A DoUBTER. There was a man who
lived in Cass county, Georgia, many
years ago, who had once been in the
State legislature, and never neglected
an opportunity TO emphasize the fact.
He was a perfect infdel as to new dis
coyorios and new sciences, being well
satisfied that if the world should turn
over the water would spill out Of his
well, and only giving into steam cars by
slow degree. But all the walls of his
contempt were poured upon the idea Of
a telegraph, and he was wont TO say
that nobody need try 10 come ''the
green" over him in that way, for he had
been in the Legislature.
Finally the State road was built, and
one day worlymen began to put up the
telegraph posts right in front OF the
house, and to stretch wire. His exul-
tant neighbors thought they had him on
that occasion, and said
"Weli, old fellow, what do you think
Of telegraph now 7"
He was cornered, but died game.
Drawing himself up an inch taller, he

CONCORD.

BY the rude bridge that arched the food,
Their flag to April's bresae nnfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept
Alike the conqner0r silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seward creeps
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We SET To-day a votiye stoae,
That m emory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sres, our sous are gone.
Spirit that made those heroes dare
To die, or leave their children free.
Bid Time and Nature gently spare,
The shaft We raise 70 them aud thee
