In the first, they believe him to be every thing that is good, and they are lavish with their friendship and confidence.

Later in life they learn that the greater number ot men have mote good in them than bad, nnd that, even where there is cense to blame, there is more room to pity than to condemn) CONYERS, GEORGIA: THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 187 G. Twelve Holes for Farmers. 1. Have a written contract with all laborers by the month or year. 2. Pay working men their wages promptly when due. * 3 Use only the best implements on the farm, and keep them always in order and well protected from the weather. i T e fL ßtock re .t?'ilt'’ly, and recol lect a fat lidrse eats less than a poor one and does milch better work. 5. Early plndtitig is best, nine years in ten, therefore, tilant daily. 6. Early cultivation secures a good crop—always push your work—never let your work push yort. 7. An ounce of brain is worth a pound of muscle ; therefore, alwas think well; and plan before hand wliat.is ISpst tb be done. Order is Heaven’s first law. 8. Never suffer that which is made to be lost or wasted ; preserve it, and econ omize. It is the saving more than the making that gathereth riches. 9. Never buy what you can produce at home equally as cheap. In this way you save time, expense, and the profits of two merchants, 10. Never plant more than you can cultivate well, for all crops abhor neg lect, and refuse to grow well for A lazy man. v U. Nevor borrow from a neighbor except ih a ctlse of necessity, and then return whateVer you borrow as soon as possible, lest a misunderstanding arise, and good neighborship be destroyed.

Says the Suspension Bridge Journal of March 2d: The incessant gale from the North and northeast for the past fcHii'.ea a wonderful change in the Niagara river. During Sunday and Pdopfciity ,lhe falls presented an appearance such as has not been witnessed since the year 1848. Many o( pur citizens, and more especially the visitors who happen ed to be in town, rushed fronj point to joint viewing the wonderful flighf. jThe lugfe roots below the American Falls that are usually covered with water from fifteen to twenty left were bare, and stuck out like mountains. „ W)Mtn Glassbrook, the old ferryman, said he could have walked from the entrance to (he “Shadow of the Rock” up to the “Ca7e of the Winds” in front of tho river between 06'at Island and Park, where the water, Usually runs more than twenty miles ah hour, was checked to such an extent as to be wadable anys where without the slightest assistance. But tkh grandest view of all to behold was the gt&ft Hoppesboe Fall. This had lost fully two-thirds of its immense body ot water, and,, fafy compared by many with an ordinary mill hepd. The stream immediately above Table -Rock and far beyond Street’s .Island, a distance of more than four htfndred feet, present ed one solid bed of rock, but hardly a drop of water. The place just opposite, where the old Terrapin Tower torme.ly stood, corresponded very much with that already described, and the handful of water that remained, comparatively speaking, was forced through the deefi channel in the center, which forms the Horse-shoe. The polish residents in Prussia are preparing for a public demonstration against the prohibition of their language iu the schools and coups. THE falling ROCK. SIX THOUSAND TONS OF SANDSTONE ABOUT TO ROM. DOWN THE SIDE OK LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. On Sunday hundreds of people visited the mountain for the purpose of taking a ook at the immense mass, which is slow ly severing itself from the ledge of rocks ai Braggs Bluff, near the toll gate. The brat indications of this severing process were discovered about a week ago, and since, then the *dfe Hti tVUrri Alnfor.t'cii stantly going on. The greatest progress so far discovered has been an inch an hour, but on Sunday, at 3:30 p. m. it had leached a distance of about sixteen feet irom the parent ledge.

When the rdbfc frill* it will take with it this cool chamber \vhwp so many hiive slaked their thirst. ( DoWn at the base, between the falling part rind the ledge has been opened a bank bf beautiful white ssnd which has been protlbunced by judgeo to be superior for disking glass. The severed part is ornaihented by three pretty good forest trees. The distance between the road and the cliff is 8o small that the rock will undoubtedly fall acrosS the road and go thundering" dowii tlie side of the mountain, carrying with it trees and whatever may be in its track. People are still passing in front of it on foot, and a few venturesome ones on horseback. We fear somebody will try this experient just once too many times Sunday night about ten o’clock, some thirty tons of rock from the front of the bloving mass fall. It is still moving, though less rapidly than heretofore. The tall Will be a wonderful sight, and ages hehbe, people who see this huge mass in the valley beneath, will wonder what great upheaval sent it to its resting place. “Thus time the tomb builder” levels mountains and fills up val ieye, and we doubt not that much which is ascribed to be wonderful commotions in nature is the result simply of the cease less working of the never idle destroyer.

MARK TWAIN. Coming out of the Erie railway build ing. I yesterday saw Mark Twain, whom we used to know in the old Frisco drity* #9 Sam Clemens.

He was then unknown, except ns an odd character in San Francisco, and as the writer of letters to the Saoramento Union, and he very timidly said he had receiyed art effer I} orb a musical monthly to writhe a page for it for six dollars. He wanted to know whether it would pay him to go on to New York. I had Dc-ver read Anything of his, and I told hin} that It he went oil to New York he cduldn't earn his salt.

Conduct.— The line of con duct chosen during the five years from fifteen to twenty, will, in almost every instance, determine his character for life. As he is then carelul or careless, prudent or improvident, industrious or indolent, truthful or dissimulating, intelligent or ignorant, temperate or dissolute, so will he be in after years, and it needs no prophet to cast his horoscope or calcu late bis chances in life.

Broad ribbon was crossed on the back and passed around the arm-holes, exactly like the braces used to strengthen looping shoulders ; it was then twisted about the waist anil tied in a sash at the baefc, ~, j . „ i. When' this lady first made her debut into society, the waists were at the shortest,' and the “ classic style,” as it was called, the prevalent mode. And these Excessively e,hort waists were disagrpeable, . at|d i painful to wear., A dress in those days measured two yards and a half at the bottom,. of the skirt, and was gored upward until the little fullness tii.it remained was gathered in by a drawing string at the neck.
