THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. T*y S. TT. SMITH & CO.] moral power of muscle. nv JUDGE K. CLARK. It in about a dozen years since bus iness- not pleasure—took inc to New Jericho, the terminus of civilization and the Whururnelover Railroad. And “a hard road to travel ’’ that was. It had steeper grades, sharper curves, and more of them than, it is to be hoped, ever put in,peril the public life or limb before or since. It was Saturday afternoon, and we were to roach Jericho at some indefi nite hour that evening, “ time not be ing of the essence of the contract.’’ At a place called Blueruiu we stopped fifteen minutes to “ liquor.’ There had been a cock-fight, and several other fights, and a big crowd there that day, and .everybody was in high glee. The New Jericho delegation re turned by our train, and rougher looking samples of rustic rowdydum it would have been difficult to find, even in that favored region. Among them was a strapping six-footer, a very Hercules in proportions, with a cock-o’-the-walk sort of swagger about him, who took possession of two seats, depositing his body on one and dead heading his legs on the other. One cheek was puffed out by an underly ing quid, while ever and anon, with a back action jerk, he would send near a gdl of tobacco-juice over his shoul der, which those within range hud the privilege of dodgmg or taking the consequences of, as they liked. As for his conversation, the curse oi Erers mess room in Uncle Toby’s time, in point of maledictory power, was weak in comparison. At the next station a young ludy caine on board, beautiful us Venus and modest us Diana. How so rare a flower ciufie to bloom in such a wild, was a question to puzzle over. But there was no time to settle it. The lady was standing and all the seat* were occupied. I was ou the point of offering mine when a youthful look ing gentleman, of prepossessing man ners and appearance stepped forward and addressed the couchant Her cules : “Allow mo,’’ lie said politely, “to turn over the back of this seat.” “ Hey ?” tiie other grunted. The request was repeated. “ See you dod darned first!” was the gruff response. “ But, sir, ,” the gentleman be gun to expostulate. “ Lookeo here you!’’ blustered the bully —“ don’t you offer for to go for to rile me ! that’s my advice, an’ 1 gives it free gratis, ’cause I feel an in trust in you.’’ “ But this lady is entitled to a seat,’’ the stranger persisted. “ Givo her your own then, dod drot you ! an’ stop your chin music, or by Hoky you’ll rile mo !’’ Asa last resort, the gentleman ap pealed to the conductor, who chanced to bo passing. But the latter de clined to interfere. Such things must bo left to courtesy. Besides, it was not his place to take part in the dis putes of passengers. So saying, he went his way, punching tickets, and taking no further heed. “ Dod blast you, you hev riled me !’’ shouted the bully, springing to his feet and striding up to the young man, who didn’t seem quite sensible of his danger ; “ you’ve gone and stuck your nose into other people’s business, an’ I’m going to pull it!’’ An attempt was made to suit the action to the word, but before the metaphorically offending member hud been so much as touched, something —it moved so swiftly I couldn’t be positive it was the gentleman’s sist — took Hercules directly" between the eyes and sent him sprawling to tin other end of the car. He didn’t get up immediately, and wheu he did, he seemed a little bewildered as to wheth er he hrd been knocked down or the train had run off the track. He had had enough, at all events, wherever it came from, was manifest from tin subdued air with which he took his departure from the smoking ear, whither his companion soon followed, no doubt secretly chuckling at the re sult, as usually do the chums of a whipped bully. Rap Kilderkin, the proprietor of the New Jericho Rest, was the most communicative of hosts. Before bed time that night, I was thoroughly and accurately '* up ” iu all the gossip of the place, aud had its statistics at my lingers’ ends. Among other things, I learned that “ stated preaching ” had hitherto been among the wants of the community, but that a “ supply ” had been at length obtained, and the new minis ter was expected to euter on his du ties ou the morrow. “ Aud a refreshiu’ season he’ll hev of it.’’ said Pap. “ Why so ? ” I asked. “ Oh! Bill Grinkey an’ t’other chaps goiri’ to break him in termorrer ; an’ if you want to see fun, I’d advise you to go down tkar.’’ And I did go —not “ to see fun,’’ as Pap Kilderkin suggested, but I trust from better motives. Pap went too — by what prompted, I prefer not judging. When we reached the church, the minister had not yet made his appear ance, though a goodly number of hearers had already assembled. A few minutr.s later, yesterday’s delcga tiou of th .■ Blueruin cock-light, head ed by the vanquished bully—with both eyes in full mourning, sauntered in, anti walked noiselessly down the aisle. “That’s Bill Grinkey,” whispered Pap, “ an’ them’s t’other chaps.’’ “ Wake way for the mourners! ’’ sang out Bill, crowding with his com panions into a front seat, where a boisterous conversation was struck up. “ I can tell you that pruyranny,” Pap continued ; “ a pack o’ shootiug crackers’ll tetched oil’ dinin’ the fast hyme, and a pair o’ game chickens as a" eouplo o’ them chaps got in their pockets, ’ll be sot lightin’ as soon as the tex’s gin out, arter which gen’rul Ned ’ll be in order.’’ A sudden silence fell upon the con gregation. Not a murmur was heard, and the peaupts ceased to crack. Looking up, I saw the new minister in the pulpit; aud guess my surprise at recognizing him us the young man that had struck out so deftly from his shoulder the day before ! With a clear, manly voice, he gave out a hymn, which was sung through without interruption. A prayer was offered up amid profound and deco rous silence. Another hymn followed and then a sermon, earnest, plain, practical, without a word of cant in it. From the beginning to the end of the exerciser, not one unseemly sound was heard, save a siugle incipient crow, promptly choked off, from one of the invisible chickens. “ I say, Bill,’’ I overheard from one of “ the chaps ” as they made their vyay out, “ that parson’s a trump ; he preaches a downright good lick and tights fair, without bitin’ or gougin’.” It was easy to be seen that the new minister’s dolus was settled. I have since heard that Bill Grinkey has be come an exemplary member of the church ; and the parson the happy husband of the young lady, as who?e champion he first achieved popularity. CURIOSITIES OF LIFE. Lay your finger ou your pulse, aud know that at every stroke some im mortal passes to its maker; 3ome fel low being crosses the river of death; and if we think of it we may well won der that it should be so long beiore our time comes. Half of all who live die before they are seventeen. Only one person in ten thousand lives to be one hundred years old, and but one in a hundred reaches sixty. The married men live longer than the single. There is one soldier to every eight persons, and out of every thousand born only ninety-five weddings take place. If you take a thousand persons that are seventy years of age, there are of orators, clergymen and public speak ers, 43; farmers4o; workmen 33; sol diers 32; lawyers 20; professors 27, and doctors 24. These statements are very instruc tive. Farmers and woikmen do not arrive at good old age as often as the clergymen and others who perform no manual labor; but this is owing to the neglect of the law of health, inatten tion to proper habits in life, in eating, drinking, sleeping, dress, and the proper care of themselves after the days work is done. These farmers eat a heavy supper of a summer day and sit around the doors in their shirt sleeves, and in their tired condition am weakened circulation, are easily chilled, laying the foundation for di arrhoea, lung fever or consumption. BEAUTY OF OLD PEOPLE. Men aud women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Lord Lyttou speaks in one of his novels of a man “ who was uglier than Im had any business to be ; ” and if he could but read i., every human being car ries his life iu his face, and is good looking or the reverse as that life has been good or evil. On our features tho flue chisel of thought and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and of white and pink maidens. There is a slow-growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no period of life, and good ness improves the longer it exists. I have seen sweeter smiles from a lip of seventy than from a lip of seven teen. There is tho beauty of young and the beauty of holiness —a beauty much more seldom met, aud more frequently found in the arm-chair by the fire, with tho grand-children around its knee, than in the ball room or promenade. Husband aud wife, who have fought the world side by side, who have made common stock of joy or sorrow, and aged to gether, are frequently found curious ly alike in personal appearance, and in pitch and tone of voice—just as twin pebbles on the beach, exposed to the same tidal influences, are each other’s second self. He has gained a feminine something, which brings his manhood into full relief. She has gained a masculine something, which acts as a foil to her womanhood. WOULDN’T BE ABOUT IT. A couple of flat-boat men on the Mississippi liver, having made an ex traordinary good speculation, conclu ded that while they were in New Or leans they would go for a real first class hotel dinner at the St. Charles Hotel. Having e iton the meal, they called for their bill. The waiter in at tendance misunderstood them, and supposing that they wanted the bill of fare, laid it before them with the wine list uppermost. “ Whew, Bill!’’ said Jerry, “ here’s a bill! Just look at it! Here, you add up one side and I’ll add up the other, and we’ll see what the old thing comes to.” So Bill added up the prices of wines on one side of the list and Jerry added them up on the oth er, and they made the sum total $584. “Whew, Bill,” said Jerry, “that’s pretty nigh all we’ve got! What are we going to do about it ?” “ We can’t pay that,’’ said Bill, “it ’ud clean us right out. The waiter ain’t hero now, let’s jump o’ the win dow and put 1” “No, sir-ee,” said Jerry, “I’d never do sich a meau thing as that. Let’s pay the bill and then go down stairs and shoot the landlord.’’ Last week a lady in Lexington, Ivy., received the following choice billet doux: “I saw ,>ou at shurtch last Sunday nite, and I want tu form with you an Acquauetans. lam a man of good karicter, and get a celery of SSOO per antna. Pleas address poost oils.’’ The young lady returned this reply : “To the Young Man with the Bad Spell : —The wish to form an acquaintance is not reciprocal. But if you call at my house about six o’clock iu the evening, my brother will make your acquaintance with some first class calf-skin. Perhaps you would prefer making the ac quaintance of our dog. He will take to you naturally. He always had a taste for calves.” Some years since, while a judge, who occupies a very high judicial position in the State, was holding court in one of the western counties, a case of trivial character was called on. His Honor, somewhat “ riled,’’ remarked that such suits, instead of faking up the time of the court, would be more properly dispose of by submitting the same to a jury of old women. The plaintiff s attorney quiet replied that, without taking exception to the opiniou of the honorable court, he thought the case could not have been brought before a more appropri ate tribunal. Cape Horn is to be doubted no more. The difficulties of sailing around the cape and the dangers of passing through the straits of Magel lan are now done away with by the establishment of a service of steam tugs in the straits for towing sailing vessels through the narrow channel, thereby insuring sufety and shorten ing the passage to the Pacific by at least a month’s time. They have smart children at Mar tha’s Vineyard. A little six-years-old girl, daughter of a Methodist minister, committed a fault, and denied it. Her mother, learning she was guilty, asked her why she told the untruth, when she replied with great s ang froid : “ I should not if I believed as you aud fa -1 ther do; but I am a Universalist.” CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER If), 1872. THE BELLS. Hear the sledge* with the bells— Silver bells— Whst s world of merriment their melody foretells ! How they tickle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy tor of night; White the stars that overnprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Bunic rhyme. To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, ta-lte, bells— From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells ! Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten-golden notes, And all in tune. What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle dove that listens, while she gloats Un the moon ! Oh, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! Mow it sweiiis! How it dwella- On the Future ’ how it tells Os the rapture that impels 'i'othe -swinging and the ringing Os the bells, bells, bells— Os the bells, bells, bells, bells, Beds, bells, bells— To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! Hear the loud alarum bells— Brazen bells! W hat a tale of terror, now, their turbuleney tells ! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright I Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek,- shriek,- Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire ! In a marl expostulation with the deaf and frantic lire, Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor, Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Ob, the bells, bells, bells ! What a tale their terror tells Os despair I How they clang, and clash, and roar' What a horror they outpour On the bosom of the palpitating air t Yet the ear, it fully knows, By the twanging Aud the clanging. How the danger ebbs and flows; Yet the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling And thei wrangling, How the danger sinks and swells, By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the belhs— Os the bells— Os the bells, bells, bells, bells. Bells, bells, bells— In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! Hear the tolling of the bells— Iron tells! W hat a world of sol -nm thought their monody com pels ! In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright At the melancholy menace of their tone I For every sound that floats From the rust within their throats Is a groan.- And the people—ah, the people— They that dwell up in the steeple, All alone,- And who tolling,- tolling,- tolling,- In that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart, a stone— They are neither man nor woman— They are neither brute nor human— They are Ghouls. And their king it is who tolls; ; And he rolls,- rolls,- rolls,- rolls,- A paian from the bells ! And his merry bosom swells With the ptean of the bells ! And he dances and he yells; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the pecan of the bells— Os the bells; Keeping time, time, time, In a Bort of Runic rhyme, To.the throbbing of the bells— Os the bells, bells, bells, To the sobbing of the bells; Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells— Os the bells, bells, bells— To tho tolling of the bells, Os the bells, bells, bells, bells— Bells, bells, bells, To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. “SHE’S POOR.” “ This then is the solution of the problem.’’ “ This is why lam unno ticed in society.” “ For this grievous fault do I merit the scorn and con tempt of those around me.” “ She’s poor,’’ oh they were cruel words, and fell upon the ear of the listener with a sound, as it were, of the death knell of all bright hopes. Yes she was poor, what the world calls poor, and the words crushed the proud heart and forced scalding tears from her eyes. ’Twas then that she awoke to the realization of the woful fact, that not withstanding her brilliant talents, her accomplishments aud mental acquire ments, she could never reach that ex alted position which elevate the wealthy into tho first circles. “She’s poor’’— whatever else she may be—whatever her noble traits. Though nothing is liking of the lovely and amiable qualities which character ize the true lady, all sinks into dimin utiveness when the direful, lamentable fact that she is poor is affirmed. And if she be poor does filthy lucre mend up every breach? Yes, when only they of shallow mind whose sor did desire monopolize every thought, and whose love of worldly treasure outreachea all admiration of all that is noble and good. Pitiable indeed is the mind that is diluted and oercharged with this mis erly desire for that which perisheth and whose dim and dazzled vision pen etrates not beyond the glittering dis- 1 play of wealth into the heart where lies true merit, the richest treasure ere bestowed on man. And, as soars the eagle above the wren, so is the expansive and aspiring mind, (trained to greatness by far more ennobling qualities aud thoughts), so is it placed in a higher sphere than that which prompts such diminutive desire. Then having not a blemish ou her fair name. Possessing all that is at tractive and lovely. When highborn sense of gentility renders her rich in the eyes of the wise, and in whose heart lies buried the priceless jewel of j true merit. I ask then —ls she poor ? NO HOME. No home ! What a misfortune ! How sad the thought! There are tiiousands who know nothing of the blessed influence of a comfortable home; merely because of a want of thrift, or dissipated habits. Youth spent iu frivolous amusemeuts, and demoralizing associations, leaving them at middle age, when the phys ical aud intellectual man should be in its greatest vigor, enervated aud with out one laudable ambition. Friends loug since lost, confidence gone, and nothing to look to in old age, but a mere toleration in the community where they should be ornaments. No home to fly to when wearied with the struggles incident to life; no wife to cheer them in their despondenoy; no virtuous household to give zest to the joys of life. All is blank, and there is no hope or succor except that which is given out by the hands of private or public characters. When the family of the industrious and sober citizen gathers around the cheerful fire of a wintry day, the homeless man is seek ing a shelter iu the cells of a station house, or begging for a night’s rest in the out-buildings of one who started in life at the same time, with no great er advantages; honesty and industry built up that houm, while dissipation destroyed the other. A country girl coming from a morn ing walk, was told that she looked as fresh as a daisy kissed by the dew, to which she innocently replied; “You’ve got my name right—Daisy; but his 1 is not Dew.” Agricultural Department. NOTES ON WHEAT CULTURE. It is hardly possible to give, in a single article, a plan for the raising of wheat, suited to every locality and va riety of soil Much must be left to the careful and eousidera e judgment of the farmer. Yarieties of sod are so numerous, climate, and climatic influ ences so variable, that nothing short of a wise experience and scientific knowledge combined, can give the best results—both now and for all time to come—from this precious grain. And every farmer should bear fully iu mind this fact—in the application of any rules for cultivation of any crop —that his own judgment must be ex ercised iu their appliance, if he would not miss the mark. It is a singular fact that none except civilized nations profitably raise wheat, the perfection of this crop being commensurate only, with the civilization which fosters it. Every provident farmer is continu ally asking himself, and using all available sources of information, in regard to the best varieties of seed, time of planting, and plan of cultiva tion. Nothing short of this can bring agricultural pursuits up to that stan dard which will afford the best results. Is mental labor more difficult to per form, or expensive than manual labor ? Much has been said, and written about manures and their application, and common sense teaches that con stantly exacting without returning an equivalent, must eventually impover ish the land; yet how little effort, if properly directed, is required to keep up the original fertility of the soil, and iu all the prairie States especially. SOIL AND SEED. After all that has been said in re gard to certain properties of the soil, required to grow certain crops; as si lica, the phosphates, etc., to form the perfect grain of wheac; who ever saw a field of straw, waving iu glaring brightness tinged with yellow, as of pure gold, without seeing a fine crop of wheat ? Farmers! get your straw right, and your generous soil will fur nish the material for the grain. TIME OF SOWING. This depends on the season, insect enemies and other things, to be deci ded by each farmer for his own imme diate vicinity. Other thiug3 being fa vorable, it is important that wheat should be sown early enough to be come well rooted, aud also to form whatever protection the blades may give; and here lies the great difficulty in connection with successful, wheat raising in the great central region be tween perpetual winter and summer. Having every other advantage in fa vor of sure crops, without the necessa ry protection from the rigors of win ter, with its alternate freezing and thawing, a poor crop is the result Everything which will tend to guard it from this danger should be applied. Light soils should be compressed by the roller, that the roots may easily penetrate the ground. It certainly pays to thoroughly prepare the seed bed, before the seed is inserted, and if put in with a drill, much will be gain ed by having it of uniform depth, which should not be more than one half inch below a well-compressed sur face. A half bushel of oats sown broad-cast and dragged in previous to planting the wheat, might prove ben eficial as a covering for the young plant, thus preventing the rays of the sun from suddenly thawing the sur face of the ground while it is yet fro zen beneath. The process of freezing brings all the surplus moisture to the surface. Wheu the ground is bare aud thaws so rapidly, the water has neither time to evaporate nor to find its way back. Neither can it be held by the soil, and both run down togeth er leaving the crown and roots of the wheat plant bare, to be killed by the first dry weather. It is of the great est importance that all wet lands should be drained thoroughly. EXHAUSTED SOILS. Has the soil become exhausted from a succession of the same crop ? Then proper means should be applied to re store it—by rotation, clovering, and the application of manures. If coarse, putrescent manure is applied, it is Hardly safe to risk wheat the first year, from the liability of an abnor mal or over-growth of straw, too much subject to climatic influences. This is especially the case on most prairie soils, where the native fertility is abun dant, yet not in a state to be appro priated to the growth of plants. Clay or heavy soils are considered the best for wheat; yet, with proper cultivation it does well in all parts of the United States, except from local causes. A CHEERFUL HOME. A single bitter word may disquiet an entire family for a whole day. One surly glance casts a gloom over the household; while a smile, like a gleam of sunshine, may light up the darkest and weariest hours. Like unexpected flowers which spring tip along our path, full of freshness, fragrance, and beauty, so do kind words, and gentle acts, and sweet dispositions, make glad the home where peace and bless ings dwell. No matter how humble the abode, if it be thus garnished with grace and sweetened with gladness and smiles, the heart will turn longingly toward it from all the tumult# of the world, and home, if it be ever so home ly, will be tho dearest spot beneath the-circuit of the sun. And the influences of home perpet uate themselves. The gentle grace of the mother lives iu her daughters long after her head is pillowed iu the dust of death; and fatherly kindness finds its echo iu the nobility and courtesy of sons who come to wear his mantle and to fill his place, while, on the oth er hand, from an unhappy, misgovern ed, and disordered home go forth per sons who shall make other houses miserable, and perpetuate the sour ness aud sadness, the contentions and strife, and railings which have made their own early lives so wretched and distorted. Toward the cheerful home the chil dren gather “as clouds and as doves to their windows,” while from the home which is the abode of discon- j tent, and strife, and trouble, they go forth as vultures to rend their prey. The class of men that disturb, and disorder, and distress the world are not those born and nurtured amid the hallowed influences of Christian homes; but rather those whose early life has been a scene of trouble and vexation—who have started wrong iu their pilgrimage, and whose course is one of disaster to themselves and trouble to those around them. A man who passes through life without marrying is like a fair man sion left by the builder unfinished. The half that is completed runs to de cay from neglect, or becomes at best but a sorry tenement, wanting the addition of that which makes the ' whole useful. WIT AND HUMOR. Fee simple—Money given to a j quack doctor. Does a cow become landed property ! when she is turned into a field ? A big case of set-off—Christopher Columbus setting off from Palos in 1492. Which is the best way to retain a young lady’s affections? Not to return them. Does a widower recover from the grief for the loss of the dear departed when he re wives? The circulating library at Long Branch fails to circulate; its contents do not make good bustles. To milliners: What is most likely |to become a fair haired woman? Why, a fair haired little girl, to be sure! The editress of a Western journal recently announced that the arrival of an “extra male” prevented the prompt issue of her paper. “Deter me! how heartily tired I am of this mourning!” said a fashionable | lady to her maid. “Jane, who is it I ;am in mourning for ?” ij A wag, in what he knows about farming, gives a plan to remove wid ow’s weeds; he says a b ood-lookiug man has only to say “ Wilt thou,” and they wilt. There is nothing like a good defini tion, as a teacher thought when he ex plained the meaning of “ old maid ’’ as a woman that had been made a very long time. A Kentucky legislator sent up the following memorandum to the clerk: “ Letve is to be given to bring in A Bill to altar the lime -for the Legisla ture to meat. Referred to the com mity on Religen.’’ “Ma, has your tongue got legs?” “ Got what, child ?” ‘ Got legs, ma ?” “Certainly not, but why do you ask that silly question ?” “ Oh, nothing, only I heard pa say it runs from morning till night; and I was wondering how it coaid run with out legs; that’s all ma.” “ Phairest of the phair,” sighed the lover, “ phancy my pheeliugs when I phoresee the pherful consequences of our phleeing phrorn your phather’s phamily. Phew phellows could have phaced the music with so much phor titude as I have; and as phicklo phor tune phales to smile upon our love, I phind myself phorced to phorego the pleasure of becoming your husband. Phare Phrances, pharewell phorever.” “Hold, Phranklin, hold!” screamed Phrances, “ I will phollow you phorev er.” But Phranklin phled and loving Phrances phainted. Somebody wrote to the editor of a vilage paper to ask how he would “break an ox?” The editor replied as follows: “If only one ox, a good way would be to hoist him, by of a long chain attached to his tail to the top of a pole forty feet from the ground. ’I hen hoist him by a rope tied to his horns to another pole. Thyn descend on to bis back a live-ton pile-driver, and, if that don’t break him, let him start a country newspaper and trust people for subscription. One of the two ways will do it sure.” A lawyer built him an office in the form of a hexagon or six square. The novelty of the structure attracted the atttention of some Irishmen who were passing by. They made a full stop aud viewed the building very critical ly. The lawyer, somewhat disgusted at the curiosity, raised the window, and put his head out, and addrSssed them— “ What do you stand there for, like a pack of blockheads, gazing at my office? Do you take it for a church ?” “Faix,” answered one of them, “I was tniukiug so, till I saw the divii poke his head out of the windy.” Take away from mankind their van ity and their ambition, and there would be but few claiming to be heroes or patriots.
