The Nearest spot to Heaxen.

The Nearest Spot to Heaven.
Proud, restless, craving man, why do you
Toam9
No spot you'll find that's like ahappy home.
Why wander Ger the world so cold, to find
That happiness, alas! you've left behind?
Why leave the sweetest spot and things that
be,
To drift alone upon wreck-strewn sea?
Why quit heaven bright, that no cloud
mars,
To yearn and weep, at last, meath Afric's
stars?
Why go from under beautiful sky,
Upon lonely shore, to weep and die?
A happy home, where kind is ev'ry word,-
Where sweet and pleasant tones are ere heard,
Where blooms the heart, and love and peace
abound,
Is brightest cline a mortal man hath found.
A happy home, where cheerful smiles, and
bright,
Impart pure, pleasing, lustrious light,
And each dear inmate breathes fragrant air
My friend, Earth's nearest spot to heavens
therel R. D. MILLER.

Opposition to Iron Bridges.

Opposition TO Iron Bridges.
Mr. EDITOR: Thinking it advisable for
the interest of the people of Hardeman coun-
ty, and especially to warn the County Court
to be careful how they spend the public
money of the county in building free bridges
across Hatchie river, especially iron bridges
costing large sum of money. The State
of Tennessee appropriated thirty thousand
dollars for the opening of said river since
have been living in this county. Now as 1
am an old man and am well acquainted
with nearly ali the people on both sides Of
Hatchie river from Bolivar to the railroad
l am well aware that they will ask the Leg
islature to reopen said river in a short time
think the people who live between Bolivar
and the Memphis & Charleston Railroad
have as much right TO have the free naviga-
ton OF Hatchie river as those from Bolivar
down to the mouth of said river. I think
that the County Court had better build
good ferry boats and employ some man as
ferryman, that in my judgement would be
much safer and perhaps cheaper in the long
run. Now have given my reason on this
subject for the consideration of the County
Court We are opposed to the blocking up
of said river with bridges. L NJ. MACON.

DEAR Miss
Do not the lips oft fail to tell
A tale the pen relates so well?
Now then, this piece of patent steel,
Inspired, perhaps; by what I feel,
Emboldened quick to show my heart,
Let me employ. 1t viii impart
Some thoughts my lips will not express
Ay, make me now my love confess,
It does my passion here reveal,
Not hiding what my lips conceal.

VIZ regret that the Republican
State convention Of Pennsylvania,
which met at Harrisburg or the 4th
inst, felt it to be it's duty to instruct
its delegates to the national Repub.
lican convention to vote for General
u. s. Grant as the presidential can
didate. The probable bad feeling
which this action will engender will
last to the end of the next presiden-
tial contest, and by NO light in which
we can view the subject is it calcu-
lated to produce either good feeling
or harmony in the Republican ranks.
We can characterize this action of
the Pennsylvania convention in no
milder terms than the unwise pro-
ceeding of a body of men under the
influence of ~partizan office holders
and of~ice.seekers. The delegates to
the national convention should be
selected from intelligent, honest, in.
dependent and fearless voters of the
states and left free from the influ-
ence of any instruction, so that they
can cast their votes, after comparing
notes, for the best and most availa-
BILE man.
On the final vote in the Pennsyl-
vania convention to instruct the
delegates to the Chicago convention,
the resolution for Gen. Grant was
adopted by a vote of l43 to liz
against.
