SHALL I LOVE HER LESS.
What thoogh her cheek be faded now,
And care be written on her brow,
Oh, snail I love her less 7
What though her eye be dimmed h
light,
Where once there beamed a luster
bright—
Say, shall I love her less 7
What though her smile be not so gay —
Her dimples now forget to play,
Oh, shall I love her less 7
What though her steps be not so free
As when it seemed so proud to me—
Say, shall I love her less 7
What though her voice be sadder grown,
And milder be each thoughtful tone,
Oh, shall I love her less 7
What though the bloom of youth may
fade
Where once the rose in blushes staid—
Say, shall I love her less ?
Her cheek may lo9e its rosy hue,
Her lips forget its early dew—
I’ll love her none the less.
The charms of youth may fade away
Like sunbeams at the oloso of day —
I’ll love her none the less.
She came to me when morning fair
Played with her wavy silken hair,
Came then my soul to bless;
She gave to me her pure young life,
I loved her then—my virgin wife—
Now I'll not love her less !
She came to me a budding flower,
Unfolding graces every hour
In virtuous loveliness ;
She came with sweet inspiring air,
Filled my young soul with pleasures
rare,
And taught me happiness.
Thin every day she brought fresh
charms .
And laid them down within my arms,
And sought love’s pure caress ;
And though her cheek be faded now,
And care be written on her brow,
I’ll love her none the less.
For though the life she gave to me
Seemed one of angel purity,
Lost to all selfishness—
The life she proves from day to day,
Is brighter than the morning ray—
Ilow can I love her less 7
—Hartford Post.
A JOKE ON MUGGINS.
BY BROWN*.
Muggins moved into the country a
few weeks ago to spend the summer
months
He was delighted with his new home
and its surroundings—eapeoially the
landlady’s daughter
Muggins was soon dead gone, and
the girl knew it, as a matter of course.
She was furthermore, aware of the'fact,
that Muggins, with all his loose cash,
was decidedly fresh.
So she determined to get him on a
string.
One morning, when he was going to
busint'ss, she said:
“Billy, I think those lPue-checked.
suits are so becoming, dou’t you, eh 7”
Billy, of course, thought so too, and
that night he came home with a blue
checked suit on.
He used to purchase almost every
thing thac she spoke of in high terms.
He used to take her to the circus,
and he fed her -lavishly on. ice creaui,
and poured s da water into her
She pretended to be highly delighted
with Muggins’ attention.
The gay Lothario was growing des.
perate.
“Romeo scaled the garden walls to
hold converse with -Juliet,” be . mur
mured to himself, “and 1 just guess it
I don’t do anything as romantic as
that, I oan at least sit. ou the kitchen
table and watch her fry soft clams.”
Muggius wasn’t much on poetry.
He was one of those realistic fellows
who can see more in a pan cf baked
1 ans than in a basket of flowers.
So of course it bothered him cons
tiderably to frame a fitting form of pro*
posal.
He determined to propose on Sunday
afternoon, if possible.
So he asked her if she’d take a walk
with him at that time.
“Oh, yes !” said she, smilingly,
“we’ll go right down into ihe wood
land where the emerald lap of nature
is gemmed with violets, and the modest
lily hales its fragrant breath on the
mellow air.”
“Yes,” said he, “we’ll get away from
this infernal crowd, out into the coun
try where there is nothing but rail fen
ces, bulls and buttermilk ; where every
body won’t he a picking us off.”.
She considered his language highly
metaphorical; but she accepted the
proposition. When Sunday arrived,
and the church bells tolled sweetly in
the distant valley, and the boys were
wending their way into the wood stiff
legged, on account of the gun barrels
secreted in the legs of their paufaloons,
Muggins in scarlet necktie, checked
clothes, nobby beaver hat, and well
larded hair, tripped over the
verdant meadow by the tide of his fair
enslaver.
Finally they reached the woodland.
At the suggestion of Lucy Ann they
took a seat on a fallen tree.
The terrible moment at last arrived.
He wished he was a hundred miles
away from the spot.
Finally he opened :
91 TBIB 3HT *
Call)mm dimes.
“I—ah—Miss Jones, that is—l live
in Boston.”
“A beautiful plaoe, I have heard.”
“Ah,” continued Muggins with more
confidence, * how would you like to live
there 7”
“Well now,” she said abruptly, “sup
posing a thunder shower should come
up, we’ve no umbrella ; what could wo
do 7”
Muggins laughed at the idea of a
storm and continued :
“Miss Jones, you must be aware of
the fact that since we met I have
been—”
“Did you hear that buzz 7” she broke
in.
“No. dearest ? 1 he replied.
“Well, I believe there’s a hornet's
nest in this log, and we’d better get
right away.
So Muggins was cut short and they
wandered further on
Finally they reached a pond
There was a beautiful lily fl -atiug
about three yards from the store
“llow I’d like to have that to twine
io u<y hair.”
Muggins was boiling over to do some
thing to please her, so he called out:
u You shall have it, darling.”
“Oh you’re so good,” she replied.
Then Muggins tucked his pants
into his boots and waded out for the
lily.
Just as he was putting his hand on
it his heel came in contact with u piece
of fiat mossy stone on which be slipped
and, in trying to regain his balance,
he went floundering into the deep wa
ter
When he came to the surface his hat
and wig were floating far from him and
he looked so ludicrous that Lucy Ann
could not help laughing outright.
Then Muggins got madand called her
a red headed wench.
She fairly roved at the insult, and
determined to get square.
Just then some strolleis emerged from
the shrubbery and wanted to know
what wes the matter
Muggins got red in the face and said
he slipped in.
Then they fished him out with poles.
At the supper table that night Mug
gins made the same excuse.
The table was crowded.
“Don’t vou believe a word of it,”
screamed Lucy Ann, excitedly, “he at*
tempted to commit suicide because I
rejected him, tjie addlepated pup ”
Then there was a long, loud laugh.,
Muggins was livid with ra’ge, but he
was afraid to deny what Bhe said as
there were a number of aspirants for her
hand around.
On the following morning he squared
his board bill aud left for parts un
known.—lllustrated New Yorker.
A Touch of Nature —A young
man ..who called on South B street la
dy a few nights ago was informed by
the matron of the house that her daugh
ter was putting the children to bed, but
would be in presently, and she left the
young man alone in the parlor. Just
then three little things came rus*UDg
into the room clad in the costume gen
erally noticeable in the cherubs and cu
pids that dance along the corners of
valentines and marriage certificates.—
They rushed right in and began c ionis
ing up on the-young maji’s knees-They
had evidently just come from the bath,
and their white skins were slippery with
soap suds.
“Oh, Charley! Did oo turn to see
sister Lucy 7”
“Say—tan’t we stay up and watch
yofl play tards and dominoes 7”
While these damp divinities of the
nursery were diving themselw s tin his
lavender pants, sister Lucy came in,
and the way she snatched those three
young ones out into an adjoining room
and laid down the household...law with
the back of a hair-brush; made the
young man’s blood run cold.— Virginia
Chronicle.
Eflect of Astonishment.
He walked iuto the drug store and
said :
“Gim me a glass of that sody.”
“What syrup will you have 7” asked
the boy.
“Syrup ! I don’t want any syrup. I
want sody.”
The boy put the glass under the
faucet and turned on the soda water
full head. As it struck the glass with
a hissing noise the stranger said :
“Gosh all Jerusalem, what’s that ?”
and starting backwards fell over a stool
aud as be tried to get up he brushed
agaiusta perfumery stand, which caused
it to fall off and strike him on the back
of the head. At the same time the
boy, thinking something serious had
happened, dropped the glass on the
marble counter, breaking it into nine
ty-nine pieces.
The stiauger, with his hand to the
back of his head, and his eyes protru
ding with fright, started for the street
at a rate of twenty miles an hour, and
ran plumb into the arms of a police
man, who collared him and said :
“What’s the matter 7”
“Matter!” said the stranger, “why
the drug store has exploded, and I am
the only man saved.”
m
Stonewall Jackson was one of the
most courteous men imaginable. His
wife says: “He never passed a lady
on the street, whether stranger or not,
without raising his hat. One thing I
remember of him : he never looked
into a room that he happened to pass
when the door was open—not even my
own.”
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 2. 1877/
ARRtAQEDAOBT.
The Eastern War and Prophecies
to bo Fulfilled.
In view of the impending conflict in
Europe, the following may interest
your readers:
About thirty years ago, a gentleman
residing in Middle Tennessee, and at
the time at the head of one of the
largest and most prosperous institutions
of learning in the South, published
what purports to be a true interpreta
tion of the prophecies contained in the
Bible, The work created a profound
sensation, for the author was well
known as being incomparable as a He
brew and Greek schola’r, and was re
spected by theologians everywhere be
cause of his thorough knowledge of ihe
sacred writings In iiis work he agrees
with all the eminent commentators up
| to a oe tain period at’fcei which his in
i' let pi etalmus are eut irely different Prom
any ever made, and his arguments to
sustain them are unique and h’ghly in
teresting. It is remarkable that Don
Castellar, the great Spanish statesman,
in a brilliant article published in the
New York Herald r irty last year, takes
the same ground and entertains the
same opinions that the author to whom
l have alluded does in regard to the f
-of this country and the conflict
now commencing in Europe. That these
two men should entertain the same
vit-ws fr in positions differing so widely,
is, to say the least, a reurarkaole coin
cidence But wh it I wish to call your
attention to at this time is the follow
ing remarkable interpretation of one of
the prophecies of Ezekiel : “The
Kings of the South shall push or butt
at him, and the King of the Nortn
shall come against himi.ke awhirlwiud.
with chariots aud with many ships.”—
Russia is the power which the King of
the South is to ‘ push ” The Kiug of
the South is Turkey, on the south of
Russia, and the King of the North is
Great Britain. This is evident, he
says, fiom its northern position as a
great power, and from the immense na
val, as well as land forces, it possesses.
He says the attack of England, or
Great Britain, on Russia, is to be great
and furious but finally unsuccessful ;
fo; Russia will move right on and more
than gain her purpose. She will con.
quer Asia Minor and the Turkish Em
pire geweraffy?*<iHrill advance on Pal
estine, and “shall have power over
treaaures of gold ant} SfegL, and.„over
all the precious things of Egypt”—
While engaged in these conquests, “ti
dings out of the East and out of the
North shall trouble him.” The tidings
from the East and the North may be
the news of the disaflections of the
Papal power on account of the superi
ority which Russia gives to th‘* Greek
Church, and on account of holy places
io Judea. The word ti lings seems also,
he says, to indicate great insurrections.
He is positive that the Russian empire
has two groat works to do: the first is
to destroy the Roman church in Eu
rope, and the other to attack the Uni
ted States. He also states in his book
that before the war begins for the con,
quest and annihilation of Turkey, fcae
French peop’e would establish a Re<-
public, and assist the United States at
(he time Russia makes the attack. Ac'
cording to this writer, the {resent
in Europe will become generai, and be
the most fearful the world , has ever
witnessed, and is to tike place before
the 117th day t of the e-.;r IS7B —.4us
tin (Texas') Statesman.
Life In Texas,
Anew comer in a Texas town always
enjoys himself. After spending a short
time looking around the place, he grows
,weary .and finally asks the clerk of the
hotel if there is any chance of having
fur. that day. And the clerk, scratch
ing his head a momeDt, soys: “Well
I dunuo ; I reckon we can get up aomer
thing for you before night. Haven’t
been shot at yet. have you ? No 7 Oh,
wcl'. you will be soon. Just loaf around
the si reels a little while, and even if
you ain’t shot at yourself, you can dodge
the bullets intended for some other per
son. May be y it might object to its
coming if that way —sort o’ second
hand, you know ; and, if you do, why
wait a little while, and [’ll go out with
yon, and l guess we can get up s >me
thing real lively ” Two minutes after
ward that man is studying the time ta
ble for tue leaving time of the next
train, and not even the clerk’s promise
to let him carry the revolver that he
shot a rnau with last week can keep the
guest in town over right. Scene at a
hotel—“ Good morning, stranger, it
looks like raie.” Stranger—“l think
not.” A shot is heard, and the etran
ger is seen rolling out of the back
door
The N r vrspAPEß. A newspaper
taken in a family seems to shed a gleam
of intelligence around. It gives the
children a taste for reading—it com
municates all the important events that
are passing in the busy world—and fur
nishes a fund of instruction that will
never be exhausted. Every family
however poor, if they wish to hold a
place in the ranks of intelligent beings,
should take at least one newspaper.—
And the man, who possessed of prop
erty sufficient to make him easy for life,
ami surrounded by children eager for
knowledge is instigated,by the vile spir
it of cupidity, and neglects to subscribe
to a newspaper, is deficient in the du
ties of a parent or a good citizen, and
is deserving of censure from his intel*
ligent neighbors.
THE MBMDWIA.
What it la, and the Necessity of
its Occupation by Russia.
The report of a Russian cavalry and
artillery advance into the Dobrodscha,
and that two of the Muscovite army
corps are destined to work there, ren
ders a description of the country
able. The occupation of this stre'ch
of country, where, in former cam
paigns, countless Russians have laid
down their lives—the bones of at least
100,000 of them lie in the marshes—
is most important before any geueral
attafck along the whole line. The Pruth
empties only twelve miles to the east
of G <latz. The intervening terrain is
no place in which to conduct a earn
paigu, since as *ar ft.- the eye Cau reach
it sees ouly lakes aud swamps, aud in
early spring, when the Danube over
flows, the laudsoape becomes one stretch
of water, from which only here and
there the hilltops rise like islands. Be
yond the mouth of the Pruth as far as
Tultscha the outlook i* similat from the
city of lieni. Far extending lakes,
into which the streams of the nort h dis
embogue, must hinder military opera
tions. On the west from Gaia z, where
the Sereth with its many tributaries
empties into the Danube, the pruspect is
equally hazardous, but all these aruw
buoka tail to render the occupation of
Guiatz leaa impurtuat and desirable
irorn the Russian point of view since
—aud this should he- s rongly noted—
Gatatz is the ou.y place in the long ex
tout ol tile river fr m Kalafat to its
-uouth from winch the Turkish shore
cau he dominated. 'ihe northernmost
part of the Dobrod.-eba is as fl it a buaid
with the exception of a very small por
tion occupied oy Tartars At the dis
tance oi a day’s march vise the low, :
round “Heights ot Bahadagh, ’ wner , j
as it seems, in the worst case, the IVis
siaus would come up*>u the first Turk- I
ish position. At Ibrait, twelve el e '
up the liver from Galatz, hattfio
would be in an excellent position t >
keep off the Turkish monitors. The
nearest danger to parties wishiug to op<
erate from the west side of the city of
Galatz is Dort, immediately above the
railway station, where lies the muddy
side of the raviue on which the ter
races of the city ace built; yet even
here there isTOoiiu for the establishment
of defensive works; consequently, with
the best of actual fighting— for strategy
here seems to be at fault—it would be
most difficult to occupy the place. The
subjugation of the Dobrodscha as an
introduction to the war is tvideutl* as
necessary as it seemed to General Geis
mar during the troubles of 1828- 29,
when he made it the fundamental idea
of the plan of the war.
His Postal Card.
At ten o’clock yesterday forenoon a
man wearing a doubtful look appeared
at the stamp clerk’s window in the post
office and asked for a postal card aud
facilities for writing. He was a long
time getting ready to put his pen to the
card, and he had only made a smoke or
two when he called out : .
“How do you spell ‘Jim ?’ ”
“Why J-i-m, of course,” answered
the clerk.
“Don’t look, as if it was right,” said |
tho mao, as he held up. the card and j
set utiuued the word. * Cjureyou haven t
uu.de any mistake l
“That's the of course,” growled
a by-stuuder. “How else can you spell
the name 7”
“That’s so—how could I7” smiled
the man as he looked again. “I’ll put
J-i-m against any other style oi spoil
ing every time. Now, his other name
is—is —. Well, knock me down if I
haven’t forgotten ! Why, hang it, I
baveknown him for ten years, and now
1 can't think of his name ! Jim—Jiui
—Jim —J-i-m—yum !”
He looked around in a helpless way,
and one of the small crowd finally
said :
“You can write the message and think
of ihe name afterwards.”
“So l can. 1 want to siy to him
that his wile is sick abed, his landloid
is howling around for rout, and that
he'd better come home, 110 vdo you
spell it 7”
“I’ll write it,” answered the clerk.
‘He couldn’t read your sliearugra*
phy,” said the stranger. “Jim isn't
much on education and l have to write |
just as poorly as 1 can or he couldn't •
make out a word. Less see ! Do i j
want to start off with P 8., or what V j
“I should say ; You are wanted to |
home to oDce,” il it was me,” suggested j
a c. r-driver who was after a stamp
“’Twouldn’t do,” sighed the man, (
shaking his head, •*! woulin’t dare
spring the thing on him suddenly, or
he’d make for Canada. The place to
tell him to come home is down here at
the bott >m.”
“Where is he someone asked.
“Why, ij—in—in—why, blister my
ears— why— !”
“i’ll bet you’ve forgotten the place I”
shouted the car-driver.
“J-i.m, Jim—J.d-rn. Jim, and he’s
in—in—J-i-m, Jim !” gasped the man
as be looked around with an appeal in
his eyes.
The crowd mentioned twenty differ
ent places, but he shook his head at
each one.
“If you cao’t think o&bis name, and
can't remember his address, how are
you going to send the card 7” asked the
clerk.
“That’s so—how am I 7” sighed the
man “If you was me you wouldo t
send it, would you ?”
“I don’t think I would.*’
“Then I won’t. If his wife can think
of hs name and the place wh .re he is
she’d better write it.”
When he walked away he carried his
hat in one hand and scratched his head
with the other, aud muttered :
“J-i-ui with a great big *V and
Blister my ears with a great big *B
end I ought to have written bis name
<i wn on the d> or or somewhere. —
ijc-'s see ! J-i-m. and he’s i-n in—in

street. — Free Press.
The Most Wonderful of Trees.
A singularly beautiful s ; ght in fiuit
growing is presented in the orchard of
Dr. Harris, and attra.rs the attention
and admiration of almost every passer
by. A large apple tree standing hear
his dwelling was left last autumn with
the fruit ungathered, for the birds, the
Doctor said. At this writing a large
number of handsome golden*colored
apples adorn the tree, while the fra
grant white and piuk blossoms seem
begging for room to start anew crop.
The green foliage, now well advanced,
crowns the whole—together a spectacle
rarely seen away from our favored laud.
It was from this tree, in the month of
April, some years since, that a visiting
friend from Ohio gathered and ate
charming fruit and wrote an account of
the circumstance to his friends. In due
time hn letter was answered, containing
the assurance that though he had left
his State a proper, truth-tel ling man,
he was now.just like the rest of the
Californians, and C at his reputation in
Ohio fc.r truth wasgdue forever — Crass
