Along the silvery summer sea We saw the white sails drifting, And sunset glories, silently, Their golden heights were lifting ; My love sank low, as sank the glow Across the shining river, “ The day may die, but you and I Will live and love forever.” Forever and ever, Where the shadow falletli never ; The song tnny die, but you and I Shall live and love forever ! Sweet day that sank in sunset liirlit. Sweet song that failed for sweetness ! Sweet soul that rose beyond my sight To breathe in heaven's completeness The song rings still —I hear it thrill Across Dcuth’s solemn river : “ The day may die, but yon and I Shall live aud love forever.” Forever and ever. Where the shadow falletli never; The song may die, but you and I Shall live and love'forever. The Girl of "the Period. HOW SHE ACTS IN THE HORSE CAR. She stands upon the curb with a little springy, up-and-down motion, as if she had spiral springs in the soles of her gait ers. As her car approaches she slicks the point of her colored parasol in the direc tion of the driver with a small jerk. The car stops. She gives one or two more lit tle springy motions before she leaves the pnvement, and then dances to the car. As she ascends the step the conductor seems to consider it absolutely necessary to her safety to place one of his hands on the small of her back while be rings the bell with the other. She enters the car with the spiral springs still bobbing her up and down; and, as all the seats are full, 3he stands holding her hands in front of her and gazing off into limitless space, as if the one idea which never enters her mind, and which never could enter it un der any possible circumstances, is that some man will rise and offer her his seat. But a young man in the corner does rise, and immediately the fellow next to him moves quickly into the corner, as if the performance of that maneuver had formed the subject of his anxious thought during many years of his life. To get a corner seat would seem to be ihe chief end of man. When the young mau rises, the young lady suddenly becomes conscious that there ia something nearer to her than the horizon, and she gives two or three more lithe bounces and says : ‘•Keep your seat 1” The young mau is •embarrassed, and says he is going to get -out soon, whereupon the fair being dances toward the seat, sinks into it, and pretends that the fact of the existence of any young man, who once occupied that seal, and who is going to get out, has entirely faded out of her consciousness. She smoothes down her dress and its supplemental frib bery, flounces and pennants, and again looks far beyond the confines of the car into emptiness. She knows she is expected by the other women in tire car to remain unconcious of their presence while they study her clothes. They immediately begin. They stare at her dress, her sack, her hat, her hack hair, her jewelry, her gloves, her hows and ribbons, her miscellaneous mil linery, until the entire costume is photo graphed in their memories, and the price estimated,-and a critical opinion formed, with a resolution to hare a bonnet of the same kind, or a “ body” cut upon the same pattern. When the young lady thinks that this examination is concluded, she becomes conscious again, aDd begins to look around and see how the other women are dressed. , She examines each one in detail, and in a few moments she is in full possession of th necessaiy information. Presently a young mau witli whom she is acquainted gets into the car, and he stands clutching the strap and trying in vain to keep in a graceful attitude while he con verses with her. All the women begin to wonder whether she cares particularly for him—and, as she knows their thoughts, she is so distant that the young man be comes more embarrassed than ever, and makes renewed struggles to maintain a graceful position. When she wishes to get out she rises, smoothes down hei fiib bery again, indulges in two or three spi iugs and dances along the platform. The conductor again considers it imper lively necessary to press the small of her back. She dances down the steps, dances to the pavement, and then dances along the street, fully aware of the fact that the women in the car Lave all turned round to look at her, and serenely confident in the assurance that she has on good clothes, which fit her splendidly. As she disap pears the conductor turns to the man w ho is smoking a cigar on the platform, and re marks that she is “a crusher.” HOW THINGS COME HOUND. Romance is no respecter to color, race, or previous condition of servitude. Ihe simple onetlireaded story of “ Enoch Ar den” is eclipsed by the tangled skein of romance in lives of Cobb and Hammond, and Samuels aud their wives and progeny. The parties are all black people, and some of them were formerly slaves in the good old times before the rebellion. Henry Cobb was the property of a planter named Cobb, in Louisiana, and Henry Cobb possessed the affections of his wife, about all he did possess. In 1859 he was hired oat by bis master and runjon the riv er The captain of the boat on which he was deck hand threatened to have him flogged one day for some offence, and Henry not relishing the prospect, hid himself, and managed to get to Cairo on some thence by the underground milway he went North. Since 18(il lie lias lived near Chatham, Ontario. As it is not good for mail to be alone, he married a wife.— His first wife continued in slavery for sev eral yews, and was living a slave at Holly Spring. Mo., when the emancipation proc lamation set her free. She too, went North, and met a man named Samuels, and married him, and the couple were raising a family in Detroit. The other day Cobb, alias Hammond, went to Detroit to get a doctor for his wife, who was very ill. Mrs. Samuels, formerly Mrs. Cobb, was out that, day for a walk ; a hand tapped her ou the shoul der, ami she nearly grew while when she turned round and saw her old husband. They sat dawn 011 a bench ami talked and laughed and cried together, and fiually they disappeared together, and liav# not been seen by auy of their acquaintances since. Samuels heard of the incident, and does not blame his wile for going off with Cobb. The best thing he could do would be to send Mrs. llammond a doctor, aud go himself aud see how she is getting along.— St. Louis Republican. GIRDS. HOW THE FEATHERED SONGSTERS ARK TAUGHT TO SING THEIR FESTIVE LAYS. A FEW REMARKS CONCERNING RIRDS AND TnEIR TRAINING. Each kind oi bird sings it own peculiar note, but all may be taught to sing regular tunes. The mocking bird and thrush learn tunes without training. Hut, by a regular education, other birds may be come fine performers. A contributor to the Nursery says : Last summer I Has at a friend's house at Nahant. I rose early in the morning and went down stairs to walk on the piazza. While there I heard, as I thought, some person whistling a tune in a very sweet style. I looked around, but could sec no one. ’ Where could the sound come from ? I looked up and saw a little bird iu a cage. The cage Mas hung in the midst of flowers and twining plants. “ Cau it be,” thought I, “that such a little bird as that has been taught to sing a regular tune so sweet ?” I did not know what to make of it. When my friend came down stairs she told me that it was the little bird who had whistled the sweet tune. Then my friend cried out to the bird, “ Come, Bully, Bull, sweet little bullfinch, give us one more tkne. Aud then this dear little bird bop ped about the cage, looked at its mistress, and whistled another sweet tune. It was so strange to hear a bird whistle a regular tune. “ Now, Bully,” 6aid my friend, “ you must give us ‘Yankee Doodle.’ Come, come, you shall have some nice fresh seed if you will whistle ‘Yankee Doodle.’” And the little thing did whistle it, much to my surprise. My friend then told me that she brought the bird from the little town of Fulda, iu Germany, where there are little schools for teaching these birds to sing. When a bull-liuch has learned to sing two or three tunes, he is worth from S4O to SSO, for he Will bring that price in France or Eng land. Great skill and patience are needed to teach these birds. Few teachers can have the time to give to the children under them so much care as the bird teachers give to their bird pupils. The birds are put iuto classes of about six each, aud kept in a dark room for a time. Here, when their food is given to them, they are made to hear music, so that, when they have eaten their food, or when they want more food, they will sing and try to imitate the tune they have just heard. This tune they probably connect with the act of feeding. As soon as they begin to imitate a few notes the light is let into the room, and this cheers them still more, aud make them feel as if they would like to sing. In some of these schools the birds are allowed neither light or food till they begin to sing. These are the schools where the teachers are most strict. After being thus taught in classes, eacli hull fiuch is put under the care of a boy, who plays his organ from morning till night, while the muster or mistress of the school goes round to see how tiie pupils are getting on. The bull-fiuclics seem to know at once when they are soolded and when they are praised by their master or mistress ; and they like to be petted when they have done well. The training goes on for nine months ; and then the birds have got their educa tion and sent to England or France, and sometimes to America, to be sold. All animals, all birds, and all reptiles— even fishes—are susceptible of culture and improvement’. So are plants, roots and fruits. And above and beyond all are hu man beings capable-of almost illimitable developments both of body and mind. A strange story of crime is told of a Frenchman who has just been arrested nnd brought to Parls. Alfred Eripc began his criminal career by committing for gery while he was a clerk in the Prefec ture of the Seine. He fled, but was sen tenced to the hulks for ten yeais with hard labor. He stole the certificates of birth and baptism of an Old school-fellow named Lemaitre. and enlisted in a husar regi ment. He deserted aud the real Lemaitre was arrested. For this crime Kripe was sentenced to the hulks Air another ten years. He again managed to elude justice, and became Professor in a school in the neighborhood of Paris. In 1863 he went to Laon and married with the papers aud under the name of Lenmifre. His wife died, and in 1868 he married again. Mean time the real Lemaitre got a place on the Eastern Railway and met in Fismes the usurper of his name, who was employed in a sugar-ware factory. Lemaitre de nounced him and he was arrested. MACON, GA., MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1873. A California widow lately went for a youth who had wooed aud won her, but was disposed to coquet, with a pistol and a marriage license.

THE PUbMIOI WEEKLY. IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; it is also conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that newspapers are too best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. THE MONBOB ADVERTISER reaches more of toe people trading with Ma con than any other journal pahlisbed in the country; It lti, therefore, toe tmt medium of communication with to*, planting Interests. We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in Ttvt Advertmr, In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its’ value exceeds that of all other Journals in which they are represented. The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and toe rijieness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS. No advertisements are admitted wbieh are not believed to be above question aud of real valne, and frefon parties so unquestionably re liable that the readers of The Advertiser will be safe in ordering them from any distance. T* our readers, to* fact of it* appearance here baa all the weight of endorsement and wathonty. Address, JAS. P- HARRISON Forsyth, tteomla.
