Pull Your own Weeds.
If youlve weeds in your garden, my
good friend, I pray,
Do not stand looking over the fence.
To your neighbor's dominions-just over
the way
Your weeds are the most consequence ;
Uproot them, while yet there is daylight
to work, (
Tear them up, seed and branch, from
the soil;
They are sure to do mischief, so pray do
not shirk ;
You'll be amply repaid for your toil.
The advice would apply to the garden of
life
'Tis so seldom we see our own weeds
For watching our neighbor, or, worse
vet, wile,
And counting their many misdeeds,
We pass our own follies, our faults we
disguise
In the garments of selfish conceit I
We're ever perfection (in our own eyes,)
Our neighbors may take a back seat.
Let us pull our own weeds, and work
with a will,.
While yet there is one to be found,
Nor point o'er the way in derision until
We have carefully tilled our own
ground.
For watching the faults of others we see
Not the ones in our own hearts so rife ;
Let us pull for ourselves, let other's
weeds be,
'Till we clean our own garden of Ufe.
The Mysterious Organist.
At a grand cathedral overlooking
the Rhine there appeared a distin
guished organist. The. great compo
ser who had played the organ so
much had suddenly died, and every
body, from the king to the peasant,
was wondering who could be found to
fill his place, when one bright Sab
bath morning, as the sexton entered
the church, he saw a stranger sitting
at the crape-shrouded organ. He was
a tall, graceful man, with a pale but
strikingly handsome face, great black
melancholy eyes, and hair like the
ravens wing for gloss and color, sweep
ing in dark waves over his shoulders.
He did not seem to notice the sexton,
but went on playing, and such music as
he drew from the instrument no words
of mine can describe. Theastonisbed
listener declared that the organ seem
ed to have grown human-that it
wailed and sighed and clamored as'if
its tortured human heart were throb
bing through its pipes.
When the music at length ceased,
the sexton hastened to the stranger
and asked : . .
" Pray, who are you, sir."
"Do not ask my name," he re
plied ; " I have heard that you were
in want of an organist, and I have
come here on trial."
" You'll be sure to get the place,"
exclaimed the sexton. " Why, you
;surpass him that's dead and gone."
" No, no, you overrate me," said
the stranger, with a smile ; then, as
if disinclined to conversation, he
turned from ."old Hans, and began to ?
play again, and now the 'music chang- i
ed from a sorrowful stream to a grand
old paean, and the mysterious old or- i
ganist :
Looking upward full of grace
Playing still from a happy place
God's glory smote lum in the face,
and his countenance seemed not un
like that of St. Michael, as portrayed
by Guido.
Lost in the melodies which swell
ed around him, he sat with his " far- i
seeing" eyes fixed on the distant sky, i
a glimpse of which he caught through
an open window, when there was a
stir about the church door, and a 1
royal party came sweeping in. Among
them might be seen a bright young
girl, with a wealth of golden ?hair,
eyes like the violet's hue, and lips
like wild cherries. This was the :
Princess Elizabeth, and all eyes were :
turned towards her as she seated
herself in the velvet-cushioned pew :
appropriated to the court. The mys
terious organist fixed his eye upon
her and went to playing. No sooner
had the music reached her ears than
she started as if a ghost had crossed
.her path. The blood faded from her
crimson cheek, her lips quivered, and
her whole frame grew tremulous.
At last her eyes met those of the or
ganist in a long, yearning look, and
the melody lost its joyous notes,
and once more wailed and sighed and
clamored.
"By faith," whispered the King to
his 'daughter, " this organist has a
master hand. Hark ye, he shall play
at your wedding."
The pale lips of the princess part
ed, but she could not speak-she was
dumb with grief. Like one in a
painful dream, she saw the pale man
at the organ and heard the melody
, which filled the vast edifice; Ay,
full well sjie knew who it was and
why the instrument seemed breathing
out the agony of a tortured heart.
When the services were over and
the royal party had left the cathe
dral, he stole away as mysteriously as
he had come. He was not seen again
by the sexton till the vesper hour, and
then |ie appeared in the organ loft
and compaenced bjs ?.ask/. When he
played, a veiled figure glided in, and
knelt near a shrine, jhere ehe re
mained until the worshippers disap
peared, when the sexton touched her
on th& shoulder and said :
"Madama everybody has gone but
you and-me, and I wjsji to close the
door."
" I am not ready to go yet," was
the reply ; " leave me-leave me I"
The sexton drew back into a shady
niche, and watched and listened. Thc
mysterious organist still kept his
post, and his head was bowed upon
the instrument, and he could not see
the lone devotee. At length she rose
from the aisle, and moving to the or
gan loft, paused beside the organist.
" Bertram !" she murmured.
Quick as thought the organist rais
ed nis head. There, with the light of
the lamp suspended to the arch above
falling full upon her, stood the. Prin
cess, .wb.oh.acJ .glaced the roya), pew
that 4ay. fbji ftOjUrt .drese pf velvet,
with its ermine trimming"; the tiara,
the necklace, the bracelets, had Been
exchanged for a gray serge robe and
a long thick veil, which was now
pushed back from the fair, girlish
face.
"Why are you here, Bertram?"
asked the Princess,
"Icame to bid you farewell; and
as J dared not to yenjure into the
palace, I gained access to tjie cathe
dral by'bribing-the bfill-ring6r, and
having taken the seat of the dead
organist, let my music breathe out
the adieu I could not trust my lips to
utter."
A low moan was the only answer,
and he continued :
" You ar? to be married on the
morrow ?"
"Yes," sobbed the girl. "Ohl
Bertram, what a trial it will be to
stand at yonder altar, and take upon
me the vows which will doom me to a
living death."
" Think of me,"rejoinedthe organ
ist. " Your royal father has request
ed me to play at the wedding, and I
hav? promised to be here, if I were
your equal I could be the bridegroom
instead of the organist ; but a poor
musician must give you up,"
" It is like rending my soul and
body asunder to part with you," said
the girl. " To-night I may tell you
this-tell you how fondly I love you,
butin few hours it will be a sin ! Go,
go, God bless you."
She waved him from her, as if Bh?
would banish him while she had the
power to do so ; and he-how was it
with him ! He arose to leave her,
then came back, held her to. his heart
in a long embrace, fvith a half smoth
ered fare well, left her.
The next morning dawned in cloud
less splendor. At an early hour the
cathedral was thrown open and the
sexton began to prepare for the wed
ding. Flame-colored flowers "nodded
by the wayside-flame-colored leaves
came dashing down the trees and lay
in heaps upon the ground ; and the
ripe wheat waved liked a golden sea,
and berries dropped in red aud pur
ple clusters over the rocks along the
Rhine.
At length the palace gates were
opened and the royal party appeared,
escorting the princess Elizabeth to the
cathedral, where the marriage was to
be solemnized;
It wasabrightpageanfc-far bright
er than the entwined foliage and
blossoms were the tufts of plumes
which floated from stately heads and
festal robes that streamed down over
the housings of the superb steeds.
But the Princess, mounted on a snowy
palfrey, and clad io snow-white vel
vet, looked pale and sad ; and when,
on nearing the church, she heard a
gush of organ music, which,- though
jubilant in sound, t.. uck on her ear
like a funeral knell-she trembled
and would have fallen to the earth,
had no! a page supported her. A
few minutes afterwards she entered
the cathedral. Therewith his retinue
stood the royal bridegroom, whom
she had never before seen. But her
glance roved from him to the organ
loft, where she had expected that,
mysterious organist. He was gone,
and she was obliged to return the
graceful bow of the King, to whom
she had been betrothed from motives
of policy. -Mechanically-^he -knelt
at his side on the altar stone ; me
chanically listened to the service and
made the response.
Then her husband drew her to him
in a convulsive embrace, and wis
pered :
" Elizabeth, my queen, my wife,
look up."
Trembling in every limb, she obey- .
ed. Why did those eyes thrill her
so ? Why did that smile bring a glow
on her cheeks ?
Ah ! though the King wore the
royal purple and many a jeweled or
der glittered on his breast, he seemed
the humble person who had been em
ploy sd to teach organ music, abd had.
taught her the lore of love.
" Elizabeth,'.' murmured the mon
arch, "Bertram Hoffmar, the myste
rious organist, and King Oscar (the
Royal Free Masoh) are one. Forgive
my stratagem. I wished to marry
you, but I would not drag to the altar
an unwilling bride. Your father was
in the secret."
While tears of joy rained from her
blue eyes, the new-made queen re
turned her husband's fond kisses, and
for once two hearts were made happy
by a royal marriage.

How a Dog Saved a Nan's Life,
A pleasant little story, of which
the hero is a well trained setter-dog,
comes from Quincy, 111., and the Whig
of that city tells it as follows:
" The dog usually sleeps at night in
a kennel in the rear of the house. On
Thursday night last, about 10 o'clock,
as his owner went to his room in the
second story on the front side ol the
buil.ding (the lights below being ex
tinguished,) he heard hjs dog come
beneath the window and set up a
most earnest constant barking, and it
seemed to him that there was ari unu
sual tone in the animal's voice. Sup
posing that there were intruders on
the premises, he opened the window
and called out to "??ig"to "catch
'em,"-The clog, instead of starting
off under the order, continued to
bark, jumping* up against the wall of
the house beneath the window, evi
dently .desiring that his master should
come' down.v Jh'e gentleman wen,i
down, aucj as soon o? ?ie reached the
outer door was met by the dog, who,
still barking, ran to the rear of the
dwelling. His master following, found
his hired man lying on the ground,
helpless and unconscious. He had,
as hp afterwards stated, stepping out
from tjie jkitchen, fallen-rmpn. tjie jce.
his head striking 9, stone 'step, ano!
cutting a fearlu} gash' in hjs scalp.
He had to be carried into the house,
and it wag some hours before he re
covered his senses, in fact, he is still
suffering from the effects of the
wounds."
There is a part of the world (in
Central Asia,) where marriages are
made on horseback. A day is set
when the. young men who are in want
of wives assemble, and the young
lady who is to be disposed of, is there
with, a gqod horse. She has her pref
erences, a? young ladies do in other
parts pf the world, and gives a signal
to the youth that she wishes to con
quer, so that he may know how to
ride in order to distance his competi
tors. She is better mounted than any
of her pursuers, and can generally
manage things sp that she can be
picked up hy the youth ehe has select
ed. Bnb li a fejl.qw that slie considers
a flat is likely to oyertajce her, she
digs her spurs into the horse, and
leaves the entire crowd. The race is
then declared "off," and another day
is set for the trial of speed. Some
times, when her papa wants to get
rid of the girl at all hazards, he juts
her on a horse that couldn't outrun a
tftrtle, and thus makes it certain -.hat
somebody will capture her...;
Reform or Revolution.
We have called for a Constitutiinal
Convention in the hope that we may
get it, and that even if it shq?l be
composed of a majority of .Republi
cans, the issues before it . will De so
very grave, that they will not dare
longer to trifle with the white :ninori- j
ty in the State, but will devise a way |
of giving to them an effectud voice
in shaping its legislation andirolicy.
The white minority cannot'longer
consent to be the mere gam? of po- ]
litical plunderers ; and ever if the ?
waste, and extravagance, and pbbing, \
and corruption and bribery, b check- ?
ed, this is not enough. Mua essen- t
tial legislation is now neglectd, and }
the intelligent citizens of te St?te c
justly demand that it be attaded to, |
and by a Legislature more intlligent, \
and more competent, than.thcpresent \
one. We do not depend aloe how- jj
ever, upon persuasion, or plaa inter- c
est, to bring about reform. Te effort fl
to persuade negroes, (as wesaw last c
year) sometimes simply increses their 5
insolence, and vanity, anf olstinacy, S(
and stupidity, and distrust ?f white
people, and self-irnportan|e, ?nd gen- ^
eral rottenness, ' and utter.iirapacity 0
for dealing reasonably w^thany sub- a
ject whatsoever,, at leasfcforthe next ^
half century, and until thej acquire a]
some property and edujatia. It is r(
rather Upon their fears, ind. he fears g
of their leaders and advises, and g.
upon their fears alone, that he best l?j

and violence, with the cert?nty of CI
finally going under, they canrefuse ^{
to do justice to the -white with ?j
whom they must live, and b;whom jj.
they must ultimately be gcerned. ?j?
If they desire peace,- the eoorr they vj

simple issue before them. Thwhites A

The Last o? Rnlloff.
The last of Rulloff was his execu
tion yesterday, at Binghamton, .New
York.' He met his fate "without
whining." As he had said he would,
he faced his death with the stoicism
of an Indian, butwithout th? Indian's
faith in a future existence. He had
nothing to say on the scaffold ; he
had no delay to ask with the rope
around his neck; he had declined
any assistance in the preparation of
his toilet for the hangman; he had re
fused any religious advice or consola
tion on the brink of the dark valley ;
he had lived the life of an outlaw,
md he "died as the fool dieth." Yet
mis man wanted to live, if only a few
veeks longer, professedly to finish
lis great work on the origin of lan
guages, but really because ever .to
lim the life of an outlaw, under the
lenience of the gallows, had its at
raction8,and deathhad its terrors.
?Vhen informed that his last hope was
?one, and that his last day in this life
lad come, he was excited into a vio
ent rage, and devoted the day main
y to cursing and ?wearing against
is counsel and the Governor and all
oncerned in his case, not forgetting
is victim and his confederates in the
rime which had caught him and
roughthim at last to his just de
srts.
This Rulloff was a strange charac
;r. He was a scholar and ambitious
f distinction, yet by nature he was
villain and devoted to crime. He
anted to flourish as a gentleman
ad a savan, while pursuing the ca
;er of the burglar and the murderer,
y day, he cultivated the arts and
races' of. polite society ; while by
ight he professionally consorted with
lieves and felons, whose only.educa
on was that of the State Prison,
is vicious nature drew him into
imes apparently without an object
iyond the excitement of the dangers
ley involved and the pleasure which
gave him to murder. . It is seldom
tat we meet with such a diabolical
Hain outside the Paris Commune,
id yet he was wholly destitute of
e political excuses of the Jacobin
natic. We can imagine no incen
se to the mysterious murder of his
ife and child in tho outset of his
dlty career, in 1846. except that of
monomania for human blood. The
jry is that in the night he murder
the mother and her babe, and
itting them in a chest, -with their
dies bound round with iron wire to
event their rising, sunk them-rn the
ep water of Cayuga Lake, where
eir remains lie to-day. As their
dies could not be found, the crime
murder could not be fixed- upon
llloff in this case ; but he was tried
d convicted, and suffered ten years
hard labor in the State Prison for
? abduction of his wife, the circum
ntial evidence of the murder being
yarded as morally, if not legally,
iclusive. He was tried for the
irder on the expiration of his State
ison term, but there was still lack
; the evidence to convict him.
Ith frequent narrow escapes for
rglaries and other crimes, ne is at
t, by some remarkably keen detec
es, captured as one of the gang of
rglars concerned, last August, in
i murder? of young Mirrick, in a
re in Binghamton. The bodies of
D of the burglars had been found
the river, drowned in their efforts
escape after the murder. They
I been severely wounded in their
it in the store with Mirrick and
fellow clerk, or hy the third and
ef burglar, Rulloff, in the river,
^et them out of the way, and some
the articles found upon them fur
hed the clue to Rulloff's detection,
est, trial and conviction of the
rder of Mirrick.
.Tow, for these and other crimes
Rulloff, with his qualifications, ad
itages and opportunities for coni
;abiy supporting himself and fam
in honest pursuits, we can' supply
motives except those resulting
n a naturally vicious nature and
Ordered mind improperly trained
[ delighting in the dangers and
i temen ts ot murders and burgla
, and believing that the life of
ian is like that of a dog in this
.ld, and that there is no future ex
nce or responsibility for either.
?re was no escape lp;; Such a vil
i from the hangman, considering
method which controlled his mad
3; but still there is something of
ue to society furnished from his
eking career and his miserable
ing, in the moral that the-ruffian
nature needs some?hjng more than
ek and Latin to' save him from
State Prison and the executioner,

'hat- insufferable nuisance, nay,
.e than nuisance, that iro,m?asura
inf?rhy, ". nigger government," is
idly showing its detestable fruits
thc South directly, and in the
?th indirectly.' South Carolina has
d five years of nigger, legislation
carpet-bag rule, backed up by
onet's1. To-day her whites are al
t starving beggars; her niggers
arly debauched as a whole ; her
lurces exhausted; her revenues
loverished ; over a milliou of her
}s, plantations, farms and home
,ds, 'are in the hands of the sheriff,
a once industrious and fruitful
;e sunk into the very depths of
tical and financial degradation.
North suffers by-the ruin of the
th, by the ruin of the least im
tant section of the South, just as
dtably as a human beips suffers
1 gangrene in fpot.or hand, iri'toe.
inger? The industry and'produc
pf the South are the business and
it of the North. Her rice, tobao
nayal stores, and great staple, cot
have been the main support of
shipping interest, once ranking
ind only of all the great nations
he globe. A nigger freedom war,
geer equality sentiment, a nigger
ionise principle, ?nding in nigger
resentalipn to a certain extent in
State and National councils, in
public offices and the courts, have
ipled, impoverished, politically and
imercially reduced this once great
pie, to a fp.urth-rate power, and
future is dark and terrible'if we

of 1860 when the now ruling, corrupt
and destructive party came into pow
er, all may yet. be well with us in the
coming time. If we keep on in the
direction we are now moving, no pen
can paint, no tongue tell, human im
agination can scarcely conceive, of
the direful change which the United
States of 1880 will show, when com
pared with the United States of 1860.
The restoration of a " White Man's
Government" is our sovereign reme
dy. Let this be your battle cry :
"The White Man's Government
Again, and no Other," and prosperity
in all its glorious phases will once

President Davis5 Rec?ption in Au
gusta, Georgia,
It appears, from our' Augusta ex
manges, that the ex-Confederate chief
net with an enthusiastic greeting
ipon reaching Georgia soil. He was
net at the Augusta depot by a num
>er of citizens, together with Mayor.
Estes and members of tho City Coun
iil.. 'A committee, upon the arrival
)f the train, entered the car and ex
ended the hospitalities of the city to
he distinguished visitor. Conducted
0 a handsome phaeton, drawn by four
torses, Mr. Davis was driven to the
5lanters' Hotel, amid the plaudits of
he crowd. Here Mr. Davis receiv
ed the visits of his friends. That
light, after a complimentary supper,
ie was serenaded, and, being called
pon, appeared on the balcony, ac
ompamed by the Hon. H:. W. Hil
ara and a committee. Mr. Hilliard
relcomed the ex-President in a spir
ed address, in which he alluded to
ae heroic and dauntless manner in
'hich Mr. Davis had borne himself
irough the storm of war, and to the
ignity which he had illustrated um
er ruin and disaster. " Serene
ie midst of the surging billows," he
ad aeted up to the motto of W.Tiam
ie Silent. Said the speaker : " You
ave quietly submitted your oause to
istory. History will vindicate you.'
Mr. Davis, in response, said :
Ty Friends and Fellow-citizens of
Georgia :
1 feel that I have a peculiar claim
:on the people of Georgia, and that
.e people of this State nave, also,' a
?culiar claim upon me. My father
as a citizen of Georgia many long
iars ago, and to him have I often
itened in the days of my boyhood
he. told to me traditions of the
eat revolution. It was to this city
Augusta-this ancient old town
ion the banks of the Savannah
at my father, then but a mere boy,
me to join the revolutionary forces,
d enlisted beneath the American
g. I am proud of my father, and
oud of his State. If it is a 'crime
feel proud of this sire-to glory in
3 devotion to the cause of the right
to remember with exultation his
.vices in defence of liberty, then,
T friends, is it also a crime to op
se a despotic centralization of pow
and uphold the right of a.State to
thdraw from a voluntary compact
tered into only for the preservation
the freedom of them all. If this
i crime, then am I a criminal, and
s the only offense of which I haye
;n guilty. I repeat, Georgians,
it I claim to he ol' 'Georgia descent,
11 glory in my lineage.
r HIMSELF, BUT THE CAUSE HON
ORED.
Although the distinguished gentle
n who welcomed me to your city
;h words so kindly and so eloquent
. said that you pay a tribute to me
your presence here to-night, I
mot think that he wa? correct in
s remark. It is not a tribute to
individually, but because you feel
,t I am one of yourselves that you
ae to do me honor. And while I
fully aware of this fa?y, do not
igine that \ feel ai'all mortified at
or that my vanity -is wounded be
ise you honor me only as the re
sentative of your canso. That
.se is dear to me-more precious
n tha^n life (applause), and I glory
ts remembrance.
I WORDS TORTURED AND MISCON
' ?TRUED.
"ust here let me say to you that I
1 know how every utterance of
ie is seized upon by the organs and
nbers ol' a "certain faction. I am
1 aware of the eagerness with
ich every word of mine is caught
and tho ingenuity with which it
listorted and used in furtherance of
igns upon my people, and hence I
e not speak to you as I desire. My
,rt is full to overflowing, Gp,cl
>ws, but I can not speak. Many
aiories'bf the past are struggling
ny- brain, Vijit I must' be silent.
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.
though I must not speak, it is no
r myself which commands my lips
ie closec\. ??o.; i have been pun
id for. my crimes, and have expe
?ced the wor3t which could be im
ed. In the cant language of the
-, punishment with me is "played
.'' The worst that can be done,
been done, and . I haye no more
ear. if \ speak it is not myself,
you who would be injured, for,
brtunately, additional wrongs can
be heaped upon you. Therefore
'. claim merit for anything.^ it will
fer keeping silent. My simplest
.ds may work you harm. If \
" Good night, my friends, go. to
r homes," and a Congre^cmal in
bigating committee happened to
sf $hin fearing, its members would
ar that I directed . yqu to go off
; join the Ku-Klux. (Laughter
i applause.) Filled with that j eal
y which springs from the knowl
e of their inferiority, and of the
ice of your pretensions, and ?ori
lus of broken. covenants and a vi-.
:ed Constitution, they mistrust
ry movement, and tremble with
: when they think that right may
in prevail. (Applause.)
" WAIT AND. HOPE.u
Jut wjrong cannot always be tri
phant. I will say nothing and you
st do nothing, ' even though tyran
oppresses grievously upon you:
-bear for a season, and a'day will
ie when, ali will yet be well. _ I"

(Applause.) He who reigns above
and lives always will see that justice
is done.. He will not allow the wick
ed to always remain in power, nor
the righteous to be oppressed. We
can wait until that day comes, .\nd
in the meantime be quiet. 'Tie an
old and wise saying, that a good bi
ting dog never barks much. If we
wait patiently a sense of justice will
yet return to the people of the United
States, or an opportunity will come
when'our rights can be gained, and
not only our rights-the rights of the
South-but the rights of all the peo
ple ; the rights which ^ore fought for
.md obtained at the point of the
sword in the 5rst revolution. (Ap
plause.)
CONCLUSION.
Bat though I cannot and should
not speak, I fear that where the mind
and the heart are both so full, that I
will not be able to restrain my words
I cannot think one thing and say an
other, and unless the honest emo
tions of my soul' can be expressed,!
do not care to speak. I thank you,
gentlemen, for your kindness, and
feel deeply touched at its exhibition.
May God foster and preserve you.
If ever the day comes, when I can
speak freely, I will be among you,
and say io you all that is in my heart.
Till then, farewell, ?ndmay the Great
God be with you always. (Applause.)
The Consiiititional?t says : During
:he delivery of his brave and cheer
ng address, Mr. Davis was greeted
vjth the most enthusiastic shouts of
ipproval by the audience.
At the conclusion of his address,
he band paid the tribute of a parting
)iece, and Mr. Davis was escorted
rom the balcony.
It will be gratifying'information to
tundreds of our citizens to learn that
Jr. Davis has been induced to re
gain in the city during to-day, and
hat he will receive his friends at the
banters' Hotel. The reception will
ake place from 12 o'clock, M. to 2,
\ M., and will be enjoyed by scores
f our citizens anxious to greet one
round whom centres all the patrio
te pride of our people, in remem
rance of the noble common cause
.hich he adorned with his firm, pa
.iotic endeavor to render successful.
The health of Mr. Davis, judging
om his appearance, ?is in good pre
dation-a fac't in which the people
F the whole South will rejoice.
