64 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. ,1.
