TIMES DARLING IS DEAD-
From out of the crystal snow,
A year ago,
Thu angels made her ;
And the sentinel stars of night;
Gave his blue-eyed darling light;
Then they pillaged the moou of her crown
To fashion a pure white gown ;
Aud they circled her waist amain
With the wisp of a comet's train.
From ont of the eastern gray
Os a uew born day
They took a strand ;
And they bound the silver line ;
With a ray of the sun’s decline; .
And they wove them well in a loom,
The threads of hope and of doom,
Till they formed a beautiful car
Made fast to a meteor star.
Then down from the gates above
A bit of love,
Biie came to his hand ;
But the crimson and silver were one,
Aud his hopes but a mist in the aim.
The clouds in their sorrow may weep,
While the stars no more vigilance keep,
As they search on planet and sphere
For his darling, the dying year;
But they wander and weary in vain,
To restore the living again ;
For under the crystal snow,
A night ago,
The angels laid her.

and is recognized as one of the lead
ing educators of the day. With long
experience and a life devoted almost
exclusively to the promotion of the
educational interest, and to make a
long story short, be is the right num

has no room for her fantastic work.

proud.

A SAD SPECTACLE
IN THK LOWELL OF THE SOUTH AS VIEWED
BY A REPORTER OF THE MACON TELB
ORAPH'
Augusta, January 9.— A most sor
rowful spectacle was witnessed this
afternoon by your correspondent. la
a low, dirtv hovel in the southern
portion of the city, he, accompanied
by Coroner Piquet, found an old ne
gro man and woman and four chil
dren. The man and wife wer o sitting
in the centre of the room, hugging
close to each other to keep warm,
there not being a spark of fire or any
wood in the house. On an old mat
tress lying near was the body of a
child, who had just died from expos
ure to cold. On another, covered by
a (uttered blanket, were three others,
shiveridg with cold and seriously ill.
All were entirely hopeless, and seem
ed to be awaiting death to relieve
their sufferings. They hud nothing
to eat since yesterday, and were al
most starving.
A doctor was culled in, who pre
scribed for the sick children, and
wood and food were given them. The
dead child was taken out and buried.
This is the saddest case that hns
ever been brought to the knowledge
of the officiu s, ami if it had been re
ported before, the family would have
been provided for and tlrn suffering
prevented.
Atlanta Capitol: If every men who
bribed voters in the State of Georgia
on Wednesday were punished accord
ing to law, “What, shall we do with
our convicts?” would be a big ques
tion indeed. A debauched and pur
chasable suffrage is a curse to this,
country, and there is no telling what
it is going to lend to.
