The Cherokee Georgian
AN EARNEST QUESTION.
BY KEV. CHARI.ES TAYLOR.
The days appointed man to liv e
Are few and full of pain,
» And when he dies, can any teil
If he shall live again ?
The lilies and the roses bloom
In summer’s gentle rain,
They die in winter, but in spring
The flowers live again. (
The seasons come and away
In their successive train,
Winter may shroud the earth in gloom,
But it will smile again.
When in the rich and f< rtile soil,
The farmer sows his grrrn,
It dies— but, springing forth renewed,
It blooms and lives again.
Will man, who goeth t< the tomb,
Forever there remain ?
Is death an everlns'.ing sb ep?
Or, shall he live again ?
Os all the millions who have passed
To that unknown domain,
Not one has e'er returned to tell
If any live again.
I asked the sages of the earth—
I asked them—but in va in—
If, after sleeping in the grave,
A man should live again ?
But, no—l found ’twas far beyond
The reach of human ken,
To tell me if, beyond the tomb,
I e’er should live again.
I then looked on the sacred page—
There inspiration’s pen
Had written —though we must die —
We shall live again.
When those we love are called away,
How dark and cheerless then
Would be our hearts, did we not know
That they shall live again.
Though earthly scenes are fading fast—
Though life is on the wane —
We will not mourn as without hope,
For we shall live again.
Yes, we shall live again, in heaven,
• Where sorrows, care and pain
Shall be fortune, ’mid the joys
Os those who live again.
The ties that Death has broken here,
He there no more can sever;
Kindred and friends united then,
Shall live —and live forever !
[Mountain Echo.
Things We Have Noticed.
We have noticed, in the beginning < f
every year, that the farmers are going to
plant more grain and less cotton. In the
fall we notice that there has been just about
as much cotton and just about as much
grain planted as there was the year before.
We have noticed every year that the farm
ers are going to make provisions enough to
supply themselves; but, notwithstanding
this, we notice that about the same number
are engaged in hauling provisions out of
the towns, which they buy at ruinous
prices. We notice every year that the
country is next year going to be self-sup
porting ; but, when next year comes, it is
painfully evident that the country gets its
support from the far West. We are told
every spring and summer by the fanners,
“Publish in your paper that the cotton crop
ingoing to be a failure;” and when we
smile incredulously, they tell us of the cat
erpillar, the boll-worm, the drought, the
rust, the bad stand, and numerous other in
dubitable proofs that the crop mint turn out
a failure. We suspect at the time that they
are trying to create an impression through
the papers that the crop will be small, so as
to induce a rise in the price. But how fu
tile are their efforts! The price of cotton
is never affected by newspaper reports, and
it always stays down. At the end of each
year we notice that the crop reaches away
long toward 4,000,000 halt s, and the farm
ers sell for less than it costs. Wc notice
that the farmers try every means except
the right one to raise the price of cotton
We notice that the policy of raising a great
deal of cotton and very little provisions,
causes the country to languish, and spreads
bankruptcy throughout the land. We no
tice that some of the Grangers are wofully
false to their professions of raising their
own provisions and buying for cash; and
we believe that they arc the truest Grangers
who live at home and do not have store
accounts. We notice that farmers get
more advice than any other class of men,
and apparently- pay less attention to it.
But we notice that the advice s’ill flows on
the supply seems inexhaustible; and, as
wo believe it is good, we propose to con
tinue to d® our share as long as the types
hold out to print it. —j LaGrange Reporter.
Oiling Harness;
A good harness is costly, but if prop- :ly
used and cared for will last a good many
tears. It neglected it will soon need re
pairs, and in a short time become utterly
worthless. In caring for a harness one
great point is to sec that it is suitably oiled.
A work harness, in use on a farm, should '
be oiled twice a year, in th i spring and fall ;
It should be taken entin ly apart; the
{daces where sweat and dirt have collected
cleaned with chip or an old case-knife, then
washed clean in warm w Per, in which a
little Castile soap has been dissolved. As
they are washed the strips should be hung
on a pole to dry.
When the outside is nearly dry. but be
fore the mo sture is all out of the leather,
Vic oil should be applied. This may be
done with a clean paint brush, which is the
thing for the purpose,or a sp<mge or wookn
cloth. A nvalerato quantity should be
used and if it does not soften the leather
erough, another light coating may be ap
plied when t’.e first one is well dried in.
This so better than it is to pul on a great
deal al once.
(tie slioul i lie taken to obtain good
qnahty «'! ui|. Mint's-! >t>l is the very be-t
kind of oil for L.ilber Tucre are some
patent preparations in which a waterproof
ingredient is added to the oil, and a little
coloring substance to make the leather look
black and glossy. An honest mixture of
this kind is better than the crude oil. Cheap
oils are generally poor. When dry, the
harness should be rubbed with Castile soap,
then with a diy woolen cloth. When this is
done, it may be put together and used. This
work should not be neglected until the
hurry of planting and hoeing time, but
should receive attention now. —[Live Stock

The Grave of Ex-President Taylor.
It is with pleasure that we mention the
fact that the long-neglected tomb of Presi
dent Zachary Taylor has at last received
the attention of considerate relatives. A
nu ib-r of workmen, at the instance of
Mr. Richard 11. Taylor of this city, a
nephew of General Taylor, have been busi
ly engaged for several days past in giving
the last resting-place of our twelfh Presi
dent a presentable appearance. The Tay
lor cemetery is about five miles from the
city of Louisville, on the Brownsboro turn
pike. The iron gate has been painted
black, and the narrow path leading to the
President’s tomb has been cleared and
widened. The greatest transformation,
however, has been effected in the exterior
of the sepulchre. The loose Mnd jutting
stones have been replaced, and the rough
front has been ground down to a smooth
and polished surface. New earth has been
placed in the cavities, and the summit has
been cleared of the briars and brambles
which covered it. The other graves in the
inclosure, that have not been visible for
years, now appear under the shadow of
spotless marble slabs. Having a key of
the President’s tomb, our reporter entered
the marble portal. He found himself in a
room of solid masonry, about tight feet
square. The sun cast a mellow light into
the chilly apartment and disc’osed two cof
fii s. They were constructed of stained
poplar an I rested upon marble bases. The
one on the left, which contained all that
was mortal of the Kentucky chieftain, was
wrapped in a black oil-cloth ; the other, on
the left, the the remains of his faithful con
sort. At the rear of the room is a life-like
bust of General Taylor, in plaster of Paris.
Leaving the room, our reporter noticed
that the inscription, which before was al
most obliterated, had been brought out in
bold relief:
I Z. TAYLOR. :
; Born Nov. 24, 1774. I
; Died July 9,1850.
It is the purpose to make an effort to
have the remains of President Taylor and
tho«e of Colonel Richard Taylor removed
to the Capitol burying-grounds at Frank
fort.—[Louisville (Ky.) Paper.
flow to Calculate Interest.—The
following rules are so simple and so true,
according to all business usage?, that every
banker, broker, merchant or clerk, should
post them up for reference, Time being
no such thing as fraction in it, there is
scarcely any liability to error or mistake.
B.’no other arithmetical process can the
desired information be obtained by so few
figures.
Six per cent.—Multiply any given num
ber of dollars by the number of days of in
terest desired ; separate the right hand fig
ure and divide by six ; the result is the
true interest on such sum for such number
of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent —Multip’y any given
amount for the number of days for which
it is desired to ascertain the interest and
divide by forty-five, and the resul. will be
the interest of such sum for the time re
quired, at eight per cent.
Ten per cent. —Multiply the same ns
above, and divide by thirty-six, and the re
sult will be the amount of interest at ten
per eent.
What it will d i.- If a mechanic or- clerk
saves only 2yX cents per day, from the time
he is twenty-one until he is threescore and
ten, the aggregate, with interest, will
amount to $2 900; and a daily saving of
27*2 cents reaches the important sum of
§29,000. A sixpence saved daily will pro
vide a fund of $7,000 sufficient to purchase
a good farm. There are few employees
who cannot save daily, by abstaining from
the use of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc.,
twice or ten times the amount of the six
per cent, piece. Every person should pro
vide for old age, and the man in business
who can lay by n dollar a day' will eventu
ally rind himsc'* : messed ofover slo’t,ooo.

Care of Young Stock. —Some farmers
h ive advanced the opinion, an 1 even prac
tice upon it, that ‘o have 1 a? ly stock they
must be exposed to the weather, and stinted
in food while young; or, in other words, r
that a cal! or a colt will ted and cared to
will naturally be tender, and must be so
fed through life to be k'-pt in good condition.
This i< not *o in the first instance, for stock
I ha'f kept while young, can never recover
from the injury thus rec, ived, and no after
care in f> edi.’g can make as good an animal
n< would h ive been produced by proper
treatment in early life. To keep stock
profitably they should always be kept in
thriving condition, teceiving extra atten
tion while young and growing especially
during the w infi r and spring. Good shel
ter ami plenty to rat and drink are particu
larly necessary at thi< season of the year to
make valuable horses a.id cattle hereafter.—

MONEY MADE.
I desire to call the attention of all
those who owe me anything, that
their accounts and notes are now
due, and that I am compelled to
have money. We have been bless
ed with bountiful crops, and all
can pay who are so disposed, as I
will take corn, fodder, wheat, oats,
rye, cotton, peas, potatoes, pork,
and almost everything, in p tyment
of debts due me. So 1 hope my
old friends and customers will re
spond liberally to this call, for by
so doing they will save cost and
their good name at the same time.
I mean business, when I say that I
am compelled to have money. All
those who are indebted to the firm
of McAfee & Moss must pay their
accounts and notes at once. Those
failing to do so, or to make satis
factory arrangements, will certainly
find their accounts in the hands of
collecting officers.
I want to purchase 10,000 bun
dles of fodder and 1,000 bushels of
corn, for which I will pay goods or
cash to those not indebted to me.
I have now got, and am receiv
ing daily, one of the largest and
best selected stocks of goods ever
exhibited in North Georgia, which
I propose to sell very cheap for
cash or barter. I am determined
to sell as low as the lowest, as my
experience in business and facili
ties for buying are not excelled by
any in this country. We—l mean
myself and clerks—invite all the
children and ladies to call before
purchasing elsewhere, as we will
give all the children candy and
love all the ladies.
