Decoration Day.
[The following beautiful verses were sung
as a hynra at the decoration of the graves
in the churchyard at Lexington, Va.. in
1869. The writer, Mrs. M. J. Preston, is
one of the noblest women of the South, and
her appropriate stanzas speak to tho hearts
of us all:]
Past the clash and clang of battle—
Past the terrors, trials, fears—
Past the deadly roar and rattle,
Yet we meet in tears.
Not a shout of exultation
Breaks the sobbing silenco deep ;
On the death day of & nation
Is it strange we weep ?
But the homage sad we render,
Softens with a proud relief,
And a solemn joy and tender
Mingles with our grief.
Oh, the heroes wrested from us
IIav« not lived and died in vain ;
For their memories’ vow of promise
Spans out years of pain.
Countless eyes have conned their story—
Countless hearts grow brave thereby ;
Let us thank the God of Glory,
We had such to die !
Where had been the Church's honor,
When the overwhelming flood
Os her foes rush fierce upon,
But for martyrs’ blood?
Where the lofty acclamations,
O’er tho wrench of thraldom’s chain?
Where the grandeur of the nations.
But for patriots slain ?
Shall we then in sad procession-
Heads bowed low upon the breast—
Oaly bring our tears to freshen
Graves where heroes rest ?
Rather lay the rose and laurel,
Glad with dew above the sod—•
Learn their lives’ majestic moral,
Walt and trust in God!
Only a Woman’s Hair.
Theodore Town ell, Esq , merchant,
was retiring from business, looking over
his papers, and winding up his affairs,
preparatory to his leaving his town house
and settling, “ for life," at his pleasant
country seat in Sussex. For life,” he
s»id, and his friends said for him. And
yet Theodore Powncll, though upright,
stiong and handsome, still, might with
propriety have been called by the rising
generation around him “an old man.”
The soft brown curls that fringed his
lofty brow showed few silvery threads
among their luxuriance, it i r true. But,
for all that, Mr. Pownell was sixty-one
on the day of which I write, and had
seen most of his early companions and
friends fade away from his path to life,
as he went forward, vigorous, success
ful and strong.
Having no longer to take stock of his
extensive business operations, Mr. Pow
nell, at the close of a fatiguing day spent
in his late partner’s office over the ad
justment of their joint account, was
amusing himself by taking stock of the
past life which had now come so satis
factorily, but for ever, to an end.
Amusing himself, did I say ? Nay,
his face was grave, and even sad, as he
busied himself with the contents of a
desk and safe that stood, always locked,
in the apaituient he ealled his “ study
at home Letters, papers, bills, and re
ceipts had been looked over and put or
derly away.
Mr. Pownell paused, to rest for a few
moments in his work.
It was summer, and the windows of
the study were open. The house front
ed upon a square, and had a garden at
the back. Through the windows he
could see tha waving of the trees, rfnd
hear the sound of light laughter and
merry voices. His daughter, Georgia,
was walking in the garden, with two of
her young lady friends. 110 could see
her well from where he sat. Truly she
was a beautiful girl, with her jet black
hair and large dark eyes, her stately fig
ure, and her rich brunette complexion.
Very like her mother, whom he had
married solely for her beauty and grace,
twenty years ago.
And then Mr. Pownell sighed. This
is a scandalous world, as we all know,
to our sorrow. Mrs. Grundy has dived
deep into Mr. Pennell's private history
long ere this, and had always averred
that Mrs. Pownell. with all her beauty,
was only a shallow coquette and flirt,
who thought much more of exhibiting
her charms in public for the admiration
of strangers than of making the home
of her husband a pleasant place of re
fuge to the wearied and harassed.
Be this as it may, it is certain that
Mrs. Pownell, still stately and hand'
some—she was many years younger than
her husband—sat at that very moment
in her splendid drawing room, entertain
ing with “ nods and becks and wreathed
smiles," three or four visitors. It is
also certain that though Mr. Pownell
was a polite and attentive cavalier to his
wife and daughter when they required
his services, at opera, party or ball, he
would as soon have gone for sympathy,
in trouble or disgrace, to the man in the
moon, or to the Egyptian sphinx, as to
cither of these beautiful, graceful wo
men who lived in his house and ate of
his bread, and bore tho same name with
him.
It was opera night, and he was in full
evening dress, for in the course of an
hour he was to have the honor of escort
ing the ladies of the household to their
carriage and their box.
Opera night ! An organ out in the
square suddenly struck up one of the
very airs be was to hesr that evening.
He hummed it mechanically to the end
as he listened. And then the stop was
changed, and au old, old air rang out — .
an air that he had thought sweet and
sad, end full of the most plaintive mel
ody, once J
Once —once ! Nay, R must have been
an hundred years or more since he stood j
beside the fence on the “old home varm,"
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1872.
and heard a sweet young voice trill out
the music of,
“ In the days when «e went eipsying,
A long time ago.”
The “ days when we went gipsying,"
indeed ! They were over forever, for
him ! For his fashionable wife and
stately daughter they had never been.
In his own life, harassed and anxious as
it had often been at times, was a store
of experience such as they had neve,
known.
Still the organ played on, and the
rich man’s thoughts went wandering
back from the luxurious study to the
old red farm house on the “Sunset Hill."
He saw himself once more a “ bare foot
boy," driving the cow* home from the
pasture, with a blue-eyed child in a pink
gingham frock and sunbonnet, trotting
by his side. He saw himself a tall lad
at the Sunday School, and the pink
gingham frock sat near him, and was
helped by him over sundry fearful pit
falls, in the shape of long words
in the spelling book, obtrusive
questions in geography, and pig
eared sums in the dog’s-eared arithmetic
that “ wonldn’t add up." He saw him
self, later still, a spruce clerk in a coun
try shop, whose stock of worldly wis
dom far outshone that of the “ pastors
and masters" to whom he was still forced
in a measure to submit. The pink ging
ham had changed to a showy lawn,
sprinkled with forgeUme-nots as blue as
the wearers e)es, or his own. In those
days, their eyes had been said to be ex
actly alike. He glanced at tbe glass
now. His own were dim with unshed
tears, and he could not compare the
color with that memory of the past.
Pretty, gentle, quiet Susie Gray!
How sweetly those blue eyes looked up
at him over the fence by moonlight that
night when, at his request, she sang,
“ In the days when we went gipsying, a
long time ago." How plainly he could
hear the soft, c-lear voice still—sweet,
but with a dash of sadness in it all the
time that thrilled the nerves and touched
the heart of the niogt careless listener.
How he had loved her then, with all the
freshiress and ardor ofa boy’s first love !
How meekly and modestly she had re
turned that more boisterous affection !
How pure she was—how true !
The organ ceased. The man was
moving away, when a purse clanked on
the pavement at his feet. He saw the
hand that had thrown it to . him close
the blind, and the poor Italian moved
away elated, for there was store of sil
ver and some pieces ®f gold within tho
silken meshes. It was the rich man’s
offering to the memory of his early love,
and the happiness and good that gift
conferred were bestowed in her sweet
name.
“ Susie, Susie ! Oh, if I had but been
as true as you were? If you were only
my wife now—if my ohild were only
your daughter—hofl different life might
be ?" groaned the rich man, as he flung
himself once more into his seat.
He touched a spring in the safe that
stood open before him, and a secret
drawer slid out.
It contained only two things—a with
ered flower-blossom and silky tress of
chestnut hair. But poor as the treas
ures were, they were more than house
or lands, or stately wife, or beautiful
ohild to the lonely millionaire.
Alas! his repentance came too late
fur atonement, as repentance almost al
ways does in this weary of ours
He had left the girl he loved—deserted
her cruelly for the sake of his ambi
tion ; and when he. would have returned
to her once more, she was lying at rest
in the village churchyard, and the age
upon the stone above her head wa
“ twenty-three."
“ She loved you to the last—she left
you her forgiveness with her dying
breath, and charged me to give you
mine,” said the bereaved mother, when
she met the man who had broken her
daughter’s heart; “ and so I give it for
Susie’s sake."
With it she gave him the tress of
hair cut off for him by Susie’s trem
bling hand on the last day of her life.
The flower blossom was one that had
lain above her meek, still face before
they covered it over forever with the
coffin-lid.
Like one in a dream, the rich man
sat, his face bent down upon the silken
hair, which was wet with bis fast falling
tears.
Presently came a light tap at the door.
“ Papa, we are nearly ready to go,"
said a lady’s voice. “ Mamma has rung
for the carriage."
There was a slight pause.
“ Very well, my dear," said Mr. Pow
nell, with an effort, in usual tone.
Ten minutes later he came out, locked
the study door behind him, and handed
his wife and daughter to the carriage
with his usual grave courtesy. He
kept in the back of the box that even
ing, and was very silent. He had a
slight headache, he said.
And when, six months later, the rich
man died of a short, severe illness, those
who prepared him for his burial found
resting upon his heart a little golden
locket, containing “only a woman’s
hair,” They left it there, and it was
buried with him. Mrs. Pownell knew
nothing of it. I doubt if it would have
troubled her much if ohe had been told.

Ms\jor Campbell Wallace Thinks
$25,000 per Month a Fair Rent
al for the State ltoad.
[From the Constitution.
Atlanta, Ga., July 31, 1872
Mr. Campbell Wallace , Atlanta , Ga.:
Dear SrR : Knowing your long ex
perience and great ability in railroad
ing, and the confidence whioh the peo
ple of Georgia repose in you, we trust
you will pardon us, as Representatives
of the people, for asking your opinion
touching a matter of great public in
terest. Then,
First. Do you believe that $25,000
was a fair rental for the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, in the condition it
was in on the day of tue lease ?
Second. Is the Road in danger of
losing any considerable portion of its
business by competing lines, which are
now being or likely to be constructed ?
If so, please state fully and particularly
how such contemplated lines will injure
or decrease the business of the Road.
Third. Are the present lessees pur
suing such a course as will secure west
ern connections, which will in any cou
sideradle degree counteract the effect of
the projected competing lines ?
Fourth. Aside from the legal ques
tions as to the sufficiency of the bond
of the present lessees, and the alleged
question of fraud, do you think the
present lease as good as can be made ?
Hoping to hear from you at an early
day, and that you will answer fully the
questions propounded, we are, very re
spectfully, etc.,
E. D. Gresiiam,
C. TANARUS, Goode,
J. A. Etheridge,
D. C. Cady,
L. J. Glenn,
John I. Hall.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2,1872.
Gentlemen : As representatives of
a portion of the people of Georgia, I
admit your right to call for the opinion
of any citizen, if in
that opinion may aid you in serving the
interests of your constituents. lam
personally acquainted with but one of
your number, but have a right to con
clude that the objects of your inquiry is
not to subserve any private interest,but
that you are seeking the public good.
I presume hardly any one will say
the State Road is not worth more than
twenty five thousand dollars per mouth,
to parties who combine the ability and
the will, to wont u, ..-.u r._ 0 i„
only to the profits to be derived from
its judicious management, and suitable
combinations with other interested par
ties and connecting roads. If the les
sees did not consider it worth more to
them, they would not pay that much
for it. In my opinion these gentlemen
comprehend fully the value of their
lease, and will hold it, if possible, not
only for the full twenty years, but re
new the contract at the expiration of
that titne, if permitted to do so.
While I give this opinion, I would
not, as an individual, take stock in a
lease of the State Road for twenty yoars
at more than twenty-five thousand dol
lars per month rental; nor even that
sum, unless associated with reliable par
ties interested in and controlling other
roads connecting as drainers and feed
ers to this intermediate link.
If you will take my report* made to
Gov. Jenkins in 1866 and 1867, and
also the report on the “ protection of
the State’s interests in the Western &
Atlantic Railroad," made to your pre
decessors by Major Cooper, Col. Hul
bert and myself, you will find my views
as to the effect the building of several
competing Hues will have on the busi
ness of the Ssate Road. Os these com
petitions there alluded to, the Selma,
Rome and Dalton is now in successful
operation, tho South and North Ala
bama is open to the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad, and will very soon
connect direct with Nashville,Louisville,
Memphis and the Great West. Already
much freight and travel is being di
verted from the State Road. The road
also mentioned as the “Atlanta and De
catur," now the “ Georgia Western,"
is being built, with its location more
wester[y and consequently lcs9 in com
petion with the State Road, but more
immediately in the interests of the city
of Atlanta, as when completed, it will
operate as a check to monopoly, and a
protection to its patrons and tributaries,
and gire us the cheapest and very best
quality of coal for manufacturing pur
poses.
With all tho lights before me, and
what I believe to be working out for the
future in the railroad and commercial
interests of our country, I am decidedly
of the opinion that when you have se
cured to the State treasury the certain
and prompt payment of twenty five
thousand dollars each month for the next
twenty years, you will have done the
very best thing you are likely to do with
the State Road. I am sure more money
than that will be earned, and no sensible
parties would pay that much for it un
less they were confident of making a
profit over and above that amouut. And
while I do not doubt the lessees will re
alize handsome profits, I have not a par
ticle of faith in any State Government
organization earning as much or more
than three hundred thousand dollars per
annum into the State treasury, and that
only for a short time, as well known
combinations now daily forming in rail
road interests.all over the United States,
which a &ate organization or manage
ment could not and would not coun
teract by similar combinations, would
of necessity curtail the business of the
State Road, if outside the ring; and in
a short time this great State interest
would be isolated and forgotten, as a
connecting link or part of a great through
line—a tax on the Treasury, and in its
management, a thing to be avoided in
stead of sought after by politicians.
I have not answered your questions
in the order of asking, but, in a general
way. have given you what you seem to
desire —“my opinion touching a matter
of great public interest"—and have en
deavored to do so without regard to the
interests of the lessees or any others ex
cept tho “ great public."
I know but little* about the law au
thorizing the lease of the road, nor any
thing of improper means being resorted
to for the purpose af securing the pas
sage of that law. I know nothing per
sonally of the truth of the charges of
“bribery and corruption " in obtaining
the lease from B illock. I know noth
ing of the legal questions touching the
lease now being so ably discussed.
But ignoring all these things, and
looking singly to the financial interests
of the State, I have sought to give you
sound views free from extraneous influ
ences, and have only to add : if men in
high places hare been guilty of high
crimes, enforce the law, and let the pun
ishment be equally high and exemplary.
The time was when public wrong was
visited with public indiguation and in
famy, and the ignorant, lazy, destitute
were commisserated, when detected ap
peasing the hunger, and clothing the
nakedness of their offspring by theft j
but now, while the latter hftvo meted
out to them the full benefit of the penal
code, the former especially, if a State
plunderer of millions, has thrown around
him the shield of a Radical President;
or is “ spirited " beyond the reach of
justice by the connivauce of a Demo
cratic Governor.
Truly and respectfully,
Campbell Wallace.

“ Stop My Paper !”—lllustrat
ing the fearful consequences of this
highly retribution measure, the Phila
delphia Post tells the following upon
the Ledger of that city :
This fearful threat reminds us of a
story about Mr. Swain, years ago, when
he was proprietor of the Ledger. By
his course in regard to some public mat
ter he offended a number of readers, one
mlinni rout liim nn Hljitafniit clrnnt nnA
thus accosted him:
“ Mr. Swain, I’ye stopped the Led
gcr”
“ What is that, sir ?"
“ I’ve stopped the Ledger," wa* the
stern reply.
“ Great heavens," said Mr. Swain,
“my dear sir, that won’t do. Come
with me to the office. This must be
looked into." And taking the man with
him, he entered the office at Third and
Chestnut Streets. There they found
the clerks busy at their desks; then
they ascended to the editoral rooms and
composing rooms, where all was as usual
finally they descended to the press rooms
where the engineers were at work.
“ I thought you told mo you had stop
ped the Ledger," said Mr. Swain.
“ So I have," said the offended sub
scriber .
“ I don’t sec the stoppage. The Led
ger seems to be going on."
“ Oh ! I mean to say—that it —that I
—ah—had stopped taking it."
“ Is that all!” exclaimed Mr. Swain.
“ W r hy my dear sir, you don’t know how
you alarmed me. As to your individual
subscription I care very little. Good
day, sir, and never mako such rash asser
tions again."
After Dinner Naps. —Many per
sons, particularly the middle aged and
elderly, allow themselves this indul
gence ; and the custom if not carried to
excess, is by many medical men consid
ered beneficial rather than otherwise, as
by keeping the body in a of qui
eted, digestion is promoted and assisted.
In southern countries tho midday sleep,
termed the siesta, is almost universally
taken, and wonderfully refreshes the
frame renervated and weakened by the
intense heat. It is however recommend
ed that such sleep be not indulged to
too great a length, as persons invaria
bly find such prolonged slumber in the
day time causes them to wake dull, irri
table, and uurefreshed; while most
have experienced, on having been acci
dentally roused up a few minutes after
absolute forgetfulness, a sensation of
lightness and renewed vigor, unattended
by pevishness or the least desire to sleep
again. Medical men, in sanctioning the
indulgence, particularly advise that it
be taken in a reclining posture, but by
no means lying horizontally, the stom
ach, in the latter position, pressing on
the intestines and causing the blood to
be impelled to the head. Corpulent
persons, and those who have a tendency
to apoplexy, should be particularly mind
ful of this point,
A Paternal Letter. —The follow
ing letter was written by a father to a son
in college :
“My Dear Son—l write to send your
new socks your mother knit for you by
cutting down some of mine. Your moth
er sends you ten dollars without my
knowledge, and for fear you would not
spend it wisely I have kept back half
and only send you five. Your own moth'
er and I are well except ing that your sis
ter has got the measles which we think
would spread among the other girls if
Tom had not had them before, and he is
the only one left. I hope you will do

Gov. Vance.—Gov. Vance spoke a
few days ago at Newton with Col. Steele
and Hon. T. S. Aahe. The Carolina
Eagle says:
Gov. Vance arose amid loud and long
cheering. He began by saying that he
was forcibly struck with the appropri
ateness of the air the band had iust
played—“ Come out of the W ilderuess."
He said he had just returned from
Baltimore, from the most enthusiastic
Convention he had ever attended, where
he saw what he had never seeu before,
nor ever expected to sec : old blue Re
publicans and Democrats shaking hands,
anJ all going for Greeley. He saw
many men who were willing to bet ev
erything they were worth—thousands
of dollars—that Horace Greeley would
carry every State in the Union except,
perhaps, three. He was not sanguine,
but he believed that Greeley would carry
every State except four or five.
Why, gentlemen, he said, the woods
are on fire; there is an earthquake com
ing ; the office-holders are shaking in
their boots. Tho fact is, the thing had
gone so far that it was bound to stop.
The corruption and stealing of the Rad
icals created a stench so great that it
was said, “ the man in the mouu," as he
passed over Washington, was forced to
hold his nose.
Clouds Outside- Sunsuink With
in.—ln the clash and jar of life, wheth
er men do business and have dealings
with others in city or in country, there
will be, occasionally, unpleasant occur
rences, causing soreness, irritation or
discomposure, to a greater or less degree.
Temper will be ruffled by losses, disap
pointments and dealings with the stu
pid and dishonest. If we would leave all
these trials and the irritation they have
produced outside when wo return to our
homes, and make resolute efforts to have
nothing but peace, love and sunshine
iuside our homes, the comfort of our
selves, our wives and our children would
be much promoted. To accomplish
this may be difficult, but it is corres
pondingly desirable. If we make a de
termined effort, it will not always be in
vain. Success will occasionally reward
us, and encourage us by its sweet satis
faction to renewed efforts. And when
success becomes habitual, how much
happier will be our homes ! For the
man who goes home sour and irritable,
with a cloud upon his countenance, is
sure to sadden and perhaps to sour the
hearts of his wife and children. Where

and his home a scene of smiles and sun

A Sacramento telegraph office is rid
ding itself of loafers. The Bee says :
t: A box running the full length of the
outside has heretofore furnished a temp
ting seat for the habitues. This has
been covered with xinc which has been
connected with the batteries that were
contained in the box. A person sitting
upon the box without touching his hands
thereto will not feel the electricity, but
if his hands drop on the box, or he puts
them thereon to assist him in rising, he
receives such a sudden and astonishing
shock as sends him an unbelievable num
ber of feet toward the lofty roof and the
adjacent river. Any good day a person
may see some of these unfortunates un
expectedly struck with this domesti
cated lightning describing a fifty feet
parabola in the air.”
Squeaking Boots.—Greater than
the annoyance of hearing others’ boots
squeak, is that of wearing a squeaking
pair. With a most zealous disposition
to relieve suffering humanity, we place
on record what Jones haß discovered. —
After trying all known remedies, he
writes the Scientific American : “At
length a happy thought struck me.—
With a rag 1 saturated the inside with
kerosene oil j and Eureka et glory ! 0
hallelujah ! the thinnest pair gave in at
once, and the other pair after a second
application."
Woman’s Rights.—The women of
Carthage, Indiana, have abolished all
liquor saloons in that towu. Some six
ty indignant matrons visited the various
dram shops and besought their owners
to abandon their vile business, and fail
ing in their mission, they formed in
solid phalanx, marched to the misery
mills, one after the other, smashing the
furniture and leaving havoc behind
them in every case.

ladies a poetical effusion “ To a Beauti

word as two syllables.
An Indiana town has the following
dog ordinance : “ Dogs that are not
cellared and labeled, no matter how re

An affectionate wife in Ohio has re-*

They Take the Hint. —A Utica

which reverses a picture, on the back of
which appears, in huge characters, the

and her admirers take the gentle hint
and depart.

From the success attending the first ses
sion, we feel confident that our school will
prove a success in the future. Our house is
large, comfortable and neat; our situation
is beautiful, and our society excellent. The
method of teaching has been very sueoess
ful. The classes learned rapidly. Our oouroe
of studies is thorough, up with the times,and
such as will, if thoroughly studied, prepare
young ladies and gentlemen for business,
usefulness and happiness.
It is folly to talk about succeeding in life
without an education. Forty er fifty years
ago, when our lands were fresh and very
productive, and when we cultivated them
simply with the plough and hoe, and then
hauled our produce to market on wagons, a
very limited education was thought to be
sufficient; but now. in the days of improved
machinery and fanning implements, rail
road, Ac., a good education is absolutely
necessary. Young men, if you want to make
money, if you want to make n competency
for ail the practical purposes qualify your
selves in early life, go to school, train your
minds, and store them with useful knowl
edge. We do not say that our school is the
best, but we think it is as good as any in its
section, and that it meets the demand of the
age. Ask those who hare attended oar
school. Qive us a trial, save money by cheap
boarding, only $lO to sl2 per month. Our
school in no humbug. It does not run by
gas-works, but by common sense, and relies
upon its merits to sustain it.
