©je Constitutionalist 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 troit Free Prees.

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.
