IS IT WORTH WHILE?
* ’ / BY JOiQUIN MILLER.
ts it worth while that we jostle a brother
Bearing .jus load on the rough road of life ?
I» it worth while that we jeer at each other
In’ bl&knes* of heart ?—that we war to
the knife ?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife 1
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumph feel
When's yellow goes down 'neath his load on
the beitfUer,
Pierced to the jjeart; words are keener
than steel.
And mightier far for woe or for weal.
Were it not well, in life’s hurried journey
On o'er the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give jiim s a fish instead of a serpent,.
Ere folding the hands to be and afiSe
Forever and aye iu dust at his side ?
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at jvaet on the
"plain
Mali, and mail only, makes war on his
- brother. i
And 'tenths in his heart at his peril sad
pain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow soldier down into the
dust ?
God pity us all 1 Time too so, n will tumble
All of ns together like leaves in a gust. j
Uiv tiled.'indeed, down into the dust. !

The young Stanhopes loved her father's j

Os his attachment, however, daddy
Lnpiie was bjiMifuiJy ignorant. He had
never seen young 'Coverdale, and that
young gentleman living well aware of the
antipathies of his contemplated father-in
law towards schoolmasters and their ilk,
prudently refrained from vi«iUi« Busan
at her h#nfe. The accommodations «f
the house <#% maternal mint nTßusaM,
in Stanhope, were vouchsafed them, her
uncle, the harness maker, rather liking,
than otherwise, tlieir clandestine visits.
In this wav the lovers managed to keep
the fire on the altar oldheir hearts fann
ed to a Imght flame.! The itripaiient Oor
erdale desired to bring bis suit to an is
sue, but the dutiful Busan would no* 1
consent to an elopement. With the hope
of modifying her sire’s views on the sub
ject of education, she had introduced the
theme, with what success if recorded
above.
That night, after family prayers, quite
au.i animated colloquy took place be
tween Sn.san’s parents. The door of Su
sans chamber . being ajar, she became
an innocent listener to the Conversation,
which, as it concerned herself alone,
proved rat er interesting. Mother Lippe
was in Pusan * secret, ami favored it
with aU uer might.
‘'Now, old man,” said she, as that
functionary was covering tip the fire,
that last tiling oelore going to bed, ’tis
downright uiyau iu you to oppose Susan’s
ijees about larniug. Tin sot not to hev

j “I rule this roost,” responded daddy
Lippe.
j “And I’ll make the roost for you,”
I rejoined the dame. “Times aiu’t now
; what they was when we was youngsters,
j Just think of mating Busan to Mat. Awl >
!or yet to Chris. Gabby, the shoemaker,
who has about as much of au ijee of
I books as a hog has of meetin. ”
“There’s no mite of use argufying
about it, old woman ; I'm sot.”
“And so am I,” replied the irate dame;
“And we’ll see who’ll sit to the most pnr
{>cse. If Susuu oan’t many the kind of
1 man she wants to, she call stay at borne,
| awl that’s the end of it.
I With this clincher Mother Lippe turn-
I ed her face to the wall, and refused to
’ say another word.
Iu the meantime, Henry Coverdale
I was gradually winniug his way to euii
; nauee. Asa speaker, he stood brad and
shoulders above any of the young men.
his associates at the bar. The results o»
i his efl’orts also began to flow in upon
him iu a golden stream. Vet, still he re
maiued a bachelor, though many won
dered. Still there were no signs of old
Mr. Lippe relax.ng in the least from his
views on “education.”
However, things wore destined to
hope themselves entirety different to
what a mere observer might reasonably
ope to expect.
This grew out of Coverdale’s love for
ntsan, which now assumed the cast of
impatience.
One day a young man in homespun
arb presented himself at the house of
old Mr. Lippe, and inquired if he want
'd to hire a hand on the farm.
The oid farmer eyed him for some mo
ments, and finding him remarkably well
favored and knit-together, said ;
Where are you from?”
“1 live at Monroe, e i eu at home," re
plied the young man.”
'‘iiiiint'a on. a ■ sum J”
••{Vs, « ‘ '
‘•.Aboin how mueh do you want a
orttii ?”
‘•Whatever you think is light.”
■p Loll'd never get along in the world,
III*! Toil .lriv« a better bargain than
‘hat;’*' said Mr. Lippe. V*iT sliali w..r
. month for twenty dollars, and 'ifte...,
that, if we suit one another, we’ll bargain
for a year.”
' “Agreed,” said the young man, and
was forthwith installed as a hired band.
As the reader guesses, the hand was
none other Minn Harry Coverdale, who
ll.ui commenced to put into op* ration a
plan to gain the old man’s consent to his
union with Susan.
Time wagged along. Old Lippe was
mightily pleased with his hired hand,
and often praised him to the women folks.
Indeed, he looked with u degree of com
placency on Iris attentions to Susan,
w hich began to be marked, and Cover
dais wigs, on the pond ȣ pqppiiig tin
question, w\i?o n/circumstnitce caused
biiu to postpone it for a short season.
The circumstance was us follows :
The farm of Mr. Lippe was a part of a
tract, the title of which hail formerly
been in dispute, though it was in deed
and in equity his. Just at this time one
of those land sharks that infest the coun
ty raked up a worthless claim, and enter
ed suit for possession
This, proceeding was so obviously
absurd ami rascally, that Mr. Lippe
merely laughed at it, although at the
advice of his hired hand he appeared at
court to refute the elaiin ; supposing,
however, that his bare word would be all
sufficient to dispose of the scoundrel of a
laud shark. His hired hand also con
cluded so lose the day and go with him,
iii order, lie said, “to see what a judge
aud court were like.”
Old Mrs. Lippe and Susan ■ so impn-
Lnied themTfor the purpose of making spine
j purchases, as they could get better liar
! gains in the country town than ill Btaii
hope.
The conversation of the family had
placed Henry Coverdale iu full posses
sion of the facts in the case, anil he had
manifested such au interest jn the affair,
and appeared to be so anxious as to the
result, that the old man was not astonish
ed at seeing him enter the bar and take
a chair by hia side. He noticed also,
[that hie dame and Busan were among the
spectators in the court room.
The ease was called, and the lawyer
•or the plaintiff’ arose and made out so
plausible a statement that it enraged the
■ fid man.dreadfully, so much so that he
Could seircely contain himself until the
! awyer concluded.
Xue moment he sat dowu the old man
sprang to his feet.
“Bee here,” exclaimed he. “Here are
deeds, aud every man in this court room
i auows me well enough to know that 1
! never got them by rascality, or claimed
! more than what was justly nime.”
; “All this may be true,” replied the
i judge, “but the court demands legal
prooi, relative to the points at issue. J
presume you have au attorney, Mr.
Lippe.”
“Never said a ward to a single one. I
never thought it worth while,” said the
oid man, perfectly aghast at the turn
matters were taking.
At this stage Lippe’s hired hand rose
to his feet.
“May it please the court, I will under
take the case for Air. Lippe,” said he.
“A pretty case you’U make of it,” said
the old man. “You can plow corn a
wonderful sight better,”
I “I assure Mr. Lippe that Mr. Cover
dale is perfectly competent to the task,”
said the judge, who was well acquainted
j with the young lawyer, aud who, though
i ignorant of his present relations, fancied
he smelt a joke iu the actions of the
parties.
“Mebbe your honor is right,” said Mr.
Lippe ; “but a plague take me if you
don’t find him a likely sight bettor farm
hand than lawyer.”
A general titter ran around the bar.
The suit proceeded. The young at
torney having previously mastered the
whole ground, entered into the merit
with sueh fore-* and clearness as astonish
ed even the court. But how shall wo
print the surprise of old Mr. Lippo ! It
took him by storm. At every word of
the youug lawyer he seemed to distend
with astonishment, until his amazement
was something so ridiculously appalling
as to convulse the entire audience with
laughter. Pea! after peal resounded,
and even the fat sides of the judge, for
getting their gravity, seemed ready to
shake to pieces with merriment.
“Who, who, are you V” at last ga pea
the old man.
“Sit down, Mr. Lippe,” said Cover
dale. “I am -.attending to the case.”
Then stooping he whispered in his ear ;
“I am trying to <-aru Busan.”
“She’s yours,” shouted the old man
regardless of the bystanders, or the court,
which having now ail inkling of the
matter, gave loose reign to their jubilant
feelings. Hi w Susan felt, however, can
be better imagined tliau described. She
blushed like one of her mother’s pelouies,
and hastily hid her face in her veil.
When the merriment had subsided and
old Lippe had secured libs equanimity,
the happy attorney proceeded, mid finally
a-ate'»< cd-sa a i':|s<- for Ins involuntary
■•u ntf .i.i can al tin jq igetto dismiss the
suit. ’Tjie oUI ijift i l-'l’t the court in
triumph, and v ith his hired hand, pro
ceeded forthwith to the clerk’s office,
where a license was procured. The
judge gave the court a short recess and
united the Ipq.ipy pair in the bonds of
matrimony.
Since .That event, Mr. Lippe has
changed his vie n.-.on educational mutters,
jno oilier uay a. Judge Coverdale was
.ejaAng home to his iseut in Congress, he
said to his > ruudsoii :
“Lippe Coverdale, get your lessons
well, anil who knows but what you’ll go
to Long less, too.
“Who knows !” exclaimed the happy
Busan.
THE BOOMERANG.
Interesting /nets About the Singular
Weapons used bg the native* of Aus
tralia.
A traveler teds us something of the
singular weapon used by the natives of
Australia, the boomerang. He saw them
used by the natives. They ranged from
two feet to thirty-eight inches in length,
and were of various shapes, all curved a
little and looking, as lie descrihoH them,
something like a wooden hew moon.
They were made of a dark, heavy
wood and weighed from one to three
pounds. In thickness they vary from
half au inch and taper to a point at,each
etui. Ona of the natives picked up the
piece of wood, and, poising it an instant,
threw it, giving it a rotary motion. Fur
the first hundred feet er more it went
straight ahead. Then it tacked to the
left and arose slightly, still rotating rap
idly. It kept, this latter course for a
hundred feet more perhaps, but hihii
veered to the left again, describing a
broader crate, and a fnonMC later fell to
the earth six or eight feet in front of the
thrower, having described nearly a circle
hr the air. Auother'iiative then took the
same boomerang anil cast it, holding it
with the same grip. It took the same
course, but made broader curves, and as
it came round the black caught it hand
somely in liis right hand. Another na
tive then threw it and lodged it on the
ground about twenty feet behind him,
after it had described a circle of two
hundred yards or upwards. After him
they all tried it anil but one failed to
bring the weapon back to the spot where
they stood. Carnboo, a native, then se
lected from the heap of boomerangs an
other one, and cast it with a sort of jerk.
It flew for forty or fiftv yards, whirling
like a top. Then it darted into the air,
mounting fully 100 feet, aud came over
our heads, where it seemed to hang sta
tionery, for a moment, then settled slow
ly, still whirling, till he caught it. Two
others of the blacks then did the same
thing-
Aleaiiwhile 1 bad shaved a iitlie of the
wood from the convex Hide of one of the
boomerangs. This was now offered
to them to throw. One took it without
noticing what I had done, poised it, but
stoppeu snort, but with a contemptuous
glance at my improvement threw it dowu
aud exclaimed: “Bale biulgerv !” (no
good,) The others then looked at it
cautiously, but it was also a bale budger
to them. No one could he induced to
throw it. Meyers asked them why they
did not use it, but they could not give a
defiuite answer. It was plain they did
not like the way it poised, when held in
the hand, yet I could not tell any differ
ence whatever between this and the oth
er wcafions.
THOMSON, GA. DECEMBER 22.1875.
Burleigh then walked to a distance of
two hundred feet or more from the
blacks and bid CarhoO to throw at him.
j Tlle native looked at him a moment,
' rather curiously, then comprehending
’ 'vhat was want-d, ho selected oue of the
i heaviest of the missiles, and turning
; half around, threw it with great force iu
| a direction almost opposite from Um:
| wll ere Burleigh stood. The weapon sped
i smartly for sixty or seventy feet, then
tacked iu an instant aud flew directly at
j Burleigh, and had lie, not most expedi
| tiously ducked, he would have received
j a hal'd thump, if nothing worse. It
; struck the ground twenty or thirty puces
| beyond. This feat brought out n broad
t grin aud someth ng like a chuckle from
; the whole of them, ('tuboo even inti
mated that he would like to try it anoth
er cast, but Burleigh expressed himself
hilly satisfied.. Mr.--- ..(.another of our
party), however, offered to ‘take a shot,’
but. not at too short a rnngo. We were
j standing in front of one of the store
houses. Carboo placed in front of
| the door, and stood with his hack to him,
] with ‘abandon his shoulder. None
of us knew what sort of a manoeuvre he
had 111 mind, not even Myers. Standing
in this position, the black threw the Ikio
merung straight ahead. Immediately it
curved ill the air. Then it disappeared
nrbnud the corner of the building, and
before ho had time to guess what was
meant it came around the other end
(having passed completely around the
storehouse and gave him a sound slap
on the back which made his eyes snap.,

A Vexy Am'hint Wall i* Mississippi.
—About eighteen miles from Port Gib
son, and one mile from Brandywine
springs, on the place of Mr, O’Qmn, the
existence of a great number of blocks ol
cut stone has been known for an indefi
nite time, and the people in the neighbor
hood have used them for props for their
hoitils. Mr. James (iage, jr , went out
there a few days ago to ex,.lire, aud had
a specimen stone brought, into town. It
is about three feet fi i.g, ab nt twenty
inches square, r; s. inbi ijg in s ape a bar
of soap. It is probsb y; a nut ve sand
stone. Mr. Gage took this block him"
self from.beneath flu; roots of a large
pine tree. It formed a portion Os a wall
about twenty feet triad on the top,
which Mr. Gage traced for n distance ol
two hundred and fifty yards. The infer
ence that one would nalmally dtuw from
this superficial view is that tlii., must
have been a city w b, but deep exp.lorn j
(ion might show if -ki portion of a j
fort, temple or oth- r hiwUling. Anyway, I
i;s antiquity is probably in mouse, ante
diating the history of the red men.

People. — Rev. George-It. McCall,
pastor of the Baptist Church iu Hawkins
ville, in a letter to the Christian Index,
in speaking ol a family (fathering at the
home of his father, Kev. AJ. N. McCall,
of Bcruyen county, Ga., says :
“His family may lie classed among the
long-lived. lie has a brother nearly
eighty-two, and ail aunt, the honored
mother of Hon. A. K. Wright of Borne,
Ga., who must not be far from her hun
dredth year, while one of kin grand
fat Tiers lived to the astonishing age of
oue hundred and twenty-seven years.
Aud, what is still more wonderful ; this
aged man married after he had attained
his hundredth year, became the father of
three children, and lived to see the
youngest vote. This youngest son is
alive, and says that if liis eldest brother
were living, he would lie over oue iiun
it red and fifty years old.”
