POETRY.
For the Dawson “Journal.”
THE VIOLET.
Beside a sparkling little brook,
A beautiful violet grow,
And in the crystal water looked,
To behold her purple hue.
Many a look and many a smile,
In the new found mirror she cast,
But, her color so bright for awhile,
Began to fade at last.
The perfume in the little horn,
Underneath the silken leaves,
Neglected in the early morn,
Now, no incense breathes.
When the sun's genial ray,
Would have spread it ’round the place,
The violet, then so bright and gay,
Had bent to see her face.
The odor dried within the ceil,
Soon the violet ceased to wave ;
No perfHtue lingered there to tell,
That it was a violets grave.
When ths zepilyrs came around,
To bear withered flowers away,
They ne’sr could find the ground,
Where the vain violet lay.
MORAL.
Thus, vanity will overthrow,
Sweet modesty, we fiod,
And, while cultivating outward show,
We forget, beauties of the mind.

Terrell Cos., Ga., March 10th, 1869.
[From the New York Mail.
Lemons In Business.
Mr. A. T. Stewart is conceded to
be one of our successful mercba.uts. —
From the smallest beginnings*le has
amassed a princely fortune. Np one
would ask whether Mr. Stewart’s
method of business was a wise one.—
The secret of his success lies on the
surface In his little store on Broad
way, opposite his marble palace, Mr.
Stewart began his trade. He adopted
two or three simple rules by which he
jaroposed to be guided. He gave per
sonal attention to his business. Ho
asked a lair price for his goods, and
persons could take them or leave them.
If he sold a poor article to a customer,
he sold it as a poor article. If he de
manded s. first class price forbis goods,
they were found to be first class when
the purchaser took them home. He
seldom lost a customer, because the
article never differed from the repre
sentation. Since Mr. Stewart opened
his little shop, thousands with capital
have started business with the m< tto
‘All is fair in trade.” Few of those
survive. Their very names as mer
chants have perished front among men,
while Mr. Stewart, without capital
and without friend?, underpinning hi?
trade with integrity, stands among the
foremost merchants of the world.
In this city there is a young bank
ing house which buys and sells stocks
on conimifsion. Several rules were
adopted and incorjiorated in the artie’es
of copartnership. One was, never to
carry stock for any one without a mar
gin ; another was, never to speculate
in stocks, but to do a strictly legiti
mate commission business. If that led
to wealth they would accept it; it it
led elsewhere, they would abide the
issue. A celebrated Western capital
ist, whose name was a tower of
strength, came into the office. lie re
quested the house to purchase for him
a large amount of railroad stock.
“ Do you w ish to carry it 7” said odc
of hi parlners.
‘‘Yes,” was the reply.
“Then you must put up a margin,”
“A margin!” said the millionaire;
“I am worth fifty times tlrtit •mount.’'
“I have no doubt of it,” was the re
ply ; “we have but one rule in this of
fice, lor both rich and poor. We
would not cairy stock in this office for
Mr. Astor without a margin.”
The capitalist went out as if offend
ed. The firm fell they had lost a good
customer. Soon a messenger came up
and put on depositsso,ooo The next
day the capitalist called in ) erson.—
Be said:
“Young men, I like your rule. You
have begun right. Do business on
that basis and you will succeed. You
shall have my business, for my money
is safe here.”
Words for this Boys to Remember
—Liberty is the right to do w hatever
you wish, without interfering with the
right of others.
Save your money, anrl you will find
it one of the most useful friends.
Never give trouble to your father or
mother.
Take care of your pennies and they
will grow to be dollars.
Intemperance is the cause of Dearly
all the trouble in this world ; beware
of strong drink.
The poorest boy, if he be industri
ous, honest, and saving, may reach
the highest honors in the land.
Never be cruel to a dumb animal;
remember that it has uo power to tell
how much it suffers.
H out sty is always the best policy.
The New York Commercial of a late
date remarks that the “Louisville Jour
nal has a chip on its shoulder which it
dares any one to knock off ” To this
Prentice retorts : “The editor of the
New York Commercial (Thurlow Weed)
has a block on his shouldor which ought
to be kn >cked off ” '
A certain man was married ; We lost
his wife and had a stone erected over
her grave. He married a second wife
and when she died he had the tomb
stone split and it thus served for the
two departed. He proposed to a third
and the lady quaintly remarked: “I do
not believe that atone will split again.”
A Precocious Chap.
BT P. O. MUDKLUItY.
John Smith—you’ve beard of him—
is very bashful—is too bashful, in truth.
He was bora and raised in the country.
Uis father gavo him a good education
and allows him plenty of money. But
John, with all his other attainments,
never could accustom himself to the so
ciety of females; not because he didn’t
like the girls, but because his shy na
ture would not permit him to associate
with the fair«ex It once happened,
not very long ago, either, that John’s
father had some very important busi
ness to transact in the city. He also
had some very particular affairs to at
tend to at home, which demanded his
personal attention, and, not possessing
the power of übiquity, he delegated his
son John to transact that in the oity.
John, being thus commissioned, im
mediately proceeded to the city and to
the residence of his father’s old friend,
whom he found to be a very nioe old
gentleman, with a beautiful daughter,
aud gold spectacles.
John was ushered into the parlor,
(a new thiDg to him,) and motioned to
a seat— no ! a sofa, (another new thing.)
But we must use his own language:
“I took my seat and made observations.
Everything wai fine! Fine orrpets,
fine sofas, fi e tables, fine cartains, fine
books, fine pianos, fine everything, and
especially a fine young lddy who was
dressed in fine silk, fine satin, and who
bad fine curls, and a fine appearance
generally.
After obatting with the old gentleman
a few mmutes, he took down bis hat,
told me to make myself nt home for an
hour or two, and left—left me alone
with his daughter and a small mischie
vous boy, the young lady’s brother. I
didn’t relish the situation at all. The
idea of my koeping a city belle engaged
in conversation for two hours—perdi
tion ! Silence reigned in that parlor
fora short time, you utay bet I amused
myself as much as possible with the
boy—that is, I loaned him my knife
and watch key, and watched him cut
holes iu the carpet with one and spoil
the other. I don’t know what I would
have done had it not been for that boy
—he was so good to attract one’s atten
tion, you know.
It is true that he asked some very
startling questions, occasionally, such as
this for instance : “Are you goin’ to
court sister Emily ?’’ but such things
must be expected under such circum
stances.
Miss Emily, thinking, no doubt, that
to be a good hostess, she must keep her
guest engaged in conversation, asked
me “how I liked oountry life,” cto. She
said that “it must he a beautiful sigh’
iu see the laborers, both mala and it.
male, romping ou the Dew-mown hay
oa New Year’s day; that she always
did think that she would like to spend
a Christmas in the country a nut-gath
ering with the village lads and ittsses ;
that it always bad been a mystery to
her how they got the eggs off the trees
without breaking them, elo ”
In return, I thought that to keep up
my part of the coovt rsation, it was nec
essary for me to qunto poetry and the
like, which I did Among other quota
tions, I unfortunately repeated the well
known lines of Shakespeare,
‘There is a diviuity that shapes our ends,
Rough hew them as we will.’
At. this juncture, the boy, who had
perched himself upon my knee?, looked
very earnestly into my face and said :
“Divinity shaped the end of your nose
mi’hty curu .” I’m certain that I
blushed a little ; I am very certain that
I wished somebody would spank one of
bis well, we talked of hills, moun
tains, vales, cataracts —I bi lieva I said
waterfall?, when the boy spoke up and
said : “Why sister’s got a trunk full of
them up-stairs—pap says they are made
out’en hoss hair.”
This revelation struck terror into me
and blushes in the checks of my fair
companion.
It began to be very apparent to me
that I must te very guarded in what 1
said, lest said boy might slip in his re
marks at uncalled for places ; in fact I
turned all my conversation to hm. I

The little fellow looked up and said :
“Sister’s got a dozen of ’em but she
don’t wear ’em only when she goes up

“Leave the room, you unmannerod

“leave immediately!”
“I know what you want me to leave

yon want to set in that man’s lap and
kiss him like you did Bill Simmons the
other day—you can't fool me ! I’ll jes
tell you. Crimme some candy like he

Warren Cawaty Tragedy.
Further from tu* Warms Cock
tv Tbagkdy —From a gentleman who
came to thin oity yesterday evening on
the passenger train ou the Georgia.
Railroad, we learn that the Warren
county murder was moat fearfully
avenged on last Friday night. Our
informant states soon after the murder
was committed, Dr. Darden surren
dered himself to the Sheriff, and for
his own protection asked to be impris
oned in the jail of the county. Hiz
request was granted, and he wan
lodged in prison, and allowed bi retain
his arms in ord-r that be might have,
some means of defence if an attack
waa made upon him by the- friends of
his victim. The affair, as may well be
imagined, created the greatest excite
ment in the town, and many peopln
coming iu from the country, ns soon aa
they heard the Dews, swelled the exci
ted groups, who were engaged to dis
cussing the affair. Later in tfjfo day
many began lo believe that Dr. Darden
would never appear at the bar of a
court to answer for the crime, but
would speedily come before a swift
and more terrible tribunal —that ot
Judge Lynch. Nor did tbeeo rumors
prove incorrect. On tho night of that
day, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o’clock, a large body of armed
men, estimated to be about one hun
dred m number, entered the villago,
apparently coming from the country.
Silently and in compact array they
marched to the residence of the Jailor,
and their leader demanded of that of
ficial the key of the prison. Knowing
too well what must be their object,
the Jailor had the courage to refuse
their dematid. The “Regulators” em
ployed no violence toward him to en
fore 3 their request, but turned from
his house and proceeded to the Jail—
a building remote from any other
houses. Arrived there they kindled
a tire at the door, as the easiest method
of removing this obstacle and the door
soon igniting burned until it could be
easily iorced from its hinges nod the
aveDgers rushed into the building. The
prisoner, warned by outside,
knew that bis hour had come; but he
determined to sell his life as dearly as
possible, and when the men reached
the door of his cell bade them stand
that he was armed and would
shoot Fha.first oue who entered. They
paused at this ; but the atill burning
door supplied them wiih a device,
w hich they hastened to put in practice.
Collecting a quantity of fuel they
placed it at the door of the cell, appa
rently determined to make him sur
render, either through fear ot suffoca
tion or burning. This was ignited and
a volume of smoke pouroJ into the
room eo rapidly that the inmate felt
that he c uld endure it but a little
while longer and shouted to the regu
lators his willingness to surrender if
they would remove tho flames. No
sooner had ho spoken than his request
was granted and he was told to come
forth. But now that this other death
was 6<i near at hand, revived, too, by
the fresh air, tvhich had taken the
place ol the smoke, Dr. Darden again
refused to delivar himself up.
Determined not to be baffled in their
scheme of vengeance, the fire wa*
started lor the socoDd time and th*
smoking process con iuued until, al
most suffoetted, the wretched man im
plored them to put out the fire, pledg
ing himself to surrender. According
ly the fire was extinguished and, see
ing it impossible to avert his fate, the
prisoner dropped his arms and walked
out to receive the sentence of this ter
rible court His first request wss to
be allowed to see his wife and chil
dren. This was refnsed, but they
granted him permission to write her a
note and curried him to his office, in
the village, for that purpose. Heated
iu bis office, ho wrote hurriedly a few
line* to his wile and then ewaited the
disposal of his captors From his of
fice, be was cart led some distance from
the town until thoy reached a place
near tho railroad station Here they
tied him securely to a tree and then
fired a volley at him, thirty shots of
which took effect in his person, killing
him, it is believed, almost instantly,—
And thus has ended a most shocking
murder and most fearful retribution.—
