On* day a harsh word, rash y said,
Upon an evil journey stxrd,
And, like a sharp and cruel dart,
It pierced a fond and lovinf heart .
It turned a friend into a foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A F’e* kind word fo’fowed blamed in one day,

And frienda of o d were frieuds again,

THE SWORD OF HARRY LEE.
Personal rad Political Ballads," • rar*
wort of the «*r era, in poawaion of Charles St.
Clair, M Park row, New York.]
An ajjixl man, all bowed and worn,
.Sat by hi. hearthstone old;
Beside him sat, with
reverent mien,
A youth all proud
and bold.
Tie listens with rapt
eagerness
To the old man's
every word;
One aged hand rests
on bis head,
Tbe other grasps a
sword.
“My boy," the gray
haired patriot
- v* said,
/ “A precious legacy
1 give Into your keeping now -
Tbe sword of Harry Lee!
Ah, bow we loved that noble chief—
A hero grand waa he;
No craven thought eVr filled the heart
Of Light Horse Harry Lea.
Or,» day-it aU comes back again,
Though I am old and gray—
The battle had raged long and fierce.
For we would not give way. *
Our chieftain at the legion’s head
Rode on exultingly,
When a red coat vile his saber raised
To murder Harry Lee.
1 dashed before the hero bold.
Right in the deadly strife;
I dove the Hessian to tbe earth
And saved brave Harry's life.
That night he grasped my wearied hand.
The Hush was on his cheek,
The tears stood in his manly eyes,
His voice was hoarse and weak.
He gave me his own trusty sword.
That oft had led the free;
He told me I must wear it for
The sake of Harry Lee.
Ah. boy! that was a happy night.
I'or proud he well might be
Who e’er deserved such heartfelt praise
From Light Horse Harry Lee.
1 wore this blade ail through the war,
And when the storm was o'er,
I kept it bright and free from rust
As in the days of yore.
But when the British came again.
To threat us with their might;
I buckled on the good old sword
And wore it through the fight.
c 4 r
i
m.
And when the soft, sweet, southern breeze,
From tropic regions far.
Came laden with the clash of arms
And thrilling notes of war,
Ltook the old sword from its place.
With tears of honest pride.
And buckled it right gladly by
Your gallant father’s side.
He bore it manfully and well
In regions far away;
It flashed e'er Palo Alto's plains
And sunny Monterey.
It never was laid down in shame—
God grant I ne'er may see,
Ojt> base blot on the shining blade
Of Light Horse Harry Lee.
Nov, - , boy, I draw this sword again-
Alas. that it must be.
That I must count as foes tbe son
Of those who fought with mo.
My limbs are old and feeble now
And silvered is my hair;
I cannot wield this sword, and so
I give it to your care.
Today I saw your noble chief
And. ah, I seemed to see.
Erect again before me stand
The form of Harry Lee,
That same bright eye, that uobie fmi...
That bearing light and free:
Ah, yes, he's like bis noble sir - .
This son of Harry Lee.
Now go and do your duty, boy.
Y’ou bear no coward’s name:
And as you dread your graadsire' curs.-.
Ne'er sully it with shame
Aud 1, as long sis life remain
Within this bosom free.
Will ask God's blessing on y, • •
Tbe son of Harry Lee.

it seems, wishing to cross the straits dry-

into its place again, which it did with
such momentum as to go on osciilating

fir j ton Convention.
At). , ;n Journal.
On k i Su day Clayton county
passed i oh. :ons demanding the
repeal of ho internal revoDtia la\T9.
The rea! issue no if in Georgia is,
do the people of the slate prefer a
redaction of the taxes on the neces
ashes of life, or a repeal of the leve
nuelaws? It is conceded by all, *ho
understand the frets, that both will
not take pla.e Therefore, which
•hall come fir " ductiou of the
taxes ou the l. w. . ies of life, or on
whisky and tobaccof
; The action of Clayton county puts
that county in line with the protec
UOBEtta of Pennsylvania, and against
lEierestaof the nfasses of the peo
p|*©f Georgia. Wo do not mean
j that this act ; eally represents the
voice of Cl •> county, but it is
the voice of v, ~ . we understand to
have been a legally constituted con
vention, and is conclusive upon tbe
county. There were very few prea
ent; there was no fight anticipated,
rad tbe men who favored taking tbe
tax off of whisky and tobacco captor
ed the county.
It is a most significant fact that
the newspapers opposed to tbe re
duction of the taxes on the necessa
ries of hte, have failed to notice tbe
action of Clayton county.
Is it possible that a still hunt is
being prepared by which counties in
Georgia are to be captured before
the masses of the people understand
tbe plan of tbe campaign?
The result id Clayton county
should be a warning to the people of
the state. Our people can afford
to quit business for a single day.
They can afford to leave their crops
for a few hours to protect themselves
against onerous taxes that have
been lasting for many years.
We urge tbe press and the people
of Georgia to call attention to what
happened in Clayton county: to
wake up the voters, lest their coun
ties should be captured by the pro
tectionists simply on account of tbe
failure of the voters to attend the
county convention.
Years Teach More Thau Books.
Among other valuably lessons impart
ed by this tb a teacher is the fact that
tor a*vers long time Dr. Pierce’s ‘ Gold

prince of liver corrective and physcian blood puri of
tiers, being the household
the poor man, and the able consulting
puysician to tbe rich patimt, and prius
ed by all for i:s maguifioeut service and
efficacy in all diseases of chronic nature,
as material poisoning, ailments oi the
respiratory and digest.ve systems, liver of
disease and in all cases where the use
an alterative remedy is indicated.

A bill has been introduced iu the j
Seuate to provide for erection of
public buildings for post* flices in j
towns :in l cities whete poetoffice ie j
ceipls for three years preceding
nave exceeded $3,000 annually.
Mr Veal, who reported it, said he
would ask its early consideration, as
it was an important bill and waa rec

On interviewing the important
government official, Postmaster Bow
doin, he gave the bill his hearty en
dorsement. Tbe business of tbe
Griffin office amounts to about
$5,000 a year, and a handsome govern

A hotel might be built by the goiern

We hope the bill will pass
