POETRY. GENTLE WORDS. We are indebted to ft friend, says an ex chango, whose good taste and literary cul ture are too well known to need approval from us, for the following lines, which have lain embalmed in his for twenty years : The opening rose in Summer time Is lieautiful to me, And glorious the many stars That glimmer on the sea ; But gentle wools and loving hearts, And hands to clasp mv own. Arc belter than the brightest flowers, Or stars that ever shone. The sun may warm the grass to life, The dew, the drooping flower, And eyes grow bright and watch the light Of Autumn’s opening hour— But words that breathe of tenderness, And smiles we know are trite, Are warmer than the summer time, And brighter than tire dew. It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art; And gold and gem3 are not tlie things To satisfy the heart ; But, oh ! if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth Have gentle words and loving smiles, llow beautiful is earth ! For the Georgia Home. Journal. The Aimless Yoiiiib Man. The aimless young man is indeed pitiable. He lives only in the pres ent, having no memory of the past worthy of recall and no inspiring hope of the future. He is, para doxically speaking, a living dead man. In the towns and cities we find the largest class of these un fortunate characters. Let us look at one of them. We have pronounced him pitia ble, but, to say the truth, there is one quality about him which is real ly enviable—his serene content ment. He has’nt spirit enough in his corporeal nature to get up a discontentment. To him “life is but an empty dream,” and he is too much of a philosopher to bo rest less over its vanities. The sum total of his existence is corporeal gratification in its vari ous appetites. His earnings go for the means of this gratification.— Sumptuous food, stimulating drinks, liappifying cigars, the “la test agony” in dress, and lascivious indulgences not to be named, swal low his salary ere it is due. The word economy is not in his vocab ulary. The man who is economi cal, he disdains and' pronounces “stingy”. If he has money enough and no more to pay his laundress her monthly dues, he will turn the poor creature away to a more con 'venient season and appropriate his cash to the getting up of a grand ball. Material pleasure is his god, and his motto, “let me eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow I die.” He is practically ignorant that he has a mind and soul. He may read occasionly, but his diseased taste is impatient of anything save yellowback novels or sensational stories in the “Day’s Doings”, the “Jolly Joker” and other publica tions of like obscene character. From these he extracts the choicest vulgarisms and with a naivete, worthy of a polished scholar, deals them out to tire disgust of all the refined hearers he may chance to meet. He studies the science ot Oeometry practically at the billiard tatde; but, alter playing the game lor years, what was ©nee a science becomes and me- Bo pkys amt dice, fe*ft with ssucfe assocktes fefeafc fefee mem %a& iiff afiorded % fefe* fefe& wore tlan it is *o*fefe.

He is worse than I am, and only seems to be what he is M So wedded is he to his idols that he deems them essential to his exist ence and is skeptical of any man's ability to live a moral or temper ate life. As before intimated, there are young men, outside of this descript ion, who we aimless; but this class comprehends the greatest number of them, and there is not one of this class who is not aimless, Alas! how pitiable they are, fettered bv dissipation and the falsest notious of life! Coaid they, or rather would they, only think soberly for a mo ment of what they are capable of accomplishing b} r temperate, eco nomical nud industrious bubits, by the reading of authentic histories and other standard literature, by the mingling in the society of the good, and by the abandonment of their darling vices; surely they would reform. They would see a future. They would fix their eyes upon some bright particular star and aim at it, yea, many of them would attain it, and all would be bettered for having striven to at tain it. B. That Banquet to Grant. [From the Paris Gaulois.] It is not every day that one has a chance to attend an American lovefeast in busy Paris, and we can understand the eagerness with which sensation seekers rushed to purchanse tic kets for this one, at thirty francs apiece. Three hun dred and fifty persons were pres ent at the Grand Hotel last night. The American colony was out in force, commanded by Dr. Evans, its dentist-in-chief, and reinforced by a crowd of Parisians and stran gers. The dinner was far from be ing worth thirty francs ; Ihe spec tacle was cheap at double that sum. At half-past seven o’clock the ex cellent band of M. Gesgrange an nounced the entrance of General Grant with “Hail Commbia,” exe cuted slambang. The guests, who had been cool ing their heels and nursing their appetites in an ante-room, filed slowy down the steps of the spiral staircase to the great banqueting hall. There were pretty American women, in toilets perhaps the least bit eccentric, but redeeming this defect by the beauty of their bare arms and the gorgeousness of their diamonds. If I live a hundred years 1 never shall forget the spir- appearance of Mine. Mack ay (net income, five millions a month), nor the enjoyable grace of Mile. Hutchinson. We were all seated at the table in this immense hall, decorated with French and Ameri can Hags interblended. We were impatiently awaiting the soup and the Madeira - of 1825, when General Noyes, who presided, got up and signified by an impressive gesture that he wished to make a speech. “Gentlemen and ladies,” said he, “I call upon the Reverend Father Hitchcock to pronounce a blessing on these viands.” These unlucky words had hard ly escaped the General’s lips, when the Reverend Father Hitchcock in question popped up ou to his legs, as if impelled by a powerful spring. With closed eyes and forefingers pressed together, he implored the Divine blessing for a quarter of an hour, discoursing during that time upon progress, upon civilization, upon the brotherhood of nations, upon education, upon the Turco- Russian war—in short, upon every thing except the viands which he had been requested to bless. The Americans could not conceal their astonishment at such extraordinary eloquence from the Reverend Fa ther Hitchcock. The soup, the fish were cold ; the meats, blessed at such great length, consisted of one solitary boiled dish, and the butler did not bring on one-half the wines announced on the carte.— Several hungry people, who had bought tickets very dear at an agency, had the bad taste to de mand their money back.

HOME JOURNAL.' J. Knowles. Editor. Greenesboro,’ (la., FRIDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1877. AYE PROPOSE to furnish the Home Journal to all new advance paying subscribers, from this is sue, inclusive, to the first day of January 1879, for two dollars. -■ The New Volume. / * __ * 1 The first of January next will be J the sixtli anniversary of the Geor gia Home Journal. If we consid er the embarrassed condition.of the country, the depression of trade and scarcity of money, we are grati 'fied by the measure of success that has attended our labors to give the people a good family paper. From the encomiums passed upon our pet, at home and abroad, we are encouraged to labor more earnestly than ever to make tlie Home Jour ! nal worthy of their confidence and - | support. The great mass of the j people do not realize how impor j tant to the general welfare, pros ! perity and reputation of a com munity, is a well-conducted home ' newspaper. Hence it is that they do not extend to it a prompt and hearty support. We desire to commence the new year and new volume with large ac cessions to our subscription and advertising list. Permanently set tled in Greenesboro’, thoroughly identified with all that appertains to the prosperity, progress and civ ilization of the people of this fav ored section, we shall continue in the future, as in the past, with voice and pen, to labor to promote the best interests of all classes of our fellow-citizens. We call upon the intelligent and patriotic people cf Greene to stand by us and hold up our hands in this good work. We all have a common interest, let us unitedly labor for the common good. ELECTION NEWS. The great struggle is over, and we have the general results, from which we gather that the new Con stitution is adopted by a majority of 25 or 30,000 and Atlanta by a majority somewhat less, is retained as the permanent Capital of Geor gia. In regard to the vote on the Home dead, there is some doubt whether the old or new one has been adopted. The great issues involved in this important contest being settled, we trust all classes of our fellow citiz ens will unite in building up the interests of our arreat State. VOTE OF GREENE COUNTY.

Do not seek hap piness in what is misnamed pleas ure ; seek it rather in what is term ed study. Keep your curiosity fresh, and embrace every opportu-j uifcy of cultivating .your minds. Learn to make a right use of your eves; the commonest things are worth looking at—even stones and weeds, and the most familiar ani mals.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. [a synopsis.] Washington, December 3.—The president in his message congratu lates congress that the country is blessed with health, peace aud abundant harvests, and that there are encouraging prospects of an early return of general prosperitj-. The complete and permanent pa cification of the country continues to be, and must remain, the most important of al! our national inter ests. The me; .cures adopted were most iu harmony with the constitu tion and genius of our people and best adapted, under all circumstan- * ces, to attain the end iu view, and the beneficent Jesuits prove that; these efforts are not now regarded , as mere experiments, and should sustain and encourage us in our efforts. On the silver question, the president holds the ground that' both silver and gold ought to be 1 utilized in the currency of the coun-; try, but he does not agree with those who would undertake to leg islate that ninety or ninety-two cents' worth of silver shall pass or be received in place of one hundred cents’ worth of ipu. The public debt of the country was contracted j iu money of the world, and with the understanding that it should be paid, principal aud interest, in money of the world. He does not therefore favor any legislation that would force the creditors of the United States to receive in pay menfc of wliat is due them, any sil ver currency worth less than par in gold. The president declares his belief in the good policy of us ing both precious metals, but he states his opposition to any prop osition that, congress shall exercise the power given it by the constitu tion to coin money aud regulate the value thereof. He is in favor of making silver a liberal subsidiary coin with a legai tender limit some what greater than at present, but he is not in favor of making it an unlimited legal tender. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. In treating of civil service reform the president’s message repeats in substance the opinions expressed in his inaugural address. There is not much prominence given the subject. The condition of AFFAIRS ON THE RIO GRANDE froniier, as shown bv official reports received by the administration, is briefly described, and the consider ations which led to the order to the commanders of United States troops to cross the river when in full pursuit of raiders and punish them on Mexican soil are recited. While the president recognizes the delicacy of the position assumed by the government by the issue of that order, and is not unmindful of the fact that it may lead to serious international complications, he de fends it on the ground that in no other way could the lives and prop erty of our citizens be protected.- He disclaims any intention or de sire to provoke HOSTILITIES WITH THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC. The affaiis of the war, navy and post-office departments are not treated at much length in the mes sage. The recommendations of the heads of these departments are generally approved. The President vindicates his pol icy of withdrawing the army from the southern states, and favors ear ly resumption of specie payments. ■ % —lt has been said that to con quer is to advance. If, then, I loit er for one moment on the road to perfection, the world and the flesh get the better of me, and I turn back. God, besides, gives His grace in proportion to the efforts that I make. If I bury the talent that God confides to my care, He will take it away altogether; if I increase its value, Got! will double it Therefore I advance in wisdom in proportion as I advance in grace. These two things correspond, and ; form a circle. —The Christian must stand in a posture to receive every message : which God shall send, whether it ! be by His went spoken through the |reavher„ or any oilier. He must I lie so prepared as to be like one who is called tho set ©ant on a sudden journey, and has nothing to do but ! to set out at a moment's notice ; or iSkc a ffleeaclbadt wfeofta® gonads to seusl abroad* sand feastfeesu a! pack ed up ud m icadmaess for she skst sad— M- Ck erJL —God before- and above all thliags!! such cs the cfocanaiaamd, sm-k fc the law, ami our very season ac knowledges Sr. Every interest should be sacrificed!, evesy efeisza t£oo esincelLed, for the furtherance i of this supreme duty. You seek j Jesus, you look for consolation and joy of the soul; serve God, pray to Him, and you will thus come face to face with Jesus ; you will find consolation of spiritual joy. —Two things are necessary for true glory, power and bounty ; the former without the latter causes terror, the second without the first inspires contempt. Unite bounty j and power, and you will win admi ration ; add power to bounty, and you will win love. All the miracles that Jesus wrought were favors, j and all manifested His glory. —The Senate, by two majority, confirmed, on last Saturday the nomination of Col. Fitzsimmons, as U. S. Marshall, for Georgia. THANKSGIVING DAY, Although move generally obser ved on last Thursday than usual, received but little attention in this j State. We were sorry to see this, for all but downright infidels be lieve that there is an unseen Pow- 1 er which presides over the affairs of the Universe—carefully observes arranges, directs things of greatest minuteness as well as things of the greatest magnitude—“in whom we live and move and have our being.’ Now whilst the blessiugs of each succeeding day demand some trib ute of grateful acknowldgment,there are occasions when whole nations J should bow in humble adoration and thanksgiving, to “ the Giver of | every good and perfect gift.” “Let the people praise thee, 0! God ; let all the people praise thee, j O let the nations be glad and sing for joy : for thou shalt judge ! the people righteously, and govern | the nations upon the earth. Selah.! Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her in crease; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless ns, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.” Thus sung the king of Israel. It w'as upon this sublime and consoling conception of a God ob servant of human wants, woes and frailties, and able and willing to provide for them, that all benificent government, civil and ecclesiastical, rests. God in Nature—God in revela tion—God in Providence—God ev erywhere, and in everything. God over and around us, and within us —at our lying down and rising up; who spiest out our all out ways this we repeat is the grand con ception, which, through the Procla mations of our Federal and State Executives called us together on Thanksgiving day. What a grand moral spectacle was presented on this occasion! Millions of happy freemen, crowd ing their temples of whorship, and pouring forth their grateful songs to the God of heaven ! Nor should we be unmindful of the salutary change which has come over national affairs. Twelve months ago our political skies were overcast with dark and threatening clouds. In an unexpected way and hour they were spanned by the bow of promise and the waters of section al strife subsided into peaceful re pose. For this let us be thankful. May each recurring anniversary of this joyous festival find us a uni ted and grateful people! —The Augusta News announces the death of two of the oldest and most worthy citizens of that place —Messrs.
