A lark In nthe mesh of the tangled vine,
A bee that browns in the Hower-cup's wine
fly in the sunshine,-such is man.
AL things must end, as all began.
A little pain, little pleasure,
little heaping-up of treasure,
Then no more gazing upon the sun.
all things must end that have begun.
Where is the time for hope or doubt?
A puff of the wind, and life is out.
A turn of the wheel, and rest is won,
All things must end that have be-
Golden morning and purple night,
Life that falls with the failing light!
Death is the only deathless one.
All things must end that have begun.
Ending waits on the brief beginning.
Is the prize worth the stress of winning?
Fen in the dawning the day is done.
All things must end that have begun.
Weary waiting and weary striving,
Glad outsetting and sad arriving;
What is it worth when the goal is won?
All things must end that have begun.
Speedily fades the morning glitter;
Love grows irksome and wine grows bitter.
Two are parted from what was one.
All things must end that have begun.
Toll and pain and the evening rest,
Joy is weary and sleep is best,
Fair and softly the day is done.
All things must end that have begun.

into her mind principles of right and
truth.
One day she stood at the door of the
dining-room, looking with great earnest
ness at a basket of fine peaches which
was on the table. Nelly knew she should
not touch them without leave, but the
temptation was strong. Soon her mother.
who was watching her from another room
saw her bow her head and cover her
face with her little hands.
"What ails you, Nelly?" she said
The child started, not knowing she
was watched.

KNOXVILLE, Jan. 25.-Gov. BrOwnlow
will resign his position as Governor Of
tennessee, to take effect about the 10Th
of February, at which time he will start
for Washington to take his seat in the
Senate, on the 4th March, as the sue
eessor of Judge Patterson. His unex-
pired term will be filled by Hon De-
Witt Senter, the present Speaker of the
Senate. Mr.. Senter has been in public
life in this State for many years, has
given satisfaction to his constituents, and
has many warm personal friends, who
will give his administration their hearty
support Like all the prominent Union
men of East Tennessee, he has some
checkered spots in his war record, but all
disabilities resulting therefrOm have
been removed by Congress. He seems
to have the confidence of his party, and |

administration. He lacks, think, the

Gov. Brownlow to hold together his party

much mistaken, the work of disintegra-

ASoTHER HORROR.
Summary Execution Of Two
Horse Thieves.
The Masked HOrsemen Again

We learn by an arrival from Madison
county, yesterday, the particulars of a
terrible tragedy perpetrated by band of
masked and disguised regulators, at Pop
lar Corner, Madison county, on Monday
morning last.
Two men, or rather man and youth,
named John Fox and Sam Wesley Tays
lor, stole pair Of horses from some one
in the county and carried them to Dyers-
burg and sold them. The theft was dis
covered and they were pursued, arrested
and turned over to an officer Of the law,
Squire Lawrence, for trial and punish
ment
On Monday morning, q half hour be-
fore daylight, the jail was surrounded
by body of armed men numbering ff-
teen or twenty, masked and otherwise
disguised, who took the prisoners from
from their cells, carried them a half
mile or so into the country, and shot
them to death
Fox is represented as having been a
man of forty to forty FIVE years old, but
Taylor was a mere beardless youth, The
bodies were literally riddled, each hav,
ing from fifteen to twenty bullet holes in
them. The greatest excitement prevails
at Jackson, aud the deed is generally
condemned by all classes of citizens.
Poplar Corner is a thoroughly Radical
precinct, and it is surmised that person
OF that party committed the deed. AT
the coroners inquest nothing was elicit
ed save that the deed was done, by whom
none knew, to quote their own words,
any more than if they had dropped from
the clouds. Poplar Corner evidently
