Y, Druggist. TWO LECTURES LAST WEEK. Col. Copeland and Mr. Hills Entertain Au onces st Bell's Hall. Mr. Jas.,Thompson deserves the tbanl of tho people of Walhalla for his thong li fulness in procuring two lecturers for h Lyceum course during Christmas wee It is to be regretted that more of 01 oitineus did not bear these two leoturer as there was much in what thoy ga' their audiences to instruct and amuse. Col. Copeland's subject waa "Snol and Snobbery," and his many origin remarks contained genuine wit, re merit, sound advice abd caustic oril oiam. In our opinion he ranks with tl best lecturers who have appeared befo; Walhalla audiences. His appearance c the stage is that of a born orator; h voice is olear, his words well chosen, h sentences clear and well-rounded, whi his every move and gesture bear thi ease abd grace wbioh snow that they ai natural, not studied. He Was well won hearing and seeing. Mr. Lucius Perry Hills appeared at Hell's Hall Friday nigh "le is sn interesting story-teller, a goc I humorist and a poet of more than ord nary merit; and above all be is strict! i truthful. As a support to this stat mont we give a portion of bis short ii tr?duotory remarks. He said-most < the poems he would recite were foundc on mots gathered during an extend? trip through North Georgia a few yea ago. To establish bis veracity lu Wa bulls, where he was not known, ho sal he would quote the late Henry W. Grad1 who introduced him to an Atlanta aud enos on his return from his North Goo gin travels. "Ladies and gentlemen, began Mr. Grady, "there are but th rt original and authentic liars in this ooui try.. One is myself and the other two i my esteemed friend, Mr. Hills." For an hour and a half Mr. Hills kef hhs audionee in splendid humor with, hi original poems, spioy parodies, and im tations of comio and othor oharaoteri Ode of his humorous and mostlaughabl parodies, well rendered and ad m i rabi sobed, was "Johnnie, littlo Johnnie, wit his band against the pain," a parody o "Mable, littlo Mable, with her fae against tho pane." Aside from hi humor, however, Mr. Hills recites Dumber of poems, which, for the spiri of patriotism, pathos and true llterar merit, have few equals. His poem eut tied "The Yank and the Keb" wo reprc duco. lu it is contained a patriotic senti ment that should appeal to the bette impulses of every reader, no matter fror what Section of this reunited oountry h may hail. The poem Was inspired by a incident whiob took place a number c years ago at a Memorial Day oxoroiso ii Atlanta, Ga. Tho beauty of tho Bent ment expressed is enhanced by the fae that Mr. Hills, the author, was a Boldic fighting under the Star .Spangled Bannet and in his respeot aud honor for tb "Stars and Bars" and those who follows it so bravely through the war is ore bodied the love of the true soldier for gallant aud fearless foe. " The Yank and the Rob."

Near by stood a veteran, grlnled and bent, hob lng close in his tremulous hand A tattered old flag that In roany a fight had le bis Con federate band; And I saw tho tears gathering fast in his eyes s bo gazed on that battle-fla,, there, And folded lt over tho bullet-scarred staff, wit a sid and reverent air. Thon one who bad worn nor tho blue nor tito era; standing there by the graves of tho dead. With a oynlcai smile on his cold lips the walli in a tone of mockery said: "Just see that old Johnny who stands over then I oaressing bis shred of a flag, And wiping tho tears from his watery eyes, . tho sight of the old Rebel rag. "Tho flag of a oauso that he knew was unjus and'whlch every follower knew Hover represented a thing upon earth that wa honest, or noblo, or true; A Hag"-"Hold a momontl" I said, "if you picas? willie 1 ask you a question or two; And pray where wore you then, in the sixties, sli win n the Orny was at war with the Ilhiu?

"I have stoo&on the lino in full manya flght and bavo fynrd the wild Hebel yell, While those rigged old logions came ohargln along throagli the hailstorm of bullet an sholl; - And my heart whispered then, yes, again an again, as over an honest hem 1 must, That never wonld soldiers do battle like that fo a cause thoy considered unjust.
