THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS By SMTTTT. WIKLE & CO.] [For the Standard A Express. 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. tOXTUMMEXT. 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.— t Telegraph & Messenger. The following composition has been turned out by an American scholar aged 15: “ A boy without a father is a hor phan; without a mother, a double horphan; but is offenest without a grandfather and a grandmother, and then lie is a liorphanist.” What class ought never to die with consumption ? Merchants with strong iron chests. 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. fi TW Hio p\»l>lIo land-; must 1)0 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 occurred which carried a house and about twenty acres of ground a dis tance of a third of a mile —the house, fencing and land being unchanged and uninjured. Several persons were in the building at the time, but no one was harmed. Minnesota employed last year in her public schools 4585 teachers, and paid them in salaries $540,388.12. The average wages of male teachers was 837.08 per month, and females, §55.51. “ We have no room for all this,” said our niglit-editor, glancing des pairing!v at a two column obituary; “ it must be cut down to a proper die mention.” The climate of Colorado is dry, the air light and free from miasmatic va pors, and very salubrious. Persons with a tendency to pulmonary and bronchial diseases are greatly benefit tod by its exhilarating influences, and, unless deeply affected, are often per manently cured. “ The little darling he didn’t strike Mr. Jones’ baby a purpose, did he? It was a mere accident, wasn’t it dear?” “ Yes, ma to be sure it was; and if he does not behave himself properly, I will crack him again.” The eleven Territories, as accurate ly as can at present be ascertained, contain over one billion and a quar ter acres, exceeding by nearly two hundred thousand square miles the aggregate territory of all the present admitted States of the Union. The Territory of Alaska, containg 369,529,- 600 acres, is included in the number of acres stated. 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. D. L. 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. Rufus Mason , in Germantown Tele graph. 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.
