Of Time's old Iron heart,
Which tireless now and strong as whon

Whatlsayearl 'TIs buta turn
Of Time's old brazen wheel,
Or but a page upon tho book
Which death must shortly seal.
'TIs but a step upon the road
Which wo must travel o'er,

As transient as tho mists of mom
Beneath the summer sun.

Of Ufa's oft changing sceno;

Maternal Influence.
During a lech ire on Popular Education, re
cently delivered, Gov. Briggs related the fol
lowing Impressivo Incident:
Two vo or fifteen years ago I loft Washing
ton three or four weeks during tho spring.—
While at homo, I possessed myself of the let
ters of Mr. Adams's mother, and read them
with exceeding Interest. I remember an ex
pression In one of tho letters addressed to hor
son, while yot q boy twelve years of age in
Europe. Says she, “I would rather see yon
in your grave than that you should grow up a
profane and graceless boy.”
After returning to Washington, I wentovor
to Mr. Adams's seat one day, and said to him—
“ Mr, Adams, I have found out who made
you.’’
11 What do you mean 1” aald Jte.
I replied, “I have been reading the letters
of your mother 1” Had I spoken that dear
name to somo little boy who had been for
weeks nway from bis dear mother ,htepyo
could not have flashed more brightlj^r his
face glowed more quickly, than did the eye
and face of that venerable old 'matt when I
pronounced the naino of his mother. He
started up, in his peculiar manner, and em
phatically said:
Yes, Mr. Briggs, All that is good In mo I
owe to my mother." 1 -
0b, what a testimony was that from this
venerable toAh to hts mother, who hod in his
remembrance all tho scenes of his manhood 1
All that is good I owe to my mother 1”
Mothora, think of this when yonr bright-
eyed little hoy is about you. Mothers may
make tho first impressions upon thelr ehlldron,
and thoso Impressions will b* *° b ®
effaced. -

■'The courts are all over: the happy light of

a glad farewell to tecs, clients and law, I am
off for tho northom country And now I am
In tbo magnificent city of Now York, with Its
gorgeous palaces, its filthy hovels, its noblo-
hearted men, Its consummate villains: whore
Vice and Virtue ride In the same omnibus,
and tho dead sloop hy the side of the throng
ed pathway; and tho shriek of misery and tho
plalntlvo moan of sorrow float along, so blen
ded with the merry laugh and the sound of
trumpets and clarions, that the ear cannot
separate thcral It Is truly a wonderful city:
and who shall foretell its ultimate grandeur
when a faw brief years shall have passed
away! Lookat that numberless best, a* tUy
flit along; an indiscriminate mass, yet each
ono with hts Individual cares and hts person
al joys. .Gastngat thorn, I am reminded of
the tote they tell ofan unsophisticated Geor
gian, who, having arrived by sea, and 'putup'
(In the sixth story) of tho Astor, was reques
ted by a friend to take a walk, but declined,
as he said he would prefer to wait until the
crowd which ho bow on the sldowalk had pass
ed by! Poor fellowl His eyos will opon up
on 'another and a better world' before that
■crowd’ passes by in this.
"A faw days after my arrival, I dashed Into
the melee, and was borno along, I know nor
cared not whither. Suddenly I was seised by
the arm, and before I had time fur resistance,
was hurried to a corner of the pavement, out
of tho press. I looked up with anger but
all Indignation was Instantly dlsral sed when
beheld my captor. He was a muscular
young man, with fine features, a little clouded
by liquor, without coat or hat, with- faded
pantaloons and ragged shirt slooves. Ills
countenance denoted anything but hostility;
and so, gently dtsongoging myself, I demand
ed of him what ho wanted with me. 'You
are a gentleman; a man of feeling and an
American.’he answered, with an Impressivo
and somewhat courteous manner. Iacknowl-
edged my American birth, and was about dis
claiming tho other compllmonts when he
chcckod me, with groat decision: ‘Do n't de
ny It,’ ho said; 'every faatnre of yonr nohlo
countenance whispers It. Here I have been
awaiting for hours to find some whole-souled
‘filler,' that I might ask bis advice; hut here
I have waited in vain, until yon camo along;
and the momont my eyes fall upon you, said I
to myself, 'John Bates, that’s your man; just
look at him, doubt If you canl’—and so say-
ing, I plunged Into tho crowd, and brought
you here.'
'There was an eloquonce and a truth about
niy-new ML»a-4h*t -quiteJmPtes^Ai»«MAJn a falLsnlt j
sivo; and although I dldnot quite understand
(He figure ot speeen mnm» c.-^— i-v-ro.,
lng,’ and had consldorablo doubt concerning
the 'nohlo countenance,’ yet, upon tho whole,
I felt Interested in him; considering him, cer
tainly, as a man of sonse. 'Tako my hand.’
ho added, and I took It. ‘Now,’ said ho 'you’vo
got the hand of ono of the best and noblest
fallen' in the world. I won’tlio, even though
I bo talking about myself. My mothor said
to me in mj Infancy, ‘John,’ soys she, ‘never

The Southern elections aro over. The
‘stars and stripes’ still float ovor us. Goorgla
despite the provocation she, in Common with
the Southern States, received, has remained
truo to tho Union; true to the high calling of
this great confederacy. A year ago, a black
clond hung ovor tho fortunes of tho Republic.
Men’s hearts throbbed with anger and with
sorrow: for although we loved the Union, and
though we ardontly desired its perpetuity,
wo of tho South could not close our eyos to
tho fact that tboro was a crisis at hand that
might compel hundreds of thousands who
wduld fain cling to it through life, to fling It
away from onr hearts, and to stand by our
homes aud our hearth-stones. The struggle
was fierce: bnt tho hand of Provldeneo has
EUided our ship threneh the racing billows.
lVo have forgiven tho past; forgiven the with
drawal of generous feeling, the refrisal of
Christian confidence and fellowship. Of all
these we have said, ‘Let by-gonesbo by-gone«.’
With the dignity and calmness of men, with
out bravado or threat, we have announced
the conditions upon which we eon remain to

opinion on this point in Georgia. Wo have

” Men should not marry,” it 1s commonly
said, “unless thoy can, not only maintain far
themselves tho social position to which they
havo been accustomed, but extend the bene
fits of that position to their wives children A
woman who marries U entitled to be kept in
tho same rank and comfort in which she was
reared.” Wo entirely disavow these doctrines.
It Bhoald bo tho aim of overy married couplo
to mako their own fortune. No son and
daughter, who become man and wife, aro en
titled to roly on tholr patrimony, but should
willingly commence life at a lower step in the
social ladder than that occupied by their par
ents, so that they may havo the merit and
happiness of rising, If possible, to thotop.—
Imagine tho case ofan aged couple, who, by
groat pctsevcranco, have acquired possession
oflmmense wealth, and are living In a style
ofcaso and splendor which Is no more than
tho reward of their long life nnd industry.—
Will any body say that the children of such
“old folks" should live in tho same grandeur
as tlicir parents 1 Tho idea te preposterous.
They havo no right to such luxury—they
have done nothing to doservo it—and, If their
parents are honest In dividing their property
among them, they can have no means of sup
porting It. Yot, marriages are contracted on

able to keep up the rank to which they have
been accustomed undor the parental roof. It
