“I'LL TRY.”
You will® well, that’s a good rosolvo,
Now keep it, little man;
In everything you undertake.
Just do the best you can.
One never knows what he can do
Until he sets to work;
If you should t ry and sometimes fail,
’Tis better than to shirk.
All honor to the earnest boy
Who tries to do his belt;
A heart of principle may boat
Beneath a time-worn vest;
Not always does the outward man
Reveal the hidden worth,
That goes to make up character
And form the brave of earth.
The world has need of heroes.
Who will struggle foi the truth.
And you, tuy boy, may find a place,
There's room for age and youth;
Yes, always room for those who try
To speed the glorious day,
When evil, overcome by good.
Shall yield to right the sway.
“I’ll try," has conquered many a time.
And conquer yet it will;
Though hard the task and slow the work,
The brave will struggle still.
For Goc, whose word is ever sure,
Directs the powers of right,
And those who look to Him for aid
Shall conquer through his might.

INSURRECTION IN HAY IT.
Toward the dose of tho eighteenth
century Hayti had become tho home of
many families of the French nobility, who
sought freedom from the political dangers
and civil strife which menaced them in
their own country, and which a little
later made the dark days of the revolution
of IT‘JB. They sought safety fur them
selves and families. To this beautiful
spot they transferred the wealth of
paintings, statuary, plate, and all that
adorns home. They possessed the highest
refinement and cultivation of the time,
and were doing all that this, coupled with
wealth, could do to make an earthly
paradise of the island. And as if to try
how happy her children may ho under the
most favorable circumstances, Nature had
lavished with a prodigal hand upon that
favored spot lmr most beautiful and
choicest gifts. Every beauty and grace of
tropical vegetation is here at its best;
! constant sea breezes temper the heat of
j a too ardent sun, and mountain, river,
I sky, sea, combine to make the landscape
I in picturesque loveliness vie with any ol
the abodes of man.
Among the first of these families was
that of Count DeVer. Year-ago, at the
time the following ad romance was wri ten
his chateau was still standing, blackened
by fire, dismantled and des date in tho
midst of a young growth of forest trees.
I translate the story substantial y as it
came into my hands, making only such
changes as seem necessary to make it
intelligible:
It was during the few months that
precede I the outbreak of the slaves that
I first met Joan DoVer. At that time
no serious difficulty was apprehended.
Occasionally rumors were heard that
should have put the whites on their
guard; but such was the contempt the
blacks were held in, and so deep was their
deception, that the insurrection finally
burst upon us as unexpectedly as if it had
given no warning.
Jear, and 1 were thrown together often
and our friendship soon became love. I
was almost a boy, and my youth ill
deserved the high commann I field in the
little ai my stationed here, and which 1
owed to an act of mad daring, or
rashness, as you will; however, it procured
me the favor of the proud old Count, and
within three months of our meeting I was
her declared and acccp'ed suitor. There
was so little society, and so few to note
our goi g and coming, that we saw more
of one anoth r than is usual. We spent
whole days in the mountains and by the
sea, which broke on the shore not half' a
mile from the chateau.
I think the child was fearless, Twice
we were overtaken in our long walks by as
terrible storms a- I have ever -een. Once
we were exposed on a bare ledge o l ' rocks
to a wind so violent that we kept our
feet only w tli the greatest difficulty by
clinging to each other and availing
ourselves of such protection and support
as the rocks offered. The lightning
seemed to play ut our very feet—to pause
there in sinuous, glittering flashes of light.
Any other woman I have seen would
have cowered; mer, might well have
trembled; she never changed color.
About an eighth of a mile from the
shore a ledge of rocks rose out of the sea,
and with occasional wide gaps, stretched
along the coast for tialf' a league. Just
opposite her father’s place in this ledge
was a cunningly concealed cave, barely
accessible, and when found only four
harsh walls of rock; but, such as it was,
it was a possession we shared in secret
and alone—doubly sweet to lovers for
SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, !878.
that, and discovered by us on one occa
sion when we had crossed lie intervening
water in her own tiny shell of a boat,
which I had taught her how to manage.
Well, the happy days passed so until
the insurrection fla nod up—flamed up not
to be quenched until all the beautiful
homes of the island were waste places
ami every white man had wakened from
his dream ot security to defend his burn
ing home, and, perhaps, perish amid the
ashes of his household gods, or to fly, if
'there was vet time.
(Jo ilnt DeVer’s chateau was in the
heart of the insurrection try district. At
the time I was at my post, but with a
handful of regular troops (cavalry). 1
immediately pushed forward to his assis
tance, half crazed with the dread that 1
would be too late to either save or re
venge.
I was too late. Weary from hard
marching and worn for want of sleep,
when my command gained the mountain
road wt.ich led down to the chateau great
volumes of black smoke told that the full
blow had fallen. With a cry of despair 1
stuck spurs to my horse and dashed down
the highway. Occasionally we cnuvht
glimpses cf the sea and the long stretch
ol sand between that and tke foot of the
mountain, out of whose side the road we
were on had been out out. Just before
we reached the chateau I saw a single
figure flying toward the sea, and then a
body of pursuers. My field glass fold me
what my heart had already too well
divined. It was Jean and the whole body
ol black fiends at her back
Fly, poor dove; fly to your cave iti the
toeks! Trust the waves of the sea, deal
child, and the four harsh walls of rock
for they are fiends who follow you now,
w .osc cleanest thought will pollute such
as youl
We swept on past the chateau, filling
the air with craxy yells in hopes to reach
the ears of the blacks and frighten them
from the pursuit. But the distance was
too great —on down the side of the moun
tain and out upon tho sands, a full milo
below ihe point towards which fear
directed her flight and where her little
boat was moored.
I’he attack had been made at break of
day and a part of the building was already
in the possession of the blacks when her
lather and the few domestics who were
iailhful rallied to repel their ruthless
assailants* One by one the little band of
defenders had fallen. She would have
died by the side of him who gave her
being, hut it was not death she fled from.
After her father 1 1 ad fallen, she had fled
by an unfp quented way through the gar
den to the confines of the wood from
which a litt.e path led down to the beach,
when she was seen by the leader, a.,d
summoning his followers with a yell, they
left the dead for the living prey. Active
and strong beyond her sex, she had sped
over the rocks and down the rough paths
with such speed that her pursui rs bin
acred by the masses of stone that filled
the way, lost rather th in gained upon her,
and she wools haze escaped to her boat
and our cave in safety, hut that it was
orda-ned that neither her gray sire’s
desperate courage nor youth, nor inrio
cer.ce should save her. The slaves had
made their landing at the little cove
where her shell floated, and their boat was
still there, and launched almost, as soon as
her own Neither pursuers nor pursued
saw my command, as re spurred up the
sand toward their place of embarkation.
Both wete too intent upon their purpose,
and we were not, in the natural line of
their vision, hut were advancing from the
si :e, and in the excitement of the moment
might well escape notice. 1 said Jean
was tearless in that moment of supreme
danger, I could see that she lost not one
stroke of the oar. The waves now ran
high, but if it had been still, and her
lover beside her, she could not have done
more. Nearer, and nearer, we dash. We
can see the brutes tug at their oars, and
they gained; the waves were less kind
than the rooks! They were upon her!
Jean stood upright in her boat. Great
Godl will she not see us?
For one instant she paused, her sweet
young face lifted to heaven and her hands
outheld. and then she threw her.seif into
the sea. I know not if it was right. God
who knew the despair of her young heart
—He will he judge—and will Ho not
answer the mute appeal of her upturned
face?
Even as the waves closed above her,
the pursuers saw us, anil turned in order
to make their landing before we came up;
it was but a few rods and we met on the
water's edge. They were twice our num
ber, but after the firet few moments —the
first resistance —they cowered before our
blows as wolves do that are penned.
We were no longer men. I think, to
work the vengeance of God, our hearts
were made like stone. We listened to no
prayers for netey. How should we?
Even while they resisted, the sea laid all
that was left of the gentle creature, whose
file it had quench'd, at our feet, and then
we tore them and trampled them as tigers
rend their prey. Then 1 lay down on the
wet sand by the form which represented
all there was in life for me, and 1 knew
no more till in my own home across the
sea. After many months tuy reason re
turned. and 1 took up again the burden
of iife 1 would have so gladly parted with
iu the sands by the sea.
A rDZZLEU BOY.
The young son of a widow living on
Park street entered tho house the other
day with excited step, and called to his
mother:
‘■You’d better get this house all slicked
up, for there’s a strange man going to call
as soon as he gets through talking with
the grocer on the corner!”
“Man with the gas bill, 1 suppose,”
was her indifferent rcply.
“Not by a jug full!” continued iho hoy.
“He’s all dressed in broadcloth, has a big
gold watch, looks as if he owned a bank,
and he was asking uie about you.”
“Is that possible? I wonder who it can
be? What did he ask?”
“He asked if you were as handsome as
ever, and if you had grown old very fast,
and if you had married again!”
“lie did? Gracious! but who can it
bo?”
“1 don’t know, only he is good-looking
and rich, and —and—!”
“And what did you tell him?”
“1 told him you wouldn’t marry the
best man in the world, audit wouldn't do
him any good to come spooking”- -
“I'll give you an awful licking if you
don’t split the rest of that wood!” inter
rupted the mother with sudden energy,
and he was run into 1 1, e hack yard and
given a cuff on the ear as he left the door.
He leaned on the axe helve and surveyed
the windows in wondermet t, arid by-au 1-
bye lie mused:
“She is alius saying she’s going to live
for her dear children alone, hut if this
looks like it then f dont’t know the
family! I’ll toll the next man that the
whole six of us are on the marry for

before tho engine collided with a cow,
throwing it over a fence into a corn-field,
and the negro alter the cow. Next day,

You might nearly as well forget your
churches, your academies and school
houses, as to forget your local paper. It
speaks to ten times the audience thulyour
local minister does. It is read eagerly
each day and week from beginning to end.
It reaches you all, and, as it has a lower
spirit and less wisdom than a sermon, it
has a thousand times better chance at you.
Lying as it does, on every table in almost
eveiy house, you owe to yourselves to
liberally add to its support, and exact, from
it as heightened a character as you do from
an educator in your midst. It is in no
sen-e beneath notice and care—unless you
yourself are beneath notice and care —
for it is your representative. Indeed, in its
character, it is the sublimation of the im
portance, interest and welfare of all. It is
the aggregate of your own consequence,
and you cannot ignore it without miserably
depreciating yourself.— Cincinnati Stax.
A witness named Gun was told by a
lawyer who had been questioning him on
a case: “Gun, you may now go off;” and
the Court added: “Gun you are dis
charged.”
SOM K ABSURDITIES.
On tho corner stone of “Fiat Mrney"
rests the Greenback party. The foundation
principel underlying the varied theories
put afloat by Greenback orators in various
places, is the theory that the Government
may declare of a piece of paper, a piece
of leather, or a hit of cornstalk, (The
Niaterial is absolutely immaterial.) "This
is One Dollar,” and that the article thus
vouched for will ho a dollar, without any
farther ceremony, and that as a dollar it
will pass current, and “pay debts.” At
first glance it would seem that the utter
absurdity of the proposition renders any
attempt to contradict it unnecessary, and
yet, by specious reasoning, very many
have been led to adopt this most out
rageous of financial heresies.
The vulner hie points in tho Greenback
theory are so many that one is embarrassed
in choosing one point cf attack to the
neglect of hundreds of others. Value
rests on labor represented in the valuable
or in its rarity. Gold and silver have
intrinsic value of their own, because both
of rarity, and of the labor of miners they
represent. This value is recognized among
all classes of people having any approach
to civilization. So of diamonds, and
other precious stones. A circulating
medium having for its basis the value of
gold, silver, geuis, or even wheat, or corn,
will he accepted in accordance with the
general faith in the ability of tho maker
of the medium, or money, to redeem it in
gold, or other standard valuable. All
circulating mediums must, either represent
labor, or value in themselves, or must
borrow virtue from labor, or value which
they promise and represent. Our green
lucks during the war were valuable in
accordance with the popular faith at home
and abroad, in our government to make
good the promise on the greenbacks. The
Confederate paper money was valued by
t he same lest.
The Greotibackcrs see so far as to admit
that the greenback derived its value from
faith in tli gi vermi ent, hut fail to sec
that that faith recognized, not the paper
dollar, Imt the prtmi.se on too paper dollar'
The, Gr otihuokcrs remomfer still the
unnatural prosperity of the and i.ys of infla
tion, when the whole people, living
beyond its means, on ptoma. es to pay,
and tl cy remember 'he re action which
came upon the whole people, as it does on
in liyiduals who lire beyond their meari3.
The G eenbackers propose to bring back
the days of prosperity by tho issue of great
sums of paper money. They propose to
escape tho day of settlement which
ordinarily comes after inflation by making
no promises of settlement. Their money
shi.ll only declare. “These are Dollars.”
They will be accepted merely on the faith
of the people in the truthfulness of the
government. This money will not
represent, any labor, for it will promise no
labor. It will represent neither gold,
-ilvcr, wheat, or meat. It promises none
of these. It, will simply declare, “We
are Dollars,” and leave tho people to
settle the question between the evidence
of their own senses, and their faith in the
truthfulness of Ben. Butler and the rest,
who will control the government when the
fiat money shall he issued.
The power of the government might
give to this fiat money a temporary
circulation, with the most disastrous re
sults. This money because of total lack
of faith iu it abroad, and very limited
faith at borne, would rapidly lose pur
chasing power. The laboring man who
found himself paid at night wtth a bit of
paper stamped, “This is three dollars,”
would he obliged in the morning to pay a
piece ol paper stamped, “This B fen
dollars,” for enough beef steak for
breakfutt. Neither let laboring men
flatter themselves that money would be
easier of attainment under any sueh new
financial policy. No matter how fast the
presses of the government turned out tho
paper dollars, the laboring man would
pocket them only after a hard day’s work,
aud then only to find them worthless in
his pocket. Tho requirements of foreign
trade would gradually eat up the gold and
silver m the country; capitalists would he
unable te do business and take as a return
a corislati Jy depreciating currency; manu
facturing would cease, and tiie laboring
man be left without, demand for his labor
no matter for how few piper dollars he
was willing to labor. The fiat money
means ruin to ca. lab and that speedily,
but it means starvation to the labor, and
that no less speedily.
Anothor absurdity of this Greenback
party, is its creation of arbitrary division
of interest between capital and labor, and
its efibre to utray the farmer with the
laborer. Capital and label must and will
flourish tr fail together. Take any com
in uni r.. : b re <■ pita! cannot be prnfi

invested, and you have a community
where labor can find no employment.
The laboring man who insists on such
wages as leave capital no profit, destroys
the goose which lays the golden rgu, and
shortly finds himself without employment.
The capitalist who makes undue profit
from labor, invites competition from some
other capitalist who will he content with
less profit. It labor is in excess of de
mand the capitalist will buy it cheaply, to
his own advantage, but this i.s a question
of supply and demand, which ;an he no
more affected by legislation than the de
mand for butter. The remedy is only to
be found in laborers, who can, leaving the
overstocked labor market, and firuing
some other market where they may get
higher pay for service rendered. All the
sophistries in the world cannot affect this.
It is as much a matter of natural law, as
the t Ding an 1 falling of the tide. Where
capital fails to find profit, labor will fail to
find bread, and while capital may in a
locality, and for a season find advantage
in an overstocked labor market, the rule
still Ms, and holds without an excep
tion taking the oountry as a whole, that
a’ o. a capital will flourish or fail
tm ether.
1 1 w. ■ true, as the labor win;; of the
' 1 party insists, tit t there is
! .nterests between capital and
b* l '-!. D the interests of the ftiraer
i :! all with the laborer. The
h-b 1 ' niur.ds hitrh pay of the
"tes. The farmer demands
•’t'd *h" i Is shall be managed at the
least | prose, to the end that he
may chi-apiy get his produce to market.
The laboring man advocates the eight
hour system file farmer works from
dawn until Ini., and expects his employes
to do the sate . '1 lie laboring man wants
bis flour and meat at the lowest possible
prices. The farmer needs the highest
possible prices for bis wheatand liiscattl ■.
The laboring man wants three dollars a
day. The farmer wants work at S2O a
month- In short, to think ofany lasting,
political union between farmens as a dis
tinct class, and laborers as e distinct class,
is as absurd us to expect union between
oil and water, or to expect any ether im
possibility.— Ex.
