Eighteen months ago not a vestige of
Birmingham, Ala, was in existence.
Two RAILROADS happened to cross there,
and see the result: Birmingham is a
city of bttween four and five thousand
inhabitalts and is continually growing.
45 houses are now in course of erection;
90 brick buildings have already been
built, 6 churches, hotels, 8 drag stores,
II saloofs, 3 mixed schools of from 40
to 60 pupils each, 3 livery stables, / Ma
tional bank with a capital of $3.50, 900. ?
newspapers and n job printing office.
There were 776 votes polled at the last
etection,there being a great many per-
sons noteligible to vote. On last Satur-
day evening there We're 119 cars stand
ing at tin depot to be unloaded. The
comfy n which this city is situated is
poor-v,ry poor-yet the crossing of
two railroads has worked these Won
ders. Giles county is 'rieh-very rich
and Pulaski is already tlourishing. The
following diagram represents the sys-
tenn of railroads proposed to be built
through Giles county, and who with
the least penetration cannot see what
viii bethe result?

EDITOR CITIZEN As an item of in
terest to your readers, especially those
who live in this immediate vicinity,
take pleasure in chronicleing the most
important social event of the season,
which occurred at the residence of Mr..
Thos. G. Jones on the evening of the
2sth inst. The occasion was the cele-
bration of the birthday of his son, John
r. Jones, the handsome and obliging
clerk of Messrs. Wells & Grow, of your
city. Not to consume too much of your
valuable space, I will simply say that
the evening was spent by large and
brilliant assemblage of the youth and
beauty Of the neighborhood in the fasci-
mating dance and in participating in the
bounteous Inequalities Of Mr.. and Mrs,
Jones. Johnnie, the bright and glowing
youth, with his accomplished and beau
tifui sister, rendered valuable assistance
in entertaining the guests.

The Charter Oak Stove is the most in
teresting and important feature in fun
lily economy, for it fills the house with
warmth, the table with good cheer, and
prevents that dreary aspect and indi-
gestible meals that brings sourness of
temper, discomfort and dissatisfaction.

conversation he remarked to the bishop:
9 That was mighty pretty little affair
up there at the city on Monday"
What affair ?" asked Potts.
" Why, that wedding; McGrath's
widow, you know--married by proxy"
You don't say, replied the bishop
i did not know that McGrath was dead
Yes; died on Sunday, and that night

Well, you see there were fifteen of

Immediately lost his reason and would

ACCEPT THE SITUATION.


If disappointment dogs your steps,
It's hard to help repining;
But small philosophy its shows
To 90 forever whining.
Having done all that man do
To make or win occasion,
Come just without too much concern,
Accept the situation.
Whether from pleasures iaunting bar
You happen to be tilted,
Or whether by handsome girl
You happen to be Tilted,
Don't dedicate your time and lungs
To useless objurgation,
But, picking up your limbs and heart
Accept the situation.
Suppose the motive of your act
Has been brave and true one;
That's just the reason why some folks
viii coin false and new one;
And shrug dubious shrug, and drop
The sly insinuation-
But trusting right, and waiting light,
Accept the situation.
The world is full of ups and downs,
And many curious turnings
And some big men are only clowns,
For all your weak heart-burnings.
Better the lowly, it is true,
Than the loftest pinchbeck station
The trues a rock can stand the shock
Accept the situation.
Lfcs train is whirling past, old boy;
In what class do you journey ?
First, second, third the speed the same;
If third, the first needn't spurn ye.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Behold the final station
Not then we may, but then we must,
Accept the situation.
