Don’t thou recall that n.ght in June, beneath
the Licden tree?
When we two stood, ami spake, our creed, and
you made «.w* to me?
Upon thy breast I lamed; my lover, and my
kpig,
AS bliiliHome, a:.d .is happy, as ths fleetest bird

From out a nelgh'ring casement near, the band
sent merry strains,
Our hearts atone with dancer’s feet, we deemed
love had no pains.

Through all the weary sketch of years,Oh! Love
I still am thine
This eve I stand beneath that tree, and wait
the heart that's mine.
No rose is blowing 'cross -t.y face a subtle per
fume sweet,
The flowers all fade, and wi hered lie unless
your smile i greet.
rhe nightingale above is mute, or if she sings
so Jow,
Tis but to voice in dulcet tones my unavailing
woe.
Wher’er thy feet have trod my own, this heart
has followed thee,
Uh! Love come back ami bring my heart, and
thy heart too to me.
A woman weak I can’t, forget for thee I ever
sigh
Can’st thou forget?—lre this I know, Oh ! Dear
Gori let me die.

A bill has been introduced into
the Virginia Legislature imposing
a stamp tax of 1 cent on every

disabled CouLdercle soldiers and

More than that, many of its readers
are now in line and the hobby ridden
“war record” will be compelled to
put on more steam, else it will be
relegated to the back ground. This
paper honors surviving Confederate
soldiers ae much as any oue, but the
war io over. We are not in need,
specially of soldiers in office. This
paper does not, nor will it ever, raise
any objection to a man because he
served in the war, but at the same
time it. is a pitiful cry.

IT DOES,NT PAY.
The Constitution has fired
another editorial at Mr. A’kii
-8i)i), asking that gentleman to with
draw from the gubernatorial race
in the luierest of party harmony.
In behalf of General Evans’ can

t enter a friendly protest against
the adoption of such tactics. No
1 goe d can coms of this toei’her the
' candidacy of General Evans or to
the settlemei J >f competative cam

Mr. Atkinson is not interfering
with party harmony in Georgia
and if ho desires to remain in the
fight to the close, that is his
1 business, and the Democracy of
Georgia will enter no objection.
In reply to the last suggestion
on this line, Mr. Atkinson says:
“Extend my compliments to the
j editor and sugg st to him the
? propriety cf saving his advice 'for
his own candidate; that I cann’ t
allow General Evans’s manag rs
