AUGUSTA, C3-A.:
Sunday Morning, October 17, 1875.
Only a Baby.
By P. P. PATTERSON.
Onlv a baby that’s slumbering there,
With a smile ou its peaceful features;
Only a baby with face so fair,
Yet the dearest of ail God’s creatures.
Only a baby! How the careless words
sound
In the loving mother’s ears,
To whom there is nought in the world
around . ,
So deserving her smiles or so worthy her
tears.
Only a baby—whose innocent ways
Yvin all hearts to cherish and love it;
An object to humor, and pet and praise;
A being as fair as the heavens above it;
Too young to know either pleasure or sor-
To be cheered by bright hopes or dis
couraged by fears:
Having no thought of the cares of to-mor
row,
Or the thorny pathway of future years.
Onlv a baby—with hands so small
That its fingers clutch nothing but space;
Grasping at e.erything, missing them ail,
Witn a smile on its innocent face.
Innocent now; how long will it be
Ere life and its endless vexations
Will cloud the brow from care so free.
And mar the fairest of God’s creations?
Only a baby—so helpless and weak,
And yet so strong in its helplessness;
The baby eyes with such eloquence speak,
Commending each loving and tender ca
ress.
Only a baby? ’lls a tyrant as well
As the monarch who sits on the throne—
That innocent smile hath a subtile spell,
Those tiny hands have a power of their
own.
Only a baby to love and caress?
Tis a subject just dropped trom angels’
arms—
A spirit immortal still bearing impress
Of the Power which endowed it with in
nocent charms.
A new-r.orn mortal in form divine,
A soul from the unknown realms above,
A beautiful spirit, before whose shiine
We bow and acknowledge the power of
love.
Only a baby in life’s happy spring.
Tiny and frail as a delicate flower;
But the coming years of the future may
bring
Knowledge and greatness, strength and
power.
The tongue now silent soon will speak;
Those eyes will flash with Intelligent
light;
The baby hands so small and weak
Soon will be toiling from morn till night.
When the world is in darkness the fresh
falling dew
Gives life to the flowers that are dying;
After tho storm there appears to our view
The bright face of the sun, the heavy
clouds flying
Before it. So with the storms of a life it
may be
The clouds are dispersed by the smiles of
a baby.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Killing of Augusta Children by Rail
way Cai-s.
Not a year passes without one or more
children being killed by cars running
through our streets. Each accident of the
kind sends a thrill of horror through every
parent in tho city, especially those who
have boys in the habit of going whitherso
evei they will in the streets.
Tie frightful mangling Thursday eve
ning of a son of Rev. Mr. Shumate, whose
leg ! was crushed off just at its junction
with the body, the sufferings of the poor
little fellow before his heart and pains were
still ed in death, recall many other horrible
scows since tralus began to run through
town.
There should be something done to pre
vent these accidents. Wo know that the
oflliers of each road, tho engineers, brake
men, and even the hands on the train use
every procaution they possibly can, and do
the.r.best to keep boys from jumping on
thelr i platforms whilst in motion. Butin
spite'of their scolding and threats they will
persist in doing so, and the result is one
occasionally falls under tho wheels and is
killed.
Parents themselves are much to blame
for allowing their children to go about cars
unacl< impanied by nurses, and for not ad
ministering the severest castigation for
boarding them when under way. If they
cannot make them behave nobody else can.
Wo think there is another remody which
might be effectually applied. And that is to
clothe the conductors and engineers, and jthe
drivers of street cars, with power to arrest
all boys violating their rules and to carry
them to the regular police station for cor
rection. We dare say that six or seven ar
rests would break up the practice.
The Result in Ohio.
Ti e Louisville Courier-Journal expresses
tho following In regard to the result of the
elec; lon in Ohio: “ But let not the Repub
licans fancy that the result is an Indorse
ment of their administration or the accept
ance of their policy. Their thievery and
misfule have yet to be finally passed upon.
Though the verdict in Ohio is against Al
len, it is by no means in favor of Grant.
Though it announces the death of Inflation
it by no moans encourages a severe con
traction. Woe betide the party that lays the
cold hand of suffering upon labor this win
ter. Woo to those who augment or prolong
the commercial distress of the country.
It was tiie inflation theory that was
beaten and not the sudden contraction
theory that triumphed. Between the rigor
ous contraction bill for which Mr. Sohttrz
" voted in the Senate, and Bill Allen, it
would be difficult to choose. Either bill
would bring distress upon the country.
The party that endorsed either would fall
before the popular indignation. If the Re
publicans are wise they will not become in
flated by their victory. If they resume be
fore they reduce the tariff, and before they
make greenbacks receivable for customs,
they will fall, and resumption will soon
follow Inflation to the grave. There are
few Generals who know how to profit by a
victory, and fewer parties. We are bold to
say that we do not believe the Republican
party one of them.
The Grave of •* Btonew r all ” Jackson’s
Mother.
At meeting of ox-Confederate soldies and
citizens held at Hawk’s Nest on October 1,
1875, It was resolved, “ that William N*
Page, W. Tybee, Major J, S. Watts, Rev
James Haynes and Hon. H. N. Dickinson,
together with the Chairman and Secretary,
be appointed a committee, and requested
to take such steps as they may deem best
to bring the attention of the public the fact
that the mother of the late General T. J.
(Stonewall) Jackson lies burled in a neglect
ed graveyard near Hswk’s Nest, Fayette
county, W. Va.. and that an appeal be made
to the soldiers of tho late Army of North
ern Virginia, and all others who may feel
an Interest in the object, to contribute a ne
cessary fund to inclose the graveyard and
erect a suitable monument to mark the
grave of the mother of the illustrious sol
dier; and think that the time appointed
for the unvalllng of the Foley monument
of Stonewall Jaokson, in Richmond, Va.,
which has been presented to the State by
the friends of the gallant soldier in Eng
land, would be a favorable opportunity to
bring this matter to the attention of the
publio.”
Other Elections in October.
The other State elections to take place in
October are as follows: October 20 Califor
nia will hold its Judicial election, choosing
at the same time its superintendent of in
struction. October 25 elections are to be
held in Oregon and Colorado. In Oregon
the election is a special one to fill the va
cancy In Congress caused by jthe death of
Hon Geokge A. La Dow, Democrat. The
election in Colorado will t>e for the choice
of members of a convention to prepare a
constitution preliminary to the admission
of Jhe territory as a State iuto the Union
on the 4th Of July, 1876. The llnal election
of the mouth will be held in Missouri Octo
ber 30, when the new constitution, adopted
in convention in August last, will be sub
mitted bathe vote of the people. r
Two or three months ago a Detroiter
started to build him a house, and as he had
always hoard his wife “ jawing around ’’
about the lack of closets in houses, he de
termined to give her an agreeable surprise.
She went up with him a day or so ago, and
he pointed out eleven different closets to
her and asked: “ Now what do you say?”
“ Well,” she replied, after looking around,
“If there was another closet off the hall
I’d willing to live and die here!”—[De

safer from fire than the card room.

The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f iirve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for more than two vears past at, the Cotton Mill ot th
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple Is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the soeuing and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department Is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is Its secur' ty against lire. „ , , ,
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
