CLEMENT, Rome, Ga, SUMMERYIId.E, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 7, 1878. Don’ts for Old Maids. Don’t get sou rod with the whole world because m me of the 1 rot hors dido t take you in out of the cold; maybe it was your fault. Don’t think, when you look back through the vista of years and see your self, ip imagination, leaning over the garden gate with that fellow on the other side, that y< u made a narrow escape, lie might have only been fooling with you. Don’t think if yon had it all to do over againyou would dodiffcrcu ly and hotter. The probabilities arc you would he about as much of a goose as vou were then. Don’t try to make the whole w rid be lieve that you are in downright earnest and wouldn’t marry the best man on top of the giound if you oould, for you know you would. Don’t say that all women are simple tons who marry, for that is not compli mentary to your in dher. Don’t tfiutik goodness when you sec ha f a dozen urchins making it lively for your neighboring sisteis that they ain’t yours. Y'ou don't know how much fun it is to be wallopping them with a siipper rr dosing them with paregoric. Don't swear oil from human society and take all your stock in poodles or pet eats. They are just us moan us men when you refuse their caprices. Don’t think the world don't put u proper estimate upon your value. It does. Mothers are constantly pointing to you as examples for their frisky daughters. Don’t think you ought to smile the less because you haven’t any one in particular to smile for. Smile for spite, if for noth ing else, just to make men sorry that they left such a hunch of animated sunshine go uncaptured. Don't think you ought to be staid an 1 sombre. 1 hat s a mi-lake. fou have so fw of the responsibilities of life that you ought to be as merry as a bird all the time. Don’t think Eve made a mistake when she concluded not to live an old maid, for neighbor a were so far apart then that she would have been very lonely. Don't while away the dull hours by becoming a gossip monger. If you want an occupation start a base ball club. Don’t wear a long face and look as if you dieted yourself on crab apples. It is just as easy to look bright, sweet and pleasant. One of the brightest mortals in our acquaintance never acknowledged allegiance to any of the lords of creation, looks as merry as a June morning, and everybody likes her. Don't retire like a recluse and grope through life in solitude. The one who i> confined to his or her ov n society alone has generally very uninteresting company. Don’t think there is something radically defective about the world because it don’t run exactly according to your notion. There are thousands of people who do think so and yet they fail to u ake it any hotter. Don’t pet worried with the little fellows because they romp, and yell and raise the mischief generally. That’s a way they have of letting folks know they are about. Don’t complain at the world you live in, but make the best of it while you are • here, trip through it lightly, merrily as you can, and at the end you will find that while you have had some of its trials you have also escaped many, arid enjoyed an average share of blessings. Be an Editor. A young man writes fVom one of the rural villages of Tennessee: “I have been teaching school ever since 1. quit school j about 3 year a to, but Tdo not like it. It ! is time I had chosen a profession, and 1 think 1 would rather be an editor than anything else, for I like ease and comfort and plenty of money, and do not like to work. To he an editor, to sit in an elegant sanctum, with nothing to do but write when 1 felt like it. to have plenty of money and go where and when 1 please, free of cost, and lead the editor's quiet lifeofease, without care or trouble of any sort, is the height of my ambition. My friends think I ought to study law or medicine, or keep on teaching, but to be a lawyer or doctor requires too much study, and too much brains to start with, and teaching is too hard work. Under these circumstances, would you not advise me to become an editor?” We certainly would; your ideas of tho life of an editor, and of his surroundings and freedom from care and toil, are singularly accurate. An editor is the happiest being on earth. He lias little or nothing to do, and his pay is all that heart coual wish. His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and Turkey carpets, its costly rosewood furniture, its magnificent mirrors, i<s beautiful pictures, its coiu p’ete library of splendidly bound hooks, its bullet stoeke I with the finest, of wines, liquors, and cigars, which cost him hut a puff or two, its silver bell to summon an attendant whenever a julep or cooktnil is wanted, and, in short, with its e- rrything human ingenuity can de.ise lor his eo>n fort and pleasure, is a perfect little para disc, where lie sits or lounges oi l reigns a young lord, with the world of i’adiion and pleasure at his fee l . An !th i ik body can he an edi —no snide, no preparation, no brains, nothing hut a little money (o start with, a ad once started the money pours in a steady .stream, and the chief labor of your life is to spud it. As for the labor of editing a newspaper, that is cere moonshine. A more glance at the columns of a newspaper is enough to <i mvineo you that it requires no labor to edit it and less brains, (i is certainly a glorious life, that of an editor, a life of luxurious ease and of elegant leisure—a life for the gods, filled, like that of tho young lover in his sweet dream of requited love, with flutes and rose leaves and moonbeams, While not a wave of trouble rolls Across bis peaceful breast; and that all men are not. editors is one of the strangest things beneath the stars. II o Money in It. The above is what some say of fanning. Well that depends upon who the farmer is, or rather how he manages and runs his farm. Now, if a man buys a farm and pays for it money which ho li is bor rowed, lives in the city or town and pay an agent to run the farm, it certainly will not pay. Huy a small farm with your own money. Go livo on it and conduct it with judg ment and economy. Whatever you raise, grow, or make, f-e sure that it isyoui own, and nut to bo divided out to pay for fer tilizers, corn, flour, bacon, or lor what you can make or raise at home. Think o! your business. Keep your le.iccs in repair. Give your stock enough to eat at and take euro of theta. Sue that every thing about ycur farm is in good repair. Make manure in ycur lot and shelter in Rood your stock in comfortable stalls and let them be well littered. Personally supervise all that goes on. See that your tools are in order, and in their places, lie systematic in your work. Look after every industry around you—the orchard, garden, poultry yard. Look after each and every one in its season. In connec tion with all this, use your best judgment about your crops, and our word for it you will have but little to buy beyond dry goods, sugar and coffee, and the result will be to convince you that, there is money in farming. Save the Old Paper. Never throw away old paper. If y m have no wish to sell it, use il in t lie house. Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for clean ng many articl sof furniture. For instance, a volume written by a holy who nridi and herself on her experience and tact, says: “After a stove lias been blackened, it can be kept looking well for along time by rubbing it with paper every morning. Rubbing with pi per is a much nicer way of keeping the outsi le of a tea kettle, coffee pot, and tea pot bright and clean than the old way of washing them in suds. Rubbing with paper is also the best way of polishing knives, tinware, and spoons; they shine like now silver. For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, etc., paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much better if brown paper, instead of cloth, is t'ed over the jar. Cmned fruit is not so apt to mould if a piece of writing paper, cut to fit tho can, is laid directly on the fruit. Paper is much better to put under a carpet than straw. It is warmer, thinner, and makes less noise when one walks over it.” Georgia is undoubtedly the best repre sented state (in the person of John 11. Gordon) of'any State in the Union. It has been said that since tho genera! has been senator, the arduous duty of repre senting two States, Georgia and South Carolina; has devolved upon him Be that as it may, ho has ably rupre.-euted the State that east her honors upon him. Such men as Gordo., are needed in toe nation's capitol, and 'tis a pity there are not more of them. Brave, patriotic: arid who, he knows his duty and dares ro do it. The State legislature that is to elect his successor can do no handsomer thing than to let him succeed himself. No fears are entertained that ho will meet with much opposition, at the same time in our humble opinion he should have none, —Cedar town Exjirixn, (dem ) NUMBER G. Wit and Humor. Tho letter to which bachelors seem most inclined: Let ’er be. Experience may ho a dear teacher, but she isn’t any dearer than a pretty school ma’am. A New York paper has a heading, •‘Hi hop Snow on Hell.” That’s a cool tiling on a hot subject. M b e:, of Quebec, has got rid ol h:r a ■ je. . airing in i change of weather anal a fall in pork. What 'iff (fie harvest bee? Get him u; :he leg of your pantaloons, and you’ll mighty soon find out. Piofe: .r 'is the intensity of gravity greater at. the plus or at the equator?" Sophomore—‘‘Yen, sir.” Professor — “Which?” Sophomore—“lt's greater.” Did you ever watch (he n useless move ments of a pretty girl’s lips as her dress is trodden upon, and marvel at the self command which enables her to do tho situation justice in so quiet a manner? “l'ay the bill?” said a gentleman who is well known to collectors as the prince of procrastination, “i should he happy to do so; but this damp weather has caused iu.v money drawer to swell and 1 cannot get at my funds. Couio the first dry day.” “Ti n dimes make one dollar,” said the schoolmaster. “Now go on, sir. Ten dollars make one—what?” They mako one mightv glad these times,” replied tho boy; and the teacher, who hadn’t got his last inoirh’s salary y<St, csneluded the buy was about right. D Junes was a distinguished Univer . alist preacher. His particular friend, Gob Metcalf, borrowed three thousand kfilars from the doctor, and then paid him ■ff with a bankrupt notice. “Well,” said Dr. Jones, “there may not be any bell— I have long preached that there is none—hut lam now convinced that there ought to be one fur just such Itdlows as you ” What a blessing to a household is a merry, cheerful woman —one whose spirits are not affected by wet days, or little dis appointments, or whose milk of human kindness does not sour in the sunshine of prosperity. Su h a woman in the darkest hours brightens the house like a little piece of sunshiny wea'her. The mag netism * fher smiles aid electricaljliright* ness of her 1 v ks and movements infect every mo. The children go to school with a sensu of something great to bo achieved; her husband goes into the world in a conqueror s spirit. No matter how people annoy and worry him all day, far oil her presence shines, and ho whispers to himself, “At home I shall find re: t.” So day by day she literally renews his trength and energy and if you now a in in with a beaming face, a kind heart, a pi u -porous business, in nine cases out ol ton you will find he has a wife of this bind. I A r oan Covington (Ky.) grocer was n'ccly sold at Christmas. He purchased from a dollar store a table castor, which he marked with u tag inscribed “$14,” and gave it to a Methodist preacher, whose church hi- family attended. The reverend gentleman next day brought the castor hack to the groeeryunn, and said to him: “I am too poor in this world’s goods to afford to display so valuable a castor on my table, and if you have no objection 1 would like to return it, and take sl4 worth of groceries for my family in its stead.” flic merchant could do nothing but acquiesce. A gentleman once asked a deaf and dumb boy, “What is truth?” He replied by taking a piece of chalk and drawing on the blackboard a straight line between two points. Then ho asked him, “What is a lie?’ ’ The boy rubbed out the straight line and dre w a zigrug or crooked lino be tween the same two points. A dentist tried his first operation with i gas upon a robust colored woman Aftor 1 she had used up all the gas in the offiae, she wheeled in the ohair and shouted: . “Hurry up,•and bring on another bag of I that sweetened wind ” - Could anything bo neater than tho old colored man’s reply to a beautiful young lady whom he offered to lift ever tho j gutter, and who insisted that she was too heavy? “Lor’, Missus,” said he, “I’se used to lifting barrels of sugar. ” A boy whoj lined three Sunday schools, to keep Christmas with them now reports himself as highly disgusted, because all j three of the soho Is held their Christmas festivals tho same evening.
