He that loves a rosy cheek,
Or a coral lip admires,
Or from starlike eyes doth seek
Fuel to maintain his fires ;
As old time makes these decay
So his flames must waste away.
But a smooth and steadfast mind
Gentle thoughts and calm desires,
Hearts with equal love combined,
Kindle never—dying tires:
Where these are not-, I despiso
Lovely cheeks or lips or eyes.

For the Herald.
LLTTLIC FROM TEXAS.
Mr. Editor: Two weeks of
August I npent very pleasantly on
a trip by wagon to the county and
town of Montague, 135 miles north
west of Oltveria. This is not a
test year. Crops aro universally
good. Reports of wheat range
from 12 to 25 bushel per aero, and
corn has fallen in price from one
dollar to 40 cts. in the bushel since
Juno. Cotton promised well for a
while, but the ravages of the fall
worm have commenced. This
worm bores into the bolls and forms
and kills the staple. We saw along
our route lamps shining in the
cotton fields at night. These lamps
attract the “millers” the producers
of tho worm. Under the lamp is
a pan of kerosene which catches
and holds the blinded millers.
These lamps have not proven a
success. The man who uses the
lamp gets the benefit of the millers
from all adjacent farms where lamps
are not U3ed.
The details of our trip can not
he given in our short space. Suf
fice it to mention, only on 6 section
of short crops, and that inhabited
wholly by negroes, the “devil's
race track,” a long, rough, Hack
lane, in which even the Greenback
party could hardly ‘beat the devil;’
the swarms of flies, which almost
crazed our poor horses; the gentle
breeze, tho watermelons and fru:ts.
aDd especially our camp on Gaines
ville prairie. This prairie is love
ly and grand. It stretches over
most of tho western half of Cooke
county and its rolling surface
dotted with herds of cattle was in
full view from our elevated and
breezy camp on a lovely August
Sabbath morning.
Let us turn at once to Montague.
This is odo of the tier of counties
bordering on Red River, and is in
many respects the best county we
have yet seen.
There is everything in Montague
to encourage the industrious poor
man in his start up hill.
Raw land sells here at Sl| to $2
per acre. The surface is composed
of tall ridgos and wide valleys. In
places it is very hilly, almost
mountainous. The farm lands are
in the valleys and on some of the
lower ridges. Tho ridges are tim
bered, The timber is post-oak,
easily split. Very little under
growth which has been kept down
bv annually “burning off.” The
valleys are free from nil vegetation
save grass. To improve a farm
here costs little laber. Tha land is
easily cleared and may be plowed
with a Georgia plow, producing
well the first year. A mansion
may be thrown up in 2 - days, to
raise a family of eleven children
in. The man who could not get a
home here, ought to have his
plebeian blood exhausted by mos
quitoes
Another advantage: On tho
prairie farms joins farms as com
pactly as towu lots; but there will
bo excellent pasturage in Montague
long after all our prairie is under
fence.
Ridge, valley and mound are
covered with sedge grass. Land
that is unfit to cultivate is green
with it. This, of itself, is. worth
hundreds to a farmer.
Excellent water is near the sur
face. The climate is salubrious.
The county is marked with streams
of running water.
Society is “good ordinary.” In
telligence and kindness by no
menus diminish as you go west.
Some of the Montaguera use slang,
j Their “yea” is “pity hit don’t,”
'and their “nay,” “pity hit does.”
A few days among the citizens,
cost me, a stranger, only my to
bacco, and some other fellows’ to
bacco.
Hospitality exists in its purity.
The polish of education is not
wanting, though not existing in its
perfection.
A fine view of the surrounding
country may be obtained from the
ridges and mouads We climbed a
til) mound called Jim Ned Look-
Out, whose summit was once oc
cupied by an Indian of that name.
While there a mist was falling, but
we saw displayed a bird’s eye view
of au interesting country—scatter
ing fields of alternating green and
brown, the humble cottages, the
level and farreaching valleys, and
tho ridges bristling with trees,
combine to form a soul-stirring
picture. Jim Ned looks over halt
of the county and parts of other
counties. Tho smoke of the engine
is already in sight frota the l*t

'1 eiiii>ci’uuce Circular,
To the Baptists of Georgia:
The Baptist Convention at its last
scsoion in A mcricus ordered the under
signed to Asue an address to the con
stituents of that body upou the subject
of Temperence Now in accordance
therewith we publish tho following:
'i’iic Evil.
The Courts of our country, die pri
sons of our laud, the wasted fortunes of
many citizens, the blighted hopes of
many parents, tho misery of many
homes, the paralyzed energies of many
Christians,the confusion and disorder of
many Churches and the destruction of
many lives, and the everlasting loss of
many soul*—all these but imperfectly
measure the magnitude of the evil of
Intemperance.
The Hemel>.
Reformation in our own lives, strict
discipline in our Churches, an earnest
ministry in favor of Temperaflce, sym
pathy for the poor inebriate, co-opera
tion with all good people in their ef
forts to suppress tho evil, a generous
support to all executive officers of the
State in enforcing the laws touching
the sale of intoxicating liquors, and an
appeal to our law making powers for
more stringent legislation, and a pray
er to God for deliverance from the
curse, is the only remedy we have for
this great evil. And we beg our breth
ren every where to be vigilant in the
use of these moans for the protection
of the people from the ravages of the
terrible enemy.
Encouragement.
Other denominations are identifying
themselves with this movement, various
temperance organizations are being en
dowed with vigor, judges, juries and
other officers of the civil government
are more faithful iu exeouting the laws
touching the traffic in strong drink;
many members of the Legislature have
been trying to enact laws for the better
suppression of this evil. Already about
one-half of the territory of the State
has adopted 'prohibitory laws and the
demand for relief is growing stronger
and more imperative every day. The
outlook is hopeful. If we do our whole
duty we shall, by the grace of God, be
relieved, reelai mod and redeemed from
their curse.

Goliii-n Rules tor Roys s>nl
Girls,
The person who first sent these rules
to be printed says truly if any boy
or girl thinks it would be hard to
keep so many of them iu uiiud all the
time, just think also what a happy
place it would make of home if you
only could :
1. Shut every door after you and
without slamming it.
2 Never shout, jump or run in tho
house.
3. Never call to persons up stairs or
iu the next room ; if you wish to
speak to them go quietly where they
are.
4 Always speak kindly and polite
ly to the servants if you would hate,
them do the same to you.
5 HTien told to do, or not to do a
thing by either parent, never a=k why
you should or should not do it.
G Tell of your own faults an i mis
doings, not those of your hr. tbers and
listers.
7. Carefolly clean the mud or snow
off your boots before entering the
house.
8. Be prompt at every meal hour.
9. Never sit down at tho tabie, or
in (lie parlor, with dirty bauds or rum
p!(pl !*air. p
Ifn iV w v 'n:v v-rrupt any conversa
t iln, but wait pattciidA 'fOttt tutu to
speak.
12. Never reserve your good man
ners for company, but be equally po
lite at home and abroad.

friend bo your mother.
Nlrlieriiiu Orchartls.
In a paper on protection to the or
chard, read before the American Porn
oiogical Society, by I>r. J. A War
der, the various means of provisions
md protection taken advantage of in
various sections of the country were
dwelt upon at length. Following is a
summary of the list :
Ridges of elevated lands or range?
of nouutains across the direction of
the prevailing storm will ward off the
rigors. Aspect and elevation of the
orchard site above the frost line prom
ise favorable results. Sheltered val
leys are sometimes seecessfully planted
with fruits. Masses of water, with
their influence upon the temperature
of the air, both in winter and spring,
insure the safety of crops even in high
latitudes. Fogs prevent the action of
frosts and are ofteu beneficial. Suioke
or smudge will act as a cioud in check
ing the radiation of heat that might
produce a frost. All these natural
features may be taken advantage of
where they exist, and may be used as
means of provisions by the well-inform
ed orebardist.
Where the sheltering woodlands
have been removed, or where these do
not uaturalij exist, the following
means may be provided : Forests nat
ural or artificial, groves or copses judi
ciously placed, artificial wind-breaks or
Shelter-belts at moderate intervals and
set across the lines of the prevailing
summer and winter winds, hedge-rows
of trees between the fields, hedges for
shelter, as subdivisions of the farm,
and around orchards or fruit gardens,
trees deciduous or evergreen scattered
through the orchard, walls and close
fences, particularly about the gardens.
The sides of buildiugs may also be
utilized.
llonselioUl flint*.
Corsets with the whalebones remov
ed make good cleaning cloth.
Onions and potatoes should be put
into warm water an hour before cook
ing.
Rat holes may be stopped effectually
by filling with broken glass and plas
ter of paris.
Old boot tops, cut into pieces the
right si?e and lined, make good iron
holders. The leather keps all heat
away from the hand.
To remove grease from wall paper,
lay folds of blotting paper on
the spi t and hoi 1 a hot i near it
until the grease is absorbed.
Sc-asor, new vegetables with a good
deal of black pepper as wIU as with
salt. There is then less danger ot
their ailed mg the stomach unfavora
bly.
Eggs that, are to be used iu cooking
should be put in cold water iu summer,
while you are making your prepara,
tions to use them. Then break each
one separately into a cup, to see it it is
good.

The little voicu suddenly became in

American En|ci*|*ri**
No invention of the nineteenth cen
tury has worked a greater revolution
in household economy or conferred
more of a benefit on humanity than the
sewing uiaehine.
The first productions were crude and
uncouth io tho extreme, and it was re
served for American skill and ingenu
ity to bring forth a machine of any
practical value.
In order to appreciate the great ad
vancement which lias taken place it is
only necessary to compare one of the
machines built during the infancy of
the invention with one of the latest
improved “Light Running New Home.’
In the manufacture of this ma
chine old ideas have been discarded,
and in accordance with the progref
sivc movement of the age new mechan
ical principles have been substituted of
such absolute value as cannot fail to
commend themselves to the most casual
observer.
For all kinds of domestic and manu
facturing work the “New Home” is
unequalled.
All tbe really good points contained
in other machines have ben utilized
iu its construction. Many new im
provements and devices ha e also been
added, the result of which is a machine
as nearly perfect os it is possible to
makeone
For simplicity, durability, ease of
management, and capacity for work,
the “Light Running New Home" has
no rival, and the happy possessors of
one may rest assured that he or she
has the very best tlie world affords.
AH who send for the Company’s new
illustrated catalogue, and enclose their
advertisement (printed on another
page,) will receive a set of advertising
novelties of value to card collectors.
