THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. j)y S. H. SMITH & CO.] M IIS. GRUNDY. II EH NOTION OF MARRIAGE. The following reflections aro from the charming pen of the lovely Mrs. Grundy; wo commend them to the meek consideration of heu-pecked hus bands; also to the exquisite Charlos Ralph Augustus Fitznootlle and his “set,” namely, coxcombs and swells; also to till American Girls, or any oth er girls, who, like the two John Rus kin saw bttwen Venice and Verona, “ liavo succeeded in reducing them selves to pieces of white putty that can feel pain;" also we commend them to all men and women ol spirit, hop ing that they may read them night and morning as long as they may taborm.de upon the earth, in order that they may becomo as patient us j Job, and us gentle as Mary had a little j lamb; finally, wo commend them to j the Devil, whom we believe to have a \ “ Laborer’s uud Mechanic’s Lien ” up on them for “ materials furnished and labor performed:” We are in our houses more than half of our existence, and it is the household surroundings which affect most largely the happiness or misery of life. I f the wife knows how to “ keep house,” if she understands how j to set a table, if she has learned bow j things ought to be cooked, bow beds should be made, how carpets should be swept, how the furniture should be dusted, how the clothing should bo repaired, and turned and altered, and renovated; if she knows how purchas es can be made to the best advantage, and understands the laying in of pro visions, how to make them go farthest and longest; if Bhe appreciates the im portance of system, order, tidiness and quiet management of children and servants, then she knows how to mako a little heaven of home, how to win her children from the street, how to keep her husband from the club house, the gambling table and the wine-cup. How much the perfect knowledge of these things bears upon the thrift, tho comfort and the health of families may bo conjectured, but not calculat ed by figures. It would be an im measurable advantage to mako a be ginning by attaching a kitchen to ev ery girls’ school in the nation, and have lessons given daily in the prepa ration of all the ordinary articles of food and drink for tho table, and how to purchase these in the market to the best advantage, with the result of a large saving of money, au increase of comfort, and higher health iu every family in the land. Moreover, our orator further nhow eth “that tho effect of knowledge is to mako women pedantic and affected;”, to which oug Sidney Smith hath made answer: “ When learning ceases to be uncommon among women, learned women will cease to bo affected.” Let us not be too severo upon Mrs. Grun dy, but judge her according to the light she has; for she still believes, honestly, in tho monstrous absurdity '* that the euro which a mother feels for her child depend upon her igno rance of Greek; and that she would desert an infant for a quadratic equa sion.” Again, “ nothing so honorable to a woman as not to bo spoken of at all;" “ woman tho glory of man;” “ Heaven’s last, best gift to man.” Oh, Noodledom! NooJledom! Noo oo-00-00-dledom! Contemplate, for a moment, O reader, their ridiculous absurdity. You will feel like turning a summerset. Think of u man of ambition, of In tellect, cultivated or uncultivated, marryiug a woman “that has reduced herself to a pieco of white putty that cau feel pain,” or even a woman that understands how to “keep house,” that is, to make a bed, dust a carpet, bake a loaf, drive a bargain with a butcher in buying a mutton chop, keep the children’s faces cleau, have dinner on the table punctually, and numerous other like things too tedious to mention; nay, if so minded, you may tako a regular business woman, one that can stand in the kitchen door aud kick a dog five hundred yards! Then refieot upon this law, which is as Used as fate: “If the wife docs not push her husband forward, she always holds him back.’’ Who does not see that the inevitable con clusion is this: That the husband will soon cease to care for what the wife does not care for; that the higher faculties of his mind will soon, to all intents and purposes, die; that those faculties alone will develop and flour ish which pertain to the common van ities aud pecuniary objects? From what has been said it is but one step to the general conclusion, that the highest pleasures which pertaiu to marriage can be enjoyed only by per sons of equal cultivation, and identi cal opini >us and purposes. It is the custom in Paris, when a shop-keeper has either a marriage or death iu his family, to put up the shutters aud auuouuce the cause of closing iu a few lines addressed to the public, pasted on the door. In the case of a death the photograph of the deceased is generally nailed above the paper notice. Within the last few days the cartes of a bride aud bride groom have been similarly exposed. An Emperor’s Table.— The Emper or of Germany is the most abstemious of European monarchs. He takes every day but two small meals. After rising he takes a cup of coffee; at noon some roast meat and potatoes, with a glass of Bordeaux wine; aud at seven in the evening a supper, con sisting of bread, sausage, and a cup of tea. Persons iuvited to the Imperial table express their surprise at its ex treme simplicity. Art of Memory. —lhe best way to remember a thing is thoroughly to un derstand it, and often to recall it to mind. By readiug continually with great a.tention, anu never passing a passage without understanding and considering it well, the memory will be stored with knowledge; and things will occur at times when we want them though we can never recollect the pas sages or from whence wo draw our deas. Dr. Irusler. IIOR ACE G REELE Y’S IIIDE. When Mr. Greeley was in California ovations awaited him at every towD. I He had written powerful leaders in the Tribune iu favor of the Pacific Railroad, which had greatly endeared him to the citizens of the Golden State. And, therefore, they made much of him when he went to see , them. At one town the enthusiastic popn lace tore his celebrated white coat to pieces, and carried it home to remem ber him by. Tile citizens of Piacervillo prepared to fete the great journalist, and an ex [ tra coach, with extra relays of horses, was chartered of the California Stage | Company to carry him from Folsom i to Piacervillo, distance forty miles, j The extra was on some account de i layed and did not leave Folsom until \ late iu tiie afternoon. Mr. Greeley was to be feted at 7 o’clock that even- I ing by the citizens of Piacerville, and !it was altogether necessary that he j should be there by tbat hour. So 1 the stage company said to Henry- Monk, the driver of the extra : “ Henry, this great man must be there by 7 o’clock to night.” And Henry answered : “ The great man shall be there.” The roads were iu an awful state, i and during the first few miles out of : Folsom slow progress was made. “ Sir,” said Mr. Greeley, “ you are | aware that I must be at Placerville at I 7 o’clock to-inght.” “ I’ve got my orders,” laconically replied Henry Monk. Still tho coach dragged slowly for ward. “ Sir,” said Mr. Greeley, “ this is not a trifling matter. I must bo there at 7.” Again came the answer: “ I’ve got my orders.” But the speed was not increased, and Mr. Greeley chafed away anoth er half hour, when, as ho was again about to remonstrate with the driver, the horses suddenly started into a furious run, and all sorts of encourag ing yells filled the air from the throat of Henry Monk. “ That is right, my good fellow,” said Mr. Greeley. “ I will give you ten dollars when wo get to Placerville. Now we are going!” They were, indeed, and at a terrible speed. Crack! crack! went the whip, and again that voice split the air : “ Git up! hi yi! g’long ! yip—yip!” And on they tore, over ruts and stones, up and down, at a rate of speed never before achieved by stage horses. Mr. Greeley, who had been bounc ing from one end of the coach to the other like an ludia-rubber ball, man aged to get bis bead out of the win dow, and said : “ D—n’t—on’t you—u—think—we —e —o shall get there by 7 if we d—n’t go so fast ?’’ “ I’ve got my orders.” That was all Henry Monk said. And on tore the coach. It was becoming serious. Already the journalist was becoming extrtme ly sore from tho jolting, and again his head might have been seen at the window : “ Sir,” he said, “ I don’t care—are cn.ro if tyu Jgu’6 ££t;(/ (ht iu at 7.” “ I’ve get my orders.” Fresh horses—forward again, faster than before ; over rocks and stumps, on one of which the coach narrowly escaped turning a summersault. “ See here !’’ said Mr. Greeley, “ I don’t care if we can’t get there at all.” “ I’ve got my orders. I work for tho California Stage Company, I do ; that’s wot I work for. They said : ‘ Git this man through by seven,’ and this man’s gom’ through, you bet! Gerloug! whoop!” Another frightful jolt, and Mr. Greeley’s bald head suddenly fouud its way through the roof of the coach amid the crash of timbers and the ripping of strong canvass. * “ Stop, you maniac !’’ he roared. Again answered Henry Monk : “ I’ve got my orders. Keep your seat, Horace!” At Mud Springs, a village a few miles from Placerville, they met a large delegation of citizens of Placer ville, who had come out to meet the celebrated editor and escort him into town. There was a military compa ny, a brass band, and a six horse wagon load of beautiful damsels in milk white dresses, representing all the States iu the Union. It was re ally dark now, but the delegation was amply provided with torches and bonfires all along the read to Placer ville. The citizens met the coach on the outskirts of Mud Springs, and Mr. Monk reined in his foaming steeds. “Is Mr. Greeley on board ?” asked the Chairman of the committee. “He was a few miles back,’’ said Mr. Monk. “My orders are as fol lows : * Git him there by seven.’ It wants a quarter of seven. Stand out of the way.” “ But sir,” exclaimed the commit teeman, seizing the off leader by the reins, “ Mr. Monk we are to escort him into town. Look at the proces sion, sir, and the brass band, and the people, and the young women, sir.” “I’ve got my orders!” screamed Mr. Monk. “My orders don’t say nothing about no brass bands and young women. My orders says, ‘ Git him there by seven.’ Let go them lines. Clear the way there.’’ “ Woo-ep! Keep your seat, Hor ace !’’ aud the coach dashed through the procession, upsetting a portion of the brass band and violently grazing the wagon which contained the beau tiful young women in white. Years hence grayhaired men who were in this procession will tell their grandchildren how this stage tore through Mud Springs, aud how Hor ace Greeley’s bald head ever aud anon showed itself, like a wild appa rition, above the coach roof. Mr. Monk was on time. There is a tradition that Mr. Greeley was very indignant for a while ; then laughed, aud finally presented Mr. Monk with a bran new suit of clothes. Mr. Monk himseif is still in the em ploy of the California Stage Company, and is rathet fond of telling a story that has made him famous all over the Pacific coast. And he says he yields to no man in his devotion for Horace Greeley. A philosopher says that the true secret of earthly happiuess is to enjoy pleasures as they arise; for that man who can keep his eye on the bright present, while it is bright, tastes the cup of sweetness prepared for him; but we are prone to look forward to dark objects, while we should be en joying those that are more agreeable. Impossibilities. —Be not augry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself what you wish to be.—Thom s a Ketnpis. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER -26, 187*. ETOWAH. By Mary’s cot, old Scotia’s Bard Os Aft on sang with pleasing tune; And where he is has never heard “ Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon ?’ The winding Firth, the wimpling Forth, Thy pleasant waters, river Lee— Hare all been sung; but in the South There runs a stream more dear to me. When back to youth fancy’s conveyed, Perchance by some low catch or song, I can but wish once more I strayed, Where the bright Etowah rolls along. The Rhone may boast her swifter tide— The Rhine her crag of Drachenfells; The Mississippi flow more wide, The vespers chime o'er blue Moselle; Niagara may thunder forth— Her foaming flood unceasingly Draw fashion’s crowd; but in the South There runs a stream more dear to me. When back to youth fancy’s conveyed, Perchance by some low catch or song, I can but wish once more I strayed Where the bright Etowah rolls along. ■* A GENERATION BACK. We are apt to think the present times Are sadly out of joint ; To sigh, and then toward ages past The reverent finger point. Os model husbands, model wives, Say we, there was no lack— Os manners, moral pride and worth— A generation back. The girls were modest, neat and fair, The boys were brave and true— They labored on, from sun to sun, With joys and pleasures few; The children went to bed at dark, And seemed to have the knack Os being seen and never heard— A generation back. And thus it is from age to age, And thus ’twill ever be: The scenes enacted long ago With partial eyes we see; Our offspring in the years to come Will tread the beaten track, And praise the conduct of their sires A generation back. Agricultural Department. OUR LOCAL FAIRS. Every citizen takes more or less pride ia local fairs. It is well that he should do so, for it is evident that their influences is of the most benefi cial character. That they will be con tinued indefinitely, now that the sys tem has becomo so thoroughly inaug urated, there can be but little doubt. Os all the various methods of instruc tion, nono are so popular with the masses as a combination of the ocular and oral methods. There is a great deal of substantial truth iu the trite old saying, “ seeing is believing.” The masses of the people prefer these methods of instruction which appeal most directly to the eye and the ear. By seeing beautiful things we long to possess them, and if we have the geni us or the power, we desire to create them. Hence it is, at our annual fairs, that a disposition is awakened, by witnessing tire various products on exhibition, to excel in the production of something which seems to come within the sphere of our ability. Thus the fair becomes not only useful as au object teaching institution, but as a holiday, of which there are too few in our American social oagauization. Tho fn if, iu uniting instruction and relaxation, “ kills two birds with one stone,” and combines a quality of good with a unity of purpose. Every citizen in each county should tike a laudable pride in the annual local or district fair. They should be interested ia its continued prosperity, and should put forth every effort to surpass the exhibitions in the adjoin ing counlies in the excellence of every thing exhibited, and in the variety of the products. Os the various premi ums that have been or may be offered, those for field crops should head the list. The recipient of the premium, however, should give, in writing, a de tailed account of the various methods by which the result was attained. Such for instance, as the nature and forma tion of the soil, method of cultivation, preparation of seed—in fact every thing pertaining to tho production of the soil, including what might be con sidered by the superficial observer trif ling and unimportant details. If, however, twice as much money has been expended in producing this crop as the crop iu the half bushel is worth, then we see no real merit in awarding a premium. Why should not the previous condition of the land and the money expended in producing this premium crop be awarded not to the one who has the largest crop, but to him who, taking a field of average fertility, so economized labor and ex pense that the crop was a profitable one ? Then why not say in the pre mium list, for the most profitable acre of grain on land which ordinarily pro duced a certain number of bushels per acre ? It is by this means only that the negligent aud careless farmer will be able to comprehend the method by which success was attained, and be in duced to attempt a reform iu his farming operations. This principle will also hold good in awarding pre miums on farms of not less than 40 or 100 acres; for while great credit is due yrenien we think would' be mei farf Cient - B. besl sta THE FAIR. lanl pelope that many of our friends 9 ‘ ankking preparations to attend A be )proaching Fair which will T B }>ff next week. Come friends will your stock, your corn, ing eD potatoes, turnips, preserves, Can the farmers themselves could vote up-* on it, he would receive it by a large majority. The advantages that would result to the farming community by awakening competition, which would inevitably result from the offer of a premium by our county associations for the best conducted farm, would result in much good. One point would be gained. The farm receiving the premium being within the county lim its, it would be easily accessible to all the farmers during some portion of the year so that they could go and see for themselves. An agricultural bar becue or general pic-nic to be given by the recipient of the premium, would afford a fine opportunity for the farm ers to compare notes aud discuss va rious agricultural subjects. It would be still better for the farm ing community if a premium for the best farm iu each township could be offered aud awarded. The influence which this competition would create, would be of the most beneficial char acter, aud the aggregate results would be of great practical value, and large ly increase the agricultural prosperity of the country. — Rural World. “My son,’’ said an affectionate mother to her son (who expected to be married very soon), “you are get ting very thin.” “ Yes, mother,” he replied; “ when I come next time you will be able to see my r‘h! > CRUMBS SWEPT UP BY THE EDITORIAL BROOM. He alone is independent who can maintain himself by his own exertions, unaided and alone. In Egypt a woman is considered old at twenty-five, and very old at thirty. A little girl who was asked to define reading, said, “It is hearing with the eyes instead of with the ears.” Great powers and natural gifts do not bring privileges to their possessors 30 much as they bring duties. Beauty cannot inflame the fancy so much in a month, as ridiculous folly can quench iu a moment. The greatest peer that England ev er produced—Sbakspeare. As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in a few words, so it is of snmil wits to talk much and say nothing. A census has just been taken of the members of Bcgham Young’s family, which returns him 68 children, of whom 40 are females. His wives number 32. It is not enough that we swallow truth; we must hod upon it, p.s in sects do on the leaf, tiii the whole heart be colored by its qualities, and shows its food iu every fibre.—Cole ridge.. A recent writer maintains anew theory, viz: that all angels are not young uud lovely, but that many on the contrary, are old, scraggy and shabby looking. Au unjust accusation is like a barb ed arrow, which must be drawn back wards with horrible anguish, or else it will be our destruction. Disputes. —lt is an excellent rule to be observed in all disputes, that men should give soft words and hard argu ments; that they should not so much strive to vex as to convince au oppo nent. Os all kinds of property, money leut on good security is the most interest ing. Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity—Ad dison. The man who would be considered wise should never give au opinion un til he has carefully estimated what his opinion is worth. Friendship is more firmly secured by lenity tow r ards failings than by at tachment to excellences. One is val ued as kindness that cannot be ex plained, the other exacted as payment of a debt to merit.

Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjec tures: And of so easy and so plain a stop, That the bluut monster with uncount ed heads, The still-discordant wavering multi tude Can play upon it. Shakspeare. A sentimental young gentleman re cently made an observation of a ten der nature to a lady during the pro gress of a quadrille; but ns he was af flicted with a severe cold, she could not gather where he had been “ nip ped iu the bud,” or “ dipped in the mud.” Ibis state of uncertainty is mos. cruel. A veteran observer says: “I never place much reliauce on a man who is always telling what he would have done had he been there. I have no ticed that somehow this kind of people never get there.” A Kentucky paper says that closely shaved heads are all the rage iu a town of that State. That speaks badly for the citizens. Variation on Rochefoucauld.— There is something singularly delight ful to us iu the growing infirmities of oar oldest friends, notwithstanding that their age may be the same as our ow'u. — Punch. It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend of his faults. If you are angry with a man or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words—that is friendship. But few have such fronds. Enemies usually teach us what they are at the point of the sword. “Faith ful are wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” A Queen’s Necklace. —Queen Char lotte’s necklace, of well-matched ame thists, the most perfect in existence, was valued, when worn by her, at £2,000; at present it would not com mand as many shillings, so great has been the importation of late years of German amethysts and topazes, which are dug in endless abundance in the Sicbengeberge on the Rhine. Standards of Beauty.— The stand ards of beauty in woman vary with those of taste. Socrates called beauty i' jpbort-lived tyranny; Plato, a privi - of nature; Theophrastus, a silent a f jat; Theocritus, a delightful preju jgCe; Carneades, a solitary kingdom; id Aristotle affirmed that it was bet .Ni- than all the letters of recommen he tion in the world. [ he j n Secrets of Comfort.—T hough terf inetimes small evils, like invisible in- inflict pain, and a single hair may stop a vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in not suf fering trifles to vex one, and in pru dently cultivating an undergrowth of small pleasures; since very few great ones, alas! are let on long leases. Miss Burdett Coutts is well-known as a woman of large wealth, who loves to use her riches for noble objects. Her father founded the bank, which has proved so lucrative, aud owed his first success to a wise liberality. A distinguished peer had been re fused a loan of ten thousand pounds sterling by a Loudon bank. Mr. Coutts heard of it, sent a request to the lout to call at his office, and offer ed to make the loan. The peer, surprised, said, “ I can give you no security.” “Your lordship’s note of hand will be quite sufficient,” was the prompt reply- The peer accepted tho loan, and left five thousand of it on deposit in the bank. The story soou found a wide circulation. Other peers trans ferred their funds. The Kings curios ity was aroused, and after a personal interview, he was so pleased with the modesty aud intelligence of the ban ker that he made him the custodian of the royal funds. The Court fol lowed the example of the King, and the bank became the favorite of the English aristocracy. Bybon’s Daughter.—On one occa sion Lady Lovelace paid a visit to Newatead Abbey. In the great libra ry, Col. Wildman, who had invited her there, read one of the finest passages of Byron, to Byron’s daaghter, who touched with the beauty of the verse, asked who was the author. Col. Wildman started at her, and said, “ There is the portrait of the author,’’ pointing to the portrait of Byron by Phillips. He read yet more of Byron’s poetry to her. Lady Lovelace was mute with astonishment as new reve lations burst upon her. “Do you think this is affectation,” she said, at last, when I have been brought up in complete ignorance of all that regards my father?” From that moment a passionate enthusiasm for everything which recalled the memory of Byron took possession of her. While at Nevste td Abbey, she used to shut her self for long hours iu the apartments j he had live and in, and which still retain ed much of the furniture which had belonged to him. —Lady Glemnlina Bar s Recoiled on* of A* <ey. Sleeping Flowers. —Almost all flow ers sleep during UeTugKl. The mari gold goes to bed with til- *au, and with him rises weeping. Many plants are 8© sensitive that they close their leaves during the passage of a cloud. The dandelion opens at five or six in the morning, and shuts at nine in the evening. Tne goat’s beard wakes at three in Ae morning, and shuts at live or six in the evening. The English daisy shuts up its blossom in the even ing, and opens its “ day’s eyes” to meet tho early beams of the morning sun. The crocus, tulip, and many oth ers, close their blossoms at different hours towards the evening. The ivy leaved lettuce opens at eight in the morning, and clover at four iu the af ternoon. The night-flowering cereus turns night into day. It begins to ex pand its magnificent, sweet-scented blossoms in the twihght; it is full blown at midnight, and closes never to open again with the dawn of day. Those plants which seem to be awake all night have been called “ the bats and owls of the vegetable kingdom.” Lack or Ettiquette. —The following illustration is give of ettiquette in the time of Louis XV.: In the Queen’s apartment there were two chambers. One day the Queen saw a speck of dust on her bed and showed it to Madame de Luynes, her maid of honor. The latter sent for the valet de chambro, bed-m-ker to the Queen, that he might show it to the valet de chambre, bed-maker of the King. The latter arrived at the end cf an hour, but said that the dust was none of his business, because the bed-makers of the King made up the common bed of the Queen, but were forbidden to touch the State bed. Consequently, the dust must be re moved by the officers of tho household. The Queen gave orders that they should be sent for, and every day for two months she asked if the dust had been brushed off, but they had not yet fouud out whose duty it was to re move the speck. Great was the scan dal thereof, but no one dreamed of blaming the absence of the officers; they only found tbat the Queen had been wanting in ettiquette. Avery old man once came into the witness-box in the Ohio court. He was asked a common question: “ What is your age ?” “ Twenty-two.” “ You probably mistake the ques tion. The years of your life—l wish to know the number of them.” “ Twenty-two.” “ Have you spent all your life in Ohio?” “ Oh, no. I did live forty years on the Eastern Sho’ of of Maryland, but I hope the Lord ain’t counted them agin me ?” The new order of service in Dun dee. —“ Mr. Jones,” said a clergyman, on a pastoral visit, “ I dou’t see you and Mrs. Jones at church ou Sunday evenings.” “Well, no,” replied Mr. Jones; “my wife has to stay at home to take care "of the children; and as it comes rather hard on her, I stay to keep her company.” “ Why, how is that; don’t you keep any servants?” “ Oh, yes, we keep two; but they don’t allow us any privileges.” rsjprra This unrivalled Medljin.* s warranted not to contain a single particle of Mekcubt, or any injurious mineral substance, but is PURELY VEGETABLE.
