Sweet the song of the thrush at dawning. When the grass lies wet with spangled liew. Sweet the sound of the brook's low whisper Mid reed and rushesVandering through; Clear and pure is (hr west wind's murmur 1 hat croons in the branches all day long; Rut the song unsung is tiio sweetest music And the dreams that die are the soul of song. The fiiirest hope is the one which fades, The brightest leal is the leaf that fell; The song that leaped from the lips of sirens Dies away in an old sea shell. Far to the bights of viewless fancy The Minis swift Might like a swallow goes; For the not as unheard is the bird's best carol, And the bed unblown is the reddest rose. Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken, That only the Heart sense, listening hears Most great joys bring a touch of silence. Greatest grief is in unshed tears. What we hear is the Meeting echo, A song dies out, but a dream lives on; the rose red tints of the rarest moruiilg Arc lingering yet ill a distant dawn. Somewhere, dim in the days to follow, And far away in the life to be, Fussing sweet, is a song of gladness. The spirit chant of the soul set free. Chords untouched are the ones we wait for, That never rise from the harp misting. We turn our steps to the years beyond us, And lietcn still for the song unsung. Finest MeGatfev.

Several members of a large working man’s club in Boston recently sent the following letter to Mr. Andrew Carne gie and other prominent iron masters. So far no reply has been received: Andrew Carnagie, Esq., and Other Iron Musters (so-called): Sir—We desire to put some questions to you on behalf of the United (Question Clubs of Massachusetts, and of other clubs ot like kind now being oiganized in other states. We are all workingmen. AVe want to know more about the tariff than we no now ; and the way in which we pro pose to learn is by putting questions. We are not all ol in capable of putting these questions in the right form, and therefore our secietaiy docs that part of the work for us. Iti this case the question are workmen who have lost their chance to work where they have been fot a long time. We were em ploye;’. in the iron amt steel works of Boston. The work has stopped. We have been discharged. Some of us owned houses; we have got to sell them for tl.e most they will bring. We on ly know how to work on; tit at we are accustomed to. AVe can’t stay here, because the work has stoppi d. Now we want fo know the reason. You have made a great fortune. AVe don’t grudge you your fortune, and we would not question your right to it if you had not made a great part of it by putting taxes on iron and steel to protect your •Work- at our expense. These taxes on iron and steel have deprived our people, who employed us, of the materials on which we woiked. There is plentv of ore, plenty of coal and plenty of iron lying right off the mouth of our harbor, which could i e floated here in barges, or the iron could he made and brought here at as little cost as the iron you get m Pittsburg. Rut you and your asso ciates tax ircyj because it is in another country, and you undertake to tell us that that tax is for our benefit. Prove it. So fat as you have gained your for tune by this tax- it does not belong to yon. AVho does it belong to ? A’ou propose to give it away. A'ott may well take “all you have and give it to tile poor” whom you deprive of their means of living in order that you may become rich. Please to justify yourse'f and to tell us how American labor is benefitted or jprotcc ed by you and your friends who own the iron mines, the rolling mills and the bla-t furnaces, putting heavy taxes on your neighbors under pretense that you can benefit them. One an swer will do for all of us. Send it to the secretary of the I'nited Question C übs, box 3292, Boston.

The general pub lic remembers the motion for the new trial, but there are many who have failed to take this into consideration, and speak of tho hanging as being a near event. The hearing of the mo tion for a new trial ha# been set by Judge Gustin for the 10« h day of Au gust. The defense will amend their or iginal motion for that day and will be prepared to arguo it.

This, the highest tribunal in the land, is now behind in its work nearly three years l T.less there was some cause for prompt action the Wool folk case would go at the heel of the docket, and in the course ( f a year or two would be heard. The counsel fur the defense have announced their inten tion to carry the case to the United States supreme court, if Georgia, refus es to set aside the recent verdict.

Mr. Lincoln had been elected presi dent under the conflict ot abolition; our people thought the union was dis solved ; they began to hold conventions of states and pass the ordinance of se cession,and feel that our country would he independent Ibis sentiment grow until all men, women, hoys and guls began to consider what part they would have to per 1 --t in in the impend ing conflict. The reduction of Ft. Sumpter follow ed and the muUerings of war was heard throughout the country. It made no difference what opinion a man had, or hoiv widely lie differed from his fellows with regard to wha. the war would he, how long : t wouid la'st, or what the re sult would he, it was the all absorbing theme. \V ho wax going, or at what age wore the hoys old enough ? School hoys telling their, mates they would have to leave school and go to the war; young men and large hoys talking to the girls in half jest, hut some serious ness, about what they would do when they returned from the war, and some times would add, “if I return.” Par ents and families consulting about which of the family should go first; all anxiously watching the- mail: to see what was transpning each day; what companies were being organized ; who were receiving orders to he ready ; who called into service etc. Public meetings were held to enlist volunteers and organize companies; whore many, and we may say all kinds of speeches, j were made by both men and women, many, who had never spo ken in public before, gave vent to their feelings, now, in most positive and elo quent strains. The ladies speeches were generally prepared and were most p*it'otic and enthusiastic; wliile the speeches of some of our citizens ■ were unique and impromptu. Some felt like they Could whip fif teen or twenty yanks. Many of them would send their sons, and if they didn’t lick em in a few days would come them selves to do it. The older men said let the young men go and ihev would take care of their children. One pa triotic citizen of an adjoining county to ours in a strain of eloquence said he had hut one sou large enough to go, ami he was O oingto send him and he wished he had a hundred more, he would send them all. That sou went early but never returned. And then we had organizing and drilling, and finally the much wished for order to go to the front and I doubt if there has ever been a more exciting or interesting time than at the depart ure of the first companies of the coun try to the confederate war. Sonn’ were helping soldiers off to the war and bidding good bye; some distrusted about their return; some instructing the soldiers to bring them something from the war ; some frolicing ; some jesting ; sober onos seriously considering the re sults of the war ; crowds on street cor ners, crossings, stations, and every where cheering, waiving handkerchiefs and making all sorts of demonstrations. Ihe soldiers returned the compliment with all sorts of hurrahs.

'1 his ii a grand idea—on .paper; but before it is put in - to operation, or before it has gone too far in that direction the people should consider well and speak out in unmis takable language so that their represen tatives may know how to act. * \\ keu lio penned the foehle prole,t the writer trembled ; for, so far as lie knew, it was the first opposing voice that hud been laised. Siuce then, how ever, several ».pet« and numerous cor respondents have come out “flat-foot ed” in opposition. The most promi nent and significant opposition is that of Prof. Willett ill <ho last Christian Index. Every tax paver should read his article. No attempt will he made to argue the (juestion, but, to put the people to thinking, a few pointers are hereby submitted, and the hope express ed, that more competent debaters than the writer, may take up and examine the subject it needed, if there be any lim it to it. 1. Do wo need so much college edu cation ? l)o wo need so many colleg eges to graduate the number who may bo able to roach that point ? 2. To o|>erate such a system will re quire a mint of money—no telling how much. They say it will require hut lit tlo more than the rental of the state road, granting that the road will lease for 3.1,00') dollars per month. Arc we able to be taxed for such an experi ment? Tin's. .Jefferson tried it years ago and failed to materialize. 3. Isn’t it starting at the top of the pole and starring the fodder down wards ? I I.t Iwe not better perfect the present school system ; had we not bet ter appropriate all the money we o.uu raise i* our cemmow schools so that the masses can dotive the benefit rather th hi provide for ths fortunate few who may reach college '! Had we not bet ter put money enough in Tom Scott’s hands to enable him to establish one or two good grammar schools iu each dis trict—go into the markets witli money in hand mid ernplsy the vorv best teach ers at gooil salaries? -I. What will yo« do with Oxford. Mercer and the other denominational college*—they that have done most for Georgia. 5. What will you do witli the ne gro ? Tlieie are other points that might bo mentioned, hut these are enough to make the people think. Tax payers, wake up? Felton is anxious to re-es tablish himself and to make fame. Hoggs is a new man and ambitious to make his impress upon Georgia's fu ture. If his plan is practicable to sus tain him—if visionary, stop him. Peo ple of Monroe, oue of your representa tives is an acknowledged leader in the lower house of your genet al assembly, and an intimate friend of Felton’s They generally march shoulder to shoulder and vote alike. Before he votes to fasten a costly and may he useless system upon us let him give us his reasons. If lie objects, let him enlighten us. We ought to study this matter. It may be the Tro jan horse—Felton the Simoon and Troy without a Laocoon. The other and laughable subject is this : some fellow from Wilkes county, perhaps —will introduce a hill for pro hibiting the sale of cotton seed from August Ist to December 2oth, so says the Constitution. Why not prohibit the sale of cotton, of corn, of meat, of peaches, of butter, of qjiiekens ? True, it is suicidal in a farmer to sell his seed; * hut is it criminal for him to sell his produce ? True, we submitted to the enactment of a law equally absurd— the sale of seed cotton, hut this was done to protect the farmer against the thievish negroes. Had there been no negroes here such a law would have never been dreamed of. Hut the idea of prohibiting a farmer from selling cot ton seed! Jerusalem! Whither arc we tending? Well, the truth of it is, the farmer has suffered himself pitied and abused so much and so long that the world deems him an ass, and he himself is about convinced of if. He asks for a guardian and the world is about to ap point one. 'l his Wilkes county man may he appointed. Let us wait and see!— /let in Monroe Advertiser. Savku. —A line family of childreu were all afflicted with scrofula. Two died early; the rest would have sooi; followed, hut for the timely and perse vering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilia, which built them up into a healthy and vigorous manhood. Gi s A. Dubois, a well known resi dedt of St. Louis, says : “I have used several bottles of Prickly Ash Bitters for billiousness and malarial troubles, so prevalent in this climate, and hear tily recommend it to all afflicted in a like manner. It is the best remedy I ever used.” Cold, cough,coffin is what philosophers term “a logical sequence.” One i 9 very liable to follow the other; but by curing the cold with a dose of Ayer’s Cherry Tectorial, the cough will be stopped and the coffin not needed—just at present. No liniment is >u better repute or more widely known than Dr. J. 11. McLean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment. It is a wonderful remedy. NO 1 2
