POETIC J n.
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
I’ve wandered to village, Tom ; Ive sat
beneath tl# tree
Upon the school-house ground, which shel
tered y° u aud nie;
But none were left to greet me, Tom ; and
few were left to know,
That played with us upon the green some
twenty years ago.
Tl* grass is just as green. Tom ; barefoot
ed boys at play
Were sporting just as we did then, with
spirits just as gay
But the “master” sleeps upon the hill,
which, coated o’er with snow.
Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty
years ago.
The old school-house is altered now, the
benches are replaced
By new ones, very like the same our pen
knives had defaced:
But the same old bricks are in tho wall, the
bell swings to and fro ;
Its music just the same, dear Tom, ’twas
twenty years ago.
The boys were playing some old game, be
neath that same old tree :
I have forgotten the name just now—you’ve
played the same with me
On that same spot: ’twas played with knives,
by throwing so and so ;
The leader had a task to do there—twenty
years ago.
The river's running just as still : the wib
lows on its side
Are wider than they were. Tom: the stream
appears less wide—
But the grape-vine swing is ruined now,
where once we played the beau
And swung our sweethearts pretty girls
just, twenty years ag*.
The spring that bubbled neat'i tho lull
close by the spreading beech,
Is very low —’twas once so high that we
could Almost roach;
And, kneeling down to get a drink, dear
Tom. I started so
To see how sadly I am changed since twen
ty years ago.
Near-by th« spring upon th( elm, you know
I cut your name.
Your sweetheart’s just heneatli it, Torn,
and you did mine the same :
Some heart less wretch has peeled the bark
t - .v.tf dying slow but sure.
Just as that one whose name you cut just
twenty years ago.
My lids have long been dry. Tom, but
tears came in my eyes;
I thought of her I loved so well - those ear
ly broken ties :
I visited the old church-yard and took some
flowers to strew
Upon the graves of these we loved, some
twenty years ago.
So oe are in the church-yard laid some
sleep beneath the sen
But few are left of our old class, excepting
yon and me:
And when our time shall come, Tom. and
we are called to go,
I hope they'll lay us where we played just
twenty years ago.
A Gambler's Story.
The reporter sat down by the side of
the shubby-genteel and listened to his
■story. It was a life sketch, full of inci
dents in the career of a gambler, and so
illustrative of the retribution that always
comes to those who deal in iniquity that
it is herewith published.
“In the first place,” the gambler be
gan, “I am nearly fifty years old, having
entered this mundane sphere, as you
newspaper fellows call the world, nearly
two and a half score years ago in New
Orleans. My father was a rich planter,
the owner of many slaves and a deal of
land, and a large lot of gay and gaudy
jewels. I was liis only child, and I may
say tlie idol of his heart, for my welfare
seemed always uppermost in his mind,
and all that was necessary to raise me up
in priucey style, was lone by the old
gentleman and my mother, who, how
ever, had the misfortune to be much
younger in years than my father, but
none the less kind.
“Our household was the happiest in
the land, care, disturbance or anxiety
being foreigners with whom none of us
were acquainted. This reign of happi
ness had existed in our household
from oar birth. I had never seen
mother and father quarrel. They never
bothered themselves about things to
come, or other people’s affairs, or any of
the numerous imaginings that produce
family jars, scorning at every trifle to
take offence and living as peacefully as is
possible here below. In the midst of
this happiness my father’s only brother,
much younger than himself, handsomer,
too, perhaps, a physician by profession,
an Appolo in figure, gay and graceful in
manner, and charming in conversation,
came to visit ns, it is no wonder my
mother became enamored of him. To
make a long story short, their conduct
reached the ears of my father, and then
he—he—shot my uncle in a duel, caus
ing three deaths in consequence—that of
piy uncle, liis own, and mother’s, she
dying of a broken heart several months
subsequent to the tragedy. The other
two d»ed from wounds inflicted by them
selves in the duel. Thus, at the ago oi
eighteen, was I thrust upon the wide,
wide world of which I had but little un
dershjiiijiognud no pxperiepce whatever. ”

VOL Y.
was bitter enough to make methrow my
self into the Mississippi, and only my
wife and daughter caused me to do other
“ What did you do ?” asked the report
er. “Do ?” said the other ; “I fell in
with some of hell’s angels, and got to
gambling, which I have never ceased to
do, save for a year or two after my mar
riage.”
“Marriage, did you say ?” remarked
the reporter.
“Yes, sir I married, eloped, ran away
with a pretty girl of poor parentage ;
caused grief to her friends and her
self, though ultimately I learned to love
her iu earnest, and had the ceremony
performed by a minister ?”
“A little girl had been born to us then,
sir, a darling, daisy little cherub, whom
we both adored, and w ho served to unite
us in love and peace. For a while I for
got gambling, resolved to give it up and
never think of the thousands I had lost.
I made an examination of my affairs, and,
zounds, sir ! had lost nearly half left me
by father. The disclosure was startliug.
It made me desire to game again, to win
hack my losses, and once more I plunged
recklessly into the sea of ruin 1 My wife
and child were neglected ; my money
drifted out of my grasp. I drank heavi
ly, quarreled frequently, separated from
friends, and, when thirty-five years old,
hadn’t a dollar of my fortune 1 I had
gone down lower and lower, and, at the
age mentioned, lived in the garret instead
of the parlor iu which I had been reared!
My wife’s velvet gowns and fine linens
were now torn, tattered and worse than
any of our servants iu former days had
been permitted to wear. In tlie midst of
this horrible state of affairs I made an
“ALARMING DISCOVER y.”
“Poor Camille, my wife, was threaten
ed with death. Her face told me that
consumption would kill her, but I could
do nothing, forlorn and friendless as 1
was. The disease grew upon her, and
whi n, after several weeks, I was suffi
ciently well to go about, I knew human i
aid could never avail her. Made desper
ate by her approaching demise, my
wretched condition, and harrowing cir
cumstances, I once more sought the
gaming table ; this time in a different
role—a roper. Yes, sir, a roper! I,
who was the son of one the wealthiest of
Southerners, descended to the life of a
roper for a guinliug house. The thought
wise. I flourished though ; I soon rose
to be a dealer, brought my dear ones out
of their misery, and prolonged my wife’s
life somewhat, though she soon died.”
“What did you do then ? asked the i
reporter.
"Continued with the gamblers, won
back a great portion of my losses, and
was once more living in the lap of luxu
ry when more misfortunes overtook me.
This time my daughter was the cause.
1 had always managed to have her at
school. She was bright ns she was beau
tiful. A pretty-faced, rosy-cheeked,
light-haired little darling, whom I cared
mors for than all the world besides.
Pleasant iu conversation, agreeable iu
manner, rich but not gaudy iu dress,
loving and geuTe iu disposition, she
charmed all with whom she came iu con
tact, and had numerous admirers. One
of these young men who visited her was
the son of a wealthy hanker ; handsome,
well educated, and winning iu maimer,
he soon captivated my little one, nnd
made believe he would marry her.
“thb dear little dove
believe him, and was so wrapped up in
his promises that she kept the affair a
secret from her father until at last ho
discovered how matters stood, and for
bade the fellow's presenc to my house.
The little dove of a daughter pined away
from this on ; her plump little cheeks
lost their roseate hue, her lips their cher
ry blossom, her eyes their sparkling lus
ter, and her voice its rich melody. Can
yon understand why ?”
“I have an idea sir,” said the one who
listened, but 1 may be wrong ; I suspect
a crime had been committed. Was it
so ?”
“Yes, it was true. Even as had been
done the mother, so was done the daugh
ter. A few mouths ended the affair.
Poor little Emily died. A little infant
followed its mother, and now they rest
side by side under the sod, while I, the
only survivor of tlie family, am a miser
able, god-forsaken wretch, doomed to
drag out a weary existence for years to
come. Gambling did it. So will it do
to others ; so has it done to thousands.
God help us.” And the man forgot he
was an outcast as he wept over the bitter
memories of a wasted life. “God help
us ! God help us 1”

MAN tIPACTUH KS—IHKECT
TRADE, Ac., Ac.
No. 4.
By reference to the preceding paper of
this series, it will be seen that I estimate
the cost of a small factory' in the country
at not exceeding 8*20,000, one half of
which may probably be drawu from
abroad—the home stockholders furnish
ing raw material from their own fields.
Can not at least one such factory in each
county of the 29th Senatorial District
be started within the coming year—the
Centennial year, doubtless, to be a year of
many surprises, of many “new depart
ures?” Can not there be one, at any
rate, at either Bonesville, Clay Hil ,
Raysville, Lockhart’s, Bussey’s Mills or
Washington? Is not the project feasible?
Doubtless tho profits of individuals in
the four oounties are aeparately small,
bnt they must aggregate quite a con
siderable sum, for there are at least fif
teen hundred farms in them. Besides,
the trading claSs which accumulates,
without creating or adding values, is al
ways foremost to invest its earnings lib
erally in what tends to the general good.
Surely then the question should be
narrowed down to one of profit and lose.
Will money invested as proposed yield a
fair profit to its owners, and effect per
manent advantage, and be of pnblic ben
efit ? There can scarcely be a doubt of
it, provided it be managed as successful,
thrifty men manage their individual
business. The universal law of Nature
is to waste nothing—save everything.
Unfortunately the general practice of
mankind—-less thoughtful than the ant
and the bee-—is to w aste aud destroy.
What use do country people now find for
their earnings or savings ? They buy
Factory, ltailroad, Bank and otlieratoeks,
State aud City aud Builroiul bonds, many
of which investments are now yielding
small dividends, and promise no better
for some years to come. And moreover
these owners of capital are delivering the
management thereof into the hands of
comparative strangers, some of them
possibly aliens iu interest, and perhaps
with neither more capacity or fidelity
than can be found on the soil. Why not
then keep their money at home, under
their own more immediate and watchful
care and control, assuring themselves of
equally good dividends, developing native
business talent, and iu all ways increasing
the value of their whole property ?
Now to the marrow of the thing—the
matter of profit. What is the average
profit in cotton growing here, to the land
lord, tho tenant farmer, the cropper, or
the laborer, counting twelve cents for the
article, which is the price that may he
expected for some years to come ? Per
haps it ia not. three per cent on an aver
age, while a really good farmer can make
twelve to fifteen per cent. A landholder
owning one thousand acreH of fair land,
worth, say, S7OOO, is doing well to rent
his arable lands at a bale for each fifteen
acres, or twenty bales for three hundred
acres, leaving him u home for his family,
and a small farm for himself and boys.
His account would stand about thus :
Twenty bales, $1,200, seed, S7O, total,
$1,270. Deduct taxes, S9O, cost of gin
ning, baling, transportation, storage and
commission sls0 —leaving a net income
of $1,030, or not quite 15 per cent. The
business, as a business, is clearly satis
factory aud good, but even with
such profits, if the owner spends
$1,200 annually for personal and family
expenses, he is rushing headlong to the
Bankrupt Court. And just here is the
leakage which will ruin any man, in any
business, and enuso the general outcry
“It don’t pay.” The bu»incnn pityn, by
itself considered, buteveu thirty per cent
in merchandise or any other venture of
$7,000, will ruin the man who spends
$2,500 for himself and family.
Turn now to manufacturing. Fifteen
such landholders ns above mentioned,
with an investment of $105,000 in land
have each an income of sl,o3o—in the
aggregate $14,450. Twelve of them
spend more than their income, and are
on the road to ruin. Three save each
SOOO a year—or in five years, including
interest, have more than SIO,OOO surplus.
Suppose each of the fifteen subscribes
S7OO to a small yarn factory, under his
own eye, tho remaining SIO,OOO being
drawn abroad, how then will profit and
income stand ? The mill owner at Fall
Biver, Lowell or Augusta can produce
not more than 430 lbs. yarn from an
average commercial bale of 500 lbs. gross.
The Lancashire manufacturer lias a slight
advantage, for remember, oh, planter,
that when your cotton gets to Liverpool
you do not sell bagging and ties, hut
only eotton wool, as 4 to 5 per cent, tare
is deducted. With the “Clement At
tachment” in your home factory every
1,500 lbs. dry seed cotton, flee of dirt,
will yield 500 lbs. of the very best yarn,
which will fetch at least tweuy-tivo cents
per pound in any market where tho raw
eotton commands twelve cents.
Now look at the balance sheet, and be
wise in time. Ins ead of an investment
of $105,000 in land, yielding $15,450,
you will find the account about thus:
Lauds, $105,000, site, power and build
ings, SIO,OOO, untaxed machinery, $lO,-
000, total, $125,000. Income from yarns
$37,500, seed, $1,500, total $38,500, de
duct taxes, $1,500, wages, S6OOO, total
$7,500, leaving a nett profit of SII,OOO on
the whole investment of $125,000 nearly
25 per cent. Or, allowing the grower
$52 per bale nett, an overvaluation, the
legitimate profits of converting seed
cotton into yarns is nearly 80 per cent.’
exclusive of wear aud tear, transportation
aud commissions. Granting the stock
holders who furnish machinery twenty
five per cent, on their capital, including
wear and tear, and this leaves $28,500 to
the landholders, who are stockholders,
or to each $1,900 instead of $1,030, aud
with an added investment of only S7OO
each. I have estimated the seed at only
SI,OOO, but a hnller of small cost will
raise their value as stock food to nearly
$2,000.
But tlie seed may be utilized in a dif
ferent way, aud yield much more profit.
THOMSON, GA.JEGEMBER 1,1875.
I allude to manufacturing a fertilizer
from them. It is Believed by the best
scientific and practical farmers that we
have wasted ten or fifteen millions of
dollars in Georgia fsinee the war, in the
purchase of commercial manures, aud a
strong effort ia being mode to induce
farmers to compost at home, aud thus
save an enormous leak. But from the
known tliriftlessness and ignorance of
the masses, this is not likely to succeed.
The next best tiling to do, then, is to
manufacture at home, using crushed
eotton seed as a basin, a genuine and
good article, open to inspection at all
times, and through every stage of manu
facture, to satisfy the most prudent. A
fertilizer composed of crashed seed,
Curoliuia Phosphate, Plaster, Salt and
Kainit, can be made at everyyam factory,
which will suit all onr crops and all our
soils, and sold -E Aler a guarantee for
thirty dollars pee ton, cash, the purchas
er furnishing his own sacks or barrels
or boxsa, and getting it in large or Hinall
quant ites at any season of the year.
It is said that “figures can not lie.”
If any mistakes sire made in tay estimates,
I will gladly se<i them pointed out by
practical men—nit for controversy’s sake,
but for truth's jsake. I have put the
profits lower than the inventor's claim,
aud I lielieve I have demonstrated that
the project is both feasible and profitable.
Yours,
Mark.

The Stone in the Road.
There was a duke once who disguised
himself, and placed a great rock in the
middle of tlie road near his place.
Next morning a peasant came that way
with his ox-cart. “Oh, these lazy peo
ple 1” said he, “there is this big stone
lying right in the middle of the road,
aud no one will take the trouble to put it
out of the way. ” And so Hans went on,
scolding about the laziness of the people.
Next carno a gay soldier along. His
head was held so far back that he didn’t
notice the stone, and so lie stumbled
over it. He began to storm at the coun
try people arouud there for leaving a
huge rock in the road. Then he went
on.
Next came a company of merchants.
When they came to the stone, the road
was so narrow that they had to go off in
single file on the other side. One ot
them cried out, “Did anybody ever see
the like of that big stone lying here the
whole of the morning, aud not a single
person stepping to take it away ?”
It laid there for three weeks, and no
one tried to remove it. Then the duke
sent around word to all the people on
his lands to meet where this rock lay, as
he hail something to tell thorn.
The dav came aud a great orowd gath
ered. Old Hans, the farmer, was there
and so were the merchants. A horn was
heard, and a splendid cavalcade came
galloping up. The'duke got down from
his horse, aud began to speak to the peo
ple gathered there.
“My friends, it was I who put this
stone here throe weeks ago. Every pass
er-by has left it just where it was, aud
has scolded his neighbor for not taking
it out of tbe way.”
He stooped down and lifted up the
stone. Directly underneath it was a
round hollow, and in the hollow lay a
small leathern bag. The duke held up
this bag, that all might see what wai
written on it, “For him who lifts up the
stone.” He untied the bag, and turned
it upside down, and out upon the stone
fell a beautiful gold ring and twenty
large, bright gold coins.
So they all lost the prize because they
had not learned the lesson, or formed the
habit of diligence.
