Linos bjr a Prisoner.
When any creature accustomed to liberty is
caught
And eon fined in soni® jail, pen or cag*»,
Tis but in nature's ordinary coufte that
thought
Should its mind (if any it hath), engage ;
Nor is ft in his power from thoughts to re
frain,
E’en though they render his condition
more abstruse;
Though they are to him vainest of the vain
They might by some be put to us«.
’Tin oft that idlers by, in taking a walk,
Ask me if I will not go along.
They should know ’tis folly thus to talk-r-
E«n more silly than the summer duck's
song.
Brains would scarce expect one situated like
me
To go on any kind of a jaunt.
Perchance ignorance doth not misfortune
* see,
Or seeing, oflfereth a mean and puerile
» tnunt.
Those whose mouths spread their face all
o’er,
Should keep them locked or barred full
well;
(First having hung thereon, a door)
Lest their tongue some hurtful thing
should tell.
This lesson ’tis well to learn whilst young,
’Twill give in life a much better start—
“ A fool s heart is always in his tongue,
A wise man’s tongue always in his heart.”
Many arc endowed with such puerile brains,
And those brains by such thick skulla con
fined ;
It requires searcliing’to use tlie'greateet
pains,
To find them actually possessed of a mind.
A pity too that so many are thus deficit,
And that a few doia all tin brains pos
sess.
Wasting too their time in being sufficiently
explicit,
A fair sensible ideas an weak minds to im
press.
Tongues arc a dangerous class of toals,
And siuce ’tip our Heavenly Father’s will,
That they should be fixed in the mouths of
fools.
Pity ’tis they can't keep them still.
Whilst it is but in nature’s order for things
to increase,
Tis in many instances to be pitied.
Since foolish, prattling tongues will never
cevse,
The’world must end before of folly tis ac
quitted.
I’d merely frame a cap to fit the silly,
Or perchance smarter, though still idle
jades;
My remarks shall net apply to the lily ,
Nor to those joined in her promenades.
If R. & M. will kindly put this in print,
Though it doth not of eloquence savor;
Some perchance may take an useful hint,
\nd the’ II have d.>ne l luim itoner a favor.
MY WIDOW.
BY t ill MA Y BROWNE.
Jones advises uie not to marry her —
he said she was too young and pretty.
Farnum advised me to remain an old
bachelor —told me a man past forty sirn
ply made a fool of himseli by matri
mony.
Tewksbury —a man who is notorious
for never minding his own business —
told me she a love affair with
Harry Birmingham before he v/en f West.
Allen shook his head, and s’.id Clara
Myers might be very pretty j but he
liked'somebedy maturcr and^more'set
tled. (N, 13. —lie married his house
keeper the next week, and she is ma
ture enough for Methusalah himself!
Everybody thought I was trying a
dangerous experiment, but I didn’t pre
tend to suit everybody—so I sim
ply suited myself, I went quietly to
church with Clara Myers and married
her one glorious B January morning, w hen
the »ves of St. Paul’s were fringed with
glittering ieieles, and the brisk wind
was freighted with particles of flying
snow, like a battalion of diamonds on
the double quick.
She was nineteen and 1 was nine and
thirty. She was as beautiful as a rose
bud, with a shy, pretty way, like a
timid child, and Ia rough old codger,
sound enough at heart, but like a win
ter apple, unpromising on the exterior.
In sho.t, we were as unlike as May
and November, and the good na
tuved world shook its head, ands id,
- No good could come of such an equal
match.” But she said she loved mi,
and 1 believed her. Nobody could look
into Clara’s blue eyes and not believe j
her, you see. !
And the next and y I made a will, and |
bequeathed all my property, uucoudi- j
ti n dly, to my wife
• l Are you sure you are doing a j
thing, Mr. Folliott?” said Msrdyu, the
lawyer, pushing his spectacles upon
his forehead, until he looked like*bald
old gnome, with a double pair of eyes.
■ You see she is very much younger
than yourself |a.'.d — ’
*• { lease to be so kindjis to mind
your own business,’’ said I, brusquely
-Don’t be offended,!said Mardyn, in a
rage. “lam a mere tool iu your
hands *
“ r i hat’s it exactly,” said I. So I
signed the will aud went Clara.
‘ : oh, Paul, you must not die f said
Clara; with a sacred look, when I told
her what l had doue “Nobody ever
loved me as truly and generously as you
have done, and 1 don't know what I
should do if you were taken away !”
“ There was a young Birmingham,
if all repo ts were Irue —I mischiev
ously began, but the curl on Clara’s lip
stopped me
- A mere butteifiy,” she said haught
ily, “ without either brains or principle.
Paul, Paul, I have found a shelter in
your true, loving heart, and I mean to
nestle there always !”
And then she cried —th s foolish soft
hearted little wife of mine.
Jones and Tewksbury might have
1 called this policy. Farnurn would have
| said it was acting. But it was very
plea.-ant. and I felt more than ever like
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1872.
a man who has found some precious
jewel, and wears it, like au amulet, on
his breast.
So things went on until the firm of
which I was managing partner, need to
send someone to Calcutta to see after a
turbaned scoundrel of an agent, who
had absconded with more money than
wc could well afford to loose.
Morrison wis old and fqeble—Hew
itt’s wife lay very ill, so I the one
to go. I kissed Clara good bye as cheer
fully as I could, fully expecting to be
back in three months. 33ut you know
the French adage : ‘-Thouime, proposo.
et Dieu dispose !”
I had to follow the agent up in the
mountains of India. 1 fell ill of one
of those burning climate fevers in the
bungalow of an old native priest, and
months flew by, until it was more than
a year before I found myself on the
deck of the “Blue-eyed Mary,” steam
ing into New York harbor.
And, all this time, Clara had never
heard a word from me.
I had written to her to prepare her
for what seemed almost like my rising
from the dead, but I had afterwards
found my letters in the pocket of the
neglectful native servant who had un
d;rtaken to deliver the mails to the Cal
cutta office.
“ But it don’t matter so much now,”
1 thought, “she will be the more de
lighted, poor little girl.”
And theli a cold chill seemed to creep
through all my veins, like a November’s
wind suddenly breathing across a bed
of flowers.
Clara had heard nothing of me for
nearly fifteen months—what might not
have happened in that time ? All that
Tewksbury, and Jones, and all the other
prophetic ravens of my acquaintance h id
said, recurred to my mind like the bur
den of an uneasy dream I had been
counting the days, the hours, the very
minutes until we should touch port; but
now that my fe rt t rang once more upon
the pavements of my native city. I
actually dared not go home.
1 turned into a down town restaurant,
where I had been wont to go, in the
days of my bachelorhood, and slunk in
that dark corner ; the twilight was just
falling, and I was sheltered by the par
tition
llusli !—that was Tewabury’s voice,
harsh and jarring as of old
“Just what might have been expected,
said Tewsbury. “ Pretty and young
ketF
“ Fulliolt might have known it,”
growled old Farnum. “ Poor Fuliiott!
there was some good points about him,
too. Sad thing, that, very sad thing!”
“ We must all die,” said Tewsbury,
gravely.
“ Yes, but a fellow would naturally
pit for dying in his bed to being carried
off by an East Indian fever and buried
in the jungles !”
I shuddered. Had I then come home
to my own funeral as it were l
“ And she’s going to marry young
Birmingham, after all,” added Far
nuin.
The paper dropped from my hand.
I could have told Fuliiott so. when
1 found out what- a confounded idiotic
will he had made,” said Tewksbury.—-
“So gold lias fallen again. Just my
luck ; I sold out to-night I”
I stayed to hear no more, but stag
gering out in the darkness with one
idea whirling thro’jmy dizzy brain —my
Clara was mine no longer!
It was questionable what Tewksbury
had said. 1 might have anticipated
sonic such end. She was too young,
too lovely for such a rough old fellow as
I was. My widow —what a curious
sensation the words gave me as i men
tally pronounced them
Under my own windows* with the
ruby-red light shining through wine
colored damask curtains, I stood there
feeling as Rip Van Winkle might have
felt in the play—like .a dead man walk
ing on the earth once more. Voices and
lights were within I opened the door
softly and crept into the hall.
The drawing room door was ajar.
Clara, herself, stood before the fire, in
deep black robe*, with a frill of white
crape on her auburn gold tresses —the
awful sign and symbol of 1 e.* widow
hood. Directly stood Harry
Birmingham, lo Aingdiab Really young
and handsome in the soft gas 1 ght.
“Clara, Clara.” he cried, “you surely
are not in earnest Vou will recon
sider !”
“My answer is final,” responded.
“ The time might once have been when
I fancied I had a childish liking for
you. Harry Birmingham, but that time
has 1 ng since passed away. I gave my
heart to the noblest m: n that ever lived
Paul Fuliiott —and in his grave it i*
forever buried I loved him once, and
I shall love him on into eternity. I
never was half worthy of him but—
/• nd Clara’s voice was choked with
sob*
4 My love ! my darling! my or. n pre
cious wife !”
lie w I ever got into the roc m—how I
managed to make Clara couiprelu a J that
1 was my own living self, and net a
ghost arisen from the shadow of the
sepulchre, I cannot tell —neither can
she—but I know that young Birming
ham somehow disappeared, and I was
standing with Clara clasped to my breast,
the happiest man that ever breathed
God’s blessed air.
For J->ues, Tewksbury, Farnum A;
Cos. were all wrong; aud to use the
words of the orthodox fairy stories,
slightly paraphrased. I and toy widow
lived happily ever afterwards.

Atlanta Manufactures—— How they I
Can be Established.
BY E. 11. x
1 hey can be established by a combi
nation of capital, and they can be sue
cessfully maintained provided the man
ufacturer can have a regular supply of
cheap coal. They cannot be maintained
without cheap fuel, cheap motive power
with which to propel, machinery. At- !
lanta cannot become a manufacturing
city with her present rate for coal. She
cannot compete successfully with North
ern manufacturers under existing cir
cumstances. She must have cheap coal,
cheaper even than that supplied to a
majority of her competitors. Can she
have this? Its important cannot be
overestimated.
Cheap coal, as the means of creative
wealth, has never been equaled by «my
power within the control of man/
A cheap and constant supply of this
wealth-producing power, is the most re
liable means of prosperity ever yet be
stowed upon a people.
Cheap coal has made England the
first commercial power in the world.
Cheap coah with her admirable sys
tem of railroads, has made Philadelphia
the leading manufacturing city on this
continent.
Cheap coal if; the foundation of the
wonderful growth and consequent great
wealth gs Pittsburg. ■
Cheap coal has made Cincinnati the
Queen City of the West.
Cheap coal has made Cleveland the
competitor, and is rapidly making her
the peer of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and
Cincinnati in solid wealth and power.
St. Louis, the young giant of the
west, fully alive to the importance and
absolute necessity for cheap coal in or
der to establish and successfully main-,
tain manufactures, is making Herculean
efforts to sticure a constant and cheap
supply of this Samson of modern de
velopment.
A constant and ample supply of
cheap coal will make Atlanta the lead
ing interior city of the whole South.—
Can she have it with her present rail
way system ?
We maintain that slic cannot, and will
give our reasons for this conclusion.
Our existing railways in our mineral
regions have cost thirty thousand dollars
per mile. These section*;, in fact the*
whole South, has but one partially de
veloped interest, that of apiculture, and
ygfit'’Dtls5 11 iflStsV" &l rtr itt vrdcr vrr‘qmj
operating expenses and interest account
they are necessarily compelled to charge
very high rates oirall their business
They cannot possibly give cheap freights
and maintain themselves.
This entails high rates on both coal
and iron, and instead of developing
these wealth-producing sinews, absolute
ly locks them up in our hills and moun
tains.
What, then, is the remedy ? Evident
ly a cheaper class of railways that cun
afford lower rates of freight than our
present system, and at the same time
pay operating expenses and interest ac
count. -4
The narrow gauge railway wiil accom
plish this, desirable end. Costing not
exceeding one-half of the broad gauge
for construction, and 20 to 25 per cent,
less to operate, they can afford to work
at correspondingly low rates.
Let us test the two gauges by figures.
Assuming that the Alabama coal fields
are distant from Atlanta 185 miles, let
us see the difference in the cost of trans
portation on a ton of coal from the mines
to Atlanta.
Qn Northern roads, which are admit
ted to be better prepared to transport
freights cheaply than are those of the
South, the estimated cost of transporting
freight is one and a half cents per ton
per mile. On Southern roads it is
greater than this, but we will estimate
it to be the saaie It wiH’cost,“then,
to move one ton of coal from the mines
to Atlanta, 135 miles, $2 024 per ton,
or sls 20 per ear load of eight tons.
It should be borne in mind that these
coal cars will ip a large majority of
cases, be returned to the mines empty.-
thus largely increasing the cost of trans
portation of the coal.
The cost of transp station by the
narrow gauge does not exceed one cent
per ton per mile.
The cost of trDisporting one ton of
coal 135 miles by the narrow gauge will
be $1 35 or $lO 80 per car lomd of
eight tons, a saving of $5 40 per car
: load, in favor of the narrow gauge.
When we consider that the same rela
i tive saving would be effected on all oth
j er freights moved over the line, the
question assumes an importance that we
! cannot in justice to ourselves ignore
, L*t us suppose that Atlanta had an un
broken line of narrow gauge ro id to
Eastport on the Tennessee river, at the
fu?t of the Muscle Shoals, navigable for
steao*prg of the largest class at all sea
sons of the year to that point, and this
road penetrating the coal and iron*bank»
of Alabama, giving cheaper rates for
Western produce and coal and iroi than
I competing broad gauge linen could pos
sibly do ; would not Atlanta merchants
; aud manufacturers occupy a very envia
ble position ?
i Would her future then be doubtful ?
. With u cheap Tiue of railway to East- i
port, owned and contruledl bv herself
and citizens, connecting at that point j
with steamers with their low water rates :
to all parts of the "West and Northwest,
her future would no h uger be in doubt
but would be far better'than that of any
[ interior city in the great cotton belt,
j This cheap line of railway with its
i cheap rates would offer to the people, on
its line lower rates to Atlanta than any
competing broad gauge could offer to
tht mi to a point equidistant, and hence
Atlanta would become their favorite
market in which to sell their products.
Atlanta merchants and manufacturers
would be able to supply that section
with dry goods, groceries, hardwars, etc.,
etc., at less rates than by any competing
broad gauge line. This, then, will give
AtL-ttta the absolute control of that sec
tion.
These are serious questions to Atlan
ta and her business men, and it behooves
them to give them a careful and earnest
consideration, for city’s future pro
gress depends upon the decision.
Unquestionably, if Atlanta can build
a hi oad gauge road to Biradugham, she
can build a narrow gauge via Birming
ham to Enstport.

Boys will be boys. They can’t help it.
They are born so. It is their destiny
to tear their trowsers and wear out two
pair of boots per month ; keeping their
ma constantly employed like a besieged
garrison repairing breeches, and their
unfortunate pa paying out currency, un
der strong conviction that there is noth
ing like “ leather ” —to wear out.
I tried copper toed boots on my heir.
That copper wore well, aud I have an
idea, that copper boots would be good,
but I could not find a metallic shoemaker
to carry it out.
Mrs. O’L has also became attached to
copper, and thought it would be an im
provement on sewing if boys pantaloons
were like ships and tea kettles, copper
bottomed. The suggestion was a No. 1
but we haven’t tried it yet.
Copper so ran in my head at the time
that O’Pake called me a copperhead.
This was the origin of the term.
Mrs. O’L is a managing woman. She

Themistocles, out of mine, when I get

I once suggested that it might be
within the resoureesof art and industry
to make him a pair out of new material.
Mrs. O’L. said positively that it
couldn’t be done. It would ruin us. —
She concluded to cut up a pair I had
paid #l2 for.
I subsequently found upon inquiry
that cloth for that purpose could have
been bought for about two dollars.
I ventured to tell Airs. O’L. expect
ing a triumph of male foresight over a
female lack of judgment.
She gave me a look of scorn, as she
wanted to know if I had asked the price
of “ trimmings.”
Trimmings ware too much for me.
I have btfen afraid of trimmings ever
since.
Trimmings I suppose means buttons
and things.
In addition to clothes, the scion of
our house runs up other expenses
But what is the expenses compared
with the joy a father feels when after a
day’s laborious exercise at the office,
wrestling with a steel pen he returns to
his domestic retreat and is met at the
gate by a smiling cherubim who in tones
that go to his fond parent’s heart and
make him forget his troubles, with
“ Hello, pa give me a penny ”
Your hand instinctively goes to the
seat of your affections, your pockets and
draws forth coveted coin, which is
promptly invested in molasses candy.
Thi Great Vjboimia Pioidn
Roost - Sportsmen are usvr having an
exciting time in Buckingham county,
A r a A correspondent, writing under
date of the 16th instant, describes the
•• pigeon roost ” on the old furnace lauds,
near Cantou. He says :
4 - The area of the roost is four square
miles, and to one who never saw a sight
of the kind it is truly amazing. From
one hour of sun until night the air is
darkened with countless thousands of
the birds flying from all direction (south
of the river) inward to the roost. There
is a grandeur indescribable i» the mourn
ful sound of the rushing wings as the
trackless armies.marshalled in the’view
less wind,’ come sweeping to th ir biv
ouac. But the evening sight is not to
be compared to that of the morning when
the pigeons are leaving the roost. Ilii
ing upward from the bushes like col
umns of blue smoko, the morning sun
paints them with rainbow tints, ar.d a
esuopy overshadows the woods like the
sulphurious clouds above a battlefded.
Wheeling in gra.it divisions ic the air
they divide, each army to ite leader, and
that heavens arrow lighter, as they d:ssp
pear to refill their craws with acorns.

A Startling Answer. —A story is
told of h teacher who was talking to her
scholars regarding the ordr;r of the high
er being. It was a very profitable sub
ject and oue in which the children took
ats uncommon interest. She told thorn
that the angels camefirst in perfection,
and when she asked them who came
next and was readily answered by one
boy, “ Man 1” she felt encouraged to ask :
''What comes next to man ?”
And a little shaver, who was evident
ly smarting under u defeat in the pre
ceding question, immediately distanced
all competition by promptly shouting : j
“His undershirt, ma’am.”
I Will Not. —‘ I will not,” said a
little boy stoutly, as I passed along.—
The tone of the voice struck me.
“What won't you do?” I stopped
and asked.
“That hoy wants me to make believe
something to iny mother, and I won’t!
he answered in the same stout tone.
That is one of the right places to say
“ I won’t,” and I hope he will stick tc.
it. Will our young readers copy his ex
ample ?

«*I AM afraid you will come to want,"
said an old lady to a young gentlemen.
“I have come to that already,” was
the reply ; “I want your daughter.”
The old lady opened her eyes.
