Life is al! not a summer day,
A thing of joy and gladn- ss.
The sunbeams shine, then fade awax;
And e’en the hearts that seem most gay
Must have their times of sadness!
Life is not all a darksome storm.
Through which no rainbow gieameth;
No hcHit is always left forlorn;
Ail i every night will have its moru.
How dark soe'er it seemetb.
There's ne’er a sky so brigh’ and clear.
But clouds will come unbidden :
Each happy smile must have its tear;

Siwrni—An Humorous and Scientific View
of the .Yl alter.
My head will not he visible for a week.
I read in the almanacs that on the 13th
of November, A. D. 18GG, there was to
be a grand shower oT meat or meteors from
way up there waj* down here, commenc
ing at 3 o'clock in the early part of the
A. M. The papers all said so too. The
! wives, widows, children, cooks, chamber-
I maids, pretty girls and unpretty girls all
. said so. What a meteor was .1 knew not.
As the shower was coming from the Little
Bear, thought it was a sausage shower,
j which I could hear. Thought it was a
sausage storm, lor the
the four sages saw
i meet it. with platonic emotion. Then 1
found it was not meat, but a shower of
stones in liquid form. Of course they
were precious stones. So said the cook,
the chambermaid, and everybody. I
wanted some, so resolved to be on hand
Midnight came. The subscriber slept
not. Like Joseph, he slept not because
he was not sleepy. I dosed till 2 o’clock
in the A. M., and in the bed, or words to
that effect. I wrestled with the ghost of
five dozen raw oysters, four pigs feet, a
head of cabbage, bottles of catsup and
ten mugs of ale. It was a severe wrestle,
and hieathing the tree air of my native
hills as it went marching on. I arose at
2. It was the first rope of Autumn at
that hour. 1 looked at my watch. It
was three. I thanked the giver of all
good that I was not in New York, when
the brave, beautiful Butler, with his sec
ond hand eye was there, or my watch
would have run down to Lowell !
The meteor show was a free show.—
Reserved seats for ladies, I wanted a
front seat, and arose to onact ! I manu
factured my toilet a la General Washburn
as he tore it out of Memphis like a phan
tom flag of truce. I would have made a
good balled girl for the Black Otook, but
mv waterfall was not constructed right
for the wear and tear of the stage. Vide
Smyth.! I went upward like Daniel in
the. ln>n institute, or like Elijah with his
skating park head. I arose through the
sky light to the dignity of the roof. Tin
morning was in the dim distance—very
much that way. The twilight was colder
than the skylight, and I tried them both.
My opera glass was at my uncles—had
been to three balls and didn't return !
Must have glasses. Took one along in
sections. The right hand barrel cmne to
a focus on rye ! The left hand barrel act-
your nursing
Theu I knew
ain’t a naughty man, then, after all !”
“Why so?” “Hand me
bottle?” Mistaken ghost,
she was from the spirit land !
The moon begau to strengthen, but it
came not to a locus. The gentle zephers
zephered Jibe the devil—or words to that
ineauing. I felt a coldness creeping over
me. No meteors yet. The ghosts scat
tered all about me. I felt rheumatism.
* he opera glass grew lighter—both bar
rels. I found a chimney top. It felt gen
erous. it gave out a subdued warmth.
It was a brick chimney, therefore I sat
m it. No meteors yet. Tie stars began
railing back like Sigel. I thought it was
.-.trategy to induce the meteors to advance.
The chimney felt a little warm I empt-
ud the bottles and threw the corks at a
ied beaded ghost without a waterfall. 1
slung the bottles over the battlements
that a city editor below might see stars.
1 remembered that the Fire Commis
sioners were to ring a hell ten times to
wake me up when meteor died, and like a
ship on a billow, a child in a bath tub, a
hen on her nest, or a Butler taking his
spoons, I slept like a babe across its
grandmother’s knee, getting warmth w here
1 needed it No meteors yet.
I slept, but not long. 1 smelt some
thing. It awoke me. Thought it was a
meteor. Says 1, “Bully for science!”
The smell increased. 1 grew nervous,
I was in a bog.
knew it. Things
were burning, and I had no accident poli
cy ! The world w’as on fire ! The smoke
was all about me- its ghosts sat there in
smoke and white cotton with ft ills.
Ah, ha ! Fiend of the lower regions !
But I have thee. I arose quickly. Curs
es on the man who invented sleep ! Con
found the cook who built the fire at the
other end of that chimney ! When I
arose a cotton cinder, fourteen inches long
by four inches wide, floated off like an
army balloon. Sleep is not good ! Opera
glasses are not good, if uuloaded too rap
idly. I didn’t see the meteor, but the
doctors saw it. It was inflamed-- red Lot.
1 think I shall not sit on a chimney, or on
anything else, for many days. No more 1
meteors for me ! It was a sensation—
demued mean one at that! The papers
knew better. It was a Copperhead lie !

SENATE.
Novfmber 19, 1866.
The Senate met at 10 e’clock, A. M.
Mr O. P. Beall moved to leoonsider the action of

j the County Court Act Tne motion prevailed,
j On motion of Mr. Strozier, the bid wn* taken up
i and referred to a special committee of live from the
i Senate. The committee consist* of Messrs. Strozier,
■ Owens. C. H. Srnitl , Simmons and Turner.
Mr. Paris’s resolution requesting tbe-Governur to lay
j before the next G< uerai Assembly a statement of the
; mount of land now owned by the State, and at what
| price it can be gold, was taken up. The motion to lay
the same on the table for the present, was carried by
a tie vote—15 and 15—Mr. Moore, the President pro.
tern., who occupied the Chair, voting in the affirma
tive.
The bill for the Relief of the People, commonly
known as the Stay Law, was taken up.
Mr. Gresham offered an amendment explanatory of
ihe provisions of the act now in force. The amend
me tit explains that only one fourt li of this debt may
be collected in January, 1867, and that the failure on
the part ol the debtor to pay this one-fourth doe' not
put it in the power of the creditor to claim the pay
ment of the whole.
The amendment of Mr. Gresham was discussed at
considerable length by Messrs. Gresham, Blount and
Butler, and was fiually lost by a sound vote.
Mr. O. P. Beall offered an amendment providing
that the first section of the act be altered so that where
debtor shall fail to pay the first installment of his debt,
which shall be the 1st of Jan. 1868, the creditor shall
have no right to claim the payment of the remainder
until the davs provided by law tor the payment of the
remaining three-fou tiis. The amendment iras passed
The bill was finally passed by' a vote of 29 to 7,
leaving the bill the same as before, with the excep
tion that the first installment of debts are required to
he paid by the first of January, 1868, and the remain
ing installments annually thereafter. Those who vo
ted in the negative are Messrs \V. K. Beall, Gresham,
Kenan, Redding, Strozier, McDaniel and Owens.
The bill for amending the law exempting from levy
and sale certain prope.ty of every debtor in the State
was taken up, pending the consideration of which the
Senate adjourned till 3 o’clock this afteruoon.

ment provides that such suits as have been transferred
shall be suffered to proceed in said County Courts.
Mr. Miuis, u bill tool ange the line between Seri veil
and Burke counties.
Mr. Patterson, a bill to allow to County Solicitor* a
fee of $10 in case of conviction for misdemeanors.
Mr Nirozier, a bill to amend the divou-e laws so far
as the form of proceeding in such cases is concerned.
Also a b’U loallow persons iu Worth county to be sub
ject to road duty, even though they live three miles
from the part of the road to be worked.
Also a bill providing that the maiming of hogs and
cattle shall be a misdemeanor.
The bill to sell to the city of Macon, for ten thoss
and dollars, their contingent interest in the land known
as the Macon Reserve, was passed by a vote of. 25
to 10.
Adjourned to 10 o’clock to-morrow morning.
The Eiuht Hour System.—A few
days ago the eight hour system was adop
ted in the Government Printing Offices in
Washington. Under this system journey
men were to receive §24 a week for eight
hour’s work, and 50 cents per hour for ex
tra work previous to midnight, and 75 cents
per hoar for every hour’s work after mid
night. The private printing offices in
Wasliingt on—those not engaged on Gov
ernment work—protested against the new
arrangement, and urged that it was in viola
tion of the standing usage to make the
government rates the same as those cur
rent in the city. In response to this pro
test the Treasury department, has refused
to pass the hill of the Superintendent of
the Public Printing, the printers in the
Government Printing Bureau reiused to
work, and called a meeting to determine
their course iu the premises.

Little Things.—The precionsness
of little things was never more beautifully
expressed than in the following morceau
by B. F. ’Paylor:
Little marten-boxes of homes are gener
ally the most happy and cozy; little villa
ges are nearer to being atoms of a shatter
ed paradise than anything we know of, and
little fortunes bring the most content; and
little hopes the least disappointments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly furthered and stay long
est on the wing; little lakes are the stillest;
little hearts the fullest: and the little
farms the best tilled.—Little books are the
most read, and little songs the most loved.
And, when nature would make everything
especially rare and beautiful she makes it
little—little pearls, little diamonds, little
dews.
And he might have added, little women.

Jefferson Davis.—The New York
Tribune, after discussing the unnecessary
delay in the trial of Mr. Davis, adds:
'I he upshot of all this, is that the pris
oner hi not tried, nor likely to be; and that,
if tried, he. is morally certain not to be con
victed; if convicted, not to be punished.
There are still many peisous who would
like to have him executed; but there is
not one intelligent man on earth who has
thetaintest notion that bo ever will be*
For thovgh governments sometimes inflict
capital punishment on conspicuous rebels,
they never at least in modern times, do so
long after their rebellion was suppressed.
Austria, in 1849, pnt to death thirteen of
the Hungarian leaders betrayed into their
bands by tbe miscreant Gorgey; but she
tried them by drumhead court martial di
rectly after their surrender, and had them
all hanged and buried within forty-eight
hours. Had she waited eighteen months,
and then executed them, she would have
invoked the execrations of all Christendom.
Since it is notorious that Davis is not to
be punished, why is be still kept awaiting
atrial, which he alone seems to desire, and
which he can by no meaus obtain? What
good end is subserved by persisting in a
menace which still serves to iritate, though
it no longer appals?

ghost was a married one. At least there
was circumstantial evidence pointing that
way. She was taking tbe morniug air;
and while taking it she lost her morniug
heir ! Says I to the ghost: “ Lend me
a garmeut!” “And go without.” said
bbe : “ Shiftless female,” said I . “ You
are another!” spoke she. I tried the

FOREIGN imniGRATION.
1. Again those Immigrants are heard,
Btill knocking at the door.
This motley crew that volunteered
Against us in the tear—
2. Came from afar and took np arms,
Became our foes of choice ;
Midst blood and death and wars alarms
They rais'd their hellish voice,
3. We intimated % nine months past,
If they should come again.
To stop, like Baa la in on his ass,
This immigration train.
4. Then gave their names and by whom sent,
Who did our country blight,
And now renew the same intent
To stop them on first sight. Z.

SENATE.
November 20, 1866.
The Senate met at 10o'clock A M., and was opened
with ptayer.
Mr. Meltaffiel moved to reconsider the bill passed
ou yesterday to give relief to the people of the State,
llis object ui moving reconsideration was not to defeat
ttie bill, but only to perfect the bill to render it more
acceptable to the people. He was in favor of giving
the people the benefit ot another year's labor in order
to enable them to pay their debts. His objection to
the bill as it passed was tiiat it deferred the fin'll settle-
| merit of debts to too long a period. The Legislature
j might pass a Stay Law ibis session, and if found nec-
. essary, next winter the Legislature could agaiu pass a
Stay Law. The motion to reconsider was tost.

of the Comity Court Judge are not sufficient the Judg
es of the luterior Court shall prescribe a salary for
said Judge, the same to be paid out of the county

A Dead shot.—A correspondent of
tbe Soldiers’ Messenger writes:
A certain Philadelphia General had up
on his staff a lively young Lieutenant,
rather given to stretching the truth, and
had a remarkable facility for boasting of
his own accomplishments. Upon a fine
horse, lie indulged daily in a ride amongst
the woods and bushes, about a mile from
camp. Returning one day, he presented
to tbe envious gaze of his brother officers
a rabbit, that had been shot through tbe
bead. ‘Look at that,’ said he, ‘shot him
through tbe bead my horse going at full
speed, can do it nine times out of ten.’
Thus boasting, he turned it over to the
cook for a stew, and took frequent occa
sion to Allude to the fine shot. Next day,
whilst all were enjoying a good dinner, a
modest rap was heard on the door of the
messroom, the door was opened, and a
contraband presented himself, with -Please
gemmen* am de gemmen here dat bought de
rabbit yesterday I, and then catching sight
of our now confused Lieutenant, exclaimed.
‘Heie lie am— here’s anoder rabbit at
de same price.’ The roar of laughter that
followed may be imagined.

tured the singers at some length. His stric

biting. At least so thought the choir,
which is dispersed, and tbe church has
since cot along without choir singing—all
from a sneeze.
