AA Stort with a Moral. —A young ’•‘aim paying special attension to a yomig iady, met with the following incident du ring one of his visits: Being invited into the parlor to await the lady's appearance, he entertained.bira •elfasbestbe might for some time, and waa becoming weary, when a little’ girl about five years old slipped in and began to converse with biw. “I can always tell," she said,“when you are coming to our bowe.” “You!" he replied,“and how do you tell it F “Why, when you are going to be here sister begins to sing and get good, and she gives me cake and pie, and any thing 1 want, and when I speak to her she smiles so pleasantly. I wish you would stay here all the while, then I would have a good time. But when yon go off, aister is not good. She gets mad, *ttd if I ask her for anything, she slaps apil'bangs me.about.” This was a poser for the young man. “Fools and children tell thfl truth," quo ted be; and taking** hafobe left and re iurned no more.

WASHINGTON, WILKES COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28,1866. Grease The "Wheels. Oil and black lead is supposed to be the best sub stance, but we have always found lard and flour apparently as good. If the wheels are kept well lubricated, very Iktio difference will befound between the ease of running wooden and iron axles in ordinary farm work. The smaller the axle, the less will always be the friction, other things being equal; because the spokes have a grealer purchase, the friction being the resisting force, and being nearer the end of the lever when the axle is small. Worth Knowing.— A poiaion of any conceivable description and degree of po tency, which has been swallowed, inten tionally or by accident, may be rendered almost instantly harmless by swallowing two gilfc of sweot oil. An in dividual with a very zttong constitution should take twice the .quantity. This oil will neu tralize every form of vegetable or mineral poison with whteh physicians and chemists are acquainted. —Lynchburg News. ‘That’s a fine strain,’ said one gentleman to another, alluding to the tones of a sing er at concert the other evening. ‘Yes,’ said a countryman who aat near, ‘but if he strains much more lie’ll bast.’ Patience, application, and courage, over come all difficulties. Water drinkers are never drunk, nor never run infdebt, ■ There is no better looking.glass than an old friend. People who take out, and do not putin soon find tlie bottom. The best at dice ia not to play. The devil lies in a covetons man’s chest.
