load culls were made lor ex-Cbml Justice (
who had been to the
Nluiid, Im* with m> intention of making a
Hpoech, but the demonstration was so
Htroi.g that be bad to yield, "and N'oWe an
follow*, according tc tbe reporter's note:
Fkuxaw Cmr.Ksa — \fU-r tbe able ami
eloquent address which you have just
beard it would be unjust to myselt as
well is you to trespass on your time, pa
lienee and attention with any additional
or extended remarks. For I could add
nothing to the ebullisioiis ol wit, fancy
and eloquence you have just listened to
from the UpS ot Georgia's distinguished
son. ,
Fluttered, however, by this call as an
act, if hciproca! courtesy it may be ap
ptopriate to tbe surroundings ol the hour,
that I sin aid say something aud add one
flower to the garland and galaxy ot beau
ties winch have been contributed to
grace this occasion.
I was not like tbe gentleman who pre
ceded me, horn under the flag that flaots
so proudly and gracefully ;ab<ve us. 1
c .nnot say with him that this was the
C.nbem ol my fathers, for I was born on
a foreign land, fllid in tbe tide of life
dine to this flag as ;the emblem of a
country where freedom reigned, and
where merit was the only title of distinc
tion, and standing under it to-day, in the
presence of its glittering stars that twin,
kle in this evening breeze, I can ns
proudly, as fervently sv,
’Ti the star-spangled banner
Oh ! long may lt wave
Over the land of the free
And the home of the bruve.
The land I came trom is a flagless
country Its sunburst on a oca of green
has gone down under the storms ol war
and in the rain of battle, and I may be
pardoned for adding that upon ever)
livid where it floated and wherever if
fell wan a ChersonesiiH, fought with he
roism and lost without dishonor.
There is a great idea ol honor and ns
actuality in a flag. When you look a
long the line of smoke to where the
hottest of the fight is centered; where
the air is thickest with sotifs fluttering
home to God, you will sae the emblem
ol the nations floating. It may be torn
flto Bhfeds by bnllota and begrimmed
with powder, but the honor of the army
is symbolized by its folds, and tho na
lion’s life throbs in the hearts of those
Who struggle fo maintain it. And tho
flag cf America—the craWnn of out
Union ol States, and banner of our na
tional honor —whoso stars and stripes
you have unfurled to sprinkle this efe
ning’s air, is the type and emblem of
Americi n heroism, American glory and
prosperity. The distinguished gentlemen
who has so ably filled the place of orator
on this occasion, has dwelt upon its his
tory, and history itself portrays the glo~
ry of its heroism. Our flag—for it lias
become ours in the destiny ot the nation;
. ours in the past, py its memories, and
ours in the future by tho hopes that clus
ter on it. Our flag to-day is the emblem
Of the grandest an freest government on
earth. No man can more fully appreci
ate the power cf that flag, whose morn
ing face is kissed by the sun in his royal
march ol light, and whose symbols are
welcomed by the roll of morning drums
around the world. No one who can
more proudly feel tho emotion of pleas
ure in recalling the flag that shaded the
face of an expiring Napoleon at St. He
lena; the flag that waved over the old
Waterloo ; the flag whose eagles went in
victory from the Tuilleres to the Kremlin
and from the snows of Russia to the
sands of the pyramids. But that flag
whose stars above mo hang like white
flowers on the sky in the freedom of pen,
of speech,, of press, in tho grand and g'o
rious privileges of citizenship, excels
them all.
It is glorious with memories and still
more glorious with hopes, and while I
would not deny that for myself, there is
a furled flag I would rather see floating
over us. Still in the banner of the stars i
and Btripes, we have a heavy weight of
glorious achoivment and an emblem of
the proudest, freest, ’giaudcst govern
ment known to tho patiiot or the histo.
riau, and a sense of loyalty inspires, ns
duty demands, that we should had it as
the emblem ot our common country,
naited in one government tioiu the rock
bound coasts of New England, down to
the purple shores of the Pacific.
The war of sectionalism, so very ably
depicted by Mr. Llill. is iu the past, and
with us at least, sectionalism 'lias been
buried-rt list past has been dug with bay
onets, it lias been wet with the tears ot
orphanage. It has been trampled over
with cavalry, and eohoed to the roll ol
cannon, aud though spirit anus reach
out to ns from the mounds of battle fields
and glorify that past with the hallow of
memories. Let sectionalism sink behind
us iu the waves of au obliviou, where
memory has no existeucc aud prejudices
tio resting place. Iu the name and hop
es of a common country let us rise above
tiie sentiment, which would only bequeth
meanness aud misery to our children.
To that flig we can look tor protection
abroad, wherever tin* American cluxet.
plants liis toot, on the most distant cmi
flucs, of thu inoat distant lands, that flag
ci to ds him with its protection and
shelters him under the giory that streams
down from its siars. It has never been
lowered to any power or principality on
earth, and its power is lecognucd from
the halls ot the Montezuma's to the torch
lit galleries of Herculaneum. In tin*
j proudest courts, and among the most
! ehiva'.lic people, the stnrs that glitter on
it arc eyes In watch the safely of the
American citizen as well as amid the
gloom aud shadows o! the darkest civ
ilization.
Hut I did not rise to make a speech.
Before I close permit me to utter my
gratification at seing the line of green
that threads this audience, for they arc
the representatives of the nationality ot
which I Roost. The Cleburne Killen—l
hail you litre to-day. The name you
bear is cndeared.by tbe glories that hal

for it is nn emblem of peace and hope
while others would. like old Mortality,

flictions of the past. The green comes
like the hues ot spring to cover the scats

the dust of the dead. Cheered both by
the name and colors you bear, I am glad
we stand to-day together under a tom.

Boys, Where are You?
Hoys where are yo on tho road of
life I There are two roads, you know,
one lending up tho summit of true nobil
ity, the other lending down through the
marsh and slime to tfie quagmires of
shame, degredation and self-abhorence.
Roys, which road have you taken and
how far have you gone ? Where aie
you to wighf, and where do yott intend
to be twenty years lienee ? You mean
to make your mark in tbc world do you
noli You have dreams ot wealth and
tame won by your own untiring zeal an 1
industry, you look forward to the time
yon will be men and do men s work, and
nmtic of yuw to v>y plsiccs
in the land. That’s right, boys ; dream
and hope and work. Some ol yon will
bo presidents, secretaries, treasurers and
leading business meu one day.l
Wliat kind of men are you going to
make* \N bat kind ot work will yon do 1
What will our country be when yon have
charge of it?
Yow jn not all be presidents, you can
not all become rich mid famous, hut you
can all be good an! grerA men rf yon
will.
lint suppose you are one day called to
occupy a Position of great responsibility,
are you ready tor it, boysf
Have you clean hands, a clean heart
and a clear head ? Are you putting aside
the filthy habits, pulling up tho noxious
weeds, and lopping off the uutailhiul
branches of ) our character ?
You have a high aici in life, yon are
earnestly working to carve out for your-
self a great future, but, boys, are you
ready for the good future when yon have
earned it ? You are bound to be a lead
er among men yon say—hold a moment
—arc you worthy to be a leader!
W hen you have mounted the ladder of
fame to the very top, will you stand there
a close fisted, conservative, one idea
man, or will you carry up there with you
a free, generous heai t, and tho ability to
make the world belter and happier.
An ambition that eould find its fruition
in merely earthly honors is uot a noble
one. Seek to occupy a high place, boys,
1 that you may do more good when you
have obtained tt.
Begin now to scatter little seeds of
kindness all along your way, and by and
by they will spring up and bear good
fruit.
There is much in getting a right start,
and much in holding out. There is
scarcely ever a boy who starts out with
an intention of becoming a dishonest,
untruthful bad man. But someliints a
boy makes a mistake, lie did not mean
to do wrong, but he was not earnest and
thoughtful; he was careless. Then,
when the mistake occutred, somebody
scolded ami exaggerated the mistake into
a sin, which dishcatened aud discour
aged lnm.
But do not give up, boys, because the
road is rough, the hill hard to climb. It
is worth while to |be honest arid good,
one thinks so much more of oneself.
You have many discouragements.
Yon have thorny paths to tread, flowery
| roads to allure you, aud mountains of
1 difficulties to conquer, if you wish tor
success, but remember, the promise is
given to him that overcometh, and not
to the one that floats away with the
tide.
You must fight if you would win. Do
.ol Hunk oi ivmg up. He strong.
vVresile with the waves; do nut let them j
carry you buck. If you wish for excel-,
loticc strugg'e lor it, and the struggle
will inspire and invigoiatc joii,
Sometimes boys have no one to sym
pathize u ii.li them, no one to cure wheth
er they stand or full. Hot me tell you
something; there is hope, encourage
ment, sympathy and love waiting in the
future for every one who docs his best to
give sunshine and sympathy to others.
For the man who tails are only tears and
regrets, and sometimes few of them ; for
the man who wins there is all lie himself
lias won, and ell his thronging friends
can give him.
If, when you hate' done your very
best, when you have bit tied with break
ers, and struggled bravely in tlu- current,
you are yet overpowered and horuo
down, why then—dare to fail, find upon
the failure build a newer and surer foun
dation. If circumstances are aaginst
you, do tiie very la st you can, retaining
always your own independence and sell
iespect, and God will take care of Un

A Farm for Sale.
I have one of the most excellent farms
for sale that any man ever worried with
plow or tickled with harrow.
It is composed ol out-fourth of a very
large section of land surrounding the
town of Mugga, which is the reason the
town is no larger than it is.
This farm is mostly under cultivation,
under mortgage, and partially under wa
ter.
The depth of it b never been full)
determined, but it is supposed to run to
the centre of the earth.
The soil is so rich that the fence posts
inserted generaly grow two or three feet
every year, and make it necessary to put i
one or two boards on every once and a
while. Some old fences are so high that
the clouds have to knock off a board to
get through, and ti;c* birds get tired of
trying to climb over, and give ii up. 1
lost a knife m one ol the fields last year,
and lately I found two iu the place of it,
that one and another.
The fertility of this iknd has never
been equalled. Why the hens-on it lay
twice the amount of eggs that they do
ou any other farm.
Last yeat I lost filly dollars on one
field, and this year I have doubled il
without any exertion.
A man got a litt'e of this soil ui.dei
his finger nails, and in two days they had
grown two inches, and had a fuss with
his wife and scratch td her eyes nearly
out
A bald friend of mine recently rubbed
his bead with his hand, which had some
of ffe* soil on, while lie was planting
•potatoes, and in a few days he nad a very
fine crop ol on the top ot his head#
which has to be mowed every once in a
while. lie thinks now that lie is in the
hey-day of his youth. See Timothy.
Last year a neighbor's boy came over
to see after the health ol my watermel
melous and got stuck in tin? mud. He
couldn't get out, and had to stay there
all night The next morning lie had
grown from three to tour feet in height,
and was four years older—but it was his
own tau Stand not mine.
Trees* even after they are cut down
on this fanu continue to grow, and rail
fences grow so much ill one season that
they get over on lWy neighbor’s fend
many yards before I know it —he Sever
finds it out; and three-quarters of a cord
ot my wood expands- to one cord when
I get to town with it; at leas*, that is
what all my customers say when they
get a load of it I have lived on this
rich farm for ten years and have got rich
on wood alono.
Worn-out hair brushes, Thrown away
on this land, have afterwards been pick
ed up with anew growth ot bristles, and
good as new.
The land is so productive that one
acre of it will measure more than an or
dinary acre on any other farm, and it
will be no exertion for it at all.
This is the only farm in this country
that will turn out throe pecks of wheat
to the bushel, and do it w ith impunity
without flinching.
One dozen bad eggs on this farm will
count as many as one dozen good ones
on any other farm, provided the grocer
don’t look too close.
Every thing here is so thrifty that the
house I live tn, which was originally one
g ory, is now a three-story with a Man
sard roof. But the worst thing ot all is:
l had a mortgage on part of it three
years ago, ot one thousand dollars, which
has grown up to three thousand to-day,
and it shows you \\ ill l ave to be very
careful. This was all on account of the
richness of ‘die soil, which operates both
for aud against.
When I first moved here I had very
little respect for my neighbor, but now
it has grown into a disgust that turns
out and measures six pints to the quart,
I am very sorry tor this bnl I see 1 can
do nothing to help it in the least.
This farm was purchased for four dol
lan, an acre, but that has grown—with
out much cultivation—into two huudred
dollars, and could bardly believe it to be
so, unless yon see my figures, and figure* j
won’t Uc. (I don't know what I might
do in that line under provocation.)
Neighbors complain that ll is farm
draws all the substance out of their crops
and pttls it into its own, and I am not
prepared to deny the fao‘, although it
docs look s little to them ns downright
stealing on the sly.
Hoys on this farm obtain their mujoii
ty a year or so before they know it.
The dust that blows ihto your eyes
here does not give you jiftin, but increas
es your vision to such an extent that )<>u
can see more into your neighbor’s busi
ness than ymi could ever imagine.
Were you to have theigood fortune to
be buried on this farm you will bes ire
to rise, and ibis is one ot the greatest
things to consider when you go to buy a
farm.
If you intend to purchase this farm, as
everything can be raised on it, aud will
give it short ttofice, it will raise money
for you, and do it without growling.
You can raise a disturbance on this
farm with a very small hoe.
There are some of the finest pastures
here that ever pasture vision, and cattle
get so;f ft that they have to roll home.
There are fences running all around
his firm, r.nl they tun so lively and
vigorously that they go at the rate of n
mile in two-seventeen, and it takea a
pretty fast, gate Ice catch them.
There are several fine wells of watei
on tins land, but the water is as wells
could be expected.
Corn planted on this- soil gets so ac
tive that when it. springs up it springs
deal out of the ground, and yon have t<
ie a stone to every grain to keep i
down, and yon a-e obliged to cut the
Vgs off little onions to prevent them
l from ap’inging up before they ara ready
This farm is entirely too lively for th<-
present owner, and lie wishes to sell it to
some live man.
I will sell it and take a 'mortgage on
it, as it will more that double in a year.

Homely Maxims for Hard Times.
Take care of the penies.
Look well to your spending.
No mutter what fotwes tf more goes
out you will always be poor.
The art is uot in making money, but
in keeping it.
I/i'tle expenses, like mice in a barn,
when they are ftaffty make a great
waste.
Hair by hair the head gets bald, straw
by straw the thatch goes off the coitage,
and drop by drop the rain comes into the
chamber,
A barrel is soon empty if the tap
leaks but a drop a minute.
When you mean to save begin with
your mouth ; many thieves pass down tho
red lane.
The ale jug is a great waste.
In all other things keep within com.
pass.
Never stretch your legs father than
your blanket will reach, or you will soon
be cold.
In clothes choose suitable lasting stuff
not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the
main thing never mind the looks.
A fool m ik-:s money, but it neods a
wise man to spend it.
Remember it is easier to build two
.chimneys than to keep one going.
Il you give all to back and board
there is nothing left for the savings
