THE TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION.
The New Orleans Pioayune produces

The New Orleans Picayuns produces
be following touching lines, appropriate
o the present electioneeFing times:
In the dark, with achild on her bosom,
A woman is walking the floor;
Moaning, while hushing her darling,
Oh, Godl what It Is TO be poor.
In the dark, with achild on her bosom
In the dark of q eomfortless room
Not even candies dull ray to sOothe
The terrible ache Of the gloom.
Down the street throngs joyous procession,
With thousands of lamps all alight;
And the glare Of whispering rockets,
Ascending the shadows Of night.
Oil enough for the multitude's marching,
And music, and banners, and flowers;
While the blue of the zenith is blazing
With grand pyroteehnical showers.
Al. alone, with her poor little burden,
A woman with hnngeTing eyes,
Soothes with lips that are paid with fasting,
Her famishing baby's cries.
She catches the echoes of loud huZzas,
"GFeat GOdln she sighs under her breath,
"While opulehce squanders so much away,
Must my little one starve to deathgn
Hark! the tramp of the marchers comes nearer
TTanspaFeneies CLEAN past her door;
"Our Cause, ;" "onr Kind, !" and sour Country, u
she reads,
But never one noticed sour PooFP'
And she looks at the hickering torches,
And counts the magnificent flags;
Then turns with gasp to her darkness again,
And her seant and unseemly rags.
Like river Of light the procession
Flows away down the stony street,
And the star studded gates Of the midnight
Close on the r&reating feet.
The music dies out in the dim Rfar-
All is silence and peace and rest,
Save maniac mother pacing the hOOf,
A little cold corpse on her breast

''DIXIE." !"
The Performances Of Brick Pomeroy's
Organ Grinder.
From the New York Democrat.

From the New York Democrat.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Pomeroy left
the city to fll engagements on the stump
in the interior, aud has played US 3 nice
trick. Finding q returned soldier on the
street with an old handoIgau, on which he
pays ten dollars year license, which goes
to the support of the bondholder, he hired
him to come to the Office of the Democrat,
and from one to four every afternoon play
Dixie"
And here he is under our window. We
like it. but the editors of the Sun are out
ragged One Of them says he is Id
nuisance Another says il is damnable -
And there he sits and gFinds
eOh, wish l was in Dixie.
Way down South in Dixie"
hour after hour. The man won't move, for
he says Pomeroy hired him by the week.
The Sun folks don't like it. Passers-by
wonder why the thunder he don't change
his tune. One man, from Goshen, Orange
county, stood there an hour to-day, waiting
to hear the next tune. But no other one
comes out of the horrid instrument. And
there be sits, grinding
''Oh, I wish I was in Dixie,
Away down South in Dixie p'
Yesterday, Pomeroy had row about the
matter A radical, whose Office is close
by, came down and ordered the soldier to
move on.
Cant do it, replied the cripple.
"Wby ?''
"Causs I'm hired to stay here on these
steps, under this window, and play this
'ere tune -
''Well, I'll see," and up stairs came the
excited radical. He raved and swore,
threatened arrest, and all sorts of trouble.
'Can't help it," said POmeroy, "that
man was a soldier; he fought; he pays ten
dollars year to grind his Machine; 1 have
hired him for the season, and shal have
him play that same tune day after day to
remind working men that
"Way down South in Dixie
are a lot of negroes, scallawags, and carpet
baggers they must support. And if you
touch that soldier I'll smash your loyal
head I rent these premises-that soldier
has paid his license-I pay for the music,
and I'll have it just as want it -
And the man is still grinding
"Way down South in Dixie"
How long he is to grind at the mill, God
and Pomeroy only know. But it's funny
idea, compelling Us to sit here hour after
hour to listen to that soldier grinding out
on his ten dollar license organ,
'sWay down South in Dixie"
| We tried to coax him to change his tune,
but he won't. He says POmerOy hired him
to grind it till his return. Ifbe will has
ten back, we'll pay the bill and call it
quits.

Pulaski---Tbe Fair and Fair Ones.

Pulaski---The Fair and Fair Ones.
We fnd the following complimentary
letter from FLORENCE" the regular corr
respondent Of the Memphis Avalanche, in
a recent number of that paper:
"PULAsKI, TENN, Oct. 10.
''EDIToRs AVALANCHE Once again /
find myself resting on the dear soil of my
native State, where oft I've wandered Ger
her green hills and sunny fields, when
sweetly smiled the days of peace and child
hoods happy hours.
This is decidedly beautiful little inland
city, under rapid improvement, and have
met here many things Of interest to engage
my attention. The Giles county Agricu'-
tuFsl Fair has been going on for several
days, and is now about closing. Yester-
day an immense crowd Was present, every
seat being 10 demand within the spacious
iuclosure. Upon entering there my eyes
rested over a circle of beauty and galautry
such as Pulaski may well be proud of in
deed; and in that vast sssembiage, where
the aged mingled with light, laughing
youth, I noticed many distinguished visit
ors receiving the most courteous attentions
at the hands OF this ever generous people.
Among them were several Of Tennessse's
prominent sons-the gallant General PALE
mer, of Murfreesboro, with others. fen
eraI Gordon was present, representing This
city.
All We'd with each other in making the
occasion pleasant, and of the hundreds of
ladies who lent grace and beauty to the
scene it was difieul. to decide who the fair
est was, though I believe the vos popaii
crowned with praise and admiration the
lovely daughters, Miss Upton of TenDes-
see, and Miss Nelson, of New Orleans, and
among those in the city place foremost on
the list the accomplished Mrs. Rose, Miss
V. Rose and Miss Ezsll.
The Agricultural society was largely
represented, and the exhibition Of saddle.
stock quite interesting.
At night ball was given at the Male
College, for the benefit Of that institution.
A large number of persons we're in attsn-
dance, and till the "wss small hours Of the
| night'' charming bellies and beaux joined il
the may wiles OF the merry dance, while
gay repartee fell from ready lips to fall OF
light, listening ears; bright smiles we're
dispensed by happy owners, and all partic
ipated in the pleasures Of the evening will
q hearty good will. In sll that brilliant
array the Misses Butler. late of Nashville
we're considered the brightest of brigh
stars IN the galaxy of beauty present, and
round. their brows rosy Wreathes we're twia
ed, while beside them stood the loVell
daughters of Pulaski, in their beauteous
tud and bloom. FLoREEoE."

Men Wanted.

The want of this age are men who ale
not for sale, men who are honest, sound
from center to circumference, true to the
hearts core; men who will condemn wrong
iu friend and foe, in themselves as well ss
others; men who will stand for tie right if
the heavens totter and the earth reel; men
who can tell the truth, and look the world
and the devil right in the eye; men that
neither brsg nor run; men that neither flag
nor finch; men who have courage without
wbistIing for it, and Joy without shouting
to bring it; men ia whom the current OF
everlasting life runs still and strong; men
too large for sectarisn limits, and too strong
for sectarian bonds; men who do not shiVeF
or cry, nor cause their voices to be heard
ir the streets, but who viii not fall nor be
discouraged ill judgment be set upon the
earth; men who know their message and
tell it; men who know their duty and do il;
men who will not lie; men who are not too
lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor; men
who are willing to eat what they have earn
ed, and wear what they have paid for.

& Mothers Responsibility.

Every mother is an historian. She
writes not the history of empires or of na-
tions upon paper, but she write her own
history in the imperishable mind of her
child. That tablet aud that history will re-
main indellible when time shall be no more.
That history each mother shall meet again
and read with eternal Joy or unutterable
grief in coming ages of eternity. The
thought should weigh on the mind of every
mother, and render her deeply Circumspect
and prayerful aud faithful in her solemn
work in training up her children for heaven
and Immortality.
The minds of children are very suscepGi-
bic and easily impressed. A word. look,
frOwn, may engrave an impression upon
the mind of q child which no lapse Of time
can efface or wear out. You walk along the
sssshoTs when the tide is out and you form
characters, or write words and names, in
the smoothe white sand which is spread
out 80 clear and beautiful at your feet, ac-
cording as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall in 3 few hours wash ont
and efface all that you have written Not
so the lines and characters of truth or error
which your OOnduct imprints on the mind
of your child. There you write impress
ions for the everlasting good or III of your
child, which neither the foods nor storms
Of earth can ever wash out, nor deaths cold
| fingers ersce, nor the slow motion ages oi
eternity oblitsrats. How careful. theps
should each mother be in her treatment oi
her child How pFaYerful and how ssri-
Gus, and how earnest to write the eternal
truth of God on bis mind Those truths
which shall be his guide and teacher when
her voice is silent in death, and her lips no
longer move in prayer in his behalf in com
mending her dear obild % her God.

Puzzles in Ancient Philoaonbv.

Among other famous ancient dialectioal
problems, are the following dilemmas,
which are framed with wonderful iugenui-
tY. the acutensss displayed in their con-
structiOn being unsurpassed. The irst is
called Syllogissimus Crocodilus, and may
be thus stated
An infant. while playing on the bank of
a river, was seized by a crocodile. The
mother, bearing its cries, rushed to its as
sistance, and by her fearful entFeaties OBJ
tanned promise from the crocodile, who
was obviously of the highest intelligence,
that be would give it to her back if she
would tell him truly what would happen to
it. On this the mother, perhaps rashly,
asserted: ''You will not give it back. -
The crocodile answered to this: eff you
have spoken truly I cannot give back the
child without destroying the truth Of your
assertion; if you have spoken falsely, can
not give back the child because you have
not fulfilled your agreement. Therefore,
cannot give it back to you whether you
have spoken truly or falsely" The mo-
ther retorted: ''If have spoken truly, you
must give back the child in virtue of your
agreement; if have spoken falsely, that
can only be when you have given back the
child. So that whether have spoken tru-
ly or falsely the child must be given back. 4"
History is silent as to the issue of this le-
markable dispute.
Of a similar nature is the other example
sAae mentioned, which is even more acute
ed. A young man named Euathlus
Ned lessons in rhetoric from Protago-
ras, it being agreed that certain fee should
be paid if the pupil was successful in the
first cause he pleaded. Euathlus, howev-
er, neglected to undertake any case, and
Protagoras, 10 order to obtain his fee, was
compelled to sue him. Euathlus defended
himself in court, and it was consequently
the young mans 6rst suit. The mas!e1sr-
gued thus, eff be successful in this
cause, o Euathlus, you will be compelled
to pay, by virtue of the sentence of these
righteous judges; and should even be un-
successful, you are compelled to payne, in
fulflIment of your original contract" To
this the apt pupil replied: eff be success
fnl. o master. shall be free by. the SEN
tence of these judges; and if be unsuc-
cessful, shall be free by virtue Of the con-
tract" The story states that such convinc-
ing arguments, thus Numerically opposed,
completely staggered tie judges, who, be-
ing quite unable to decide, postponed their
| judgement sine die.

THE KUKLUx MIDNIGHT aEvIEw

At midnight from his grave
The drummer woke, and rose,
And beating loud his drum
forth on his round he goes.
Stirred by his feshless arms,
The drum-stieks pstly fall;
He beats the loud retreat,
ReveiIle and roll-cal.
So strangely rolls that drum,
So deep It echoes round,
Old soldiers in their graves
To life start at the sound.
Both they in farthest north,
Stiff in the ice that lay,
And who, too, warm repOse
Beneath the Southern clay.
Meath the sod of the North,
Below Alabama's sand,
Their burial places they quit,
And soon to arms they stand.
And at midnight, from his grave
The trumPeter arose,
And, mounted on hls horse,
A loud, shrill blast he blows.
On airy coursers then
The cavalry are seen,
Old squadrons, erst renowned,
Cory and gashed, ween.
Beneath their casques their blanchod skulls
Smile grim, and proud their air,
AS in their bOny hands
Their long sharp swords they bear,
And ut midnight from his tomb,
The chief aWoke and rose,
And followed by his staff,
With slow steps on he goes.
a great tall hat he wears,
A coat Of red has he,
A little sword, for arms,
At his left side hangs free.
Ger the vast plain the moon
A paly luster threw;
The man with the great tall hat
The troops goes to review.
The ranks present their arms,
Deep roll the drums tae while,
Recovering then the troops
Before the chief defle.
Captains and generals hound
In eircled form appear;
The chief to the first word
Then whispers in his ear.
The word goes round the ranks,
Resounds fl Iom mouth to mouth;
The word they give-"StOnewall p
The ansWer-'Our loved South !"
fTis thus, at midnight hour,
The grand review, they say,
Is by dead StonewsL held
OF those who wore the grey.
