51Y SHIP COKES IN.
My ship comes sailing in from sea,
And I am glad as glad can be.
Oh! I have kissed my love to night.
And all life seems one calm delight.
My ship comes in, my ship cotncs in,
My ship comes sailing up the sea,
And life is like a dream to me.
The stats look larger than before;
! The moon is silver now. The door
Of Paradise seems opened wide
As you church door for my fair bride.
My ship comes in, my ship comes iu,
My ship comes climbing up the sea,
Aud land am; sea are fair to me.
I know full well in my ship's hold
Lie neither gorgeous silks nor gold;
But oh! 1 know my love love, me,
Aud ask no more of land or sea.
My ship comes in, my ship comes in.
My ship ha s crossed the lonesome sea,
And I am glad as glad can be.

TUI- HIDDEN CONTINENTAL.
The eventful year of 1778 was drawing
to a close when Colonel Campbell, of the
British army, landed near Savannah, and
fell furiously on (he Americans under
General Howe. Howe’s troops were in no
condition to face the enemy; an unsuccess
ful campaign in the Flori las had enfeebled
his men by disease, and deeming “dis
cretion tlie better part of valor," he re
treated up the river.
Of course, the then capital of Georgia
fell into the hands of the enemy, who
abused his triumph, and consigned his
name to an unenviable fame.
There was a strong tory element in
; Savannah which had been kept iu check
by the presence of the Continentals; but
when the British marched into the city, it
rose and asserted its strength. Houses
were plundered, and a number of patriots
bayoneted in the streets. Neighbor rose
against neighbor, and toriis led a piun
, dering soldiery to the homes of the
patriots.
The Holly family that dwelt in Savan
nah at the time of its capture and sack,
consisted of tlirce persons- the mother
and two children. The father, a man of
wealth and influence in Georgia, had died
during the year that proceeded the out
breaking of the war, and the home of his
family was one of the finest residences in
the city.
Miriam Holly, the oldest child, was a
beautiful girl of nineteen, while her
brother was five years her junior. If the
father had lived, he might have proven a
to'-y, for he was devotedly attached to tho
mother country, and when the king’s
troops took possession of the capital. Col.
Campbell commanded that the Holly’s
home should not be ransacked.
Thus the house escaped pillage, and
Miriam hastened to thank the soldier for
his kindness,
Cob nel Campbell was struck by the
girl's grace and remarkable loveliness, and
detained her at his headquarters until he
had learned her family history by many
adroit questions.
“There coos the handsomest woman in
Georgia!” cried Campbell, as the girl left
the house.
Ilis companion, who happened to be his
chief of staff, looked alter Miriam aud
remarked:
“I quite agree with the colonel. These
American rebels are all beautiful.”
Campbell was silent for a moment.
“We will not occupy this building after
to-morrow,” he said suddenly. “I am
going to take up iny abode beneath the
same roof that shelters Miriam Holly.”
“Love at first sight, colonel,” said the
chief of staff, with a merry twinkle in iiis
eyes. “Is Lady Bonn so soon forgotten,
my dear colonel?”
“Lady Bonn be hanged!” cried Camp
bell. “A soldier loves when and whom
ho pleases, and besides, major, one is not
obliged to marry them American girls
because he loves them.”
The conversation was interrupted by
tbe arrival of an orderly, and was not re
sumed.
On the following day Colonel Campbell
made Miriam Holly’s home his head
quarters.
The girl grew deathly pale when she
learned of the sudden change, and said in
a whisper to her mother:
“This is a terrible event. He is not fit
to depart yet, nor will he be for a week to
come.”
“Miriam, I have been thinking that it
might bo policy for us to give him up to
tho army,” replied Mrs. Holly.
“Give him up now?” cried the girl.
“Give him up and hoar every toty in
Savannah cry for his blood? No! Unless
discovered, he shall remain where he is
until he is able to escape!”
Miriam Holly spoke with much firm
ness, and tears stood in the mother’s eyes
when she opened her arms and received
. he daughter in her embrace.
“Forgive me, Milium!” she cried.
SUMMERYIId.E, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBHK2B, 1878.
“Wo must keep our secret from Colonel
Campbell, lie must not know who lies
to-day beneath our roof.”
So Miriam hastened from her mother’s
presence, and by touching a concealed
spring in the wall of an unfinished room,
revealed a narrow stairway. She at once
mounted the stops and entered a very
small apartment into which light streamed
from a sky-window.
The room was tenanted. On alow cat
lay a man in his twenties. His dark hair
contrasted vividly with the deathly pallor
of his face, and tho suit of faded con
tinental uniform, with a sword, that hung
against the wall over tho bed, told
that he was an American soldier. A boy
of fifteen who sat on the edge of the hod
was reading aloud, but in a cautious tone,
when the door opened to admit Milium.
The invalid’s face lit up with a smile
when the fair girl came 'orward and took
his fevered hand.
Then she told himaboutCoh Campbell's
change of quarters, and ho listened with
out a question.
“Well?" he said at last, “what are wo
going to do?”
“We are going to remain hero till we
get strong enough to leave tlie city,”
answered Miriam, with a smile, and even
while she spoke a faint noise below told
her that the British colonel was moving
into his m w quarters.
The continental was a captain iu Howe’s
little army. lie had served tho colonies
with a zeal surpassed by none who rallied
round the cause of freedom; but disease
had seized upon him iu Florida, and he
returned with the troops to Georgia to
find an asylum in Miriam Holly’s home,
and to be nursed by her through tho long
hours of his fever- The attending physi
cian was a man who knew how to keep a
secret, and as his sympathies were with
the patriot cause, he gave Miriam many
va'uable hints that looked to tho hidden
soldier’s health and future safety.
Col- Campbell, bent on the conquest of
the fair girl’s heart, tried to make himself
agreeable to the inmates of tho mansion.
Miriam took good care not to show him
that his absence would be more desirable
than his company, and tho widow treated
him with a courtesy that kept him aloof
from suspicion for several days.
1 1 was believed by the lories of Savannah
that a number of continentals remained
secreted in the city. Inded, several had
been discovered since its capture, and at
the time of the commandant's change of
quarters an active search for such persons
was going on.
“Is this huu-e haunted, Miss Miriam?”
asked the colonel ono morning at tho
break last-table.
The girl started at the abrupt question
and wondered it she turned pale.
“Haunted?” she echoed, with an effort.
“The ghosts must he rats. Have you
been visited by sheeted beings?”
“No, hu' after I had retired last night
I hoard a noise like the sound of distant
voices, i t seemed to ho directly overhead,
and I called my chief of staff. Who sleeps
over my apartment, if you will permit so
hold a question?”
“My brother,” answered Miriam quick
ly. “I was with him until a late hour
last night.”
“And the night before?”
“Yes.”
“Then I heard the sound of your voices,
no doubt,” said Campbell, glancing at the
chief of staff, whose eyes, during the
conversation, had been fastened on the
girl’s face.
Maj. Guilford had noticed every change
of countenance, and when the twain had
retired from the breakfast-table, he
grasped his superior’s arm.
“What do you say now, colonel?” he
cried in triumph.
“I don’t know what to say. I—”
“I watched her like a hawk, ar.d I tell
you that the g'rl is dissimulating There
is a rebel soldier in thi home!"
Col. Campbell rWked at his mgjor, but
did not speak.
“I never did believe that she was a
Tory,” continued Guilford. “She is one
of the rankest rebels in Savannah. Why,
colonel, so long as the continental remains
beneath this roof, you cannot succeed with
her. He stands between you and Miriam
Holly, so you see the line of your policy
is clearly before you.”
The British co oncl started.
“I did not think of that!" he said.
“Major, we will solve the mystery of the
sounds we heard last night.”
“With me it is solved already,” was the
chief of staff’s reply.
From that hour Miriam Holly wa
watched.
Her absence from the lower rooms was
noted, and the colonel knew when she was
not in her boudoir.
A- tile days waned, the hidden conti-
nental improved, and at last he rose and
denned his faded uniform.
“To-morrow night, if it ho dark and
stormy,” Miriam said to him, while she
i polished his sword in tho mellow light of
the lamp. “1 have tho doctor’s assistance
and the horse will not fail you. You know
whither to ride, and before long this sword
which Howe has missed will flash once
more before tho enemy.”
Miriam Holly fancied that she wasabout
to outwit the king’s men. The continental
was ready for flight, and there wore true
friends who promised to help him beyond
the city.
It was with delight that the girl hailed
the great drops of rain that pattered on
the panes of her window, when the dark
ness of the chosen night fell over the city
like a pall. The thunder rolled about the
houses, and now and then flashes of light
ning revealed glimpses of (liu carnival ol
rain.
In the hidden room stood Cant. Tempest
the shadow of his former self, but strong
in the desire for liberty. He waited for
Miriam, who came at last and showed him
rain-drops on her.
“The dements are assisting us,” she
said, joyfully. “The doctor is waiting
like a hero under the elm, and ho has the
pass word. ’ ’
“Good! Are they asleep?”
"They retired two hours ago,” said
Miriam. “I aui satisfied that the coast is
| eh ur.”
Then tho soldier picked up his sword
! with a pride that cans; and his eyes to flash
' and Miriam was smiling on him, when a
voice made both start aud hold their
breath.
A step on the secret stair!
The twain exchanged startled glances,
and the girl turned to the door, which
opened suddenly, and rove Jed the lacc
lof Colonel Campbell. Over his shoulder
j flashed the chief of staff’s triumphant
eye.
| This unexpected event throw the
lovers off their guard, and as tho British
officers leaped into the room, with
swords half-drawn, the highest in ra ,k
exclaimed:
“A rebel’s nest! So, So! Surrender
at once, or 1 will rob the rebel troops of
one sneaking officer!”
His last words were addressed to the
continental captian, whoso answer was
kept l ack by Miriam i lolly’s action.
Shrinking from the British officers, she
reached llm bed whereon a pistol lay, anda
moment later she held it tightly gripped
in iter hand 1”
“Gentlemen, it may be the king’s cause
that will loose in this game,” she said,
add-es.-ing Col. Campbell. “You will
sheathe your swords ami obey me!"
Campbell and his chief of staff ex
changed glances.
At Miriam’s command they stepped from
before tho door, and the looked ut hol
lo ver.
“You know the way,” she said. “Those
soldiers will not pursue in snub a storm.
I will he responsible for their safety, for
they wouldn’t have a bullet in their uni
forms for the world, Go, Marvin, and let
every blow that you deliver 1 e a blow for
freedou !”
He said “good-by,” as lie stepped to
the door; he bade the discomfited officers
good-night in a sarcastic tone that made
them wince, and then passed down the
stair.
The officers’ forced confinement was
irksome to them, and the minutes passed
slowly away. By and by, Miriam Holly
laid the pistol on the bed, and told the
story of her lover's sickness. Campbell
and his chief of staff listened with delight
to her voice, forgetting that they were
prisoners no longer.
When they at last went down tho nar
row stair, Mariam’s eyes followed them,
and her good-night, so fill! of triumph,
made Campbell grate his teeth.
“She’s beaten me!” he said to his
brother-officer.
“Ive lost the prize. \WII go hack to
the old quarters to-morrow.”
He was as good as his word, and few
pt rsons ever learned why tho colonel so
hastily quit the Holly man-i irt, and re
turnou to his first quarters.
Captain Tempest escaped and returned
to Savannah at the head of a regiment,
when the British flag was lowered to a
delivered nation.
'I hen ho claimed a bride and everybody
was made acquainted with tho story of
t':e hidden Continental.

PASSIONS THAT INItItCK DISEASE.
The passions which act most severely on
physical life arc anger, fear, hatred, and
grief. Tho ether passions arc compara
tively innocent. What is called the pas
sion of love is not injurious until it lapses
into grief and anxiety; on the contrary, it
sustains the physical power. What is
called ambition is of iiself blameless; for
ambition, when it exists purely, is u
nobility, lifting its owner entirely from
himself into the exalted service of man
kind. It is injurious when it is debased
by its meatier ally, pride, or when, stimu
lating a man to strenuous efforts after
some great, object, it leads him to the per
formance of excessive mental or physical
labor, and to the consequences that follow
such effort.
'l’ne passion called avarice, according to
general experience, tends rather to the
preservation of the body than to its
deterioration. The avaricious man, who
seems to tho luxurious world to ho de
barring himself of nil the pleasures of the
woild, and to bo exposing himself to the
fangs of poverty, is generally placing
himself in the precise conditions favorable
to a long aud healthy existence. By
his economy he is saving himself from all
the worry incident to penury; by his
caution lie is screening himself from all
the risks incident to speculations ur the
attempt to amass wealth by hazardous
means; by his regularity of hours and
perfect appropriation of the sunlight, in
preference to artificial illumination, he
rests and works in periods that precisely
accord with the periodicity ol nature;
by his abstemiousness in living, he takes
just enough to live, which is precisely the
right thing to do according to the natural
law. Thus, in almost every particular, he
goes on his way freer than other men from
the eternal causes of all tho induced
diseases, and better protected than most
men from tho worst consequences of those
diseases which spring from uncontrollable
causes.

A Washington correspondent to the
Baltimore Sun says:
r ffi, A it l ionul lli-imblicuu. of this city,
will, on Wednesday, l.’ith inst., publish
the ft Honing as tho views of the President
in regard t.o the situation in the South.
In answer to a question as to whether the
Southern policy had been discussed in the
Cabinet, the President is reported to huy 0
said: “That is a mistake; tho time for
discussing it lias passed. It is now too
laic for anything but the most determined
and vigorous action. The determination
was reached several days ago, and the
deliberations of the Cabinet on this subject
since then have been comparatively biiof
and confined mainly to the consideration
of the duty of the Atlorney-Genoral iu the
premises.” 'The President has always
thought that his policy would win It: ck
the South. He was asked how ho ac
counted for the result in the face of the
fair promises of the South. “That
question,” said he, "leads directly to a
discussion of what has been latterly termed
the Southern policy of the administration.
When that policy was first inaugurated it
was with an earnest desire to conciliate
the Southern leaders, to round off tho
sharp angles of sectional difference, and
to soften the asperities of political strife.
No ono will deny that the attempt to en
force this policy was most earnestly made,
nor that it was carried out with a con
scientious desire to accomplish the result
lor which it had been inaug irated. Of
tho personal and partisan sacrifices I made
in this effort, and of the consequent in
terruption of eerta’n relations which had
previously existed between myself and
Home of my supporters, I have nothing to
say just now. But it appears that the
lenders who made those pledges either
did not exert themselves to keep them or
were unable to do so. In fact, lam
reluctantly forced to admit that, the ex
periment was a failure. Tho first election
of importance had since it was attempted
has proved that fair elections, with free
suffrage for every voter iu the .Mouth, are
an impossibility under the exi.-ting con
dition of things.” “It is not because the
Republican party appears as the sufferer
in tlic.-e results that I. complain,” con
tinued the President; “it is been use tree
suffrage and freedom of political rights
have been interfered with that I atn
culled upon to take cognizance of these
disturb laces, li the facts were exactly
reversed, and if the Republicans bad
committed the outrages upon the Demo
crats, my duty would he the same. It
will not. do for me, or for any official before
whom these questions may come, to treat
them otherwise than iu a nonpartisan
ay. ‘The partisan press wi I naturally
■ iko a partisan view of the case, and l
NUMBER -18.
will he held to account for aiding the
Republicans—the stalwarts, l mean —in
flaunting tli" bloody shirt, as it is called.’ 1
Mr. Hayes said further: “t can’t expect
to hold the office I do without being
kicked and cuffed a little, you know, but
for all that 1 shall do my duty as the Chief
Magistrate of all the people, Democrats
aud Republicans alike, and if, in the
faithful execution of tho laws, justice
shall demand the punishment of this or
that uian, whatever his political connection
may be, 1 shall not he deterred by partisan
criticifiw. All that I know is that great
crimes have been committed, and it is my
duty to aid in Iho punishment of tho
criminals.” The President said that
“Gov. Hampton, for example, has tried
repeatedly to repress tho violence which
lias characterized the campaign in South
Carolina, and failed. Such Republicans
as Judge Lee, and Mr. Rainey, and ex*
Statu Senator Swails, of that State, have
advised me of these facts. They say
that Hampton cannot control the ‘red
shirts,’ as they call them, and they have
repeatedly informed me of speeches he
has made, deprecating violc ice in the
conduct of tho campaign. And it appears
that Gov. Nieholls, of Louisiana, is
earnestly opposed to these proceedings
or tho same kind of violence in his
State.”
The hopeless failure of Sullivant, the
great Illinois “Corn King,” is only one
of several cases that go to show that large
farms do not pay in this country. Mr.
Sullivant’s farming operations were on tho
grandestscale. His furui consisted of forty
thousand acres, and everything was con
ducted in i lie most collossal manner.
Apparently the average expenses, owing
to the adoption of the best implements of
husbandry, were much loss than those of
small farms, hut tho result has proved
otherwise. .Sullivant is now without a
roof of his own for a shelter for him
self and family. Ilis royal estate has
bceu sold under foreclosure of mortgages,
and with all his personalty failed to
realize enough to pay his debts by
SIOO,OOO. The immense tract will now
bo divided up into small farms. It will
make two hundred and fifty farms of one
hundred aud sixty acres each, furnishing
homes to that number of families, and
will serve a much better purpose than
while under the control of a single in
dividual,

Gustave Dore, the famous French
artist, is coming over to see the great
natural curiosities of this country. While
sonic ef these are world famous, there are
many others just as > rand and incompar
able, which are hardly known yet in the
old world. The grand canon of the
Yellowstone, only recently explored by
l'rof. Hayden, is described as tlie most
remarkable region on tho Continent,
abounding in indescribable wonders. Tbe
gorge of the canon “is three thousand
feet deep, and in some places the walls
arc almost perpendicular. At tho bottom
it is so dark that the stars arc plainly
vi.-iblc during the daytime. Tho river is
about six hundred feet wide, and plunges
over four precipices in gram! waterfalls.
One of tho falls is a sheer leap of four
hundred feet.” — Ex.
A gentleman who supported Dr. Felton
tw : years ago and voted fur .Judge Lester
ut the last election tells this good joke on
hluiself. It runs thus: “In 1876 I carried
a large number of negroes to tho polls and
they all voted for Dr. Felton. This year
l thought Lester ought to be elected, and
expected to vote my colored fellow-citizens
for him; but when the election day came,
they all went and voted for Felton again;
and I learned then, for the first time,
that the niggers voted me in 1876, instead
of me voting the niggers.”— Rome
Courier.
It has been overlooked but it is a very
singular coincidence. New York generally
goes Democratic, but from some cause or
other, this year she went Radical. Aud
this year she is shaken from center to cir
cumference with an epidemic of crime,
the sanctity of the grave not even being
respected by her criminals. The query is
naturally suggested, therefore, why is it
that crime, villuiny and Radicalism always
go together?— Ex.
At Brussels tho other day a woman
appeared at the police office to complain
of her husband who had boxed her ears.
“Boxed your ears, eh?” said the official;
“how?” "So,” said the woman, and
loaning over the desk, she guve tho
official a wlmek of the heartiest sort, lie
reported the assault to his superior, but,
"in consequence of ilie woman's naircte,”
llic report leads, she was excused• Ex,
