FnrnisH Your Children witli Rending-
Mat ter.
Children, when they learn to read, are
delighted with newspapers, because they
read of names and things familiar. A
newspaper of the right kind, is worth a
quarter’s schooling to any child, in one
year. We do not mean a political paper,
for that is not interesting to the child,
and he will not read it. Neither do we
mean a so-called literary paper, filled
with sensational stories, and dime novels,
for that will be an injury to the child ;
but we mean a newspaper which con
tains matter interestingto thechild, from
which he can gain practical and useful
information. Let every father remem
ber that information is connected with
advancement. The mother of a family
being one of its heads, and having, the
immediate charge of the children, should
herself be instructed. A mind occupied
becomes, fortified against the ills &f
life, and is braced for emergencies.
Children amused by reading or study,
are more considerate and more easily
governed. When . they are furnished
with appropriate reading matter at home
they understand their lessons at school
more thoroughly, and,, as a matter of
course, their advancement is more rapid.
Every teacher knows this, and if parents
would, only find out and act accordingly,
they would soon see the benefits result
ing from it, to the children. How many
parents are particular in furnishing suit
able food and clothing for their children's
bodies, while their minds are starving?
How many parents never think of fur
nishing their children with books—and
who never takes a paper, except it be a
political or commercial paper, which the
ekildren never see, or if they do, which
they never read. Parents, furnish your
children with appropriate reading matter,
and they will acquire a fondness for
reading, and study, and thus be prevent
ed from forming idle and dissolute habits
which will work their ruin.
How many thoughtless young men
have spent their earnings in-a tavern or
grogshop, wlio ought to have been at
home reading ? How many parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for books
or papers for their families who would
willingly give thousands to reclaim a son
or daughter, who has ignorantly fallen
into temptation for want of wise counsel
or lack of something interesting, as well
as useful, to occupy their minds? Pa
rents, remember that as suitable food
taken into tbe stomach developes and
strengthens the physicaljpovver, so appro
priate reading and study enlarges and
expands the mental powers—and for the
sake of the future happiness and pros
perity of your children, do not deprive
them of this mental food.
Let teachers impress this truth upon
the minds of patrons, and persuade them
to furnish their children writh appropri
ate books and papers, and it will lighten
the labors of the instructor, and prove
of lasting benefit to-the children.

Representatives from Oglethorpe
—From an editorial notice in the last
Echo, highly complementary to the Hon.
W..M. Willingham, and from a flattering
allusion by a correspondent of the same
paper to the Hon. James M. Smith, we
think it quite probable that these two
gentlemeu will be brought forward as
candidates for the House of Representa
tives from that county. From a long ac
quaintance with both these gentlemen
we can fully endorse all that has been
said of them by their friends in the Echo,
and are confident that their record in the
past will be a sufficient guarantee for
“good and faithful service” to Oglethorpe
in the future. —Athens Watchman.
—Preparations are being actively made
for the resumption of fall studies at the
various large Universities. Entire new
sets of bats and balls throughout have
been provided Yale, and Harvard is
reported to have large con
signment of euchre decks from a Loudon
dealer.
Pleasant Hill School.
Last Friday, for the first time, we visited
Pleasant Hill.- It was after dark when we,
together with our young friend, Walter Max
well, reined up before Liberty Hall—the res
idence of that mammoth and model farmer,
the Hon. James M. Smith. Everything
around this gentleman is on a gigantic scale,
from the heart that beats within liis bosom to
his turnip patch. His crops, fences and buil
dings are in perfect order, and all arottnu him
bears the aspect of peace and plenty.
This is one of the best and most independ
ent sections of our county. Nearly every far
mer raises his 9WII supplies, and their conten
ted faces and sleek stock show the fruits
thereof.
The programme of the evening was about
half through when we reached the academy.
Avery large audience was present, as also the
Crawford band, which added no little to the
pleasure of the occasion. Making our way to
the stage, we met with a cordial welcome from
the principal, Mr. Meadow, who furnished us
with a comfortable seat. He has the largest
attendance of any school in the county, and
from the admirable manner in which his
scholars acquitted themselves, we can hut
pronounce him full worthy of such liberal
support. Where all acquitted themselves so
creditably it is unfair to discriminate, and so
we will simply give a programme of the even
ing, adding that each scholar deserves special
mention:

MEMORIES OF THE HEART.
Oh gentle breeze ! will you waft a message
To a dear loved friend over the sea,
Whose radiant face and form
Will ever be dear and sacred to me?
Tell her I stand on the sands of the shore,
That the night winds blow cold on my
lone heart—
, Waves of agony roll over my soul,
At memory of the words we must part.
From my desolate heart there comes a wail,
That I now send over the deep blue sea,
But no echoes to these piteous moans
Do I ever hear wafted back to me.
Once there was a lovely isle of the sea,
All radiant with sunshine and flowers,
But ah ! how changed the island to me,
As the cold wind now weeps through its
bowers.
Only one sweet thought in this sad lone
hour;
Can bring a ray of happiness to me,
That though our lives may have drifted
apart,
It was a mandate of Fate's stern decree.
Though parted wovrlier heart is not changed,
But with an affection steadfast and pure,
She strongly clings to those days of the past
With a tenderness that brings joy to me.
At this-dear thought, my sunbeams in sor
row,
The sweetest happiness my heart beguiles.
The stars peep forth bright and' bewiteh
ingly
As the a moon looks down, and gently
smiles.
Now as the voice of earth, air and sky
Floats up through the mists of this sweet
even
Some are mourning for the days that have
fled,
Others chanting the glories of Heaven.
Do you’ wonder then there are some mo
ments,.
That happiness though it is but a dream,
So fills every niche in my lone heart—
That a perfect Elysian it seems ?
Though there is now a cloud over my life,
No beautiful silver lining I see,
Yet in the bright lovely Eden above
My dear friend will be given back to me.
I know many tears must be wiped away
For the sorrows and woes earth has given,
Before the spirits, sundered on Earth,
Are reunited above—in Heaven.
In that land where good, bye is never heard.
Shadows and sunshine never come and go,
At the command of the great Eternal,
May we two be “ peace crowned” ever
more.
—An Irishman visited a graveyard
with a friend, and pointing out a shady,

J. B. TOOMER, Agent,
(Office over Talmadge, Hodgson & Co’s store,) ATHENS, GA.
MOSES MYERS,
College Avenue, Athens, Georgia,
WOULD respectfully inform the citizens of Oglethorpe and surrounding country that he
has just returned from the Northern markets, where he bought the
LARGEST, BEST AND CHEAPEST STOCK OF GOODS
ever brought to Athens. In order to meet the demands of an early trade, AIR. AIYERS spent
several weeks in the different markets, in search of goods, and as a result can now show one
of the largest and best selected stocks he has ever offered. Being thus early in the market,,
and during the dull season, he has been enabled to buy many goods to great advantage, and
in fact everything at lower prices than rule at this date. Having also special rates of freight,,
he is prepared t-o otter superior inducements in all lines. In his
DRY (4D0D44 DEI’ARTMEIT
Will be found full lines of Standard Prints, Bleaclvings of all kinds, genuine Kentucky Jeans
at lowest prices, Linseys, Flannels, Sheetings, Shirtings, Osnaburgs, Checks and Stripes, Cot
ton Yarns, Dress Goods from the finest Silk to cheapest Worsted—in tact, he has everything,
in this line ever found in first-class establishments, aii of which will be sold at lowest prices.
IN THE NOTION DEPIRTHEST
Everything that is usefuK-jhi 1 tons. Collars and Cuffs, Ribbons, Ties, Extracts, Toilet Soap,
Combs and Brushes, Corsets, Suspenders, Handkerchiefs, Trimmings, etc.
The WILSON and-other SEW ING MACHINE NEEDLES at greatly reduced prices.
IN READY-KADE CLOTHING
He defies competition, in style, price, quality and stock. You can but be suited from his stock.
HOOT, SHOE AND MAT DEPARTMENT.
In these goods Mr. AIYERS undoubtedly leads the van. For ONE DOLLAR you can buy'
a stylish, first-class Felt Hat—an article that would cost twice that sum elsewhere. Besides,,
he has full lines of the latest styles, both Wool and Felt, for Alen, Youths and Boys, all new
and very low.
