One by one the sands are flowing, One by one the mountains fall; Some are coming, some are going, Do not strive to grasp-them all. One by one thy duties wait thee, 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.

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. * A Paris Journal is our authority for saying that recently at the Closeric des Lilas a lady in a very bad humor said, savagely, to a gentleman who had fixed his eyes on her for some time : “Why have you gaped at me for an hour, fooir' “Ah, madame, replied the gentleman, bowing very respectfully, “if you only knew how much you resemble my poor monkey which I loved so much ! ’ I t is unnecessary to add that the gentle man returned home sans eyes, sans hair, sans everything, “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. jgk • [From the Danbury Now's.} COUNTING ONE lICNOItED. IIOW A DANUURY MAN KBPT 1118 TJCMPKH. A Danbury man named Reubens re cently saw a statement that counting one hundred whein tempted to speak an angry word wouid save a man a great 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.

' “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. ♦- Owing to the loss of iho Atlantic, and the temporary disabling of two other steamers, the White Star line has failed several times recently to comply with the terms of its contract for carrying the Saturday European mails from New York, and the Inmau Steamship Company having applied to tbo Post Office Department for tho privilege of performing this.mail service as for w ly, Postmaster General Oresswell has notified the agents of tho White Star lino to appear in Washington and show causo why their contract should not be revoked on account of the inadequacy j of their present service.

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 vas,” at the idea that his Amelia was 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 as one big sunflower.” —Chicujo paper. ; ——- m *■ The War in Spain. —Dou Carlos cause has been vastly freshened in Spain and the neighboring countries by the result of the late victory of his troops under Dorregaray at Puente do Eraul.
