THE
FOUNTAIN OF FRIENDSHIP.
IraiiUied From tbs Spuiik by li,i 1. C. hferi
Julian, an aged man, was seated
quietly on the bank of a little rivulet,
one pleasant afternoon in autumn.
His ha irs whitened by the snows of
many years inspired respect, and his
gentle countenance shadowed forth
the calm of that virtue which reigned
in his heart.
“ J f the morning of life,” he said to
himself, “ is the most interesting pe
riod, is its evening therefore less strik
ing? The setting sun often easts a
more glorious light than the rising
orb. Thus, on a stormy (lay when he
reaches the limits of the western ho
rizon ami breaks through the clouds
which obscured his noontide radiance,
the dying beams of light paint the
sky with the most vivid and beauti
ful colors.
So the good man at the close of this
troubled life, goes, with unwavering
faith to light the linal scene, within
the veil which hides from mortal eyes
another world; and years after his
departure the memory of the just
shines brightly amongst men, even as
the heavens retiect a brilliant tint
long after the sun has gone down.”
Thus thinking, Julian looked
around and admired the thick forests,
the verdant meadows, the ripened
harvest fields that made up the land
scape, and perhaps enjoyed them the
more keenly that he Knew he must
soon leave them.
Presently he noticed two children
who seemed much astonished and
grieved.
The tenderness of the old man’s na
ture and his love for childhood would
not allow him to remain inactive.
Arising, he approached them and in
quired the cause of their trouble.
“ Ah, Kenor,” replied theeldest, in
the Springtime there flowed through
a cleft in that rock a stream of living
water to which for its beautiful situa
tion we had given the name, ‘Foun
tain of Friendship.’
“ For you must know, Senor, that
from our youngest days, Louise, this
girl who is with me, and I, (who am
called Manuel,) have been great
friends. To-day, wearied with the
heat, we came to play by the shaded
stream, and we find it dried up and
the grass around it parched and with
ered. Is it not a sad thing that in so
short a time the fountain of friendship
should have disappeared?”
“My children,” replied Julian,
“your mistake is that of many sensible
but impulsive people who contract
friendships without knowing whether
those to whom they bind themselves
are worthy of the sweet name of
friend.”
“ Deceived by the rapid fall of the
cascade, enchanted with the voices of
the little birds who sang around, and
with the fragrance of the wild Mow
ers growing near, you looked with
delight at the glittering waves and
associated them with your friend
ship.”
“ You took no notice of an humble
little brook near by which springs
from the foot of a mountain, is adorn
ed with ivy on either side, and, as it
glides over a bed of white pebbles, is
never dried by the summer heat.
The fountain that you chose is an
emblem of false friendship, which
makes grand promises, excites many
hopes, but i ! times of need never real
izes any of its boasted kindness.
Now follow me and see the spring
which really deserves to be called,
“f ho Fountain of Friendship,’ since
its waters are always calm, pure, and
fresh.”
Saying this, Julian led them to the
foot of the mountain and showed them
the brook shrined in its leafy retreat,
through which the sunlight might
wander and play, but never scorch.
“ Dear little ones,” he said, “whilst
these sweet waters How, often visit
this place, and after my death re
member him who led you to it, and
the lesson he would teach you.”
The children, tilled with the tender
enthusiasm of early youth, gazed with
eager pleasure.
“ Yes, yes,” they replied, “ we will
recollect it so long as the waves flow,
and if we should ever be tempted to
forget that we are friends, and to for
get the name of Julian, we will look
at this spring, and the memory will
come again fresh as to-day.”
“The quiet friend is a friend lorever,
While noisy love dies of its own high fever!”
OI U BEAlTll’l L SOITU.
It will not be long before the tour
ist seeking to enjoy the beauties of na
ture and the pleasures of travel will
learn that within the limits of the
Southern States he can find all that
the most exacting taste can demand
or the most enthusiastic devotee of
beauty can desire. All that is neces
sary is that the increase of traveling
facilities should continue for ihe next
few years as they have during the
past year, and the entire country will
be covered by a complete net work of
railroads. Snoyld he take pleasure in
the grandeur oi mountain scenery, in
the western portions of Virginia* and
North Carolina and East Tennessee
he can find it as rough and rugged as
in the most romantic regions of the
old world. Should he prefer the
pleasing pictures of wood ami dowers,
of rivers and lakes the balmy breezes
of Florida will woo him to their soft
embrace. He can find the jungles of
India in the wilds of Arkansas, the
pampas of South America on the
plains of Texas, the fertility of the
Nile in the fields of Alabama and Mis
sissippi and Louisiana, a generous hos
pitality in the homee of the genial
Georgians, the beauty of an English
meadow in the blue grass regions of
Kentuck, the courtly cultivation of a
kingly race in the unconquerable Car
olinian, the more mellowing influence
of an older civilization upon the quiet
farms of Maryland, the mighty move
ments of modern energy in the mag
nificent development of the Missouri.
It embraces every variety of climate
from the soft and delicious atmos
phere of Florida to the cool and brac
ing air of Virginia. It affords every
species of bird and beast and fish and
fowl that can tempt the skill of the
sportsman or whet the appetite of the
epicure. Its rivers are running reser
voirs of perennial richness, upon
whose broad bosoms are borne the
bread to bless the distant nations, or
carried the cotton to clothe the conti
nent. From flowers floats a fra
grance that fills to fullness the aro
matic air, while their gorgeous garbs
give a graceful glory to the green
woods. '1 he soft and silken splendors
of its summer skies speak sweetly to
the soul of him who is taught by"the
quiet beauty of nature.
HOLD ON.
Hold on to your tongue when you
are just ready to swear, or speak
harshly, or use any improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you
are about to strike or do any wrong.
Hold on to your feet when you are
on the point of kicking, or running
away from study, or pursuing the path
of error, shame, or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you
are angry, excited, or imposed upon,
or others angry about you.
Hold on to your good name at all
tunes, for it is much more valuable to
you than gold, high places, or fash
ionable attire.
Hold on to truth, for it will serve
you well, and do you good through
out eternty.

NO. 111.
After the decline and final termina
tion of the Roman Empire, in the
eleventh century, the use of surname#
was partially revived, but limited to
the nobility, as among them alone
were legal rights recognized. Even
when patronimics began a second
time to be introduced, it required
several centuries to introduce them
generally among the common people.
We read of a lady who objected to
marrying a son of King Hengy I, Ire
cause he had no surname, saying, “It
were to me a great shame to have a
lord without his twa name,” and ac
cordingly the king named him Fitz-
Roy, Son of the King.
In the sixteenth century surnames
were more common, as the parish
registers to record baptisms gave sur
names a permanency they never had
before.
In the seventeenth century, how
ever, when the two great revolutions
in England continued with the refor
mation had fully developed the
great principles of civil and religious
liberty and established popular rights
upon a solid foundation, then it was
that patronimics were demanded, for
the reason hereinbefore assigned, that
surnames mark infallibly a period of
civilization in every people. *d’o no
tice in detail all the phases of this in
tonating subject might fully subject
me to the imputation of being too
elaborate. I shall oiyit the most
prominent.
It is needful that'we classify the
different modes of deriving perman
ey, in addition to what has already
been adduced.
I now speak of names that were
introduced in modern times, and the
theory by which patronimics, as we
now have them, can be accounted
for.
The first and most natural method
of designating would be to add or
prefix syllables to the father’s name
to obtain a surname. Thus,“Adam,
Adamson; William, Williamson, &c.
Andrew, Anderson; Benjamin, Ben
son, Bencock ; David, Davison, Da
vis, Davies, Davison; Elias, Ellis,
Ellison; Gilbert, Gibbons, Gibbon,
Gibbon, Gibson, Gilphin; Geoffry,
Jefferson, Seilers; Henry, Harry,
Harrison, Hawkins; John, Jones,
Johnson, Jack, Jackson, Littlejohn,
Upjohn, Michejohn, Applejohn. To
follow the alphabet through might
be too tedious.
Sometimes the surname was de
rived from the mother. Hence, Nell
gives Nelson; Meg, Megson, and
Fatty gives Patterson.
It is related by some philologist,
that the word news is composed of
four letters, the initials of the four
cardinal points, north, east, west
and south, whence the material comes
to constitute news. This is a nice
piece of discovery, whether it ac
counts satisfactorily for the coinage
or not.
While it is true that the larger
number of surnames have been de
rived from Scripture names, such as
John, David, etc., the name Sunday
is particularly Pagan. The idola
trous nations of Northern Europe
dedicated the day to the sun, and
their descendents retained the name
after Christ ordained the Sabbath.,
and called it Sunday. Sunday, how
ever, is not a patronimic.
The next mode of designation
would be localities. Hence, Bridges,
Banks, Fields, Fountains, Ac. Others
were named from their country:
Burgoyne, from Burgundy; Jane
way, from Genoa; Alman and Deal
man, from Germany. Others again
from cities, towns, and villages, in
which they lived. Kent, Essex,
Warwick, Preston, Ac. We read the
epitaph:
“ llcvo lies, (alas!) and more the |)itv,
All that remains of John New C ity.”
“N. 15.—'The man’.- mi mu was New Town
which would not rhyme.”
The next in order are those derived
from occupation. The special atten
tion of the Seignor Editor is invited
to the origin and extent of his pat
ronimic.
The name Smith is the most nu
merous of all others known to the
English language, and if the ety
mology he correct, we would be
crowded with a few more, provided
they all would follow the trade of
their primitive parentage. The rea
son assigned for the great multipli
cation of the name, is that all work
men who smote witli their tools were
called Smiths, (smitan, to strike,)
whether in wood, stone, or metal.
It is stated that a wager was once
laid, that John Smith had been hung
or transported once every three years
at the (fid Baily Session in London,
and the wager won.
By referring to Robson’s Directory
of London, for 1839, there were 967
traders named Smith, and more than
100 werfi Johns. The general Regis
ter office in England shows that from
July 1, 1837, to July 1, 1838, there
were 5,588 Smiths born in England,
whilst 4,044 died, leaving a clear gain
in one year of 1,544, while 3,005 were
married in the same time.
The next numerous name is Tay
lor, of whom 2,647 Yvere born during
the year just mentioned. The Ba
kers, (1033); Wards, (985,); and
Wrights, (1,398.)
Knowing that you and your read
ers prefer short articles, I close here,
with the promise to give a few more
of the same sort in my next, not for
getting you, Mr. Local, as I know
you want to seo your name in print.

SCENE IN A STREET CAR.
Enter a consequential colored
troop, who condescends to scrape
chins and cut hair force consideration
with his “ lady.” The car is full of
white trash,” who don’t seem inclin
ed to favor the “ lady” with a seat.
C. C. T. scowls around with a most
significant aiyl portentious frown,
but tho“ white trash” “stick.” Jerk
goes the bell, and the C. C. TANARUS., in the
most tragic tones, exclaims: “Dri
ver! stop. If none of dese men ain’t
gwine to have manners enough to
give dis lady a seat, I’m gwine to git
out.” And with a stride he reached
the door, jumped to the ground,
and walked loftily away. What
an impolite set these “ white trash”
are, to be sure.
Old Hicks was an awful snorer.
He could be heard farther than a
blacksmith’s forge, but his wife be
came so accustomed to it that it sooth
ed her repose. They were a very do
mestic couple—never slept apart for
many years. At longth the old man
was required to attend court at some
distance. The first night after his
departure his wife never slept a wink.
The second night passed away in the
same manner without sleep. She
was getting into a very bad way, and
probably would have died, had it
not been for the ingenuity of a ser
vant-girl. She took the coffee-mill
into her mistress’ chamber, and
ground her to sleep at once !
In a little village in Virginia there
lived a family named Hansom. They
were not pious people—rather on the
reprobote order, in fact—-and they
never went to church. Once, how
ever, during a revival, the family
were prevailed upon to attend preach
ing. V hen they made their ruluc
tant and tardy appearance the ser
vices had begun, and they had
scarcely taken their seats when the
preacher gave out the first hymn,
reading it somewhat thus: “Return
ye ransom’ sinners, home.” “All
right,” cried the head of the Ran
soms, getting up in a rage, and clap
ping his hat on his head. “Come
along, old woman and gals, we’ll go
home fast enough, and everybody in
the old church knows we didn’t want
to come.”
[From the Southern Christian Advocate.
A WC YDKRFtL SPUING.
Mr. Editor: About three years ago,
there was discovered some "ten miles
north of Dahlonega, Lumpkin coun
ty, Ga., a spring of most remarkable
curative properties. That it has not
attained greater notoriety, is owing
to the fact that it is the "property of
orphan children; so, mindful of the
injunction “ To do good, and to com
municate, forget not,” I desire to di
rect the attention of the diseased to
this promising refuge for health. As
to the facilities for reaching the place,
and accommodations for visitors, I
may briefly state in the outset, that a
hack runs "from Gainesville to Dah
lonega, and the Spring; and that
there is a hotel at which board can
be obtained for S2O per month.
Many persons, variously diseased,
have resorted to the waters of this
spring, since its discovery, and have
been permanently healed. I have
learned facts with reference to the
sanitary virtues of this water, from
sources so authentic as to convince
me that no spring ever before discov
ered, has wrought so many marvel
lous cures within so short a time.
Brother Quillain, my predecessor
on this circuit, has a brother who
was distressingly afflicted with dys
pepsia, so much so, that he was "re
duced to a mere skeleton. He visited
this spring, and using its waters for
six weeks, he was entirely cured.
During his stay, he gained one
a day, until his weight ran up to one
hundred and fifty pounds, and subse
quently to leaving, he gained ten
pounds more. He says, “ his flesh
became as the flesh of a little child,”
and he continues to enjoy excellent
health.
A young man sorely afflicted with
rheumatism, went to this spring on
crutches. In about three weeks the
disease seemed to be eradicated from
his system, and he could run, leap
and lift, equally well with men in
health, of the same strength.
Another, diseased by spinal dis
ease, after three or four weeks’ use of
this wonderful water, was enabled
to discard his crutches, and was as
active as any ordinary, sound man.
Still another, enormously swollen
by dropsy, was speedily reduced to
his natural dimensions by the use of
this water. »
These instances, among many oth
ers, have been reported to me upon
such reliable authority, as to place
their credibility beyond all question.
Brother Dodge, presiding elder of
the Dahlonega District, told me of
an old man who had a malignant
sore on his foot, of several years’
standing, upon which physicians had
exhausted their skill to no purpose,
who was speedily cured by the use of
this water. Brother D. recommends
the spring highly, and gives it as his
opinion, that the only reason why
any go away not thoroughly cured
is, that they presume upon the won
derful improvements they experience
in a little while, and leave too soon.
I have not the slightest interest in
this property, and in calling atten
tion to what I regard this “ Wonder
ful Spring,” I have been impelled
solely by the hope that I might be
the means of doing the afflicted good.

WOMANLY MODESTY.
Man loves the mysterious. A
cloudless sky, the fullblown rose,
leaves him unmoved, but the violet
which hides its blushing beauties be
hind the bush, and the moon, when
she emerges from behind a cloud, are
to him sources of aspiration and pleas
ure. Modesty is to merit what shade
is to figures of painting-.it gives it
boldness and prominence. Nothing
adds more to female beauty than mod
esty : it sheds around the countenance
a halo of light, which is borrowed
from virtue. Botanists have given to
the rosy hue which tinges the cup of
the white rose the name of “ maiden
blush.” This pure and delicate hue
is the only paint Christians should
use; it is the richest ornament. A
woman without modesty is like a fad
ed flower, which the prudent garden
er will throwfrom him. Her destiny
is melancholy, for it terminates in
shame and repentance. Beauty pass
es like the flower of the aldo, which
blooms and dies in a few hours; but
modesty gives the female character
charms which supply the place of the
transitory freshness of youth.
DISCONTENT.
Some people are never content with
their lot, let what will happen.
Clouds and darkness are over their
heads, alike whether it rain or shine.
To them every incident is an accident
or a calamity. Even when they have
their own way, they like it no better
than yous way, and, indeed, consider
their most voluntary acts as matters
of compulsion. We saw a striking il
lustration the other day of the infirm
ity we speak of, in the conduct of a
child about three years old. He ivas
crying because his mother had shut
the parlor door. “ Poor thing,” said
a neighbor, compassionately, “you
have shut the child out.” “ It’s" all
the same to him,” said the mother:
“ lie would cry if I called him in and
then shut the door. It’s a peculiarity
of that boy, that if he is left rather
suddenly oft eiffior side of a door, he
considers himself shut out and rebels
accordingly.” There are older chil
dren who take the same view of
things.— Our Own Fireside.
AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
You may worm a fence around a
winter’s supply of summer weather,
skim the clouds from the sky with a
teaspoon, catch a thunderbolt in a
bladder, break a hurricane to harness,
lasso an avalanche, pin a diaper on
the crater of an active volcano, have
all the stars in a nail keg, hang the
ocean on a rail fence to soak in a gourd,
unbuckle the belly-band of eternity,
and paste “To let” on the sun and
moon, but never for one moment, de
lude your-self with the idea that you
can escape that place on the other side
of purgatory unless you pay the prin
ter promptly.
MECHANICS.
They are the palace-builders of the
world; not a stick is hewn, not a stone
is sharpened in all the lordly dwell
ings of the rich, that does not owe its
beauty and fitness to the skill of the
industrious mechanic. The towering
spires that raise giddy heads among
the clouds depend upon the mechan
ic’s art for their strength and sym
metry. Not an edifice for devotion,
or business, or comfort, but bears the
impress of their hands. How exalted
is their avocation, how sublime their
calling!
HARD TO BELIEVE.
A story is told of an old ox in Wis
consin which survived the longest
living burial on record. He had the
good fortune, however, to be buried
in a liay-stack, which fell upon him.
Nobody knew what had become of
the creature until after his mysteri
ous disappearance had lasted" over
three weeks, when he put out an ap
pearance from the hay-stack, having
eaten his way from centre to circum
ference. There was snow on the
ground, which afforded moisture
enough to prevent his dying from
thirst.
YES, INDEED.
A Georgia scribe says: To see a
wasp-waisted young lady, in ringlets
and abundance of flounces, gracefully
sail to the head of the table, and with
a voice as angelic as a tenor flute, call
to the waiter for a mess of cold pos
sum and koilards, is the most trying
thing romance can encounter.

A GOOD STORY.
In Washington City, recently, a ge
nial young gentleman unwilling to
omit recognition of an acquaintance at
a wedding reception caught sight of a
gray whiskered, and rather stately
person, and, being satisfied by inqui
ry of his identity, immediately edg
ed along to his side.
“Good evening,” said he, extend
ing his hand with cordiality. “I’m
delighted to see you! 1 believe we
haven’t met since we parted in Mex
ico.”
“ Really fear,” said the gray-whis
kered magnate, “ that you have me at
an advantage.”
“ Why, you don’t recollect! But
then I was much younger,” said the
other, “ when with father in Mexico.”
“ And, to tell the truth,” said the
other gentleman, “ my remembran
ces of ever having been in Mexico are
very indistinct.”
“ Excuse the question,” said the
young man, rather desperately: “are
you not Sir Edward Thornton?”
“By no means. I am Judge Po
land, of Vermont.”
“ A thousand pardons!” andthedis
comfitted youth moved away.
But a few nights afterward, at an
other reception, his eye was similarly
caught, and the edge of his mortifica
tion having been worn off, he could
smile at his mistake, aud he accord
ingly made his way once more to the
side of a gentleman with gray mut
ton-chop whiskers, and after a word
or two on the weather and the scene,
he suddenly said:
“ That was an awkward thing of
me the other night, when I took you
for old Thornton.”
“ And who do you take me for now,
may I ask?” said his companion.
“ Why—why,” said the embarrass
ed young man of society—“ you told
me you were Judge Poland, of Ver
mont.”
“On the contrary, my name is
Thornton” was the rather annihilat
ing response; and the young man to
this day calls it a case of diabolic du
ality.
GEMS OF WISDOM.
He is the richest man who is con

More than half the evils we endure

There are two feelings common to
all high or affectionate natures —that
of extreme susceptibility to opinion,
and that of extreme bitterness at its
injustice.
Endeavor to keep your conscience
always soft and sensitive. If but one

soil and is suffered to dwell there the
road is pa ved for a thousand iniqui

Independant of worldly considera

stow a rich reward on their votary,
in the delight attendant on their cul
tivation, and the temporary oblivion
at least of all anxious cares, in the ab
straction they require.
A Cool Relation.— How touch

his own office.
“ And who are you my friend, that
you are so busy about here?”
“ Oh! don’t you know me ?”
“ No, I don’t.”
“ Well, I’m the corpse’s brother.”

1Y THE WRONG BED.
An amusing incident occurred in
Carver street last evening. A lady
went up stairs to put her little son to
bed, and as she was about to light
the gas the child, hesaring a sound of
breathing, cried out, “Oh, mama,
there’s a dog in the bed.” “ Guess
not, child; 1 ain’t no dog,” in an an
gry, childish tone came from the bed.
Turning toward the couch, the lady
saw two eyes, shining like balls of
fire in the darkness. Seizing her
child she ran affrighted and scream
ing to the street. Two police were
summoned. With clubs and dark
lanterns in hand they invested the
chamber; and when the gas was
turned on, there snugly coddled up
under the bed clothes, Yvas a four or
five year old darkey, as self possessed
as if upon his mother’s knee. “ Who
are you?” said the officer. “Horace
Greeley Bennett, sir,” said the child.
“ Where do you live?” “In Ander
son street.” " “ How did you come
here?” “ Father went out wid the
ice cream, and I tuk a walk.” The
little fellow had seen the front door
open, and entered. Going quietly
upstairs and finding an unoccupied
bed, he laid his drowsy form upon it
for rest. The lady’s heart had ceased
to throb with fear, and giving Hor
ace Greeley Bennett a doughnut, she
consigned him to the custody of the
police, who sent him home.
The usual eagle has again appeared,
with outspread wings, aim erookt
talons, and threatning beak, to carry
i away the usual baby. Since the days
: of the story and the picture of the
! Sunday school books, the eagle has
j never succeeded in carrying off the
child. It is queer, however, that ea
! gles do not appear unless children are
! out playing. At least they are never
I seen except by some faithful dog or
loving mother, who defends the in
fant. This time the eagle appeared
in a town on the Hudson, and the
mother, with the usual difficulty, res
cued the child. It is sometimes the
case that the eagle story resembles
that of the three black crows; we have
known the eagle to be a hawk, and
the child to be feeding chickens; we
have heard of the eagle being only a
hen defending her chicks from the
infant; but in the last case a paper
having tokl the story, a ruthless con
temporary says “ it was only a gilt
tin eagle.”
The New York Sun, which is sel
dom satisfied with things, objects to
the proportions of a rattlesnake recent
ly seen in Carter county, in this State,
and described as reaching from one
side of the road to the other, while its
body was big as an ordinary churn.
The Sun says “ that was a very badly
proportioned snake,” and that “it
should have been a good deal longer,
or else a good deal thinner.” \Ye
should like to know who is running
the snakes of this State, the State her
self or the editor of the New York
Sun ? When things come to such a
pass that New York arrogates to her
self the right to dictate to Kentucky
the size and shape of her serpents, it is
high time for the trumpet to sound
to arms and for the sword to leap
from its scabbard.— Courier-Journal.
The Largest Claim Yet.—Colo
nel W. W. Warden, as attorney for
Mrs. Anna M. Fitzhugh, has filed the
largest claim ever filed before the
Southern Claims Commission. The
demand is for $375,000 for wood and
timber taken for supplying the Unit
ed States army during the rebellion f
from the large estate of Mrs. Fitzhugh
in Fairfax county, Va., known as
“ Ravensworth.” Amongthe papers
filed is a safeguard in the handwriting
of Gen. Winfield Scott, dated J une 14,
1861, which reads as follows: “ Mrs.
A. M. Fitzhugh, of Ravensworth, a
lady of great excellence, connected
with the Father of his Country, is,
with her family servants, house and
property placed under the safeguard
of the army.”
The Springfield (111.) Journal gives
this: “ Not long since a sleepy mem
ber of the lower branch of the Legis
lature requested a fellow member to
wake him Yvhen a certain bill involv
ing the interest of lumbermen came
up. This agreed upon, the sleepy
member was soon in the land of
dreams. It so happened that a cer
tain theft and perjury came up, and
it was fairly under way the
sleepy member was aroused. He,
rubbing his eyes, arose and addressed
the Speaker: ‘Mr. Speaker I wish to
say a few words upon this bill, for the
fact is, the most of the people up our
way make their living by this trade.’
It is needless to add that his remarks
were appreciated and highly applaud
ed
“ Now” is the Watchword.—
Our future is always before us. The
past is fixed. No tears can wash away
its facts. Let us waste no vain re
grets upon it; but from the wisdom
its very mistakes and sins have be
queathed us, start afresh on the race.
Though yesterday we were weak, sel
fish, indolent, let us to-day—at this
moment—begin to be strong, brave,
hopeful, just, considerate, generous,
tender, truthful, pure, patient, forgiv
ing. “ Now” is a glorious word.
“ Henceforth” is always within our
grasp.
Labor and Thought.—Alexan
der Hamilton, one of the greatest
men that America ever produced gave
the secret of suscess as follows: “Men
give me some credit for genius. All
the genius I have lies just in this:
When I have a subject in hand I
study it profoundly. Day and night
it is before me. I explore it in all its
bearing. My mind becomes pervad
ed with it. Then the effort which I
make the people are pleased to call the
fruits of genius. It is the fruit of la
bor and thought.”
Politeness. —Manners, says the
eloquent Edmund Burke, are of more
importance than laws. Upon them
in a great measure the law depends.
The law can touch us here and there,
now and then. Manners are what
vex or soothe, exalt or debase, by con
stant, steady, uniform, insensible op
eration, like that ofthe air we breathe
in. They give their whole form and
color to our lives. According to their
quality, they aid morals; they sup
ply them or they totally destroy
them.
Two members of the Old Catholic
congregation in Cologne have resolv
ed to be married by their own clergy
man, a Jesuit Father, Reve by name,
who this year preached Lent sermons
in the Cathedral, publicly referred to
them, and though the marriage is un
questionably legal, declared that they
Nvould be living in a state of concubi
nage if the ceremony was performed
by their own. clergyman alone. The
bridegroom intends to bring an action
against Father Reve. ,
Speaking for the London Missiona
ry Society at Gloucester, the Rev.
Griffith John said there were at pres
ent 70,000 Christian converts now in
China. It has been asked by some of
the Chinese, who were thorough bus
iness men, “ How much will you give
me to love the lord Jesus Uhrist?”
(The congregation laughed.) “Aye,”
he said, “you smile; but there’s a
great deal of that principle in this
country, I can tell you.”
An Indiana farmer, after trying to
trap, poison and shoot rats that over
ran his premises, bought two goats
and gave them the range of yards and
stables. Within a week every rat
emigrated and staid away until the
goats were sold, nearly two years af
terward, when they all came back. A
second supply of goats were procured,
and since then not a rat has been seen
on the premises.

MECHANICAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The substantial growth and pros
perity of every town or city is based
upon its Mechanical Improvements
and industrial resources. YYherever
the hum of machinery is heard, and
the manufactory for" any article of
general use is "established, there, it
may be safely asserted, are the true
elements of thrift and progress; be
cause production is the life of trade,
and through the channels of trade
flows the life-blood of the civilized
and commercial Yvorld. Hence, the
vital importance to all Southern cities,
of establishing manufactories. Too
long, alas! have they relied upon the
workshops and spindles of New and
Old England to supplv them with
clothes for raiment and implements
for labor. Too long have they look
ed elsewhere for articles of daily use
which might have been easily pro
duced at home, by the proper appli
cation of a little capital, enterprise
and labor. It is to this suicidal poli
cy on the part of our people, that
may be attributed much of their
present poverty and dependence.
Before the war the Southern people
were prosperous, as merely an agri
cultural people, but in no other re
spect, and yet their soil was, and is
rich in mineral wealth and their wa
ter-power sufficient to run the machi
nery of a dozen worlds like this. Hut,
relying solely, as they did, upon the
production of cotton for nearly every
thing they used or desired—including
food and raiment—we all know and
still feel the disastrous consequences
which followed, Yvhen the labor in
slaves Yvas destroyed, thus destroy
ing the source of our only produc
tion.
If years ago, cotton manufactories,
machine and workshops had been es
tablished all through the Southern
States, to work in unison with the
production of the raw material, their
population, in 1870, would have near
ly equaled that of the Northern States,
and our people as a mass would have
been far happier and wealthier, and
the terri blecivil war and its consequen
ces would never have been known.
But the past is gone, and from it we
can derive no benefit save the impor
tant lessons which experience teaches.
It is not yet too late for the people of
the South to turn these important
teachings and truths to their advan
tage. The soil is still teeming with
fatness and richness in minerals, aud
their majestic rivers and sparkling
rivulets still flow on to the sea and
invite enterprise and capital to their
banks.
SOWING tU>YF.R*SEKD IN ALG IST.
Being a constant reader of your
valuable paper, and feeling a deep in
terest in Agricultural pursuits, I wish
to learn of your patrons the best
mode of growing clover, and therefore
Yvould be glad to exchange thoughts
on this subject with different agricul
turists.
I have lived twenty years in this
region, and have raised clover for six
teen years of the time. I have sown
the seed in mid Yvinter on the snow,
in the spring, in the summer, and in
the fall, and have had the seed fail of
catching in all the seasons except
when sown in the month of August.
I now settle down upon the opinion
that this is the proper time to sow
the seed, more especially in this cli
mate, as, in three years out of four,
we have a drouth between April 2Uth
and the Ist of July, lasting many
times for months, and entirely burn
ing out the grass that spring from
winter or spring seedlings. These
drouths are not so common in the
Eastern States where spring sowing
may do well.
My mode is to sow in the month of
August, and to put no crop with the
seed, except it is for protection.
When sown after raising a crop of
oats enough oats will come up from
the stubble for protection. Corn is a
sure crop for clover to catch with, if
sown between the rows; even then I
should sow oats with the seed.
I find the use of plaster on my clo
ver to be good. In 1869 we had a
good grass season. That year I did
not use plaster, but in 1870 I mowed
the same ground that I had mown
the year before, and my hay was in
creased one third over the previous
year. In 1871 I used piaster, yet this
year was not so favorable for grass as
1870 was. The increase I credit to
the use of plaster.— Western Farm
er.
WEED SEEDS.
The seeds of cockle, cheat, and oth
er weeds that mix with the screening
from the fanning mill, should be pre
vented from getting mixed with the
manure in the barn yard. We once
permitted a neighbor to run a few
bags of grain through our fanning
mill, and gave him the run of the
barn for that purpose. When he had
finished, and during our absence, he
—doubtless with good intentions—
scattered the screenings all over the
barn yard so that the fowls might get
the waste grain. This probably was
intended as a sort of recompense for
the use of the mill. Alas! we never
regretted more than on this occasion
the doing of a favor that resulted
badly for ourselves. Our manure
pile was thoroughly seeded with
cockle and cheat, and probably ten
years of labor will be inflicted on us
before those seeds can be eradicated
from the field on which that manure
was spread. We mention this cir
cumstance as a warning to others,
and also a forcible reminder to all
that weed seeds should be consumed
with fire and utterly destroyed.
Don’t feed them to poultry; they
won’t eat cockle, and the seeds seem
to last forever; by hook or by crook
they will get into the fields somehow.
Put them in the stove and you will
have seen the last of them.
SIZE OF GEORGIA FARMS.
The Savannah Republican takes
from the Agricultural Department of
the Census of 1870, the following rela
tive to Georgia farms:
Total number of farms in the State,
69, 956. Number of farms of three
acres and under ten, 3,257; ten acres
and under twenty, 6,942; twenty acres
and under fifty, 21,971; fifty acres
and under one hundred, 18,371; one
hundred acres and under five hun
dred, 17,490; five hundred acres and
under one thousand, 1,506; one thou
sand acres and over, 419.
Average size, 338 acres. In 1860,
the average size was 430 acres.
Land in farms, 23,647,941 acres ; in
1860 it was 26,650,490. Improved
acres, 6,831,856; in 1860 the number
was 8,062,758. Unimproved acres,
16,816,085; in 1860 it was 18,587,732.
Per eentage of unimproved land in
farms, to total land in farms, 71.1; in
1860 it was 67.7.
The following counties return
farms of one thousand acres and over,
being the largest return, viz: Baker,
15; Columbia, 20; Coweta, 12; Dough
erty, 21; Hancock, 12; Houston, 13;
Jefferson, 17; Jones, 19; Laurens, 13
Lee, 19; Macon, 14; Stewart, 22;
Sumter. 12; Talbot, 16; Twiggs, 25.
The following counties have the
largest number of farms, viz: Carroll,
1,138; Gilmer, 1,087; Liberty, 2,082;
Washington, 1,652.
Liberty county has 616 farms of
three acres and under ten, and 749 of
ten acres and under twenty; [the great
majority no doubt being negro farms
—Ed. Rep.]
The harshest thing that has been
said of Mr. Greeley is the remark of a
Welsh paper in Scranton, which act
ually asserted that “ Bip gin ly 11

FRriT TREES.
To make fruit trees bear largely for
many years in succession, the soil un
der them should not be cultivated,
should be plowed summer and fall,
and manured every year; it is said
that the best manure for bushes and
trees is their own leaves and twigs;
these should bo gathered in a heap
every autumn, mixing therewith
some barn yard manure, to be damp
ened occasionally to keep the leaves
from getting dry and being blown
away; then spread out in the early
spring; in addition, a bushel of lime
mixed well with two or three bushels
of wood ashes, spread under each tree
once a year would add greatly to their
fruitfulness.
The reason fruit trees die in a few
years, or begin to bear less fruit and
of an inferior quality, is because the
trees, not being matured, exhaust the
quality of the soil about them, neces
sary for their sustenance.
If three gallons of grape juice will
make one gallon of as good syrup for
domestic use as is described in the
following paragraph, which we quote
from the California Agriculturist,
there are many who would like to
know it:
The grajtes should lie left on the
vine until well ripened and partially
dried—about in the condition as when
used for port wine. When in that
condition, three-parts grape juice
make one of syrup. The syrup may
be used on hot cakes, to sweeten and
flavor pit's and sauces, for making
preserves, apple-butter, and, in fact,
it is found to be greatly superior in
flavor and more palatable than cane
syrup or sugar for these uses. It is
not claimed for it that grape syrup is
equal in saccharine value to cane syr
up, but its superior flavor is a surprise
and delight to all who use it.
A CIRE FOR lIYDROI’HOBIA.
A Saxon forester, named Gostell,
now of the venerable age of 82 years,
unwilling to take with him to the
grave a secret of so much importance,
has made public in the Leslie journal
that which he used for 50 years, and
wherewith lie affirms he has rescued
many human beings and cattle from
the dreadful death of hydrophobia.
Take immediately warm vinegar
and water or lepid water, wash the
wound clean, dry well, then pour a
few drops of muriatic acid, because
mineral acids destroy the poison of
the saliva, by which means the evil
effects of the latter are neutralized.
This is simple, and upon the princi
ples which are supposed to govern the
circulation of the poison, an effective
cure.
ITEMS WORTH COMMUTING TO MEMORY.
A bit of glue dissolved in skim
milk and water will restore old crape.
Half a cranberry bound on a corn
will soon kill it.
An ink-stand was turned over up
on a white table-cloth; a servant
threw over it a mixture of salt and
pepper plentifully, and all traces of it
disappeared.
Picture frames and glasses are pre
served from flies by painting them
with a brush dipped into a mixture
made by boiling three or four onions
in a pint of water.
Bed-bugs are kept away by wash
ing the crevices with strong salt wa
ter, put on with a brush.
Soft soap should be kept in a dry
place in the cellar, and not used until
three months.
Fanny Fern writes with reference
to the expensive toys now in vogue;
“ The doll of my bib days was a
crook necked squash, with a towel
for a dress, and a numerous progeny
of little cucumbers for babies; and I
was just as happy, and a great deal
better contented, than the little girl
of to-dav with a SIOO Paris doll.
BAD AIR.
Air, the breath of life, is the first
want of the human being, and it is
also the last. At every pulsation du
ring life we need this life-sustaining
element. Yet one would suppose, by
the bad ventilation of houses, church
es, and theatres, that a man was made
to live without air—at least, that it
was a matter of indifference whether
he had much or little, or whether it
was good or bad. We read in the
papers of the death of persons from
suffocation in wells, mines, or by es
caping gas, and we are startled, Yvon
dering why people will be so careless;
yet thousands of people die by inch
es, or only half live, in consequence
of the impurity of the air yvhich they
breathe. If one is shut up in a small
room without any admission of fresh
air, the air contained within the room
soon becomes impure by having been
breathed over and over, and very
great lassitude or depression of life
and spirits is the consequence. The
blood requires to be revitalized con
stantly Yvithin the lungs by coming
in contact Yvith atmospheric air. In
deed, that is the whole office of the
lungs, to aerate or revitalize the blood
(which is there met by the atmos
pheric air), and change it from dark
venous blood to bright scarlet arterial
blood, thus preparing it to carry life
to every part and tissue of the system.
In the lungs the blood loses many of
its impurities, and takes on the life
giving oxygen from the air; and in
proportion as the air is abundant and
pure Yvhich Yve breathe, in that pro
portion Yve have the glow of health
and the enthusiasm of living Yvhich
comes from Yvell-vitalized blood.
Egg-Eating Hens. —Feed freely
with burnt bones pounded fine, give
access to lime and ashes. In the win
ter season, place within reach a sup
ply of coarse sand or gravel. This
treatment, in most cases, will prevent
the evil.
An old and experienced farmer
says that swelled jaws in sheep can
b£ effectually cured by rubbing the
inside of the jaws and mouth with a
mixture made of alum and salt, equal
parts of each.
Anecdote of the Road.—A
lawyer riding through a town, stop
ed at a cottage to inquire his way.
The lady of the house told him he
must keep right straight on for some
time, and then turn to the right; but
said that she herself was going to
pass the road he must take, and that
if he would wait a few minutes she
would show him the way. “ Well,”
said he, “ bad company is better than
none—make haste.” After jogging
on five or six miles, the gentleman
asked if he had not yet come to the
road he must take. “ Oh, yes,” said
she, “ we passed it two or three miles
back. But I thought bad company
was better than none, so I kept you
along with me.”
The servant of a Prussian officer
one day met a crony, who inquired
ofhimhowhe got along with his
fiery master. “Oh, excellent!” an
swered the servant; “we live on
very friendly terms; every morning
We beat each other’s coats; the only
difference is, he takes his off, and I
keep mine on.”
The Count de Grasse was once
wounded in the knee with a musket
ball. The doctors cut and hacked
and made many incisions, when get
ting out of all patience, the Count
asked why they cut him up so much.
“We are seeking,” said the surgeon,
“ for the ball.” “Why didn’t you
mention that before? ' I have 'the
ball in my pocket.”
Ping Wing, the fireman’s son, was
the very worst boy in all Canton;
he stole his mother’s pickled mice,
and he threw the cat in the boiling
rice, and he ate her up, and then says
he, “ Me wonder where the mew-cat
be!”
