I TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. VOL. III.! niiiiE is ,vu ur.vni. Thkrr is no dkath ! The s'ars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine for evermore. There is no death ! The dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer showers To golden grain or mellow fruit, Or raiubow tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize To feed the hungry moss they bear; The forest leaves drink daily life From out the viewless air. There is no death ! The leaves may fall, The leaves may fade and pass away); They only wait, through wintry hours, The coming of the May. There is no death! An angel form Walks o’er the earth with silent trade; lie bears our best loved things away, And then we called them ‘"dead.” He leaves our hearts all desolate, He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers ; Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. The birdslike voice, whose joyous tones Made glad these scenes of sin and strife, Sings on an everlasting song Amid the trees of life. And where he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint and vice, He hears it to that world of light, To dwell in Paradise. Born into that undying life, They leave us but to come again; With joy we weieome them—the same, Except in sin and pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The dead immortal spirits tread ; For all the boundless Uuiverse Is life— There ark no hia. A TOIiK OF EUROPE. OncoFoure xchanges, the enterpris ing Constitution tf Atlanta, contains tlio following readable letter, which we are sure will interest our readers, particularly those who are always wish ing to go to the old country butcau’t— one of icht)>n wc are which : The untiring work day previ ous did not prevent an early start for Kenilworth —a railway journey of less than an hour. The village itself is tamo and straggling, containing nothing that need delay our departure by the velvety path which always runs along the fringe of hawthorn, in the lane, to “PRINCELY KENILWORTH.” This hoary monument of past grand eur was the village quarry until Scott’s historic romance revealed its true mean ing, woven in with a few grains or so of harmless fiction. Luckily for modern travelers, the great walls were sixteen feet thick, and the wants of the villa gers moderate. The Earl of Clarendon owns what is left; and he applies the gate money—throe pence a head—to wards keeping “in good repair” the crumbling remiHMits that pertain to THIS NORMAN CONQUEST. Geoffery do Clinton is supposed to have founded the castle some three or four hundred years before the discovery of the Western Hemisphere. The In surgent Barons were bc-seiged in it for six months by Henry III; and in the reign of Edward I, so grand a tourna ment was held under its walls, that it won a place in the history of the time. Kenilworth was very old before the first, stone was laid in the stronghold of aristocratic robbers at Warwick. But the Castle’s greatest glory dates from the time that Queen Elizabeth gave it to her favorite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. It was he who re stored every part of the immense struc ture, re-erecting and beautifying the outer gates and towers, and bringing the ancient Norman beep to the height of splendor. Thrice he received the Virgin Queen within its walls ; and on the last occasion the festivities and pleasures lasted seventeen days. The fertile brain of the author of “Kenil worth” found ample scope in a descrip “BA LU 8 POPULI SUPREM A LEX EST O. ” WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1873. tion of that priuccl. reception ami en tertainment. The Castle’s downfall came with the civil wars. Cromwell granted it to several of his officers, who drained the lake, dismantled the buildings, and sold the materials. After the restoration Charles II gave it to his Lord Chan cellor Hyde, through whose descendants, it lias passed to tuc present .Earl of Clarendon. As we entered the gateway the first thing that attracted my eye was the beautiful t hedge of variegated holly ; and then, tbe clinging masses of ivy on tbe massive walls of Caesar’s Tower. The beauty ol go'hie ornamentation is not here—Melrose far excels in this res pect; but the antiquarian discovers traces of a by-gone magnificancc, where we could only see rudeness and solidity. The misfortunes of the shattered walls are partly shielded from the gaze of the scorner by a luxuriant growth of the wonderful English climbing vine, and by trees that have taken root here and there, even in tbe angles of the upper stories. The tread of nges has uearly worn out some parts of the spiral staircases —many a stone step, of a foot in thick ness, being hollowed out, even to no thingness, by passing feet. I confess that I forgot all the romantic events that had transpired beneath me, when I stood at the top of their broken monument. What a fair, fresh scene —England’s fadeless green : There is no American sun to parch blade and leaf in early summer—no drought, al ways a moist, equable air—a trifle too moist, at times, to be pleasant ; and no coat of dust to dull and tarnish nature’s beautiful livery. The view on that sun dimmed morning—the enduring rustic bridge the shaded lane wending at w II farther and farther out. the undulating fields, the sylvau dales, the clumps of wood hiding perhaps, a gabled mansion are all firmly mine in memory's hold. There was a singular imperfection in the otherwise harmonious picture of quiet beauty. In the next field —pos- sibly on the very spot where mailed knights with their splendid retinues met for the magnificent and often san guinary tournament, was a clattering Yankee mowing-machine! Ah, well “The hoary keep of Kenilworth How proudly once it stood ! With lake and park, and moataud bridge, And acres broad and good ! Now all liemm’d in by ploughing toil, The very waters dried, With scarce a vestige on the soil To m- rk its ancient pride." On the way back to the station we passed a rural picnic excursion, led by a brass band, going out to the castle for a day’s enjoyment. The men pos sessed the national heaviness of body and feature, the national reddish hair and thin whiskers, the blue eyes and big stomachs of our ancestors; while the girls chewed gum as naturally, as their cousins in North Carolina. Per mit a word about our base for the last two days— I.EAMIXOTON SPA. Never heard of it, eh ? Then I must ask you to turn to Hawthorn’s “Our old Home,” and read his delightful talk about it-. It is anew town—the idea, in Old England—of about 20,- 000 people, in a sweet vale, sheltered by gentle acclivities, and surrounded by a highly cultivated country. The springs of this watering place are said to be the most efficacious in the King- dom. I think they must flow from big' deposits of rotton eggs and old boots. But if one does not like the waters, la* j can study the ways of English people ; when they go a-pleasuring. The streets are often full of elegant carriages of a solid pattern ; and their inmates dress accordin'. Shoddy is not their name. Our next halting place whs OXFORD. We secured shelter at the “Mitre Hoteland boots conducted us up little flights of stairs, and down others, and along zigzag, mysterious passages, to our rooms. My own had seven sides to if, not covnting three different slopes of ceiling. But there is a deal of com fort anu cleanliness in our ancient inn —rather more, I thirk, than the ordi nary wayfarer can get out of our own great caravansaries. It is so queer, too, when you reflect that the elegant, patronizing and in newspaper parlauce gentlemanly hotel clerk, who wears a diamond breast-pin larger than a watch, and looks clear over your head, if he looks at all, is unknown in England. We came to Oxford during the recess, and, of course, found it very dull. The begowned regents and doctors were not there, because they had flung aside the shovel—frowned hats for the sensible caps of the hunt or cricket; and tbe flower of British youth had flown from its streets to —well I don't exactly know. But the nineteen colleges and other schools and academical structures were still on duty. I would really like to know how old they are; for, such a blackened, ragged, peeled lot of stately buildings does not exist anywhere else. Tbe stone of the great buildings is very sott—so much so that the corners, cornices, yes, the broad sides, are gra dually going. I bad no opportunity of interviewing the boss collegian on the subject; but I strongly suspect that they are proud of such evidences of autuiquity, and could not be induced to renovate them for any consideration. But over many a scar of time tbe living green of the misty land has handsome ly done the work of the modern archi tect. The city is nearly surrounded by the Isis and Charwell, and is not very populous —loss than' thirty thousand people ; and you may be sure that so many Gothic towers, and domes, and spires, and immense buildings, give it a peculiar character —one not easily forgotteu, even if you stay but one night as we did. In the afternoon we wandered among tbe gray, ivy-mantled seats of learning, of w hich CHRIST-CIITJRCH COLLEGE is the best example. Tlio grand front is 400 feet long, and over the- gateway iaja circular Dower that contains the huge bell—“ Great Tom of Oxford,” that weighs 17,000 lbs., and the clapper of which weighs 34*2 lbs. Its tolling sum mons the students of the University to their respective colleges at 9 o’clock, each night. Under this bower is the road to the immense qnadrangular court. A statue of Cardinal Wolsey, who founded the colledgo, stands in one corner; but the better monument .of the king-cardinal, is all around the grassy space. The entrances to the va rious apartments are from the spacious quadrangle. Wo lacked both the ne cessary documents and the time to in. spect the interior, and, indeed, we pre ferred the streets. As we went up the flights of stairs that lead to the upper gallery of the Bodleian Library, we said to ourselves; here must be a collection of literary wares that is not encumbered with knick-kuicks and curiosities. The first thing we met though, was the lantern that Guy Fawkes oarried when he was getting up his parliamentary pyrotech nics. There are 250,000 rare books and MSS. concealed in the building, that the learning of all countries often consult. Near by is the Radoliffe li brary, is a tall cylindrical biulding— under whose specious dome wo spent an evening that would otherwise have been lonely. The “Atlantic” was the sole representative of the land of the freo on the magazine tables. THE MARTVR’s MEMORIAL Cross is conspicuously located in the broad thoroughfare of St. Giles, very near the spot where “the once-mitred pair of saintly friends,” the three great martyrs of the Reformation, Ridley, Latimer, and shortly afterwards Cran- mcr, suffered death. Wo owe moro to the sublime faith and deathless con stancy of these ‘‘obstinate heretics” than we do to the great academic piles that surround the place of their glori ous death. While they were “corded and burning at the social stake,” Lati mer turned to his companion and said: “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man ; wo shall this day such light a candle, by Goo’s grace, in Eng land, as I trust shall never be put out.” The light of a pure faith and a free Bible burns brightly in the good old land. There is much more of deep in terest in King Alfred’s anciont Seat of Learning; but it is time that we got off for LONDON TOWN. South of Oxford a material change is observed—a flat rich? country, in largo unshaded fields bearing heavy growths of grains or roots, supplants the pastures and meadows that \ye have thus far traversed. And here we had to confess that we did not know beans. They sow in drills, large areas of broad or horse beans, that grow up stout, to the height of above three feet, covering the ground as evenly as wheat. Beets and turnips—but you must be tired of agriculture. Let us try romance. ’Tis Saturday. In one short hour ’twill be too late. Miles of crowded streets lie between. “A horse ! my”— here we are compelled to resort to <tu mou prose to make plain the nonsense that goes before. We arrived at Pad dington at ouo o’clock, and the bank p ’ that held our mail closes, on Saturdays, at two o’clock. We hired a horse, it is true, but wo came up pulling the queer er tof all vehicles. It is called a Han som cab, and there are millions, more or less, of them in London. The peo ple of other countries do not use them, and 1 can’t say that they should be blamed. The cab is a two-wheeled contrivance, just large enough for two passengers, over and behind whom the the driver goes to roost on a lofty perch, from which he telegraphs to the power in front by lines that your life depends on, Well, cabby drove recklessly along urged by the promise of a small foe be yond the reasonable fare ; and the cur tain falls on a chamber scene in the world’s metropolis, in which two tra velers may be seen up to their eyes in papers and letters from home sweet home. F. Decisions. —The decisions of the Supreme Court, reversing the Supreme Court of Georgia on the Relief and Homestead laws, reported by telegraph, are as follows : No. 123—Walker vs. Whitehead, er ror to the Supreme Court of Georgia. This was an action on a promissory note, and was dismissed because it did not appear that taxes chargeable on all debts had not been paid on thb debt.— This Court reverses the judgement, holding that the act imposing taxes on debts by the State is unconstitutional as impairing the obligations of contract. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opin ion. TIIE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. No. 185--Gunn vs. Barry, error to the Supreme Court of Georgia, In this oae the Court held that an aot of the Legislature of Georgia of 1868, in creasing the amount of homestead ex emption was not applicable to pre-exis ting debts and judgments anu reverses a judgement below, refusing the writ of mandamus to compel tho sheriff to levy on certain property of Barry, that offi cer having declined to make the levy on the grounds that the property was exempt under the act cited. Mr. Just ice s'wayne delivered the opinion. A gay Lothario, without legs, having lost them by a railroad accident, was ar rested in Columbus, the other day, for kidnapping a lovely damsel of fifteen spring tides. They were of the Afrh can way of thinking. RULES FOR LEGA L ADVERTISING!

Saving: on Buttons. The Danbury News is the best diges tive pill that has yet been discovered. Hero is an item concerning buttons that 'should be read immediately after a hearty dinner or late supper, and is warranted to make the reader proof against dyspepsia: It is bad enough to see a bachelor sew on.a button, but he is the embodiment of grace alongside, of a married man. Necessity has compelled experience in the case of the former, but the latter has always depended upon someone else for this service, aDd, for tunately, for the sake of society, it is rarely he is obliged to resort to the need le himself, sometimes the patient wife scalds her right hand, or runs sliver under the nail of the index finger on the band, and it is then man clutches the needle round the neck, and, forget ting to tie a knot in the thread, oom mencess to put on the button. It is always in the morning, and from five to twenty minutes after he is expected to be down in the streets. He lays the button exactly cn the site of its prede cessor, and pushes the needle through the eye and carefully draws the thread after, leaving about three inches of it sticking up for the lee way. Ho says to himself: “Well, if women don’t have the easiest time I ever see.” Then he comes back the other way, and gets the needle through the cloth well enougli, and lays himself out to find the eye, but in spite of a great deal of patient jab bing, tho needle point persists in buck ing against the solid part of that but ton. and finally, when he loses patience, his finger catches the thread, and that three inches he had left to hold the button slips through the eye in a twink ling, and tbe button rolls leisurely across the floor. He picks it up without a siuglo remark, out of respect for his children, and makes another attempt to fasten it. This time when coming back with the needle he keeps both the thread and button from slipping by covering them with his thumb, and it is out of regard for that part of him that he feels around for the eye in a very careful and judicious manner, but eventually losing his philosophy, as the search becomes more and more hopeless, ho falls to jab bing about iu a loose and savage man ner, and it is just then the needle finds the opening, and comes up through the button and part way through his thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard against. Then he lays down the things with a few familiar quota-* tlons, and presses the injured hand be tween his knee.-, and then holds it un der the arm, and finally jams it into his mouth, and all the while he prances about the floor, and calls upon heaven to witness that thfere has never been anything like it since the world was created, and howls, and whistles, and moans, and sobs. After a while he calms down, and puts on his pants, fas tening them with a stick t and goes to his business a changed man.— ‘Mrs. Jenks,’ said a little red-haired girl, with a pug nose and bare feet, ‘mother says you will obleege her by iendinVher a stiok of fire wood, fill this cruet with vinegar, put in’ a little soft soap in this pan, and please not let your turkey gobblers roost on our fence.’ W 1 ‘How dare you,’ said a young snob to a mechanic, as they were both crowd ihg into one of Jenny Lind’s concerts ‘how dare you come to hear a nightin gale; without a shirt collar?’ ‘How the deuce could I have a collar when your mother has not sent home my wash ing ?’ was the reply. —.— , m ■ A Connecticut woman was recently bereft of the faculty of speech by being hit with a snow-ball, and many rar.s* ried men in that part of the country have been heard to remark that, after all, tho winter has advantages not affor-. ded by any other season.
