You've been on your legs with bundles

DEAD LEAVES.

From The NGtO York EVeIin0 AdR.
A. golden robin whIstled In tho elm,
A shlyered lance OF gold slipped through the
leaves,
The titial Autumn leaves sang low and
trlBt,
And In the valley, under violet mist,
Tho bending cleaners bound their golden
HheAveE.
A-doWn tho quiet air the painted leaves,
Rns9et, and gold, and crimson, driited slow
Badness was In all sound that golden moo n,
the stir ofdeAl leavesand the robins tune,
And the faint ring Of Blckles from below.
Long stood VIC thus, we'll knowing change
was near,
tef-Bweet,
Most 81 n perfect day We wandered thus to.
But where would AutumnS wild aud
stormy weather
Find US, the bird, tho dead leaves at our feet9
The robin sings his song l'the elm again.
Thrice have the cleaners bound their golden
BheaveB;
But W. who stood hand clAsped-Our lives
arc riven
Wider apart than this sad earth from
heaven,
And love, and faith, are only as dead leaves.

GEORGIA.


ATLANTA, june 22 The Supreme Court of
Georgia to-day decided thot the cade of Geor-
gia, adopted by. the new Constitution, forever
prohibits marriage relations between white
persons and persons of African descentand de-
clares such marriages null and void; second
that this section Of the code is not repealed.
nor is it inconsistent with that part OF the Com
stitution which declares that the social stains
of a citizen shall never be the subject Of legis-
lation; that clause of the Constitutions abso-
lutely denies to the Legislature power to pass
laws in future regulating the social status or
compelling the two races to unite in social in
tercourse. NJ = e--1 e--1 I
AS the laws then in existence allowed the
churches, for instance, to determine for them
selves who should occupy their seats and where
they should sit, and permitted railroad and
steamboat companies and hotel keepers to clas-
SHY and arrange places to those using their ac-
Communications, according to their social status
and grade, as they might think proper, the
Constitution puts It beyond the power Of the
Legislature ever to enact any law compelling
them to make different classifications or to
group together, in social intercourse. those
who do do recognize each other as social eau ais.
As the social relations Of citizens are not a
proper subject Of legislation, the Constitution
has wisely put the matter at rest by denying
the Legislature the power to repeal or enact
