THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.
BY WM. CULLEN BRYANT.
The melancholy days arc come,
The saddest of the year,
Os wailing winds, and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sear.
Heaped in the hollows of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustle to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbit’s tread.
The robin and the wrens are Down,
And from the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls he crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers,
That lately sprang and stood.
In brighter light and softer air,
A beauteous sisterhood V
Alas, they all are in their graves :
The gentle race of flowers
Are living in their lowly beds,
With the fair and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie,
But the cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth
The lovely ones again.
‘The wind-flower and the violet,
They perish’d long ago,
JVnd the briar-rose and the orchis died,
Amid the summer glow.
:But on the hill the golden rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun-flower by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood,
‘.Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven,
As fall the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
.And now, when comes the calm, mild day,
As still such days will come,
lo cail the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home;
When ttie soi&nd of drooping nuts is heard,
Though nil the trees are still;
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill.
The south-wind searches for the flowers,
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then I think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up,
And faded by her side;
In the cold moist earth we laid her,
When the forest cast the Icar,
And we wept that one so lovely,
Should have a life so brief;
Yet not unmeet it was that one,
Bike that young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.
A CLOSE RETORT.
Tho. Campbell, the British poet, a few days ago,
in the New Monthly Magazine, then under hu editor
ship, signalized himself by the perpetration of the
following pair of quartrains on “The American
Flag:”
United States! your banner bears
Two emblems: one of Fame.
Alas! the other that it wears,
Proclaims nation's shame.
Your high renown, in glorious types.
Is blazoned by your stars;
But what the meaning of the stripe* V
They mean your negroes’ scars!
George Hunt, the American poet who, in various
forms has shown himself ever ready to vindicate
the character of his country and her institutions, soon
after took occasion to reply to those verses in this
wise:
England! whence comes each glowing hue
That tints your flag of “meteor” light:
The streaming red, the deeper blue,
Crossed with the moonbeam’s pearly white.
The blood and bruise—the blue and red—
Let Asia's groaning millions speak;
The white—it tells the color fled
From starving Erin's pallid cheek.

The G. NV. P. presented the following Report,
which was referred to Bros. Grisham, Lloyd and
Butts:
As nothing of a special character has transpired
since our last meeting in July, I shall proceed at oik e
to make a general report.
PRESENT STATE OF THE ORDER.
There has been tor several years a gradual decline,
and I am sorry to say, this decline has not been en
tirely checked. There are a few Divisions doing
well, and increasing in numbers. There are some oth
ers maintaining a creditable standing, without any
special signs of prospi rity. But, too many, by far,
have only a nominal existence. My Deputies have
made no reports, and I am not able to be as explicit,
therefore, as I would like. But, so fiir as I know,
there are few troubles, and the greatest peace, har
mony, and good feeling prevail. The members of
our Order are more perfectly united in sentiment,
than ever before, and more than ever determined to
prosecute the struggle for a Temperance Reform, to
a successful determination.
DECLINE OF THE ORDER.
There has not been much decline the present year.
In times past, our Divisions have been held in a sort
of political vasalage, which is so abhorrent to the
views and feelings of American freemen, that thou
sands left us, vow ing they would never be at the ex
pense of keeping up merely moral suasion societies.
Former indiscretions induced, in the public mind,
the belief that the “Sons of Temperance” were op
posed, in their principles, to Prohibitory Legislation.
Just so far as this notion prevailed, just so far did tho
order suffer in public confidence. Intelligent men
never did believe that the evils of intemperance could
be materially lessened, without the aid of Prohibito
ry Legislation ; much less did they believe that mere
ly moral influence, either could, or would, put an
end to those evils. This anti-prohibition sentiment
which has overthrown so many of our Divisions, has !
finally overthrown itself, and is now numbered among I
the things that were. The Sons of Temperance now
stand in the front rank of the great Prohibition army; ’
| and by a little effort the}’ will soon receive large ac- j
j cessions from those who never joined any Temper
’ ance Societies in their lives.
WHAT THE ORDER HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
The Sons were the first permanent Temperance
Society, and the first, therefore, to interweave the
principles of the great Temperance Reformation, with i
the public mind, and to produce those healthful pul-j
rations in the great American heart, and those sani
tary perspirations in the body politic, which first
taught politicians to care for human woe, and now
J bid fair, ere long, to free the United -tates from the
.abominations of the Liquor Traffic. Other associa
| tions shine brightly in certain localities, but (heir j
I light is borrow ed, or reflected from the brighter orb
|of the “Sons of Temperance.” Our noble order is
embalmed in the hearts of many thousands, who have
1 been made happy, by our labors. This is no fancy
sketch. It is sober troth, and the wise will lay it to
heart.
WHY THE ORDER SHOULD BE SEPT UP.
i It cannot be that our order is to fall into neglect af-
mm, GEORGIA, SAM, NOVEMBER 10, M
ter all that it has achieved; and especially, while
• here is so much to achieve slid. Our order is tin
only Temperance Society whose organization is tru
ly national, and consequently the only one in exis
tence which can he relied on for the furtherance of
our glorious cause. The time is probably near when
the struggle for Prohibitory Legislation will be carri
cil into otir National Legislature. Imported Liquor
“in the original packages,” does great mischief in
those States which have Prohibitory laws; and there
are unmistakable indications that this subject will
soon agitate Congress itself. In such a struggle, our
organization will do much good.
WE NEED TRACTS.
There has never been much done in Georgia in the :
work of distributing Tracts. We need a Tract so
ciety for the publication of Tracts in our midst. This
would draw out our own writers, whose productions
would be read with much greater interest t an those
id equal merit from abroad, this is a subject of very
grrat importance. But 1 may not enlarge. Should
in effort be made to get up such nn enterprise, as
tin re probably will be, the approval of this Grand
Division will be of great importance to that cause.
YOUR LECTURER.
During the last quarter I have labored almost day
and night, until the present month, in which I havi 1
delivered but few discourses. Through tho entire
year, I have done the host I could under the circum
stances. I did not solicit contributions, and conse
quently have received but little. I have received
from P. G. VV. A. Rev. Joseph Grisham, $200,00, and
from all other sources about $200.00. making in all
S4OO. A Lecturer might do much more good anoth
er year, than the present, hut the difficulty will he
about support. In leaving the position your kind
ness prompted you to assign to me a year ago, I
tender to you my grateful acknowledgement for thi
honor conferred. I most devoutly pray the divim
blessing on your body, and upon (lie order general
ly. I hope to live, and to die in the fraternal bonds
of Love, Purity and Fidelity.
RUSSELL RENEAU, G. NV. P.
The G. S. made the following report, which was
referred to Bros. Lloyd, Hunnicutt and Butts :
Fonnora, 37; Ocmulgee, 40; Madison, 49; Lebanon,
90; Doyal, 106; Union, 180; Mount Carmel, 173;
Kohobutll, 204; Roxbury, 240; Howard, 283.

as follows :

The G. Treasurer presented the following report,
which was referred to Bros. Lloyd, 11-mnieutt and
Butts:
E. C. Granniss, G. Treasurer, in acet. with the G.
Division S. of TANARUS., State of Georgia.
1855 July 20, Cash Due Treasurer
as per last report, $ 0 07

1856 — Oct. 22, Cash rec’d from G. 5.,550 ou
Oct. 20, Cash still due G. Treasurer, 9 07-$59 07
And in conclusion allow me to remark that at the
present time the Treasurer of this Grand Division is
Bankrupt, as is plainly seen from the two lust re
ports, and very much embarrassed, as there are over
two hundred dollars, in debts, due by this body, and
parties wanting their just demands, and no funds or
means to pay with.
You will therefore seethe necessity of takingsomc
steps to relieve the Treasury from its embarrassed
condition.
All of which is respectfully submitted in L. P. & F.

I rying out our reform, Iras been the opposition of

lay by one whose voracity i iinqu.stiun and and who
>as all eye-witness of the fact It is more appalling
‘ him any we recollect to have ever read, in the histo

Some time last summer, the inhabitants of Mnn-
I.ester, Mississippi, gave a barbecue, which wiisnt

Crowd gathered round her instantly, ntid t„ held her
•landing the perf. et itnagd of despair, u itb hands
grasping a portion of her dress with the tenacity of
a vice. It was snnio time before she could bo ren
dered sufficiently calm to ti ll tho cause of her alarm •
and then they gathered from her broken exclama
tions Hint she was grasping tho head of a snake
among the folds of her dr.-ss, and feared to let go her
hold for tear of receiving the fatal blow. This intel
ligence caused many to shrink from her, but most of
the ladies, for their honor be it told, determined not
to leave her in her dreadful extremity.
They besought her not to relax her hold, as her
safety depended upon it, until soma one could be
found with courage enough to seize and remove the
terrible animal There were none of the ladies, how
ever, to perform the at, and the situation of Miss M.
was becoming more ami more critical every moment.
It was evident that her strength was failing fast, and
that she could not maintain her hold many minutes
longer.
A hasty consultation among (he calrrn st of the
ladies was held, when it was determined that Mr.
Tyson, who was present, should be called to their
assistance. He w-ns quickly on the spot, and bring
