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 Journal. 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.— [Wool Gruver. ► ♦ —•— Wk saw a farmer on Saturday who was ragged, jw-or, destitute, and unable to pay Lis fax ; and yet be did not want to read a nev sp. per ot farm journal, because he said book burning was a humbug and seed would grow just the same if p t in the g’ornn I.

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. 9 J. M.
