[Written fer the Nevrcjfc Farmer ] LIGHTS IMG WARES. . Bright and cheering the sattliine is - When it gleam, at mom4e turret and spire— When it stretches its gtai, 'h gems e'er the f »eai' J" And lights up prairies w*h glints of its fire. Whe.p it shoeti its long rtff .of penciled light At6ws&t the still gloom W forest glades, And paints roseate hues owiall topped trees, As tine dusky glpom «f drapenod foliage iadeso. f How all nature seems tn have waked from death, i When it scatters away*re death pall of night, When arousing, the air is full of sweet sounds, And the air is full of love-teaming light. When embattled hosts are drawn up iu array, The sun iu its splendor around them throws A halo of glory that reflects from their steel On hearts that grow fearless in front of their foes. But there 1& a light that shines afar Like the mild radiance of a gleaming star That gives more light to the human soul Than sunlight can give to the changing world. And that light pervades the whole being, And lights up coriiders that the eye wanes in seeing; "Tis religion, a light, that heara on its face. The impress of its God who dwells in limitless space. ***** When evening shades begin to streUli their spectral forms Ac/.-oss t'ne fields around the cot / tage homes, Ajnd woodland voices still to As day and all its varied charms Gone ! the sun with all its beaming light, The sky liai lost its purple with the night, And the lone felon in his dungeon cell Finds ail about him dark and drear and still. And all is dusk and gloom and shade Save i hat the sky is thick inlaid Within, riaj stars that give a fitful glare, And now aud then a meteor biases through llie air. Man ceases from his toil and sits around his hearth, Or deep in slumber .forgets of worldly cares of earth ; So nature sleeps and the cold stars keep their guard O’er the kingly couch and the lamb upon the sward. But there Is a night whose shades are gloomier still Than any night time here, and by far more chill, And that is\vlien.all hopes of Heaven are fled, And man is left alone with death, despair end dread. * * * A Beautiful Incident. In the cathedral of Limerick there ha Dgs a chime of bells which were cast in Italy by an enthusiast in his trade, who fixed his home near the monastery where they were first bung, that he might daily enjoy their sweet and solemn music. In some political revolution the bells were taken away to some distant land, and the maker himselt became a ref. ugee and exile. HU wanderings brought him after many years, to Ireland. On a calm and beautiful evening, the vessel which bore him floated on the placid bosom of the Shannon—suddenly the evening chimes pealed from the cathedral towers, His practiced ear caught the sweet sound, and he knew that his lost treasures were found. His early, his old friends, his beloved native land all the best associations oi his life, were in those sounds.— He la>d himself back in the boat, crossed bis arms upon his breast and listened to the music. The boat reached the whart, but still he lay there silent and motionless. Tney spoke to him but he did not answer. They went to him, but his spirit had fled. The tide of memories that came vibrating through his heart at the well-known chime had snapped its string ! It was this incident that suggest ed to Moore his song of the ‘-Bivens ing Bell,” As Moore is not so much read now as he used to be a quarter of a century ago, we reprint the linos, as they may not be familiar to soma of young readears; . Those evening bells, those evening bells— How many a taletheir music tells, Os youth aud bone, and that sweet time When last I hoard their soothing chime. Those joyous hours have passed away, And many a heart that then was • gay ■ Within the tomb new darkly dwells And hear no more those evening- bells. Thus ’Swill be when I am gone That tuneful peal shall still' ring on, And'other bards shall wail the de Is Aud sing thy praise sweet evening hells. .AN ESSAY, Delivered ’ before' Battle Oak Lodge No., 25-5, I. O. G. T. [CQRUBSBONDEXCE.] Mr. R. J.

H. and C,, Nicholas Diehl, " J. J. Keith, S. W. Roheuts. Bros. Diehl, Keith and Roberts : Gentlemen— l ''appreciate the honor the Lodge confers upon me through you, but I appreciate more fully their object in a-king the pub lication of my humble Ess tv. If in any way it may be productive of good and destructive of 0 ;il, I wiil be 00 npenstted ; and bo it under stood 1 hat I atiaek no individual, b t all alike who come within th - circumference of my rema-ks. Granting the request, I am, gentlemen and brothers, Most respectfully yours. It. J.

I am prou I to-night that I have the ho :or 10 be associated with an order that is so pure in its pur poses, so politic in its progress and practices, and s> unirammeleu b, party spirit, political fee.ing, or de sire of public prais ■: being sit sfieti to reach up and bring into its wel come embrace the h gh b>rn. or to reach down and lift up from the mire the poverty stricken creature, who in his rags, wretchedness and de baucheries has perchance forgot his God, and a'mosi driven away th-' remembrance of a mother’s prayers, and the phantom of her tear-stained face. I say that lam pro'id that I belong to the order, and we should all be, for it s rikes at the root of an evil that is to-day holding sway over more right 1 >yal subjects than ihe Queen of England and the Emerald Isle, or the l imed Kmg William (f Germany, or any other poientate that sways a sceptre or that wears a diadem. What is the evil and what are the effects it is producing ? The evil, in plain language, is liquor and the love of it. And under the head of liquor a myriad of drinks and beverages, with as many name3 and euphoneous titles as the merx chant and manufacturer has brands for his tobacco and cigars, and one diftering from another only, that each in its distance from the best, gets meaner and meaner still, aud each retrograde brings it into a still more circumscribed compass, until we have what is called, and proper ly called, ‘‘popskull,” These beverages are dealt out aU over our land by human hands, and men drink them and pay down their money for them, and both parties are satisfied—the one that he is do ing a lawful and legitimate business, (God save the rnaik) and the other that he is in no and inger—and yet all the while he is neiring a vortex that is as de*p as hades, with the syren whispering in his ear the soft tnuen does of safety, until he is where he cannot retrace his misguided steps. And yet we find plenty of men who say it is a good thing in its place.— Why it is the mildew of good soci- ety —it is the canker worm of happi ness and the mother of poverty, woe and wretchedness. It dethrones reason, and is the arch enemy of ed ucation and enlightenment. If a man sirayly ruin himself, blight his own prospects, ami debase his own physical and intellectual energy and strength, it were but a s nail thing, anp of little consequence com paratively speaking, but when we attempt to calcula'e the injury of his example, the neglected mental, reli gious or even moral training of his offspring, when we see the avenues he leaves open, and through which his tsirild.reri, and his children’s cfpl jdren trail in the habiliments of igno jrance and sin, we shudder at the mere thought of Jfs being a good thing in its placed Why, (here is no calcinating, even in a measure, the broad sweep of that it fakes, for it reaches from sea to sea and irom shore to shore,, and scatters its poison and sfitne wherever it reaches.—- To attempt to trace its track of rot tenness and ruin were to attempt to keep pace with a tornado. But they tell us, “why I am not going to meke a dog bi myself—l drink it because it does rt e no litrtn —I don’t drink enough of it to hurt.” The question naturally arises, do you drink enough to do you any good—does it make you a hear ier, It ulihier„more vigorous man—does it make you more fit to transact bus-" in ss —is ynur h-ad cooler and your reasoning powers more vigorous ? Does wa king up to the b tr and tak ing a drink make you feel to a g eat or extent the strength, beamy aud tri umph of your manhood? You have a son grown, perhap?. Do you ever show him how manly a practice it is by asking hint up to t ike a drink with you—give hi n a toast, which, ofc>n se, would be out of place it it did not word to suit the occasion ? There are few fathers who would like for their sons to see them at a bir drinking and toasting with men that they would warn th-m (their hoys) agains’ associating with. Here is the evil in a great measure. That drink which is so essential brings you an I that intem perate neighbor of yours where you are, in common politeness, obliged to be “hail fellows well mei.” And do you know that you are telling hun by your actions that you ap prove his course ? Aud do you know that he argues with your son to drink wi ll hull, saying, “ why there is "110 iu it—your father has been (Lifting ever since I can re member, anil he is as sober a man as we have.” I tell you it is a viper that when it- king- Wiil poiso:>-^B^^^i ne;S 0 f y ou , brightest hea tln^^^k It may be a j n -,| S place—l don’t deny the assee-Jon But where is its place ? When w--1 look over the list ol crimes perpetra I ted—crimes that in darkness, enormity a id incredulous, were it : see written under them dallible and significant the word ‘in temperance’ we would be astounded. The list of ignorance, want an I woe vvou'd equally astound us if the same significmt words did not peer on us Irom the escutcheon of theii ragged banners. But where it ex ists we are not surprised, tor it and they are “cheek by jowl” cronies, and go hand in h tnJ. But brothers and sisters, it is not necessary fu me to weary you with wh it you all kno .v and see every day and what the outside world knows as well as we do. Let us strive as we hive done only with mire persistence to check in a 1 honorable ways the fell destroyer. We have in Qur order some ot the best and noblest and most praiteworihy citizens of the county who are with th’e might of their right arm striking terror into the camp of the “Philistines.” But there are good and noble men out side of our ranks that would be an honor to any order or to any society ; but not these alone—from the low est to the highest let our arms be outstretched to take them in, and to weiomethe n, and in com non to wage war upon intemperance, and by a united and continue 1 example, and unrelaxed energy and co-opera tion to make our order a vast imple- ment ot destruction to the enemy. Why, there is not a nobler obj-C' than we have under the sun, it is to make men rational and exlesmcd who haxe thrown away their indi vidual respect, and their respect for the loved ones. It is to make the dull eye of the neglected wife bright with happiness an I hope, and bring back to her the antitype of her youth ful days and her youug love—and to bring new roses and cause them t-» twine themselves about the doorway and lend their bright colors to the cheek *f childhood and. inno cence, It is to make joy and plenty household pats, where want and woe reveled in rags. It is to stand as a beacon light to warn the unwa* ry and the young to turn their foot* steps ere they plant them on the quicksands that will suck them into their seductive embrac s. At a'l times we would say, and under all circumstances, be not harsh but kind and persuasive. By a cut ting remark or a sneer you may drive farther away, ins ead of drawtag, as you wish, under the broad canopy of Jovo and reform that reaches over us, the erring ones. And to our good sisters, in con clusion, I would sty that you are with us in the work heart and hand, | aud .as we do not undervalue your NO. 39 1 indispensable labqjrs, and your far out reaching capacities to do good and accomplish much in the cause, we beg you not to relax your efforts or undervalue your capabilities, lor your influence with, us as well as with the outside clement that we are all combatting, will be convincing and great, as it always has been, it will always be. Thanking you all. for vonr kind attention and beg ging you to accept my wishes for ■ your future happiness and the con | tinued prosperity of our common Lodgf, I submit my remarks. A Bsautif A Thought. When the su inner of youth is slowly wasting away on t lie night fall of age, and the slndow ol the tin? path become deeper and and deeper, and life wears to its close, it js pleasant to look through the vista pt.time upon the sorrows aud lei cities of- our earlier years. — If we have a home to shelter and hearts to rejoice with us, and friends have he 11 gathered around tuir fire sides, the rough places of wmfaring will bo wrrn and smoothed awky in the twilight cf life, the many \u - k spots we have pa ; sed through will gfo.w brighter and more Happy, indeed, are those whose ir.-». tercouf-e with the world has n>t N changed the tone of tW-ir holier feel, ing or broken those musical chords ol the heart whose vibrations are so melodious, so, tender ands > touching in the evening of their jife- A farmer In Louisa county, \ a., one nirtht recently, hearing a noise about bis corn house, went out with a double-barrelled shot gun. and see ing negro, bred killing him instantly. Upon examination lie discover, and that the mat, he shot at was sitting upon a lever which bid been insert in a crack, and the house b ulily lilted up, while two others were be neath, g ttiug out the corn. As the man fell from the lever the house ,1-losed dowp upon the unfortunate iw, >„v, OS) uu( ] crushed the life out of | them. A HtehmspcHErTOitowTr It was 8) dry wo could’t spare water to put in our whisky. The grass was so dry that every time the wind blew it flew around like so much ashes. There wasn’t a tear sheJ at a fu neral for a month. The sun dried up all the cattle, and burnt olf the hair till they looked like Mexican dogs, and the sheep all like poodle puppt s, they shrink up so. V/e had to soak all our hogs to make ’em lipid swill, and if any cat tle were killed in the morning, they’d be dried beef at dark. The woods and ied up so that the farmers chopped seasoned timbers all through August, and there ain’t a match through all the country —in fact, no wedding since the widiw Glenn married old Baker, three months ago. What tew grasshoppers are left are all skin and legs,rpnl I didn’ hear a tsa-ketile sing tor six months. We eat our potatoes baked, they being all ready, and we couldn’t spare water to boil ’pm. All the red-headed girls were afraid to stir out ol the houses in daylight, and I tell you, 1 was afraid the devil had moved out ot his old home and settled down with us for life. Why, tv(B had to haul water all summer to keep the ferry running, and—say, it’s getting dry; let’s take sutliin. Chapped Hands. —The easiest and simplest re nedy is fount in every one’s kitchen closet, and is nothing more than common starch. Reduce it to an impalpable powder and put il in a muslin bag ; keep it itj the table drawer. Whenever you take your hands out of the dish-wa ter or soap-suJs wipe thm dry with a soft towel, and while yet damp shake ilia starch-bag all over them and rub it in. if he effect is most agreeable. A Word to the Wise is Sufficient. From well-considered returns made to this department, J, think I am luliy warranted in giving the opinion, that more than half of the farmers in Georgia do not raise meat enough io supply their ftlmilies ; that fruit and poultry are generally considered unprotitaule; that sheep raising has been largely abandoned fora number of years past, and that very few, co iiparatively, are raising horses and mule j.—Da.
