A MAIDEN’S PSALM OF LIFE.
Ttll me*not in idle jingle
‘ Marriage is an empty dream,’’
F’or the girl is dead that s single,
And girls are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
Single blessedness a fib !
“Man thou art, to man retnrnest,”
Has been spoken of the rib.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined f*nd or way ;
But to act that each to-morrow
Finds us nearer marriage day.
Life is long and youth is fleeting,
And our hearts, though light and gay,
Still like pleasant drums, are beating
Wedding marches on the way.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle !
Bea heroine—a wife.
Trust not future, however pleasant—
Let the dead past bury its dead ;
Act—act in the living present,
Heart within and hope ahead.
Lives of married folks remind us
We can live our lives as well,
And departing leave behind us
Such examples as shall tell.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart on triumph set;
Still contriving, still pursuing.
And each one a husband get!
JtlisceUfiiicous.
ADDRESS CALLING AN AGRICUL
TURAL CONVENTION.
Plantation, Coosa River, )
June 15, 1870. j
The Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society have requested the
lion. David W. Lewis to withdraw his
resignation ot the office of Secretary of the
Society, and that. upUn his wiihdrawal of
the same, I should publish an order rein-'
stating him in said office.
llis resignation has been withdrawn, and
an order declaring him reinstated in office
has been duly published, and he is again
in the office as fully in the discharge of its
duties as if his resignation had never occur
red. (See Appeudix A.)
Thus, it is hoped, are ended the embar
rassments and the unpleasant issues grow
ing out of the measures adopted to fill the
vacancy in the office of Secretary. So far
as these measures and the questions rising
out of them have brought complaint against
myself, or induced attacks upon my official
conduct, conscious of the rectitude and dis
interestedness of my intentions throughout,
I can and do disrow^-' 1 '«rn, knowing them
to ho based upon error and a
oiuu m iimw. i have aimed..m all aSIiSS,
at the good of an organization which 1 teel
has in "a great measure, been entrusted to
my judgment and management. I claim
no exemption from public criticism for any
error, but deprecating the continuance of
strife and personalities, for one, I cast them
aside, and here, now, invoke the co-opera
tion of all who feel interested in the success
of the Soeiet.y in this important stage in its
history.
Loosing, then, to the future, with the
lights of the situation, what do we see, and
then what should we do? After an exist
ence and successful operation of a quarter
of a century, the Society, with the aids
which it has received from a public-spirited
people, has originated and carried forward
a spirit of improvement and progress in
agriculture and its kindred arts which is
everywhere visible. Iu nothing, perhaps,
is this spirit m re manifest than in the
eagerness and numbers with which the peo
ple visit annual Agricultural Fairs. Indeed,
such is the desire to render availatde all
the means and sources ot improvement
which are to be derived from Agricultural
Fairs and cattle shows that there is scarcely
an important city in the State, and scarcely
a county with its Agricultural Society, that
will not have their Fairs during the com
ing season. In this line of effort, therefore,
the example and influence of the State
Society has perhaps accomplished its work.
It may be to its interest as an organization
to continue its Annual Fairs, or at least
hold them in connection with someone ot
the important organizations in different
parts of the State upon terms of mutual
advantage. Be this as it may; let the
future decide. The important question now
presents itself, is there not other and great
er work for the State Agricultural Society
to perform, and which no other organization
can so well undertake ? Are there not some
measures of legislation which a united and
intelligent expression from those men per
sonally devoted to the cultivation of the soil
ought to demand, and never cease to de
mand until granted? Are there not great
and incalculable advantages to be derived
from a closer and more frequent intercourse
between cultivated minds representing the
agricultural interests of all sections of the
State ? Is it not plain to the most ordinary
perceptiou —is it not evident to eVcu plod
ding labor itself, that in its simplest operas
tions it is in daily contact with both the
revelations and mysteries of science, and is
not, therefore, every minu and heart ready
to enthrone Science as the"presiding genius
of labor, and to establish, by liberal appro*
priutions made by law, intimate relations
between them —relations between the lab
oratory and the farm as close and intimate
as indeed are the relations of cause and
effect ? Is not this the mission of our organ
ization ?
Deeply impreseed with the conviction
that there is something more to be done
than to have mere shows and fairs. I recom
mend. and hereby call, a Convention of the
Society, to be held in Atlanta on Tuesday,
16th August. The Secretary has, through
correspondence and personal application to
the Superintendents of railroads, obtained
the privilege of the passage over the rail
road, both ways, without charge, ot three
delegates from each county Agricultural
Society, to two semi-annual Conventions.
This privilege of a pass both ways free, iff
confined to the three delegates from each
county Society. All other members and all
additional delegates will pay one fare.
Where there are two or more Societies in a
county, they must unite in the election of
representatives, as only three can coma
from county. The county Societies are
there'? requested, at their monthly meet
ing iJuly, to elect their delegates, and
immeitely report their names to the
Secre'.y At Atlanta, who will forward to
them he Superintendents' free tickets.
Coups which have no organized Socie
ties #uld organize at once. (See form
for (istiturion of County Agr.cultural
Socie Appendix B.)
Tbfollowing are among the subjects
whicbill he submitted to the consideration
of thamvention :
1 .closer connection and mutual de
pendee between the county Societies and
the St> Society. A plan will he submit
ted \y!h it is believed will give greater
vitalitind usefulness to both.
2. careful consideration and examina

7The delegates from the several county
Soerties are requested to bring up with
thei full and detailed reports upon the
ag’jultural condition of their respective
coiities. Let these reports embrace com
pff.tive statements of the probable yield
oftie crop this year and the last; thenums
bf of acres in cotton and grain this year
aid the last; increase or decrease in the
ghnerop; n?ore or less attention to the
ppiuction of meats ; changes and improve
mbts in agricultural implements ; changes
art improvements in the modes of prepa
rdon and tillage ; changes and improve
rrtnts in contracts with and management
ollabor.
These and other tophics which members
dubtless will present to the Convention
ae well worth the consideration of assem
bed farmers and planters.
The time and place are favorable for a
g-eatstep forward in combining the strength
and the agricultural interests in favor of
inportant measures—favorable, too, for a
(onvivial reunion of representative men
Fern every locality and interest in the
State. The crops will have been laid by,
and the time for the meeting one of com
parative leisure. The work on the im
provements at the Fair Grounds has been
most rapid and successful, and promises,
by the time of the proposed meeting, to be
so near completion as to make an excursion
to the grounds gratifying and interesting.

the deliberations and social influences of
snch a gathering of practical and progres

and to preserve their organizations.
The Secretaries of county Societies, at
the same time they send up the names of
their delegates, will also send a revised and
perfect list of their members f r 1870. In
the returns they will please specify the
line, or lines of railroad over which their
delegates will travel.
As this is not a usual but an extraordß

of members and of the Convention will not
be chargeble to the city under the contract
with the city to pay the contingent expen

Dear Sir: —Your note some weeks ago
addressed to President Y\ancey, proposing
an interview upon the subject of the best
policy to be adopted to encourage the for
mation of County Agricultural Societies,
was duly received, and is a file in this
office. He is now absent at his farm in
Alabama. I have but recently visited him.
and while there, he prepared a circular for
publication which will appear shortly, and
which mainly has in vitw the object refer
red to in your letter. He requested me to
consult with you on the subject, and to
make such additions to this circular, of
suggestions bearing upon this point, as you
might offer.
1 have now, in accordance with the
President's request, to call upon y >u for
such suggestions, aid or advice, as I am
sure it will be your pleasure to offer.
Very respectfully.
Dav. W. Lewis,
To Mr. 11. I. Kimball, Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta, June 23,1870.
D. W. Lewis, Esq , Secretary :
Dear Sir : —Your favor ot the 22d inst.,
in answer to mine to Col. Yancey, in
regard to the encouragement of County
Agricultural Societies, is before me. I
have read President Yancey’s circular
letter to the County Societies with great
interest, and am very much pleased with
the suggestions it contains, I shall, at all
times, be most happy to co operate with
vou for the encouragement of this work,
and at the time of the Convention, will
arrange so as to have an excursion to the
Fair-GrotThds, which I trust will be both
interesting and profitable. Having identi
fied myself with the Agricultural interest
of the State, I am very desirous of making
the acquaintance of the representatives of
the Agricultural Societies from different
counties over the State, and will be gratified
to meet with you in the coming Convention.
I am very anxious that our County Societies
shall make a good showing at our Fair this
fall, and lor the purpose of encouraging
them to an effort, I hereby, authorize you
to offer the following additional prizes :
To the County Society having the largest
and best organized camp and equipage, a
magnificent camp chest worth (§150) one
hundred and fifty dollars. The name of
the county and society to be engraved on
silver plate —Premium sls0 —Camp Chest.
To the County Society which shall be
headed by the best Band, made up of citizens
of the county, a silver bugle or cornet, as
may be selected by its leader, foT the. use
of the Society Band—Premium, Silver
Bugle.
To the County Society that shall exhibit
the best average products of the greatest
variety of pursuit, a splendid silk and gold
banner, with the name of the society, and
a commemorative inscription thereon—
Premium, Banner.
It seems to me there is no reason why
Georgia may not become one of the great
est manufacturing States in the Union, and
while we are turning our attention largely
to agriculture, let us ever remember a !
greater diversity of pursuits will add to
«>ur wealth and promute the general wuF
fare of our penile.
To tne end that a more general interest
may be awakened regarding this import
ant subject, I hereby authorize you to offer
to the County Society that shall exhibit the
bes ayemge products of the greatest varie
ty of'pursuit, a splendid Mlh at.d gold
banner, with the name ot the Society and
a commemorative inscription thereon.
1 rusting that the foregoing {[may meet
your approval, believe me, dear sir, respect
tuly, yours, H. I. Kimball.

Eating without Appetite. —lt is wrong
to eat without appetite ; for it shows there
is no gastric juice in the stomach, and that
nature does not need food, and not needing
it, there being no fluid to receive and act
upon it, it w T ould remain there only to pu
trefy, the very thought of which should be
sufficient to deter any man from eating
without an appetite for the remainder of
his life. If a “tonic” is taken to wHet the
appetite, it is a mistaken course ; for its
only result is to cause one to eat more,
wnen already an amount has been eaten
able to prepare.
The object to be obtained is a largersup
ply of gastric juice, not a larger supply of
ibud ; and whatever fails to accomplish that
essential object, fails to have any efficiency
towards the cure of dyspeptic disease ; and
as the formation of gastric juice is directly
proportioned to the wear and waste of the
system, which is to be the means of sup
plying, and this wear and waste can only
take place as the result of exercise, the
point is reached again that the efficient
remedy for dyspepsia is work—out-door
woik—beneficial and successful in direct
proportion as it is agreeable, interesting
and profltdb’e.
Felon on ti»e Finger. —Many persons
suffer extremely from felons on the finger.
Tnese afflictions are not only very painful,
but not unfrequently occasion permanent
crippling of the member affected. The
following simple prescription is recom
mended as a cure for the distressing ail
ment: Take common rock salt, such as is
used for salting down pork or beef, dry in
an oven, then pound it fine, and mix with
spirits of turpentine in equal parts. Put it
on a rage and wrap around the part effect
ed, and as it gets dry, put on more, and in
twenty-four hours you are cured—the felon
will be dead. It will do no harm to try it.

True Heroism. —The man who walks the
street with unruffled brow and peaceful
heart, though his business is ruined, his
prospects beclouded, and his family reduced
to want, who maintains his interity amid
the perilous temptations of the hour, and
bravely, hopefully struggles against these
stern adversities, upborne by an unyielding
faith in Providence, is a hero. And in
yonder room, where that poor, pale-faced
girl, through lung weary days and dreary
nights, with aching eyes and wasting frame,
bravely battles off gaunt starvation, or
flaunting infamy, with no other weapons
than a trusting heart and a little needle—
there is one of God’s great heroines.
A farmer who wished to invest ihe accu
mulation of his industry in the United
States securities, went to Jay Cook’s office
to obtain Treasury notes; the clerk in
quired“ What denomination will you
have them io, sir?” Having never heard
that word used excepting to distinguish
religous sects, the farmer, after a little
hesitation, replied : “Well, you may give
me part in the Old School Presbyterian, to
please the old lady, but give me the heft
on’t in Free Will Baptists.”
Dickens’ quaint nom de plume of “Boa,’*
had a characteristic origin. He had a
younger brother, a simple-hearted boy,
whom it had pleased him to baptize as
“Moses,” by reason of his carious resem
blance to a oharacter in Goldsmith’s story
of the “Vioar of Wakefield.” Their little
sister, unable to shape her lips to this
name, oalled the boy “Boa,” and Dickens,
fascinated by the droll syllable, adopted it
as a mask of his first literary effort^
