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 Election of Judges.

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?

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.

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.
