KIND WORDS.
BY ALICE CAREY.

What a world of deep sweetness
There is in tho tone,
That ZONES to us kindly
When weary and lone;
E~nwreathed with the laurel,
What rest could we find
If love never cheercd us
With words that are kind.
The floating of music,
When morning is bright,
May fall on the spirit
Like droppings of light;
For oh, they are pleasant
The hymns Of the birds,
But never, no never
So sweet as kind words.
I've sa. in the shade
or twilights short wing,
And dreamed about angels,
And songs hat they sing.
They're lovely-such visions
BY fancy combined,
But oh, how much swceter
Arc words that are kind.
o thou who art favored
With fortune and friends,
In whose cup of glndness
No bitter dross blends.
Wherever the temptcr
Is spreading his snare
Remember, l charge thee,
Thy brother is there.
And though all degraded,
And sinful and blind,
Thou mays! redeem him
With words that are kind.

only about nine miles further than the
most dire:t line; which is practicable.

which the Company now has, but the

COMMUNICATIONS.
For the Macarthur De mocnt. |


MR EDIroR: | see that a certain
(would be) somebody, over the cogno.
man OF "Vinton," has commenced a
cowardly attack through the mud ma
chine OF this place, upon your Com
missioners and yourself. "Vinton"
tries to charge the Commissioners with
allowing, and you with receiving, more
for the printing OF your Assessors
blanks, than the "Herald" men offered
TO do the same work. 1t is neither my
right nor intention 10 NEEDLE with the
financial matters Of your county; |
know nothing about your charge, nor
the Herdlfs offer. leel confident,
however, in sa, ing, from what | know
oil your Commissioners and yourself,
that nothing unreasonable was allowed
or received; nothing that 'Vinton' him,
sell would have objected to had gone
into the hands oi The Herald, or any
other KnOw Nothing print. "yin,
ton" says: "The people will not Sus-
tain their officers ia paying higher
price for this work than that proposed
by the Editors OF the Hcraid," and
you "as we'll as the Commissioners
will be made to feel it," Wonder i
this "Vihton" is the one who. drafted
the den resolutions? Resolving not tc
"cease from labor, either secretly OIL
publicly, until your county is purgeC
from the baneful influence of a Demo
cratic press, and Democratic county
officers" and to "endeavor to have
candidates for office who are promin'
ent members ofsome Protestant Church
of Arminian or Calvinistic faith" Ii
the same--wonder when he became SC
much alarmed about Catholics? Won,
der when his fine sensibilities became
so easely shocked at "mean whisky
and Irish cheers ?"
One would have thought that the
Jack OF the Messenger, would hardly
dare to publish "Vinton's" article
But, perhaps he has forgotten that wher
there were two presses in Athens, thai
the Editor OF the Democrat stood read y
at all times to do the public printing for
less money than was paid the MeSsea'
qer for the same work; but Mr.. STED.
MAN was neither a Wing nor a Kaou
Nothing. Consequently he got none
OF the public printing that could be
kept from him, although it would have
cost the county less. Whether the Mes
sen ger would have bid lower ii an of.
fer from the Democrat had been enter r.
tanned, ! am not prepared to say; as no
offer from the Democrat could ever re.
ceive any attention from a majority oI
the Commissioners. Jack had to have
the public printing, and of course gol
all he chsrged;--but then, this was all
right with KnOtc NOhtings. BM what
right has board of Democratic Com.
missioners to give the public printing
OF a county 10 a Democratic press,
especially in these days Of KmOw Moth
ingism and ballOt.bOr burning? Per,
haps Jack will call this all a"COrn
Whisky" lie, and may be provoked tc
apply that "rasp,' as the warm wealth
er has commenced, and the time oil
year when Jacks are used to bray the
loudsSt. you fear the Grasp" Ma,
jor, don't publish this article until yor
smoothe 1t down, for Jack is power
ful crittsr. But if you think no dan
ger will result from it, you will please
give it a place in your columns.
Yours truly,
ATHENS.

Of common sense as not 10 see the i'm

barked in the san cause.-The defense
Of the general liberty Of America. AT
such juncture, and in such circumstan.
ces, to be insulting their religion, is so
mOnstrous as not to be suffered or excus-
ed; indeed, instead of Offering the most
remote insult, it is our duty TO express
public thanks 10 those our brethren, as
to them we are indebted for every late
happy success over the common enemy
in Canada.

From this it can be seen with what
justice the Know Nothings steal the
great name OF Washington. to carry on
their insane religious warfare. Never
was great aud good name prostituted
to such base PurpOses.-POrts. Ing

"We are informed that certain val

threaten to kick our assistant carrier in
that town, small and inoffensive boy,
who is very attentive to business, be-
