?HB _-. : ----s--"?T~~?--. The Land that .-Wc Iiivc In. DT A. B. XEHK, OF; ALABAMA. | Ohl bright is the land,that wc live in,. And soft blow the breezes around- . *??j The stars make a palace of heaven, And flowers enamel ?he ground! The orange and chestnut are flinging Their odors divine on ?he gale, And the mocking-bird's melody ringing . From the bowers that circle the ??ue? . Then here's to" the land that we Uve in! The land of the locust and lime!. And a song fe* tte sweat Btars of heav'n, That bnghtenlhis beautiful ?lime! But brighter, bv far, to the minstrel, * Than ah the sweet wealth of thc land, Are the maidens who dwell id iWbowors, By mountain, savanna and strand! And all its rich trophies were given, As tributes of beauty to these; And they are the stars of our heaven, Thc flowers that gladden the breeze! Then here's to the land that we live in! Thc land of the locust and lime! Ahd a song for the sweet stars of heav'n, That brighten this beautiful elimo! 'Twas hymned by a bard, that thc planets Once charmed from their passionate home, - ' ^ Assumed tho fair features of woman, And dwelt in thc valleys of Rome! But sure> if a land e'er presented Temptation to angels, 'tis ours, And the vision of song was invemted From forms in thesa soft sunny bowers! Then here's^) the land that we live in! The land 01 the locust and lime! And a'song for thc sweet stars of heav'n. That brighten this beautiful clime! Romantic Incident?. There are many romantic incidcats connected with the late war that Till never come ter light, and rare instances of fidelity and undying devotion of which the world will never know*. We are personally cognizant of many that are worthy to live in history, but none stand* out more prominent, like a little oasis, over which has- swept that besom of destruction, the events of the past four years, than this one. We saw the parties on Sunday, pass? ing through our city for their home in Texas, and thus runs the story: He was an officer in the? Texas brigade, of Longstreet's corps, anti bore a gallant part in that sanguinary strag? gle in the '.Wilderness," where many a proud heart ceased its throbbing, and many?weary^ heads were lain to rest forever upon the bleeding bosom of Virginia., Near the close of that engagement he was se? verely wounded and borne to the rear, and to a house, to tempe>rarily remain until he coukl be sent to the fielel hospital. By fume oversight he was there left, and the army move! to Spottsylvania. He was "kindly ministered to by t?ie inmates, but at the hands 6f a fair damsel of seventeen did he receive that pure,- ehsinterestod sympathy which alone lives in the heart of a woman. Time wore on, aud he was sufficiently restored te> rejoin his command, which he did just before the evacuation of Richmond. Sharing the fortunes of his brigade in the continuous struggle from Richmond to Appomatox; he was at the closing scene of that gweat drama in which the Army of Northern Virginia enacted so conspicuous part. He was paroled find went to Texas, but was not happy. He saw in dreams a pair of bright eyes and a queenly form, anel it was not home where they were not. It w"*is tpiite an undertaking to travel from Texas to Virginia two months ago, so unsettled was thc country; but our hero, nothing daunted, re? turned to the vicinity of the "Wilder . ness,"anel to the presence of Iiis fair inamorita! Tho meeting was joyous, anel it was but the work of a few days to consum? mate their bliss and make them one if She left home, friends, everything, and goes te> Texas, tho happiest of brides! Wc wish that pair all the happiness that can fall to the lot of mortals here below, and may .their pathway be forever strewn with flow? ers. As the train bearing themkenoe rollet! away, anti wc wavetl a pa?ting adieu, they looked a living, picture of Parthenia's definition of love "THO souls with hut a Hingle thought, 'Two hearts that beat as one.*" Wc withhold ' the name of this Texan, but his heroism anel gallantry zn affairs of the heaA are not less con spicuous than it was on the field. In her sphere, and during tho wai it was an evtendetl one, this Virginia lady proved herself a heroine; she was faithful to that mission on earth which is peculiarlv reserveel to her st-x. Her reward m its fidnesa never conies in this world-it comes to herc in tne future.-Atlanta Intelligenter. AK OLD CVMTERHEAD.-In an ex? cited discussion, yesterday, between a Democrat and a German Republi? can, the former ref erf ed to habeas cor? pus* "Habeas corpus" responded tho Republican, "tali to me abuut habeas corpus; I knows him well. He is a (hunt oki C( ?nperhead."-CCi\oinnaii '.' ABT?MUS '"V?jfA?D ON EE-OKGANIMA? TION.-Artemus Ward, in a recent letter, gives au idea of re-organiza? tion: I have never attempted to re-organ . ize my wife but once. I shall neve* attempt it .again. I'd bin to a public dinner, and had allowed myself to be betrayed in drinking several people's health, and to make 'em as robust, as possible/? 1 continued drinking their health until my own became affected. The consequence was T presented myself at Betsey's bedside, late at night, with considerable liker con? ceal about my persen. . I had some? how got possesshun of a hosswhip on my *v?ay home. Remembering some cranky observations of Mrs. Ward's in, the morning, I snapt the whip pretty livery, and in aloud v?icesaid, "Betsey, you need re-organizing. I have come, Betsey," I continued crackin' the whip o'er the bed-"I ha-fe come to re-organize you!" That nite, I dreamed that some? body laid a hosswhip over me sev'ril times, and when I woke up I found she had. I h?int drunk much'of anything'since, and if I ever have any re-organizen' job on hand, I will let it out. The Jackson (Miss.) News is favor? ed "with a fair correspondent, who begs him to "let that horrid negro suffrage question alone;" and, if he really has the interest of future gene? rations in view,*to consider, rather, what; sj>e regards as the great ques? tion bf the day: "How and whom-to. marry?" 'Miss "Susan" pertinently asks, "What's the use of having a Government if there's nobody to govern?" and, rather inconsistently with her request to the editor to ab? stain from politics, wishes him to take her word for it that, '"il the holy es ta'te of matrimony is not more inti? mately cultivated in "this country, we shall lose our balance Of power" which she ought to know is a great thing in political economy? "Dordtir up thc Benedicts," she feelingly ex? claims, "to ? full consideration of the great matrimonial ., question. Not that /particularly wish to marry, but I think that*this great country ought t? go on, and if people won't marry, how can it?" A. CHEERFUL REPORT.-In the re? l?ase of certain rebel sympathizers in Missouri, on condition of residing outside the State, they were requited to report to the Provost Marshal weekly. One of them recently reported in the following cheerful strain: To the Provost Marshal, Department of Missouri. DEAR SIR: I am alive and kicking. I am at work on a farm four miles North-east of Quincy, Illinois, at the rate of $25 a month, payable in green? backs. I am at w;ork fpr a fine old? gentleman, and he has a charming daughter. I love her anti she says she loves me, so by the next time I "report" I shall probably tell you how I have made it. NOVEL VERDICT OF A' CORONER'S JURY.-Daniel Cleveland, who was shot by a negro soldier in Jefferson ville, on Monday, died yesterday, be? tween ll and 12?o'clock. The coro? ner held aft inquest, arid a jury re? turned a verdict that the deceased came to his death frora the effects of a gun shot wound infljBpd by a d-d black s-n of. a h-^i, [verbatim.)
