form 9 school girl who wrote that
sweet little poem entitled beautiful
onoWv Yours,
MAUD.
We once took q great oath that the
terrible secret should never be drag
gcd from us-that we would 90 down
to the grave with it forever locked in
our breast. But the sands Of life are
swiftly running out, and we have
changed our mind. We did it, dear
girl; we can't tell lie. We did it
with our little pencil; but we promise
never to do SO again. The load is
lifted, and not tumultuous sea breaks
in on the serenity of our unbnrdened,
peaceful mind. Now let life fade.

The Avalanche was greatly missed
up here Monday and Tuesday even
ings. we know it is not issued Oh
Sundays, which, accounts for its non.ar-
rivalon Tuesdays; but thing Of running
in two days OH Us wont do. All
hands over there observed Christmas,
we suppose. which was the reason
we received no Avalanche on Monday
last; and as tomorrow will be New
Years We need not look for it next
Monday. Editors and printers must
have a breathing spell occasionally,
singular as it may appear to the pub
lie.

ing at the close Of the war came from
those who had heard the whirr of but few
bullets and the explosion of few
shells. In the North the hOrdes
who were growing rich of the misfortune
of war, backed by second and third rate
politicians, who had obtained first places
by the accidents of the times, cried out in
the abused name Of patriotism, for cOnfis-
cation and blood, while army followers left
to prey on the South like vampires sucking
its life blood, assisted by the blatant IN
conquered from among the bomb proofs,

wore clerical robes, all combined to roll the
hopeful period Of 90 and '66 back into the
night of 20. Now, again light streaks the
horizon. 4 little more Of such patient en-
dUrance as the soldier Gordon cOunselled
to dOwntrOdden Louisiana, a little
more of the prompt and sOldierly energy
with which John &. Brown followed up
the Trenton murderers, a few more South
ern tours upon the part Of Congressional
statesmen and committees, and speeches
from other soldiers such as Bartlett, and
the heroic death Of these men, our COM
rades shall be seen to bear rich fruit in a
national life more glorious than the old
past. The day dawns when the names Of
those truly good and great on either side
will be urned in the nations history as a
common heritage Of fame. DR.. Kelley
closed with thanks 10 the ladies for their
efforts in purchasing the grounds, collect
ing and eEtOmbing the dead, and their
yearly memorial service Of flowers, and
indicated a hope that their efforts would
hencefOrward take the direction Of a per-
manent monument 10 be erected in this
beautiful spot.
AFTER THE ADDRESS.
"BeyOnd the Sunset was then sung by
the audience, after which prayer was Of
fered by Rev. 7. A. HOyt. After the sing
ing Of "Sweet By and By another dirge
was given by the baud, aud the assemblage
was dismissed with a benedictiOn by Rev.
NJ. B Dewitt. This having Concluded
the exercises Of the day, the sixteenth in
fantry band marched to the mound Of Con-
federate graves and played severa! selec-
tions of such mouruful melody that every
body was made to believe the BOYS in blue
had long ago forgotten the antagOnism once
existing between themselves and those who
wore the gray. The mOundsunder which
repose the gallant dead was s.rewn with
hundreds Of bouquets. The visitors now
passed away the time in walking over the
beautiful grounds till the shadows Of even
ing began 10 fall, when they commenced
dispensing for their homes.

A FrightruI Runway.

Yesterday evening as =. j. Jackson was
driving along tee Lebanon pike in a ba-
rouche, accompanied 10y several ladies, re-
turning from Mount Olivet Cemetery, one
of the reius gave away and the horse at
tached to the vehicle ran off he left the
road and started across the commons in the
direction Of a deep raviHe. The driver had
no means of checking his course
and a terrible fate seemed to be
in waiting for all in the barouche.
A number OF spectators were Mortified to
witness the flight Of the frightened animal,
but were unable to offer any assistance To-
wards putting a stop TO bis mad career.
Wien within q short distsn sc Cf p'ecipice
about thirty feet high, the vehicle was
turned Oves. and the horse was thus pre-
vented from going headlong into The ravlne.
The barouche was very badly damaged, but
strange TO say, the occupants escaped with
ou5 serious injury, except one Of the ladies,
who had her arm somewhat bruised.

The Mill Creek and Nubbn Ridge
Oranges held their regular May meeting
aud barbecue yesterday in Mr.. Nat Browns
beautiful grove overlooking Mill Creek val
lev. These large and tI0urishing Oranges
were Joined by representatives, from six
other Oranges. DR.. John II. CuTIey. Sec
rotary Of the State Grange, is also Master Of
Mill Creek Valley Grange, which has over
100 members. He has fine farm in the
neiElbGrhOCd and he, Nj. Brown, DR..
Hill. Col. Thomas ". Claiborne, and
others deserve great credit for their labor
and skill in maintaining one Of the best or
ganized and efficient Oranges in the SAFE.
Col. Claiborne delivered d well consider
ed written address, and was followed by
DR.. Lee. of the Agricultural Department OF
the UNION AND AMERICAN, VINO spoke eX-
temporaneOusly. Both speeches were lis
tened to attentively by a large and iutelli-
gent audience.
The barbecue which followed was mag
niticsnt, tie tables extending almost in
definitely on a soft carpet Of blue grass
under noble shade trees, grOaninE under a
load of viaHds, with strawberries by the
bushel, furnished by DR.. Hill, the Straw
berry King, and such as Miss Fanny
Brown, hostess Of the picnic, and the Cul-
tured ladies of the neighbour cd know so
well how to prepare. All appeared to en-
iOv in succession healthy food for the mind
and for the body; and such social reunions,
open to all reputable persons Of both sexes,
without regard to membership of the Pat
rOns Of HUsbandry, have a happy influence
on society in general. It is but simple jus.
tice to say that Tennessee Oranges, under
the direction and inspiration Of such gen
tlemen as DR.. Maxwell, and DIR. Cuuey,
the President and Secretary Of the State
Grange, are alike distinguished for theiI
liberaljty, intelligence and success.
Our reporter was indebted TO Mr.. Brown
for a view through his large flower, fruit
and vegetable grounds, so CTed.table 10 his
horticultural taste and skill.

Non.Retting Tnrfmen.

During the twenty years that Lord Fal-
mouth has been connected with racing, on
one only occasion has he been tempted 70
make a bet. When ON visit to Whitehall
10 see his FLY, Queen Bertha, he asked Mrs.
Scott, wife Of the trainer, what would win
the Oaks. She replied, "Queen Bertha,
my lord" Lord Falmouth bet her six
pence that this would not be so. His
iordship had the best OF the betting, but he
lost his wager, as the filly won. On the
day after the race he obtained from the
mint a bran new siXpence, which he had
set in rabies and diamonds and presented
to Mrs, Scott.
The above paragraph has been published
extensively. Gen. W. G. Harding, Of Ten
nessee, one Of the Oldest aud trgest deVOtees
Of the turf in this country, has never bet
cent on a horse race in his life,
