[These fine stanzas will he recognized from a young
hand that paints as lovely pictures as ever the angel of
the sun painted upon the cloud canvass of the skies :]
The Two Angels.
BY SALLIE REEDY.
A boy at midnight sat alone,
And quick throbs o’er his being stole,
Like those to graver manhood known
When high resolves are in the soul.
Two winged angels softly leave
The brightest star in all the sky,
And one is fair as sinless Eve—
The other as the serpent’s eye.
Now to the boy they softly glide
And fold their starry wings,
Then rest them, on either side,
And watch him as he sits betMjjn ; - Jj
Each angel holds within l;ei liafl J
A spotless scroll of purest “'hfWL. ]
For God has sent them with
To write the boy s resolve- tlin tight.
“ I will he great I"—his kit cheujgajj.ini<-d- -
‘ That men may shout in cc<^Br,
When first their wandering learned |
ltow like
The angel on the left hand
And wrote it with suspended breath;
She knew ambition pft beguiled
To sin and sacrifice and death.
,f I shall have foes as greatness hath,
Whate’er may be its brilliant sphere,
But T will sweep them fr-m my path,
Or maim their puny souls with fear.”
The angel on the left hand caught
And wrote the proud boast with a sneo ;
Thejingel on the right hail naught
Upon her page, but one bright tear.
“ Love, .still the Poet’s chosen theme.
Shall be a thing abjured by me;
And yet—my childhood's happiest dream
Came to me, on my mother’s knee
My mother’s knee! Why v. hat is this
That on my lips is trembling now I
A’prayer 1 I almost feel the kiss
Her dying lips left on my brow.”
She’d rather hear her name and mine
In some poor creature’s night prayer told,
Than have the proud world rear a shrine
And write it there in burning gold.”
The angel on the left a while
Seemed half in doubt and half in rage !
The other smiled a warm bright smile
That dried the tear upon her page.
“ I will be brave and ask each heart,
That faints in life, to lean on mine,
And strive to do that better part
That makes a mortal feel divine;
, ‘ And if my faults should win a foe
Relentless through all coming time,
I’ll pity one who may not know
Compassion makes this life sublime.”
The boy looked npwanl to the sky,
But ere his vow was half-way done,
And ere the light passed from his eye,
The angel on the left had flown;
The angel on the right was there
And lor one joyful moment stood,
Then waved her bright wings on the air
And bore her message back to God.

Shadow and Sunlight.
It is a wearisome old world, I said lo
myself the other morning, as I sat by my
chamber window; a deceitful world, lull
of fair promises that are always broken, of
bright anticipations that are never realized.
I> thought of the long wail of anguish tint
i§ ever more rising from the earth ; of the
broken homes, the bleeding hearts, the
crushed hopes. 1 remembered that every
time the clock ticks some soul, gasping,
groaning, agonizing, is torn from its frail
body and sent forth naked and shuddering
into the mysterious future.
Here a bride with the marriage vow
scarce cold on her lips—the orange flow
ers that wreathe her hairunfaded—isstriek
endown. Death claims her for his bride,
and they fold her hands over the still bo
som, and the sunshine and the glory of
earth seemed buried in her grave.
Little children, around whom many
fond hopes clustered, fall by the way.—
Fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters,
loose their warm clasps of our
breathe a few faint words of fiirewelkland
pass over the cold river, leaving us tfiph-j
ing but sad memories and darkened
The green mounds multiply in the gravM
yard, and the vacant seats by the firusiiW
Is it not a wearisome world—a lonesome
world.
Then T thought of the long catalogue of
crime that with each day’s record grows
longer and blacker ; how map hates and
persecutes his brother man, until the blood!
of many a murdered Abel calls
‘from the ground ; of the prison houMPpI
dot the earth, each with its share
and wickedness that no prison Idtr tflmnQjj
of the gross ignorance and supersJjph thal
fills the world—the deeds of darltifess ttomP
for righteousness’ sake ; of the Pagan mo
ther throwing the child of God has com
mitted to her care into the swift
burying it in the ground, even while its
sweet,, pleading eyes are turned to her for
protection:
And I thought of the high aspirations
that finds no fulfillment—the broken day
dreams—the restless search after happi
ness—of the many who seek, the few who
find it.
Fame, pleasure, learning, all have their
votaries—thirsting, panting for something
to fill the soul’s deep yearning, and finding
but “ cisterns, broken cisterns, that can
hold no water.” A weary, weary soul.
But hark ! what was it that brought the
glad tears to my eyes and made me sav in
voluntarily : Life is pleasant—life is plea
sant, and God is good.
It was but a bird’s song —a wild, sweet
carrol from the elm tree, but it thrilled
through every gloomy corner of my heart,
carrying sunshine with, and spanning my
clouds with the bow of promise. “Hallpr
lujali!” cried toy-'exultant soul, “for the
Lord God omnipotent reignetb.”
It is a glorious world to live in—a beau
tiful world, for God made it ; and from the
frozen North to the burning tropics, he has
crowded it with the scenes of beauty.
Out iiLilig wide prairie, where none but
.wild flower, as none
but God c uld pain t them. * Avo v
preen forest where the breath < fcniin -
is sweet, the sunshine falls’ Ppfullv
through the thick .bQwEMCdJfijiu the old

And among mJpiio will say that even
notv morfIPHPP mingles with their lot
there are sad hearts, but so are
Mwe many, happy ones. Every night, as
The sun bids good-bye to one smiling vil
lage after another, thousands of little chil
dren. with folded hands and quiet hearts,
kneel by a mother’s side, and in different
language pray to the one giod Father in
Heaven; then peacefully fall asleep to wake
fcvith fresh glee in the morning.
* True, the world is full of sin and suffer
ing, but its soil had been trodden hy the
feet and hallowed by the cross of Him who
knew no sin, and the Prince of Peace shall
yet reign King of nations.
True, we are striving always to drink at
the broken cisterns, but if we will, we may
come to the Fountains of Living Waters;
and above the turmoil of life is heard ever
the voice of the world’s Redeemer, saying,
\ “If any man thirst, let him come unto me
[ and drink.
Thanks, little bird, for your morning
carol. Go sing it to the other sad heaits,
and teach them that God is good, and life
II is gift.
The Old Fashioned Times.
What pleasant times those old fashion
ed ones were. In those days people were
so free from ostentation, there was so little
strife, and slander was not in our vocabu
lary. The terms “ladv” and “gentleman”
were by us considered we
were of the opinion that “man” and “wo
man” were more dignified, more noble
terms ;we think so yet. Away down near
a little grove—l think we used to call it a
thicket—an old fashioned house stood ; we
feared that we were introducing innova
tions when we called the house a cottage ;
to have applied the word mansion, or villa,
would have been an unpardonable offence.
Oh ! were not the Gays passed under that
roof the most pleasant of our lives ? At
night, around the cheerful board how ] er
fcetly forgetful were we of most worldly
matters. The little branch where we used
to “ play Fulton,” and send our tiny boats
on their trial trips, at night might murmur
on ; we had no further use for it. How
angry we got at a Byronic person who
•• made poetry,” just because he nulled that
same branch a “ meandering brooklet.”
How eagerly we gathered around the
hearth, at night, to listen to the reading of
the Children of the Abbey, tlie story of
Paid and Virginia, or the adventures of*
the unfortunate Charlotte Temple. What
tears we shed—they were sincere and heart
felt ones —at the story of poor Charlotte.
Then the-parent feigned dimness of sight,
could read no more, handed the hook to
little Sue. and she read on till sleep, with
velvet touch, lured her awav. We were
old fashioned even in our names. There
was plain Mary ; probably Lizzie, Matilda,
Susan or Martha were around that hearth ;
we are positive that no Esmeralda, Estelh
or Victoria were there. John, James and
Henry were were familiar names with us,
and a little white-haired youngster, who,
at eve occupied an envied seat on father’s
knee, rejoiced in the name of George
Washington Smith. A school teacher
one day, spent the winter with
the many startling tales,
HJmard of the tyrant Nero ; forthwith
Kn l name was given to our dog. In those
Hys it never occurred to us that a Manny
Wr a McCormick would he born to cause
the scythe and cradle to rust and crumble

never call ‘‘Governor” and “ old woman,”)

A Gentle Boy.
“ Be very gentle with her, my sou,” said
Mrs. 8., as she tied on her little girl’s bon
net. and sent her out to play with her elder
brother.
They had not been out very long before
a cry was heard, and presently J. came in
and threw down his hat. saying, “I hate

jdaying with girls; there’s no fnn
them ; they cry in a minute.” .
“ What have you been doing wit a your
sistei* ? I see her lying there on the grav
el walk. You have torn her frock and
pushed her down. I am afraid you forgot,
mv caution to be gentle.”
“ Gentle ! Boys can’t be gentle, moth
er. It is their nature to be rough and
hardy ; they are the stuff soldiers and sail
ors are made of. It is very well to talk of
a gentle girl; but a gentle boy, it sounds
ridiculous J”
And yet, J., a few years hence, you
would be very angry if any one were to
say you were not a, gentleman.”
“ A gentleman ! I had never thought
of dividing the word that way before. Be
ing gentle always seems to me like being
weak and womanish.”
“ far from being the case, ray
son, thal you will always find the bravest
men are gentle. The spirit of
chivalry that you so much admire, was a
spirit of the noblest chivalry and the ut
most gentleness combined. Still, I dare
say, you would rather be called a manly
than a gentle hoy !”
“Yes, indeed, mother.”
“ Well, then, my son, it is my great
wish that you should endeavor to unite the
| two. Show yourself manly when exposed
to danger, or see others in peril; he manly
when called on to speak the truth, though
the speaking of it may bring reproach up
on you ; be manly when you are in sick
ness and pain. At the same time be gen
tle, whether you are with females or men.
Be gentle towards all men. By putting
the two spirits together, you will deserve a
; name which perhaps you will not so great
ly object to.”
“1 see what you mean, dear mother;
and I will endeavor to be what you wish—-
a gentlemanly boy.”
Timosfr and Hie Pool.
The inhabitants of Neapolis, hearing of
the approach of the conqueror, prepared
to defend themselves with vigor, but Na
sur counseled them to do nothing of the
sort, but to trust to him alone, and his
mediation with Timour. The people were
doubtful of his sirccess, hut they yielded.
Before proceeding to tlie camp of the be
sieger, Nasur, who knew it was useless to
approach the great chief without a present,
considered what gift was likely to be most
acceptable. He resolved it should be fruit,
but he hesitated between figs and quinces.
“I will consult with my wife,” said Nasur
ed-Deen ; and he accordingly did so. The
lady advised him to take quinces, as the
larger fruit. “ Very good,” said Nasur,
“that being your opinion, I will take the
figs.” When he reached the foot of the
throne of Tamerlane, he announced him
self as the ambassador from the beleaguer
ed citizens* and presented, as an offering
of their homage, his trumpery basket of
figs. The chief burst into a rage, and or
dered them to be flung at the head of the
representative of tlie ] eople of Jengi-Schc
her. The courtiers pelted him with right
good will ; aud each time he was struck,
Nasur, who stood patient and immovable,
gently exclaimed—“ Now Allalvbe prais
ed !” or, “Oh, the Prophet be thanked ?”
or, “Oh, admirable! how can 1 be suffi
ciently grateful!” “What dost thou mean,
fellow ?” asked Timour; “we peltyou whh
tigs and you seem to enjoy it.” “Ay, tru
ly great, sir,” replied Nasur, “I gratefully
enjoy the consequence of my own wit. My
wife counseled me to bring quinces, but 1
chose to bring figs; and well that I did.
for with figs you have only bruised me, but
had 1 brought quinces, you would have
beaten my brains out.” The stern con
queror laughed aloud, and declared that
for the sake of one fool, he would spare all
the fools in the city, male and female,
them and their property. “Then,” cried
Nasur, “the entire population is safe !”
and he ran homeward to communicate the
joyfu lin tell igo nee. —Do ran.
Newspaper Advertising— How to
Build up a City.— The Memphis Avalan
che has a good article on the above sub
ject, which is worthy the attention of bu
siness men of this or any other town. We
commend it for the present to the consid
eration of our men of business of every de
scription, in Newnan, and we desire them
to read and ponder upon the good and
wise counsel contained in the following
extract;.
It is not only the duty of every business
man to Advertise, but it is also his duty to
patvouim? rvmi cumniu His newspaper, inde
pendent of the advantage he derives from
its perusal; for newspapers are to a town
what advertisements are to its merchants! j
They do for a town gratuitously what ad
vertising does for men of biifiness at alight
cost. They concentrate public attention
upon its affairs, keep the town, its mar
kets, its wares, its buildings, its sights,
“lions” and wonders, its attractions of ev
ery name and phase, uppermost in the
public mind. They go to every nook and
corner of the surrounding country, into
every man’s d#or, and to every domestic
fireside—they go abroad to great distan
ces, into other communities, among stran
gers, exciting an interest in its concerns,
and spreading information of its trade and
attractions wherever they go. The more
the public at large hear and read of a city <
or town, the more they are tempted to see.
visit and explore it. What woul l a mer
chant be if his business wars as obscure a<
lus name? What would a merchant’s
sign board over his door, do in attracting
trade, if he did not send it with a eata
logue of lus wares, in a newspaper, to eve
ry man’s door? Who would be tempted
to visit a ctfy that had no newspapers, ami
of which they should hear only accidental
ly and once in a year or a life time ?
Good newspapers give more importance
to a town or city than all other agencies
combined. What passion is more univer
sal than the passion for reading newspa
pers. and learning the news ? What dis
position is more general or uncontrolable
than the disposition to visit the places that
we hear of and read of in every newspa
per that comes to our door P In New York
and the Yankee towns, their newspapers
are not ample enough to hold the adver
tisements of all the multifarious enterpris
es and avocations there in vogue, and eve
ry expedient is resorted to, to familiarize
the public at a distance with their concern
ments. A town can never grow to he the
commercial emporium of a country until
it becomes the topic of every tongue, and
the centre of attraction to the gaze of eve
ry man, woman, beau, liolle, boy, girl and
child in the regions round about and this
can never be done except by means of
newspapers.— Neivnan Banner.

A Georgia Document.
The document subjoined is a genuine
one. It was abstracted, no matter how or
by whom, from the State House in Mil-
L dgeville, and deposited in our hands for
publication. The author of this report
was a Chairman of a Special Committee,
raised at his instance, to report on the sub
ject of education, after a disagreement by
the Senate’s standing committee on that
subject. It will be seen that, though the
composition of the honorable Senator illus
trates the necessity of early culture, lie
himself was keenly alive to the advantages
|of education. Withal, he is said to be a
very sensible man, and to have made an
I excellent member.
Here is the Report, which was put into
| shipshape, hy a clerk or brother member,
and made a very respectable appearance in
