ITic Past mid t'umlnu Vfiir,
BY JOHN G. WHITTIEK.
Wave of an awful torrent, thronging down.
With all the wealth (if centuries, t .. cold
Embraces of Eternity, o'erstrewu
Willi llio great wrecks of empire. lid the old
Magnificence of nations, who nr gone—
T'liy last, faint murmur—thy dei img sigh,
Along the shore of being, like,a tone
thrilling on broken harp-strings, or the swell
Of the chained w ind's last w hisper—hath gone
by,
And ihoin hast floated from the world of breath
l o the still guidance if oYi in.-taring death —
Thy pilot to eternity, l'aicv-ll
flo, swell the tarumJ'nl past - go. bleed wiih all
The garnered things of death, and hear with
tlieo
Tlie treasures of thy pilgrimage—the tall
And beautiful dreams of Hope —tlie ministry
Of Love and liigli Ambition. Mau remains
To dream again as idly ; and tlie strains
Of. passion will he visible once more.
The winged spirit will not he confined
By the experience*of thy journey. Mind
Will straggle in its prison house, and still,
With earth’s strong fetters binding it to ill,
Unfurl the pinions titted but to soar
In that pure atmosphere where spirits range—
The tin ne of high existences' —whets change .
And blighting may not enter. Love again
Will bloom—a fickle flower—uponllie grave
Of old affections; and Ambition wave
His eagle plume most proudly, for the rein
Of Conscience will he loused from C:c Ipul
To give his purpose freedom. The control
Of i ason will be changeful, and tic ties
Which gather hearts together and make up
The romance of existence, will he rent;
Yea, poison will be poured in
cup';
An i for Earth's low familiar element,
T • .11 Love itself forsake its kindred skits.
; si not alone dark visions !—happier things
Will float above existence, like the wings
Of the starred bird of paradise ; aud Love
Will not he all a dreaui, or rather prove
A dream—a sweet forgetfulness—that hath
No wakeful changing—ending hut in death.
Yea, pure hearts shall be pledged beneath tlie
eyea
Of tlic beholding in the light
Of the love-hallowed moon. The quiet Night
Shall hear that language underneath the skies
Which wliispereth above them, as the prayer
And the deep vow is spoken. Passing fair
And gifted creatures, with the light of truth
And undebarred affection, as a crown,
ltesting upon the beautiful brow of youth,
elinll smile on stately manhood, kneeling down
Before them, as to idols. Friendship’* hand
Shall clasp its brothers: and Affection's tear
Be sanctified with sympathy. The bier .
Of stricken love shall loose the fears which
Death
Giveth his fearful work, and earnest Faith
Shall look beyond the shadow and the clay —
The pulseless sepulchre—the cold decay:
And to the quiet of the"spirit land
Follow the moulded and lovely. Gifted ones,
Lighting the Heaven of Intellect, like suns,
Shull wrestle well with circumstance, and hear
Tire agony of scorn—the preying care,
Wedded to burning bosoms; and go down
in sorrow to the noiseless sepulchre,
With one lone hope embracing like a crown
The cold and deathlike forehead of Despair,
That after time shall treasure up their fame
Even as a proud inheritance and high ;
And beautiful bqiugs love to breathe their i
name
With the recorded things that never die.
And thou, grey voyager to the breezeless sea
Of infinite Oblivion —speed thou on':
Another gift of Time succeedcth thee
Fresh from the hand of God; for thou hast
done;
The errand of thy*Destiny; and nohe
May dream of thy returning-. Go—and bear
Mortality’s frail records to thy cold,
Eternal prison-housethe midnight prayer
Of suffering bosoms, and the fevered care
Of worldly hearts—the miser’s dream of gold—
Ambition’s grasp at greatness—the quenched
light
Of broken spirits—the forgiven wrong
And tire abiding curse—ay, bear long
These wrecks of thy own making. Lo—thy
knell
Gathers upon the windy breath of night,
Its last and faintest echo. Fare thee well I

A TEIIHIBLE BUT TRUE STOIIV —A BOY OF
THIRTEEN YEARS IS BITTEN BY A MAI)
DOO AND FINALLY GOES MAD AND DIES
IN TORTURE.
On the 12th of December last, Chase It.
Hale, aged twelve years, a step-son of
James Robertson, who resides in tire west
ern portion of Atchinson county, was bit
ten by a dog that was supposed to be rabid.
Chase, with two of his brothers, had gone
out for the purpose of turning the cattle
into the feed-yard. lie, being several steps
iu advance of his brothers at this time, no
ticed a strange dog Hint passed him ; the
dog going by without paying the least at
tention to any of the boys. After lie bad
passed some hundred yards in advance of
the Chase began to call the cows.—
At this the dog looked around for a few
moments, then rushed back upon the boys,
and meeting Chase first, attacked him from
the rear, crushed him to the earth and hit
him in four or five different places. At
this juncture one of the boys gathered up
a club and charged on the dog, who, being
himself assailed in return, fled. The boys
now returned to the bouse and reported
what bad happened. On the day follow
ing. Mr. Robertson took bis son and start
ed oif in search of what was reported to
be a mad-stone. After traveling some
days they found one at or near Oskaloosa,
iu Jefferson county. It was applied to
the wounds and stuck several times. —
After the stone refused to stick, the father
returned home with big son, but was ill at
ease, for be bad little or no faith in the ef
ticacy of the mad-stone. The boy, how
ever, seemed to do well ; the wounds all
healed kindly, and lie was apparently in
perfect health.
On Sunday last, December 1, be began
to complain s though be was taking an
ague. Monday he was quite unwell, hav
ing chills and fever. Tuesday last about
the same. His father now gave him
quinine for the purpose of breaking up
bis ague. At about noon be began to
sweat profusely, but was becoming very
nervous, and Dr. Burdick, of Grashopper
Falls, was called. The Doctor prescribed
awl called to see him the next day. The
cease was now assuming a serious aspect,
the Doctor fearing rabies. Dr. Adams,
of Holton, w r as sent for, but before
the Doctor arrived the disease bad
iully decared itself, the patient now
having well-marked hydrophobia fits.
r l hesa were brought on or aggravated by
the slightest draft of air, the sudden move
n.eut of bus garments or even tbe breath
of lain nurses, if blown in bis face. They
were of the most frighttul character, re
quiring constant vigilance to prevent the
violent contortions of his body and limbs
from throwing him from the bed to tho
floor; in fact, once or twice that accident
did happen. He now became unable to
swallow nny water, tlie touch of tt cup or
a spoon to liis lips causing u spasm
Yet (luting all this agony his miiiil was
perfectly clear ami ho fully understood his
situatii n, and was-aware of the hopeless
ness of his case. He would frequently tell
his attendants that he would not hurt
them, that they need not fear for his biting
them when ho had a lit. After calling
his brothers and sisters to liis bed-side he
told his fattier what disposition to make
of his keepsakes, giving to each ono some
thing in remembrance of him, and gave
directions us to his burial. Seeing bis
teacher rti the room, he called him up and
requested that the whole school might at
tend his funeral. Having adjusted alibis
allairs he now begged of. his physicians
that they would give him some quick
poison and release him from liis torture.
These tilings he said and did in tlie in
tcrviTs of tlie most violent spasms of pain
that it was possible for a human being to
endure. Wednesday there was an evident
tailing of the life forces, yet in the main
he heard and saw and know everything
that transpired in the room. The spasms
were now alpiost continuous, and at tl
o'clock in the forenoon of Thursday, the
fifth day of his sickness, he quietly ex

GEORGE ELIOT.
SOMETHING INTERESTING AIIOUY THE
GREATEST FEMALE NOVELIST.
[Ffom tin Kew York World.
Tills woman, 'who is ranked by tlie best
critics on a par with tlie first men in
intellect of her own, if not in any period,
and who has been honored with the title
of “ the female Bacon,” is so extraordi
nary a phenomenon that every one must
be curious to learn her antecedents and
personal history. The present particu
lars are derived mainly from persons who
have had opportunities of knowing tlie
facts, and in the main have not been pub
lished before.
George Eliot, or Miss Evans, is of re
spectable ancestry, but in early life she
was left alone in the world, and, it is
understood, has no near relations of any
kind, she was adopted in early life by a
gentleman of means, who gave her an
education at home. This would bo infer
red from the absence of any account of
school life in her stories. What the
nature of that education was is not known.
It is said ou one authority that at quite an
early period of her life Miss Evans became
acquainted with Herbert Spencer, aud
that her studies were afterward pursued
under his directions and after the princi
ples set forth in his strikingly original
essays on education. Her meeting with
Spencer probably did not occur until a
later period. Herbert Spencer’s plan of
education • made science tlie supreme
object of sfbdy, as is seen in his essay on
“What Knowledge is of most Work.”
Yet, while in her later writings, especially
iu “Middiemarcli,” Geo. Eliot makes con
stant references to tho deep questions of
science, these allusions arc exceptional in
her early books, and in their place we
find thoughts bearing upon questions of
morals and arts. Hence we may infer,
and the known facts confirm this sup
position, that Miss Evans devoted her
early attention lo general culture. She
became master of several languages,
including German, Italian and French,
besides becoming a proficient iu music
and a student of art, while she read pro
foundly in the deepest works of meta
physics.
Her early life was passed in the coun
try, and her novels are saturated with the
flavor of English rural life, and no one
lias drawn pictures of nature, or men, or
women, in the country part of England,
with a finer or firmer hand than hers. It
was while acting as governess that she
gained her deep familiarity and insight
into certain phases of English rural scenes
which she bad described, and there is no
doubt that Mrs. Poyser, Rartle Sandy,
Adam Rede, the Vicor, and the Tuliivers
were sketched directly from nature. Dinah
was copied from a well known Methodist
saint who went about preaching and doing
good in tlie early part of this century, pre
cisely as she is represented as doing in
“Adam Bede ” t
Miss Evans’ first literary performance,
like those of Sir Walter Scott and Carlyle,
was a translation from the German, and
the circumstance that she chose a well
known work by Feurbach for this pur
pose. and afterwards translated Spratus’
-Life of Jesus,” indicates the tendency of
her mind at that time towards theolog
ical subjects. She next contributed sev
eral articles to the early numbers of the
Westminister Review, one of which, upon
“Savonarola,” showed the strong interest
which she took in the life and character
of tlie Italian reformer, and foreshadowed
“Romola,” which, however, was not pub
lished until long afterwards.
Possibly through these contribulious
she made the acquaintance of Dr. Chap
man, then editor of tlie Westminister, of
whose house site in time became an in
mate. Here she was brought in contact
witli the leading literary minds of the
English metropolis, who at once received
her as an equal, and by their sympathy
uud encouragement stimulated, as tiiey
also drew inspiration from her powerful
mind. Among those with whom she be
came intimate were J. S Mill, Spencer,
George Henry Lewes, besides others of tlie
first thinkers iu London. The result of
her acquaintance with Mr. Lewes was
their ultimate union, tlie peculiar circum
stances of which need not be repeated
here.
Herbert Spencer, as has already been
said, found a willing disciple in Mrs.
Lewis, and exerted a powerful influence
upon her mental development. It is said
upon authority that it was at his urgent
solicitation that Mrs. Lewis first began to
write fiction, and, if such is tjie case, the
world is indebted not a little to him.
Mr. Lewes baa wisely refrained from in
terfering with the natural development of
his wile’s genius, though be must have in
fluenced it indirectly not a little.
The “Scenes from Clerical Life,” first
published iu Blackwood, at once drew the
attention of thoughtful readers iu England.
Thackeray hailed them as proofs of the
advent of anew literary star of the first
magnitude, and they prepared tlie way for
the after popularity of “Adam Bede. ’ and
George Eliot’s later novels. These latter
works have been produced at rare inter
vals, and with great slowness, in compari
son of most other modern novelists.
Some five years ago. in the winter of
1867, the writer had tlie good fortune to
spend an evening in company with sev-
MACON, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1873.
oral of the literati of New York, who
had gathered to meet Mr. John Motley,
tlie writer of the Fortnightly Review, who
was then making a hasty visit to the United
States, and was just about returning to
England. Tlie main topic of conversation
during the evening was George Eliot, with
whom Mr. Motley was well acquainted,
and in whom all those present were spe
cially interested. Mr. Morley described
Mrs. Lewes ns a very plain person, but
with a most benevolent expression of
countenance. She is exceedingly pleasant
and genial in conversation, and is fairly
adored by her friends. By nature she is
of a decidedly religions disposition, and is
most deeply interested in subjects of that
nature. There is something very striking
in her manner, and Mr. Morley said siie
always reminded him of St. Paul. As
might bo expected from her writing.’ Hie
bus exquisite sensibilities, and is actually
sensitive of pain aud suffering in others,
so ns to much affected by tho disagreeable
sights that aro daily to bo met with in the
streets. Site lives a very retired life, and
sees but little society ou account of her
urftrriagc. while liko her husband, who is
the most brilliant talker in London society,
she is almost always sick, owing to the in
ability of her fine organization to bear
much strain.
Everything which affects tlie Welfare of
mankind interests her, and as she is of
encycloptediac cast, so her sympathies are
broad enough to embrace the whole of Hie
race. Siie is not much absorbed in poli
tics, Sir. Storely said, and takes but little
interest in the present reform movement iu
Great Britain.
A gentleman who rvas present asked
Sir. Morely if he thought George Eliot's
marriage was tlie result of impulse or was
deliberately undertaken. He replied, “tho
former,” ns the act was too much opposed
to many of her social opinions to have
been decided upon with calm premedita
tion.' Sirs. Lewes is a devoted follower of
tlie Compte, and believes that it ouly needs
an apostle of sufficient power to promul
gate his views in order to see the establish
ment of anew religion, based upon Posi
tivism. Her life since her marriage has
not been happy, principally through the
social ostracism which resulted from her
union with Mr. Lewes, and for a long time
she did not write anything. Mr. Merley
concludes his sketcli with a glowing tri
bute to the greatness of her genius. No
woman whom he had met had ever im
pressed him to anything tike tlie extent
she had done. There seemed to be some
thing apostolic about her moral character,
while her intellect was of the first order.
An American literary lady who visited
Mrs. Lowes not long sinco describes her
as having a very masculine appearance,
with strong and positively lilmely fea
tures. Her manner, however, is exceed
ingly womanly and the reverse of mascu
line. Her conversation was animated
and interesting, yet somewhat subdued.
Siie complained of being shut out from
female society and the loss of a certain
kind (ff spmpatby which this entailed,
and she seemed to appreciate highly the
visits of lady friends or admirers.
Her married life has been happy and
calm, its only drawback being that she
has been childless. Like the harmonious
wedded union of Carlyle, Browning, J. S.
Mill, Lowell and Longfellow, her marriage
goes far to disprove tiro oft-asserted theory
that two persons of literal y talent are not
fit to mate with each other.
Her favorite of all her writings was
“Silas Waruer,” though most readers pre
fer “Adam Bede.”
