Some sing because the music in them
Must find a voice ;
And some because their happy fate
Fftjn would rejoice;
And others look to golden heights
Who know their power
Whilst sadder souls singlmt to stay
Life’s troubled hour.
Twice blest the poet who can put
In song sublime
The golden though us that stir his mind
In summer prime;
What matter if or joy or pain
llis steps attend,
The path he treads with sunshine bl ight
Ur shadows blond.
He sees beyond life’s chequered way i
An t rie high ;
| Earth’s passing flowers, its poor desires J
He stoops not nigh ;
! His fairy gilt of bird-like song
A joyous dower,
lie quails not at earth's threat'ning clouds |
Nor dreads their power.

arr- at her living'steps, Imt checking him
self, he rat down in his chair, and picked i
up a ps.pi r to hide behind it his agonized
j face.
Tlie girl’s voni face- reproached more '
I Uian one person in the room for their I
‘ imkimlneus.
The gas hau just Let n lighted in Mr. !
Delano’s study, and lonely he sat, before j
i liis glowing grate thinking of the past, ,
recalling the beautiful wife he so cruelly j
deserted, and the sweet babe he made j
; fatherless. In the bitterness of his re
! morse he cried aloud :
Mona, my wife ! my darling! Thou
i wast the torch of hope aud truth and
j love to guide me happily to this goaj j
of time. How wretched I am. I sink
under my iniquity, and the memory of
I thy tenderness and love. Oh Mona !
pardon thy unhappy husband !”
Hearing a noise in the room, and care
lessly rising to S“e what caused it, he
stood face to face with Mona. “J. have
not. a home or a friend, she sadly said,
so I have come to you.”
“Yon are welcome, .Miss Egbert.,” he
said, “but you loot: sick, allow mo to
place you a chair.” But she waived
him hack. “No,” she said almost sternly.
“I will not bo seated until you have
heard my story. Will you listed to it,?’
With courtly grace, he bowed, and she
commenced her recital, looking him
calmly in the face aud firmly pronounc
ing every word.
“My father deserted my mother when
1 was an infant. Taking me in her arms
she wan lered all over the Mouth, seeking
iier cruel husband. At, last she traced
him to this city. Bo she came here and
after six years of fruitless search died
from slow starvation,*and a broken heart.
Through the kindness of Doctor St.
I Clair and h;s brother I have been cared
for and educated. My life has been very
I joyless, but quite bearable until the last
| week, and almost, in despair J have come
1 to the only person whose right it is to
j shelter me- —my Father.”
I Bhe ceased, but her eyes never wnmlor
!ed from the face of her father. Panting
i and palid he gazcl at the woman with
eyes bright and wild.
“Proofs,” he said, “give them to me.”
The words were almost gaspingly
spoken.
She drew from her pocket a small box
aud raised the lid. In it was a ring, a
miniature, and an old yellow letter.
These she placed in his baud. Ho mere
ly glanced at the letter and ring, but
grasped the picture with apparently
I palsy-shaken hands. He touched a spring

'he gazeftat the lovely X.-a jaud then with a
great cry of agony, Ife-j*d his partially
grey head, upon his dr,)., liter's shoulders.
With her soft arms. Baa encircled the
sorrow-blanched head. uid bowed her
face until her cheekt* icsted upon the
half white locks. The act was one of
loving sympathy.
After a while he bees 'ip more compos
ed, and sitting down .) a sofa he drew
his daughter to hi. -r«do, and looked .
tenderly into her beantLtl face.
“My daughter,’!

i A haughty woman swept into flic study,
! with costly l'obes mid flashing jewels
j noticing Mona. She asked Mr. Dolan
why lie had been absent fr ijn supper.
I “Horteuse,” he quietly (aid, “1 have !

j plied, and the mistress of this litmv.c.” j
i With a glance of scorn lhj turned from
; her, and taking Mona's hand escorted her
, to the door of her bedchamber.
{ Was Mona happy now that wealth,
! luxury and position were hers. Ah, no !
| as fibe laid her throbbing heart upon her
j luxurious pillow, and looked at her
j elegant apartment, she drew her hand
j across her tired eyes, ami her sweet lips
! murmured “gone from me, gone from
! me.”
CONCLUSION.
“There is no place like home,” said
Doctor St. Clair,as he unexpectedly
walked into the sitting-room about two
days after Mona's departure, llis hand- '
some face was full of brightness and ;
hejjaileetioUiitely kissed the female part
of the family, and coidiully shook hands i
with Edward. After talking awhile, the j
Doctor glanced around the room as j
though he missed something.
“Where is Mona ?” he asked.
“She is gone,” said Miss Anna, in a !
cold, constrain' and voice.
“Gone!” said the Doctor. “I suppose ,
lo give a music lesson. AVlian will she I
return ?”
“Never,” said his wife.
With a start, he rose from his chair, j
walked up to Edward and placed his
hand on his arm.
“Edward,” ho said sternly, “Is this
true ?”
“It is,” said Edward sadly.
“Where is she gone ?”
“To live with that villain, Delano,” j
replied Edward.
“Poor girl!’’ said the Doctor, “she j
must have required, indeed, a shelter, to j
ask him to take her in. This thing must j
be explained,” ho said sternly. “Who
drove that girl away from here ?”
“Do not speak of her, brother,” said j
Miss Anna, “she is unworthy.”
“But I will speak of her,” said the j
doctor quickly, “and I want to know the
cause of her leaving.”
“J suppose it must have been love,”
said Mrs. St. Clair.
“Love!” said tlie Doctor sarcastically,
“very little love she bore him. Why, 1
have heard her say, that she would
almost die befu. he would ask the pro
tection of her father. ,Horace Delano.
“Her father !” cried Miss Anna and !
Mrs. St. Clair. Edward sat like one
changed to marble.
“Yes,” continued the Doctor, “The
good for notlung father deserted his wife
and child many years ago, and his poor
wife died from slow starvation. 1 promis
ed Holla’s dying mother to ever he her
friend, and shield her from nnkiudness,
and how wretchedly have I kept my word.” i
Quite overcome he buried his face in
his hands. When he looked up he was
startled by the fixed gaze of his brother’s
eyes, his colorless cheeks, and the un
accustomed sadness which his face be
trayed.
“Edward,” the Doctor said, softly
touching him, “are you unwell V”
“Yes,” Edward hoarsely replied, “sick
unto death. Listen. Robert, by our
harshness v. <s drove that poor orphan—
lovely, angelic Mo tin—from this house
out into the chilly twilight streets, and
she, at the best, was but an invalid.
God ! 'when I recall her pale, wan face,
as slio stood before us the night she left,
pleading for our trust, and invoking the
blessings of heaven upon us, the remem
berrance almost drives me mad, for Hove
her better than Ido my own soul.’’ lie
weui to his room and locked himself in.
There he remained severalbyiirs, packing
his trunk, and preparing everything, as
though he was going on a long journey.
Dressing himself carefully, lie went
out into the street, and, after a little hes
itation, ascended the steps of Mr. Dela
no's residence and rang- the bell.
The lmtier admitted him, ushered him
into the parlor, and retired with his
■ard. At' v a short lapse of time the
man return; 1 and requested Edward to
accompany him to (he study, slating that'

Shaking hands with Edward, Mr. De
lano loft the room.
“Wo are about to be parted, Mona,’’
Edward said, “ami it may lie forever.
Will you not say, ‘I forgive you !’ Re
meu.b r my blighted youth. Let not
your reproach, with my own, creep,
henceforth, like serpents, in my soul, to
make my future wretched.”
“1 shall always remember your kind
ness to the poor ‘Orange Girl,’ ” said
! Mona.
“You have both my forgiveness and
j gratitude.”
j “But not your love, Mona ? You will
i not give that back to me ?”
1 She did not reply.
“It is but just,” ho said softly. “So
my lost darling, it is useless to prolong
this agony. Good bye.
! Ho pressed her hands to his lips and
| walked to the door.
“Stay! Edward, stay!” she cried.
I A moment, he was at her feet, and her
! arms were around liis neck.
[ “You will not go to Europe,” she
! whispered. “Stay with me.”
“Not without your love,” he answered.
So it came about in this wise that the
journey was postponed, and in less than
a mouth Mr. Delauo's elegant mansion
was thrown open for a grand reception.
The rooms were adorned with the rar
est flowers. The supper tables were la
den with the most costly viands.
The elite and beauty of New Orleans
were assembled there. Bright eyes ri
valled Ibr many diamonds that flashed
and sparkled in the gaslight.
Among the guests were Doctor St.
Clair, and Miss Anna, his sister. The
latter looked handsome and almost
young, in her black velvet and diamonds.
Horteuse Delano, in spite of the few
white hairs in her black braids, looked
very beautiful. She had on her favorite
dress of crimson satin, and looked like
some tragedy queen expect her eyes,
whose expression partially exhibited
disappointin' at, and baffled hate.
And last, the observed of all swept
through the rooms, in snowy bridal
robes, the star of the evening—-beauti
ful, pure-hearted “Mona, the Orange
girl.”
The political economist arc some of
them tolerably reliable, but the sohool

THE CYCLONES.
A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE
GREAT SCOURGE.
PROFESSOR BhoFN ON THE I,ATE TORNADO.
Special Correspoiuleiice. of the At. Herald.
Griffin, GaT, May 7, 1875.
Upon the special request of the Con
vent iou of the Teachers of Georgia,
Prof. Leli. Broun, of the University of
Georgia, made the following remarks
upon the subject of the recent cyclones
that have devastated Georgia :
Whenever we are unable to account
sos any occurrence beyond the range of
the ordinary in nature, we are accus
tomed to say it in t he result of electricity.
Wind is eh eti'lcilv ? Many of those who
flippantly use the mime would be unable
to answer the question. Electricity is
produced by the falling pf rain ; by the
' changing of air to vapor, by the change
of vapor to rain ; by the multiform phys
ical changes that occur upon Hie surface
of our globe. We see the evidence of
! ilnsistence in the flash that leaps from
cloud to cloud, and illuminates creation
by the blaze of its intolerable glory. We
see the proof of its existence in the holt
1 that shivers to atoms the magnificent
forest, king, leaves in ruins the struc
ture that boasts to be the result of the
! architectural art of ages.
Electricity has nothing whatever to do
i with these cyclones.
It had been reported that the transit
. of Venus had caused these atmospheric
disturbances. These troubles wore
caused by the unequal distribution of
I heat upon the surface of the earth. To
any one,having the slightest idea of the
relative size of the Hun and the planet
Yen ns, to say nothing of the compara
tive influence, of the source of all heat,
and a body that is not even self-lumi
nous, it would be liardiv nee, ss’ary today
that, the idea is absurd. Venus has no
more, to do with those ilistnrlßuces than
tiie amours of the fabled goddess whose
name elm bears.
To give the si in pies* illustration : Sup
pose a circular sheet of witter to bo cov
ered by ,i surface of iron* precluding alt
j escape, save at one small orifice. Sup
pose an iinnietiso‘pressure to bo applied
upon this iroß‘ surface. • Common souse
would loach that this wnt. l would h^ym
smMtr.oss of ttm ovtn®!.
. is covered with a stratum of atmosphere
which may be taken for all practical pur
! poses to be forty-live miles in thickness.
; lu tile equatorial regions, where the so
lar heat is greatest, the atmosphere lie
oomes unified and consequently lighten
'd and rises upward. A partial vacuum
.is necessarily produced. The air from
j the polar regions moves iu to supply the
deficiency or partial vacuum. Were the
' earth stationary, a current would lie pro
duced from the North polo to the equa
tor, and from the Houth pole toward the
j equator. For the sake of simplicity we
; will only consider the Northern hemis
phere iu which we live. Wore the earth
stationary, the current would he due
North to Houth, but the earth moves
from West to east and consequently the
current is bent out of its natural course
; into a North West wind. The ratified
anil lightened air rises anil begins to flow
back toward the North pole. These two
currents must be opposed to each other,
and whenever two winds of approximate
ly equal force meet there must lie a ro
i tury motion.
About the time of the cyclones that
l swept across Georgia, an area of low Ba
rometer was reported at the Signal Office
j in Washington, extending from south
j west to north-east. Above or north of
this area was mi area of high pressure,
j Below or south was another area of high
pressure. Thus this area of low pres

areas of high pressure were superim
posed, mid the added weight resting up
on the lower stratum of air produced a
tendency to rise upward at the jaunt of
loast resistance. These from all direc

I would therefore move towards this vacn-

when we consider the apparently im

counters the northwesterly current which
carries it forward with great velocity in
the prevailing direction northeast.
The phosphovesent appearance of the

mere nceomjianimenta of the cyclone and

companying phenomena of rain and hail
are accounted for on the simplest natural
principles that need not be enumerated
here. From the tremendous momentum
of huge bodies of air rushing toward a
common centre with an awful power to

CIVIL JtfGHTS.
AN EX-PRESIDENT —A NOTED EDITOR AND
A FAMOUS LAWYER EXPELLED FROM A
NEGRO CAR.
On the upward bound train 011 the Macon
and Western division of the Central rail
road from Griffin yesterday, were the
Hon. A. H. Stephens, CoL Clisby, of the
Macon Tube/ ph, anil flint fine old
gentleman, Col. Oinciniiatus Peejiles, of
this city. As is usual with Mr. Stephens,
lie took what he thought the seoond class
car, so that he could indulge in his
pipe and conversation without offense to
any one. Everything went pleasant
enough, because nobody thought any
thing was wrong. Pretty soon an old
blind negro man, with his wife, entered
the ear and seated themselves. Nothing
was thought of this proceeding, mid the
Yice-l’resident, editor mid lawyer were
in iking themselves as comfortable aa the
0 initition of that road would permit. It
was noticed that the ear iu question was
of new finish, handsomely upholstered
and very neat. The surprise of the
whole party may be imagined when the
conductor came along aud very plainly
told these distinguished gentlemen that
they must get out., as that car was provid
ed solely for colored people, and white
folk.-; were not permitted to ride there.
Then the “Great apd>Mr.
(M%lsd,eo„fnsqd. \ Mr. Stephens,
:i IwWwpmf to ithf ei.iiAgiiil'iby, looked
monstrous wise at Mr. Clisby and Gil.
I’eejiles, and scratching liis head skid :
“Well, Clisby, I have lived a long time ;
I have always endeavored to tote fair
with 1113’ follow-man ; I pay my honest
debts, aud I love my country, but I never
expected to witness this scene.
Mr. Clisby replied that God, iu His
II isorut.il ile widsom and kindness, hail
permitted him to live oat the time allott
ed to most men ; that lie had successful
ly conducted oue of the best daily jiapers
iu Georgia for years ; that his conscience
was clear and his health good. He had,
by uniform good conduct and urbanity
of manner, won the respect aud esteem
of the entire southwest jiortion of the
State, but, now, at this late day, he was
forced to leave a car because he was not
e jnsiderod as good as a blind nigger.
Mr. Stejihens, who had at the first inti
mation, grabbed his crutches, and was
then making an abortive attempt to rise,
remarked to Col. Peeples, iu his peculiar
and feminine voice : “Gentlemen, you
know me. The world knows me. I have
been a most successful school-teacher,
and have attained some notoriety at the
bar. I have served my State in the
councils of the nation. I have been
Vice President of the Confederate
States States of America, the most bril
liant galaxy of confederated stars that
ever shone in the firmament of nations.
I have successfully “stood” twice for
Congress in my district, and am now on
nil errand of mercy, having been to Grif
fin to address the State Association of
Teachers. 1 have already paid my rai'-
roiul foie, and paid no attention to the
franking nnd mileage jjrivileges of Con
gress; but this is the first time I was
evir called on to vacate a car because I
am not considered as good as a negro.
“Come, come,” said the conductor, I
have no time to listen to sjieeches, you
ought to throw in aud lure a hall for
that purpose. This car has been set
apart for the colored folks, and white
peojile arc not permitted to ride in here.
Get out! Amt the poor crippled ex-
Presideut, the Macon editor aud Atlanta
lawyer were incontinently hustled to the
rear car.
But after due reflection, Mr. Stephens
and Mr. Clisby aud Col. Peejiles each
and all decided it was right. The law,
in the first place, prescribes certain rales
and then the negroes pay full fare, and
the railroad authorities provide a first
class car especially for their accommoda
tion, and white people have no more
right there than the negro has to take
the car set apart for the white jieople.
And all this too, was Carried on when
the the two old negroes were sound
asleep and had not noticed, nor knew
anything of what was going on.
This arrangement of the Macon &
’Western road is right and proper, and
will tend to prevent any conflict on the
Civil Rights question. It is the best
practical solution of the working of the
Bill that has been made in this country,
aud whether or not Mr. Stephens, or Mr.
Clisby or Col. Peeples will enter suits for
damages under the provisions of the
Bill, it is evident that the Ceutral road
j does not intend to incur any damages so
! fur as the negro population is concerned
