To him, or them, the man or madam.
Who wrote the lines on Eve and Adam,
Aud placed them in the Dawson Journal,
Ilis name and fame should be eternal.
'Could all the sages and divines,
Who flourished in the olden limes,
Beho'd that stamp of wisdom’s breath,
O, how they would regret thoi- death.
Surely the good who lives in song,
And had a place in wisdom’a throng,
Are sad aud weeping now, perchance,
At their own insignificance.
The name of Washlrtgtofi fo?got,
Clay, Calhoun, Webster now a blot,
Allassus, Grant is but a name,
Compared to this rare chill of fame.

Swallowed in the surging sea ol Shutarch and

Adam says he’s sorry now ,he ever told a lie,
Or got to fooling with the bee that caused all

Also, sorry, sorry, he ever saw old Ere,
Or any of her apples that caused a world of

Shakespeare says he’s sorry he ever wrote a

And Byron, and the poets that they figured

Franklin says he’d never have brought the

Had he have known tliat Shutarch would come

As now compared to Shutarch, he seems as

Aaron, also, rues the day he ever made a calf
Unless the mighty Shutarch will bleat in his

Noah says, woe is me I ever built a boat,
For the mighty Shutarch, or his fiieudto

Since the nrglity Shutarch so greater things

Jonah says the Bible’s wrong about the old

For Shutarch bad the honor of swallowing

Gabriel was expecting to make tlie last loud

But now be hears of Shutarch, be knows it is

Although lie much regrets it, ail sadly and

McCay and Brown says all are fools, and they

If Gabriel is a Rad, the man was ucver born,
That now could supercede him or take away

Tin- Cost of our Civil War.
The Chronicle in Monday’s issue,
says:
“Tbe civil war cost the Federal Gov
ernmetit $5,000,000,000, and the States,
cities, and counties of the North half as
much more in bounties and gifts, and
the other half iu loss of productive la
bor.’ 1
Which may be [tit in tabular form
thus :
Cost to the Federal Govern
ment.... ....... .. ....$5,000,000,000
Cost to the Spates, cities, and
counties of the North 2,500,000,000
Cost in the loss of productive
labor 2,600,000,000
Coat of the war to the Federal
Government and the North. .$10,000,000,000
This is the estimate ol the Chronicle,
makiDg tbe cost of the war the enor
mous sum of ten billiom Put this is
not the total cost to tho couutry. It is
only the cost to the Federal Government
and the North What the Sontbern
States, as a part of the country, lost, is
not put down. Add this to the tea fcil*
lions, and wbat sum have we ? Ooe so
stupendous, we should think, as to sug
gest to the Radical party to put some
sort of a bridle upon tbeir profligacy
and rttinoUs extravagance, and to have
some sort of mercy Upon a people who
have suffered and lost so much—Ntl

Tlie Si 11111)1 of a Fij>e.
Wn were making !licupward (rip from
Memphis. A mo'ley crowd, such as i<
usually found on a Mississippi steam
boat, thronged tho saloon, but a party
of us, indies and gentlemen, bad with
drawn to ono sido. We were baring
quite an animated discussion ou tbe use
aud abuso of that universally esteemed
narootic, tobacco, brought on, no doubt,
by the fumes of an old clay pipo, held
tigh ly between tbe teeth of a rough,
weather-beaten man, sitting at no great
distance from ns.
Though our words were not intonded
for his ears, many of them, no doubt,
reached bitrf; for who ever hoard a dis
cussion carried on in very low tones 1
He apparently paid no attention to us,
however, until Miss Carr, a beautiful
brunette from Southern Georgia, gave
her opinion.
“For my part, I do not like the stuff,”
said she, in a clear, mtlsioal voice, at the
same time casting an arch glance at the
unconcerned knight of the clay pipe;
“but there are many things that I do
like, and I should feel very angry if any
one presumed to take them away. So
I say. if one enjoys a good smoke, let
him enjoy it; aud if you, or you, or you,
do not like tbe particular kind of pipe
that one uses, move out of the way of
it, or—buy another.”
"That’s so, every time !” said the
smoker, tising and coming toward us.
"B:g your pardon, all of ye, but I’ve
heard everything ye said, and if ye've
no objections, I’ll tell yo what makes
me think so much of aD old clay pipe.—
And I’m oblcoged to ye, martn,” turn
ing to Miss Carr. “Tbeui’s my senti
ments every time.
“You see, I'm an out and put back
woodsman, hunter, trapper, and guide,
born in Tennessee, edicatcd in Indiana,
and went into business from the Missou
ri to the mountains, amfthere I’ve flour
ished ever since.
“i was way out in the mountains. I
had just toOii a train through, and was
on my way back with two other chaps
•old trappers like myself. Somehow 1
took siek, and we were obliged to camp
for a week, to give me a chance to pick
up agio. It. was real purty weather,
and I enjoyed myself rollin’ around on
he grass, while Jack aud Joe were
sccu’iu’ round for game. But I did
feel a leetle anxious ta be goin’.
‘ One day I was layin’ down under a
tree, and I got sleepy. Ail at once I
thought I heard something moving,
through tho brush. I raised my
bead and looked all round, but 1
couldn’t see nothing, the bushes were
so thick. Thinks Ito myself:
“ ‘YVrc dreaming, old boy. Better
take a smoke, and git waked up !’
“So 1 drawed the old stump. It was
jest like this, only f>ur or five sizes big
ger—a rrg’lar old settler, and black as
yer hat, sir. I’d smoked a sight, and
got- kinder ’taehed to it. Well, 1 filled
it—Joe used to say jt took a quarter of
a pound to fill it handsomely—and theD
went to the fire to light it. When I
got onto my feet agin I heard a noise,
and I was sure of it then. I turned
purty quick, and there was a good-sized
grizzly, jest ready to tnako for me
Now, yo see, they oin’t no pleasanl
chaps to rur. afoul of, even when ye
have your ehootln’ irons with ye; and
I tell ye, I fit as though 1M rsylher
bo excused. My rifle was in the wag
on, qnd the ciitter was between me
and it. I couldn’t no more have got
there than I could havo jumped ovet
the moon ; so as he was coming purty
lively I thought I’d tree.
“Ttie trees wasn't much—scraggy
little oaks and elms; but they were
enough sight better than none—so 1
sprung lor a limb jest wflhin reach,
ahd commenced to swing up
• Old grizzly knowed in a minute
what I was up to, afid afore 1 could
get out his reach, he raised and grab
bed me. He got his paws round my
legs, and one of my ole* boots into his
mouth, and there he stood, and there
1 hung. He didn’t pull vury hard,
but I was kinder weak, and couldn t
have hung onto the limb an awful
while if there hadn’t been no bear at
the lower end of ino I knowed if ev
er I dropped it would be iny everlast
ing drop, so I sot my wits to work to
scare up some plan to make grizzly
let go.
“The old pipe was ntween tny teeth j
yet, and I was smoking away right j
smart, and thinkio’. 1 looked down]
and seen a corner of his mouth that
my boot didn't fill. Don t laugh, stran
guiv ’Twasn’t because tho bool was
small, but tbe b’ar respected the size
of it, and ouly took hold of tho heel.
Well, as 1 said before, there was a lit
tie corner open, and l thought I’d jest
drop the old pipe into K, tobaoey, ash
es, tire, and smoke, and see bow bb and
like it. It was a leelle reeky, for, you
sec, I should have to hang by one
hand; but something had to be did, so
1 loosened my right band and got th«
pipe.
“I never shot a rifle ball truer than
I sent that old pipe, plump right into
old grizzly’s mouth, and when I seen
that it was in, I kinder give a kick
with my old boot, and kept it from fall
ing out again.
j “I tell ye, straDgers, b’nrs don’t like
tobacey much better ban you do,
especially when it’s mixed with ashes,
■ and fire, and an old clay pipe. Soon
as he ever got a taste of it, and ’twasu’l
long, be let go of me and commenced
playing about ou the grass, spittim*
an! chewing and snorting, to beat the
old scratch, while I naturally climbed
up into the tree and watched him
smoke.
j "I enjoyed it more than he did, for
ye sec it was anew thing to him. He
’ rolled and tumbled about beautifully,
for I expect tho fire burnt his * throat,
and the tobacey didn’t help it any
*At last he got into the camp-fire, and
that ended tho performance.
“He started oft through the brush,
tumbling along quite funny, and I
watched him, or, rayther, I watched
the bushes as long as I could see ’em
move. Then I climb down, and went
to gettin’ supper for the boys, feelin’
purty w«ll tickled with the way I’d
escaped.
* I felt sorry ferona thing though,
aDd that was because the varmint had
chewed my pipe all to bits. I found
some of the pieces, and I’ve got ’em
yet. I might jest as well have saved
tho old pipe, if I’d only thought, for,
you see, the tobacey and the fire
would have done him jest as well
“Good-nmniin*, strangers. I guess
I'll take another smoke.”
And away he went, elbowing his
way through the crowd.
This ended our discussion, and
hulf an hour later every gentleman of
the parly was watching the blue
wreaths of smoke from tho fragrant ci
gar which ho loved so well, and won
dering if he had not been quizzed just
a “leetlo” by this trnppi g back
woodsman. Who can te'l ?

RKMAKKS OP JUDO* WORRILL.
Judgo YVorrill, with muoh feeling
addressed the membcis of tbe Bar a*
follows:
Gentlemen :—You can very well un
derstand, gentlemen, that my emotions
upon thia occasions are so deep aud
hi'**tf*U that the simple langwagw
at my command would be totally inad
equate to the expression of my feelings.
The evidenocs of public confidence
which I have so often received at the
hands of the people, have ever given
me the sincerost satisfaction; not for
the office which they have so often be*
stowed upon me, but becaanse I havo
regarded each re-election as a renewed
approbation of my judicial course—and
this feeling it, if possible, intensified by
this manifestation of your confidence,
at a time wher I have no longer the
power to B'Tve you. It gives me the as*
surance that the feeliogs of kindne s, I
may say affection, which I feel to the
Bar of the Chattahoochee Circuit, is re
ciprocated by them, and that I may car
ry into my retirement the recollections
of thoir courtesy and friendship exhibi
ted to mo throughout my judicial ca
reer, and culminating in those partial
and flatteiing resolutions. •
My yearß on earth are nearly run, but
as tbe shadows of death approach my
path, the bright recil'ections of this
cheiishod hoar will be the !a*t that will
inger on my fading memory.
I do not know that I have ever had
an unkind fueling to a single member
of the Bar; but if porcbaoco I have at
any titno been misunderstood, allow me
to say upon this occasion, that I feel
that from you I have no wrongs to for»
give, and towards you I havo no feeling,
but such as springs from affection,
friendship, and a grateful rccolcotion of
your uniform kindness and courtesy.
A Female Preacher--
Tbe latest s’cp in the woman move
ment, iu New York, was the appear
ance of tho “Rjv. Mis Van Cott,” in
a metropolitan pulpit, last Sunday.—
The “Rev. Mrs. Van Cott,” or “Wid
ow Van Cott,” as ebe is best known,
was licensed about a year ago to preach
and exhort in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and since that time she has
been preaching at different points tlongL
the Iludsjn Last Sunday she madh
her first' appearance in New York.
Mrs. Van G-itt is and -scribed as a pass
ably good looking woman, of about
twenty-six, Her style of preaching i»
n irid and dramatic, and when warmed
with her subject she becomes excited
and somewhat reckless in gesticulation.
Her voice is strong and well modulated;
she dresses neatly in black ; and with
what a reporter calls ‘‘frizzled hair and
rosy cheeks," she present* a rather
agreoable appearance in the- pulpit.——
Her debut in New York, was successful,
aud doubtless the “widow Van Cot-t"
will bo for sometime one of the princi -
pal Church attractions of the day.—-
