A SION-BOA BIX
1 will paint you a sigh, rum-seller,
And hang it above your door;
A truer and a better sign-board
Titan ever you bad before.
I will paint w ith the skill of a master,
And many shall pause to see
This wonderful piece of painting,
Ho like the realty.
I will paint yourself, rum-seller,
As you wait for that fair young boy,
Just in the morn of manhood,
A m ither’s pride and joy.
llr has no thought ot stopping,
But you greet him with a smile,
And you seem so blithe and friendly
That he pauses to dual awhile.
1 will paint yon again, rum-seller,
i will paint you as you stand,
With a loam in g glass of ttqnor
Holding in either hand,
lie wavers, but you urge him ;
“Drink ! pledge me just this one!”
And he lifts the glass and drains it,
And the hellish work is done.
Ami the next I will paint a drunkard ;
Only a year has flown,
Hut into this loathsome creature
This lair young hoy has gtuwn.
The work was quick and rapid;
i will paint him as he lies
In a torpid drunken stupor,
Under the wintry skies.
I will paint the form of the mother
As blie kneels at her darling’s side—
Her beautiful boy that was dourer
Thun all the world beside.
I will paint the shape of a collin
Labelled with the one word “Lost!”
l will paint all this, rum-seller,
And paiut it free of cost.
The sin and the shame and the sorrow,
The crime and want and woe,
That is born there in your rum-shop,
No lumd can paint,you know;
But I’ll paint you a sign, rurusclier,
And many shall pause to view
This wonderful, swinging sign-board,
So terribly, fearfully true.
THE GOSPEL OF LABOR.
MY MARGARET J. PUKSTOX.
( What (he South Says to Her Children.)
I have smoothed from my forehead its sadness;
‘Tin over! Thank Heaven therefor!
1 would hide now with garments of gladness
The sackcloth and ashes of war.
Not a word of the past! It has perished,
(June down in its beauty and bloom ;
l et because it so proudly was cherished,
IShull we sigh out our years at its tomb ?
By the duty and honor undaunted,
Still steadiest and stern as can be !
By the laurels a Jackson has planted,
By the hopes that we buried with Tec -
Let us wrest from the future the guerdons
That no resolute purpose belong:
Let us lling from our spirits their burifcns,
And quit us like men and be strong!
1 bring you, compatriots, brothers,
(As largess you dare not disdain,
Like Nature’s, that bountiful mother)
Savannahs us smooth as the main.
My valleys shall whiten nil over
With snow never horn of the cold,
And grain like a Midas shall cover
Every slope that it touches with gold,
The clink of the artisan’s hummer
Hindi scare from the forest its glooms,
In the brake shall the water-fowls’ clamor
Be drowned by the clash of the looms.
Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers!
The dream ye arc dreaming deceives ;
(in forth to the field with the reapers,
And garner the prodigal sheaves.
With flocks gladden meadow and mountain,
With tinkling herds speckle each hill,
And blend with the splash of the fountain,
The rumble and roar of the mill.
Brave hearts that have wielded the sabre,
Staunch spirits that stood by the gun,
Take heed to the Gospel of Labor;
The olcl dispensation is done!
i’lit hands to the plow of endeavor,
Plant foot to the deep-furrowed track ;
Set face to the future, and never
One wavering moment look back.
For none who despairing centre
Their thoughts on the By-gone and the ban
The Present are fitted to enter
The On-coming Kingdom of man,
LADIES' PRETTY FEET-AS SEEN
BY POETS.
Poets in every time have lavished praises on
the “human toot divine.” Homer calls Thetis
“the silver-footed queen.” Paris, iu making
choice of the many beautiful virgins brought
before him:
“Their gait- he marked as gracefully they
moved,
And round their feet his eyes sagacious
roved.”
Ben Johnson describes a lover, whose devo
tion to his mistress was so great that he
’’would adore the shoe,
And slipper was left oil', and kiss it, too.”
Aud again:
“And where she went the flowers took thickest
root
As she had sowed them with her odorous foot.”
The following sentiment is from an old vol
ume of anonymous poems:
“How her feet tempt; how soil aud light she
treads,
Fearing to wake the flowers trom their beds;
Yet from their sweet green pillows everwvhere
They start and gaze about to see my fair.
Look how that pretty, modest columbine
Hangs down its head to view those feet of
thine 1
See the foml motion of the strawberries,
Creeping on earth to go along with thee ;
The lovely violet makes after, too,
Unwilling yet, my dear, to part with you.
The knot-grass and the daisies eateh thy toes,
To kiss my fair one’s feet before she goes.”
“Do not fear to put thy feet naked in the river,
sweet;
Think not newt, nor leach, nor toad,
Will bite the foot where thou hast trode.”
—(Wilson’s Cheerful Ayers.
Herrick pays the following delicate compli
ment to Mrs. Southward:
“Her pretty feet,
Like smiles, did creep,
A little out, and then,
As if they started at bo-peep,
Did soon draw in again.”
The following is also very beautiful from Sir
John Suckling’s “Ballad of the Wedding:”
“Her feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out,
As if they feared the light;
But, oh, she dances such a way,
No suu upon au Easter Day
Is half so tine a sight!”
Byron also exquisitely describes the anima
tion of the character as shown iu the movement
of the feet:
“Katinka was a Georgian, white aud red,
With great blue eyes, a lovely hand aud arm,
And feet so small they scarce seemed made to
tread,
But rather skim the earth.”
A gentleman took the following
telegram to a telegraph office: “1
annouuce with grief the death of Un
de James. Come quickly to read
his will. I believe we are his heirs—
John Black.” The clerk having
counted the words, said: “There are
two words too many, sir.” “All
right cut out ‘with grief.’ ”
“OUR COUNTRY.”
HOW AMERICA PLUNDERS AMERI
CANS.
Ex-Governor Donnelly, of Minne
sota, recently delivered a vigorous
address before a “grange” of hus
bandmen at Hastings. He told them
truths which ought to be known and
understood of till men who are going
daily lower on the downhill side of
prosperity, as the victims of laws
made to enrich and “protect” pirates
i stud piracy. Jle read a paper, signed
by the principal merchants in Hast
ings, in which they state that “the
i amount of purchases made by farm
ers has fallen off during the iast live
years one-third to one-half; that is to
say, the farmers are evidently econo
mizing in every way, making small
er bills, and buying only the necessa
! ri(>s of life.” This, of course, is one
of the proofs and consequences of
I steadily declining prosperity. What
!is the cause of it? The speaker said,
I with no Jess truth than force, “ Un
just lutes have driven the farmers of I
the whole country to the wall, and i
diminished their means of existence !
one-third or one-half. Th is, of course, |
signifies a shrinkage ml' the entire
business of the country to the same
extent. The laws of the country, and
the monopoly power they create and j
‘protect,’ liave been bent to impover-;
isii the people, and now they begin
to feel that they liave ‘killed the
goose that laid the golden egg.’ ”
When will our farmers begin to
consider the operation of these new
slave laws? Here are a few signifi
cant facts:
“A sewing-machine casts for the
work and material >l2. We pay S7O
for it. The same machines are ex
ported to Europe and sold for $32, af
ter paying freight across the Atlantic.
I found in the Belfast News of
Dec. 4, 1872, the advertisement of the
‘Singer’ sewing-machine for £0 10s,
about $32 50 of our money. We pay
the difference of nearly S4O, under
our patent laws, for being the most
patient and gullible fools that ever
pretended to a capacity for self-gov
ernment.
“McCormick gave evidence in a
lawsuit recently that his reapers cost
SSO to manufacture. We pay nearly
8200 for them.
“The threshing-machines, for which
we pay 8700, could, I am informed,
be built for SIOO. And so of all other
implements.”
In part, this is the effect of our un
just patent laws; in part, it is the ef
fect of the purchasing power of wealth
amassed by means of those laws up
on venal Congressmen ; and, in part,
it is the effect of that robber-device
called a protective tariff, which binds
men hand and foot in this “land of
liberty” in the power of the protected
monopolist. The Englishman has
free trade; ho, therefore, can buy an
American-made sewing machine for
$32, for which the American, living
next door to the “protected” manu
facturer, must pay more than double
that SUUI. \\ hat in to hinder the
American from ordering Ids Ameri
can-made sewing-machine from Bel
fast, and after paying freight on it
twice across the Atlantic ocean, get
ting it for one-half the price which he
would be compelled to pay to his
neighbor, the manufacturer? Why
should American laws thus place
American citizens at a disadvantage
to Her Majesty’s subjects in an Amer
ican market? Who can say there is
justice in such laws to enslave Amer
icans in their own country?
So, too, of reaping machines. An
Illinois farmer could send to Eng
land, buy a McCormick reaper, and
have it shipped across the Atlantic
and half-way across the continent to
his farm, for half the money which
he must pay to Boss MeCormic for
the same machine—-but for what?
Why, but for the blessed fact that
our Great Father at Washington
deems it necessary to “protect” poor,
struggling, poverty-stricken Boss Mc-
Cormick.
Such are the artificial profits which
the “protected” monopolist enjoys
under the paternal care of our Great
Father. Where are the farmer’s arti
ficial profits? His produce is as low
as before the war, while every thing
fie buys and every expense that he
must meet are at war prices, thanks
to the blessed “protective system!”
Says an lowa paper:
A farmer would cheerfully sell his
pork at $2 75 or $3 per hundred, if
cotton and woolen goods, salt and
other articles which he buys were at
proportionate .rates; but they are not.
So a farmer comes to town and puts
two loads of potatoes on his feet, in
the shape of his winter boots. If he
stays all night he will eat a load of
oats. Ilis wife wears five acres of
wheat, and the children each ten
acres of corn, and are not very warm
ly clad then. For an overcoat he
wears a four-year-old steer, and if he
sport a Sunday suit it is in the shape
of at least twenty head of fat hogs.
And on top of that his farm wears a
mortgage that is worse than hard pan
to the soil, and the annual tax rots
into his roW worse than rain.”
Another urban journal says:
“In driving through this country
we see many farms which are unoc
cupied, uncultivated, and apparently
going to ruin ; many others occupied
by tenants whose general squalidness
indicates a close scramble with the
necessity of existence, some of them
occupying houses which are even un
fit for the shelter of cattle during the
storms of winter. If you inquire
who owns this farm, you will be an
swered ; such a man did own it, but
he has gone out West. When he
came to this country from the East
he had sufficient money to buy and
almost stock his farm; but he either
bought a machine, or borrowed a lit
tle money to buy a span of horses.
All he could make from his farm
would not pay the interest on the
sum borrowed and keep his family
also.”
All this is the natural fruit of that
system of spoliation and robbery
which idiots and rascals style “pro- ;
tection to home industry!” A sys
which forcibly excludes *us from the
markets of the world; fences us in,
hinds in slavish chains to a greedy
master, who skins us to the very
bone.
“The men of 177 G rose up against
Euglarul rather than longer remain
the wretched victims of her ‘naviga
tion laws,’ whose sole object, in twen
ty-two separate acts, was to monopo
lize the trade and commerce of the
colonies. We suffer tenfold greater
wrongs than the colonies ever endur
ed from a precisely similar system of
monopoly ; we have the remedy, by
peaceable revolution at the ballot
box, in our own hands, but we seem
to lack both the intelligence and the
courage to use it.”
SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 11), 1873.
; THE FUNNY MAN OF THE
DANBURY NEWS.
A correspondent writing from Dan
bury gives the following description
| of Mr. Bailey, the man who has,
through the medium ofa small news
paper, made much character as a
humorist in a few years:
Danbury is a thriving manufactur
ing town of about 8,00 inhabitants,
largely given over to the apprecia
tion of jokes and the manufacture
jof hats. We believe it lias been en
i gaged in hat manufacture since—
well, since it was destroyed by the
British in 1777.
Early evening found us creeping
up a dark stairway to the composing
j and printing office of the News.
In one large room are the cases
and presses, and fenced off by itself
in one corner is the 7xll plain deal
board sanctum, in which we found
the editor opening his mail.
Coming along in the cars to Dan
bury, we had, in our idleness, won
dered-if any of our fellow-travellers
were the editor. A gentleman care
fully dressed and adorned with spec
tacles was finally selected as the pas
sable humorist. We had made up
our mind to a middle-aged man in
broadcloth and spectacles, and now
we found a fuil-faced young man
dressed in coarse clothes, with scru
pulously white linen, and no necktie.
It may interest our lady readers to
know that Mr. Bailey, is remarka
ble fine-looking; he is evenfeatured
with black, flowing hair, and clear
dark complexion, and has an eye
that shows that, like John Gilpin,
“he has a pleasant wit.”
As regards other personal matters,
they are well epitomized in the fol
lowing answer to a correspondent,
lately published in the News:
Holbrook , J lass. —The editor of
this paper does not lecture: he is
married. Mr. Bailey, has had a
great many officers of pesitions upon
metropolitan dailies but has refused
them all; resolved to stay in Danbu
ry, probably from an unrecognized
felling thiit his is a “mind not to be
changed by place.”
In conversation we found him en
gaging and overflowing with humor.
A stenographer could make a rich ar
ticle sitting by and talking with him.
Many were the good things he said
as the evening was passed with him,
and we shall long remember our
pleasant interview with “this most
genial genius,” who with no adver
tisement save that afforded by a >
country newspaper with an original
circulation of a few hundred copies, i
nasjbecome one of the most quoted j
writers in the country, and bids fair
as a late critic says, “to take his place |
at the head of American humor
ists.”
THE KIND HORSE.
A friend of mine told me a story
a little while ago, which interested
me so much that J want to tell it to
all my little friends. He owned a
fine horse, which was very fond of
him, and would come from the pas
ture at the sound of his voice, and
follow him about like a dog. Well,
at one time the horse became lame,
and was obliged to stay in his stable
and not to be used for many weeks;
and it was during this time that Mr.
C. became interested to see how much
the horse knew, and how kind his
sympathies were. An old cat had
made her nest upon the scaffold just
above the horse’s manger, and had
laid there her little family of five kit
tens, to bring them up under good
tuition, I suppose. She and the horse
got on nicely for some days. She
jumped down into his manger, and
went off for food and then came back
and leaped up to her kittens again.
But one morning she rolled off into
the manger with her foot bleeding,
and badly hurt, so that she could
scarcely crawl; but she managed td
leap away on three feet and get her
breakfast; but when sho came back
she was entirely unable to get up to
her kittens ; and what do you think
she did ? She lay down at the hor
se’s feet, and mewed and looked up
several times, till at last pony, seem
ing to understand her wants, reach
ed, down, took the cat in her teeth
and tossed her up on the scaffold to
j her kittens, who 1 doubt not, were
! glad enough to see her. This, Mr.
! 0. told me, lie saw repeated morning
after morning. Kit would roll off
into the manger, go and get her
breakfast, come back, and be tossed
up to her family by the kind horse,
who must have understood cat lan
guage, and been willing to listen to
it.
OLD TIME AXIOMS.
The following from an old scrap
book. We reproduce them to show
to the present generation what quaint
ideas were promulgated by the
teachers of our fathers and mothers
of the olden time. An independent
man is one who blacks his own boots
who can live without tobacco and
whisky, earns at least a penny more
than he spends, and who can upon
a pinch, shave himself with brown
soap and cold water without a mir
ror. A great man is one who can
lead his children to obey him when
out of sight. A hospitable man is
never ashamed of liis dinner when a
friend unexpectedly drops in to dine
with him. A good wife exhibits
her love for her husband by seeking
to promote his welfare, and by ad
mistering to his comforts. A sensi
ble wife looks, for her enjoyment at
home—a silly one, abroad. A wise
girl would win a lover by practicing
those virtues which secure admira
tion when personal charms have fa
ded.— A simple girl endeavors to re
commend herself by the exhibition
of frivolous accomplishment, and by
a mawkish sentiment which has a
little to do with a true heart as has
the gaudy dress she wears. A good
girl always respects herself, and is
thus sure to be respected by others.
CURIOUS DEVOTION.
A singular affairoccured at Mfidi
son, Wisconsin. A married man dis
appeared from public view six
months ago, and his wife, when
questioned, gave such contradictory
replies that it came to be generally
believed that she had murdered him.
She was arrested on Tuesday, and
officers went to sarch her house.
When they broke open the door they
were met and savagely attacked by
the man himself, who was a raving
maniac. The wife who had spent
these six months alone with her
maniac husband, for the sake of earn
ing for his wants, has herself gone
mad since her arrest.

POWER OF THE PRESS.
Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco,
speaks truthfully as follows: “The
newspaper is more feared to-day in
Congressional halls and the high pla
ces of corrupt on and villiany than
laws and courts, the stings of con
science, and the thunders of Divine
wrath. God is a great way off, and
thejudgment waits; but the übiq
uitous reporter thrusts his sharp gaze
into all overt and hidden schemes,
an unering detective. The pestilent
spy will tell all he sees, tell it on the
house tops, print for a nation of
readers. Good! Give us more of
this! Long Jive the reporter! Let
every public man who meditates a
little piece of gainful fraud under
stand he is ‘shadowed’ at eacli step
by this unbrought espionage, and
thought he may not he converted, he
will he restrained.”

TO KEEP HAMS IN SUMMER.
There are a number of modes giv
!on to keep hams through the warm
season, free from the attacks of in
setts. Some bag them and white-
I wash the bags, which is troublesome
; and somewhat expensive; some cov
er them with dry wood ashes and
pack them in barrels and cover thor
oughly with pine shavings; but we
think the best plan of all, ami cer
tainly the least expensive with all
who have a smokehouse, and every
farmer should have a good one, is to
keep the hams hungup in thesinoke
-1 louse, which should be kept perfect
ly dark at all times. We have eaten
halns so kept two years old, and they
were among the best we ever tasted.
Uniform darkness is a complete pro
tection against the attack of insects.
Col. Felton, of Macon county, some
years ago, told us his method, which
L efficacious and certain. The Colo
nel, when he puts aside his new r sup
ply of hams for the summer, always
lias a large number of old ones to sell,
which are perfectly sound and good.
Ham is effectually defended from
skippers when the fly cannot punc
ture it and deposit her larvae. When,
therefore, the ham hits been properly
cured and before the fly season begins,
it is put in an osnaburg bag and fill- j
ed in between the ham and bag with
shucks or sweet hay. The bag is
then securely tied and hung up by
the string, and Mrs. Fly is shut out
effectually—for then she cannot reach
the ham to puncture it. Now, with
out this provision, unless the cloth
coating of the ham is rendered per
fectly imprevious to the attacks of the
fly or to the exuding grease from the
ham enclosed, it affords very little
protection. If the ham rests upon
the bag and the latter becomes satu
rated in any part with grease, that
greasy cloth affords at once a place of
deposit for the eggs of the fly where
they will readily hatch, and the skip
pers will very soon infect the entire
ham. But this is impossible when a
good mat of dry shucks or hay inter
venes between the sack and ham, un
less the latter is kept in a very warm
place. 001. Felton says he never has
found skippers in a ham protected in
this way. He does not whitewash
the sacks, and the same sack may be
used year after year untiMt is worn :
out in the service.
“The farmers’ movement has para
lyzed the Republican party in Illi
nois, and the paralysis promises to
endure for some time. The move
ment is only in its infancy. Its in
terference in the election of Judges
is not by any means thorough. In
many counties the organization is in
complete, and it was no part of the
programme in the first instance to in
terfere with the Courts. Farmers’
nominations of candidates forjudges

has further and moredistmcive work
before it.
“In November next there is to be
elected in every county in this State
a corps of county officers, including
treasurers, county clerks, surveyors,
etc., which have heretofore been re
garded as the exclusive spoils of par
ty managers. The farmers’ organi
zation will probably nominate their
own men, and elect them to all these
places, except in the larger cities.
A year later, in 1874, they will have
their organizations so complete in
every township that they w T iil take
the election of the twenty-six State
Senators and the one hundred and
fifty-three Representatives in the
Legislature into their own hands.”
Syrup of Coffee. —This prepara
tiou is of great use to those who have
long journeys to make. Take \
pound of the best ground coffee, put
into a saucepan containing three pints
of water and boil it down to one pint.
Cool the liquor, put it into another
saucepan well scoured and boil it
again. As it boils add white sugar
enough to make it the consistency of
syrup. Take it from the fire and
when it is cold put it into a bottle
and seal. When traveling, if you
wish for a cup of good coffee, you
have only to put two teaspoonfuls of
the syrup into an ordinary coffee-pot
and till it with boiling water. Add
milk to taste if you can get it.

well beaten, and stir into a pint of
milk, a littfe salt, a pint of butter,

Then pour all into the flour, so as
not to have it lumpy. Stir up thor
oughly, and grease the cups into
which the batter is poured, tilling
them two-thirds full. Eat with
sauce.
Sweet Pickles, by some consid
ered superior to the old-fashioned ap
plesauce, are made by partly baking
sweet apples, and then saturating
them in a {tickle of vinegar, sugar,
and spices. This is easier to make
than apple-sauce, which must be
smothered in boiled cider, and is full
as healthful as the unripe cucumber.
Craker Pies.— Take six soda
crackers; break them into a dish,
and pour over them two cups of cold
water. Let them stand until they
can be reduced to a pulp. Add one
and one-half cup of sugar, two tea
spoons of tartaric acid, and flavor to
taste with lemon. This is sufficient
for two pies.
Hominy Pudding.— Prepare as
for batter-cakes; add one egg for
each pint, some whole cinnamon, su
gar to suit taste, and a few raisins;
bake like ricepudding. A little but
ter or chopped suet may be added.
Serve hot or cold, with or without
sauce.
Pop-ovEßS.—Pour eggs, four cups
of flour, four cups of milk, a small
piece of melted butter, and a little
salt. These may be baked in gem
tins or small cups, which should be
previously heated. Bake in a hot
oven.
How to Make a Filter.— Place
on the perforated bottom of a box a
piece of flannel, and on this some
coarsely-powdered charcoal, then
some coarse river-sand, and cover the
whole with sandstone brokeu in piec
es.
Blackberry Cordial.— Three
pounds of ripe blackberries and one
pound of white sugar ; let them stand
twelve hours; press the juice and
strain it. Add one-third of good
spirits, and to every qurrtateaspoon
fui of finely powdered allspice. It is
at once tit for use.
