Will you crown'my brqyv with flow¬ ers When the darkness tbiobens round, Round me mid life's shady bowers, Andgty heart witli joys abound ? Summer dreams they lade so early, Youthful days so^u pass away, And the shadows fall so gently Round my pathway day by day. \V:11 you grown my brow with flowers When the dumps of death are near ? And I feel that precious hours Will so soou all disappear; When I‘m in Death's gloomy valley, Sitting in the mist alone, And the clouds are gathering sadly And you hear the dying groan. Will you crown Wy brow with flowers When my eyelids close in death, And the storm of evening lowers, And I faintly gasp for breath ? Just beyond time's hoary mountain Rises Canaan's fairest land, Through which gleams the purling "fountain Over in that better land. Will you grown my brow with flowers As I in the casket lay, And my spirit upward towers To the land so far away ? Just across Death’s swelling rive.r, Looms us Eden's lovely bowers, There amid the glad forever. Christ will crown with fadeless flow- ers. O then crpwn my brow with flowers Whilst I moulder in the tomb, When my grave is drenched with showers, Let the violet o'er me bloom; Where the lyre of life is silent. Stephens and Pavis. I have heard intimation, seen it in newspapers, that there was a contro- versy between illr. Davis. and mvs sglf which obstructed the success of the Confederate Government and en-> ded in the failure of the Confederate cause. I know there is a general mis apprehension in the public mind about the relation between Mr. Davis aad myself. I nffir^r to-night that there never was an unkind word or an un-* pleasaut word or controversy between Mr. Davis and myself from the begin¬ ning dowD. We did disagree upon some question of policy; but when I pledged myself to the people of Geor¬ gia in that secession, in a speech you may have read and can now read, my fortune in weal or woe should go for my people and my State, that pledge has ever or on all occasions been redeemed. But mark you, whenever I disagreed with the administration of Mr. Davis I went directly to him; I never intended to be a schismatic; I submitted my views. I saw, or thought I saw (excuse wliat may seem to be vanity or egotism) I thought I saw a great danger from the superior shipping and naval power North, thaj our por^ might bs blockaded. My idea was to get the 45,000 bales of cot- ton we then had out apd abroad be¬ fore the blockade commenced, by giy ipg the planters nine cents per pound in 8 per cent, bonds, that would have amounted iu all to about $200,- 000,000. By shipping it abroad wo should have, holding it there in Eus rope at 50 cents per pound, a capital of at least $800,000,000. AH this you will see in my speeches. Did that look as if there was any in¬ fidelity pr disloyalty to the Confeder¬ ate cause? The policy was not adopts ed. I believe it was afterwards ad¬ mitted. Dr. Craven, Mr. Davis* physjcian stated that he admitted to him in Fortress Monroe that if that policy had been adopted the financial troubles would uever occurred, and there might have been a change in oar causa.—[Extract from Mr. Steph¬ en's Macon Speech. ■- ■ - ‘Pray excuse me,’ Said a welldressed young man to a young lady in the second tier of boxes at the theater; I wirb to go out and get some refresh - ments—don't leave your seat.'

GA„ FRIDAY, OCTOBER -6, 1882, -The Model Husband This perfect being is a scarce article Some of our naturalist particularly Our feminine ones, believe him to ba ex-- tinet. Such .however is not the cusp, . He is rarely found—never in the Wild state—and when ever ho has been discovered he lias been far away from any of his own species. Contact with other husbands is sure to dull his good q nalities and in time to render him viciou f, wild and ungovernable. The Model Husband may be recognized at a glance by a certain meekness of de¬ meanor, a recently-whipped-poodle air of mingled submission and contri¬ tion. High authorities like Lucy Stone Blackwell and Olive Logan reared him ns a trained creature at best—brought to submission by the stern hand of woman, and kept in whotesopj® restraint ouly by the ins fluence of her eagle eye. Other nat-i uralist,among them the distinguished Dr. Mary Walker, Miss Susan B. An¬ thony. and Prof, jfulia Ward Howe, learnedly maintained that Model Husbands have actually been born Buch— as the old, classic people he- lieved poets to be. All these author¬ ities agree that tiro Model Husbands would rather suffer a thousand deaths than to enter a bar room, and would joyfully pilfer being lorn to pieces,by wild .horses to joining a club; that he would rather inhale the fumes of sul¬ phur than smoke a cigar. lie has never possessed a ujght keg, does not belong to any lodge 1ms assasinated all of his bacheler friends, and never crosses bis wife's wishes, oxcept when he bitterly opposes the employment of pretty servant girls. He is fiimly of the opinion that wives require one new bonnet each month, and that their health would be periled if not provided with at least six new silk dresses in each year. In summer the Model Husband sends his wife to a fashionable seaside or inland resort while he continues at his daily toil, hurrying to her side on AVturday af¬ ternoon to bring fresh supplies of cash and to take orders for anything that may be needed from the city to add to her comfort. If his wife has a mother living, the Model Husband ,$efeys to that superior woman's judgment in all things. He begs her to oy^et his household as it seems best iu her wis¬ dom. In her exalted presence he is entirely inuocent of any opinion of his own. To his wife the Model Hus¬ band defers in all things. Her light¬ est words is law. H 3 is merry when she smiles, and sheds tears when she suffers from headache. Ou washday he cheerfully goes dinnerless. Dur¬ ing the awful season’s of house cleaning he uncomplainingly eats his meals in the coal-biu, and sleeps on the floor in au attic. If he is a father he looks carefully after the wants of bis children, devoting all of his leisure time to caring for the more helpless of the little ones. Above all the Model Husband does just what his wife tells him to do. -• -——■ Costly Shoes. The costliest pair of shoes I have ever seen covered the pedal extremities of a New York lady—$39 was paid for them. The same lady wore a pair of stockings which cost $60. They were made of black silk, and midway between the ankle pnd the Kneo was a green tree embroided in silk, and rest¬ ing upon the branches of the tree were bright-plumaged birds, 30 rae in the act of flying. On the ‘bulge, 1 or lar¬ gest part of the stocking was a hunts- man, clad in red shirt and trousers, taking aim at the birds on the tree. Upon the instep was the monogram of the lady wrought in gold letters.— Between the knee and upper part of the stocking were eighteen narrow bands of many varying hues .—Detroit Free Press. A scientist says: Segregation is a process tending ever to separate un¬ like units, and to bring together like units so serving continually to shar¬ pen, or make definite, differentiations which have been otherwise caused.’ This seems plain enough, and satis^ factorily explains why the homogenei* ty of the contrction of the nebulosity and theevolutionism of the subsequen- tiatioh and individualism are in anti¬ pathy to the heieforeness and primo- diaism of the cosmos in its relation to the unseenhess of the vacuuity. And y£t some persons may doubt it. —Norristown Herald. Josh Billings on Marriage. History holds its tongue, ns to who j , l' e P a ’ r "Us who first put on the sil - * i<;tl harness, and promised to work kind to it, through thick nr.d thin, up hill and down, and on the level. rain or shine, survive or perish, sink ov swim, drown or flote. But wotever they wuz, they must have made a good thing of it, pi so many (of their posterity would not have harnessed up siucc and drove out. There is a great .moral grip to mar¬ riage, it is the morterthat holds them together. But,there ain't but few pliolks who put their mo uey in ,matrim.qny who could set down and give a good writ¬ ten opinyuu whi 011 arlh they come to did it. This is a great proof that it is one oy them uatral kind ov accidents that nmst happen, jest as birds fly out ov the nest, when they have feathers enough, without being able to tell why. .Sum may marry for beauty, and never diskovir their mistake; this is lucky. Sum marry for money, and don't see it. Sum marry bekase they have been histed sum when else; this is a cross match, a bay and sorrell; pride m i y make it endurable. Sum marry for lov without a cent in their pocket, nor a friend iu the world, noy a drop of pedigree. This looks desperate, but it is the strength of the game. If marrying for luv ain't success then matrimony is a dead beet. Su m marry because they think wim- miu will be scarce next year, and live to wonder how the crop holds out. Sum marry to get rid of themselves and diskover that the game was one that two could play at, and neither win. ■ Sum marry the second time io get, even, and.-find it a gambling g?.rae— the more iixey put down the less they take up. Sum marry, they can't tell why, and live they cuu't ,tell how. Almost everybody gets married, and it is a good joke. Sum marry coquet.ts. This is like buying a poor farm heavily mortgag • ed, ;ui(l working the balance ov your days to lear off the mortgages. Married l.fe has its chances, and this is just what gives it its flavor. Everybody loves to phool with the chances, bekanse everybody expects to win. But I am authorized tew state everybody don't win. But, after all, married life is full, az certain az dry goods biziness. No man can swear exactly where he will fetch up when he touches c.di- CO. Kno man kan tell jist what calico haz made up its tjjind few do next. Calico don't know even herself. Dry goods of all kinds is the child of circumstanses. Sum never marry, but this is just as risky; the disease is the same, wi;h another name to it. The man who stands on the bank shivering, and dassent, is more apt to ketch cold than he who pitches his head fust into the river. There i butz few who never marry bekanse they wont—they all hanker, and most ov them starve, with bread before them (spread on both sides,) jist for the lack of grit. Marry young ! iz my motto. I have tried it, and know what I am talking about - Marriage is a safe way to gamble— if you win, you win a pile, and if you luze, yon dt.n't loze anything, only the priviledge of lying dismally alone; and soaking your own feet. There is but one excuse for a mar¬ riage late iu life, and that iz—a sec¬ ond marrige. ——----- The Constitution received yesterday from Meriwether county, by the hands of Col.

A Buffalo "Robe With a History. ‘‘Yes," said a welKto-do Ga.,.to business Con- gentleman of Atlanta, tljo stitntion representative, that bnffalo robe is old, worn faded, ugly and worm-eaten, tut I ryoukln't take $5,- 000 for it.* ‘Then you are not as sensible as I thought you were,’replied the repor¬ ter, as ho eyed the buffalo robe sin-end upon the floor. ‘Sensible or npt, I mean.it. I Live been offered $100 and $200 for it re¬ peatedly, and once bad an offer of $500. See,’ continued tbs speaker, pointing to the faded hieroglyphics on the inside of the robe, .that >vas painted by a Sioux Indian artist sev¬ enty years ago, and for; many winters kept warm this body of one of the greatest chiefs thut tribe ever produc¬ ed. That robe was bis treasure, and for it he fought and many of his best braves died.’ ‘That's a good speech and well de¬ livered, but it sounds like a snake story, ‘ remarked the cedar shovev, as the gentleman paused, out of breath. ‘No, it is no snake story, and I will show you why I value that robe so m ueb. My father was a Georgian, and when Georgia squt key soldiers to the Mexican war he shouldered his gun and went along. From the time he left home till the treaty of peace was signed lie staid with his regiment and when at last became home th^it robe was all be brought with him. He put great store by it and always kept it in his room. To his family he told bow lie got it. One day during the war he was scouting with a de¬ tachment of bis regiment and came upon a band of Indians. A fight was the res It, and after a few Volleys (Ire Indians retreated, or rather those \yho co,i|Id do so. Among the wounded was an old chief, and when the sol-, diets came up to where he lay on the battlefield there was some talk of kil-» ling him, for lie was recognized a-s the- most heartless,cruel i>nd fearlesi In¬ dian on the plains, but my father in¬ terfered and from his own canteen put water between the wounded chiefs parched lip3 But his wounds were mortal and soon all knew that the cruel, heartless chief was dying. Just before death he beckoned my father to his side and by signs gave him thut robe. That is^row it came into the family. ‘And that is why you wouldn't take $5,000 for it ¥' ‘No, not exactly. When the late war came on I enlisted, and when my old father sent my tricks to the comp he sent that robe. I did not want to take it, because it was so cumbersome, but when be insisted I yielded. Well, I went to Virginia, and while trotting around after Stonewall Jackson, lost the robe. I was greatly worried over my loss, and used every exertion to recover the old robe. Everybody in my regiment jrnew of the robe, its history and its Joss, and every one kept an eye open for it. Well, about the time of Cross Keys and Port Re¬ public fights, I learned one day that my robe was in Stgnownjl Jameson's tent. I went to see and sure enough it was there. When I entered the tent, or rather looked into the tent oid Stonewall was lying upon the robe Finally, I mustered courage to tell him of my loss. He beard my story with patience, and then said that the robe hud been brought him about a weeK before by an Alabama soldier. He oflered to surrender it, but I couldn't take it and told him to keep it— g, the same time giving him its history—and I would get it after the war if he did not lo3e it. Well, he Kept it. At the battle of Chaocellors- ville be received his death-wound, and when he died he died on the robe; and I believe some of that red which looks like paint is some of the hero's blood. After bis death I claimed the robe, and doubly dear to me, sent it home. Wow, would you take $5,000 for it ? I can prove every word of my story Irue.’ The corn crop for the State of Georgia is estimated by the State Ags ricultural Department to be in the neighborhood of 30,000,000 bushels, which manes the yield about equal to that of 1859, which latter lias been re¬ garded as probably the largest corn crop ever gathered in the State.
