RoMr, Ga, Oct. 1.-The sensation in
Rome to-day is that Rev. Sam Jones and
Sam Small are summoned to appear be-
fore the Grand juicy as witnesses.
The abnse Of Rome and its corruption
is what the Grand Jury wants informama-
ton on, those statements having been
made in the warehouse meeting few days
ago.
Several prominent members of the
Methodist Church were also summoned
the suhpccnaa being sent in this after
noon.
ROME, Ca, Oct. 1.-The charge Judge
Maddoch gave to the Grand Jury was a
vigorous one i is On the line that II
ministers Of the Gospel could stand Up

there are men here who ought to be in
the penitentiary, and Rome was hot

It was a Good SHOW.
Nashville Americ2r.l

Did you 20 to the circus? Well, if you
did not you missed it, as it Was good
all round show. Dir. Ilentz doesn't pro-
TESS to conduct the greatest show on
earth, but just The game it is good old
fashioned afair. The riding, tumbline
and trapezc work was far above the aver
age, while the mcnagcrie is not to be
sneezed at. And there is one thing about
Rentz & Co.'S show which the biggest in
stitutious might we'll emulate. All the
attaches arc courteous obliging and gen
tlemany and secm to realize it is then
duty 10 look after the comfort of the au-
dicncc. MI. Rcntz is a polished gentle
man, and will retain no one in his employ
VINO does not aim to come up to the stand
ard of excellence There is an entire
absence the element sharpers, so that
the smallest child is safe under RcnZ
d Co.'S tents. A good sized audience was
present in the afternoon, and in the even
ing the seats were all occupied. We can
consctcntiously Recommend Mr.. RENT
to the brethren Of tho Press, and assure
them that they will meet gentleman
from the ground up.

AIRY TONGUES.

4 -
Airy Tongues was recently taking with one
OF the young men here who takes less pleasure
III the hurly -buTly Of business than he does
in the delights Of literature, when the CONVEX
sation leaving the high roads of the we'll
known, fell into the bye-ways Of discoverable
beauties-from meteors to star-dust, as it
were.
"What do you think" said he, "of this bit
by Bourdillon? Could more be said in eight
short lincs2''
LIGHT.
The night has . thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light Of the bright world dies,
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light Of q whole life dies,
When love is done.
"a man must have loved and lost" lasfsed
the young man, "to have said that so we'll and
truly" -:
elbow apt we are" said he, Gin these prosy
days, when the commercial spirit is rampant
to Judge every thing and everybody bysasrolt
material standard. Here is lesson grace,
| fully and daintily told for men and wenseal--
especially women who regard frailtS mucl
more harshly than do men--these lines writer
| by Walter Learned, upon the fly leaf of alan
on Lescant,' that book with a moral, writer
by the Able Provost, which keep under lock
aud key, because everybody can not read il
with the proper understanding.
| To you, whose temperate pulses flow,
With measured beat, serene and SLOW,
The even tenor of whose way
Is undisturbed by passions sway;
This tale of hayward love may seem
/ The record of a fevered dream.
| And yet, we too have that within
To make lis what our kind have been.
A love more strong, wish more faint,
Makes one monster, one saint;
And ever love, by difference nice,
/ Becomes q virtue or vice.
The briar, that DER the garden wall
Trails its sweetest blossoms till they fall
Across the dusty road, and then
Are troddcn under the foot of men,
Is sister to the decorous rose
Within the garden well-kept close,
Whose pinioncd branches may not roam
Out and beyond their latticed home.
There's many life Of sweet content
| Whose virtue is environment.
! They erred, they fell; and yet, It's true,
They hold the mirror up to you.
"Your sweet heart" continued he, "know
all about the troublous times Of Edwards ~
and Y, and Richard III, between 1861 AM
14S5. Now, if you wish to make practca
application of poetry, send her white rose
accompanied by this pretty bit of sentiment
that went on one occasion in those days from
the Duke of Clarence to his inamorata, tn
lady E. Beauchamp, who was of the Opposing
party. That particular rose may have faded
but the verses will always be fresh in the eye
and to the heart of a lover
If this fair rose offend thy sight,
Place it in thy bosom bare,
twill blush to find itself less white,
And turn Lancastrian there.
And if thy ruby lips it spy,
| AS kiss it thou may'st deigD,
With envy pale twill lose its dye,
And Yorlist turn again.
