"GOING ALONE"
ABOUT MY LITTLE o WHO HAS JUST COM
ENCED WALKING.

With curls in the sunny air tossing,
With light In the merry blue eyes,
With laughter so clearly, outringing,
Alangll of delight and surprise;
All friendly assistance disdaining,
And trusting no strength but Its own,
The past tears and trials Forgotten
The baby is going alone"
What woful mishaps have preceded
This day Of rejoicing and pride!
How often the help that he needed
Has carclessly gone from his side!
He has fallen while reaching for sunbeams
Which. just as he grasped them, have
flown,
And the tears of vcxation have followed,
But now he Is going alone"
And all through this life he will study
This lesson again and again;
He will carelessly lean upon shadows,
He will fall and weep over the pain.
The hand whose fond clasp was the surest,
viii coldly withdraw from his own,
The s%unnicst eyes will be cloudcd,
And he will be walking alone!
lie will learn what a stern world we live in,
And he may grow cold like the rest,
And just keep Il warm, sunny welcome
For those who seem truest and best;
Yet. chastcned and taught by past sorrow,
And stronger and manlier grown,
Not trusting his all in their keeping,
He learns to walk bravely alone.
And yet not alone, for our Father
The faltering footsteps will guide
Through all the dark maZes of earth-life,
And "ovcr the rivers" deep tide.

to the public horsc-lot under the back
windows Of our office. This lot is
bounded on three sides by connected
buildings. In this lot are erected scy-
en- racks and to Us they ayc seven
plaques, for with from fifty to one hun
bred horses hitcled to them on public
days, We need only raise one of the
three back windows Of our Office to
get u draft Of atmosphere devoid OF
the vital principle called oxygen which
during this torriA weather is absolutely
necessary for the support Of bodily
combustion. A score Of times have
we coveted the power Of Eurystlincs
and a Hercules at hand, that we might
order the whole Of Boiling Fork to be
turned through this cess-pool Of dctcs-
table and sickcning ingredients, both
human and Horse style. We want the
attention Of our Getty Fathers to this
There is no reason why horsc-racks

The Weather.,

clouds and intervals of burning sun

which Radical tyranny and devilish en-
actments have brought this country
But VIC think all the rain Of sweet hea-

sion Of their bettcrs, simply because
such oppression, unresistcd by the OPP

The mass of the people North can
not, surely, be aware of the intents Of
the Radical party, else they would not
patiently submit to the fearful over
of civil liberty in the Southern
States, and the placing of life, liberty
and property Of Our citizens under the
control of military despots. The con
stitntion Of the Federal government,
and the constitutions of the States, TIE
Declaration Of Independence-ail are
directly violated by the retrospective
and retroactive laws passed by Mar
plots for the %cnslavcmcnt of twelve
million people. The Democrats Of the
North will be selected as the next vic
tins. The Radicals know that crimes
succeed best by hurry and dispatch,
and we confess that in the extremity OF
their Infamous measures lies now ouI
chief hope.

If il be not out of order. we would
suggest that the Radicals, at their
hotchpot meeting next Saturday, have
the Declaration OF Independence and
the Constitution of the once United
States, read. Have read also the con
situations of some of the northern
States which refuse to allow political
privileges to the negroes-Thad. Ste
vens' state, for instance, or Spoon But
ler's and Summers, or Wendell Phil
lips. Read also n chapter from Mag
na Charta, eXtorted from King John in
the year 1915 by our semi barbarous
ancestors. DO these things for fun, to
impress a dying people with the trans
itoriness of all things earthly. We
have all the documents, alluded to, in
the Home journal Office, and will free
" lend them for the occasion, asking
only, as a qaid pro quo, tnat the hotch-
pots reflect, as Magma Charta is being
read, that it owed its birth to the op.
preston of the people.

THOMAS +. MOSELI.



We publish this week three more OF
this series Of letters. Though written
with reference more directly TO the sit
uation Of Georgia and the other nine
States under military Caliphs, yet they
suit this Brownlow monarchy as well.
We ask every reader Of the Home Jour
nal to peruso them closely, for in them
are embraced great political truths up
on the observance of which depends
the success Of republican government.
We are pleased that Senator Hill has
written these words Of wisdom to Il
dying pcoplo--dying in those sublime
ideas and principles which made the
name Of America honorcd among ma
tons as the land Of liberty, Of Magma
Clarta, Of civil rights. In such times
as these, when wicked men bear sway,
when written constitutions are illegally
altered, tortured, and abolished at the
will Of a minority in order that they
may rule; when habcas corpus is made
secondary to trials by jury; when the
people arc taxed to support standing
armies in the midst of profound peace !;
when white men are DISTINGUISHED and
their illitcratc former slaves invested
with political supremacy when wicked
mountcbanks are regarded loyal be
cause they advocate persecution and
stir up strife; in such times good men,
wise men, are deceived BY the apothcgm
that "thc post Of honor is the private
station" into inaction, and while they
rcposc in silence under the shades of
the mighty oaks, the fields ring with
the importunatc chinkof grasshoppcrs,
Mr.. Hill lifts his voice in behalf Of his
dying country and places on record a
legacy Of craftsmanship which would,
if the people should accept it, oblitcr-
ate all in the past that is hateful and
save our land from that revolution in
to which Radical extremists are drift
ing it as surely rs if jehovah had de
creed il.
And yet, it is indeed painful for us to
fear that these letters Of ample and tried
craftsmanship, and all that Conscrva,
tive effort can say or do, will not arrest
those mad partizans whose mailed hand
throttles theSouth and only awaits with
Icyilish determination 4 chance to do
likewise by the North.

What estimate is low enough to be
placed upon the creature who would
seek and accept Office by the disfran
chisement of merit, intelligence ant
liberty9 Yet it is by this infamou:
method the Radicals hope to carry the
election in August. In days to como
the good and true will point the finger
OF scorn and say: There goes a fellow
who sought Office On the strength Of q
party enactment which DISTINGUISHED all
who would havc voted against him.

"A subscriber ut Salem, IN THIS COln
ty, writes n complimentary notice OF
Mrs. Cowan's hotel in that place, and
desires US to insert it in the journal
But we hardly think it necessary for us
or any one else to write culogium on
Mrs, Cowan's hotel. AS far back as
Our memory rmncth (which, dear un-
welded ladies, is not 50 pery far Mrs.
Cowan had the reputation of keeping
the best table, Of having the earliest
vegetables and more of them and the
best. No comparative degree about it,
even if smart folks shal! say we violate
grammar in our statement. She kept
the best table, and keeps it still, and al
ways will until that unlucky day for
SlIcm and the cpicurcan world when
the rood hostess shall cease to set rich
yiands for others and go to feast her
SELF at a table prepared with mama of
Gods love, that shall give life and joy
and health and strength forever.

upon Mrs. C0wan's hotel thc other day
in this wise: a gentocl bachelor of
Winchcstcr-onc who has Travelled no

among the flircst flowers, lovelicst Ia
dies, and dainticst dishes, whether met
meath Italian skies or the skies OF any
other land; whether seen at Hastings
or Ramsgate, at Newport or Nahant,
Cape May or Saratoga-a competent
critic at one or all these places where
fashion tides cbb and flow twice and
thrice Il day, indifferent to the suffer
ings Of poor outcasts who arc begging
all over the world for food to keel
body and soul together 4 little while
yet; this bachelor friend Of ours, who
has become tired Of long winter nights
spent in watching fantastic faces of fail
maidcns blushing in the tirc-grate as il
striving to WOO his obdurate and igno.
rant heart from the solitude Of his eel
to the joys o f"love in y cottage" who

Wasn't that a compliment, considering
who it was said it? And we have no
apology to make for our pcriphrastic
way Of telling it, for we are sick Of pol
tiles under Radical tyranny, and think
circum'locntion on any subject more
ralatahle than records of Brownlow
outragcs which have almost driven our
country to ruin, certainly to mourning.
