THE BOOK. (Jiea'I at the Eighth Anniversary of the Young Men's Li brary Association, Atlanta, August 19, 1875.; BY CHABLES W. HUB NEB. Wander with me, in fancy, to the heart Of mighty hills, upon whose solemn brows The imperishable beauty of the sky Bests like a crown; whose gleamy tresses—wet With heaven’s anointing dews—for aye outfling Ineffable redolence on the fondling winds; And in whose caverned bosoms lie, inurned, Great mysteries of nature—star-born myths, Whose meaning never, to our mortal ears, Their stony lips shall utter. As we lie On the lush mosses, where wild lilies blow, Our musing eyes will catch the crystal gleam Of some fair fountain, leaping to the light From out the arms of huge, gray-bearded stones; And as it glides in many a wanton lapse, With tender kiss and amorous embrace Winning its way into the living world, You might reach down, and with an acorn’s cup Detain the tiny Naiad in her cell, And stifle her iaint music. But the bars Yield to the lovely truant; headlong down Precipitous pathways speeding, prone it falls Into the lap of the rejoicing fields;— The infant rill, which with an acorn’s cup Thou couldst have prisoned in its cradle lair, Or lightly thrust from its appointed path W r ith a stray rose-leaf, in its channel cast, Now, to a laughing rivulet swiftly grown, And dancing to its own soft rythmus, sweeps Thro’ gleaming realms of grain; thro’ hermit nooks Lit by the fairy torches of the flowers ; m Through balmy breathed woodlands, where the birds Mock the sweet fervor of its pilgrim song; By sunny villages; through dusky towns W’here whirling mill-wheels beat its quivering sides, And Steam, the giant, on its breast astride, Drinks from its throbbing lips unfailing power;— . On sweeps the flood, with ever-waxing pride, A mighty river, rushing to the sea!— And draining, thus, in bread, majestic flow The life and beauty of an hundred lands, The blitheful babbling nymphet of the hills Assumes the god-like in her seaward race! The billowy, ever-widening Splendor glow’s With the rich largess of a thousand founts, • Poured from the silver urns of arctic snows, Or by the dewy southwind’s pinion dropp’d From fragrant groves of palm. Anon ’twill greet Imperial Ocean, on his azure throne— Casting her sceptre down (a vassal Queen) At the dread Titan’s feet, into his caves She pours the harvest of her ripened power; So sharing, with his greater potency, A sovereignty that holds the wheeling globe To its divinely-fixed, predestined course, And safe through cycling spheres impels it. Thus Will human thought, slow-gathering drop by drop, As in the hills deep heart a river’s fount, Increase the form and beauty of our dreams, And fashion them for noblest purposes; In all the dim recesses of the heart The living rills of thought leap to the light; Along the shadowy vistas of the brain Fancy's far-twinkling currents endless glide, With music rarer than the May-wind charms From lily bells, to greet the waking Spring ! E’en with close-listening heart we cannot tell The purport of their being, nor conceive, As yet, the Presence whose angelic hand, .Bifting the rosy skies, with tender touch Shall take the seal from off our darkened eyes. But from serene inspirements of the air, And the glad birds—which are its singing soul; From the gray Spirit of the mountains, throned Within the magic circle of the stars, Wherein do dwell the sphynx-lipp’d Destinies; From the vast, temple-arched, primeval w’oods, Where voiceful Nature, in her vestal robes, Praises her God from many an odorous shrine; From the life-giving sun; from fern and flower Decking the crowned Year; from all fair things, Celestial promptings will inform the soul;— Aye, from the rude and mystic, knowledge comes— From storms that blind the shudd’ring Night with fire, From floods and earthquakes; from the bliss and wo Forever inter-blending, that doth make The human heart itself more wonderful, And stranger in the mystery of its powers, Than all the elements, whose fashion makes The comeliness and stature of the w’orld— From all of these the quickened soul w’ill drain, Unceasingly, her heavenly sustenance, Widening her vision’s scope, and so increase The strength, and sea-like pulsing of great thoughts; These will the rolling seasons gather up And store away in books; as drifted gold Is heaped in the abysses of the sea;— Therefore the Book is but the treasury Of man's immortal essence, where the soul May keep the crown and signet of her state Safe from the baleful ravages of Time, And coin, for gracious use, the heavenly powers, That, God-like, lift us to the eternal stars.

To come nearer home, we introduce “the witch of Charleston,” South Carolina—whom many of your readers remember as “Salvo”—as being further illustrative of this form of prophetic power. Madame Salvo was known for more than a half century as a most wonderful fortune-teller, and died recently at an advanced age in Charles ton, leaving behind her prophetic declarations which, whether they concern the individual or the country, will be long remembered by thou sands who have been under the shadow of her horoscope. There is now living in Winsboro, South Carolina, an eminent lawyer and gallant soldier, whose statement with regard to the fore cast of Madame Salvo (given not in generalities, but with incidental precision, and long before there was any indication of the events happen ing), is not less wonderful than the prophecy of “Mother Shipton.” Materialists may reason as they please, but until some other method is discovered of arriv ing at a conclusion other than that announced by Lord Bacon—until facts upon which a prem- j ise is to be based are removed or proven not to be facts—we must recognize a relation between the supernatural and the natural—between the mortal and the immortal—between man and god, and man and devils. [For The Sunny South.] Child-Beating. Solomon was a wise man. yet he did and said some foolish things. The sentence, “He that spareth the rod hatetli his son,” has in all ages been used as authority for cruel stripes inflicted upon helpless children. The more intelligent and more refined people resort to it less than the more ignorant and more savage. There is less of trouble to the average parent in the terror of the whip than in the gentler methods which sug gest themselves to better people. The right to inflict punishment, coupled with the child's knowledge of that right—from the exercise of which no appeal exists—is essential to family government; but this right, and this knowledge added to the purpose of using it in the last re sort, makes it rarely necessary when in the hands of a good man or woman. Good precept and good example are worth more than good whipping. After all, this is something the law cannot reach; to make better people is the only remedy. The statement in a newspaper a few days ago that Mr. , of , had accidentally killed bis wife while chastising his child, means more than appeared upon the face of those few ' words. There was a savage, an angry, cowardly hus band and father, a child heartlessly beaten, a mother’s interposition, and her death theresult. Yet that man, with a few lies and no witnesses of his barbarity but the children who dread the whip from which the dead mother attempted to rescue one of them, will escape. Still, it is said there is no hell. There ought to be. Abnot. 43, 37, 30, was an English novelist. My 5. 21, 8, 20. 8, 10, 2, 11,18, 45, is Georgia’s greatest statesman.
