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- “3ALTJS POPULI StnPPtEIVrA. LEX ESTO.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1873. 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. John (J. Niciioj.ls, Chairman, I! 3*12 a year, in advance. [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 RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING Sii'fn of land, Administrators, Executors, tn Ouaidians ure required by law to be held on tin Tuesday in for month, between the hours if ten in the Jt noon if ,1 three in the afternoon, at the court horme in he unty in which the property it , aitiiateit \t tni of throe oaten mutt be /firm in a i public tji.if'e , i the county where the land lies}{f | there be am A< tin ifor theoale ofpersonalproperty must oe 4 if 'i in tiro manner ten day previous to sate dm/. -Vn c s in P-trors and Creditors of an estate muf 'oe n btimodfo' 'y days.

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. —-<>■ A bill is before the Pennsylvania Legislature “for the protection of the people agaiust quackery and crime.” It provides that the county medical so cieties of each county shall elect five 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.
