An Irish Fable.
“ TIIE DAD SON AND THE GOOD SON.”
“ An’ it was once long ago. in the onld
counthry,” said Mrs. Biddy, “ there was livin’
a fine, clane. honest, poor widdy woman, an’
she havin’ two sons, and she fetched the both
of them up fine and careful, but one of them
turned out bad intirely. An' one day she
says to him. says she :
r Eve given you your livin’ as long as iver
1 can. and von must go out into the wide
worruld and sake your fortune.”
Mother. I will,’ says he.
“Ah’ will ye take a big cake wixljuao curse,
;or a little cake an' me blessing?” says she.
“ ‘The big cake, shure,’ says he.
“ So she baked a big cake and cursed him,
and he wint away laughin’. By an’ by he
came fommst a spring in the woods, and sat
down to ate his dinner off his cake, and a
small, little bird sat on the edge of the spring.
“ ‘ Give me a bit of that cake for me little
ones in the nest,’says she; and lie caught
up a stone to throw at her.
“ ‘l’ve scarce enough for rneself,' says he ;
and she bein’ a fairy, put her bake in the
| spring and turned it black as ink. and went
away up in the trees. And while he looked
i for her to kill her, a fox wint away wid his
' cake
“So he wint away from that place very
mad, an* nixt day he Stopped, very hungry,
at a farmer's house, and hired out totind the
COWS.
“ ‘ Be wise,’ says the farmer’s wife, ‘ for the
next field is belongin’ to a giant, and if the
cows gets in his clover lie will kill you dead
as a stlione.’
“ But the bad son laughed and wint away
out to watch the cows ; and before noon-time
he wint to slape up in a tree, and the cows
all wint in the clover, an’ outcomes the giant
and shook him down out of the tree an’ killed
him dead, and that was the ind of the bad
son.
“ And by the next year the poor widdy
woman, she says to the good son :
“ ‘ You must go out into this wide worruld
and sake your fortune, for I can kape you no
longer,’ says she.
“ ‘ Mother, I will,’ says he.
“ ‘An’ will you take a big cake wid me
curse, or a little cake wid me blessing?’
“ ‘ The little cake,’ says he.
“ So she baked it for him and gave him her
blessin’, and he wint away, and she a weepin’
afther him foine and loud. An’ by an’ by lie
came to the same spring in the woods where
the bad son was before him, and the same lit
tle bird sat again on the side of it.
“ ‘ Give me a bit of your cakeen for me lit
tle ones in the nest,’ says she.
“ ‘ I will,* says he, an’ he broke off a foine
piece, and she dipped her bake in the spring
and toorned it into sweet wine ; and when lie
bit his cake, shure an’ she had toorned it into
a fine plum cake entirely, an’ lie ate an’ drank
an’ wint on lighthearted. And nixt he come
to the farmer's house.
“ Will ye tind cows for me? 0 ’ says the
farmer.
“ ‘ I will,’ says the good man.
“ ‘ Be wise,’ says the farmers wife, ‘ for the
clover field beyant is belongin' to the giant,
an’ if you leave in the cows he will kill you
dead.’
“ ‘Never fear !’ says the good son ; ‘I don’t
slape at my wurruck.’
“ And lie goes out into the field and lugs a
big stone up in the tree, and thin sinds ivery
cow far out in the clover fields, and goes back
ag’in to the tree. And out comes the giant
a-roarin’ so that you could hear the roars of
him a mile away ; and when lie finds the cow
boy, he goes under the tree to shake him
down, but the good little son slips out the big
stone, and it fell down and broke the giant's
head intirely. So the good son wint away to
the giant’s house, and it bein' full to the eaves
of gold and silver and splendid things !
“See what fine luck comes to folks that is
good and honest! An’ he wint home and
fetch his old mother, an’ they lived rich and
continted, and died very old and rispicted.”

A Brussels Love Story.
There is a pretty love story told in connec
tion with the introduction of the manufacture
of fine lace in Brussels. A poor young girl,
named Gertrude, was dying for love of a
young man, whose wealtli precluded all hopes
of marriage. One night, as she sat weeping,
a lady entered her cottage, and, without say
ing a word, placed in her lap a cushion, with
its bobbins filled with thread. The lady then,
with perfect silence, showed her how to work
the bobbins, and how to make all sorts of
delicate patterns and complicated stitches.
As day light appproached, the maiden had
learned the art, and the mysterious visitress
disappeared. The price of the maiden's lace
soon made her rich on account of its valuable
patterns, and she was able to marry the ob
ject of her love. Many years after, while
living in luxury, with her numerous family
about her, she was startled by the mysterious
lady entering her comfortable house—this
time not silent, but looking stern. She said :
“ Here you enjoy peace and comfort, while
without are famine and trouble. I helped
you ; you have not helped your neighbors.—
The angels weep for you, and turn away their
faces.” So the next day Gertrude went forth
with her cushion and bobbin in her hand, and
going from cottage to cottage, she offered to
teach the art she had so mysteriously learn
ed. So they all became rich, and their coun
try also.
A Poor Season for Them.
“Speakin' of shootin’ ducks,” said an old
sportsman, “ puts me in mind of a great storm
that occurred when I lived on an island fur
ther west. The island was near by Casco Bay 7 .
An awful storm arose, and was so fierce that
it drove all the ducks from the Bay into a
pond, covering about an acre, near my house.
In fact, so main 7 ducks crowded into the pond
that I could not see a drop of the water.”
“Jerusalem !” cried a listener named Smith.
“ Did ye shoot any of’em?”
“That's what l was coming at. I went in
to the house and got my double-barreled shot
gun, and discharged both barrels right in the
midst of them, but to my astonishment they
rose in the air, leaving not a solitary duck in
the pond!”
“ Good gracious! ye don't say so!” ex
claimed Smith. Didn't ye hev any shot in
3’er gun, or what in thunder was the trouble?”
“ Well, I was coining to that,” said the
story-teller. “It astonished me at first, but,
as soon as the ducks rose a few hundred
yards in the air, and commenced to separate
a little, the ducks began to drop, and whether
you believe it or not, I picked up twent3 7 -nine
barrels of ducks, and it was a poor season for
ducks, too ! You see the ducks were wedged
in so solid in the pond that, when the3 7 rose,
they carried the dead ones into the air with
them, and when they separated, down came
the twenty-nine barrels of dead ones !”
Never play at any game of chance.
FARM, APIARY, &c.
Facts in the Nautural History of the Ho
ney Bee.
There are three classes of bees in a hive,
the Worker, Queen, and Drone .
Queens are raised by peculiar food and
treatment from eggs that would otherwise
produce workers. The worker is an unde
veloped female. Workers in the absence of
a queen sometimes lay eggs. These in
variably produce drones.
The queen lives from two to five years.
The worker from, two to three months iu
the working season, and from six to eight
during the season of rest.
The queen is perfected in fifteen or sixteen
days from the egg. the worker in twenty to
twenty-one, and the drone in twenty-four.
The queen usually commences laying from
seven to twelve days after leaving the cell,
and is capable of laying from two to three
thousand (*ggs in a day'-.
The impregnation of the queen always
takes place outside the hive, on the wing,
and generally’ the fourth or fifth day after
leaving the cell. Excepting in rare cases,
one impregnation answers for life. The
drone she has mated yvith dies immediately.
The eggs of an unimpregnated queen pro
duce nothing but drones ; and it is generally
conceded that impregnation does not affect
the drone progeny; consequently, the male
progeny’ of a pure Italian queen is pure with
out regard to the drone she has mated with.
The queen and worker are provided with
stings ;,but yvkile the latter will use it upon
any provocation, the former will only use it
on her own rank. The drones have no
stings.
One queen, as a rule, is all that is tolerated
in a hive ; but previous to throwing off “after
swarms,” two or more queens are permitted in
the same hive for a short time ; but the extra
ones are soon disposed of. In case of su
perseding a queen, the old one is preserved
until the new one is fitted to take her place.
Queens have a deadly hatred for each other,
and will destroy, if permitted, all queen
larvae or cells in the hive, and will fight each
other until there is but one living one left.
A frightened bee, or one filled with honey,
is not disposed to sting.
A good swarm contains about twenty
thousand bees.
A strong or medinm hive, with a good
laying qqeen, is never seriously troubled with
the moth yvorm, but a hive without a queen
or the means of raising one is sure to be
taken by them.
Bees recognize each other by their scent.
The first one or two yy’eeks of the young
bee’s life is spent inside the hive, as nurse
or wax worker. The range of a bee’s flight
for food is generally within two or three
miles, much greater range is of but little
benefit to them .-National Lire Stock Journal.
Ti mips.
Too early yet to plant any variety but the
Rutabagas : but is none too early to begin
preparation of land for this crop. When the
time comes to plant the seed the soil ought
to be perfectly clean—no undecomposed
yveeds or grass mixed with it and in the finest
possible tilth. The latter is absolutely’ essen
tial to the growth of a large crop. A rather
light, sandy soil is the best for the turnip,
and the richer tiie better. The old fashioned
plan of cow-penning a turnip patch, where
practicable, is as good as any r , if not the best.
Plough yvell, selecting a rather dry’ time,
before turning stock upon it. Every week or
ten days plough again (cross) —never plough
yvhen the ground is “ heavy ” “ and just before
time to plant, run smoother and harrow as
often as may be necessary to pulverize
thoroughly.
Lay r off shallow drills feet apart, put in
superphospate at the rate of 250 lbs per acre,
and bed up—not very high. At planting
time run a scantling ( rigged with shafts ) to
cut off the top and freshen the surface : do
this just after a rain or late in afternoon.
Make a shallow drill by running a light wheel
with V shaped edge along the freshened ridge,
drill the seed and cover by running the “scant
ling ” lightly over the beds again to cover,
and at the same time “ firm ” the soil, some
thing like a roller. This “ firming” is essen
tial to the germinating of the seed, if the
weather is dry. —Southern Cultivator for July.

A large wine-glass is 1 gill.
A large tablespoonful is half an ounce.
Forty drops are equal to one teaspoonful.
Four teaspoonfuls are equal to one table

The Preservation of Eggs.
The Journal de Pharmacie et de Chirnie
containes an account of some experiments
by M. 11. Violette,on the best method of pre
serving eggs —a subject of much importance
in France. Many methods had been tried;
continued immersions in lime water or salt
water ; exclusion of air by water, saw-dust,
etc., and even varnishing has been tried, but
respectively condemned. The simplicity of
the method adopted on many farms, namely,
that of closing the pores of- the shell with
grease or oil, had, however attracted the at
tention of the author, who draws the follow
ing conclusions from a series of experiments
on this method. Vegetable oil, more espe
cially linsecd x simply rubbed on the egg,
hinders an3' alteration for a sufficiently exten
sive period, and presents a very simple and
efficacious method of preservation, eclipsing
methods hitherto recommended or practiced.

Religion in the Family.
Christianity was evidently designed for
all classes of men, and should be the con
trolling power in all the conditions and re
lations of life. It contemplates all the mo
ral wants of man as an individual, and all
that pertains to him in his connection with
society". And especially is it adapted to the
family' relaiton, inculcating the only lessons
and principles by which were ever secured the
sanctified blessing of a Christion home. It
guards at every point the purity, the love,
the sacredness of such a home, and gives to
it a charm which no other place on earth has.
It recognizes the family as being instituted
by God, and teaches what are the dirties of
those who compose it. Fathers and mothers,
husbands and wives, children and servants,
these are all instructed in regard to their dis-
positions and deportment towards each other.
Now it is evident that a religion which so
recognizes the family, so particularizes its
different members, and instructs them in
their relative duties, should be cherished and
cultivated in every domestic circle. There
its lessons should be studied and learn
ed with the greatest assiduity and care.
The head of the family should make provis
ion for an habitual religious influence and
culture there. There should be a “family
altar” around which all may gather, and
with devout hearts supplicate the divine pro
tection and guidance, and express their
thanksgiving for the blessings which they
in common enjoy. Nothing tends more ef
fectually to prepare a household for the cares
and annoyances of the day, as the bowing
together before such an altar, and offering
up the morning prayer; nothing has more
power to sanctify and endear all the affec
tions and blessings of home. The remem
brances of such home in later years are
sacred, mingled with all the better feelings
of the soul. And yet we fear with all our
advancement in other things, there has been
a sad decline in regard to the religion of the
family within the past fifty years. But few
fathers comparatively, as we apprehend, gath
er their families around them for religious
instruction and conversation on the Sabbath
now. They leave this to Sabbath-school
teachers and others. And many, we are
sorry to say, do not have with their families
daily prayer. We are greatly in error if this
whole matter of family religion is not sadly
neglected even by members of the church.
It is one of the alarming deficiencies of the
age. Business engrosses time; men hurry
away to this without prayer in the moring,
and the soul of piety is neglected even if its
form be retained.— Zion’s Advocate.
“ Sometime-”
“ Do all you can for the conversion of my
chil Iren,” said an invalid father as he fol
lowed his pastor to the door.
“But how is it with you, my friend?”
questioned the young servant of God.
“ I will be honest with you, my dear pas
tor,” he replied. “At the age of twenty the
Spirit of God strove with me. My heart was
tender, and convictions for some days deep.
I felt sure that ‘ now was truly the accepted
time,’ and would prove the ‘day of salvation.’
I was ‘ almost persuaded ; ’ but I lingered to
count the cost. I was young; I could afford
to wait just a little while. I was gay, ming
ling daily in the society of those who seemed
to have no thought of the hereafter. Some
time the pleasures of life would have less
charms for me.
“ A few years passed, and again the Spirit
whispered gently, ‘ Come.’ ‘Go thy way for
this time,’ I said ; ‘ I will attend to that mat
ter soon.’ T was then in early manhood, my
mind busy with ambitious plans. The desire
of large possessions, increased comforts, and
worldly honors, drove away every serious
thought.
“ Once again the Spirit came, more gently
and sweetly than before; but then I was sur
rounded and hemmed in with business and
friends. My highest earthly hopes had been
realized. Nothing I sought had seemed to
be denied. ‘lt is impossible now to attend
to religion,’ I said ; ‘my family, my busi
ness, everything claims my whole attention.
When I have less to do, and I am enjoying
the quiet of old age, I promise to attend se
riously to the calls of conscience. Eternal
things shall then be all my care,”
“ But the grieved Sprit left me forever.
Nothing moves me now. There is no ten
der place in my heart but what is satisfied
with the love of earthly friends. I believe
in a God and a hereafter, but it is a belief
which brings no joy, no restful peace. I
stand upon the shore of the river, but the
passage will be a dark one. Save my chil
dren. if possible, from a fate So fearful.”
Affectionately the kind pastor labored with
him, but apparently without avail. And so
lie passed away, ere he had touched upon the
period of old age and anticipated rest.—
American Messenger.
Is There a God?
How eloquently does Chateaubriand reply
to this inquiry:
There is a God ! The herb of the valley,
the cedars of the mountain bless Ilim ; the
insect sports in His beams; the elephant
salutes Him with the rising orb of day ; the
tlmncler proclaims Him in the heavens ; the
ocean declares His immensity; man alone
has said, “ There is no God ! ” Unite at
thought at the same instant the most beauti
ful object in nature; suppose you see at
once all the hours of the day and all the
seasons of the year; a morning of spring
and a morning of autum ; a night bespan
gled with stars and a night covered with
clouds ; meadows ennobled with flowers, and
forest heavy with snow ; fields gilded by tints
of autumn ; then alone you will have a just con
ception of the universe. While you are gaz
ing on the sun which is plunging under the
vault of the west, another observer admires him
emerging from the gilded gates of the east.
By what inconceivable magic does that aged
star, which is sinking fatigued in the shade
of evening, reappear at the same instant,
fresh and humid with the rosy dews of morn
ing ? At every instant of the day the glo
rious orb is at once rising, resplendent at
noonday, and setting in the west; or rather
our senses deceive us, west, or north, or south
in the world. Everything reduces itself to a
single point, from whence the king of day
sends forth at once a triple light in one sub
stance. The bright splendor is perhaps that
which nature can present that is most beau
tiful ; for while it gives us an idea of the per
petual magnificence and resistless power of
God, it exhibits at the same time a shining
image of the glorious trinity !
Someone suggests that more seats should
be placed in the vestibules of churches for
the young men who come to walk home with
the young ladies, without wishing to attend
divine service themselves.

PROSPECTUS

PUBLISHED IN
JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA.
ny tle Jackson Coimly T*nl>lisliiiig-
Coinpsi 11 y,
Fully believing that the material and social inte
rests, not only of the people of Jackson, but of all
the contiguous counties, would be greatly enhanc
ed by the establishment of a printing office and
publication of a newspaper at the county site, a
number of citizens have associated themselves
together under the name and style of
“ The Jackson County Publishing Company
And propose issuing on the 12th of June, a paper
hearing the above title. Asa
Political Organ,
The “NEWS” will ever be found the exponent
and defender of a high standard of Democracy—
founded on those principles of State Rights and
State Sovereignty, which, though now fettered by
the chains of tyranny and despotism, are bound,
at no distant day—under the guidance of a benifi
eent Providence—to burst asunder the shackles of
imperious usurpation, and shining forth more
luminous and effulgent than ever, will add fresh
lustre to the political firmament of the “New
World.”
It will be the constant endeavor of those having
charge of the columns, editorially and otherwise,
of the “FOREST NEWS,” to make it a
“ryews-PAPER,”
In the broadest meaning and acceptation of the
term ; and in addition to the “General News of
the Day,” the state of the markets and other
commercial intelligence, in a condensed iorm, such
Political, Literary and Agricultural matter will be
introduced from week to week as will tend to
make the paper a most entertaining and welcome
guest in every family to which it may find access;
while, at the same time, the most scrupulous care
will be exercised in preventing the appearance in
the paper, of anything at which the most refined
and delicate taste could take offence.
Further detail is deemed unnecessary; suffice it
to say, that it is the intention, as far as possible,
of those having charge of this enterprise, to con
duct it in such a style—in manner and matter—as
to reflect credit on the people of Jackson as a
whole, and to confer honor on the “Grand Old
Commonwealth'" of which Northeast Georgia is so
important a part and parcel. Especial attention
will be given to the chronicling of
Liocal Events
And occurrences, and also to the dissemination of
such facts and statistics as will have a tendency
to dcvelopc the resources, mineral and otherwise,
not only of this immediate section, but of “Upper
Georgia” generally. Asa medium through
which to
ADVERTISE,
