GREENESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1882. Tlicu ami Now. “I wish I were a boy again !” Thus wrote a pensive bard, But ’twas a foolish wish to pen, Though trouble pressed him hard. Oh, who to childhood would return, Repeat his chequered years ; Once more their rigid lessons learn, Of turmoil, toil and tears ? What brighter page would be traced Within the book of lime ; What record of wrong words erased— What deeds show more sublime ? Alas, the human will is weak To curb the passion wild ; Man may not think or act or speak With nature undefiled. And should he tread life'a path again, Not all the garnered lore, Reaped from the harvests that have been, Would make him err no more. The same temptations still would rise To tempt his fiekle clay, The same dark clouds obscure the skies, The same snares fill his way. And then, as now would he repeat The follies of the past; Hurl prudence from its regal scat, And truth behind him cast. No ardent longings can repair The moments fled away ; i?ut those may be improved with care That come to us to-day. They bear adown time’s rushing tide, Like ships, a precious freight, That must for weal or woe decide Men’s everlasting fate. ARYIEI). There was onco a boy who want to Sabbath School regularly, and ho learn- ! ed his ieasons well, so that he had a great many JBible verses in his mind. Me was a temperance boy. This boy was on a steamboat making a journey. One day as he sat alone on the deck, j looking down in the water, two ungod ly men agreed that one should go and persuade him to drink. So he drew near the boy and invited him to drink a glasi of liquor with him. I thank you sir, laid tho little fellow but I don't drink liquor. Never mind my lad ; it will not hurt you. Come and drink with me. Wine ii a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, was the boy’s ready reply- You need not be deceived by it. I would not have you drink too much. A little will do you no harm, and will make you feel pleasantly. At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder, said the boy. And I feel much safer, and certainly think it much wiser not to play with the adders. Mv fine little follow, said the crafty man, it will give.great pleasure if you will eome and drink a glass of wine with m. My Bible says, If sinners entice thee, consent thou not, wag his reply. That was a stunning blow to the tempter, and he went back to his com panion. Oh the faot is. replisd the man, that little fellow is so full of the Bible, that you can’t do anything with niim. So may it be with all, the young and old.— [Ex. A ttoosl W ord For The Scis sors. An exchange truthfully observes : Some people, igoorant of what good editing is, imagine the getting up of selected matter to be the easiest work in the world to do, whereas it is the nicest work done on a newspaper. — If they see the editor with scissors in his hand, they are sure to say : "Eh, that’s the way you are getting up original matter, eh?" accompanying their new and witty questions with an idiodic wink or smile. The facts are that the interest, the variety and the usefulness of a paper depend in no small degree upon the selected matter, and few men are capable for the posi tion who would not themselves be able to write many of the articles they sc* lect. A sensible editor desires cosid erable select matter, because he kcows that one mind cannot make so good a paper as five or six. (ESTABLISHED 7-V TIIE YEAR 1855). TTutlilul Hits. Spanish proverb: Tbe man who stumbles twice on the same stone is a fool. If tbe end of one mercy were not tho beginning of another we were undone. Learn to take life as it comes, but be sure to make the best of it before it goes. The wisdom of the wise and the ex perience of ages may be preserved by quotations. The flowers of r’netorio are only ac ceptable when backed by the ever greens of truth and sense. D It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies; seldom safe to iustiuct even our friend#. Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him. The repentance which cuts off all moorings to evil demands something more than selfish fear. We carry all our neighbor’s crimes in the light, and throw allour # own over our shoulder. Youth is the tassel and silken flower of life; age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the car. Pleasure is the mere accident’of our being, and work its natural and most holy necessity. It is an admitted fact that man who use their brains live longer, other things being equal, than those who do not. What must be shall be, and that which is a him that strug gles is little more than a choice to him that is willing. Honor is but the reflection of a man’s own action, shining bright in the face of all about him, and from thence rc° bounding upon himself. We never know the true value of f.hnds. While they live wc are too sensitive to their faults; when no have 1 i:t them we only sco their virtues. A good conscience i3 an excollent thing, and so, too. is a winsome man ner It shoo Id be carefully cultivated. When frankness, becomes rudeness it should be properly obecked. Re independent; don’t hang around, snd wait for somebody else to go ahead. Break your own path. Don’t put off to-day’s work uutil to-morrow in hopes that it will be done for you. Bear in mind the solemn and stu pendous truth that you are preparing for eternity, and act in such a way that you may not fear to hava tho sunlight of eternity stream full upon all your finished deeds. At one of Mr. Moody’s meetings, a minister related the following incident ; I was holding a mission in a colliery district, and in the course of the morning, when I was invit-. ing people to the evening meeting, I knocked at a door and found a woman at a washing tub, I said to her ; I call to tell you I am hold ing mission service at such and such a church; will you and your family join us? Chapel, she said ; I am up to my eyes in washing.— I have three black men coming in, and there’s that wringing-machine, I gave fifty shillings for it, and it’s broken the first round. She was in a towering passion and I thought I would not say any more to her, so I looked at the machine and found it was not broken, but had only slipped out of gear; I set it right, and then said; Now you have been hindered, so I’ll just take a turn at the wringing. So I went to work, —turn, turn, turn. At last she looked up and said, 1 Whero did you say the chapel was? . I told her. She said I’ll tell my husband to night, and wo II come. That woman was saved, and her husband and all the family, and she becamo the best worker in the village, and there was a blessed awakening in that place. She wont from house to house saying, Come and hear the minister; it’s he as men Jed the machine.—[Ex. i Tlic l>ea*l el the Wilderness. SELECTED BY L. L, Jl’lV. Together they lio on the lonely plain, In driving sleet and in drenching rain, When nights are dark in the dreary pines, Or hushed and solemn the moonlight shines. The selfsame flowers above them wave, The same birds chirrup from grave to grave. And tlic sunshine sweet is tho same that is shedj By the gracious Giver on both the dead. Now that the battle, the rage is o’er, They sleep in peace, they aro foes no more. One had his birth in the North afar, Where moan the firs to the midnight star. There, at the foot of the gray old liilt. Ilia widowed mother awaits him still. Husband, and daughters, and sons are gone, Stricken and broken, she watches alone ; Daily she goes to the time-worn door To look for her youngest, who comes no mot e, For the tall, straight form, and tho fair proud head, That have lain for years with tho nameless dead. One had his home where the rice-fields blow, And dark Palmettos their fan-leaves show. Ilis bride, liis darling, the wife of ft day, lias watched and prayed till her hair is gray; But never a line has she had to tell If he died at onee where he fought and fell, Or lingered forgotten, in sun and rain, Through nights of fever and days of pain. Alas ! no voice from the dead can come To that broken-heart, to that widowed home. Together (hey lie on the lonely plain, Never to struggle, or suffer again 1 And they sleep so calm, in a peace so deep, They do not know their loved ones weep. They have gone to a land where the rush and roar And thunder of battle are heard no moro. The snows may drive, and tho winds may rave. The rains beat wild on each nameless grave, But they heed no sounds from the angiy past, Together—as brothers—they sleep at last. * omm Uviiix to Purpose. Live for some purpose in the worM. Act your part well. Fill up the tneasuro of your duty to others. Conduct yourself so that you shall be missed with serrow when you are gone. Multitude* of your epooies are living in such a selfish manner that they are not likely to be reraemberod after their disappearance. They leave behind them scarcely any trace of their existence, but aro forgotten almost as though they had rot bean. They are, while they live, like one pebble lying unobserved among a million on the shore ; and when they die, tbsv are like the same pebble thrown into the sea, which just ruffles the surface,sinks and is forgotten, without being .missed from the beach. They are neither regretted by the rich, wanted by the poor nor celebrated iby the learned. Who has been jthe better for their life? Who has 'been the worse for their death? Whose tears nave they dried up? Whoge wants supplied? Whose miseries have they bealsd ? Who would unbar the gates of life to readmit them to existence ? Or what face would greet them back again to our world with a smile ? Wretched, unproductive mode of existence ! Selfishness is its own curse: it is a starving vice. The man who does no good, gets none. He is like the heath in the desert, neither yielding fruit nor seeing when good coroetb; a stunted, dwarfish, miserable shrub.—Ex. A IScaiittl’ul Indian lA-gciul. The legaDd of the Cherokee rose is as pretty as the flower itself. An In dian Chief of tbo Seminole tribe was taken prisoner by his enemies, the Cberokees, and doomed to torture, but became eo seriously ill that it became necessary to wait for his restoration to health before committing him to the fire. And as he lay prostrate by dis ease in the cabin of the Cherokee vrar ior, the daughter of the latter, a young rdark faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in love with the youDg chieftaiD, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA LIBRARY and, wishing to save his life, urged him to escape; but he would not do so unless she would flee with him. She consented. Yet before she had gone far. impelled by soft regret at leaving homo, she asked permission of her lov er to return home for tho purpose ol bearing away some memento of it. On retracing her footeteps, she broke a twig from tho white rose which climb ed up the pole of her father's tent and preserved it during her flight through the wilderness, and planted it by the door of her new homo in the land of the SeminoUs. And from that day this beautiful flower has been known between the capes of Florida and throughout tho Southern States by the name of the Cherokee rose. Tlic Law olTiewspancrJi. It is an unwritten law well under stood iu journalism, aays tbe Bo*ton Traveler , that no editor i uuder the slightest obligation to give a reason for his aeccptanoe or non-acceptance ol a manuscript, lie is not called upon to vrright a private critique on the ar ticle to the author of it. Ilis accep tance or rejiCtioD is an abfo'ute snd unquestionable fact AwoDg amateur witers this does not seem to be under stood. All sub-editors and reporters understand that it is an unjustificable impertinance to ask the managing edi tor his reason for publishing cr not publishing any matter submitted to.his judgment. Outside writers and aspir ing ametours rarely seem to compre hend this truth, and their transgres sions are largely from ignorance rath er than intention. The nature of edi torial work requires absolute power of decision, in cider to preaerve the undee. of the journal the editor conducts. Tlic IVonl MVll'c. What do you think the beautiful word “wife’’ comes from ?
