TIE SWORD OF ROBERT LEE.

"A . = -
Forth from It's scabbard, pure and bright
Flashed the sword Of LEs
Far in the tF2pc of the deadly fight,
High Ger the brave, in the cause of right,
Its stainle been, like beacon light,
Led US to victory.
Out Of its scabbard. where fun long
It sluna beFed peacefully-
Roused 8roia its rest by the battle-song.
Shielding che feeble, shifting the stronp
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong
Cleaned The sword OF LEE
Forth frosa e scabbard, highin tie air
Beneath Elrgiula's sky
And they Who ssW 1t cleaning there,
And knew no bore It, Bnel6 to swear
That here lhat sword led, they would dare
To follow and to die.
Forth from its seabbard Never hand
waved word from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band
Nor braveT bled for brighter land,
Nor brighteE land had cause as grand,
Nor ceusee chief like lei
Forth from its scabbard how ve.prayed
That sword might victor be
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the blade
Of noble RoBERT LEE
Forth from its scabbard all in vain
Forth flashed the sword Of LEE
Ills shrOuded now Ia its sheath again,
1t sleeps the sleep o. our noble slain,
Defeated, yet sCitl0at a stain,
Proudly and peacefully.

LEARNING TO WALK.

Only beginning thsjourney,
Many a mile to 90
Little feet, how they patter,
Wandering to and fro.
Trying again, so bravely,
Laughing in baby glee
Hiding its face in mothers lap,
Proud as a baby can be.
Talking the oldest language
Ever before was heard
But mother (you'd hardly think so)
Understands every word.
Tottering now and falling,
Eyes that are going to cry,
Kisses and plenty of IOve-Words,
Willing again to try.
Father Of all, o guide them,
The pattering little feet,
While they are treading the uphill road
Braviug the-dust aud heat
Aid them when they grow weary,
Keep them in pathways blest
And when the journeys ended,
Savior, o give them rest.

To an intimation from Gen. Sheridan
that be purposed removing Governor
Thockmorton, Of Texas, and that the re-
moval Of Governor Well. Of Louisiana,
would probably be necessary. Gen. Grant
replies that it would not be proper TO re-
move the Governors that the subject is
now under consideration, but It is not be-
lieyed that military commanders have the
power, and that removals can only be made
by act of Congress, or by trial under the
sixth section Of the law.

Newspapers


An exchange speaking on the subject of
newspapers, gives the following sensible
advice to persons living in the country. 1t
says:
People hardly know how much they
loose by not subscribing for their county
paper. There are always certain mstters Of
local interest, in which 1t is the interest of
every good citizen to keep ''posted up
Instead Of sending City or hundred miles
away for micellaneOus paper suited for
general readers, every man should take his
county paper and pay for in advance then,
if he has money to spare for more amuse-
ment, or to crafty his own taste, let him
subscribe for good city paper containing
able reports Of popular lectures, Legislative
and congressional news, with a general
summary of foreign and domestic news up
to the latest moments before going to press.
Now if this is not good advice we hard
ly know what is. Never subscribe with
out paying IN advance. The man that
does his duty in this respect; reads his
paper with increased satisfaction. Every
one knows that his greatest comfort IS de-
rievd from the consciousness Of having
done. or tried to do right; and certainly it
is no more than right to pay the printer,
who is constantly incurring outlays for
paper and composition, who almost invaria-
bly, pays for the matter "set up' even be-
fore it passes into the hands of the sub
scribers.
Again we saY-'Take your county pa
per and pay for it in advance If you in
tend leaving the country, still hold on for
while, it becomes more interesting. We
would only say those who do not take any
of their county papers, and can afford it.
don't sponge upon your neighbors>for the
news-if the paper is not worth subscrib-
ing for it is not worth borrowing.

How TO MAKE A WATEEFALL.-Iake
four pounds Of rags and bunch Of shay
ines. an old tin pan, and bunch Of straw;
then steal an old hat Of somebody's leav-
ing, and swear it's your own, to get clear OF
the law next, get an old stocking and stuff
it with paper, and, if It is possible put in
a mole, then get some old china, and nut
meg crater, and make them ali up in nice
little roll; put al these in net Of red and
plistening beads must cover them all then
fasten il on the back Of your head, and
YOU will have a waterfall.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1867-05-10

DoN'T BE ExTRAvAGAET.-If the poor
house has any terrors for you never buy
what you don't need. Before you pay three
cents for a jewsharp, my boy, ascertain
whether you cannot make just as pleasant
a noise by whistIing. for which nature
furnishes the machinery; and before you
pay seventy five dollars for a coat, young
man, find out whether your lady would
not be just as glad to see you in one that
cost half the money. If she would not
let her crack her our own hazeluuts and
buy her own clothes. When you see a
man spending two or three dollars a.week
fOolishl7, the chances are five to one that
he will live long enough to know how many
cents there is in a dollar if he don't he's
pretty sure to bequeath that privilege to
his widow. When a man asks you to buy
that for which you have no use, no matter
how cheap, don't say yes until you are
sure that some one else wants it in ad-
vance. Money burns in some folks pock-
cts, and makes such big hole that every
thing that is put in drops through past
finding.

It is a popular impression that the value
Of a newspaper is dependent upon its sub
scription list, but this is an error. A news
paper clears little or nothing on its circu-
lation. It's profits are derived from adver-
tising. It is therefore so much the more
important that gratuitous advertising
should not be asked for, but that the pub
lie should be willing to pay fair price for
it and pay il puDctually. As every COM
munity is vitality interested, not only in
having a newspaper press, but good and
respectable one, so should it cheerfully re-
muuerate the workers upon it as they do
workers in any other branch of legitimate
industry.
We design these remarks as entirely gen
eral. If we were to make special applica-
tion to them, it would be in reference to
that over worked and badly paid class, the
publishers of what are called country pa
pers," who are generally the slaves of the
communities in which they live, and are
considered subject to everybody's order
without fee or reward. To have good
press the public must appreciate the labora
of newspaper men, not by mere words of
praise but in that substantial manner
which will make them feel an interest in
the business, and devote to it all of their
physical and moral nergies.--NasAvizle

WHAT SHALL THE People OF THE SoUTH
Do ?-The National LatelLigencer thus an
swers this question:
whatever force there may have been in
the argument that the South could take
not action under the Sherman -Shellabar-
ger bill without voluntary participation in
its own degradation, Is now destroyed by
the bill which passed the House of Repre-
sentatves. That takes the question of
holding a convention out of the realm of
popular consent and confers it upon the
military commander. He is enjoined to
make registration and order an election !;
whatever may be done, therefore, is done
under military duress, and it is the part of
wise men to accommodate themselves to
circumstances. The registration viii be
made. The election will be held. The
negroes will vote. Shall the whites alb
siain If inaction accomplished aught,
we might understand why men should ad
wise it but when the practical effect of in
action will be to secure the adoption of
State Constitutions by those who do act,
and an application for admission into the
Union from men who have voted, while
this inaction viii put arguments into the
mouths of those opposed 20 our restOra-
ton, we cannot exactly see the wisdom of
hesitation. Those who now abstain from
choice will abstain hereafter from necessi-
ty."

1st. All people who have not yet died a
natural death, are advised not to get
scared to death at this late stage of the
game.
Cd. Those who were lucky enough to
keep their carcasses out of range of Yam
kee leaden bullets during the war, need
not get alarmed at paper ones now.
Sd, If the Yankees do confsoate the
Southern lands, they cannot move the lands
out of the country.
4th. If anybody has done anything ex-
ira mean that he can't get forgiveness for,
and fears that the local laws Of the coun-
try will get hold of him, let him make his
peace with the Radicals at once, and he
viii be protected in his rascality.
5th. Let him who has always acted hon
estly, and endeavored to do his duty to his
fellow-man, go about his business fearless
ly, whatever that business may be.
9th. Good wives, who desire to retain
the affections of their husbands, should
always meet them with smile, and try
to have their cakes and coffee hot when
they come home at night, tired and fretted
with the days troubles and vexations.
9TH. Husbands should hold themselves
IN readiness to "mind the baby onall rea-
sOnable Occasions-and happy is he that

Judge Sharkey.

An Exchange says: Governor Sharkey
states that he motive which prompted the
action taken by Mississippi and Georgia,
and which was urged upon the govern
ments of other States, was tha: it afforded
the best means of entering protest against
the military law, and would enable the
States in a future contingency, promising
legal relief from the operation of any part
of this law, to point to this formal protest
as evidence that the Congressional plan Of
reconstruction had been forced upon the
South against its will. Governor Sbarkey
says old secessiOnists who aequiesce in
the proposed plan of settlement, do so to
maintain their consistency, they holding
that secession was accomplished, and that
the South became a foreign power, was
then conquered, and hence the North has
the right to impose any terms whatever,
and the conquered must submit.

Pryne Debate, PIP. 9, 10.
The Parson has made some wonderful
strides since he uttered the above. Those
who imagine that he does not hold the
same principles to-day are sadly mistaken.
He has not abandoned, but merely made a
more extended application of them. In
1853 he applied his slavery doctrine to the
negro only, In 1867 he applies it to white
and black irrespective of color" He now
allows the negroes to be his slaves on pay
ment of poll tax and as the whites won't
be his political slaves, he contents himself
with making them simple working slaves,
and pockets the fruits of their labors.-

yield themselves entirely up to fancied OF

and sorrow becomes our master. When

Female Suffrage.


Mark Twain is opposed to extending the
elective franchise to women, and in an arti-
Gle in the st. Lonis Democrat, gives the
following, among other reasons for oppo-
sition
Every woman in the commonwealth of
Missouri would let go everything and run
for State milliner. And, instead of venti-
lating each others political antecedents, as
men do, they would go stIaight after each
others private moral character. I know
them-they are all like my wife, Before
the canvass was three days old, it would be
an established proposition that every wo-
man in the State was mo better than she
ought to be- Only think how it would
lacerate one to have an opposition candi
date say that about my wife. That is the
idea, you know-haviug other people say
these hard things. Now know that my
wife isn't any better than she ought to be
in fact, in matters of orthodox doctrine,
she is particularly shaky-but still, 1
would not like these things aired in a poll
teal contest,
And closes thus In that day man
shall say to his servant, ''What is the mat
ter with the baby ?" And the servant
shall reply, sit has bee sick for hours"
''And where is its mother 90 'She is out
electioneerng for Sallie Robbins" And
such conversations as these shall transpire
between ladies and servants applying for
situations "Can you cook ?" eyes"
Wash % eyes" 'Do general house
work % Eyes" "An right. Who is
your choice for State milliner ?" Judy
McGinnis.'' "Well, you can tramp
And women shall talk politics instead of
discussing the fashion and they shall neg
lect the duties of household to go out and
take drink with candidates and men
shall nurse the baby while their wives
travel to the polls to vote. And also in
that day the man who hath beautiful whis-
kers shall beat the homely man of wisdom
for Governor, and the youth who waltzes
with grace shall be chief Of police, in pre-
ference to the man of practical sagacity
and determined energy.
Every man, take it, has a selfish end in
view when he pours out eloquence in be-
half of the public good in newspapers, and
such is the case with me. I do not want
the privileges of women extended, because
my wife already holds Office in nineteen
different female associations, and have to
do all her clerking. If you give the wo-
men full sweep with the men in political
affairs, she will proceed TO run for every
| eonfounded Office under the new dispensa-
ton. That will finish me. Il is bound to
finish me. She would not have time TO do
anything at all then, and the one solitary
thing have shirked up to the present time
would fall on me, and my family would go
to destruction, for I am not qualified for a
wet nurse. MARX TWAIN.
