Barons of the Past.

IN tho oil b.ronitl times,
When the tcu,ial lords bore sway,
There were high and low, and friend ana zoe,
AS there are in th:s, our day;
There were shrincs and fancs. and swords and
chains, -.
Young maids, and old Aeu grayt
And the barons kept high state,
In their ancient castle halls,
And the wardcrs stou: watched we'll without,
Lest foes should scale the walls;
And down far deep in the donjon-keep,
Were chain'd the barons' thralls.
And whenever these barons bold
Would swell their golden boards,
They summoned their men from hill and glen'
And barred their bright broad-swords;
And the trumpet braycd, and the War-horse
neghed,
And the minstrel swept his chords
And the barons bold rode forth,
And the fray was fierce and lonS,
For with deadly blows they smote their foes,
And storncd their castles strong
They sacked and killed, and their golfers

And seized whatever they would. 5
And none said nay, for the strong bore sway
, And the EVIL ruled the Good,
And these barons bold, waxed great
Till the feeble feared their might;
They lived like kings, and the bard Still

OF their deeds in feast and fight.
But to burn and steal, and to sack and klli'

SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU.

1t appears that the signal service Bureau
is embarking quite heavily in the work OF
constructing telegraph lines. During the
last war $50 miles Of line were built from
Prescott to San Diego, on the Pacific
Coast, and when complete with its branches
this line is to extend into Texas, and will
embrace 1,20O miles. 1t is proposed to
build lines OH all the lakes and on the At
lantic and Pacific Coast, and between mill
tary posts. These lines are to be thrown
open to general business when complete.
Unless this project is arrested by Congress,
it seems probable that we shall soon have
a complete system of Government tele'
graph lines extending in all directions.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

One Of the greatest drawbacks to pros
perity is the restlve, rowing, and unsettled
spirit of the people. Each one lmaSlnes
that there is an Ell Dorado somewhere, or
that some section is More prosperous than
his own, and that he must get to it before
he can accomplish anything. The idea
unsettles him, and if he does not "puu up
and migrate at once. he is forever thinking
about it, and ncglccts to improve his pres
ent home and far,n The delusion has been
wide spread since the war, and much indi-
yidual disaster has been the result. The
curse of Reuben seems to rest upon the
people.
It is a great mistake. Contentment is
the great secret Of life. Old Horace struck
the right key when he said: "Happlncss
depends not upon pltce nor climate, but
upon the state of ones mind.' "Rolling
stones gather no moss," and the expert
mcnt Of selling out and moving, in the hope
of bettering the condition, often ends in
bitter disappointment and irretrievable
loss.
Better stay where you are. If you are
in good community, and your lands have
bottom, drive down your pegs and locate.
Remember that "there's more in the man
than the Hand" as old Jones said, on re-
turning from Texas, after terrible failure,
to the worn out homestead he had sold,
and found it blooming like a garden
Right up the old dwelling, renew the out
buildings, palings, fences, and barns; spend
few dollars in white paint, and give the
premises an air of cheerfulncss. Cultivate
less ground, and make it richer every year.
Make plenty to cat and some to sell, and
let your crop be cl profit. Plant fruit
trees, have your rye, oats, barley, wheat
and clover patches; fine horses, fat COWS,
and rich butter. Give your wives and
daughters flower gar''"ns, and assist them
in collecting o gool assortment Of roots and
cuttings. Do these simple things, and, our
word for it, your houses will take new hold
upon your affections, and, instead Of the
rickety, dilapidated establishments, and
solemn, hungry-looking countenances 30
common in our country, we will find COM
Portable and inviting homes, where all is
love, contentment and happiness. 1t will
be like n Colchinn enchntrcss infusinS new
iuices into the veins for the prolongation
of life and youth Try it. Turn over a
new leaf and begin anew. Fear God and
love your neighbors, your wives, and your
children, and don't try to get rich in one
year.

A CART LOAD OF CASH.

Twenty-Five years age, as the story runs'
Mr. Pendley was living at Sugar Hill, Ga.,
aud was then engaged in gold mining with
Moses Lott. Lott had heard of very rich
silver mine from John Lumpkin. Lump
kin had heard of it from Baptist preach
er, who lived near GAINESVILLE; the preach
er had heard of it from q man who had
died near him, and who on his death-bed
had given the preacher minute descrlp-
ton Of the mine and its surroundings.
Lott told Pendlcy that the stranger on his
doath.bed said that he and other South
Carolinians had come out among the In
dians hunting gold and silver ore; that
they crossed the Oconee at Hurricane
Shoals, proceeded along well-known In
dian trail to the Chattahoochee, went down
the Chattaooochee to the mouth of large
creek, and in hunting a place to cross,
wont nm the creek some distance, where
two of the Carolinians-the stranger be-
inr one-wcre captured by company Of
Standards, were carried ut night some
four or five miles south of the head OF the
creek, and were put to work in silver
mine during each night, and just before
Fdayethey took the silver ore upon their
backs, went due south from the mine five
miles to an island Covered with an i'm
mense swamp growth, and in the middle
of this island, in rude shop they worked
ore and moulded the metal into silver dol
lars; that when the Indians found them
out they filled up tho mine with timber
and dirt, buried rs much as a wagon load
silver dollars in the middle of the shop,
burned down the shop, released the two
South Carolinians, and left; that one Of
the South Carolinians was lost, and that
the dying man was on his way home with
the great secret, which be revealed To the
preacher on his death-bed.
With this account Mr.. Pendley set out
in 1853 to find the mine answering to the
description received. In 1856 he found an
old mine, exactly answering the descrlp-
ton. It ia situated five miles due south
of Suwannee creek, in Gwinnett county,
and the island is on Beaver Ruin creek,
five miles due south of the mine. On the is
land Mr.. P. found cinders, Indian vessels and
implements, and the hole in the ground,
which had been filed up by old Billy
Chamblee, who cleared up the island, and
who testified to having found the hole
open. Mr.. Pendley went to work on the
old mine. and continued until his small
capital was spent, when he suspended.
When again his means enabled him to re-
new his labors, the war came on and forced
him to defer it. In 1871 he resumed work
again alone, followed the old tunnel by
sinking shafts for nearly two hundred
feet, without finding anything except un-
mistakable evidence of the old tunnel,
which was filed with leaves, brush, oak
most and timber. A few weeks ago he
reached the end of the old tunnel, and
found vein of mineral ore one and half
feet thick and fifteen feet wide. Above it
there is layer Of white clay; beneath it
there is hard yellow rock, and on each
side there is wall of very hard, blue sand
stone. The ore consists Of two layers, one
blueish, the other reddish brown; is very
soft-somewhat cohcsive-and very heavy.
