COVINGTON, GEORGIA, MARCH 2 1, 1878.
How to builtl n Chnroeter.
Clorko, in liis Workday Christianity,
says, a man building a character, must
break bond, ns a bricklayer. His thoughts
purposes, and aetions, mtuf interlap and
interlock, t ross over eacli other, and be
sod dby brotlierlvlove. lie must buiM
in much for strength, and little for show.
Comparatively few bricks go into the
streetsside wall of a bouse. Tim materi
als that compose the rear walls, gables
and cross partitions must be as firmly
burnt rnd carefully laid in as the sten
cilled rows that face the thoroughfare?.—
So a, man must make himself strong, not
merely in a single trait or truth, but
build Ids character through and through
by plumb and level. He must square
himself up heavenward, bv well adjust
ed proportions of reading, business, med
itation, and. religion. His works must
measure up even against his words. lie
must provide windows for illumination
and doors for his guests. Some men
are ludlt like jails, They are blind walls
and gloom all the way up ; their eyes
nre crossharrc’d with forbidding frowns.
If there are emotions within they are
prisoners. Not a solitary tear can es«
cape the sentinels.
A native Japanese merchant named
Yamashinya, a resident in Yokohama,
hut with business houses >n Jeddo, Osaka
nnd Nagasaki, committed suicide a short
time since, lie was indebted to the
Gove nment for a sum of ,£200,000 by
non-payment of duties and other finan~
citd defaults. Officers were ser.t to ar
rest him, but, knowing bis fate as a dis
honest trader, he anticipated the action
r f the law by making out a statement of
his liabilities and future in'entions, which
he personally left at tl-e War office, and
then returned to his house and aisems
boweled himself. Hardly was he dead
when the offie, rs, sent in haste by the de
partment, arrived to seize him, but,
balked ; n their 01-j- et, took his keys and
b mks, and placed guards in possession
of his property. The Japanese Gazette,
which records the case, a ids very naively;
“We hear other instances of self-de
struction rumored.” This is redly a
a l wribl - t ile of the result of twinges of
conscience. It is to be hoped that
neither the failing nor its remedy will
e\tei 1 in or to our Christian land.—
What would the Coroners do : n the mat
ter of fragmentary evidence ? Shock
ing, even, to think of it.
An exchange gives the following defi
nition of an editor: “An editor is a man
who lives on what other men owe liitr.,
until he starves (o death.. A subscriber
is a person who takes a paper and says
he is very much pleased with it, and he
tells everybody else that lie ought to
“subscribe ” After he had “subscribed 1 *
about seven years, the editor writes to
him ami asks him to let him have $2,50
(two dollars and fifty cents), and then
the subscriber writes to the editor a-od
tells him. not to send his old paper any
more, for there is nothing in it, and then
the poor editor goes and starves some
more.”
Florida is to be congratulated. The
carpet-bag and negro thieves have stolen
the State dry, and there is not a dollar
in the treasury. As there is nothing
left now for them to steal, and the debt
amounts to only four hundred dollars a
head for each voter, the people ought to
be 1.-al happy, and congratulate them
selves that they are even left with the
ha upon their bods. There is no use
talking, there certainly is nothing like a
few veins of 1011, carpet-hag rule.—
[Pomeroy’s Democrat.
Our President says in bis inaugural
that he does not wish negro equality to be
forced upon the people by legislation,
only when *l ey travel, go to sehool, or
stay at home. This is like the man who
never drank whisky, unless when by
himself, in company, or he wanted it.
Punishment overtakes crime in some
parts of Texas with fearful rapidity to
the criminal. The Bonham Enterprise
says that Thomas St- bbens stole a mule
in Grayson county on Monday of last
week, sold it and got the money, was
arrested and put in jail, indicted, and
was ready to start to the penitentiary
on Tuesday.
“What is the use of tryrng to he hon
est ?” t ski and a young man the other day
of his friend. “Oil, you ought to tiy it
once anil sec” was the reply. And the
young man wanted to put a head on hi?
plain-spoken triend.
A little boy in school gave one of the
best definitions ever given of economy—
“ Paling potatoes thin.” This economy
means right management, not meanness.
President Grant’s assertion that what
he has done in the Southern States he
w mid do in any other State, draws this
comment from the New York Herald :
The President also says : ‘‘The States
lately at war with the General Govern
rnent are now happily rehabilitated, and
no Executive control is exercised in anv
one of them that would not he exercised
in any olher State under like circum
stances,’ Sureiy President Grant must
have forgotten Louisiana when he penned
this sentence. Does he remember that
a United States Judge, since branded
by Congress, distorted a law m order to
issue an order driving from power the
regular government, and placing the State
at the mercy of a band of reckless cons
spirators; that these illegal orders were j
enforced by a partisan United States !
Marshal, backed up by Federal troops ; '
the State House was seized and sur- j
rounded with cannon, the constitutional j
officers driven out, Governor, Judges and I
Legislators, and the usurpers installed in !
their places; that the Senate of the Uni
ted States, appealed to as arbitrator,
feared to endorse the outrage, denounced
the Judge, and left the State to get
out of the difficulty as best it might ; that
the Federal Government is now asked by
the usurpers to stand at their backs and
to enforce their authority even at the
cost of the massacre of the outraged peo
ple? And if the President has not for
gotten or overlooked Louisiana, does he
intend to say that the same “Executive
control” that has been exercised through
Durell and Packard and Kellogg in
Louisiana would be exercised in New
York, provided the result of an election
did not suit the politicians of the domr
nant party ?
The following story of Governor Grime?
is vouched for by one who kne\. well:
The legislature had convened at the
capital of lowa. Governor Grimes had
arrived the night before, and taken rooms
at a certain hotel—at least so a young
aspirant for office from a distant portion
of the State ascertained as lie drove up
and alight and from his carriage at tho
steps of that public house. The hostler
threw out his trunk, and the landlord
conducted him to his room, leaving the
trunk in the bar-room. Wishing his
trunk, the young man J.- mantled to have
it brought up, and se ig a man passing
thr"ugh the lower hall, whom he took to
be tlie porter, he give his commands in
an imperious and lofty tone. The or
der was obeyed : and the man charging
a quarter of a dollar for his services, a
marked quarter, that was good for only
twuity costs, was slipped slyly into his
hail, and was put into his pocket by thp
man, with a smile.
‘And now, sirrah,” cried the new ar
rival, ‘‘you know Governor Grimes ?
k Oh, yes, sir.”
“Well, take my card to him, and tell
bin I wish an interview at his earliest
convenience.’’
-V peculiar look flashed from the man’s
bite eyes, anti with a smile extending his
haul, he said :
‘I am Governor Grimes, at your scr
vim sir.”
You—l—that is, n y dear sir, I beg
a-+a—thousand pardons !”
‘’None needed at all, sir,”replied Gov
erior Grimes. “I was rather favorably
impressed with your letter, and had
thought you well suited for the office
sptcified. I>ut, sir, any man who would
swndle a working-man out of a paltry five
certs, would defraud the public treasury
hail he an opportunity. Good evening,
sir
‘Blowing Cotton’’ is a sitting-room
gane of the jolliest sort. Let as many
as may, be seated around the table,
with hands folded and arms extended
along the edge of the table, each person
touching elbows with his neighbor on
ea«h side o( him. Take a small piece
of common cotton batting, picked up so
as to be made as light and airy as pos
sible. Put this in the centre of the ta
ble. Let someone count “one, two,
tluoe,” and then let egoh one blow best
to keep the cotton away from himself,
and drivo it upon someone else. No
one must take up his arm to escape the
cotton. Wnen italiedits, take it up and
start anew It will be a very sober set
indeed, who can play two or'hree rounds,
without indulging in the healthiest sort
of uproarious laughter.

st rikinriy th" nol do ness of M ton ulay’s n at are.]
Thr day of fumuD, strife, ilrfoa' was o’er ;
Worn ou r wjrfi toil and noiso and scorn and
sptron,
I slumbered, nnd in klnmher saw once more
A roam in an old mansion, long unseen.
lhnt room, was curtained from
tlie li 2 ht ;
Yot throath the curtains shone the moon’s
cold ray
Full on a cradle, where,"in linen white,
Sf'opiny life's first soft sleep, an infant lay.
Pair flickered on the hearth the dybis flame,
And all was silent in that nneient hall,
Save when hv fi's on the low niaht-winds came
The murmur of the distant waterfall.
And lo! the fairy queens who rule our birth
Drew nitrb to speak tho new-born baby's
doom :
AVith noiseless step, which left no trace on
earth,
From gloom they cams, and vanished into
glbotii.
Not deigning on the hoy a glance to east,
Swept careless ],y tlie gorgeous Queen of
Gain :
More scorn fill s'ill the Queen of Fashion pas«ed,
With mincing gait and sneer of cold disdain*
The Queen of Power tossed high her jewelled
head,
And o’er her shoulder threw a wrathful
frown ;
The Queen of Pleasure on tho pillow shed
Source one stray rose-leaf from her fragrant
crown.
Still Fay in long procession followed Fay ;
And still the little couch remained unblest;
But, when those wayward sprites had passed
away,
Came One, the lust,, the mightiest, and the
hrst.
Oh, (rlnriiiia lady, with the eyes of light,
And laurels clustering rnnnif thy lofty brow,
Who hy the cradle’s side did wateh that night,
Warbling a sweet strange* music, who wast
thou ?
Yes, darling, let them go—so ran the strain
Yes, let them go ; gain, fashion, pleasure,
power,
And all the busy elves to whoso domain
Belongs the nether sphere, the fleeting hour.
(V i th out one envious sigh, one anxious scheme,
Tl.e nether sphere, the fleeting hour resign ;
Mine is the world of thought, the world of
dream,.
Mine all the past,, and all the future mine.
Fortune, that lays in sport the mighty low,
Age, that to penance turns the joys of youth,
Shall leave un'ouched the gifts which I bestow,
The sense of beauty and the thirst of truth.
Ot the fair brotherhood who share my grace,
I, from thy natal day, pronounce the free ;
And, if for some I keep a nobler place,
I keep for none n happier thun for thee,
There are who, while to vulgar eyes they seem
Os all my bounties largely to partake,
Os me as of some rival's handmaid deem,
And court me but for gain’s, power’s, fash
ion’s sake.
To such, though deep their lore, though wide
their fame,
Shall iny g'eai mysteries he all unknown;
But thou, through good and evil, praise and
blame,
Wilt not thou, love me for myself alone ?
Yes; thou will love mo with exceeding love;
Aud I will tenfold all that love repay,
Still smiling, though the tender may reprove,
Still faithful, tliuugh the trusted may betray.
For aye mine emblem was, and aye shall be,
The ever-during plant whose bough I wear,
Brightest ami greenest then, when every tree
That blossoms in the light of time is bare.
In the dark hour of shame I deigned to stand
Before the frowning peers at Bacon’s side :
On a far shore I smoothed with tender hand,
Throo*’ f* monll)9 pain, the sleepless bed
l of Hyde i
I brought the wise and brnve of ancient days
To choer the cell where Ralmgh pined alone;
I lighted Milton’s darkness with the blaze
Os tlie bright ranks that guard the eternal
throne.
And even so, my child, it is my ploasure
That thnn not then alone shoudst feel mo
nigh,
W hen in domestic bliss and studious leisure.
Thy weeks uncounted come, uncounted fly ;
Not then alone, when myriads, closely pressed ‘
\round thy car, the shout of triumph raise;
Nor when, in gilded drawing-room*, thy breast
S|-- Swells at the sweeter sound of woman’s
praise ;
No: when on restless night dawns cheerloss
morrove,
Whf>n anil wasted horfv’ pin(*,
Thine inn T fllill, in danger, fliokne®*, so**rfl\r,
In conflict, obloquy, want, exile, —thine!
Thine, when on mountain waves tho snow
birds scream,
AVhere more thap Thule’s winter barbs the
breeze,
Wiiero scarce, through lowering cloud*, one
sickly gh-am
Lights the drear May-day of Antarctic seas ;
Thine, when nround thy litter's track all day
White sand-hills shall reflect the blinding
glare ;
Thine when, through forests breathing death,
tLy way
All night shall wind by many a tiger’s lair;
Thine most, when friends turn pale, when
traitors fly,
When; hard beset, thy soirit, justly proud,
For truth, peace, freedom, mercy, flares defy
A sullen priesthood and a raving crowd.
A mid 4 the din of all things fell and vile,
Hate’s yell nnd envy’s hiss and folly’s bray
Th member me: and with an unforced smile
See riche?, bauble*, flatterers, pass*away.
Yes; they will pass away; nor deem it
strange :
They come and go, as comes snd goes the
sea :
And let them comic and go : thou, through all
change,
Fix thy firm gaze on virtue and on mo.
Industrial Love* making.
Two young turtle doves, wandering with
pinions entwined among tho labyrinths nnd
bowers of the Exposition building in Cincin
nati. were heard to coo thu-dy :
She—“Do you indeed love me true ?”
lie—“ True ns the needle to the sewing ma
chine, or the most aecurate case of mathematic
al apparatus on exhibition. When I look at
you my heart warms like a heating stove, and
beats like a steel hammer.”
She—“l can believe you then !’’
He—“ Doubt hurelar-proof safes and plated
ware, wax-work, millinery and safoty-valyes,
but never doubt my love."
She—“ Dearest Claw'd !/
He—“ Your love-lit glincos stir the waters
of my heart like a turbine wheel. Y>u aro tho
sublimated agricultural machinery of my
spiritual exposition. You are the cultivator
of my mortal existence, tho seed drill for
grains of purest thought, the reaper of golden
harvests of affection, and the mower—Well,
more to me than all the other girls in Cincin
nati.”
She (administering a roguish fan tap) “Per
haps I can prove you a thrasher, too.”
Ho—“ Well, and if you do, you will find me
asdocilo in your hands as pine wood in grasp
of wood workers, or dilapidated textiles in
rag machinery.”
She—“ Your heart will never wander from
'me?”’ v,
He—“My sweet sugar eyaooratnr. as soon
expect to seen patent saw-mill wandering in
the galleries, or steam boilers and tobacco
machines promenading arm-in-arm through
the hall. Yon, an l you a'one, occupy tho
apartments of my heart. You are alike ten
ant, guest and regular hoarder, besides being
furniture, upholstery and miscellaneous house
furnishing good*.”
Sho —“I mast—l will believe you I Ah,
Claw’d your words are dearer to me than n
season ticket to the exposition, and sweeter
than the sweetest bonnet in the millinery de
partment, or honey in the eu-rv-camb. But
can I n-lv upon yonr constancy ?”
lie—“ Constant as the fall of water over you
cascade, and in deyojiun as regular as a set of
artificial teeth. If you rofuso to believe mo
and smooth out the wrinkles in my heart with
your spiritual ironing apparatus, you will
mangle and wringer !”
She—“Do you respect, as well as love?”
He—“l respect you because you do not de
spise washing apparatus and cooking stovcß ;
but disdain chemicals, paints and cotton. You
would rank patterns in the 1 idies department,
and for appearance there is no euch carriage
ns yours in tlie Lind conveyance.”
She—“ See tho inconstant throng how they
flit from one object of interest to another; now
stopping to fondle a pegging machine or an
automatic boiler feeder, nnd again pausing to
inhale the fragrance of washing machines and
plug tobacco. So it is, I fear with inen who
profess to love.”
He—“ Dearest Pauline, you wrong me. In
comparison with you. all other women appear
as a ten-eent hack ride from the post-office
corner. They are but toys and fancy goods to
me, while to them I am but a refrigerator.
There is no mining apparatus that can under
mine you in frames in which your imago i*.
alone encased, and if you will place my name
upon your books as a life partner you may
count me as both stationery and binding. ’
After such extravagant courting as tho
above, we can t see what is to prevent this de
vot’d couple from going through life's indus
trial exposition together. —Fat C mtr ; b«tOr
