AN ORIGINAL POEM. For the Georgia Herald ] Why should cot Romance its spirit still breathe Aod o’er life’s living scenes its splendors wreathe ? Do not love, joy, sorrow yet thrill the soul, Id chequered scene tv et on life’s shifting scroll ? Do not the hours, with shuttle swiftly sped, In web of time still weave their changeful thread ? Does not nature her robe of beauty wear, Bloom not the flowers as serenely fair, Does not the sun its morning splendor shed, Wrap not as gorgeous hues its evening bed, Wears not night as radiant coronet As when Romeo wooed fair Juliet? Do not the stars from their blue sphere above As brightly beam, and whisper still of love, And still conspire to weave their mystic spell. O’er tryst of moustached gent and modern belle, Though plain saloon instead ol greenwood tree Their unromantic trysting place may be ? Let romant c minds sigh for green-wood bower And starlit scene, as love’s blissful place hour Oh ! who would not with wiser taste prefer To breathe the whispered vow in beauty’s ear, As sbe, bedecked with silks, jewels, and laces And witch’ry of late Parisian graces In gayly i.ttired saloon reigns supreme, W’hilst brightly from gilded ceiling stream The silv’ry rays of light from kerosene. Or gas, beauty shedding of softest sheen ? Then to know with papa’s will, your suit is paid Who has your prospects scann’d—your purse has weigh’d. If there is bliss in passion—romance in love, ’Tis here, the heart the ecstasy may prove. Then, modern etiquette, with prudish sense Deems the lonely tryst as a grave offence. But now there’s not in love that hindrance That erst to it, gave zest of sweet romance ; To charm, its curse now runs with too smooth stream. Let him, who thus of modern courtship deem, From fashion’s dizzy hights. “ The- Upper- Ten,” Some millionare’s daughter attempt to win. Though, wit, grace, moral worth their charms may lend, Unless Wall street stocks may his suit commend, He seeks in vain to win—as vainly far— To lead from its azure throne yon bright star, The course of love has not become so squared In modern age, to prevent luck ill-starred, Nor high-born lady and swain In the past, may of blighted hopes complain. Does not woman possess as glowing charms, As when made the prize of passage-ats arms ? Is she not still, sweet volume of romance, Which modern culture serves but to en hance ? Romantic is she—and ever has been— In every phase of life and every scene. Romantic—as schooLgirl in white pinsas sere, With lesson to con and text to explore. Romantic is she—lovely to behold, As she sports eyes of blue or curls es gold, Romantic—when with eyes and tresses bright, That orb the shades and wear the hues of of night. Romantic is she—when maiden in bow’r She love ditties sings to begu’le the hour. Romantic is she—seen at the bridal, As she dwells in cot or reigns in proud hall. Romantic—when with copy of herself, She lends to time, in merry little elf, Romantic is she—viewed as Egypt’s queen, Or sheperdess in dance upon the green. Romantic—when with jewels and laces, She adds to beauty Parisian graces. Romantic—clad in serge or silken gown, As sweet bonnie lass or belle of the town, Romantic—when in cottage or palace, With loveliness wreathed or has a plain face. Romantic—when she spreads like a balloon, Or with change of fashion wanes like the moon. Romantic is she—as widow in weeds When o’er buried love her heart still bleeds, Romantic is she—in midst of housewife’s cr.res, And very useful when she food prepares, Unromantic is she—when she lists to as sume Like Turk of the East, the Bloomer costume, False Knight is he, and recreant to love Who will not with honor her claims thus prove. But there is no scope for her to display Toe daring deed, as sung in minstrel lay? Like Joan’d’Arc, deliverer of France, Who bade war-like hosts to viot’ry advance ; Or Peofthesilea, Amazon queen. Who girding on armor of glitt’ring sheen, And fiercely grasping dart and crescent shield, Raged in fight around old Troy’s battlefield. Is there no chatice left in the present day For woman the part of heroine to display? Behold ! brave Dicksoo, Cushing’ and Luoy Stone • Leave not heroism to the past alone. Their souls with tow’ring ambi ion disdain servile pursuits of the common train,, Let others choose to fill home’s quiet sphere, They will carve in life the lofty career, In broad arena the exploits achieve, Which for their brows fame’s green sham* rock will weave. To win for their sex political franchise, Is the cause that uerves them to high em prize. Armed with effrontery’s brazen coat of mail, No gaz : ng throng their dauntless spirits quail. The shafts of ridicule, tho’ sharp and fierce, Fail the weak joints of their armor to pierce, Brandishing the tongue, the shrew’s potent lance, They undismay’d, to the combat advance. Religion, morals, their sex, may oppose, They cower not t> such Pygmean foes, Nor mouth will they close—nor place tons gue in rest, Until victory won, shall their cause invest. No longer shall it be their menial fate To druge for man in hymcnial state. Florence Nightingale may in task delight, In minist’ring to woe as angel of light, And Ileav’n on the deed benison pronounce, They do such drudg’ry fore’er renounce For them the nobler task is now assign’d, To aid the world with potent strength of mind, To steer the proud ship of State clear of rocks, And live to bless the world through ballot box. (to be continued.) JflisccilancoHS. Ashland—The Clay Homestead . — A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes from Lexington, Ky. as follows: Passing out of Lexington to the cast, you go along the pike for a mile and half, when you will see to vour right, and perhaps eighty yards from the road a moderately large brick house, surrounded upon all sides by trees. These trees are of several varieties, and so lage that the place has the appearance of natural forest. They were set out by Clay long ago, and are suffered to remain, notwith standing they almost hide the house from view. The place is known as Ashland, the home of Clay. But time and events have changed it so much that it has almost lost lost its idenity, and I imagine looks very little as it did in Clay’s life time, twenty years ago. Great trees have grown up around the house, and the house is gone—l mean the original Clay house. Anoth er stands upon the foundation of the old one, which was built upon the same plan by his son Joseph Clay, who is now dead ; but the old Ash land house itself, the one built by Henry Clay, was torn down a long time ago. I was shown through the present mansion, but there was little in it to remind one of the great ‘Tlenry of the West.” The house and premises have passed into other hands. Even the great picture of “Clay and his Friends,” the best one in existence, was taken down a few days ago, and shipped North* It was a large one, about ten to twelve feet, and very valuable. It was painted by Stanton, and was his property, although he allowed it to remain at Ashland. Some time ago he, too, died in Europe, and m his will he bequeathed this splendid picture to a literary insti tution in the North, and the new own ers coming for it, it had to go. “Mary had a little Lamb” is no longer sung by the school girls ; in keeping with, the progressive times we now have proclaimed in loud, clear tones: Mary has a Grecian bend, Which crooks her like a bow, And looks, when sticking up on end, Like a hump on buSalo. It follows heT behind all day When she goes forth to school, And makes the children laugh and play To find her such a foil. The teacher, shocked, in silence turns, His blushing face he veils, And Mary then how wicked learns It is to bear false tales. ggg 1 * Josh Billings says : ‘One of the funniest scenes I ever see’d wuz two old maids waitin on one sick widower.’ THE RADICALS OF GEORGIA AND BING HAM’S AME XDM EX T. There has been a persistent effort by the Radicals of Georgia to excite opposition in Congress to the amend ment above-mentioned, because the Democrats ot the State desire its adob tion. This was the object of Avery’s dispatch, aloso of Collector Robb’s— and the same note has been sounded time aud again by Bullock, Blodgett, negroes & Cos., in Washington. THiy this fear of the House Bill with Bigham’s amendment ? The pre text is, that it will put power in the hands of the Democrats—the rebel element, as they term it—and enable them to oppress the Union men.— What power does the amendment conter upon rubles or Union men — Democrats, or Radicals, or any body of men ? A 7 one whatever. It is unreasonable to suppose that the present House of Representatives would adobt any measure intended or calculated, by the most distant impli cation, to give the least power to Democrats There is nothing of the kind in the amendment. It simply declares that the term of office of the members of the Legislature and of all who have been elected or appointed to office shall not be extended beyond the time for which they were elected or appointed. Is there anything wrong in this, or anything "which gives the least power to the Demo cratic party ? They will have the privilege of going to the polls, when the usual time of election arrives. That is all and nothing more. Then why does it meet with such untiring oppsition from Bullock and his negro allies in the Legislature ? Because they know that, if adobt ed, it will prevent them from extend ing their term of service beyond the time for which they were elected. They surely do not object to the pas sage of the bill with the amendment because it admits the State into the Union. They want admission into the Un ion without any restriction on them as to their term of office —and then they can extend their term, as though they were just elected. How is this to be done ? In this way : Bullock holds that the Stae has not yet been reconstucted, and when admitted in to the Union now, the regular State government will commence from the date of admission—and that being so, the term of service of all who have been elected or appointed to office under the provisional govern ment ceases to exist. 7 7 he State House officers were elected and the Supreme and Superi or Courts were confimed by a provis ional Legislature, and under the regu lar State government, new elections for State House officers must be heid, and new appointments to the judicia ry must be made. Having this pow er, as he claims it, to reorganize the judiciary, he will turn out all judges who will not sanction his stretch of power, and appoint such only as are known to be subservient to his pur poses* Then, if elections are held this fall for members of the Legislature, the present members, or the Radical por tion of them, will claim that their term will not ezpire until 187:2. The new judiciary, to be appointed with an eye single to that object, and their decision will be enforced by the mili tary power of the government. This is the programme which will be carried out to the letter, if the Bingham amendment should be de feated ; and its defeat will will pro long the terra of service of the pres ent Legislature an d of Bullock as Governor two years longer. Will we submit? Os course we will, because we have not the power and means of resistance. The case is one which would justify forcible resis tance, if it could be usei, but over awed and overpowered by the mili* tary power of the United States, we cannot* otherwise than submit. But we can denounce the outrage, and hold up its authors to scorn and con-« tempi as a set of infamous knaves and scoundrels.— Monroe Advertiser. A celebrated writer says :—“No woman can be a lady who can or would mortify another. No matter how beautiful, how refined, or how cultivated she may be, she is in real ity, coarse, and the innate vulgarity of her nature manifests itself here.— Uniformly kind, courteous and polite treatment of all persons is one mark of a true woman.’ Train yourself to some useful oc cupation. Remember it is wicked to waste time, and nothing gives such an impression of vanity and absotute silliness as a habit of idling and nev er having anything to do. Loie.—W ho is lig in youth, or in maturity, or even in old age, w j ia does not like to hear of those sensi bilities which turn curled heads around at church, and send wonder ful eye-beams across assemblies, from one to one, never missing in the thickest crowd? The keen statist reckons by tens and hundreds; the genial man is interested in every slipper that comes into the assembly. The passion, alike everywhere, creeps under the snows of Scandinavia, der the fires of the equator, and swims in ths seas of Polynesia. Love is as puissant a divinity in the Aurse Edda as Camadeva in the red vault of In <;i i, Kros in the Greek, or Cupid m in toe Latin Heaven. And what is especially true of love is that it is a state of extreme imprssionability ; the lover has more senses and finer senses chan other ; his eye and ear are tele graphs ; he reads omens on the flower, the clou'l, and face, and fo:m, and g sure, and reads them aright. In ins sui prise at the sudden and entire undertsaeding that is between him and the loved person, it occurs to him that they might somehow meet independently of time and place. How delicious the belief that he could e.ude all guards, precautions, cere* monies, means, and delays, and hold instant and sempiternal communica tion 1 In solitude, in banishment, the luq.e returned, and the experiment was eagealy tried. The supernal powers seem to take his part. What was on his lips to say is uttered bv his friend. When he went abroad he met, by wonderful casulties, the one person he sought. If in his walk he chanced to look back, bis friend was walking behind him. And it has happened that the artist has often drawn in his pictures the face of the future wife whom he has not yet seen.— Emmcrson. Thunder and Oysters. —A Balti more correspondent writes : “Thun der sours milk and kills oysters. You may load a vessel to its utmost ca pacity ; start for marken, and one good round clap of thunden will kill every oyster in the vessel, immedi ately. Pounding with an axe upon the deck of a vessel when oysters are thereon or pounding upon the sides of a vessel with a heavy weight, will kill every oyster that feels the jar. But thunder fetches them the first pop.” A doledo German, who has been keeping a saloon for the accom odation of printers, has been obliged to suspend. On his books were found the following named members of the craft. ‘Der Laim Brinter, ‘Der Bee tle Brinter,’ ‘Der Pen Putler Brinter,’ ‘Der Tivil,’ ‘Der Brinter mit der lied Ilair,’ and ‘Der Printer mit Hair not so Red.’ ‘Why don’t you wear your ring, my dear?’ said a farther, in a ball room, to his daughter.’ Because, papa, it hurts when any one squeezes my hand.’ ‘What business have you to have your hand squeezed ?’ ‘Gen tainly none ; but still you know, papa, one would like to keep it in asqueezs able order.’ The Bainbridge Sun says that the work on the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad goes on fii e» ly. By June, the whole will be fin ished to Colquitt. Payments to con tractors are promptly made, and stock holders respond liberally, so far as we can learn A dollar, once broken into soon goes, and it is the same with a reso lution. A resolution unbroken, is hard as gold ; once change it, into as many coppers, and it rapidly melts away. “Hans, where do you live?” “Acrooss de river mit der turnpikes by der school as you go up mit your right hand on der odder sid' .” “Hans your vise is dead !’’ Deviel she is, vel les all take a trink.” An orator, holding forth in favor ‘woman, dear, divine, woman,’ concludes thus : ‘Oh, my hearers de pend upon it, nothing beats a good wife.’ ‘I beg your pardon,’ replied on-e of his auditors, 4 a bad husband does.’ ‘1 don’t know what to do,’ ex claimed a perplexed hu-band, —‘My wife if denied anything is sure to have a fit.’ ‘Well, you can offset her fit with one of jour own. In such a case counter-fitting is chtirely justifiable.’ Blive says it isn’t the benzine* he drinks that makes his nose reel.— He ate some green strawberries and they ripened on him. NO. 20-
