Republican.] A REMARKABLE POEM. _ ■ From the throne of life eternal, From the home of love supernal, Where the angel feet make music over all the starry floor— Mortals, I have come to meet you, Come with words of peace to greet you, And to tell you of the glory that is mine for ever more. Once before I found a mortal Waiting at the heavenly portal— Waiting but to catch some echo from that ever opening door; Then I seized his quickened being, And through all his inward seeing, Caused my burning inspiration in a fiery flood to pour! Now I come more meekly human, And the weak lips of a woman Touch with fire from off the altar, not w ith burnings as of yore ; But in holy love descending, With her chastened being blending, I would fill your souls with music from the bright celestial shore. As one heart yearns for another, Asa child turns to its mother, From the golden gates of glory turn I to tiie earth once more, Where I drained the cup of sadness, Where mv soul was stung to madness, And life’s bitter, burning billows swept my burdened spirit o’er. Here the harpies and the ravens, Human vampires—sordid cravens, Preyed upon my soul and substance till I writhed in anguish sore; Life and I then seemed mismated, For 1 felt accursed and fated, Like a restless, wrathful spirit, wandering on the Stygian shore. Tortured by a nameless yearning, Like a frost-fire, freezing, burning, Did the purple, pulsing life-tide through its fevered channels pour, Till the golden bowl—life’s token— Into shining shreds was broken, And my chained and chafing spirit leaped from out its prison door. But while living, striving, dying, Never did my soui cease crying : “Ye who guide the fates and furies, give! oh ! give me, I implore, From the myriad hosts of nations— From the countless constellations — One pure spirit that can love me—one tiiat I, too, can adore!” Through this fervent aspiration Found my fainting soul salvation, For from out its blackened tire-crypts did my quickening spirit soar; And my beautiful ideal — Not too faintly to be real — Burst more brightly on Wiy vision than the fancy-formed Lfronore! ’Mid the surging seas she found the, With the billows breaking round me, And my saddened, sinking spirit in her arms of love upbore; Like a lone one, weak and weary, Wandering in the midnight dreary, On her sinless, saintly bosom brought me to the heavenly shore. Like the breath of blossoms blending, Like the prayers of saints ascending. Like the rainbow’s seven-liued glory, blend our souls for ever more ! Earthly love and last enslaved me, But divinest love bath saved me, And I know now. first and only, how to love and to adore. Oh ! my mortal friends and brothers, We are each and all another’s, And the soul that gives most freely from its treasure hath the more. Would you lose your life, you find it; And in giving love, you bind it, Like an amulet of safety in your heart for ever more! Miss Sarah Sawyer, a Quaker lady, d'ed receutly at Newbury, Massachu setts, in her 05th year, the oldest per sou iu town. She left a good estate, in the main the accumulation of her own industry and prudence. Ou ‘ the inventory of her personal property were one hundred sheets, one hundred chemi ses, one hundred pairs of hose, one hun dred gloves, with pillow cases, towels, napkins etc., to malcb, all of which she spun, wove and made with her own hands. Some of this immense stock has beeu in the house for seveuty years. “BALUS POPULX 3UPBEMA LEX EBTO.” NEWSPAPER MORTALITY. ITS CAUSE. ■ At the late annual Convention of the Press of Tcoocsscc, held at Chattanooga, Teun., on November 28th, Ira P. Jones, Esq., of the Nashville Union and Ameri can, delivered an address which was mainly devoted to the causes of the great mortality among newspapers. Of the position of the Press the elo quent gentleman says: Some time past it was held in other countries as the “Fourth Estate.” In this republic it is now held as the first, j In those the king, the clergy and the j bar preceded—in this the Press precedes. [ Whether rightfully or wrongfully, it does rank first. He then proceeds to show from slatis *ics that during the year 1871 one thou sand newspapers died—whether from fruity management or the waut of pa f rouage is not stated ; but the faot stands that one thousand newspapers, many of them with a fair capital and able stuff in all departments, were compelled to suspend publication. Mr. Jones gave it ash's opiuion that the mortality in 1872 would be fuliv as great if not greater. We give in his own language his no t’on of the greatest cause for this mor tality. He says: We establish an eleemosynary institu tion at our own expense. Wo keep a charity school on our own hook. We conduct business as if we owe every thing to the public, and the public ate not indebted to us a far.king. We preved upou by sharpera and the inno cents alike. We advertise gratuitously every week, when we should have the mo t v for it. The geeer; l public a;e end e'y igno'ant—p obably we our selves are not fully aware of the extent to which newspapers n-e burdened by this iiuid : ous dra'n uyou tlie'r resource. I ’. It insinuates i. ;e!f u every coaeeivaVe form. It does it through reporters, ! lirough agents, through correspondents, through editors, through business mamt r -T's, t hrough proprietors, and generally 100 wilh as much disadvaulage to the public as to the press. There is not a business, from the dispenser of ginger cakes and cider to (be la gest manufac tory, which will not advertise with you gratis—which "siil, if you listen to it, endeavor to convince you that it is your duty to the public to do so. There is not an aspirant for public station—and when I contemplate the numbers of these, I experience an over whelming sense of commingled amaze ment and disgust—from constable to the Senate of the Uulon, who does not conscientiously believe it to be the im perative duty of the press, daily and weekly, to speak, vrith a pen of telesco- ! pic power, of his microscopic deserving*. Even that army of stiollers,which iufest the country and people as a sort of visi- | laliou of Providence foF our iniqui'ies, from the street corner seller of p.ize candy or magic oil to the operatic cm- ! p.esc.rio, will expect you to write an iadciiiiile number of editorials on a three square advertisement inserted fo; five days, changeable daily, wiihoui charge ! We are jcqu'rcd to write up, urge up, and put through evc.y eulcr prhse. great or small, that seems to have a possible connection with the public. ; But we never hear of a share of stock, or of a dividend. The Church, the Stale, Commerce, Industry, Art, Inven tion and Humbug alike seem to regard the press as their servitors, and to he run aud sustained for their advantage. True happiness is of a retired nature, and an eDemy to pomp and Doises ; it arises, iu the first place, from the enjoy ment of one’s self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions. False happiness ren ders men stern and proud, and the hap piness is Dover communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sen sible, and that happiness is always shared. II $2 a year, in advance.

Pei*per—A California Story of a Telegraph Operator. The following story originated, we believe, with ti.t San Francisco Post. We give it in the words of the Califor nia writer: “Many amusing stories have been told of the festive freaks ef telegraph operators who, whenever afforded an opportunity for the display of their penchant for a good joke, rarely fail to improve it. Almost everybody has heard of the operator in an eastern city, who, on a hot summer day, desiring to borrow a chew of tobacco from one of his fel'ows in the same room, insicad of making known his request by word of mouth, chose what he deemed the least exausling measure of iuditiug a dispatch, which,traveling over a circuit of upwards of a thousand miles, in about two tnin ntes, reached the identical office whence it started, much to the snprise of the other chap, who blandly shied his to bacco box at the head of the irrepres sible jokist. “It often happens that telegraphers aje called into service at the represen tation of a stage play, in which occurs what is known as a ‘telegraph scene,’ such as the show iu Byron’s‘Across the Continent,’or BoucicaultVLongStrike,’ and it is then that the operator behind the scenes manages to amuse himself by ‘talking’ to the ‘fraternity’ in the audi ence, unknown, of course, to most of those present, who find no meaning in the click of the instrument. “As au evidence that the operators of our city are not behindhand in the mat ter of having their fun, the following is related of Jim , a well-knowu at tache of the Western Union : “During the theatrical season of last year the drama of ‘The Long Strike,’ was pronounced at oho of our theatres, and for the manipulation of the telgraph instrument, which plays an important part in the most important act of the play, Jim was engaged. “His position was such that he sould see the audience without being seen, aud when, upon taking his position, discover ing in the auditorium a brother opera tor from Memphis, by name Pepper— who had that day arrived in town —he determined to have a little sport on his own accouut. “Accordingly, when the time came for the sending of the first dispatch, Jim loudly sounded on his machine the words, “How are you, Pepper ?” “The quick professional ear of Pep per caught the words instantly, and wondering “who the duce it was,” straightened up and stared at the stage as if he would have given two dollars and a half to konw something more. “Pepper, how’s your mother ?” came from the instrument, and Pepper, thoroughly mystified, turned coufident- RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING * Sales of land, etc., ly Administrators, Esetutors, or Uuardians are required by lav to be bold on the first Tuesday in the month , between the hours qf ton in the forenoon and three in the ttflsr noon, at the court house in the county in which the property is situated.

Put your trust iu Provideuee, but keep your powder dry.’ “Those who appreciated the affair were much amused, and so, indeed, was the victim himself, when on the follow ing day he learned who bad so neatly captured him.” A law is asked for in England by which every railway passeDger detained fifteen minutes can recover double fare. “Meet me at the gate, love,” has been changed to “Meet me at the grate, love.” The 000 l weathernecessitated thechaDge. A foreign medical journal remarks that the most warlike nation in modern times is vaccination, because it is always in arms. Grief murmurs; &Dger roars; impa tience frets ; hut happiness, like a calm river, flows on in the quiet sunlight, without a ripple or a fall to mark the rushing on of time towards eternity. In speaking of a local debating socie ty, a country paper says: “Our village debating clubs are in lull blast, and ques tions that have engrossed the intellectual functions of sages ever since the flood are being decided at the rate of two a week.” A lady with a very inharmonious voice insisted upon singing at a recent party. “What does she call that?” in* quired a guest. “The Tempest.” I think,” answered another. “Don’t be alarmed,” said a sea captain presnet, “its only a squal, and will soon be over.” The Savannah News says that S. Adams Lee, the biggest humbug that ever allowed his middle name to pro trude, has been elected to a professor ship in a female college in Paris, Texas. He is a penitentiary convict, and about three months ago was in jail in Calhoun county for stealing. Dr. Kaine, the Globular man, of the St. Louis Globe , says that “one of the reporters of the St. Louis Times has had the small-pox, and now his boarding house keepors uses his cheek for a nut meg grater.” The Kansas City (Mo.) Times says that “no kind of small-pox that has yet been invented would ever make a nutmeg grater of Kaine’s cheek.’ The New York Tribune, in its obituary of Mr. Greeley, commends his memory “to the slaves whose backs he saved from the lash.” They are the only peo* pie in the country who do not join in regret at his death. Under the teach ings of their peculiar friends, the carpet-baggers and scalawags, they were taught to look upon him as an enemy, who desired and intended their re-en slavement. Mr. Greeley lived long enough to learn how much time he had wasted upon au ignorant and ungrate ful race.
