Oh! the ways of the world are many, And most are busy with cafe; While one may be joyous and happy, Hundreds are shaking with fear There’s.grief for the.breast of the mon¬ arch, A-wolf to frighten each lamb Ob, I’m for the few that are reckless, For the man that don’t care a d—n. Some shout for the dog that is upmost, t’ew prayTor the dog that is down, Some bow to the smile that com¬ mands ’em, Some to the threatening frown, But I hate the man who would wear it The boson that’s only a sham ; Howisplendid.and happy and glorious Is the man that don’t care a d—n. The heart that is loving is anxious, Love endeth at last in diapair, And the hope that hath paradise in it Is only a mist in the air. My soul is as light as the ether, My heart weighs only a drachm; Oh love, if you love me, 1’tl love you, If you don’t, I don’t care a d — n. 8eelbecomes who is watchwom and weary > Let's whistle and lot' him go by, He comes who smiling but dreary, Tbat smile is simply a lie— Shut the door on the day that is rainy And let it'go to with a slam, Bring wine and open to no one fiut tbe.man who don’t care a d—n.

Harris. conn Editor* Few*: I have been thinking (or some time that I would write * letter to the Ksw», but there bu been inch a stir here, up until no#, that a fellow could not get bia brain to stand still long eaough to write a letter. You are not here long before you find out that legislation is very slow work, and alao that the old members ha'-e a great advantage over the new members. They know the roptt and they do not fail to pull them. To illustrate, they introduce moat of the local bills, and every day seme of them will get up and ask the unanimous consent to have bill No. 120 token up aud read the Second or third lime. In this way a large number of these bills are passed while bill No. 2, or 3, the first introduced, are not acted upon. So, up to thi3 time, a very lew general bills have passed. But a good many are learni ng the ropes and it will not be ->o in future. I am satisfied that a majority of the members desire a short session and will do all they can to bring in about But there are several good general bills introduced that should pass. The question is, shall we pass them, or shall wo adjourn, haring done but lit¬ tle, except to pas3 iocal bills? I will state also that some of these local bills require nearly two hours to have them read and they have to be read three times. The biggett thing before this legis¬ lature is education. Several bills have been offered and it is the desire of the committee on education to take the best parts from each bill and form on* good bill and try to pass it. It is my opinion that this legislature will give the people five or six mouths free school. Another good bill is to make the seed cotton law general. Many coun ties have local laws, but we of Lincoln county know that this does not work well, because the cotton is carried to other counties and sold. This does not protect the farmers as it should, and it also does an injustice to our county merchants. North Georgia is opposed to the bill ind some had to beg a good deal to get it through the committee room, but I think it can be passed. There are a Dnumber of other good bills not acted upon as yet. The tax and appropriation bills were just brought in this morning. The fi¬ nance committee, I suppose, could not dc any better. It will requirs sev eral days to get through with these bills. Several large appropriations are asked for, but it is my opinion that some of them will fail to get- the sum asked for. I know they will not get it by my vote. The committee on lunatic asylum have attended to their work. This is one of the grandest institutions in the state. \\ e went through every depart¬ ment and will never forget the trip. There is over 1600 there for treatment aud a large number of them will never be cured. It takes 900 pounds of beef, 300 pounds of bacon, over four barrels of flour, 10 bushels of meal, 100 gal¬ lons milk daily, besides potatoes and other things they raise a good deal of what they consume. I counted 60 potatoe hills. They have over 200 head of hogs 65 of wuich are ready to kill. I understand that Senator Gordon will join the alliance tomorrow. It will take place in room 2i, Capital building. Yours truly, J. R. Hoorn.
