Art thou Living Vet f BY J AMEN G. CLARK. Is there no grand, immortal sphere Beyond this re*ho of broken ties. To fill the wants that mock us here. And dry the tears from weeping eyes; When Winter melts in endless Spring, And June stan is ne tr with deathless flow, sj,. Where we may hear the dear ones sing Who loved in this world of ours? 1 ask. audio! my cheeks are wet. With tears for one I cannot see; O mother, art thou living yet. And dost thou still rcmeuieber rue? I feel thy kisses o’er me thrill, Thou unseen angel of my life; I hear thy hymns around me thrill An undertone to care ami strife, And tender eyes upon me shine, as from it being glorified; Till I am thine and thou art mine. And I forget that than hast died, I almost lose each vain regret Tn visions of life to he: But mother, art thy living yet, And dost thou still remember me? i The spring times bloom, the summers fade, ! The winters blow along my way, But over every light and shade Thy memory lives by night and day, It soothes to sleep my wildest pain. Like some sweet song that cannot die, And like the murmur of the main. Grows deeper when the storm is nigh, I know the brightest stars that set Return to bless the ycarntng sea. But mother, art thou living yet, Aud dost thou still remember me? Don't Crowd. Don’t crowd; this world is broad enough For you as well as me ; The doors of art are open wide— The realm of thought is free; i Os all earth’s places you are right To choose the best you can, Provided that you do not try To crowd some other man. What matter though you scarce can count Your piles of golden ore, While he can hardly strive to keep Gaunt famine from his door. Os willing hands and honest hearts Aloue should men be proud; Then give him all the room he needs And never try to crowd. Don’t crowd, proud Miss; your dainty silk Will glisteu none the less Because it comes in contact with A beggar’s tattered dress. This lovely world was ncvci made For you and me alone; A pauper has a right to tread The pathway to a throne Don’t crowd the good from out yuur hearts By fostering all that’s bad, But give to every virtue roornr— The best that may be had; Be each day’s record such au oue, That you a*ay well be proud; Give each his right—give each his room, And never try to crowd. Communicated. Mr. Editor : In a recent issue of the Ex press, a communication from ‘‘Citizen,” relative to the public School System soon to be put in operation in our State, my name appeared a3 a suitable person for Commissioner from our Town Corporation. If my fellow-citizens of Cartersville, think with ‘-Citizen,” and place me, by their suf frage, on the Board of Commissioners, I will cheerfully serve. The litttle interest hitherto taken in public instruction by all classes of our people, and especially by those who have shaped our legislation, will account, in layge measure, for our generally depressed condition as a civil commonwealth. The State, as the foster-mother of her chil dren, is unquestionably bound to educate them to the highest degree of efficiency.— If she wou!4 perpetuate herself, she can only do it through her children; and from the very genius of her being, she lives only and can live only in the intelligence and vir tue of her people. If the State breed up au ignorant horde, they will tear her very vital» out sooner or later. Let her prepare them for her service, and they will die to defend and live to honor- her. Increase the School tax, and by and by, all other taxes will be lessened. I intended to stop with, “1 will cheerfully serve, ” but writing currente calamo my pen slipped right here, before I could stop it. Theo. E. Smith. Horrors of War.— Fifty-six carriage loads of wounded Prussians, frozen to death before they could reach the hos pital, affords a terrible commentary on winter military campaigns. Are there no nations in Europe able and willing to step forward and close this sanguin ary strife, that has become an outrage on Christendom ? Are two nations to be allowed to war to each other’s ex termination in the 19th century. We hope not. Prussia should be made to propose honorable terms to France, and France should be compelled to accept them.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES., There are three Trustees in each Mi litia District and City Ward-one holds for one year, one for two years, and one for three years. After the first election one is elected for throe years. They qualify within five day’s after the ; election, by taking an oath, adminis- I tered by each other, to faithfully and impartially discharge the denies ot I their position; they fill vacancies iu ! their number, occasioned by resigua i tion or refusal to serve; have mauage j meat and controll of their local I school interest: employ teachers from ■ among persons to whom the County Commisioner issues license or certifi l cate.

We very much fear that tho people do not properly estimate tho Impor tance of the election that is to como off next Saturday. We refer to the elec tion of officers under the new Public School Law of Georgia, which is now about to be made of force. This public school system is an ex periment in this State. It is au exper iment that will cost in tho neighbor hood of one million dollars annually. Being, therefore, so expensive an exper iment, it becomes a matter of some im portance to make it a success We are an advocate of a liberal sys tem of education. We think thoro should bo means provide J in every, county in the State to enable the poor est as well as the wealthiest people, to enjoy the advantages of a practical and useful education. It is not nocossary that we attempt; to rear a community of scholars; but we can and ought to, have a public provision for a reasona ble amount of learning, to be distribiir ted even-handed among tho masses. Whether the School L vw, now about to be made of force, is precisely what was needed in this State it is now too late to discuss. The law has been en acted in due form, and is about to have a trial which will solve the question of its utility. If it is not handled by those who ought to take au interest in it, it will be by those who do take au interest, and the men who receive the highest number of votes will be elected to perform the functions of the law What we meant to urge upon our people is the selection of good men for the County Board and for Trustees. — The offices return no emgUiaent, yet they need good and intelligent men to manage them so as to contribute the contemplated benefits upon society.— We hope the people will seriously con sider the matter, as it is certainly one that ought not to be permitted to go by default.— At.
