Y D. B. FREEMAN. 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 —” and he disappeared up Congress 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 Valle', Cal.)
