THE VALUE OF LIFE.
Trutlatti from tkt French set liu 1. C. Safford.
Dedicated to the “ Cliopian Literary So
ciety,” or Carterst'llle Female Seminary,
CONCLUSION.
*• On© day, before Yago, (tjiis was
the name or the black Haytien I
y<l to my despair about the u se
ll i-ness of my existence, and cried
<>ut, ‘I would cive ten years of iny
life to be placed in the first rank of
our authors.’ ‘ Ten years,’ said he,
coolly, ‘ this is much ; this is to pay
very dear for a little thin*?. Never
mind, I take your ten years, I take
them. Remember your promise, and
I will keep mine.’ I cannot express
to you my surprise when Yago spoke
thus. 1 thought that years had weak
ened Ids mind. Home days after
ward I left tins castle and visited
Paris. Here, I found myself'in the
society of literary' people; their ex
ample encouraged me, and 1 publish*!
several hooks which were a great suc
cess. All Paris was crazy to read
them, the journals resounded with
my praises, the new name which I
had taken became celebrated, and—”
Another gesture of surprise inter
rupted this recital. “You are not
then the Duke of C ?” I cried.
“ No,” he answered shortly. And
I said to myself, “ A celebrated man
of letters! Is he Marmontel, or
d’Alembert, or is he Voltaire?”
The unknown sighed ; a smile of
regret and scorn parted Iris lips, anil
he continued his story:
“ The literary reputation which 1
had craved proved all insutiieient for
an ardent nature like mine. I aspired
to nobler triumphs, and I said to Ya
go, who had followed me to Paris
and who had never left me, ‘There
is no real glory, there is no true re
nown but that gained in a military
career. What is a literary man, a
poet? Nothing. A brave captain,
tin* general of an army, this destiny I
envy, and for a great military repu
tation I would give ten of the years
which remain to me.’
“ 4 I take them,’ answered Yago,
4 I take them, they belong to me; do
not forget this.’ ”
At this part of his narrative the
unknown paused again, and seeing
the trouble and uncertainty painted
on my countenance said, 44 I told you,
young man, that you would deem
this a wild vision, a chimera of the
brain ; yet the rank, the honors I ob
tained were no illusion. The soldiers
that I led to battle, the captured for
trosßOoca and banners, the victories
which electrified France —all these !
were my work, all this glory belong
ed to me.”
Whilst he walked about rapidly
speaking with warmth and enthusi
asm, surprise had frozen my senses,
and 1 asked myself, 44 Who can this
be? IsheCoigny? Is he ltichelieu,
or <‘an he be the Marshal Saxe ?”
From his excitement the unknown
relapsed into sadness, and approach
ing me said with a gloomy air, 44 Ya
go s|M>ke truly; and when, at last
disgusted with the vain pomp of mil- j
itary glory, 1 longed for that which
alone is real in this world, when, at \
the price of live or six years of ex is-!
tence, 1 asked for gold and riches, he
gave them to ine. Yes, 1 had a for
tune that exceeded all my wishes—
lands, forests, castles, all were mine.
Even this morning they were
mine, and if you doubt me,
if you think Yago only a myth,
wait, wait, he is coming and you
shall see with your own eyes that
which will astonish your mind, and
which to mine is unhappily too true.”
lie approached the mantel-piece,
looked at the clock, made a gesture)
of alarm, and said to me in a low
voice:
“This morning at day-dawn, 1 felt
so weak that 1 could hardly lift my \
head. 1 rung for my valet. Yago j
appeared. 4 Why do 1 feel thus?’ 1
asked.
“ ‘ Master, nothing is more natural, j
the hour draws on, the moment is at
hand.’
“ 1 What moment?’ I cried.
“‘ Do you not understand ? Heav
en had allotted to you sixty years of
life ; you had completed thirty when
I began to obey you.’
“ * Yago,’ I shriehed in terror, ‘do
you speak seriously ?’
“ ‘ Yes, master, in five years you
have wasted in pursuits of fame
twenty-tive years of existence. You
gave them to me, they are mine, and
these years of which you have robb
ed yourself will be added to my life.’
‘ “ What! was t his the price of your
services ?’
“ ‘ Others have paid dearer; wit
ness Fabert whom I also assisted.’
“‘ Be silent, be silent!’ I said, ‘it
is not possible, it cannot be true!’
“ ' Very well, but prepare yourself,
for you have only one half hour to
live.’
“ 4 You jest with me, you deceive
me.’
‘“By no means; calculate your
self. Thirty-five years you have re
ally lived, twenty-five you have lost j
—total sixty.’ He turned to depart,
and 1 felt my strength diminish, and
my life ebb away. * Yago, Yago,’ I
called, 4 give me a little time, only a
little more.’
44 4 No, no,’ he replied,’ this would
be to cut off from my own life, and I
know better its value. No treasure
is worth two hours of existence.’
“ I could scarcely speak, a mist veil
ed my eyes, the chill of death con
gealed my veins. ‘Ah, well,’ 1 ex
claimed with an effort, ‘ take back
the wealth for which 1 have sacri
ficed everything. Give me four
hours, and'l renounce my gold, the
opulence which I so craved.’
“ ‘ Well, you have been a good
master, and l would do something
for you. I consent.’
“I felt my strength return, and I
cried, ‘ Four hours! this is so little.
Yago, Yago, for four hours more 1
relinquish my literary fame, ail my
works which have raised me so high
iu the estimation of the world.’
‘“Fcir hours for this,’ said the
black ; ;an with disdain, ‘it is too
much. It matters not, I will not re
fuse vou this last favor.’
“ ‘Not the last,’ said I clasping my
hands, ‘Yago, 1 implore you grant
me until this evening, the twelve
hours, the whole day,—and I throw
to the winds my military renown, all
my exploits anil victories, that they
may be forever erased from the mem
ories of men, and there will remain
no trace of them upon the earth. This
day, Yago, only this day, and 1 shall
be too happy.’
“ ‘ You abuse my goodness,’ said
he, 4 and make a dupe of me. Yet 1
will give you until the setting of the
sun; after that ask no 'more. This
evening 1 will come for you.’
“ * He is gone now,’ continued the
unknown with an accent of despair,
‘ and this day is the last which re
mains to me upon earth.’ ”
He approached the glass door, j
which was open, and looked out up-.
on the glorious park. “ Soon I shall
see no more the beautiful sky, the
green turf, the flowing streams; I
shall breathe no more the perfumed
air of Spring. Fool that I was! These
blessings that God has given to us,
blessings to which I was insensible
and whose sweetness only now I com
prehend, I might have enjoyed them
twenty-five years longer. And 1
have thrown away my life, have sac
rificed it to a barren glory which has
not made me happy and which dies
with me. Look, look!” pointing to
some peasants who were crossing the
park to their work, singing as they
went, ‘what would I not give to
share their labors and their cares!
But I have nothing further to give,
or to hope for, here below—not even
for sorrow.”
At this moment a ray of sunlight,
of May sunlight, lighted up lus pale
and wasted features.
He seized me by the arm in a
species of delirium crying, 44 How
lovely is the sun, and I must lose his
beams! How i must make the most
of this day so sweet, so bright, which,
for me, will know no morrow!”
He darted away into the park and
disappeared down a winding path be
fore I could detain him.
To tell the truth, I had not the pow
er to do this. I fell hack uj>on the
sofa completely overwhelmed by
what I had seen and heard.
Then I arose and walked to and
fro to convince myself that I was
awake and not under the influence of
a dream. Just then, the door of the
tsiudoir opened and a footman an
nounced, “My master, the Duke of
C .”
A distinguished looking man of
some sixty years entered, and giving
me his hand apologized for having
kept me so long. 44 1 was not in the
I castle,” he said, “ I have just come
from the town whither 1 went to
consult a physician about my broth
er, the Count of C .”
44 Is his life in danger, is he seri
ously ill?” 1 enquired.
44 No, sir, thank Heaven!” answer
ed the duke, “but in his youth
thoughts of ambition, and visions of
of glory, inflamed his imagination,
and lately a severe illness in which
his life was despaired of has left his
brain in a state of derangement. His ,
delusion is that he has hut one more
day to live, and this haunts him con
tinually.”
Everything was clear to me.
; “ Now,” continued the duke, 44 let j
us set; what we can do for your ad
vancement. We must go at the end
of the month to Versailles, and i
will present you to the King.”
44 J value your kindness, sir, and
thank you most sincerely, but i must
decline it.”
“What! will you give up the
court, and all the advantages it of
fers ?’ ’
“ Yes, monsieur.”
“Think again; through my in-j
fluence you can rapidly make your
way there and with diligence and
patience you can attain a position,
and retire in ten years.”
“Ten years lost!” I exclaimed.
44 Ah, well,” resumed he with sur
prise, 44 is this too dear a price to pay
for fame, wealth, honors? Let us go
to Versailles, young man.”
44 No, monsieur, I am going back!
to Brittany, and 1 beg you to accept
my grateful acknowledgments, and j
those of my family.”
44 This is madness!” cried theduke.
But, remembering what J had just
heard, I murmured to myself:
44 This is true wisdom.”
The next day I began my home
ward journey, and with what delignt
did I return to the castle of Roclie-
Bernard, tho ancient forests of my
park, tin- sunlight of my native Brit
tany.
1 found again my vassals, my sis
ters, my mother, and happiness which
lias never forsaken me, for eight days
after my return I married Henrietta.

Women, lie contented with what
you have. If you can’t wear silk, be
happy in calico; one fits you just as
well as tlio other, though! do think
there are more real happy hearts un
der calico to-day’ than under silks and
velvets.
Women who must wear costly gar
ments always have so much pertain
ing to their position to engage their
attention, that there is little time to
enjoy woman’s best gifts.
Rank and fashion, no doubt, bring
a sort of pleasant excitement, hutthey
also bring care and conventionalities;
and I wouldn’t be obliged to be a fash
ionable lady for all the world. Oblig
ed to wear just wbut Bom«lH>4pp oluo
said was the style, never daring to
add one inch to the length of my pet
ticoats, or cut them an inch shorter,
for fear of being called unfashionable.
Obliged to do what others do, and
wear what others wear, and buy what
others buy, simply because one is rich
and fashionable'. No, no! I’d rather
be a servant than a mistress. If it
must come to the choice of one or the
other. Ooil defend me from riches !
for I believe that added wealth brings
added woe; at last it would be woe to
persons of my temperament. Per
haps you would like to know what I
do line, having heard so much of
what Ido not like; I don’t care a pin
about it? I’ll tell you however. I
like to see everyone—man, woman
and child—enjoy every blessing which
is given them.- 1 like to see women
contented and happy; women who
are wives, not show figures; women
who would sooner make home pleas
ant than shine in the ballroom! Girls!
it is much better to make sunshine
for one heart than for many. I like to
see a woman who has a husband, love
to make that husband enjoy bis home;
a mother care for and devote herself
to her children; a young girl give up
ilirting ways and if she has not a beau,
set about finding one who is worthy.
If she has one, let those belonging to
other girls alone and make her own
believe he has found a prize.
There’s more misery caused by flirt
ing girls than any other thing. Per
haps I’ll tell you a story, sometime—
a real, true story. I know one, and—
but pshaw, what’s the use? One
might just as well be silent as to at
; tempt to convince woman that riches,
j and fine clothes, and flirting were not
i the best of all good things bestowed
|by a kind father. Home, love and do
j mestic comfort are not always spelled
with golden letters.
HONESTY IY CHURCH AM) OUT OF IT.
It is a subject of regret, that while
our pulpits resound with doctrinal ar
guments and fulminations against the
more glaring vices of the day, so lit
tle is said of the necessity of strict in
tegrity, and the rigid observance of
all contracts and obligations between
men. Indeed, there is reason to be
lieve that grave errors have even
crept Into the church, and many are
permitted to remain in full commu
nion with the pious, who are want
ing in the common principles of hon
esty.
Is it a light thing to use your!
neigbor’s goods and money, and then, |
because it is inconvenient or detri- j
mental to your personal interests, to j
re-imburse him when pay day ar- j
rives, ignore the claim, or seek to
evade it by some legal subterfuge?;
“ Pav that thou owest,” is the injunc- j
tiou'of holy writ; and in the eye of j
an all seeing and just God, no earthly
possession or item of value is yours, so
long as any legitimate obligation re- i
mains unsettled. ,
The trite expression “the world
owes me a living,” “ self-preservation
is the first law of nature,” etc., etc., I
are merely the resort of knaves, and |
apply to the foot-pad who subsists by
robbery on the highway. And
though earthly tribunals may relieve
you from the payment of your debts,
at the bar of conscience, and in the
presence of an offended God, you
shall not be held guiltless! Much of
the spiritual deadness, which obtains
j in the church, is due to this slackness
; in business transactions, which, if re
: prehensibie in the world, becomes
doubly criminal among those who
| should be exemplars of truth and
righteousness. Sapless branches of
I the spiritual tree, they should be lop
j ped off as unfruitful and profitless.—

HORACE GREELEY'S LETTKR ACCEPT IVC
THE VOSII.VATIOV.
New York, May 20. —Gentlemen
—I have chosen not to acknowledge
your letter of the 3d inst., until I
could learn how the work of your con
vention was received in ail parts of
our great country, and more, whether
that work was approved and ratified
by the mass of our fellow citizens.
Their response* from day to day reach
ed me through telegrams, letters and
comments of journalists independent
of official patronage and indifferent to
the smiles and favors of power. The
number and character of these uncon
strained, unpurchased, unsolicited
utterances satisfied me that the move
ment which found expression at Cin
cinnati has received the stamp of pub
lic approval, and has been hailed by a
majority of our country as the har
binger of a better day for the Repub
lic. Ido not misinterpret this ap
proval as especially complimentary to
myself, nor even the chivalrous and
j ust ly esteemed gentleman with whose
name I thank your convention for as
sociating mine. I receive and wel
come it as a spontaneous and deserved
tribute to that admirable platform of
principles wherein your convention
so tersely, so forcibly set fortli the
convictions which impelled, and the
purposes which guided its course, a
platform which, casting behind it the
wreck and rubbish of worn-out con
tentions and by-gone feuds, embodies
in fit and few "words the needs and
aspirations of to-day. Though thous
ands stand ready to condemn your
every act, hardly a syllable of criti
cism or cavil has been aimed at your
platform, of which the substance may
be fairly epitomtized as follows :
1. All political rights and franchis
es which have been acquired through
our late bloody convulsion, must and
shall be guaranteed, maintained, en
joyed and respected evermore.
2. All political rights and franchis
es which have been lost through that
; convulsion should and must be
promptly restored and re-established,
so that there shall be henceforth no
proscribed class and no disfranchised
caste within the limits of the Union,
whose long estranged people shall re
unite and fraternize upon the broad
basis of universal amnesty and im
partial suffrage.
3. That, subject to our solemn con
stitutional abligation to maintain the
equal rights of citizens, our policy
should aim at local government and
not centralization; that the civil au
thority shall be supreme over milita
ry, the habeas corpus should be jeal
ously upheld as the safeguard of per
sonal freedom; that the individual
citizen should enjoy the largest liber
ty consistent with public order, and
there shall be no Federal dictation of
the internal policy of the several
States, but that each shall be left free
to enforce the rights and promote the
well-being of its inhabitants by such
means as the judgment of its own peo
ple shall prescribe.
4. There shall be a real and not
merely a simulated reform in civil
service of the Republic, to which end
it is indispensable that the chief des
pensor of its vast official patronage
shall be shielded from the mean temp
tation, to use his power selfishly by a
rule inexorably forbidding and pre
cluding his re-election.
5. That the raising of revenue
whether by tariff or otherwise, shall
be recognized and treated as the peo
ple’s immediate business, to be shaped
and directed by them through their
representatives in Congress, whose ac
tion the President must neither over
rule by his veto, nor attempt to dic
tate or presume to punish by bestow
ing office only on those who agree
and withdrawing from those who do
not.

sacredly reserved for occupation and
acquisition by cultivators and not
recklessly squandered on the projec
tors of railroads for which our people
have no present need, and the prema
ture construction of which is annually
plunging the United States into deep
er and deeper abysses of foreign in
debtedness.
7. The achievement of these grand
purposes of universal beneficience is
expected and sought at the hands of
all who approve of them, irrespective
of pint affiliations.
8. The public faitli must at all haz
ards be maintained, and the national
credit preserved. _
0. The patriotic devotedness and
estiuable services of our fellow -iti
zensi who as soldiers or sailors upheld
the flag and maintained the unity of
the lt'public, shall be gratefully re
membered and honorably requitted.
These propositions so ably and for
cibly yresented in the platform of
your cmvention, have already fixed
the attmtion and commanded the as
sent of i large majority of our coun
trymer who joyfully adopt them as
the baas of a true benefieient national
reconstruction, of anew departure
from the jealousies and strifes and
hates which have no longer an ade
quat« motive or even plausible pre
text, Into the atmosphere of peace,
fraternity and mutual good will. In
vain 4o the drill sergeants of decaying
organizations flourish menacingly
their truncheons and angrily insist
that the files shall be closed and
straightened. In vain do the whip
pers-i* of parties, once vital because
rooted in vital needs of the hour, pro
test agunst straying and bolting, and
denou tce men in no wise their inferi
ors as traitors and renegades, and
threaten them with infamy and ruin.
I am confident that the American
people have already made your cause
their own, and resolved that their
brave hearts and strong arms shall
bear it on to triumph. In this faith
and with the distinct understanding
that if elected I shall be President not
of a party but of the whole people, I
accept your nomination in confident
trust that the masses of our country,
North and South, are eager to clasp
hands across the bloody chasm which
has too long divided them, forgetting
they have been enemies and joyful in
the corisciousnesss that they all re
main brethren.
Yours gratefully,
Horace Greeley.
Out in Oregon recently a land-slide

was harmed.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSIAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1872.
Agricultural Department,
crrrnc day.
Many planters in gathering hay let
it lie in the field until it is entirely
dry. To accomplish this, it is usually
exposed, night after night to heavy
dew s, and not unfrequently to rains
which greatly injure the appearance
as well as quality of the hay. The
proper way to cure hay is to cut it
early in the morning, and spread it
carefully over the ground turning it
up to the sun and wind once or twice
during the day, with a rake or fork,
and hauling it under shelter just be
fore night. If the sun is bright, al
most any hay will be sufficiently cur
ed in a single day to keep, and it will
be bright in color, and much more
palatable to the stock, as well as more
nutricious than deadened by two or
three day’s exposure. In putting it
away, arrangements should be made
to spread the cutting of each day over
a covered mow or pen, to the depth
of one or two feet, and sprinkle salt
freely over it. It is well to have two
or three pens for depositing the hay,
s*/that each day’s cutting may lay two
or three days before more Is added to
it. This precaution is not necessary
where the grass is mown in the mor
ning and has one day of bright sun
upon it.—Ex.
“ FENCING M*TAXATION.”
A happy expression, and true as it
is happy. Fencing in fields to keep
out enemies, and other intruders, be
longs to the age of castles for defeme.
Who would make a farmer build an
expensive castle for any purpose of
defense whatever? Stop the wrong
ful invasion of his premises, and no
work of resistance will be needed, and
no oppressive tax imposed.
The practice of invading another
man’s land, if he does not defend it
by a w all, hedge or rail fence, cannot
be justified on any principle of sound
policy or justice. All such works,
cost what they may, belong to a semi
savage era in man’s development.
Both fence and defense mean war;
not that peace and good will that
must finally beat speai-s into pruning
hooks andsw T ords into plowshares.
Reader, do not be afraid of progress
in the direction pointed out by the
New Testament. All war is an ex
pensive luxury, a demoralizing
wrong. If there be any truth in the
Bible, or virtue in an enlightened
conscience, it is wicked to compel
any man to defend his person, or his
property. A good man, w’ho respects
the “golden rule,” will impose no
such unnecessary labor, (which is a
tax), nor inflict any such fear of inju
ry from his live stock, which is a sin.
My stock have no more right to in
vade my neighbor’s unfenced crops
than 1 have to burn bis barn or house.
Such invasion is war—liorrida bella.

SHOEING HORSES.
If a person will study the anatomy
of the foot of a young horse that has
never been shod, he will readily per
ceive that more skill is required to tit
a shoe correctly than simply to nail a
shoe to a block of wood. Every
blacksmith should procure a foot of
some horse that has not worn a shoe
for a long period, so that lie may the
more readily perceive and understand
how to tit the shoe to the insensible
shell of the hoof. The wear and tear
incident to traveling falls almost en
tirely on the sharp rim of the hard
shell of the hoof when tho foot is not
shod. When a horse is to be shod,
the shoes should be fitted to the feet,
rather than the feet to the shoes, the
weight of the animal should rest on
the hard shell of the hoof, and not on
the soft sole on the inside of the shell.
Besldoe this, tl«--frog which answers
the same purpose beneath the foot as
the large rolls of india-rubber umle"
railroad cars, should never be v as
away. The frog will wear aged to
last as any portion of it w Proprietor
be removed; hence eyf c the liorse
of a horse should o> ny part G s the
shoer not to remf ny country smiths,
liog. A what office
\\ho do nsf orms> w iu cut away a
, I ,;'' 10 A) port ion of it every time a
! ? e is fitted to the foot. Another
tung should never be allowed, which
is applying a hot shoe to the hoof to
burn it down level rather than shave
it. A hot shoe injures the elasticity
and tenacity of the hoof; hence a
blacksmith should never be allowed
to fit the shoes by burning the hoof.
A Fill IT DRYEK.
Your correspondent “ Down in Jer
sey” wants a cheap and effective fruit
dryer. 1 have waited till now hop
ing someone else would give their
views upon the subject, but as noth
ing very definite or precise has ap
peared, I take the liberty to send you
this. Take any common stove, plant
it firmly upon its feet in some place
most convenient, and enclose it with
a brick wall, leaving out one brick in
the back part for the cold air to enter.
When the wall is up to the level of
the top of the elbow in the pipe, ar
range for a door which may hang on :
hinges or slide up, down, or to either j
side as may suit best; then lay two ]
more courses, and insert at every
course after that two three-eight inch
round iron rods in the mortar joints
all the way up as high as you wish to
go. These rods are to lay from front
to back to support the shelves, which
are slid in upon them from one side of
the oven to the other. Make the
shelves of tin nailed to strips of wood,
one and a half inch wideand one inch
thick. These shelves must be as wide
as the inside of the brick ease, but not
so long by two inches. The top of
the oven may be covered by two-inch
plank kept in place by a course or two
of brick laid in mortar.
Put the shelves in place so that the
hot air may pass under the lower one,
then over it, then at the end up and
under the next one, leaving the end
openings alternately at one end and
then at the other open; this will
make a draught of hot air which will
dry the fruit very quickly in all kinds
of weather. Tin is better than woven
wire for the shelves, being more easily
cleaned, and by forcing the air in a
zigzag course will require a less in
tense heat than an ascending current,
consequently less danger of burning
the fruit. Tomatoes cut in half, and
the seed core taken out, laid cup side
up, dry rapidly, and are much better
than when canned. Fruit should be
laid on the shelves so as to retain all
their juice; sweet corn must be par
boiled and then dried quickly, or it
will sour. This dryer is fly and dirt
proof, does its work perfectly, and
where much fruit is raised, will pay
for it itself twice over in a season.— B.

LADIES IY THE GARDEN.
A writer in the Eufaula News says
that no gentleman, of course, ex
pects his wife to work in the garden
all day. But a wife may render con
siderable assistance to her husband by
devoting a portion of her time to the
superintendance of garden work.
The Mobile Register adds:
We could name a refined and high
ly cultivated lady living within less
than thirty-five miles of Mobile, who
last year, while her husband was en
gaged in business away from home,
personally superintended a little or
chard and garden so well that its pro
ducts for the season brought in nine
hundred dollars clear cash. This
would seem to argue that something
might be done by the ladies sure
enough.
