4S TURNWOLD, GA., NOVEMBER 3, 1862. Candid Beggar. “ Cameravius relates the following pleas ant story : ‘As I was sitting,' said he, ‘with some senators of Bruges, before the gato of the Senate House, a certain beg gar presented himself to us, who with sighs and tears, and lamentable gestures, expres sed to us bis miserable poverty, saying withal, that ‘he had about bin, a private disorder, which shame prevented him from discovering to the eyes of man. e all, pitying the case of the poor man, gave him each of us something, and he departed. One amongst us sent his servant after him, with command to inquire of him what his private infirmity might 'be, which he was so loth to discover 1 The servant over took him* and desired of him that satisfac tion ; and having diligently viewed his face, breast, arms, &c., and finding all his limbs in good plight, ‘I see nothing,’ said he, ‘whereof you have any such reason to complain.’ ‘Alas!’ said the.beggar, ‘the disease that afflicts me is far different from what you conceive of, and is such as you cannot see; it is an evil that hath crept over my whole body ; it is passed through the very veins and marrow of me in such a manner that there is no one member of my body that is able to do any work ; this disease is, by some, called idleness and sloth.’ The servant hearing this, left him in anger, and returned to us with this ac count of him, which after we had all laugh ed at, we sent to make further inquiries about this singular beggar, but he had withdrawn himself.’ ” Knaves. “ It proceeds rather from revenge than malice, when we hear a man affirm that all the world are knaves. For before a man draws this conclusion of the world, the world has usually anticipated him, and concluded all this of him who makes the observation. Such men may be compared to Brothers the prophet, who, on being ask ed how he came to be clapped up into Bed lam, replied, ‘I and the world happened to have a slight difference of opinion. The world said I was mad, and I said the world w r as mad : I was outvoted., and here I am.’ ” Casuistry of Villains. “Villains are usually the warst casuists, and rush into greater crimes to avoid Jess-. Henry VIII. committed murder to avoid the imputation of adultery; and in our times, those who commit the latter crime, attempt to wash off the stain of seducing the wife, by signifying their readiness to shoot the husband !" THE COUNTRYMAN “ The most, ridiculous of all animals is a proud priest : he cannot use his own tools without cutting his own fingers.” ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Countryman is a Little "Paper published on the editor’s plantation, 9 miles from Eaton- ton, at $1 per annum, in advance.—1 do not profess to publish a news paper, for, under the circumstan ces, that is impossible. My aim is to model my journal after Addison’s Little Paper, The Spectator, Steele’s Little Paper, The Tatler, Johnson’s Little Papers, The Rambler and The Adventurer, and Gold smith’s Little Paper, The Bee: neither of which,! believe, was as large as The Countryman. It is my aim to fill my Little Paper with Wit, Humor, Anec dote, Essays, Poems, Sketches, Agricultural Ar ticles, and Short Tales. 1 do not intend to publish any thing That is dull, didactic, or prosy. 1 wish to make a neatly-printed, select Little Paper—a pleasant companion for the leisure hour, and to re lieve the minds of our people somewhat from the engrossing topic of war news.
