DO AS NEAR RIGHT AS YOU CAN. The world stretches widely before you, A field for your muscle aud bi ain; And though clouds may often float o’er you, And often come tempest and rain, Be fearless of storms which o’ertake you— Push forward through all like a man— Good fortune will never forsake you, If you do as near right as you can. liemember the will to do rightly, If used, will the evil confound; Live daily by conscience, that nightly Uour sleep may be peaceful aud sound. In contests of right never waver— Let honesty shape every plan, Awl life will of Paradise savor, If you do as near right as you can. 1 hough foes’ darkest scandal may speed, And strive with their shrewdest of tact To injure your fame, never heed, But justly and honestly act; And ask of the Ruler of Heaven To save your fair name as a man, And all that you ask will be given, If you do as near right as you c n. MAXIMS TO GUIDE YOUNG MEN. Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your bands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind Always speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Have no very intimate friends. Keep your own secrets if you have any. When you speak to a person look him in the face. Good company and good conversa ion are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is a' ove all things. Never listen to loose infidel conversation. You had better be poisoned in your blood than in yot.r principles. Your character cannot be essentially in jured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be so virtuous that no one will believe him. Always spc.k and act as in the presence of God. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquor. Ever live, misfortunes excepted, within your income. Never speak light of religion. Make no baste to be rich if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give com petency with tranquility of mind. Avoid temptation, through fear that you may not withstand it. Never borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you are a4e to sup port a wife. DRESSING WITH PLAINNESS. 1. It would lessen the burden of many who find it hard to maintain tneir place in society. 2. It would lessen the force of the temp tations which often lead men to baiter honesty and honor for display. 3. If there was less strife in dress at church, people in moderate circumstances would be more inclined to attend. 4. Universal moderation in dress at church would improve the worship by the removal of many wandering thoughts. 5. It would enable ull classes of people to attend church better in unfavorable weather. fl. It would lessen, on the part of the rich, the temptation to vanity. 7. It would lessen, on the part o f the poor, the temptation to be envious and ma licious. 8. It would save valuable time on the Sabbath. 9. It would relieve our means from a serious pressure, and thus enable us to do more for good enterprises. One drop of poison from the breath of scandal, against the reputation of a woman, takes deadly effect in the social atmosphere. She may nurse the sick, attend the Hants of the p«»or, and pour every aspiration of her soul a willing sacrifice upon the altar of matrimonial duty, yet the blot remains. She may be charitable, long suffering, per severing, and patient under injustice. She may be a ray of sunshine in her household, and the herald of happiness in all associa tions, still the poison remains for thought less dames, aud ungenerous, thoughtless men to shrug their shoulders and look wild over. A negro once said hi a prayer-mcctine : “Brcdren, when I was a boy, I took a hatchet and went into the woods. When 1 found a tree dat was straight and big, and solid, I didn’t touch dat tree; but wieu 1 found one leaning a little, aud holler inside, 1 soon hail him down. So when de deubil goes after thr Ist ions, he don't touch dem 1 dat st nd straight and true, but dem dat lean a little, and are holler inside.” A Hartford gentleman who had tarried ' late at a wine supper, found his wife wait- I ing his return, in a high state of nervous ness. t»aid she: “Here I’ve been waiting, I Uiid rocking in the chair, till my head spins I round like a top!” “Jess so, wife, where I’ve been,” reapouded he; “it’s Lu the atmosphere! ” A correspondent recently asked the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher if he approved of wives spending their time at watering' places, and leaving their busbands to the : mercy of servant girls, and received this ! characteristic reply: “No woman who values hvr domestic happinesa as she should will leave her husband Ums unpr reeled. ” j “ Wis saida man looking for his bool- ’ jack, “ 1 have a place where 1 keep my ; thinga, and you ought to know it." “Yes, I ought to know where you keep yvur late hour*, but 1 don’t. ” Our w h 4c life is a startling moral There ia never an instant's trwe between virtue and vice.

There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and in order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.

The undersigned oilers for sale the fol lowing lands, all lying near Lawrenceville in said county, to-wit: Lots Nos. 140, 141 and part of 148. This tract contains between 500 and 600 acres of level, gray land, well adapted to the cultivation of cotton or grain. On this place there is a framed dwelling-house, with four rooms, a good well of water and a beautiful (prove of forest trees in the yard; one mile from the court-house on the Covington road; near forty .five acres of fresh land in cultivation, and a young orchard of well-selected fruit; the bal ance all in the woods. The whole tract is well watered and contains a large amount of branch bottom land. Also a hundred and twenty five acres oi No. 178,lying 1 and a fourth miles from the court-house, on the Jefferson load. About half of this was, when fresh first-class level, red land, and well watered, and can now be made one of the best grain and hay farms in the country, within a short time and at comparatively little expense. There is a dwelling-house, with six rooms on the place, and a magnificent spring of water near by. Also 130 acres of No. 211, adjoining lands of J. M. Ambrose and others, two and a quarter miles from the Court-house on the same road. This is ail in the woods except a pine old field in one corner, and lies well. This and the last above men tioned would together make a valuable settlement. Also 250 acres No. 207, known as the ■Hollingsworth place,” two miles from the court-house, on the Jefferson road.— This has been a number one farm and well improved. The houses and fences are now all in a dilapidated state—but the land is all right—strong, level red land and waihed but slightly. A little labor and money well applied would make this a very valuable farm, and beautiful resi dence. Also 117 acres of No. 147 all under fence and wood land except about 20 acres.— This tract lies on the South f>ide of Law renceville, and is partly within the cor porate limits. Also of lot No. 175. This is inside of the corporation, and joins lands of AVm. J. Born, Col. N. L. Hutchins and others. Any of the above lauds will be divided and sold in small tracts if desired by pur chasers. Terms:—One-fourth cash and the bal ance on a credit of two, three and four years, with interest at ten per cent, or all cash if purchasers so prefer. If not diajiosed of sooner, the above lands will ail be sold at auction on the Ist Tuesday in November next. Address JAMES P. SIMM!
