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 !)

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. From the Manual ami Biographical Register of Geor gia for 1872, bjr A. St. Clair-Abrams. MOUSE Of BBPUSBNTATIVEf. 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?

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 rants. 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.

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.
