A shroud of mist ia floating O'er hiJI and plain and tree, And moonrays, pale, arc gloating Upon a heaving sea; And mystic shades are creeping Along the dull, gray shore, Where willows, lowly sweeping, Half drape the dead rocks o’er. Deep, sullen echoes sounding Far back from bluff and cave. Are caught in their rebounding And lost amid the waves. And blent in weird splendor,. With a light so pale ahd rare, Are purple shadows, tender, That gather here and there. And, listening to the surges That moan by night or day. Like low, eternal dirges For spirits passed away,— i walk in silence, thinking, With Btrange, deep-lying pain. Of deeds and scenes lost, Jinking Together memory’s chain. I think of dreams and yearning That never were fulfllled, And all the bitter learning That life has since instilled; I hear the words once spoken By lips now cold as clay, And think of dear hearts, broken, And hopes all swept away. , The great gray tide is swelling. Along the dreary shore, And troubled, mute, rebelling, I pace the damp sands o'er. A strong and vain regretting To-night has made me feel — There is no sweet forgetting For wounds that never heal. As moonrays on the ocean May brighten falling waves, The gleam of pure devotion May light the void of graves , But Lethe’s golden river Still undiscovered lie*, And hearts throb on in shadows. Unseen by human eyes. Si.Marys, Ga., 1881. THEN AND NOW. ll»w Sentiment Cli.iruiGi* a-ntl With , it OuMtoms.

Jnst thirty years ago, in the county of Liberty, and the village of Flem- ington, probably the first vohicle of the volocipede, tricycle or bicycle kind saw the light in Goorgia, and, for anght we know, was the first in the South or even the United States. It was built by two lads, cousins (re spectively thirteen nnd fourteen years of age), named Stacy, and known ev ery where throughout that section as Bob and Tom. The machine was built entirely by the boys, Bob being the master builder and the older of the two by one year. The maehine was crude in its make, for it was built by boys, without tools, but it had the principles of cycles of the present day, with one advantage, which was that it utilized both the weight and muscle of the rider. The machine had four wheels, each uboat two feet high, connected by iron axles, made firm in the wheels, upon which rested a frame with standards and a railing. The front axle was made with a double crank in the center, thus: Upon those cranks wore troadlos, tho rear end of which wore swung from the hind axle. To propel the machiue, the operator would etand on these treadles, holding on to the rail ing of the frame, and whilst beating alternately upon these treadles, would press down by palling upward on tho railing. The machine was abandoned by the boys when they found that to secure any degree of speed they must have large wheels. These they wore unable to procure. We do not assert positively, but wc feel confident that this was tho first maehine of the kind ever propelled on a dirt road. These two boys still live. One is a practicing physician in New York city, and the other is the writer, the editor of this paper. Our Tolepone Exchange Will be one month old on Monday next, and -will celebrate the event by taming on a fresh supply of electric fluid. Oar exchange is a lively infant for one month, and has cat its wisdom teeth long since. Appreciating the fact that the public might enjoy a few telephone dots, we connected our re- portorial. wire with Mr. Washington, the manager, with the following re sult: “Well, IVJr. Washington, how is the exchange to-day ?” “Oh, quite prosperous and happy.” “How many subscribers are con nected ?" "Twenty-nine.” “How mnny connections do you make daily ?” “We average about two hundred.— The busiest times in tbu day are from ton to twelve in the morning and from three to five iu the afternoon, between which hours our call-boll is almost constantly ringing.” “What firm uses the exchange the most ?’’ “It is about a tie between Chess- Carloy Co. and A. V. Wood, with a preference in favor of Mr. Wood.” “Do you have many night calls “Not a great many, though a cer tain naval store merchant has a very bad habit of calling me up at a most unseasonable hour of the morning— however, such is the luck of the tele phone man.” “Can you give me auy idea, sir, how much wire you have iu use?” “Botweon sixteen and seventeen miles, which is supported by about eight hundred insulators." “Can you give mo any other items of “interest ?” “I do not think of an.vtliingyjust now, except that a proposition is un der consideration to connect ihe quarantine station with the t-.xchange. This will be a great convenience to vessels needing the services of tho port Physician, as it will obviate de lays which are now unavoidable.” Col. David .Shook, of Asheville, N. C., is niuety-five years old and has two hundred and twenty-three de scendants. of whom one hundred and sixty-three are living. WHY IS GLYNN NOT AN AG-BI- CUI.TUR.YLi COUNTY P Mr. Editor: One of the grand re quirements for the fall development of this our particular section is un doubtedly cultivation of the soil. It is well knowD to most of yonr readers that, with extremely few exceptions, there is scarcely a farm in Glynn county, and, again, excepting the few rice plantations bordering the Alta- maha, not an area of ground appro priate to planting purposes in the en tire county which can properly be dig nified by the term “plantation.” Why this should be the ease more particularly in Glynn than the nu merous other counties seems difficult to say, for go where you will through the county, large open areas of culti- vatable lands present themselves to your view. Such lands, free from im pediments to easy cultivation, natu rally rich, would, conld they be trans ferred to Middle Georgia, be consid ered a source of wealth to its proprie tors, and yet here it lies, fast hiding its shame at being thus unnoticed, in a covering of unserviceable under brush. Prior to tho civil war those identi cal lands were the boast of their own ers, consequent npon their productive ness. Tract after tract can bo pointed to the enquirer that in ante-bellum days produced its bale of sea island cotton to the acre and thirty to forty bnshets of corn per acre without the aid of fertilizers, whilst now it pro vides but » screen to the wild-cut, a roost for the owl, or a scanty grazing for that rhinoceros-consistency of flesh, yclept “Glynn county beef." My neighbor tenders me the infor mation that scarcity of labor is the cause. Is it so ? The Middle Geor gia farmer cultivates from thirty to forty-five acres to the plow, realizing, as by the statistician’s reports, an av erage of a bale of upland cotton to ev> ery three acres, or eight bushels of corn per acre—and are onr lands so much harder to cultivate ? I venture to assort that a Glynn county farmer would feel himself a very much abused and unfortunate individual if his crop ping venture repaid him by no mure prosperous yield than this. Unfortunately for the past of onr cii v and for the residents of our coun ty, u “timber-getting” mania appeared to seize upon one and all just after the war, which seemed to open tho way for present remuneration if not for future wealth. This, connected with the fact that the old system of labor wns annihilated nnd the inabili ty of our people to reeoncile them selves to the now condition, caused the old farms and plantations to be come neglected. Whore once every thing flourished is now but a useless waste, biding the time when the new order will again change the old. Fan cy to yourself, Brunswick grocer, Brunswick dry goods dealer, a line of country wagons entering your city loaded with country produce, to bar ter for your wares—such a sight as may bo seen upon a Saturday or pub lic day at any one of a hundred Geor gia towns. It would be a happy sight, and I sincerely hope yon have tbut pleasure yet io store for you. But corn and cotton are not the ou ly productions of which our soil is capable. Florida papers and pam phlets ore filled to overflowing with details of the astonishing benefits fi nancially to be derived from so-called “trucking," the descriptive accounts making it appear that all Florida must be one graud garden spot. Mnr- ] velons tales arc told of the immense | squashes, potatoes, cabbages, etc., ! produced, yet I have seen no account ! of any that would exceed in size, fla- ! vnr or appearance those placed on ex- j hibition at our annual fairs, which we I have all witnessed, and I do claim, from observation, hearsay and expe- ! rience that as fine lands for trucking ! are embraced within an area of eiglit or ten miles around Brunswick—easy f of access to rail, steamer or city mar ket as can be found in Florida.— Granting this to be the case (and none will gainsay it . what better opening for u small : vestment of the Schofield’s Iron Works, Maco: manufacture" PORTABLE AND STATIONARY ENGINES AND I OIL ERS, SAW MILLS, GRIST MILLS, and all Kinds of Machinery and Castings to order.

SCHOFIELD & SONS* surplus capital of onr merchants, pro fessional men, clerks, mechanics—all —can be found than in devoting a portion of it to trucking and fruit raising. I cannot find time to attend to it, says one. Bnt yon can, my friend.— Cut short that morning nap, jump’on yonr pony and take a morning gallop to your little farm or orchard, direct your day’s work. lEpeut the dose frequently, and in a short time yon’ll be a better man physically, financial ly and otherwise.

Iiwllni as the salary ot any hard-worked 1 itv»n-i in araw clerk in this city. This is the right kind of fife insurance to leave your wife and children. Take .>nt a policy iu Ltiis mutual company, and if the premiums nre properly cared for, you need fear no collapses, such ns many of ns have experienced. Strawberries, grapes, cabbages, cauliflower, Irish and sweet potatoes all present tbeir different claims to yonr attention, nnd challenge an investigation ns to whether, if properly cultivated, they do not briug you in a handsome re turn for the investment. What, then, will be the result?— A stranger prospecting will note an air of thrift now lamentably absent, of positive independence, a more live and stirring people, with plenty for minds and hands to do. an increase in the number and quality of stock and equipages, a greater desire to let yonr neighbor’s city affairs alone and attend more closely to yonr own, both in town and at yonr farm. Then, in place of taking ynry stranger friends for a drive through the environs of yonr city, and having naught to ex hibit. n> him other than a labyrinth of pine frees, with here and there a cab bage palmetto or a scrub hog by way of diversion, you will bo able to show him cultivated fields, handsome or chards, pretty villas, and all the oou- oomitauts of a prosperous people. This, rooders, is within the reach of us all, slimly provided in this world’s goods though wo are. Try it, as n few of your acquaintances have, who, I venture to say, do not regret their having made the beginning. But a word of caution—be not too sanguine nnd therefore become care less. Have a care what you plant and how, and hold Davy Crockett’s maxim constantly before yon, which, if fol lowed, will snreU lead vou to success. In all this, kind render, do as I say, and not as I have done, or you might, after raising eighteen barrels of five- inch average Irish potatoes, ship them (as I did) to Brunner, Peck A Co., of New York, and get fifteen three- cent postage stamp- i return.
