AT IHE GARDEN GATE.
Somebody came to the garden gate,
While a soft hand trimmed the flowers;
And a blackbird piped to his listening mate,
In a language as rich as ours.
Somebody blushed at the garden gate™
A blush it was fair to see;
And the sly sun peered as he fain would
wait,
And the blackbird paused on the tree.
Somebody spoke at the garden gate,
As the shadows began to fall;
And the rose looked up, thong-h the hour
was late,
And the peach blushed pink on the wall.
A sweet head fell at the garden gate,
On an arm that was strong and true;
And a chirrup of lips was heard to state
What words refused to dVr.
REASONING DOVES.
Hon. John C. Park, of Boston, tells the
following in a note to the Christian Union:
“A friend had given me six pairs of beau
tiful Calcutta doves, all pure white. I was
anxious to increase my flock, and placing
them in a commodious dove-cote, with a
row of pigeon holes about four feet from
the floor, awaited the result. Soon two
pairs deposited eggs, and hatched each two
squads in nests about five holes apart v One
afternoon I found that a little one had
fallen out and was killed. The next morn
ing in looking from my chamber window I
observed doves carrying up in their beaks
material for a new nest; but, seeeing the
unusual size of the twigs selected. I went
out to see how things progressed. To my
astonishment I found' that the doves, which
had their two squabs both safe in their
nests, had erected, during the morning
hours, a harrier of twigs about an inch and
a half high along the front of their pigeon
hole, thus guarding against the catastrophe
which had happened to their neighbors.
Was not this the result of a progress of
’ reasoning! Would all reasoning human
beings be as wise ? ”
HIN. 8 ABOUT WORK.
Modern farming demands energetic work.
We cannot pbxl along in the old beaten i
track. We must have our wits about us;
all o r faculties must be bright and active.
We must work hard; but our work need
not be for any great length of time of the
back-breaking, muscle-straining order. This
kind of work should not be left to those
who cannot do anything better.
A farmer should study himself. He
should knew his own strength. He cannot
do but a certain amount of work, and
should be very careful not to waste his
power.
The coming farmer will require more
sleep and bet'er food than some of the Old
School philosophers recommended. He will
use more coffee and less tobacco and
whiskey.
Energy is what a farmer needs. He must
put more force, spirit, pluck and life into
his work. He must be wide awake, and
wake, up those who work for him.
Ixx>k ahead. Let the work of to-day be
well and promptly done; but at the same
time, lay plans for to-morrow. Harvest
the ci ops now on the ground, but make
such preparations as will insure better crops
next year.
Winter wheat needs better culture. We
must make the land better and richer,
cleaner and mellower.—American Agricul
turist.
FASHIONS AND FOLLIES.
In this enlightened “nineteenth century”
fashions have assmedly become follies, and
pride and petty vanities usurp the good,
old-fashioned friendly sociability of by-gone
days Pop calls of five minutes, and a
stiff interchange of words or affected volu
bility, have taken the place of social, happy
evenings and quiet gatherings around the
tea table, where conversation, pleasant,
merry and unaffected, made the unceremo
nious visit a delight. Neat, pretty and
becoming dresses have been cast aside, and
in their stead are costly robes, furbelowed
and befrilled, containing twenty-five or
more yards of material. Hair, hitherto ar
ranged in smooth folds and classic bands,
is now tortured and twisted into fiendish
shapes, and mingled with all sorts of ar
ticles; huge bustles deform figures that
once looked graceful; and the tall, waving
hats and bonnets, with gew-gaws and nod
ding plumes, would startle the old grand
mothers could they mingle with the crowds
of to-day. There is p ide it home and
abroad, and even in the house of God, where
simple and appropriate apparel should
surely be worn. But, alas, along the solemn
and sacred aisles sweep long trained dresses
of costly f .brica, jewels flash in the “ dim
and holy light, ” and haughty faces and
cold looks often frighten the poor away
from the place wb re all should worship
God in humility and love.
We are not inditing this for the fair sex |
alone, fur men have their vanities and '
follies, too, but we cannot refrain ftom I
giving a word or two of wholesome advice i
t.» the dear you g girls. Leave off ane or '
two of those flounces, deny yourself that '
expensive lace, buy fewer gloves, ribbons, t
bon-bons and nonsense, and with the money '
saved, help some poor widow to pay her
rents and buy wood for the winter; help
suffering and distneacd Memphis and the |
afflicted town* along Red river, and with a
spare do'lar or so buy enough calico to i
make a half dozen large aprons, don them
for a time each day and go into the kitchen i
to assist mother or the cook. Learn all you j
can about boua keeping, about bcantyfying ■
and arranging rooms, and in all thing*
strive to be true-hearted women. All girls !
cannot marry rich men—a few may; hut i
the generality of *oraen will mate with f
young men ol small salaries— men who !
need wives knowing something of industry
and economy; and remember, girls, that
the pa lit of woman is usually thorny, i
Many hard trials are in f w the wife
ami mother, ami every woman sho-’kl stu.ly
to iuetcas? her usefulness, strengthen b<r I
constitution, and cultivate assiduously every

Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one of
the leading eeucators of the State, and
the High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions,
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air, good water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
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. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
ar and experienced teacher.

G WINNETT LANDS
FOR SALE.
The undersigned offers for sale the fol
lowing lands, all lying near Lawrenceville
in said county, to-’wit:
Lots Nos. 140, Hi and part of 148. This
tract contains between 500 and 600 acres
of level, gray laud, 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 (trove ot 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 of
No. 178,lying 1 and a fourth miles frorti 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
ou the same road. This is all in the woods
except a pine old field in one corner, and j
lies well. This and the last above men- '
tinned would together make a valuable '
sett’ement.
Also 250 acres No. 207, known as the
•Hi lliugsworth place.” two miles from
the murt-house. on the Jefferson road.—
This has been a number one farm and
wel improved. The houses and fences
are tow all in a dilapidated state—but the
land is ail right—strong, level red land
ano washed but slightly. A little labor
ana money well applied would make this '
a very valuable farm, and beautiful resi- ;
dence.
Also 117 acres of No. 147 all under fence >
and w ood land except about 20 acres.— !
This tract lies on the South side of Law- }
reneeville. and is partly within the cer
tiorate limits.
Also of lot No. ITS. This is inside i
of the eonioration, and joins lands of Wm.
J. Bc.-n, Col. N. L. Hutchins and others. !
At y of the above lands will be divided
and sold in small tracts if desired bv pur- :
chaser*.
Tkkm.*:-One-fourth cash and the bal
ance on a credit of two, three and four \
years, with interest at ten per eent or all
cash if purchasers so prefer.

Pizs, Tape, and other Worms, lurking
in the system of so many thousands, are effectually
destroyed at-d removed. Says a distinguished phy
siologist: 1 here is scarcely an individual upon the
face of ths earth whose body is exempt from th*
presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy ele
ments of the body that worm* exist, but ujion the
diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these
living monsters of disease. No system of Medi
cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will het the
system from worms like these Bitters.

no cathartic for the purpose equal to Da. J Wai
