You may boast that it lasted a week,
Pah, its memory, buried s. long,
Of corruption already must speak.
Alas. it's pity; your SORROW
Those soft eyes have re 1dened with pain.
You may weep, child, to day, for Tomorrow
New love will bring laughter again.

Go whittier? All, ycp may foreboie,
But never more, child, tSis know,
With your smile will you tighten my Lad.
In the lanes which the lid Blossoms bless,
A swscter wild rose will ee,k;
Whittier fingers than thine may caress,
And breathe On a better loved cheek.
And, Tomorrow, all finished and done,
Ii my youth is as fresh end as gay,
I will open my heart for the sun
Toheal up the wounds Ofto-day.

stripped bare.

THE NAuSE OEIr

The Lynchburg PRESS, Radical,
sings the following song of sorrow
since the election. 1t is TO be re-
GREETED srch fine reasoning comes
too late. ED. News.
The one great cause, however, ofthe
reckoning to which we have as a party
just been subjected, consists i'm the inn
meHse number of imjudiciOus and
unfit men who have been honored 10y
the Q neral Government with the
offices of the country. We have for q
long time been apprehensive that dis
aster was impcnding from this very
cause, and are oaly surprised that the
party has 50 long contriveti To avert It,
The time was when a citizeh was hon
orei hy his fellows because of his pOf-
sessing q Federal Office, now, neither
man or Office is hOnOred, for i'm the
one instance the appOintee in many
cases, is pOwerless tn cnnf.r respecta
hility upon anything, ami the office to
which he happens TO hold. falls into
the slough of disrepute from which he
vainly strives To rise. This state of
things is not confined to any one Sec
tinn of the country, it exists i'm both
North and South. The Simmons aud
Rahsuns uf Massachusetts have their
counterpHrts in VIrgixia, in large num-
hers, Of both native and imported
specimens. With the appointments in
.,uF own State We are of course more
familiar than those of other States,
and n familiarity with them is enough
in many instances to thoroughly sirken
aud disgust any !nan who eSchews office
and esiIouses the cause of Republican,
ism ruf the snke of the principles ems
brared in it its teneTs. We need not
go n thousand miles fro where we
write to find perhaps more than one
government official. whose nepotism
j. unuuestioned, and who would rem
der the offices held subsidiary not only
10 the acknowledgement of themselves
and family. but find the minor posi-
rinns in their gift, after the family is
supnlird, being bestowed on men red
hot from the RANKS Of the secession
party, given them within too many
instances, the faliaCi0us idea of ub-
tanning for their hestower social po-
-itinn in Conservative society. As we
have already said, this condition of
things is confined To no special locality,
it permeates large portion of the
Country, certainly of the South. AT d rs
logical sequence we have the results
of Tuesdays work.

ATLANTA. GA. Nov. Ex-senator
Gordon concluded his speech at the
great jul lice here last night by an APP
peal for continued prudence and for
bearance, which. he said, were the
Christianity of all politics. He said :;
"Ohe boon / ask ian the hour of your
deIiverance / ask you to commission
ME i'm your name to pledge upon the
floor of the Senate your fidelity to the
Union under the Constitution your
acuuiescence in the laws passed in ac-

restoring peace Ia the sections, justice
to the States, liberty to citizens. puri-
ty to all departments of the Govern
ment, and the Constitution to its su-
premacy over Pres dents, Congress,
and parties, and the people. Loud

HON. JUHN w. HEAD.
lie Dies Suddenly of PneumO-
mia. One week After HIS
Election to Congress.
The Nashville Bar Hold Il Meet
ing and Pay u Tribute to
HIS Memory.

The community was shocked yes
terday TO hear 0f what they least e8-
pected was likely to occur, the death
Of the Hon. John w. Head, Congress
man elect from the Fourth District.
He had been attacked with pneumonia,
a disease with which lie had come
near dying previous tn this canvass.
1t is thought thai, though having no
opposition, he had caught cold in
..peakiug through the various counties
in his district, which, growing worse,
eliminated n pneumonia, and finally
in his death.
Col. Head, the title by which he is
more commonly known. was born
near Castiilian Springs, Sumner
County, fifty-thr or fifIy-fOur years
ago. He came of d family that had
been among the pioneers Of that
G Iunty. He was educated in Sumner,
ami by dint of faithful industry and
perseverance, raised himself to PROM
inence, both at the bar and in the
legislative councils. He was elected
To the State Senate i'm 1855, and in 1858
Attorney General and Reporter, and
was consequently the autl or of the
three volumes known as Heads Re-
ports. He held that position until the
war broke out. when he was elected
Colonel ot the 80 Tennessee (Confeder-
atel regiment, and fought gallantly at
battle of Fort Dunelson.
After the war, Colonel Head re-
sumed the practice of law, and was
apo nted 10y the Governor, two years
ago, as special Judge upon the Court
of Arbitration, filling that position
with marked ability, and was last

Bricks from Babylon.

T From n communication to the
Cleveland Herald ny Col. w. r. Fogg.
Upon the brick brought 10y the wri-
ter from Babylon is the standard il =
srriptfon nf fNohuchadncZzar. 1t gives
his name and titles, describes the won
ders of the city. and invOkes the
gods to grant duration to the temples
and other great etifices which lie had
built. The inscriptions on the Baby
lonian bricks arr uniformly incl Ised
i'm a small square. and are formed with
considerable care and nicely. They
appear to have been impressed with a
stamp. upnn which the entire inscrip-
tinn, not isolated letters, was cut in re-
lief. This art. so nearly approaching
the modern invention of printing. IS
proved 10 have been known to the
Egyptians and Chinese at a very re-
mote period. The PharoaliS stamped
their names on bricks, thestamps tisPd
being Of wood. and several are pre-
served in European collections. But
ALI the Impressions on Egyptian bricks
unlike those of Assyria, are in relief.
The BabyIonian bricks are of uni
form size, about fifteen inches square
bv three inches thick. They are made
of very tenacious ciay mixed WIN
chopped straw. and burnt hard in a
kiln. They were always laid face
down ward in cement of hitu:nen so
hard as to make it almost impossible
to remove one entire.
The brick from Nineveh is also rec
tanguIar. but somewhat thicker than
the Bahyioniar. The Inscriptions on
these Assyrian bricks appear to have
been made In single cuneifnrm letters,
and sometimes the workmen may
have been careless in stamping them.
On this specimen the parallel columns
are somewhat irregular, but the inn
pressiuns are quite distinct. am un-
able tn give literal translation of the
inscription. but presume 1t is OF the
same general character as on the one
from BahyIon. giving ,he name and
title of the monarch reignihg at Min
eveh, perhaps, three thousand years
ago.

Our exchanges say that while
Capt. Drew, OF the Jalncs River
line of Steamers, was asleep in his
chair a few days ago, some one
stole a fine set of artificial teeth ont
of his mouth. This sounds rather
unreasonable, bu: we can beat it,
for while the radicals were asleep

A STORM BREWING

The President has reached the
first genuine trial which has bese'
his pathway. The overthrow Of
the republican ! srty in twenty
eight of the thirty-scven stateF, is
a result both unexpected and un-
parallelcd. When lie met Sidney
J2hnson at Shiloh, and Pcmbcrton
at Vicksburg, and Lee at the Will
derncss, he held unlimited means
of final success at his command
When he met last year the curren-
cy question, he had only 20 favor
contraction, and the moncye1 pow
er of all America WAS at his hack
But now 81 terrible disaster has be-
fallen lis very army, and a victim
must he found, just as one was
found fer Manassas, and one for the
seven days disaster at Richmond,
and for Fredericksburg. The par
ty with one voice accuses tie Pres
ident for his f. tai thirst for. a third
term, and lie in turn accuses the
party for its attempt to pass the
Civil Rights Bill. His party
lieutcnants say he must disavow all
purpose to seek or accept third
nomination. and he very cody
smokes the cigar of silence in re-
ply. 1t has been but a few
months since he tcld them the par~
ty must unload, ard we believe the
party is now pretty well unloaded,
or at least it is booked for a heavy
catharsis about the 4th of next
March.
A new issue has arisen over the
ubiquitous Moshy. A few days
ago, Miss Amelia jackson was dis
charged from the Bureau Of Print
ing, because she was daughter Of
j. w. Jackson who killed Col.
Ellsworth. Mosby called to recii-
fy the wrong, and by stroke OF
the pen the President reinstated
her. Now the demand of the ST.
lent hero of the cigar, is that he
shall unload Mosby, but Grant as
cody declines. The inference
seems that he would rather be di-
vorced from his party than from
Mosby. No one can tell what this
unpleasantness will lead to, but
one thing is. certain. Grant does
not mean to quit the White House,
until he is forced to. The third
term is not yet setteled negatively.

A Curious Contest.

Early on Sunday morning gentle
man walked out, probably for the pur-
pose of sailing his sheep. After q few
vigorous calls, the flock collected him
and clamored RS usual for their allow
ance. One old black ram, however,
seemed to have something on his
mind, and stood aloof. The owner,
serkIng to conciliate him, approached
and laid his hand upon his head. -
TINS the ram resented with q furious
Charge, which Was repeated Unit! the
owner took to flight. But he was too
far from the fence and the enemy lit
orally hung upon his rear with per; e.
vering obstiDacy. A change of front
Was resolved upon, and Immediately
effected; but still the battery was
played with uudIminishe fervor.
Soon the parties clinched, and after
vigorous scufiie they came to the
ground. The ram could now do moth
ing; but his fleece protected his ribs
from the furious blows of the adver-
sary. Both seemed now pretty nearly
exhausted. The man was OH the top,
and seiZing stone which lay near,
commenced pounding the head of Il e
sheep. OF course the rock was soon
reduced to fragments. But the man
having formerly driven hogs, thought
of the e2pediment of throwing dust
into the eyes OF the recusant ram, and
incontinently filled his optics with
clay rubbing it in. He then rose 10
enjoy the success OF ruse; but the ram
''riz" too, paused a single moment, APP
piled knee 10 either eye and renewed
the combat. And now the fight WAS
more desperate that before, and the
victory seemed to perch above the
sheep. but as he put all his power in
to one final blow, his almost fainting
antagonist succeeded in avoiding the
shock and catchihg the ram by the
tail, and now the Tide Of victory turn
ed. A succession of furious kicks ad-
ministered a posteriori decided the
cnutest. The ram cried foul play, but
the adversary fought for coIqn' s. At
length the "taii-hold Slipped" aud
