A GRAVEYARD coURreHIP.
Lonlsyllle Conrier -JournaI.


Several months ago the helpmats
of Mrs Amelia Wagner died and his
remsips we're buried 10 Cave Hill
Cemetery ia the family burying
grounds. Time passed swiftly by,
and after daily vista to the GENE
terry Mrs. Wagner became cOuvinc
ed that monument reared over the
mound tina. covered her deceased
helpmate would much improve the
looks of thiogs tbereabou.s. so abe
bad a plain marble shaft erected
over bis grave This remained
there Cor some time, and Mrs. Wsg-
ner resolved that she would have
some inscription carved upon the
monument, setting forth the good
Qualities of the deceased, and lesv.
ing some memento # her affection.
She looked around for some ohe to
carve the inscription, and at length
Mr.. benjamin Fergerson was EN-
ploye and be commenced his task
three days ago. He began work
early in the morning, and during the
day the disconsolase widow came to
the cemetery to watch the progress
OF the work. The stone cutter WAS
deeply Interested 10 the widow, and
the more from the fact that she was
very handsome. He paused be
tween the strokes of his hammer and
spoke words of condolence to her.
She left 10 the evening thinking he
was q mighty nice man. He re-
turned to bis work the next day,
and the widow also came. Matters
were renew wed upon a more solid
footing than before, and by night a
bargain had been made that the
idow was TO pay him for his lAbors
by besto wiog upon him her hand,
and be was to occupy the place in
her bear. left vacant by the death Of
her husband. On the third day af-
ter their meeting, there was a quiet
wedding aud the two were made one.
The inscription on the monument
is only half completed. He will
probably renew his labOrs on the
epitaph AS soon as his honeymoon is
over.

rwELvn PERSONS DROWNED.

A terrible casualty occurred at the
Isle of Hope, near Savannah Friday
morning, by which twelve colored
people were lost. Just before {
o'clock the boat having seventeen
persons put off from Skidaway for
the purpose of coming to IsIe OF
Hcde. The capacity of the boat
was scarcely equal to half that mum
Der. The passengers we're men and
women, who carry on quite trade
in fish, aud being Friday we're more
anxious than usual to visit Savannah,
hence the crowded condition OF the
boat. The vessel had not gone more
than thirty or forty yards from the
landing when it careened and sank,
throwing the entire party Into the
water. Several were able to swim
and saved themselves, while others
persisted 10 endeavOring to save
others. The drowning accident ere
ated the greatest CONSERVATION among
the colored population.

THERE is q common notion that q
mans political character may be
separated from his religious charac-
ter, so far, in fact, that one may be
quite good and the other bad. No
opinion could be more absurd. The
character of every man, properly
considered, is unit. so much 80,
that the whole man is in each indi~
viduaI act. A man may pretend to
be very religious, pious, and all that,
while in practical business affairs
he is continually operating for the
attainment of his own selfish and
sinister ends, regardless of justice,
sincerity or truth; but his religion
is hypocritical pretence, and 10th
ing more.

The reason why -four is SO high is

either shipping it or holding it for
