( ' GREASE, It may not bo poetical, but it is nevertheless tt-uc, that tho path of life would be exceedingly rough without tho practical application of grease. The milk of human kindness might bo term ed tho oil of charity, not only tho chari ty that giveth, but the charity that forgiveth. No machinery will work without oil. Pour sand into tho wheels of cars or steamboats, and witness the result; tho sand must be removed, and oil put in its place, before tho wheels will do their duty. Your watch stops. You find it tho cause. Dust has worked its way in be tween tho covers, and tho delicate machinery is powerless. Clean and oil it, and ail goes well again. If we are so careful to remove tho impediments, and to oil all the crea tions of a man, how much more partic ular we should be in attending to tho wonderful works of God. Nothing on earth requires so much oil as the na ture of man, a nd it is the duty of every one to U3O that smoothing power just as often as it is required. Tho head of a household needs to have a good stock of the oil of patience always on baud, for if the sand of dis content and continual fault-finding is ever poured into the ears of the mem bers of the family, home will be far from being the haven of rest it should ■ be. And a good example of kindness and consideration is fouud in ono in power, others are most apt to follow it. Children aro like watches, tender care and faithful attention only can keep the dust from the delicate and frail machinery ; nothing but the oil of love and patience can make the wheels run smoothly. There arc so many difFerant kinds of grease ueeded that wo shall attempt to name but few. The merchant would soon find his business in sad condition did he not use the oils qf prompt pay ment, system, firmness, and universal kindness. Ho must be kind to thoso in his employ, polite and obliging to his patrons. Tho lawyer must be oiled with a fee before lie uses the oil of eloquence by which he gains his client’s case. The church is like the family, while the power of mouey is needed for its support, there arc many other oils re quired to make tho institution an agtt:eabfe one. The pastor must please his people —he must preach good ser mons —must neither bo too long nor too short; he must be faithful in his at tentions to his flock, prompt in his vis its," at home when his parishioners call on bin), and always on hand when con solation or advice is ueeded. The Sunday school is a combination of families, aud while each family is under tho care of a teacher, tho whole comes under the direct control and su pervision of the superintendent, whose business it is to keep smooth the entire flook of little ones and their teachers, which must be at times a most difficult matter, when all have different wishes and tastes, even in religion. Theu, too, j the financial affairs of tho school, come before the superintendent. It is his business, when the amount of money on hand is not sufficient for • the demand, to sec that the deficiency is filled, and if not from other sources, it must come from his own pocket. He perhaps works hard all tho week, and Sunday brings no rest to his weary brain and body, for he is throughout the day thinking about his charge, if he is not actually at his labors. In truth, from our personal observation, we are con vinced that no two persons outside of the household need more of the oil of patience than the pastor of a church and the suporiutondeut of a Sunday school But wO forgot the editor; and his position is by no means au easy one to fill. Fancy his feelings when flic hour “8 ALUS POP XT Xj I BUPRBMA LEX E S TO.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1873. draws near for tho paper to bo ready for tho eager public, and lie is told that half the reporters were on a “bust” last night, and most of tho editors aro missing. In vain the “devil” calls for copy, while tho editor searches his brain for an idea, and uses his last re sort, the scissors with but slight grati fication. Then, too, at best, his is a sorry life,.for he must gratify the fan cies of all his readers or else the paper is lost. The .doctor, of course, requires a good supply of oil among his medicines, for illness will make almost any naturo rough. lie has not only tho trouble of his patients to bear, but should ho bo so unfortunate as to lose one, or any acci dent should happen, ho must endure tho fault-finding and accusations of the friends) and thoso arc often quite as hard to bear as the feeling which will come : “Suppose I had done different ly, she might now be alive.” We have mentioned but a few eases where oil is needed, but enough to show that in every sphere of life, no matter what our condition or position may be, we all require judicious application aud a bountiful supply of that most useful of all rust removers—grease. — Mary E. Lambert. Who are to be Styled Gentlemen - ■ —An ludiana gentleman—you may see that he was a gentleman from a remark he made—was recently acquitted by a sympathetic jury tor the murder of his wife. Ho -ose, bowed to the twelve good and true men who had treated him so handsomely, and thinking that one good turn deserved another, said, “Boys, I reckon I can stand the soda water on that.” Is there not a moral in this pleasing incident, if wc would take the trouble to sec it ? How many regard the public acts of public functionaries’ exactly according to tho way they are affected by them. Davy Crockett once called a cotcnrperary in the Senate a geutloman and a statesman, because, said Davy, -‘he gave mo flio brandy bottle and looked away when I poured out my drink.” -There aro gentlemen of good standing iu this city, whose opinion of a third term depends entire ly upon the way they are treated on a given Sunday at Long Branch. Tne great issues dependent upon such an election siuk out of sight, in view of the personal aspects of. the case. A lady, not entirely disinterested in the matter, once said, I think it would be a .verygracefulcomplimeut to Mr. , to elect him again.” The interests of thirty millions do not weigh very heavi ly in view df that sound Democratic maxim which enjoins the greatest good of the greatest number—and it, has long ago been said that the greatest number is Number One.— Exchange. ■ m *• . Poor Wretch. —A country paper of last week says: “A lady in this city tied her hubby's hands and feet, the other day, just for fun, and then went through his pockets for a certain billet deux, and fouud it. His physician tells him that his face won’t be badly scarred, though ho may remain permanently bald.” Insult not misery, neither deride in firmity, nor ridicule deformity; the first shows inhumauity, the second folly, aud the third pride. Every period of life has its peculiar prejudices. Whoever saw old age that did not applaud tho past, and coudemn the present times ? Memory is a patient camel, bearing lingo burdens over life’s sandy desert. Intuition is a bird of paradise, drink ing-in tho aroma of celestial flowers. It may seem strange, but it is true, that a man iu New York, perfectly uneducated in art, took half a dozen exquisite portraits in less than half an hour. Wc must add, that lie hiiffsolf | was soou afterwards taken for the theft. TWO HOT,KARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. [Hannibal (Mo.)Courier.] A WEEK WORTH HAVING. A gentleman who resides a few miles in the country announced liis intention of coming to the city to get a few of the necessaries of life. His good wife, who evidently reads the papers and knows what is going on, furnished her “old man” with the following memo randum, recognized the fact that ‘These inen arc so stupid” and always forget what they are sent after. But here is the seasonable list of necessaries, which though not in strictly clerkly form is nevertheless to the point, and well cal culated to make au impression on tho mind : Get a pound of tea. And don’t forget to go to Brown’s drug store aud get eight pouuds of cop peras and a pint of carbolic acid. Get a dollars worth of loaf sugar. Bring a dozen lemons. If you have a chance you had better bring a bushel of lime. We ought to have a poiiud of ground mustard and some ginger. Get a gallon.of coal oil and a demi john of. whiskey. Bo particular and don’t get them mixed—have the coal oil put into the can, and tho whiskey in the demijohn. If you see a uice piece of calico you might bring mb enough for a wrapper. Go to Oryn,ski’s and get a bottle of his blackberry syrup. The flour Is out. Bo careful and don’t drink any well water while in town. Be sure aud get a bottle of Hamlin’s cholera cure. We ought to have a dozen knives and forks for the kitchen. Go to McClcery’s and get a bottle of Dr. McCabe’s blackberry brandy, Don't bring any green thing home to make the children sick. Don't forget the coal oil aud the demijohn, and be sure to keep thorn separate. Go to Oheover’s and get a bottle of syrup of blackberry and ginger. Get a [tint of cognac, brandy. Keep away freui them lusty ponds unless they are filled up. . If you sec any good disinfectant i bring some home. Get a few pounds of crackers and rice, and some oatmeal. If you sec the doctor ask him to give you a prescription to cure cholera. Be careful and don’t brcakjtlie demi - john. Johnny needs a pair of shoes. You had better call at the drug stores aud see who has got the host cholera medicine. Now, don’t forget any of those things, and keep this list in your hat where you can find it. Come home early. About four o'clock yesterday after noon the man with the memorandum might have been scon going out Broad way with all his horse could draw, his roekaway resembling the hospital supply train of an army corps. If the cholera ever goes out in that direction it will meet with a warm reception. Rheumatism. —Those who arc suffer ing from this distressing complaint should give the following remedy a fair trial. It is one used by an cmiucut physician for many years with marked success, and is now given to tho public with tho assurance of its effectiveness. We believe that poke-berries aro now kept at the drugstores —if so, they can bo had at any time. Take pokc-berrics two ounces, best gin one pint. Let stand long enough for tho spirits to ex tract the virtue of the berry, then for an adult the dose is a tablespoonful three times a day. Thissimplo remedy generally effects a complete euro in a few weeks. * ** Sincerity is speaking as we think, be lieving as we pretend,acting as we pro- I foss, performing as wc appear. ((HITE ENOUGH MARRIED. An incident of crossing the plains in the early days was told by a clever lady at the breakfast tablo one morning at Frisco. A Dutchman and his wife traveled West, and arrived at Salt Lake, where they halted for a few weeks. The Mormons got around tho old Dutchman and coaxed him to join their ranks. Af ter retiring one night in their canvas covered wagon bed, the good Dutchman broke the matter to his better half, hint ing to her that the Mormons told him ho had better “stay, settle among deni, and take soino more wives.” How many vives you tinks you vfints ?” ask ed Kathrina. Tho Dutchman thought “fife more vould make a half doien al ready whereupon the old wife got down hor boddiee, and slipped from it what the Dutchman called tho “prost bonrd, vich vas‘ made from Vjsconsin hickory vas very tough,” and she laid the hickory fierce aud fast on tho old man, who shuffled out of the wagon and fell in a ditch. The old man got up, said his “stomach it vas very cold, but bis back it va*s very varm.” His wife cried out “How many vitfes you tink you vants now, ould fool ?” Buc the Dutchman felt, and expressed that one was enough. - ——.—■— REST AWHILE. Coinc apart and rest awhile, men of business; believe me, there is now and then a profitable venture iu doing no thing at all. In the power to piit busi ness aside, and abiding now and then in a perfect quiet, things sometimes solve themselves, when we give them that advantage, which refuses to come clear for all our trying. We all know how, by simply taking some perplexity into tho deepest silence this side of death—a good night’s sleep—we can do better sometimes than if we eat up and wrought at a task all night. When Matthew Murray, of Leeds, wanted to see Lis way through some "sore perplexi ty in his inventions, and all other ef forts were of no use, he rested day and night from all noise, and all effort, ex cept the effort an active man has to keep himself quiet; and then the thing he wanted would steal in and look at him, and light on him, and stay as birds used to light on the old hermits, no more afraid of them than of the trees under which they sat. And, mothers, you too may care and toil incessantly for your little ones, nev er resting a moment in your devotion ; aud then because you never do be quiet, but enter into your very closet with a little frock to mend, you shall never be able to take the whole sunlight and sum of your motherhood into your heart. You will be so full of care about tlio bread that perisheth as to miss tho bread that cometh down from Heaven. No person in the world needs so much now and then to be, still, and open her soul only to the silence, as an earnest, energetic, whole-hearted mother. This eternal activity is suro to run at last into shallows, and cheat the soul out of its just and right inheritance, the presence of tho Heavenly Master, the strength and joy which flow from calm and secret fellowship with God. A good joke is told on Henry Clews —tho somewhat notonus baukor of Wall street, and who formerly held the position of financial agent of Georgia aud Alabama while these States were under the carpet-bag rule, as well as the position of leading negotiator of the railroad bonds of these States. The joke ruus, that on the occasion of a wine-drinking iu New York, lie took occasion to impress the idea that he was a self-made man. Clows being en tirely bald-headed, a gentleman present aptly propounded the query : “Clews, you say you are a self-made man ?” “Yes, sir I claim that distinction.” “Then, why iu the devil didn't you ' put ijome lmir on your head ?

CA El U OR AIA JUSTICE. Old “Judge” i>. of Santa Cruz, Cal ifornia, was ono of the oddest of tho many oddities seen in early days in that wonderful State. From early manhood to its prime lie wandered over the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, trapping and hunting till he brought up in Califor nia, shortly before tho occupancy of that country by the United States forces '—making a precarious living by bunt ing and tanning the skins of bis game. “Many a time,” said lie, “have I gone bare till I could tan a buek skin to make me a suit of clothes, and oftener have I packed elk skins fifty miles to a little trading port, where Stockton now stands, to sell them for a dollar apiece, to buy. me ammunition and groceries.” About the time Colonel Bennett Riley was Governor, old B located at Santa Cruz, when being able to read and write, and possessed of good “horse sense,” he was elected Alcade, or Just ice of the peace, which office be held to the satisfaction of himself and the com munity over which lie exercised juris diction, till the catastrophe which brought bis* judicial career to a close,and which ho described in this way : “Well, the windin’ up uv my Alcadcship was this: “Ahalfbrc'-.d Vaquero tbar in Santa Cruz tuck it into his head to git jealous of his wife, and so he went off and got rippin’ drunk on aqua ardiente —come home, tied up his woman to the bed-post by the hair of her head, and just nat’rally whipped the life out of her with his raw-hide lariat. Next morning some of the neighbors come in and found the greaser in bed, the bloody lariat in his band, and the poor “mugcr” dtad as a skinned elk. So they fotched Mister Vaquero up before me, with all the witnesses, and after bearin’ the case patiently, I found him guilty and sen tenced him to bo taken out into the Plaza and shot, which was done accord ingly. Then, to do things up squar’, I sot down and wrote a letter to old Ben Riley—military guv’nor, you know —and told him the whole state of tho case and submitted it for bis approval. In about ten clays I got an answer back, a just givin’ me h—l, saying I was on ly a justice of tho peace and hadn’t no jurisdiction iu capital cases nohow ; that the Tuan should ha’ been tried be fore a regular court and jury nDd the sentence sent to him for approval be fore it was executed, and a whole raft of truck of that kind; and windin’ up by saying he should deprive mo of my com mission of Aleade. Well you bet I wasn’t goiid to be backed down that way, so I up and wrote him agin ; told him the greaser was tuck red handed in the act; that I decided tho case on ‘'principles of nat’ral justice,” and he got just wluit he deserved; that if a justice of the peace wasn’t to keep peace iu his district, I’d like to know what lie was thar for; and as to his taking away my commission of Aleade, 1 didn’t want it nohow, and he might take it aud bo d—d. And do you believe it, lie never answered my letter ?” - m A Dog Fight. —A couple of dogs were having a dispute on the opposite side of a slat fence, tho other morning, when one of them, letting his valor get the better of his discretion, plung ed his head through the slats, in the hope of nipping his antagonist. That was where he made the mistake ; the head went through nicely, but would not pull back. The other pup, seeing his foe in chancery, leisurely com menced eating up the front part of his head aud cars. There was “music in the air” about that time, and tbo un earthly yelping brought the juvenile owner of that demoralized canine to the rescue. Ho took in the situation at ouce, and •freezing on to the dog’s tail, and bracing himself against the fence, ho pulled bis level best. For a mo ment it was doubtful which would give way first, the tail, the head, or the picket; but, with a final surge, the boy brought away tho pup minus the big gest part of both cars. The first jump the dog uutdc when loose was some thing over twcuty feet, and, with a con tinous wail of grief, he disappeared, round the corner.
