What Was His Other Name?—As Ar
tenuis WurrJ was once traveling in the cars
driading to l,e bored and feeling miserable,
a man approa bed him, sat and wn and said ;
“E>id you hear that last thing on Iluruce
Greelej
“Greeley? said Artemus.
“Il'Tftce Greeley ? Who is he?”
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty Soon he said :
“George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of a row over in England and » you
think they will put him in a bastile?”
“Train, Train. George Francis Train,”
said Artemus solemnly, “I never beard of
him.”
Thi« .gnorance kept the man quiet for
fifteen minutes, then he said :
‘ W hat do you think about General
Grant’s chances for the Presidency. Do
you think they will run him ?”
“Grant, Grant! hang it, man,” said Ar
temus, ‘you appear to know more strangers
than any man I ever saw.”
The man was furious; he walked up the
car hut at last came hack and said :
“You confounded ignoramus, did you
ever hear of Adam ?”
Artemus looked up and said:
“What was his other name?”
Hints to B vs and Girls—l. Never
look over another person when he is writing
a letter, or reading that which dues not
concern you
2 Never enter another’s room abrubtly.
Have you special business, knock gently at
the door or ask permission to enter
3. Never select the best article of food at
table. Wait till you are helped. Be mod
est, polite, temperate.
4 Never ask trifling or foolish questions,
or inquire about th.ngs with which you
are already familiar. “A fool’s voice is
known by a multitude of words. ’*
5. Never speak utiless you have some
thing tn say—think twice before you speak
once. “In the multitude of words there
wanteth not sin ; but he that relraineth his
lips is wise.”
6. Never dissemble, feign yoUrself sick,
or asleep, or unwell, to avoid correction of
some unpleasant thing. This is a species (if
lying, for which the Lord will not hold you
guiltless. “Keep thy tongue from evil,and
thy iips from spoaking guile.” “Put away
from thee a forwaid mouth and perverse
lips put far from thee.” L\iug lips are an
abomination to tin* L rd ”
flow' He Paid e-r It. —A tall, green
looking youth stepped into a village grocery
where they keep something to eat and drink,
and after peering about a iittle, *pied some
ginger cakes. Said he to the grocer :
“Them’s mighty flue cakes; what’s the
lea*t you will take for one of 'em ?”
“Ten cents.”
“Well, I believe I’ll take one if you will
wrap it up right good ”
The grocer wrapped up the cake and
banded it to him He looked at it awhile
and said :
*T don’t believe I want this c*ke after
all. Won’t you swap me adri k for it ?”
“Yes,” said the grocer, as he took hack
(he c-tke and handed him a glass of some
thing.
The young mati swallowed the liquor and
started off
“Hold on,” said the grocer, “you havn’r
paid me for my drink.”
“I swapped you the cake for the drink ”
“But you havrrt paid ine for tho cake.”
“You’ve got the cake.”
This last retort so nonplussed the grocer
that he stood and scratched his puzzled
head, while the young man made good bis
retreat.
I Feel it Pull — lr* trm deepening twi
light ot a Summer’s evening, a past >r called
at a residence of one of his parishioners,
and found seated in the doorway a little boy
with hands extended upward, holding a
line. “What you are doing here, my iittle
friend?” inquired the minister.
“Flying my kite, sir,” was the prompt
refdv
‘‘Flying your kite 1” exclaimed the pas
tor. “I can see no kite —you cun see none.”
“I cannot see it, hut 1 know it is there,
for i feel it pull ”
A few years hack the angels came nnd
bore far above us, out of sight, one that was
very dear to us all. The attachment of our
heart, was not broken. We loved her while
here, we h-vc her still. She loved us while
in the flesh. We arc sure that she loves us
none the less in her new condition. Rising
higher and still higher in the heaven of
heavens, we feel her influence. She is with
Christ, and attracted be gentle influences,
we are tending toward her peaceful home,
with the prospect of the same .glorious
companionship.
Hand-Shaking —liuw did the people
in the habit of shaking hands ? The answer
is not far to seek. In early barbarous
tunes, hen every savage nnd semi-savage
was his own law giver. Judge, soldier, and
policeman, and, had to watch over hi- own
saliy, !■ default of all other protection, to
frien sand acquaintances or rwo t 'angers
desirit g to he friends or acquaintance,
when (hey chanced to meet, offered the
other the right—the hand alike of offense
and difference, the hand that wiCids the
sword, the dagger, the club, the tomahawk,
or other weapons of war. Each did this to
show that tfie hand was empty, and neither
war nor treachery was Intended. A man
cannot well stab another when he is in the
mt of shaking hand* with him, unless fie
be a double dyed trator and viliian. and
strives to aim a cowardly blow with the
left while giving the eight and pretending
to be id good terms with h?s victim.
“Georgs, wnat does c-a-t speli ?”
“Don’t know, sir.”
“Wout dues your mother keep to catch
A • |
mice T
“No. no ; what animal ifi very fond of
milk?”
“A baby, sir.”
“Y >u dunce, what scratched your sister’s
face r
“My nails, sir.”
“I’m out of patience. There do you
know that animal on the fence?”
“Yes. sir ,y
“Th£n, teil what c-a-t spells.”
“Kitten, sir.”
The Swis- People —The scenery stamps
its charac eristics dn the rural population,
and even on the animals of the Swiss.
There is an innocent simplicity in the hab
its and manners of this people that marks
them as the un«.*phi>tiCated Children of
nature whose Wants are few, and whose
contentment is c mp ! ete in the duties and
pastimes of their mountain homes? They
plant their little gardens or dress their
vineyards ; they watch th»ir flocks or gather
the grass upon the mountain slope and in
th« valleys, they hackle and s» in their fl u;
they fish in the lakes and rivers ; they hunt
the chamois; they enter ain and guide the
stranger { and they intersperse their days
and nights with legend and song until there
is neither fatigue in their toils nor ennui
in their solitude. Their horses and fl >eks
follow them with an instinct ak n to friend
ly Confidence; and the gre.rt haggv dog
that paces theyard. or lies on the threshold,
looks at you with a calm intelligence, which
seems to say. If l had the gilt of speech
like you, being of a higher grade, between
the angels and the brutes, I could tell you
all that is vouchsafed for any brute to know
af the ends of life and service.” There is
a striking difference between the Swiss
communities and any others to be met with
on the continent of Europe
Girls. — It is in toe power of young girls
to make themselves v»*rv dear and very
useful to their married friends, and to r
der them such services as are b> yond all
price In times of sickness and of sorrow,
the sympathy and presence of a beloved
female triend are among the best of heaven’s
gifts ; while she who min sters to the afflict
ed, is as much blessed as blessing. L-‘f ho
yonng person stay away from a friend who
is ili or in affliction, from the fear that her
inexperience will render her c mpany un
desirable; all who have strong affections,
and a ready power of sympathy, can make
themselves acceptable, and. in endeavoring
to do so, will increase their own happiness.
Never let mere convenience induce you to
stay at the houses-of persons whom you
you cannot esteem ; by so uoing, vup bring
on yifurself an irfe-mne obligation ; you take
on yourself the duties of a friend, without
having the sentiments that would make
their discharge easy.
Management of tTiii.pken —There can,
I toink, t e rn greater di-aster in the home,
no greater mistake in the attempt to man
age a family, than the failure of the two
parents to make their authority absolutely
one. The household in which, f..r any
reason or from any cause, a conflict of
authority exists, is the saddest of sights to
one who wishes weli to children. There
should be earnest Conference between pa
rents concerning tne best methods and
objects; there shun and be perfect unanimity
tn the general system of management
adopted by them. It is unspeakably better
to make some mistakes in unison, than t<*
et the minds of children get confused as to
whom t ley shall obey L>‘t the father and
mother speak with one voice, if they wish
the voice of either to fie respected Appeals
fr on one to the other should never be
permitted. Where this is lalowed, wretch*
od t less ot many kinds ensues, and manage
ment gives place to misinarnigerr ent. —J K
Abbott , in Herot<l rtf Health.
A Mothers Influence —ilow touching
is this tribute of II »n T. 11 Denton, to his
mother’s influence; “My mother asked me
never to use tobacco ; I have never touched
it from that time to the present day. She
asked me never to gamble, and I have never
gambled ; I cannot tell who is losing in
that are being played. Shp admon
ished me, too, against hard drinking ; and
whatever capacity for endurance I Lave at
present, and whatever usefulness I have
attained through life, l have attributed to
having complied with her pious and Correct
wishes. When I was seven years of age
she asked me not to drink, and then I made
a resolution of total abstinence ; and that I
have adhered to it through all time ; 1 owe
to my mother ”
Words for tue \ ■ UNO —Y ung friends,
education is to y.m what polish and refine
ment is to the rude diamond: In its rude
state, the diamond resembles a stone, or
piece of charcoal ; but when cut and manu
factured, it comes out a bright and beautiful
diamond, and is sold at a great price So
it i* with you. Education calls f..r■ h tin*
fiidden treasures and latent brilliances of
your minds, which previou-ly lie dormant
and inactive, or. in other words, asleep
It cultivates and develops your understand
ings, ami fits and prepares you for the
duties and responsibilities of coming years,
which, vre trust, will be years of usefulness

The Col umhns Son says : The old Board
of Directors <'f the Georgia [I one Insurance
Company, of Columbus, were re-elected on
the 20th inst. A dividend of five per o°nt.
was also declared. Tin* cotton factories of
Columbus are crowdel with orders. The
thought is a happy one, that the entire
capital in the manufactories of C dumbos
was furnished by the South, and is still
owned by our people. Our mills are now
running 30,000 spindles and over 1,000
looms and consume over ten bales of cotton
per day. They have already taken over
twic3 as much cotton as to same date last
year. We learn, reliably, that the Bain
bridge, Cuthbert and C* lumbus Rail road
has been levied on by the Sheriff of Deca
tur county, and is to be sold on the first
Tuesday in February to satisfy liens on the
roa 1 in favor of Harris Sc Brown. Mr.
Bruton, the Ex-Prcsideut arid now one of
the Directors, has abandoned all hope of
the entei prise under existing affairs, but
believes the ruad wili be bu It on account
of the work expended upon it and the aid
(fffered by the State in the charter. This is
one of the roa Is of which 11. I Kimball
was President.
