The Mountain SHADOW.

The Mountain Shadow.
When down the drowsy summer-sky,
The sun through western hazes wheels,
O'er rocks, and stream, and wood and town,
The shadow Of the mountain steals;
And, feeling up with cool gray hand,
Itquenches ali the golden fires
That grow upon the rambling roofs,
And burn upon the village spires.
And on the restless mountain-feld,
That break and mend in every breeze,
1t creeps-and all grows cold and still,
AS when the Master soothed the seas;
And meadOw-brds come circling down,
And drop within some grassy nest,
Ere yet The sun has spent Its fires"
And fades from cut the naked west.
And as the shade comes creeping on,
The glOoms grow purple in the glens;
And damp. dull breathings rise and float
From out the iaurelS dusky fens;
And on. AMI on, it comes and steals,
With sOundleSS, slow but ain feet,
And gathers in the WOODS and fields,
And OveIwhelms the valley sweet.
A mellow charm is over all;
The rockd upon yOn mountains lelge
Had lost their frOwn as though some hand
Have gently soOthed each rugged edge.
The fretful pines their harshness ose;
And fields where winds in many keys,
In jarriny notes run, through and through,
Are stllled to gentle, hazy seas.
| stand within the mountain shade
My sun is fading down the west
My birds have circed to their homes
Ny hills have lost their golden crest.
The shadow wraps the road Ive come;
And slowly, slowly, up the spre,
1t lifts its solemn, steady hand,
To quench my souls last, feeble fire
o tender. death preSa ging shade!
The rude and rough OF vanished days,
The bitter wrongs, the vexing hates,
Are mellOwed IN thy dimming haze.
0 lift thy shadow to mine eyes;
hat drifting o t to dimmer seas,
All blind to lies harsh, jarIing scenes;
This soul may go in perfect ease.

The hour of parting is now
drawing near, in which the sa-
cred link that has so strongly
bound us in the social ties of
friendship must be severed, but,
kind friends, before departing we
tender you our grateful thanks
for your cheering presence to-
night. Having labored here
day after day in search of knowl-
edge, it is most truly encourag-
ing to greet at the close of our
school so many kind and snil-
ing friends. We thank you,
aged fathers and mothers, who
have gone so far upon your
voyage, you whose hairs are
silvered by the trosts Of many
winters, and whose brow is be-
decked by the pearls of expert
ence, we thank you, that you
SO kindly smile upon IL who
are jnSt launching our feeble
bark upon the turbulent waters
of life. Your voyage will soon
be ended, while ours is just be-
gun, and we tremble to think,
that we so soon must take your
place in the broad theatre of ac-
ton. We will ever cherish a
grateful remembrance Of you,
and when the great waters Of
despair are gathered around us,
0, may the light of your ex-
ample, ever act as beacon light
to guide us'in the path of ,ir-
tue, and may the encouraging
smiles that we have received
from you tonight, inspire us
with new energy to struggle on,
until life's battles are fought
and its victories won.
Kind teachers, we sincerely
thank you, for the kind admo-
nitions, and faithful instruction
which you have given us. And,
dear companions, to you / ten
der the sincere gratitude Of my
heart for the kindness | have
received from you.
Our associations must now
cease-perhaps forever. It is
sad to part without the assur-
ance of meeting again, but eve
ry sweet has its bitter, and eve
ry sunbeam It's corresponding
shadow, so our happy school
hours must be closed; but
though the golden link which
has united Us as a school-band |
must now be broken, Oh, may !
the sacred ties Of friendship new
er be severed, but rather
strengthened with the parting. |
When we leave this stage to i
take our place in the busy world, |
be assured that | will ever cher
ish a grateful remembrance of |
you, and, in the language of
another
Il hope you will all remember me.
If YOU ON earth no more see.
Oe0uld stay With friends so kind,
How would t cheer my dropping mind,
But duty makes me understand,
That We must take the parting hand"
So now, dear companions,
kind teachers and friends, ] bid
you all farewell, hoping, that
when done with life, our souls
robed in spotless purity, may be
transferred from earth to heaven,
to sparkle forever within the
pearly gates of the New Jeru-
salem, whore we will no more
take the parting hand.

Our Tennessee Railroads.


The MorristOwn Gazette has
hitherto had a monopoly of the
railroad war in Tennessee, and
crystalizes its views as follows
l. Nearly all the railroads of
the State were built principally
by State and county aid, the
balance of the cost being fur
nished mainly by private stock
subscriptions among the farm
ers and others along the various
lines, and not by the capital of
those who now control the roads.
2. This private stock, which
constituted only comparative
ly small portion of the cost of
the roads, has passed out of the
hands and control of those who
furnished even this portion of
the means to build the road, in
to the hands Of the present rail-
road owners, in and out of the
State, at about twenty-five cents
on the dollar So that the pres
ient owners Of the road have
paid for them very small per
cent. of original cost, the bal
ance of the cost having been
(and is still being) paid by the
taxes of the people, and by the
original stock subscribers.
3. Present owners of rail-
roads Of the State by getting
control Of the roads in the man
ner they have, have amassed i'm
mense wealth, and in addition
to the immense amounts annu-
ally added to the value of the
railroads. are drawing princely
salaries, and in many instances
dividends of from 20 to 40 per
cent. on their actual outlay.
4. These railroad owners are
now discriminating against the
people whose taxes and subscrip-
tions built the road, and in IA
vor Of foreigners, in their freight
rates, to such an extent as TO
badly cripple the agricultnraland
other interests Of the State.
5. They are charging, and al
ways have charged, rates of
freight out of all proportion to
the actual cost Of the labor per-
formed by them.
8. They are charging, and
always have charged, rates Of
freight greater than their char
.crs allow them, and have thus
violated their charters and rem
1ered them subject to forfeiture.
Z. The railroad property Of /
he State has hitherto been ex-I
from taxation, in viola
lion OF that clause of the cor
'titutiOn which requires that
'all property shall be taxed ac-
;Ording to its value"
s. The officers in charge of
these roads, are, and have been,
exercising a very corrupting in
fiucnce upon the public pless,
md various governmental de-
Dartments Of the State. by
lespicuble system Of deadncad-
SIN. This system is dangerous
n its tendencies, and ought to
De legislated out Of existence.
9. These railroad corporations
nave, heretofore, to some ex-
ent, dictated legislation in Ten
lessee. Their power, at pres
mt rates, will soon be such, that
hey will do for us, Of Tennes-
zee, what they have already
lone for the people of some
'ther States, dictate (through
he ballot-box and their influ-
nee on voters) the judicial pol
cy of the State.
We call upon the people to-
Indicate what changes they de- {
ire to be made, at the ballot
'ox, next November.

Patriotic Document.

| Col. JnO. r House of Clarks-
vile, having been solicited to
become a candidate for Con-
gress from the Nashville dis
! trict, ,makes'a patriotic response,
from which we make the follow
J ing extract, and commend it to
the careful consideration of our
readers:
The public offices of the
country belong to no man, or
set of men--they are created
for the public good, and belong
to the people. The incumbents
of those offices are the agents
of the people, and l recognize
their right to select their own
agents in their own way.
A convention may as well
represent the people as any 9TH
er method that can be resorted
to and has the advantage of
greater convenience over the
modes that have been suggested
to settle conflicting aspirations.
The disastrous campaign Of
1872 admonishes us that we cam
not hope for success with a di-
vision in our ranks and a null
tiplicity Of candidates in the
field. If we desire success let
us have the manhood and pafri-
otism to forget past dissensions,
and thus adopt the only means
by which it can be acLieved.--
United, we are invincibIe--di-
vided among ourselves, we have
been and can again be defeated.
II we do not desire success,
let us stack our arms, and iurl
our banners, surrender uncon-
ditionally to the enemy and
give them our parole of honor
to fight them no more. If it is
a matter of indifference to our
people as to who shall control
oar State Government, Or rep
resent them in the National
councils, they can fold their
arms and permit their strength
10 be frittered away in personal
contests. If the Democratic
or Conservative party has no
higher object in view than 10
suffer itself to lie used as con-
vcnient spring.board from which
political chieltains may throw
themselves into power, it is not
worth preserving, and the soon
er it retires from the scene Of
action the better.
1t has principles to Defend
if it means to make itself a pow
er in shaping the desinits OF tae
it means to confront
and dispute the march Of the
dominant party in It's inloads |
upon the government which our
fathers left ns--it must put on
its whole armor, discipline its
forces, close up its ranks and |
suppress all mutinies.
Let the people come to the
froni-take their own affairs into
their own hands perfect a thor
pugh organiza' ion, and compel O.
brdience to their behests.
Let all candidates who think |
their own personal aspirations of
more importance thar the SUCCESS
Of their party. be given to under
5 and that the people are in ear
nest and do not mean to tolerate
any experiments upon their sue
cess, or 10 have strength divid, d
