TO MY MOTHER.


OF all the render ties that bind
My heart to any other,
The sweetest, gentlest and mo It kind
Is that which will forever bind
My heart unto my mother.
The first of all my earthly friends,
Her love she'll never smother;
Day by day as the years go by,
Firmer, closer is drawn the tie
That binds me to my motheE
Far back to early childhood's hour,
The first Of any other,
I saw sweet, fond anxious face,
Bending DER me with angel grace, E
know it was my mother.
Since then never can forget, Y
How, more than any other, Il
She has been patient, gentle, kind.
O! all true friends to me | find
The best has been my mother.
And though | have to manhood
grown,
And learned to love another,
Yet first OF ali is still TO me
The tie aAich binds so tenderly
Ny heart unto my mother.
Then LET in future come what will,
Ne'er TO any other
I'll give that place within my heart,
| keep as sacred and apart,
TO give up my mother.

GEORGIA REpUDIATION.i 3

Georgia has repudiated her bonded
debt by an amendment to the Consti,
tdtion and forthwith it is urged that
Arkansas pursue a like suicidal policy.
There is no light which the repudia-
ton papers throw out this, subject
which serves to tlissipate the odinm
which attaches to the act. For it is
beyond question nobody denies it
that over two millions aud a half of
these bonds which are BOW repudiat-
led, passed the examination oof a
Democratic Legislature, and to use
the language of the act of that Legis-
lature: 1.-The States guarantee
placed on the bonds of the Macon
and Brunswick railroad is binding on
/ the State" But much of the bonded
debt Of the State was declared Illegal,
null and void, by a committees which
fexamined it, and the report Of this
committee was adopted. Now tins
Convention comes IN and accepts al
a finality the action Of a Legislaturs
in repudiating debt and In the mex
moment rejects the action Of the sam,
/ body affirming the validity Of a debt
Our account win not be denied for
lis simply history by reason Of CHI
y 7kdeclaration of Legislatures OF bot
'ipolitical parties affirming the vEalidit
Of certain of these bonds, they passeI
into the hands of their present own
',.tefs. This is Il bad thing for the peo
pie of Georgia to face, butt they nav
lit to do But thissis not the aiofs
instance of bad faith. A eertAi

THE FIRST WATERMELON.

There's o good deal of magnetism
about the first watermelon. A man
with two shllings in his vest pocket
and large family at home loves. to
halt in front of a grocery and discover
that watemelons are forty cents each,
and that tie grocer has quit the credit
business. Boys interested in the
slow but certain growth of suburban
melon patches hail the coming of the
Southern melon rs a sure sign that
they won't havesto wait over thirty
days more. Old folks who don't
know whether watermelon will agree
with them or not like to ask the
grocer's opinion, and like to heft
each separate melon and wonder
whether it's red core. OF q white
core. A fairlsh-looking old man
yesterday halted at a Grand River
avenue grocery which had melons on
sale, and as the proprietor came for
