FORSYTH. TUESDAY, SEPT. 21, 1875.
< apahlllUcH of mi Acre.
J. M. Smith, a market gardener of Green
Hay, fuminlies some interesting statements of
Ids experiments in high culture, lie has found
the rule invariable, not a single exception to it,
that the more he has spent in cultivating and
manuring, the greater have been the net profits
per acre. Last season he cultivated fourteen
acres, and began with a more thorough and ex
pensive cultivation than ever before. The re
salt was, that; although there was a terrific
drought, one of the dryest seasons ever known
in that region, after spending $3,986, or $384
per acre, he had a better balance than for any
previous year.
He appears to regard constant cultivation .es
pecially through drought in connection with
copious manuring, as all important. Stable
manure is the standard; with such use of su
perphosphates, plaster, lime, ashes, and other
manures as experience and good sense point
out. “ After you have learned how to spend
money to the best advantage,” he remarks, “a
larger profit may he made by laydug out S3OO
per acre than with less. After the second year
f your land does not pay all its expenses,taxes
and ten per cent, of SI,OOO per acre, there is
something wrong somewhere. 1 have some
acres of land that did not pay expenses for two
years, but for a number of years past did not
fail to pay ten per cent, on at least $2,000 per
acre. I expect my whole garden to do more
than that in a short time.”
He adds that he is now aiming at 1000 bush
els of onions per acre, then a crop of carrots or
turnips, or ;'OO bushels of early potatoes; or, if
strawberries, 12,800 quarts, or 400 bushels per
acre. This amount of strawberries is not whol
ly impossible, as we have known, under our
own observation, this rate on two-thirds of an
acre. lAm Plmighmun.
Swelal caniics
The American farmer, in all his planning,
an 1 all his building, has never made provision
Ini life. He has only considered the means of
getting a living. Everything outside of this —
everything relating to society and culture—
has been steadily ignored. He gives his chil
dren the udvantagesof schools,not recognizing
the fact that these very advantages call into
life anew sort of social wants. A blight,well
educated family, in a lonely farm house, is very
different material from a family brought up in
ignorance. An American farmer’s children,
who have had a few terms at a neighboring
academy, resemble in no degree the children of
the European peasant. They come home with
new ideas and new wants, and if there is no
provision made for these new wants, and they
find no opportunities for their satisfaction,they
will be ready on reaching their majority, to fly
the farm and seek the city.
If the American farmer wishes to keep his
children near him, he must learn the difference
between living and getting a living.. we
mistake him and his culture altogemi .*~.t' he
does not stop over this statement and wonder
what we mean by it. To get a living, to make
money, to become “ forehanded” —this is the
only pursuit that has any recognition under the
paternal roof, they must go away. The boys
must push to the centres of the cities, and the
girls follow them if they can. A young man
or a young woman, raised to the point where
they understand the difference between living
and getting a living, can never be satisfied with
the latter alone. Either the farmer’s children
must be kept ignorant, or provision must be
made for their social wants. Brains and heart
need food and clothing as well ns bodies; and
those who have learned to recognize brains and
heart and the best and most important part of
their personal possessions, will go where they
can find the ministry they need.
What is the remedy ? How shall farmers
manage to keep their children near them. How
can we discourage the influx of unnecessary—
nay burdensome— population into the cities?
We answer: By making agricultural society at
tractive. Fill the farm houses with periodicals
and luniks. Establish central reading rooms,
or neighborhood clubs. Encourage the social
meetings of the young. Have concerts, lectures,
amateur dramatic associations. Establish a
bright, active, social life, that shall give some
significance to labor. Above all, build as far
asjpossible, in villages. It is better to go a mile
to one’s daily labor, than to place one’s self a
mile away from a neighbor. The isolation of
American farm life is the great curse of that
life, and it falls upon the women w ith a hard
ship that the men cannot appreciate, and drives
the educated youug away.— Scribner $ Monthly.
Strength of a Mother * L.ove.
Asene Housaye, the brilliant French nove
list and Paris correspondent of the New York
Tribune, relates this incident of the late tori ',
ble floods in the South of France :
The journals and the* telegrams have told
you all about these misfortunes, but you
know little about the private tragedies which
have melted oven Paris to tears. I will tell
you one story among many. A young mother
is awakened by the inundation. She has two
children, twins, at the breast, adorable little
girls. The water invades her house; it is night
and the hour is full of terror. The husband
takes care of himself and mounts on the root
But the mother thinks only of her children:
she ties them to her breast with a scarf, aud as
she is about to swim from the house she thinks
that the bread-trough will serve as a boat. The
house is tottering as the mother embarks in the
frail boat. Stic is scarcely out of the house when
it goes to pieces. The husband disappears in
the ruins. The little boats float away, but
strikes against a tree and is overturned. The
jioor woman seizes a branch and climbs into
he tree with the strength of a lioness fighting
tfor her young. But the tree is young it bends;
it will not hold all three. The mother sees
that the end has come, but her motherhood is
conquered. She ties her children to the strong
est branch, kisses them again, she signs them
with the sign of the cross, and “To the mercy
of God!”
The piteous drama was witnessed by specta
tors who could do nothing in aid until a quar
ter of an hour was gone. The mother was
drowned but the children were saved like Mo
ses They were adopted by the sisters of Char
ity of Castelsarrazin. The mother’s funeral
was an occasion of mourning in the midst of
the general sorrow. Her face seemed sanctified
by her action. One of inv friends said to me,
“I never saw such beauty.” Her eyes were half
closed her lips slightlv open, her hands crossed
above her breast. There is no spectacle more
divine than that of maternity in sacrifice.
Can the Wemoeratie Party Eletl
the Next President.
We are not surprised to see many of our best
authorities on political matters predicting that
the Democratic party will win the next Na
tional race.
It is difficult for the impartial reasoner to
come to any conclusion other than the one
al>ove. The Democrats now have a large ma
jority in the House of Representatives. This act
furnishes the most absolute proof that the ma
jority of the voters of the United States are op
posed to the Radical party. The complexion
of the House of Representatives is the surest
test that we have, not excepting even the Pres
idential race itself, of the temper of the people
and the relative strength of the parties. There
are 291 Congressional districts in the country-
An election held on national issues, as all Con
gressional elections must be held, in each of
these districts will show, beyond cavil, the
feelings of the people on national questions.
We do not put much confidence in the fact that
a majority of the States have Democratic Gov
ernors, for local considerations may have oper
ated in the State elections. But the fact that
the Democrats reversed the majority in the
Congressional House is proof, as positive as
proof in such myths can be, that a majority of
the voters of the United States are opposed to
the Radical party, and are working under the
Democratic flag.
It is our opinion that the Democratic candi
date for the Presidency will carry, next year,
207 votes of the Electorial College and nineteen
States of the Union. The count in our memo
randum book, and we are willing to stand on
it, is as follows :
Democrats will carry | Radicals will carry
Connecticut, 0 Maine, 7
New York, 35 N. Hampshire, 5
Delaware, 3 Vermont, 5
Maryland, 8 Massachusetts, 13
New'Jersey, 9 Rhode Island, 4
North Carolina, 10 South Carolina 7
Geergia, 11 Florida, 3
Alabama, 10 lowa, 11
Tennessee, 12 Kansas, 5
Kentucky, 12 Louisiana, 8
Virginia, 11 Michigan, 11
West Virginia, 5 Minnesota, 5
Texas, * 8 Mississippi, 8
Ohio, 22 Nebraska, 3
Indiana, 15 Nevada, 3
Missouri, 15 Wisconsin, 10
California, 0 Colorado, 3
Arkansas, 0 Pennsylvania, 17
Oregon, 3 Illinois, 21
207 1(10
It will take 184 votes to elect. Of the list of
States given to the Democrats, the only two
that we hold to he doubtful are Connecticut
and Oregon, with a total of nine notes, which
would reduce the Democratic strength to 106
votes, still leaving twelve votes to spare. On
the other hand it w ill be seen that we have
given the Republicans Massachusetts, which,
although it went Democratic last year, will, we
believe, swing hack into her ancient moorings ;
Florida, which we do not believe they can
carry; Louisiana, which may be counted Dem
ocratic, and New Hampshire, which has been
Democratic oftener than otherwise since the
war. —Atlanta Herald.
Payne’a Dream of “Home. Sweet
Home.’*
John Howard Payne, the author of that
touching and immortal song, “Home, Sweet
Home,” says tbe New York Weekly, was a
most unfortunate man. An incident in his ca
reer furnishes us with a remarkable dream.
He was not only poor in pocket, but a homeless
wanderer. In conversation with a friend, he
once gave expression to the following sad re
cital :
“How often,” said he, “have I been in tbe
heart of Paris, Berlin, and London, or in some
other city, and heard persons playing ‘Sweet
Home,’ without a shilling to buy the next meal,
or a place to lay' my head. The world has
literally sung my song until every heart is fa
miliar with its melody. Yet I have been a
wanderer from my boyhood. My country' has
turned me ruthlessly from office, and in my
old age 1 have to submit to humiliation for my
bread.”
He had the most exact and beautiful impres
sion of the heart’s emotion regarding home,
aud yet personally he was a stranger to all its
tender and loving influences. A wanderer and
some-times a vagabond, he has moved the hu
man heart to its very' depths by his exquisite
lines.
Disgusted with his treatment in his own
country, and still impelled by his disposition
to roam, his only wish was to die in a foreign
land, and to be buried by strangers, and sleep
in obscurity'. He obtained an appointment as
United States Consul at Tunis, where he died.
We now turn to a period antecedent to the
composition of his song. At times he was
greatly depressed, and seemed to feel most
acutely liis utter loneliness. One day a friend
called to see him, and on entering, said:
“How are you to day', Payne?”
“Down-hearted enough,” was the reply;
"hut last night I had one of the most glorious
visions in a dream that ever met mortal eye.”
“Ah, indeed, what was it?”
“Well, I will tell you. I suppose you think
it was a scene of vast wealth of a palace or
something else of that kind that man’s desires
are *et upon. It was nothing of the sort. I
don’t often have dreams, but when I do, they
impress me greatly. In this dream I was in a
home of most transcendent rural peacefulness
and beauty. It was ail that poet and painter
could imagine. The landscape -vas composed
of gentle rolling hills, and sweet, still valley s
with meandering streams. There were flow
ers and birds, crops, flocks and herbs. In the
midst of all this stood various habitations of
men, women, and children, and I heard pleas
ant voices, laughter, music, and song.
“Truly a beautiful picture of human content
ment,” said the friend.
“The life-long imagery of my brain,” cried
tbe poet, “of home, sweet home. Ah! how
my soul revelled in the picture! But gradually
it faded from my sight. I was transfixed. I
strained my vision to cateh its outlines as they
got fainter and fainter ; but at lust it had faded
entirely away. I then looked up, and saw a
great cloud gathering, which grew dark and
terrible.
“Ah said I; “that cloud is significant of utv
own lot”
“As I said these words, I saw traced upon it
in burning letters, these words of the Almighty
to another miserable man:
“A fugitive and vagabond shah thou be on
earth!”
“In terror, I recognized my doom, aud awoke
to find it both a dream and a reality ” 1
FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER Si. 1875.
The unhappy man buried his face in hi fj
hands, and for some time he seemed in tl?
deepest misery. |
“Avery wonderful dream,’’ said hiscampan
ion-
“ Well do you know what I intend to do ?”
said Payne, looking up : “I’ll tell you. I’ve
been thinking a great deal over the matter, and
I intend to w rite a ong called ‘Home, Sweet
Home.’ The picture of my dream shall be my
inspiration for the task, and my lonely heart
will give touching pathos to rny words.”
Not long after, the song of “Home, sweet
Home,” was given to the world bv John How
ward Payne. The dream is more especially re
called by the closing verse.
“An exile from home, pleasure dazzless in vain.
Ah ! give me my lowly thatched cottage again;
The birds singing sweetly, that come at my call,
Give me them, and that peace of mind which is
dearer than all.
Home, sweet Home!
There’s no place like home!

Vllien Secrets Will all be Known
This a truth who dare deny
That all mankind ere long must die,
Be called to stand before the throne
When secret tilings will all be know n.
Ye raging wind, ye madening storm,
Carry this news to every home,
The time is will surely come
When secret things will all be know n.
Ye princes proud, ye monarehs great
Who stamp the poor with dreadful hate,
You’ll have to stand before the throne
Where secret things will all he known.
Oh wicked man prepaie your heart,
Ere long from earth you must depart
Before the great, the awful throne
Your many secrets will be know n.
Ye demons vile who mortals hate
Remember this before too late
This time with you ere long will come.
When all your secrets will be known.
Ye lightnings flash, ye thunders roll,
Yc nations shake from pole to pole
For 10, the time will surely come
When ecret things will all be known.
When all the world to judgment go,
Their last their final doom to know ;
Oh what a sight there will be shown
When secret things are all made known.
Why AVeepest 1 lion ?
“ Woman, why w’eepest thou ? Whom dost
thou seek ?
Thus spake a voice amid my darkness bleak,
And I made answer, trembling low'and weak,
I weep because my love has gone away,
I seek for one who never will betray—
For one to be my solace and my stay.
For one whose honor is too pure and liue
To see the best things of my treasure’s time
Through fault of his much less by his design.
I seek for one too good, and kind and wise
Sternly to threaten me or to chastise,
Because ray anguish breaks in bitter cries.
I seek for one who will draw nigh to me
When I draw nigh to him, and, knowingly
Renew my life by Love’s sweet ministry.
I seek for one all glorious and bright
Of stable mind and soul divinely' w hite
In home to take most perfect pure delight.
I seek for one able to comprehend
And to interpret faithful to the end
That word of excellent and noble meaning,
Friend.
For one with subtile skill to search my soul,
And as I cannot understand the w hole.
Holding me tenderly in firm control.
Hungry, yea famishing for the soul’s bread,
I seek for one by whom I may be fed,
By whem I may to manna fields be led,
I seek for one to be my all in all,
Patient and cheer, too* strong to let me fall—
I weep becanse none answers to my call.
Then said the questioner to the smile divine,
I only can respond to smiles like thine,
Come with me for, woman, thou art mine.
No heart of mortal mould, no human mind,
To satisfy such cravings was designed.
But more than all thy soul in me shall find.
A Strange Cause of Iteatli.
About one of the most singular cases of
death that ever came within our province to
mention is that of Milton W. Blair, of Louisa
county, who died last week in California, of
the hiccoughs. Mr. Blair is an old merchant
of Louisa county, but has net been engaged in
business for a number of years. He has been
residing near morning Sun since retiring from
business. Last fall he was attacked with a fit
of hiccoughing, which continued for some
weeks, with scarcely any intermission. Becom
ing alarmed at the lon sc continuance of the
spell, Mr. B. came to Burlington to consult
with a doctor, w ho, after treating him a while,
declared he could give him no relief. From
this city he proceeded to Chicago, and consult
ed the best medical outhorities there, who did
all in tlieir power, but could not relieve him.
By their advice he went to California, accom
panied by his sister, thinking that the change
of climate would help him, remaining in that
State to the time of liis death, hiccoughing al
most continually, and having but few intervals
of rest. The continued strain and distress wore
him to a mere shadow of his former self, and
last week his sister telegraphed to friends and
relatives in this and Louisa counties that he
was dead. —Burlington Hmrkeye.
A funny incident is related of a constable in
Adrian, Mich , who arrested a prisoner in a
distant town. He handcuffed the prisoner and
himself together and laid down to sleep. In the
morning tbe handcuffs were i>n the constables
wrists, the prisoner was gone, and so was the
pocket-book, money, and watch of the offi
cer.

There are the Human nose, the dish m>se, the
snub nose, and a diversity' of other kinds of
noses, but the ugliest nose is the one that pokes
itself into other people’s business and this
everybody knows.
Empty is the life of au old maid. Never has
she felt the maternal rapture of lucking away
two curly headed cherubs, and hearing one say
—“Hands off, Jim, or I’ll but you right where
you live.”
