THKIKEtHSTJKK^! Co* Lit:., oZ Till K.-nAY BEPtf W - “\ : k „Mr Hill <*>m!ud-l •* 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 low its memory. General Cleburne lolt Ireland to come to America; he left the heights of Franklin to go to the arms ot his God. lie was true to the section of his adoption, and was the type ot as proud a manhood as ever trod a batt'e lield. lam proud lo'sec Ins represen tatives in this crowd; proud that the green still Ives and is true to its colors, for it is nn emblem of peace and hope while others would. like old Mortality, hunt among the dead, aud with mallet and chisel, deepen tbe wounds 2nd in flictions of the past. The green comes like the hues ot spring to cover the scats of winter, and breathe in flowers over 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. mon flag, in a common country, with a common cause, doing honor to that syin hoi of American liberty now and for. o er. 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 rest Ave Nik, itt Pomeroy’s Demo crat —♦ ♦ —- 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. —Sunday Herald. He Wanted Advice. An exemplary minister, residing in Raleigh, was busy at his sermon thcotli er evening when a caller came to disturb him. It was a stranger, and he said his r, a ret was Dolsocker. He extended his hand for a shake ; sat down rs it in his own house, and presently began : ‘I called to see if yon would give nu a little spiritual advice.’ ‘Certainly 1 will, and will be glad to,' was the reply. ‘Are you, a professor?' ‘No.’ J wsa M*W wit iMir.P*Hl Q your feet into good paths, 1 hope.’ ‘Well, ptrlupr so,’ was the hesitating reply. ‘Don’t you want to be a’, Christia®?’ asked the good man. ‘l’ll tell you how it is,’ said the stran ger, after a lengthy interal. ‘l’ve got a ticket in a lottery, and L wanted to a>k you if yow thought it would stand any better chance of striking ihe big ptize il 1 was sorts* good than it would be it 1 kept on being, sorter bad/ The clergyman diou’i labor with Mr. Dolsocker very long.

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 O O bank. Fr.re baid and work hard when you are young and you will have a chance to rest when you are old.
