THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. 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 Father Hyacintiie and Jolix Calvin. —Recently Father Hyacili the, from hi.-> pulpit in Geneva in a long discourse eulogized the life and labors of John Calvin. Between Rome and Geneva, the chair of St. Peter and the memory of John Cal vin, there is a wide gulf. Has Hy aciuthe bridged the gulf? SAMUEL H. SMITH k COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1873. 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. WHAT A SIIYLOCK SAID TO A BROKER IN NEED OF MONEY. [A banker in Wall street, formerly a journal ist, is responsible for the subjoined venture in anew form of dialect poetry, which was posted in the stock room during the flurry on Satur day, and provoked great amusement—from those who were not seeking to borrow:] You vants some monish ? Veil, I tilths I have a leetle more, Vich I vill lend you very low, less than I sharge pefore; I pelief it vas von-half per shent —but den you know, my son, Dcr Bank of England rate vas low—so now I sharges— von. ’Tish very hard for me to live—l cannot make him pay By loaning out my leetle pile at von-quarter every day; Mine vriends dey tell me, “Hold him back ;” we know how brokers do, If dey cannot get at von per shent, why den dey vill bay dwo. You do not likes the dwo per shent ? Why, dat is not so high; Some oder beeples sharge von rate dat almost makes me cry. I must be honest to mineself, and am, as you vill see— Cause if der street is very short, I only sharges dree.

You say der law vill takes me up for sharging more dan seven; Such a ting I never did, so share as dere’s a Hcbeu— Besides, von sltudge he tells me dat he vottld give permission To make de seven interest, and all ihe rest commission. DKLAMETF.R. 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 way, let Prof. White, the elephant trainer, give Sam Slocum a few les sons in orthography. Sam needs in formation on the brain. —New York Evening Post. 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. Os all things in the world that are “better late than never,” goiug to bed certainly ranks first.

SWEET POTATOES. Sweep over occasionally the land intended for Slips, to keep down grass aud weeds and to prevent the land from drying otf too rapidly. Grout the roots of the slips as they are pulled up, with a thick mush of cow dung and clay, drop them along the top of the bed and with a “shin ny” stick press them in the ground. It can be done very rapidly with great saving to the back. Set out in cloudy weather or late in j the afternoon, if the weather is very dry give a little water to ouch plant i and when it has soaked in the earth, j draw dry dirt over to prevent break ! ing.

They will ma ture in time to lie gathered before cot ton begins. W 7 e fully endorse what 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, wiiat will become of us !—Southern Cultivator. 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. * Substratum.

Susan Eberhart, the unfortun ate woman who was hanged at Pres ton on Friday, while in prison wait ing tiie execution of her awful sen tance, whiled away tiie solitary hours by making friends of the rats that had access to her cel!. A gentle man called to see her a few days be fore her execution, and, after some conversation with her, told her that he hud understood that she had some pet rats. She answered affirmative ly, and he then told her he wanted to see them. She tapped on the floor, when out of their holes came the rats until uo Jess than fourteen of them had answered the call. They climb ed upon her lap, and up to her shoul ders and crawled about over her head suffering her to caress and handle them as she pleased, and not one of them manifested the smallest symp toms of alarm. THEN AND NOW. In the early days of the Republic (remarks the Argus), no man was al lowed to sit in the United States Sen ate with the taint of corruption on his garments. The self-respect of honest men would not permit such a thing. In 1707, William Blount, Senator from North Carolina, was caught in a disreputable correspon dence with James Curley, Govern ment interpreter to the Cherokees, with a view of getting illegal possess ion of lands belonging to the Indians. One of his letters was read in the Senate in tiie presence of Blount. On Monday, July 3d, he was accused of high crimes and misdemeanors, and on Saturday, July Bth, he was How is it now? A man who was turned out of a cabinet office because of his corruption, is not only a Sena tor, but at the behest of the Admin istration, lie occupies the position of Chairman of the committee of For eign Relations. Another man who 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 tiie Vice-President stands convicted before the country of having taken a bribe, and of having sworn that no such money was ever paid to him. The fountain cannot rise above its source. Is the world to understand that the American people are lost to all sense of honor end shame? Is it not time to demand of the party in power, that the cod vie ted corrup tionists shall be expelled from their high positions?— dendoeino Demo crat. THE MOUNTAINS AND TIIE BEAUTIFUL FALLS. The following extract we take from 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. THE # Standard <fc Express Is published every THURSDAY MORNING BY S. H. SMITH & CO.
