LEGEND OF THE FucHsIA.

DEAR EDITOR I'm looking through
the scrap book of friend 1 found
the fol. Lowing, which l thought sc
beautiful that l transcribed it. Sup
posing that it might be apprecia
ted by some of you: readers, espe
cially the lovers Of Christ and flow
ers. l send it to you for publlca.
tiOn:
''Tis thus that when upon the cross
The sinless Savior died,
And the soldier with the cruel spear
Had pierced his precious side,
Tho holy drops flowed at his feet,
Then fell upon the sod;
When Mary. kneeling, wept foI Him
Her son and yet her God.
An angel who Was kneeliug near,
Thus breathed prayer to Heaven:
On. Father, let them not be lost,
Those drops so freely given;
But in some form of beauty, still
Let them remain on earth,
And then upon the rugged hill,
Give some sweet flowers birth,
When forth from the ensanguined sod,
A Fuc' sia sprang that morn.
Rich crimson dyed with Christian blood,
Wrapped in his robe of seorn;
Dropping in sorl ow, still it bows
Ever its graceful head.
ShIvering in the slightest breeze,
Trembling in fear and dread.
For the dark shadows of the Cross,
Can nee forgotten be,
When all the perfume of its breath,
Was spent on Calvary;
Yes, offering i's rich fragrance there,
An incense at His feet.
The Fuchsia though so beautiful,
Can ne er more be sweet" T. 8.

Liberty is like a sword, good or

1t is good if they use it as our ia

Things not to 20 Forgotten.

Grant is the man who wiped out
local authority; who planted cannon
around the State house at New Or
leans 20 enforce Federal power;
who stationed United States troops
in the capitol at Columbia at the
assembling Of the legislature, and
stationed "A Deputy Marshal at
every voting place; who called an
army to Washington 20 see that
Hayes was seated in the Presiden-
tial chair lie it was who, as the
representative Of a centralized gov
ernment, was ready TO ride rough
shod over all Stale Governments.
These things will not be forgotten
by the South. Instead Of giving
Grant strength, they will take from
HIM, for the white race is dominant
and will be in the South for many
years to come. The North is the
section 20 which Grants friends
must look for suppOi I, and upon II

Pen Picture Of One Solid Man in The
Solid South.

PULASKI, GILES Co, Tenn, Dec. 3.
To the Editor of the Commercial:
Did you see him? He was com
ing out of the door of the Giles
National Bank; he had just dumped
a handful of the subsidiary into
his vest pocket; he was showing a
roll of bank notes into his pocket
book; he wore no coat; his jeans
pantaloons were flecked with cot
ton, so was his wool hat; he had
just sold three five hundred pound
bales, and had cashed the check.
Leaving the bank he went in the
western door of the Courthouse.
In few minutes he passed out of
the eastern door. He was folding
up his tax-receipt. Did you hsar
hime Bill, he says, ''I have just
paid my taxes. l don't owe nary
man on top of dirt one cent" He
had followed johnson in the charge
at Shiloh; he was with Hood in his
retreat from Nashville; ne had
proved himself man of courage;
he was an affectionate husband, a
kind father. There was conscious
ness creeping over him that if not
born nobleman, be was to-day an
independent sovereign. He met his
wife and daughter on the pave
ment. "What did you get for your
cotton, husband?" '$I1 25, wan
that good prics?" "Yes. we can
live at that"
She drew him to one side, "Hus
band" says she, you have more cot
ton to sell and pork to spare. Our
Mary is now seventeen years old,
the young men are coming to see
her; couldn't you give her a seal
brown merino dress, trimmed with
silk. Mrs Rudd will fit and baste
it for a dollar and l can make it on
the machi3e, and go to Mrs. Gra-
ham and get her So bonnet, she
never had one, and Johnny wants
pair of boots, and"-"Wife, says
the farmer, ''since the war we have
haG hard struggle to make a sup
port. You have done your part
without grumbling or complaining.
Now my head is above water;
what's mine is yours; there is the
pocket book with the money. Use
it in any way you want to-"
"Yes," she says with a smile,
"you know full well l will not
abuse any confidence you repose in
me-" She turned to go to the
store; he went to look after his
team. Now just look at him! He
is at home seated in front of a
roaring log fire. The black cook
is getting supper in the kitchen.
She pauses to smile over her red
calico dress and new calfskin shoes.
Johnny is strutting around with his
boots drawn over his pantaloons.
Mary is before the glass trying on
her new bonnet. The baby is

The Way to Prosperity.

Over IN South Carolina they held
a fair at AbbevIlle, the other day,
and Wade Hampton made speech
in which he recommended to the
State a development OF her resour-
ces as the only means to assure
prosperity and happiness. He, in
other words advised the people to
pay less attention to politics and
more to the work of their farms.
He told them if they would take care
of the land the State would take
care of Its rights and that the
true doctrine of State rights con-
sisted in independent citizens all
living in political equality. He
told them farther, that they ought
to respect the rights of the negroes,
pay them good wages, make them
feed Independent, let them vote as
they please, and try to add to their
happiness in every possible way, so
as TO endear them to the State.

A Rhyming Romance.

He was young, he was fair, and
he parted his hair, like the average
beaux, in the middle; he was proud,
he was bold-but the truth must be
told he played like fiend on the
fiddle.
Barring his voice, he was every
hing nice, and his heart was so
loving and tender, that he always
turned pale when he trod on the
tail of the cat lying down by the
fender.
He clerked in a store, and the
way that he tore off calico, jeans
and brown sheeting, would have
tickled calf, and made the brute
laugh in the face of a quarterly
meeting.
He cut quite dash with dar-
ling mustache, which he learned to
adore and cherish; tor one girl had
said, while she dropped her proud
head, that 'twould kill her to see
the thing perish.
On Sundays he'd search the
straight road to the church, unheed'
ing the voice of the scorner; and de-
murely he sat, like a young tabby
cat. with saints, in the amen corner.
He sang like bird, and his sweet
v, ice was heard fairly tugging
away at long meter; and we speak
but the truth when we say that this
youth could outsing a hungry mos
quito.
She was young, she was fair, and
she banged her hair, like the aver
age belle of the city; she was proud
but not bold-yet the truth must be
told-the way she chewed wax was a
pity.
Barring this vice, she was every
thing nice, and the world admired
her hustle; the Pulaski boys, being
calmed by the noise, walked miles
to hear it rustic.
She cut quite a swell, did this
wax ch5wing belle, and the men
fiocked in crowds to meet her; but
she gave them the shi-k, for she
loved the young clerk, who sang
like a hungry mosquito.
So she hemmed and she haWed,
and she sighed and she chawed, till
her heart and her jaws were broken;
then she walked by his store, where
he stood at the door awaiting some
loving token.
She raised up her eyes with
mock surprise, and tired to enact
the scorner; but to tell the truth,
ste grinned at the youth who loved
the amen corner.
They met-alas! what
came to pass was sweet and pre-
cious; they wooed, they cooed. he
talked, she chewed-oh! had he
loved! Good gracious! They had
to part, he rose to start; her grief
cannot be painted; these are the
facts; she swallowed her wax, then
screamed, then choked, then tainted.
Her pa appeared; her beau, quite
scared, rushed out to get some
water; the watch deg spied his ten
der hide, and bit him where he
"oughter."
The tale is sad, the sequel stern
so.thinks the youth thus bitten.
He sings no more, as oft OF yore-
he gave the girl the mitten. She
pined apace, her pretty face looked
slender and detected; her father
kind, but somewhat blind, beheld
it and reflected. His income tax
he spent for wax-she smiled, and
called him clever. She went TO
work, forgot the clerk, and chawed
ip bliss fore yer.
