Will M Carlton rlivines as fol lows about a farmer who took a boy to a printing office to “make an editor outen o’ him:’’ ‘ The editor sat in his sanctum and looked the old mfflvlh the eve; Then glanced at the grinning young hopeful, and mournfully made this reply: ‘ls your son a small untxkmti edition of Mo ses and Solomon both! I Can he compass his spirit with meekness, and strangle a natural oath! Can he leave all his wrongs to the future, and carry his heart in his cheek! Can he do an hours work in-*, minute, an 1 dive bn a sixpence a Week! Can he courteously talk to an equal, and browbeat an impudent dunce! Can he keep things in apple pie order, and do half a dozen at once! Can he press all the springs of knowledge with quick and reliable touch! And be sure he mows how much to know, and knows how not to know too much! Does he know how to stir up his virtue, and put a check rein upon his pride! Can he carry a gentleman’s manners with a rhinoceros’ hide! Can he know all, anti do-fell, and be all. with courage, cheerfulness and vim! If so, perhaps we can make an editor ’outen o’ him.” The farmer stood curiously listening, while wonder his vision o’erspread; And he said: “Jim 1 guesss we’ll be goin’, he’s probably out of his head.” A Hole in the Pocket. •A great many men have a hole in the pocket, an(i so lose all the little change they put in ; and the -worst of it is, they do not know it; if they did, they-could mend up the hole, and so put an end to the loss. Every day they are minus a few dimes, and they wonder how they -came so short; when bills are to be paid‘they cannot imagine how they came to be so short of change; at the end of the year they are surprised to find so poor a footing tip. They work hard, rack their brains on plans, and still they do not get ahead much ; bills accumulate, income diminishes, and still they do not discover the hole in the pocket. One man has bad fences, gates, and bars i the cattle break through every now and then and destroy crops, and occupy time in driving them out; the pigs creep through the holes ; the geese find many entrances ; the horse gets away; the boys and men, and ser vants and dogs are kept Oil the run af ter roguish cows, and jumping horses, and climbing hogs; the stock becomes uneasy and does not thrive*; the crops are injured; the fences are often broken down ; time is consumed. The trouble is—that man has a hole in the poykdt. ’One man has no sheds, nor bams, nOr granaries, nor 'tool-houses*; his hay and grain he stacks : his vcg. etables he buries. The rain spoils much of his hay ; his grain is much injured and wasted ; the rats eats his corn, and the damp weather moulds it; his potatoes rot ; his pumpkins are destroyed, his apples do him but little good; liis Tools are Totted and rusted in the open weather ; his stock is chilled and stunted for want of shel ter. His trouble—is a hole in the pocket, out of which slips all his prof its—much of the fruits of his hard la ;bor One man has poor plows of the se nile stamp of his ancestors. He only skins the hand with it ; he can’t af ford * modern plow ; he don’t believe in subsoiling ; draining is the non sense of scientific fools ; drills are a humbug; cleep plowing would spoil The land. So he plows and sows as his grandfather did, on the worn out soil of his venerable ancestor. He has a hole in the pocket, and will have it till he takes up to the importance of good tools, and good culture of him self and soil. One man don’t take a .paper ; can not afford it; has no time to read; does not believe in book-farming; likes the old way best ; denies all the stories he has heard from rumor, about large cattle, arid crops, and profits ; doesn’t believe in new notions. For forty years he has planted his corn on the same ground; sown wheat in thelsfohae field ; pastured the land, and mowed the same meadows ; he has heard of “ rotation of crops.” but does not know what It means nor care to know. A bad hole has this man in his pocket. Who hasn’t got a hole in his pock et 1 Reader, havent you ? Look and see. Is there not some way in which you let slip the dimes you might bet ter save—some way in which you waste time, and strength and raindf If so, then you have a hole in your pocket. Indeed, many a man’s pock et is like a sieve Whose pocket is a treasury, safe and sure ?— HiiroA 'world ftdT* The debt of New York city is apont SIOO,OOO, 000; The city is worth about two billions. —«M»» • tST One of the best hits ever made at ari impropriety in aMtdy’s dress was made by Talleyrand. During the rev - olution, when asked by a lady his of pinion of her dress, he replied, It be <ran too late and ended too soon." O From the Aalanlg. Conethuton. The Power .of the Newspaper Prese. Much has been written on this sub ject and many eloquent tributes deliv ered. But we have never seen a more comprehensive or eloqueut delineation of t!*e newspaper press 'than appears in a recent sermon of the Rev. Dr Talmage, of Brooklyn. The .capacity and opportunities of the press for good and evil are measureless, and an in strumentality of such vast operation and influence should be wielded only by those who appreciate their tremen-, dons respdtfsibility, and employ it for the improvement and elevation of their fellow men. It isthrillingly true that if the newspaper “press are right, tlity are ‘gloriously right; if they ale wrong, they are awfully wrong.” We published the extract a fe‘w j days since, but its excellence induces j us to ‘reproduce parts of it, to which * we invoke special and earnest consider ation. The wide reaching scope of the power exerted by the press in educa ting the world is thus graphically por trayed: “The newspaper-is the great educa tor of the Nineteenth Century. There is no force-compared with it. It is hook, pulpit, platform, forum, all in one. And there is not an interest— religious, literary, commercial, scienti fic, agricultural or mechanical—that is not within its grasp. All our chur ches,-and schools, and colleges, and asylums, and art galleries feel the quak ing of the printing press. In our pulpits we preach to a few hundreds or thousands of people; the news-paper addresses an audience of twenty thousand, fifty thousand or 'two hundred thousand. We preach three or four times a week; they every morning or evening of the year. «Jt they are right, they are gloriously right; if they are wrong, they are •awfully wrong.” The eloquent divine then Shan’s che superiority of the press over other great agencies operating To the ad vancement of civilization. “I find no difficulty in accounting for the world’s advance. What has made the change*? “Books’you say. No sir. The vast majority of citizens do notread books. In the United States the peo ple would not average one book a year to the individual. Whence this inteli genee, this capacity to talk about all themes, secular and religious, this ac quaintance with science and art, this power to appreciate the beautiful and grand ? Next toTbo Bible,-the new spa per,swift-winged and everywhere—fly ing over the fence, shoved under the door, tossed into the counting-house, laid onthe work-bench,hawked*fcbrough the cars! All read it! White and black, German, Irishman, Swiss, Spaniard, ■American, old and vowng, good and bad, tfi6k and Well, before breakfast and after tea, Monday morning, Saturday night, Sunday and week day.” The capabilities and mission of the press are summed up in the following manner." ‘T consider the newspaper to be the grand agency by which‘the is to he preached, ignorance cast out, op pression dethroned, crime extirpated, the world raised, heaven rejoiced, and God glorified, In the clanking of the printug press as the sheets fly out I hear the voice of the Lord Alinigty proclaiming to all the dead nations of the earth. “Lazarus, come fort!” and to the retreating surges of darkness, “Let there he light.” The publishers of Ihe Constitution believe that they appreciate the fear ful responsibility resting upon them, and the head of each department is therefore held-to the very strictest ac countability. To their management is a power, which, if used, can accom plish results for good, that cannot be estimated; but, if wrongly used, will produce incalculable evil. Damage to character, business, ard noble -enter prises or causes may be done, which no possible effort at rightingcan whol lv undo. We shall strive to sustain the lofty position of the press by ad vocating the true and upholding the good. E&J" The Columbus Sun says: “A young gentleman last afternoon took a buggy ride with a lovely lady. After returning they went into the parlor. A pistol dropped from the gent’s pocket. It was discharged, and the ball entered the lady’s leg above the ankle, inflicting a painful but not at all serious wound.” The young gentleman must have been a very brave and gallant hero, that he could not venture upon a drive with a young lady, without a loaded pistol. There is no surer mark of a cow ard then to see a man strutting around with a pistol in his pocket. A young physician asked permission of a lady to kiss her: Biie replied: No sir; I never like to have a doctor s bill thrust iu ray face. -Girls. BY HORACE GREELEY. Artemus Ward never said a wiser thing than this : “I like little girls, but I like big girls just ;ts well.”— These laughing, happy creatures—the sad, the grave the gay—all have their separate and peculiar charih for the children of men. From the school girl of fourteen to the more mature damsel, We love them all ; and it is wise that we do so The world would be a desert without them *; and I have no patience with the ’irmn %ho can willfully say that he has Tlever been entangled in the meshes of sunny hair, or felt his heart thrill at a look from a pair of laughing eyes. In the first place, wheh lie makes U statement of that kind, he will find it difficult to make believers in it. Men, frditi Ad am’s time have been moulded by the influence of the “weakersex.” \Neak! Sampson, the strongest man of all, lost his strength in the lap of a woman. And so it is with all.— W e love them for their many graces, for their musical voices, for the beau ty God has given them, and because they are weaker than we are, and ap peal to : l?s foV protection. The touch of a delicate hand, the mellow tones of a girl’s voice, the tender glance of beautiful eyes—all these have -their power. Man’s inhefeht chivalry teaches him that these are given him for his good, to restrain his wilder inr pulses, and to make him better, purer* nobler. They furnish to the young man an incentive to labor, and point out to him the better path which his feet ought to tread. Thov -enchain the wildest and modt Untamable of our race, and teach them to take delight in the purer social pleasures. Many a man who has gone astray has been reclaimed by his love for one of these dear creatures, and has lived a noble life thereafter for her sake. We say, “God bless ’-ein every one!” My First Experiment. The following is‘the experience of a mechanic concerning the benefits of a newspaper: Ten years ago I lived in a town of Indiana. On returning home one night, for I am a carpenter by trade, -I saw a little girl leave my door with a smile, which is encouraging to a man after a hard day’s labor. I asked my wife who she was. She said Mrs. R. had sent her little girl for their newspaper which she had borrowed. We sat down to tea. My wife said to me: “ I wish you would subscribe for the newspaper, it is so much comfort to me when you are aWayfrtjmhbme.” My answer was: “ I would like to do so, but you know' I owe a payment on the house and lot, It will be all that I can do to meet it.” She said : “If you will take the paper, I will sew tor the tailor and pay for it.” I subscribed for the paper ; it came in due time to the shop. While rest ing one noon find 'looking over it, I saw an advertisement of the county commissioners to let a bridge that was to be built. I put in a bid for the bridge, and the job vvfis awarded to me, on which I realized three hundred dollars, which enabled me to pay for my house and lot easily, and for the newspaper. If I had not subscribed for the newspa per I would not have known anything about the contract and could not have met the payment on my house and lot. A mechanic never loses anything by taking a newspaper. Hints t ) Boys and Girls. 1. Never look over another person when he is writing a letter, reading that which does not Concern you. 2. Never enter another’s room ab rubtly. Have you special business knock gentle at the door, or ask per mission to enter. 3. Never select the best article of food at table. Wait till you are help ed. Be modest, polite, temperate. 4. Never ask trifling or foolish questions, or inquire about things with which you are already familiar. “ A fool’s voice is known by a multitude of words." 5. Never speak unless you have something to say—think twice before you speak once. “In the multitude of words they wanteth not sin; but he that fefrkin(*th his lips is wise.” 6. Never dissemble, feign yourself sick or assleep, or unwell to avoid cor rection of some unpleasant thing.— This is a species of lying, for which the Lord wiU not hold you guiltless. ‘‘Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile. Put away from the.” “Lying lines are an abomi ; nation to the Lord.” North and South Railroad. We heartily rejoice in the progress ive prospects of the above named Road. Twb miles flf-giading on the Rome end have been completed, and a large force is now at work on the next sec tion. W e are informed by Mr. Cherry, one of the‘con tractors that an additional • > force—as large as ’?nn be worked there to advantage—will be sent to the Tucker Summit, twelve miles from Rome, next week. This is the deep est cut between Rome and Cedar Town, and the purpose is to have that com pleted by the time the lighter grading this side is done. We can 'fissure onr Cedar Valley friends that Rome is delighted with the idea oi being connected with them by rail. The Selma Road would have been built through that valley, but for the fact that Van’s Valley subscription greatly predominated. But let “by gones be by gonOs,” and by making-a “long pull and a strong pull and a pull altogether,” we will soon have the North and South Road completed to Cedar Town. Home Courier. - From the Rome Omrier. North and South Railroad Meeting at Cedar Town—A Live Enterprise. Cedar Town, Ga., Jan. 6, 1872. Pursuant to a call, the cltfcehs Os Polk county, assembled in the Court House at Cedar Town, this day at noon, to consider the question of giv ing aid to the North and South Rail road. The Court room was well filled. Among the visitors present, were Col. W. A. McDoitgalil, President; *W. D. Chipley, Secretary; Maj. John T. Burns and Capt. Archie Griffeth, and Hon. S. 13. Clegliorn, of Columbus, Directors of the Company. The meeting was organized by the selec tion of Win. -Hogg, Esq., as Chair man, and J. E. Roberts, Secretary.— by request, President McDougald and Major Burns gave short statements in regard to the present status and pros pects of the Company. Though brief, their reports were clear and ‘cohcise, and highly satisfactory to the friends of the enterprise. After speeches from Hon. M. H. Bunn, Dr. E. 11. Rich ardson and Major Geo. W. West, a motion to appoint a committee to so licit subscriptitth was carried, and the following gentlemen selected as that committee : Dr E. 11. Richardson, J. A. Blanco, L. H. Wallthall, J S. Novep, G. W. West, S. M. H. Byrd and Mr. Hutitihgdon. Gn motion of Major J. A. Blanee, the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That we appreciate the importance of an early completion df the North and South Railroad, a link in the -great road chain which is des tined T 6 become a national iine con necting the lakes of the North with the Gulf and West Indies. J Resolved, That the importance of this road to Georgia cannot be over estimated as the developer of the im mense agricultural and manufacturing interests in the country on its liue, now without Railroad facilities. Their val uable quarries, magnificent forrests and inexhaustible beds of coal, iron and other minerals with this road com pleted, will increase their taxable property one hundred fold. Resolved, That the usual and re markable progress of the management of the‘Company, commands our atten tion and admiration, and we accept it as a guarantee of early completion. Resolved , That we will give the company all the aid in our power, and hereby urge upon the ‘committee an earnest canvass for subscriptions. Major Burns gave a most satisfacto ry account of the condition and organ ization of the Lookout Mountain Rail road Company, designed to connect Rome and Chattanooga. lie stated that the Company would undoubtedly commence work within sixty days. On motion, the papers of Columbus Rome and LaGrange were requested to publish the proceedings of the meet ing. Wm. Hogg, Chiu'n. J. E. Roberts, Sect 4 }’.

Whdt AcN'ertteing Did. Milatul, the banker artft newspaper speculator, who died recently in Paris, and who founded the Petite Journal, which at one time had a daily circula tion of nearly half a million copies, was an enthusiastic believer in the ad vantages of liberal advertising. One day he had at his table nearly all the proprietors of the leading Paris dai lies. They conversed about adver tising. Milaud asserted that the most worthless articles could be sold in vast quantities if liberally advertised.— Emile de Giraridin, of La Presse, who was present, took issue with him on the subject. “What will you bet,” exclaimed Milaud, that I can not sell in one week one hundred thousand francos worth ot the most common cabbage seed, under the pretext that it Will produce mammoth cabbage heads? All I have to do is to advertise it once in a whole page insertion in the dai ly papers of the citiy.” Girardin re plied that he wohM give him a page in his paper for toothing if he would win the wager. The other publishers agreed to do the same thing. At the expiration of the week they inquired of Milaud hbw the cabbage had flem ished.—lie showed them that he had sold nearly twice as much as he had promised, while orders were still pour ing in; but he said the. joke must stop there, and no further orders would be filled.

Laud anum or other auodyne is sometimes taken by mistake or otherwise, in ex cess. Swallow strong coffee or the whites of several eggs instantly ; all these are things to be done While the doctor is coming. Let every family remember that sweet oil, the white of eggs and strong coffee, antagonize a larger number of poisons than per haps all other things together. If laudanum or any other not burning the throat, is taken and is promptly discovered, the best plan is to get it out of the stomach instant ly which is done by stirring a table spoonful of ground mustard in a tum bler of water, and drinking it down at once ; almost before it is down the whole contents of the stomach begin to be ejected.— l 'falls Jouanal of Health . ISTToO much land and too little manure and cultivation, is the greatest curse and weakness Os American, and especially Southern agriculture. A cotemporary justly remarks that “ not one in a thousand, though possessed of five times as many acres as he can profitably or successfully cultivate, is satisfied.” While this seems perfectly natural, it is at the same time vefy un wise. The farmer recognizes his wealth in the multiplication of his broad acres, just as the merchant or banker does his, in the accumulation of greenbacks, but the difference be tween the two is that the farmer may add acre to acre, without the ability to render the investment profitable, while the banker has no difficulty in finding profitable investments for his green backs. It is always bad policy to buy more land, and give manure in homeo pathic and *sesto that already in posses sion. The safe and sure guide for the farmer is to attempt the cultivation of no more acres than he can keep in perfect good heart, and every day’s experience 'demonstrates the fact, that with occasional exceptions, a little farm well tilled, is more -profitable in the end than a large one indifferently cultivated. We once read of a French man, who had two daughters. One of them married, and received one half of the parental vineyard as her dowry. To the old man’s surprise, the half he had reserved, receiving as much cultivation as he formerly be stowed upon the whole, yielded as much as it had done. The Second married, and he gave her one-half of what he had left, and still had as many grapes from hisVemaining fourth as he used to get from the whole.— There is a whole volume of practical truth in this little anecdote. Its mor al is attempt the cultivation of no more land than you can cultivate well. —Otir Home Journal. Subscribe to the Carroll Cos., Times. NO. 3.
