Re-GniOn of the 18th Mississippi
Regiment.

We have been requested, as will be
seen by the following letter, to announce
that there will be reunion of the glo-
rious old 18th Mississippi Regiment Ar
my of Northern Virginia, OF Meridian,
on the 9TH day of August next. 1t will
no doubt be gratifying to those who fol-
lowed the fortunes Of the 18th Reg
iment, under Robert Z. Lee to
meet again once more. We have
heard from good authority that mem
Der of the Clarke County Company has
in his possession the buIlet-pierced battle
flag around which the old 18th never
failed to rally, matters not how hot the
fire might have been. This flag should
also be at the reunion. 1t will be par
ticularly pleasant for the survivors to
meet, as but one member of that gallant
band, who survived the war, has proven
false to his old companions in arms, and
joined the oppressors of Mississippi, his
name we forbear, in pity, to mention.
Papers throughout the State'are request
ed TO notice the time and place of meet
ing the Louisville Banner, the Kosoi-
usko Leader, the Newton Ledger, Scooba
East Mississippian, the Clarke county
papers, and Meridian papers are particu-
larly requested to do SO, as the regiment
was formed of companies from their
counties:

strikes having in great measure killed the
building trade of the season. hundreds of
destitute mechanics are applying for work

a Voice from the Country,

Mr. Edtor-Having observed your course
of late on subjects which have a very direct
bearing on the temperance question, and no.
ting the censure and opposition which you re-
ccive from sources whence you might reason
ably expect support, / came to consider it a
duty to inform you Of the views of your sub
scribers out of town, concerning the temper
ance laws of your village, and just here let
me assert that we have a right 10 a word in
this matter.
We do not, ii is true, derive any direct ben
fit from the fines imposed upon drunkards
who are thrust into the lookup after being
thrust from your dens, upon the street. We
do not seek this. But we do seek protection
from the capricious actions and crimes of
drunken men. 1t is not pleasant TO be awak-
ened from slumber in the middle of the night,
or the small hours Of the morning, by the
howls OF intoxicated men returning to their
homes from town, especially if you nave a
distinct consciousness that as a result of their
revels, you will find, in the morning, your
withstand dissectcd, or your fences torn down.
We regard the action of yOur village council
upon such matters as the closing of saloons,
As exposing US directly to these evils, and we
call for ieform. The principal purpose. how
ever, of tbs article, MIR. Editor, is to express
our appreciation Of your praiseworthy and de-
cided course upon this subject, and TO assure
you Of the support of all whose appetites do
not control their reason. A. NC

Oh, can we see or can we hear
The streams OF Being flowing clear,
That day by day and year by year,
ln lesser being swift appear?
God hideth all-Himself most dread,
In light anC silence garmented.
The shining days His records keep;
The night His scattered splrndors reap;
Ills crystal chamber is the deep;
his selfthrown shade createth sleep.
Hills at his touch give fame for flame;
The seas soft thunders roll His name.
He walks the vicwless waves of air;
The wild beasts, listening In their lair,
With singing birds His bounty share,
And all things living crowd His care.

Whose all is Love, whose Love is All
Fair round His ieet the flOcks rcpose;

The mountain drops its crown of SHOWS |;
The wilderness reveals its rose;
Even the senseless rock is drest
For JOY OF Him in mossy vest.

And yet lie IS! the glad Earth cries
EXulting with exultant skies;

Unseen He breaks the daily bread,
Wherewith our living souls are fed
We know not when He lifts our head,
Nor how the heart is c0miOrtcd.
We only know the cloud of sin
From His pure presence shuts us in.

In their unrest we slowly learn
The sweet construint of our return
To Love that for its own doth yearn.
From Him we came-to Him wego;

M Editor-It is now thiriy-four years since
the township of Ashtabula was divided-the
northern portion retaining its name aud the
southern portion taking the name of Ply
mouth. The object of the petitioners for the
division of the township was, first, to build up
town, and thereby enhance the value OF
their property. There were other important
reasons, which the writer need not now men,
tion. The fond hopes of the petitioners have
never been realized, and never can be, for il
may now be taken for granted that no consid-
cradle place can be built up within several
miles of Ashtabula. Ashtabula has now three
railroads and is destined to be great town.
The Ashtabula & jamestown Branch brings
the people of Plymouth much nearer to Ash
tabula than before, and it is now believed that
it is for the interest of the two townships to
be reunited, and for that purpose and to that
end petition will be presented to the Com
missicners of Ashtabula county. The people
of Plymouth go to Ashtabula to do their bus
iness, and there too, they 60 for pleasure. We
are one people in tact, let US be so in form.
We have been divorced once,
But TO all its now plain
That we love as of old,
So we'll marry again.
Do you ask who's the writer?
Then with truth be it said,
1t is one who's in lore
And determined to ICED.

Still, through thy foul disguise, see
The rudimental purity,

Thy birthright claim of womanhood;
An inward loalhing, deep, intense;
shame that is halt innocence.

Rise from the dust thou liest in, "a

Reclaim thy lost soul in His name,

Deacon Smiths Courtshlp.

The Deacon's wagon stopped one
morning before Widow Jones' door, and
gave the usual sign that lie wanted some
body in the house by dropping the reins
and sitting double, with his elbows OH
his knees. Out tripped the widow, live
ly as cricket, with tremendous black
ribbons on her snow white cap. Good
morning was said on both sides, and the
widow waited for what was further to
be said.
"Well, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you
don't want to sell ore of your cows,
now, for nothing, any way, do you ?"
"Well, there! Mr.. Smith, you couldn't
have spoke my mind better. A poor
lone woman like me, does not know
what to do with so many creeters, and
should be glad to trade if we can fix it,"
So they adjourned to the meadow,
near by, Deacon Smith looked at Roam,
then at the Downing cow-then at 5the
widow again-and so on through the
whole forty.
The same call was made every day for
a week; but the Deacon could not de-
eide. On a Saturday, when the widow
Jones was in hurry to get through
with her baking for Sunday, and had ey-
er so much to do in the house, as all
farmers wives and widows have on Sat-
urday, she was little impatient. Dea-
Con Smith was as irrcsolute as ever
''That ere short-horned Durham COW

Here he sighed at the allusion to the
late Mr.. Jones she sighed, and both
looked at each other 1t was highly
interesting moment.

A long stare succeeded this speech. The
pause was getting awkward, and at last
