Mis. Hayes’ old Setting hen.
“ Ther’s that old yellow lien a set
ting again,” said Mrs. Ilays to lierson
Timothy.
‘•Well, let her set, ,1 can stand it
as long as she can,” was Tims irrev
erent reply, as he continued to munch
at a piece of cheese.
“ 1 do wish you would try to be a
little equinomical to cheese, Timothy.
J’ve cut the very last of my every
day lot, and its only the first of May.
And now, as soon as you’ve done
eating, I want you to go out and
break up that hen. She’s setting on
an old axe and two bricks now.”
“ I hope shell batch ’em,” returned
Tim.
“ If she was set now, she’d hatch
the fourth week in May. It’s a bad
sign. Something always happens ar
rer ii. Stop giggling, Helen Maria :
by the time you got to be as old as
ycr ma, ye’ll see furthur than you do
now There was the Jenkins folks—
their gray top-knot hatched the last of
May, and Mrs. Jenkins she had the
conjunction of the lungs, and would
have died if they had’t killed a lamb
and wrapped her in the hide while it
was warm. That was all that saved
her.”
With such a startling proof of the
truth and the omen before him, Tim
othy finished his breakfast in baste
and departed for the barn, from which
he,seen returned, bearing the squalling
biddy by.the legs.
“ What shall Ido with her, moth
er ? Site will get on again, and she’s
cross as bedlam—she skinned my
hands, and would be the dead) of me
ij she could get loose.”
“I’ve h.ern it said that it was a
good plan to throw them up in the
air,” said Mrs. Hayes. “ Aunt Peggy
broke one of setting only three tifties
trying. Spose’n you try it.”
“ Up she goes, head or tail !” cried
Tim, as he tossed the volcano sky
ward.
Lauda massy !” exclaimed Mrs.
Hayes ; “ she’s coming down into
pan of bread that I set out on the
the great rock to rise ! Tim, it’s
strange that you cant do nothing with
out overdoing it.”
“ Down with the traitors, up with
the stars,” sang out Tim, elevating
biddy again, with something less than
a pint of batter hanging to her feet.’
“Good gracious me, wuss and wuss,”
cried Mrs. Hayes, and Tim agreed
with her, for the hen had come down
on the y ell polished tile of Esquire
Bennett, who happend to be passing,
and the dignified old gentleman was
the father of Cynthia Bennett, the
young lady with whom Tim was dan
gerously enamored.
The Squire looked daggers, brushed
oil* the dough with his handkerchief,
and strode on in silence.
“ Yes, but it’s going up again, said
Tim, spitefully seizing the clucking
biddy and tossing her at random into
the air. Biddy thought it time to
manifest her individuality, and with a
loud scream she darted against the
parlor window, broke through, knock
ed down the canary cage, and landed
plump in the silken lap of Mrs. Gray,
who was boarding at the farm house.
Mrs. Gray screamed witli horror,
and starting up, dislodged biddy, who
tlew at her reflection in the looking
glass with an angry hiss. The glass
was shattered and down came the
hen, astonished beyond measure,
against a vase ot flowers, which upset,
and in falling, knocked over the stand -
dish and deluged with water a pair of
drab colored velvet slippers which
Helen Maria was embroidering for
her lover, Mr. James llenshaw.
Helen entered the room just .as the
mischief had been clone, and viewing
the ruin, she at once laid it to her
brother Timothy. She heard his step
behind, and she flung the unfortunate
hen full into his lace.
There was a smothered oath, and
the hen came b«ck with the force of
a twenty pound shot.
Helen was mad. Her eyes were
neatly put out with the feathery dust
and dough, and she went at Timothy
with a true feminine zoal. She broke
his watch-guard into a dozen pieces,
crushed his dickey and began to pull
his whiskers out by the roots, when
she suddenly remembered that Tim
jp.othy bad no whiskers to pull out
by the roots.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING* A UGUST 30, 1872.
Rut, when she came to look closer,
she perceived that the man that she
had nearly annihilated was not Tim
othy, but James Ilenshaw.
Poor Helen burst into tears and tied
into her chamber, the usual refuge for
heroines, and James, after washing his
at the kitchen sink, went home,
sternly resolved never to marry a wo
man with such a temper as Helen
Hayes had.
The hen, meanwhile, who is the
heroine, returned to the barn to es
tablish herself on the ruin of her nest,
determined to set if the heavens fell.
Mrs. Hayes soon discovered her*
and she having heard that dipping in
water would cure “broodiness/’ set
torth for the brook with the fowl in
her apron.
Mrs. W eaver, an old lady of very
quarrelsome temperament,who resided
near, and was at -sword’s point with
Mrs. Hayes, was just coming to the
brook for a pail of good water, and
spied the yellow head of the bird
peeping out from Mrs. Hayes’ apron.
“There!” she exclaimed, “Now
I’ve found out what puzzled me to
death nigh about a week. I’ve found
out where that yellow pullet has gone
to Mrs. Hayes, I allers knowed you
were a wicked, desaleful woman, but I
drdnt think you’d steal.”
“Steal? me steal? who are you
talking to, Mrs. Weaver?” said Mrs.
Hayes, on her dignity.
“ I’m Talking to you, niadame, that’s
who I’m talking to ! You’ve stole
my hen what I got over to Uncle
Gillies, and paid for in sassengers.—
She’s a real Dorking. Give her to
me right here or I’ll use force/’
“ She’s my hen, and you toiicji her
if you dare ! ”
“ I’ll show you what I dare ! ” yell
ed Mrs. Weaver, growing purple, and
seizing the ilbstarred fowl by the tail,
she gave a wrench and the tail came
out in her hand.
The sudden cessation of resistance
upset Mrs. Weavers balance, and she
fell backward into the brook, spatter
ing the mud and astonished poliwogs
in every direction.
She was a spry woman and was soon
on her feet again, ready to renew the
assault.
“ Give me my hen,” she cried,
thrusting her list into Mrs. Hayes’
face. “ You old hag and hypocrite
you ! ” and she made a second dive at
the bird.
The hen thought proper to show
her colors, and uttering an unearthly
yell, she flewjput of the covert square
into the face of Mrs. Weaver, which
she raked down with her nails until it
resembled the pages of . a ledger,
crossed aud recrossed with red ink.
Mrs. Hayes caught a stick of brush
wood from the fence —Mrs. Weaver
did the same .aud a regular duel would
probably have been fought if the bank
of the creek had not suddenly given
away and precipitated both the indig
nant women into the water.
Tli£ ladies shook themselves, and by
consent went home. They have not
spoken since.
The hen disappeared, and was
seen until three weeks afterwards,
when she made her appearance, with
eleven nice yellow chickens. She
found some other fowls nest and had
set in spite o.t_ fate.
But although not broken up herself,
she broke up two matches—for Cyn
thia Bennett was not at home the next
time Timothy called, and Mr. Hen
shaw never forgave Helen for having
such a temper.
The Bane of the Republic.
There can be no doubt that the
prolific source of all our notable po
litical corruptions is office seeking.
Almost never does a political office
come to a man in this country un
sought ; and the exceptions are very
rarely creditable to political purity.—
When men are sought for, and adopt
ed as candidates for office, it is, ninety
nine times in every hundred, because
they are available for the objects of a
party. Thus it is that selfish or party
interest, and not the public good, be
comes the ruling motive in all politi
cal preferment; and the results are* the
legitimate fruit of the motive. Out
of this motive spring all the intrigues,
bargains, sales of influence and pat
ronage, briberies, corruptions and
crookedness that make our politics a
reproach and our institutions a by.
word among the nations. We are in
the habit of calling our government
popular, and of fancying that we have
a good deal to do in the management
ot our own affairs ; but we would like
to ask those who may chance to read
this article how much, beyond the
casting of their votes, they have ever
had to do with the government of the
nation. Have they ever done more
than to vote for those who have man
aged to get themselves selected as
candidates for office, or those who, for
: party reasons, determined exclusively
1 by party leaders—themselves seekers
for power of plunder—have been se
lected by others? It is all a M Ring,’
and has been for years ; and we, the
people, are called upon to indorse and
sustain it.
To indorse and sustain the various
political rings is the whole extent,
practically, of the political privileges
of the people of the United States.—
The fact is abominable and shameful,
but it is a fact “ which nobody cau
deny.” It humiliates one to make
the confession, but it is true that very
rarely is any man nominated for a
high office who is so much above re
proach and so manifestly .the choice
of the people that his sworn suppor
tens do not feel compelled to sustain
him by lies and romances and all sorts
of humbuggery. The people are
treated like children. Songs are
made for them to sing. Their eves
are, dazzled with banners and proces
sions, and every possible effort is made
to induce them to believe that the can
didate is precisely what he is not and
never was—the candidate of the peo
ple. Our candidates are all the can
didates of the politicians, and never
those of the people. Our choice is a
choice between evils and to this we
are forced. Second and third rate
men, dangerous men, men devoured
by the greed for power and place, men
without, experience in statesmanship,
men who .have made their private
pledges of consideration for services
promised, men who have selected
theinselves, or who have been select
ed entirely because they can be used,
are placed before ns'.for our suffrages,
and we are compelled to a choice be
tween thorn. Thus, year after year,
doing the best we seem to be able to
do, we are used in the interest of men
and cliques who have no interest to
serye,but.their own.
And alhthis in the face of the pat
ent truth.that an office-seeker is, by
the ve»;y vice of bis nature, character,
and position, the man who ought to be
avoided and never indorsed or favored.
There is .something ; in the greed it
self, and more in the immodesty of its
declaration in any form, which make
him the legitimate object of distrust
and popular contempt. Office seeking
is not the calling of a gentleman. -No
man with self-respect and the modes
ty that accompanies real excellence of
character and genuine sensibility can
possibly jHace liitnself in the position
of an and enter upon the
intrigues with low minded and merce
nary men, which are necessary to the
securing of his object. It is a debas
ing, belittling, ungentlemanly busi
ness. It takes from him any claim to
popular respect which a life ot worthy
labor may have won, and brands him
as a man of vulgar instincts and weak
, character. We marvel the corrup
, tions of polities, but why should we
marvel ? It is the office-seekers who
are in office. It is the men who have
sold their manhood for power that we
have assisted to place there, obeying
the commands or yielding to the wishes
of our political leaders. It is notori
ous. that our best men are not in pol
ities, ami.caunqt be induced to enter
the field, and that our political rewards
and honors are bestowed upon those
who are base enough to ask for them.
A few of the great .yen of the na
tion have during the last thirty years,
yieldecLfco Jhat which was meanest in
them, and become seekers for the au
gust office of the presidency. Now to
wish for a high place of power aim
usefulness is a worthy ambition, espe
cially when it is associated with those
gifts and that culture which accord with
its dignities and render one fit for its
duties ; but to ask for it and intrigue
for it, and shape the policy of a life
sot it, is the lowest depth to which
voluntary degradation can go. These
men, every one of them, have come
out from the fruitless chase with gar
ments draggled, and reputation dam
aged, and the lesson of a great life—
lived faithfully out upon its own plane
—forever spoiled. How much more
purely would the names of AYeb&ten
and Clay, and Cass shine to day had
they never sought for the highest place
of power ; and how insane are those
great men now living who insist on
repeating tlieir mistake ! It would be
ungracious to write the names of these,
and it is a sad reflection that it is not
necessary.
They rise as quickly to him who
reads as to him who writes. The
great, proud names are dragged from
their heights and the footballs of the
political arena. -The lofty heads are
bowed, and the pure vestments are
stained. Never again, while timo
lasts,.can they stand where they have
stood. They have made voluntary
exposure of their weakness, and drop
ped into fatal depths of popular con
tempt. Now, when we remember
that we are ruled mainly by men who
differ from these only in the faet that
they are smaller, and have not fallen
so far because they had not so far to
fall, we can realize something of the
degradation which we have ourselves
received in placing them in power.
What is our remedy ? We confess
that we are well nigh hopeless in the
matter. -Bread and butter are vigilant.
Politics'to the politician is bread and
butter, and we are all so busy in win
ning our own<hat we do not take the
time to watch and thwart his intri
gues. The only remedy thus far re
sorted to—and that has always been
temporary—-is a great uprising against
corruption and wrong. AY e have seen
something of it in the popular protest
against the thieves of New York Ring.
What we need more than anything
else, perhaps, is a thoroughly virtu
ous and independent press. We be
lieve it impossible to work effectualy
except through party organizations,
but such should be the intelligence,
virtue, and vigilance of the press and
people that party leaders shall be
careful to execute the party will. We
need nothing to make our government
the best of all governments except to
take it out of the hands of self-seeking
and office-seeking politicians, aud to
place in power those whom the peo
{ile regard as their best men. Until
this can be done, place will bring per
sonal honor to no man and our repub
licanism will be as contemptible among
the nations as it is unworthy in itself.

September.

JL BETTER FROM FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
Washington, Friday, Aug. 0,
Colored JFeUoio Citizen* ; —ln
view of the insidious and and danger
ous advice and counsel of Mr. Sumner
I think it is my duty to set forth as
urgent reasons why we, as a race and
as fellow-citizens, all bound up in the
same interest, cannot and should not
vote for Greeley and Brown, but that
to a man who should cast our whole
weight into the scale for Grant and
Wilson.
First—We in the South have been
liberated from slavery by the direct
agency of the Republican party. Had
Greeley been President instead ot Lin
ephi, we would to-day have been in a
worse bondage under the Slave Re
public of the Southern Confederate
States than ever before. Greeley ad
vocated this policy and did his best
to establish the Republic of which
slavery was to be the chief corner
s tone.
Second—Our first vote was cast as
freedmen for Grant, in ISGB. Have
we been disappointed in the result of
his administration? Previous to that
period you had no vote. Now we
have equal rights (or almost equal
rights) with the white race. We can
accumulate property as they do; we
have the law’s protection over us as
they have; our marital relations res
peeted; our wives and children are
our own, and not the property of
others; we can testify in every court;
we have our brethren elected to the
Senate and Congress of the country;
we are a power.that is felt; we hold
the balance of power in America; no
itt>rrupt or vascillating man can be
elected to the Pro ideutial chair un
less we consent to vote for him.
Third—all this has occurred since
18G5, and chiefly since we cast our
vote for Grant ip 1868. t Arc we pre
pareddo risk the abandonment of
these great privileges and blessings,
and vote for a man who believes that
any State may dissolve from the Union
when she sees fit, or pass such laws
as may seem to her best? Are we
prepared to vote for the nominees of
the Democratic party, whose hearts
never have changed toward us, who
kept us in slavery as long as they had
the power, and who, if they had the
power, again, would (to say the least
of it) do tlieir very'utmost to restrict
our liberties and oppress us as of old?
Mr. Simmer may deceive himself; he
cannot deceive us; or, to use the lan
gunge of the gentleman, Mr. James
Ji. Doolittle. Chairman of tlvc conven
tion which nominated Mr. Greeley,
one of the objects of the nomination
being the “overthrow of negro supre
macy.” And forsooth, what is this
supremacy they so much wish to over
throw? It is simply the cancellation
of those ordinary privileges anti bless
ings enumerated in clause second.—
We have no supremacy, and never
expect to have, nor intend to try for.
Fourth—ln conclusion, be not de
ceived ! With Grant our security is
unquestionable; our happiness will be
made lasting. With Greeley we
would enter upon a sea of trouble—an
unknown and anxious future. Un
scrupulous advisers would surround
him, as they even do now; and even
if a few staunch friends should en
deaYor to stem the coming troubles,
they would be swept away with tfie
torrent, and the great work of the
Republican party prove an abortion.
It cannot be that we shall send one
vote out of our entire midst to help
bring about such dire results, and I
pray God that, when the time comes
every man of our race will be found
true to the cause of human rights to
jttl
Fued’k. Douglass.
Useful Propeuties of Charcoal.
—At this season of the year one de
sires to obtain some purifier, and
charcoal is of the greatest t for
the purpose. AL kinds of utensils
can be purified of disagreeble odors
by rinsing them out with charcoal
du#t, wt t into a soft paste. Putrid
water is immediately deprived pf its
bad smell by its use. When meat,
fish, etc., are liable to become spoil
ed from long keeping, charcoal dust
will keep them sweet, and if there is a
slight taint to meat, it can be taken
out by putting three or four pieces of
it as large as an egg into the water in
which it is boiled. This will effectu
ally purify meat which seems too far
gone to use.
Cabbage Fly.— The Rural Messen
ger recommends the following treat
ment for the cabbage fly : Take the
water in which salt fish have been
soaked over night, and with a brush
or broom sprinkle plentifully over the
plants. This is all. One liberal ap
plication, if “fishy enough, will dear
out the fly entirely, so that not a cor
poral’s guard of them will be left, and
the salt will be stimulating to the
plants.
