IN QUIET DAYS.
BY CARL SPENCER.
The dying year grows strangely mild,
Now, in the hazy autumn weather,
My heart is like a happy child,
And life and I, friends reconciled,
'Go over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still
As waters slipping over sand,
Seeking the shadows, of free will,
To gather tenderer lights than fill
Day’s over lavish hand.
The summer wood with music rings,
The singer’s is a troubled breast;
I am no more a bird that sings,
But that which broods with folded wings
Upon its quiet nest.
O! fairest month of all the year!
O! sweetest days in life ! they melt;
Within, without, is autumn cheer,
•September there, September here,
So tranquil and so sweet.
F *
Oft have I watched all night with grief,
All night with joy, and which is best ?
Ah! both were sharp and both were bijef,
My heart was like a wind-blown leaf, .
I give them both for rest.
Fair, quiet, close Io joy allied,
But loving shadier walks to keep,
By day is ever at my side;
And all night long with me abide
Peace, aud her sister Sleep.
FALLEN MEN.
A writer in the Chicago Tribune has
stirred up the public mind l y discussing
the rather odd problem of “fallen men.”
Society is taken to task for admitting to its
Tanks the unfortunate of the male sex,
while a barrier stronger than adamant is
Opposed to the introduction into that sacred
area of unhappy women, vho have sinned.
This Chicago writer says if there is any
blame a* all in the matter it is with the
ladies themselves, for they constitute and
rule what is known as “society.” Gail
Hamilton says : “If women were as care
ful to select pure, honorable nu n for hus
bands, as men aro to chouse virtuous
women for wives, there would be less
'complaint than now.”
To which the Commentator adds this ter
rible, and, in many respects, truthful ver
dict: “Let women refuse admission to
thoii society men of disreputable character,
with the same degree of feminine aversion
that they manifest towards a fallen woman,
and, presto! society is purified at once.
Let them disregard all claims of wealth or
family position that such men bring, and
simply say, as society does in the case of
the woman, that one blot upon a man de
bars him forever from admission to the
society of the good and pure, and it will
not be long before all complainers will have
no occasion to accuse society of deal ng
unjustly with sinners. I presume that, in
the event of such an experiment, young
ladies might banish from their presence
favored courtiers, and perhaps lx; obliged
to attend theatres with Mamma for an es
cort ; but let us have either a cessation of
this incessant croaking, or an app'(cation
of the right remedy, and less talk about “a
home for fallen men.”
WHY THE SOUTH IS POOR.
The Columbus Enquirer says the South
is poor, not because we have less thrift or
intelligence than othei sections, but because
we do not wisely use our gift*. The profits
of our labor go to enrich Europe mid the
North and West Though our cotton
money amounts annually to hundreds of
millions it must go abroad to pay for al
most everything wo eat and wear. Perhaps
a hundred millions go to Euroj>c. France
and Germany for extravagant dressing aud
fancy goals, twice as much more to the
West to pay for provisions, furniture, etc.
Our agricultural implements are nearly all ;
made abroad. How much g»ws to Cincin- '
nati for whiskey ? How much to Tennes
see and other States for guano, hay, dressed
poultry, pork and Bologna sausage t Why
cannot our farmers raise poultry, and why ,
not our butchers make as gtxxl satis ge as
Tennessee or any other State t Thus in
Ihonaands of ways our profit* are borne
away, and we are left without money,
completely at the mercy of those upon
whom we are dependent. It is time our
people were reflecting seriously upon their
Ymaalage and turning their attention to >

CHAPEL ROOM TALK,
BY J. U. VINCENT.
SCIENTISTS AND THEOLOGIANS.
Synoptizcd for the Advance.
Young Ladies and Gentlemen:
We hear much now-a-days about
the conflict between scientific
truth and religious truth. We
have recently heard more than
one well meaning speaker say
that scientists were laboring to
flood, the world with infidelity.
We have but to take up any relig
ious or respectable journal to find
endless controversies between
the constructors of scientific sys
tems and the constructors of theo
logical systems.
Now, I am here this evening to
inform you there has been, there
is, and there can be no conflict
between scientific and religious
truths. Honest scientists study
the revelations of, God in the
framework of nature: honest
theologians study the revelations
of God in the divine scriptures.
Nature gives us the divine method
of science; the Bible gives us the
divine method of theology. Be
tween these two plans and the
facts evolved from them there is
no clashing. Both have the same
object—God, both read the works
of the same author —God, both
discover the same’ light—God.
The devotees of science seek
the Original Principle, but the
Original Principle is God. The
devotees of theology seek God,
but God is the Original Principle.
Science and revelation teach alike
and always the grand Mosaic story
of creation. Read nature or read
revelation, you find the same
grand incomprehensible lesson
whose giver is God. We may phi
losophize or theologize, in the end
God is the basis and the back
ground—simply the All. He is
God of the universe, not by our
permission, but by His sovereign
ty. He cannot be volatilized out
of it by chemists, nor kept in it
by the labors of theologians.
Every fact discovered by men has
its place in nature’s temple, and
no fact can prove fatal either to
science or religion.
There is, however, controverseis
between the constructors of scien
tific systems and the constructors
of theological systems. But the
contradiction arises from the ig
norance of the constructors. Big
Qted scientists gather a few facts,
and syllogise them, with the
conclusion that they have all the
truths discoverable in their line,
and with them there is no truth,
out of their line. Bigoted theo
logians get into certain channels,
catch a glimpse of the truth, theo
rise upon it, and colligate a sys
tem which, with them, embodies
all truth.
The former anti-theosize the
universe and find a god in an
original principle, or in a sponta
neons generator, or in a primordial
form, or in a self-existing cell;
the latter apotheosize their own
system and find a god in the uni
verse by their own sufferance,
acting by their sufferance, in fact,
a god only by their sufferance.
The former strive to defend their
own system, while both disregard
the divine system. Both ask not,
“Is this true,’’ but “ will it do for
us to admit this is true?” The
scientists say: “This is contrary to
inj theory, therefore it is false.”
The theologians say: “ This is con
trary to the rules of my church,
therefore it is false.” Both are
charlatans self-deified bigots
shut out from light and dead to
truth. Os course their theories
clash.
But it does not follow that there
is a conflict between religious
truth and scientific truth. Honest
I scientists delve in every inch of
1 nature's great temple, dig up the
facts, and announce these facts
without regard to consequences.
They ride no hobby. They love
truth, seek truth, and accept truth
wherever found. They make no
fight with God. They ask for facts,
and accept facts without consider
ing the effect upon pev dogmas
or harmonized creeds or gospels.
These facts they systematise and
their system is science, which
—“grasps with its Transforming hand,
And nuikes real half the tales of fairy laud,
It turns the deathliest fetor to perfume;
If gives decay new life and rosy bloom;
It changes filthy rays to virgin white;
Makes pure in spirit what was foul to sight.’
They transform the deadly earth
into glass. If God is mirrored in
the glass they see Him and accept
Him; if the tomb of church creeds
is mirrored in the glass they glad
ly enter the funeral precession,
for they know from the tomb of
the creeds will spring a grander
building of God’s Truth.
Os all men it least becomes
ministers to charge scientists with
infidelity. It is a historic fact that
scientists are the strongest pillars
of the Christian pulpit. When her
citadels are invaded, scientists
with truth piled upon truth al
ways come to the rescue and con
vertfearful defeatinto triumphant
victory. This pulpit detraction
and alarm is charlatanism so pue
rile and despicable that it brands
its authors as ignorant and besot
ted bigots.
FEEDING ANIMALS.
Farmers who make feeding of
animals an important part of their
business, ought to know that their
unremitting growth is the only
true and successful way of treat
ing them. This is the course which
the most successful pork-raisers
pursue in feeding their hogs reg
ularly through winter and sum
mer, till they are sufficiently fat
in the autumn.
Many intelligent persons are ac
customed to suppose that poor
animals may, ifi a short time, be
changed into fat ones by stuffing
them with rich food. The more
food they can make them take in
a day or a week, the quicker, they
suppose, they will become fat and
fit for market. But this is a false
opinion, as experiments clearly
show. The overfeeding is always
wasteful; for after all the animals
gain but little fat, and the owners
begin to think that the fattening
of them for market is an unprofit
able business.
An owner may withhold the pro
per quantity of food from his hogs
and cattle, and even half starve
them for months, and then may
change his mode of treating them,
and glut them with excessive food,
and thus hope rapidly to put them
in fat condition; but the attempt
will prove abortive, as the growth
of tho animal from the earliest
period of their existence, and their
increasing in fat and flesh, must
continue on without interruption
till they arc marketable. Careful
observations prove that the profits
of raising and fattening cattle
and hogs arc realized only when
they are regularly fed from day
to dav, with neither too scant or
heavy feeding. Some object to
this mode of treating their ani
mals. They wish to finish the fat
tening process in two or three
months, and think it is too expen
sive to continue it for two or three
years. This would be the case if
their way of feeding was the cor
rect on •; but it is not, for heavy
feeding is not requisite to keep up
the continued growing condition
of the animals.
We have in mind an observing
farmer who carefully weighed all
the animals ho was fattening
every week. To a fine steer he
gave daily four quarts of barley
meal, and he found the increase
in its weight to be ten pounds per
week. He then tried the experi
ment of giving eight quarts per
day, and he found the weekly in
crease of weight was less than
when four quarts were given.
Twelve quarts were now given
daily, and at the end of the week
there was no gain of flesh.
These facts teach all persons
who feed domestic animals that
there is such a thing as feeding
their stock so largely or heavily
that the profits will be less than
*f the stock were to receive small
er allowances. When a portion of
the feed passes away without hav
ing been digested, it is a reliable
indication that feed is not con
sumed as profitable as it should be.
A certain lawyer had his por
trait taken in his favorite atti
tude-standing with one hand in
his pocket. His friends and cli
ents all went to see it,and every
body exclaimed, “Oh, how like!
it's the picture of him!” An old
farmer only dissented: “'Taint
like!” Exclaimed everybody:
“Just show us where it 'taint like ”
“'Taint—no 'taint!” responded the
farmer. “Don't you see, he has
got his hand in his own pocket;
’twould be as like again if he had
it in somebody's else.”
Beecher says never forget what
a man has said to you when he
was angry. If he has charged you
with anything you had better
look it up. Anger is a bow that
will shoot sometimes when anoth
er feeling will not.
NORCROSS, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1873.
FARMING IN THE SOUTH.
One of the greatest errors in
Southern farming has been resting
the soil after it w r as worn out, that
it may be recuperated by the slow'
process of the growth and decay
of crop after crop of weeds. Bet
ter rest such land before it is ex
hausted by a crop of peas or of
other green crops ploughed in ;
and save the years it will take to
fertilize the soil by the scanty
growth of Aveeds. The application
of very little farm yard or special
compost manure, with the aid of
the atmosphere, will give a green
crop, and if two such crops are
necessary to bring the land to a
bearing fertility, it still save time
and be more econotnical than to
lose the use of the land for a
much longer period, and then
have to manure it before it will
bring paying crops.— N. C. State
Agricultural Journal.
BEES ON A SMALL SCALE.
There are many householders
whose means will not enable them
to buy a cow' or provide keeping
for her were they in possession of
one. But' they may be equal to
the purchase of a colony of bees
and to provide hives for the
swarms resulting therefrom. Bees,
like other stock,require pasturage,
but, unlike horses, cattle and
sheep, they are free commoners,
ranging at will in search of stores,
nor can they be arrested and
punished for their intrusion upon
premises alien to their owners. A
single colony of bees, in good con
dition in the spring, may be count
ed upon to double or triple their
numbers in a single season, se
curing ample stores for winter
consumption, while suppling a
gratifying surplus each autumn
for household uses. This accumu
lation will prove most acceptable
in families, especially while the
price of butter rules so high as to
place it beyond the/each of those
not blessed with full purses. Try
a colony of bees as an experiment.

GRAPES—THEIR OULTURE.
It is surprising that so many
families in the country are willing
to live for years without cultivat
ing a single grape vine about their
dwellings. They are compelled to
purchase this delicious fruit for
the table, or not taste it during
the season. There is a common
impression that to cultivate grapes
perfectly, a vast amount of knowl
edge and tact is required. To
many the simple trimming of a
vine is a mystery. This is an er
roneous view, and ought not to
prevail. Any person of common
intelligence can learn in an hour
how to trim and nourish vines;
and if instruction cannot be ob
tained from some experienced
cultivator, there are books filled
with cuts and illustrations which
make everything plain. Three
vines, of as many different varie
ties, planted in some sunny nook,
or by the side of some building so
as to obtain shelter, will, if pro
perly cared for, furnish bushels
of delicious grapes every year.
Select’a Concord, a Delaware, and
a Hartford Prolific; make the
ground mellow and rich by the
use of a spade, and by employing
old manure, bones and ashes,
and set out the plants. In three
years the rich clusters will appear,
and in four years the product will
be abundant. It is well to have
vines planted so that, the waste
liquids from the dwellings can be
used in fertilization. If there is
any food the vine especially loves
it is the soapy liquids which ac
cumulate on washing days in fam
ilies. A ines drenched every week
with these liquids will flurish as
tonishingly, and extend them
selves so as to cover large build
ings, every branch bearing fruit.
We say to our readers, plant vines.

THE SIZE AND MODEL OF
THE ARK.
A writ er in the National Gazette
discusses the subject at length,
taking both the Bible account and
that recently discovered in Assy
ria for a basis. He says that reck- :
oning the cubit at eighteen inches,
the ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet
wide and 45 feet deep, and would
register about 15,000 tons if meas
ured as a sailing ship, or about
12,000 tons if measured as a
steamer, by British rules. It was
thus smaller than the Great East
ern. It had three decks, and was
divided into numeious compart
ments by longitudinal and trans
verse bulkheads, for the safety
and order of its occupants. It was
built, of gopher wood, a species of
evergreen timber resembling the
pine in length and strength of
trunk, and the white cedar in
lightness. In model, says the
writer, it was all that a great car
rier could be, chest-like, with lines
straight and angles square, but
the bottom and top were eleptical
in outline, presenting convexity
to the earth and sky. After giv
ing the dimensions and the mode
of construction of the se/eral
parts, this authority tells us, as if
he was equally certain on this
point, that the ark is now in a
good state of preservation, but
lying under an eternal mantel of
snow, hundreds of feet deep, at an
altitude of 17,500 feet above the
level of the sea. Ever since the
flood dried up, the climate of Ar
menia has been colder, and snow
always covers the top of Ararat,
rendering it impossible for any of
Noah’s descendants to go up and
find the ark.
Home Conversation.—Children
hunger perpetually for new ideas.
They will learn with pleasure
from the lips of parents what they
deem drudgery to study in books ;
and even if they have the misfor
tune to be deprived of many edu
cational advantages they will
grow up intelligent if they enjoy
in childhood the privilege of list
ening daily to the conversation of
intelligent people. We some Limes
see parents who are the life of
every company that they enter,
dull, silent and uninteresting at
home among their children. Il
they have not mental activity and
| mental siores sufficient for both,
let them first use what they have
for their own households. A silent
house is a dull place for young
people, a place from which they
will escape if they can. How
much useful information, on the
other hand, is often given in
pleasant family conversation, and
what unconscious, but excellent
mental training in lively social
argument, cultivate to the utmost
all the graces of home coversatlon.
Take Heed. —We take the fol
lowing from the Rural Southern
er : “No matter how intimate you
are with the friend with whom
you have business transactions—
put your agreements in writing.
How many misunderstandings
arise from the loose ways in which
business matters are talked over,
and when each party puts his own
construction, the matter is dis
missed by each party with the
word', “All right; all right.”
Erequenily it turns out all wrong,
and becomes a question tor the
lawyer and the courts. More than
three-fourths of litigation of the
country would be s?ved if the
people would put down their
agreements in writing and sign
their names to it. Each word in
our language has its peculiar
meaning, and memory may by the
change in a sentence, convey an
entirely different idea from that
intended. When once reduced to
writing ideas are fixed, and ex
pensive lawsuits are avoided.”
Life consists of a series of illus
trious actions or elegant enjoy
ments. The greater part of our
time passes in compliance with
neces ilies, in periormance of
daily duties, in the removal of
small inconveniences, in the pro
curement of petty pleasures; and
we are well or ill at ease, as the
main stream of life glides on
smoothly, or is ruffled by small
obstacles and frequent interruj -
tion.— Johnson.
Harry, we do not know how
many Sundays after your marriage
it will be necessary to lock arms
with your wife to and from church:

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers especially, and of
our country aud race generally.
To do that we promise to give thorn each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; the
Legal Sales of Gwinnett and a few other
counties,etc., and such Literary,Scientific,
Educational, Political, Agricultural and
Religious reading matter as we may from
time to time think most interesting and
profitable.
Tn Politics the ADVANCE will be
j independent ; but it will not !•<• partisan,
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, knowingly. And, as we hon
estly believe, that the first and chief care
of ail Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan—
his hosts and tneir arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best we can, under
the guidance of Him w ho is able to direct
and keep us in the way of truth.
W r e will also studiously avoid giving
cause of oftense to any professed Christian
.on account of difierence of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one of
them.
OUR RELIGIOUS PLATFORM.
We believe that there is a per
sonal God—who created and over
rules all things—that Jesus Christ
is His Son and our Savior, and that
the Holy Ghost is His messenger
and our instructor.
That the Bible was written by
inspiration of God—is true—and
the only safe foundation for
Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is immortal—that
there will be a resurrection of the
dead and final judgment, and that
the punishment of the unre
deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in these fundamental propo
sitions,and seek salvation through
Christ, constitute his Church, and
should all unite and co-operate
with Him, and each other, in the
sacred work of redemption, as an
affectionate family of brothers
and sisters.
