Love la an angel, exiled from the skies, Whence by his brother angels he was driven, He having marred the calm repose of heaven With his unrest, his laughter and his sighs; Now in the human heart his home he builds, And there abides, his wings forever furled, Teaching his heavenly lore to all the world Wherefore each heart to him fond homage yields; Who does not own that his enchanting voice Makes sweeter music than the chiming spheres, . And that without his sorrows and his joys This world were but a waste ot dreary years? 0 Love, who can resist thy bleet control, Thou lord of life and sovereign of the soul! * * * No matter how becoming a woman’s gown Wt>o matter how handsome she herselßgtoy be, unless she wears a be cominghat, the most essential acces sory of dress is lacking, and her toilet is incomplete. There is no excuse for any woman’s not having a suitable hat, for this season wili show a variety of bats that will afford a round faceed, oval faced, and even the long faced lady the opportunity of looking her . very best. Women of fashion in Lon don are said to wear what is stylish, wbether.it is becoming or not, but the French women, accused of being the greatest slaves to fashion, never wear anything that is not becoming. They have the happy faculty of adapting fashion to themselves, and in this fac ulty the American women are similar.

Yewerdsy morning Capt. 8. V. San ford received a telegram from Austell announcing the death of Corporal Carl B. Perkerson, who bad been at home in that place some days with ty pohid fever. Perkereon was taken sick at Camp Norihen some weeks ago, and upon request was sent home on a furlough. His death is deeply regretted by the entire camp, as he was from one of the most prominent families in North Georgia, end had proven to be an ideal soldier. * A large detail from bis company went upto Austell last night to honor their dead hero, who will be buried to day. j The sick list now at c ;mp is rapidly decreasing, and while there are still quite a number confined at the hospit al, it is small compared to the list of two weeks ago. Wm. J. Lynn, who was shot through the bead several days ago, is recover ing very favorably, and will be out again before many days. Lynn’s re covery will be a remarkable one, as no hope was entertained for his recov ery when the accident occurred. Ev ery one who saw his wound thought he must surely die. The officers are all worried dow with one McCullum, a Scotchman, who was arrested some weeks ago tor a minor offense and who has since that time given every man in camp a good dose of his meanness. McCul lum is mean without a doubt, and has to be band cuffed and tied in his cell at the guard house. And in this con dition he has tried to murder the guards around him. Yesterday morn ing while handcuffed he attacked the corporal and but for the presence of others would have hurt the officer se riously. He is a bad fellow and all will rejoice when he is tried, convicted and out of camp. Col. Candler has had the roads run ning through the camp grounds newly worked by the prisoners serving police duty. The road leading to the hospi tal is now a very pretty one, having been recently worked by a large num ber of men under sentence of bard labor.

Boxing * Bride’s Sar. In Lithuania, a province of Russia, ft is customary that the bride'sears should be boxed before the marriage ceremony. No matter how tender hearted the moth er may be she always makes it a point of administering a hearty smack to her daughter in the presence of witnesses, and a note is made of the fact. The mother’s intention is a kind one, though the custom itself is bad. The reason for it is to protect the bride should her mar riage prove an unhappy one. In that case she will sue for a divorce, and her plea will be that she was forced into the marriage against her will, and on that score the verdict of the judge will be in her favor. Hl.
