The Blessings of Toll.

HO, all who labor, all who strive!
Ye WELD a lofty power;
Do with your might, do with your strength
Fill every golden hour.
The glorious privilege to do
is mans most noble dover.
o, to your blrthright and yourselves,
To your own souls be true!
A weary, wretched life Is theirs
WHO have no work to doc. f. OfTe.

Beauty.

That beauty is not, as fond men mIsdeem
An outward show OF things, that only seem ;
But that fair lamp, from whose celestial ray
That light proceeds, which kindleth lovers
fire,
Shall never be extfnguished nor decay,
But when the vitaTspirits do expire,
Unto her native planet shall retire.
For it is heavenly born and cannot die,
Being parcel of the purest sky.

Despair.

Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through hts cypress trees (!
Who, hopeless. lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mOurnf ful marbles play;
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
The truth, to flesh ana sense unknown,
That life is ever lord of death,
Aud love can never lose its Vn.-IF-hiltier

Example,.

Whene'er a noble deed Is wrought,
Whene'er is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts, in glad surprise,
To higher levels rise.
The tidal waves of deeper souls
Into our inmost being rolls,
And lifts US unawares
Out of ali meaner cares.-LOnQJellolO

Dedication of a Cemetery.

! The EdCefield Colored Benevolent Soci-
ety's Cemetery was dedicated on Sunday
last. This cemetery, situated on the Brick
Church pike about four miles from the city,
was purchased by the Colored Benevolent
Socity of Edgefeld, who invited all the So
cieties in Nashville to participate in the ded-
ication ceremonies. The procession was
formed on Main street, Edgefeld, about
haf past nine O'Clock, with the following
societies in line: Sons of Relief, about ESQ
members, Benevolent Order No. l, about
800 members, Mechanics Society, about
200 members, Peoples Aid Society,
100 members, Brothers of Charity of Edge
field, about 200 members, Benevolent Order
No. 2 of Edgeield above $50 members. In
the rear Of the procession were carriages
and other vehicles with school children and
members of charitable female societies,
making altogether a long and imposing
line, under the direction of w. III. Wash
ington, Chief Marshall, and Jerry Childress,
President of the day. There were also sew
eral bands of music in the procession, and
the display made, as We as the order OBJ
served, was creditable to all concerned. On
the grounds 1t is estimated that there were
six thousand persons present. Speeches
were made by Rev. r. Venable of Edge
field, Elder Richard Howard, Rev. James
Caruthers, and Elder George Bartee. The
order Of exercises at the grounds com
menced with singing by the schools.

A BenuttruI OomporitIon.

Among the many excellent essays read
by the graduates of Wards Seminary, may
be mentioned that one entitled, ''Speck on
the Horizon" by Miss Lucy Belle Clai-
borne Of this city. Its humorous original
ity, sparkling rhetoric, elevated diction and
varied grace, rendered it one of the most
interesting of the many heard by the
audience. Being Eead in clear and dis
tinct voice by its graceful and accomplish
ed author, its merits were truly appreci-
ated, as was evidenced by the numerous
floral tributes bestowed on the young lady.
We make this reference not through aa in
vidious distinction, bit because having
been allowed the pleasant privilege of read
ing the essay, we were enabled to ascertain
its character critically better than we could
the others, all Of which a ties, the thorough
literary culture and educational elegance
impaired to the pupils of this academy.

nOsrON CASH GIRLS.

The little cash girls of Boston, according
TO the bureau Of statistics of Massachusetts,,
have a hard time of it, and they receive
small pay for the mental service. In the
large stores ia Boston, for instance, these
cash or errand girls haven't five min
utes leisure at time. In fancy goods
stores they are sometimes placed at coun-
trWhsre small wares are for sac. 1t is the
practice among some shopkeepers to deduct
from the pay Of these girls the price Of aBy
article which they may break, and the
result is that when Saturday night
comes the poor things have hardly any
money to carry home. The articles
generally are fragile in their get up, aud
are susceptible Of being broken by almost
Winking at them. In one particular in
stance the mother Of one OF these chill
lren applied to The keeper of shop for
relief, but he said it was his custom, al
though the child had succeeded in selling
the injured article at the full price, the
shop keeper thus defrauding the girl, and
getting larger amount than he otherwise
would have obtained for the toy. These
cash-giIls are paid from S1.50 to 81 per
week for running their little legs almost
off in response to the frantic cry of cash.
In this connection the commissioners say
they found large numbers of children en-
ployed in city stores, manufactures, Off
ces, etc, who attend no school the year
through. Our figures, derived from data
given under cath TO the State Board of Ed
ucation for the year ending April 1, 1871,
put the non-attendants at over s, 600, or 20
per cent out of child population of 46, 300
between five and fifteen years of age in Bos-
ton. The parents plead necessity aud the
pressure Of poVerty-putting
their children to work at the earliest age st

T GENTLEl1EN: Tie undersigned use the
sspateDt outsldes" referred to in the address
delivered before The Tennessee Press Asso-
cialtoE By The represent sissjs &c tie n sslA
vile Typographical .AssociaGion, and while
he Heartily approves the aesion ot The Con-
Fension in the premises, he is unwilling
that the address of the Union above re-
ferred TO shall 20 before ths4worId without
an answer. He believes that; the investiga-
ton ordered by the Press Association VIII
Tefute the assertions of the Union, but is
unwilling that they shall have the benefit
that is to be defiged ffom unanswered as
seTtions, until the truth MAY be eliminated
by an investigation.
The first sssufnption of the union Is that
sit isinjurioIs to the public" The public
are free TO take these papers orsnot, as they
ike. IL they take them it is proof Of their
not being Injurious. if it does not, the paper
dies and that is an end of it. The illustra-
ton in regard to advertising is unfortunate.
for If the tendency is to reduce the price.
that is benefit to the public, though an iniu-
~ to the publisher. Therefore If We are
willing to risk the loss, the Union has no
right to complain. The home advertiser
may exact the same rates If he sees proper,
that the foreign advertiser does ami it Is OPP
tionary with the Publisher whether he ae-
cepls. IAN papers discriminate, charging
less for some work than other. y =. aS -.
As toithe second. objection, that it islfn-
just to the printer, etc. The illustration
used conVinces us Of the wisdom Of The
move. Reduction in the price of compost
ton is what we have a right to demand and
if we can euforce it in this way alright
As 10 third objection. II the trade is
oYerstocked boys should grayitate toward
the farm where there is room for ALL ..-,
4. The home advertiser is not compelled
to do any such thing, he need not take any
benefit If be don't want it. 49, -,
5. BY the system the reader gets more
reading matter than by the old PLAN. ssa6 !.
As to ineonveniences and delays, they
are nothing compared with the necessity Of
relying upon drunken tramps and self con-
celted members ofthe Union. l91 siifii G.
The spirit Of pride alluded to is com
mendable If confined to the mechanical de.
parment of the art preseryative, but It ii
not pride, but impertinent oiliciousness
when the mechanic who risks oIdy his skill
should dictate to the proprietor who fur
nishes an equal amount in another depart
ment and in addition risks his money and
character in the venture.

To the Editor Of the Union and American:
Any man wishing to see industrious and
eontented Ia orers, let him take stroll to
Mr.. Bush's brick-yard, West Nashville.
There he can see as happy a gang Of work
ers as ever moulded brick or compounded
material for it. There can be seen that the
lash need not be brought into reqnisition
any longer; that the gentle, yes command
ing tones Of a foreman who knows his bus
mess, can supply its place to advantage.
j. II. Colnors is vel qualified for the
position, ard he gives his orders without
assuming any authority, and is obeyed with
cheerfulness.
In the opinion Of the writer, when IN
deltakers Of any pursuit place such fOremen
as Mr.. COnnOrs is over their hands, the
word JGjllGre viii be unknown to them.
