BOHEMIAN.

Mr.. EDIToR:-l notice in your
valuable paper letters from various
portions of the county, and now as
we are about erecting an academy
and Masonic Lodge, 1 think our
town large enough to be represented
also. Therefore l will give you ali
idea of how the young folks spent
the Christmas holidays. The earth
has been covered with the beautiful
snow for several weeks past, but
notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather the boys. and girls of
Bohemian seemed determined to
spend merry Christmas. AS the
holidays drew near the boys became
gallant and the girls buoyant. On
Tuesday night previous to Christ
mas the young people had a party
at Mr.. John Carter's. OF course
they had merry time. Christmas
night we attended a "cornpopping
party" at Mr.. r. r. LIS. Part of
the crowd met at Mr.. C.'s, and away
they plodded, through the snow,
so'er hill and dale" with all the
elacticity and ardor of youth to the
place of meeting. When we arrived
there, quite number of ladies and
gentlemen had already assembled
and were Willing the hours away
with gay.conversation. Quick jests
and brilliant repartee were ex
changed, and the evening passed off
very pleasantly. The enjoyment of
the guests was largely due to the
hospitality of the host'and hostess.
On Wednesday evening at 2
o'clock, Mr.. r. Buchanan, hand
some young gent of Weekley, led
the much loved and admired Miss
Fronie Braly to the hymenial altar,
where they exchanged vows to love,
honor and cherish each other until
death do them part. After little
refreshment, the bridal party left
Mr.. Braly's, with many congratula-
tions for their success and happi-
ness, and started for Mr. Kimbro's,
where they soon arrived, and hav-
ing done full justice to the "old
gobbler," cakes, pies, &c, played
"Charlie" and "Good old man In
the house." of which Mr.. X. acted
his part well.
The old year has passed rapidly
away. The cold winds are chant
ing a requiem DER its grave. How
many sweet hopes and bright antic-
ipations will lie buried with it.
How many who begun the last year
with buoyant hopes of success, have
long, ere the cycles of time had
wound the old year to close,
.shuffled off this mortal COIL" are
sleeping the last great sleep, that
knows no waking till God shall send
a heavenly messenger, who, with
one foot upon the land and the
other upon the sea-" shall proclaim
that time shall be no more. What
a sad proclamation will it be to the
unprepared, and yet, on the other
hand, what a joyful one to those who
have been faithfully working in the
Masters vineyard!
Let us begin the new year with
brighter hopes of success, and may
the record of 1877 be without spot
or blemish. RoxANA.
The above letter came too late
for our last issue. We hope Rox-
ana will write every week so that
her letter will reach US by Monday
at least ED.

1876 has passed into the vast re-

OrtOn's Refusal.
Specialize Cincinnati Enquirer.

Specialize Cincinnati Enquirer.
Orton's refusal to produce the
kilograms asked for by Morrison S
Louisiana Committee by setting up
the excuse that the Board of Direc-
tors had taken away from him this
discretionary power, is another
move of the conspirators for delay.
The refusal, also, to produce the
telegram bearing on the Oregon
course of Gov. Grover was the re-
suit of put-up job by Morton, who
purposely made the demand to give
Orton a chance to refuse, so as to
make 1t appear to the public that
the refusal was based on Orton' S
disinterestedness, and that he did
not propose to comply witls the de-
mand of either party. The truth
S, that all through the campaign all
impo rtant political dispatches OF
the Democratic leaders which went
over Orton's line leaked out in
svme mysterious way.

summing up the evil and the good,
we will find that the latter has been
largely in excess, calling for our
most grateful acknowledgements
to the Divine dispenser of whose
mercies we have been the unmeri-
torious recipients.
A reasonable success has attend
ed our respective labors. The hus-
bandman's toll has been rewarded
with an abundant harvest, while
our land has enjoyed immunity
from "the pestilence that walketh in
darkness and the destruction THAT
wasteth at noon day"
While few of us are disposed to
pause mid the hurry and hustle of
daily cares TO retrospect our yester-
days, we should each as we pass out
from the old, and cross the thrcsh-
of the new year, carefully review its
record as relates TO ourselves, and
though among the few good deeds
here and there, we are confronted
by many commissions Of wrong and
omissions of duty, awaking painful
reflections and unpleasant assucia-
tions we should not endeavor to
obliterate them from the memory,
but let them stand as beacons to
warn us of repetition in future.
In entering upon the new year, it
is proper that we invoke the aid
and guidance of Him whose benefi-
cence has crowned the past with
manifold blessings.
Let us set about correcting every
pernicious habit, restraining every
undue passion and cultivating those
virtues which, while they elevate and
adorn the character, win. the approx
al of Heaven and enlist the admira
tion of humanity.
Let US refrain from croaking and
accept every result in a hopeful
spirit, view them in the light of
blessings in disguise, rememberin 6
that "God often gives with a smile
what we take with q tear" Let us
as we pass along, dispense kind
words of encouragement to the err
ing, they may prove gems of inesti
mable value; scatter pearls of cheer
and hope, they may arouse the flag
glng energies of some desponding
one and incite him to renewed eX
ertion for the accomplishment of a
noble pupose.
Let us CLEAN wisdom from the
past and stamp Improvement upon
every moment of the future, i'm
provement ot..such character as will
furnish enjoyment for after thought
and upon which our minds will de-
light to ponder in the hours of self
communion. May this be to each
of US very happy year, one bring
ing at It's close no regrets for dere
liction of duty, but the approving
smile of Heaven and the blessings
of those around US. ID.

An effusion in a late number of the CITIZEN
purported to describe in moving terms, the
last speech and death of the late T. L. N
That departed shade was raped up by q
medium, a I'd asked what ne thought ofit.-
Net in malice, but carrying out the rule Of
tut for tat, he thus replied:
A stupid brute to burdens born
Once got into his heart,
That could he ape some beast of sense
The world would think him smart.
He gamboled like dog at play,
He curled his tail on high,
And low, WOW, WOW, he tried to bray,
And thought show droll am I.n
And droll he was. for all who came
And saw his movements may,
With ieers and laughter, cheered him on,
And cried, "the ass is crazy"
MORAL.
When one Apollo hath not blessed
With sense of song OF wit,
Attempts a role beyond his strength,
And thinks he's made hit,
The jeers and grins he often wins
From those who by him pass,
Are at, not with him, and because
He made himself an Assignee of cerebral
property to which he had no proper title

The March snow of S43, fell on
the 10th, averaged IA inches deep
on a level, and did not entirely dis
appear until the first of April. 1t
had rained all the morning of the
10th, and it was supposed that at
least two inches melted as it fell.
The late snow averaged about 10
or possibly IL inches here in Pulas-
XII, though in some portions of the
county it was much deeper.

NASHVILLE, Jan. Ii, 1877.

All the talk now is about the do
ings Of the Legislature. Even the
Presidential muddle is lost sight of
in that talk. The hotels and board
ing houses are full of people from
everywhere, and they are all max
ing suggestions as TO what the Leg
islature ought to do. Members are
instructed what to do and what not
to do, not only by their constitu-
ents, but BY men from other States
and other countries. A man who
undertakes to represent all sorts Of
people, and to give perfect satisfac
ton to citizens and foreigners, must
have a coed deal of head above his
ears-more, ! fear, than some Of
tbs legislators have; for chance, or
what is called good luck, or some
thing for which [ can find no name,

lots of people who agree to that as-
sumption and feel it to be big

their being here. What wonder.

The history of the patriarch ia
cob furnishes some practical lessons
which are especially pertinent to
the present time. He is described
ns returning home after twenty
years absence, and as being in
dread OF the revenge which his an
CRY and deceived brother Esau
might be inclined 10 take. The pa.
triarch disposed his family and
worldly possessions into three
bands, and made such preparations
as he could toward conciliating his
brother, and, in case Of failure, to
fight And having done all he
could he committed his cause to
God in that beautiful PRAYER in
which he poured out his soul and
told the Almighty that he was not
worthy of the least of all the mer-
cies and of all the truth which God
had showed unto him; "for," said
he, "with my staff l passed over
this Jordan. and now am become
two bands. Deliver me, l pray
thee, from the hand of my brother,
from the hand of Esau." Genesis
xxi: I0,1l) We should take the
same threetold method to meet the
dangers that impend and threaten
us, by appeasing gifts-gifts OF
kindness and sacrifices of love and
forbearance. These are the best of
lefngs that we can make before
God.
Jacob did not vaunt his worldly
possessions before his brother. He
did not claim that authority which
the possession of the birthright and
his fathers blessing had given him
over his brother. 81 am stranger
and sojourner here" he said, land
what are all these things but ban
bles light as air?' We ought to
come before our fellows as Jacob
did Before his brother, feeling that
what we have and are, whether we
be strong or weak, are but the gifts
of God. We must not expect to
ride rough-shod over the neeks of
others, relying merely upon our
own strength, but, depending on
Providence, seek to avert the threat
