Right principles, right thoughts, and right actions are the sum of hun.au life, and are always the best passport into good society. Those devoid of the grace of sincerity, or those who assume a character to which they are strangers, are universally looked upon with dis trust and suspicion. Thereforo it is that a standard of conduct at once the most exalted, true to nature, truth, and sincerity should be considered as the best recommendation for every man or woman and child. The existence of such principles gives power, a' beauty of speech and action, that gain the good will of all, so true it is that the heart instinctively clings to that which it be lieves sincere, aud where no murky poison of deceit drugs its cup of sweets. Thus it is that eacli action should be the impulse of an innate love and good will towards those with whom we asso ciate and not the result of a task im posed by the usages of polite society.— To cultivate such motives of action is surely tho duty of every one. Individ uals may study the rules of gentility, may add accomplish ment, to appear in society to advantage, but if they lack the charm of sincerity the most winning address, the most ex quisite manners, and the most attractive exterior will hut serve to exhibit the deformity, tho ugliness that actuates their every thought aud act. Then be sincere in all you do and say, if you would merit respect aud esteem. But, alas! there are few that observe this rule. Beauty withiu itself controls all the chief power of nature when it is connected with sincerity. Sincerity is the main standard oY a solemn promise or obligation, aud when you loose all of your sincerity of truth, then you are lost in the estimation of the most intel lectual portion ot the civilized world. We cannot expect the ignorant class to make a siucero promise, because they do not know the first meaning of the word sincerity or beauty, or the Beauty of Sincerity.-- A. S. If. Gotueu Scheruku's Lira, n Jokk.— There is an anecdote of Gotlieh Bchce rer, who, twejve years ago, was an ac tive Philadelphia, politician, and Vice- President Dallas, which is hero first given in print. Some thirty years ago Mr. Dallas was counsel in a case in Philadelphia, and Mr. Scheorcr was called in as a witness. The following j questions were put by Mr. Dallas: “Mr. Schcercr, were you in Harris burg last Jaue “Last June, did you shy, Mr. Dallas?” “Yes, last June; don’t repeat my question, but answer it.” After some moments of study the ; answer came: “No, Mr. Dallas, I*Xvas notin Harrisburg last June.” “Were you in Harrisburg last July ?” “He reflected again, and slowly said, “No, Mr. Dallas, I was not in Harris burg iu July.” “Were you there in August, Mr. Schecrer ?” Tho witness again mediated, and said, “No, Mr. Dallas, I was not there j in August.” “Were you there in September ?” Here Mr. Sohcorer reflected longer than before, aud replied : “No, Mr. I Dallas, I was not in Harrisburg in Sep- j tember.” Mr. Dallas became tired of his barren result, aud raising his voice, said : “Mr. Schcercr, will you tell the court when you were in Harrisburg ?” “Mr. Dallas,” said Sclioerer, “I never was in Harrisburg in my life.” The court, tho audience, and Gotlieh Schcercr enjoyed the joke, but Mr. Dal | las did not heartily partake of the tucr | riment created.

X.DEI3C ESTO.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1873. How A Patient was f.o*t--A ease of Amaurosis. A foreign scientific periodical relates this suggestive story : Home time since a lady called upon a celebrated oculist in order to consult him on account ot her eyes, complain ing that their power of vision had of late considerably diminished. At a glance the doctor saw that sne was a lady of rank and wealth. He looked at her eyes, shook his head, and thought the treatment would require much more time, as there was reason to fear amau rosis in her ease. He must adviso.bei, first of all, that as she had informed him she was residing a considerable distance iu the country, she must move into the city at once, and thus enable him to see her frequently; if possible, daily. . The lady then rented au elegant mansion, moved into the city, and the physician was punctual in his attend ance. He prescribed this and that, and thus days ran into w’ceks and weeks into months. The cure, however, was still coming ; the physician tried to console her. One day the patient hit upon a curi ous scheme, and she waited not long to carry it into effect. She procured for herself a very old aud poor attire, put a hood of tremendous size upon her head, took an old umbrella and a market basket in her hand, and in these habili ments she visited her physician, select ing for the purpose a very rainy day.— She had so well succeeded in distorting and disguising herself that (lie eye even of a lover could scarcely have recogniz ed her. She was compelled to wait h long time in the ante-room of her phy sician, with many others who, like her self, were seeking relief. At last her turn came. “Well, my good woman, what have you to complain of?” “Very had eyes, doctor.” He took her to the light and looked into her eyes, hut failed io recognize his patient. Shrugging his shoulders, lie said: “Your eyes arc well onough.” “Well!” she said. “Y T os; 1 know what I am saying.” “Hut I have been told that 1 was getting —a —a —a —l forget how it i> called.” “Amaurosis ?” “Yes; that is it, doctor.” “Don’t you let them make you be lieve any such nonsense. Your eyes arc a little weak, hut that is all. Your physiciafo is an ;fts !’’ / ‘An 1” “Yes; an ass! Tell him boldly that I say so.” The lady now arose, and iu her cus tomary voice said: “Sir, you are my physician ; do you not know me f The face the sage counsellor made is easier to imagine than describe. “Gracious madam !” he commenced to stammer an apology; hut tho lady would not listen to him, and indignant ly left him. She never saw the gentle man any more. Beast Butler, besides keeping poor Massachusetts in hot water about his own • gubernatorial aspirations, is said to be meditating a political canvass of Mississippi for the purpose of re-elect ing his carpct-bag-son-in-law Ames to tho Senate. Ames’s fortunes arc on the wane among the negroes of that State, and old Ben wants to give them | a fatherly talk. A little six-year old boy was asked iby his teacher to write a composition on the subject of water, and the follow ing is the production : “Water is good to drink, to swim in, to skato on when frozen.

Leo when Young—Tho Changes made by Age aud Trouble. Ex-Senator Foote is contributing to the Washington Chronicle some very readable reminiscences of his senatorial days. From one of his recent articles wc extract the following reference to one of Virginia’s greatest and most be loved matrons —Mrs. Robert E. Lee. After speaking of Senator Berrien’s first speech, alluding to the occupants of the galleries, he says : ‘ Seated near these ladies was one whom 1 am tempted more particularly to describe. I allude to the only daughter of Mrs. Custis, the present Mrs. Lee. She was then about sixteen years of age, and was indeed tho ob served of all observers, lltr personal charms were such ns must inevitably have commanded admiration and sym pathy, independent of the adventitious advantages which so richly clustered about her. No one, l am confident, lias ever behold a more placid and win ning f.ico than that which was now pre sented by her gaze. She was richly and plainly attired, as was her mother, and there was a modet and reserved dignity about both of them that signifi cantly bespoke their rank and bringing up. Miss Oust is was described to me by those wlio knew her best as a young lady of sound and vigorous intellect, with judgment and discrimination de cidedly predominated. Her education had been iu all respects such as was best calculated to make her happy her self, and the source of abundant utility ntid happiness to others. Those who had beheld her venerated ancestress, the wife of Washington, often pointed out the striking resemblance which they, supposed themselves to have discerned between the noblest of American women and the youthful representative of her virtues and her blood. Miss Oustis was the heiress expectant of two of the largest estates that Virginia could then boast of, and it is rather a curious and interesting fact that her uncle, Wni. JI. Fitzhugh, already spoken of, was one of the first largo owners of slaves in Vir ginia who provided for their emancipa tion by will, and provided liberally for their future education and support. I had the honor of forming Mrs. Lee's personal acquaintance in 1825, and the various accidents of a vexed and tumultuous life withheld me from the enjoyment of a blessing which I should always have so highly prized un til the lapse of thirty-seven years had proved to hotli of us how time steals on us and steals from us; snatching fire from the mind and vigor from the limb. When I met her by accident in Rich mond one morning in the year 1802, I found her pale, attenuated, and hob bling on crutches. She was then the u mother of a numerous and worthy off spring, and the dutiful and loving wife of one of the most renowned military commanders of the ago. How tuy heart sorrowed over the troubles and suffer ings which I was told she had been com pelled to enduro as the result of a most calamitous and wasting war, i:i tho bringing on of which, perhaps, no two persons on this broad continent had less participancy than her noble husband and herself.” Hoys and girls, if you wish to aston ish any member of the family, or any coming guests, by some day allowing them to discover their initials neatly printed on a pear, peach or apple as it hangs on its branch, this is the way to carry out your pi au : Just before the fruit ripens cut the desired letters from a sheet of thin, tough poper ; then paste them on the side cf the fruit most ex posed to the sun, and when in course of ’ time vou remove the paper from the j rjpe surface you will find the letters ! ritutieetlv parked upon It. TIC HE MUTE** IA LIFE. Success in life is not one chance, but a thousand. The special end toiled for may not be attained. The steps taken toward that end will prove of farg-oat cr consequence. You are a business man, perhaps, and your ventures have miscarried one after*nnother, and now you look sadly back through a long vista of disappointments and defeat. But meanwhile you are known to be a good man and tiue —a kind husband and father, a loyal citizen and a faith ful friend—and many a man who has passed yon in the race for wealth and fame may look with envy upon tho love and respect you have gained by your personal character and service-). Yonr want of success in business life may he due to some lack in yourself, or may result from something adverse in your surroundings; but remember that, while your undertakings may fail over again, you yourself may he a glorious success. And here we touch upon the true solu tion of the whole difficulty. We are miserable and sad over our failures in life, because we mistakenly identify our selves with the special object we have in view. But this is a great mistake. It is because wc cherish this superficial philosophy of life which makes this end supreme and count for nothing the steps taken toward the end, that wo produce such shallow and dishonest types of character at the present day —these shoddy contractors, flash-in-tbe-pan gen erals, sensational preachers, and clap trap politicians. No. wc have a right to count effort as well as effect. Not the* result of a course of conduct, hut the motive and nature of it, arc the all-important mat ter. You cannot command success, whether the means employed he fair or foul, but it ntHkcs a great deal of difference to your personal character and to your fcllowmen what kind of methods you employ. The consequen ces of your actious are a great deal more important than the particular end they are intended to subserve. A good end cannot justify had means, for these have already reacted upon your charac ter, and by force ot example dctnorilized others also. But if you fail in manli ness, courage, and integrity, then all outward success amounts to nothing. The man himself is the true end, and so far as wc fall short of that ideal, wo fail. Outward plans depend upon a thousand contingencies, but this inuer triumph the world can never deprive you of, be cause tho world never gave it to you. Let us hear uo more sneers, then, at any want of temporal success ; no deprecia tion of patient pains-taking, or laborious effort. No man fails who docs his duty. If you are conscious of a rightcouspur pose and tho use of honest methods, you have succeeded already, whatever may bo the result.— Exchange. A Singllar Case. —On the 15th day of August, 1860, the dwelling-house of Geo. Worcester, in the town of Har vard, was burned, and a man named Clark Fairbanks, who resided in the town, and had some difficulty with Mr. Worcester, was suspected so strongly of haviti" set the fire that ho was arrest ed, tried and convicted of arson, being sentenced October 21, 18G1, to inipris onment for life in the State Prison. He was pardoned April 29, 1871, on con dition that if again convicted of any crime his first sentence should hold good against him. In May last, while in liquor, he quarrelled with a man in Fitchburg, was prosecuted, convicted for assult and battery, and sentenced for one month iu the House of Correction. At the expiration of the thirty days, Warden Chamberlyn called for him, and uuleis again pardoned he will have to serve a life sentence. Boston Pont.

Norn ino to Do. — We havo heard 1 hundreds complain, within the laif twelve months, of having “nothing to' do.” So long as our corn, oats, flour, bacon, hay, potatoes, onions, fruits, clothing, farming and other implements, household comforts—nearly every thing wo eat, wear or enjoy, is brought from' a distance, it appears to us there M much to do. We wanted a wheelbarrow the other day and could not find otic for sale, and yet we found wagons here all the way from Michigan? We wanted a broom —it was from Ohio—and yet broom corn grows as well in Georgia as any where! Wc wanted a bucket—that was from the “big Not rid 1 ’ or. enter prising West !

Jlokkiulk Ml’kdcr. —The Progreu de Nord, of Belgium, tells a story of murder so horrible as to seem almost incredible. It omits to give the name of the village in Belgium where the af fair occuired. It appears that a young girl in service at Brussels had saved a little fortune of 1,800 francs. Hearing her mother was ill and required her care, she left for home by rail, and had to alight about a leaguo distaut there from. To reach her destination she would have had to pass a wood, and fearing the dangers of the way she re solved to pass the night at the bouse of an uncle who lived near by. She cordingly roused her relatives, and hav ing told her story and her fears, was put'into tho room of her female cousin, who was out at work. While lying awake she overheard a conversation which filled her with horror. Her hosts were planning to murder her for the money she carried. Thereupon she leaped from the window and fled, half naked, until, utterly exhausted, she en countered two gendarmes. After she had told them what had happened, they led her back to the uncle’s house, where a light was observed in a distant part of tho garden. The gendarmes ap proached the spot silently, and iound that both the uncle and aunt were en gaged burying a body enwrapt in a blood-stained cloth. The cloth was suddenly snatched away, and the jjur- dorers uttered a common cry of terror. The victim was tbeir daughter, who, having conic home late, bad crept up stairs quietly so as not to alarm her parents, and had been killed in mistake for her cousin. The aunt went mad forthwith, and the uncle stabbed him self from remorse and dread of the con sequences of his crime. There have been a good many vigor-' ous denunciations of the back-pay swin dle, but a convention of farmers in Kan sas has improved ou any of the forms heretofore noticed. In a concise pre amble they characterize the swiudle as “one of the most outrageous steals known* to the civilized world.” A ridiculous instance of the way in which the use of a thing is lost sight of in the ornament with which it ia over laid, is exhibited at Washington. In a ! cemetery there, the rules require the ' corpse to be left in.a chapel, and not deposited in the grave till the funeral, procession has withdrawn, for fear the mourners may tread down the grass sod flowers 1
