GEORGIANS AT MANASSAS.
BY L. VIRGINIA FRENCH.
[The memorable ‘ charge’’ of the
English chivalry at the “awful pass
of Balak-lava*’ is of world-wide fame,
Of the “noble six-hundred,’* two
hundred we are told, rode
“Back frjm the jaws of Death,
B * ckrrora the -«**•• or Hell.-
but the 8th Georgia” which went into
the . fight „ , . at Manassas ,, about . .. him-
six
dred strong, had but a remnant
sixty men drawn up, when, after the
battle and victory, their officers
reviewed the field. Well might the
heroic Beauregard bend low as he
passed them—saying with emotion,
“I salute the 8th Georgia, with my
hat off.” J
Proud Virginia! stern, nndauuted,
Triumphing 'mid blood and toil,
Though the invader’s foot is planted
Tiger-like upon thy soil;
Steadfast tho’ his eyes despotic
On thy beauties fiercely gloat—
Tho’ he ruin filings, chaotic,
And Lis fangs are at thy throat!
Where are they—thy brave defenders
Crowned with might and martial splendors,
They whom late ye hailed’with chorals,
Who roses left to gather laurels?
Gallant Georgians! sweeping onward
With their banners streaming sunward
Eyes of light, flud souls all glowing.
Hearts with tropic life o’erflowing.
Live the loyal, lion-hearted,
Live they 'mid Virgiuia’s braves?
Or arc they with the brave departed
Lying in Virginia’s graves?
Ask yon pine grove—like a fortress
Stately standing—’neath its shade
Guard.ng rocks, each Freedom's fortress.
Fought and fell that bold brigade.
Ask yon life-tide —poured like water
From a cruel, crimson sea—
War’s ensanguined waves of slaughter
With their furious minstrelsy!
Turbid tide, whose gory masses
Drenched in blood the glistening grasses,
Drowned in smoke the mountain passes
Of this drear and dread Manassas..
liert, with proud Virginia’s braves
Your noble Georgians found their graves!
Swarming hordes—Vaudalic legions, .
Dense and deadly thronged the ground.
Wasting all those richest regions
Sowing shame and wqo— dread sound!
Tracking every field and flood.
Hounded on to deeds of blood—
Here at last their legions stood
Down upon the Southern Crescent
Flowing they, seemed omnipresent,
While the cannon’s roar incessant
Shook the mountain giants round.
Roared all day that brazen thunder
Scything solid ranks asunder,
While the yells that rose from under
Clouds of smoky, sulphurous waves,
Boasted that our Southern braves.
Soon should sleep in coward’s graves.
Georgians! foremost iu the foray
Yottrs a daring, deathless name
Long to be renowned iu story
As the best beloved oi Fame!
Here, ye opened wide her portal,
Radiant Glory’s golden gate,
Here, beneath that arch immortal
Made the road to honor straight.
Here they came in the pine gro v e arches
Blazing in their noon of pride—
Hence their remnant backward marches
With blood’s baptism glorified!
Springing to their deadly labor
Like a flashing.unsheathed sabre,
Here they formed in stately columns
Sending forth destructive volumes,
And, amid the roar and rattle
Boldly bore the brunt of battle,
Never grander, never braver,
Rode to deatfi at Balaklava,
Than those heroes—Georgia’s braves
Winning thus immortal graves?
How the tall pines reel ami slave?
Bending to the iron hail,
As the death-bolts through them quiver,
But the men? they never quail,
Would that iu some burning ballad 1
We could paint the looks they wore:
Cheeks at white heat, fierce and pallid,
Eyes like living, molten ore!
Firm, unflinching in that hour
Standing to the iron si ower—
Back upon the murderous engines
Pouring stem, unstifDd vengeance,
Thickly from th*h* serried ranks. (

JUST THE GIRL. !
!
His name was Augustus Smythe ;
ne was a clerk in a dry goods store,
and didnt earn enough to starve on, i
but with that sublime assurance »m.ewuicu which
distinguishes the lah-de-lah i, j*oung
man of the day, he paying attention

^ reat ^i®cultyth»t what was
not enough for one was not enough
for two, and forthwith he concluded
to pop. He knew that his persistent
sits had kept all other young
nvf&y so he had no fear of a rival,
When the time came and he
himself in the company of his Laura
in her papa’s comfortable parlor, he
(on leisurely seated himself by her side
the sofa, took her dimpled liittle
hand, used only to tinA'le a piano
with and said in a bronge voice :
“Dear Miss Laura, I have conclu-
ded to marry.
! Laura started* as he intended she
should Then he continued grandil-
°
oquently :
“I want a dear little girl about
your size, with a great big heart
like yours, to share my lot.

“No, dearest, but what are

“One who would rather live
me in poverty than dwell with

‘Oh, how .beautiful?’ .murmured
Laura. “Justice a dear,

‘Do you know of such a one, my
angel?’
I do, „
cs, responded Laura,
vently, “but j*ok l^usfc not call me
your angel, for she might not like it:
she is in the kitchen now washing the
dishes, and she told mother this mor-
ning that she’d just as leave get mar¬
ried this winter as live out,' if she
only felt able to support a husband.
She’s just the girl you want, and will
love you in an inch of your life.’
But Augustus Smythe had fled into
the outer darkness ; the too muchness
of the occasion overcame hiih like a
summer cloud ,—Free Press.
SMITH WAN7T.D WIIAT HE
ORDERED.
Some years ago an Austin
whom we will call Smith—because
that was and is the name painted on
the sign-board, sent an order for
goods to a New York firm. He kept
a very extensive general store, had
plenty of money, kept all his accounts
in a pocAet memorandum book, and
didn’t know the difference between
double entry book keeping and the
science of hydrostatics,
Hmong other things he ordered
was
12 gooss assorted clothes pins,
12 grindstones,
When he ordered the grindstones,
he meant to order an assortment of
12 grindstones. The shipping clerk
of the New York firm was astonished
when he read the order. He went to
the manager and said :
‘For Heaven’s sa lie ! what do they
want with twelve gross, 1.723 grind -
in Texas?’ The manager said
must be a mistake, and telegraphed
‘Wasn’t it a mistake ordering so
many grindstones?’
Old man Smith prided himself on
never making a mistake. He had no
copy of his order to refer to, and, if
he had, he would not have referred
to it because he knew he had only
twelve grindstones. So he
wrete: .
‘Probably you think you know ray
business better than I do. I always
order what I want and want what I
order. Send on the grindstones.’
The New Y'ork firm knew Smith
was a little eccentric, but that he al-
wavs ' * paid cash on receipt 1 of invoice, '
and W&S able to buy a dozen quarries .
full of grindstones if he cared to in-
dulge in such luxuries, so they filled
his order as written, and chartered
a schooner, filled her full of
o-rind^tones rinastones, and ana cleared c.earea ner her tor for
Galveston. They wrote to 8mith,
and said that they hoped the consign
meat of grindstones by schooner
would answer until they could charter
another vesse.-Smith sold
stones at wholesale, and at low figures
on long time for some three
afterward. Now, when Smith’s
wicked rivals in business want
oerpetrst* prac tic
innocent hardware drummer, they
him that he had better not neglect
call on Smith, as they just heard the
old man say he wanted to order some
more grindstones. When the
drummer calls on Smith and op*'

countenance, says, ‘Mr. *Smith, I
understand you are nefeefilfg sonfe
j grindstones,’ there is a painful
tableau that the reader can better
imagine than we can describe.
