Idling I sit in this mild twilight, dim, Whilst birds in wild swift vigils circling skim; Light winds in sighing sink, till, rising bright, Night’s Virgin Pilgrim swims in vivid light. SPRING. All eyes are anxious turned towards Spring, That to us will glad tiding bring Of busy life, and a return Of flowers, for which so many yearn ; Then will the chilling blasts be gone, And Summer will saon follow on, And birds will fill the air with song, To cheer us as we glide along. W i THE FALL OF EVE. Eve, Eden’s Empress, needs defended be; The serpent greets her when she seeks the tree. Serene she sees the speckled tempter creep; Gentle he seems—perverted schemer deep— Yet endless pretext ever fresh prefers ; Perverts her senses, revels when she errs, Sneers when she weeps, regrets, repents she fell; Then, deep revenged, reseeks the nether hell! GOLDEN GRAINS. 0 Thou must be true to thyself If thou wouldst teach; Thoa soul most overflow, if thou Another sdfl weufdit reach ; It needs the overflowing heart To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thought Shall the world's fame read ; Speak truly, and thy word Shall be a faithful seed; Live truly, and thy life shall he A great and noble creed. baby’s walk. One step: mamma’s near you, sweet. Two steps: bless the little feet! Three steps : move the tooties so. Four steps : such a way to go ! Five steps : that was bravely done. Six steps : don’t you like the fun ? Seven steps: never mind the fall. Eight steps : that’s the best of all. " Nine steps : what! not tired yet! Ten steps : hurrah, little pet! Eleven steps : turn about, and then, Ttvelve steps ! mamma’s arms again! THE WORKINGMAN. The noblest men I know on earth Are men whose hands are brown with toil, ’ Who, backed by no ancestral groves, Hew down the wood and ti'L the soil; And win thereby a prouder name Than follows king or warrior’s fame. The workingman, whate’er the task, Who carve the stone or bear the hod, ’ They* bear upon their honest brows The royal stamp and seal of God ; Are worthier of their drops of sweat Thau diamonds in a coronet. God bless the noble workingmen, Who rear the cities of the plain, Who dig the mines, who build the ships, And drive the commerce of the main ; God bless them! for their toiling hands Have wrought the glory of all lands. WORD GEMS. There is much virtue iu a kiss when well delivered, says Sidney Smith. Never mind where you work ; care j more about how you work. Never mind j who sees, if God approves. We often omit the good we might do in j consequence of thinking about that which : it is not of our power to do. A little philosophy inclineth men’* minds to atheism ; but depth in philoso phy bringeth men’s minds to religion.— Bacon. ‘ Good Dr. Dwight, the celebrated theoL •gist, once said : “He that maketh a littl j child happy for one hour is a co-workesr i with God.” PERSONAL. A. T. Stewart will not sit for a photo- j graph. Philip Philips sailed for America from London on the 22d ult. It is proposed to add the nice sum of $150,000 to the annal allowance of the Prince of Wales. •• Senator Pomeroy is wretched. His face (not his moral, but physical face) is not an ill-looking countenance ; and now some of the illustrated newspapers are J printing portraits of him. looking perhaps as the artists think such a man should look villainous perhaps. STAGE NOTES. PMiss Clara Louise Kellogg goes to Europe in June. Mine. Taglioni, though 65, is as active as many a woman of 40. Edwin Forrest's estate at the time of his death was valued at $320,000.

Philadelphia has eleven regular and permanent theatres open and doing a prosperous business ; these not including a large number of first-class places of amusement that are not theatres. According to an Italian gazette, there are now more than thirty principal vecal ists singing on the Italian stage who are not natives of Italy. An enthusiastic dramatic critic says of popular actress that “when she ran out to meet her lover, she carried the whole of the audience with her.” Quite an armful. The question now agitating certain the ological circles is Can a minister of the Gospel witness thejjgilet and preserve the Mcredness of his calling? Jarrell ancl Palmer say he can, if he will secure a scat ■early. Ole Ball will titillate the intestinal frag ments of a defunct feline, with plucked capilllary fibres from the caudal appen dage of “old Bobbin,” in Dubuque, outlie 6th of this month. RELIGIOUS ITEMS. The Baptist Year Book, which is now passing rapidly through the press, shows that somewhat over 84,000 baptisms took place during tlie past year, lieports have not been received from a number of asso ciations, or the figures would be much larger. A Cat lull ic priest in Grand Falls, Nova Scotia, burned the Bible of one of his for mer parishioners, who hail become a Pro testant. He was brought before a magis trate, and agreed to pay for the destroyed Bible and the costs of prosecution, and apologized for the offense. Some of the Baptist papers are discuss ing the question whether regular old-line Baptists should commune at a table where lree-will Baptists arc permitted to partici pate. One hundred thousand converts were re ceived into the fellowship of the Baptist church last year. Efforts are being made to induce Ilev. C. H. Spurgeon to visit America during the summer, and we learn they are likely to be crowned with success. FIGUKES. Chattanooga has $3,000,000 invested in industrial establishments. To show how much the working of raw material affects its usefulness, someone has arranged the following: A bar of iron, worth $5, worked into horse shoes, is worth $lO 50; made into needles, it is worth $355 ; made into penknife blades, it is worth $384 ; and into balance springs of watches, it is wortli $230,000. India got away with over 8,000,000 pounds of opium last year. In the streets of Paris, 45,000 vehicles annually ruu over 1,135 people, of whom 12 per cent, are mortally injured. The telescope of Lord Kossc reveals 70,000,000 worlds ; only 3,000 of these are visible to the naked eye. Kansas expects to add 75,000 to her population this year if the grasshoppers and potato-bugs are not too numerous. Germany will expend $07,000,000 in reviewing and completing her system of fortresses. Vermont —where, as is well known, no liquor is sold—has 10,000 drunkards; 4,000 habitual "hard drinkers,” and 20,000 young men just beginning to drink. The refuse which passes into the sewers of the forty-three largest cities of this country is estimated to have an annual cash value of over $11,000,000. The total number of acres planted in cotton in 1872 is set down at 8,482,005. Ninety-one thousand six hundred per sons made theii home in Texas during the year 1872. Colonel Tom Scott is said to control $670,000,000 worth of railways. THE LADIES. The London Echo thinks, probably, there is no one way in which 1 adies, oth erwise good and honorable, behave so thoroughly ill,and do so much mischief,as by their violation of the principles of ve racity and justice iu their dealing regard ing the transfer of servants. To conceal any fact which distinctly militates against honesty, morality, or sobriety, is to be guilty of a most serious deception. What do ladies think of this? Springfield, Mass., has a young widow, gay and facinating, but just now uncertain of the effect of her charms upon a young gentleman of her acquaintance. She could not remain in suspense, and with strategy worthy of the cause, she procured the in sertion of a notice of her death in the papers, hoping by this means to as certain whether the particular young man cared for her. He did not attend the fu neral, and she is m the dark still. It is said that to be a widow with a for tune and some pretty remnant of youth, is the ambition of many ladies, who consider that such an existence can be made fra grant with gratified tastes, elegant with deserved admiration, and superb in the liberties of an unrestricted life, but few there are who are widowed and left in the possession of such consolation. Mr. Whipple says women, to the end of time, will never be tired of gazing on those insipidly handsome faces, and those perfectly but impossibly fitting garments, which gJadden their eyes when they look at plates of the fashions. An innocent female justice iu Wyoming anxiously inquired of the lawyer, the other day : “ Who is this Highlow .Tacit that I hear so much talk about ? ” SUNDAY THOUGHTS. The Scripture is a river of truth ancl lore that flows from God. The children of God have much in hand and much more in hope. He who foresees calamities, suffers them twice over.—[Porteu*. Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.—[Lavator. The passionate arc like men standing on their heads ; they see all things the wrong way. Best satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.—[Py thagoras. Every base occupation makes one sharp in its practice, ami dull in every other.— [Sir P. Sidney. Naturally, every man is his own Alpha and his own Omega. lie has his begin ning//ront himself, and his ending in him self. " ■* *■ ' No'doctrine' is good for anything that does not leave behind it an ethereal fur row, ready for the planting of seed which shall spring up and bear abundant harvest. When one is always striving to please self, there is always a dearth of wtys and means. But let an effort be made lo please others, ami what a variety of aven ues are opened. Those are not mothers, but monsters, thft, while they should.be teaching their children the way to heavan with their Bps, are leading them the way to hell with their lives. MACON, GA„ SATURDAY; MARCH 8, 1873, Opportunities are running to waste everywhere, like the golden fruit of the over-burdened orchard. They are not confined to parallels oflatltude, Iu run ning after them, wo are perpetually run ning away from them. We should accustom ourselves to self denial and patient wailing ; for the bless ings that God reserves for His people are like fruit which will be wholesome when it has had time to ripen, but will certainly be noxious if greedily aud prematurely gathered. fuemiijm; list —OF THE— Bill!
