Ernnl The lSncctnfor.

From The Spectator
Fair were the dreamful days of old,
When, in the sleepy summer shade,
Beneath the beeches on the void,
The shepherds lay, and gently played
Music to maldcnS. who, afraid,
Drew all altogether rapturously,
Their white soft hands like white leaves laid
In the old, dear days in Already.
Men were not then as they are now,
Haunted and terrified by creeds;
They sought not then increasingly TO know
The end, that as magnet leads;
Nor told with austcrc fingers beads
Nor reasoned with their grief and gleo;
But rioted in pleasant mcads,
In the old, dear days in Already.
The future may he wrong or right
The present is distinctly wrong;
For lite and love have lost delight,
And bitter even is our song.
And year by year, gray doubt grows strong,
And Death is all that seems to drec;
Wherefore with weary hearts we long
For the old, dear days in Already.
ENvOI.
Glories and triumphs ne'cr will cease,
But men may sound the heavens and sea;
One thing is lost for aye,--the peace
OF the old, dear days in Already.

Letter From Athens.

ATHENS, August 3, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: Threshing generally done.
Wheat of an inferior quality, and as to
quantity, was far below what the former ex-
pected at harvest. Notwithstanding the
partial failure in wheat there will be about
the usual average sown this season. The
prospects for corn are not very fatterlng at
present, and unless it rains pretty soon 1t
will be an entire failure. Fruit of all kinds,
a complete failure 1t is quite noticeable
that the blackberry crop-that never failing
crop-was an entire failure this season. We
have not seen a quart i'll the market this
year.
Business is dull at present, The new
foundry that is being built by Mr.. Joe
Smith will soon be completed and when
finished will be quite an improvement to
orr town as it is nearer the business pOr-
ton of the town.
One thing that Athens can boast of and
that is of having one of the most genial, af
fable and accommodating postmasters that
can be found anywhere. No matter how de-
pressed and blue one may feel if he will only
drop around at the post-otfice for awhile he
is sure to come away with broad smile on
his face. 1t seems to be the mission of John
to barish dependency and scatter sunshine
and smiles.
Circuit court next week. We understand
from our clerk that there in an unusually
light docket We are glad to note this.
