A DOUBT.

II ! could find rose without thorn,
fragrant blossom with no bitter taste,
day OF sunshine with no spot OF cloud,
world without dreary desert waste,
Or one bright hope unshadowed and serene,
One perfect trust with every fear cast out,
My heart could rest upon the promise sweet,
Layin aside the eyer-present doubt.
The shadow dim that falls upon the riBg.
When welded palms are clasped In fond embrace
The specter at the banquet, and the guest
That silently usurps the highest place;
The presence all uDseen yet ever near
The minor note TO every joyous strain;
The echoing thrill that answers rapture sweet
With something very near akin to pain.
II dims the luster OF the conqueror's sword,
And falls upon the radiance OF the cross;
No alchemy can purify the gold
Beyond the clinging Of its ashen dross;
II falleth like mildew on the page
Where weary fingers toll for empty fame,
And on the shining scutcheon OF the great,
Beside the greatest there II writes its name.

the centennial anniversary of the bat

The following poem was written FOL
this centennial celebration by John G
Whittier, the Quaker poet:
LEXINGTON-l775.
No mGddening thirst for blood had they,
No battle-joy was theirs who set
Against the alien bsyouet
Their homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feet had troddcn peaceful ways,
They loved not strife, the dreaded pain
They saw not what to us is plain,
That God would make mans wrath His
praise.
No seers were they, but simple men
Its vast results the future hid
The meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then.
Swift as the summons came they left
The pillow, mid-furrow, standing still,
The background corn>grist in the mill,
The spade in EARTH the axe in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call,
They scarcely asked the reason why:
They only knew they could but die,
And death WAS not the worst of all.
OF man for man the sacrifice,
Unstained by blood, save theirs, they gave
The flowers that blossomed from thei
grave
Have sown themselves beneath all skies,
Their death shot shook the feudal tower,
And shattered slavery's chain as well
On the sky's dome, as on bell,
Its echo struck the worlds great hour.
That fateful echo is not dumb:
The nations, listening to its sound,
Wait, from century vantage-ground,l
The holier triumphs yet to come
The bridal time of Law and Love,
The gladness of the worlds release,
When, war sick at the feet of Peace
The hawk shall nestle with the dove,--
The golden age of brotherhood,
Unknown to other rivalries
Than of tho mild humanities,
And gracious interchange of good.
When closer strand shall lean to strand,
Till meet, beneath saluting flags,
The eagle of our mountain crags,
The lion Of our Motherland.

Bro. II. Whitfield, County Deputy
for Montgomery county, made visit
to our office on Thursday. He meets
with the very common discourage
ment in his work that Good Templars
encounter everywhere in our State
an indifference on the part of preach
ers and leading church members to the
cause of temperance.
The above paragraph we clip from
The Southern Household, the Good
Templars' organ. We head it I" Is it
True?" and are sorry to say that there
is too much truth in it. The mem
bers of the churches in this city, we
are compelled to say are not taking the
interest in the great Temperance cause
they should. But comparatively few
are connected with any of the Tenn
perance organizations in the city, for
getting that united effort alone is the
sure means of the success OF the cause.
1t is true, they will tell you they are
temperance men and wish the cause
success, but they are not going to work
in the right way Christians, arouse
yourselves on the subject, unite your
selves with the workers in the Temper
ance cause, and let it no longer be said
by them that their efforts are met with
indifference on the part of preachers
and members of the church.

Speaker Blaine's Review of the Cen
tury.


In response to toast at the Concord
Centennial dinner, Speaker Blaine
made happy speech, in which he
compared the revolutionary period and
ours as follows:
"Why, gentlemen, we were three
millions of people then. The House
of Representatives to-day has more
than two-thirds of its members taken
from beyond the country where the
trodden, except those of adventures.
More than two-thirds of the entire
House of Representative comes from
land then undreamed of for settle
ment. The day that gun was fired
across the bridge there did not exist on
the American Continent SO, 900 settlers.
1t was a narrow rim of people, stretch
ing from Maine to Louisiana, and the
people had not penetrated the CONT
nent at all. All this has flowed, as
surely as consequence follows cause,
from the blow that was struck that
day in the small fight at Concord
Bridge. All that remains to us, all
that can remain to us, is to see that a
hundred years hence we may be re-
membered as honorable as those whose
deeds we this day celebrate. 1t might
possibly have been matter of doubt
with me, but for the late terrible expe-
rience of this country, whether we
had this same heroic people that they
had; but, happily, out of the great
grievance and the great misery and
suffering of our own time, we know
that their descendants have not grown
less strong in arm or less dauntless in
heart than those who fought for us
then. [Applause. 1t remains for us
then to transmit to those who come af-
ter us record in the line of civil du-
ty, in the line of preserving that for
which that generation and our own
have both fought, that was bequeathed
to our descendants to the remotest
generations-the blessings which
nothing but public fidelity and per-
sonal courage can secure to any peo-
pie. Applause.

The Tories called the resolution for
committees Of correspondence the
source of the rebellion but iV was
only "a correspondence of town meet
ings. From that correspondence Of
town meetings. From that cores
pondence came the confederation of
the colonies. Out OF that arose the
closer majestic union of the Constitu-
ton, the greater phenix born fium the
ashes of the lesser, and the national
power and prosperity to-day rest Sc
curely only upon the foundation Of the
primary meeting. That is where the
duty of the citizen begins Neglect OF
thai Is disloyalty to liberty. No con-
trivance will supply its place, no ex-
cuse absc,ve the neglect; aud the
American who Is guilty Of that neglect
is as deadly an enemy Of his country
as the British soldier century ago.

day. He was not eloquent like Otis,
nor scholarly like Quincy, nor all fas-
cinating like Warren, yet bound heart
to heart with these great men, his
friends, the plainest, simplest ,austerest
among them, he gathered all their
separate gifts, and adding to them his
own, fused the whole in the glow Of
that untiring energy, that unerriug
perception, that sublime will, which
moved before the chosen people Of the
colonies pillar of cloud by day, fire
by night. People Of Massachusetts,,

his immortal friend Hancock hun.
dred years ago this morning, a sou of
Massachusetts who bears the name of

liberty, will pay fitting tribute to the
true American tribune of the people

was fondly called. But we also are
his children, and must not omit our
duty.

THE CHEYENNE REVOLT.
Eight Reds and One Squaw Killed
the Late Fight.

Eight Reds and One Squaw Killed In
the Late Fight.
From the Leavenworth Times, April IS.
The particulars received in this city
in regard to the fight between the
Cheyennes and the United States
troops, on the 9Th inst, have been very
meagre, and little is known, outside of
the military at Fort Leavenworth.
the battle was fought about one hun
dred and twenty-five miles from Camp
Supply, the Indian force numbering
some two hundred aud twenty-five.
They also had two hundred and seven
ty-tive squaws with them. The result
in killed on the side of the reds was
eight warriors and one squaw. This
was the result of the first collision.
After this day or 80, when the troops
came upon them at the Sand Hills, a
second battle was fought, the result of
which has not yet been ascertained.
Twenty-Five prisoners were taken,
who are now on their way to Fort
Leavenworth, where they will be con-
fined under guard.
Another fact has also come to light
in regard to the arms of the Indians
at the sand Hills. During the Indian
war last summer and fall it was WELL
known by the officers and troops who
were fighting the Indians, that they
were armed with the best long-range
rifles and needle-guns, and when they
surrendered they turned over to the
troops old muskets, broken revolvers
and the like, and through the stupid
ty of the officers in command, not n
question was asked as to where these
rifles and needle-guns had gone to,
and it was taken for granted that the
poor, ignorant Indians had given up
all the arms they possessed. When
the outbreak occurred last week, al
those who escaped made directly for
one point in the Sand Hills, where
they had buried all their best arms be-
fore surrendering, and the troops not
knowing the fact, rushed into the face
of murderous fire, which staggered
them and drove them back. The
officers who had the Indians in charge
are condemned in the severest terms
for not trying to ferret out the where
abouts of the guns that they were
known to have carried during the
campaign.

Lodge in Knoxville, he consented t.
make few remarks on that subject
which IL, aud should be, 50 near their

somewhat, We presume, on account OF
the slimness of the attendance.
The gentleman first spoke of the in

drinking of ardent spirits.
