THE GOLDEN SIDE.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There is many rose in the road of life,
If we would but stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make 1t.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will still peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There never was night without day,
Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, so the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
It may be the love Of little child
Or q mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup Of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filing;
And do Gods work with a ready heart,
And hands that are prompt and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.

A Word ABOUT MARR1AaE.-A physi.
clan writes the following sensible advice: My
profession has thrown me among women Of
all classes, and my experience teaches me
that God never gave man greater proof of
his love than to place woman here with him.
My advice is: Go and propose to the most
sensible girl you know. If she says yes, tell her
how much your income is, from what source
derived, and tell her you will divide the last
shilling with her, and love her with all your
heart in the bargain. And then keep your
promise. My word for it she will live within
your income, and to your last hour you will
regret that you didn't marry sooner. Gen.
tlemen, don't worry about feminine extrava-
ganee and feminine untruths--Just you be
true to her, love her sincerely, and show it to
her frequently, and more fond, faithful,
foolish slave you will never meet anywhere,
You won't deserve her, know, but she will
never know it. Now throw aside pride and
selfshness, and see what will come Of it.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1876-06-01

fight nor fight. He had more than twice as
many men as Tarleton, and Tarleton's light
infantry were so far behind and 80 much ex-
hausted by forced marches, that they could
not have reinforced him until Buford could
have reached Charlotte, North Carolina, where
he would have met Colonel Porter6eld and
been safe.
No doubt there was fearful amount of
cruelty in Tarleton's nature, but We must not
cepsure our enemies without cause After
the lapse of century, we can look back
calmly at men and events, and We can say
that both Tarleton and Cornwallis were brave
men and skillful officers. CORVALLIS was a
gentleman, and he lauded and extolled Tarle-
ton for his management ofth affair at Wax
haw. It reflects no dishonor upon the patriots
to tell the honest truth about the men with
whom they had to contend. On the other
hand, no higher encomium can be passed upon
the Wings of America than to say that they
won their liberty in spite of as brave men and
as skillful officers as England ever sent to the
field of battle.
Both CORVALLIS and Tarleton were cruel,
and the latter was often barbarous; but as
we shall often meet these officers, we should
at least endeavor to discover the incentive to
this cruelty. Especially was their cruel acts
perpetrated in the upper section of South
Carolina and the lower and western sections Of
North Carolina. Both these regions Of coun-
try were settled by the same kind of people.
They were Wings by every instinct Of their
nature. The men were Wings and the wo-
men were Wings. To be free was a part of
their religion. Their history was known to
every we'll informed Englishman. They were
Scotch.Irish. When Colonel Tarleton enter.
ed the Waxhaw country he saw signs of this
fact. The thrift of the people and the defiant
looks of the mother and children revealed the
facts. The Bibles in their houses with the
Scotch versions of the Psalms, excited in his
mind strange and conflicting emotions. He
was afraid and he was enraged. He felt that
he must massacre or be massacred. He was
right. Had his command fallen into the
hands of Colonel Buford, and then into the
hands of the Scotch-Irish of Waxhaw, he
would never have seen, the face of King
George again. Even Tarleton's cruelty
aroused the spirits of the Scotch-1rish Of the
up country and made "Tarleton's quarters"
synonym for no quarters. No doubt Colonel
Tarleton thought, by his cruelty, he would
crush the spirits of the scoth.Irisb; but he
only aroused them to vengeance The surest
way to arouse Scotch Irishman to put forth
all the energies of his soul, is to contrary him.
Torture only evolves the powers of his endu-
rance. Treat him kindly, and he is as gentle
as a lamb; impose upon him, and he will
nurse his wrath until it gains momentum
which bids defiance to all obstacles. Tarle-
toms cruelty at Waxhaw was the beginning
of death struggle for liberty. The Scotch.
Irish never forgot the massacre OF Buford's
command and their great grand children to
this day feel their blood boil when Tarleton
and Waxhaw are mentioned.

GENERAL LEES WAR HORSE.

An ex-Confederate quartermaster named
Brown, living in West Virginia, gives the fol-
lowing account of General Lees war-horse,
Traveller:
The horse was bred by Mr.. Johnston, neal
the Blue Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier count,
West Virginia. 1t was of the "Grey Eagle"
stock, and, as colt, took the first premium,
under the name of "Jeff Davis" at the Lew
isburg fairs for each of the years 1859 and
1860. 1t was four years old in the sprung or
summer of 1861. Captain James w. John
ston, son of Mr. Johnston aforementioned,
sold me the horse for $175, Confederate States
notes, in the fall of 1861, when the Wise Le-
gion, with other troops under General Lee,
were encamped on Sewell Mountain, opposed
by General Rosecrans. While on Sewel
General Lee frequently admired the horse,
and more than once jestingly remarked to me
to take good care of his colt, as he expected
to need it before the trouble was over. as
quartermaster of the regiment (Third Wise,
or Sixtieth Virginia. had full privilege of
the rear, and kept "Jef" well stabbed and
groomed, at least five miles from the enemy.
In December, 1861, the regiment to which
was attached, then known as the Sixtieth Vir-
ginia, Colonel Stark, was ordered to the South
Carolina coast, whittier General Lee had al
ready preceded us. Of course "Je&" was
taken along. Upon meeting with General
Lee at Pocotaligo, South Carolina, he again
inquired about his colt in his usual winning
way. I then offered him the horse as a gift,
which he promptly declined, in the friendliest
manner, however; at the same time remark
ing that if would not willingly sell him the
horse, he would gladly use it for a week or two
to learn its qualities, &c. then left "Jef"
at General Lees stables. In about month
after, one of his staff officers returned the
horse to me, with note from General Lee to
the effect that the animal suited him, but that
he could no longer use so valuable horse, in
such troublous times, unless it were his own;
that if would not sell, please to keep the
horse, with many thanks that if I would sell,
the officer would pay ne my price and take
my receipt for the amount, &c. took and
receipted for 5000 Confederate States notes,
and "Jeh'" became the property of General
Lee. This was February, 1862. In the
spring of 1868 General Lee wrote me a note
stating that his horse had survived the war,
that it was known as Traveller" q recollect-
ed how he spelled the word, with two "Is")
and asking for the pedigree. obtained the
pedigree from Captain j. A. Johnston and for
warded it to General Lee. These details are
mentioned to recall the simple dignity and
honesty of the man even in so trivial matter
as horse trade.
