THE SOLDIERS’ HOME.
North Georgia Warmly in Favor
of Accepting It,
BILL UP IN THE HOUSE
A Good Beal nf Oppnailion tn Its
Pnannie-Fnnra That It Will
Net Go Thronffh,
There seema to be but ope opinion
in North Georgia in regard to the
Confederate Soldiers’ Home, and that
is in favor of accepting it. The
North Georgian believes in showing
to the patriots, who in the dark days
that tried men’s souls bfavely fought
for this beloved section, that their
valor, heroism and devotion to the
cause of the south is appreciated.
The North Georgian would be ash
amed to say to the old grizzled vet
eran :
“No, we cannot give you a refuge
in your old age; it might cost us ten
or fifteen cents a year. Go die in
poverty and want; you fought, risked
life and limb and lost your all for the
sake of our mothers, wives and sisters,
but the protection you gave them was
not worth ten or fifteen cents a year
to our sordid, stingy souls.’*
No; North Georgia cannot say that.
North Georgia says;
WHAT NOgTH GEORGIA BAYS.
“Bless your brave old soul; as long
as there is a crust on our table, a dust
ip our meal bin, you shall pot want.
We will give you both food and rai
ment; you shall have shelter and
comfort in your declining years.”
And North Georgia raises her voice,
and cries aloud to the legislature :
“Give our beloved, gallant old south
rons food, raiment And shelter, or we
wi.li! wifi disown you; give our dear
veterans simple justice, or we will give
you severe justice.”
may not pass.
Some of the papers and Atlanta
correspondents seeni to think that the
present legislature is in danger of re
peating the egregious blunder of the
laftt assembly by refusing to accept
the home, and causing every true
Georgian and true sou of the south to
again hang his head in shame that
Georgians, who are yearly paying in
thousands to pension the soldiers who
laid waste the south, should be no nig
gardly, so unjust and so ungrateful as
to refuse to give the men who fought
for their homes and rights a small pit
tance to keep them from the poor
house in their old age.
No; a thousand times no. A Geor
gia legislature cannot longer refuse to
do the Confederate veterans justice.
If it does, it will do so over the vigor
ous protest of North Georgia.
North Georgia as a unit declares ip
favor of the acceptance of the Sol
diers’ Home, and The Argus is
proud to chronicle that such is her
verdict.
NOW BEING DISCUSSED.
Mr. Fleming’s bill for the accept
ance of the Home was made the
special order ip the House Wednes
day of this week, and was considered
in committee of the whole. Many
speeches were made on both sides, and
• the discussion was warm. The com
mittee adjourned to sit again, without
having taken any action on the bill.

Tomorrow is the Sabbath. What

Orion fails to piss the equator on time,

Put on your best and go to church to

Go to church tomorrow.

MY BABY.
Written for The Argtjs.i
Such g little break in the sod
So tipy to be a grave!
Oh! how can I render no soon to God
The beautiful gift he gave?
Must I put you away, my pct,
•My tender bud unblown,
With the dew of the morntngppon you yet,
And your blossom all unsbown?
My heart is near to break,
For the voice I shall not hear,
For the clinging arms around my neck,
And the footsteps drawing near.
The tiny tottering feet,
Striving for mother's knee,
For the lisping tones so sweet
And the baby’s kiss to ma.
For the precious mother-name,
And the touch of the little hand,
Oh! Am I so very much to blame,
If I shriek from the sore demand?
How shall 1 know bia voice,
Or the greeting of his eyes
'Mid the countless cherub's that rejoice
In the garden of Paradise?
flow shall I know my own,
Wharetbe air is white with wings—
My babe, so soon from my bosom blown,
To the angel’s musterings?
And this is the end of it all;
Os my waiting and my pain—
Only a little funeral pall,
And empty arms again,
O, Tower! my heart’s sore
For the love that was to be,
For the untried dream of love, now o'er
'Twin thee, my child and me,
Yet over this little head;
Lying so still on my knee,
I thank God for the bliss of the dead,
For the joy of the soul set free,
'Tis a weary world at best,
This world that he will not know,
Would I waken him out of such perfect rest,
For its sorrow and strife? Ah, no!
Escaped are its thorns and harm*;
The only path he has trod
Is that which leads from the mother’s arm
luto the arms of God,
“Farewell, mamma, I am going,
Going where the angels dwell;
You’lJ be lonely, won’t you, mother?
Yet, I but can say farewell.’’
“Farewell, papa! How I loved you,
How I loved you none can tell,
Yet our parting won't be lasting,
It is but a short farewell.
“You will miss me for along while,
And yoii'll spend many a sad hour,
Put you must not grieve after me,
But meet in Heaven your Little Tower.”
