There arc .days in our life that , are brighter than others,. when .the sky is clear, and the air ts full of fragrance ; that follows us in alter days like a beaut iful dream that savors of an un real pleasure, that we love to keep as a memento in our.minds.. There are pe riods in oar life whan, wo iigvg all the gloom that at any time clings about us, driven away, and the min i, heart, and till our capacities for refuted pleasure ami enjoyment; leas: a1; wuen our cares, or at least the crowding perplex ities of business are put aside and for gotten for a short happy space, when kindred minds an l ta;tes ; tliat rtta par allel, are delighted -and refreshed by interchange of expression; not only so bill our feelings, our conduct, and our conversation are improved, and become more refined at evoryattompt to please and to deserve merit and appreciation, more especially if we are guide l by an inato disposition, that seeks this pleasant social intercourse, like the stream laugn.ing along,-its pebbly bed seeks its level. The e pleasures are not, with all per sons coulined to periods, I >nt become a part'of the home noli iii'eli. c’.ua! life, thereby lightcninig their Li ors, and lifting from them an incnbu3 that would otherwise weigh them down more rapid ly ; and right here we will take occa sion to say, that happy is that, home thatjcultivates, harbors and keeps those qualities of congeniality and , social cummuuinatinu alive. It is at home and around the fireside as lion. 11. V. Johnson remarked the otiiir day, that principles .of relig ion' virtue and love of t'rutn are instill,-1 into the minds of.the young. The youth in ader life make the citizenship of the country, and are lmt Stereotype’s of their individual home instruction and training. 'This is also true as 'regards their social status, ami it is not, difficult for a boy to learn to like a crowd oi noisy jokers better than a throng ol ladies and‘gentleman wiio are enjoying themselves in the most innocent instnie. live way. IFlien we-come to cor eider how much, happier, and. how much more of the read pleasure of Tile Sue refined amivuifciyalie'jkdri■■k in, ai|sl how lujich more accessible they are to- conviction of right, reason andlrofoYin,'we arc led to deplore society we oo rtbt ineaajtnarkmd of so ciety which exists on fashion, and makes that ami gold its standard, for we consider' such standard devoid of true reiinemont and proper intellectual distinction. -Nor dp we class those that make merry over the con'viml bowl, and that arc most, at hoiuetin the ball room, a3 those that are most happy* most social and most beneficially instructed. Society in none of its prosperous and util ziig ihww, is aided by the ex trem, s that beg:t dissipation in its many Tonus. The intercourse and the feature of social advancement that w<j' contend for is That higher training of ftnfiumd and faculties that ou.lighleus. instructs, elevates and retinea, that gives ns appop hr'victor of life, and learns us hoiv to enjoy it without violating any of its given laws, which violation always brings its penalty. A society that builds its structure, its frame work, its union out oT the elements that go to make np good will, fellows'dp and fra ternity, all of which grow out of hearts and minds tl|at arc pure, and whosecigi putses aud ambitions aspiie to an influ ence for hapoiness an t good, that will not dlo in a day. Such association constitutes the bright days of our life unclouded by prejudice, uninterrupted by bickering and strife, but made clear by love, confidence and congeniality'. * H-. • For tiie Georgia Grange] WM r- AUE w-n d-POOK PEOSIE? py xi r. i;tnn - %Ripi i. oli The causes are so numerous that the with fulVjJxplanatious, would swetl the article beyond the capacity of the paper.

They forced nearly all the- people to do something. We in dulge a majority in idleness, and pay for their ease and luxury. The)' did with out thousands of things we consume on our taste and appetite, and would be happier without'. They produced nearly everything they used, while we buy nearly everything. They were happy and contented at home, while we spend onr money in railroad cars and hotels. They trainc 1 their children for wives and domestic industry, ami for the manly pursirts that are productive, in stead of those that are elegant and amu sing. They lived in plain style a-t to household and equipage, wnlkb 1 or. rode horseback, and dressed in the ar ticles of domestic manufacture ; tan ned their leather au l male their shoes! and harness ; sheared their own sheen.-! and made wool clothes an 1 hats ; ginne 1 their own cotton, and ma le the cotton fabrics that the females wove and dyed in colors; they had their wool shops an 1 blacksmith shops, and common m •- Chanted for Ordinary work. Thev cut their timber for wagons, carts, wheel barrows. and plow stocks an 1 handles from their own f wrests, an l itewe l with their own broad-axes their building tim ber, and rive 1 the covering; with their own fro wars ; they raised their horses, inuTes, bogs, streep an 1 gon'r's. The im prove meats of our times require that all these shall be purchased. They caught their own game and fish to eat ; raised and dried their own fruit ; they planted and produced the root ail vine crop ; l lived well an l were healthy, in those goo l old days pr</msinit .s'ore.s had not been heard of, except what every frugal man had on his own farm. Slid, there is ground to hope that rea son and common-sense, as derived from experience and stern necessity, are co operating to impress the public mind with tint necessity of a fitiuiam-mtal change of our mil*s of life. In order to promote that, change, let us enquire ! what became of our money? Using round , numbers, we have ni.-i le tso.o;) i.0.i0 bales of cotton sin v. tha war, wild throe thousand millions of dollar*;'"'the pro l ceeds of Which, properly husbanded, j would have made us the richest com mon people on the globe, an l our sed ition the, mast popular aii attractive to : people and capital.- in view of that, happy situation,-in | many places, we have w.ide l fields, rot ; ted fences, dilapidated houses,, shabby i homes, relics ol orchards* gardens and I vineyards, depleted slock, sons an 1 ! daughters strangers to industry and I toil, and a Idicted care and fashion, dis courage'! employers and impoverishe 1 laborers, with their hordes of non-work i! ers. 1 have pointed to our ino 33 of life, as one of the great outlets. It is(?) through the-manifold ways and menus , only one of many. The people seem to have been, in many instance.',, bereft of their common Sense in business, ai evidenced bv the failure to keep, the expenditure within the income, which is the key to uiiibok ttrtH explain '‘lfearly every failure that has taken place. They have exerted Ilnur uv st ardent efforts; in vi.siiojary ventures, trusting t > the vagar,es and whims of the go I doss of fortune, they have literally gam bled in credit, irtTTieefiterj.risesof in dustry ms .well as trade. It woltl-l ahnust t'afco a now aiithme l ie for our agricultural people to calcu late the sum; tney have oxpeuila.l. in getting fQady for, going to, at, an i re turning from fairs, and anew magnify ing glass for many of them to discover the benefits they have derive l from them in farming. 11l the,vain hope yf su Idea riches, millions on millions'linw betm expend ed an and worse than wa .ted in gil t-and lottery tickets. it lias been lately published that there are I.UOU.OOOof lifo-insuranee poll cos in the limited States, with tljrecf thousand millions insured ! aud th.iitho amount is annually doubled ! Passing by, for the present, the qnes tion as to the capacity of the companies ever to disburse the vast’aiho’hnt'ofTia bility indicated, and the danger of loss to the insured, if catihoi be reasonably 1 denied, that the efforts of the piople to carry their policies, have had much to do in depleting all classes of in the- iiiteriot,'' and In concentrating capital and building up lni'g! mo tev centres. We have weak and languid circulation, and cod l ami plethora with nndne heat and 1, xnentin the vital center. The,cities go up like magic; the country withers and droops I ike a decayed limb. Several years ago, t tried in vain to warn qrtr poopjo qf this evil,, aud to im press on their minds .tile great truth ! that the money' was needed for the en j terprises and industries of the living. Failures have multiplied, values have I shrank, and those who have not felt the, pressure, and realized the general de cline, are exceptions among our people. We have produced more cotton than the factories need, and they, more goods than the consumers need,' or are able to buy. Trade and transportation have felt the shock. Building has been ar rested and the demand for material abated. Tito numbers engaged in pro ductive industry have diminished, while tiiose living by other means have in creased, and the world, under the im provement* and civilization ofthc times, and onr system of education, is brought to an abnormal state, by the destruction , of th* eqnUibrinm between labor and i production on the one side, and of con j sumption and waste on the other. To meet this exigency, money and securi ties have augnmented and resting like everything else, on uncertain and shift j ing values. Holders are fevirish and restless, and it is difficult to imagine an I interest than is not affected. These changes have been gradually developed. The relief must come the j same way. it is not in the hands of ; legislators, executives or courts, not in 1 the hauds of money corporations, or as sociated bodies, notintha hands of ag j gregate communities. It is in the hands of individual men and women, bovs and girls ! These individuals must find out what have been their respective errors, and set to work an 1 correct them.— JFhen the individuals of a eonunuuit v become prosperous, then the commit li j ty will will be prosperous, an 1 not until then. Relief must come, if at all, by j individual effort, and individual success - cannot be otherwise so wall promote 1. i as by Union and Co-operation. For. TiiE Nffu'.-i ,t P.ajji'iu ANSWER TO E. J. P.

Again you say, “the Greek word baptise never wa : translat ed by .lames’ English Translator." Bro. take your English Testament, and read Mark YU. TIT-TV. then get, someone to read if in the Greek Testament, and see if it, has been translated.” "A little learning is a dangerous tiling.” I see plainly that' these statements, and all that junible about Calvin and Erasmus an 1 Luther are garbled from someplace. Bui if you have done the author justice in culling from him, 1 pity the people who arc edified by his writings, llore 1 drop your criticism with the simple sug igestion, “always look before you leap. ' The position J took in the letter you criticise is this—till Greek word bap tise is a general term, used in both the Septnagint an l the No r Testament to describe various kinds of washing. I re I ere i to several; you refer to t’ e mse of Naamam.
