WEEKLY CHAT WITH THE LIT
TLE ‘ ONES.
Well, my dear little friends, for this
week I have found a little German
stoiy which I will transscribe for your
especial benefit —and I hope you will
not fail to lay to heart the lesson it
teaches. It is called “The Three Alms. 5 ’
Thus it runs:
A long time ago there lived two
young lords, who were as rich as they
could ask to be, and as handsome as
their mother could wish them. Mylio,
the oldest, was seventeen, Tonyk near
ly fourteen. Tonyk was kind-hearted,
always ready to help the poor, and to
pardon offences ; his heart full of love,
and his hand ever ready to give. My
lio on the contrary gave to no one, not
even what he owed them; he was al
ways trying to cheapen what he bought,
and if any one injured him, he reven
ged himself as severely as possible.—
Their father died when they were little
children, and their mother, an excel
lent lady, had educate’d them herself.
As the boys grew older she thought ot
sending them to a distant uncle that
they might profit by his good council,
and at some time or other succeed to
his great possessions. So one day she
gave them each anew hat, shoes with
silver buckles, a sky-blue cloak, a purse
full of gold, and a good horse, and thus
equipped she sent them to live with
their uncle. The two youths set off
highly delighted to visit a land that
was wholly new to them. One morn
ing, as they were riding over a cross
way, they saw a poor woman sitting
beside the stone cross by the way-side,
who kept her face covered with her a
pron. T >nyk drew up his horse, and
asked what was the matter. The beg
gar-woman answered sobbing, that her
son, her only support, had died the
day before, and that she was now left
to the mercy ofstrangers. Tonyk was
touched with compassion ; but Mylio,
who had ridden on, stopped some way
off, and cried out to him mockingly :
“You surely are not going to believe
every beggar you meet with on the
way ! Ttiia woman is only looking out
for the purses of the passers by.”
Tonyk answered, “Speak not so
harshly, ray dear brother, see how your
hard words make her weep. Only see
now, how much in figure and age she
is like our mother.” Then, turning to
the beggar, he said as he reached her
his purse, “Take it my poor woman, I
cannot indeed do much, but heaven
will further help you.”
The woman took the purse and kis
sed it, saying to Tonyk,
“Noble lord, you have made a poor
woman rich ; refuse not this nut from
my hand ; there is a wasp in it with a
diamond sting.” Tonyk took the nut,
thanked the poor woman and contin
ued his way with Mylio. Before long
they reached the edge of a wood, and
there they saw a half naked boy look
ing about in the holes of the trees, and
singing in a most doleful manner from
time to time he would beat his frozen
hands together to warm them, and then
say in a singing tone, mournfully, “O !
I’m freezing —I’m freezing!” They
could hear his teeth chatter. At this
sight tears came into Tonyk’s eyes, and
he said to his brother, “Ah, Mylio,
how that poor innocent boy must suf
fer with cold!”
“He must be a very chilly body,”
answered Mylio. “I do not find the
cold so cutting.”
“ But you have on a satin vest, and
over that a cloth coat, and over that
still the sky-blue cloak ; but he is half
naked. An ! it goes to my very heart,
when I think that you might have been
born in his place. I cannot see him
suffer so.”
At these words he stopped his horse,
called the boy to him and asked what
lie was doing.
“I am hunting for titmice, that sleep
in the holes oi the trees,” answered
the boy.
“And what do you do with titmice ?”
“When I have caught enough, I
shall carry them to the city to sell, so
that I may buy me a coat, that will
keep me as warm as though the dear
sun shone all the time.”
“Have you found any yet?” asked
Tonyk—
“Only one a- yet,” replied the boy,
showing a little cage made of rushes,
in whic . sat a little titmouse.
“Give it to me. I will buy it of you,”
said Tonyk, and he threw sky-blue
cloak over him. “Wrap yourself up
in it, you need it more than I.” The
two brothers now set off again. Mylio
ridiculed his brother, and indeed Tonyk
suffered considerably at first, from the
north-wind, for want of his warm
cloak. But when they had passed
through the wood, the air grew mild
er, the mist melted away, and the sun
threw its friendly rays through the
clouds. They soon came to a meadow
where aspring was flowing, near which
sat an old man covered with rags, and
a beggar’s pack on his shoulders—as
soon as he spied the travellers, he
called to them with tones and gestures
of earnest entreaty.
“ W hat do you wish old man ?” asked
Tonyk, taking off his hat to the vener
able old man.
“Ah, my dear gentlemen,” he an
swered, “you see my hairs are gray,
and my cheeks are hollow—l am so
weak from extreme old age, that my
limbs can no longer carry me—l must
perish here; if one of you will not sell
me his horse.”
“ You buy one of our horses, you
beggar !” cried Mylio contemptuous
ly, “and how will you pay for it?”
“Look at this hollowed acorn,” an
swered the beggar, “there sits a spider
in it that spins threads stronger than
steel; give me one of your horses, and
I willgive you the acorn and spiderfor
it.” The eldest broke out in a loud
laugh. Do you hear ? cried he, “I be
lieve the old man is an impudent
fool.”
But the younger brother mildly re
plied, “a poor man cannot oiler more
than he has.” Dismounting from his
horse, he approached the old man and
6aid, “I give you my horse, good old
man, not on account of the price
which you offer for it, but for pure
compassion’s sake ; it is yours.” The
old man wished him a thousand-fold
- TANARUS” ‘ r
blessings, and gave him the acorn —
mounted the horse with his help, and
disappeared from the meadow.
“But Mylio could not forgive this
last alms-giving of his brother.”
“Senseless prodigal”! he cried an
grily, “are you not ashamed of the
condition into which your folly has
brought you? You think, forsooth, af
ter you have squandered all your own
property, to share my purse, my cloak,
and my horse. You have deceived
yourself. You may now gain wisdom
through adversity, and study econo
my.” “You are right, my brother,”
answered Tonyk gently. “It will be no
bad lesson for me, and lam not dis
posed to escape the consequences at
your expense. It never occurred to
me to lay claims to your money, cloak
or horse; so ride on your way quietly
and happily without troubling your
self about me.”
Now my little readers do not forget
this much of my story before the next
Index is issued —it was too long to
send all at once, but will be finished
next time.
THAT IS TOO SIMPLE.
I was attending a protracted meet
ing in an adjoining town, and had been
endeavoring, according to the ability
given me by God, to assist souls in
finding Jesus. A brother who had for
years been stumbling at this simple
way, called on me, and requested to be
instructed in the way of faith. Well,
I endeavored to simplify it in various
ways, but all had no effect. -I was al
most ready to give up, thinking I could
not in any way help his mind. At
length, in reply to my remark, that
he must make the unreserved surren
der of himself to God, and that it was
his privilege when all was consecrated,
yea, and duty, when he did this, to be
gin then to reckon himself the Lord’s,
simply believing that his offering was
an acceptable onethrough Jesus Christ,
he exclaimed, “O, that is too simple;
I must do something more than that!”
Just then an illustration struck my
mind. It was this; Brother 8., sup
pose you had a watch, and it would
not time. You try to regu
late it, but all your efforts are vain;
now what would you do with it?”
“I would take it to a jeweler, and
have it repaired,” was his reply.
“Very well would you stand con
stantly by his side, and assist a little
here and there ?
“Oh, no,” said he; “I should place
the watch in his hands and go about
my business.”
“Yes, yes, brother 8., now do just
so with that heart ot yours. It is out
of order; it does not keep good time ;
it is not in harmony with the great
heart of Christ. Take it to him ; He
is the great repairer of hearts. He
knows precisely how to regulate it. It
was for this very purpose He come on
earth, that He might put hearts in or
der. Place it in His hands, and, as
you remarked respecting the watch,
‘go away about your business.”
“That is it! that is it! Iwill do it”
he exclaimed, with much earnestness.
Why, sister F., .he way of faith is
simplicity itself. Look at the case of
a man who came to the Saviour, cry
ing, “Lord, if thou wilt, thou cans’t
make me clean.” Listen to the reply ;
“I will: be thou clean.” He sends a
blind man to the pool of Siloam, there
to wash off the clay which He had put
upon his eyes. He washed and came
seeing. Was the virtue in Siloan’s
pool ? Nay, verily: but in faith that
led him there to wash. Naaman was
one of those who suppose they must
do “some great thing” ere the work
can be accomplished. The simple
bathing seven times in the despised
Jordan was not thought of. Dipping
in Abana and Pharpar would be far
better. He turns away in his splendid
chariot enraged at the prophet’s pre
scription.
“I t by having one of my legs ampu
tated I could become a Christian, I
would be one to-day,” said a beloved
friend with whom I had been con
versing in regard to the interest of his
soul. The way of faith looked to him
like folly. He could not believe that
on 6nch a simple point man’s eternal
destiny turned, that such a great
change as the Christian spoke of, could
result from such a simple exercise.—
He, too, wished to do “something
more” than merely believe ; he, too,
wanted to do “some great thing,” or
behold some striking outward manifes
tation.
♦*+
ANSWERS EXPECTED.
When we write a letter to a friend,
we expect an answer. We wait for it.
We are disappointed if it does not
come.
When we ask a favor from an inti
mate friend, we expect to receive it.—
If we are hungry, and go to the house
of a friend and ask for food, we wait
with the expectation of seeing it set
before us. We do not ask for it, and
then leave the house with the air of one
who expected no favorable reply to
his request.
How is it with respect to our pray
ers ? Do we expect answers to them ?
Do we wait for them ? Are we disap
pointed when they do not come? Or
do we go the throne of grace and
make our request, and then go away
with the air of one who has no expec
tation of receiving that which he asked
for?
How far are our prayers mere
forms ? How far are they insulting to
God ? so? what is it to ask him for that
we do not expect him to bestow ?
True prajer is a very serious mat
ter. It should not be offered without
forethought and preparation. We
should not be content to utter a con
tinuous series of petitions. That may
be making a prayer, but it is not pray
ing- •
The greatest impudence on
record is that of the Yankee, in Rome,
who stopped a religious procession in
order to light his cigar by one of the
“Holy” candles. Before the candle
bearer recovered from his astonish
ment, the smoker had calmly disap
peared. i

“STYLE OF CHEAP WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

HEARN SCHOOL.
.CAVE SPRING, FLOYD COUNTY, GEORGIA.
THIS Institution for the year 1860, will be un
der the superintendance of Mr. James C.
Rrown, of Coweta Cos., Georgia, who graduated at
Mercer University at the last Commencement.
He comes highly recommended as a young man
of promise and ability, well prepared to take charge
of an Institution of this character. We solicit for
the sehool under his care, the kind feelings and
patronage of its friends and the public generally.
Cave Spring is, doubtless, as well known to the
public of this State, as well as Cherokee, Alabama,
as a place, beautiful in its scenery, healthful in its
location, and free from the immoral influences to
which many similar villages are subject. It is set
tled up by a moral and quiet population, and is
eminently fitted for a classical School.
The Scholastic year consists of 42 weeks, and is
divided into two Sessions. The first commences
the third Monday in January, and continues 24
weeks. The second commences on the third Mon*
day in July, and continues 18 weeks. The first
session will close with a Public Examination.

SOUTHERN CORDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF THE BOWELS,
IS a compound of Southern Vegetables long since
known to the Medical Faculty, as a remedial
agent for the above diseases, but never before so
happily compounded. It stands alone on its own
merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All the Proprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This is the best tastimony, as
thousands who have used it will testify.
For further particulars apply to those who have
used it, and be satisfied that it is not a humbug,
but a good, safe, and very efficacious medicine for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
A liberal deduction made to wholesale dealers,
or Planters.
All Cash orders filled and forwarded forthwith,
by express.
A supply kept constantly on hand.

CANCER CURED.
THE subscriber continues to cure the various
forms of Cancers and Fistulas, without the
knife. Patients frequently stay at home till death
stares them in the face, before they seek relief,
but then nine times out of ten they are beyond
the reach of all remedies. Apply in time and he
will insure a cure in every case. This is no Yan
kee trick to take their money, for in all reasonable
cases he warrants a cure, AND IF NO CURE, NO
PAY.
He has cured quite a number in the last five
years, many of them of several years standing,
and even thought to be hopeless, for which he
could add some very interesting certificates and let
ters, but thinks it useless. Come and see for
yourselves. All applicants must apply In person,
and be prepared to remain a month or two under
his immediate care.
Communications will receive prompt attention.
Address A. L. CLINKSCALES*

He is thankful to the citizens of Macon and sur
rounding country for past favors, and continues
te offer them his professional service in the prac
tice of all the branches of Medicine and Surgery:
He will attend promply all calls left either at his

and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sews a straight
seam.
