TURN WOLD, GA., NOVEMBER 17, 1862.
The Show.
(foe the children.)
James and George had been good boys
at school, all the week. They had been
kind and good to their playmates, and their
father said they might go with him to the
show.
They saw there a great many wild beasts
in cages, and some with a chain round one
leg, made fast to a post.
There were lions, and tigers, and ele
phants. The boys walked round slowly,
looking at everything. They felt a little
afraid of some of the beasts, but were
much pleased with what they saw,
The showman went in the cage with the
lion, and James and George said they were
afraid. But a man who sat near them, told
them there was no danger. The showman
struck the lion with a switch, which made'
the lion growl very loud, and look cross :
but he did not hurt the man.
James said, I wish the man would come
out. I do not love to see him in the cage.
That lion might cat him up, and then I
would feel sorry. James was a good boy,
and did not like to see any body hurt.
After James and George had seen the
show, their kind father took them to the
book-store, and bought each of them a new
book.
Philip and the Athenian Orators.
“Philip of Macedon was wont to say,
‘that he was much beholden to the Athe
nian orat ors, since by the slanderous and
opprobrious manner in which they spoke
of him (e. g., that lie was a barbarian, an
usurper, a cheat ; perfidious, perjured, de»
praved ; a companion of rascals and mounte
banks, &c.) they were the means of ma
king him a better man, both in word and
deed. • For,’ added he, ‘I every day do
my best endeavor, as well as my sayings
and doings, to prove them liars/
It would have b?en well had Philip al
ways acted up to this encomium on him
self. After the battle of Cheroncea, he in
dulged his joy for the victory by getting
drunk, dancing all night, and going from
rank to rank, calling Ins prisoners names.
Demades, one of them, with the same de
cent freedom, told Philip that lie acted the
pai, of Thersites, rather than that of Aga
memnon. Philip was delighted with the
smartness of the repartee, and for the sake
of this bon mot, dismissed the prisoners
without ransom.”
“How can we expect that another should
keep our secret, when it is more than we
can do ourselves ?”
THE COUNTRYMAN
Heroic Endurance.
“When Alexander the Great was, on one
occasion, sacrificing to the gods, one of the
noble youths who waited upon him, was so
severely burnt by apiece of coal which fell
upon his arm from the censor he carried,
that the smell of the scorched flesh affec
ted all who stood by. Yet the hoy shrunk
not. He exhibited no symptom of pain,
but kept his arm immovable, lest by sha
king the censor, lie should interrupt the
sacrifice, or by his groaning should give Al
exander apy disturbance.”
ADVERTISEMENTS.
Legal advertisements at the usual rates, and
all others at 10c per line, for each insertion, cash
in advance. Obituaries and marriages, short or long,
are advertisements. tf
Prospectus.
The Countryman is a Little Paper published
on the editor's plantation, 9 miles from Eaton-
ton, at $1 per annum, in advance.—I 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, I
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. I 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.
This journal will bedivided into quarterly volumes,
each of which will make a book, when reprinted,
containing- 400 ocia.o pages of the most interesting
matter found in thg English language.—No back
numbers can b« supplied now, but the volumes will
be reprinted and bound hereafter.
