SCRIBNER’S MONTHLY fob 1877.
Tire publishers invite attention to the fol
lowing list of some of the attractive articles
secured for Scribner’s Monthly lor the coin
ing year. In the field of fiction, bei-ides nu
merous novelettes and shorter stoties, there
will be two remarkable serial stories by Am
erican authors. The first of tin se, now com
plete in our hand*, Gabriel Conroy, by Bret
Harte, begins in the November number, and
will run twelve months. This is Mr llarte’s
first extended work. The scenes and charac
ters, which the author has chosen from his
favorite field, California, are painted with
characteristic vividness and power, and the
work is doubtless the most graphic record oi
arly California life that has yet appeared,
e
We shall also begin, in the January nnm
her, Philip Nolan’s Friends, or Show Your
Passports, by Edward Everett Hale. The
scene of this story is laid in the Southwestern
territory, now forming the States of Louisi
ana and Texas, at the time of Aaron Burr's
treason. The characters lived in a section
which was now American, now French, and
now Spanish, and this record of their adven
turous lives makes a story of intense and un
flagging interest throughout.
A second Farmer’s Vacation, by Col Geo
E Waring, Jr. Col Wating is now in Eu
rope, visiting, in a row-boat ride of 260 miles,
one of the most fertile and interesting of the
vine-growing valleys of Europe. This sec
ond series of papers promises to he even more
interesting than that with which our readers
are alteady familiar.
Centennial Letters, edited by John Vance
Cheney. A rare collection of Revolutionary
letters, mainly from stores in the hands of
the descendants of Col Joseph Ward. They
are full of interest, and will be read with a
rare relish in connection with the Centennial
celebration of the year.
Brilliantly illustrated articles on American
colleges, written respectively by their friends,
"ill appear during the year. The revived
interest in college life makes these papers es
pecially timely, and will secure for them un
usual attention.
Elegantly illustrated articles on Old New
York, by John F Mines, will appear at once,
and will attract the attention of all, in city
or country, who mark with interest the de
velopment of the great metropolis, and affec
tionately remember the quaint peculiarities
o its olden time.
Every number is profusely illustrated, the*
enabling us to give to our descriptive and
nairative articles an interest and permanent
value never attained in a non-iliustrated pe
nodical. Under its accustomed management
the magazine will in the future be devoted,
as it lies been in the past, to sound literature
and Cbristiau progress.

HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA„ FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1877.
Letter From Toxns.
Park ten Countt, Tex., )
April 12th, 1877. j
Mr. Editor: —lt is not often that I
get a glimpse of .your paper and
hear from old Harris much loss often.
I guess it does not reoo’ve
any correspondence from as far west
as this; so if you think this will be
at all interesting to any of your read
ers by all means let them have it and
thereby gra’ity my ambition.
My last two years in Texas has
thoroughly acclimated me to it and
now I am one of the “fixed foots.’’ I
cannot for the life of me see how a
person with any gumption can stay
iu Georgia and follow farming. Turn
over rocks, red clay and broom-sage
and put on the land guano, the cost
of which would buy double the nnm
ber of acres here, say nothing of the
extra wear and ot plows, hoes and
the labor required there, and in the
end gather about 300 pounds of seed
cotton from an acre, which has to go
nine times out of ten to some mer
chant who has charged almost two
prices for provisions advanced. Here
many break their land, sow the seed
and haraow them in, do nothing more
until they pick it and then get on an
averago of about 750 pounds of seed
cotton. While others who are not
quite so lazy, takes pains in planting
and cultivating, gather from i,200
to 1,000 pounds. I have seen fields
here in March with cattle turned on
them whiter than they generally get
at their best in Georgia. Send some
of your poor, half-naked, half-starved
negroes out here to pick cotton and
help put in cultivation the thousands
and thousands of hnd that is now
lying idle. They can get coUou to
pick one half for the other. They
can get as wages from sl2 to S2O a
month, corn at 35 cents a bushel,
flour $3 a hundred, bacon 11 cents,
and beef, such as he never squeezed
tooth into before, for 2 to 3 cents.
AH say tlie prospect for wheat was
never Letter here than it is now.
Year before last wheat averaged 20
bushels to the acre. Last year 11
bushels. I run a thresher and know
.hereof I sneak. Barley averaged
33 and oats 30"
Tom Scott’s T. & P. R. R. is now
within 15 miles of this county and
every train comes loaded with immi
grants. Port Worth, the terminus,
has loomed into a great city within
the last eight months. It is built uu
ou a high bluff of the west fork of
Trinity river. The streets are nar
row and during the business hours of
tho day are continually crowded. The
business bouses are generally built of
brick —some of stone and a very few
framed—Lumber costing S2O per
thousand. Fort Worih draws trade
from 200 miles west, consisting most
ly of pecans, buffalo hides, wheat
and cotton. Tne Central rail road is
is running a branch road to this
county by way of Waco and up the
Brazos river as fast as the work can
be pushed. It it estimated that
Parker county last year raised 12,000
bales of cotton and over 100,000
bushels of wheat yet it was only a
half crop.
I had better say no more of Texas
in this or your tax collector might be
after somebody for being an emigrant
agent. Your legislature had better
pass a law to prohibit any one Irom
leaving the Slate without paying a
spec ial tax, or issue a certain amount
of guano to its poorest regins, which
would be easy to find you well know.
As much as I think of lexas, I
often think of old Georgia and want
to make a visit back there especially
to Harris county—to ‘‘Collier Hill,”
“Cataula Mills,’’ “Forest Home,” and
a few other places. Texas, I own,
cannot compare with Georgia for
pretty girls; and to them, some of
my thoughts often go. With many
wishes for your success and with kind
respects to Misses \Y. W. and E. 8.,
allow me to be,
Yours very truly,

Whal’s n Printer,
An old typo gives the following:
A printer is the most curious being
living. He may have a “bank’’ nnd
“quoins” and not be worth a cent;
have “small oaps” nnd have neither
wife nor children. Others may run
fast, he gots along swifter by “set
ting fust. He may be making “im
pressions” without eloquence; may
use the “lye’’ wiibout offending, and
still tell the truth; while others can
not stand while they sit, hoTStiu “set’’
standing, and do both at the same
time; nny have “furniture,” and yet
have no dwelling; may make and put
away “pi,” nndwevtr see a pie, much
less eat one, during his whoib life;
be a human being and a rat at the
same time; may “press” a good deal,
and r.ot ask a favor; may handle n
“shooling iron’’ and know nothing
about a cannon, gun or pistol; he may
move tho “lever'’ that moves the
world, and yet be as far from the
morning globe as a hog under a mole
hill; “spread sheets’’ without being a
house; lie may by his form on a
“bed,” and yet be oblidged to sleep
oil the floor; he uy use the “dag
ger” without shedding blood, and
fom the earth handle “stars;” he
may be of a “rolling” disposition,
and still never desire to travel; ho
can have a “sheep's foot” and never
be deformed; never without a “case,”
and know nothing about law or
physic; be always correcting bis
“errors,” and be growing worse every
day; have "cm-braces,” without ever
having the arms of a lass thrown
aronnd him; haye tiis “form locked
up,” and at the same time be far
from the jail, watch-house, or any
confinement; he might be plagued by
the “devil” and yet, be a Christian of
the best kind.
“Mol, her.’’
It is tho cry of the infant, just
from the cradle; it is the only balm
that will heal the wounded heart in
youthful days. “Mother, I’m hurt,”
“llll'lll Wt 1 * VlifHy "UJUIIjCI I J\j
me, tell me stones.” It is always
“mother with the child and tho lad-
No one like mother. No hand that
falls on the feverid brow as softly as
hers, no word* so sympathetic as
those that pass nr lips. The house
would bo grave without her. Life
would be a dreary, thorny road with
out her warning voice and guilding
hand. A father may bo kind, may
love not less, but-the weaned child
wants tho moiher’s arms, her
soft lullaby songs, the caresses of her
gentle baud. All childhood is a mix
ture of tears and j >ys. A kind word
brings a smile, a liarsh word a sigli
a fall is pain, a toss a joy. The first
footsteps, weak and trembling,grown
stronger by the guidance of a moth
er’s love.
Tho little wounds, the lorn clothes,
the headaches, the heartaches, the
trials, all vanish at tho words of a
mother, and thei* is built up in the
heart of every man an edifice of love
and deep respect that no crime can
topple down—no dungeon cell affect.
And a lad grows to be a man only
to find that “mother” is the same. —
If he errs, she weeps; if he is good
and manly, she rejoices. Ilers the
only love that lasts—endures forever.
The wolf of starvation may enter
the door, but her love is only tried
to shine tho brighter. All tho woud
may cal! her son a criminal, but the
mother only believe# it net. Trials
may beset you, storms gather over
you, yexations come, ruin drag you
down, but there is one who ever
stands firm in your cause, who will
never leave you. Tho criminal on
tho scaffold has suffered a feeling be
cause his bad deeds would cause a
pang in a mother’s heart. The low
and wretched, dying in some dark
abode of sin, have died with that
name upon their lips. There is no
praise like her praise, there are no
sad tears that pains us so much as
her3.
We would never have ventured to
state the above, if Grubb hadn t en
dorsed it as follows: “Incredible as
it may appear, the hail stones fell in
abundance and rapidity, being iu size
from that of any egg to a cocoanut.
We are indebted to Mr. Hopkins for
sending several of those huge boul
ders from above for our inspection.
We measured one which war ten and
a half inches around, and others were
quite the size of an orang this,
too, about five hours a fit’' they had
fallen.” - •.
Our First.
He wss’nt a ferocious looking man,
nnd evidently came in to remonstrate
in a kindly manner. Something we
hnd written did not exactly meet his
views(whnt it was ho never delayed
to tell in detail,) and he thought he
ought to drop iu nnd talk It over.
There were three present besides the
editor, and a big Newfoundland dog
lying under the table. The minute
ho opened the door tho dog had him
by the lappet of the coat, and yanked
him into the miiddle of the room
with a startling vehemence. It un
nerved him a little—it would any
man— afier he had coughed up
his tobacco quid, he said: *T don’t
’sposo it makes much difference, but
you fellows got it in ’totlier day, that
iny gal Phoebe wore her mother’s
hair down at a Crow Hollow sur
prise”—just hero tho local stopped,
pulled out a drawer in the bottom of
his desk, and took hold of a black
walnut file on which our previous
issues were suspended. “Don’t,’* he
screamed, “Don’t draw no gun on
me ! I ain’t mad; and I’d not stop
ped in only for the ole woman ! Dem
me git out and we’ll call it square,”
and he made a break for the* door,
overturned a chair, and made such a
racket that the dog went for him
again, lie flew along tho passage,
with tho dog clinging to lus coat-tail
and just at the landing, while his
bead was turned to bent the animal
off, ho fell over a box of typo that
thp expressman hnd left standing
there, and the next, he know lie had
caromed on every step of those two
flights of stairs dean out into tho
side-walk. A* lie picked himself up,
he looked as if he had been shot out
of a balloon, r.nd walked on by a St.
Patrick’s day procession. Ho not
only has not slopped his paper, but
has sent a quarter in advance—
through tiie mail, — Herald.
Au Editorial Brutus.
An editor out West indulges in
the following talk to I.is suberibers
and patrons. The famous speech of
Brutus, oil tlie death of t’resar, as ren
dered by Shakespeare, is made to do
service in this amusing travesty:
“Hear tis for our debts, and get
ready that you may pay; trust us, we
have need, as you have long been
trusted; acknowledge your indebt ed
ness, and dive into your pockets, that
you may fork over. If there bo any
among you—one single patron —who
don’t owe us anything, then to him
we say; gtep aside, consider your
self a gentleman. If the rest wish to
know why we dun them, this is our
answer: Not that we care about
ourselves, but our creditors do.
Would you rather that e went to
jail and yon go free, than that you
pay your debts and keep us moving?
As we agreed, we have worked for
you; as we contracted, we have fur
nished the paper to you; but as you
don’t pay wo dun you. Here are
agreements for job work, contracts
for subscription, promises for long
credit, and duns for deferred payment'
Who is there so gt-ecu that be don’t
lake a paper ? If any, he need not
speak, for wo do not mean him.
Who is there so green that lie don’t
advertise? If ?ny, let him slide; he
ain’t the chap cither. Who is there
so mean that he don’t pay the prin
ters? If any, let him speak, for he is
the man we’fle after.”
A Short Stovy with a Moral. —
When trade grew slack and notes fell
due, tho merchant’s face grew long
and blue; his dreams were troubled
in the night, with sheriff’s bailiffs all
in sight. At last his wife onto him
said: “Rise up at once—get out of
bed; and get your paper, ink and
pen, and say these words unto all
men: *My goods 1 wish to sell to you,
and to vour wives and daughters too;
my prices are so very low, that all
will buy before they go.’” He did
as his wife advised, and in the papers
adveriised. Crowds come and bought
off all ho had, his notes were paid,
his dreams were glad; and he will tell
you to this day, how well punter’s
ink did repay. Ho told us with a
a knowing wink, how ho was saved
by printiv’s ink.
A Professor remarked to a student
one day: “Iu this life, when one
man does wrong we all suffer for it.
If a student should do wrong, and an
account of it get into the papers, we
shoii’d all niter. That will not be fo
in the iutre life.” To which the stu
dent responded: “No-sir, because
the newspaper man won’t be there.’’
HOW it lllljqitsv.,.
She led him to a sofa nnd in a deep
bass voice called him her soul’s idol,
and inquired what his monthly in
come was. Seeing his gaze fixed on
her boa-oonstrictor-liku mouth, she
remarked: “Darling, I see you no
tice my largo and beautiful potato
trap; let mu explain to yea the rea
son of its unusual siz ; when I was
quite a child I was quite a child I
was playing on Papa’s cellar door; it
gavo way; I was precipitated down
into the basement, and caught by the
mouth on a meat-hook, which ripped
up my face and extended my mouth
•several inches.” With ms eyes full
of sympathetic tears, lie rose from
the Bofa and replied; “My angel, per
haps you are mistaken. Probably,
in tho excitement of that awful mo
ment, you left your mouth down iu
the basement and accidently brought
up tho cellar. We shall meet again
in a belter world. Adieu.”
