Over the River.
Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved oues whi've excised to the further
■ide.
The gleam of their snowy robes I see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide
There’s one with ringlets of sunny gold.
And eyes the reflection of Heaven’s own blue,
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view;
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates of the citv we could not see,
Over the river, over the river,
My bi other stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the boatman pale,
Carried another, the household yet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale,
Darling Minnie I I see her yet.
£he crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands. (
And fearlessly entered tbe phantom bark.
We saw it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark;
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be ;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhood’s idol is waiting for me.
Tor none return from those quiet shores.
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale ;
Wc hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch a gleam of the snowy sail ;
And lo I they have passed from our yearning
hearts
They cross the stream and are gone for aye.
We may not sunder the vail apart
That hides from our vision ths gates of day,
We only know that their barks no more,
May sail with us o’er life’s stormy sea ;
Yet somewhere 1 know on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And I sit and think when the sunset’s gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
I shall one day stand by the water cold
And list for the sound of the boatman’s oar ;
I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping sail,
I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand
I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land.
I shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet Mill the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
So The Angel of Death shall carry ms.
A Treasure of the War.
BY AN EX-REBEL.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
When Johnston was falling back
before Sherman's advance through
North Georgia and before tbe con
flicts at Lost and fine Mountain, I
Mias continually ou tbe front with a
band of scouts. We penetrated the
Yankee lines time after time, but al
ways to return to headquarters with
the same report Sherman had one
•of the grandest armies in tbe world,
and he was in such strength that he
■ -could fight Johnston in front and
Hank him at the sams time.
One day, when scouting between
Marietta and the Etowah river, the
Federal cavalry passed and cut off my
retreat by the high ways, and for six
or seven hours I was obliged to
secrete myself in a thicket. It was
in leaving this biding place that I'
came across a dog which was doubt
less owned in tbe near vicinity, bu
had been frightened into the wo<h.s
by the skirmishing. He took to me
kindly, and had dogged my heels for
half an hour when he quickly )e pe l
aside and began pawing the ground
at the foot of a large beech. I baited
for a moment and saw that the earth
was fresh as if a grave had been dug.
It was but natural to conclude that
some one had been shot near by, and
I that his comrades bad given him
f burial.
Upon closely examining tbe tree I
A found the fresh cut initials, “D. S G. ’
I They were not where ene would have
* looked for them, but within three feet
of tbe ground. I had no doubt what
ever that a dead man rested there,
and I picked up a stick and drove the
dog away under the impression that
he was hungry and determin. <1 to got
at the body. I succeeded after a
couple of days in getting back into
the Confederate lines, and tbs inci
dent did not occur to mo for long
years.
One summer's day in 1870, while I
was going from Rome to Cartersville,
I formed the acquaintance of a strang
er who gave his name as Charles
Gains, and who claims I to be a
Virginian. He said he was looking
for improved land, and had been ad
vised to locate near Marietta. This
story was straight enough, except that
I did not believe be was a Virginian.
He hadn't the look nor the dialect,
and when I came to quiz him about
certain k cations around Richmond,
he soon became confused.
I was then a detective in the em
ploy of several railroad lines, and it
was only natural for me to ask myself
why this man had lied to me I took
pains to let him know that I was
willing to answer all his questions,
and directly he began asking about
the section of country between
Marietta ai.d the Etowah. He wanted
to know the value of laud; if much
forest had been cleared since tbe war:
if there had been any finds of treasure
around Marietta, and various othei
things. He worked tbe answers out
of me without seeming to be more
than generally interested, and while
I was somehow suspicious of him, I
could not exactly determine on what
to place my finger But he had lied.
W hy ! I kept asking myself this ques
tion but could not answer it.
He had a ticket to Cartersville, and
before we reached that plac, I had
made up tnv mind to go on with him
to Marietta. What decided me was
this: He sat on the outside of the
seat, and a passenger going to the
water cooler knocked his hat oft’.
It rested for a moment iu the aisle,
and I plainly read the name “Boston"
inside in gilt letters. Tbe name of
tbe maker was above it, but I could
not catch it. No hat sold in Rich
mond would bear the name of Boston.
Where did he get it ? Bv and by I
made a careful examination of his
boots. He never bought them south
of the Ohio. I decided tbe same in
regard to bis clothing. He was tr; -
it g to deceive me. What object
could he Lave in view ?
When we reached Marietta both of
us went to the same hotel. I thought
he began to tight shy of me and I
took pains to keep out of bis way.
Duting the evening he asked several
towns people in regard to the coun
try north of Marietta, and engaged of
a livery man a saddle-horse for next
day. I did a heap cf thinking that
night over the stranger’s case, but
when morning came 1 was none the
wiser for it. His horse was brought
around after breakfast, and lie rode
off. I was tempted to get another
and follow him hut by what right?
What had he done or what was he
going to do? I went up to my room
on an errand, not yet decided wheth
er to go or to stay, and in the ball
way my foot struck a memorandum
book. I carried it into my room, and
the first thing my eye caught was the
name inside the cover, “George
Paige.” It was a well-worn book,
and nearly full of entries. Most of
them seemed to relate to trips bet
ween Boston and Providence, but
near the back end I found one read
ing;
“About ten miles north of M irietta,
Ga.; turn to right where highway
bends to left; go into woods about
teu rods; look for twin beech tree
with initials ‘D. S. G.’ cut low
down.”
My heart gave a jump. That was
the spot where the yankee cavalry
run me into hiding, and those were
the initials I had seen on the tree!
Had this stranger come down to un
e u’th a skeleton ? I was wondering
over the matter, when I heard the
clatter of hoofs and knew that he had
returned He h: d discovered the
loss of his book. Now, th ?n, I did
wi t t >ou miy call a a i 'riik. 1
, »c>,eu .. tile b g>t d wn 5.. u.,
wiin iut being « eii a .<1 went to th
II _.uesi justice aud demi.ded a w.u
lant i'>r tbe arrest of George Paige
lor robbery. Before lie bad ceased
looking for bis lost memorandum a
constui'le made bis prisoner. Mean
while I had engaged a horse and
wagon, burrowed an > mpty tea chest
and a spade, as Paige went to jail I
drove out of town. I wanted to un
eartn that skeleton myself.
It w>is six , i.irs since I had left it,
but I i al bu little difficulty in find
ing the grave , Itho h the. Ie ch tree
bad beu cut down. Indeed, I walk
ed al io.st straight to it and though
the luiiiils were indistinct, they were
the.e as witnesses. In half an hour
I had unearthed the “corpes.” He, or
it, consi t d of a l otton coffee sack
wrapped around a mouldy blue
1 louse, and inside the blouse were
three gold watci.es, $420 in gold,
$1,203 in greenbacks, half a dozen
gold rings, a fine diamond pin, two
gold bracelets, a gold lined cup, a
full set of cameo jewelry, a solid silver
back comb, and about four pounds of
silver spoons mid forks, the whole
find being worth to me nearly SB,OOO
The stuff had been deposited there
by two or three or perhaps half a
dozen foragers, and much of it had
been stolen from the dead on the
battle fields.
When the treasure had been secur
ed I drove on to Cartersville, and
from thence sent the horse back and
telegraphed to Paige my regrets at
his situation, as I had discovered my
mistake in accusing him. He was
held a day or two and discharged
He rode out to the spot, found the
treasure gone, and left the State
without a word as to wlmt bis real
errand had bt en.
Farmer Tillman.
The Manner of Man Ik is-
Greenville News: As a matter of
fact, Mr. B. R Tillman is not a crank,
a dreamer or a demagogue. He is a
man of property and affairs, who
earns a comfortable support from the
ground he tills, and could buy and
sell most of those who attempt to
laugh at him. He is a shrewd
unpretentious, painfully practical,
bill'd headed and aggressive farmer,
and neither pretends nor aspires to
be anything else. He was one of the
hardest and loughest ot the riders of
the ’76 campaign, when hard and
rough riding was needed, and has
been since that time free iu his criti
cisms and prompt in demanding an
swers to plain questions from candi
dates. But he line never asked a
vote for anything or consented to
accept an office.
Gibson Enterprise: There lives about
two miles from this place a negro
named Dave Virden, who is a strange
looking creature. He was once as
black as the ace of spades, but sev
eral years ago white spots began to
appear on his body, and his color
has gradually changed until now be
is almost white. His features are
those of a negro, fiat nose, and thick
lips, kinky hair and small eyes, and
it seems that nature intended him
for one, but with the exception of a
few black specks upon his face, he is
as white as the average white man.
A white im.n blacked looks very odd
and comical, and this negro looks
strange and unnatural. No causa
is known for the change in his col
or, but it is likely that physicians
could explain it by writing a column
of techuichal names •
