Irish Emigrant’s Lament, I'm sitting on the stile, Mary, Where we sat side by side, On a bright May morning, long ago, When first you were my bride ; The corn was springing fresh and green, And the lark sang loud and high, And the red was on thy lip, Mary, And the love-light in thine eye. The place is little changed Mary, The day is bright as then, The lark’s loud song is in my ear, And the corn is green again ! But I miss the soft clasp of your hand, And your warm breath on my cheek, And I still keep listening for the words You never more may speak. ’Tis but a step down yonder lane, And the little church stands near, The church where we were wed, Mary, I see the spire from here. But the graveyard lies between, Mary, And my step might break your rest, For I’ve laid you, darling, down to sleep, With your baby on your breast. I’m very lonely now, Mary, For the poor make no new friends ; But oh I they love them better far, The few our Father sends; And you were all I had, Mary, My blessing and my pride, There’s nothing left to care for now, Since my poor Mary died. Yours was a brave, true heart, Mary, That still kept hoping on, When the trust in God had left my soul, And my arm’s young strength had gone, There was comfort ever on your lip, And the kind look on your brow, 1 bless you for that same, Mary, Though you can’t hear me now. Psalm XXIV. 1 God’s lordship in the world. 3 The citizens of his spiritual kingdom. 7 An exhortation to receive him. A Psalm of David. riIHE earth is the Logo’s, and the fulness 1. thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, Oye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in : 8 Who is the King of glory ? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, Oye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this king of glory ? The Lord sf hosts, he is the King of glory, Selah. A. humorous dare-devil—the very man to suit xxiy purpose. Bulwek. A Delightful Trip. From Chattanooga to Atlanta by the Western & Atlantic Railroad was one of the most charming railroad rides I have ever experienced. Like the pre ceding stage in the journey, the region is historical. Chickamauga, Resaca, Marietta and a scJre of other battle fields are in immediate juxtaposi tion to the railroad, and the mind’s eye easily goes back toward these stirring scenes, made famous in the history of the “March to the Sea.” Near Carters ville, Ga., the iron highway crosses the Etowah Valley on a mighty bridge, and with a majestic sweep of the glisten ing parallel lines of steel rail, that fair ly rivals the noted Horse Shoe Bend near Altoona, Pa. At Marietta, des tined to be a famous winter resort in all probability, the dark green slopes of Kennesaw Mountain tower above the pretty town, and again does mem ory revert to the terrible carnage wit nessed here in the mad struggle for victory between the legions of old “Tecumseh” and Gens. Cleburne and Cheatham, C. S. A. As if to empha size the reminiscence, from a neatly painted negro cabin just beyond the de pot came the faint strains of a melodeon, and it did not require much knowledge of the rythmic melodies of Moody, Sankey, et. al., to distinguish the ever famous air of “Hold the Fort.” Look ing up at Kennesaw Mountain, the famous dispatch was instantly recalled, THE “OLEBURNE’S FORESIGHT” NUMBER. ATLANTA, CA., JUNE I, 1888. Kul I. VM * J > I ’ll make yer git down off’n dar! ( See next number for result.) and Sherman’s “Hold the Fort, fori am coming,” will live as long, or longer, perhaps, than the memories of the bloody battle which it accentuates. The town of Calhoun, Ga. which the terrible cyclone of six weeks ago, almost coincident with Gotham’s bliz zard, nearly obliterated from the face of the earth, showed vivid traces of the visitation of the elements as our train pulled up to the station. Here and there were houses showing great rents, the repairs to which had not been en tirely completed, and a number of new brick buildings showed where the shat tered dwellings had been restored in a more substantial state. The route of the Western & Atlantic Railroad to Atlanta taps a region full of interest, and it goes through a part of Georgia that evinces prosperity on all sides.— New York Sportsman. General Pat Cleburne was one who not only possessed the highest military sagacity of any Major-General of the Confederate army; but his history shows that had he turned his attention to politics instead of the army he would have stood in the front of south ern statesmen. See in this issue of the Kennesaw Gazette his paper on freeing the slaves. The W. & A. R. R. tin# ttfelve passenger thiiiid daily* A Beauty. Probably the handsomest Pullman palace car that Atlanta ever saw left on the Western & Atlantic Railroad yesterday. There were fourteen sec tions in the car, besides a smoking apartment, wash rooms, reading rooms, hallways and sanitary apartments. Nickle and silver-plated mountings, mahogany silk plush seats and velvet carpets, made this car a palatial home for the traveler. — Atlanta Constitution. The above refers to one of the two new Pullman cars which have just been put on the run between Atlanta and Nashville. These two cars, —the Hermione and the Hispania are in every sense beautiful and magnificent, and bear witness to the determination of the two lines handling them to afford to the public the luxuries of travel. The W. & A.’s President. The Savannah News, in its article on the meeting of the Georgia Press Asso ciation at Canton, says : Senator Brown’s farm, where he was binding grain when the convention of 1857 nominated him for Governor, is one of the historic spots to which the Cantonians point with pride, and “Joe Brown’s mill,” where the Senator first got his start in life, is another. How ever much we may differ with the old war Governor of Georgia on some pub lic questions, no one can deny that he is one of Georgia’s greatest sons, who, by his ability, industry and strong common sense, has risen, step by step, from a poor farm boy to the highest positions in the gift of his state. There is a slight mistake about Sena tor Brown’s getting his first start in life at the little mill; but the rest of the above is correct. The Dalton Accommodation. The Dalton accommodation train, running between this place and the city of Chattanooga, was again resumed last Sunday. The train leaves Dalton at 6:25 a. m., and arrives in Chatta nooga at 8:00 a.m., and returning, leaves the latter place at 6:00 p. m., arriving at Dalton at 7:30 or there abouts. As the W. & A. company has adopted a schedule of special low rates for the summer, applicable to this train; the accommodation will prove a: great convenience to local traveli— JDaUori Citizen, NO. 11.
