Maggie by My (Side.
The land of my home is 'flitting, flitting
from my view,
A gale in the sail is sitting, toils the merry
crew;
Here let my home be on the waters wide,
I roam with a proud heart —Maggie’s by my
. side.
chorus :
My own loved Maggie dear,
Sitting by my side,
Maggie dear, my own love,
Sitting by my side.
The wind howling o’er the billow from the
distant lea,
The storm raging ’round my pillow brings
no care to me;
Roll on ye dark waves o’er the troubled
tide,
1 heed not your anger-Maggie’s by my side.
Storms can appall me never while her brow
is clear,
Fair weather lingers ever where her smiles
appear,
When sorrow’s breakers ’round my heart
shall hide,
Still may I find her sitting by my side.
Psalm XIV.
I David describeth the corruption of a natural
man. 4 He convinceth the wicked by the light
of their conscience. 7. He glorieth in the salva
tion of God.
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.
riIHE fool hath said in his heart, There is
1- no God. They are corrupt, they have
done abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men, to see if there
were any that did understand, and seek
God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all
together become filthy : there is none that
doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? who eat up my people as they
eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God
is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor
because the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were
come out of Zion ! when the Lord bringeth
back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
The Western & Atlantic railroad
forms one of the most important links
in the great systems of railroads in
the south. From Nashville to Atlan
ta, Chattanooga, Augusta, Savannah,
Jacksonville, etc., the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis, and Western &
Atlantic roads form absolutely the
shortest route between the points
named. The Western & Atlantic R.
R. is provided with the best of rolling
stock and accommodations for its. 'pa
trons, and its successful public record
is ample evidence of the thoroughly
practical methods that mark its man?

“I used to wonder why it was,” said
a gentleman talking to a railroad man,
“that the trains on the Western & At
lantic Railroad were able to make
their time so regularly and with such
absence from train wrecks which so
many other roads suffer from ; but in
going up the road the other day I was
in the rear of the train, and noticed
particularly the road-bed It is one of
the best constructed that I have ever
seen, and reminds me very much of
the solidity of the English railroads in
its construction. At Mclvors, for in
stance, where the road crosses a deep,
wide ravine, instead of building a
bridge or a trestle they have filled it
in and made an immense embank
ment. This is so thick that it almost
appears like a cross ridge of the original
formation of the earth, I should
judge that it was over one hundred
feet high and over two hundred feet
wide at the base. So as one or two of
the valley near Kennesp w fountain

there are immense embankments which
are plainly seen with the naked eye
from the summit of the mountain.
With this solid road-bed and steel rail
and rock-ballasted track it is nowonder
that the W. & A. engineers and train
men have absolute confidence in im
munity from accidents when running
over it.”
If the editor of the Mail and Express
of New York thinks he is doing some
thing new in printing a verse from the
Bible in each issue of that paper he is
not posted. The Kennesaw Gazette
prints a psalm in each number. I
don’t know the Gazette’s idea —it
may be to cast seed by the wayside
whereby wandering sinners may profit
—surely this, no traveler along the
Kennesaw who has a heart, but sings
its praises for speed, comfort and safe
ty —and comfort and safety was what
tuned David’s heart.—A Pointer,
(N. Y.)
Our object is “to cast seed by the
wayside,” and also to enable those
Christians who hqve not always a Bi
ble handy to rejoice in the of
the Word when they have a spare
minute on the train or in the office to
which the Kennesaw Gazette goes.
Thank you, Brother Reau, for your
kind words.
The world is indebted to a Georgian
for steam navigation across the Atlan
tic. In 1818 Captain Moses Rogers,
of Savannah, suggested to the merch
ants of that city the idea of building a
steamer to run between Savannah and
Liverpool. A ship was bought and
fitted up,and named the Savannah. In
April, 1819, it made the trial trip
from New York to Savannah in £even
days, and was visited by President
Monroe, who was then on a southern
tour. In May she sailed for Liver
pool, where she arrived in twenty-one
days, creating a sensation. The Savan
nah was chased a whole day off the
coast of Ireland by a British revenue
cutter, which mistook her for a
ship on fire. After this trip steam
navigation across the Atlantic was
abandoned for years on account of the
expense. The - fact, however, remains
that Georgia took the lead in ocean
steam navigation.— Atlanta Constitu
tion.
The Kennesaw Gazette, Atlanta,
Ga., tells all about the beauties and
advantages of Northern Georgia, with
much other good reading matter. Any
person contemplating going to Atlanta
or vicinity, should send for a copy of
the Gazette. It will give much val
uable information about the country
and of course tell you the best, quick
est and safest way to get there.— Free
Baptist Herald, Charlestown, W. Va.
That editor in writing about the
gospel has gotten so used to telling the
truth that he irresistibly does so no
matter what subject he has in hand.
Mr. Allison, superintendent of the
Etowah company, owning the great
iron and manganese property, on the
Etowah river, a few miles above Car
tersville, Ga., is rebuilding the old
railroad which ran from the W. & A.
Railroad Etowah bridge, up the river
to the old iron works, destroyed with
the road, during the war.

Archbishop Whately was one day
asked if he rose early. He replied
that once he did, but he was so proud
all the morning and so sleepy all the
afternoon that he determined not to
do it again.
