A NOBLE WOMAN.
JD A YOUNG LADY OF CARTERS*
VILLE.
Ttic now house was finished at last.
nn<l the owner, Harry Jackson, had
brought his intended wife to view
their future home. They had been
engaged three years, but Ilarry had
always said he would never marry
until he had a start in the world.
Now in addition to a comfortable
home he had a good situation us fore
man in a factory. The wedding day
was therefore fixed, three months
from that time. No one found fault
with the match, but all declared the
happy pair well suited for each other.
Lucie James, the bride-elect, was
neither a belle nor a beauty, hut just
a sweet little woman, with domestic
tastes. As to her family, they were
respectable, and always had been, as
far back its memory could go. At the
present time none of them lived in
T except Lucie’s parents, who
were getting to he old people.
“It's a good house, and well built,”
said Harry, looking around him with
satisfaction. “I allowed none hut
tin* best of material used. It might
have been done cheaper, but 1 said
no, it is for a lifetime.”
“And so bright and cheerful,” said
Lurie. “It teems like home already.
Some houses strike a chill as soon as
you enter them, but I don’t think
burs can ever be one of that kind.”
“I don’t think an.j house could
with j/ou for its mistress,” returned
Ilarry.
In every apartment Lucie found
something to praise and admire,
from the parlor to the kitchen. Open
ing the door of a nice little bedroom,
she remarked, “This shall be our
father and mother’s room. You
must have planned it for them, such
a dear, good Harry as you are.” And
the young lady laid her hand on his
arm.
Harry took no notice of the slight
advance, but stood-looking thought
ful and embarrassed.
“Os course my parents are to live
with us?” said Lucie, after a pause.
“I feared you might expect it,” an
swered Harry, “and l have avoided
the subject in such a way that I hoped
you might understand me without
any explanation. It seems you did
not, however, and. the explanation
may as well coma now as ever. If
you will think the matter over you
will see that this cannot be.”
“Why not?”
“Because no one could expect a
young man to take such a burden up
on his shoulders.”
‘ But they’ll not ho a burden upon I
you. My parents are not poor.”
“And who’ll take can* of them in
their old age?” asked Harry.
“Who should hut the (laughter,
they cared for when a child ?” replied !
Lucie.
“But I shall want my wife to wait
""••YYhm't l snail ever fail in
my duty.”
“I’m sure you would not, my dar
ling; so now its settled, and we will
say no more about it.”
“Harry, I put the same question to
you. Who will take can* of my pa
rents in their old age? Who, if their
daughter forsakes them ?”
“1 don’t ask you to forsake them,”
said he, impatiently; “that’s just
your highflown way of putting things.
1 am willing you should do as much
for your parents as other people do
for theirs. But who hesitates to mar
ry and leave the old folks behind? It
is the way of the world. The young
bird forsakes tlie old nest and builds
itself anew one.”
“But have you never read how the
young and strong-winged stork car
ried the old o it* on its back, and would
you have ire less dutiful than the
fowls of the air?” asked Lucie.
“But the brute creation are no pat
tern for us,” said Harry, seeing how
Lucie had turned the tables on him.
“And don’t he Scriptures say a man
shall leave father and mother and
cleave unto his wife? Answer me
that. Os course the same rule holds
good for a woman also. So, now, my
dear let us drop the subject. 1 haven’t
shown you the second story yet. I
hope you will admire the staircase.”
And the young man started to lead
the way up-stairs.
“It is no use to go any further,”
said Lucie, firmly.
“What do you mean by that?”
asked Harry, stopping and looking
back.
“That I shall live where my parents
do.”
“Without me?”
“That’s for you to decide.”
“And L have decided. Os all the
women in the world, I have chosen
you; but when i marry you I do not
marry your family.”
“Very well,sir.”
“llow am i to understand that ?”
“That you and I part.”
“All light. Llut let me tell you one
thing. lam not the man to be trilled
with. It is now or never ”
“Never,” said Lucie.
“And let me tell you this, that if
you will not marry ‘me, there are
plenty that will. There is Jennie
Jones, the handsomest girl in the
country. 1 don’t say that she is to be
had for the asking, but I have reason
to believe that siie thinks well of me.
As to this treak of yours, it is noth
ing more nor less tnau simple obsti
nacy.”
“Hard words avail nothing, but
this I will say, Whoever you bring
here, be it Jennie Jones or another, i
scarcely think she could be to you
what 1 could have been—l, who have
loved you so long and faithfully.
And, Harry, when you shut me out
of your heart, because I refused to
break the Fifth Commandment, take
care that you do not shut out Hod’s
blessing at the same time.”
Lucie had advanced to the outside
door and was standing on the piazza.
As she said the last words, she raised
her eyes to heaven. Harry thought
she had never looked so beautiful anil
that he never loved her so well, but
hesaid not a word. lie walked home
with her m silence, and refused to
enter the house.
Time went in loss than
four months Harry was married to
Jenny Jones. He soon found that
she diil not care for him, but for his
house and what money he made for
her to spend foolishly for fine dress
ing, on which, instead of helping her
husband by attending to the house
hold affairs and making him happy
by being a kind and attentive wife,
-die spent all her thoughts and his
money. This state of alfairs did not
last long, lbr, after an unhappy life of
one year, she left her home and fled
with a wandering vagabond. While
they were crossing the ocean on their
way to his far off home she fell over
board and was drowned. In the
meantime Mr. James had moved to
another place and in three months
died, i lis wife, being an old lady al
ready, soon followed him, leaving Lu
cie an orphan, but in that time she
had gained many friends.
Lucie’s parents left her a nice little
sum of money, and, although she had ,
been so disappointed in the man she
loved, she still retained her loveliness I
and sweet temper.
Soon after the death of her parents,
Lucie heard of Harry’s misfortune,
but had no sympathy for him; he do-1
served none.
Hhe married a man who was worthy j
of her, and her life henceforward was j
one of unalloyed happiness, never
having cause to regret the rejection of!
i her iirst love.
FROM GEENLAND'S ICYMOUN-1
TAIN.
While iiegnald Hebcr was rector of!
the Episcopal Church at Hodnet, j
Shropshire, he went to pay a visit to
his father-in-law, Dr. Shipley, then
vicar of Wrexham, on the bonier of I
Wales.—l b her was in his thirty sec
ond year, aud had -come to \Vrex- !
ham, to deliver the first series of Sun- j
day evening lectures in Dr. Shipley’s ;
church. In the morning of that same i
(lay, Dr. Shipley was to deliver a dis- j
course in behalf of the “Society for
the I’opagati m of the Gospel in For
eign Farts.”
On tiie afternoon before “Whit
sunday, (181!)), Heber aiul his father
in-law sat chatting with a few friends
in Dr. Shipley’s parlor. Dr. Shipley,
knowing his son-in-law’s happy gift
in rapid composition, said to him, !
“write something lor us to sing at!
the service in the morning.” Short!
notice that— for a man to achieve his j
immortality. Heber retired to an
other part of the room, and in a lit
tie time had prepared three verses, of;
which the* lirst one ran thus:
“From Greenland’s icy mountains;
From India’s coral strand,
Where Afric’s sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand ;
From many an ancient river;
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error’s chain.”
Heber read the three verses over,
and only altered a single word. The 1
seventh line of the second verse was.
‘•The savage in his blindness.”
The author erased that word, and j
substituted for it the better word
heathen. —“There, there,” coolly re
marked Dr. Shipley, that will do very ;
well.” Heber was not satisfied and
said, “No, no; the sense is not com
plete.” In spite of his father-in-law’s
earnest protest, Heber withdrew fora
lew moments longer, anti coming
back, read the following glorious bu
gle blasts which ring like the reveille
of the millennial morning:
“Waft, waft ye winds, the story,
Till like a nea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole 1
Till o’er our ransomed nature ;
The lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.”
“What shall we sing it to?” inquir
ed Dr. Shipley. Mr. Heber who had
a musical ear, suggested a popular
air called: “Twas when the seas
were roaring.” The suggestion was
adopted and on the next morning the
people of Wrexham church listened
to the “first rehearsal, of a lyric
which has since been echoed by mil
lions of voices around the globe.
The air to which it was originally
sung has given place, at least in our
American ohurenes, to a sonorous and
and lofty tune, composed by l)r. Lo
well Mason. The air- is worthy of
the hymn, and both are perfect. No
profane hymn tinker ever dared to
lay his bungling fingers on a single
syllable of those four stanzas which
the Holly Spirit moved Reginald
Heber to write. Little did the young
rector of Hodnet dream, as he listen
ed to the lines sung that Sabbath
morn, that lie was catching the first
strains of his own immortality. He
builded better than he knew.” He
did more to waft the story of Calvary
around the earth than if he had
preached like Appollos, or had found
ed a board of missions. In the
monthly concert, held in New Eng
land school-houses? in frontier cabins,
on the decks of missionary ships
bound to “Ceylon’s Isle, and in the
vast assembly of the American Board,
Heber’s trumpet hymn has been sung
with swelling voices and gushing
tears. It is the marching music to
which Christ’s hosts keep step, as
they advance to the conquest of the
globe. _
The Family Hammer. —There is
one thing that no family does with
out. — That is a hammer. And yet
there is nothing that goes to makeup
the equipment of a domestic estab
lishment that causes one-half as much
agony and profanity as a hammer.
It is always an old hammer, with
a handle that is inclined to sliver,
and always hound to slip. Tne face
is as round as a sud m >on and as
suinoth as glass. When it striks a
1 nail lull and square, winch it aas
! been known to ho, tne act will be
: found to result from a combination
of pure accidents. The family hum
mer is one of those rare articles we
never profit by when it glides oil' a
nail-head, and mnsues down a cou
ple of fingers, we unhesitatingly de
posits it in the yard and ooserve that
we wid, never use it again. But the
biood has hardly dried on the rag be
fore we are out doors in searen of
th.it hammer, and ready to make an
other trial. The result rarely varies,
out we never profit by it. Tne aw
ful weapon goes on knocking off our
nails, and mashing wuolejoints, and
Slipping oif cue Handle to the c ml'u
; sion of mantle ornaments, and break
ing the commandments, and cutting
up an assortment of astounding and
unfortunate antics, without ict or
hinder.tnee, and yet we put up with
it, and pat the handle on again, and
lay it away where it won’t get lost,
and do up our mutilated and smart
ing fingers, and yet if tne outrageous
thing should happen to get lost we
kick up a regular hullabuoloo until
it is found again. Talk about tne
tyrauizing influence of a bad habit?
It is not to be compared with the
family hammer. —Danbury News

POETRY.
SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER
THERE.
When we hear the music ringing
Through the bright celestial dome.
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home
To the land of ancient story,
Where the spirit knows no care,
In the land of light and glory,
Shall we know each other there ?
When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends who greet us,
In the glorious spirit land ?
Shall we see the dark eyes shilling
On us as in days of yore ?
Shall we feel their dear arms twining
Fondly round us as before?
Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light,
For the thrilling angel voices,
And t lie angel faces bright,
That shall welcome us in Rea veil,
Are the loved of loDg ago,
And to them ’tis kindly given
Thus their mortal friends to know.
0! ye weary ones and lost ones,
Droop not, faint not, by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and lost ones,
In the land of perfect day.
Harp-strings touched by angel fingers.
Murmur in my raptured ear;
Evermore their sweet tones linger—
Wo shall know each other there.
HOW -1 PAPER IS MADE.
A PARODY.
“Pray, how is a newspaper made?”
The question is easy to ask,
Bat to answer it fully, my dear,
Were rather a difficult task ;
And yet in a bantering way,
As the whip-poor-will sings in the glade,
I’ll venture a bit of a lay
To tell how a paper is made.
An editor sits at a desk,
And ponders the things that appear
To be claiming the thoughts of the world—
Things solemn, and comic, aud queer—
And when he lnus hit on a theme
lie judges it well to parade,
He writes, and he writes, and he writes,
And that’s how a paper is made.
An editor sits at Iris desk,
And puzzles his brain to make out
“Telegraphic” so squabbled aud mixed,
It is hard to tell what it’s about,
Exchanges are lying around—
While waiting dispatches delayed,
He clips, and lie clips, and lie clips,
And that’s ho\* a paper is made.
An editor out in the town,
In search of the things that are new—
The things that the people have done,
The things they’re intending to do—
Goes peering and prying about,
For it’s of many a grade ;
He tramps, and he tramps, and he tramps,
And that’s how a paper is made.
All that these workers prepare,
Os every conceivable stripe,
Is sent to the printer, and he
Prpeetdeth to stick in type.
His lines, all respecting his will,
In slow moving columns parade—
He sticks, and lie sticks, and he sticks,
And that’s how a paper is made.
In short, when the type is all set,
And errors cleared up, more or less,
And hurried away toThe press,
The pressman arranges his sheets,
His inks give me reqnsite shade,
Then he prints, and he pripts, and he prints,
And that’s liow a paper is made.

Too Much Learning.—Mr. Bar
num has several elephants in train
ing for his traveling show. They
are taught to dance the rope, turn
the organ, stand on their heads, and
to perform various feats. One of
these elephants died, yesterday.
The news was sent to Mr. Barnaul,
written on the back of a card, by one
of the assistant trainers, and read as
follows;
“Me. Plenum, one of the eli/ants is
ded. He dyed of enfonnation on the
6 nine .”
Sam Slocum.
“That’sall right,” said Barnum,
on reading the loiter. “We must
not teach elephants so much. Tney
can’t stand a high degree of educa
tion. Our giving this animal such a
stock of‘enfonnation on tne brane’
has cost me SIO,OO ). Hereafter con
fine them to tae rudiments. By tiie

A Michigan man has invented a
unique, poetical, and, to his mind,
eminently practical- mode of travel
ing rapidly on horseback. His idea
is to construct a cone shaped baioon,
which is to be laid lengthwise upon
the horwe’s back. The animal and ri
der are then to be weighed, and the
baioon filled with just gas enough to
lift all but a fi-w pounds weight of
horse and rider from the earth, in or
der that the frisky Pegasus may
have nothing to do but go ahead.
The possible speed of such a contriv
ance is as yet beyond conjecture.

SWEET POTATOES.
Sweep over occasionally the land

land from drying otf too rapidly.
Grout the roots of the slips as they
are pulled up, with a thick mush of

It can be done very rapidly with
great saving to the back.

PEAS.
In the latter part of this mouth a

peas may be planted. They will ma

Mr. Phinazee has said about peas.
! No crop is more underrated amongst
us than the pea crop. It will grow
on poor land and wilt improve it; re
quires Jess cultivation than anything
we grow except the small grains and
is excelled by nothing as stock feed.
We hope all of our readers will ar
range to put their stubble land in
peas as soon as the small grain is ta-
K.eu otf. It is a matter ol vast impor
tance to the South the present year,
to raise all the provisions ii can. We
.are apprehensive of more disaster to
j our farming interests this year than
; any but one since the war. A large
| provision crop can avert the dangers
| widen threaten to engulph us.
With a short provision crop and a
failure ol the cotton crop or an enor
mously large one, witn low prices,

HOW TO KEEP" HOGS FAT IN
PENS.
Mr. G. F., asks us, “what can be
done to keep my hogs healthy, con
fined in pens. They have plenty of
corn and water, and are kept clean ;
yet they often have a miserable ap
petite, and do not gain as fast as they
should. They have sometimes ap
peared feverish, and on butchering
last fall found livers not quite
healthy.—Can vou give me any rem-
I edy ?”
This brings up questions of great
; importance on pig feeding. The
1 first mistake to be corrected, is the
! * Mi'4
alone. Corn meal, or corn unground,
is in too solid and compact a torm as
; it reaches the stomache, the gastric
juice cannot properly circulate
through it, and perform its digestive
function. The hog requires a cer
tain proportion of coarse food to be
given with tiie grain, in order to
maintain it in health.
We experimented with six pigs of
the same fitter, fed three wholly up
on corn meal wet up in cold water,
and the other three were led upon
corn meal mixed with double its bulk
of green cut clover. At ten months
old they were slaughtered, and those
fed upon meal and clover dressed fif
ty percent, mote than the three led
upon meal alone. The symtoms of
those fed upon meal alone were quite
similar to those mentioned by G. F.,
while those fed upon meal and clover
were always healthy, and ate, in ad
dition to the clover, as much corn
meal as the others. An experiment
in winter with meal atone, and meal
and clover hay cooked, resulted Lite
same;and from these and various
other trials, vve become satisfied that
much of the disease among pigs is
occasioned by feeding wholly on con
centrated food, — Live Stock, Farm
and Fireside Journal.
SUBSOILING.
Mr. Editor. —ls all our farmers
could be induced to realize the value
of subsoiling, and to utilize their
knowledge, this great country would
instantly bound forward in the road
to wealth and power. A man’s pos
sessions extend “from the zenith to
nadiar,” not terminating three or
four inches under ground, as many
seem to suppose. There is great
wealth in our land, if we will but de
veloped. The roots of our crops will
go as deep as the ground is thorough
ly broken, and no deeper, be tnat
two inches or two feet, past sun
nier we planted a field of corn with
the usual shallow plowing, with the
exception ofabout an acre, in which
the ground had been broken to the
deptn of about fifteen inches. The
result in favor of the deep culture
was most gratifying—most astonish
ing. Twice the cost of the extra
plowing expended in fertilizersconid
not nave paid half so well.
Don’t say “you can’t;” you can.
Commence plowing early, so as to se
cure plenty of time, it you cannot
secure the Brindiy subsoiiers, orsomt
oilier good implements make them.
Take a burnt iron one inch thick, two
inches broad and about two feet long.
Make a suitable point on one end,
and insert in a Strong stock, much as
you would a common coniter, and
you have an excellent subsoil plow
at but a trifling cost.
England, with her five hundred
steam plows, tearing up the earth to
the depth of three feet, is thoroughly
demonstrating the immense profita
bleness of deep culture. Let the
ground be plowed sufficiently deep
before planting, and a few weeks oi
dry weather in the summer will not
produce a drouth—tiiere will be no
drouths.
The underlying clay can be con
verted into soli. Tne air we breathe
is surcharged with the pabulum o
plants, it permeates the earth as
deep as it is broken, depositing it>
fertilizing gases, and gradually con
verted it into soil, which, with the
moisture which the lower loosened
earth always contains, invites the
roots downward.
Subsoiling will yield a hansome
per centage on the outlay the first
season, besides permanently improv
ing the land. Don’t try to farm
without subsoiling; you can’t afford
it.

acknowledged that while he was
Secretary of the Interior ho accepted
ten thousand dollars from a well
known lobbyist to aid in buying the
seat lie occupies, not only justifies his
action but is the public apologist for
his equal y guilty associates. No
steps are taken by the Senate to purge
itself of these corruptionists. Even

THE MOUNTAINS AND TIIE
BEAUTIFUL FALLS.

a correspondent’s description of the'
beautiful scenery of North-eastern j
Georgia, to the Atlanta Constitution. 1
The railroad referred to is the Air- :
Line. It will be seen that anew city,
by the name of Toccoa, is now being '
built up on that railroad.
Perhaps the tourist and invalid
who, in the summer, are on tip-toe;
for a healthy resort, where the eye,
can feast and the body fatten, have
most cause to rejoice in the building
of this road. The highest point of el- j
evati m between New York and New
Orleans on the highlands of this line
is at a place called Mt. Airy, some 9b
milts from Atlanta and is* 1,010 feet
above tide-water. From it you can 1
see the Bine Ridge for a distance of
100 miles; Tray mountain, 8,000 feet,
high; Mt. Yonah, an Indian name j
that, means bald, and the mountain, j
2,800 ft et high, and is a chunk of sol-'
id granite; Curraaee mountains; Ta- ,
ble Rock and Csesar’s Head, favorite |
resorts lor the South Carolinians;
Walker mountain; Bawnee,; Stone,
and die old Ivninesaw mountains. !
The ie.l rest .and mo.-t accessible point !
to ti se mountains is a station to hi
catle l Toccoa City, and is 03 miles 1
from Atlanta. It is on the old na
tion: ! stage road, the same road that
General Jackson camped on a couple*
of w.-eks when he marc ted, in the)
Indian war, from Charlotte to Tab,
ia poos t. A quarter of a mile from,
here is a point from which you can
trace, with the naked eye, the Sa
vannah river for one hundred and *
forty mites, and with a glass you can I
plainly see the city of Augusta, one
hundred and forty miles, distant,
i'oeeoa City is one mile and a half'
from i’oeeoa Falls. The name Toccoa
is Indian, and means beautiful. The j
falls iS9 feet high. Over four thou-1
sand names were registered here last :
summer. The i'ullulah (means ter-i
ribh | Falls are twelve miles and a
half from Toccoa City. There are I
three falls to the Tuliuiah in a dis
ranee of three miles, and the aggre
gate height is 420 fret. At the bot
tom of the first of these falls, 140 feet ,
perpendicular, is a large basin of wa
ter and the water looks eddy enough, 1
but to slip in is instant death; the’
water whirls you under and there is'
no chance for escape. For this reason
the basin is called the Devil’s Punch
Bowl. Toccoa City, is 4 miles from
Uurrahee mountain, 20 from Mount
Yonah, and 28 from Tray. And it is
destined to become one of the promi
nent summer resorts in the tiouth.
