4 Sterling Old Poem.

Who shall Judge man from his manners!
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams OF crystal nectar
Ever flowing ont of stone
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed, and overthrow.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While He values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters remember
That your meanest binds are men
Men of labor, men Of feeling,
Men of thought and men OF fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam -em broidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the bills.
God. who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves ana proHpers you anu hio,
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are az pebbles In the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth and fame,
Titled lazness II pe1sioned,
Fed and fattened on the same
Bv the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
vainly lifts its feeble voicd.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God, whose world wide voice is singing
Bouudless love to you and me,
Links oppression with lts titles
But AZ pebbles in the sea.

Let the Work Go On.

EDS. CHRONICLE My heart has been
rejoiced day after day as | have read the
excellent articles you have written in favor
of free schools. Right manfully have you
battled in a good cause; brilliant have
been the charges, effective the broadsides
which the enemy has received at your
hands. And not in vain has been the
fight; you have won q victory over which
all good men will join hands in thankful
ness. You have reused the dormant ener-
gies of men who had it in their power to
produce certain results by their influence
and these men have commenced work in
earnest. The result is just what might be
expected; fund is provided, without inn
psverishing any man, and the poor are to
receive instruction.
1t is said we do not value our blessings in
this world and I verify believe this bless
ing of free schools is greatly underestimate
ed by all classes. Why, sirs, / see a gIori-
Gus day dawning in Knox county! l see
an end to the reign of ignorance near at
hand. Prejudice, too, must vanish, as the
light emanating from the schoolroom
shall diffuse itself abroad.
But your work as public benefactors
is not finished. If you have lent
valuable aid in launching the good ship,
you must not consider your work all done,
or there will be a terrible wreck of all our
hopes. You must watch the expenditure
of every cent OF this school money. See
that every man who handles it gives q full
and accurate account of his stewardship.
The foes of this movement are just as de-
termined To defeat its aim as they ever
were, and if they can get men to control
the fund who will misapply it, their dear
est wish will be realized. Therefore. it is
your place to inquire into every mans pri-
vate character for honesty and capability,
who assumes to manage the school affairs
of our county. Do this as effectually as
you have labored for the cause heretofore,
and the youth of Knox county will rise
up and call you blessed Oh, is there a
more noble employment than laboring
for the good of the poor and unfortunatel
Think of the hundreds rescued from lives
of ignorance, idleness and sin by the in
struction received from faithful teachers
Think of this, and it will Tighten your ar
duous labors, and hold up your weary
hands. Yours, unreseryedly, 8.

KING WILLIAMS New Years reception
at Versailles has been alluded to in our tel
egraphic column. The occasion was sig
naiized by the following brief address from
his Majesty:
The great events which must have preceded
our celebration of such day in such place are
due to your hereism and perseverance,. and TO
the bravery of the soldiers. Our goal, however,
be performed before we shall achieve q lasting
peace, and it would be censurable to make any
peace which involves the continuation Of the
duties which brought us here

BL0UNTvILLE, Tenn, Jan. 2 1871.
To the Editors OF the Chronicle:
After q week of the coolest and most
disagreeable weather that we have expert
enced in upper Last Tennessee for several
years we again have the beautiful sun
shine and pleasant winter days. Our riv-
ers and creeks have been completely frozen
over, and mills of every description run by
water were so long at q stand still caused
by the ice, that those who had but limit
ed supply of meal and -four at the begin
ming of the I" freeze up,' almost suffered
before grinding could be done again. 1t
has been a remarkably fine season for
skating, and some of the skaters have paid
dear for their ftln--wet trowsers and ach-
ing limbs. One gentleman at Kingsport,
DR.. George Patton, came near being drown
ed by venturing too far on the ice, when it
gave way with him and plunged him into
ten feet water. He was rescued from this
perilous situation by some of the party
that were on the ice with him at the time
of the accident. Christmas passed Off
pleasantly to all, especially to the little
folks, who were beautifully supplied with
good things from Kris Kringle's store Of
plenty. The female school at this place.

which arc to be used for the benefit of the
school, in the purchase of a melodeon.
County Court organized to-day by select
ing the former Chairman, Col. George r..
McClelland, and also the old quorum, Ja-
cob Woford and David O. King. Thomas
b. Carnes was elected Census Taker. The
report of the Chairman showed that the
Republicans of this county, who have
been in office, have been prompt and relia-
BILE, and done their duty like men, with
one exception-a former Clerk. The gen.
tlemen that now fill the county offices are
all Democrats, and with one or two excep-
tons, they are all good men and accepta-
bic to even the Republicans of the county !;
and for the peace, quiet and good of the
county, we hope none of them have so far
violated the law, by holding office contra
ry to the provisions of the amendments to
the Federal Constitution, as to cause their
demand. Sullivan county, although in
tensely Democratic now, believe will ere
long vote with the party that favors libe-
raj system of education and protection to
home industries, and that IS the Republican
party. HENRY.

1T is painful to contemplate how lightly
human life is regarded all over the country.
Men are shot down, or fatally stabbed, up
on the slightest provocation, so that it real
" seems as il there was no safety to ones

US intelligence that two men were shot at
Jacksonport, Arkansas, a mans throat is
cut at Charleston, Mississippi, while still
another, who had disembowelled man at
Huntsville, Alabama, is taken from Jail
by band of disguised men, and killed
We can scarcely take up newspaper from
any part of the country that doesn con-
tain story of bloodshed and death. The
practice of killing men upon slight prove
cation is on the increase, and demands the
attention of our law-making and law-en-
forcing powers. practice in vogue, of 60
ing armed at all times should be diseour-
aged in every.possible way and men should
be forced to respect the lives of each other.
Until something of this character is done,
we may expect to hear of murder and
bloodshed.

The New York Sun says that, closely
following the announcement that Bishop
Potter had decided to forbid the elaborate
ceremonial at st. Adams Church in that
city, comes a report that DR.. Ever, of
Christ's Church, returned from Europe
considerably shaken in his belief that
" Professionalism is a failure" and that, in
consequence, the services in his church
will henceforth conform more closely to
those customary in the Episcopal places of
worship.

THE friends of free schools have reason
which the cause is favored by good men,
without regard to party. We hope the

Mayor and Aldermen, only for such men
as are openly and avowedly for the cause.
Men who dodge and skulk on this ques-
ton, are not fit to hold office.

Ex-SECRETARY Cox has long article
in the North american RerictC for the
present month, which is just issued, in
which he takes advanced grounds in favor
of civil service reform. He favors making
all routine officers subject TO competitive
examinations, open to all classes and par
ties. Under the present system. as prac
ticed since the days of Jackson, any appli-
cant for Office, no matter how mean his
qualifications, can with ease procure re-
commentators worthy of candidate for
the mission to st. James. 1t has become
so meaningless that no Cabinet officer dare
rely upon these endorsements, but must
seek information otherwise.
As collateral question, he discussed the
policy OF allowing Cabinet officers a seat in
Congress, as the English Ministry have in
Parliament.
With great hesitation, another and final
advantage of such change is submitted,
which we may not be permitted wholly to
overlook. AS the Cabinet would be before
the country, where their acts, opinions and
views could not be concealed, Cabinet
changes, like Ministerial crisises in other
constitutional governments, would carry
with them their own explanation, and be
freed from the degrading gossip concerning
personal motives and character, and the
compromising and contradictory stories of
newspaper 'interviewers,' which are now
the bane and the shame of American pol
itics.

HENRY WARD BEECHER is out in an
article in the Christian Union on the
Grant-Sumner ST. Domingo quarrel. He
sustains the President, and defends him on
his known purity of character and honesty.
He says the direct tendency of Mr.. Sum-
ner's speech was to create bitter feud
among the Republicans in Congress, and
TO commit some of them to declared and
permanent hostility against the Admins
tration. Such wrangle he deprecates.

of high standing and good character, died,
the Rev. DIR. Sabine, of Madison Avenue,
was called on to of1iciate at his funeral.
He consented until he learned he was an

sneeringly directed the gentleman who
waited upon him TO call upon

do it. The Rector referred TO, Rev. DIR.

ated. The latter has, for this christian act,
become very popular. The dramatic COM
