"REMEMBER MS."
»» OCR TTPO-.
What fond recollections are brought
to our minds from the forgotten past
by those sweet words “Remember
Me.” What visions of bappf ness floats
before us,as we took back to the happy
innocent days of childhood and think
ofjtie pleasant hour* spent in the
company of those who wore dearer
to (us than all else upon this earth.
They have all passed away, yet we
shall over remember them. Wbat
sweet thoughts those words bring to
us when we think oftho many friends
who have gone long years ago to
their last resting place, and who be¬
fore closing their eyes in death, said,
"Remember Me.” It is a sweet con*
eolation to remember those who were
our best friends, but it is sweeter far
to remember the one who first taught
our infant lips to utter the name of
mother. Many years have passed
and gone since that beloved one left
us and was carried from oursigbt. It
seems bnt yesterday that we saw her
as she lay upon her dying couch.
It was a bright and beautiful day
in Juno; the sun peeped through the
blinds, cssting its hallowed rays
around that couch wheron lay the
emaoiated form of the one we loved
so fondly. The birds had ceased
their warbltngg; and nothiog save
the faint breathing of the dying one
broke the stillness of the hour. Kind
friends had gathered around her
waiting to see those eyes close for¬
ever. It was the chamber of death.
She opened her eyes, and gazing
around the room they fell upoo that
of her sou; she beckoned him to draw
nearer; kneeling beside her couch she
placed her was hand upoo his bead*
and in accents low and sweet said :
“My son, Remember Me.” The eyes
closed, a gasp, and her soul bad wing¬
ed its flight to Heaven. She was
laid in her cold and silent tomb, and
when the last sad rights bad been
performed we tarned away never
more to gaze upon her in this world.
No mother’s gentle voice would we
hear again, no sweet kiss pressed up
on our lips, but the sweet words,
V Remember me,” were ringing io our
|srs- of friends relatives
Some one our or
111 soon pass away and go to tbat
Vie not made with hands eternal
%e Heavens. We shall miss their
smiles and loving words, but
CARNESV1LLE, GA., OCTOBER 5, 1878.
we should never forget their parting
words, “Remember me.” Let us
cherish these words and Btore them
in the jeweled casket of our memory
as hallowed reminiscences of the past.
Let them be indelibly impressed upon
oar minds, there to remain until time
shall be no more.
TO THE GIRLS.
The blooming and beautiful young
lady, rosy cheeks and bright eyed,
who can darn a stocking, mend her
own frocks, command a regiment ot
pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk
the cows, and be a lady all the time
is the gi rl that sensible young men
arte in quest Qf for * wfe, . But you 4
pining, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed,
consumption raortaged, music-mur*
daring, novel-devouring daughters of
fashion and idleness, you are no more
fit for matrimony than a pullet to
look after a brood of fourteen chick
ens.
The truth is, dear girls, you want
less of restraint and more liberty of
action; more kitchen and less parlor*
more exercise and less sofa, more
pudding and less piano, more frank*
ness and less mock modesty. Loosen
your corsets and breathe io the pure
atmosphere and become something
as good and beautiful as nature dev

TAKING THINGS BAS*.
There is no small art in taking
things easy, so long as we must suffer
annoyances In this breathing world,
saying as little as possible about them,
and making no parade of our marty*
dom. If making a fuse and rendering
every one else about us uncomfortable
in any way abated the ills that flesh
and sprit are hetr to, there would be
some slight excuse for the folly and
selfishness; but since we can not es»
oape tribulations of one kind or an*
other, fretting only aggravates them.
Either lot ns be silent and endure, or
take arms against car woes, and by
contending end IhAsR, In general he
Who makes no ado m supposed to
have no troubles of his own, or an or¬
ganisation so inferior that it is not
jarred out of tune by the rough usa¬
ges of fortune; tefaflake the very
worst of every trouare, big or little,
Irom the fracture of ajtea-cup to that
of a skull, Is coosidefed by many a
proof of great sensilMity and depth
of character, While b who pursues
the other course, wbJkpndures rever¬
ses, slights, injuries! pin-picks of
annoyance, agues of jy.mety, phislc*
al and mental anxiety physical and
mental neuralgias, ^Jpout lid howling reporting his
them to every pa 8 sq|
grievances into of every lis¬
tener, is often spolH foil, ^ as of fibre
too coarse to acutely and
keenly. “It is his tenrasrament,” t*|fpng we
are told. He takes to heart."
Some one, however v*My advises usj
“never tell your misfi^P^ies; no body
likes to have unfortunate friends;'
but in spite of this warning many
seem to think the disaster itself is a
recommendation to favor; that they
desorve a bonus for serving as a tar¬
get for fortune’s arrows; and they
are not seldom acutely jealous lest
some other should be deemed their so*
perior m suffering. In the meantime,
every one has a welcome for the per
son who has the good^seafi^to tBke
things easy. It is comfortable to be
able to agonize over one’s own trials*
to “a mind at leisure from itself.” The
person who can go witbouther dinner
and her spring suit and not advertise
the tact; who can lose her purse and
keep her temper; who makes light of
a heavy weight* and cau wefif a shoe
that pinehes without any one being
the wiser; who doesnot magnify the
splinter in her fioget into a stick of
timber, nor the mote in berjDfighbor' swallows a
eye into a beam ; W 10 her
bittors without leaving the taste in
other people’s without! mouths; who can give
op her own giving up the
ghost; who can have a thorn in the
flesh and yet not prii c all het' friends
passport with it—such into the a one purely >d graces carries of all a
go Bazar.
THE MOTHERLESS*
They are motherless ! Oh! gently,
gently keep bacK those bitter words,
Avert that cold, cruel stare. Sec you
not the tearful eyes? Alas! that
sorrow should ever make a child's
heart its home!
They are motherless t Stranger
hands ministering to their daily
wants; stranger hearts Wearying of
tne irksome duty,
|^ 0 fo,^ sweet kisses of warm em
b race i No gentle words Of comfort
ani j Iove | 80 ft. folding of little
hands in prayer I No mother!
Missing the low, sweet cadence of
|, er vo fo e . mieatng that “Goodnightl”
seeking, seeking all in vain, that ark
for the weary dove—a mothers heart.
Draw the little forms near to your
heart. Billow the aching head upon
your bosom. Think of yoUr sunny
childhood —your mother’s earnest
love, her gentle care, her patient for¬
bearance, her precious forgiveness.
Then only in kindness let your hand
rest oh each honored little bead;
only in love reprove that little flock.
Oh! let yonrs be the hand tbat
will lead them in the green pastures,
and by the still waters of the pfe
oioos Savior’s love! Let yours be
the blessed benediction ; “Inasmuch
as ye have done it to the least of
these, ye have done it unto me." Re¬
member their angels do always be¬
hold the face of our Father in heaven.
Then, it may be that a child’s band
shall lead you to tbat heavenly home
—a child’s hand place the crown Up¬
on your head.
Speak gently to the mothefleaA
A weight of woe they bear;
Greet them with look* of tenderneii—
Oh! add not to their care.
Speak gently to the motherless
When tears their ayes tAlim;
Remember who has bid tbom “ooWe/*
And lead them Unto Hits.
Then yours shall that blSttiirif be—
“Friend* ye hare done this SSto me.”
It is said that Holtzclaw iu the
Seventh District has developed into a
“regular ring-tailed roarer.'' He has
“warned editors and politicians tbat
if they told lies on him, be wonld
whip them, or be whipped.” We
don't think there will be any fighting
on this account sorely, for they can
tell the truth and make him donDt*
less look as mean as you please.
Substitute greenbacks for bank
currency, pay the bonds with greens
backs, then sell the greenbacks, for
nickels or waste paper. Hang John
Sherman to a sour apple tree. This
is a platform upon which all men can
stand regardless of birth, color or
previous condition of rascality. [
