TRUE LOVELINESS.
She who thinks a noble heart
IJetter than a noble mien;
Honors virtue more than art,
Though ‘tis less in fashion seen;
Whatsoe'er her fortune be,
Shes’ the bride—the wife—for me.
She who deems that inward grace
Far show;
She w ho values less the face
Than the charm the soul can throw;
Whatsoe'er her fortune be,
She’s the bride—the wife—for me.
She'who knows the heart requires
Something more than lips of dew;
That when love’s brief rose expires,
Love itself dies with it, too—
Whatsoe’er her fortune be,
She's the bride —the wife—for me.

LITTLE STEVE;
Or, Whiskey a Slow Poison.
While passing to my boarding
house one day-, I discovered a
large crowd gathered round a tree
on the north side of the public
square* This one tiee had been
spared by the woodman’s axe, and
was rather an attraction on Sun
day occasions. At this tune every
man in the crowd seemed to be
busy, and acting under great ex
citement, while shout after shout
went up, to demonstrate that
something of great importance
was on hand. I had too much cu
riosity to pass them by, and 1 drew
neat to reconnoiter. 1 found they
were engaged in a peculiar pas
time, which they called shaking a
thrip off the forehead when it wasn't
there. Our Little Steve, as lie was
called, was the principal actor, and
the -‘observed of all observers.”
He was not in the secret of the
play, as on his ignorance depended
its success. The modus operandi
was to press a small coin on his
forehead with so much force that
the flesh would become stiff and
rather Void of feeling, and then
remove it, unknown to Steve
Bets were then made for and
against his success in shaking it
off'. Little Steve, as his name im
plies, was but a pocket edition of
humanity, weighing about eighty
pounds avoirdupois, hut a wiery
sort of a fellow, who Could put
himself into as many strange and
uncouth positions, and twist his
little carcass into as many contor
tions as any clown in a menagerie
To the great delight of the Law
rencevilleans, he was pitching and
rearing—jumping high and light
ing hard—wrinkling his forehead
up and wrinkling it down, and to
the right and left—snapping his
eyes with tremendous force, and
twisting his nose a wry —but all to
no purpose; the thrip wouldn’t
come. The sport continued until
Steve was well nigh exhausted,
and the spectators visibly pretty
well used up, and some one cried
out, ‘But the tree, Steve,” and he
butted. At the same time one of
the party adroitly dropped the
coin over Steve’s head, so that he
supposed it fell irom his forehead,
and the game was up. Steve was
now patted and petted—the hero
of heros, and finally* shouldered
and borne to the grocery,
they had a general carousal ; but
Steve was soon past the condition
to renew the game, at least for
that day. A few mornings after
wards, he came to my store very
early, and apparently in great dis
tress. ‘‘Mr. S., my wife is sick—
very sick; and coffee is always her
remedy. If yo» will let me have
some, I will pay you to-morrow;
Maltbie owes me the money.’’ I
was somewhat green in my knowl
edge of human nature—supposed
that every man was honest and
truthful —and my sympathies were
drawn out for Steve and his sick
wife. I readily put up the coffee,
and sugar to go with it, and he
i departed. Late in the evening, I
was passing a grocery, aud there
lay Steve in the piazza fast asleep.
The grocer said he had been there
all day—had fooled some man out
of some sugar and coffee —had
L&wrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, January 22, 1873.
pawned it for whiskey, which
would be meat and drink for him
for two or three days, and proba
bly lodging, too.
Steve had very little general
knowledge of men and things.
He couldn’t tell who was Presi
dent, 3 r et he manifested a good
deal of shrewdness in procuring
a supply of whiskey. All his
thoughts seemed to run in that
direction, and he never forgot an
election day. He was sometimes
employed in well digging, and in
cleaning out wells he was useful,
if closely wa'chcd. I had need of
h s services in that line, and I
thought it a good opportunity to
get pay for the coffee and sugar
Ilis price was one dollar and fifty
cents for such a job. When the
work was done, “Now, Steve,” says
I, “we are even. You have owed
me a long time. I will credit the
account in full.”
“No, sirree. Cleaning out wells
have riz. I charge three dollars
now. You must pay half cash,
and the other half may go on tfie
account.”
I had to submit.
But Steve sometimes suffered by
too much illustration of woman’s
rights. lie was a troublesome
family man—never went home
sober—and there were frequent
contests as to who should rule the
household. He always came off
victorious, until conquered by
stratagem. In the deep sleep that
foliowß intoxication, be was sewed
up in a blanket, and then with
hickories previously prepared, he
was flaggellated until woman’s
rights were fullv established for
the time being. But though Steve
promised the most thorough re
form, yet, like many a wicked
urchin, he wouldn’t stay whipped,
and the application of hickories
had to be repeated.
Speaking of woman’s rights,
brings to mind a reminiscence
which I will digress to narrate.
I was once interviewed by a
strong minded woman. She came
to the store door, and looking in,
glanced her eyes round till she
recognized me.
“That's him,” says she, as if
speaking to herself, and she walk
ed in.
She was vety tall and gaunt,
with a forbidding aspect, and a
cigar in her mouth. I pointed to
a chair, but her uncommon length
of limb enabled her to seat herself
on the counter, without much
effort; and putting one limb over
the other, manlike, she puffed her
cigar with great energy, an evi
deuce that ehe was strong at the
lungs as well as the mind. *-uok
ing' at me rather savagely, she
commenced :
“Well, I suppose you have writ
ted my old man—the bigger fool
for it; you will never get your
money. If you had axed me, I
would paid it, but you didn’t.
My John is not smart, aud I alters
tend to his business.”
She had much to say, but not
worth repeating. Site had evi
dently come for a quarrel, but I
refused to be a party, and she was
disappointed. The interview was
quite unsatisfactory, but her cigar
burnt out, and site straightened
herself to depart. As she passed
out, she turned round and gave me
her parting blessing thusly .
“I do think yon are the meanest
man and the ugliest man I ever
seed —good-bye.”
For the honor of Gwinnett coun
ty, I will say her duplicate could
uot be found in all that section.
The last I remember of Little
Steve, was at the time when all
the county officers were elected.
Party spirit was at the highest
point. Whiske flowed freely, for
there was no Revenue Tax. Every
grocer was dealing it out liberally,
' and charging it to tho candidates.
“COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
One candidate had a“barrel at the
Court House door, with the head
out, and tin cups were plenty—a
glorious timo for Steve aud the
like of him.
The voters were near two thou
sand, and it required several hours
to count them. It was near mid
night when I stepped into a gro
cery (it is not necessary to tell
why I was there), and there I
found some of the b’hoys just
'' drunk enough to be full of mis
chief. Several of the voters were
lying past locomotion, and the
boys were building log houses
with them, and ever and anon they
would jerk out the bottom log and
put it on top, declaring they were
for rotation in office. Hearing a
voice behind the door, I looked
round, and there was Little Steve.
The rogues had seated him on the
floor, with his back to a hogshead
of whiskey which stood on end,
and put his coat tail under it; and
there he was, discoursing elo
quently on the blessings of liberty,
and be tied fast by his coat tail.
1 saw him next day, minus a part
ot his coat, which had parted from
him in his great effort in behalf of
liberty.
I knew Steve for thirty or forty
years, and never saw him sober
when he could get liquor. The
amount he drank would soon have
destroyed any man of common
endurance, but in his case it might
truly be said, “Whiskey was a slow
poison.” S.

An Appeal to Young Men.
There is no class of persons in
a community in whom a deeper
interest is felt than the young
men. We mean particularly those
who are just emerging from the
roof and care of their parents and
about to take upon themselves the
duties and responsibilities of li'e
We would not, in speaking to
them, fill their minds or fetter their
imaginations with useless forehod
ings as to the cares and anxieties
which await them, nor would we
have them rush too heedlessly on
“amid the quick sands that attend
the sea of life.” The truth is, we
all love young men, and whether
our own or our neighbors.
We applaud and censure, as
they merit the one or the oilier*
with our heart? always warm to
wards them. We want them to
believe this, for, notwithstanding
the essays that have been written,
lectures delivered, books printed,
and sermons preached on this sub
ject, for their instruction and
guidance, the subject is not ex
hausted, and is still brim full and
running over with increased and
increasing interest. We shall there
fore ask pardon of no one, for de
siring some space in your columns
in trying to get the ear and confi
dence of our yoeng men ; to tell
them what we think it will at least
be worth their while to consider.
We shall try to force none of
them to adopt our views, unless
we get the approval of their judg
ments. Many a young man has
set cut in Ufa with the idea that
the world needed a good deal of
reforming, and should be set to
rights, and that he would do the
work. He was impatient and in
i tolerant, but by and by be fell into
the habits and thoughts of others,
until, as the hopelessness of his
undertaking settled upon him, he
concluded he could make himsell
more useful by undertaking less,
and finally concluded there was
not as much reformation needed
as he had first thought, or at least
that he would not do the whole
work in a day. So in writing to
and about young men, that there
is any thought of taking them to
pieces and making them over
■ again. No, without stoppiug to
discuss the practicability of such
!an undertaking, let it simply be
; remarked that it is not necessary.
! Taken as they are they are good
■ enough. Young men arc scarcely
ever bad. It takes an old man to
be a bad man. But it is not our
purpose to deliver a moral lecture.
Young men have already had
enough of that if they will heed
it. They want to talk to older
men, and want older men to talk to
them as to w hat they shall do now.
The vision of wealth and ease
upon which their young imagina
tions feasted, all went when the
negroes went. Yes, and they
ought never to stop thanking God
for it day and night. They ask,
“llow shall \je secure an honest
living aud merit respectability ?”
“What business shall w'e engage
in?” These are the questions we
propose.to answer, and we set out
by saying, never did such a vast
field of usefulness open before a
generation of young men, since
the world began as that which now
spreads out before you. Never in
the history of man were such
golden prizes to ambition and
energy, as those which now invite
you to reach forth your hand and
grasp them. What if the law,
medicine, and the counters are
already overstocked ? You ought
to be thankful for that, too. Then
you ask what other respectable
business can you engage in ? The
answer is, their names are legion
The farm, the vari us branches of
mechanics, civil engineering, <fcc,
&c.
But you enquire again,arc those
respect able. Clearly just as re
spectable in thomseives as the
others, for at last, they are all
respectable to you only, as you
in ike them so, by your own supe
rior energy and industry. A young
1 man once protested to his friend
against the selection of his trade,
which required manual labor, and
ainon i other th ngs said, “It is not
j respectable.” “Then,” nobly re
! plied the other, “1 will make it so.”
Is it not respectable to guide
j the plow which is to produce the
bread and clothing for the world ?
Is it not respectable to frame the
house which is to protect the
lamily, probably a dear wife ami
little ones, from the storm. Is it
not respectable to beat the bars of
iron and steel into the implements
which are to be used in both these
other employments. It these pur
suits are not respectable in the
sense you understand the word,
whose fault is it? Could you be
engaged in a more laudable under
taking than in making them re
spectable? Unfortunately there
is a misconceived idea of rcspecta
bility which has been the wreck of
many a young man, and it has
conjured up in the brains of many
a fond father visions of ambition
for his son, which, alas ! were only
visions! There is one kind of
business or trade, that too wtanj
engage in that never cun be made
Respectable, sucking at the God
of Bach ns—drinking the essence
of the grape or corn. Clayton

What 11k Knkw About Tmocsa
ing.—Tlie Titusville Press gives
an account of a young man Irotn
an Eastern city, who had been vis
iting rural friends in this vicinity.
After seeing a farmer thresh out a
“flooring” of oats the other morn
ing, he asked and leceived permis
sion to swing the flail a few initi
ates, upon assuring tl.e ugricultii
list that he was “perfectly familiar
with the art of threshing.” Expec
toring upon his hands, the young
mau went at the oats, blit at the
first pass knocked the horn off
from « new milch cow that was
leisurely cbowiug her cud in a
neighboring stall. 'The second
swing caved in tlie head of the
farmer, who thought lie was safe
enough as long as lie roosted on
top of the fanning mill in the other
end of the barn, but without dis
covering the havoc he was making,
the city artist kept at his labors ;
the third blow fell upon the oats,
tlie fourth killed a lieu in a manger
near by, and the tilth pass of the
deadly weapon was the best of all,
for ft came around behind tlie
young man boomerang fashion,
and taking him under the lower
jaw, knocked him down, anil thus
put a stop to the work of slaugh
ter. The mere fact that the city
‘thresher" returned to conscious
ness befoie the farmer did allowed
the former to get several miles out j
of town before Iris efforts at thresh
ing oats were discovered by his
neighbors.
[♦2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
THE FIRST CABINET.
Tl»e Men Who Surrounded
Washington.
Mr. Parton, in his January At
lantic, thus described Washington
and his first Cabinet:
Age had not quenched the vivac
ity of either of the four Secreta
ries—Jefferson, 47; Knox, 40;
Randolph, 37; Hamilton, 33.
j When in the world's history, was
so young a group charged with a
task so now, so difficult, so inmncii
tous ?
Such were the gentlemen who
had gathered around the council
table at the President’s house in
New Yoik in 1870; at the head of
the table General Washington,
now 58,his frame as erect as ever,
but bis face show ing the deep tia
ecs of the thousand anxious hours
he had passed Not Verst din the
lore of schools, but gifted with a,
great sum of intellect, the eternal j
glory of this man is, that he used
all the mind he had in patient en
deavors to find out the right way ;
ever on the watch to keep out of
his decision everything like bias
or prejudice, never deciding uutil
be had exhausted every source
within his reach. Some questions
he could not decide with his owu
mind, and he knew he could not.
lu such cases he bent all his pow
ers in ascertaining how the sub
ject appeared to minds fitted to
grapple with it, and getting them
to view it without prejudice.
I am delighted to learn that Mr.
Carlyle can seldom hear the name
of Washington pronounced without
breaking forth with an explosi tu
of contempt, especially, it is said,
if there is an American hearing.
Washington is the exact opposite
of a full Carlylean hero. His
glory is that he was not richly
endowed, non sufficient unto him
self, not indifferent to human
rights, opinions and preferences ;
but feeling deeply his need of help,
sought it where alone it was to be
found, in minds fitted by nature
and training to supply his lack.
It is this heartfelt desire to be
right which shines so affectingly
from the plain words of Washing
ton, and gives him rank so far
above the glorious bandits, whom
hero worshipers adore.
On the right of the President,in
the place of honor, sat Jefferson,
now forty-seven, the senior of all
his colleagues ; older in public ser
.vice, too, than any of them ; tall,
erect, ruddy, noticeably quiet, aud
unobtrusive iu bis address and
demeanor; the least pugnacious
of men. Not a fanatic, not an en
thusiast, but an old fashioned
Whig, nurtured upon “old Coke,”
enlightened by twenty five years’
of intense discussion —with pen,
tongue and sword—of Cokean
principles. Fresh from the latest
commentary upon Coke—the ruins
of the Ha.-tilc—and wearing still
his red Paris waistcoat and breech
es, he was an object of particular
interest to all meß, and doubtless
often relieved the severity of busi
ness by some thrilling relation out
ol bis late foreign experience.
Opposite him, on the President’s
left, was the place of Hamilton,
Secretary of the Treasury, in all
| the alertness and vigor of thirty
three years. If time had matured
his talents it had not lessened hi*
self sufficiency ; because, as yet, all
bis short life bad been success.aud
| he had associated chiefly with men
who possessed nothing of his flu
ency or iiis arithmetic. A posi
tive, vehement gentleman, with as
firm a faith iu the apparatus of
finance as General Knox bad in
I great gnus. He was now in the
' full tide of activity, lobbying
measures through Congress, and
I organizing the Treasury Depart
merit, the most conspicuous man
in the administration, except tlv?
President, as usual, his* unseen
work was his best In organizing
- keeping, ami disbursing the reve- 1
nue, he employed so much tact,
forethought and fertility, that liis
successors have each, iu turn, ad
mired and retained hit* most im
; portant devices lie arranged the
system so that the Secretary of tlte
{ Treasury, at any moment, could
i survey the whole working of it;
and he held at command all the
resources of the United States,
subject to lawful use, without
j being able to divert one dollar to
a purpose not specialty authoi ir.ed.
He could not draw ids own pit
taucs of salary without the signa
ture of the four chief pfficers of
the Department —Comptroller, Au-i
ditor, Treasurer and Register.

They are alia heap letter than

the way of leanin back whea tin y

the best side to stick out on, and
its riubodys but theirs.
They may wear anything they
want to, bussels and hoops and
hangovers and c nvexos and C"I
lapses ami whimadiddles and stick
outs and topknots come down and
anything else so there is a woman
hiil away somewhere im-ido of it
all. It’s all a slum —that rubber
bussel— there ain’t no substance
nor backbone in it. I’ve seen em
flat and seen cm blowed up Tnerc
aint a bit of harm iu cm, but I
never see one on a woman that 1
don’t want to hit it jus! hard emit'
to make it pop. I golly, wouldcnt
she jump high amt holler ? But
I’m not a goin to do it ; no, sir ;
I’ve got too much respect lot*
women. Their b .ssels don t hint
nobody, and 1 do despise to see a
man always piekiu ata woman’s
close. It they dident wear some
thing to disguise em tlie men
would quit business when they
cum about. Purty women always
did wear something to skt-er tlie
men away* It's been so fmever
During the w*ar I seed one woman
who jest dressed as natcrul as
life, without any paddin or stulliii,
aud when she cum along the boys
jest laid down and rolled over and
hollered. They warent tit f>r bti
si ness for a week. But I coiildenl
bear to see em go with their faces
lied up like they U > in Turkey.
That would mighty nigh kill me.
If I can look into their blessed
countenances lean pu j up wiili
their fore riggin and their hind
riggin and top riggin and ail. A
good, sweet, purty face speaks for’
all the balance of the erait. 1
wouldcnt marry narry girl on the
earth till I see her lace, and not
then if she dident suit ne ll the
eyes, nose and month ate all right,
ijatur is an endorser for all the
balance. Faint aiut no'.liin—shape
is everything. I hey can t paint a
shape, nor a glance of the eye.
You may paint a house ever so

what's inside ol it. But when
you see bright roses and posies
and blossoms in the front yard,
and a vine over the duo , and
clean, clear wittier glass a ►hin

balance. Yoil ncedent worry about
the bu.ssrl nor the back. U oineu
have been doing that way ever
mi'nee old Solomon wrote ab mt em.
If they do lean a little as they go,
its all right, They can straighten
