BY JOHN It. YATES. i’m thinking, wife, of neighbor Jones, that man with stalwart arm lie lives in peace ami plenty on a forty-acre farm; While meu arc all around us, with hands and hearts asore, Who own two hundred acres, and still are wanting more. I tis is a pretty little farm; a pretty little house, He has a loving wife within, as quiet as a mouse; Ilia children play around the door—their fa ther’s life to charm— Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy little farm. No weeds are in the cornfields, no thistles in the oats; The horses show good keeping by their fine and glossy coats; The cows within the meadow, resting ’ueath the beachen shade, Learn all their gentle manners of the gentle milking maid. Within the field—on Saturday—he leaves no cradled grain To be gathered on the morrow for fear of coming rain; lie keeps the Sabbath holy—his children leant his ways— And plenty tills his barn and bin after the harvest days. lie never has a law-suit to take him to the town For tite very simple reason, there are no line fences down; The bar-room in the village does not have for him a charm; I can always find my neighbor on his forty acre farm. His acres are so very few, he plows them very deep; ’Tis his own hands that turn the sod—’tis his own hands that reap ; He has a place for everything, and things are in their place; The sunshine smiles upon his fields, content ment iu his face. May we not learn a lesson, wife, from prudent neighbor Jones, And not—for what we haven't got —give vent to sighs and moans ? The rich ain’t always happy, nor free from life’s alarms; But bk'st are they who live content, though small mav be their farms. “REA UTIFUL SNORE.” “Oh! the snore, the beautiful snore, Filling the chamber from ceiling to floor! Over the coverlet, under the 6heet, From her dimpled chin to her pretty feet! Moaning, Groaning, Filling the air, Beautiful snore! it raises your hair; Now floating 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.” At a wedding iu Glenn’s Falls a short time since, among the bridal presents was a broom with these lines attached: Accept this from one who knows the art, And with it yourself defend ; In sunshine use the brushy part, In storms the other end. The incorrigible Donn Piatt, con templating the possibility that Capt. Jack will exterminate the American people at the rate the very one-sided Modoc war is going, throws a sop to that ferocious chief by saying that he desires to be distinctly understood, before this thing goes any futher, that Copt. Jack has always been his first choice for President. SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1873. “BEHIND THE SCENES.” MRS. CAUDLE IN BOWLIXO GREEN— A ‘city father” gets a cur tain-lecture. “They say” that a member of our City Council recently returned home at a late hour and was regaled with a curtain lecture from his better half, which ran somewhat after thisstyle ; “E v-e-r-y night! Here it is half 1 past one o’clock! It’s a wonder you ; come home at all! What—do—you think—a—woman—is made for? I do believe if a robber was to come and carry me off you wouldn’t care o-n-e cent. What is it you say ? ‘City Council business must be attended to!’ City Council business! How do I know you go to the City Coun cil ? Does the City Council meet o- v-e --r-y night? They dont meet but once in—New York. But I suppose B-o-w --1-i-n-g G-r-e-e-n is a more important place. Oh yes—out e-v-e-r-y night. Twelve o’clock —one o’clock—two o’clock. Here I stay with the cWl i dren, all aion»—lying awake half of the night waiting for you. Couldn’t | come home any sooner? Os i you couldn’t if you didn’t want to. But I know something; you think I don’t, but I do. I wish I didn’t. Where were you Monday night? Tell me that. The Marshal told me the City Council didn’t meet that night. Now what have you got to say? ‘Couldn’t get a quorum!” well, if you couldn’t why din’t you come home? Out e-v-e-r-y night— hunting—for—a—quorum. Bet you wouldn’t hunt ine this late, if I was missing. Where were you Thursday night and Friday night*? There was a show in town, wasen’t there? Do you always put on your best vest and a clean shirt to go to the Council? What did you buy that bottle of hair ; oil for, and hide it? ‘Oil for your | hone, indeed ! Whoever heard of hair-oil for a whetstone? 80 you j think I didn’t see you in the other room, brushing and greasing your hair, andlookingiu the glass at,your pretty self? ‘A man ought to be de cent? He ought, ought he? Yes, indeed, a decent man ought to be, and a decent man will stay at home with Ills wife sometimes, and not be ! out e-v-e-r-y night. How comes it I that the City Council didn’t meet ! but twice a month last year? ‘Trying to work it out of debt!’ Yes, that’s probable— very—laughing and jok. ing and smoking and swapping lies will work a debt off, won’t it? Now I—want—to—know—how — much— longer—you—are—going— to— keep —this—night—business? Yes, 1 ; want to know. Out e-v-e-r-y night City Council, Free Masons, Red men, ! Odd Fellows, shows, hair oil—and its brush and brush until you’ve near ly worn out the brush and your head too. Whatisityou say? ‘lt helps your business to keep up your social relations!’ Ah, indeed! You’ve got relations here at home, sir. They need keeping up some, I think. What did you say about catchig it’ the other night at a eucher party? ‘Fellers, it’s II o’clock, but let’s play awhile longer—we won’t catch it any worse when we get home.’ A pretty speech for a d-e-e-e-n-t man! ‘Catch it!’ Catch it!’ Well, I intend you shall catch it—a little. What’s that you say? ‘lf I wouldn’t fret you so you would stay at home more! Well, sir, do you stay at home a few nights and try it. Perhaps the fretting would stop. Out e-v-e-r-y night be cause I fret you so. What’s that, sir? ‘You know ladies who ain’t al ways scolding their husbands !’ You do, do you ? How come you to know them? What right have you to know whether other women fret or not? That’s always the way. You men think that all the other women are saints but your wives. Oh, yes —saints s-a-i-n-t-s I’ll have you to know, sir, that there isn’t a woman in this town that’s any more of a saint than I am. I know them all, sir—a h-e-a-p better than you do. You see the sugar aud honey side of them, and they—only—see—the— honey—and—sugar—side— of— you. Now, sir, I just want you to know that if you don’t stay at home more than you do, I’ll leave these children to get burnt up, and I’ll go out e-v --ery night. When a poor woman gets desperate, why, sir, she is desperate, that’s all. A GOOD USE OF WIT. While Phineas Rice, an early Methodist preacher, was stationed in one of the New York churches, he found that many of the young peo ple, of both sexes, were accustomed to leave the church before the close of the evening service. It annoyed him, and ho determined to stop it. The next Sabbath evening, before he commenced his sermon, he said; “Some of my brethren have been greatly afflicted that so many young women leave the church before the service is through. But I tell them they ought not to feel so, for doubt less most of those that go out are young women who live at service, and their mistresses desire them to be at home at nine o’clock : and if they are not at home by that time, they will either lose their places or offend their mistresses, and they don’t want to do either. They must eith er go out in time to get home at nine o’clock or stay at home altogether. This would he very hard for them. And servant girls have beaux as well as other girls, and the young meu have to go out and wait upon them home; and so, hereafter, when these young women leave the church be fore the service is over, you will un derstand who they are, and not feel badly about it.” The brother who gave this fact said: “We were no more annoyed after this ; they either stayed away, or stayed till meeting was closed.”— Montreal Witness. WIT FROM THE PULPIT. It is related of a certain New Eng land divine who flourished not many years ago, and whose matrimonial re lations are supposed not to have been of the .most agreeable kind, that one Sabbath morning, while reading to his congregation the parable of the supper, in which occurs the passage : “And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them ; I pray thee have me excus ed. And another said: I have mar ried a wife, and therefore cannot come” —he suddenly paused at the end of his verse, drew off'his specta cles, and looking around on his hear ers, said, with emphasis: “The fact is, my brethren, one woman can draw a man farther away from the kingdom of heaven than five yoke of oxen.” MIKE’S REVENGE. ROW A MILESIAN GOT EVEN WITH HIS EMPLOYER—BEW r ARE OF DISCHARGED COACHMEN. The Chicago Times describes an a musing incident, or rather a series of incidents, that happeuevl to a Mr. L , a worthy merchant in that city, who hired a coachman, Mike by name. He worked like a charm till the first pay day, and then when he had obtained his first installment of wages he concluded that glorious i event by an ignoble drunk, and was “promptly discharged from L’s ser vice. Now Mike was as gentle a per ! son as ever lived—so long as he had all he wanted and could get more— but otherwise lie was as treacherous and vindictive as the untutored Mo j doc. On the day following his discharge, Michael, filled with alcoholic ardor, I presented his fragrant person at Mr. I E’s house, on Calumet avenue, and i raised a commotion. He cursed and swore, and the brogue was very rich and racy. So was his language to a 1 Bridgeport ear. Mrs. L., however, became alarmed and sent for her husband, who came as rapidly as he could, bringing with him two men from the office. Finding the Mile sian here on his premises, Mr. L. de liberately ejected him. Michael was very brave, and remained around the premises until it became necessary to j call in the aid of two policemen, who i were detailed to watch the house.— Michael’s courage wilted at sight of | two substantial clubs, and he changed j his base of operations. He went to I the morning newspaper offices and caused an advertisement to be insert ed requesting any person who had ‘found a dog to bring it down to Mr. L’s residence and claim a reward. The consequence of this adroit pro- j ceeding was extremely ludicrous.— ! When Mr. L. came down to break-! fast he was encountered by ten or a dozen women, boys and men, each leading by a string one or more yel low dogs. He remonstrated against the introduction of yellow dogs to his household, but “sure an’ it was in the papers,” and similar explanations, was all the satisfaction he could ob tain. As he drove away the first batch more came in, until thirty or more Celts, with three times that number of yellow dogs, had been driven away. As it became apparent to the find ers of yellow dogs that Mr. L. was the victim of a practical joke, they grew boisterous and derisive, and the unfortunate merchant was compelled to go down to his office without breakfast, determined hereafter that the words “German or Scandinavia preferred” should be his motto in hir ing a coachman. But his troubles were not yet at an end. The loss of his breakfast brought him home hun gry to lunch. On nearing his house, the first thing that met his astonish ed gaze was an enormous pile of shav ings, and a few feet off a gigantic load of straw. The neighbors looked at him in blank surprise. They suppos ed he had suddenly gone crazy and was preparing for a grand conflagra tion ; or, perhaps, had forever fore sworn feather beds and would hence forth sleep in clean shavings and fresh straw. His angry look confirmed the pop ular supposition, and poor Mr. L. was immediately booked for Jack sonville. His temper did not im prove at the sight of twelve dozen live ducks flopping noisily about the yard and quacking consternation at their ridiculous predicament. He walked hurriedly to the house, and at the basement door found a man insisting on leaving forty pounds of codfish at the door, and refusing to listen to any denial of his right to do so. He ran up stairs to inquire of Mrs. L. what new streak of insanity had seized the when he was confronted with the question, “What in the name of common sense possess ed you to send all these people here?” A peal of laughter explained the sit uation. It was Mike’s doings. He had been round to all Mr. L’s trades men and ordered them to send round goods, &c., of which, the ducks, straw, shavings, and codfish were but the first installments. He had also called on every employment office in the city, and left an order for two men and two women to call immedi ately at Air. L’s house, and all through the afternoon they continued to ar rive. Mr. L. thought the thing was good euougli for a practical joke, but there was such a thing as a limit even to a good thing, and applied to a law yer for advice. He told the story to the attorney, who roared with laugh ter over the dismal recital, and when asked for instructions, replied that Mr. L. could lawfully shoot Mike if he ventured on his premises, but ad vised him to hire the rascal over again. MR. BEECHER ON SOUTH CAR OLINA. In his sermon last Sunday evening, enforcing the idea that men might he heroic, even in a bad cause, Rev. H. W. Beecher said : He did not know on earth a more pitiable sight than South Carolina.— It was at one time the richest and proudest of the States. Inaugurated those ideas which led to the disaster of war and the cleansing of the conti nent. The people of South Carolina had risked and sacrificed everything for their princples. They had seen their children laid in the grave and their households reduced to beggary, and yet, in the plentitude of their sorrow, they would take back no particle of their faith in the cause- Though in a bad cause, they showed a heroism it would be well to patera and admire. “Look here, Dixie, you know a thing or two. Doesn’t you think, from the eloudification of de atmos phere, dat we’ll hab rain to-day?” “Well, I declare, Sanford, I doesn’t zackly understand astronometry, but I does think it look very umnfbus.” “Dat’s jest dis chiles opinion, but I didn’t hab de larnology to ’spress it. I’s nebber studied skyology.” The young man who proposed to the young lady of his choice the oth er night and was rejected, gave notice that he would move for a reconsider ation at their next regular meeting. Sawdust pills, says an old physi cian, will effectually cure many of the diseases of which mankind is af flicted, if every patient would make his own sawdust. Farm, Garden and HonseMi HOW TO SET OUT A STRAW BERRY BED. Editor Southern Cultivator.— At the North in September and later at the South, fork up a well manured piece of garden ground that you have kept clea -of weeds by a hoed crop of Sweet corn, etc., rake it well and set young plants from your old bed in rows 2 feet a part, and one foot a part in the row; if the soil needs manure rake in hen dung, or manure that is free from the seeds of weeds; cover the plants with forest leaves before hard freezing begins. Early in the spring, rake off the leaves and give the plants a light hoeing, and this is all the hoeing they should ever re ceive. They will bear some next season, and profusely the next with a little hand weeding; the bed will continue to bear well two or three years longer until the plants cover the ground like a mat, when anew bed should be made from the young est plants.—When after the first sea son weeds begin to grow, pull out some and let the rest go; as hoeing them out not only cuts the runners but is sure to lessen the bearing of the crop, as strange as may seem. Straw berries are the only plants that do better without hoeing than with. If Strawberries are set out in the spring they will need a light hoeing in early summer, and will begin to bear well the next June. Every farmer or villager should have both an old and young Strawberry bed, they require very little labor to make them, and next to none to keep them fruitful for three or four years, and they are the earliest and best flavored fruit of the season. No greater, or more re freshing tea table luxury can be had than Strawberries sprinkled with a very little spgar. S. WILLIAMS. Waterloo , New York- DOMESTIC RECEIPTS. Breakeast Rolls.— Two pounds of flour; one quarter of a pound of butter; three Irish potatoes; one gill of good yeast, and a little salt. Let them rise all night. Hotcii Potcii. —Take any cold meat; chop or slice fine, season with salt and peper, or sage if liked ; add to this half as much stale bread, or potatoes that have beeu boiled; stir them well together, and inclose it in a crust, as for chicken pie. Bake one half hour. Cheap Cake. —One tablespoonful of butter ; one egg; one cup of sugar; onQ-half cup of buttermilk ; one-half teaspoon of soda, and flour enough to make a batter as for pound cake. Flavor with lemon. Eat while warm, with wine sauce; it makes very good dessert. Boiled Batter Pudding.— Two cups of milk ; four eggs; stir in flour until a stiff batter ; a tittle salt. Let it boil nearly two hours. Dried Beef. —Slice dried beef very thin ; put it into a frying pan with water sufficient to eook it ten der ; add new milk with a small bit of butter; let the milk come to a boil; stir in a well-beaten egg, and a little flour previously wet with cold milk, and let it bcil long enough to cook the flour. This a simple break fast dish. VEGETABLE ENEMIES. To destroy bugs on squash and cu cumber vines, dissolve tablespoonful of saltpetre in a pailful of water, put one pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not spread much, and the thing is done. Use more saltpetre if you can afford it—it is good for vegetable but death lo animal life. The bugs burrow in the earth at night and fail to rise in the morning. It is also good to kill the “grub” in peach tree—only use twice as much, say a quart or two to each tree. There was not a yellow or blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to which it was applied last sea son. No danger of killing any vege table with it—a concentrated solution applied to beans make them grow wonderfully. A GOOD WHITEWASH. There are several receipts for mak ing whitewash, but we know none better than the following: Put half a bushel of lime in a clean, water tight cask. Pour boiling water on it until it is slaked, stirring continually. When thoroughly slaked, dissolve it in water, and add tvVo pounds of sul phate of zinc and one of salt, mixing all these ingredients well together. By adding two or three pounds of yellow ochre, a nice cream color will be produced. For lead color, a sim ilar quantity of lampblack ; for stone color, four pounds of American um ber and two of lampblack ; crude pe troleum and yellow ochre or umber will make a good mixture to stain pine timber. THE MELON PATCH. If the water and muskmelons have been properly planted they will soon begin to form fruit. Leave only three plants in a hill, and do not al low one plant to mature more than two melons. Rub off all others. Those that are left will be worth the entire lot had they been left to ripen. Nev er move the vines when they are worked. If the ground was properly prepared, after the vines begin to run they need no further hoeing. TO ALLAY THE THIRST OF FE VER. All do not know that lemons sprink led with loaf sugar almost completely allay feverish thirst.—They are inval uable in the sick room. Invalids af fected with feverishness can safely consume two or three lemons a day, A lemon or two thus taken at tea time is recommended as an entire substitute for the ordinary supper of summer, and will often induce a com fortable sleep through the night, and give a good appetite for breakfast. THE STRAWBERRY BED. Keep down all grass and weeds. Cut offal! runners as they make their appearance. If you want fruit you cannot have runners. Water abun dantly in dry weather. If you are too lazy to take this trouble, you must he content to do without strawberries; but if you are willing to take it, you can secure a supply during the entire summer.
