MA R Y’S CHILD.
A STOKV FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS,
fmtlaltd fron lb Genua k I'm l. lew.
In front of a large forest there lived
n wood-cutter with his wife, who
inul an only child which was a maid
en three years old. Hut they were
so poor that they had no longer their
daily bread and knew not what they
would give her to eat. One morning,
full of care, the wood-cutter went out
into the wood to his work, and as he
cut the wood there stood suddenly
lx‘fore him a large, beautiful lady,
who had a crown of glittering stars
upon her head, and said to him: “ 1
am the Virgin Mary, the mother of
Christ; thou art poor and needy;
bring me thy child, 1 will take her
with me and lx? her mother and take
care of her.” The wood-cutter heark
ened, took his child and gave her to
the Virgin Mary, who bore her with
herself into Heaven. Then it went
well w ith her; she ate sugar-bread
and drank sweet-milk, and her
clothes were of gold and the little an
gels played with her. When she
was fourteen years old, the Virgin
Mary one day called her to her and
said: “Dear child, I have a great
journey before me; there, take the
keys of the thirteen doors of Heaven
into thy keeping; twelve of these
thou mayest open and see the glories
therein, but the thirteenth, to which
this little key belongs, is forbidden
thee; beware that thou opnest it not,
or thou wilt be unhappy.”
The maiden promised to be obedi
ent, and when the Virgin Mary was
away she began and saw'the wonders
of Heaven; every day she openened
one until the twelfth came around.
Hut in every one she saw an apostle
and was surrounded by light and
splendor. She rejoiced over all the
beauty and magnilicence, and the
little angels who accompanied her
rejoiced with her. Now the forbid
den door alone was left, then she ex
perienced a great desire to know
what was concealed therein, and said
to the little angels: “ I will not open
it wide, but I will so unclose it that
1 may see a little through the crack.”
“Ah! no,” said the little angels,
“ that would be a sin; the Virgin
Mary has forbidden it, and it might
be unfortunate for you.”
Then she was silent, but desire and
curiosity were not silent in her heart,
but gnawed and pricked therein con
tinually, and left her no rest. And
once when the little angels had gone
away, she thought, “Mow 1 am all
alone, and if L should once look in,
nobody would know it, even if I do.”
She sought the key out, and as she
held it in her hand she stuck it in
the lock, and when she had stuck it
in she turned it also. Then the door
sprang open, and she saw what was
therein in glory and splendor and
looked about with astonishment; for
a little while she stood with her lin
ger on the splendor, and her linger
became all golden. Then a great
anxiety seized her, she slammed the
door hastily and runaway. Do what
she would, the anxiety would not
again depart, and her heart beat
strongly and would not rest; the
gold also remained on her finger,
and went not away, wash it and rub
it as she would.
Not very long after, the Virgin
Mary came back from her journey.
Kho called the maiden to her and de
manded again the keys of Heaven.
When she handed her the bunch, the
Virgin looked her in the eyes and
said: “Hast thou not also opened
the thirteenth door?”
“ No,” answered she.
Then the Virgin laid her hand up
on the maiden’s heart, felt how it
beat and beat, and discovered indeed
that she had disobeyed her command
and had opened the door. Then she
asked yet again: “Hast thou cer
tainly not done it?”
“ No,” said the maiden for the
second time.
Then she looked at the finger which
had become golden from contact with
the Heavenly lire, and saw indeed
that she had sinned, and spoke for
the third time: “ Hast thou not done
it?”
“No ? ” said the maiden, for the
third time.
Then spoke the Virgin Mary:
“Thou hast not hearkened to me,
and hast, moreover, lied; thou art
no more worthy to be in Heaven.”
Then sank the maiden into a dee])
sleep and when she awoke she lay
upon the earth in the midst of a
wilderness. She wished to cry out,
but could bring out no tone,; she
sprang up and wish 'd to run. away,
but wherever she turned she was al
ways held back by a dense thorn
hedge which she could not break
through. In the midst of the soli
tude stood an old hollow tree which
must be her dwelling. She crept in
to it when night came, and if it
stormed and rained she found shelter
therein. But it was a sorrowful life,
and when she thought how beautiful
she had been in Heaven and the an
gels had played with her, she wept
bitterly. Hoots and wood-berries
were her only food: she sought them
as far as she could go. In autumn,
she gathered the fallen nuts and
leaves and bore them into the hole;
in winter, the nuts were her food,
and if snow and ice came she crept,
like a poor little animal, into the
leaves so that she did not freeze. In
a short time, her clothes were torn in
pieces, and one part after another fell
from her body. So soon as the sun
shone warm again, she went out and
sat before the tree and her long hair
covered her on all sides like a man
tle. So she sat, one year after an
other, and experienced the sorrow
and woe of earth.
001*0, when the trees stood again
in fresh green, the king of the land
hunted in the wood and followed a
deer, and because it had fled into the
thicket which surrounded the hollow
tree, be alighted, tore away the
bushes and hewed himself a path
with his sword. When he had press
ed through, he saw under the tree a
wonderfully beautiful maiden, who
sat there and was covered down to
her feet by her golden hair. He
stood still and looked at her full of
astonishment, then accosted her and
said, “\\ ho art thou ? Wherefore
dost thou sit here in the solitude ?”
But she gave no answer, for she coukl
not open her mouth. The king
spoke again: “ V ilt thou go with me
to my castle?” Then she noddl'd a
little with her head.
The king took her upon his arm,
bore her to his horse and rode away
with her. And when he came into
the royal castle, he let her put on
beautiful clothes and gave her every
thing in abundance. And although
she could not speak, she was so beau
tiful and charming that he loved her
dearly, and it was not long ere he
married her.
When about a year had passed, the
queen brought a son into the world.
Thereupon, in the night, as she lay
alone in her bed, the Virgin Mary
appeared to her and said, “If thou
wilt speak the truth and confess that
thou hast opened the forbidden
door, 1 will open thy mouth and give
thee speech again, but if thou perse
verest in sin and liest obstinately, I
will take thy new-born child with
me.”
I hen was the queen allowed to an
s\ver, but she remained obdurate and
7 s0 ’ u °t open the for
bidden door, and the Virgin 5 J ary
took the new-born child out of her
arms and vanished. On the next
morning, when the child was not to
be found, a murmur arose among the
people that the queen was a cannibal
and had destroyed her own child.
She hoard all and could say nothing
against it, but the king would not
believe it because be held her so dear.
After a year the queen bore an
other son. In the night the Virgin
Mary again stepped to her and said :
“ If thou wilt confess that thou hast
opened the door, I will give thee
again thy child and will loose thy
tongue, but if thou perseverest in sin
and iiest, 1 will take also this new
born one with me.”
Then said the queen again, “ No, I
did not open the forbidden door,”
and the \ irgin Mary took the child
out of her arms and bore it into
Heaven with herself.
On the morrow, when the people
heard that this child had also van
ished, they said aloud that the queen
had devoured it, and the king’scoun
cil demanded that she should be ex
ecuted. But the king held her so
dear that he would not believe it,
and commanded the council on pain
of corporal punishment or of death
not to sjxiak of it more.
In the third year the queen bore a
beautiful little daughter; then ap
peared to her also again by night the
Virgin Mary and said, “Follow me.”
: She took her by the hand and led
her into Heaven and showed her
j thi-re both her eldest children who
J smiled on her and played with the
globe. As the queen rejoiced over
this, the Virgin Mary said, “If thou
wilt confess that thou hast opened
the forbidden door, I will give back
both thy little sons.”
The queen answered for the third
time, “ No, I did not open the for
bidden door.” Then the Virgin
Mary allowed her to sink down
again to the earth and took from her
the third child also.
On the next morning, when it was
known, all the people cried aloud,
“ The queen is a cannibal; she must
be sentenced to death,” and the king
could no longer keep hack his coun
cil. Then a Court of Justice was
held and because she answered not
anil could not defend herself she was
condemned to die upon the funeral
pyreffitfThe wood was brought to
gethr r.uul when she was bound to
the stake and the lire began to burn
around her, then the hard ice of pride
melted anil her heart was touched
with penitence anil she thought,
“ Could I before my death confess
that I opened the door ?” Then her
voice came to her so that she cried
aloud, “ Yes, Mary, I did it,” and
immediately Heaven began to rain
and extinguished the flames and
over her brought a light, anil the
Virgin Mary came down and had
| both the sons at her side, the new-
I horn little daughter on her arms.
She spoke kindly to her: “He who
repents and confesses his sins, to him
they are forgiven,” and reached to
her the children, loosed her tongue,
and gave her happiness for all her
life.
TIIK PERIL OF (IIAYGIYI. LIMA IV THE
CARS—AY OIMURASSIYG PREDICA
MEYT.
A good story came in with the
overland train on Monday night.
Among the passengers was a young
| man possessed of a judicious econo
j my and a pardonable share of vanity.
[ The judicious economy was made
' manifest to the other occupants of the
' car by the fact that the young man
wore plain clothing and a single
j Cheviot shirt, all the way from Chi
cago ; and for the pardonable vanity
—well, how that became apparent is
where the joke comes in. He hail
only been to the East on a visit, and
the girl he left behind him had been
notifled in advance of his approach,
and, in company with a few other
I friends, was to meet him at Niles’
station. Visions of rapture floated
through his brain, and, seating him
self in a secluded corner of the car,
lie poured forth his spirit’s gladness
in a gush of melody, somewhat as
I thus:
“ Home again, home again,
From a loh-hoh-reign shore;
And, oh! it tills my so-o-oul with joy
To me-ha-cat my friends once more.”
Suddenly he hushed his notes of joy
and reached for liis carpet-bag.
The appalling idea flashed across
his mind that his shirt which had
done him such good service—which
had dung to him during the toilsome
journey across 2,(HK) miles of moun
tain, plain and desert—was not ex
actly the thing to appear in when
one wished to intensify an already
good impression. It certainly would
not be the clean thing, he said to
himself—it wouldn’t be justice to the
shirt. So he resolved to change it.
But howj? The ear contained several!
lady passengers, and they watched
everything t hat was going on around
them with an assiduity that did hon
or to the sex. “Ah, ha! str-r-rategy, 1
my boy!” said this resolute young
man unto himself. “ The tunnel—
we are approaching the tunnel. I
can do the deed in the long tunnel
just beyond Sunol; and with a heavy I
smile on his manly features, he grace-1
fully lifted his carpet-bag from the
floor, unlocked it, and drew forth a j
snowy shirt with nice frilled bosom. 1
Then from another recess drew he a I
little packet containing a pair of!
sleeve-buttons and a set of studs,
which were quickly adjusted in their
proper places. Casting a furtive
glance from the window he saw the
train was not for from the tunnel 1 j
where the metamorphosis was to take I
place, and so he turned his hack up-1
011 the other passengers and began to !
loosen sundry buttons—in short, pre- j
pared to shuck himself. Presently j
the eventful moment came. The i
iron horse plunged into the dark re
cesses of the tunnel, and the car was j
shrouded in impenetrable darkness, j
Presently a ray of light gleamed in !
fantastic shapes along the rugged l
wall of the tunnell, and by its faint j
glimmer a struggling figure was dis-!
cernible in the direction of the young
man’s seat. As the light became |
stronger its gyrations grew more I
frantic. Its great long arms, incased
in white, thrashed wildly about as
though in the agony of dispair, and
finally, when with a shriek of joy the
engine dashed into the dazzling sun- 1
light, it shrank into its seat apparent
ly crushed with mortification and
chagrin.
The ladies screamed with terror
and hid their blushes at the unusual
apparition. Strong men crushed
their handkerchiefs into their mouths
and nearly choked with emotion.
The figure reclined motionless on the
soft cushion, until someone, with
more courage than the rest, advanced
to ascertain who and what it was.
Finally, the terrible truth was re
vealed. The white covering was
lifted, and from beneath appeared the
features of our young friend, clothed
with carnation’s richest hue. The
mystery was soon explained. He
had gotton the Cheviot off, but alas!
in his hurry and excitement he had
forgotton to undo the collar fastening
of the elegant white frilled front.
I Horror! It would not go over his
head!
weeping-willow has a history.
1 he first scion was sent from Smyrna
in a box of tigs to Alexander Pope.
General Clinton brought a shoot to
America from Pope’s tree at the time ,
of the Revolution. This was planted
on the estate of John Park Custis, in
\ lrgima, and became the ancestor of!
a numerous progeny.
An Indian in Detroit visited an j
icecream saloon. The Free Press
says:
“The first taste set all his teeth
jumping, and the next one satisfied
him That sotiie one had put up a job
on him. He handed it to the boy'
with instructions to warm it up. The
boy melted it on the stove, and the
! Indian seized the dish and drank the
sweet milk at one gulp, and then lick
! ed the dish.”
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 187*2.
THE STAMP ABOLITIONS.
A Washington correspondent has
prepared the following epitome of
stamp taxes abolished by section 36 of
the now tax law, which takes effect
on October Ist:

anil orders, is all of schedule B that is

SILENT MEN.
Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it up
confused and abashed. In the
framing of the Constitution of the
United States, the labor was almost
wholly performed in committees of
the whole, of which George Wash
ington was day after day the chair
man, but he made two speeches du
ring the convention, of a few words
each, something like one of Grant’s
speeches. The Convention, however,
acknowledged the master spirit, anil
historians affirm that had it not been
for his personal popularity and the
thirty words of his first speech, pro
nouncing it the best that could be
acted upon, the Constitution would
have been rejected by the i>eople.
Thomas Jefferson never made a
speech. He couldn’t ilo it. Napo
leon, whose executive ability is al
most without a parallel, said that his
greatest difficulty was in finding men
of deeds rather than words. When
asked how he maintained his influ
ence over his superiors in age and ex
perience when * commander-in-chief
of an army in Italy, he said by re
serve. The greatness of a man is not
measured by the length of his speech
es or their number.
A REMEDY FOR THE HEADACHE.
Dr. Warburton Begbie (Edinburgh
Medical Journal) advocates the use of
turpentine in the severe headache to
which the nervous and hysterical
women are subject. “There is,
moreover,” he says, “another class of
sufferers from headache, and this is
composed of both sexes, who may be
relieved by turpentine. I refer to the
frontal headache, which is most apt
to occur after prolonged mental effort,
but may likewise be induced by un
duly sustained physical exertion,
what may be styled the headache of
a fatigued brain. A cup of very
strong tea often relieves this form of
headache, but this remedy with not a
few is perilous, for bringing relief
from pain, it may produce general
restlessness, and—worst of all—banish
sleep. Turpentime in doses of 20 or
30 minims, given at intervals of an
hour or two, will not only remove the
headache, but produce in a wonder
ful manner that soothing influence to
which reference has already been
made.
That wicked Danbury News fellow
says: “ The majority of women care
but little about suffrage. If the backs
of car-seats could ordy.be hollowed
out to admit of their bustles lapping
over, the ballot might go to thunder
for all they care.”
A distinguished Grant man in New,
York, on reading Sumner’s speech,'
threw down the paper and exclaimed
(with some approach to profanity),
“ I don’t like it.” “ Why not?” in
quired a friend. “ Because,” replied
the angry critic—“ because—because,”
continued he, stammering, “ because
it is true.” —Golden Age.
Mr. Beecher says that as soon as we
have politics settled, business reform
ed, human nature elevated, he is de
termined to form a society for the re
formation of botanical names.
A colored man was once asked why
he did not get married. “ Why, you
see, sail,” said he, “I got an ole
mudder, and I liab to do fur her, ye
see, sah, an’ es I didn’t buy her shoes
an’ stockings fur her, she wouldn’t
git none. Now es I was to git mar
ried, I’d hab to buy dem tings fur
my wife, and dat’ud be taking’ de
shoes an’ stockins right out or my
ole mudder’s mouf.”
DIDN’T LIKE MUTTON.
A good story is told of the recent
excellent performance of Handel’s
Messiah at the Broadway Baptist
church. A former took his wife to
hear the grand music, so splendidly
rendered on that occasion, and, after
listening with apparent enjoyment,
the pair became suddenly interested
in one of the grand choruses : “We
all, like sheep, have gone astray.”
First, a sharp soprano voice exclaim
ed :
“‘We all, like sheep—”
Next, a deep bass voice uttered, in
the most earnest tones:
“ We all, like sheep—”
Then all the singers at once assert
ed:
“ We all, like sheep—”
“ Darned if I do!” exclaimed old
rusticus to his partner. “ I like beef
and bacon, but I can’t bear sheep
meat!”
There was an audible titter in that
immediate vicinity, but the splendid
music attracted attention from the
pair, and they quietly slipped out.—

i IIOU ALRIf I LTritAL PAPERS PAY.
We quote from the Carolina Far
mer this edifying story of what a far
seeing husbandman in one of the back
neighborhoods of Eastern New York
did, some twenty years since, to en
hance the value of his property, by
elevating the standard of agriculture
among the farmers around him, none
i of whom took a weekly newspaper or
agricultural periodical:
He subscribed for twenty copies,
and had them mailed to as many of
! his townsmen, selecting those* in
I whom he had most htqie. He wrote
to all, telling what he had done, and
saying he would receive nothing for
the paper the first year, at the end of
which, if they did not consider it
worth the dub price, they could stop
it, and inform him of their decision.
Some of the farmers were so prejudic
ed that they would not read them,
hut their children did, and told the
parents what they had found, and fi
nally all became interested, and every
one subscribed, or got their sagacious
neighbor to do so for them, the next
year. From the time thejournals be
gan to be read, improvement in the
general farm practice commenced.
Improved Implements were obtained,
draining and turning in of green
crops was introduced ; one bought a
new breed of fowls, and another a fine
ram ; another a Berkshire boar, and
another a mowing machine, anil so
on; by degrees there was a general
improvement in the system of farm
ing, and a c orresponding increase in
the market value of the land in the
neighborhood, and this liberal neigh
bor sold his farm and went West. He
told the writer that he was satisfied
that the twenty papers, donated five
years before he sola his farm, enabled
him to realize fully $2,000 more for it
than he would have done, had he not
given impetus to farm improvement
in the neighborhood by inducing the
farmers to read.
FARMING IY HARD TIMES.
When the best of farming barely
pays, there is no chance for the poor
farmer. If this continues, he must
from necessity drop out and another
take his place. Thus in hard times
we are losing our poor farmers; better
are gradually taking their place.
The best of farming, however good
or poor it may be, always pays. It
! is the part which is in the ascendant,
: and must reap the benefit—little per
haps, hut all the more when the pros
perous time returns. It will do then
to inform one’s self, particularly,
about the locality in which one ex
ists. That has its own special farm
ing. Work thoroughly then, or
; work not at all, as here is the only
; safety—profit in poor times, large
! profits in good. Fortunes are thus
j realized, but never by the poor farm
! er.
It is a trying time now; it will no
doubt he worse as that is the tenden
cy now. If the farm is wished to be
saved, get knowledge on the subject
of farming ; it is the only way to suc
cess. The hardest labor will not save
the land unless it is wise labor.
Learn—it takes but little—the gene
ral principles of agriculture, and then
study carefully the soil and the
neighborhood. By the light of what
is obtained (from books and papers)
this can he done up more readily and
successfully. By observing carefully,
by noting all, and drawing inferen
ces therefrom, the best course will be
perceived, and this will be entirely
different from the old usual way.
Who will break away from the old
attachment and venture on the new
course? —a course that will put a man
with the best of farmers. We must
first disencumber ourselves of the
thought that we know it all—of the
feeling rather, for it is more feeling
(predjudice) than thought. Other
men do know more than we; why
can’t we acknowledge it? Let us
break away from this thing, and
now, else it may force us away.— F.
G. in Utica Herald.
CIT FEED FOR HORSES.
An accurate former lias furnished
the Country Gentleman a statement
of his experiment with feeding cut
feed and meal to horses, accompanied
with weighing and measuring. He
cuts oats and straw about an inch
long with a raw hide cylinder ma
chine; and thischopped straw is then
treated with corn meal and bran mix
ed in about equal quantities as to
weight, so that each horse has about
a bushel of cut feed and three quarts
of the meal bran twice in each day.
Sometimes hay is cut instead of oat
straw, or both are mixed. It is found
that two hundred pounds per week
of this mixture of corn meal and
bran, added to the cut feed, will keep
a pair of working horses in the best
condition. This, he is satisfied from
experiment, is less than two-thirds
cost of keeping them on uncut dry
hay anil whole grain. The corn meal
alone is not so good for horses as when
mixed with bran. An excellent meal
is made of ground oats. The fodder
is cut by horse power, on stormy or
spare days, and stored in large bins,
so as to furnish always a surplus on
hand.
SAVE YOUR OWN CLOVER SEED.
We have just been informed says
the Franklin Patriot that one of the
largest and most enterprising farmers
of this county, last year, saved enough
clover seed for his own sowing, sold
enough to pay for all the dry goods
used in his family, and received $25
in cash in addition. This is the way
in which he did it. He put a wire
bottom in a trough in which he fed
his stock—the wire being two or three
inches above the close bottom of the
trough. The stock in pulling the clo
ver hay from the racks would scatter
the seeds almost pure through the
wire into the receptacle below.
How easy and simple a way to save
hundreds of dollars, now annually
sent out of the country. This can be
done also by making close floors in
your barn loft. This will be some
what more expensive, hut it will pay
for itself in one season.
INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
A series of experiments, instituted
to test the average loss in weight by
drying, shows that corn loses one
fifth, and wheat one-fourteenth by the
process. From this the statement is
made that farmers will make more
by selling unshelleil corn in the fall
at seventy-five cents than the follow
ing summer at one dollar a bushel;
and that wheat at $1.30 in December
is equal to $1.50 for the same wheat in
June following. This estimate is
made on the basis of interest at seven
per cent, and takes no account of loss
Irom the depredations of vermin.
These facts are worthy of considera
tion.
A SOFT HORSES.
Horses, as a general thing, get too
much licking and too little feed. If
a man loses his hat while driving his
horse, he licks the horse to pay for it.
If he runs into another wagon through
his own carelessness, he licks his horse
to make it all right. If his horse slips
or stumbles he gets lickeclforit—if he
does anything he gets licked for it, if
he don't do anything he gets the same.
A great many horses know “a sight”
more than their drivers, and if they
could change places with them society
at large would he gainers, and so
would horses.
The American Agriculturist gives
the number of kernels in a bushel of
wheat as 660,000; equally spread over
an acre of ground this would make
the kernels lie a little over three inch
es from each other, or give about ten
square inches to each kremel.
