To the Editor of the American Organ:
Sra: Agreeably TO resolution of Eutas Council
the subjoined paper is transmitted you for publca-
ton A word or two In connexion with the sub
ject. The object contemplated must commend t.
self to every true American The only controversy
that can possibly exist 10 with regard TO the means
best adapted to the -ecurement Of the end. We
understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers Of the Monument TO the
various councils has been resorted TO- That course
we are convinced, win fail TO secure those uniform
and thorough suppl es which will be the natural
and unfaing results of the plan below.
Our plan proposes to commence with the high
est body known TO the order, and TO 20 forth with
its authority. 1.-THE plan be adopted the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
will exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils The system viii be thorough, and con-
sequehtly the desired results viii be but legitimate
effects. Nor is this mere theory INFESTED and
untried We call attention to the following paper,

Ar list lay the brush aside,
Twilight gathers chill and gray;
Turn the picture 10 the wall,
Thou hast wrought IN vain to-day.
Thrice twelve months have hast, ned by,
Since thy canvas first grew bri BIT
With that brow's bewitching beauty,
And hat dark eyes melting light.
But the early m rning shineth
On thy tireless abors vet,
And the portrait stands before thee
TIL the evening sun has set.
Faulilsss is the robe that falleth
Round that form of matchless grace,
Faultless is the softened outline
OF The fair and oval face.
Thou hast caught the wondrous beauty
OF the round cheeks roseate hue,
Aid the full red lips are smiling,
As this morn they smiled on you.
To that lady thou hast given
Immortality below
Wherefore then, with moody glanocs,
Dost thou from thy labors gos
From the living face Of beauty
Beams the souls expressive ray;
And with all thy god like genius,
This thou never canst portray.

Each hath labor like b. thine,
Each, methinks, some Mona Lisa
In his spirits inmost shrine.
Visions haunt us from our childhood,
Ola love 80 pure, 80 true,
Time, and tears, and care, and anguish,
Loave 1t steadfast fair aud new,
Visions that elude forever,
As the silent years depart, ISL
Some unhappy ones and weary,
Mona Lisas Of the heart.
Cleans Of that divine completeness
Gods angelic ones attain,
Pass amid our tolls before US,
And we emulate in vain.
Poet fancies crowd the spirit
We would print upon the scroll,
But that perfect utterance faileth--
Mona Lisas Of the soul.

Ladies' were ntrusted by their father with large
sum Of money about $4,000, which they placed in
a carpet bag. and, from abundant caution, kept
constantly by them. The father remained over in
Augusta, while the daughters took the Georgia
Railroad cars for this place; and, upon reaching
Atlanta they leh the for seat in the saloon,
awaiting the departure Of the State train. Soon
after the ladies we're seated, two things in the
shape Of men followed them, and began TO address
them In the most insolent and offensive manner,
which 30 alarmed them, we suppose, as TO deprive
them Of their presence Of mind, and they left the
saloon so precipitately that the carpet bag with
this large sum of money was left behind. Upon
returning, In very few minutes after their fight
from the room, to look for the bag II was nowhere
to be found, and IL has not yet, we believe, been
