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 Statesman. 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. ' That our readers may see the shifts to which the Radical party is driven in the North and West to save their rotten ship from sinking, we append the following motceau, which they are scattering broad cast over the land, in their dying strug gle. It needs no comment from us. It carries the lib from beginning to end, and none but a fanatic or fool, could be deceived by it.

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 bility. 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. A New Jersey editor has announced the death of his ancle in Australia, leav\ ing him a gold mine and $400,000.
