With her long, light. yellow hair,

And she loved me, loved me, so,
Though was gray and old
And her face was so wise, and so sweet to see,
And il still looked living when she lay dead,
And she used to plead for mother and me

The Immortality Of Fairy Stories.

Jack and the Beanstalk, Puss in Boots,
the gallant and quiXotic Giant-killer, and
dearest Cinderella, whom every one must
have loved, I should think, ever since we
first knew her in her little brown pinafore !;
I wondered, as [ shut them all up for the
night between their green boards what it
was that made these stories so fresh and
vivid. Why did they not fall to pieces, vanish,
explode, disappear, like so many Of their
contemporaries and descendants And
yet far from being forgotten and passing
away, it wOu',1 seem as if each generation
in turn, as it came into the world, looks
to be delighted still by brilliant pageant,
and never tires or wearies of it. And on
their side princess and princesses never
seem to grow anyolder the castles and
the lovely gardens flourish without need
OF repair or whitewash, or plumbers, or
glaciers.
The. princesses' gowns, too-sun, moon,
and star color-do not wear out, or pass
out of fashion, or require altering. Even
the seven-leagued boots do not appear to
be the worse for wear. Numbers of reals

H., to whom I made this remark, said
from the opposite chimney corner. "No

The Georgia Convention and their Pay

A Stormy Session, &c.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 23.-The Conven-
ton met this morning, and Immediately
took recess until P. NJ, to give an OPP
portunity to negotiate a loan to pay the
expenses of the body. The afternoon ses-
sion was exceedingly stormy. The Finance
Committee failed to secure loan, and re-
ported an ordinance to authorize further
effort, which was defeated on he ground
that nothing could be done. The report
of the commissioner sent to Milledgeville
to draw $40, 900 from the State Treasurer
was received. It says that he showed the
State Treasurer the ordinance of the Con
vention, with General Pope's authorize
ton and direction endorsed, and that the
Treasurer said he must decline paying ou
any money on such authority, being sworr
to obey the constitution and laws OF Geor
gia, and was bonded only to pay warrant
signed by the Governor.
During the debate that ensued a delegat
said the Treasurer had slrubbed the Con
ventio4. Another said he would God th,
Convention could suubb Gen. Pope. Th,
negro Bradley said the sergeant-at-arrn
should be sent with a file OF soldiers t,

Hon +. NJ. T. Hunter, one of the most
talented and conservative of Virginia's
statesmen, delivered speech before the
Conservative Convention of that State on
the 18th, which deserves notice He coun-
seled such action as would promote the
welfare OF the Commonwealth, hoped that
the cup of universal negro Suffrage would
not be pressed TO their lips sketched the
effects OF conflict between the races in a
bold and truthful manner, and then, turn
ing to the more agreeable consideration of
a reaction from Radical extremes, he adj
vised patient endurance and manly forti-
tude /; trials constituted discipline Virginia
would revive; "there is wealth in the
earth ; let us plough, dig, and mine for it ;
there is wealth in our falling waters and
Running streams they will turn the mill

drives the car, propels the boat, and turns

fleets. 1t is for the people of Virginia to
say whether we have not the mon to de-

WASHINGTON, December "a.
The President has positively decided to
remove General Pope from command of
the Third Military District. The official
order will not be issued for few days, or
until his successor has been determined on.
Gen. Mead was telegraphed for yesterday.
and was in conference with Mr.. Johnson
to-day, but it has not been decided to name
him. 1t will probably be either Meade or
Thomas. This intelligence is derived from
an official quarter.
