—
’Tis sweeter when its leaves are crushed
Beneath the winds’and tempest® feet.
The rose thafwaves upon its tree,
In life, sheds perfume all around—
More sweet the perfume floats to me
Of rotes trampled on the ground.
The wavering rose, with every breath
Scents, carelessly, the summer air—
Thu wounded rose bleeds forth in death
A sweetness far more rich and rare.
It is a truth beyond our ken.
And yefra truth that all may read—
It is with roses as with men:
The sweetest hearts are those that
Llccd.
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out ot a heart all full of grace,
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the cross became its base.
TOUCHING LETTER.
Dear Sarah: Darling John Is.dcad!
My heart is very sore;
I have the sweetest mourning suit,
Just come from Stewart's store.
Ah! well our loss is but his gain-
insurance covers all—
No more I hear his touching voice,
Ilis footsteps in the hall.
Mv dress is trimmed with real lace,
We had four doctors here:
They called it softening of the brain;
My bounet is a dear.
I know your empathy is mine;
My heart string is'almost broke
‘Dear wife, my fortuuc will be vours,’
Were the last woids lie spoke.
I wear my hair done “Pompadour, 1
And so do all the “ton,”
Upon his tomb these words shall be,
“IIic jacet, dearest John.”
I’ve kept a lock of precious hair,
His bank-books and the will,
By which he left me all his wealth,
In railroad, bank and mill.
There's a balm in Gilead, I know,
Ami 1 may And relief;
Please send the latest fashions to
Your friend in deepest grief.
ONLY A VIOLET.
It is only a violet, faded and old,
That has quietly slipped from the let
ter I hold.
But it whispers of something I used to
know,
When somebody placed it there long
ago- •
When the letter was sent with its
freight of love.
While an earnest prayer went up
above,
And I, in a busy city, fur away;
Was loving her always, night and day.
But that was so very long ago,
And time works ebauges, as we all
know;
It may be she has forgotten quite
The loving words that she used to
write,
But this poor little flower is plcadin;
here
the past, and the things that once
were dear,
And the love iu my heart, like the vio
let's breath,
Though crushed and forgotten, can
’er know death.

described by ft careful observer. Not

room, energetically darning stockings,
and soon after 6he appeared in tli
kitchen and Assisted that wonderin,
dame in making and baking bread
il pastry. Alatmcd by these fear-
sigtii pf intellectual disorder her
fond parents lmuioai&tjy gpnt f or
a skiliful physician, viio watched her
through a key-hole while she sewed
buttons on her father's gaiments and
mended those of her little brother.—
Much affected the vcncrabic jnau re
marked th.it never, during n medical
practice of twenty-live years, l.ad he
kuown any young person to manifest
such symptoms as these.
The most heartrending pka;e of all,
however, was shown the other day.
when her kind father, with a faint
hope ot arousing her from her sad
stale, gave her t’.yo hundred dollars
and told her to buy a new area*.—
Alas! *t\vas useless. She instantly
observed that she didn't need a new
dress, aud if bo would let her keep
twenty-five dollars to pay a pner wid-
rcut, she'd much rather he would
take the rest of the money for himself.
few ruomeuts that gricf-strick-
en old gentleman gazed upon his hap-
child, then hiding his face r mut
tered between bis sobs:
“ Her mind is gone! Her mind is

What a pity so few lose their minds
that way.

Old “Rough and Ready."
The Burial Place of Zachary
Taylor.' 04
4g
Between five and six miles from tHt
city, on an obscure neighborhood road
a quarter of a mile from the Browns^
boro road, rest the remains of the
twelth President of the United States
—Zachary Taylor—whose name waa
upon all lips, and whose praises sound-'
cd from one end of the country to the
other. The grave is the northeast
corner d! the Taylor farm, and it is
mortifying to relate that it if in a sadlv
neglected condition — under brush
weeds and ailantus trees rendering it
very diflicull of access. No monu
ment has ever been erected to Gen.
Taylor’s memory. The remains lie
there in a plain vault built in the side
ot a bill, with a marble slab over the
door bearing the inscription:
: ’ * z! TAYLOR, ’ :
: Born Nov. 24, 1784. : .
: Died July 9,1850. !
The service rendered by this brave,
good natnred old soluier, deserve mon
umental recognition. A gentleman
who recently visited tlic grave said to
a reporter of this paper: As I stood
there with head uncovered, ray mind
1 everted to boyhood days, and I re
membered a solemn furneral cortege
at Philadelpbi, the city in mourniug,
public buildiugs and private residences
draped in black, a hush all over the
city, sadness depicted in every face,
for «rcat brave, old Gen. Taylor was
dead. The whole nation iu fact mourn
ed his loss. Twenty-three years after
this I find myself at his grave near
Louisville, and am impressed with the
fact that the nations dead arc soon
forgotten. •
The place does indeed appear for-
gotlon. A stoue wall encloses the lit
tle grave-yard, and a rusty and
used iron gate trowns upon the visitor.
It evidently has not been opened for
years. Col. Richard Taylor is buried
to the right of Gen. Taylor. An obe-
Hsk, eighteen feet high, is erected
over his grave, bearing the inscription;
“Col. Richard Taylor, a soldier of the
Revolutionary war, and a native 01
Orange couuty, Virginia; born April
3,1744; died Jan. 19 1829.
Col. Taylor came to this State while
his son Zachary; was an infaut, and
settled on the plantation where he is
now buried.

The South Georgia Fair.
We had the pleasure, on Friday the
12th, of spending a few hours
pleasant little city ol Thomasville ;
where it was our pleasure to make the
acquaintance of Col. W. J. Young, ol
the Young Female College, and O. D.
•Scott, ol the Fletcher Male Institute,
both of whom are very pleasant and
interesting gentlemen, and well worthy
the high positions they occupy. These
gentlemen informed us that their re
spective institutions were in a prosper
ous condition, and only lack a little
more material, of which this county
has much, and of which we should
supply to our home institutions ; and
as 'ihoinasvillc is comparatively at
door, we see no good reason why
she should not reasonably expect
much support from Mitchell county,
both for her male and female Colleges.
We also had a short interview with
Col. A. 1*. Wright, president ot the
South Georgia fair, who is satisfied of
the most brilliaut success at the ap
proaching Fair, with winch the ellbrts
of the people interested iu the Fair,
have ever met,
Our pconic should remember that
the South Georgia Fair is not a coun
ty matter, that the citizens of Thomas
county are not alone iulerested in the
grand enterprise, but that wc should
feel quite au interest in the success of
the Fair, aud should take an active
part.
Caunot, will not many of our people
bestir themselves, and compete for
sonic of the many magnificent prizes
come oil’on the 4th of November next?
Wc hope to hear of some of our Mitch
ell people bearing otT the palm. \V 1
predict for Thomasville a bright fu
tuic, and it will all ha Qyyius to the en
(crprisc of her citizens and those ster
ling journals, the Times and Enter
prise published in that city; lor noth
ing will more enhance the interest of
any people tii.yn $ well conducted pa

can boast of one of the best Job Offices
in South Western Ga., that of the
Times’ connected with these two ex
cellent weekly (tapers.

of which we have before spokca; aud

A Grateful Editor.
The editor of the Philadelphia Dis
patch has been made tbe happy re
cipient of some interesting reading
matter, and he very properly expresses
his thanks thusly:*
We owe our thanks to Judge Kelley
for the last Patent office report. We
already’ have sixteen hundred of these
interesting volumes in our little libra-
_ but trey have been read and re
read so many times, that we know ev
ery page of them by heart. This new
volume came opportunely and grate
fully on Christmas morning, aud that
night we gathered our little family
around the lire and read it through to
them. Tbe affected tale, entitled "Im
provement in Monkey Wrenches,*’
seemed to touch every heart, and we
came to the climax ot the little story
about the “Reversible Pie-boards'*
there was not a dry eye between the
front door and tbe stable. During tbc
reading of the piteous narrative enti
tled “Gum Washers for Carriage
Axles,” the whole family gave expres
sion to boisterous emotion, aou tbe
hired girl was so much excited that
she lost her presence of miud, and
went around to her mother’s inadvert
ently with six pounds of totter and a
kettle full of dour, and cam* home at
midnight intoxicated. We can never
sufficiently thank Mr. Kelly for inno
cent enjoyment thus furnished us.—
The memory of that evening will lin
ger in our minds very much longer
lhau the hired girl ever lingers, when
she lights on a lot of substances which
she thinks will suit the constitution of
her aged parent*:
The editor of the Baltimore Gazette
after years of experience, says: “A
woman it like tar; only melt tier and
•he will take any form you please.”
Editor Constitution ; I am tdld
that during my absence, an article
was transferred to 'your columns, re
flecting upon the University Publish
ing Company, aud paid for by a rival
enterprise.
Of the allusions to myself I shall
take no notice. 1 have something to
say, however, of this compauy with
which I au associated, anil as you
have, unintentionally, doubtless, doue
the long list of Southern gentlemen
interested in this company the wrong
of giving circulation to such an article,
I trust you will perceive the justice ot
making equally public tbc statements
I mve below:
First—This movement has been in
dorsed by our people, from Gen. Lee
down, with a unanimity and an ethu-
siasm never before equaled probably,
save by that created by the war. it
would be strange if it were otherwise.
Second—The stockholders number
at present. I believe, 300. Ot these all
are representative men of the South,
except thirteen ; and among these
thirteen are Cyrus U. McCormick, a
Virginian, now ot New York, who
60 liberally endowed General Lee's
college, and several others of South
ern birth and education. Atnoug the
300 Southern stockholders are ex-
Piesideut Davis, Gen. Joseph E. John
ston, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Ewell,
Gen. Hood, Gen. Hays, Gen. Buckuer,
Goo. Tayloi, Gen. Lee, eldest
son of R. E. Lee. Gen. Lawton, Gen.
Gilmer, Gen. Colquitt, Gen. Wilcox,
Gen. Bate, Gen. John C. Brown, Gov
ernor elect of Tennessee, Generals
Maney, Polk, Sorrel, Clanton, Mr.
Sodden, late Secretary of War of the
Confederate States, and many of the
most prominent ex-Governors and
Governors of the South, liishops. Rail
road and Bank Presidents, clergy,
teachers, Icadiug planter*, merchants,
Lawyers, physicians, &c.
Third—The object of the organiza
tion is to lid the South of the school
books which are obnoxious to South
ern sentiment, aud to furnish, as it lias
succeeded in doing, books of the high
est merit
Fourth—The authors of tho hooks,
are Profs. Jolm and Joseph LcContc,
formerly of the University of Georgia
and South Carolina; Col, Richard
Johnson, oue of Georgia's most dis
tinguished teachers, now at the head
of Penn Lucy Institute, near Balti
more; Col. Charles Venable. Profess
or of Mathematics in the University
of Virginia, and during the war Gen
Lee’s staff officer; Prof Qilderslccve,
Professor of Greek in the University
of Virginia, and who during the war
was severely wounded while serving
uj>on my stafft Dr. Holmes, of the
University of Virginia, Protcsoor ot
Literature and History; Prof. Sachtlc-
ben, of the University of South Caro
lina, aud Com. M* F. Maury, the
greatest probably of liviug okouma-
rilERS, and during the war of the

So much for its status as aSputhern
institution.
The company owns no publishing
house, no presses or binding establish
ment. I» prints and binds by contract
the work being done wherever it is
done cheapest und best. As the lowest
bids are made by New York, and that
city furnishes superior facilities to any
other, the books arc printed ant! bound
ilierc at pocsent, as are nearly all our
Southern books.
L is the purpose of the company
ntually to build up its own publish-
house 12 some .Southern city, which
is to be done as soon as practicable;
but it would requite, to do this ou a
scale to meet the demand already cre
ated for these hooks, a vast amount of
capital, eudanger the success of the
enterprise, and make the books Itiyhcr
priced. True political economy, as
well as patroilism, demand that the
books be published so as to make them
cheapest for the thousands of the
Southern children who consume them.
They are tho many - the manufactu
rers are the few. The true interests,
therefore, of the company, and of the
country so far as the couutry U Interes
ted in, it is to continue for the piescnt,
the contract plan of publishing.
These arc the facts as to the compa
ny, its stockholders, its pur|M>ses, books
authors, mode of publication, etc. and
these are made public only in answer
to attacks made upon it. Tbu compa :
ny prefers to co-oporate with all sirni*
liar efforts, and it put iu collision with
such, it will be only in defense.
Its success is without a parallel in
this country, the hearts ot the people
are iu it, and public atteution cannot
be diverted from the patriotic purpo
ses in view by attacks, upon individu
als or the place of publishing. The
books their effect upon the minds and
hearts and. characters of Southern
childrep—this i; t^c great question.
The efforts to raise other ic*ues aie
puerile, weak and frivolous. As well
oppose upon similiar grounds, the
works of John C. Calhoun or the great
history of Alexander H. Stephens.
Respectfully, ‘
John U. Gordon.

A Married Man Tries to Carry
Two Wash Tubs, a Wash-
Board and a Wash-Stand at
Once.
There is an important difference in
Monday among those families who do
their own washing. The way of ob
serving it is very similar. The first
thing is to get the man up au * hour
earlier tbau usual to get dowu the
boiler. We don't understand why a
boiler is kept on the shelf where no
body but himself can reach it. But
perhaps it is not intended we should
understand it. Having got down the
boiler aud token his place at the table,
and pronounced grace with a benevo
lent aspect, he is called into the kitch
en again to lift the boiler on the stove.
He finds it lull ot water aud weighing
about three-quarters of a ton, but he
siuks bis teeth into his lips, lays his
eves out ou his checks, and accom
plishes the task. Alter breakfast,
which is eaten hastily, and front a ta
ble that is garnished with a bar of
soap, a package ofstarch.and a bluing
bag, he is seut dowu to the cellar tiller
the tubs, wash-board, bench, etc. lie
puts both tubs together aud the wash
board inside, with a view to avoid
coining down stairs again although be
has beeu for years giving practical de
monstration that those things can't be
carried at one time. But ho grasps
the insido of the tubs with oue arm
and starts for the stairs. No one who
has not tried it can begin to under
stand the amount of circumspection
required to engineer a wash-tub and
wash-bench up the same stairway at
the same time. lie kuows it, but there
is an undyiugdiopc iu his breast that
there is a way to accomplish it aud he
starts. Before reaching the stairs the
tubs slide around and board slips out.
He thinks at first that he will put his
heel on it and split it in two, but
changes his mind, sets down tbc
things, and replaces the board. Then
he starts again, and wheu he has got
as tar up the stairway as he can with
out proceeding sideways, he turus the
tubs to the frout, but as bis hold ou
them had been gradually yielding all
the while, he fiuds they are so low they
strike the stair, aud iu an effort to
raise them the bench gives, and to
save that he loses in part his hold on

ing exhausted his endurance and
reach in getting it that fur, finds him
self completely powerless to lift it over
the obstruction. It lias growu very
warm in the last minute, and his
breath comes very short and quick,
and it seems us if tlic arm which holds
the tubs will soon drop off at the
shoulder aud leave him a cripple for
life, aud at Ibis juncture ‘
loosens and commence* to slip nud
threaten trouble. lie presses his arm
all the tighter to the inside tub. and
to get his ktioe up against the
outside one, but it is too lute. There
squirm or two, nud then it is over.
The outside tub is down with the wash
board, having accomplished the trij
with a noise that is almost deafening
The other tub follows at once, being
urged thereto by a kick that nearly
throws him from his feet, and tie
getting the door open he shoves L..
bench into the kitchen and clear
the room, to the apparem
jeopardy of tin; legs of tho eutire tauii
ly. After that he gets up the ol he J
things—makirg no remarks to any
body, hut looking around on every out
in a manner calculated t j reflect the
greatest amount of discredit. Then
he puts ou his coat rubs his arms, an-
starts clown the street and get** out o
the walk, when he is called hack t
bring up some wood. If that woo
was in the shape of a burial casket it
is extremely dliftbtful if be could hav
looked more solemn in taking it up
stairs. At noon he corals home to
dinner and finds only one leaf up, the
table-cloth in the wash, and that bis
wife hat cut the bread after cutting
the soap. Wlmt commcuts he con
templates making ou this state of at
fairs arc never made. He is seut out
in the yard armed with a clothes line,
and au injunction to not drop it iu the
dirt, and in t!\c scclOiiou of the space
devoted to the back yard l»c vents the
spleen that has been gathering within
him, aud whips that clothes line
around with sardonic joy. After that
he come j iu with his teeth together,
and lifts two tubs full of water to tl:
floor, and theu goes into the bed-room
aud puts on a pair of dry pants and
grimly cats his dinuer. It may occur
to him that there is no difference iu
this Monday from auv that has pre
ceded it but he can't help but wonder
wh«%t kind of misery that is which
comes every time so fresh and formid
able as to appear entirely new.—Da.

IVlwt Men Need Wive* for.
It is not to sween the house, and
make tbc bed, and darn socks, and
cook the meals, chiefly that % man
wants a wife. If this is ail he needs
hired help can do it cheaj»er than a
wife. If Ltiis is all, when a youngman
calls to see a young lady, send him
into the pantry to taste the bread and
cakes she has made; send him to in
spect the needle work and bed-mak-
, or put a broom into her hand aud
send him to witness its use. Such
things are iruj*oit&nt, and tbe wise-
young man will quickly look after
them.
But wbat the true man wants of a
true wile is her companionship, sym
pathy, courage and love. Tbc wav

aken with misfortune ; he meets with
failure and defeat; trials and tempta
tions beset him, and he needs one to
stand by and sympathize. He han
some stern battles to fight with pover
ty, with enemies, and with sin; aud he
Leeds a woman that, while be puts his
arms around her and feels that he has
something to fight for, will help him
fight; that will put her lijit to his ear
and whisper words of counsel, ami her
hand to bis heart and impart new as
pirations. All ihfough life, through
storm anjJ through sunshine, conflict
and victory, through ml verse and fa
voring winds, man needs a woman's
love. Tbe heart yearns for iL A sis
ter’s or a mother's love will hardly
supply the need.
Yet many seek for nothing more
than success in house work, lastly
enough, half of these get nothing
more; the other half, saprised-above
measure, hare gotten more than they
sought Their wives surprise Ibem by
bringing a nobler idea ot marriage,
and disclosing a treasury of courage,
