ALL ILLS.
When Life’s tempestuous surges roar,
And ills on ills combin’d.
Arise t'engulph.oqr dearest hopes—
Religion calms the mind. - "
WJten Fortune’s adverse current rolls,
And no retreat we fir.d—
E’en thee amidst its lashing waves,
Religion cairns the mind.
When wild Destruction’s noon-day reign
Has to the tomb consign’d
Our nearest—dearest—firmeit friends,
Religion calms the mind.
And when, in contemplation’s hour,
We leave the world behind;
And eye—remote—the Judgment throne,
Religion calms the mind.
When fell Disease invades and mooks,
Nature and Skill combin’d— .
Though dread FterniU’a in view,
Religion, calms the mind. ■ .
Hail! Heaven-descended, peaceful quest,
To no one clime conGh’d;
Earth's distant tribes may too exclaim:
Religion calms the .miad.
OI light my soul, in Dea h’s dark honr,
With Heavenly visions, kind,
In raptures, mav I then exclaim:—
“Religion culms the mind.’’

Tenderly—tenderly—fold her to rest;
Clasp the hands lovingly over her breast;
Suiuothe the rich tresses away. from the face
Cbic.cicd with temiue beauty and grace.
Close ihe eye tenderly : once they Were bright
Hide the dark ins away tiom the light:
Weaiily, hopelessly, long did they weep—
Silently ! silently:! break not her sleep.
Close the lips carefully ; hushed is their moan,
EarthWbrn. and weary, the -pirit is gone—
Once they sun-cheerily: “Life l a-noglp m.”
Soup they sighed wearily, ’Welcome thet-mb.’
Truly life’s harp was most charmingly strung ;
O’er its bright golden strings melody bung;
Rudely tho strings have been broken in twain
Art cannot mend them—no, never) again.
Wreathe a dark garlaud : go, gather the pine;

True type of earthly lot o flitting away.

LETTER FROM A11SOURI.
On the Wing, August 4th, 18C9.
Messrs Editors :—As the Akgus
some times finds its way into the heart
of Misouri, bringing to poor wander
ing Georgians, news of friends’ still in
the land of the sun and the South,”
it is but fair 10 return a report from
the country beyond “the great river.”
Home friends are, no doubt, anxious
to know how this region of prairies
compares with “the land of cotton.’ -
Daring the last few months I have
crossed the State fr. m West to East
by the great Pacific R. R.; then alo g
the North Misomi as far as Macon
City; then by way of Hanibal & St.
Jo. R R. to ihe North as far os Pal
myra, and I find the whole ccnntry
is filled with plenty. There are num
bers of fields where the prairie is
fenced in and planted for the first
time in wheat and yielding from 20
to 30 bushels to ihe acre, and corn in
the same proportion.
Georgians are now frequently
found in Mo. And who can wonder
at their coming when they know of
the fine lands and good people here ?
The people, as in all the States, are of
different classes; but it has been my
good fortune to make friends among
those of good old Southern families.
1 spent several days, >n June, with
a family of friends at Cattleville and
TUi im. - uL-nj-amppy--aagrvfr
self in the time. This country israp-7
idly improving. Very often I sigh to
think my native State, with her ruin
and desolation, is-still crashed by
, northern hatred, while other States
Sire being made better, wiser,' aid
richer, by the talent of, the men and
daughters of Georgia
Hoping still to receive an occasion
al viaitirom the Argus, I remain
A Georgian.

Thoughts on the Times.—No. S.
It m true that the political a to:
“Radicalism and S'*tdawagi3^n‘ , has not
entirely ceased, but it has sufficiently
abated to ascertaiu the latitude and
longitude of the ship of State- And
while it is also true that the Ship of State
has not been steered by the chart of the
Constitution, and has been navigating
dangerous seas with .a “scilla and eha*
ribdis” on either hand, and the perils are'
by no means passed; yet, observation
eliminates the fact that all is not -loot,
but if common sense, right and justice
should take the helm, the chart of the
Constitution be followed and the oompass
of sober reflection and common honesty
he the guide, that good “old ship of
State” may yet be anchored safely in the
port of material, personal and national-
prosperity, with genuine harmony re
stored aiid happiness conferred. There
are many on board of this “good old
ship’ 3 who are laboring earnestly to this
end, and without false lights upon the
shore a better day is coming. Tea, a
better day, for it could scarcely be
worse. Egyptian darkness baa envel
oped the land, bnt here and there the
snn-light of right, justice, correct moral-
thinking and prosperity begins to shine
and these genial rays begin to expand
the rain-bow of hope. The day of car
pet-bag rale has been numbered, and its
fate written on the walk It cannot be
that this goodly land, so wonderfully
blessed of Divine Providence in climate,
3oil, capacity for production and so ■ va
ried in its frnits can remain nntilled and
unfruitful. The innate energies of a
great people—great in purpose and
great in action—-will soon,- in spite of
untoward circumstances, develop the!
resources of the cohhtry and force no*
tioual prosperity. “King Cotton," de
throned for a time by 'the convulsion of
the cares of life were forgotten and
I became a child again, as I played
with my friends amid the lilacs and
kuney-suckles or shuck the while
rose vines to make a snow storm of pule
petals. A snow storm, as my child
hood had known, made only of beau
ty and fllgrance. I watched the bees
and noted how a Misourian secures
such beautiful light-colored honey ;
and then I found my way to the viue-
yard and orchard, to learn bow a few

A most gratifying feature of the times
is the almost universal energy and in

The sable' sons of Africa are awakening
from the intoxication of freedom, and,
are appreciating the stern fact that free
dom and idleness arc not synonomons
terms; aiid they with unwonted energy
have gone to work and are beginning to
demean themselves as men.
The system of free labor will readily
and easily adjust itself if undisturbed by
out-side influences. This fact is patent
to nil, since the removal of tlio control

short,- for there were new friends to! that the best friend to the negro is
be seen, and I hastened on to Troy.
And the wonder is, how a little South
ern town, like Troy, found its way
out here in the West. It is a quiet
little place, some twelve miles north
of 'he N. M. R. R., nestled down m a
deep shade with “The Spring” form
ing the central attraction of the town.
It is a chai noting little town with four
churches and two high schools. The
people, of coarse, are religious and
educated. I entered by moon-light
and the appearance of the houses, the
flower gardens and the shade-trees at
-'nee impressed me with a partiality
for the place.
The cordial reception of my friends
and the home manner of everything
around lent a charm to the visit; and
at night, whether sleeping or waking,
I cannot say, but I was dreaming of
“my sweet sonny home,” when I was
startled by. the joyous song of a mock
ing bird, quite near my window.
Poor little bird, far away from its
.sunny clime, it .has found Iroy, and
for a few years past has made its
home here. Poor bird ! why had it
left its native place? Had rude
hoards wasted its home ? And ernei
friends murdered its loved oues?
Perhaps so- But there was another,
h >me found in the West, and in re-
torn for kindness of the new friends,
the little stranger bird poured fourth
iig sweetest, merriest songs. Who
w mkl not heed die lesson ?
. After having ICroy, I took the N. M.
B R. abd passed the little town of
Jam -sborgl ’ I had not visited it for
twelve months, ^was^ surprised to’find
tbt town had more than doubfod it-
the Southern man who has raised him
and been raised with him. The associ
ations of a lifo-time cannot be easily
brokin; tlieir influence and impressions
are potent for good or evil and the black
man is realizing the fact, and ia begin
ning to look to the tone source of pro
tection, employment and enconrage-
mont. There need, aad there will not
be any coDflct of races. “The laborer
is worthy of his hire,’’ and no one i»
more willing to accord this truth than
the true Southerner, whether “hire”
comes under the patriarchal relation or
in the form of-stipulated wages. All that
is asked is that capital and brains and
labor be left to regulate themselves, aad
harmony and prosperity will moat aa*
