Why, you stem to tLiuk tb&t I Lave disobeyed a stem mandate of duty, and I can almost detect it tone of reproach m j tho manner in which you say, “ uot married yet.’’ Not married yet, in- j tked ! Most joyfully and truthfully j can I s.ty, No ! And I rniUv cannot j readily perceive the Lii.dlng oblige- j tion which so forcibly requires that I j should Olive married. Why, do you suppose tb it to get married is the only aim in life, the , greurgdifi tbWi’M which we should I press with all the energy of our souls? j The great ucnio of happiness, from j whence, Laving attained its height, j we bhull look back with pride and ex- : exclaim, “ A glorious struggle and a j most glorious triumph ?” Now do you ser any positive reuson | why I should set about that most j nonsensical and billiest of all pro- j ceedings : a courtship? (uot but that j soil© sensible people have courted, j and even went so far as to rush blind- | ly into matrimouy.) (You kuow the ; proverb, “ A little nonseuse, etc,.”) j Or is there any stated requirement J that I should fall in lore with a cap tivating little combination of ribbons ! and curls, who has not an idea be-1 yond the latest styles iu hats, and whose thoughts of domestic ac complishments dwell, if at all, in the far prospective, and in whose breast my lovo-muking and sentimentality would awaken no more of tender emotion than the cackling of a goose would in yours, ami then tho morti fying sensation of wasting sweetness on tho desert air 1 No, thanks kind fate, not married yet ; and when, amid tho congregated assembly of elderly matrons, who have met at a neighbors to give each man hid due, tho indignant assertion that, “ He’s a brute ; makes a perfect slave of her,” awakens vengeful feed-1 ings iu their sympathetic bosoms, i shall rejoice that being not married | yet will pass me through unscathed. And when, iu after life, I look around me and see “ye twain who base been made one llesh’ contend ing for tho mastery and the gentle caress of the open palm, and the en twining of tiugers in the lioary locks are given us t jkeus of remembrance, shall silently yet exultingly rejoice iu u peaceful realization that 1 am “ uot married yet ! ’ J. TO THE PEOPLE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY ONCE MORE. ** ' Fellow Citizens: —lt has never been j n»y disposition to parado my name iu the papers to catch the guzo of the public eye. Yet I think under all tho circumstances I am justifiable m ma king u few ututemeutu W ; way of ex pleiijiug oouie things, t bout which, iu tho minds of some, there seems to be some misapprehension. Many of you will recollect that my name was spo ken of iu connection with the County Sclrowl Commissioner at and before the organization of the Board of Edu cation in this county; and you will recollect, also, that I withdrew my name just before the election for that officer camo off, The reason I w ith drew wus this: On my arrival at town on the day the board was to or ganize, I found some of my friends j very much concerned about myself i and tho Rev. Mr. Puckett being iu op- , position to each other for that office, i Whereupon some of our mutual j friends solicited me to withdraw and let Mr. Puckett have the field. Oa going into the Court House I met with Mr. Puckett, and there was something said about our being in op pos.tion to each other, and he remark ed “its all right Bro. Me.,’’ and went up to where the Board had assembled. Just before tho election for this officer came off. the Board, on motion, adopt ed a resolution requiring tho School . Commissioner to keep his office in j Canton subject to inspection at all times. I was satisfied thut this resolution ; would bo reoiuded on mature deliber ation, but as I hud agreed to with- ! draw, I availed myself of thia opportu- j uity to withdraw as gracefully as I * could. I stated before the Board that my name had been U3ed in connection j with that oflice, but in view of the ! resolution they had adopted it proba- ' bly would not suit me to have the of fice; and thanking my friends for the houorable mention of my name in ! connection with a position involving so much responsibility, I withdrew. I did not give to the public the real cause that coutroled me on that occa sion. I meutiou this because the im pression has been Bought to be made i that I am mistaken ia saying that I | gave way for Mr. Puckett at the solic-; itation of our mutual friends. This is ! a simple statement of the case, and i while I do not hold Mr. Puckett uuder 1 any obligations to withdraw for me iu the present contest; I will say that many of our mutual friends deprecate j the f .et .hat vre are in opposition to each other again for the office of Or dinary. Iu addition to this, I know that the people generally deprecate the fact that Mr. Donald, Mr Gal’, Mr. Puckett and myself are all iu the field for Ordinary. And forbne lam willing, if all the rest are, that our friends shall say who shall be the can didate. Aud I would suggtßt that court week at Cauton would boa good time aud pi tee to make the arrange ments. Bro. candidates what buy you? &§■« >t tIK I A few words of explan diou iu re gard to an article of mine which ap peared in the Standard & Express of the 11th of July last, and a brief re view or Mr. Moss’s reply thereto. My object iu writiug that communi cation was not to injure Mr. Moss, but to save the credit of the Democratic party of Cherokee county. The con vention that was to convene was to be a convention of the Democratic party; aud us such, its nominees would re flect the moral and political status of the party. I'thought we had Demo crats enough to fill the various offices without taking any one that had bow ed the kuee to Bullock. But from the way the ball opened at Canton and at Bell’s District, I was satisfied that if Mr. Moss carried out his plans he would succeed in getting the nomina tion for Ordinary. This I was oppos ed to on political, aud not on personal grounds, impression has", been sought to be made by Mr. Moss and his friends. I thought it would be setting a bad precedent, if we under took to keep up party liues, to ignore the claims of every member of tLe I Democratic Family, and endorse one I who forsook us in the hour of trial ! and played into the hands of our greatest e isuiy, andjthat, too, juM. af ter the Deoiociats had honored him with tire office of Ordin fry. It would have sad wi effort—Vofe so» wSum you phase, Grant and Wilson, or for Bob Toombs ticket—the Devil for President and old John Brown’s Ghost for Vice Piesideut—you shall not lose caste in the Democratic ranks of Cher okee county. Tnus any one can see that if this practice weie inaugurated and established by precedents, < ui p o litical organization would tumble into ruins, ami J would be wri:u»n upu*» the sjxit Jt&y th" proud Temple of Democracy. Taking this view of tho subject I stated iu substance, and a little nervously, per haps, that if we bad no Democrat woitby to be trusted with, or qualified to till the office, we would do well to “accept the shuation,” and try to weaken the moral force of the prece dent by keeping quiet iu the future. Fellow Citizens: If my desifre to have right prevail in the Convention; if ruy devotion to Democratic princi ples and zeal to preserve the purity ayd consistency of the Democratic party led me into error, I Leg pardon for having broken silence, and in the future will say, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the Democracy delight to honor, whether it bo Ha man or Mordecai. Mr. Moss’ communication iuu cks of the lawyer. Madurn ltumor has it that the wonderful creature was hatched and Hedged in Marietta. But be this as it may, it makes but little difference. Mr. Moss starts out by saying, “ Mr. McClure speaks of my votes, rewards,” Ac*., and then says, “ he means in this way covertly to attack and defame a fellow citizen by insinuation and by leaving the peo ple to infer that great wrongs have been done them,’’ Ac. I made no statement about anythiug myself iu any way, except what I said about the Convention. That is all over now, and every man will have his own opin ion about it “As to bridges, what does he menu?’' “Isit to give publicity to a base slander upon myself and the par ties who built these bridges, that I was interested in the coutract?’’ I answer, no ; for I knew nothing about such a slander tui I saw Mr. Moss’ article. Then, I ask, who has giveu publicity to this slander, Mr. Moss or myself. Ho goes on and says, “ I fear they who only want an opportunity to swindle, are those who 1 create these suspicions.” That bomb* | shell didn’t hit me, Captain ; for I ' have never created, circulated, nor 1 heard anything ahout the slander I you allude to, except what you say ; yourself. Hence your invitation to come up and examine the records, aud swear contractors, and get proof, etc., “is,’’ to adopt one jfi your phras es, “ simply ridiculous. If any such thing has ever occurred, any man with a thimbleful of brains would know that the records would not show it. No, Captain, I shall make no in- 1 vestigationson the strength of any. thing I have said ; fo>- I only alluded j to what was a common rumor iu the I county —things the people knew a great deal more abofit than I did ; ' and I did this, not to creato a preju- 1 dice, but to wake up the people in re gild to the Convention, and for the reasons indicated above. No one has turned informant —no one has called over the criminal docket. During tne excitement that prevailed, men said more, perhaps, than they would in cooler moods ; and perhaps I mis apprehended some things, and was wrongfully impressed in regard to others, as lam satirfied I was, iu a conversation with Mr. Hancock. I would not knowingly place a man iu a wrong position—would not detract from the fair fame of any liviug man. Ido not belong to that class of men who think they have ris eu when they have succeeded in pull ing down someone else. If lam elected, I want to succeed on my merits, aud not on the demerits of another. But, Capt., did you not make a slip of the pen when you stated that the State offered rewards. Was it not the veritable Bullock himself that offered them, and that, too, at your suggestion ? Bullock and Georgia are not syuonomous terms, Captain. And did not your lawyer depart from your instructions, when he says, “ the reward was published to the world J or had you forgotten about tho cou ! tract you made with Bullock, as de posed by you, on the trial of Treasur er Angier, that if he would offer the reward, and withhold it from uewspaper publication, you would go ; and that if he, (Bullock,) would not give a reward of $2,0U0 each, aud withheld it from the newspapers, you | mould neither go nor start. This looks a httlo dark and hidden, CaptaiD. Air. Moss says he did not vote for secession. Neither did I. One of the saduest days in my life was the day I heard that Georgia had seceed ed. But these things belong to the past, and we must look to the future, Fellow citizens, your interests are more vitally involved in this election tlinn the interests of the candidates. Remember that the people mourn when the wicked bear rule ; aud , should au unfaithful or a wasteful admiuistratiou of your estato succeed your death, your widow and orphans would bo doubly grieved. I have not made these statements to curry favor for. myself. JE.spe.uk as unto wise men ; judge ve w hat I say. C, M. McCLURE. | Rural Home, Oct 5,1872. SOUND DOCTRINE. The President of the lowa Agricul tural College, in an address on the ed ucation of farmers, lumeuts that the courses of study, not only in this country, but iu Europe, are not adapt ed to the needs of the age. He re marked: * “Being lumbered down with branch es of learning having little reference to the demands of the times, it ofteu er than otherwise unfits young men and young women for the stern duties of life. Lu a word the old education seeks to elevate the professions—good as far as it goes, but it is too narrow iu its scope; the new purposes to take the laborer by the hand, and assist him iu securing those appliances which will enable him to reap the the greatest reward for his toils. It is the aim of the Agricultural College to teach young men aud young wo men such things as will tit them for the actual labor to be performed in maturer years.” Unshed tears are never wiped away.

Who knows himself has occasion ! for bomilily. j. - j J The fear of ill exafcedb often the ill wefenr. ,1 j Who fives for hiiftself alone, U>£3 for a mean fellow. A life without joy*is worse than one | of great grief. Often forgive’ others, but never j | thyself. Whosoever is unchaste cm.-nob lev-! 1 em.ee himself. j We can do more good by being ’ good than in any other way. t There is a foolish chamber even in j } the brain of the sage. ; We do not count a man’s years un- j ; til ffirnSS nothing else to count. J To know how to wait is the secret j j of success. Always speak the truth if you i speak at all. Live up to your engagements if j you make them. None think of the great unhappy : but the great! You can trust no man who unnec : essarily speaks against another. The French have a very significant j saying : It is is always the unexpect | ed which happens. j The May of life blooms but once. j Time is the herb that cures all dis ' eases. No one can be wise on an empty ' stomach. A word spoken in season is the | mother of agea Reprove thy friend privately ; com mend him publicly. Say less than you think, rather than think half what you say. A joyless life is worse to bear than one of active grief. Lies are hiltless swords, which cut the bands than wield them. No fountain so small hut that heaves may be imagined iu its bosom. If you would not have affliction visit you twice, listen at once to what it teaches. Lay silently the injuries that you receive upon the altar of oblivion. V alue tho frieudship of him who stands by you in tho storm; swarms of insects will surround you in the | sunshine. If the whole world should agree to ■ speak nothing but the truth, what an abridgement it would mako of speech ! 1 he heart of a wise man should re semble n mirror, which reflects every object without being sullied with any. THE IMAGINARY BLISS OF THE MAN WHO SLEEPS ON NLES SON’S MATTRESS. The philosopher of the Louisville Courier Journal discourses in the following naughty manner : There is a good deal of wicked talk in the newspapers about the man in Charleston, S. C., who paid SSO for the mattress on which Nilsson slept. Some say ho was moon-struck, some declare him insanse ; while the St. 1 Louis Democrat boldly proclaims him an ass. We see no reason that he should necessarily be anythiug of the kind. He heard Nilsson, und to hear was to admire aud love her. It was natural for the gentleman who heard her to desire the remnants from her wine-glass, the crumbs of bread which fell from her plate, the glovo that covered her hand and touched her oboek that leaned upon that hand. If this is so, afortiori is it true that | the admirer should yearn for the mattress on which her rotund form ; ; was stretched for repose and slumber. It is a good mattress to sleep on, be ! cause such exquisite dreams must j visit the sleeper there ; it is good to keep as a relic, because, however much you may tumble and ruin it, j the scent of the roses will cling round |it still. It might make the man who retired to rest upon it feel curious at first, but he’d soon become accustomed to the thought of snowy frills, the virgin and uncontaminated purity of the gossamer gown that foamed like sea waves upon its sur face, and the billowy pillows on which golden tresses wandered in wanton and enticing loveliness. Ho might soon banish, also, whatever there is of pain iu the thought that a form of rare and exquisite grace and beauty toyed and nestled there ; or, if he re membered the fact, it would be tinged with tlie roseate hue and flowery beauty of visions as fair as ever float ed o’er the fairy land, the land where we are dreaming, These delerious raptures would more than compen sate him for the nervous and sleepless hours he might experience in the be ginning ; aud altogether wo think the mattress one which a good Chris tian might well covekand an infidel adore. T. President Grant sends the informa tion from the Thousand Isles, through the medium of bis pet interviewer, that ho wasn’t at all anxious for a re uomiuation, and only consented to it for the purpose of ascertaining wheth er .he American people approve of bis Administration. This does not ohitne in very harmoniously with the story of Col. Forney, one of the President’s i most devoted friends, wno has pub i lished a narrative, from which it ap pears that he expressly stipulated for a second term before he consented to give up his life-long place of General, with its very handsome annual salary, j However, as President Grant is only anxious to ascertain whether his Ad ministration is upproved, the people will help him to the coveted informa tion next November by electing Hor ace Greeley to the Presidency.— Cou j tier-Journal. The Model Preacher ! — A friend of ours recently asked a member of Con gress, who was his guest, where he would attend church. “ Which one j of the dozen great guns of the pulpit would you bebt like to hear “ I have heard the roar of the canons of the church, all I care to,” the Con gressman replied; “ but I would like i to hear the man who preaches most ; from the still small voice.’’ That an i swer probed the secret disease of our i modern pulpit. It is too secular and worldly; its thought is pitched on too low a key; it is too much saturated f with the spirit of the tunes; it chimes too well with the noises of the street : and club and caucus room to satisfy the deepest wants, the strongest crav ings, the holiest aspirations of human souls. It is uot the times, but the eter -1 nities that the proacher has to deal i with and declare. POETRY. THE GRAY-HAIRED DAME. FROM THE FRENCH OF BERAXGER. j BY HARRY CAKWEN. Oh! inistress.mine, you must grow old, And I must leave you here alone ; Relentless Time has doubly told The happy days I,thought my own, Survive me, android age, though dire, M ill prove my lessons not in vain— A gray-haired dame beside the fire, Repeat your lover’s songs again. When youthful eyes will fondly gaze Upon your careworn wrinkled brow, To trace the charm of other days, And wonder whom you mourn for now ; Oh ! paint my joy—my fond desire, My eager love, my jealous pain— A gray-haired dame beside the fire, Repeat your lover’s songs again. i And they will ask if I loved you, And you will say : Ha loved me ( ever! Or did he prove unkind, untrue, And you will proudly answer : Ney- \ cr 1 Oh ! tell them that my loving lyre Was always constant in its strain— j A gray-haired dame beside the fire, Repeat your lover’s songs again. Aud you, who wept at France’s story, Sing the new!, race the burning 1 songs Iu which I breathed of hope and glo- j , r - v * To sooth her for her bitter wrongs. Tell them the banner of their sire i Swept twenty harvests off the j plain! A gray-haired dame beside the fire, Repeat your lover’s songs again. And, darling, if my poor renown, Can while away one sigh, one tear ; And if with Christmas leaves you crown My portrait for the new-born year ; Look upward for a moment, Ligher ; There nothing more shall part us twain— A gray-haired dame beside the fire, Repeat you lover’s songs again. LINES TO GEN. GRANT. May the woods deny him shelter, And the verdant earth a home ! And the dust a grave refuse him, And bis light fail from the sun ! And in hell his feet shall wander, And even Heaven refuse her God ; So the ass receives his bridle, And the fool receives the rod. % LITTLE SUN REAM* I am a sou, an only sou, A little truant ray, That lingers ’round the homestead roof To drive the gloom away. For, oh ! this world is full of care, As countless thousands know, Aud I must do my little part To scatter light below. An aged father needs my care— He needs me by his side— He needs my little eyes to see, My little hands to guide. The sun, the moon, the stars above, For others brightly beam ; Bat, be it day or be it night, Tis all the same to him. In vain the lovely buds unfold Iu beauty to beguile ; Though loved ones place them in his hand, “ He cannot feel them smile.’’ Aud, sadder yet, my little face My father cannot see, And scarcely knows his darling boy When climbing on his knee. Yet it was not always so— He once beheld the day, And yonder sun bhone brightly down Upon his boyhood way. The lovely flowers once sweetly smiled Around his happy home ; But darkness dropped her veil of night, And left his world in gloom. O, I would give the world, if mine, His vision to restore, Aud mako the glorious sun as bright, As cloudless as of yore I To deck the firmament on high With bright celestial flowers, Aud reillume once again This green, glad earth of ours. To tear away the veil of night That wraps the earth in gloom, And let his eyes enraptured gaze On children, wife aud home. But as I know tins cannot be, 111 strive by every art To sootho the sorrow of his eonl, And cheer his lonely heart. I’ll cull for him tho sweetest flowers, Will sing my sweetest lays, And be the sunbeam of his life, Tho comfort of his days. The sands of life are running low— -1 Lis lamp of life barns dim— Bat, joy to think! iu heaven above There will be light for him. He’ll need no hand to guide him there, In those bright realms of day ; " For God, the Son, forever reigns, And scatters night away.” And ehoull I, too, be called from earth To join mV father there, Li Heaven lie would not know my face- Ha never saw me here. But I would softly breathe my name — Tbit name so dear to him, And gazing fondly in his eyes— Those eyes no ionger dim. He’d know me, and what rapturous joy Would then and there be given, "When he would first behold the face Os his dear boy in Heaven.

Sotae time since the editor of the “Country Gentleman,” Albany, New York, of fered a premium of SSOO for an in | stance of the conversion of wheat in to cheat. He now offers for a limited period SI,OOO for such an instance at tested by incontrovertible proof. It is a very safe offer. It is strange that ; the question should ever be agitated. Why not suppose that wheat which has been eaten out, or killed out, or died out from whatever cause, has been converted into crab grass, be cause the crab grass invariably springs up after such casualties to the wheat? Brooms or wheat is as much grass as Bermuda, and is sometimes in wheat districts i more troublesomo custom er to deal with than the latter. H. We publish the above with the hops that some of cur farming friends may secure the SI,OOO offered by the edit or of the “ Country Gentleman ” for an instance of wheat being converted into cheat. We feel confident that cheat is caused by wheat being bitten down after it is jointed, the opinions of learned theorizers to the contrary notwithstanding. W e have seen too much cheat produced from the above cause not to know whereof we icnte. ' Will some of our friends make the ex ; penment on a small patch next spring, | give us the result and half the reward for the discovery? We tbiuk it is an easy and sure way to make some money. B.

To get horses out of a burning building, harness them ns for their usual work, and they will follow* you out as if nothing had happened. Scratches and heel ciacks are cured by the following method: Wash the feet clean, then dry thoroughly, and apply carbolic salve at least twice a day.

Mr. Editor: —ln a recent number of your popular magazine, you speak of the value of lime as a fertilizer, in reply to the questions of a corre spondent. As I have had some expe rience in the use of lime, you will par don me for sending you for publica tion a few hints as to its application, which may be useful. The great thing in applying lime to land is to distribute it evenly over tne suiface, and then cover it writh a har row, so as to mix it as much as possi bio with the surface soil. It must not be covered too deep. I never apply lime uutil after the land has been plowed. I never use quick-lime, I always slake it, and this is best done by pouring brine over it. When it is well slaked und is a fine powder, I apply it at the rate of about thirty bushels to the acre, taking care, I re peat, to distribute it evenly so that every part of the field may have its proper portion. Lime may be applied at any time. The best time perhaps is just before sowing. I have found it very benefi cial to mix with the lime a couple of bushels of salt, and five or six bushels of good ashes. It must not be expected that lime by itself will restore worn land. The soil must have humus, and if this be exhausted by bad and improvident farming, it must be supplied by ma nures which by decomposition afford ammonia. Lime will not prbduce it. Old Farmer. Hanover Cos., Va. HOME THRUSTS. Alderman Mechi, the famed agri culturist of Tiptree Farm, Kent, Eng land, refering to the advantage of deep plowing, care of stocks, under draining, manures, Ac., and answer ing the objection of expanse which is made to these improvements, gives the oLjectors the following home thrusts: Fanners dig their gardens two feet deep, bat only plow their land four or \ five inches. They take especial care I of their nag horses in good, warm sta bles, but expose their farm horses auu | cattle to all weathers. They deny the j utility of drainage in strong tenacious, ! clays, but dare not dig an under ground cellar ia such soils, because the water would get in. They waste their liquid manure, but buy guano from Peru to repair the loss, and some practical men who are in ecstacies with the urine of the sheep-fold have been known seriously to doubt the benefit of liquid manure. But it may be asked: “ Where is the capital to come from for all these improve ments?” The reply will be: “Where does the capital coni6 from to make railroads and docks, to build steam vessels, to erect a whole town of new squares aud streets, and carry out ev ery other useful and profitable under* Tho colored men of Floyd county have organized a fire compuny. i Santa Anna wants to be president of Mexico agaiQ.
