©jc Cirosiitntionalist AUGUSTA. GEA..; Saturday Morning, November 27.1875. [Sunday Magazine.] Between the Lights. A little pause in life, while daylight lingers Between the sunset and the pale inoon risP, Y\ hen daily labor slips from weary fingers, And soft gray shadows veil the aching eyes. Old perfumes wander back from fields of clover Seen in the light of suns that long have set; Beloved ones, whose earthly toil is over, Draw near as If they lived among us yet. Old voices call me, through the dusk re turning. I hear tue echo of departed feet; And then I ask, with vain and troubled yearning. What is the charm that makes old things so sweet? Must the old joys be evermore wltholden? Even their memory keeps me pure and true; And yet, from our Jerusalem the Golden God speaketh, saying, “ I make all things new.” “Father,” I cry, “the old must still be nearer; Stifle my love, or give me back the past! Give me the fair old earth, whose paths are dearer Than alt thy shining streets and man sions vast.” Peace, peace—the Lord of earth and heaven knoweth The human soul in all its heat and strife; Out of his throne no stream of Lethe flow eth, But the clear river of eternal life. He giveth life, aye, life in all its sweetness, Old loves, old sunny scenes will He re store; Only tne curse of sin and incompleteness Shall taint thine earth and vex thine heart no more. Serve Him in daily work and honest living. And faith shall lift thee to His sunlight heights; Then shall a psalm of gladness and thanks giving Fill the calm hour that come* between the lights. LETTER FROM BURKE COUNTY Deplorable Condition of tlie Farmers— Failure of Their Crops —Nothing to Eat, Nothing to Sell, No Credit and in Despair—The Labor Problem — And the End no Man can Foresee. [Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.] Waynesboro, Ga., Nov. 25,1875. The fall term of Burke Superior Court, which has been in session here this week, called together farmers from all portions of the county. It is enough to give one horror of horrors to hear them talk over the actual situation of their affairs. Commencing the plant ing year (just now ending) more or less in debt, the rains failed and they made not more than half a crop. They stoutly insist that more than half the men in the entire county could be driven into involuntary bankruptcy if their creditors so willed it. Worse still, they are in despair. They insist that they neither have money nor any thing to sell, that they have nothing to eat and no credit. It would be difficult to find a people more despondent, and, if what they say is true, in a more deplorable condition. “ Everything, sir,” said one to me, “in my neighborhood, which creeps, crawls or walks, fit to eat, has been devoured. We have not a hog, sheep, cow, goat, chicken or turkey left. The negroes have killed all. If we try to raise any thing it is stolen. It is impossible to protect cows, corn-cribs or hen houses. Why, our very milch cows have been slaughtered. It is easy enough for you editors to lecture us farmers about making our places self-sustaining by raising ail our own provisions and what cotton we can as a surplus. We cannot do it, however so willing. We may pen our hogs under the very window of the house and they are taken.” And what this planter told me is the story of nearly all of them. There is here and there an exception, but, in all truth, where you find one Burke county planter in even comfortable circum stances I hear twenty say they are fiat broke. I have seen nothing for sale on the streets of Waynesboro save a few bales of cotton and the inevitable apples and oranges of the perambula ting huckster. I must also except a book peddler with his satchel contain ing specimens of “ The Cross and Crown,” “ Bread of Life,” “ The True Way to Heaven,” and such choice literature. I could not help suggest ing to him that this people needed Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, the Book of Job and Hood’s Bridge of Sighs more than the books he had. He failed to see any oil in those lamps and insisted on ray taking at least one copy of the stock he had then and there on hand. But I told him to call and see my grandmother about it. I was too young to decide for myself. IN ANTE BELLUM PAY’S. Yes, even in ante revolutionary bel lum days, “ when George the Third was King,” Burke was one of the rich est and most prosperous counties in Georgia. Its lands were originally oak and hickory, produced well, and before the introduction of railways and a taste of Western meat and grain, made an abundance to eat and to sell. It was settled sim ultaneously with Richmond, and had its thrifty population when Ogle thorpe surveyed and laid out plots of cities, and Wesley preached the Word. It has at least two spots to point to where the American and British forces met and fought. Wayesboro was named for Gen. Wayne, and I was at a house this morning which sheltered George Washington and Baron Pulaski. Down to the close of the war between the States it was rich, prosperous, happy and free. But O, how changed ! Their riches have vanished like the mists of morning before the bright lances of the sun ; the arm is nerveless, palsied ; the brain in despair. Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen; Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strewn. But ultimate destiny, I trust, is other than wicked Babylon or Hundred- Gated Thebes. The poet tells us most truly that “ Hope sometimes lights her torch At Nature's funeral pyre." There Is a young Georgia coming on, necessary and urgent for the reason the present generation are fighting •with the energy of a people convinced that victory is impossible. Some of the difficulties of the rising generation are looming up gloomily In the future. The negro is already de clared an encumbrance of the ground. For a few years after he was set free, he worked for his living by force of habit and propulsion after the power of driving him was withdrawn. That no longer felt, he relaxed, crops up as a loafer around bar-rooms, a hunter in the woods, a willing listener to the in surrectionary speeches of “Major Gen eral Joseph Morris and Staff,” a volunteer in his army. “If this is in the green tree, what must we expect in the dry?” The African boy is growing up in the life of a vagabond and thief. Work is the last thing he thinks of. Living upon his wits and naturally pnly half witted In hie determination— r his chosen profession—however unde fined and uncertain that may be. This is the material out of which the future farm laborers of the land must be made. It is at once worthless, and as poor as the country now is, it must go lower unless foreign immigration comes to the rescue. Of that, we are now without prospect, but not without hope. The reason foreigners will not work upon our plantations is, they are put upon an equality with the negro. They have no society, no churches, no recreation; aDd, more than all this, they have a natural aver sion and loathing for the black man. “ALL COTTON AND NO CORN.” Much of the present evil of Burke county can be unerringly traced to the fatal mania just after the war to plant all cotton and no corn. The people as elsewhere in Georgia went crazy upon the subject when it was bringing twen ty-five and thirty cents per pound. Their stock of hogs, sheep and cattle died out. The negro became hungry. He instnctively knew that heaven grant ed the jackal as well as the lion a liv ing, and failing to have it given him in regular weekly rations, he took it wherever found. How hard was it to build the great temple of Ephesus, but how easy was the task of the fanatic to burn it down! So here we find an army of hungry cormorants, whose dire necessities will not permit them to wait long enough for the planter to cor rect his mistake by once more providing plenty to eat in the regular old way. It is difficult indeed to solve the prob lem, profitless to discuss its origin; there is no putting it aside. It is here, a living reality, and like. Byron’s ghost ly spectre, curdles a long life into one single hour. Old men look on the or gie like the victims of an Unpitying Fate! May we not hope that there are an abundance of youthful with the speech ; “Down soothiess insulter, I trust not thy tale 1” In the history of peoples, as well as in nations, Zeus and Destiny, sometimes supplant Courage and Industry, WHERE RELIEF MUST COME FROM. The counties of North and North eastern Georgia are better oft To these, to Texas, or to somewhere else, the idle and impecunious population must go until the drain reestablishes something like an equilibium. Nothing short of hunger will ever drive some people from a fatal spot. It is, per haps, well it is thus, for otherwise, we would be nomads. Jean Yaljean.

The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in •Use in Georgia. 'VTOTHING In the way of H Fertilizer and JLI Renovator of old soils, has been found equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME. It is not only for one year, but its good effects are seen and continues for eight to ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and also to Potatoes and all root crops, and should be applied in quantities not less than sto 30 bushels per acre’ For Compost Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci ally recommended to bring up our State to the front rank in Agricultural matters. The cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME will recommend it to every farmer who has used fertilizers largely for the past few years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its long years of service, acting as it does for years after its application has been forgot ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub stances the nianurial quality in Lime is more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils of common fertility, but little of it is available—Lime unlocks this store house of Nitrogen and renders it readily available for plant food. A splendid and econo i ical compost fertilize may be made by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt and three of Lime, and let the mixture stand six to eight weeks before using. This is specially adapted to using in drills for Turnips. The cheapness wad facility of procuring this wonderful renovator of the soil ought to make it one of the first object s of the farmer (who desires to improve his land) to obtain it. Nothing in the way of a fertilizer or renovator has been found equal to it, as proved by the increased yield of crops and permanent impro v ement of the soil at a cost less, by far, than any other manure. We are prepared to furnish PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds free of cart age, on cars in Port Royal, h C.
