S M Brooks, dec’d. JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., SATURDAY, NOY’R 20, 1875. miscellaneous Jlleillei). Thoughts for Saturday Night. Vi ortli begets in base minds envy ; in great souls, emulation. I rust not the world, for it never payeth that it promiseth. AA e ought not to judge men’s merits by their qualifications, but by the use they make of them, AA hen a man seems to be wise, it is merely that his follies are proportionate to his age. V oung men are apt to think tnemselves wise enough, as drunken men are to think themselves sober enough. Time will bring to light whatever is hidden ; it will conceal and cover up what is now shi ning with the greatest splendor. Mail}' do with opportunities as children do at the seashore—fill their little hands with sand and then let the grains fall through, one by one, till all are gone. Different minds incline to different objects. One pursues the vast alone, the wonderful the wild ; another sighs for harmony and grace and gentlest beauty. Thinkers are scarce as gold ; but he whose thoughts embrace all his subject, pursues it uninterruptedly and fearless of consequences, is a diamond of enormous size. Emerson says that every man is wanted, but is not wanted much. That may be so, but any woman who is not wanted much will deny that any man is ever wanted at all. Make not a bosom friend of a melancholy, sad soul. Ho will be sure to aggravate thy adversity and lessen thy property. He goes always heavily loaded and thou must bear half.* AYe may imitate the Deity in all 1 Tis attri butes. but mercy is the only one in which we can pretend to equal Him. AA e cannot, in deed. give like God ; but surely we may for give like him. Happiness depends on the prudent, consti tution of the habits : and it is the business of religion not so much to extinguish our desires as to regulate and direct them to valuable and well-chosen objects. AVkatever be M, e cause of happiness may also be likewise the cause of misery. The medicine which, rightly applied, has power to cure, has, when rashness or ignorance [ire scribes it, the same power to destroy. “ Come and See Me.” A writer says: Never take ‘•Come and see me” as a phrase meant in earnest unless it he accompanied with a date. Such an invi tation amounts to nothing at all. If a lady or gentleman desires your company he or she will appoint a time for your visit. “Call on me when you can make it convenient,” “Drop in as you are passing,” “Make us a visit when you have an hour or two to spare,” are social ambiguities by which in >n and women of the world understand tint lhay are not expected to do the thing requested. When people wish to be cheaply polit \ there is nothing like this kind of vagueness. The complimentary small change of society must always be taken at a large discount. If is never worth its face or anything like it. Yet it is a convenient medium of exchange, and heavy debts of gratitude that ought, to be required in better coin are often paid with it. People who have more polish than principle use it lavishly—plain, blunt, honest men sparingly or not at all. AA r hoover makes a friendly visit to a fashionable house on the strength of mere “Come and see me,” will very often find that the family circle he has dropped into by request is ns ungenisl as the Arctic circle, and lie will probably leave it with a chilly feeling that will prevent, him from venturing in the same high latitude again. But when a whole-souled man, whom you know to be your friend, grasps you vig orously by the hand and says : “Come and dine with me to-day —dinner on the table at 5 o’clock—be sure to come—we shall expect you,” you can take it as certain that your presence is warmly desired. It is pleasant always to make or receive a visit from a friend, but a nod on the st r eet, is all suf ficient from a fashionable acquaintance. |T!PA writer in the New York Herald states some facts about how horses should be shod, which are worthy the consideration of black smiths and farmers as well: Most of the horse-shoers of the country prepare the hoof, fit a shoe, and secure it to the hoof in the same manner that a wood-butcher fits a shoe to an old wood ox-sled. The mechanism of a horse’s hoof is one of the most wonderful and ingenious structures that can be found in all the works of the Creator. Beneath aTid in the rear of every hoof there is a frog, which is a tough and elastic pad for preventing in jury to the animal whenever he plants his foot on any hard substance. Large rolls of cylinders of India rubber are placed beneath railroad cars to prevent injury to any part of the car or to the cargo with which it is loaded. The frog beneath the foot of a horse is de signed to subserve a similar purpose. But the manner in which most horses are shod lift them up. as it were, on short stilts, so that the frog cannot perform its appropriate func tions. If we look carefully at the young horse when he is trotting or running, it will be per ceived that ever\' foot is brought to the ground in such a manner that the frog receives the powerful blow. By this means all injury to the animal is prevented. Science teaches us to permit the frog to develop and expand downward. But most blacksmiths seem to think that the Allwise Creator made a great mistake when he formed the hoofs of horses. Hence, they fall at the frog with red-hot burn ing irons, with edge tools, and with any oth er appliance thai will enable them to remove this extraneous excrescence. Illustrious nin nies. Why not shave and burn away all the tough, callous adipose tissue beneath their own heels, and allow the bare bones to rest on a plate of iron inside their own boots and shoes ? A woman cured her husband of staying out late at night by going to the door when he come home and whispering through the “key-hole, “Is that you, Willie?” Her hus band's name is John, and he stays at home every nsght now. and sleeps with one eye open and a revolver under his pillow. The “T. J.” at Last. Tiie Xewnan Star claims that Mr. Mars chalk of the Planter’s Advocate is the trained journalist of the state ; and he bases it on his history which is thus given in the Star: Fifty years ago, Air. Marschalk’s father was a poor young man just married, and got hold of a little type and an old press of the primitive kind, and got a little room to put it up in. Ilis wife lived in the office with him, did the cooking and washing there, and helped him at the case and press. He had no other assistance, and very little furniture, one bed, a couple of chairs, a skillet, and oven, and a little table furniture. Mrs. Marschalk’s confinement was rather pre mature, and the infant was wrapped in its swaddling clothes and laid upon the bed of the press as there was no other place to put it. The boy was raised up a printer and received no education whatever, except from his parents and the types. He says his father had forty-eight subscribers and four exchanges. The subscribers paid mostly in provisions, and the family relied upon * the legal advertising of the county and an occa sional job, for money to buy their clothing and pay for house rent,, and the Marsehalks were useful and valuable members of so ciety. The Responsibility. A young man had been sadly intemperate, lie was a man of great capacity, fascination and power; but he had a passion for brandy which nothing could control. Often, in his walks, a friend remonstrated with him, but in vain ; as often in turn, would lie in vain urge his friend to take the social glass. On one occasion the latter agreed to yield to him, and as they walked up to the bar together the bar-keeper said : “Gentlemen, what will you have?” “ AA ine, sir.” was the reply. The glasses were filled, and the two friends stood ready to pledge each other in renewed friendship, when he paused and said to his intemperate friend : "Now. if I drink this glass and become a drunkard, will you take the responsibility ?” The drunkard looked at him with severity and said : “Set down that glass.” It was set down and the two walked away without saying a word. Oh, the drunkard knows the awful conse quences of the first glass ! Even in his mad ness for liquor lie is not willing to assume the responsibility of any other one becoming a drunkard. Mrs. Joblink’s Experience. “AYhon I first jined the church,” said an A street matron yesterday, as she leaned out of the window, speaking to a younger and sc vercr-looking female, “I had jest them kind of notions myself. But I got more light as 1 growed older." “But. Mrs. Joblink.” said the other, “duty is duty, and each must act out his mission.” “ Yes.” rejoined Airs. Joblink. patronizingly, “that’s jest the way I used to feel till I got married. AA’hen you have a husband coming home nights an’ failin’ up stairs you won’t think the Lord requires so much of you. I used to pray for Joblink till he started in to make a stump speech to the hat rack at three o’clock in the morning, an’ then I got. more light. The Lord helps them as helps them selves. an’ 1 find now that a metal-hacked hair brush does better with Joblink than all the prayers you can shake a stick at. You'll see when you get married.” The younger lady sighed and inquired if there were any poor people in the neighbor hood who would be benefited by a tract on “The Sin of Dancing.” —Virginia Cti>j Chron icle. Watching One’s Self. “ When I was a boy,” said an old man, “we had a schoolmaster who had an odd way of catching the idle boys. One day he called out to us : “Boys, I must have closer attention to your books. The first one that sees another idle I want you to inform me, and I will attend to the case.” “ Ah !” thought I to myself, “there is Joe Simmons, that I don't like. I'll watch him and if l see him look off his book I'll tell.” “ It was not long before I saw Joe look off his book, and immediately I informed the master. “ Indeed,” said he, “and how do you know he was idle?” “ I saw him,” said I. “You did? And were your ej’es on your book when you saw him?” “ I was caught, and never watched for idle bovs again.” If we are sufficiently watchful over our own conduct, we shall have little time to find fault with the conduct of others. Wheat Bran for Milch Cows. Cows that give milk require feed that abounds in albuminous matter, in order to be able to maintain a satisfactory flow of rich milk. —Buckwheat bran will produce about as large a quantity of milk as wheat bran. But the milk made by feeding buckwheat bran will be thin and poor, and much infe rior to the milk which a cow gives when her feed is composed largely of wheat bran which contains a large amount of albuminous mat ter. But wheat bran undergoes a great im provement by being cooked before it is fed. Agricultural chemists tell us that bran con tains more than fourteen per cent, of albumen, which is an excellent feed for making rich milk. Besides this wheat bran contains about three per cent, of phosphoric acid, which is an excellent article in the line of fertilizing materials for producing bountiful crops of any kind of grain or vegetables. When a man lias only one or two cows, it will always be profitable to scald the bran before feeding to the cows. Let a few quarts be put into a tub and boiling hot water turned in and min gled with it until the mass is as thin as gruel; then allow it to stand over night, or during the day, covered closely. A good cow, fed with such a mass and prime hay, will roll out the rich milk, almost as abundantly as if she were fed on grass provided she have a comfortable shed, or stable, in cold weather.— Bonham's Messenger-. FACTS AND FANCIES. An independent fortune will be the reward of the man who will invent a self-wiping nose for use in cold weather. A woman purchasing sonic cups and sau cers was asked what color she would have. “ AAJiy, I ain’t particular," said she; “ any color that won’t show dirt.” Shakspeare said, “There is a tide in the affairs of men,” but it appears to be pretti much all tied back in the affairs of women.— Norristoivn Herald. “ The hardest trial of my life.” said good old Deacon Banes, “ was to shed tears at the news that my wife’s uncle had died and left $60,000.” Lady to waiter—“ Don't put that ice into the goblet with your fingers.” Waiter—“ Lor. ma’am, I don’t mind, my hands arc very warm.” A young lady asking a AA'i 11 iamsportyoung man in a music store, "Have you happy dreams ?” was astonished when lie replied, “ No, ma’am, I’m mostly troubled with the nightmare.” I hey have found a petrified Mormon in Utah, and, from the number of dents in the head, evidently made with a poker and fiat iron, it is judged that he had at least thirty three wives.— Norristown Herald. “ Union is not always strength,” is what a man said to the bar-keeper this morning, who seemed to be putting an undue quantity of water into the cocktail he was mixing. A AA'estern newspaper thus sings a funeral hymn: “Now we miss the gay muskeeter, and his cheerful song at night: the cruel frost did make him peter out, and weaken in the fight. Gone to meet the Kansas grasshop per.” “ Bob,” said a Camden boy to a playmate, “your father’s just been killed.” “No!” said Bob. “ A'es. sir, blown up by a steam boiler,” answered the other. “By gum, he’s got my knife, too, ’ exclaimed Bob, thrusting his hands in his pockets. The editor of the Bowmanville Standard had a man fined ten dollars for throwing an ink bottle at him. Act this editor has been slinging ink at everybody else for years— only he didn’t sling it bottled up. A lady whose husband has an unpleasant habit of railing at her, has hit upon the plan of calling in her servants when he begins to let his temper rise, and then turning to him and saying sweetly, “ Now, my dear, please go on with 3 r our remarks." He doesn’t go on —at least, not as he began. . It will certainly shorten your life, Harry, if you continue to smoke so much.” “I don’t know that,” replied the gentleman, “ there’s my father who smokes every blessed day, and now he’s seventy years of age.” “ Well,” was the reply, “ if he hadn’t smoked he might have been eighty.” A certain colored deacon, on occasion of missionary collections, was wont to shut his eyes and sing: “Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, ’* with such earnestness and unction that he would quite forget to see the plate as it came around. “ Oh, yes !“ said the plate bearer, “ but just you give something to make it fly.” A lady, thinking it time for her little girl to put away childish things, informed her that Santa Claus was a “made-up” person— that there was no such person at all, upon which the child, with becoming solemnity, asked, “Mamma, have you been telling me lies about Jesus Christ, too ?” Briefly stated, our financial views are these? Tiebacks are better than greenbacks. They are in greater demand ; they are more con stantly in circulation ; they are always boy ant, dreadfully bovant; they are always good for their face, and are always quoted above par, or mar either. —Burlington Hawk eye. John Henry came home late the other night, and as lie entered the darkened room Mrs. Henry exclaimed : “ Darling Peter, I'm so glad you’ve come.” Now, John, who has faith in his wife, says that this is playing it rather low down on a man in these ministerial days. —Cincinnati Times. Vt hen a man is chopping kindling and a stick with a ragged edge takes him between the eyes, he hurls the hatchet far away, nurses his head with one hand, and hops around as if he had the spring-halt in his right leg. All his physical agony is nothing compared to his inexpressible feelings when his wife pokes her head into the wood-shed and mildly in quires. “Richard, are you hurt ?"— Titusville Herald. A party of young men were conversing last night, when one, who is always propounding conundrums, asked, “What is the first com mandment?” A student, evidently of the bible, answered: “Look not upon the wine when it is red within the cup.” The boys all said he was right. No and Yes. The following poem appeared, originally, in the Allantic Monthly. I watched her at her spinning ; And this was my beginning Of wooing and winning. But when a maid opposes. And throws away your roses,#* You say the case forecloses. Yet sorry wit one uses, Who loves and thinks he loses, Because a maid refuses. For by her once denying She only means complying Upon a second trying. When first I said, in pleading, “ Behold, my love lies bleeding !” She heard me half unheeding. When afterwards I told her And blamed her growing colder— She dropped upon my shoulder. Bail I doubt? That quelled it, Her very look dispelled it. I caught her hand and held it. Along the lane I led her, , And while her cheeks grew redder, I sought outright to wed her. Good end from bad beginning ! My wooing came lo winning—. And still f watch her spinning.
