One by one the mountains fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp-them all.

Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Leant tliou first what these can teach.
One by one bright gifts of heaven,
.Toys are sent the hero below ;
Take them readily when given—
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band*;
One will fade while others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life’s long sorrow,
See how small eacli momeut’s pain ;
’ Gon will help tiice for to morrow—
Every day begins again.
Every hour that lleets so slowly,
Has its t sk to do or bear ;
Luminous tlie crown and holy,
If tliou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passion’s hour despond ;
Nor the daily toil forgetting,
Look too eagerly beytmd.
Hours are golden links, God's token,
Reaching heaven, but one by one
Take them, lest the cliaia.be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

A LOST HUSBAND.
Under tlie beading "Strayed or Stoleu,
Mrs. 8. Susan Hundley, of “Sheffey
Farm,” Wythocouuty, advertises her
husband, Andrew Jackson Hundley, in
the Enterprise. She says b? left her
about two months ago, in company with
one Manila Wyriek, who she believes,
“conjured or bewildered” him, by giv.
ing him “a c up of coffee to drink, upon
the top of which he saw a blue glass
swimming" They were accompanied by
her “son B js. who left a wife ami three
children.” The deserted matron says:
“I want A. J. arrested and handcuffed,
if necessary, and brought back to me dead
or alive, as bo owes a good ui my debts
that be must pay, mid he owes me a
support in my old age. lie is supposed
to have- gone to Tennessee or lowa, or

fellow, about six feet high, broad should

age. (being about -0 years younger than
myself.) She offers to pay anybody a
fair price who will return him. to her,

A Man Who Never Owed More
Then Five Cents.— -A correspondent
of the Fredericksburg Ledger , writing
from Essex county, ’mentions the death
of a romarka’ul? aod worthy old gentle
man of Richmond county, Mr. J. B.
Sisson, in the eightieth year of his age.
He was an industrious man, and had
accumulated some property, which he
left to his only daughter. He was a
soldier in the war of 1812. He often
remarked that he never owed any one
but five cents during the eighty years of
his life, and that was a balance on a
bill of goods purohasod of old Mr. ilutt.
He said he could not sleep that night
because of his owing five cents, and he
got up very early the next morning,
wont to see Mr. Ilutt, and paid the five
cents. Never before or afterwards did
he owe any person one cent.

“S ALUS POP ULI SUPREMA. LEX EST O. ”
WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1873.
From tlie Atlanta Herald.
A SAD ItIH OICD.
“Twenty persons are eondemtned to
be Lung in. Georgia, within the next
two months.”
What a record of crime wo have
here! There is nothing liko it in the
annals of our State. In a Christian
commonwealth, with hut a fraction
over a million* of inhabitants, in the
light of the nineteenth century, twenty
liumau beings to be launched from time
into eternity, for crimes, and all within
the brief space of sixty days ! How
terrible the thought! Docs it argue
an increase of crime, or a more energet
ic administration of the law against
offenders? JVc think both. While the
latter is a subject for congratulation
with all good citizens, the former is a
fact that should startle from their slum
bers our statesmen an 1 philanthropists.
A rigid execution of the law is calculat
ed to deter from crime in civilized
communities, and in this regard the
public owe a debt of gratitude to the
courts and juries of the State. That,
such will bo the effect to some consid
erable extent, we may look with conli
dence; but, organized as society is in
the South at tho present day, we may
not hope for that generous position from
terrible examples which commutation
differently constituted naturally enjoy.
There are classes of mankind upon
whoiu example does not associate with
any considerable force. Toey can nei
ther be led to do good by tlie rewards
of the virtu jus, nor deterred from crime
by tho frightful fate of offenders against
the law.
There is a philosophy iu this un
wonted lawlessness at tho South, which
should not be overlooked, cither by the
the philanthropic engineer or by the
makers of our laws. To be properly
understood, it is necessary tli it we
should look to the particular classes of
society which produce these offenders,
or the great majority of them. Upon
the best information, we have been able
to obtain, of the twenty persons to be
hung for crime in Georgia iu the brief
period referred to, in tho extract quoted,
full three-fourths, if not more, belong
to the recently enfranchised black popu
lation. This is a significant faot, and
.we commend it to the prayerful consid
eration of those morbid humanitarians
and false prophets, in church and State,
who staked their reputation —and we
may say, the justification, of their out
rages upon law and right—upon the
theory that freedom would elevate tho
blacks in the scale of humanity and
civilization. Before and even during
the war, when the negroes of the
South were iu a state ofslavery, crimes
of a high grade were almost unknown
among them. An execution was a rare
event, and as a general rule, society
moved on unshocked by deeds of horror
and the painful spectaclo of the gal
lows that follow in their train. How
do you account for the change ? With
out comment, wo state the fact and
leave the solution to those who claim to
be tho exclusive friends of the negro,
and have violantly taken his destiny iu
their owu hands.
If there has been an increase of
crime atnbng the whites, it is a result
naturally to be expected from rational
causes. Nor is it confined to any par
ticular section of the Union. A four
years bloody conflict, in which the mas
ses ou both sides are engaged, when
law is made to give place to might and
tho shedding of humau blood becomes
the business of the day, has never fail
ed to bring upon a people, however cn
litigtencd, for a season a rotgn of reck
lessness and demoralization. It is oue
of the legitimate fruits of war, and
hardly less to be deplored than the
humau sacrifices of the field. In this
instance, however, the record is loss
fearful at the South than it is at the
North, and when circumstances and the
j character of their respective populations
TWO DOLLARS A YEAH, IN ADVANCE.
arc considered, immeasurably so. In
our case, with a faithful administration
of the law, we are encouraged to hope
for a speedy and radical amendment
among the whites; but, as regards tho
negro, neither freedom nor education,
nor the certainty and terrors of punish
ment seems to exert tho least controf
over his passions or conduct. Ho is a
problem in our civilization yet to be
sieved; and just, hero wo have opened
up anew if not boundless field for the
statesman and philanthropist.
Opinions oi’ tho Ancient*.
In Rollin’s Ancient History, vol. 3,
book 7th, chap. *J!d, see. 4th, it is relat
ed of Zalcucus, a lawgiver, “That to
banish luxury from his republic, which
ho looked upon as the certain destruc
tion of a government, he did not follow
the practice established by some nations,
where it is thought sufficient for tho
restraining it, to punish by pecuniary
mulcts such as infringe the laws; but
he acted, says the historian, in a more
artful and ingenious manner : •
lie prohibited women from wearing
rich and costly stuffs, embroidered
robes, precious stones, car-rings, nock
laccs.gold rings, bracelets, and such like
ornaments, excepting none from this
law, but common prostitutes, lie enact
ed a similar law with regard to the men,
excepting in the same manner from the
observance of it, only such as were
williug to pass for debauchee's and infa
mous wretches. By thfcse regulations,
ho easily and without violence preserv
ed the citizens from the approaches to
luxury and effeminacy; for no person
was so lost Do all sense of honor, as to
be willing to wear the badges of his
shame under the eye of all the citizens,
as that would make him a public laugh
ing stock, and reflect eternal infamy on
It is family.
Tho Work. —“ Educate men without
religion,” said the Duke of Wellington,
“and you maker them clever devils.”
This is perhaps a more forcible than
.elegant expression, yet it contains an
important truth. Education, without
a true moral balance, only enables- men
to excel in forms of knavery which the
ignorer t would never -attempt. But
wo must have men with intellectual cul
ture. The question is how to prevent
that intelligence from being devoted
to base purpose*. There is but one an
swer--heart culture. The moral train
ing of the Christian homo can give this,
aud it may bo supplemented by the
church ’ school; but it is a sad truth,
that in hundreds of cases, tho only
systematic moral culture that children
receive, is that which is given by tho
Sunday School. The Sunday School
ought to be, aud is capable of becoming
the great moral conservator of tiie land.
Honors to a Royai, Cub. —A New
York dispatch says: “Ulyssess S.
Grant, Jr., son of the President, arriv
ed on the steamship Donau on Saturday,
from Germany, where he has been pur
suing his studies. lie was taken from
the steamer at Quarantine by Collector
Arthur and some other officials, who
went down the bay in a revenue cutter
to meet Him, and brought up to the
city. After a short entertainment by
the custom house officials he was dis
patched to Washington.”
The nephew of Thaddeus Stevens hau
a large part of his surly uncle’s estate
bequeathed him on condition that lie
would never use intoxicating drink*.
It seems that the young gentleman had
too high an opinion of a constitutional
julep and a moral cocktail to turn his
back upon them for the sake of filthy
lucre, so the executors will apply the
proceeds of tho property, which are va
riously estimated at from $50,000 to
SIOO,OOO, to the founding of an Orphans’
Horae in Lancaster. The will provides
that no distinction of race, religion or
color shall be made in tho borne, and
that all the inmates shall cat at the same
table. Wo don’t remember an instance
of firmer fealty to the King of Grain,
John Barleycorn, than this nephew has
manifested.

A Danbury man named Reubens re

deal of trouble. This statement sounded
a little singular at Urst, but the more
ho read it over the more favorably ho
became impressed with it, and finally
concluded to adopt it. Next door to
Reubens lives a man who has made
fivo distinct attempts in the past fort
night to secure a dinner of green peas
by the first of July, and every t imo he
has been retarded by Reubens’ hens.—
The next morning after Reubens mado
his resolution, this man found his fifth
attempt to have mi-carried. Theft he
called on Reubens. Ho said:
“What iu the thunder do you mean

put down his rage, and
meekly observed :
“One, two, three, four, live, six, sev
en, eight—”
Then the mad neighbor who had
been eyeing this answer with a great
deal of suspicion, broke in again :
“Why don’t you answer my question,
you rascal ?”
Rut still Reubens maintained his
equanimity, and .went on with the test:
“Niue, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
forteen, fifteen, sixteen—”
The mad neighbor stared harder
than ever.
' “Seventeen, eighteen, twen
ty, twenty-one—•"
“You’re a mean skunk.” said the
mad neighbor, backing towards the
fence.
Reubens’*face flushed at this charge,
but ho only said :
“Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty
four, twenty-five, twenty-six—”
At this figure the neighbor got upon
the fence in some haste, but suddenly
thinking ot his peas, he opened his
mouth :
“You mean, low-lived rascal, for two
cents I could knock your cracked head
over a barn, and I would—
“ Twenty-seven, twenty-eight,” intor
,.upted Reubens, “twenty-nine, thirty,
thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three—”
Hero the neighbor broke for the
house, and entering it, violently slam
med the door behind him; but Reubens
did uot dare to let up on the enumera
tion, and so he stood out there alone
in his own yard, and kept on counting,
while his buruiug cheeks and flashing
eyes eloqueutly affirmed his judgment.
When he got up in the eighties his wife
came to the door in some alarm.
“Why Reubens, man, what is the
matter with you ?” she said. “Do
come into the house.”
But he didn’t let up. She came out
to him, and clung trembling to him,but
he only looked into her eyes, and said:
“Ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety
five, ninety six,ninety-seven,ninety-eight,
ninety-nine, one hundred—go into the
house,-old woman, or I’ll bust ye.”
Aud she went.

A Man -Wlto Was Determined to
Marry.
A man named August Gillsbeek,who
lives on Michigan avenue, rushed into
the City llall in a treinblo of excite
ment, not long since, and demanded to
1 see “Sheaf of lloleese.” When admit*
ted to the “sheafs” office, Augustas
went, on 10 say that he loved a girl
named Amelia Smith. Mote than this,
he had her promise.of marriage, and
yesterday at 10 o’clock the ceremony
was to have come off. Gillsbeek is a
1 widower,with three children, but Arne-
I
lia loved him none tire less for all this,
and Sunday evening she promised to
be ready ut the appointed hour. She
works for a family in the Rrcaler block,
Michigan avenue, and as she did not
make her appearance at the appointed
time he hired a sleigh aftd went after
her. The minister was at his house as
Weill as number of frieuds.aud,as Augus
tus expressed it,**be felt soslicapas never

to go back on him.
He drove up to the door and called
for her, but was blandly informed that
Amelia had changed her mind. He
attempted to force his way into the
house, but was hit on the nasal organ
and fell back and entrenched himself be-
hind a woodpile. Calling for a truce,he
was informed that the girl had locked
hersolf up,and that there woldu’t be any
marrying that day. The disappointed
man rushed over to the chief and wanted
him to send an officer to break tha
door down and oblige the woman to ■
keep her word. The chief declined,
when Augustus pondered a moment,
clapped his hands together, and ex
claimed, “Shoost you keep shtill, und
I’ll fix him all right.” He went off,
leaped into his sleigh and was gone
about an hour. When he came back
he hud a women with him whom he in
troduced as his wife. -She was not
Amelia—she was- Mrs. Jones. When <
Gillsbeek found that he could not get
the idol of his heart, he went home and
run over to the Widow Jones’, and ’
told her that she could become Mrs.
Gillsbeek. Sho hesitated a little, but
yielded, of course, and there was a
wedding after all. “And now, Mr.
Sheaf of Boliee,” said Augustus,as they
turned to go cut, *‘l am shust so habby
