Stick to One Thing,
“Unstableness as water, thou
•ball not excell,” is the language of
ihe Bible. Whoever expects to
succeed in any undertaking, must
enter into it with a hearty and ear
nest will to do his best. When a
trade or profession is chosen, obsta
cles, be they large or small, must
not be allowed to stand in the way
of mastering that trade or profes
sion.
However much we may depre
cate (he oldtime custom of indentu
ring apprentices, the system in its
practical results operated almost al
ways for the lasting good of the ap
prentice. Generally it insured to
him agood trade and a wholesome
discipline that fitted him for success
in business.
At the present time, very many
young m6n undertake to acquire a
trade, and after a brief trial aban
don it, because there are unpleasant
duties to be performed and obsta
cles to be overcome. They consid
er themselves accountable to no one
and go and come at the bidding of
caprice, or an unsettled, uneasy
mind. The result of this is to send
ont into life world young men who
have uot half learned their trades,
of unstable character who drift
from pillar to post, and who succeed
in nothing but strolling along the
higways ol life, melancholy wrecks.
We would earnestly entreat every
young man, after he has chosen his
vocation, to slick to it; don’t leave
it because hard blows are to be
struck or disagreeable work per
formed. The men who have worked
their way up to wealth and useful
ness do not belong to the shiftless
and unstable class* but may be
reckoned among those who took ofl
their coats, rolled up their sleeves,
conquered their prejudices against
labor, and manfully bore tbc heat
and burden of the day.
Whether upon the old, worn-out
farm where our fathers toiled, dili
gently striving to bring back the soil
to productiveness ; in the machine
shop or factory, or in the thousand
other business places that invite hon
est toil and skill, let the motto ever
be: Perseverance and industry.—
The baby training of the nursery
was good in its place, but it won’t
answer all demands of an active life.
This is not a baby world. We
must expect to bp jostled and
knocked about in stern conflict, and
get run over if we are not on the
lookout and be prepared to meet the
ditties of life with a purpose not to
shirk them, but to fulfill them.
A young man with a good trade
or honorable profession, as he goes
fortb into the world with his mind
made up to stick to his trade or pro
fession is not obliged to ask for ma
ny favors. He will hew his way to
success, while the unstable and
shiftless will grow tired, despair and
fail. —Standard.
J. 2. POLHILL.
A Spanish Atrocity.
A most touching instance of hero
ism, and one of the most attocious
acts of cruelty, the truth of which is
vouched for by the most respectable
authority, occurred during the Co
lumbian struggle for independence.
The Spanish General, Morillo, the
most bloodthirsty and treacherous
toolofthe Spanish King, was created
Count of Carthagenia and Marquis
de la Peoria, for services which
rather entitled him to the butcher or
hangman. While seated in his lent
one day, he saw a young boy before
him drowned in tears. The chief
demanded of him for what purpose
he was there.
The child replied that he had
come to beg the life of his father,
then a prisoner in Morillo’s camp.
‘What can you do to save your
father ?’ asked the •eneral.
*1 can do but little, but what I
can shall be done.’
‘Morillo seized the little fellow’s
ear, and said;
‘Would you suffer your ear to be
taken off to procure your father’s
life V
*1 certainly would,’ was the un
daunted reply.
A soldier was accordingly called,
and ordered to cut off the ear with
ft single stroke of the knife.
The boy wept; but did not resist
while the barbarous order was being
executed.
‘Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail in your purpose?’
was the next question.
‘lbave suffered much but for my
father I can suffer still,’ was the an
swer of the boy.
The other ear was taken off by
piece meal, without flinching on the
part of the noble boy.
‘And now go !* exclaimed Morillo,
untouched by his sublime courage :
‘The father of such a son must
die.’
In the presence of his agonized
Louisville, Jefferson County, Ga., Friday, September 1, 1871.
and vainly suffering son, the patriot
father was executed.
Never did a life picture exhibit
such truthful lights and shades in
national character, such deep,
treacherous villainy, such lofty, en
thusiastic heroism.
“Whisky has Used Him Up.”—
There is scarcely a community or
neighborhood from Maine to Oregon
where this saying is not used almost
every day in the year, and altogeth
er 100 truly. A subject of this kind
is to be found in almost every town.
The merchant has failed and whis
ky has done it. The lawyer with a
brilliant talent and a large business
has fallen below the range of re
spectability and confidence; whisky
was the cause. The politician with
bright prospects before him has
played out, and the account is
charged to whisky. The judge of
talent, age and re3pectil»ility, is the
subject of private and neighborhood
talk. His enemies point with deris
ion, and his friends hang their
heads in shame, and whisky has
done it. That kind-hearted neighbor
and hard-working man has become
a pest to society and trouble to his
family. Whisky has beat him.—
Whisky will beat any tnan living
and that is just-whal it is made for
A Good Joke on Editoks. —Soon
after Chief Justice Chase (then a
whig) assumed the gubernatorial
chair’tn Ohio, fie issued his proclama
tion appointing a thanksgiving day,
To make sure of being orthodox,
the Governor composed his procla
mation almost exclusively of passa
ges from the Bible, which he did not
designate as quotations, presuming
lhat every one would recognize
them and admire the words as well
as his taste in their selection. The
proclamation meeting the eyes of a
democratic editor, he pounced at
once upon it—declaring he had read
it befote—could not say exactly
where—but he would take his oath
that it was downright plagiarism
from beginning lo end. That would
have been a pretty fair joke; but
the next day the whig editor came
out valiantly in defence of the Gov
ernor, pronounced the charge false
and liblellous, and challenged any
man living lo produce one single line
of the proclamation that ever had
appeared in print before. —Columbus

Rise Higher. —When the birds
are flying over, and the fowlei lies
in wait for them, if they fly low, at
every discharge of the fowler’s gun
some fall, some are wounded, and
some, swerving sideways, plunge
into the thicket and hide themselves.
But you will find that immediately
after the first discharge of the gun
the flock rise and fly higher. And
at the next discharge they rise again
and fly still higher. And not many
limes has the plunging shot thinned
their number before they take so
high a level that it is in vain lhat the
fowler aims at them, because they
are above the reach of. his shot.
When trouble comes upon you, fly
higher; and if they will strike you,
fly still higher. And by and by you
will rise so high in the spiritual life,
that your affections will be set on
things so entirely above, that these
troubles shall not be able lo touch
you. So long as the shot strikes
you, so long hear the word of God
saying to you, “Rise higher.”
The Husband. —Ladies some
times do not value their husbands a3
they ought. They do not unfre
quently value a good husband for
the first lime when they (eel the loss
of him. Yet the husband is the very
roof-tree of the house, the corner
stone ol the edifice, the key stone of
the arch called home. He is the
bread-winner of the family, the de
fence and its glory; the beginning
and ending of the golden chain which
surrounds it, its consoler, its law
giver and its king. And yet we see
how frail is that life on which so
much depends! How frail is the lile
of a husband and father! When he
is taken away, who shall fill his
place ? When he is ill, what gloomy
clouds hover over the house ! When
he is dead, what darkness, weep
ing, agony ! Then poverty, like the
murderous assassin, breaks in at the
windows; starvation, like a famish
ing wolf, howls at the door. Wid
owhood is too often an associate of
sackcloth and ashes.
A colored man was arraigned be
fore one of the Camden courts a
short lime since charged with the
larceny of some wood. When call
ed on lo plead to the indictment, he
said ; “I bought the wood, and dal
I know I did; but lo save my soul
from the gallis, cannot tell the man
I bought it of, kase I bought it in the
dark. I guess I’ll plead guilty.’ 3
A barber is always ready to scrape
an acquaintance, and often cuts
them, too.
A Serf’s Love.
Some years ago, a Russian noble
man was traveling on special busi
ness in the interior of Russia. It was
the beginning of winter, but the frost
had set in early. His carriage rolled
up to an inn, and he demanded a re
lay of horses to carry him on to the
next station, where he intended to
spend the night. The inn-keeper
entreated him not to proceed, say ing
there was danger in traveling so
late—the wolves were out. But the
nobleman concluded that the man
wanted to keep him as a guest, re
plied lhat it was too early, and or
dered the horses to he put to. He
then drove off with his wile and on
ly daughter, who were in the car
riage with him. On the box was a
serf who had been raised on the no
bleman’s estate, to whom he was
much attached, and who loved his
master as he loved his own life.
They rolled over the hardened stiow,
and there seemed no sign of danger.
The moon shed her pale light, and
brought into burnished silver the
road which they were traveling. At
length the little girl said to her fa
ther :
“What was that strange noise
that l just heard ?”
“Oh, nothing but the wind sighing
through the forest trees,” replied the
father.
The child shut her eyes and was
quiet. But soon she said again—
“ Listen, father, it is not like wind,
I think.”
The father listened, and far, far
away, through the clear, cold, frosty
air, he heard a noise which he knew
too well the meaning of. He then
put down the window and spoke to
the servant: “The wolves, I fear,
are after us ; make haste. Tell the
man to drive faster, and get our pis
tols ready.” The postillion drove
faster. But the same mournful sound
which the child had heard approach
ed nearer and nearer. It was quite
clear that a pack of wolves had
scented them out. The nobleman
tried lo calm the anxious fears of his
wife and child. At last the baying
of the pack was distinctly heard.
So he said lo his servant —
“When they come up with us, do
you single out one, and lire, and I
will single out another ; and while
the restare devouring them, we shall
get on.”
As soon as he had pulled down
the window, he saw the pack in full
cry behind, the large wolf at their
head. Two shots were fired, and
two of the wolves fell. The others
immediately set upon them and de
voured them ; and meanwhile the
carriage gained ground. But the
taste of blood made them more fu
rious, and they were soon up with
the carriage again. Again two shots
were fired, and two more fell and
were devoured. But the carriage
was speedily overtaken, and the
post house was yet far distant. The
nobleman then ordered the postilion
to loose one of his leaders, lhat they
might gain a little time. This was
done, and the poor horse plunged
frantically into the lorest and the
wolves after him, and was torn to
pieces. Then another horse was
sent off to share the same fate. The
carriage labored on as fast as possi
ble with the remaining horses, but
the post-house was still in the dis
tance. At length the servant said
to his master, “I have served you
ever since I was a child; I love you
as well a9 my own self. Nothing
now can save you but one thing.
Let me save you. I ask you only
to look after my wife and little ones.”
The nobleman remonstrated, but
in vain. When the wolves next
came up, he threw himself between
them and the carriage. The pant
ing horses galloped on with the ve
hide, and the gates of the post-house
just closed in upon it, as the fearful
pack were on the point of making
the last attack. But the travelers
were safe.
Next morning they went out and
saw the place where the faithful
servant had been pulled down by
the wolves. His bones were only
there. And on the spot the noble
man erected a wooden pillar on
which is—
“ Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friend, but God commendeth His
love for us, in that while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
The following correspondence is
said to have raken place between a
merchant and one of his customers :
“Sir, your account has been stand
ing lor two years, and I must have
it settled immediately.” Answer—
“ Sir, things usually do settle by
standing; I regret that my account
is an exception. If it has been stand
ing too long, suppose you let it run
a little.” |
“Woman is a delusion, madam,
exclaimed a crusty old bachelor to
a witty young lady. “And man is
always hugging some delusion or
other,” was the quick retort.
Home Reading. —One of the
most pleasant and noblest duties of
the head of the family is to furnish
its members with good reading. In
times which arc past il was consid
ered enough to clothe and feed and
shelter a family. This was the sum
of parental duty. But lately it has
been found out that wives and chil
dren have minds, so lhat it becomes
a necessity lo educate the children
and furnish reading for the whole
household. It has been found out
that the mind wants food as well as
the body, and lhat it wants lo fie
sheltered from the pitiless storms of
error and vice by the guarding and
friendly roof of intelligence and vir
tue.
An ignorant family in our day is
an antiquated institution. It smells
of the musty past. It is a dark spol
which the light of the modern sun
of intelligence lias not reached.
Let good reading go into a home,
and the very atmosphere of that
home gradually but surely changes.
The boys begin to grow ambitious,
to talk about men, places, princi
ples, books, the past and the future.
The girls begin lo feel a r.ew life
opening befote them in knowledge,
duly and love. They see new fields
of usefulness and pleasure. And so
the family changes, and out from its
number will go intelligent men and
women, to fill honorable places and
be useful members of society. Let
the torch of intelligence -he. lit in ev
ery household. Let the old and
young vie with each other in intro
ducing new and useful topics of in
vestigation, and in cherishing a love
of reading, study and improvement.
A Beautiful Thought. —When
the summer of youth is slowly wast
ing away in the nightfall of age, and
the past becomes deeper and deeper,
and life wears to its close, it is pleas
ant to look through the vista of time
upon the sorrows and felicities of
our earlier years. If we have a
home to shelter, and hearts to re
joice with us, and friends have been
gathered together around our fire
sides, then the rough places of war
faring will have been worn and
smoothed away, in the twilight of
life, while many dark spots we have
passed through will grow brighter
and more beautftul. Happy indeed
are those whose intercourse withnhe
world has not changed the tone of
their holier feelings, or broken those
musical chords of the heart, whose
vibrations are so melodious, so ten
der and touching in the evening of
life.
An Indiana clergyman tells this:
One of his parishioners dreamed that
in walking through a certain pasture
he came upon a rattlesnake at the
foot of a particular tree, and lhat it
bit and killed him. In the morning
he told his dream, concluded to go
to the pasture, and there, beside the
path at the foot of the half-rotted
tree, lay coiled a large rattlesnake.
Seizing a stick, he struck at the
snake, but his foot slipped and be
fell, and the reptile bit him upon the
cheek. He hastened home, nearly
a quarter of a mile distant, and
there, two hours later, he died in
great agony.
An old bachelor recently gave the
following toast: “Woman—the mor
ning star of infancy, the day star ol
manhood, and the evening star of
age. Bless our stars, and may they
always be kept at telescopic dis
tances.”
A good conscience is better than
two witnesses —it will consume your
grief as the sun dissolves ice. It is
a spring when you are thirsty—a
staff when you are weary, a screen
when the sun burns, a pillow in
death.
Story with a Moral. —.An exchange
tells the following story of a boy who
was sent from Grotou, Conn., with a hag
of green corn to sell. The boy was
gone all day, and rsturned with tho bag
unopened, which he dumped on tho
floor, saying:
“There’s your corn; go and sell it; I
can’t.”
“Sold any ?”
“No, I’ve been all over New London
with it, and no body said anything con
cerning green corn. Two or three fel
lows asked mo what I had in my bag,
and I told them it was uone of their
business what it was !”
This boy is not unlike hundreds of
business men, who will probably call
him a fool for not telling what he had to
sell. They are actually doing the same
thing on a much larger scale than did
the boy, by not advertising in the papers
The way to make busiuess brisk is to
advertise. If yon have anything to sell,
let the public know all about it, and
then respectfully invite them to pur
chase. If you introduce any new thing,
advertise it. And when you do adver
tise, don’t do it as though you were
ashamed to let the publio know you were
engaged in business. Let year adver
tising be constant and untiring. Fast
one method then another, until your
name and business becomes a household
word in every family lor miles around.
When you do this, success will have
been accomplished.

Ku-Klux Diabolism—Eleven Pregnant
Facts brought to Light by the Congres
sional Investigating Committee—lts
Democratic Paternity, its HiUish Era
lares and Party Purpose.
The Congressional Committee inves
tigating the Ku-Klux villainy—a sub
committee in Washington, and another
sub-committee in South Carolina—have
now been in daily session more than
two mouths, and have had before them
many scores of witnesses from all sec
tions of the late insurrectionary States
(men of both high and humble station.)
presiding elders, preachers, ex-members
of the Federal Congress and ex mem
bers of the Confederate Congress, ex
gencrals of both armies, governors, and
ex-governors, judges, solicitors, sheriffs,
revenue officers, officers of tho army,
postmasters, school teachers, repentant
and uon-repentant members of Ku-Klux
lvlans, and dozens of their maimed and
suffering victims, black and white.
And what has ibis patient and thorough
investigation established, and established
beyond all future cavil aud questiou ?
These atrocious facts :
1. That in all the late insurrectiona -
ry States, and generally diffused, tl.o’
not found in every county, is an oath
bound secret organization, working only
at night, and its members always in dis
guise, with officers, signs, signals, pass
words, grips, and all the necessary par
aphernalia, v. .th the pledged and sworn
purpose of putting down the Ilepublican
and put liny up the Democratic party ;
known in different localities among the
initiated '.y different names, but every
where recognized by the general cogno
men “Ku-Klux.”
2. That the organization came into
being a few months previous to the last
Presidential election, during which can
vass it was in its most vigorous condi
tion, but is now through nil the South,
with more efficient discipline and effec
tive direction than ever, reviving in
preparation for the next Presidential
campaign, when, they told one of their
victims in Tennessee a few weeks since,
“no and and Radical voting is to be al
lowed in any Southern State, by black
or white-”
3. That this Ku-Klux organization is
the premeditated and determined scheme
for carrying the South at the next elec
tion for President, and so, by securing
the entire electoral vote of that sec
tion, make sure the election of the Dem
ocratic nominee.
4. That the officers and establishes of
these “Dens” (as they appropriately call
their separate bands) are tho leading
and active Democratic politicians of the
South.
5. That tho scheme has the hearty
good-will of a large section of the Dem
ocratic Party in all those States, and the
acquiescence of nearly the entire Party.
6. That the direct and chief purpose
of the organization, as sworn by all the
Victims, as the assertion uniformly made
to them by these midnight assassins,
and corroborated by the universal testi
mony of the repentant and divulging
members of the Order, is this : The put
ting down of the Republican, and the
putting up of the Democratic P tty.
7. That while the Democratic and
Ku-Klux witnesses on their direct ex
amination usually deny the political pur
pose of the Order, asserting that the Kn-
Klux are a social necessity growing out
of the abolition of the old Patrol ; that
(hoy have to ride the country to “keep
the niggers in heir place;” that “un
der the influence of Radical Legislation
and Methodist Preaching, the niggers
are liable to become saucy,” anil with
out an occasional Ku-Klux visit, would
‘tbegin to think themselves as good as
white folks;” and that these frequent
floggings. *ud an occasional murder, are
necessary to maintaiu such a state of
morals among the blacks as will permit
the vice hating whites to live in their
neighborhood ; yet, on the cross-exam
ination, these witnesses also very gener
ally, as well as reluctantly, confess that
the intimidation of Ilepublican voters is
a prominent and not to be regretted re
sult.
8. That to secure this purpose, the
putting down of the Republican and the
putting up of the Democratic party. In
timidation is tho grand measure—the in
timidation of Republican vo'ers, black
and white, but especially the humble
and defenceless, by midnight raids ; by
burning houses and stores, and the de
struction of crops by whippings of such
extreme cruelty as often to end in death;
by most indecent and painful maiming;
by assas-inaiiion and murder in such
cowardly msuuer, and with such hellish
device as may strike terror into whole
counties, and bring down the Republi
can vote liorn two or three thousand to
less than a siugle dozen.
9. .That “school teachers,” and the
‘fPreachers of the Methodist Church
North,” seem to be the especial abhor
eoce of these Democratic assassins; and
hundreds of 001-houses and Methodist
Uhurches have been given to the flames ;
and Christendom will stand aghast when
it is made known the scores of school
teachers and Methodist Preachers, who,
by this Democratic agency, within these
three years, have been whipped 1 shot!
No. 18.
| hung ! and, iii some instances, it is be*
! lievcd, burned at the stake !
10. That in nearly one half the States
of the Union this work of bell is now
going on, night by nigbt—every month
extending the range of its bloody opera
tions, and fearfully multiplying the
number of its victims.
11. That it is solely and immediately
in tbe service of the Democratic party,
a large portion of the party Sontb heart
ily approving, large numbers of the par*
ty North attempting its palliation by ex
cuse, and its shelter from scorn by cov
ering up or denying its crimes, as if
Cowardly assassination could be palliated,
and brutal murder excused, and tbe
Democratic party throughout tbe land,
rejoicing in its promise of help. So, ei
ther by open and acknowledged action,
or by tho no less ciioiinal and tbe more
cowardly participation of extenuating and
shielding the crime, the party. North and
South, become before the people and be
fore God equal sharers in tho responsi

Out of the mouth of more than two
hundred witnesses is every syllable of
this established ; and more than teu
thousand shroudless dead, from bidden
placos by wayside, in swamp and moun
tain, and from sleepless ashes of fired
homes, shout their ghastly Amen !
A single instance of these thousand
outrages perpetrated upon an American
citizen, on foreign soil, would bethought
ample cause for war; aud our entire
Navy would hasten to enforce the Na
tion’s indignation. And such abuse as
is daily meted out to these humble Meth
odist preachers, if offered one of our
Missionaries on heathen ground, would
arouse the whole American church until
every mind was laden with demands for
"Protection.”
The thanks of all citizens who love
Right and hate Rapine are due the faith
ful men of this Committee, who, forget
tiug their own ease, have so industrious
ly devoted these hot months to the un
earthing of this giant villainy.
Christian men of our country ! Hu
mane men ! All decant men, we appeal
to you ! Is a party worthy of life in this
land which soeks supremacy through
such hell-born measures ?
The Storm in Savannah —Wharves
and S/rccis Submerged. —The Savannah
papers of Sunday contain full accounts
of the effects of the storm in that city,
which show them to luve been more
disastrous to property than even the
tempest of September Bth, 1554. Streets
were inundated, cellars flooded, whole
plantations submerged, houses unroofed,
and in some cases blown down, and ma
ny thousand dollars of damage done to
the city itself and to the growing crops
in the vicinity. The public works a
bout tbe city are said to be damaged to
tbe extent of one hundred thousand dol
lars. The main sewer building, on East
Broad Street, a canal near tbe Thunder
bolt shell road, and several drains were
torn up for huudreds of feet, destroying
months of labor. The Springfield plan
tation, and Lamar's, Lawton’s, and other
farms, were completely submerged, and
the crops on those places rendered a to
tal loss. Culverts and embankments
were swept away on tbe Central, Atlan
tic and Gulf, and Savannah, Skidaway
aud Seaboard Railroads, causing serious
losses aud much detention of trains.
The large cotton warehouse of Dr. Clark,
ou tbe corner of West Broad and Brough
ton streets, which had just been com
pleted, was damaged to the extent of
$12,000, by the wat.-r flooding tbe inner
cellar to the height of the flooring, and
three steam fire engines were employed
at puinpiug it out. Along some parts of
the water front tbe tide rose four feet
above the wharves, and large quantities
ol lumber, cotton, &c,, were floated off
and lost. A large number of cattle pas
turing in tbe fields and bottoms below
the ci>y also got afloat, and many of
them were diowned. The two brick
yards on the canal, and the saw mill of
Butler & Chadwick, each suffered many
hundred dollars damage by the flood. In
addition to these specific cases of dam
age which they report, the Savannah
papers state that the most substantial
residences facing the North were flood
ed. The streets looked like one sea,
and the winds howled and roared, tear
ing away everything exposed to their
fury. The perfectly flood
ed, aud in some of the city the
water stood two or three feet deep in
the principal thoroughfares. Boats of
light draft were paddling about the eity,
aud one account speaks of several per
sons taking a swim around the Baptist
Church. — Chronicle If Sentinel.
