Extract front Wm, M. Carlton’s poem.
Tile Model Subscriber.
“Good morning sir- Mr. Editor, liow are the
folks to day 1
I owe you for next year’s Spectator I thought
I’d come and pay.
And Jones is agoin’ to take it, and this is his
money here;
I shut down lendin’ it to him, and then coax
ed him to try it a year.
And here is a few little items that happened
last week in our town,
1 thought they 'd look good for the paper, and
so I just jotted ’em down.
And he-e is a basket of cherries my wife pick
ed expressly for you;
And a small bunch of flowers from Jennie
bhe thought she must send something too.
You’re doing the politics bnllv, as all of out
family agree ;
Just keep your old goose quill a fiappin,’and
give ’em a good one for me.
And now you are chuck full of business, and
I won’t be taking your time.
I’ve things of my own I mvisi tend to—good
dav, sir. a will cli',nb.”
lb© Editor sat in his sanctum and brought
down his flst with a thump,
‘‘God bless that old farmer” he muttered,
lie’s a regular jolly old trump,”
And tis thus with our noble profession, and
thus it will ever be still;
there are some who appreciate its labor, and
some who perhaps never will,
But in the great time that is coming when
Gabriel’s trumpet sound,
And they who have labored and rested shall
coiqe from the quivering ground,
W hen they who have striven and suffered to
teach and ennoble the race,
feliall march at the front of the column each
one in his God given place,
As they march through the gates of The G'itv,
with proud and victorious tread,
The editor and his asjuxtaois wilt not travel
fur from the head.
The Follies of Riches.
Why do men squander the few days
allotted them on earth in gathering
the goods of this wcqjfl, to the exolu
sion of nobler achievements and high
er enjoyments. Certainly, happiness
does not consist exclusively, if at all,
in the pursuit and enjoyment ot rich
es ; on the contrary, the acquisition
of wealth has broken the hearts of
millions, dwarfed the moral sensibili
ties, hindered the tide of progress,
dried up the fountains of humanity,
and prostrated industrial pursuits. It
is asserted by philosophers who have
studied human nature, and watched
the tide of human events, that the
possession of wealth slackens virtue,
encumbers the time of wise men,
breeds new wants, increases our cares,
multiplies our miseries, prostrates the
energies of the young, and unfits
them for the active duties of life.
When, at last, wealth has been ac
quired, and we have engaged in the
vanities of life until the fitful dream
of life is over, then, we return to the
dust and our children inherit our land,
brick, and stones, and gold, to repeat
the drama of life in which we were
successful. However careful or self
denying our children, the inheritance
may be destroyed in a moment, and
then their solt white hands would hud
it difficult to earn a competency.-
While we admit that it is the duty of
all to engage in some honest employ
ment, and thereby secure the actual
necessities of life, we deny that na
tions, or individuals have increased
their happiness or usefulness by in
creasing wealth beyond their wants.
“ Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long-”
If we study tlie history of nations
and individuals we will find that all
the great improvements by which the
world has been benefited, originated
in poverty. So with educators and
authors. Burns sung his sweetest and
wildest notes between the plow handles,
and Shakespeare stamped his genius
upon tablets of immortality amid pov
erty and want. Tasso wrote his “Je
rusalem Lost ” in the depths of penu
ry and some of his sweetest verses
were thrown to Leonora through the
gates of his prison. Thp “Pilgrim’s
progress” which has cheered the
hearts of thousands, was written in a
dungeon. Milton, on account of his
obscurity could scarcely sell his manu
script of “Paradise Lost ” for a sum
sufficient to pay for a month’s board.
Ropve before hoi* soldiery and states
men were corrupted and enervated by
gold acquired by conquest, was invin
cible, but when she subdued the sur
rounding nations, and gathered up the
gold and costly raiments ol the van
quisled, she fell, and her proud eagles
trailed in the dust forever. Egypt,
Greece; and other nations of antiquity
shared a like fate from the same cause.
The ruins of Carthage, Palmy
ra, and other cities point unerringly to
the fact that their * destruction is
chnrgable to the attainment of wealth
and influence among the nations.—
Gold was the God they worshipped,
and when enervated by luxury, they
became insensible to danger. Proud
qf their exalted position and vast at
tainments, they were careless of the
means of self defense and were de
stroyed. The King of Babylon, when
feeling almost secure amidst this vast
dominions wealth, and the idolatrous

adorations of his subjects, saw the

Kingdom, gold and silver passed into

W e concede that wealth secures the
applause of the world and attaches to
its posessors many subservient follow
ers, but it produces no genuine friend
ship or real happiness. But take the
honest, industrious poor man who pos
sess mind, soul, and energy, and his
joys are roses “ borne on Ileclas
brow.” He has health, freedom, inno
cence and pea-e. He mocks the pa
geantry and pomp begotten by wealth
and lives happily in a little world of
his own. Poverty is his boasted
wealth, and bis friends, though few.
are sincere and lasting ; they do not
forsake him in the hour of danger, nor
cut his acqaintauce in adversity. His
sleep is sound, and no frightful vis
ions of departed friends, wasted for
tunes or lost honors, disturb bis re
pose. He realizes the truth that
“ From labor, health, from health content
ment springs.”
And he pursues his daily avocations
with pleasure,—content with his posi
tion, he sings amidst his toils and la
bor.
“ Let us all be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
And finally, when he “sleeps the
sleep that knows no waking” his soul
Lasses into an atmosphere where
“ moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor
thieves break through and steal.”—
But where the man whose God was
gold, when summoned to appear be
fore the Grand Asises above there ?

Ten Cents Reward is offered
for that garrulous old gossiper known
and distinguished, m every communi
ty throughout this broad land, as
“ They Say.” His adherents are more
numerous than ever leaves were in
Valambrossa, and his rumors fly
thicker and faster than winged ants on
an indian-summer day. If he is not
omnipresent, he certainly has the pow
er of being present in many places at
the same time. If he is not inspired,
with the prophetic ken of an Isaiah
or Jeremiah, lie certainly foresees
many events which come to pass. If
he is not omniscient he certainly knows
a great deal more than most of folks.
He sees all things that transpire, and
man) which never do. He presumes
to know eveybody and to be acquaint
ed with everybody’s business. His
sayings are repeated at all places of
public gatherings, in confidential in
terviews, around the social hearthstone,
and in private circles. He is by far a
more popular author and oftener quo
ted than Byron, Shakspeare, or any
other writer whose sayings are record
ed in history. He was never known
to be cornered, but always manages
to elude the grasp of Ids pursuers.—
He is evidently a very extraordinary
genius, and we want to see a character
so intimately known in every commu
nity and yet never seen by mortal eye,
and whose footprints are so often seen
tut whose carcass has never been
overtaken.— Cartersville Exqiress.
Beauties Laugh.— What is more
bewitching than the laugh of a beauti
iul, sweet tempered woman. It comes
bubbling up from the deep springs
of the heart in clear sparkling flute
like notes, and rippling through and
over the ruby parted lips, like a sweet
flowing rill, so that the hearts that
hear it feel the exilerating influence
and acknowledge its magic spell.
Talk about the ambrosial nectar
which the gods delighted to quaff, it
can hold no comparison with the sil
ver laugh of a beautiful woman. Did
you ever attempt to catch in frolics in
nocent chase the girl whose beauty
had oit made your heart to flutter, and
as she gracefully, and swan-like slip
ped your grasp, sent back upon your
ear one of those flute like laughs that
rippled by you like flowing
rill
Sometimes iu the midst of trial and
borne down by heavy sorrow, when
your heart has felt strangely sad, some
wandering, far off strain of music has
suddenly awakened the memories of
the past, and you paused in jvrapt ex
pectation of beholding that bright
vision of beauty pass by and greet
you again with that magic laughter of
by gone years.

A Mistaken Idea.
The man who expects to be success
ful in any kind of business these day
without advertising, is bound to be
wofully disappointed. To see who
does the business of any city you have
but to take up a paper and see the
names of those who keep themselves
most prominently and persistently be
before thepublic. —Columbus Enquir
er.
There is nothing truer than the
above, and we appeal to the facts of
every day’s business, in this city, to
prove it. The men who advertise
have the trade, and they will keep itas
long as they persist in liberal adver
tising.
Sticking up cracker-box tops about
the streets, and through the country,
with grotesquely printed announce
ments that such articles can be founds
at John Jones’store, is a mistake.—
That style of advertising very proper
ly inspires disgust and contempt in the
minds of all sensible men, and they
carefully avoid John Jones’ store.
Experience has demonstrated the
fact that the Weekly country News
paper is the best medium for advertis
ing. It is local, and its country sub
scribers have each issue before them
morning uoon and night, for a whole
week, and they must necessarily go
through and through their paper more
than once. The result is they be
come familiar with all the advertise
ments and come to know intimately
the very faces and character of the
advertisers. Who of our country sub
scribers does not feel as if W. A. Huff
is an old and familiar acquaintance ?
And who does not know that he is a
liberal dealer and always able and
willing to fill orders at the very low
est market prices.
Who of them is unacquainted with
Mercer & Smith, S. Mayer A Cos., L.
E. & 11. E Welch, Strozer, & Ilils
man, or S, W. Fleishman A Cos.
A subscriber wants his paper sus
tained, and he knows that it cannot
live without advertising patronage
and hence he comes to regard the ad
vertiser as a sort of copartner in a joint
stock company and naturally prefers
to trade with him.
W e write this article in no spirit of
complaint against non-advertisers, but
by way of giving them the philosphy
of advertising, and opening their eyes
to their own best interest. —Albany
Met vs.
Newspaper Work.
A recent writer pointedly and truth
fully remarks that journalism is the on
ly profession which is denied the
privilege of privacy. The lawyer,
doctor and preacher do their work in
private, and no weighty personal re
sposibility attaches to them on ac
count ot it. But the journalist is a
mark for the public eye, and his every
movement is as the course of the Sun.
Moreover, the w'ork of the press is
continuous as well as constantly pub
lic. There is no rest for the weary.
Space is no more annihilated by
telegraph thau by journalism. The
evening and morning are not merely
the first day but all the seven. Night
is ahnihilated as to all its quantities of
repose. Every minute of every hour
of the twenty four is occupied by
some workers doing some work that
shows itself in the news paper of the
day and afternoon. Repetition is as
impossible as rest. Facts are ever
new. Comments must be as fresh as
facts, and the edition is the remorse
less giant that eats up all the seconds.
The making of a newspaper is perpet
ual motion iu a thousand fields. In
such a work demanding ceaseless es
forts, permitting no pause, exacting
eternal and every varying exercises, it
is imposible for wheat to be unmixed
with chaff, for accuracy not to be im
paired by mistake, for injustice not
occasionally to he done.
We Fade. —We extract the follow
ing beautiful and truthful illustration
from an exchange:
“ As the trials of life thicken, and
the dreams of other days hide one by
one in the deep vista of disappointed
hope, the heart grows weary of the
struggle, and we begin to realize our
insignificance Those who have <1 mb
ed to the pinnacle of fame or revel iu
luxury and wealth, go to the grave
with the poor mendicant who begs
by the wayside, and like him are soon
forgotten. Generation after genera
tion, says an eloquent writer, have
felt as we feel, and their fellows were
as active in life as ours are now.
They passed away as a vapor, while
Nature wore the same aspects of
beauty as when the Creator command
ed her to be. And so it. shall be
when we are gone. The world will
have the same attraction for offsprings
yet unbora that it had once for our
selves and that it lias now for our chib
! dree.”
Industry.
Man’s existence, health and longev
ity, require labor. lie is formed with
brain to contrive and hands to work
with a view to promote his comfort
and happiness. He was not to be an
idler even in the Garden of Eden.—
The command is upon him that he
must gain his bread by labor. Asa
man generally does well what he loves
to do, he ought to cultivate a love for
his calling and be content with noth-
ing short of excellence. He ought
not to allow himself to be constantly
under whip amUppur, but catch some
of life’s rationalenjoyment as he pass
es along. Happiness is often best
enjoyed bv contrast. Rest after toil
is sweet; the demands of hunger are
best satisfied by plain food, and thirst
by pure water. After disease has pass
ed away, how much health isapprecia
ted! After being tossed upon the
ocean for weeks, how cheerful is the
joyful cry of land, and the smoke curl
ing from the chimney-tops, and above
all the cheerful countenances of friends
hailing us from the shore ! Labor,
therefore, and useful toil confer joy
unknown to those who “strain their
low thoughts to form unreal wants,”
and think it a hardship to struggle in
the busy hive of life.
Industry has made the wilderness
bud and blossom like the rose. How
inspiring it is to see men employed in
the various departments of productive
labor, whether of the hands or brain,
all promotive of prosperity and civili
zation. The welfare of the land is
then assured, and man nobly fills the
sphere for which he was intended by
the Creator.
The sun bronzed face, the hard
hands and rustic coat of the honest
laborer should be held in the highest
estimation. He is worth more than
the haughty aristocrat; he belongs to
the nobility of labor. He is a creator
of wealth, and stands at the founda
tion of all civilized Society.
Industry has been honored in all
time. At the late celebration on the
recovery of the prince of Wales from
serious sickness, Victoria, England’s
best Queen, reserved fifty seats in the
great cathedral for working men to
testify her regard for labor. The
working men of this country have for
the first time nominated one of their
own class to represent them, and thus
promote industry and true enhghen
ment.
When a man seeks an occupation
as every one should do, he ought to
resolve to earn a living. Now there
are only three known ways by which
any one can gain a livelihood—one is
by work, another by begging, and an
other by stealing. It depends a good
deal upon his taste, which of these
occupations he will select. Os couise
we leave out of our calculations those
who are not able to work, and yet
scorn to beg or steal. These of course
must live upon the labor of others,
and properly so. This matter being
under stood, then, the conclusion is,
if a man being able'does not work, he
is either begging or stealing. If he is
living upon past accumulation, however
he is exempt from the charge. The
work must be honest and bring no in -
jury to the neighbor; it must be pro
ductive or creative. You may shut
up five gamblers in a room for a
month each with one hundred dollars
and let them gamble away with each
other all the time, is anythig gained ?
They have still among them only five
hundred dollars diminished by the
price of board, the wear and tear of
clothing, and ruin of character. This
is sporting with a rush and totally un
productive. A carpenter takes a per
tion of lumber worth a dollar, and
makes it into a table or desk worth
ten dollars, he has added to the value
of the timber nine dollars. His indus
try is productive and brings no sting
of conscience. So of all honest labor.
It ought therefore to be honored and
rewarded as that which promotes the
wealth, the comfort and happiness of
the nation, as well as its true glory.—
Griffin Middle Georgian.

The Memorial.
The people cannot fail to be inter
ested in the grand Morse Memorial
that is proprosed for next Tuesday
evening. The idea upon which this
demonstration appears to be based, is
to hold meetings simultaneously, in
every city and town of the United
Suites, to express esteem for one of
the greatest masters of the world’s
art and sciences, and sorrow for his
loss. Arrangements are also being
made to have these meetings extend
to other continents—in fact, to every
country reached by the telegraph.
All these meetings will be in tel
egraphic communication with theeen
tral meeting to be held in the hall of
the House of Representatives, at
Washington. The Western Union
Telegraph Company allows a free use
of its wires for that night.
Certainly this promises to be a
most beautiful and appropriate ttib
ute to genius, and most worthily be
stowed. No man was ever more de
serving of such honor than Professor
Morse, for no man ever conferred a
greater benefit upon his race.
In the whole list of man’s inven
tions there is not one so wonderful as
the telegraph, and to Morse belongs
the sole credit of its origination and
perfection. He lived to see the art
carried to the farthest reach of im
provment—to see it making a com
mon people of almost all the nations
of the world. He, who, in 1843, was
pleading with Congress for a beggar
ly sum with which to prove to the
world how great an invention he
had made, and pleading almost in
vain, in 1871, only 28 years later, was
manipulating that same original in
strument and sending a message of
congratulation over hundreds of thou
sands of miles of wire, and to thou
sands of telegraph offices, llis geni
us bore perfect fruit during his life_
time.
No man was ever so universally
honored while living, and no man
more deserved to be honored when
dead. —Atlanta Sun.
111-Mannered Young Men.
Olive Logan 1 > hard when she
does hit. In treating of the follies and
foibles of modem society, her pen has
a refreshing sharpness, and generally
pierces to the quick. In her lecture
on “Youg Men,” she paints the fol
lowing graphic picture of the numer
ous ill-manered young men at present
afficting society .
The ill-manered young man may be
one of llie best hearted and best ed
ucated young men in the world. He
may be able to construe Sanscrit, and
repeat the Iliad of Ilomer in the orig
inal Greek ; he may be virtuous as
Caesar’s wife, and his moral principles
may be as sound as those of the Young
Men,s Christian Association, (laugh
ter); he may be a member of that ex
cellent organization, and to that ex
tent a very nice young man indeed,
but he will offend well-bred people as
grossly as if lie were to go to a tea
party in a state of beer. It is not
agreeable to sit at the table with a
young man who eats as though he had
only twenty minutes for dinner, aud
as if a perpetual train was awaiting
him; who stretches across the table to
harpoon a potato with his fork, and
chew his food with a noise like a four
footed animal; and finally tips his
chair back on its hind legs, and picks
his teeth with his pocket knife. lie
is always making noises, this young
man ; always restless, fidgetty, slouchy
uneasy, undignified. He chews tobac
co, and chewing tobacco, is a dirty
habit. In a certain town there is a
society composed of girls, whose con
stitution and by-laws are as follows ;
“We will never kiss any young man
who chews tobacco.” The tobacco
trade of that town was ruined.
The Longest Bridge in the
World. —The Tensas and Mobile
bridge, or bridges, on the Mobile and
Montgomery railroad extends from
Tensas station on the M. and M. road,
to the city of Mobile, a distance of
fifteen miles, crossing both Mobile and
Tensas rivers and including ten draws,
one for each of the navigable channels
into which the rivers are divided.—
The bridge itself is constructed of
wood, but its pillars or supports are
iron cylinders which rest on a solid
surface of wooden piles driven down
evenly with the bottom cf the stream,
and the mud of intervening morasses.
It has been three years in the course
of construction at a cost of about sl,-
500,000, and, now, that it has been
successfully completed it is perhaps
the longest structure on the globe.—
It shortens the distance from Mont
gomery to Mobile by about twelve
miles of travel and three hours of time
aud secures a continuous route of
railroad between Montgomery and
£iew Qrleans,
