P© IT ’ § ©©KWHS, From the Louisville Journal. [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. Lexington, Miss. m 0 § © IJL S, .A NY . 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.

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 on the father and mother, (whom we could never call ‘‘Governor” and “ old woman,”) wont oil’ on a long journev, Hie stars ; they told us that angels would them in that place called Heaven.

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 THE LPSO.V PILOT.

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. From the LaGrange Reporter. 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.
