MY WIFE AND CHILD,
BY GENERAL HENRY R. JACKSON.


The tattoo beats; the lights are gone;
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night with solemn pace moves on;
The shadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep any weary eyes hath flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
1 think of thee, oh dearest one!
Whose love mine early life hath blessed
OF thee and him-my babyson-
Who slunlbers on thy gentle breast;
God Of the tender frail ana lone,
Oh guard the tender sleeper's rest!
And hover, gently hover near
10 her, whose watchful eye is wet
To mother, wife, the dOubly dear
In whose young heart'have freshly mat
Two streams OF love so deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now as she kneels before Thy throne,
Oh teach her, Ruler OF the skies,
That, while by Thy behesJ eAone
Earth's mig gltiest powersfall or rise,
No tear is Wept TO Thee unknown,
No hair Is lost, no sparrow dies.
That Thou canst stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe it's Dain;
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost, the soldiers slain; T.
That from the distant sea or land
Thou brlng'st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-WeJ cheek Is press'd,
May happier visions beam upon
The ighteniug currents Of her breast
No frownlng Look nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath Of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may throw,
Lov'd with q passion almost Wild S.
BY day. by night--in JOY or woe
BY fear oppressed OF hopes beguiled-
From every danger, every foe,
oh God, protect my wife and child.

GREENvILLE AUGUSTA, June -.
AS advertised the dedication of the Ma
sonic Temple here came off on the 25th of
May, Hon. A. B. COCHRAN made an able,
interesting and eloquent address in the M /.
L. Church, where quite a crowd of specta-
tors had assembled eager to see and to hear
what was going on.
Greenville Is rapidly looking up; for sew

now we have two frst-class country stores
where there is constantly kept every arti-
Gle necessary for family purpose, and since
the LIST of June there have been two con-
dictionaries, groceries and general variety
stores opened. Besides these marks of en-
terprise and improvement there are three
resident physicians, one local minister,
four dress makers, one first class millinery
establishment, one regular Hotel, two shoe
and boot manufacturing establishments,
one saddle and harness making shop, two
good tanneries, four blacksmith shops and
a fine prospect for graded school, there
are now more than sixty scholars sub
scribed, all within the limits of the village;
besides the ABOVE There is d cabinet ma

cheap as any in the country can be had,

about to leave out the grist and sawmill
and the merchant tailoring establishment.
When the first house was built in Green
vile, is beyond the recollection of the old
est inhabitant, and as she has now reached
her limit. suppose the building of the last
house will soon pass from the recollection
of a great many of us-but there is faint
hope that the v r. r. will be completed
to here soon and Greenville will then grow
so rapidly that it will be necessary to have
town officers and councilmen to keep her
in due bounds. There are now only about
two hundred and fifty inhabitants, about
two-t thirds white and the remainder ne
groes. Since have mentioned the negroes

Rev. A. H. Hamilton, pastor of Mt.

day Of enjoyment for the Catholic popula.
ton Of our city. At an early hour the
Baldwin Aug usta Fair Grounds were
covered with the aged and young, Cathol-
les and Professionals. Everything calcu-
lated to drive dull care away was present:
the hobby-horses for the children, in which
fun the older people participated; the
electrical battery, lung-tester, power litter,
baseball, and, best of all, the merry dance
in which nearly all engaged during the
day.
The first game of baseball was between
by Father Fitzsimmons, and the Augusta
Base Ball Club, in which the Augusta B.
B. Club nine, in the first innings, stood
8 to 2, when the game was given up by the
r. q R. Club, from an objection to a de
eision of the umpire.
The second game between the A. B. 4
Club and a Scrub nine, picked up from
TIE crowd, resulted in favor of the Scrub
nine, the others giving up the game when
it stood 3 to
This was followed by race between q
horse and a mule on the broken up track
the horse ridden by Father Fitz Simmons
and the mule by Robt Knightly. Father
Fitz-Simmons showed himself an expert
horseman, and won by handsome dis
lance.
There were refreshments of all descrip-
tions on the. grounds, which were well pat
ronized, and the receipts, including the
gate fees, being $3.50.
The dance went on to the fine music of
Prof. Countz's string band until late
honr in the evening, when the crowd,
which was most orderly, dispersed, amid
the general conclusion that a day had been
most happily spent.
