POETRY.
TUB DIFFERENCE.
Only a few more notes
Only a finer tone;
And lo 1 the world bows down
Below the sinner’s throne.
Only the same old thoughts
Clothed witli a sweeter sound ;
And lo ! a poets brow
With laurel leaves is crowned.
Only a finer ear,
Oiily a swifter skill;
And lo ! the artist plays
On human hearts at will.
Only a tint or line.
Only a subtler grace ;
And lo 1 the world goes mad
Over a woman’s face.
Yet though so slight the cause
For which men call us great,
This shade the more or less
May fix an earthly fate.
For few may wield the power
Whose spells uplift or thrill;
The barrier fixed yet fine, will.
We may not pass at

The Echo says: “We have made tbe
Echo very popular with the ladies. Just

proprietors that is so popular: W e sur
in be the latter.
The Echo denies the assertion that the
project to build the Broad river railroad is
dead. It only sleepetli, and in a short
while will blaze forth to] tho astonished
Oglethorpcians with increased brilliancy,

Than this academy none better can be

Georgia. Meson academy is an honor to
the town, county ami state.
Under the head of improvements inji-x

of the obi brick building on the corner
next to tbe hotel lias been renovated and

Hone for suffering Woman. Something "
new under the sun.
]{ y reason of her peculiar relations, ami
her perculiar aliments, woman has been
compelled to suffer, not only her own ill*,
but those arising from the want of kuowl
edge, or of consideration on the part of
those with whom she stands connected in
the social organization. Tlm frequent and
distressing h’legulurilies peculiar toiler sex
have thus been aggravated to a degree
which 110 language can express. In the
mansions of the rich and tile hovel of the
noor alike, woman has been the ipatieiit
victim of lils unknown to man, and w 1 1 1 * ii
none but she could endme, and without a

tion has come. She need not suffer longer*

An AwtuI Responsibility.
Everybody lias something to say
about Consumption. We all deplore
its terrible ravages, but only a few of
us s em to lmve common sense enough
to take the proper means-pf preventing
it. It is 11 fact as easy of proof as that
two and t wo are four, that “Hale’s
Honey of Ilorelionnd and Tar,” taken
as a remedy for Coughs, Colds, Difficult
Breathing, Hoarseness, or any other of
the symptoms which, as it wire, pave
the wav for that terrible destroyer, will
effect a radical and rapid cure of the
ailment, and avert all danger. Who¬
ever, knowing this, neglects to resort
to tho true specific under such circum¬
stances, assumes a fearful responsibili¬
ty. Sold by druggists.

with the editor "or some supposed injury—
maybe It is only a gent e request for sub¬
scriptions past due.
Some business men, or rather in business
men, or rather in business, are laboring
under tlm same appa. ition. Why don’t
these blissful fellows know that when a
mail “cuts” his paper it causes no commo¬
tion with tin; editor V He is used to it. It
is only a proof that Ills paper is apprecia¬
ted.
Aside from that, nil editor is very like an
ordinary man. Ho eats, lie drinks, be
wea"s.elotlics (when lie can get them—
they may not be the finest, hut lie wears
them ull toe same,) be wears a hat,lie eats
vegetables, eats meat, and all “Indelica¬
