The Norcross Advance. FRIDAY, JULY HTH. 1873. , How. JAS. P. SIMMONS, > Associate ’ Prof. JAS. U. VINCENT. ( Editors. ] J. L. HOLLIFIELD, Prop’r and Publisher I WHAT BECOMES OF BRIGHT BOYS? To men who -watch the ingress and.ca ieef of men into and through the arena of life, the answer to this question is perplex ing. 'i'he boyff tAat exhibit the highest talents are often found in the back-ground of life’s warfare, while those who give no promise of future triumphs make the men who- move the world. 'J he majority of ftieh who to-day -walk the city pavement and crowd public thoroughfares seeking employment, are those who, when boys, carried off the palm at school. In physics we have the axiom: Nothing is stronger than its weakest part. The ap plication of this law to men’s mental con stitution suggests the key to the inquiry. Like the ferry man’s rope, men’s minds are no stronger than their weakest points. A flaw in the rope measures its strength; deficiencies in the mind measures its effi ciency. An ill-balanced judgment, or an incapacity to persevere or an excessive eaatktn, or a too sanguine temperament, often paralyzes the most splendia faculties. One defective element in the mental organ ization, like one defective block in a su perb monument, often brings the whole to ruin. If we would strengthen the chain, we must mend its broken link; if we would obliterate from society half made up men and women we must remove or transform, or subvert their defective mental elements. It is the highest duty of Education to es tablish an equilibrium of mental forces. Curriculums have done much to render men almonnal, to develop some faculties and dwarf others. Egotistic teachers neu tralize pupils’ originality, becloud their judgments that they may reproduce an Ego. We teach science, but without a scientific method. We impait facts, but without regard to the personal elements of the re cipients. We cram into their minds mass es of learning.regardless of their digestive capacities. And yet the highest mission of Education is to harmonize al! functions, strengthening the weak and repressing the predominant. Under our present system the bright boys have their strong faculties strengthened at the neglect of their weaker; our boys for whom we mould no horoscope and who give no great promise are left to the om nipotence of self-reliance. Under our pres ent system, we shall always see melan choly failures, see boj s of acknowledged talents forced by some defective mental faculty to Inferior positions. Juv. THE NEW POSTAL LAW.—ITS EF FECT UPON THE EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY. Economy in public expenditures is very desirable. The honest, toiling masses wel come acts of retrenchment on the part of their public servants. But is the late Con gressional act in regard to the postal laws an act of retrenchment? While it annihilates the much perverted franking privilege, it at the same time sends a poisonous fang to the heart of the grandest earthly power for the civilization, education, christianizing and amelioration of a benighted world. It seems strange (?) that a Congress that has ostensibly clam ored for the universal diffusion of know! edge should, for a pitiable revenue, throw a veil over the most powerful light on earth. 1 We refer, of course, to the newspapers. Upon these the destiny of this country is susjnmdcd, and by these alone can the re - sources of this nation, in wealth and terri tory, in power and learning, in truth and religion, in useful arts and inventions, in industry and enterprise, in every thing that tends to enlighten the whole people every where, be wrought out. Shut out the light now sluxl by the Rewspspere ami the world wiM relapse into comparative semi-barb.u > - isnt. Books and schools, colleges and universities do much for the enlightenment of our nation, but without newspsqura mental stagnation would reign to an tnor , mous extent. Schools and collegefl edu cate a few; the newsjtapers enlighten every texly. ’Tis true all men do not road pa pers, but so many in every community do read them that the people art upon and in accordance with the ideas so universally disseminated by them. The shortest and surest road to the thorough enlightenment of our whole people is to l»e found in the free trenstnisskm of the be.tl vehicles of thought thoroughly progressive thought. The freer the transmission and Ute cheaper the literature, the more numerous become the readers, and hence more enlightened becomes the nation. Juv. We learn from the Atlanta Herald this morning, that Hon. John Er raid, Forsyths poetic memte-r of the legislature of olden and better days, came near drowning in a Bttle Stream near Ponce de Leon Spring on yesterday.

We gave our readers, last week, the his- ’ tory and and purposes of the Patrons of 1 Husbandry as written by a friend. We j now give below an article by an opponent : of the order. Tiiis we do that our readers may see both sides of the picture, and be thereby the better enabled to form correct views, of the new coiner, for themselves. Foi myself I have certain fixed rules by which to judge of such things and must know the facts before I can apply them. If this new order has for its object noth ing more than its friends now claim for it —a desire to promote the genera l interests of the agriculturists of the country, in a legitimate way, lam with them. But if it is the aim of the leaders to form a secret political party to control elections and di rect our legislation, then I am against them. Let us watch and wait developments It is sometimes best to “make haste slow ly.” . J.P.S. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. Editor Southern Cri.TtvATOE.—I con cede the right to every man to be hum bugged as it suits him ; but Ido not con cede any man the right to hutpbug others, even though he docs it innocently. Os all the humbugs which have appeared since the days of Know Nothingism this of the Patrons of Husbandry is the boldest and meet shallow. Ostensibly its object is a farmer’s union, through which the world is to lie regulated : railroads made to run at cost, merchants to sell goods without profit; whilst the farmer, the lord of the soil, will get advanced prices for his wheat, com and meat. In fact, the- great laws of supply and demand, and the power of capi tal will be set aside, by these people who go about organizing Granges. Wil! you be kind enough to tell me what number of farrws.or planters are able to give orders for goods, say in this month of .June, and send forward the cash necessary to pay on delivery ? You will answer that you know of irnne, but that the g-ods of the merchant, are almost invariably bought on credit, sold to persons upon the vaguest and most shadowy security: and that the farmer can no more do without the mer chant than he can without his laborers— that they are, iu facq mutual aidsand sup ports the one to the other-complements. “But,’’ will answer one of these Grange organizers—those chaps who are looking out for “Number one”—“all the country is not impoverished like the South ; the rich North-West is able to make a fight against the monopolists. ” Indeed ! I as sert to the contrary, and I know’ whereof 1 affirm ; I say that the tillers of the soil in the t-'outh arc to-day the most independ ent of all their fellows in America. They are the only farmers in America who get out of debt once a year ami have a balance of cash of their own ; which balance, how . ever, is never sufficient to last till June.— And why not? You hit the answer when • you advised more economy and thrift. . The heiuhjuiuters of this order is Wash ington, the same spot were Oakes Anies the sainted Oakes—put out certain shares. ! of stock in the Credit Mobdkr to do the i most good. Now it fa-curs to mo some . body probably gets paid for going about “organizing."

Printers must . be paid, and patriots must have bread and butter too. It comes from a dirty hoi'.'- Viewed from a phiioftophlcal stand-point this war bctwi-cn the farmers of the North i west, and the railroad corporations is an exceedingly interesting problem. Prior to the railroad era the great prairies of the Northwest were, as value! as the d< serfs s of Africa; they produced only sriicles of • small money value, as compared with . weight and bulk hence, the transportation I by the ordinary romls and teams was out of tlib question, hi winter, stock will ' freeze to death, and starve, too, if not I housed and fed for months. But the rail road appears and offers tmnspo<tation for t wheat and coni, and, at first, whilst tin distance to water transportation is short, at. prices renumerative to producer and carrier. All Eurojie is lid to come umi I help epen this great mine of corn; the Eastern States send Uionsands, and they , prosper to a moderate extent—not extraor dinary— not like the South did when she luwl controllable labor. It was toon found that the peculiar system bn t ip towns, the - profhirte were heavy and bulky, and con sequently prop'rlionate to their value, re quired vast armies of non-pro<hirers to • handle tin m on tail way tratp, to and i from wftnlioufles, &c., ami also mpiiied ■ immiwe stores. Thus Uhleago sprung up I and St. Louis thrives; and to the snm< cause San Francbco owes her present growth. Until she became a wheat port - she had a population less than 40,000. In J a d >z< n years, with her other im< n st* <le clining, she hue ipimliupled her population. So the W eat became great, 1 say.

Memphis, Tenn, June 5, 1873. 0 AND STILL ANOTHER LEAGUE. C h We clip the follow ng from the Gaines ville Eagle of the 4th. Honest, law-abid- r , ing people, who seek and desire no unfair advantag' sliould watch closely all such movements: THE “LEAGUE OF JUSTICE.” J' Following swift upon the information of the wonder Ink growth and development of j the Farmers’ Granges in the West, North- ;i west, and in the South, says the Savan nah News, come bints of another ■ organ!- 0 zation known as the “League of Justice.” j It is a secret society, and is entirely dis- j, tinct from the order of Patrons of Hus- y bandry, but is similar to the latter in that .. it is the result of monopolies, railroad 1 bonds and land grants. The-primary ob- j, ject of this League is represented to be the a repudiation of the railroad bonds issued a by various count}', town, and municipal j governments throughout the Northwestern t States, and the seizure and common di- t vision of lands that have been granted away t to corporations by the United States Con gress. The chaiiicter of the League, is £ revolutionary, and its purpose is not mere- a ly to prevent bond-swindlers, feidsteal, r and the growth of monopoly in the future, ' but to overthrow f hosc of the past. The t League -is said to be established in Kansas, c Nebraska, lowa, and Missouri, and is ma y king headway in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, c and Ohio. It is represented as being more t “Masonic” in character than the Granges, j and the organization is divided into lodges r under a central control. Amemb rshipof 260,000 is claimed in the various States.-- j Men alone are admitted between the ages A of 21 and 50 years. “We have arms,” g says one of the members ; “we will have «. justice, peaceably if wc can, but we will a have it by force of arms if wc must.” Re- r felting to the local railroad-bonds and land t grants, another member remarked, to a St. A Louis newspaper reporter ; -j “The League will make ht>t work for s the thieving scoundrels yet. You mark , my words. The railroad companies that ( have had grants made bv Congress will r never get one dollars after the next year for the lands, nor will any man have a title from them. They slihll not have it. The laud belonged to the people, and they did not send men to Con p-ess to deed away their inheritance to make a few men rich. , That is not to be thought of. We have 10,000 men in Kansas who are sworn to 1 prevent it or die, and they mean business.” ’ 4 ~ 1 COW FOOD. . Now is the time to lay up winter food ‘or cattle. Take your wheat straw and pack it away with salt and you will find it . as fodder, for cows, mules or, . horses in the winter. * . The best way is to put down in dry pens ( for cowfl, where they can have free access ; to it. Spread the straw about two feet deep, while loose, over the pen; then sow tlic salt over it; pacl?'down and continue one layer after another of straw, salted in that way till the pen is full. Use about as much, salt as you think your cows will want while the straw lapts them. With dry shelter and plenty oF water j our stock cattle will keep fat in that way all winter without other food. Should the wet season c? t;tin e a little longer, the. wheat fields, if not pastured, (and they never should be) will afford crab grass in great abundance this year. Get what is called a ‘bush scythe,’ and cut your crab grass when in full bloom ; dry and put away carefully, and yon will have cow food enough and to spare for next winter. Rcmemb r all hay crops should be cut when in bloom. If allowed to mature seed the straw and blades are worth but little. J. P. 8. RELIGIOUS. “WUATIS THEO VUSE” Under the above head Timothy, a late correspondent of the Chris tian Index from Cnthhert, Ga., gives a very discouraging account of the present condition of the town churches in Southwest. Geor gia. He says: ‘‘The larger portion of the town churches have the best educated ministers that our. theological institutions afford,and they sre sound in doctrine and appear to be men of piety, The churches keeptip regular pray er meetings Ttml Sabbath schools. •They have a choir and organ, and generally have good music. The houses of worship are comforta ble, Some of the churches are liberal in the support of their pas tors, and to benevolent objects generally. And notwithstanding all these good things, there is a } gradual decline in godlinesr and l numbers. * * * “We do not see or hear of such < success now attending the preach- ’ ed word as with our fathers, some : thirty or forty years ago.” That a church having a comAvrt al de house, a good preacher, well I paid, regular prayer meet ings and 1 Sabbath Schools, and a choir and ’ organ also, and generally have good music, should not grow and i ■ prosper is astounding to Brother! < “Timothy.” It was not so, “with ■ 1 ; our fathers thirty or forty years , ago.” Why was it not so then? j Goback. my Brother, to that pc- 1 riod and carefully compare and’ s cont rast the way things were done 1 | then with our modern way of ‘ ’ serving the Lord. By that means ; i you may find a clue to the cause, i ; without being told. If you will < ’ then visit some of die many pros- * I pcrous conntry churches in your 1 ’ section and see how they pray , i and praise and trust in God, you i may find more perfectly vherv ;l the trouble lies with your town i ‘ churches. || 1 Hstendvd whoa I took up my ' § ___C._ n• 7 I lencil to tell, rigkt square out, A’hat the matter was—but — ''''Old Fogy!

THE PHILOSOUHER AND THE BI BLE. Jean de Muller, a learned Swiss writer, was deep'y engaged in historical studies at Cassel, in the year 1782. Indefatigable in research, he xvrote to his friend, Charles Bonnet, yiat be had studied all the ancient authors, without one exception, in the order of time in which they lived, and had not omitted to fake note of a single remarkable fact. Among other works, it occurred to him to glance at the New Testament, and we give in his own words the impression produced upon him : “How shall I express what I have found here ? I had not read it for many years, and when I began it I was prejudiced against it. The light which blinded St. Paul, in his journey to Damages?,- was not more prodigious or more surprising tfJ him then what I suddenly discovered was to me the accomplishment of every hope, the perfection of all philosophy, the explana tion of all revolutions, the key of all the apparent contradictions of the material and moral world, of life and immortality. I see the most astonishing things effected by the smallest means. I see the connection of all the revolutions in Europe and Asia, with that suffering people to whom were committed the promises, as one likes to en trust a manvicript to tnose who, not know ing how to write, can not falsify it. I see religion appearing at the moment most fa vorable to its establishment, and in the way least likely to promote its reception ; the world appearing to have been arranged solely with reference to the religion of the Savior. I can understand nothing if such a religion be no t from God. 1 have not read anv books about it, but in studying all that happened before this epoch, I have al ways found something wanting, and, since I have known our Lord, all is clear to my sight; with Him there is no problem I can not solve. Forgive me for thus praising the sun, as a blind man who had suddenly received the (rift of sip-ht.—lndex. WHO IS THE GREATEST. Shortly after the Transfigura tion of Jesus upon the Mount, where only three of the apostles were invited, the spirit of jealousy seems to have arisen anfong the twelve chosen ones as to who should have the precedence.— ‘•Jesus called a little child unto and set him in the midst of them, and said, “Verily I say un to you, except ye be converted as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom oT heaven. Whosoever, therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Nor was this narrative written in the eighteenth chapter of the gospel by Matthew intended for the twelve alone. For human nature is pretl v much the same, in every age ami in all the world. And Vie defects, so painfully visible in the lives of the Apostles, are just as sad. if they are often less tl*e livespf modern dis ciples. One of the first pings of lfee wicked heart is am fiitionjn some of ii- protean forms Al ter conversion, even, there is no passion in the human heart more sly and strong. Strange it seems that in so small a band as that of the twelve the struggle for leadership should so soon bo seen. But tliero was a deal of human nature in them, and it is probable that, even in this small 3 unpany thtl’S sboilt 2. duZ en men, each of whom folt him self “unappreciated” by the oth ers or even by the Mister, not withstanding his “peculiar fitness for the place!” If we read the lives of these Apostles in the light of human nature, as it still exists, we shall feel ourselves not a little rebuked, as their weak ness reveals ours. Notwithstand ing Jesus stands right at the door of the ner,»life, with the severest rebuke for ambition, and the most humble lesson in discipleship, yet how soon the remains of “the old man” stir with the spirit of pride aud self-seeking, and the lesson of humility is forgottten ? Among the leaders in every party conference, nation or de nomination, we have illustrations of human weakness, human folly, the out croppings of hateful am bition. Bride is the evil spirit which destroys the peace of so manv churches, which saps the strength of many a strong nation and nev er quits him only as the demons left one anciently, “torn.” ISatan like, tlierc are still ambitious souls iS politics, in armies, in business in society, more ready i to rule in hell than serve in heav en.” But the worst sphere for self seeking to manifest itself in its religion. Whenever truth is to be crucified there is always first a betrayal by some Judas. — None sink so low as those who have first been lifted high. Wit ness Lucifer! “Pride goeth be j fore destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fa!! How unlovely, nay, vile,app ar' most strivings for leadership’— Carnal ambition, whether seen in the pulpit, or chair of science, or ■ office of trust, or editorial “sanc tum;" or conference, or study, nothing seems more contcmtible! Have you met this self seeking spirit in the prayer meeting, ready to testify in the manner of that older hypoeiit*, "Lord, I thank thee that lam not as other men are,” or even at the Sacred Feast I with saintly air reject far more j Christly spirits with, “Stand thouj there, tor am 1 not more holv than J thou Have von never seen that evil j spirit, which Jesus rebuked, seek ing to be the hero, the leader of I a sect, the chief idol among many | little gods and men t Who ha not? Strongmen sometimes are seized with this “deuomiacal pos- j session," and forthwith their gio- ! ry departs, tbeucc/orth they arc sheng only fpi evil, Oftcnor it is some “weak brother’” whom »Sat an :nllales with foolish pride. I’ride is a great v/eakness in any nature. If any have the at tributes of genuine great ness, God and the church wiU not long tar- j ry in placing in their hands the sceptre as a typo of their authori tv, the true crown which al! king ly souls wear in humility. Da vid was’a shepard boy. “He that ! humbleth himself shall be exal ted Moses was the meekest of men. Divine ’ meekness once wore “a crown of thorns,” but is now “crowded Lord of all.” Re member it is James, whom Jesus honored with a vision of the transfiguration glory, who says, “My brethren, be not many mas- ' ters, knowing that we shall re ceive the greater condemna tion.’ ’ —7? Union. MISCELLANEA. The oldest foreign Missionary now living in active service, is the Rev. John Ross, of the Free Church of Scotland, whose geld is in South Africa. He completes the fiftieth year of his work the present month, and in the cele bration of the event, the Scotch Foreign Mission Board have re solved to send to him $2,500 to enable his native congregation to build a new house of worship.— He has been a most laborious and successful missionary- The Australasian Wesleyan Conference held its session in the Centenary Wesleyan Church, at Sidney, and was a season of great interest. The Governor informed the Conference that an imgerial act was in preparation for the suppression of the labor traffic. Rev. Isaac Katon was received as an assistant missionary, and six Polsncsians wore received as native assistant missionaries. James Ah Ling was also received' as a Chinese missionary. Meth odism in Australia is advancing rapidly. We meed to give as much as others need to get. The Arabs have a proverb “The water you pour on the roots of the cocoannt comes back to you, sweetened and enriched, in the milk from the top,” and every libation we pour upon the roots of Christi? n enterprise we receive into our own mouth again, in the sweet draughts of peftonal growth. If we find little blessing in giving it is perhaps because we give so lit tle, or exercise, in giving, so little self-denial. - The Catholic Review says th: t Bishop Vaughan’s mission to the negroes of the South is prospering and that at the College of St. Jo seph, in England, twenty-three students are pieparing for * it, six of whom are Americans, five English, six Irish, three Germans, two Hollanders, and one Belgian. These nil “biHd__llxemse]¥es to ► iuj’and’obedionce to eclosi "Slicnl superiors,” as usual ; but in addition, “bind themselves for life to the negro mission, as fath e s and servants of the blacks.” file article closes by saying “many prayers are offered” for them.
