AUGUSTA, CAA..Z
Wednesday Morning, Dec. 15, 1875.
hale of the Crib.
Oh, stern and stlent my fattier grew—
The landlord said that the rent was due,
And mother wept as she turned away;
He saw her tears, but he would not stay.
The hearth was cold, the night was chill:
Our money lay In the alehouse till;
And, cold and weary, we crept inside
The little crib where the baby died.
The morrow came, and the landlord, too;
Again he said that the rent was due,
And left the] door with a bitter curse,
When mother showed him her empty
purse.
Then one by one though our treasures
went,
There yet was lacking a tithe of rent,
Until we gave—we had naught beside—
The little crib where the baby died.
It stood on the auction block next day;
I pick up rags, and I passed that way
For one more look at the cradle where
The darling lay. and I saw it there.
The tears would come, tho’ I held my
breath;
I lived all over her life and death—
The crowd pressed on—l was pushed
aside—
They sold the crib where the baby died!

The Maid of Athens.
The North port (L. I.) Advertiser pub
lishes the following translation of a bi
ographical sketch of “The Maid of Ath
ens” from the Ephimeris, an Athenian
newspaper:
It is sad to survive the great senti
ments of love and see the object of
one’s former adoration. Love is youth
and vigor, and on these are based his
power and beauty. It oppresses the
memory which seeks to find him again
in the decline of old age. Those who
have loved and imagined love as per
petual, they die. If they have sur
vived to the lapse of time, their names
would have been dead, and they would
not understand how they could have
ever loved. These sad reflections have
been inspired to us by the death and
funeral of the venerable old lady, Te
resa Black, daughter of Procopius
Makry of Athens. She was the Maid
of Athens, sung by the great poet By
ron, in 1810, then a beautiful young
girl, one of the lovliest of Athens.
Lord Byron is no more. He is dead
long ago. Oh! what would he think if
he could see the funeral o her who
was the object of his most tender
dreams, of the venerable old lady; and
observe how time passes—he who by
his genius has been in advance of his
time and fell before time overreached
him. But how did Lord Byron make
her acquaintance in Athens ? Hugh
Williams, in his book of “Travels in
Italy and Greece,” writes as follows ;
We have been taken to the house of
Mrs. Consul Theodora Makry, where
we now' live. This lady, widow of the
consul, has three daughters, full of
charms, of whom the eldest, famous
for her beauty, is, as they say, the
Maid of Athens of Lord Byron. They
live opposite our partition in the house,
and if you could see them as we do
through the fragrant flowers which
adorn our windows you would certainly
have left your heart in Athens. Teresa,
Katinka and Mariana are all of middle
size. They wear the Albanian fez on
their heads, projecting from a kind of
star. Round the fez they put a multi
color handkerchief. The hair of the
youngest, attached with silk, falls
loose on her shoulders, reaching down
below the waist. The other two lift
their hair up and attach it with a ker
chief. The two eldest have black eyes
and ebony hair, oval face, rather pale,
straight nose, slightly curbed. Little
Mariana is very white. Her face is
less round, and she is always smiling,
while her sisters are rather pensive,
unless the conversation is gay. Their
demeanor is noble, and their manners
gentle, agreeable and refined. They
would attract attention in any country.
They possess to an eminent degree the
gift of talking pleasantly, and seem to
be mentally developed above the av
erage of the other Athenian women.
Possessing so many charms, it is
natural that they are objects of admi
ration by strangers. They sit in the
Oriental style, with the head thrown
slightly back. They lay their shoeless
feet on the sofas. Their occupation is
sewing, embroidery and reading.
Thus this foreigner describes the
beauty of the three girls, the oldest of
whom, wife of tne Englishman Black,
was buried the day before yesterday.
It appears that Byron was profoundly
moved at the sight of the fair Teresa.
On leaving Athens he addressed to her
the well-known verse :
Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, Oh! give me back my heart.
This poem is charming in the origi
nal. At the end of each verse are put
the words of Greek.
Zoe mou sas agapo.
He said he did not like to translate it
in English, in order not to lose the ten
derness of the expression. But he for
got to substitute the somewhat formal
oas (you) with the more tender oe (thee).
Such was the love of the impetuous
Byron at the time for the twelve years’
old Teresa, that he asked her for mar
riage from her mother. But his propo
sition was rejected on the ground that
the girl was too young. She hardly re
membered, later on, the distinguished
and handsome young man of twenty
two, the admirer of her twelve sum
mers. She only remembered dimly a
beautiful picture of beauty and genius.
Later on the son of a Colonel in the
English army, James Black, came to
Greece with' other Philhellenists. He
saw Teresa at a ball, given by the Lord
High Commissioner at Corfu, fell in
love with her, and married her. A
peaceful family life, and mutual love,
completed the years of the blessed
couple, and served to compensate them
somewhat for family misfortunes which
came afterwards. And now, looking
once more on her pale and respected
face, and having before our eyes those
verses of Byron, so full of life, and
remembering his sad and premature
end, we have felt that indescribable
feeling on human affairs which for a
moment suppresses a tear and turns the
mind to unusual reflections. One more
mouth has been closed which could
tell us, even ever so little, of that great
existence of the great Philhellenist
which is gone by like a dream. Poor
mortals that we are !
The American Grocer says that the
decline on Rio coffee is fully two cents

Is not discouraged, but asks Congress
to put a heavy tariff on coffee, in order
to add to its profits.
After an Indiana baby had swallowed
a button and been stomach-pumped
out, it was observed that he would
sadly turn from a floor strewn with
buttons, to play with the nose of a hot
tea kettle. He couldn’t be pumped but
once.
liarnum’s baby hippopotamus sold
for S‘4>,ooo at auction. There are babies
in this country that couldn’t be bought
for twice the money. No, indeed !—the

Spilkins says that all the perils and
horrors of a maelstrom aren’t a circum
stance to the horrors of hearing a
fe-male-strom on the piano, next door,
from morniDg till night.
A farmer, whose front gate has
caused him much annoyance and ex
pense, vows that if he were to build
another house he would put the front

HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS r be those afflicted w ith Consump
tlon, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs. Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt's Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga , April 28,1872.
Dr. Tutt : — ln gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended with great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and ain now per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very respectfully,

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angei to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that ic often leads to
misanthropy. , ,
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed. , _ ,
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Ltver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of All who need a

Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps wnen ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.

Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. [
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen . I neve been running your system of Compound Opener Lnpper'. asd
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more th*r two wars oact at the Cotton Mil) of tno
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e 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 seeding 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 fire. , t .
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent
