CT-lje Coiisditiilionalist 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! Paullvb. 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 in gold since the Grocer exploded the short crop theory. Still the coffee ring 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 iddy, pitty, goosey-pooseys. 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 yard in the cellar. It looks as if he didn’t want his daugbteis to have a bit pf pleasure. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS.

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.

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, Mbs. A. M.

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. *3-The re is abo a great saving of room and power over the old system. These Machines may bo seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac turing Company, and at the best nans at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester Lewiston.

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.
