They are fading, they are dying,
Buds and blossoms of the past;
And the Autumn wind is sighing,
As they flutter in the blast-
Mournfully onr hearts are sighing,
To the wind's sad wail replying,
While the tears are falling last.
One by one the leaves are falling,
Brown and withered, dark and ter.
In our soul, oh ! thought appalling'
’Tis the autumn of the year ;
All the glorious past recalling.
While the leaves around us tailing
Warn us that it is not here.
Wlu-re are now the tunes, whose mu ic
We may never hear aga n ?
Wt> <-re the luviug smiles, win is e glory
Was like sunshine alter raiu ?
Ali' the olden, olden htory
Conned from youth to age so hoa:y,
Wo shall Yearn for them in vain.
IIow we die; i.-h every token !
How the inem'ries round us cling
Of the loving words once spoken,
Of the songs they used to sing.
Ah ! we know, by many a tok.-n,
All the flowers are crushed unci i.u.l.
Withered in their blossoming.
GGLDEfJ GRilHS,
Thou most be true thyself,
It thou the truth woulds’t touch ;
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
Anoiher soul woulds’t reach ;
It needs the overflowing heart
To give the lips full speech.
Think iruly, and thy thought
Shall the world’s famine teed:
Speak truly, and thy word
Shall be a fuitiitul seed ;
Live truly, ai.il thy lile shall be
A great and noble creed.

KETl'KiV (IE THE CAPITOL
We publish the proceedings of a
; lar. e meeting held in AIcDufhe Coun-
| ty, in which resolutions were adopted
; recommending the return of the capi-
{tol to Miiledgeville. We piopose to
I present a few reasons why we are
heartily in favor of a return to the old
seat of government.
Miiledgeville is very near the Geo
graphical centre of the State, and has
been made accessible by the construc
tion of rauroads, a leading incentive
to the construction of which was to
promote that object.
The last Legislature which iiad any
claims to expressing the will ot the
tax payers of the State made a liberal
appropriation to put the Capitol and
Governor’s Mansion in thorough order,
.i'iiat expenditure is rendered valueless
lo the State by the removal of the
Capitol.
The removal was effected by an un
fair and corrupt combination, in a
Convention elected when a vast num
ber of the people were disfranchised,
and witicli did not represent the real
sentiment of the State.
The contract under which the re
moval was made, has been violated in
both letter and spirit ; it having been
agreed that the city of Atlanta would
furnish ali the necessary buildings free
of cost for ten years.
A large sum was not only expended
by the Governor to make the new cap-
itoi habitable, but a trade has been
negotiated, whereby the State has al
ready paid out three or four hundred
thousand dobars, and now has nothing
but a temporary capitol—inconven
ient and unsuitable in many respects.
Atlanta is. and will continue to be
the centre of speculative rings of ev
ery kind, from railroad rings, down to
ail sorts of petty jobbing. Its very
atmosphere is infected by this spirit,
and tiie nature of things will attach
these influences to it, and unfit it for
the seat of government.
In evidence of this we have only to
refer to the legislation and the annual
expenditures of the State Government
now, compared to former years. Who
can ueny that these expenditures have
in a r/,ut measure grown out of the cor-
i u]11 robbing influences which attach
to ihe railroad interests which centre
t: -. re, and the cormorants who have
located there for the purpose of plun
dering the State. These are broad as
sertions, but we are willing to submit
them to the candid judgment of the
public.
We disclaim all hostility to Atlanta,
or to its legitimate business interests.
Our best ffjends and patrons are
among its business men, and we wish
them and their city the highest pros-
perperity. But there has been a
combination of wrongs in the removal
of the capitol which stinks to heaven,
and deserves stern rebuke. These
wrongs have been at the expense of the
tax payers of the State,who are entitled
to be fairly heard on the question.

HOT* AND RIRI.X.
These lively appendages to every
well constituted family, are discoursed
about in a pleasant way by the Rev.
Dr. Aiken in bis “ Life at Home
They are born ditlerent, and show
it while they are infants. The boy-
baby is restless and uneasy in his
mother’s arms. He is never still except
when asleep, and even then tumbles
from side to side in bis crib with sud
den tlinus of arms and lees. When he
grows beyond babyhood, he plays dif
ferently. Without ever being told of
it, he instinctively turns away from
dolls, lays them aside in indifference,
and freely donates them to whatever
little girl will have them. He demands
balls and bats and drums; he turns
down chairs for horses, lays bold on all
thesrringsof the bouse for lines, wants
all the little sticks made into whips,
mounts lounges and drives four-in
band ; he asks for guns, and wants you
to tell him stories of bears and lions
aud tigers, and is amused beyond meas
ure at their leaping upon and eating
up cows and oxen. The girl-baby is
gentle, even from the first, and looks
quietly out of the blue eyes, or laugh
ingly out of the dark ones. She talks
naturally to her d%!ls, and never tires
of dressing them and arranging the ba
by house; she is gentle in her plays,
and would be frightened with what
would fiii her brother with a paroxism
of delight; she loves fairy tales, and
will not ask some absurd question
about the babes in the wood, but
rather cries over their sorrows. The
sister will smooth pussy and hold her
lovingly in her lap, while the brother
wants to see if the cat can jump, and
when she tries to get out of his unde
sirable company, will detain her by leg
or tail. And these same divergencies
of disposit ion aud character perpetuate
themselves as the boy or girl grows
older. There are exceptions, it is rrue;
some boys have ail the tastes and gen
tleness of a feminine nature, and some
girls have much that is masculine. 1 ;
de not regret seeing it iu each. The. j
gentle boy will not make any the less j
noble mau because-there was so - much |
that was girl-like iu bis childhood, nor
will the girl that was in her imieness
often called a boy, be any the less, but
perhaps all the more, a true and iovelj
woman.
Plucky Students.—A correspond
ent of the Boston Journal writing from
a popular watering-place, has this to
Grant ou Democracy.—Republi
cans who are disgusted with the bad
management and dishonesty of the
present administration must choose
between Grant and Democracy. They
may trv to flatter themselves that the
Republican party has not been reduc
ed so low that it will be compelled to
nominate, in 1S72, the man who has
paid very little attention to anything
except his own personal affairs, the
man who dispenses patronage as a re
ward for personal favors, who escapes
from Washington and public business
to enjoy his numerous gifts at Long
Branch. Republicans who have be
come disgusted with Grant point to
Sumner, and Patterson and Fenton,
and Trumbull and Logan, and Schurz
and Spencer, and then ask if is possi
ble that any man can be nominated for
President with these men opposing.—
Your straight-forward honest Repub
licans will not. admit that it is possible
for Grant to secure a renomination, yet
nothing is more certain that) that be
will be the Republican candidate next
year.
Who opposes '? The senators we
have named, and others of less influ
ence. But they are not the men who
control the Republican party. Sum
ner is no match for Boutwell and But
ler in the ward caucuses, and Patter
son is the only man of prominence in
New Hampshire who opposes Grant.
Senator Ferry, in this State might
make it very warm for Grant, if he
were in good health, but as it is, he
will do nothing. Jewell and Sperry
and Starkweather will cast the vote of
the State for Grant in the Republican
convention. Conkling has control in
New York ; Schurz is a bolter in Mis
souri ; and it remains to be seen what
influence Logan and Trumbull will
have iu Illinois. Morton carries In
diana in it is pocket, and Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Wisconsin have already de
clared for Grant. Mr. Greeley may
denounce the President as much as he
pleases, lie will have to take him as
his candidate. The'men who run the
Republican party, the managers and
office-holders, are ali for Grant. The
‘■ins’’ are stronger than the ‘-outs,”
and have already carried their point.
There are many men in the Repub
lican party, who supported Grant en
thusiastically, three years ago, who
will not vote for him again. Of these
tiie most conspicuous is Senator
Schurz of Missouri. He declares, pub
licly, that under no circumstances will
he support for re-election the Presi-
say about some of the genteel waiters: j ident who has violated the C’onstitu-
“ A few days since I was at a hotel
where I noticed three or four of the
male attendants at the table possessed
unusually intelligent faces, and ap
peared in every way to be far above
their station. Their replies to all ques
tions came unmistakably from educated
men ; so it proved. They are students
Leon
The above named Hotel has been recently refur
nisheil and fitted up for the accommodation of tran
sieut as well as permanent Boarders. Persons wit
find it to their interest to stop at this Hou i , as its
central location makes it a very desirable place for
merchants and families coming to the city fur business,
or lor a sojourn of pleasure. An ELEGANT SA M
PLE ROOM has been fitted up for the special use of
commercial travelers.
The table always supplied with all the luxuries of
Ihe season, from first markets, aud can be surpassed,

Omnibus to convey passengers to and from the
Hotel and all trains, free of charge.

“ Well,” said Reuben, the story-teller, “ father
always wanted a horse, because the folks in
Grei ne lived scattered, and he had so far to go to
funerals and weddings, and to visit schools, you
know ; but lie never felt as if lie could afford to
buy one. But one da,', fie was coming afoot from
Hildreth, and a stranger assed him to ride Father
sai•!, ‘That’s a handsome horse you are driving —
I should like to own such a horse tnyse’if. ’ ‘ W hat
will you give for h-m?’ said the man ‘Do you
want lose. 1 V says father. ‘Yes, I do, and I’ll
so 1 cheap, too,’ says lie. ‘ Oh, well,’ says father,
• it’s no nse ta'kin.-, for I haven’t the money to
hnv with.’ ‘ Make me an offer,’ says he. * Well,
ju.-t to put an end to the talk.’ father says, ‘ I'll
give yon .?i75 for the horse.’ ‘ You take him.' says
the man, as quick a< a flash, ‘ but you'll repent ot
you barga n in a week ’ * Why, what ails the
horse J* says father. ‘Ails him? He’s got the
‘Oid Nick’ in him,’ says he. ‘ If he has a will to
go, he’ll go; but if he takes a notion to stop, all
creation can’t start him. I've st- od and beat that
till the sweat runoff me in streams I've
::iod a g'un close to Ins ea s ; I've burnt shavings
tiiold him. I might have beat him to death and
rou ted him alive before he’d hive budged an
iuc! ' ‘ I’ll take the horse,’ says father. ‘ What's

li. lather sat lull two hours, before the horse
was feady to start; but when he did, there was no
mere trouble for that day. The next morning it
was the same thing over again, only’ that Georgie
gave in a little sooner.
•• All ti;o whiie it seemed as if father could not
do enough for the horse. He wag round the stable
dvdin;' him and fussing over him, talking to him
ui his pleasant, gentle way ; aud the third morn

him w ill hi ; own hands, somehow there was a dif
ferent look in the iiorse s eyes. But when father
was rtady to go, Georgie put Lis feet together and
’-Id his ears back, and wouldn’t stir. Well, Dbve
was phi iug about the yard, and she brought her
stool anil climbed up by the horse’s head Dove,

“Why, he heard every wotd I said, and when I

“ Y-s,” said Reuben, “ and when father told
him to go, he was off like a shot. He's never made

There is something heroic in “accept
ing the situation ” in this manner, as
they are prompted to do this work
mainly by a desire to secure means to
enable them to compete with the more
fortunate in securing a good education.
They are very efficient in their new
position, and I would be willing to
make a small wager that young men
with such pluck will not be easily
thrown in their wrestle with life. The
world admires the stamina of those
noble youths who were lead in their
shoes and eat beefsteak that they may
get up sufficient muscle to win tiie
race at the next regatta, but how triv
ial is their training when compared wit h
tiie training these young coiiegians are
receiving, who in spite of unpleasant
duties are bent upon going through col
lege, aud willingly make any sacrifice
to reach the goal. There is something
Democratic in this kind of servitude
which is pleasant to think about.
German Peculiarities.—The
“ law’s delay” is a terrible and painful
reality in Germany. Better never com
mence a suit unless you are wilin g to
lose double the sum at stake, and wait
a year or two before you have the sat
isfaction of knowing it an i the privi
lege of paying ic. You can neither
enter nor leave the law world without
ai! sorts of formalities, and the buying
of enough certificates to set an army
in motion. A clergyman, a neighbor
of mine, in order to marry the lady or
his choice, who was a -Swabian, was
compelled to procure twenty-three dif
ferent certifications before they could
be pronounced man and wifi. The
most of these, of course, had to be paid
for. I was fined ouch for not register
ing the entrance of a servant girl into
my household within a few specified
days after the occurrence, and that
when I was from home, and was told
imprisonment or appeal and a regular
lawsuit would be the only relief. It
tioo of the United rotates. What will
they do? There will be only two
candidates in the field. On the Dem
ocratic side, we hope to see nominated
a statesman of broad and eniighted
views, a man of the highest character,
a trienu of tariff and civil service re
form, a man who will administer the
government for the public good, and
not for private gain. The Democracy
is not the party ^of revolution, but al
ways has favored a constitutional gov
ernment, where each citizen was given
the greatest liberty consistent with
tiie public good. Will t^ese dissatis
fied Republicans sit down quietly, in
the Presidential election, or will tiiey
support the Democratic condidates ?
They must see that their choice is be
tween Grant and the Democracy.
What a pity it is that Grai t should
be confined so long at Long Branch
against his will, on account of that
confounded condition which was at
tache?! to the gift of his cottage, that
he should occupy it the whole season.
We really pity tiie poor President.—
He is anxious to carry the Government
to Washington, for everybody is leav
ing Long Branch, but lie dare uot go
for the reason cited. The cottage is
valuable, and it would never do for
Gr.int to lose it in that manner. W"e
would suggest that a committee be
appointed to wait on the man who
thus, by a cunning gift, makes our
Chief Magistrate a prisoner on tiie sea
shore, and beg him to relent and al
low Grant to go to Washington, where
his presence is very much desired.—
This is our only hope, for Grant, true
ro his nature, will otherwise fight it
out on that cottage line “ail summer.”

“Whiie he was on the point of

water on the table. He put his finger

Look Fate in the Face.—Many
men are dispirited by small reverses
and disappointments, and surrender
their manhood to trifles ; magnifying
molehills into mountains of difficulty,
aud crying out that “all is lost,” when
tiiey really have lost nothing but their
own resolution. It is a rare accom
plishment.to be able to gauge difficul
ties at their actual value, and to look
hopefully over small disagreeables.
There comes from Australia a bit of
romance, which is quite as good in its
way, as the royal prisoner and his spi
der—the old story, “Try again.”
A certain Mr. Wilson, of Wilson &
Co.. Inis just sold only a portion of his
share in a mining establishment for
SL00,000. He had already realized a
handsome sum by the working of the
mine, and still retains some interest in
the enterprise Tiie beginning of his
fortune is thus narrated : Out of funds,
and probably out ol credit, be reached
one evening, foot-sore and weary, a
“bush tavern.” The landlord declined
to give him a bed on his “promise to
pay,” and lie was compelled to camp
out in the bush, as he had, no doubt,
done many times before. In the mor
ning, perhaps because he had little
funds to buy a breakfast, lie amused
himself in “prospecting.” The re
sult was that he disappeared from the
immediate neighborhood for a time,
but subsequently returned fortified
with a “claim” to certain lands in that
vicinity, and kept in countenance by
partners. He went to work on *his
“claim,” proved himself a man of en
terprise and energy, became the land
lord of the very “landlord” who re
fused him a bed, and tiie rest of tiie
story is tolJ above.
The “romance” is of a nature not
confined to gold fields. “Tiie flings
and arrows ot outrageous fortune” is a
phrase which has more petulance than
reason in it. Men ought to be supe
rior to mere circumstances, and might
be, too, if they would use their rea
son and assert their manliness. If the
last leather breaks tiie back, the more
shame to tiie back which allows itself
to be broken by tiie additional weight
of a feather, when a little'energy
would shake oil Hot oniy the last feath
er, but tiie main bulk, if people in de
spair did not count it glory to be ruin
ed. The successful miner in Austra
lia, head of tiie house of Wilson & Co.,
was probably sufficiently disgusted
with the rudeness of a man, perhaps
in all respects his inferior. In the
down hill path, if a person is so unfor
tunate as to drift into it, lie will find
no lack of inhospitality, and plenty of
people more ready to push him down
than to help him up. If lie wastes his
time in lamentation, and strength in
gratifying an irascible temperament,
his course will still be downward;—
but if he “prospects” carefully as ho
walks, the turn of the “long lane” will
be found sooner or later. Look fate
steadily in tiie face, and you may of
ten look the “worst luck” out of
countenance.
Corean Trophies Taken by the
French.—The following interesting
description of tiie trophies captured by
the French in their Corean expedition,
and now on board the admiral’s ves
sel awaiting transportation to Paris, is
given in late Shanghai correspond
ence :
“The library of the Kang-hoa was
also transported on board the admir
al’s ship, to be sent to Paris. It con
sisted of about three hundred volumes.
Tiie most curious of the spoils ot Kang-
hea w r ere a series of folding white
marble tables encased in gilt metal,
highly chased and edged with a crim
son silk damask, with gilt inscriptions
incised in the marble. They were
found in the temple of tiie royal resi
dence. The execution of these tables
resembles more a work of classic art
than tiie production of a people sup
posed to have only the taste of barba
rians. The inscriptions were in the
written characters common to China
and Japan, and were found to be a
code of moral law. They thus resem
ble tiie commandments of the oid law,
graven on tables ot stone aud preserv
ed in temples. A specimen helmet
brought away by tiie French shows
that tiie Corean armorers are no mean
handicraftsmen, while its lining of
leather showed workmanship equal if
not superior to any article of European
leather work. The manufacture of
arms is no doubt understood by the
Coreans, and many specimens of tiieir
short swords ol soft iron, but not
sharp, were brought away. A Coreau
musket brought to Paris, exhibits a
silver enamel set into the breech of
the barrel, betokening a certain knowl
edge of ait, while the octagonal shape
of "the barrel and the neat finish of the
stock were pronounced a most credit
able job for those barbarian artificers.
Strange to say, some of the cannon
found at Kang-hoa were breecit-load-
eis. These were constructed by the
Coreans in a most simple manner. A
small cannon, equal in length to the
charge and shot, is placed in the cavi
ty of the breech, similar in shape to
the Snider-Enfield breech-ioading ride.

Mowing Strawberry Leaves.—
The plan of mowing strawberry leaves
after fruiting, is coming into notice.—
Oue who has tried it says that he has
practiced it uniformly for eight years,
and has never been obliged to rest his
plants, or renew his bed, while the
luxuriance of his plants, and size and
quality of his berries, were matters of
great noteriety in his own neighbor-
liooJ. The propriety of cutting off all
tiie old and 'exhausted stems, leaves,
etc., after fruiting, will not be ques
tioned, we think, by any.
