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.

and had served four years in the
Thirty-eighth Indiana Volunteers.
The negro was brought to^ this city
and placed in the military prison for
safo keeping, as tue' authoritiss were
apprehensive that thc citizens would
lynch him.-Louisville Democrat.
A REMARKABLE DIFFER??CE.-A
somewhat remarkable difference is
seen in tho weather of the present
month and that of September, 186-4.

mercury rose above 80 degree- once,
and twice at noon it was as low as 05
