MY RLuE-E,YRD BOY.
RY WILLIAM GEoGHEaAN

&I Nilsl-ItAh lHcSIrEo1->"
The soldier, when his battle 5 won,
And wars wild claug0r DER;
The exile, when ne feasts his eyes
On native land once more;
The poet, in his brightest dream,
Meier felt such holy JOY
AS comes to me when behold
My own, my blue-eyed boy.
There round him such tender grace
And such a winning way,
He's like q sunbeam in the house,
When dayHght's gone away;
And when he rims to welcome me,
al morning, noon, or night,
| think glimpse Of Paradise
is bursting on my sight.
But how can tongue or pen OF mite,
Portray q mothers love,
That surrounds him like halo
From the Throne of Light above!
Were mine the magic power THAI makes
The poets perfect art,
| ne or could tell how dear he is
Unto his mothers heart.
He's now the only solace left
TO cheer life's eyentide,
For. one by one, Gods angels took
His sisters from my side;
But we'll / know they're gazing down,
From Heavens Immortal sphere,
Upon the blue~eved boy WHOM God
Is pleased to leave me here.
Oh, oft 7 think, when gazing fond
into his Wipsome face,
Of how, when grown to mans estate,
He'll take bis father place,
God grant the pathway I have marked
For him, thro' future years,
May ne er run Ehr0' the shadOwlalli
OF SORROWS, ElO0ms and tears.

THE PoETICAI, LAWYER.
a Legal Argument Enlightened by Drop
ping Into Rhyme.

~
On Friday last r. w. Stubbs, of the
Macon (Ga.) Circuit, was admitted to
the bar of the Supreme court, and pro-
ceeded to argue a case inWhich there was
a dispute between a white man and a
negro about the title Of a lot of land.
After an elaborate argument of the case
Mr.. Stubs remarked to the court that
/ he had reduced mis- views to verse, and
begged leave to read them small poem
upon the subject. The grave justices
settled themselves more firmly into
their seats, drew a long breath, and
listened, Chief Justice Jackson ventur-
ing the remark that he hoped the court
were judges OF poetry as well as of law.
/ Without more ado the lawyer proceeded
to harness Pegasus to the legal car and
trot him out for inspection. AS page
! after page was turned, however, the
| judges became FESTIVE, while the MEM
bers Of the bar present INDUCED in au
dible smiles. At length Chief Justice
Jackson leaned forward and inquired:
How much more is tilere? Promptly
came the response: About nine huns
bred lines, SIR" well, said the chief
Justice, this court is much pressed for
time; the dockets are heavy, and we
are, unfortunately, precluded from in
dulging in the enjoyment of poetic
delights-at least to any great extent.
Regretting the necessity to miss hear
ing all of this poem, / suggest that we
compromise on the last ten lines. The
court further suggested to the attorney
that he might sample the poem, and If
they liked it they could take the entire
consignment, By allowing him to file
his poem as a part Of his argument.
Nj. Stubs has been highly compli-
mented by those who heard the poem,
and it is to be regretted that the poem
cannot be published In full, but the
following extracts will serve as speci
men:

A Prisoner Escapes.

Jerry Moore, a dusky barber of
this place, was before his Honor,
Mayor Cheatham, last Friday
the third or fourth time for abus-
ing his wife and demolishing her
household furniture. In view of
the fact that Jerry was an old Of
fender, he was given thirty days
work on the public thoroqghfares.
At night Jerry was given a bunk
in the guard house. Saturday
morning, about 4 o'clock, some
party, or parties, released Jerry
by breaking the locks on the door
of the prison, and Jerry is now
breathing the air of liberty in
parts unknown. John Hawkins,
who is also doing service on the
streets for wife beating, was re-
leased, but he refused 10 leave
and went to Policeman Crouch's
residence, awoke and inform
ed him of what had happened.
Upon Hawkins evidence Z. T.
MoNair, a white man Of this place,
was arrested Saturday and placed
under a $400 bond by Mayor
Cheatham for liberating Jerry.
In default Of the bond McNair
was turned over TO Sheriff Thorn
ton, who placed him in the county
jail to await the action of Terrell
Superior Court.

TERIsELL'S FIRST COTTON.
Two New Bales Received On the 9Th
inst.


Yesterday morning at u O'Clock Ter
ralrs first and Georgia's third bale Of cot,
ton was marketed in Dawson by Mr.. w.
+. G. Wall. 1t was driven to the ware
house OF ]. r. Mercer & Co., dumped off
and placed upon the scales to be weighed.
1t leyeletl the beam at $40, and after thor
ough inspection it was pronounced to be a
bale of low middling cotton. And we de-
sire TO remark that it was not an immature
bale Of cotton, but was picked, ginned and
packed after the burs had burst open
through no other influence than that ofnat-
ural causes. About 81 o'clock the same
morning crowd gathered at the ware
house and Mr.. r. L. Melton mounted the
bale and said that he was authorized to sell
it to the highest bidder. The bidding was
quite spirited for few moments and ran
as follows: ''8-S4 -9-94- 81 -988- 10,
and gone to w. ~. Lewis." Mr.. Lewis
having bought the cotton at 10 cents per
pound, put it upon the train and shipped
it at once to Columbus. Mr.. Wallis one of
Terrolls most enterprising farmers and is
entitled to tho distinction of ''irst bale
man" this year.
