THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. YOL. 14. STUCK UP! This is not a very polished term; indeed, it is considered rather vul gar withal; and yet its honest An glo-Saxon strength and directness renders it the most expressive of that peculiar pride, engendered of ignor ance and sudden prosperity, w hfch is so contemptible to sensible and culti vated people. It is only of boors and your veneered people—those that have scarcely enough polish on the outside to hide their inherent vulgar ity—that the expression is applicable; and when it is thus used, all at once understand what it means and whom it characterizes. We have no antipathy against the poor. Honest poverty is no crime, though the pride of poverty is often very despicable. Nor have we ought but pity for the ignorant and the de graded. It will always give us joy when we can alleviate the sufferings of the poor with our humble means, and dissipate some of the prevailing ignorance with what light we pos sess. But for your “stuck-up” people we have nothing but hearty contempt. Democratic though we be in the best sense of the term, we have some re spect for your genuine aristocracy, which is the resultant of good blood, culture and wealth; but anything that savors of “shoddyism” we have as much respect as we have for any j other sham or humbug. True refine-1 ment, pure culture, good breeding, is j always attended with a sedulous | avoidance of self-assertion, a quiet demeanor, a gentle reserve, and a dignified bearing ; whereas the “stuck up” would have you always believe lie or she is a person of consequence, and is the last degree of vulgarity that no amount of veneer or polish ran hide. Take a case in point. Not long since a family moved into a town not a thousand miles from here. Let us call them Mr. and Mrs. Frank. They appeared as poverty-stricken and as lean as if they had just been turned outlof a poor-house. Their one rope bedstead and few antiquated chairs, which constituted their furniture, looked as if they- had done duty in Noah’s ark, and had been saved from the debris of the flood. But a slight prosperity came, and with it a few comforts of life. Then their inher ent vulgarity asserted itself. There was a putting on of airs, an aping of superior manners, a swelled strut through the streets, and a consequen tial dignity that would have been highly ludicrous had it not been ex tremely contemptible. It was the story of the donkey in the lion’s skin told over again ! It was the armor of Saul on the boyish David ! It was stuck-up-ishness f An ordinary child could have at once told that neither of these persons was “to the manor born.” Their grandiloquent airs and manners where all put on, and, because of their coarse-grained na tures that cannot be refined, fitted them as well as a suit of store clothes upon a slovenly person. They were simply “stuck-up.” WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUlt DAUGHTERS? Apropos of Mrs. Livermore’s late lecture on the above important ques tion, the Davenport Democrat thus sensibly makes answer: Bring them up in the way they should go. Give them a good, substantial, com mon education. Teach them how to cook a good meal of victuals. Teach them how to wash and iron clothes. I’each them how to darn stockings and sew on buttons. Teach them how to make their own dresses. Teach them to make shirts. Teach them to make bread. Teach them all the mysteries of the kitchen, the dining-room and parlor. Teach them that a dollar is only one hundred cents. Teach them that the more one lives within their income the more they will save. Teach them the further one lives beyond their income the nearer they get to the poor house. Teach them to ‘ wear calico dresses —and do it like a Queen. Teach them that a round, rosy romp is worth fifty delicate consump tives. Teach them to wear thick, wa;m shoes. Teach them to do marketing for the family. Teach them to foot up store bills. Teach them that God made them in his own image, and that no amount of tight lacing will improve the mode. Teach them, every day, hard, prac tical common sense. Teach them self-reliance. Teach them that a good, steady, greasy mechanic without a cent *is worth a dozen oily-pated loafers in broadcloth. Teach them to have nothing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. Teach them to climb apple trees, go fishing, cultivate a garden and drive a road, team or farm wagon. Teach them accomplishments— music, painting, drawing—if you have the time and money to do it with. Teach them not to paint and pow der. Teach them not to wear false hair. Teach them to say no, and mean it; °r yes, and stick to it. Teach them to regard the morals, not the money of the boaux. Teach them the essentials of life— truth, honesty, uprightness—then at a suitable time let them marry. Hely upon it, that upon your teaeh ng depends in a great measure the weal or w oe of their after life. WHA T THE WORLD O WJYS. An estimate, said to be carefully compiled to the debts of the various nations of the world has been made, iroin which it appears that the ag gregate is more than $20,000,000,000 sum which at five per cent, makes •*' annual charge of one billion dol ‘ T or.about one dollar per capita i,„^ v cry man, woman and child on u <v :; ;irth - A'ot much, is it?— Atlan- MODERN CHURCH MUSIC. Rev. Mr. Talmage, the celebrated New York Presbyterian divine, gives it to our modern church fiddle-diddle music in tiie following style: Dundee, Portugues Hymn and Sil j ver Street may hide their heads, when compared with what we heard not long ago in a church—just where it will not do to tell. The minister | read the hymn beautifully. The or | gan began, and the choir sang, as near as could be understood, as fol i lows: G (>—a w—goe—bah Ah—me—la—he O—hah—sah—dali Wo—haw—gee-e-e-o! My wife, seated beside me, did not like the music. But I said, What beautiful sentiment, my dear! it is a l pastoral. You might have known that from the “wo-haw-gee!” You have had your taste ruined by at tending Brooklyn Tabernacle. The 1 choir repeated the last line of the hymn lour times. Then the priina | donna leaping on the first line, and making a slip fell on the second and i that broke and let her through the third. The other voices came in to pick her up, and got into a grand wrangle, and the bass and soprano had it for about ten seconds, but the soprano beat (women always do), and the bass rolled down into the cellar; and the soprano went up into the garrett, and kept on squalling as though the bass on leaving her had pulled out all her back hair. I felt anxious about the soprano, and look ed back to see if she fiad fainted ; but I found her reclining in the arms of a young man who looked strong enough to take care of her. Now I admit that we cannot all have such things in our churches, for it costs like sixty. In one church it costs a hundred dollars to have sung that old communion piece: “Ye hungry, starving poor!” But let us come as near as we can. The tune “Pisgah” has been stand ing long enough on “Jordan’s stormy banks.” Let i t pass over and get out of the weather. And “Hartwell,” and “Antioch,” and “Boylston,” good-bye, till we meet in Glory. Doing Good. —Do you want to do good without money? Then be good to yourselves. He that is true and virtuous exerts a good influence.— When he looks, speaks, or acts, the elements of goodness beam in his countenance, for he develops the na tural language of his soul, which can be read by all men. If you cannot be perfect, strive to attain as near perfection as possible. This is the noblest struggle in which you can engage, one which will elevate you and make you fulfil the great end of your existence. A clergyman gives two sermons every Sabbath, one in the morning and the other in the evening; but he who is true to his higher nature preaches every day du ring the entire week a living sermon, and carries the glad tidings wherever he goes, for actions speak louder than words, and those who see his good ness are stimulated to imitate it. ‘GONE UP FOR NINETY DAYS.’ Birch, of the Newnan Dispatch, has evidently got it bad. Hear him : “On last Saturday evening our lo cal heart was almost made to jump out of our mouth. We were present ed by a young lady with the hand somest boquet we have ever seen; for which, she will accept our most sin cere thanks. “That boquet has been a source of great pleasure to us, and we can hardly keep from writing “boquet” and the name of the donor in every local paragraph; for both of them are as pretty and sweet as can be. That boquet may be the cause of our talk ing sweet to somebody some of these times, too; for, “we know not what is stored away in the future for us.” The following is the “talkingsweet” alluded to by him, (he should be more particular with his letters and not drop them on the street): “Dear Eller: My love for you is stronger than the smell of old sweitz er cheese, or the kick of (a Jerusalem pony or mule, just as you wish) it is purer than the breath of a young crow, and more unselfish than the caterwaul of a young kitten. Asa song bird hungers for the light of day, the cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the trap, as a lean purp hankers after new milk, so I long for thee. You are fairer than a speckled pullet, sweeter than a yankee dough nut fried in sorghum molasses, bright er than the top-knot plumage on the head of a muscovy drake. You are candy, kisses, pound-cake and sweet ened toddy altogether. “If these few remarks will enable you to see the inside of my soul, and me to win your affections, I shall be as happy as a woodchuck in a cherry tree, or a stage horse in a green pas ture. if you can not reciprocate my thrilling passion, I shall pine a way and die like poisoned bedbug in com ing years when the shadows grow long from the hills, and philosophich frog sings his evening hymn, you happy in an other’s love "can come and drop a tear and toss a clod upon the last resting place of your once dear love.” Home Made Candy.—Use a new 7 tin basin ;put into it four tablespoon fuls of “coffee A sugar,” one tea spoonful of good creamtartar, boil, stirring constantly to avoid burning. After it begins to have a soapy ap pearance, try it often by dropping a little into cold water, and if done it w ill at once become brittle. Butter an earthern dish and pour the hot candy into it, that it may cool just enough to handle. Flavor to taste with oil of peppermint, winter-green, sassafras, or lemon. Two drops of oil will flavor it strong. For variety, divide into three parts, and flavor differently, by touching one kind of oil to each; work in the hands at once; the more it is pulled the win ter it will get. A recently-married man in Frank lin county, Massachusetts, coming home rather late the other night, took an umbrella from the rack in the hall and proceeded to his room. The grieved and indignant wife opened her eyes, and seeing her hus band supporting himself by the foot board with one hand, and holding an umbrella spread over his head with the other, cried in astonishment: ‘What art! you doing ? Are you cra zy?” “No,” said he in an unsteady voice, “but—hie —I supposed there’d be a storm —hie—and so I’ve come prepared for it.” SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL IT, 1873. SWALLOWING A MAN. John Thomas was relating his ex perience in the Conway House, and among other things he declared that he could eat a man whole. ! “Bah!” cried Tom Staples, a red faced woodsman, weighing at least two hnndred; “p’haps you could swallow me ?” “Yes.” “I’d like to see you do it.” “I can do it.” “I’ll bet you fifty dollars you can’t.” “I’ll take that bet.” “Then let’s see you begin.” “Not now. I have just eaten my supper 1 will do it to-morrow morn ing, in the presence of as many wit nesses as you may choose, and it shall be done in the square in front of the hotel.” This was agreed to, and the money was put up. By the following room ing the news that John Thomas was to swallow Tom Staples whole had become widespread, and a vast con course, embracing men, women and children, had assembled to witness the wonderful feat. At the appointed time the chief actors appeared in the square. John was smiling confidently, as though sure of success, while "Tom looked timid and uneasy, as though not quite at rest concerning what was to become of him. “Areyou ready?” asked John. “All ready,” answered Tom? “be gin as soon as you please.” “Will you have the goodness to take off your hat ?” “Sartin.” “Now your boots.” Tom removed his boots. “Next you will remove your coat. Those big brass buttons might stick in my throat.” Tom took off his coat, and as he laid it upon the ground one of the cooks came out from the hotel with a pail of melted lard and a big white-' wash brush which he deposited by the side of John Thomas. “Now,” pursued John, “you’ll take off your stockings and then re move your pants and shirt.” “Eh ? D’ye mean me to strip start naked?” queried Tom, aghast. “Os course I do. The agreement was that I should swallcw you. You are meat, your clothes are not, nor were they in the bond. If you will strip I will give you a thorough greasing, and double the bet if yon wish. I know I can swallow—or, at all events, I can try!” Tom give up the bet, and invited his friends into tho hotel. WIIY THEY ARE GOING TO STRIKE. A labor strike is said to be pend ing. The carpenters say they don’t get enough to pay their*board. Shoemakers, that it takes their awl to keep them at work, and their sole dependence is often in their last job. Painters say that they have be come literally liu-ers of wood. Upholsterers that hangings have gone out of fashion. Boilermakers aver that Congress has kept the country in hot water to such a degree that they have no chance. Blacksmiths complain that all the forging is done in Wall street, and there is no chance. Tailors say they mean to give their customers fits. The hatters have kept ahead. The gas-fitters will go in for light work. Printers say they are tired, and can’t “set up” any longer—that’s wliat’s the matter. Bakers say they knead more, ard don’t like to see so many rich loaf ers. Butchers complain of being asked to work at killing prices. Candlemakers urge that wick-ed work ought to be well paid for. Wheelwrights say that all spokes men in Congress voted more pay be fore retiring and they expect to do as well as their felloes. The paper-makers say their busi ness is such that it brings them to rags. And finally, the plumbers propose to have their customers do the work, and charge double price for superin tending it themselves. Each superin tendent will have three tenders, one to fill his pipe, another to hold his hat, and a third to act as substitute when he goes out “to see a man.”— Boston Commercial Bulletin. A terrible hurricane sw T ept over Canton, Miss., on the night of the 29th. A large number of houses were destroyed. Two loaded cars w r ere lifted from the track, one of them being badly wrecked. The track of the hurricane is about one hundred yards wide. Fifty houses were destroyed—loss SIOO,OOO. Only one life lost, and that w ? as a negro woman. Fifteen persons w T ere injur ed, none seriously. The total number of acres planted in cotton in 1872 is set down at eight million four hundred eighty two thousand nine hundred and five. During the past four weeks 108 persons have joined the different churches in Columbus. The meet ings in the different churches con tinue. Two inquisitive fellows in our tow 7 n, on Thursday night of last w r eek were caught eavesdropping on the stairway leading to the Masonic Hall w T here the fraternity at the time w 7 ere holding a business meeting. Being caught in this predicament, they w r cre asked if they would like to join the lodge. This they assented to, and were ushered into the anta room, w 7 ere, according to the rules, they would be required to take the first degree, in order to enter the lodge. Having consented, it is said it w r as token in a very heroic man ner. The first degree in Masonry, especially the one administered upon this occasion, is one not desired by many to be taken upon a cold night —a cold w 7 ater bath. After taking the pereparatory degree, they were told that, by the payment of S2O, they would be allowed to enter. Not having this amount convenient, they quickly retired, being cautioned not to reveal any of the secrets of the fra ternity—Falmouth, Ky., Independ ent. Women charm as a general thing in proportion as they are good. A plain face with a heart behind it is worth a w r orld of heartless beauty. Gentlemen who have tried both uni formly agree to this. I POETRY. “CASTLES IN TIIE AIR." AS SCNG BY B. MELVILLE BOXUXX. This world is full of trouble, there is nothing here but woe, Hardship, toil and struggle no matter where we go; Do what we may, go where we will, we’re nev er free from care, This world we know is nothing but a “castle in the air.” We are tossed upon the sea of life just like a i little boat. Some are east upon its rocks and never get afloat, But still we’ll do the best we can, and never let despair Usurp the place between us, and our “castle in the air. There is a name known o’er the world, to Eng lishmen most dear— And well may they be proud of him —their na tive bard, Shakspkark, \\ hen first his works came on the stage, they made the whole world stare, Yet they were all composed by building “cas tles in the air.” If you take the works of Sliakspeare, and study them well through, You 11 tind each saying is so wise, each senti ment so true; They’ll make you feel while reading them, as if you had been there, Yet the immortal Sliakspeare built his “castles iu the air.” And there is yet another name, to Scotchmen dearer still, \\ hene’er they hear it mentioned it makes each heart to thrill; Rob it y Burns, the poet, but lie was not with out care, When but a simple ploughman, building “cas tles in the air.” And yet he lived quite happily, and cosy, too, I ween, Yes, happy and contented, did he live by “am Jean," Down on the banks of Bonnie Doon, near to the town of Ayr; Nature’s poet, Robby Burns, built “castles in the air.” The Irish had their poet, too, and loved him I am sure, He was a true-born Irishman, and his name was Thomas Moore ; But still he had his troubles, and of sorrow had his share, But Moore was always happy building “castles in the air,” He sang the rights of Ireland; he sang against her wrongs, And ever} 7 true-born Irishman still cherishes his songs; , . He bade the Irish heart rejoice and never to despair, And for Ireland in the future, built “castles iu the air.” But America is not behind any nation on the earth, And can boast of many a poet, too, of pure and native birtli; Among the many Longfellow, whose talents are so rare; Who wrote the best of poetry building “castles in the air.” And then she has had her statesman, who ev ery heart had won, The Father of his country, the great GEORGE WASHINGTON; He fought to set his country free —Independ- ence to declare, And his work is more substantial than mere “.castles in the air.” And now there is another name, the immortal ROBERT LEE, Among the many noted ones what greater name cau be; So in this song it does belong, none brighter can it bear, The love lor liim we cherish is no “castle in 1 the air.” And though lie’s gone from earth away, he lingers with us still, And in each breast, his image blest, will ever cause a thrill Os pride to know, while here below, all noble deeds he’d dare, And his mem’ry ne’er will perish—’tis no “castles in the air.” THE SEASONS Hay and corn, and buds and flowers, Snows and ice, and fruit, and wine— ® Suns and seasons, sleets and showers, Bring, in turn, these gifts divine. Spring blows, summerglows, Autumn reaps, winter keeps, Spring prepares, summer provides, Autumn hoards, and winter hides. Come then, friends, their praises sound ; Summer, autumn, winter, spring, As they run their yearly round, Each in turn with gladness sing! Time drops blessings as he flies— Time makes ripe, and time makes wise. PARAGRAPHICAL Her back was- all I saw ol her; To see her face I tried in vain, Until her fellow-passenger Got up and left the train. I changed my seat and looked again ! So sweet a face I never saw ! An eye with depth of soul within, A face without a flaw. But as I gazed I saw a tear » Roll down her opal-tinted cheek ; And casting oil'all thoughts of fear. I courage found to speak— “ Why are you weeping, fairest maid Say, why should so much beauty cry ?” “I do not weep,’’she tartly said, “I’ve got a cinder in my eye!” Oh the snore, the beautiful snore, filling her chamber from ceiling to floor! Over the coverlet, under the sheet, from her dimpled shin to her pretty feet! Now rising aloft like a bee in June ; now sunk to the wail of a cracked bassoon! Now flute like subsiding, then rising again, is the beautiful snore of Elizabeth jane. Ordination of Colored Bishops. The ordination of the three Bish ops elected Saturday by the Confer ence of the Colored Methodist Church in America, took place Sunday after noon at 3 o’clock, at Trinity M. E. Colored Church, on Jackson street. The ordination sermon was deliver ed by Bishop George F. Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The newly elected Bishops, Bev. Jos. A. Beebe, Bev. L. H. Holsey, and Bev. Isaac Lane were then or dained by Bishop William H. Miles, assisted by Bev. Elders William Taylor, of Texas; Job Crouch, of Tennessee; Stokes Steele, of Louis iana, and B. S. Newton, of Kentucky. In the ceremony of laying on of hands Bishop Pierce also assisted, and afterward delivered the Conse cration Prayer. The church was crowded to its ut most capacity. There was a very large number of white people pres ent.— Augusta Constitutionalist, 'loth. Worth Knowing.— One pound of green copperas, costing *seven cents, dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a water closet, will effectually concentrate and distroy the foulest smells. On board ships and steam boats, about hotels and other public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved under the bed in anything that will hold water, will render a hospital, or other places for the sick, free from unpleasant smells.

A knowledge of what his land will produce, is necessary to the farmer that he may know what ex pense may he allowed in cultivation, etc. This he must learn by trying his land—he may'think he knows by what others have done. This is well enough, if he is sure he can do as oth ers do. Second. A great many unsuccess ful farmers get in the grass, and fail to keep up with their work, but you will hardly ever find one who has'not an excuse. It was too wet or too dry, or the hands failed to work, or some thing prevented the work being done in the proper way and at the proper time; when the real cause was bad management. And the reason why they don’t learn to manage better is, they don’t attribute the results to the true cause. If they would say I fail ed, instead of the seasons, etc., they might learn to manage better. Third. A farmer should know what his means will admit of his doing— how many hands, nudes, etc., it will take to do the work he proposes to have done in a certain time. This perhaps requires the nicest of all cal culations, and asinan by nature wants to do more than he can do, it would, be well for him to guard against lay ing off more work than he is able to do. The only rule that I can give that will be sure to guard him against this great error is to calculate what he will do f/ds year by what he did last. Fourth. A great many good men, and especially farmers, are careless or indolent. They are always cheerful and accommodating, and proposing to do a great deal next year, but wait until itis too latetobegin. Theway to avoid this is to commence at once, and never stop. If you are waiting I for to-morrow or next week before you go to work, you may know you belong to this class of good fellows. Fifth. The farmers who make more than they consume, generally know what their land will produce^-what their means will admit of their do ing-—lay off no more work than they can have done, and adopt a rule for cultivation that they are able to car ry out. If these things mark a man’s success in business, the young man would do well to heed them. Sixth. To know how to do is indis pensably necessary. This may be ac quired by seeingothers do, or reading how they do. It is equally necessary to know what one knows, and what he can do. Let us consider how we may learn this. Did your business last year turn out what you expected it would? If it did not, acknowl edge the fault as yours—not knowing what to expect, etc. Did you carry out vour plans? If not, more than iik('hv* the fault was yours, and you would do well to so consider it. Did you do all the work you proposed? If you did not, acknowledge that it was your fault, not knowing what to expect of yourself. By such proceed ure you may learn yourself by the same rule that others know you by, which is: What you will do and know, by what you have done and know. ORCHARD GRASS. We have had several inquiries as to the value of orchard grass as a hay crop, and the opinions o* - our corres pondents seem to vary very much.— We find that where it is allowed to stand until nearly ripe, the verdict seems to he that it makes very poor hay. In England it is esteemed, and is usually known as cock’s foot. Its main advantages are that it starts, very early in the spring, grows very fast during the summer, and bears frost well in the tall and early win ter. One objection to it is its dispo sition to grow in bunches, or tufts, but this can, in great measure, be remedied by thick seeding. Anoth er objection is that it should he sown alone, for it ripens most too soon for clover, and most too early to be cut with timothy. This is probably the main reason why our farmers do not grow more of it. We have sown it with clover instead of timothy, and find the mixture to make first-class hay, but in order to get the full growth of the clover, we have to let the orchard grass stand longer than we would if sown alone. It is rapid ly growing into favor in Kentucky and Tennessee. — Exchange. GOOD BULES FOB FABMEBS. 1. Take good papers and read them. 2. Keep an account of farm ope rations. 3. Do not leave implements scatter ed on the farm, exposed to snow, rain and heat. 4. Bepair tools and buildings at a proper time, and do not suffer a sub sequent three-fold expenditure of time and money. 5. Use money judiciously, and do not attend auction sales to purchase all kind of trumpery because it is cheap. 6. See that fences are well repair ed, and cattle not grazing in the meadows, or grain fields, or or chards. 7. Do not refuse to make correct ex periments in a small way, of many new things. 8. Plant fruit trees well, care for them, and of course get good crops. Sweet Potatoes succeed best of course on a deep and rich sandy soil, with a warm exposure. The ground should be well ploughed, and harrow ed fine. Plough in crosses four feet square, and at each angle make a hole and fill it with some rich compost and the surface soil mixed, and draw up the earth so as to make a flat hill. In each hill plant two sets, covering about two inches deep, and as they grow keep drawing the earth around them with the hoe. In this section they are not planted until about the 10th of May. Plaster, or gypsum, should be sown on clover fields at once, if not already done— two to three bushels to the acre are enough— and fields of grain that are"to]be top-dressed with artifi cial manures, should have them ap plied as soon as possible. Pudding Sauce. —One table spoonful of butter and one cup of white sugar beaten well together, then add one egg frothed, and a gill of new milk, make it in a bowl, set it over a teakettle of boiling water, stir it constantly until heated through, then add one gill of wine and spice.
