The lialenel and Trce-Kcvlscd
Some four years ago Henry was a
hoy attending school at a female ac
ademy, and lie prevailed upon Hon.
.J!iii Ford il ou.se, now member of
Congress, says an exchange, to write
him a speech for examination day;
and lie spoke iL so manlike that ho
was greeted with rounds of applause,
and recognized as a worthy son of
the great Smith family:
Vou’il scarce expect one of my size
To meet the gaze of a thousand eyes—
And if by chance my foot should slip,
Just hold me level and let me t ip.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow—
But then, the acorns had to go slow,
And feel the rustle of many a breeze
Before they grew to be great big t rees.
This making of speeches is tolerably tough,
But I’m a broth of a boy and up to snuff—
All great orators had to begin,
So i ’ll roll up my breeches and just wade in.
If I get into water over my height,
I’ll swim to the shore or sink oiit of sight.
The theme I’ve selected your thoughts to employ
Is a story I’ve read of a good little boy,
Who told the truth always, regardless of switch
es,
Ever si tiee he was large enough to put on his
breeches.
His father had bought' him a nice little hatchet,
No boy In the country had one that could match
It.
Thus armed and equipped with liis weapon bran
new,
He went out to sec how his hatchet would do.
Now the old man had planted a favorite tree
And pruned it and nursed It, expeettng to see
Its branches bend some day under the weight
Of as Beautiful apples as ever man ate.
And roaming about one bright summer day,
Chopping on everything that came In his way,
liis father’s young apple tree George did espy.
When he plunged in his hatchet and made me
chips 11 y.
Next day an the old man was walking about ,
He saw that liis apple tree had gone up the
spout.
He swelled ’t ill Ins boilers had very near burst,
And some people think the old gentleman curs
ed ;
But this is not so, for he soon ascertained
That he couldn’t do it justice, and never com
plained.
But lie called up his son and asked him if he
Knew who liau been chopping his nice apple
tree.
George looked at the tree and the marks or his
* hatchet;
He saw he was treed and thought may be he’d
catch it.
He paused for a moment, and thus he began
To make a Hank movement upon the old man:
“I did it father—l can’t tell a lie—
Your dutiful son far sooner would die.”
The old man surrendered—he caught up his boy
In a gush of delight and a transport of joy;
And It seemed as Ills bosom with gratitude filled
The old fellow was glad that liis tree had been
killed.
George grew up to manhood; the trumpet of
Game,
To far distant regions had sounded Ills name;
And wherever has llowed the stream of Ills glory
It has borne on its bosom this apple-tree story.
But lie never reported the mischief, you see,
’Till the old man discovered the death of the
tree,
And had the “dead wood” on liiin, plain as your
nose,
When ’twas safer by far the plain truth to dis
close.
Had lie added a lie to the mischief lie had done
He knew that liis father would whip him like
lun.
There was really no place for a falsehood to
stick,
And he came down with the truth, like a thous
and of brick.
: estraight-jacket parents, accustomed to whip
Your dear little boys for each t rivial slip—
Whenever you will the experiment try—
And. instead of the truth theywlll tell you a lie.
Now t he fat her of George be It Said to liis praise
Made allowance for boys and their rollicking
ways,
And preferred that liis tree should wither and
die
'Bather than George should tell him a lie.
Where’s the boy that loves trvth, and its value
so weighs
That he’ll wade through a flogging to tell It al
ways?
Assure as there's t rut h In my scattering verse,
such remarkable boys are remarkably scarce.
The St Louis Republican, in sum
ming up the recent bank panic finds
that not one single bank with rea
sonable capital, doing a regular and
legitimate business, is included in
the list of recent failures, unless it be
the Butchers* and Drovers, and even
that had a capital totally out of pro
portion to the large amount of dopos
its it at one time carried, and whose
withdrawal precipitated the suspen
sion. The real business element of j
St. Louis lias not been affected, and
the banks that are the custodians and
agents of this element are not only
as sound as they were three months
or twelve month ago. but are mater
ially stronger. Aot one of the re
cently suspended hanks possessed a
paid-up capital of $>150,000, and
some of them had only $50,000 ;
vet of sitch small amounts of capital
as this they had carried deposits of
$500,000. "and even $1.000,000 —
cliicily the savings of a class oi per
sons who know nothing about the
solvency of moneyed institutions and
select a bank merely because it is
nearest to them, or the president or
cashier is a popular personage.

THOMASTON. GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 4. 1877.
A BUTTERFLY,
I set upon my sunny porch,
This morning, crirp and bright,
To warm me in the sun’s bright rays,
And listen to the tuneful lays,
Of warblers in their flight.
High up, where cedars arch the nato,
A bright-plumed Girdling swings,
Swayed back and forth by every breeze,
That plays among the graceful trees,
Like jewels rare, and sings.
The raindrops still, from y ester’s show
er,
Linger on bird and tree ;
While zephyrs steal with dewy feet,
From spiced—breath pinks their dai lity
sweets,
And waft them unto me.
A butterfly, whose jewt led wings
Quiver in ecstacy ;
Before a queenly rose's bower,
One moment leaves the blushing flower,
And lights upon my knee.
A radiant thing! like some bright
thought,
From Fancy's realms astray,
1 stretch my eager hand to clasp,
JI is tiny form, when from my grasp,
He lightly floats away.
Ah ! glancing sprite—ah ! transient
thought,
Your beauty leaves to me.
A memory bright of loftier things,
As glintings from an angels wings,
Sped fmiu Eternity.

gave it to Air. I Laves, and .Mi - . Haves
knows the fact. Thes J are (he men
who committed, knowingly commit

Hayes knows it. He is obliged to
know it. All the departments of
the government of the .State of Flor

her Ghief Executive have? at differ

action of the returning 1; card, and
have pronounced it false a.ad fraud

Mr. Haves is ignorant of th ? perju

this returning board of Florida is to
suppose linn an idiot, and uluit no

Knowing, then, that these men

Grccly and Rookcr, a Scene in;
liie “Tribune” Office,
A conversation between Thomas
Rookcr, the old foreman of the Trib
une, and Horace Grccly, the last
time the latter was in the Tribune
office, is given in the Troy Press,
and that paper says it has never be
fore been printed. Mr. Grecly’s de
nial of the “Crumbs of Comfort”
article had been twice suppressed,
and the old man climbed the stairs
to the com [losing room to see Hook
er about it. The latter was sitting
at his desk as he beard Mr. Greedy
coining, and knew the cause of the
visit. He rose as Mr. Grccly ap
proached him, and offering him his
hand said : “Mr. Grccly 1 am very
glad to see you.” Mr. Grccly, said,
“Tom, how is it that the article 1
ordered to be put under the edito
rial head has been left out twice ?”
Mr. Rookcr grasped Mr. Grccly*s
hand tighter, and replied : “Mr.
Grccly, 1 have received orders to-day
postivcly from the stockholders to
no longer recognize you as editor-in
clref. lam very sorry, Mr. Greelv ;
it was a terrible blow to mo after
such a long service in t lie Tribune
office under your management.”
Mr. Grccly, still holding Mr, Hook
er's hand, said ; “Tom, is this my
reward? Good bye, Tom, 1 shall
never darken the door of the edito
rial room of the Tribune again."
This was on the Stli (Otli ?) of AM"
vcinber, and .Mr. Grccly died two
weeks later, a broken hearted man.
The Sun has give i a fac-smiile of
the article that v. s ‘-killed." “We
imagine,” conclm.es Lie press, -‘that
the Sun obtained the original docu
ment (if it is original) from Mr.
Rookcr, who undoubtedly preserved
it, and who, on the nocount of the
recent strike, lias, wes believe, sever

and consequently feels under no ob
ligation to keep its secrets-” Wheth

his connection with the Tribune, it
is known that lie is absent from ids

strike.

Last wee A a daily passenger train
on the Georgia road was wrecked.
The Ghroniiffe speaks of it as fol
lows :
The train, left Union Point all
right, but three miles above that
point, at a place-called Dak Grove,
it met with a fearful accident. The
train was running at its usual rate
of speed when it ran into a drove of
cattle and wan instantly wrecked.
The engine was thrown from the
track, and the baggage car, second
class car and ladies’ coach piled upon
it. The engineer, Mr. Zacli Armis
tead, was killed and his body con
sumed, for the cars caught lire from
the engine almost immediately, and
were soon wrapped in flames. All
the baggage and express matter was
destroyed entirely by lire. The ex
press company had very little in
their car, and their loss was conse
quently-very light. A portion of the
baggage in the baggage ear was, how
ever very valuable. Mrs. Lngene
P. Ye‘dory, who was on the train,
lost her trunk, containing clothing
and jewelry. A gentleman lost his
trunk, in which were a number of
bonds. We understand that lie ol
fered five thousand dollars to any
one who would recover the trunk
from the flames, but the task proved
an impossible one, r J he entire regu
lar train was consumed and the body
‘of the engineer literally roasted
! with it. The cars containing the
! soldiers and their baggage were not
injured. The fireman, Mr. A. \\ .
Streeter, was painfully hurt. The
I express messenger, Mr. Vincent
I Thornton, and the news agent, Mr.
John Quinn, were also injured
| Several of the passengers were bruis
| ed, but none were transferred lo the
down passenger train, which return
ed to Atlanta. Passengers coining
this way were placed on one of the
ears which carried the soldiers up
and on an Athens Branch car and
carried ton station down the road
hy a fre : ght engine. The cars were
then at ta.died to the Maeon and Au
gusta train and brought to the city.
All the mail matter on the wnc..-
ed train was destroyed.

How to Increase the I'low of
Milk. —A lady correspondent of a
Southern paper, writing from Ar
kansas, gives the following recipe to
increase the flow of milk m a cow.
She says ; “Tepid water, slightly
salted, given twice a day, will in
crea-c the flow of milk one-third ;
the cow will not drink it at first tri
al, scatter a handful of bran or meal
over the top of it. They soon be
come very fond of it, and will drink
all you give them. I tried this plan
three years ago with perfect success.
I had only one cow, and she was of
the common scrub stock of the coun
try, and after she began to drink
the water, prepared a-? above, she
furnished me twice a day. two ordi
nary water buckets full of milk, and
b}* adding a little t orn hoped with
cotton seed tlie milk yielded butter
enough to support mv table bounti

sell every week. I gave her three
gallons of water twice a day.

years afterwards found out the cause.
It seems that the brother saw the
minister in the crow.led streets of a
city one day and lowed to him.
Hut the minister, a little near-sighted
withal did not return the brother's
salutation.
The brother never forgave him for
what he took as an affront. Moic
over he nursed his resentment, and
told the story of his wrongs till at
lust he concluded that the minister
had done him a real injury. He
would hear him preach no more.
Hesentnients do not need nursing.
It is better to nurse \ipers, for they
will only sting the bosom that

nursed will sting the heart that
nourishes ‘hem. Many a man has

A correspondent of an Engl h
medical journal furnishes the follow
ing r. cipc as anew cure for con
sumption: I*n t, a dozen whole lemons
in cold water and boil until soft
(not too soft), roll and squeeze un
til the juice is all extracted, sweet
en the juice enough to be palatable,
then drink, Use as many as a doz
er. a day. Should they cause pain
or looseness of the bowels, lessen
the quantity and use live or six a
day until be/ter, then begin and
uso a dozen again. By the time
you have used five or six dozen you
will begin to gain strength and have
an appetite. Of course as you get
better you need not use so many.
Follow these direction and wc know
that you will never regret it if there
is any help for you. Only keep it
up faithfully. We know of two
cases where both of the patients
were given up by the physicians,
and were in the last stages of eon
sumption, yet both were cured by
using lemons according to the di
rections we have stated. One lady
in particular was bedridden and
very low; had tried every thing
that money could procure, but ail
in vain, when, to please a friend,
she was finally persuade*! to use
the lemons. She begun to use them
in February, and in April she weighed
one hundred and forty pounds. Nhe
is a well woman to-day, and likely
to live as long as any of us.— K.\

to get married, she said to a gentle
man friend, “Do you know, 1 feel

getting married. Hut then I suj

Tom’s wedding, she said with gir

“Dear old Tom, to see him married

The latest trouble in the English
Church is the discovery of a book on

and it has been denounced in Parlia

while leading ritualists openly repu
