The Cherokee Georgian. DON'T CROWD. Don’t crowd; this world is broad enough For you as well as me; The doors of art arc open wide The realm of thought is tree; Os all earth’s places, you are right To choose the best you can, Provided that you do not try To crowd some other man. What matter though you scarce can count Your piles of golden ore, , While he can hardly strive to keep Gaunt famine from his door. Ot willing hands and honest heart Alone should men be proud ; Then give all the room he needs, And neyer try to crowd. Don’t crowd, proud Miss; your dainty silk Will glisten none the less Because it comes in contact with A beggar’s tattered dress. This lovely world was never made For you and me alone ; A pauper has a right to tread The pathway to a throne. Don’t crowd the good from out our hearts By fostering all that’s bad, But give to every virtue room— The best that may be had; Be each day’s record such an one That you may well be proud ; Give each his right—give each his room, And never try to crowd. Failures in Business. The man who never failed in business can not possibly know whether he has any grit in him, or is worth a button. It is the man who falls, then rises, who is really great in his own way. Peter Cooper failed in making hats, he failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive builder, and grocer; but as often as he failed he tried again, until he could stand upon his feet alone, and then crowned his victory by giving a million dollars to help the poor boys in time to come. Horace Greeley failed three or four times in the newspaper business, before he found ed the Tribune, and made it worth two million dollars. Patrick Henry failed at everything he undertook, until he made himself the orna ment of his day and nation. Stephen A. Douglas made tables and bedsteads many a long year before he made himself a giant on the floor of Congress. Abraham Lincoln failed to make both ends meet by chopping wood ; he failed to earn his salt in the galley-slave life of a Mississippi flat-boatman; he had not even wit enough to run a grocery ; and yet he made himself a grand character of the nineteenth century. General Giant failed at everything ex cept smoking cigars; he learned to tan hides, but could not sell leather enough to purenase a pair of breeches. A few years ago he ‘brought up’ on ‘.op of a wood-pile, teaming it to town for forty dollars a month, and yet he is at the bead of a great nation. The lesson for every young man is this : As long as you have the health, and have power to do, go ahead. If you fail at one thing, try another, and a third—a dozen even. Look at the spider; nineteen times it tried to throw out its web to a place of attachment, and on the twentieth succeed ed. The young man who lias the gift of continuance is the one whose foot will be able to breast the angry waters of human discouragement. Things I Want to Know.—A boy bor rowed his mother’s scissors, and left them on the floor when he was charged to put them back in their place. He didn’t mean to disobey; he merely forgot. He went out to spin his top, and when tired of the sport he put the top in his pocket and ran otf. He remembered to pick up the top—l won der why ? This boy was charged to call at the gro cery, on his way to school, and leave an order; but the family waited in vain for their dinner, because the order was not left. The boy was very sorry, but he for got. He remembered, however, to stop on his way home and see about the new skates that were expected at the hardware store. I wonder why that errand wa? more easily remembered than the other? I want to know why it is so hard to re member some things and so easy to remem ber others? I’ve noticed that the things wc remember are the ones we enjoy most, and I wonder it the liking has not some thing to do with the remembering? And if this is so, are we not to blame for the forgetting? because if we wanted to do right, and meet all our duties, just as much as we want to have a good time, we should not be apt to forget. Tour memory is a sentinel that should be always on duty, and it is n poor excuse tor the sentinel to say, ‘Oh, I was asleep!’ He hat no business to be asleep, and you should tench him better. Wait.—Wait, busbind, beore you won der audibly why your wife don’t get along with the household re<ponsibilities“as your mother did.” She is doing her best—and no woman can endure that best to be slight ed. Remember the long, weary nights she ‘ sat up with the little Italic that died; remem ber the love and care she bestowed upon you when you had that long fit of illness. Do you think she is made ot cast iron? < Wait-wait in silence and forb?arance, and : the light wid come back to her eyes—the old light of the old days. Wait, wife, before J you speak reproachfully to your husband when he conus home late, and weary and “out ot sorts,” He has worked hard for j you all dly—perhaps tar into the night; he has wrestled, hand in hand, wi h care, and selfishness, and greed, nnd all the de-i mens that fellow in the train ol money muk-1 in ». Le’ h»ncho an 'lher atmosphere cn- j tirelv L<t him f. d that there Lno other place it the world where he can find peace, and tptivt, mi l perfect lov \ j A Lamentable Fact.—ln an address of Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken before a Grange audience, he spoke of the want of educa tion among the formers, and of the great scarcity of reading among their families. We know there is a great prejudice against ‘book learning’ among agriculturists, but then we only have to compare the homes of those farmers who take the papers and those who do not, to see the vast superiori ty of general information where the papers are read. It is a crying shame that we have so many valuable publications in the South languishing for support, while the cry is coming up that there is want of edu cation among our farmers. Nothing makes the country home so attractive as good books and papers, and when they are print ed right among us, we should take good care that they do not languish and die. There is no better evidence of the pros perity of any community, whether agricul tural, mechanical, or commercial, than the support accorded its newspapers. It should be a matter of pride with all our people to give substantial support to the press of their communities. Tribute to a Mother.— Children, look in those eyes, listen to that dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand 1 Make much of it while yet you have that most precious of all good gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love of those eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. In after-life you may have friends, fond, dear, kind friends; but never will you have again the inexpressible love and gentleness lav ished upon you which none but a mother bestows. Often do I sigh in my struggle with the hard world, for the sweet, deep security I felt when, of an evening, nestling in her bosom, I listened to some quiet talc, suitable to my age, read in her tender and untiring voice. Never can I forget her sweet glances cast upon me when I appear ed asleep; never her kiss of peace at night Years have passed away since we laid her beside my father in the old church yard; yet still her voice whispers from the grave, and her eye watches over me, as I visit spots long since hallowed to the memory of my mother. —[Lord Macaulay. Only a Grain ok Sand. —A man who for years had carried an old and cherished watch about him, one day called on its maker and told him it was no longer use ful, for ft would not keep time correctly. ‘Let me examine it,’ said the maker; and taking a powerful glass, he looked carefully and steadily into the works, till he spied just one grain of sand. ‘I have it,’ he said ; ‘I can get over your difficulty.’ About this moment, by some powerful but unseen power, the little grain, suspect ing what was coming, cried out: ‘Let me alone 1 lam but a little thing, and take up so little room, I can not possi bly injure the watch. Twenty or thirty of us might do harm, but I can not; so let me alone.’ The watchmaker replied: ‘You must come out, for you spoil my works, and all the more so that you arc so small, and but few people can see you.’ ( Thus it is in the home One cross feel ing, one hasty word, one angry look, may mar and hinder the running of the perfect machinery. The Good and the Bad. —To day the world is like a masquerade llich carnival is being held, and men wear their masks, and strut about, and we think that man a king, and this a mighty Oriental prince, and this a haughty Indian chief. But the time isover for the masque; daylight dawns; strip off your garnishings; every one of you put on your ordinary garments. Who goes out to the unrobing room with great est confidence ? Why, the man who feels that his next dress will be a for more glori ous vestment. Who shall go to that dis robing room with the greatest tremor? Why, those who feel that the splendid character they once wore will give place to beggary and meanness; when tor robes they shall have rags; for riches, poverty; for honor, shame ; and for regal splendor, hissing and reproach. If any of our read ers seem to be what they are not, let them be wise enough to think of the spade, the shroud, and the silent dust; let every one among us now nut his soul in the crucible, and, as we shall test ourselves in the silence of the dying hour, so let us judge ourselves now. The Way to Conquer.—‘l'll master it,’ said the axe, and his blows fell heavily on the iron ; but every blow made his edge more blunt, till he ceased to strike. ‘Leave it to me,' said the saw; and, with ; his relentless teeth, he worked backward ! and forward on its surface till they were all worn down or broken ; then he fell aside. ‘Ha! ha!’ said the hammer; ‘I knew you wouldn’t succeed; I'll show you the way;' but at his fierce stroke, off flew his • head, and the iron remained as before. ‘Shall 1 try ?' asked th * soft, small flame. But they all despised the flame; but he i curled gently round the iron, and embraced ; it, and never left it until it melted under his irresistible influence. There arc hearts hard enough to resist i the force of wrath, the malice of persccn ! tion, and the tury of pride, so as to make I their acts recoil on their adversaries; but ’ there is a power stronger than any of these, I and hard indeed is that hem t that can resist ; love. —[Child’s World. j Begin Right.—l know a man near Pitts burg, who is very rich now, though be was very poor when a boy. He said his father | taught him u* ver to play till all his woik for ; the day was finished, and never to spend money till he had earned it. If he had but a half an hour’s work to do in a day, he was taught to do that the first thing, and to do it tn half tin hour. Alter this was done ho could play, and my young friends all know he could play with a great deal more pleas ure than if he had the thought of his unfin ished work on his mind. He says he early formed the habit of doing everything in its season—keeping every thing in its place; and it soon became perfectly easy for him to do so. It is to such habits that he owes his present prosperity. lam very happy to add that he delights to do good with his riches, and has many warm friends. A Sad Blow. A Vicksburger who prides himself on his choice language was over in Louisiana the other day on business, and stopping at a farm bouse to get a drink ot water, the woman remarked that the crops stood in great need of rain. “Yes, rain is the great desideratum,” he replied, as he handed the tin dipper back. “Mary! Mary!’’ yelled the woman in loud tones. A white-headed girl of sixteen came out of the back room in response to the call, and the mother continued : “Take a squar view of him, Mary! He don’t look as if he knew enough to plow cotton, and yet he just got off a word as long as from here to the mule pen aid back, and he maybe holdin’ on to more !” The Vicksburger walked right away from there.—[Vicksburg Herald. Ministering.—Pure religion and unde filed is “ministering,” not the other thing, “being ministered unto.” It is handing over the morning paper to another for first peru sal. It is vacating a pleasant seat by the fire for one who comes in chilled. It is giving up the most restful armchair or sofa corner tor one who is weary. It is moving up in the pew to let the new comer sit down by the entrance. It is rising from your place to darken the blind when the sun’s ray streams too brightly upon some face in the circle. It is giving your own comfort for another. This is at once true courtesy and real Christianity. Il we mean to copy the spirit of the Master, wc must be ready in every relation of life and at every hourol the day, to give up being waited upon, and to practice this self-sacrificing, beneficent and “ministering” graciousness of spirit and conduct.
