Winter came on. and the Frost went down
O’er field and fsreat, and flaod and town.
It f.und the windows clear at night.
But when morning came with its golden light,
They we-e all like silver, fair to see,
Chased in wonderful imagery.
Year ' 8 world,” says the Frost'
‘Rich lace cuitains which nothing cost.”
And over the wida world he went hfs way,
Till he passed a cell where a prisoner lay. ’
Then he worked the windows thickly aud while,
And went freezing, freezing on through the night]
The prisoner woke ere morning gray,
And saw that the Frost had been that way.
Then he wrote on the silvery crispy rind
The thought that was ever on his mind :
“O cara mi Jesu, nunc libera me !"
(Dear Lord, from this prison pray set me free .’)
Then lighted his taper, and all alone
Read in the silence till morning shone.
The Lord in the castle sleepless lay,
Long were the hours and lie wished for day.
When all at once on his chamber wall
He saw these letters bright-flickering fall:
‘‘O cara mi Jesu, nune libera me
(Dear Lord, from this prison pray get me free !)
Borne through the night from the prison cell,
The Frost aud the taper had carried them well.
Up started the Lord, amazed I ween.
I or a stranger sight he had never seen.
And sought till h found what the cause might be
And then set the prisoner fairly free.
Who had writ on tire window, unthinkingly,
“O cara mi Jesu, nunc libera me !’’

JEFFERSON A BTl’DEiVl’ OF LAW
Whoever has read Parton’a Life of
the late President Andrew Jackson, of
Tennessee, or his life of Aaron Burr,
will bear tribute to the uncommon in
terest Mr. Parton invariably throws
into his narratives. It will be remem
bered that, in the latter work, Mr.
Parton tells the amusing story of the
little verbal tournay which took place
at our Old Fort Wilkinson in this
neighborhood between the prisoner
Aaron Burr (under arrest for treason)
and the landlord of the inn. We re
gard Mr. Parton as the most inteiest-
ing writer of biography in America.
The February number of The At
lantic Monthly contains from Ur. Par-
ton’s graphic pen, a sketch of Thomas
Jefferson as “a student of law." It is
done in Mr. Parton’s best style. The
picture of the ambitious young stu
dent, as a lover of books and ot one of
Virginia’s fair daughters; as an enthu
siastic admirer of Ossian as brought to
the knowledge of the literary world by
Macpherson just then; and as a rapt
listener to that thrilling debate in the
Virginia House of Burgeises when
Patrick Henry “ the forest-born De
mosthenes” concluded his celebrated
harangue with the immortal words
“If this be treason, make the most of
it;” and its other parts, are all done
Partonianly. Tfiat is saying enough.
An amusing illustration of the medi
cal practice of that day in Virginia is
given. Mr. Jefferson’s landlady, who
had just buried one of her guests, a
young man, exclaimed, “ But, Mr. Jef
ferson, we have the consolation of
knowing that everything w T as done for
him that could he done. He was bled,
no less than six and twenty times." So
much for the Dr. Sangrado style of
“venesection” in the “ Old Dominion”
then !
The January number of the Atlan
tic Monthly contains an exquisite
poem by Longfellow, which we de
sired to notice ; but the magazine con
taining it has been mislaid. We have
heretofore expressed our opinion of the
superiority of The Atlantic Monthly
over other American Magazines of its
class. Published by Osgood & Co.,
124 Tremont St., Boston. W. G. M.
A Cruel Folly.—It is a deplorable
thing—but too true—that the race of
girls is about extinct among us. We
have female infants and young ladies,
but that glorious period of girlhood
which, in old-fashioned days, came be
tween, modern society has seen fit to
bridge over. The fruits of a social
system thus artificial and false in the
ory are every where apparent, and in
most cases painfully so. Your incip
ient misses are exact miniatures, oftet
burlesques, of their elder sisters, and
in dress, manner and style of smal
talk, imitate the fashionable rule.—
When, in course of time, these preco
cious buds bloom out into tho full
grown, stylish young lady, the sigh
is not an edifying one. In place of a
fresh, bright, cultivated woman, you
hayeafaded, languid creature, with a
few superficial accomplishments,
which pass for all they are worth, and
sometimes catch rich fools. And as
for wives and mothers—why, there
an absurdity in the very thought-—
These things come in the way of des
tiny, to be sure, but languishing inva
lids and a sickly progeny show too
well the revenge which outraged na
ture exacts. Then follow a long train
of evils—in the same old groove, ma
ny of them—which being begun, also
end in degeneracy. To these reflec
tions we have been led by reading
some accounts of children’s parties,
which the last holiday season has wit
nessed. They were full dress affairs,
— very full dress. The robes of the
young misses consisted ot white, pink,
yellow and blue silk, elaborately
trimmed and decked with spangles.—
They had their hair dressed in the la
test style, frizzed, puffed, powdered
and adorned with flowers. White kid
gloves were generally worn, and abun
dant jewels in particular cases. Only
one thing was lacking in the minia
ture representation of an adult party,
viz : enameled faces- Powder, how
ever, was freely used. Music, dancing,
and a general showing off" occupied the
evening, while aaxious mammas look
ed on and were happy, envious, or
jealous, according as their offspring
shone or were eclipsed. The supper
was all that the greatest epicure could
desire. The adieus were spoken
gracefully about midnight. Such are
the rehearsal for Vanity Fair, which
are growing to be recognized as quite
“the thing” for our advanced and ele
gant age, And such, too, are the
blights, which wither and corrode our
social life, and are the prime cause of
half our positive social evils.

HON. JAMES D. CLEMENTS.
Mr. Clements was born in Montgom
ery county on the 2d of April, 1826,
received a private education, and has
been engaged in farming from his
youth to the present time. Although
not prominent in politics before th-*
war, he was an Old Line Whig, and an
opponent of secession; but, like a
great majority of those who were
originally Unionists, when the strug
gle began his entire sympathies were
with his native State, and with the
Confederacy. He served during the
war in the State forces until 1S64,
when he was elected Clerk of the Su
perior Court of his county. This posi
tion Mr. Clements held after the fram
ing of the preaent State Constitution,
t3P“Here is what Greeley says about
Grant:
But we further object to the renom
ination of Gen. Grant that he is mani
festly a weak candidate, there being
very many Republicans who will op
pose him if renominated. That it
should be so in tnis State, and in any
other where his heavy hand has been
laid upon one “wing” of the party
which elected him, is too plain to need
proof. There are hundreds of active,
prominent, influential Republicans who
have been expelled from office by him,
or his instruments, and who cannot in
the nature of things, work for his re-
election as they would for one who had
never treated them as enemies. Who
doubts that it U so in other States?

An African Newspaper.—A color
ed girl just arrived in Talbottou, from
Monrovia, Liberia, sends to our office
a copy of a four column sheet news
paper, called the Republican, which
gives a lengthy account of the deposi
tion of President Roye by the citizens
of the Republic. Roye is a black ne
gro, very intelligent, wealthy, and tiie
first man who ever introduced ship
ping into Liberia. As President of
the Republic, he has become very un
popular with the mulatto caste of that
country, who adhere tenaciously to
ihe ascendency of Roberts, a mulatto,
now President of the College in Mon
rovia, and formerly President of Libe
ria. Roye is arraign for embezzlement
in office, peculations, theft, etc., gen
erally, and turns up finally in the
character of a genuine carpet-bagger
as ever fleeced the people of the South
ern States. For all speculations in
Government stocks, bonds, etc., Roye
is in prison, right where our fleecing
Bullock ought to be this day.
The girl is well educated, and says
she taught school in Liberia—says
there is considerable feeling between
the blacks and mulattoes as to caste.
Liberia is represented as a perfect
paradise for the negro—sugar cane,
tobacco, cocoas, plantains,bananas and
the palm grow there to perfection.—
Palm butter is a great dish iD Liberia.
Monrovia is a city of 25,000 inhab
itants, built up in brick like the city
of Macon. None but negroes, under
the constitution, are allowed to hold
property. Cotton grows finely
throughout the country. The ne
groes, as a people, are reported as do
ing well.— Talbotton Standard.
Good for This Day Only.—A lady
traveling on the Grand Trunk Rail
road in New York, stopped over on
the way, and when she proposed to
resume her journey was put off the
cars upon her refusal to pay again, be
cause her ticket read “good for this
train and # the day received—not good
to stop over.” She sued the company
and recovered costs and $600 damages.
No matter what may be printed up
on a railroad ticket, it is good in law
for the whole distance paid for, on aoy
day the purchaser elects to use it.
[Plainfield (N. J.) Constitutionalist.
Mayor Hall, of New York, has been
indicted for signing fraudulent war

Mark Twain as a Reporter.—The
life of a reporter is described by
“Mark,” in #ne of his lectures at Chi
cago, in the following terms :
I reported on that morning newspaper
three years, and it was pretty hard
work, but I enjoyed its attraction.—
Reporting is the best school in the
world to get a knowledge of human
beings, human nature, and human
ways. A nice, gentlemanly reporter
—I make no reference—is well treat
ed by everybody. Just think of the
wide range of his acquaintanceship,
his experience of life and society ! No
other occupation brings a man into
such familiar social relation with all
grades and classes of people. The
last thing at night—midnight—he
goes browsing around after items
among police and jail-birds, in the
lock-up, questioning the prisoners, and
making pleasant and lasting friend
ships with tome of the worst people in
the world. And the very next eve
ning he gets himself up, regardless of
expense, puts on all the good clothes
his friends have got, goes and takes
dinner with the governor, or the com
mander-in-chief of the district, the
U. S. senator, and some more of the
upper crust of society. He is on good
terms with all of them, and is present
at every public meeting, and has easy
access to every variety of people.—
Why I breakfasted almost every morn
ing with the governor, dined with the
principal clergyman, and slept in the
station-house.
A reporter has to lie a little, of
course, or they would discharge him.
That is the only drawback to the pro
fession- That is why I left it. I am
different from Washington ; I have a
higher and grander standard of princi
ple. Washington could not lie ; lean
lie, but I won’t.
Jeff Davis Birthplace.—The New
York Times (now, perhaps, the most
thorough Radical and devoted Admin
istration paper in the country) pub
lishes a letter from Washington con
taining the extract which we copy be
low. We cannot, of course, say pos
itively whether the statement is true
or false ; but it is no disparagement to
Mr. Dr. Davis’ honor or consistency i(
he was really born in Massachusetts, if
he left the State at an age so early
that he had formed for it no patriotic
attachment or filial affection. The
following is the statement of the Times’
correspondent:
A curious fact has come to light
here concerning Mr. Jefferson Davis.
Evidence has been found to be in ex
istence that instead of being born iu
Kentucky, as has always been sup
posed and as he has always asserted,
he was really born in Massachusetts,
and therefore, instead of being a pure-
blooded son of Southern chivalry, he
is only a Massachusetts Yankee. Lan-
man’s Dictionary of Congress puts
Davis down rather indefinitely as hav
ing been born in Christian county,
Kentucky, in 1808. Persons who
claim to be well-informed say that
“Jeff” was born in old Stockbridge,
Massachusetts, in 1808, and removed
to Kentucky with his father when a
small child. His father is said to have
been a wheelright by trade; and the
house where he lived, on one side of
the raad, and the shop where he work
ed on the other side, are well remem
bered by living witnesses.
who published a newspaper in the
State of Tennessee. Dr. Craig receiv-
liberal education at the Missis
sippi State University, at Oxford, and
was graduated there with honors. On
leaving College he studied medicine at
Nashville, and in 1860 was admitted
to practice. Soon after the war broke
out, and Dr. Craig, who is a devoted
Southerner, immediately entered the
Confederate army, volunteering in the
Nineteenth Tennessee Infantry, of
which he became Assistant Surgeon,
and served in that capacity until the
surrender. In 1865 he settled in
Georgia, in the county he now repre
sents, and resumed the practice of his
profession with marked success, be
sides occasionally writing for press.
He become popular with the people
of Telfair county, and taking an active
part in political discussion, was, in
1870, unanimously nominated for the
Legislature by the Democracy, and
elected over two opponents by an
overwhelming vote. Dr. Craig has
made one of the best members of the
House. As Chairman of the Commit
tee of Auditing and Enrollment, he
has displayed an energy aud efficiency
which reflects the highest credit upon
his capacity. And he has besides,
faithfully devoted his attention to all
matters affecting the people in general,
and his county in particular. Dr.
Craig was married in 1S64, and is a
Mason. Personally, he is a most cour
teous and cultured gentleman, and is
much esteemed by all who know him.
HON. CHARLE8 H. HOOKS.
Mr. Hooks was born in Wilkinson
county in 1S23. and there received a
plain English education during the in
tervals of labor at farming, in which
occupation he has always been en
gaged. He entered political life as a
Whig, but did uot take any great in-
it is not to nominate Grant.
Now look at the case of Missouri.
The St. Louis Democrat, having turn
ed its coat since 1870, now belittles
the Liberal movement, saying that it
is of no account, and The Times
echoes it ot course. But the men who
led that movement to victory were
Carl Schurz, Gratz Brown, Grosvenor,
and not one of these is for Grant. On
the contrary, they are all dead against
him. The Times says they only led
off twenty-two thousand Republicans
in 1870* We answer, they led off"
enough to carry the State by over for
ty thousand majority. Perhaps
enough of these have come back to re
verse that verdict ; hut we know that
there are thousands of them wba
would vote for another Republican
candidate, but will not vote for Gen
eral Grant- And there is scarcely a
nearly balanced State in the Union
wherein General Grant is not a weak
er candidate than almost any other
Republican who could be nominated.
We state facts well known to intel
ligent politicians. We do not say
that General Graut will not, if nomi
nated, he elected ; we do not say that
we shal 1 not support him ; we do say
that his nomination renders doubtful a
Republican triumph which, with a
new candidate, publicly pledged to the
One-Term principle would be morally
certain. And this is se palpable that

Anecdote ok Wigkall.—A Texas
correspondent sends the following,
saying it has not appeared in print:
Mr. Louis T. Wigfall, one of the lead
ing secessionists of Texas and the
South, felt, after Lee’s surrender,
somewhat embarrassed as to bis cor
poreal safety in a land then in posses
sion of his enemies. He left Rich
mond in disguise, and travelled on
mule-back, alone, for Texas. Dick
Taylor had also surrendered, and all
the ferries and crossings were in the
hands of the Federal forces. Wigfall
could pursue no other course but to
risk himself to be put across the Mis
sissippi by a detachment of Union
soldiers. He was well disguised. Ob
serving that no allusion was made to
himself, and wishing to know, if pos
sible, how the wind blew, he began
a general tirade against the leading
Confederates, winding up by inquiring
what would be done with the scamp
Wigfall if they should catch him. The
soldiers replied they supposed they
would bang him. “Yes, they would
do exactly right; and I would pull at
one end of the rope?” replied Wigfall,
mounting his mule and trotting off
westward.
