The Devil and the Lawyers.

Old Nick came up to the earth. one day,
ard into Court-house wended his way,
just ss an Attorney, with very grave face
w as proceeding TO argue the points Of case
Now, a lawyer his Devilship never had seen.
kor none 70 his sOoty dominions had been,
and he teit very curious tie reason 20 know
" ny none had been sent TO the region below
Twas the fanlt of his agents, his majesty
thought,
Why none of these sharpers had ever been
caught;
Dc started, resolved all the facts to require.
And It ehanced that he came at an oppor
tune time,
As the work Of the Court was all in his line.
For the lawyer who rose with visaTe so
grave,
Made out his opponents eonsuraate knave;
an4 the Devil was really greatly amused
TO hear the Attorney 50 aptly abused.
As soon as the speaker had coma 70 q eloss.
Tho counsel opposins him Hereely arose,
and heaPed such ahuse en- the head Of thl
first,
And to make him william, Of all men III,
worst.
They. quarreled, contended, and argued Sc
Twas hard to determine who most was IN
wrong:
Old Nick was quite puzzled, they made such
a fuss,
And, turning away. he solilo9uised thus:-
II all they have said of each other be true,
The Devil has surely been robbed OF HE due
But, I'm satisfied now lis all very well;
These fellows would ruin the morals of he'll
They'v puzzled the Court with their villain
Gus cavil,
And Pm free to confess they've muddled the
Devil.
Ny agents were right to let lawyers alone;
III had them they'd swindle me out ,of my
throne"

Holy Sabbath Bells.


The following appears In the current num-
Der of Appleton 5 journal, and is character
lied as upplementary to Poess sBells'-an
attempt to complete the poem which Poe Ieft
Incomplete:
Hear the holy Sabbath bells
Christian bellsl
" hat world Of consolation in their utter
ances dwellsl
They commemorate the day
Then "the stone was rolled away
From the Sspulchre'' where Law
The Lord of Glory-siain Tor sin not dis own
There He burst the bonds Of Death
With Omnipotence's breath,
And maiestically rose
Triumphant DER his foes,
To TIE right hand Of God-Phree in One
Where He maketh intercession
For our manifold transgression,
Evermore
Now the bells are loudly calling, bidding ey-
cry one repair
To the sanctuary, where
We may offer praise and pray er;
Their reverberating echoes, through tho cir
cumamhieut air,
Are rolling, relling, rolling,
They are calliue calling, calling,
il tones g1Al ar8 c0useiiug,
And in tones that are appalling
To believers, consolation;
To the seOrners, condemnation,
ENGitntIEt
Still the bells arc tolling, tolling,
And their eshoing notes are rolling
over vale and plain and mountain,
Calling all men to the fountain
Whence life ard joy and peace are flowing
evermOre;
EvermOIel
Now their tones grow louder, deeper,
They might wake the dullest sleeper
On this peaceful Sabbath morning
With their words of solemn warning
"Time! timel tim
Timel timel timen
Their ponderous tongues reiterate, monoto-
ntusly,
"Timel
Time! timel time!
Time! timel timei"
Till the ending of the hour ends the chime,
Thus each swinging Titan knells,
As his music pesls and sWells
From the tower wherein he dwells,
His final monosyllable of "Time."
Whose cadenees fan tastieally rhyme
To the rolling and the tolling of the bellsl

that period, not quite two years,
the actual receipts were $3,61S,
703.52, or annually tire sum of
S1,8o9, ,356.76. This com pared with
Comptroller Gaines estimate shows
that there is an annual decrease in
receipts of $607,654. Why this de
ficiency? why this enormous deficit?
The rate of taxation remained the
same and the value of taxable prop
erty varied but little; not enough
to make a difference sufficient to
cover the 100000 received from
the dog tax.
Compare also with Comptroller
Pennebaker's report to the General
Assembly in 1873 which embraced
a period of fifteen months, from
Oct. 1, 1871, to Jan'y l, 1873. The
total receipts during that period
were - 4ae. .e9f.I7, or at the rate OF
81, 936,0e8 per annum. Difference
between the actual receipts under
Pennehaker and the estimates of
Col. Gaines $734,366 per annum,
the rate of taxation being the same
and the taxable property the same
during both periods. Why this de
felt of 1874, 1866 per annum?
We shall hereafter examine the
several items of the exhibit of the
American and attempt to show
why this discrepancy arises; and this
is not done in the way of fault-fnd-
ing or criticism but for the purpose
of eliciting statement that the peo-
pie may know and see is reliable.
What they desire is informant on.
1t certainly cannot be that an
annual tax of 40 cents upon 275
millions of property, supplemented
by privilege tax and receipts from
clerks, Banks, Insurance companies,
Railroads and the dog tax will only
realize $1,201, ,7O2 per annum to the
State.
Let us have the facts and have
them, now, and mature the plans Of
the honest men of the State upon
this finance question before the
meeting of our Convention in Au.-
gust. w.

Mr.. ". W.Clarke, recently a resi-
dent Of Giles county, but now of
Florence, Ala, was in town last
Thursday. He was a member of
the 32nd Tennessee (Confederate) }
Infantry Regiment, and was desper-
ately wounded at the battle Of Stone
Face Mountain near Dalton, Ga, in
May, 1864. The wounds received
were from the explosion of a bomb
shell, three shot passing through his
right arm and shoulder, causing
severe wound, one striking the left
side of the head breaking to the
hollow and a piece of shell passing
through bis face, breaking the un-
der jaw on each side, breaking out
all the upper jaw teeth, and all the
lower jaw teeth except one; cutting
out the palate Of the mouth and
cutting the tongue almost in two to
the base, cutting of the left side, and
breaking half the cheek bone out.
He also received other wounds
His jaw and tongue hung upon his
breast for two months, until the
fractured Zones worked out when
they were replaced and kept u their
proper position by a splint gum
elastic bandage, etc supported by a
cap worn on bis head. This APP
paratus was worn four months,
when a gristle, sufficiently strong to
hold the Jaw in q proper position,
had formed it was two weeks, az
ter being wounded. before he could
swallow, and four months before he
could sit up 20 eat, to eat he had to
lie down and swallow as be drew
breath. He could not use his jaw
for thirteen months; subsistine on
soups, etc. His cure was q remark
table one.-LagyenesJNrg I'ress.

Coming (at least indirectly from
an official source, it would be pre-
sumed that these figures would
prove in the main reliable and trust
worthy. Upon examining them
more critically and especially in the
light of our past financial history,
there appears such a wide difference
and material variation from former
estimates that we are not able to
accept them as conclusive or even
reliable, and in saying this we have
no intention of impugning the mo-
tives or honesty of our present
Comptroller.
So far as my observation extends
Col. Gaines has been conscientious
and laborious in the discharge OF
b,s important trust. One far more
important, complicated and labori
ous than the people of the State
have ever imagined; trust requir
| inc more labor and less reward
more ability and less reeompens'
| than any other in the State.
Can the estimates he correct an'
reliable to such an extent as to jus
| tifv us in basing our action upol
them?
According to this statement on
annual receipts amount to 81, POI
| 7O2, and this includes thes.amoun
of 100000 which previous to thi
time has never been a source @
revenue to the State.
Let us compare this result Wit
the actual receipts into the Treas

but, I do not mean to say that it is
not interesting. But by this we
will get news from all the different
parts of the county. 1 passed your
Office a few weeks ago and handed
you one dollar, and requested you

that times are hard here, for 1 do
not think so, unless it is in money
matters. For our cribs are full of
corn, our wheat grainaries are not
empty, our smokehouses have plen-
ty of meat in them. our chicken
roosts have plenty of chickens on
them, and our pastures contain
cows which give US plenty of milk
and butter, and as for money mat
ters, we can take ten dollars and buy
more clothing now, than We could
with fifteen dollars three years ago,
and why say that times are hard
This neighborhood, (which lies
along the vallies of Bradshaw creek }
is beautiful cline. We have two
dry good stores, one family grocery
and dry good store combined. One
good school in session now, taught
by Prof. J. c. Roller, who is an ell
ligible man for that business, and
well thought of by his many friends
We have two splendid doctors, but
not much use for them now, as
there is no sickness IN our neigh
borhood. We have preaching a
Mount Pleasant Church every Sun
day, lst by Rev. Pagan; End, BY
Joseph Moore; 3rd G. Harwell anC

splendid Sunday School every Sun
day, and as good singing as can b

shall say nothing about them, un
less 1 should just say, that they ar
all candidates, some for Esq, som
for constable, but the most of ther
, for matrimony, and I think some c
them will be elected. especially thos
for the matrimonial office. Ther
have been no marriages in this V
