I LOVE TO LIVF.
“I love to live” said a prattling boy,
As he gaily played with his new bought
toy.
And a merry laugh went echoing forth ;
From a bosom tilled with joyous mirth.
“I love to live” said a stripling bold —
“I will seek for fame—l will toil for gold”
And he formed in his pleasure many a
I plan
j To be carried out when he grew a man.
“I love to live” said a lover true,
“Oh, gentle maid ; I would live for vou ;
I . have labored hard in search of fame—
T Truve found it lTut an empty name.”
' r * . ■ ' *
“I love to live” said a happy sire,
As his children neared the wintry fire ;
For his heart yens cheered to see their joy,
And he almost wished himself a boy.
“1 love to live” said an aged man.
Whose hour of life had, well nigh ran—
Think you such words from him were
wild?
The old man was again a child.
And ever thus in this fallen world,
Is the banner of hope to the breeze un
furled?
And onlj 1 with hope of life on high,
Can a mortal ever love to die.
1 LIVE TO LOVE.
“I live to love” said a laughing girl,
And she playfully tossed each flaxen
curl;
And she climbed on her loving father’s
knee,
And stole a kiss in her childish glee.
“Hive to love” said a maiden fair.
As she twined a wreath for her sister’s
hair;
They were bound by the chords of love
together,
And death alone could these sisters
sever.
•‘I live to love” said a gay young bride,
Her loved one standing by her side,
Her lips told again what her lips had
spoken.
And never was the link of affection
broken.
”1 live to love” said a mother kind—
"l would live a guide to the infant mind”
Her precepts and example given,
Guided her children home to Heaven.
‘•I shall live to love” said a fading form.
And lifer eyes were bright and her cheek
grew warm";
As she thought in tho blissful world on
high,
She would live to love and never die.
And ever thus in this lower world,
Should the Banner of Love be wide un
furled,
And when we meet in the world above,
May we love to live and live to love.
MARRIAGE.
Young man, don’t make a fool of
yourself. Getting married is a serious
thing. When you visit a young lady at
night, and find in the parlor, a kerosene
lamp with the chimney smoked up and
dirty, and after waiting half an hour,
the lady makes her appearance, you may
set it down that the said young lady is
not fit for a wife. She may dance ele
gantly, but she will not keep your house
decent. She may sing like a nightin
gale ; but she will give you a dirty
plate to cat out of. She will be almost cer
tain not to know how to spell A slov
enly woman seldom has a tolerable ed
ucation.
You may think as you please now
about the matter of female education,
and you may talk as you will against
learned women ; but it will not be pleas
ant to find out after marriage, that your
wife cannot write her mother tongue in
tolerable decent style, and that, in her
note to the grocer, she spells sugar,
with an h between the s awl the u. It
is not safe to trust to appearances ; but
.you may know that neatness and culti
vation are commonly near of kin. and
that dirt and bad spelling are apt to go
together. Besides, those women who do
not learn to be neat in their childhood,
rarely learn in later life ; and the girl,
who at sixteen years of age, spells bal
ance with two Is, will probably never
drop the superfluous letter. —Greenville

RROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
Friendship is a good deal like china.
It is very durable and beautiful as long
as it is quite whole ; but break it and all
the cement in the world will not quite
repair the damage.
You may stick the pieces together so
that at a distance it looks nearly as well
as ever, but won’t hold hot water. It
is always ready to deceive you, if you
trust it; hut it is on the whole a very
worthless thing, fit only to be put emp
ty on a shelf and forgotten there.
The finer and more delicate it is, the
more utter the min. A mere acquaint
anceship, which needs only a little ill
humor to keep it up, may bo coarsely
puttied like that old yellow basin in the
store closet; but tenderness, and trust
and sweet exchange of confidence can
no more be yours when angry words
have broken them, than can those deli
cate porcelain tea-cups, which were
splintered to pieces, be restored to their
original excellence.. The slightest crack
will spoil the ring, and you had better
search for anew friend than mend the
old one,

THE COLORED PEOPLE.
The only newspaper in Mississippi
that is edited by colored men publish
es an article in which it asserts that the
time has come for the colored people to
take anew departure, cut loese from
the political adventurers who, while
professing all sorts of friendship for the
negroes, only to use then to accomplish
their sinister designs, and join hi with
men of character and respectability in
the community, who are bound to the
soil of the State by ties stronger than
offices or political emolument. The
colored voters of the South are learning
that their self constituted leaders are as
selfiali as they are unprincipled, -and
that they cannot impoverish the whites
by their schemes of public robbery
without inflicting equal injury on the
blacks, whose interests are inseparably
connected with those of their white
neighbors. It will not be long before
the influence of the carpet-baggers over
the blacks in all the Southern States
will be gone, and then the colored vo
ters will naturally seek the advice of
the best class of citizens in regard to
the choice of public officers, as they now
look to the same class for counsel and
assistance in the ordinary affairs of
life.
A ROMANCE OF THE WEST.
A sad, sweet story is told of the
daughter of Spotted Tail, the Indian
chief, which illustrates most forcibly the
truth of the oft-quoted remark, “One
touch of nature makes the whole world
kin.” During the latter years of the
recent war, the family of Spotted Tail
resided at Fort Laramie, and among
them was his favorite daughter, a young
girl just emerging into the mysterious
realm of womanhood. The Fort was
garrisoned by a regiment of Ohio vol
unteers, and among the officers was a
young man of good address and hand
some appearance, with whom the young
Indian girl became infatuated. Her
passion was not reciprocated by the of
ficer, who had honor enough to tell the
child of the forest that he did not, and
could not love her or marry her. She
a princess, and a daughter of the haugh
tiest Indian chief in the West, could
not be made to understand win- she
was not a fitting bride for any one.
Day after day she would dress herself
in her most gorgeous apparel, and, go
ing to the front, would sit down upon
the doorstep of the young officer, con
tent with being near him, and happy
when Iter eyes rested upon him. Spot
ted Tail was absent. When he heard
the sad story of his daughter's infatua
tion, he came to her and remonstrated,
but to no avail. Finally he had her
removed to the Rooky Mountains,
where she might not see her soldier
lover. Soon a message came to the
father—the daughter was dying of a
broken heart. He hurried to her side,
and heard her, with all the simple elo
quence of her race, plead that he would
remain at peace with the palefaces, be
cause the one she love 1 was of them,
and they could not be bad. Site want
ed her body carried to Laramie and
buried near the fort, that in death she
might lie near him for love of whom
she died, Thither they bore her and
laid her in the grave as do the pale-fa
ces their dead, and this is the story of
Spotted Tail's daughter, as told to-day
around the camp fires in the great
West.
WAIT.
Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibly wny your wife don't get along
with the household responsibilities as
‘your mother did.’ She is doing her
best—aud no woman can endure, that
best, to be slighted. Remember the
long, weary nights she sat np with the
little babe that died ; remember the love
and care she bestowed upon you when
you had that long fit of illness. Do you
think she is made of cast iron? Wait—
wait in silence and forbearance, and
the light will come back to her eyes—
the old light of the old days.
Wait, wife, before you speak reproach
fully to your husband when he comes
home late, weary and ‘out of sorts.’ He
lias worked hard for you all day—per
haps far info the night; he has wres
tled, hand in hand, with care, and sel
fishness, and greed, and all the demons
that follow the train of money-mak
ing. Let home be another atmosphere
entirely. Let him feel there is no other
place in the world whore he can find
peace, and quiet, and perfect love.
And all this has nothing to do with
forgiveness. One may forgive and be
forgiven, but the deed has been done,
and the word said ; the flowers and the
gilding are gone. The formal making
especially between two women, is of no
more avail than the wonderful cements
that have made a cracked ugliness of
the china vase that you expected to
be your joy forever.
Handled delicately, washed to purity
in the waters of truth, conlided to no
careless, unsympathising hands, friend
may last two lives out; but it does not
pay to try to mend it—once broken, it
is spoiled forever.
”We need the means for organizing
the Democratic party in this State,”
said a leading politician. A Western
man responded promptly by telegraph;
“will ship to-day one barrel whiskey and
one orator; invoice by mail.”
An Irishman says that tho only way
to stop suicide is to make it a capital
offence, punishable with death.
NEGRO OUTRAGES.
Negro outrages upon respectable
white women in the South have become
so common as jto attract the attention
even of Northern journals, and the New
York Day Book, after noticing an in.
stance in Tennessee last week, where
a negro outraged the person of a highly
respectable married lady says :
“We are sick of recording, weekly
these abominations of hell. If this in
fernal black race cannot be made to
cease these atrocious acts, we suggest'
that the rope be abandoned and the fag
got be applied. Hanging is no penalty
at all. The balance of Mrs. Lennox’s
life is torture worse than death. It is
horror no human pen can paint. It is
mental suffering to all near and dear to
her of a character not to be depicted.
It is indescribably shocking to the com
munity among which she painfully ex
ists. It is a damning crime committed
against white civilization, which every
miserable black caicass that now cum
bers this broad country if consumed in
a slow fire, could not atone for. We, as
puplic journalists, have made record
since this country was cursed with nig
ger “freedom,” of hundreds of these
hellish sins, fruits of negro equality;
and if the black brutes cannot be made
to confine their crimes of this nature
to their own race, we advise the burn
ing, over a slow fire, of the next fiend,
and let it be doue by armed citizens ;
let every nigger in the county be driven
to the show to witness the penalty for
the very worst act that can be commit
ted on God’s earth. Here murder is a
ehilds’ pastime compared with it. No
jury, unless of all niggers, would hesi
tate one moment to render a verdict of
“not guilty” touching the burning, when
such a righteous dispensation of justice
came before them ”
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
A Grand Collective Exhibiton of Georgia

Department of Agriculture, s
Atlanta, Aug. 17, 1875. )
It is the desire of the Commissioner
of Agriculture to exhibit, at the Fair to
be belli under the auspices of the Geor
gia State Agricultural Society, at Ma
con, Georgia, commencing on the 18th
of October next, and continug five days,
samples of all the products of Georgia
soil.
The design is to exhibit, in one col
lection, the great variety of Agricultu
ral and Horticultural productions of all
sections of our State. This is an enter
prise in which every Georgian is inter
ested, and to which each should be
proud to contribute.
You are therefore earnestly requested
to collect and forward to Mason, ad
dressed to T. P. Jaues, careof M. John
son, Secretary ol’ the Georgia State Ag
ricultural Society, samples of the pro
ducts of your section, distinctly labeled
with the name and post office address
of the producer, the quantity he has for
sale, if any, and a brief statement of
the time of planting, mode of culture, or
manufacture, &e. All except perisha
ble articles should be shipped so as to
arrive at Macon by the 15th of October;
perishable products, such as vegetables,
and fruits, by the 16th.
Selections will be made, by the Com
missioner, from this display, of suitable
samples for permanent exhibition in the
office of tho Department of Agriculture,
at the Capitol.
The State Geologist will co-operate
with the Commissioner of Agriculture
in securing a complete illustration of tiie
resources of Georgia, and will exhibit
in the same building samples of forest
products, and mineralogical specimens
from all sections of the State.
All Georgians are invited to contrib
ute to this display, and the correspon
dents of the Department of Agriculture
are especially requested to see that their
counties are properly represented.
Samples of goods, models of machin
ery, and implements of Georgia manu
facture, art) also solicited. Anything
which will illustrate the industry or re
sources af Ur grand otd State will be re
ceived in this display, which the Com
missioner hopes will he worthy of Geor
gia and Georgians.

Turnips,- We have frequently express
ed the opinion, and again repeat it, that
our people do not raise one-fourth (and
probably not one tenth) as many turnips
as they ought to. Every body has a
patch for family use, it is true. This is
good as far as it goes, but instead of
patches, they should be sown in fields.
They are good for all kinds of stock,
especially horned cattle and sheep.
When boiled, they are good for hogs also.
It is the turnip crop fed to sheep
which has made England and Scotland
so rich, agriculturally. There is no
better sheep country than this section
of Georgia.
Now is the very nick of time to sow
your seed. Let the grounp bo well pre
pared, and have several sowings during
the month. —Athens Watchman.
It doesn’t take long for a man with a
small mind to make it up.
THE CAPABILITIES OF AN
ACRE OF GROUND.
J. M. Smith, a market gardener at
Green Bay, furnishes some interesting
statements of his experiments in high
culture. He has found the rule invari
able, not a single exception to it, that
the more he has spent cultivating and
manuring, the greater have been the net
profits per acre. Last season he culti
vated fourteen acres, and began with a
; more thorough and expensive cultiva
: tion than ever before. The result was
that, although there was a “terrific
droughth,” one of the dryest seasons
ever known in that region, after spend
ing $3,98G or $384 per acre, he had a
better balance than for any previous
year He appears to regard constant |
cultivation, especially through droughts
in connection with copious manuring, j
as all important. Stable manure is the j
standard, with such superphosphates, !
plaster, l>me, ashes and other manures
as experience and good sense point out.
“After you have learned how to spend [
money to the best advantage,” he re-'
marks, "a larger profit may be made by j
laying out S3OO per acre than less. Af- j
ter the second year if your land does j
not pay all its expenses, taxes, and ten !
per cent, on SIOOO per acre, there is
something wrong somewhere. I have
some acres of land that did not pay ex
penses for two years, but for a number
ofyeaes past have not failed ten per
cent, on at least $2,000 per acre. I ex
pect ray whole garden to do more than
that in a short time. He adds that he
is now aiming at 1,000 bushels of onions
per acre, then a crop of carrots or tur
nips, or 500 bushels of early potatoes ;
or, if strawberries, 13,800 quarts, or
400 bushels per acre.— Covington Star
FARMING AS A BUSINESS.
Agriculture is so fascinating, so noble,
so grand in all il3 relations and bear
ings, tiiat all classes of readers, if they
do not own a rod of land, are fond of
agricultural literature. There are but
very few in anv of the professions, or
any of the industrial pursuits, who do
not cherish a secret hope or expecta
tion that some day they will ovvn a farm,
and till it, and die upon it. As peopie
grow older, they love to think of mother
earth; they love to look upon broad
acres, covered with the bounteous gifts
of Providence; the;/ love to hear the
birds sing ; they love to look up into
the heavens, broad and expansive ; they
love to bathe in the sunlight, and feel
the mild breezes of Summer, laden with
sweet odors from woods and flowers.
Young men often say they hate farming
and all that is connected with the pur
suit. They would, like John Randolph,
go out of their way a mile to kick a
sheep ; and, as to cows, oxen and all
animals but. a horse, they never wish to
look upon them. If they live to middle
life, they “meet with a change,” and if
their success has been indifferent in
whatever pursuit they may have fallen
into, then the wish is heard expressed,
that they had remained upon the farm.
The tilling of the soil is a glorious call
ing, and depend upon it, young men,
the time is coming when it will be more
remunerative than most trades and pro
fessions.—Recorder.
SIipEP ON THE FARM.
Sheep are undervalued by the mass of
land-holders as a means of keeping up
the fertility of the soil and putting
money into the pockets of the farmers.
The moment one begins to talk ol‘ sheep
husbandry, the listener or reader be
gins to look for wool quotations, as if
the wool was all that yields profit from
sheep. Ono might as well look for wheat
quotations alone when there is talk
about the profits of farming.
Sheep on a farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great ra
pidity. The}’ are the best of farm scav
engers, “cleaning a field” as no other
class of animals will. They give back
to the farm more in proportion to what
they take from it than any other animal,
and distribute it better with a view to
the future fertility of the soil. Prove
this? There is no need of proof to those
who have kept sheep, aud know their
habits and the profits they yield. To
prove it to those who have not the ex
perience. it is necessa-y they should try
the experiment or accept tho testimony
of an experienced shepherd.— N. Y.

lie was a Quaker, lean, solemn and
hungry looking. He stepped into a
restaurant to dine. Bread, meat, vege
tables and a pie were, placed before him.
Before he reached the pie his appetite
was satisfied.
“llow much am Ito pay thee?” he
said to the waiter.
“Fifty cents, sir.”
“lie looked sadly at the untouched
pie and hesitated.
“Will the price be the same if I eat
the pie?” he asked.
“Yes. sir,” said the waiter ; “it is fifty
cents for the dinner.”
Then the Quaker sat down again and
disposed of the pie, because he prefer
red to make his stomach suffer than
that his conscience should ever accuse
him of not getting his money's worth.
Then he went home, and shortly af
terwards he died, and his epitaph
reads:
Of hunger ho died not;
Neither from gunshot;
But his belly he trusted
Too long and it busted.

HO W HE WON HER
A young couple were occupying a
j rustic scat in the Park one evening re
cently and from the expression of the
masculine representative’s face, it was
evident he had, as it were, drifted over
the great psychological Niagara of af
• feetion, and was even then being whirl
j ed about in the frothy whirl-pool of sen-
I timent. The swimming swans had no
charms for him; the eagles were as
nothing to him and he did not even no
tice the big white bear.
“Oh, do be mine,” he said, attempt
ing to draw her a little nearer his end of
the seat.
She made herself rigid, and heaved a
sigh. _
| “I’li be a good man, and give up all
my bad habits,” he urged.
No reply.
| “I'll never drink another drop,” lie
• continued.
Still unrelentingly sat the object of
his adoration.
| “And give up chewing—”
' No response.
“And smoking—”
Cold as ever.
“And join the church—”
! She only shook her head.
1 “And give you a diamond engage
ment ring," he added, in desperatirn.
Then the maiden lifted her dn. /ping
eyes to his, leaning her frizzles on his
shoulder, and tremblingly murmured in
his ravished ear:
“Oh. Edward, you—you are so very
good S”
And there they sat and sat, until
the soft arms of night—that dusky nurse
of the worl I—had folded them from !
sight, pondering, planning, thinking— !
she of the diamond ring, and he of how i
on earth he was to get it.
DICKENS " ADVICE TO IIIS SOX.
It is said the following letter written
by Charles Dickons to his son, as tho
latter left his home Australia, defines
more sharply t han anything else the
novelist ever wrote, his own religious
belief:
“I put in anew Testament, because
it is the best book that ever was or ever
will be known in the world ; and be
cause it teaches the best lessons by
which any human creature, who tries to
be faithful aud truthful to duty, can
possibly be guided. As your brothers
have gone away one by one, 1 have
written to each such words as I am
writing to you, and have entreated them
all to guide themselves by this Book,
putting aside the interpretations and in
ventions of man.
I must now solemnly impress upon
you the truth and beauty of the Chris
tian religion, as it came from Christ
Himself, and the impossibility of your
going far wrong if you humbly, but
heartily respect it. Only one thing
more on this head. Tho more we are in
earnest as to feeling it. the less we are
disposed to hold forth about if. Never
abandon the wholesome practice of say
ing your own private prayers at night,
and morning. I have never abandoned
it myself, and I know the comfort of it
