The oId Wedding-Ring.

/ ALICE, my youngest daughter
Welded with Ralph to-day;
The morning air was balmy
With the breath Of neW-mown hay
i The sky was flooded with sunshin
/ And blue-as blue as the deep
] Their white wings folded together
The clouds were fallen asleep.
The air-harps % the forest
Were tuned TO the sound Of the psalm
/ And their distant music touched me
With thrill Of infinite In
She stood in her bridal whitenes S,
A lily pure and pale,
The gold Of her ringlets shining
Through the mist OF her noating veil
And her lover, strong and stately
In the pride Of his gracious youths
With voice both deep and tender
PIighted his manhOod's truth.
He put the ring on her finger
A band Of virgin gold,
Broad and heavy; 1t bound her
His to have and to hold
May 1t never change to a fetter,
Breaking her heart TO wear:
May II be as dear as her mothers
Is her mothers earnest prayer.
They have gone their way together,
And sit In the summer night
Alone with the thoughts of beauty
That hit through the soft moonlight.
I am turning on my dnger
Ny own dear Wedding-ring,
And the memories of s lifetime
To narrow circlet cling.
It is not so broad as my daughters,
And the years have worn It thin,
But it clasped two hearts together
Its blessed bond within
Hearts that but knit the closer
Through life, In woe or veal
That, present were ever loving;
And, absent, were ever leal.
The years fall back like a curtain,
And my husband comes once more;
1 see his form in the moonlight,
hear his hand at the door.
And it's-''Oh my darling, I'm weary,
You tarry so long above:
When VIII you come to take me,
On my love, my love? ?'
/ feel his touch on my forehead:
1t falls like a seal Of rest;
And my heart fOrgets it was tired
AS l lean my head on his breast.
Yes, yesl know he is lying
In the moonlight on the hill;
But the thin, worn ring hath magic,
And It binds my darling still.
And oft, when I'm very lonely.
dream of the home above;
And it's-"Oh! my love, I'm coming;
Coming my love, my Iovei"
Alice and Ralph lamented
That the mother was called away,
Swiftly and suddenly, from them,
On the eve of their Wedding-day.
But they. never knew how gladly,
At the beck Of an angel hand,
She had left our waning moonbeams
For the light Of the Better Land
With the worn old ring on her finger,
And her pale hands crossed on her breast.
They bore her out to the hillside,
And by him they laid her to rest.

DELAWARE, OHIo, FRIDAY, N0VEMBER q. 1868

| lawyers, in saying handed down from
antiquity, that "a WEetehed servitude
/ exists where the law is uneertain;" but
this is not true of the law only. Moth
/ ing short Of that servitude, which de-
nies God-given rights, can be more
Wretched than the Sc rYitude of an un-
certain currency. And now that, by
the blessing of God, we are banishing
| that terrible wrong, which was so long
the curse and shame of our nation, let
us apply ourselves to this other serTi-
tude, whose yoke we are all condemned
to bear in daily life.
Looking into the travels of Marco
Polo in the thirteenth century. you will
find that he encountered in China paper
money on a large scale, being an ineOn-
vertible currency standing on the prom
ise of the Grand Khan, not unlike our
greenbRclzs. Describing the celestial
city of Kin-sia, the famous traveller
says, 1.-THE Inhabitants are idolatOrs,
and they use paper mouey;" and then
describing another celestial city, Tai
pon-zu, he says, sfthe inhabitants Wor-
ship idols, and use paper money"
know not if the Marco Polo intended
by this association to suggest any de-
pendepce of paper money upon the
worship Of idols. 1t is enough that he
puts them together. To my mind they
are equally forbidden by the Ten Com
mandments. If one commandment en-
joins upon US not to worship any grav-
en- image, does not another say express
Iy, Thou shalt not steal"

Carpet Baggers" IN Georgia.

A prominent citizen of Georgia sue.
cessfully refutes the accusation brought
by the Democrats that the public Of
fees of the South are filled with "car-
pet-baggers" from the North. He
says: Our Governor, all our State Of
ficers, the two United States Senators,
and six out of seven Congressman,
were residents of Georgia before the
war, as we're the President of the SEN
ate and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. Out of the two hundred
and twenty members Of the legislature
but seven are Northern men who have
come here since the war. Though ex-
tensiyely acquainted with the Office
holders throughout the State, I know
of but two men of the carpet bag per-
suasion filing county offices. One of
these is a lawyer, the other planter
both men of ability and character. The
convention which framed our new
Constitution boasted but twelve mem
bers of this class; aud the Constitution
thus framed excludes every man not
having resided three years in the state
from the judicial bench, and, by adopt
ing lrWin's Code, required a residence
of five years for the position of State s
Attorney or Solicitor"
So far as Georgia is concerned, ut all
events, the carpet baggers do not fig
ure very largely in the state admins
tration.

(From the Atlantic Monthly for December,
The Modern Lady must do nothing
for Pay.

1t is one of the cherished dogmas of
the modern lady, that she must not
do anything far pay; and this misera-
BILE prejudice of senseless convention
ality is at this moment the worst OBJ
stacle in the way of feminine talent
and energy. Let the co operative
house-k keepers demolish it forever, by
declaring that it is just as necessary
and Just as honorable for wife to
earn money as it is for her husband /;
let them, moreover, resolve that time
and skill is what they will pay for, and
not sex, and the age will soon see what
efforts women can make after excel
lenee when there is hope of just re-
