THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. Tty SWTTTT, WIKLE & CO.] [For the Standard A Express. 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. Tunis G. Campbell, the negro Sen ator and magistrate, who has lorded it over the people of Mclntosh coun ty since the war, has been sentenced to the Penitentiary for five years. Thus the rascals are meeting with jus tice. IWntO.Vl MIL'S. 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. Dagger. 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. G. It. Parks. Washington, Wilkes county, Ga., May Hf/i, 1872. 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.

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 tent with what he has. The worst misfortune is to be una ble to bear misfortune. Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as a sunbeam. He who takes the best care of to day has the least fear of to-morrow. Debt is a horse that is always throwing its rider. Fools ride him bare-backed and without a bridle. More than half the evils we endure are imaginary. So it is with our pleasures; most of our enjoyment con sists in anticipation. 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 s;n force its way into that part of the soil and is suffered to dwell there the road is pa ved for a thousand iniqui ties. Independant of worldly considera tions, mental pursuits invariably be 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 ing was the grief displayed in B —, at a funeral a little out of * town! The undertaker, who was directing mat ters ill a very professional and prop er way, noticed a man giving orders, and, as he thought, rather encroach ing upon the duties and privileges of 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.” An Irishman who had blistered his fingers t rying to draw on a pair of books, exclaimed aloud: “ I believe I shall never get ’em on till I wear ’em a day or two.” 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. Agricultural Department. 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 Greeley mlffn drmpl tamppl nypunt scrllgg' gp. Prllntyl ot grnshx drull tzmt begplp in wrltt wemnlz dr gun nozlt.” 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!” New Advertisements.
