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. ” <ltut JflxDufjte xJfcleehlu 3)oui{nal. 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” (For the Journal. 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. Young America in Parsing. Teacher. Parse man.

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. CLOSING OUT AT COST!
