A LEGEND OF ST. CHRISTOPHER.

TAprObus, q Syrian blacksmith OF renowned
stature and wonderful strength, having deter
mined that he would serve none but the might
lest King, went seeking him through the world.
Failing TO find whom he sought, 50 long as he
trusted to hls ewn guidance, he finally asked q
thoughtful hermit 70 tell him what to do. BE
directed him 10 station himself ON the bank of q
dangerous ford, where many pilgrims yearly lost
their lives In crossing, and TO carry over all who
required his aid; and thus humbly serving his
feliow-men, he might serve the greatest King,
and hope to see Him.
Ere long Christ the Lord, who holds the seas
in the hollow of His hand, came to the fording
place in the guise Of little boy and asked TO be
"Carry me acrossl" HE ~
The Syrian heard, rose up and braced
His huge limbs to the accustomed toll;
"My child see how the waters boil!
The night black heavens look angry faced
But life is little loss.
'cITI carry thee with Joy,
II needs be, safe as nesting dove;
For DER this stream, pilgrims bring,
In service TO one Christ, King,
Whom have never seen, yet love-"
"I thank thee" said the boy.
Cheerful, Aprobus took
The burden on his shoulders great
And stepped into the waves once more
When, loi they leaping rise and roar,
And meath the little child's light weight
The tottering giant shook.
Struggling in the middle of the ford;
''Boy, as thou loOkest, it seems to me
The whole worlds load bear In thee,
Yet "FOr the sake of Christ, thy Lord,
Carry me, (" said the child.
No more Aprobus swerTed,
But gained the farther bank; and then
A voice cried, Hence Christophorus be;
For, CARRYING, thou hast carried Me,
The King of Sngels and Of men, ~
The Master thou hast served"
And, in the moonli ght blue,
The saint saw-not the wandering boy,
But Him who walked upon the sea,
And DER the plains Of Galilee,
TIL, filed with mystic, sw full joy,
His dear LOrd-Christ he knew.
OH little is all loss,
And brief the space 'twixt shore and shor
II thou, Lord Jesus, on us lay,
Through the deep waters OF our way,
The burden that ChristOphoros bare,
To carry thee acrossl

To the Editor Of the Union and American:
ASHLAND CITY, Oct. 10, 1872.-Think-
ing perhaps that 3 few items from our lit
tie city and county would not be entirely
void OF interest, have concluded to drop
you q line or two, if found worthy Of place
in the oPeople's." The otherwise smooth
surface of affairs have recently been dis
turbed by two attempted homicides In
our usually quiet and law abiding commu-
nifty. First, Mr.. Brady shot and quite
severely wounded Mr.. Valentine, who is
thought to be recovering and likely to get
we'll Secondly, Mr. Farmer shot and
quite severely wounded Mr.. Noe, the
charge Of the gun lodging principally in the
arm, making amputation necessary; also
few shot striking the body, perhaps pene-
trating the bowels. His chances Of recov-
cry are very slight. Neither party engaged
in the shooting has been arrested. We
forbear giving particulars, as perhaps both
cases may undergo judicial investigation.
A few days since ESQ, Bryan fell from the
top of q house which be was recovering,
and striking q bee gum in his fall, 1t is
thought by bis physicians, broke several OF
his ribs. he is resting more quietly this
morning and symptoms more favorable.

moving IN the Right DIrocaion.

We notice the following call in the
Nashville papers, and are advised
that simultaneous movement Of
the farmers of the entire State is in
progress.
Won't some Of our prominent
farmers set the ball rolling in old
Madison, aud that Immediately? G..
To the Farmers OF Davidson Co,ty.
The Farmers of Davidson county,
feeling that they are entitled to q
fair share of representation in the
councils Of the State, by reason of
aggregate numbers and aggregate
wealth; and feeling anxious to be
properly represented in the APP
preaching County Convention to Sc
lect candidates for this county to
the next Legislature; and believing
it very important to have suitable
candidates to represent the indus
trial and agricultural class, q call is
hereby made for every farmer in
Davidson county to meet at the
Courthouse in this city on the next
Saturday, the 9Th inst, for the pur-
pose Of taking such action in the
premises as may be deemed adVisa-
bic to secure proper representation
of this class of our citizens.
1t is needless to urge upon farm
ers to attend, for they have long
since felt that their interests have
been sadly neglected, and that they
will continue to be sighted in flu
ture; and that the farmers will con-
tinue to be heWers of wood and
drawers of water, and the mudsills
Of society so long as they are con-
tent to let others go forward and
act for them by incorporating
them.
Let us 90 TO work and so act that
we will have a voice in saying who
shall represent this great interest
which YitaliZes every interest in
this and every other community
Let us rally then, brother farmers,
from the lethargy into which we
have fallen, and let us shake from
our energies the shackles with
which demagogues and wouId-be-
statesmenihavej bound us. Let US
therefore, come together next Sat
urday and take such steps as may
result in great good to us in the flu
ture. 1t is desirable that all our
farmers rise up and meet and take
counsel together. Let no one stay
at home, but may all attend. We
suggest similar course to the far
mers of every county in Tennessee.
