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

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.’

‘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.
