Among the rising mo a of tho Gen eral Assembly of Georgia is tho gen tleman whoso name heads this arti cle, and who is a Representative in the House from the county of Terrell. Mr. Harper was born in tho county of Newton, in tho year 1833, and is consequently a young man. lie is about five feet seven inches in height; one hundred and seventy-five pounds ; h>ts dark hair; blue eyes ; and is classed among the good looking men of the House. He had tho mis fortune to lose his father whon only twelve months old; and not having been horn silver spoon iu his mouth,” as ho grow up ho was ena bled to receive only a common school education. Having read law before he was of age he was admitted to tho bar alter a highly creditable examina tion before Judge Stark iu 1854. In July, 1855, ho settled in Lee county and began tho pruciluj'jf his profes sion. He wont to Lee, not heralded by fame, or endorsed by experience, money, or friends, those conveniences to advancement and distinction. Many young men would have been backward in cutting a path tor themselves, for it is uatural tor one starting out in lilt) to leau ou one another, to save the dread of standing alone; but when young Harper commenced life it was just at tho time ‘‘in the tide” for him to carve out his Course: to mark out his. pathway, independently to pursue it; and he did so mostsuccess iuily. Business eaino to him and ho soon had a largo and lucrative prac tice. To-day no is recognized as a ju dicious and successtul advocate who enters with ability and zeal into his clients’ cause, aud proves himselx in • tho technical proceedings ot his prolesaiou, in deleudii'g the accused, and iu prosocui'iig tor tho riguts ol the injured and oppressed. Mr Harper moved to tho town of Dawson, Terrell county, in lßoti, and resides in that town and represents fiat county at this time. In icb-i he entered the army and served with it until wounded in the battle ol the wilderness in May, lM.if in politics he has always been a Democrat, in with u colored majority ot about two hundred aud titty against him, lie was elected to the General Assembly by over e*igiit hundred majority. Though old landmarks are swept away, and society is being remodelled; though wo are iu a transition state big wit t issues, yet, as a Representative, Mr. Harper is not bound by letters to any* dogma, or new older oi tilings, but dales to think and speak bokny and freely, and, on ad occasions, ex erts himself ill behult of the peupto — to contribute to the increase ot their property; to their temporal enjoy ments aud comforts, and to the pros perity and growth ot the State. Ho watches that Georgia s glory may not be tarnished; tnat shackles may not be Fastened upon her, and that vam pyres shall nut suck out hbi hie s blood. Ho regards himself as the servan 7 , 01 - representative oi his peo ple ; considers tnat they have a right to an opinion ; that power resides in then ; that all legitimate authority is received irour them; that the govern ment should be administered in cuii ibrwity to their wid, and to promote their interest; looks upon thorn as his sovereigns, tuoir will as his law ; be lieves tnat thei" wishes must be con sulted, and their rights guarded. He wits one of Uio couiuiittee in 1808 under General .Meade’s order to investigate tiie eligibility of uit.iubers under the i-ith aujeudiuont. Ho \va» a warm ativucata oi the Kulitti btii ol lbbfe, and by lus management many gave him credit lor its passage, i/ur mg til© [iresont sess.on he has been an aiuo and earnest aavoeate ol an elec tion and against prolongation ; a bold and ardent opponent oi extravagance and corruption of every term, lio opposed tue purchase of the Opera House without first submitting the | question to the people. In a clear and lombie manner, and with heavy blows, iie fought the militia bid and aided iu hilling it. Many ol Ins speeches tins session are noticeable lor tneir being pithy, racy,scorching, seu sible and pertinent, in debate lie is iearles and bold; interrupting iiiui does not diive him from hisargumeut, while questions do not tiirow him s back, but rather appear*to draw him i out. Lute the patiu tree, the more weight ho has oh him tiio faster ho | rises. In the education of subjects, Mr. Harper is concise, clear and plain ; ' Into a good, distinct voice, and spouts earnestly and warmly on all questions - t aiways commanding the attention oj the House, borne have thought that at times the will ol Mr. Hat per was Contrary to his judgment, tout is, oc ca.-ionaliy he was urged by inclination to that which his understanding wouiii interdict: that his judgment might ad vise one course and ms leclit.gs an other ; this is all incorrect, and simply arises from the organ ot benevolent)© with him, while it causes it to be dnli cult for him, at times, to say no, in ro bivling solicitations made to iuni. i At uon is constitutional With Mr. Harper ; he does rapidly, uud is lor ioing all the time. He lias energy of character and does not allow obstacles to stop him. His brotherly and cor dial leelings are strong, and bus per sonal attachments are many and pow erful. Ho ns agreeable iu his man ners, is popular with both old and young, is a rising man, and bids lair soon, if he bo not now, one oi the prominent men ol the btate. An old bachelor stepped into a dry goods store a short time since, and called for about half a dozen button holes. I The Fatffl isljist*. ‘Cousin Wnltor, won’t you drink my health ? and Fanny Lftcy turned from the merry group and hold tho tempt ing glass of wine almost to his lips. Now, Walter Frazier was a man of strong impetuous nature, and had in herited with it a fondness fen’ dissipa tion. lie led a wild, reckless life; anil ho lmd astonished his friends all at once, by his abrupt discontinuance of his old habits, and a steady applica tion to his business. Yet no ono know what a struggle it cost him to do so. No one knows the mental agony ho endured in trying to cast off'the temp tation which constantly haunted him, and sought to cast him down from tho position he had reached. It was with him a continual effort; for in tho soci ety in which lie moved, not a day passed that lie did not experience a temptation to abandon his resolution, and indulge ‘just onco in the danger |Ous pleasure. His friends were by no means so strict in their habits, and [they frequently urgol him to tako a ! glass, and he scarcely attended an en tertainment that he was not offered wine ; all those offers were quietly ro fusodjliut ho sometimes felt that tho ef fort would snap his heart strings. e made the struggle bravely through. He fi.mly resolved never again to taste intoxicating liquors ; for ho knew himself well enough to ho assured that his fust glass would lead to another, aul his old thirst once aroused, he could not toll whore it would end. But how could ho rafuse his little cousin Fanny, the only ono he had dearly loved lrom ehildlioo l ? Arid this was trio night of her bridal; aud they, perhaps, would never meet again. Could he refuse her last re- quest i* Again her voice sounded in his ear : ‘Please Walter, you remember it is the last time I shad ever ask you.’ And toe bright blue eyes looked up at him through their dim mist ot tears. The temptation was too great, aud raising the glittering g ; biet to his lips, ho drained it to the very bottom ; but that was not all—live—six glasses wore drained, during that evening, aiul when V* alter Frazier lott tne house that night, ho knew he was a ruined mail. Tho demon ot intern peraiice was now aroused, and lie rushed to trie nearest saloon, to allay his burning thirst —drank more, drank deeply, and then reeled home, and lay ail inglit in a drunken stupor. Day alter day the same was repeated, night iound him in tho same condition. ‘There is a man at the door that won t be sent away, Ala am,’ said Bridget, thrusting her head into Fan ny Daev's or ratiior Airs. Morton s pleasant sitting-room. ‘Nousen - Bridget; what is tho use of coming to we with such stud i Ol rourso lie wid go away it Jou tell him to go. ‘Hut ho says ho is an old, old friend, and must seo you. ‘Weil, show him in, and Mrs. Mor ton threw her book down potuiuntiy and awaited itis coming. ‘Walter Frazier she exclaimed, as a man with bloated lace and blood shot eyes staggered into the room. ‘Yes, L am Walter Frazier. Ah ! you may well clasp your hands, you beautuul temptress who wrought my woes ! Hut lor you, 1, to-day might bo a noble upright man, lilting tno sta tion God created me lor. hive years ago, you tempted mo with a glass of wme, and 1 loved you so dearly i couhl not refuse, but from that hour 1 was ruined.

She threw horsed' down on the floor, and lay there all night sobbing in hor wtetciieduess; and w hen morning come with its freshness and light, Hridgett rushed in her room, saying : ‘Oil, Ma am ! please come to the lrunt door tor a minute.’ bhe did so ; and on the marble step, still and cold lay the last ot the once noble, generous Walter Frazier, the victim of intorn porunce. Ami now, my readers, by this true, | yet simple story, take warning. Nev er odor to another, this hateful poi son, or it may, fiKe Mrs. Mortimer, om ' bitter your liio forever. —Ruby ARrti , more. The surrender of Strasbourg savod it from a great peril. It lias been de clared on so good authority as that ol the Manchester Guardian that two balloons, hoi l iu tow by suitable lines; were to be sent up over the besieged towu to the height of one thousand feet. Tbouce they were to drop ni tro-glyceriire bombs into the powder magazine. A man named Walter is said to have been the inventor and the intending operator of this pretty in internal machine, which would cer tainly have been tried iu a low days had not Gen. Urieh surrendered. Powder magazines are usually pro tected by casements, or something like them, and the chance ol a bal loon, at the bight of only three hun dred yards, escaping a lain of Cltas eepot bullets would appear to be but small. However, it is quite as well that the experiment in question was not tried. —New 1 ork Times. Two-cent stamps are still required on bank checks, under tho new reve nue law ; but they are not uecossary on receipts lor money or the payment of a debt, nor need, there be any stamps put upon promissory notes for loss tnan one hundred dollars, nor oh assignments of mortgages which have once boon only stamped. Indiana has one ol l gentleman who has voted at every Presidential olao -1 firm hold in the Ufcitod States. a 9.aai> Loconrivu, Tho Chicago Times says: From time it has urged upon the inventors thn necessity of producing, for tho level plains of tho Northwost, a land loco motive, or traction ongino. Whether or not the reiterated demands of tho Tine* had anything to do with it, wo do not know; but on Friday, a mu chino of the precise character which we have so often declared to be a ne co-wity, male its appearance on our stroets. Tho inventor and builder is Mr. Lako, a gentlomnn well known to Ouicago from his original connection with tho Westside railway ; and later, as tho contractor, and builder of tho Washington street tunnel. The voliido which nialo its way along the streets of tho Wost-sido on Friday and Saturday is unlike any traction engine ever boforo built. It is a locomotive vehicle, a portable on gino, and a fire-steamer, all in- one. This combination is entirely novel, but this is not all that is new about it. Air. L ike has discovered aud used a prin ciple in the application of powor that has uover before been employed. This principle is one which admits of tho production of extraordinary power al most directly to the driving-wheel. In an ordinary locomotive, the steam; from the cylinder acts upon the piston and is communicated directly to tho crank of the driving-wheels. In Mr. Lake’s machine, when desirable, the motion can first be communicated to balance-wheels. When these wheels have reached a very high rate of speed, tho powor can lie communicated by a ‘‘clutch” to tho driving-wheels. The communication can be m tie grad ually or rapidly as may he tike light do sirab'e. Any one can see tho benefit of this style of communication. Suppose tho vunicle in a place wiioroit requires ex tra force to start it. By applying the power at onco, no movement is eifoct ud ; but by storing it up in the bal ance wheels, and then communicating it to tho drivers, ono gota almost pre cisely the same benefit that ho would by getting, say, a heavy wagon uinlor rapid motion just before running it up an incline. * If a man has to pass over a depres sion in the road with a heavily do,i led truck, it is oa-My seen that if he is un der rapid headway he will pass through it with less difficulty than ho would if he should attempt to pull his load out of tho hollow whore his wag on had beon standing. The locomo tive engineer about to ascend a diffi cult grade rushes at it after having accumulated a surplus force in a higii motion. It is precisely this well known prin ciple in mechanics which Mr. Luke has employed iu his engine. He has another novelty. The ma chine has two sets of driving wheels, one of which is considerably smaller than the other. By a simple use of tiie screw, oitJier set can be raised, leaving the other on tho ground. The objects of these two sets is, of coil so, to obtain either greater power or speed, as may bo desired, in haul ing liioavy loads, tho small wheels will be used, nud iu excursions, where there is no great weight to be hauled, rapidity is secured by tho employment of the large drivers. riie YlitliiiglK .AU.i—Scenery oi Aorwiiy.

I look down a boau titul fiord, between two walls of dark mountains and a calm, bright sea, and in the utmost limit ot the view is the groat orb of day pouring a hood of golden light open tho water, tiud iing tho fleeing clouds above him with &i the hues of a raiubow, crowning the dark ridges of the mountains with rosy tints, and covering th whole face oi iau.i and sea with a cauu, sacrod awful beauty such as i had never be held in any other region of tho earth. It soeuis as if I had climbed so high up the ridge of tho round world that 1 could seo over into the secret cham bers where the King of Hay retires to his golden rest I lei 1 almost afraid to look at tho awful monarch while Iki is putting on his robes of bright vess and preparing to go forth and shine upon the subject world. It seems as if i had intruded with rude and impertinent curiosity into the se cret place of the King of Night, and that he might punish the intrusion by smiting mo with blindness. Never could tuis strange sight of tho mid night sun bo seen to greater advant age. The ship entered this boautilul fiord just in Line to give us the .bast possible position fur holding tho two tilings which, once seen, are never to be forgotten - the sun at midnight and the sun directly in the North. The town of Hammorfest is tho : most northerly town in all tlio world, j 1 have been up a mountain this af ternoon, and looked over the North Caps into the Arctic Bea. I a:n now within nine degrees of the North Pole. The scenery all tho wtiy from Bodo, and indeed all tho way from Throno jew, has been most wonderful iu va riety and beauty. The steamer does not go out to sea at all, but passes from fiord to fiord and from island to island, always bringing us within view of bold headlands and jftgged VOL. V. —NO. 30 peaks, quiet and green hanks an.l meadows, silver cascades leaping down the mountain sides, snowy peaks and hlito glaciers, all mingled, changing! and multiplied in endless variety and succession. It is as if Lake .Wiuni piseogoe, and Lake George, aud Ivil larney, aud Cotno, and Genova, and Lucerne, an l ALiggioro, and twenty others, wore all counected, and twist ed, and linked, nud braided into everv possible form, and a steamer should ta ous through them all Tho Lo fodon are especially beautiful beyond ail description. AMj T*Xkk VIOA. Thore’s nine num a standin’ at tho doro, ami they all said they’d taken shugar in thor’n. . Sich friends and bretliering, was the talk in a wurld cens, wonst common in this our ain shant land but the dais is gone by and tho sans run dry, an no man cau say to his nabur, hoo art thou, man and will you take enny shugar in your kaug.hey'i' But the wards of our tox has a difrunt and a moro pertiekolur raeoniu than this. Thar stood at the, dore on a cold winters mprnin’ two Baptiss and two Af.tthodiss and Luth uri uis, cn 1 the tother one was a pup likin. And they all with one vois setl they wouldn’t dirty their feet iu a dram shop, but if tlpj publikiu would go and get the drinks they'd pay for ’em. And they all cried out and every man sod, “I’ll take mine with shugar —for it won’t fool good to drink tho stuff without sweetinin.” , ‘ , So trie publikin ho marched, in and the bar eepor said, “What want ye?” and he answered and se-1, “A drink.”' “How will you have it?” “Plain anil strate, says tie, “far it uin t no use wastin shugar to circuinsalivate aka fortrs. But there s niue more a stand ing at the doro, and they all sod they’d take shugar in ther n.” Friends and brothering, it ain’t only the likker or tlie spirits that is drunk in this round about and underhanded way, but it’s the liklter of all sorts of human wick edness iu like manner. There’s tho likker of rnallis that many of you drink to the dregs; but yn’re sure to sweeten it with tho shugar of self-jus tification. There is tho likker of atvriss that sum keeps behind the cur tain for constant uso, but they always has it well inixte with the sweotnin’ uv prudens and ekoniiuy. There’s, the likker of solf-luv that sum men, drinks by the gallon, hut they always put in lots of tho shugar or tako koor of No 1. Aud lastly, thar’s the likkor of ex-, torshun, which ,the man, sweetin’s, accordin' to cirkitmstances. If he’s in. the llour line, lie’ll say the poor ’ll be hotter off eating corn hr al, if lie’s in, the cloth line, wy it’s a g o 1 thing to lam ’em to make their cloth at home; if he’s in the leather line, it’ll him them tho necessity of takiu better kecr of shoes. And there s nine men at the door, anil they all sed they’d take sugar in trier’ll.. But, friends and bretliering, thare’s a tune coinin’ and a place fixin wliar they 11 bo standin’ at the dore to call for “shugar in ther’n.” But they’ll have to go rite, in and ta e tho drink square up to the front; and the bar-keeper’ll bo Old Satan and marry nobody else;and bo’ll give in “shugar in tlier’n,” you’d bet ter buli'eve it, and it’ll bo shugar of lead, and red hot lead at that, as sure, as your name’s Conshunco Dodger.— Aud you 11 be entitled to your rations three times a day, if not more fro quentlier,aud it you don’t like it ymr’ll have to lump it,and so tnoy tho old Nick, close down upon all your silk palaver ing around trio plane old people of. brotherly luv andginirosity andfeller feein’ and faro play!
