It is marvelous that a boy’s fortune should turn upon a horse-shoe, and yet* for many of us, some Of the greatest events of our lives have turned upon as small a pivot. Even in the humblest lives little opportunities lie con cealed all along the way like fairy doors which, when the right spring is touched, will fly open, revealing a most glorious future. One fair summer’s day, a distinguished looking gentleman might have been seen rid ing in his carriage along a country road in Ulster county, New York. His name was Aaron Burr; not the despised and hunted Aaron Burr we read of now; he was then Senator Burr, one of the most talented and highly esteemed men in our country. He was not an evil-looking man; on the con trary, his was a kindly, pleasant face, lit up with brilliant, black eyes. But, about the horse shoe : As he was driv ing rapidly along one of his horses lost a shoe, and he stopped at the next blacksmith shop to have it replaced. It was a lonely country place, and. while the blacksmith was at work. Burr strolled through the woods and fields that lay around. Returning, he noticed upon the side of a table near the shop, a sketch in charcoal of his own carriage and horses. He was startled at first, it was so wonderfully accurate and spirited. He knew, too, that it must have been executed in a very few minutes, and he stood for some time gazing at it in admiration. Turning around, at length, he noticed a hoj r a little wav off dressed in coarse homespun. “Whodid that?” said Burr, pointing at the picture. “ I did it,” said the bov. The Senator was astonished. Entering in to conversation, he discovered that the boy, though ignorant, was intellectual. He also discovered that this young artist had never had any instruction in drawing, and that he wa3 apprenticed to the blacksmith for six months. Burr wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and said as he wrote : “My boy you are too smart a fellow to stay here all your life. If eve# you should want to change your employment and see the world, just put a clean shirt in your pock et, go to New York, and go straight to that address !" handing the boy the paper. A child's intuitions are quick, and as the boy gazed into the kindly face bent down to his, he felt that he had won a friend he could love and trust. The traveler’s horses now being read}', he mounted his carriage and was out of sight in a moment, while the bewildered boy returned to his work in the blacksmirh’s shop. He treasured the precious bit of paper though, and many a day as he worked the black smith’s bellows that fanned the glowing em bers, he built up golden dream-castles, while brave, ambitious thoughts leaped up in his heart as the flames leaped up from the vivid coals. Months passed away and these circum stances had nearly faded away from the busy Senator's mind. In his beautiful home at Richmond Hill, he was sitting at breakfast one morning with his daughter Theodosia.— It was upon this daughter, Theodosia, so lovely, so pure, so gentle, that Aaron Burr lavished the wealth of a soul overflowing with secret tenderness. Long after his fall from power, she. it is said, was the solitary star shining With beautiful lustre over the rough and darkened pathway of his life. It was on this memorable morning that a servant entered the breakfast-room, and placed in Colonel Burr’s hand a small paper parcel, saying it was brought by a boy who was waiting outside. Theodosia gazed on wonderingly as her father opened the parcel and found “ a coarse, country-made, clean shirt.” Of course the}' both laughed merrily over it, and Burr, supposing it to be some mistake, ordered the boy to be shown in. Who should enter then but our genius of the roadside, blushing in confusion. B3 r the elegance of the room, and the presence of the beautiful daughter, he was still more abash ed, but the face of his friend reassured him. Very modestly he placed in his hand a piece of worn paper, the one he had treasured for so many months. As Burr traced the almost illegible words he recognized his own hand writing, and anew light flashed over his face. Taking the child's trembling hands in his qwn, he gave him such a welcome as only warm, generous hearts know how to give.— Then presenting the lad. to his daughter, he told her his sUny. Theodosia gave him her hand at once, for she was as much pleased with him as was her father. From that hour, the boy was loved and cared for as one of the family. lie was ed ucated and placed under the best of masters in the art he had shown such a talent for.— Nor was this enough ; Yanderlyn, for that was the bo3 T ’s name, was afterwards sent to Europe b3 r Burr, where he spent five 3*ears in the stwty of painting, until he became, it is said, an artist worthy of the name. Years and years afterwards, when Burr was wandering in Europe a poor and lonely exile, Yanderlyn was exhibiting pictures at the Louvre. Paris. He had not only been presented with a gold medal b3 r Napoleon, but was receiving compliments and congrat ulations from the Emperor's own lips. Ilis cup of joy seemed almost full. It was then that he heard that his benefactor was in Paris, and he hastened to give him as warm a wel come as he himself had received one winter’s morning so long ago. I wish I could tell about the meeting of those two; the poor, old man, bowed down with disgrace, and the grateful, and now famous 3*oung artist whom he himself had uplifted from a blacksmith’s little drudge at the roadside. We only know that it must have been most jo3*ful and most sorrowful. We also kuow that Vandel3*n gave his old friend all the help he could. In after years he returned to America, and was commissioned b3* Congress to paint one of the panels of the Capitol at Washington, one of the highest honors his country could bestow upon him. He executed here one of his most famous pieces, his well-known “Land ing of Columbus.” He also painted portraits of Aaron Burr and daughter. lie died a few 3’ears ago at Kingston, not far from the spot where he drew the charcoal sketch which de cided his fortune. As for Aaron Burr, the wa3* of the trans gressor is hard, but the Lord is more merciful than man. In his old age, Burr was hated b3* the countr}* that had once loved him, he was loft homeless, almost friendless, but he was not left desolate. The bread cast upon the waters in his happier da3*s all returned to him. As he had once loved to care for and shelter the poor and homeless, so he himself, in his last days, was sheltered and cared for tenderly. Anew definition of an old maid is—a wo man who has been made for a long time. THE FARM. CIRCULAR ' State of Georgia, ) Department of Agricultt rk. V Atlanta, Ang. 17, 1875. ) It is the desire of commissioner of agricul ture to exhibit, at the fair to be held under the auspices of the Georgia State Agricultu ral society, at Macon, Georgia, commencing on the 18th of October next, and continuing five days, samples of all the products of Geor gia soil. The design is to exhibit, in one collection, the great variety of agricultural and horticul tural productions of all sections of our state. This is an enterprise in which every Georgian is interested, and to which each should be proud to contribute. You are therefore earnestly requested to collect and forward to Macon, addressed to T. J. Janes, care of M. Johnson, secretary of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, sam ples of the products of your section, distinct ly labeled with the name and post-office ad dress of the producer, the quantity he has for sale, if any, and a brief statement of the time of planting, mode of culture, or manu facture, etc. AH except perishable articles should be shipped so as to arrive at Macon by the 15th of October; perishable products, such as vegetables and fruits, by the 18th. Growing plants may be shipped in suitable jars, or boxes, securely packed. Selections will be made by the commis sioner, from this display, of suitable samples for permanent exhibition in the office of the department of agriculture, at the Capitol. The state geologist will co-operate with the commissioner of agriculture in securing a complete illustration of the resourses of Georgia, and will exhibit in the same build ing samples of forest products, and mineralo gical specimens from all sections of the state. All Georgians are invited to contribute to this display, and the correspondents of the department of agriculture are especial ly re quested to see that their counties are properly represented. Samples of goods, models of machinery, and implements of Georgia manufacture, are also solicited. Anything which will illustrate the industry or resources of our grand old state will be received in this display, which the commissioner hopes will be worthy of Georgia and Georgians. TnoMAS P. Janes. Commissioner of Agriculture. FALL SOWN CABBAGES FOR SPRING USE. “What variety of cabbage in point of size, hardiness and earlines9, is the best to plant, in this latitude, during the months of Sep tember or October as recommended by Mr. White in “Gardening for the South,” for an early and saleable spring product ? Is there any variety, planted as Mr. White suggests, that will withstand onr severe winter freezes without any protection whatever, except the ridges made by the plough ? Please refer to page 193 “Gardening for the South” and answer in next number of Cultivator, which in my estimation is the best, most practical, useful and reliable agricultural periodical in America.— Gardener, Atlanta, Ga.,July 10 th 1875.” We have tried the experiment several times, of bringing fall sowed cabbages through the winter, to have early spring heads, but with partial success only. The difficulty has not been in their perishing from the cold, but in their running to seed instead of heading. If well hilled up so as protect their sterns, they are seldom injured by cold. The stem is the most vulnerable point. Several years ago we sowed seed in the fall, on the north side of a board fence—the plants were allow ed to remain in the same situation until spring, then taken up and transplanted. The result was early and fine heads. Unfortunate ly we have no memoranda of date of sowing the seed or of the particular variety planted. In the fall of 1870 we sowed seed of early Jersey Wakefield on the and on the sth October, put them out in trenches as describ ed by Mr. White. They came safely through the winter, but every one ran up to seed in stead of heading. Last fall we sowed seeds of Mammoth Marblehead, August 7th, and Savoy and early Dutch, August 29th, and set them out on the 20th October. Most of these came through the winter safely, but only the Marblehead Mammoth headed firmly, and these not until the last of June.— Ed, So. Cultivator , (J The Capabilities of an Acre of Ground. J. M. Smith, a market gardener at Green 8a3% Wis.. furnishes some interesting state ments of his experiments in high culture. He has found the rule invariable, not a single exception to it, that the more he has spent cultivating and manuring the greater have been the net profits per acre. Last season he cultivated fourteen acres, and began with a more thorough and expensive cultivation than ever before. The result was that, al though there was a “terrific drought,” one of the dryest seasons ever known in that region, after spending $3,976, or s*2B4 per acre, he had a better balance than for an3 r previous year. He appears to regard coustant cultivation, through droughts, in connection with copious manuring, as all-important. Stable manure is the standard, with such use of superphosphates, plaster, lime, ashes and other manures as experience and good sense point out. “After 3’ou have learned how to spend raone3 T to the best advantage,” he re marks, “a large profit ma3* be made by lay ing out S3OO per acre than with less. After the secoud year if your land does not pay all its expenses, taxes and ten per cent, on SI,OOO per acre, there is something wrong some where. I have some acres of land that did not pa3* expenses for two years, but for a num ber of years past have not failed to pay ten per cent, on at least $2,000 per acre. I ex pect my whole garden to do more than that in a short time.” He adds that he is now aiming at 1,000 bushels of onions per acre, th£n a crop of carrots or turnips, or 500 bushels of earl3* potatoes ; or, if strawberries, 12,800 quarts, or 400 bushels per acre. L-ip’The New York Bulletin sa3 T s : “There are a good many southern and western mer chants in the markets, and the leading dry* goods jobbers are busily engaged in forwarcb ing well assorted stocks of merchandise to remote sections of the country. The indica tions are that the demand for goods from southern biyers will be larger than for sev eral previous 3 T ears, while the outlook in oth er respects is favorable to a more spirited general trade during the incoming month.” A fanner in a hurry to make money is bound to be disappointed. A farmer inde pendent about his pile, so he keeps out of debt and lives like a fighting-cock on the produce of his farm, will also be disappoint ed, in finding himself with picnt\* of funds. SUNDAY READING. “Thanh God Tor Sunday.” Now, God be thanked! That he has given— Best boon to saint and sinner— A day of rest —one day in seven, Where toil is not the winner; Rest for ihc tired and jaded brain, The wearied hand, on Sunday, That they might gather strength again For toil renewed on Monday. The merchant, in his counting, room, The clerk, o’er desk and ledger, The artisan, at forge or loom, The ditcher and the hedger— The laborer, who must toil and slave, From early dawn of Monday, Until the week sinks in its grave, All cry : “Thank God for Sunday,” The day that lifts the weighty chain Which all the week hath bonnd us; That respite gives to heart and brain, From a thousand cares around us ; That in the toilsome march of life, Thus bids us take, for one day, Rest from the battle and the strife; Oh ! God be thanked for Sunday ! If thus by all one day of rest Be hailed, as respite solely, How to the Christian doubly blessed Must be the Sabbath holy; As, in faith's light he lifts his eyes To that bright world, one day, He longs to spend beyond the skies, One blest, eternal Sunday! The Religion we Want. We want a religion that bears heavily not only on the “exceeding sinfulness of sin,” but on the exceeding rascality of lying and steal ing ; a religion that banishes small measuras from the counters, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay from the paper, sand from the su gar, chickery from the coffee, allum from the bread, and water from the milk cans. The religion that is to save the world will not put all the big strawberries at the top and all the little ones at the bottom. It will not mak? one half a pair of shoes of good leather, so that the first shal l redound to the maker’s credit and the second to his cash. It will not put .Toyin's stamp on Jenkins’ kid gloves; nor make Paris bonnets in the backroom of a Boston milliner shop ; nor let a piece of vel vet, that professes to measure twelve yards, come to an untimely end in the tenth. It does not put bricks at five dollars a thousand into chimneys it contracts to build with seven dollar material ;nor smuggle white pine into floors that have paid for hard pine ; nor leave yawning cracks in closets where boards ought to join. The religion that is going to sanctify the world, pa}*s its debts. It does not consider that forty cents returned from one hundred cents given, is according to the gospel, though it ma} r be according to the law. It looks on a man who has failed in trade, and who continues to live in luxury, as a thief. —-The Christian. Ashamed to Swear Alone. Why is it that the most blasphemous oaths are always in a crowd ? The profane swearer would not dare to go into his private cham ber and utter those horrid imprecations. No, no, he wants them to be heard and laughed at, It is the greatest of cowardice to swear in a crowd ; what yon would not do in se cret. “I will give you $10,” said a man to a profane swearer, “if you will go into the village graveyard at 12 o'clock to-night, and swear the same oaths you have just utter ed, when you are alone with God.” “Agreed,” said the man, “an easy way to make $10.” “Well, come to-morrow and say you have done it, and the money is yours.” The time passed on ; midnight came. The man went into the graveyard. It was a night of great darkness. As he entered tire grave yard not a sound was hoard ; all was still as death. Then came the gentleman’s words to his mind with power—“ Alone with - God!” rang in his ears. Afraid to take another step he fell on his knees and cried, “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Tides of Grace. Tides of grace, as of opportunity, are to be taken at the flood. The Pentecost sun went down on a church born in a day. Not here lies the wonder, but in this, rather that we think it wonderful; that we see so few times of rapid ingathering and large God ward movements of men which can at all compare with it. Thank God, some have been seen. Would you have more ? Then note these two things—that ten days of stead fast, expectant prayer, in which every believ ing soul took part, preceded Pentecost; and that it was when the church had first been filled with heavenly assurance, joy and praise, that the testimony of her first preacher won the hearts of thousands. Lessons! These are the lessons : The Spirit works when we, beg him to work; and the ingathering to the church holds ever a strict proportion to the life of the church. Christians are the foun tain fed from Christ, out of which dead souls around are to be quickened ; but not till they run over. As we would have the world con verted, let us seek for the church overrunning life. — J. 0. Dyke. Honey from the Scripture. Do not think it enough if yon learn to spell and to read, and to sa} r the words of Scripture, but seek to learu the truths of Scripture. Do as the bees do. A bee when it sees a flower does not fly round and round it, and sip it aud then off again like a folish, idle butterfly. It settles on the flower and then sucks the hone}' out of it. You should do as the bees do—you should settle your thoughts on what you read, and try to suck the honey out of it. Almost every verse in the New Testament has its honey. Almost every verse contains a spiritual truth fit to nourish some soul or other.—[ Maria Hare. Getting Ready to Leave Church. If, instead of the closing anthem, some of the ministers should, at the close of the ser vice, give the orders, “Attention, worshippers ! for hats dive ! for overcoats go ! jerk, twist, plunge ! make yourselves ridiculous all!” the effect would be a variation from the present style of going out of church. The singing of the doxology seems the signal for a general putting on and adjustment, and when the bene diction is about to be pronounced, the ruffled congregation look more like jumping out of the windows or uniting in a crushing or crowd ing race for the doors than listening to the solemn words of the good pastor. At one of our well-filled churches on Sunday evening it was observed that every third man was going through these ridiculous motions while the service was closing, although the sermon had been excellent. Why do not people wait un til the proper time for these things ? There is a time for everything but the time does not always occur during church service. The Roll Call in Heaven. An incident is related by a chaplain who was in the army during one of our hard fought battles: The hospitals had been filling up fast as the wounded men had been brought to the rear. Among them was a young man mortally wounded and unable to speak. It was mid night, and many a loved one from our homes lay sleeping on the battle-field —that sleep that knows no waking nntifJesns shall call for them. The surgeons had been their rounds of duty, and for a moment all was quiet. Sud denly this youug man, before speechless, called out in a clear voice, “here !*’ The surgeon hastened to his side and asked him what he wanted. .“Nothing,” said he, “they are calling the roll in heaven, and I was an swering to my name.” He turned his head and was gone —gone to join the great army, whose uniform is washed white with the blood of the Lamb. Reader, in the great roll call of eternity, your name will be heard, can you answer “here ?” Are you one of the soldiers of Christ, the great captain of salvation ? A Reflection. —It should be remembered that every loathsome inmate of penitentiaries and State prisons was once a gentle, inoffen sive and prattling child, and that every crimi nal who has “expiated his crimes upon the gallows, J ” was once pressed to a mother’s heart, and drew his life-long nourishment from her bosom. Bad moral training and debasing examples transform endearing off spring into ferocious men, who shock humani ty by the foulness of their guilt and the mon strous audacity of their crimes.

J., having been of counsel in the fol lowing case, did not preside. Hoyt, CaTlton & Cos., vs, Glenn & Wright—Me chanic’s Lien, from Fulton. WARNER, C. J. This was a proceeding to foreclose a laborer’s lien under the provisions of the act of 1869. The plaintiffs alleged in their affidavit that they were laborers and mechanics, and that the defendants were indebted to them $662.92 for labor perform ed, and for materials furnished in the making and construction of certain four cotton and hay press es, and other presses of the same kind, the proper ty of defendants. The defendants made a motion to dismiss the case on the ground that the plain tiffs had not alleged in their affidavit that the labor was performed by them, or cither of them, who claimed to have a lien on the property there fore. The Court sustained the motion and dis missed the case; whereupon, the plaintiffs ex cepted. The plaintiffs allege in their affidavit that the defendants are indebted to them the amount stated therein, for labor performed, etc. For labor performed by whom? The plaintiffs do not allega that the labor was performed by them, or either of them, for which they claim the lien on the defendants’ property under the statute. Ac cording to the previous rulings of this Court, the plaintiffs were only entitled to a lien under the act or 1869 for labor performed by themselves, and for materials furnished, and as the statute should be strictly construed, there was no error in dis missing the plaintiffs’ case on the statement of facts disclosed in the record.
