The Southern symbol.
BY ALBERT PIKE.


.t BY ALBERT PIKE.
What, what ia the true Southern symbol.
The symbol of honor and right,
The emblem that suits q brave people
In arms against numbers and might? ..
'Tis the ever green stately magnolia,
It's pearl flowers pure as the truth,
Defiant OF tempest and lightning,
It's life perpetual youth.
French blood stained with glory the lilies.
While centuries marched to th"'r grave,
And over bold Scot and gay Irisn
The thistle and shamrock yet wave
Ours, ours be the noble magnolia, f~'
That only on Southern coil grows,
The symbol of life everlasting;
Dear to us as to England the rose.
Paint the flower on field blue as Heaven,
Let the broad leaves around it be seen,
''Sempervirens" the eloquent motto,
Our colors the blue. white and green.
Type Of chivalry, loyalty, virtue,
In winter and summon the same, =
Full Of leaf, full of flower, full OF vigor,
1t BELTS those who fight for q namo...'
For name among earth's ancient nations,
Yet more for tho truth and tho right,
For freedom, for proud Independence, ,'
The old strife of darkness and light,
Round the world bear the flag OF DUR glory,
While tho,nations look on and admire,
And our struggle, immortal in story.
Shall the trccin all ages inspire.

INGENIOUS CHARADEs.-A novel plan
of drawing-room charades is thus de-
scribed by participator:
The curtain of tho back drawing room
was drawn aside, and we were rather sur
prised to see nothing but q wooden rock
inghorso on the temporary stage. We
were told to guess an island in the Greek
Archipelago. After some demur, one
individual, brighter than the rest, ex-
claimed "Delos-deal horse" Right.
The curtain fell, and, after pause, rose
again, displaying to the astonished look
ers-on the very identical, irrepressible
rocking horse, with his head i'll the con-
trary direction. We were told to guess
another island in tho Greek Archipela-
go: There was dead silence. Some
one vainly suggested "Chios," mispro-
nounced ''shy horse" but that would
not do. for the "deal horse" was as steady
rs old time AT length small boy, lace
from school, excleimed "Samos," and it
was the "same horse" Tho curtain fell
amidst roars of laughter. The next
scene was portly gentleman of middle
age. who was met by young girl, who
said. Doctor, L am glad to meet you"
a word of five syllables. Give it up.
taphysician-met n physician" The
curtain fell and was again drf in upt
only to exhibit tho same portly gentle
man and the girl.mecting again. A word
Of three syllables. Mctuphor-met
afore" was tho solution.

To CLEAN WHITE KIDS A lady friend
gives us suggestion that will save thou
sands, and is especially valuable to those
whose circumstances in life demand eco
nomy. To clean white or colorcd kid
gloves, put them on and rub them well
with corn meal. This persisted in for q
few minutes will render them nearly as
good rs new. Try it, young miss, before
throwing away pair after the first wear

On Saturday afternoon last there
| happened All affair in onr section which
stard forever, in tho memory of MI, as A
most S"lrmm warning against the too free
nsc Of ardent spirits. An nlIair in which
two intilnnte friends, both under the in.
tincncc Of liquor. fell to qnar.cling, and
the one shot and killed the other. The
actors in this most melancholy scene were
DR.. William II. West, of Liberty Hill,
and Dr. Thomas II. Patterson, living
eight or nine miles below tho village.
DR.. West was the victim, and he is now
lying IN n bloody grave. On his way
from Augusta he stopped at DR.. Pattcr-
sons residence for a nci3hborIy visit and
friendly chat. Tho two friends drank
together, 4unrrelcd and fought aud the
reslIlt was us We have stated above Dr..

his life. Neither one coula rcmcmhcr

friends Of these Gamilies arc filed with
gloom at this latncntable occurrence.
