Fallen [—Fallen I
The stateliest oak on the hill-side
Has crashed to the quivering lea,
While the echoes ot field and rill-tide
Roll down to the troubled sea;
Or arise, till the heavens awaken,
And their startled spaces afar,
Would seem by the trumpet shaken,
Which follows a bursting star—
Ah ! me—
How fallen is the crown of a giant tree,
How fallen, fallen, fa'ien I
The eagle that soared thro’ the azure,
By a god-like will possessed,
With truth as the grand emblazure
Of bis proud, puissant crest,
In his loftiest flight was hatrated
By the shadow of blasting blight,
And saw—but with eyes undaunted—
His nooutide change to night;
From the beckoning sun
To the web Death's ebon loom had spun,
Tho woven glooms of a place of toombs,
He has fallen, fallen, fallen!
Yet, what if the oak in thunder
Be hurled from his mountain hope,
To perish in darkness, under
Its sullen and savage slope?
And what if the dumb, dead eagle,
Unchallenged by gleam or gust,
No longer enthroned and regal,
Lies prone in the pulseless dust ?
Cold, cold I
In the deepening fold of tho frozen mould,
Fallen, fallen, fallen!
To tho soil of a realm enchanted,
Shall the germ of the withered tree,
Bv invisible hands transplanted,
Rc-bloom on a deathless lea;
O’er the height of the hills of Adenne,
Shall the replnmed eagle soar,
Witu tho lustre of eyes unfading,
Aud a wing that can droop no more I
Then, cease your wailing, cease I
From the flume of his torture prison,
From the woe of his hopeless blight,
From the anguish of the day and the doom
of night.
From vclture-beak, whose dart
Floated ovc his fainting heart,—
The spirit ye loved has gamed release,
Release, release ;
To the central claims, to the golden palms,
Whose shadowy glorious vuiver
Id the depths oi the sacred river,
To the chi<sm of Christ, to the perfect peace,
He has risen I risen t rissfct

A crank uamed VVestgate. alias Pat

says he fled from Dublin on the night, of

went to Holljhcad, thence to Cardiff,
and from there he went to Porte Ca-

Macon Telegraph : Yes. it is proba
ble true that the jury in the star route
cases has been tampered with by men
of "‘high moral ideas.” A jury that can
be tampered with isn’t hard to find in

it is reasonable to suppose the govern
ment and the defendants both preferred
that, sort of a jury. Veiy few people
in this couutry have any idea that
Arthur or his subordinates have ever
entertained the purpose of convicting
the defendants. They do not favor any
thing that will tend to bring the Jacobin
party into coDtempt; and they knew
that Dorsey is no "worse than the rest of

Women of ike Month.
A recent writer on the progress that
is making in tlfe South, gives credit to
the women of that section for doing a
great deal to reconstruct society for the
better, their labors consisting in dis
tributing reading matter, informing the
young of both sexes on home and social
duties under the changed conditions
that prevail. This is no more than was
to have been expected. It is the natural
reaction from what seemed to us the
bitterness of the women of the South,
but which was a demonstration of the
intensity of their convictions and their
devotion to the cause to which those
convictions attached them. The women
of the South and the women of the
North fought the battles of their
sections against each other as ardently
and as fiercely as their husbands, sons
and brothers, and while we will not say
that they helped to prolong the conflict,
it is doubtless that on each side there
was aroused a sustaining courage and
enthusiasm which could not have been
depended upon had the zeal and inter
est ot the women been less. The wo
men of Carthage gave their luxuriant
hair to make bowstrings t■) wing the
shaft of death to the hated foe. The
women of the South would have done
that, and then yielded up their heait’s
blood in addition, had the sacrifice been
demanded of them. In their singleness
of purpose they did not yield to the
stern logic of events so readily as those
who had borne arms. Their simple
faith withstood tho fact of surrender
after the formal act of capitulation had
been consummated. Had it been the
women of the north who were asked to
give up that for which their very souls
were enlisted, it would have been the
same with them. Now that the sacri
fice ha? been made, however, the women
of the South are proving as poten'
factors in peace as they were in war.
Pacification aud prosperity have come
back and the daughters of the new
South are as zealous in stimulating the
new and better forces at work as were
the daughters of the old South in feed
ing the flame of hate that drove their
champions with terrible energy into
the shock oi battle. If the women of
the South have taken hold in earnest
of the work of reorganization and regen
eration the future welfare of that sec
tion is assured. They can make it
what they will, and their will embodies
the noblest impulse of their section at
the present time.—Jiosion Post.
Snakes at A Funeral.
A few days ago a young man, whose life
had been mainly devoted to wickedness
and dissipation, died at his borne Dear
Blue Springs, James county, and his last
days were attended with such singular
circumstances we deem i* worthy of notice.
Lying prostrate on his bed of sickness he
realized that his days were fast drawing to
a Hose and that death would Boon claim
its own. so he summoned bis mother and
father to his bed-side and in bitter vindict-
ives told them he would soon die—that he
would be eternally damned, and that on
their shoulders rested the awful sin.
On the day of bis death a few hours
before the ominous shadows gathered
about his brow, the young man became a
raving maniac and was uncontrollable. He
wildly battled with imaginary faces, telling
those in the room that devils were after
him, and iD agonizing, heartrending tones
prayed that they be driven off. In this
horrible condition he died. Preparations
were made for the funeral and on the fol
lowing day.a Baptist minister was sent for
to conduct the service. A sad little party
of nionrning frieuds followed the remains
to their last resting place, and when they
at rived at the new made grave, which was
in a cluster of pines near the house, they
witnesed a most strange proceeding, which
eent terror thrilling to their hearts. A
large heap of logs lay near the grave, and
when the coffin was opened for a last view,
oat of this heap of logs emerged a large
black snake, about six feet in length fol
lowed by numerous smaller ones, all of them
uttering a hissing mournful sound. They
came to the coffin, stood erect on their
tails, and viewed the remains asd compla
cently as would human beings. The spec
tators were so astounded by this turn of
affairs that they were amazed with fear,
but after awhile regaining their presence
of mind, they drove the snakes back into
the log heap. The coffin was lowered into
the grave, and then the snake3 reappeared
and plunged in*o the grave, taking n fuge
under and around tbe coffin. No effort
was made to pet them out, so they were
covered up and buried with the young
man's remains.
This siory ^ as told os by a perfectly re-
liable gentleman, whose veracity cannot be
doubted, and we can attest that be was
perfectly sober and serious when the inci
dent was related.—Chattonooga Times.
The Ytaag Widow.
A census taker, going the rounds, stopped
at an elegant bnck dwelling-house—the
exaat locality is no busiaes of ours. He
was received by a stiff, well-dressed lady,
who could be well recognized as a widow of
some years standing. On learning the mis
sion of her visitor the lady invited him to
take a seat in the hall. Having arranged
himself into a working position, he inquir
ed for the number of persons in the family
ot the lady.
‘Eight,’ replied she. ‘including myself,
‘Very well yourage. madam.’
‘My age sir ?’ replied the lady with
piercing look. *1 conceive it’s none of your
business what my age might be. You’re
inquisitive, sir.’
‘1'helaw compels me, madam, to take
the age of every persou in the ward, it is
my duty to make tbe inquiry.’
•Well, if the law compels you to ask I
presume it compels me to answer. I am
between thirty and forty.’
‘I presume that means t’lirtv-five.’
‘No, sir; it means no such, thing—I am
only thirty three years of age.’
‘Very well madam,’ (putting down the
figures.) ‘just as you say. Now for the
ages of tbe children, commencing with
the youngest, if you please.’
^Josephine, my youngest, is ten.’
‘Josephine—pretty name—ten.’
‘Minerva was twelve last week.’
‘CleopatraElvira has just turned fiif-
teen.’
(Howsesthetic 1 Go on, madam.’
‘Angeline is eiahteen, sir, just eighteen.
‘My oldest and only married daughter"
Anna Sophia, is a little over twenty-five.’
‘Twenty fiive, did yon say?’
‘Yes, sir. Is there anything remarkable
in her being that age ?’
•Well, po, I can’t say that there is; but
is it not remarkable that you should be
her mother when you were only e : ght
years of age ?’
About that time the census taker wa3
seen running out of the house—why, we
do not know. But suffice it. to say it was
the last time he ever pressed a lady to give
her exact age.
Stopped His Paper.
Nowadays when a subscriber gets so
mad because an editor differs w’tta him on
some trivial question that be discontinues
his paper, we remind him of the late Hor
ace Greeiy the well-known editor of the
New York Tribune. Passing down News
paper row in New York city one morning
he met one of his readers, who exclaimed.
“Mr. Greeiy, Rfter the article you pub
lished ibis morning, I intend to stop your
paper.”
“Oh.no,,’ said Mr. Greeiy, “don't do
that.”
“Yes, sir, my mind is made up.—I shall
stop tbe paper-”
The angry subscriber was not to be
appeased, so they separated.—late in the
afternoon they met again, wbeu Mr. Greeiy
remarked ;
“Mr. Thompson, I am very glad you did
not carry cut your threat this morniug.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why you said you were going to stop
my paper.”
“And so I did. I Went to the office
and had tbe paper stopped.”
“You are sure* mistaken ; I have just
come from there and all the presses were
running and business was booming.”
“dir” said Thompson, very pompously,
.‘I meant I intended t# stop my subscript
ion to vonr paper.”
“Oh 1 thunder!” rejoined Greeiy; I
thought you were going to stop the run
ning of my paper and knock me out of a
living. My friend, let me tell you some
thing. Ooe man is just one drop of water
in the ocean. You didn't set the machin
ery of this world in motion, and you can’t
stop it ; and wheB you are underneath the
ground things upon the surface will wag
on the same as ever.”
Literal Answers.
Literal answers are sometimes quite wit-

“Will you kindly put my fork into a po
tato?’ asked a young lady of her table neigh
bor.
“With pleasure,” he responded; and
peircing the potato, coolly left the fork
extending from it.
Again, we hear of a very polite and
impressive gentleman wbo said to a youth
in the street.
“Boy: may I inquire where Robinsou’s
drug store is?”
“Certainly, sir.” replied the boy, very
respectfully.
“Well, sir.”said the gentleman after
waiting awhile, -where is it.
“1 have not the least idea” said the
urchin. *
There was another boy who was stop
ped by an old lady with:
"Boy, I want to go to D—street.”
“Well, tnadame, said the boy, “why
don’t you go there?”
Sometimes wit degenerates into pun
ning, as when Flora pointed pensively to
tbe heavy masses of cloud3 in the sky,
saying: %
“I wonder where those clouds are go
ing?”
“I think they arc going to thunder,” her
brother replied.
Also the following dialogue:
Holloa, there! How do you sell your
wood?
“By the cord.”
.“How long ha3 it beerr cut?’,
“Four feet.”
•‘I mean how long has it been since yon
cut it?”
“No longer than it is now.”
Couldn't Move Him.
A drummer tells a good story on one
of the legal fraternity in Rome, Ga.
Lawyers are reported to be about as
thick in that place as fiddlers are said
to be in a cetain other place, and
tbe consequence is rations are short with
some of them. One of the thinest look
ing of the fraternity went to a pbisician
sometime ago and asked *‘or a dose of
medicine that would “move” him. The
doctor gave him ordinary dose, but tbe
patient returned the next day and re
ported that the medicine had had no ef
fect. The dose was doubled, and the
next day the patient appeared making
the same report—no effect. “I’m sur
prised,’ said the M. P. ‘Perhaps yon
are not takmg exercise enough—what’s
your occupation ?’’ “I’m a lawyer 1
responeded the patient. ‘Goodness
alive 1 Why didn’t yon tell me that
before ?’ exclaimed the doctor. ‘Here’ B
half a dollar—go bay something to eat
with U.’

A Tough Case.
It was in the cabinet-maker's shop
and a party of 8‘rangers were looking
at the different labor-saving devices
One gentleman, very shortsighted, had
tarried at the bench across the room.
He was examining a circular saw that
whizzing with lightning like rapidity.
A bsorbedly interested in the place of
mechanism, his face drew nearer and
nearer to the cruel teeth tearing round
and round with remorseless energy.
At this instance his friends turn about.
They see his danger. Inevitably the
gap grows smaller and smaller. Spell
bound, they are unable to utter a
sound: They cannot endure to see
their friend torn and lacerated. Instinct
ively they shut their eyes. Then comes
the awful jar of the collision. There
is a whirling sonnd and a crash. A
shudders runs through them all. The
next instant they bear the voice of the
cabinet-marker: “Of coarse yoa will
pay for that saw, sir.“ Their friend
had escaped uninjured, but the saw was
shattered; it had struck his cheek. He
was a commercial traveler.
A Doga Tramp.
Some months ago a family by the
name of Trueblood left Greensboro,
N. C., for Iudiaua, taking with them
on the cars a dog which they thought
a great deal of. About a mouth after
arriving at their destination, they miss
ed him and the most deligent search
failed to give them any cine as to his
whereabouts. In the course of time,
however, tbe family received a letter
from friends in this county starting that
the dog was back at his old home, safe
and sonnd, but looking a little thin
after his tramp. He evidently didn t
like the climate of Indiaoa.—Greens
