SI 11, YOU’RE TOO FAMITiIAK.
BY N. BRUM CLARK.
I never go to call npon a certain lady fair,
Who wraps in paper every night her lovely au
burn hair,
Ami take a seat closo by her sido a playing with
iny silvor,
But she puts on a haughty look and says “you’ro
too familiar!”
I never go to ball or church and offer her my arm,
But she declines to honor mu* as though 1 meant
her harm ; <
I never toll her I am rich, have plenty gold and
silver,
But that she pouts her pretty lips with—“sir.
you’re too familiar!”
I never moot her on the street and offer her my
hand,
But she starts back a step or two and there, doth
coolly stand ;
I cannot look her in the face*—and I’m no lady
killer —
But quickly she lets down her veil with —‘‘don’t
bo so familiar!”
I cannot turn hor music-book when she’s at the
piano,
But she gives me an icy look, and calls her sis
ter Aqjia;
I cannot touch her new guitar that is inlaid with
silver,
But from my hand slio snatches it and says —
“you’ro too familiar!”
I cannot go to th’ opera house and take a scat
beside her,
But she moves off a foot or two to separate us
wider ;
I cannot, for the life of me, with proper notions
fill her,
For all Ido and all I say its—“sir, you’ro o
familiar !”
I reckon in a month or two she’ll change her
testy Inuiioi )
A month or two 7—the secret’s out!—perhaps it
may be sooner!
She’ll say, “my dear, I’ll thank you lor a 1 ttle
gold and silver;
Tlow very cold you’ve grown of late — oh! do be
more familiar /”
REPORT OF THE JOINT-COM
MITTEE ON DIRECT TRADE
AAD IMMIGRATION.
The Joint Committee appointed by
the last session of the General Assembly
of Georgia, to take into consideration
the subject of Direct Trade and Immi
gration, submit the following report:
In our investigation of this subjeot
we have been deeply impressed with its
groat and vital importance,and feel a cor
responding degree of responsibility in
presenting the results of our delibera
tions and inquiries,and advising as to the
mo>t judicious course to be pursued in
dealing with it.
We would remind the Legislature
that this subject Las already been
brought under public notice, and in
1860 tlie General Assembly passed a
bill authorizing the Governor to enter
into arrangements with a steamship
company for a regular communication
between Europe and our own ports,
and appropriating SIOO,OOO per annum
for five years for securing the monthly
passage of a steamer between those
points. The carrying out of that scheme
was frustrated by the important and
exciting event" which war brought upon
us, and we have now to recommence
with the new light and in the new cir
cumstances which that has developed.
We have now in the new conditions
of society, resulting from the war. a
serious difficulty to contend with in
the altered relations in which the labor
of our country stands to capital ; and
the necessity for the introduction of
another kind of labor for carrying on
our productive operations is forced
upon us as a people. As to whether this
is to be such as would to a certain ex
tent perpetuate our old mode of opera
tions, but within the clement of coercion
—as might be done by the introduction
of coolies—or we must adopt tlie meth
ods which have effected such important
changes in the Northwestern States of
this Union, ad seek what we require
in the overstocked markets of Europe ;
wo feel no hesitation in saying that in
our deliberate judgment the latter is
the only safe course to pursue, not only
as being most in acsordance with mod
em ideas, but also most likely to bone-

fit us permanently anct build up the
material interests of our State.
The fact, too, that our productive
power as a people is being rapidly di
minished,' partly from these causes in
connection with others, affords ground
for serious apprehension, and points
unmistakably to the necessity for ener
getic steps being taken to remedy this
defect. The amount of land under cul
tivation, and so of benefit both private
ly and publicly, has considerably di
minished since the war, and must con
tinue to do so under present arrange
ments.’ .The profitable cultivation of
our main staples is] necessitating a
change from large and extensive opera
tion of former days, to that wherein
the planter and farmer can give an en
tire and personal attention to his own
business. The introduction of ucw ag
ricultural pursuits for which our cli
mate and soil are so well adapted, the
development of the wealth of our min
eral resources, which wc have such .an
abundance; the large increase of our
manufacture of cotton and wool into
yarn and cloth, with other important
facts which could be enumerated, all
unitejn forcing upon us the necessity
for an increase of our population from
abroad, by the bringing in of skilled
artizans and agricultural laborers, and
the offering of inducements for mea of
large and small capital to come and buy
land and settle in our State.
We believe that in taking steps to
bring about such results, the Legisla
ture of this State will inaugurate a
policy which will iti due time remedy
very largely the evils under which we
are now suffering, and place our country
in a position to retrieve its fortunes and
consolidate its influence and prosperity
on a basis of permanency and efficiency.
• With the subject of emigration that
of direct trade is inseparably connected
and both are essential to our success
and prosperity. At present our coin
mercial intercourse with the old State*
of Europe—who are large consumers
of our staple products, and of whose
manufactures we are constantly in need
—is carried on through Northern ports
and Northern importers. This state of
things places us at a great disadvantage,
inasmuch as we are subjected to a
series of intermediate profits and com
missions which considerably enhence
the cost of what we consume, and di
minish the profits of our own indus
tries. More than this, it places us as
a people in a state of dependence on
others—with whose aid we could well
dispense—and is an injury to us in our
commercial character, besides going far
to fasten upon us political disabilities
which damage us in our relations with
the Federation of States of which
wc form a part. Commercial and politi
cal dependence go hand in hand, the
infliction of one entails tho necessary
consequence of the other.
Wo have, in our geographical posi
tion an immeusc advantage placed for
our being drawn into immediate and
direct communication with the Id
World. We have a scabord which
gives us natural safe and convenient
harbors for shipping, and insures us
the first benefits which arises from this
communication. This also opens to
us the prospects of being the medium
of commercial intercourse witli tho
States west of us, which would most
certainly result from the establishment
of steam communication with Europe.
In this there is the certainty of an in
calculable advantage to our State, and
it presents a very powerful incentive to
our taking prompt and energetio steps
to insure it.
We are strongly impressed with the
importance of thi subject in both its
branches, and recommend the earnest
and careful attention of the Legislature,
to take such action as, in its wisdom, is
safe and desirable for the early apop
' tion of this policy.
| The of means trans-Atlantic transport
are of vital importance for the success
of any measures taken for securing tho
benefits to be derived from this sub
ject; and we think it will be necessary
to offer inducements at the outset, so
ns to secure a regular supply of at least
one steamship per month between our
parts and some port in Europe. This
should be in a form of guarantee
against loss, within a certain limit to be
prescribed by the Legislature. We
have prepared a bill to accomplish this
and reeomn nd the Legislature to
make ample and liberal appropriations
for this object.
We find it will be needful, however,
to make some preliminary arrange
ments which wo believe are essential
for the success ef this enterprise, before
proceeding to enter fullyon its accom
plish ment.
Our State owns no public lands of
any importance, and in order to offer
the great inducement which operates
in Europe to emigration—tho owner
ship of lands in fee simple-arrange
ments must bo made whereby there can
be a certainty of having such induce
ments to offer.
It is also desirable and necessary
that tho fullest possible information
should be given in Europe as to the
resources of our State—its climate in
the various sections; the character of
the land ; the opportunities and induce
ments it offers for embarking in now
industries; its water powers, its gold
fields and deposits, and many
other matters of interest and impor
tance. These should be collected and
compiled, and printed in a popular and
convenient form for the use of our rep
resentatives abroad. This we hold to
be of paramount importance, and essen
tial to the success of our efforts in this
direction. The lack of this careful
preparation has, we are satisfied, been
the cause, to a large extent, of the
failures in the attempt already made;
and we feel that we are fully justified
in recommending that it shall be prop
erly attended to in this instance.
There is also a necessity for the dif
fusion of proper information among,
our people respecting this subject, so as
to unite the attention and secure the,
support of all sections of our country, {
and make failure impossible when we
enter upon the accomplishment of our,
purpose.
We, therefore, recommend as what
in our judgment is at present practi
cable and desirable : That a Bureau
of Direct Trade and Immigration shall
be established at tho Capital, under
the direct control of tho Governor, who
shall take such steps as are practicable
appoint such persons as he considers j
capable and necessary, and for such
purposes a$ are in his judgement de- .
sirable to carry out the designs the
Legislature had in view in the appoint- j
ment of this Committee. ■ nd further
that an approbation of thirty thousand
dollars be made, to enable him do this
efficiently, and meet all the necessary
exponses which may bo incurred.
We hate prepared a biil to give ef- i
feet to these recommendations. We
believe that in recommending this)
course, wo are placing the subject in a
position of safety, and preventing, so
far as pos ib'e, the misappropriation
of the publ'c funds of the State
We are more than atisfied ihat in
the inauguration of this enterprise, the
Legislature ok this State is taking a
step fraught with the most important
results to the well-being of our country ;
it will infuse new life and energy into
our disheartened people, it willcreate
for u* new sources of wealth, and ensure
an enlarged prosperity; it will give an
enhanced importance to our common
wealth, both at home and abroad, and
restore to us our political and commer
cial integrity. And with the blessing
of A'mighty God on our honest en
deavors, we shall sec the clouds of dif
ficulties and uncertainty which now
encircle us dissolved and dispersed, arid
enter upon anew era of naDoual life
and distinction.
All of which i** respectfully submit
ted.

[From tfie New York Tribune.J
An Indoo r Tragedy—An Everyday
Story Graphically Told.
Well nigh half a century ago, a newly
; married couple settled in one of the
western counties of Pennsylvania.—
They had what their neighbors deemed
a fair capital with which to begin life—
a well stocked though small farm,sound
health, good common sense, and a more
than average amount of shrewd intelli
gence and culture. Under all tins was
a sincere trust in God and a jealous,
sensitive love for each other, neither
of which their neighbors knew much
about. American back-woods farmers
take prido in covering their emotions
under a hide as tough as that of their
own beeves. They had three or four
children, and night after night, over the
kitchen fire, the problem they set them
selves to answer was, what is the best
thing we can do with them, and for
them, the question asked daily with
such a wreuching of hearts in myraids
of homes, and answered so differently.
The fear of God seemed to Jacob and
his wife the best heritage to give them ;
the next best, plenty of money. To
give them the first, they began by hedg
ing the children’s lives with a system
of rules, Borrowed half from the Jewish
laws, half from the theory of their
sect.
Strict morality, the keeping of Sun
day as a periodical day of penitence
and wretchedness, the learning uuder
penal ty of dark closets and thrashing
of the chief duty of man, therein was
their religion. Life they were shown as
a straight and hard path through a
dark valley with the terrors of Sinai be
hind, aud the trips and pitfalls of a flam
ing hell on either side. Eren Jacob’s
wife, Mary, holding her darlings to her
breast, than which no mother’s ever
ached or throbbed with more tenderness,
had no other sermon to preach to them.
It never occurred to her or her hus
band that it was into just such fields of
grain as those about them, uuder just
such towering cedars, that Jesus led
his disciples and taught them, by the
sunshine and the rain, the tender mer
cies of God. The world grew green
around them, faded aguiu and wrapped
itself in snow, year after year; the
river sang its mysterious song to the
woods, at their very door; aud over
head the stars that had declared to the
patriarchs of the old world the infiuitc
secrets of Jehovah, blazoned them forth
still unregarded. Day unto day ut
tered speech, and night unto night
showed forth knowledgo of Him, but
both farmer and wife were deaf and
blind. God was to be approached only
through a dog-eared catechism, aud
fields and rivers -were worth only so
much fish aud wheat per year.
The children’s salvation being thus
provided for, the next thing to be in
sured was money. Husband and wife
worked and stinted only as a Scotch-
Irish family can work or stint. All
produce that was saleable went to the
market; the children were reared on the
refuse, the skim-milk, poorest bacon,
aud watery potatoes. Their clothes
were coarse and patched,their feet bare
and chilblaincd. The house grew
barer year by year, the father’s back
more bent, his faoe harder, but the
balance in bank increased dollar by
dollar. As for the plump, bonny Mary,
the had long ago joined that sisterhood
of loan, yellow-skinned,toothless women
who, with dirty calico dresses and wisps
of hair twisted up behind, are some
times found iu farm-houses, like ghastly
megrims, or day light spectres of a
wasted life. When churning and
scrubbing were done she would sit up
until near morning washing and darn
iug their clothes, that they might look
more “genteel” than she, dragging her
aching body to look at them when they
slept, praying for them with a fierce
longing to have power to be God him
self—to bo able to protect and oare for

them. The boys had certain strong
animal propensities aud physical ten
dencies which required skill and knowl
edge to guidejor restrain. One had a
morbid immugination; another a ten
dency to alcoholic poisoning, against
whioh bis diet and training from infan
cy should have defended him. Tho
girls, left to themselves, were filling
their brains with sickly, false fancies
of life and their work in it. But what
time had Mary to read or acquire in
any way the power to comprehend or
help her children ? There was the
scrubbing and the churning to be done,
the money to be saved. Boys and
girls were sent to colleges and semina
ries; every advantage education could
give them was theirs; the only mistake
that Jacob and bis wife mado iu this
respect was not to educate themselves
as well. Tho children went forward ;
they sat down and grubbed.
What is the end of it all? The daugh
ters grew up dyspeptic and-sickly for
tho lack of early pi-optr food: they
married and died before middle age,
brilliant, hard women, and neither of
them in any sense religious. One sou
went into politics, was successful, is
now a member of Congress, one of the
most influential of his party. Jacob
and his mother read of his life in Wash
ington, his wife’s receptions, his popu
larity. But long ago he was a 6tranger
to them. It is years since he crossed
tho old threshold. What is in
common between him and the ignorant,
boorish farmer and his wife? A few
weeks ago, the last of the sons came
home to die; tho one of all the children
who had real power .of intellect; the
only one who was not ashamed to talk of
“mo her” fondly to the last. He died
in her arms a drunken, worthless sol.
The thin, haggard woman closed his
eyes without a tear. “I have lost all
my children,” she said. ‘‘l must have
made a mistake somewhere in the be
gining. God knows.”
Is no other mother making this mis
take?
—
In the Line of Promotion. —A
London correspondent of the Boston
Globe states that it is not at all unlike
ly that Mr. Benjamin, ex-Confederate
Attorney General, will be elevated to
a Judgeship, sooner or later. He is at
this moment one of the most successful
advocates at the English bar, with an
enormous and growing practice. The
appointment of a barrister of foreign
descent to bo high an office would be
very unusual, if not unprecedented in
Great Britaiu.
A Good Story.— Dr. Willett, lec
turing in Boston the other night, told
a droll story of himself. He Baid that
at one time, when he was a connoisseur
bird-stuffing he used to critisise other in
peoples bird-stuffing severely. Walking
with a gentleman one day, he stopped
at a window where a gigantic owl was
exhibited, “You see,” said the doctor
to his friend, “that there is a magnifi
cent bird utterly ruined by unai ’ful
stuffing. Notice the mounting! Exe
crable isn’t it? No living owl ever roos
ted in that position. And the eyes
are fully a third larger than any owl
ever’ possessed.” At this tha
stuffed bird raised one foot and solemn
ly blinked at his critic, who said very
little more about stuffed birds that
afternoon.

It provides that the county medical so

censors, whose duty it shall be to regis
ter, and if they think proper, to exam
ine all persons profosing to practice
medicine, surgery or mdiwifery, and to
grant them certificates which are to be
duly reoordod; without such certificate
it shall be unlawful to practice in the
county. This is the material provisiou,
though there ure many minor detail.
