GREENESBORO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 1,1883. SELECTED POETRY. A SERMON IN RHYME. If you have a friend worth loving. Love him—Yes, and let him know That you love him, ere life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow. Why should good words ne’er lie said Of a friend till he is dead ? If you hear a song that thrills you, Sung by any child of song, Praise it—do not let the singer Wait, deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you may impart ? If you hear a prayer that moves you. By its humble, pleading tone. Join it—Do not let the seeker Bow> before his God alone. Why should not your brother share The strength of “two or three” iu prayer? If you see the hot tears falling From a sorrowing brother’s eyes, Share them—and, by sharing, Own your kinsiiip with the skies. Why should anyone be glad When a brother s heart is sad ? If a silvery laugh is rippling Through the sunshine on his face, Share it—’tis the wise man's saying— For hotli grief and joy a place. There’s health and goodness in the mirth' In which an honest laugh has birth. If your mirth is made more easy By a friendly helping hand. Say so—Speak out brave and truly, E’re the dar.eness veil the land. Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of cheer? Scatter thus your seeds of kindness, All enriching as you go; Leave them—Trust the Harvest Giver, He will make each seed to grow. So until its happy end Your life shall never lack a friend. “THIS OUR BROTHER.” A WAY TO SOLVE THE NE GRO PROBLEM. A SENSIBLE COMMUNICATION BY A SEN SIBLE MAN AS TO WHAT SH ILL BE DONE WITH THE DARKIES—THEIR MENTAL AND MORAL STATUS. Editors Home Journal. Iu the February number of Lip pincott’s Magazine appeared a pa per with the above heading from the pen of Louise Seymour Hough ton, written in true, vigorous Eu glisli, and evincing that the writer is a shrewd observer, possessed of good nature aud good sense. I ant inclined to suspect that her com positors are at fault in not placing an interrogation point after these three words of her caption ; for, after reading her impression of how the Negro appeared to her on the Peninsular of Florida, one can not think that the question must have arisen in her mind as to whether this lazy, thriftless, steal ing, lying, setni-savage which she thus portrays is in fact a brother human of the Caucasian. What notion of the negro' this lady had entertained beforo her visit to Florida she does not say. It may be tliat, like many women of the Mrs. Jellvby order, she re garded him as a hopeful and inter esting subject upon which to ex pend her civilizing energies. This being the case, there is special and telling pertinency in the first word of the title of her essay. This, our brother, as viewed from the shores of Florida, is quite a different in dividual from that our brother, as be is seen iu Florida, from the shores of Massachusetts. The fair author saw the Florida darkey as he is, and owns it with more can dor than most Northern tourists, that she discerns no brilliant future for the African in the half-tropical climate of the land of flowers. She says that under the regime of free dom be will not work and he will steal, and that she knows no influ ence that can now be brought to bear upon him that will make him do the one or quit doing the other. During the summer and autumn months his subsistence is precari ous in the ext erne. The sponta neous fruits, and the occasional raids upon the fields of his white neighbors are his sole resources against starvation. But the hard ships which he has to bear from improvidence during one year does not stimulate him to provide ag ainst similar suffering in the year following. The dimes and half dollars which he picks up during winter by doing little services for rich tourists, are not husbanded, but are spent to gratify any whim of the moment. He lives for to day, having a happy confidence that he will be provided for in some way to morrow. He enjoys, too, according to onr authoress, the happiest lack of scruple about appropriating to his use the products of such chicken coops and potato patcl et as may be in his way. Though greatly devoted to religion—much of his time being given to it as if it were a business—it is a religion from which morality is to a groat extent eliminated. The exhortevs and shouters at their frequent gather ings for worship, do not hesitate about violatingthe three commands of the decalogue which respect the relations between men. Education makes some difference in this par ticular. The more cultured of their preachers are of respectable mor ality ; but of the masses, the one professing most religion is the greatest rascal. Such is the description given by a shrewd observer of the fiOcdman, as he exhibits himself on tue Pe ninsular of Florida. Though many of us may never have visited this portion of our territory, yeTcomiug in daily contact with him v’. s. recog nize the picture as draw^jJ*'' o '"* l I life. “The gentlemen fcv £ very much the sane Southland. Iu the /tropical climate of Florida bp can tfve with less work than lie can further north. The yearly influx of Northern tou lists, sympathizing as they do with the darkey in his destitute condi tion, serves to modify ! is habits to some extent. BtiTit must be written of the negro everywhere, that without the stimulus of the white mtiu’s influence' he will not work. Put off into colonies into whose precincts the fort <>f the Eu ropean does not intrude, and the African will present the same pic ture of idleness and shiftlessness in Georgia or Tennessee that he does in Florida. In .higher lati tudes many of them do work, and not a few accumulate property ; but this is owing to their inter course with the whites. It would be difficult, I suspect, to find in all our Southern States a single Negro owner of property whe has not be come so through the help or en couragement of the white man. That passion for display which makes him so eagerly covet fiue clothes, or a horse or a buggy, is excited and kept stimulated through his organ of imitatioli by contact with the white people. If it were not thus kept stimulated by the presence of the white man, his fond ness for t iding or dress would not incite him to any pr tracted exer tion. It is also true nf the average fretdiuan, roiith, tbC.though emi nently roligiims. hivteligion is al most i mt .in fluencing to any itusiderable-cx tout his daily lifefr'Against some immoralities We is very decided. The young church-member must not allow iiis animal spirits to lend him “to do the double shuffle,” or even to sing a corn song. He must, too, bit especially careful to refrain from certain profane words; but on some more essential points of morality he may boas lax as he pleases. His brethren will not discount the sincerity of bis pray ers or the fervor of his “aniens” on Sunday by knowing that on the night before he invaded the poultry yard or the melon patch of bis white neighbor. Nor will they distrust his piety though he wear the bonds of matrimony ever so loosely. That happy lapse of memory which be trays him into telling the thing that does not in the slightest degree bring Ids profession into disrepute. I would not, by any means, be understood ns asserting that all members of the colored race steal, lie and commit adultery. There are those, I dare say, in every com munity, who are free from these vices. I hope the number of them is on the increase. Education, which has done so much for other races, will not, let us hope, be thrown away on the colored man. This is his hope, aud if it fails to raise him in the scale upwards his case is hopeless. For one I would have been pleas ed to know what this candid and acute observer of “this our brother” would have to say by way of specu lation us to his future. She will be forced to admit that the unpre cedented exertions that have been made within the past few years for his civilization have resulted iu comparative failure. Should these effoits be discontinued on the part of the whites, will his tendency be forward ? Having learned so much of the negro as site has, she will baldly believe that he would main tain the culture that has been forced upon him. That he is incapable of sejf-snpport no one will believe who reflects on his history. For years he was in the hands of others; with out willing it he was made a free man; without his seeking it, civili zation is attempted to be forced upon hitn. I would be glad that a large colony, made up of those who have had the advantages of our best public schools, could be settled on the banks of the Congo or Orange and lav the foundations of an em pire; I would have every white man “hands off,” and allow the whole enterprise to be controlled by ne groes. The vestiges of what they have learned in this land whither they came as bondsmen, it would perhaps not bo difficult to number at the eud of the first decade. Z. A GREAT TRAGEDY RE CALLED. SOME 01’ THE PARTICULARS OF AX OLD TIME NATIONAL SENSATION’ The death, is reported by tele graph on Saturday, of Mrs. Alex ander Slidell Mackenzie, at the res idence of her son, Brigadier Gen eral R. S. Mackenzie, United States army, Santa Fe, New Mexico, will recall to mind the excitement cre ated some forty years ago by the hanging of Spencer, Cromwell and Small on board the brig Somers, commanded by her distinguished husband, Commodore Alex. Slidell Mackenzie. The Commodore had achieved quite a literary reputa- I ion, and by name was familiar to American readers. Me was tjie author of “A Year iti Spain, by a young American,” and “Spain Re visited.” He was also author of a popular life of Captain Paul Jones and some other works which were favorably received, besides being a valued contributor to the Knick erbocker and oilier periodicals of that dti}'. The Somers went out iu 1842 with a crew of 120 men and 9G apprentice boys under age, and on the return from the cost of Af rica, while approaching the- Islo of Pines, a mutiny was suspected, which demanded severe measures, as the officers believed, to secure the safety of the ship. After an in vestigation the young men above mentioned were hut g to the yard arm. It was believed that the con spirators intended to murder the officers and divert the vessel iuto a piratical cruiser. Commodore Mackenzie on reaching New York marched with his crew to the near est church and returned thanks to Almighty God for their safe deiiv | erauce. He also sent on to Wash - ington a sealed dispatch, conveying the first news of the tragedy that had been enacted. The intelligence, as spread through country, caused a sensation, and what added to the interest was the fact that Spencer, the ringleader id the suspected mu tiny, was a son of John C. Spencer, the then Secretary of War under President Tyler’s administration. As was natural, Secretary Spencer wrote a letter which was extensive ly published, denouncing the act of Mackenzie us illegal aud unnec > ~-iiiy. and saying that if there were any grounds for believing that a mutiny was contemplated the prisoners, after their arrest and confinement in irons, should and could have been brought with safe ty to the Uuited States, where they could then undergo a legal trial. The Commodore was tried by a Court of Inquiry, and also by a court martial, the trial lasting two months, and lie was acquitted. Complaint was made during the trial becamso Benjamin F. Butler aud Charles O’Couor, employed by the father of young Spencer, were not tdlowed to sit by and put ques tions approved by the court. What ever may be thought of the char acter and necessity of the execution at this late day, the act of Macken zie complimented by the merchants of New York and applauded by the press at the time and tbo public voice generally was iu his favor. Regarding the further history of Commodore Mackenzie, it may be stated that five years after the trag edy ou the big Somers the Mexican war broke out, and towards its close Mackenzie was sent on a se cret mission by President Polk (at the instance of the late Senator Slidell, a brother of Alexander Sli dell Mackenzie, whose name was changed to meet some bequest, to Santa Anna, then at Havana), with a scheme to restore the ex-dictator to Mexico, upon some agreement advantageous to the United States; but the conference did not succeed. Mackenzie, a few years later, was killed by a fall from a horse, and tho brig Somers went down to the bottom of the sea with all ou board. —A sensible young lady made tho following request to her friends: “Do not lay me down by the rip pling brook’s side lest babbling lov ers wake me from mv dreams, nor in the beautiful cemetery iu the valleys, lest sight-seerft, conning over epitaphs distract me; but let my last sleep be under the counter of the merchant and business man generally who never advertised. There is the peace which passeth all understanding and a deep sleep on which neither the buoyant foot fall of youth nor the weary shuffle and drag of old age will ever in trude.”—Exchange. —A little boy in South Carolina has sent SIOO to the Southern Pres byteriau Board of Foreign Mis sions, the proceeds of the sale of cauaries by himself. —Life is made up not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, of which smiles and kind ness, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and pre aei vc the heart. KAIL WAY COURTING. At a station a few miles east of this city outlie Georgia Ilailroad, a tall, gaunt, agricultural looking: man boauled a west bound train for Atlauta. Every seat in the ear was occupied with the exception of j one at the side of a buxom, middle; aged woman, with pleasant features, but that peculiar snap to her black eyes indicative of a mind of her own, and an “I’m the boss” sort of a poise to her well shaped head, j He sat bolt upright, and looked dignified as possible for a mile or so, hut his desire to keep his tongue moving was too great to re-. main longer mute, and Iff) asked, the woman where she was from, i I wjjere .she was go long she expected tonsSfay am,- "*tf -7V She told him she was from South Carolina and was going to Atlanta on a visit, and that she was a wid ow. “I’m front down iu ole Geo-ogia,” said the agriculturist. “I go down to Atlanta every week or so to en joy myself. You see my wife she died and the old farm is lonesome like, and I go tc the city to sorter cheer up.” “Have you got a big farm,” in quired the fair'traveler. “Wall, I jes’ kalkerlate as I have, an’ ono ’er the best in Gee-ogia. There’s a big house onto it with porches and virandads, jes as grand as is anywheres, an across the road waves as fine a sugar grove as ever give water ; a cider mill waves ’tother side of the house; a big barn painted red, waves ’cross the lane, and this summer the fields'll wave with corn an’ oats. She’s a good ’tin an’ mighty comfortable j life, but allfired lonesome since the ! ole ’oman pegged out, a’ that’s why I get inter the city fur consolation, j you know,” and he locked out of j the window with a poetical, far- j away gaze, while the buxon widow j looked at the back of the seat iu ! Iront with a speculative stare ;.| then, with a deep-drawn sigh, re- j plied : “Yes, you must be awful! lonesome,” looking softly at his face. i “You’re right it are,” ho said, ; putting bis long arm over the back ! of the seat so that his big bonj band rested on the end next the window, “an’ if I could jes’ find ’or handsome ’countq ns’ud heve me, I think things ’nd brighten up a bit,” | and he made a pathetic move with : uis left hand across his eyes. “I think there’d be lots would be glad to have you,” coolly answered j she. “Do yon, though, now really, do you ?” pressing closer to her side. “Indeed I do,” she simpered, as she looked at the passing telegraph poles. . His hand slid from the back of the seat and rested lightly on her waist, as he leaned over her ear aud said, “Now. would you mind ter sort o’ cocao and brighten up tho house yerself ? I’m a good ’nn, I am, an’ we’d be happy as daisies, sartiu.” “0, this is so sudden, you know,” i as she nested her head dose to his shoulder, while a soft blush flush ed her face, “1 don’t even know your name.” “Well, I don’t see as how a name’s goin’ to make any difference, an’ it s easy fiudiu’ out, anyway. Gome now, let’s make up our minds fer double up.” “You’ll be good and always treat me well, will you ?” “You kin jus’ bet on tket;T aiu’t a man as treats anything poorly. Why, ther dogs, tin’ pigs, an’ cows, an’ horses, an’ even ther chickens, all on ’em, look more cheerful like when I’m around. Treat you right! I guess yes,” and he circled her waist aud her head rested lovingly on the agricultural shoulder, while silence was taken for consent. Thus they sat until the train pulled into the Union Depot, utterly oblivious ! to the smiles of other passengers. That is why such happy smiles wreathed the countenances of the old farmer and ill) woman who alighted from tho train yesterday aud ordered a carriage for a hotel. Thedenoeument wilt be acal! on the marriage clerk .to-day and visit, a minister or justice, they won’t care much which, and the buxom widow with the snapping black eyes will no donut take up her quarters ou the farm iu old “Gee-ogia,” where wave the coru, the cottou, the red baru, and the golden grain. There she will bo the conquering heroine. -Post-Appeal. —Some one has said that if pro fessed Christians do not have grace enough to control them, they can hardly have enough to save them. - —Kind words produce their own image iu men’s souls, aud a beauti ful image it is.

AVIIOLE NUMBER 522, A YEAR WITHOUT SI MMER. REMEMBRANCE OF J’HE REMARKABLE temperature of 1810. The several cold spells which : have occurred during the present month iu this section and through out almost the entire country as! well, recalls instances on recoul in which even the seasons seem to have lost their charaeleristic fea tures. A remarkable case of this kind is that of the year 1810, which has been called “the year without a summer.” Tile following sum mary of the weather of that year is given by a correspondent in a re cent issue of the Boston Agricul turalist: “January and February were mild ; March was cold ; April be gan warm, but ended in snow and ice. Ice formed tut inch thifk in May, and fields were planted’ over' and over again till it was too late to leplaut. June was the coldest ever known in this latitude; frost and ice were common. Almost every green thing was killed; fruit nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of teu inches in Vermont seven in Maine, ti>.ee in the inte terior of New York, and also in Massachusetts. There were a few warm days. It was called a dry ! season. But little rain fell. The rain blew steadily from the north, cold and fierce. Mothers knit ex tra socks and mittens for their chil dren iu the spring, and wood piles, that usually disappeared during the warm spell in front -of the houses* were speedily built up agaiu. “ Planting and shivering were jdoue together, and the farmers who I worked out their taxes on th<s coun try roads wore overcoats and mit tens. On the 17th of June a heavy Unow fell in New England. The cold was intense. A farmer who had a large field of corn iu Tewkesberrv built fires around it at night to ward off the frost. Many nti evening.he and his neighbors took tires y, roll ing them, tie wav rewarded with the only crop of corn in the neigh borhood. Considerable damage was done in New Orleans in eon | sequence of the rapid rise of the i Mississippi river. Fears wore en ; tertained that the sun was cooling I off, and throughout New England picnics were strictly prohibited. July was accompanied with frost amt ice. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed ; sotn?. favorably sit uated fields escaped. August was more cheerless, if possible, than the summer months v.Tiicli prece ded it. Ice was formed half an inch in thickness. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was cut down and dried for fodder. Almost every green thing was des troyed in this country aud in Eu- < rope. On the 80th snow fell at" Barnet, forty miles from London. Very little coru lipenod in New England and the Middle States. Farmers supplied themselves from corn produced in 1815, for seed in the spring of 1817. It sold at from $4 to $5 per bushel. September furnished about two weeks of the pleasantest weather of the season, but in the latter part of the month ice formed an inch thick. October had more than its share of cold weather. November was cold and snowy. Decomber was comforta ble, and the winter following was, jtnild. Very litt’o vegetation was I matured in the Eastern and Mid dle States. The sun’s rays seemed to bo destitute of beat during the summer ; all nature was chuTin a sable hue ; and men exhibited no little anxiety coneering the future of this life.” —Senenty-five thousand cuttle were disposed of at one sale at Fort Worth, Texas, recently.
