CLOTEIJYOh j 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.

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!

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 No. 32
