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.

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.— Courier-Journal. Agricultural Department. 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.
