A TOUCHING INCIDENT. •WILLIAM WIRT AND HIS SWEETHEART. ASJOBY OF DEGREDATIoN AHD REFORM. There is on b touching incident of the life of William Wirt. In his younger days he was a victim to that passion for intoxica ting drinks which seems peculiarly the bane of onr professions. Affianced to a beautiful and accomplished young woman, he had made and broken repeated pledges of amendment, and she after'patiently aud kindly enduring his digraceful habits, had at length dismissed him, deeming him in corrigible. The next meeting after his dis missal, was iu the public street of the city of Richmond. William Wirt lay diunk and asleep, on the side walk, on a hot summer day, the rays of the son pouring down on uncovered bead, and the flies crawling over |,is swollen features. As the young lady approached in her walk, her attention was attracted by the spectacle. Grange to her eyes, but alas ! so common to others who knew the victim, as to attract little remark. She did not at first recognize the sleeper, aud was about to hasten on, when ahe was led by one of those impulses which form the turning points in human lives, to scru tinize his features. What was her emo tion when she recognised in him her dis.* carded lover ! She drew forth her hand' kerchief, and carefully spread it over his face and hurried away. When Wirt came to himself, he found the handkerchief and in oue corner the initials of Lis beloved name. With a heart almost breaking with grin! and remorse, he made anew vow o reformation. He kept that vow and he ...arried the owner of that bar. . e ' c ‘"' Well might he preserve the handkeich , as he did, all his life, guarding it with the jealous care with which Othello kept the Egyptian charmer’s gift end ‘making it a i darling like his precious eye.* BAIXBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1871. Eroaa the Morning Star and Catholic Messenger. jLife. :. w .. A b%by jflajred withthe surplice sleeve Amfthe Priest bade the mystic waters flow— “In the name of the Father, of the Son And of the Holy Spirit.”—Three in One! 'Spotless as a lily's leaf ! Whiter than the Christmas snow j Not a shade of sin or grief— And the babe laughed sweet and low. A smile flirt*ed over the baby’s face— Or was it the gleam of its angel’s wing Just passing then ? and leaving a trace Os its presence, as it soaied to sing A hymn, when words and waters win To grace and life a child of sin ? Not an outward sign or token Ihat tbr- child was saved from woe— But the bunds of sin were broken. And the Babe laughed sweet and low. A cloud rose up to the Mother’s eyes— And out of the'cloud griefs rain fell fast ; Came the Baby’s smiles and the Mother’s sighfc Out of the Future, or the Past ? Ah ! gleam and gloom must ever meet, And gall must mingle with the Sweet 1 Tea ! upon her Baby’s laughter " Trickled tears—’tis always so— Mothers dread the dark Hereafter— But her Babe laughed sweet and low. And the years, like waves, broke on the shots Os the Mother’s heart, and her Baby’s life— But her lone heart drifted away before Her little boy knew an hour of strife l Drifted away on a summers eve Ere the orphaned boy knew how to grieve. Her humble grave was gently made Where roses bloomed in Summer’s glow ; [laid The wild birds sang were the hearts were And her Boy—laughed sweet and low. He floated away from his Mother’s grave, Like a fragile flower on a bright stream’s tide! Till he hear;! the moan of the mighty wave That welcomed the stream to the ocean wide ! Out from the shore and over the deep, He saild away—and he learned to weep ? Furrowed grew the face, once fair— Under storms of human woe ; Silver gray the bright, brown hair j And he wailed sad and low. And years swept on, as first they swept; Bright wavelets once—wild billows now ; Wherever he sailed —he ever wept And a clould hung o’er his brow, Over the deep into the dark, But no one knew where sank his bark. Wild roses watched the Mother’s tomb, The world still laughed—’tis ever so ; God only knew the Baby’s doom That laughed so sweet and low ! [From the Atlanta New Era, Radical] THE KU KLUX BIEJL. Now that Reconstruction is over, we hope Congress will attempt no Legislation in reference to this State that would not apply to jiaseachnsetts’as well as to Geor gia, under the Constitution of the United States. Any attempt at this late day, to revise reconstruction ; to amend the blun ders of the past or provide against the ex igencies of the future, that is not cleailj’ within the purview of the Constitution, and, therefore, applicable to a State fully enti tled to demand all the rights and privileg es of the Union, can never meet the en dorsement of the Republicans in this sec tion. And insurrection in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts that defied the local author ities, would, of course, demand the inter vention of the Federal power ; and the same is true of Georgia or South Carolina. But Congress can now claim no authority to legislate for Georgia upon the assumption that this is a ‘rebel State/ and, therefore, beyond the pale of Constitutional proiog.*— tives. She is now the equal of the loyal States ; and ary Kn-Klux bill for Georgia that would not under similar circumstances be as applicable to Massachusetts or New York, will not meet the approbation of Georgia Republicans We warn our Re publican is ..us iu Congress to keep with in Constitutional limits oh this matter. Judge Bingham’s zeal has come too late; and his efforts to press extreme measures in reference to Georgia, only serves to il lustrate the inconsistency of his whole ca reer on this Recobjtruction issue. He mast now accept reconstruction as accom plished, and recognize the Southern States as the political equals of the Northern States. No other course will be endorsed by the Republican party. No other course ought to be endorsed by any party. •You mus» have lived here a long time, said a traveling Englishman to an Oiegon pointer: ‘Yes sir, I have. Do you see that mountain ? Well when I came here that mountain was a hole in the giotind !’ The Englishman opened his halfshut eyes. A Righteous ' Decision —The Marine Court of New York has decided that a sew ing machine is not liable for debt. The ground was, first that a sewing machine is a necessary article of household Inrniture ; second that it is necessary for the support of the family, thus placing it on the same footiug with a surgeons instruments and S a carpenters tcols. if! ' ■ AN AFFECTING SCENE. The Son of General Prim Opens the Coffin of His Father. Herald Madrid Letter.] Wednesday, the Ist inst., in the after- UOOfl, an affecting; took place in the Basilica de Atoclia;. General Gaminde, Captain General of Catalonia, accompanied by the Commiasa'- Ifel General pf the Spanish army, with his aides-de-camp, as also the aides-de-camp of King Amadeus and other intimate friends of the unfortunate General Prim, went to the Church Atocha, and descended to the panthean for the purpose of paying a tribute of profound respect to the mortal remains of the illustrious General and statesman who, on terminating his work in procuring a King for the Spaniard, fell by the hands of assassins. THE SON OF THE DECEASED AT THE COFFIN. The young Duke de lou CasUllejos, Prim’s son and heir, a youth of some thriteen sum mers, was of the party and stood beside the coffin of his deceased father. The young Duke wore the uniform of the Hus sais, to which corps he belongs. The tad’s Countenance bore an aspect of calm resold tion, hardly to be expected from one so young, fco nearly related and so fondly be loved by the late General. He drew the keys of the coffin from his pocket, and with a'steady hand applied them to the locks, gently raised the lid, and after look ing for a few moments upon the face of his dead father, turned round to the Gen erals and other officers forming the party, the party. Ho spoke not a word, bnt point ed with his right hand to the coffin. As the young Duke, with upturned face, look* ed at these distinguished visitors to his dead parent’s narrow abode, his ex pression wore something like an appeal. His dark eyes flashed, his face paled, and his lips quivered. He seemed to say, ‘Behold the mutilated remains of my father—your chief, yonr friend, he with whom you tonght side by side in a hun« died engagements—is justice never to be done him ? Are his assassins never to be discovered ? Is his murder never to be avenged ?” As the gray-headed veterans gazed with sadness on the marble features of the hero of the African campaign, tears glistened in their eyes and trickled down their cheeks* Their lips compressed, and thore than one hand convulsively grasped the hilt of his sword, and seemed leady to respond to the silent though eloquent appeal of the young Duke, A long and painful silence followed; fiery passions subsided and better thoughts predominated. The stern fea tures of the veterans relaxed, and their lips moved in prayer for the repose of the soul of their comrade* the General, states man and King-maker. ADIEU. The lid of the coffin was silently closed, the bolts of the locks again turned cn their levers, and Prim’s orphan having taken possession of the keys the mournful pro cession retired. Southen Vegetables in New Yore..— On the 21th inst-, Fulton Market received from Charleston, three hundred bushels of green peas and thirty bushels of strawberries by steam from Charleston, S. C. The‘truck trade’ of the South has now begun. Every steamer if we have no cold snaps will car ry increased quantities of asparagras, green peas, new Irish potatoes and straw berries, and the traffic will continue anti 1 ' cipating in success in various vegetables and fruit crops, until Deleware commences the shipment of peaches and watermelons. A Crumb of Comfort ro Good Wives.— Many a discouraged mother foWs her tired hands at night, and feels as if she had after all, done nothing, although she had not spent an idle moment since she rose. Is it nothing that your little helpless chil dren has had some one to cckne to with all their childish griefs and joys ? Is it noth ing that yonr husband feels ‘sate’ when he is away to his business because your cares ful hand directs each and every thing at home ? Is it nothing, when his business is over, that be has the blessed refuge of home which you have that day done your best to brighten and refine f Ob, wearyfand faith ful mother, you little know your power when you say ‘I have doneno thing/ There is a book in which a fairer record than this is written over against your name- Poor Brigham— News from Salt Lake City brings the mournful intelligence that Brigham Young has lost, during the past year, twenty-five of his molhers-in-law.

It is a timely arid shows that Van Trump Bas the right idea-of wimt should be trumps in the political future t *'Be it enacted the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uuuitcd States of America, in Congress assembled, That on and after the 4th day of July 1871, there shall be in the States lately in rebellion, neither slavery nor involuntary sevitude, except for the punishment of crinto, among the white denizens of such States, common ly denominated the Caucassian race, con tradistinguished from the higher class of American citizens of African deficeut ; and that white persons, by a special act of grace and boon, shall forever hereafter have, hold, and possess all the rights, priv ileges, immunities and franchises, as the said dominant colored Ethiopian race, and to possess the same in all the late rebellious States as aforesaid. “Sec. 2. And he it further enacted, That the President of the United States be fully authorized to employ all tbe military force of the nation to carry out the provisions of this act-” The Jews. —Some one has this to say of the Jews : The politest people in the world are not the French but tbe Jews. They are mal treated aud reviled ; in many countries hey are despoiled of civil privileges and social rights, yet they are everywhere po lite, affable and insinuating. They are re markable for industry and ndulge iq few recriminations ; are faithful to old associations ; respectful to the pre> judices of others, not more worldly-minded or money-loving than people generally are, and everything considered, they surpass pther nationalities in courtesy, faffability and forbearance. Few persons excel in address a bright and polished Jew. There is no rusticity among this people. The difficulty is that they are too generally judged from the lowest classes. To judge a nation fairly, we must take tjie average intelligence and position. The highest aud the lowest are pretty mueb alike all the world over; This will be tho experi ence of every one who has been cosrao politanized by* travel, Robbert in Abbevili.b.— It' is reported that the safe of the County Treasurer of Abbeville, South Carolina, Mr. L. H. Rus sell, was robbed on Friday night, and about ten thousand dollars carried off.— Tho safe was deliberately opened and the money abstracted. The guilty party is strongly suspected. The Japanese have but one newspaper, which comes out but once a month, in the shape of a stitched pamphlet of about one hundred pages •It has been established a little more than a year. They boast also of one railway, twenty mi s es long ; but others arc in progress. Enormous Importation of Silver into Liv erpool.—On Sunday morning last there arrived in the Mersey one of the largest importations of silver that has ever taken place at Liverpool. The Guion Company’s steamer Wisconsin, Captain Williams, which arrived that day irom New York, had on board the enormous quantity of sixty-five tous and five cwt. ot silver coin principally Spanish and Mexican dollars, a large amount of which is intended for this Country, and the remainder for different parts of the continent. As soon as the Wisconsin was secured at her moormgs in dock, the work of getting the specie boxes ashore was commenced, and in a short time safely completed. Wagons were in readiness and the specie was conveyed to the London and Northwestern Railway Station, where it was placed in fourteen closed railway vans, and dispatched to London by an early train on Monday morns iag.—London Standard, March, 15, An Industrious Hen.—A month or two ago the Ottawa Free Trader contained the following account of a very busy hen : ‘Sam Parris going out to fight the world armed only with a setting heu ! She can beat that other hen that sat fonr years on a couple of billiard balls and ivory door knobs. Since the first of March she has hatched out four lots of chickens. She hatched out 11 in April, and raised 8 ; in June she turned oot 13, and raisedlO ; and in October she has got oat 13, and has 10 lively little chickens running around her at present —making in all 39 chickens raised or nearly so, and 50 hatched this season. She laid the eggs herself, fixed up her owu nest in a haymow, out of the reach of other hens and conducted the transaction to suit herself. She is evident-, ly a strong minded female of the hen per suasion. She is a business hen, and un - married .* we believe—or, all eveDts, her husband’s name is unknown.’ The southern sun. - r— * - 1 0i - Official Journal of the Slate of Georgia —-9 l , T - . - L i- , • J.

BT Mark twain. NO, 4? I was a very smart child at the ago of thirteen —an unusually Smart child. I thought at the tlmf. It was then that I did ray first newspaper scrib bling, and most unexpectedly to one, It stirred up a fine sensation in the community. It did, In deed, and I was very prowl of it, too. t was a printer’s “devil," aud a progressive and Aspiring ones. Mr uncle had me on his paper (the “Weekly Bannibal Journal,”) two dollars a year in advance— 6o") subscribers, and they paid fa eerd-wood, cabbages; and unmarketable turnips, and ou sducky summer’s day he left town to be gone a week, and asked me If I thought I could edit oue edition of tho paper judiciously. Ah, didn't (want to try ! Hinion was the editor of tho rival papeV. He had lately been jilted, and one night a friend found an open note on the poor fellow’s bed, in which he said he could no longer endure life, and had drowned himself in Bear Creek. The friend ran down there and dis covered Hinton wading back to shore 1 He had concluded he wouldn’t. The village was full of it for several days, but Hinton did not suspect It. I thought this was a flue opportunity. I w*oto an elaborately wretched account of the whole matter, and then illustrated it with villainous outs en graved on the bt.ttom of wooden typo with a jack knife—one of them a picture of Hinton wading out into the creek in his shirt, with a lantern, sound ing the depth of the water with a Walking-stick. I thought it was desperately lunny, and was dense* ly unconscious that thero was any moral obliqui ty about 6uch a publication. Being satisfied with this effort I looked about for other worlds to con quer, and it struck me that It would make good interesting matter to charge the editor of a neigh boring country paper with a piece of gratuitous rascality and “see him squirm”—l did it, putting the article into the form of a parody on the Burial of “Sir John Moore"—and a pretty udore parody it was too. Then I lampooned two prominent citizens outrageously—not because they had don® anything to deserve It, but merely because I thought it was my duty to mako the paper lively Next I gently touched up the newest stranger— the lion of the day, the gorgeous journeyman tail or from Quincy, He was a simpering coxcomb of the first water and the “loudest” dressed man In the State. He was an Inveterate woman-killer. Every week he wrote lushy ‘poetry’ for the “Jour nal” about his newest conquest. His rhymes for my week were headed “Maet in H -t,” meaning Mary in Hannibal, of course. But While setting up the piece I was suddenly riven from head to heel by what I regarded as a perfect thunderbolt of humor, and T compressed it into a snappy foot? ncte at the bottom, thus : “We will let this thing pass, just this once; but we wish Mr. J. Gordon Hun riels to understand distinctly that we have 0 character to sustain, and ftom this time forth, when he wants to commune with his friends in h—l, he must select some other medium than tbd columns of this journal I ’ The paper came out, and I never kneW ifijr lit tle thing to attract so much attention as those playful trifles of mine. For onro iho Hannibal “Journal” was in demand—a novelty it had not experienced before The whole town was stirred. Hinton dropped in with a double barreled sbot-gnii early in tbe forenoon. Whon he found ttjat it was an infant (as he called me) that had done hirti the damage, he simply pulled my ears and went away ; but he threw up his situation that night and left town for good. The tailor came with hi 4 gocse and a pair of shears; but he despised me, too, and departed for the South that night. The two lampooned citizens came witji threads of libel; and weutaway incensed at my insignificance. Tbo country editor pranced in with a war-whoop next day, sufiering for blood to drink; but he ended by forgiving me cordially and inviting me down to the drug store to wash away all animosity io a friendly bnmper of “Fahnestock's YertfiifugfS.'* It was his little joke. My uncle was Very angry when he got back— unreasonably so, I thought, considering what an impetus I had given the paper, and considering also that gratitude for his preservation ought to have been uppermost :u hisftnind, inasmuch as by his delay he had so wonderfully escaped dissection, tomahawking, libel, and ‘getting bis head shot off. But he softened when he looked at the accounts and saw that I uad actually booked the unparal leled number of thirty three new subscribers, and had the vegetables to show for it, cord-wood) cab bages, beans, and unsaleable turnips enough tq run the family for two years!—Galaxy. Slander. —Anybody can soil the reputation of any individual, bow.ver pure aad efiaste, by uttering a suspicion that hi? enemies will believe and bis friend* never hear of. A puff of the idle wind can take a million of the seeds of a thistle and do a work of mischief which the husbandman must la bor long to undo, the floating particles being too fine to be see* and too light to be stopped. Such are tbe seeds of slander, so easily sown, so difficult to be gathered np, aud so pernicious in their fruits. The slanderer knows that many a wind Will catch up the plague and became poisoned by hit insinu ations, without ever seeking the antidote. No reputation can refute a sneer, nor any human skill prevent mieebief. An Atlanta Robber Captured in Augusta. Many of our readers wilt recollect that, some three or fodryears ago, an adroit en« tered the Atlanta National Bank, in broad daylight picked op a package ot several thousand dpllars and was about making his escape through the window when b& was captured by Hon.
