(This little ditty, which appears to have
been written by some love-sick swain, was
very popular with the Confederate sol
diers around the camp fires and in the
trenches dnring 1861-1865. It also found its
admirers and its singers in the parlors and
around the washtubs. Tn memory we hear
it yet echoing from the courts of our boy
hood days, and like a flower, plucked from
the garden of the past, we lay it before our
readers.)
Thou, thou, reign’st in this bosom,
There, there, hast thou thy throne;
Thou, thou, know’st that I love thee,
Am I not fondly thine own?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, am I not fondly
thine own ?
Then, then, e’en as I love thee,
Say, say, wilt thou love me ?
Thoughts, thoughts, tender and true,
love,
Say, wilt thou cherish for me ?
Yes, yes. yes, yes, say wilt thou cher
ish for me ?
Speak, speak, love, 1 implore thee,
Say, say, hope shall be thine,
Thou, thou, know’st that I love thee,
Say but that thou wilt be mine !
Yes, yes, yes, yes, say but thou wilt
be mine.
Psalm mii.
1 Blessedness consisteth in remission of sins. 3
Confession of sins giveth ease to the conscience.
8 God's promises bring joy.
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
BLESSED is he whose transgression is
forgiven whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the
Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose
spirit there is no guile.
3 WJjen I kept silence, my bones waxed
old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy
upon me ; my moisture is turned into the
drought of summer. Selah.
5 1 acknowledged my sin unto thee, and
mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I
will confess my transgn ssions unto the
Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of
my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly
pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest
be found ; sutely in the floods of great wa
ters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble ; thou shalt com
pass me about with songs of deliverance.
Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in
tlie way which thou shalt go: I will guide
thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,
which have no understanding; whose
mouth must be hel l in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
but he tkat trusteth in the Lord, mercy
shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye
righteous ; and shout for joy, all ye that are
upright in heart.

The Augusta Exposition.
As stated in our last issue we have
been to the National Exposition at
Augusta, Ga., and to say that the
exhibition is a credit to Augusta is
hardly stating the question fairly. It
is an exposition which is a credit to
the entire south® and one which
should be the pride of every citizen of
this section who attends it.
The cotton factory display is a mag
nificent exhibit of that branch of the
industrial development of the south.
The state display of South Carol na
is one of the best we have ever seen,
and as was said by a gentleman who
had seen the International Cotton
Exposition and the Piedmont Exposi
tion at Atlanta, the Cincinnati Expo
sition and several others, “It is the
best state display ever shown at any
of them.”
The exhibits are so varied that it is
hard to give even a definite idea of
their general character in a short
article. The racing has been the fin
est ever seen in the state of Georgia.
The fireworks display was on a scale
of impressive magnificence. Cappa’s
baud has furnished some of the most
delightful and alluring music ever
heard in the south. This band cer-

tainly can take rank with the best in
America, and the afternoon and even
ing concerts alone have been worth a
trip, hundreds of miles, to hear.
We will add,in conclusion, that Au
gusta is famous for her pretty girls;
so, young man, turn your eyes away
from the west, (and from the east
too,) awhile, and go to Augusta and
make a straight shoot for the exposi
tion grounds, for inside you will find
some of Augusta’s belles every day.
Accommodation Trains.
The Chatttanooga Times has been
“stirring up the animals” on the sub
ject ot “Railroad Discrimination,” and
particularly refers to the advantages
local accommodation trains afford the
people of suburban towns to trade in a
metropolis to which these trains run.
It interviewed a number of leading
merchants on the subject, one of
whom hit the nail on the head when
he said.
“An accommodation train is a
great benefit to any city —it is the
life to a merchant on the road. It is
also a benefit to any railroad and will
eventually build up the road that
gives the benefits. I look at the rec
ord of Joe Brown, of the Western <fc
Atlantic, and what he has done for
Atlanta as more than can be estima
ted. We want the railroads to take
a due measure of interest in us.”
The Whitlock House.
We give, on this page, a cut of the
Whitlock House, in Marietta, which
was presented in Frank Leslie's Illus
trated Newspaper some weeks ago, and
to whose publishers we are indebted
for the use of it.
Accompanying the cut was a very
complimentary article about the
Whitlock House, which we copied in
our issue of October 15, and which we
reproduce below.
We do not insert the cut in the
nature of an advertisement, but for the
purpose of showing our northern and
northwestern readers that if they will
come to Marietta they will find fine
accommodations and entertainment
there.
The Whitlock House.
If Marietta is the “Gem City” of
the South, the Whitlock House is the
gem hotel of America. This house is
neither hotel, inn nor tavern, and yet
it partakes of the character of all
three. It is more like a private gen
tleman’s residence, however, than
either. The traveler desires positive
assurance that he may enter its por
tals as a common guest, for from its
refined appearance, its beautifully
kept flower-gardens, and its sequester
ed situation it has no appearance
whatsoever of a house of public enter
tainment. Upon entering, the visitor
is as much surprised at its interior
as he was at its exterior. Neither
bell-boy, clerk, porter, nor proprietor
present themselves, and yet, before
the traveler is aware of it, he is dom
iciled and his baggage deposited in
a homelike, comfortable yoom ; anon
he rot only makes the acquaintance
of the landlord, but also of the land
lady, and if the table is not ns recherche
as that of Delmonico, it is as satisfying
to any sensible man who loves solid
comfort without ostentation. The
Whitlock House, in a word, is one of
the hotels that leaves a pleasent impres
sion on the mind of the traveler after
he has long forgotton his experience in
the far more pretentious and elaborate
caravansaries he is apt to meet with
in his travels through the South. —
