PUBLISHED WEEKLY. YOL. 14. WIIY AUNT SALLIE NEVER MARRIED. “Now, Aunt Sallic, do please tell us why you never got married. You i cineTnher you said you was once en *'afifed to a minister, and promised us v„ii would tell us about it sometime. )\v, Auntie, please tell us.” “Well, you see. when I was about ventoen years old, l was living in in Utica, in the State of New York. Though I say it myself, I was quite xxl-looking girl then, and had voral beaux. The one that took my fancy was a minister, a very promising young man, and remark ably shady and pious. He thought :: good dea l of me, and I kind of took a fancy to Idm, and things went on until we were engaged. One even ing lie came to me and put his arms around me, and kind of hugged me, when 1 got excited and some frustra ted. It was a long time ago, and I don’t know Out what I might have bugged back a little. I was like any other girl, and pretty soon I pretend ed to be mad about it, and pushed him away', though I wasn’t mad one hit. You must know the house where 1 lived was on one of the back streets of the town. There were glass doors in the parlor which opened over the street. These doors were drawn to. I stepped back a little from him, and when he came up dose 1 pushed him back again. 1 pushed him harder than i intended to, and dont you think, girls, the poor fellow lost his balance, and fell through one of the doors into the street.” “Oh Aunty! was he killed?” “No. He fell head first, and as he was going I caught him by the legs of trousers. I held on for a minute, and tried to pull him back, but his suspenders gaye way, and he fell dear out of his pantaloons into a par ed of young ladies and gentlemen on the street.” “Oh ! Aunty ! Lordy! Lordy! “There, that’s right. Squall and •■igglc as much as you want to. Girls that can’t hcara thing like that with out tearing around t tie room and he he-ing in such a way, don’t know enough to come in out of a rain. A nice time the man will have that marries one of you, won’t he? Catch me telling one of you anything again will you?” “But Aunt Ha Hie, what ever be came of him? Did you ever see him again ?” “No. The moment hq touched the ground in* got up and 101 l that place in a terrible hurry. 1 tell you it was a sight to he remembered. How he did run ! He went West, and 1 be lieve he is preaching out in lliinios. But lie never married, lie was very modest, and I suppose he was badly frightened that time, and never dar tdto trust himself near a woman again. That, girls, is she reason why I never married. I felt very bad tor a long time, for he was u real good man, and 1 have often thought we would have been very happy if his suspenders hadn’t given away.” “LIVE IT DOWN.” it may he a strange assertion that silence is sometimes more eloquent than speech; but it is true, as many a knave knows who has knaved for years at the good character of others with detraction’s tooth. The rat tlmt roots through rotten rafters works to some purpose when it cuts its passage through the Hour bags ; but the rat that would persistently try to burrow a hole through an iron door, such a rat, in the phrase of the burnt cork Dutchman, we should say “wass creazy, share.” As yet we have heard of such foolish members among the inferior rodents ; but the superior rodents, or two-legged rats, oelonging to the tribe yclept Bum mists. these are the craziest rats out side of Bedlam. They will gnaw, and gnaw, knowing well that their kuavving is useless; and what rouses their wrath most of all is to see the object of the “gnaw” perfectly silent. This thing of gnawing at the charac acter of others for the purpose of in juring is the very acmeot meanness ; but the sure safeguard is silence. Let the detraction of of slander take its course; live it down, and you will “heap coals of tire upon vour enemy’s head;” he will wince •more under your silent contempt than if you put a poinard through his wretched carcass. Public men, whose good name is common property, must sometimes refute a slander pub-, lioly, but as far as the generality of; persons is concerned, an upright life is the best refutation the lying slan derer can get. Men will pause to ad mire the virtue of a silent man; whereas, getting in a flurry over the matter will avail nothing, and peo ple have misgivings they otherwise might think of entertaining. When slander stings, the world will admire you all the more when you “live it down.” But the pulling slanderer will wish you a thousand things uu-' said; the tables will be turned on him, the finger of scorn will be point ed at him, or, worse still, his former friends will freeze him with their cold reserve, and he will hide his head with shame, that is, if a spark is left in hie unmanly breast. This is not drawing on the imagination, nor coloring the matter too highly. Everybody knows and ft els instinct ively the malice that underlies de traction. The detractor himself will despise a man who blackmails or be lies another; and yet he will mani fest this devilish propensity in him self, and destroy a neighbor’s good name in the most polished language imaginable.—[lrish American. ANTI-MONOPOLY. WESTERN UPRISING AGAINST COR RUPTION. Des Moines, lowa, July 14. At an anti-monopoly convention held Saturday, a full couuty ticket was nominated, and delegates elect ed to the State convention. Rerolu tions were passed declaring that no support would be given to any man for office who is not in full sympathy with producers and manufacturers, and opposed to monopolies; also de claring the doctrine of vested rights of railroad corporations, which ex empts them from legislative control, has no place in jurisprudence, a free people demanding reform in the mat ter of salaries of public officers, de nouncing Back pay salary grabs, and the President for signing the law; demanding political reform, strict economy in State and county afiairs. The resolutions also invite all per sons to participate in the movement, STANDARD AND EXPRESS. A RELIGIOUS CARD PLAYER. We have heard lately of packs of cards being used by young men of devout associations, each card repre senting a character from the Bible.— The following droll illustration, per haps, gives the source from whence this novel amusement took its origin: During the war there was a compa ny of soldiers attending church on a Sabbath morning. Soon after being seated, one of them, named Richard Lee. took from his pocket a pack of cards, and, having folded his over coat across his knees, he commenced displaying his cards before him, when the sargent of the company requested him to put them away. lie refused to obey him and the sexton of the church was called on, who arrested him and took him to the nearest magistrate. The magistrate said to him: Well, sir, you are arrested for play ing cards during divine service.— What have you to say? Much, I hope, sir, if your honor will allow me to state. 1 have been on the march for six weeks, and have lost my Bible, and since then have substituted my cards. Explain yourself, sir, replied the magistrate. If your honor will allow me the use of your desk I will; and, taking his cards, he spread thorn out, saying: When 1 see the ace it reminds me of but one Cod. When I see the duce, that is Father and Son. The tray is Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The four spot is the four Evangelists that were sent to preach, Mathew, Luke, Mark and John. The five spot is the five Virgins; there were ten, but five were shut out. The six spot is the six days that God made the world. The seven is the seventh day lie rest ed and hallowed it. The eight is the eight righteous people whom he sav ed during the Hood—Noah and his wife, bis three sons and their wives; The nine is the nine lepers who were cleansed. There were ten, but one never returned thanks. The ten is the Ten Commandments—that thou shall obey, &c. The queen is the Queen of Sheba. She was as wise a woman as King Solomon was a man. She sent forty boys and forty girls, all dressed in girls’ attire, to the j King, to tell tho boys from the girls. I The King sent them to wash, when the boys washed to their wrists, and the girls to their elbows—hence he told the boys from the girls. But hold on, says the inagistate, (seeming deeply interested), you have missed the Jack. Well, your honor, 1 don’t wish to otfend any one, but the greatest Jack or knave as I call it (looking around) is the sexton who brought me here. That will do, sir, that will do, re plied the magistrate, you are excus ed. Thanks; your honor, and I will ex plain to you further, that you will find fifty-two cards in the pack, which is the number of weeks in the year, and in playing them there are thir teen tricks taken, which is the num ber of weeks in a quarter. The twelve picture cards is the number of months in the year, and, if your honor has the time to play a little game, I’ll show you how to find 365 spots in the pack, a spot for each day in the year. HOW LARGE IS CALIFORNIA? When a Californian visits the East-: ern States he has the conceit taken out of him by finding how little at-1 tention is given to his State, and t what a small place it occupies rela-1 tively in the minds of those who have never seen the Pacific coast.— He can fall back at least upon his square miles and acres. It is not a State so much as an Empire, with its 188,981 square miles, or 120,917,800 acres. A recent authority makes the following showing: The combined area of tho six New England States is but 68,318 square miles, showing that California has an area almost three times as great as this division of the Republic. The area of the six Middle States — New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva nia, Delaware, Maryland and Wdfet Virginia—is 137,361 square miles, showsng that the area of California is 51,517 square miles larger than this section. The entire area of the twelve States forming the N<sw England and Mid dle States is 205,812 square miles, showing that California contains an area almost as great as the twelve States. It is 78,135 square miles lar ger than the whole of Great Britain, the latter being 110,846 square miles. It would make twenty-four States the size of Massachusetts, leaving 2,781 square miles; the area of California would make one huudred and forty five Spates as large as the State of Rhode Island. “What is the size of your farm?” said a hard-fisted New England, farm er, who had become rich on two hun dred acres, to a Californian who had gone homo on a visit. “About fif teen thousand acres,” was the reply, lie told the truth, but he lost liis rep utation for veracity, for no man liv ing in Rhode Island has yet been able to conceive of a single farm having such an immense area. —San Francis co Bulletin. AN INCIDENT. A young man went into the office of one of the largest dry goods im porting houses in New" York, and asked for a situation. He was told to come again. Going down Broad way that same afternoon, opposite tho Astor House, an old apple wo man trying to cross the street was struck by a stage, knocked down and her basket of apples sent scattering in the gutter. This.young man stop ped out from the passing crowd, helped up the old lady, put her ap ples into her basket, and went on his way, forgetting the incident. When he called again upon the importers he was asked to name his price, which was accepted immediately, and he went to w’ork. Nearly a year after ward lie was called aside one day and asked if he remembered assisting an old apple woman in Broadway to pick up a basket of apples, and, much to his surprise, learned why he ob tained a situation when more than one hundred others were desiring the same place. Young man, you little know who sees your acts of kindness. The eyes of others see and admire what they will not take the trouble to do themselves. —American Messen ger. The devil is the father of lies, but he failed tew git a patent for hiz iu venshun. and liiz Dizziness is now suffering from competishun. —Josh Billings. SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1873. [From the Xew York Methodist. THE LONGEVITY OF CLERGY MEN. The fact, so often asserted, of the longevity of clergymen has received a fresh demonsttation. Professor Tut tle, of Wabash College, Indiana, has made an examination of the ages of 2,412 ministers, whose lives are no ticed in Spragne’s Annals and other records. Their total years was 148,- 970, their average age a little over sixty-one years. Only fifty-two of the whole number died under forty. “One out of every seven of the whole number was eighty-eight years old or upward at death. Between one third and one-half of the whole were seventy years or upward at death.— Considerably more than one-half of the whole number were over sixty years of age at death. Three-fourths of the whole were over fifty years of age at death. Seven-eights" of the whole were over forty years of age at death.” As to the several churches there is a difference. The Orrthodox Congregationalist ministers show an average of sixty-five years, the Bap tists sixty-four, the Presbyterians of sixty-one, Episcopalians of fifty-nine. No conditions were more favorable to long life than those under which the ministers of New England lived in the olden time. Their settlements were often for life; their incomes, if narrow, were assured; their studies and labors were free from anxiety and vexation. The modern ministers who will best compare with them are the Wesleyans of England. The Wesleyan system provides so thor oughly and so impartially for the wants of all of its ministers that they are without serious cares. Asa con sequence, they are noted for the great age which many of them attain. This longevity is but a part of the general effect of Christianity, for Christianity as organized in civiliza tion has increased the average dura tion of human existence. Where Christian faith prevails there arc few er suicides, there is less excess, and a greater patience in bearing the ills to which flesh is heir. Clergymen are but examples of what the Christian religion will do for human life under favorable conditions. ANECDOTE OF DR. BETIIUNE. There resided in the city of 8., dur ing Dr. Bethune’s pastorate there, a man of wealth and social position, who was rather noted for his penuri ousness. He was a near neighbor of the doctor’s, and they were well ac quainted and quite familiar. This neighbor was a large man, of brusque manner, and not devoid of a rude, blunt kind of humor, and there had been repeatedly good-natured pas sages of wit between them. One morning, as Bethune stepped from his door to go down town, he saw his neighbor just ahead of him moving in the same direction. Fie quicken ed his pace and soon overtook him. As he joined him, he saluted him good-naturedly, “Good morning, Mr. good morning. llovv do you do, sir, this morning?” S. turned, saw who it was, and, with a merry twinkle in the corner of his eye, said, roughly (intending to be jocose), “What is it your busi ness how 1 do?” Bethune instantly and calmly re plied, with an air of great benevo lence, “Well, Mr. 8., I’m one of those men who take an interest in the meanest of God’s creation.” A certain professor of physiology, who believes in pure air, has a habit of asking some member .of the senior class to “please open the window just back of you to let out the remains of the last junior class.” THE BAIRN’S HYMN. Dr. Cuyler, in the S. S. Times, says: I have been reading with moistened eyes the touching story of the last hours of the great and eloquent Dr. Guthrie. He was the king of all preachers; but what a child lie was inspirit! lie loved children, even the wretchedest, and when thirty thousand people of Edinburgh thron ged to his burial, and when the great dignitaries had finished their fnneral ceremonies, two little children from his “Ragged-school” stepped forward and laid a wreath of flowers on his grave. And all the multitude melt ed into tears. Just before Guthrie died, he asked his family to sing for him. “What would you like?”* And the great orator replied, “Give me a bairn’s hymn !” So they sang for him, “There is a happy land, far, far away !” He listened to it as the pre lude of his own heaven-song. And when Guthrie reached his Father’s house, there was only one more little child in the kingdom of heaven. He sings a “bairn’s hymn” before the Throne. FUNERALS VS. PARTIES. Lippincott’s Magazine for March has the following: A southern cor respondent sends the following inci dent from real life, which illustrates the well-known negro fondness for so-called lugubrious festivity. A lady friend of mine was much beset a few days ago by her cook for permission to attend the funeral of some relative. The res angustce for bade her leaving just at that time, but, to compensate her for the depri vation, her mistress said: “Rose, I really feel sorry for you, but you shall lose nothing by staying at; home. I promise that you shall . go to the first party that is given by any of your friends, and stay all night long!” Rose, tossing her head, replied: “ Law! Miss Susan, how kin you talk like dat? You know I don’t set no vally on parties. Forty parties could not pay me for de sight of one corp!” She saw the “corp.” The frothy controversy between D. A. Hill and parson Brownlow is still going on. In his last letter Hill ; says: “Brownlow boasts that he still lives. Yes, he does drag out amiser j able existence, apparently that he may stand as a monument of the es : sects of wickedness and the maligni jty of Satan, which can thus trans ! form a human being into a hideous and ghastly wreck, jeering at Heav | en and abhorred of mankind.” Four t.oy balloons tied together were sent up in Peoria on the Fourth, I bearing the cards of the young men who started them. They landed in Macknilie, Platt county, one hun dred miles away. So says a letter j sent from the postmaster of that [ place. , JOSH BILINGS EXPERIENCE WITH LAGER BEER. I have finally come to the conclu sion that lager beer is not intoxicat ing. I have been told so by a German who said he had drank "it all night long, jnst to try the experiment, and was obliged to go home entirely so ber in the morning. I have seen this same man drink eighteen glasses, and if he was drunk he was drunk in Ger man, and nobody could understand it. It is proper enough to state that this man kept a lager beer saloon, and ! could have no object in stating what was not strictly thus. I believe him to the full extent of my ability, I never drank but three glasses oflager beer in my life, and that made my head ontwist as though it was hung on a string, but I was told that it was owing to my bile be ing out of place ; and I guess that it was so, for I never biled over wus than I did when I got hum that nite. My wife thot I was going to die, and 1 was afraid that I shouldn’t ; for it seemed that everything l had eaten in my life was cumin to the surface; and I believe that if my wife hadn’t pulled off my boots just whenshedid they would have come thundering too. Oh, how sick I wuz! 14 years ago | and I can taste it now. I never had so much experience in j so short a time. If any man should tell me that la-1 ger beer was not intoxicating, I j should believe him, but if lie should ! tell me that I wasn’t drunk that nite, I but that my stumick was out of order, i I shud ask him to state over a few I words, jest how a man felt an acted when he was set up. If I warn’t drunk that nite, I had I some of the most natural simturns ; ever a man had and kept sober. In the first place it was about 80 j rods from where I drank the lager ; beer to my house, and I wuz just two J hours on the road, and I had a hole j bursted through each one of my pantaloon neez, and didn’t have any hat, and tried to open the door by the bell-pull and hiccupped awfully and saw everything in the room try-1 ing to get around on the back side of j me, and in sitting down on a chair, 11 did not wait long enough for it to get j exactly under me when I was going round, and I set down a little too ( soon and missed the chair about 12 j inches, and couldn’t get up soon j enough to take the next one that j come along; and that ain’t awl; my wife sed I was drunk as a beast, and,! as I sed before, I began to spin up | things freely. If lager beer is not intoxicating it j used me most almighty mean, that I j know. Still I hardly think that lager beer | is intoxicating, for I have been told f so; and lam probably the only man | living who over drunk any when his j liver was not plumb, I don’t want to say ennything against a harmless temperance bever age, but if I ever drink any more, it will be with mi hands tied behind me and mi mouth, pried open. I don’t think lager beerisintoxicat ing but if I remember rite, I think it tastes to me like a glass of soap suds, that a pickle had been put tew soak in. HOW TO BE HAPPY. I will give you two or three rules which may help you to become hap pier than you would be without knowing them ; but as to being com pletely happy, that you can never be till you get to heaven. The first is: “Try your best to make others happy.” “I never was happy,” said a certain king, “till I began to take pleasure in the welfare of my people; but ever since then, in the darkest day, I have had sun shine in my heart.” My second rule is: “Be content with little.” There are many good reasons for this rule. We deserve but little, we require but little, and “better is little, with tlie fear of God, than great treasures and trouble therewith.” Two men were determined to be rich, but they set about it in differ ent ways.—The. one strove to raise up his means to his desires, while the other did his best to bring his de sires down to his means.—The result was that tho one who coveted much was always repining, while he who desired but little was always content ed. My third rule is: “Look on the sunny side of things.” Look up w ith hopeful eyes, Though all things seem forlorn; The sun that sets to night will rise, Again to-morrow morn. The skipping lamb, the singing lark, and the leaping fiish tell us that happiness is not confined to one place. God in his goodness has spread it abroad on the earth, in the air, and in the waters. Two aged women lived in the same cottage one was always fearing a storm, anti the other was always looking for sun shine. Hardly need I say which it was that wore a forbidding aspect or which it was whose face was lighten ed up with joy. President Grant and the Salary Increase.— A Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Republican says, parties who have visited Long Branch recently, and who have con versed with the President, state that he is considerably exercised over the criticisms that have been made by the public press upon the congres sional salary increase. They assert that the President will favor a repeal of the law at the next session of Con gress. Whatever Congress may do the salary of the President cannot be changed as the Constitution provides that the compensation of the Presi dent shall not be changed during his term office. The Hartford Courant says: “In 1843 a turtle, found on the farm of ‘Uncle’ Truman Sweet, was marked by James B. Shultas and sent on his travels, in 1857 he came to light again, and Mr. Shultas again mark ed both his own initials and those of Mr. Sweet on the back of the old fellow'; Wednesday he turned up again, and Mr. Shultas proposed to put another inscription on him and let him go for another thirty years’ travel, if he can survive it.” When a crowd of jay hawkers start | ed a disturbance in a Texas church, : the other day, the preacher raised up ! a shot gun and *iid: “William Delio, | sit down, or, I’ll make it painful for | you.” William sat down and was I as quiet as a lamb. The savings bank is a safe debtor. Always examine an old plug hat before you kick it. What word is always pronounced wrong? Wrong. A man that ought to be re-mem bered—A onelegged soldier. A kangaroo is a curious chap; when it’s wide awake it’s leaping. Western paper heads a description of r bride’s trouseau “Duds.” Be honest, a stove cold is better than a stove hot with stolen fuel. A Harper’s Ferry man owns a 1 whole mountain, and offers to trade | it for a shot gun. Literary men can never be sure of J having said a smart tiling unless they i see the “proof.” Bowden College, in Carroll county, has conferred the degree of LL. D. upon Hon. A. 11. Stephens. Fifty cents fora good lecture is I bettor Hian half that sum for a cir-: eus. The poverty of childhood is more ! frequently than otherwise the step ping stone to wealth. It is better to eat one meal a day and pay for it, than to eat three and have two of them charged. The larger your account with I Trust the sooner Debt will take your j business into his hands. It costs a poor man more to let j his children wander in their every- j day clothing, Babbath days, than it dose to dress them for church. A young married woman in Chica go attempted to commit suicide be cause her husband refused to take her to Saratoga. Dress neatly. A well-clothed man commands favor and respect, while one in slovenly attire can hardly bor row his neighbor’s saw horse. If you wish to personally compre hend the completes! meaning of the old adage—a fool and his money are soon parted—buy a lottery ticket. The man is always most honored who is most excellent in what he un dertakes. It is better to saw wood well, than to plead law poorly. Work harder at drilling rocks, for instance, if your employer never vis its you than if lie frequently does. He will know of your faithfulness when he pays for the daills. A New Hampshire paper speaks of the “idiots who are climbing the White Mountains to get a view of the cows pasturing in the meadows below.” A Florida paper has ascertained that a healthy aligator can eat seven negro children inside of seven hours and not display any symptoms of disquiet. The negro who was hanged at Suf folk, Virginia, the other day, remark- j ed as he was going to the gallows: “I wish dey had put it off ’till after wa termelon time.” Sidney smith ouce rebuked a swear ing visitor by saying, “Let us assume that everything and everybody are damned, and proceed with our sub ject.” A murderor at Meridian, Miss., as ked to be hung on the Fourth of Ju ly, and the judge kindly consented, as it would help along the proposed celebration. Referring to Nast’s lecturing tour next winter, the Chicago Post re marks. “Unless he goes back upon his previous efforts there is no doubt that he will be able to draw well.” A Western editor insists that he wrote the word “trousseau” plain as a pikestaff in connection with cer tain bridal presents. The printer however vulgarly put “trousers.” “What’s the U3e of trying to be honest?” asked a young man, the other day of a friend. “Oh! you ought to try it once to see,” was the reply. The girls at Long Branch want bathing-houses that run on wheels, so that they will not have to run the gauntlet befor so many eyes on com ing out of the water. Since the clergy have held prayers for the benefit of the press, the Chi cago Times suggests that editors unite in supplication for the diffu sion of intelligence among the cler gy. A Dutchman getting excited over an account of an elopement of a mar ried woman, gave his opinion thus: “If my vise runs away mit anoder man’s vise, I shake him out of his preeches, if she be my sadder, mine Got.” Wilson, the clebrated vocalTst, w r as upset in his carriage near Edinburgh. A Scotch paper, after recording the accident, said: “Wo are happy to state that he was able to appear on the following evening in three peices.” The editor of the Quincy, Fla., Journal after stating that there are twelve millions of fleas to the square acre in that place, calmly adds that “life is a mere dream.” The won der is how he can sleep, much less dream, with so many fleas around. The “cholera” men of the Chicago newspapers publish cheerful bulletins producing a most salutary effect in the agricultural distrists of Illinois, they have already been the means of saving thousands of water-melon patches from destruction. A Meadville, Pa., girl, w’ho was looking at a circus clown whirling a hat witli a stick, remarked to her young man that she “used to do that.” The young man w r as looking at a contortionist in another part of the arena who had his legs tied around his neck, and an explanation was necessary. On Sunday morning three dia mond rings were stolen from an Au gusta lady, and on Tuesday morning the door bell of the residence from which the rings w T ere carried off was rung, and upon the door being open ed the rings w r ere discovered lying upon tho door mat. No one was in sight. Grace Greenwood relates as an in stance of the extravagance of New England humor that when a young farmer’s wife made her first boy’s pants precisely as a ample before as behind, the father exclaimed, “Good ness ! he won’t know whether he’s going to school or coming home.” j Professional and Business Cards j John w. woffokd.
