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 • J. R. KIDWELL, 1,026 Broad St., Augusta, Go.
