BLACKBERRIES AND KISSES.

Blackberries ripe blackberries
VIII you come and see?
Over all the woods and lanes
They are running free.
Biackberries ripe blackberries
Will yOu come and eat?
Nature bids you to the feast
Spreads the wild, free treat.
Bob White and Bob a. Linkum,
With their ladies fair,
Robin Red and Cardinal,
Are already there.
Jenny Wren and every bird
One would wish TO see,
Famed for beauty, love, or song,
JON the company.
Sing and eat, and eat and sing.
While the children shout;
And fond lovers 'mong the vines
Wander in and out
Wander slowly, STOPPING low,
Lest the fruit they miss:
All ! l wonder which is sweetest
Berries, or kiss?
(which is sweetest, merry robin?
Tell me which is best"
And he waroled, "Black berries
Berries for my nest"
Which is sweetest, happy lovers,
Happy as you sigh ?''
Laughing low, they answered me,
You had better try
children, who in purple juice
Dye your finger-tips,
Purple are youI garments dyed,
Purple are your lips.
Through the woods and lanes ani fields
Each a welcome gaest,
Cln not answer what ( ask 90
'Blackberries are hest!'
"RlacY berries, of course, are best;
Who would kisses want? 30
Said a sturt!y, laughing lad,
Brown aud confident,
"Blackh-rri-s, of'course, are best;
What do you say, Gracr?"
And the little lass replied
That's of course, the case -
But above them sang bird
Ia a uncking tongue,
"Wait a little longer, dears,
Iou are rather young.
Birds who know a thug or two
Well may tell you this
Blackhrrries are very good,
Bat better tar = 4 kiss.

An ECCENTRIC FIG TREE.-A cores
pondent Of the Santa Barbara (Cal) Press
says: ''Mucl: has been written about the
curious freaks of nature this season in
Southern California, particularly with fruit
trees, but think fig tree in my garden
caps the climax for eccentricity. This tree
is one of the white Smyrna variety. The
first crop ripened in June. The fruit was
white-skinned and very large and most ex-
celent, "a specimen of which sent you.
Now comes the funny part of the story
This same tree puts forth a very full second
crop, and the figs are ripe now, and have
been for two weeks past, and are iipening
every day, but the frui: is blue. Who can
account for this caper? There are two
different and distinct valieies of fruit on
the same tree in successive crops the same
season. The first crop were all white the
secoud crop are all blue"

RETRENcHMErT.

EDITORS JoURNAL-We have liv-
cd 10 a day when we had statesman
and wholesome laws, short terms in
Office, and officers knew If they fails
ed to do their duty 10 Office they
would not be re>elected. If it was
SO to-day we would have more faith
full officers. If our members sent to
represent us in our Legislature had
but one term, our taxes would soon
become lighter. If they would re.
duce their own pay to four per day
and all other salaries, both in State
and county, of those that hold Office,
then we would have retrenchmsnt.
We know they say they can't afford
to represent US for four dollars day.
We say we have been as well repre-
sented for three dollars day as they
do for seven and nine. We say to
such men stay out the way we can
get men for four dollars that will be
glad to serve US and do it as faithful
as those that have got the big pay,
for it is the salary they want or they
would have reduced it before now.
We want statesmen that think it to
be an honor to them to represent us
and carry out the wants and wishes
of their constituents in true faith, for
we are loaded with heavy taxes
erievous to be borne and we think
unnecessarily and uncalled for. We
have from year to year solicited our
Legislators to reduce their big per
diem and all other salaries to what
would be reasonable, but our expe-
rience is they don't want retrench-
ment. The only remedy we sec is
to have convention and make a
constitution that will reduce all
terms in office, especially our legis~
lators to one year and limit the ses>
sion to thirty days. Four dollars
per day is the main step to retrench-
ment and we will have plenty Of can
didates at these figures and as good
men as we have had for twenty
years. AN OLD FARMER.

THE COST.

Some persons oppose a Conven'
ton because they say it will cost too
much and that it would be less ex-
peDsive to change by Legislative
amendment. Upon the very cheap
est plan, a Convention would be the
most economical of the two. To
make the change by Legislatures it
will cost according to what the Leg
islatares of 1876 and II cost, $222,-
900, taking two successive Legislas
lures to pass the bill, then have to
submit it to the people for ratifca>
ton. The cost of the Convention Of
1866 was $45, 900, but taking $780,,
900, the extreme 10 which the oppo>
nents of a Convention go 10 stating
the amount of cost Of a Convention
of 1877, and we have $4,000 saw
ed the people in favor of a Conven'
ton. But this is not all, we save 10
the two years the reduction of the
Legislature, reduction of expenses,
and the change to biennial sessions
$4,000. If we can affect the
changes we ckn hold a Convention
every year for five years, and save
money to the people.

prominent citizen with an interest,"
ing reminiscence of the time when
men were mighty to lift up against
the thick tress, and there we're also
grand boles for them to work up
their muscles upon. About 20 years
ago DR.. E. S. Barrows employed
three men to cut down a remarkable
burr oak that grew on Big Island,
below this city. After two days
hard work they succeeded in cutting
all around it, and then sawed
through the immense trunk The
Doctor then spent most of the wins
ter, in person, cutting it up, az
hesl.h exercise, like Bishop Whately
and Horace Greeley, who found chop
ping the most beneficial of out door
recreations. The tree possessed no
less than five hundred large sized
fence posts, fifteen cords of wood,
swarm of bees, tub of honey and
two large coons, besides lot of un>
available knots, etc. 1t was not
very good winter for bears or one or
two bruins would have probably
been found in the hollow. Many of
the fence posts are standing, sound
as ever, upon the Doctors farm. IT
any one wants to get realizing
sense of how much bulk there is in
800 oak posts and Is cords of wood,
let him visit wood yard, and
pretty big one at that This might
pass for an cold settlers yarn" were
it not so thoroughly substantiated by
the character of the parties who
vouch for it and by the size of the
still remaining stump, which DR.. B.
intends soon revisiting. One of the
workmen who assisted in the raising
of the forest monarch is still living.

Editor Gdzette--The cutting down
and working up of a big tree by me,
was about as represented by the Ga
zette on Tuesday.
Well, what of it Z Wood piles are
not made without effort, neither do
post oak fences grow without assis>
lance. Coons are free TO make their
homes where and as they will, and
bees, while pursuing their deter
mined purpose o! perpetuating their
own Municipalities, have the credit
of knowing what :hey are about.
Laudable enterprises are not con-
summated independent of intelligent
labor, by man, coon or bee
Then, again, what of it He who
has served an apprenticeship at the
manual manifestations in the econo>
mics necessary to the successful
originating of a hearty being, must
do hearty work.
As a general rule he who fingers
by the way, with mouth and eyes
open, wondering how others avail
themselves of expedients, will find
their days, months, years and lives
dissipated and wasted.
Timber townships are not turned
to fertile meadows by surprised
gaze. Nature will betray the secret

That unnecessary clause in our
State Constitution that brands our
people as rebels, should be stricken
out. This done, it will not be neces
sary to insert anything in its place,
and then its constitutionality cannot

southern sister States have made
new constitutions, peacefully and
without revolution, and Georgia can
do the same.
