A real Christian will be more just, sober and < liat liable than <,tli<T men. though lie will not rest for salvation on justice, sobriety, or charity, but will perforin the duties they enjoin, in the. spirit of Christianity, as in stances of devout obedience, as evi dences of a heart devoted to God. Lift ami death depend ‘on tlie law of heaven, which is immutable. Pov erty and riches are dispensed by heav en. who cannot be compelled. A wise man reverses the dispensations of Heaven, and thus enjoys inward tran quility and peace. God is the parent of men. lie is compassionate and unwearied in bless ing. He inspects kingdoms, and makes no mistakes. Clear seeing and intel ligent. he dwells with men in all their actions. He is offended with wrong doing. Have you known how to compose your manners ? You have done a deal more than he who has com posed books. Have you known how to lake repose? X on have done more than he who htts taken cities and em pires. The good man when reviled reviles not again; when smitten, he is not angry; when treated violently, he. re turns love and good will, and when threatened with death, he returns no malice. XVhat we wish to do we think we can do, but when we do not wish a thing it becomes impossible. “Truth is stranger than fiction.” and it takes some people a long time to feel at home with it. X ou never know that the country is on the verge of ruin until it becomes necessary to elect new officers. TRETH, JESTICE. LIBERTY BELLTON. BANKS COUNTY, GA.. OCTOBER 1879. TRIBE TEN TO WOMAN. [setiAL.] 11 is because women have greater hlct than men that they prove the most iiithientaal teacher-. Thev have mere self-restraint than men and are naturally mor? gracious and polite, ill* matter- of social detail, aptness imid dexterity come to them like na- ' Jure, and hence well-mannered men I i usually receive thedr best etiliune by mixing in the society of oentle and I : adroit women.—Samuel Smiles. [personal.] W e cannot conceive uoptan as -dis tinct. di-iant, mirejated; she seems so personal, concrete, so near: vet we ( can never ijtiite come up to her dis 'eernments. nor ttiinsay their delicacy i tit'Td trulhfnlness. The very name of -1 woman becomes soiled Bf we seek to | he related to her by the coarse ties of : appetite instead of th* 1 charm of ideas, i Endowed with magnetic gifts, by ne | I'rssily of sex a realist and diviner, j lives nearest the cardinal facts of ex ii-:emv. instinct with the mysteries of love and fate; a romance ever atta. h- I in.r itself to her name and destiny.- A.

Arthur I i Helps. |Mll<TllflL.| I sec how it is. Woman is now su preme in the house. She will gradu jaily control everything. Woman is ■one of the ablest, and most etmtiing I ( features who have ever mingled in I human affairs. I understand those who say they don’t want the ballot. . They want the power without the re | spoi.sjbility :so while we are being | amused with the ballot, woman is iquietly taking things into her own lit t,ds.—l). Warner. |tiiotgiitffl.] Love in woman is no trifling emo tion. On its joyous sub it seeks affin ity with every phase of nature that is gladsome and of promise. When one thoughtfully considers the part, which love has in the destiny and character of woman, the issues that come out of it for weal or misery, her ruin or per [feetion. nothing is more pathetic, and j death itself is not more solemn.—Hen ry Giles. [GELTGItTFI'L.] One df the finest compliments ever paid to woman was that of Steele, when he said Io Lady Hastings, “that to have loved her was a liberal educa- j tion.” Vi*‘wed in this light, woman i is an educator in the highest sense, because she educates humanely and lovingly. Many think themselves to be truly 1 God-fearing when they call this world j a valley of tears. But 1 believe thev would be more so, if they called it a happy valley. God is more pleased with those who think everything right in the world, than with those who think nothing right. AVith so many thousand joys, is it not black ingrati tude so call the world a place of sor row and torment ? If thou canst not obtain a kindness which thou desirest, put a good face on it—show no discontent or surli ness—an hour may come when thy request may be granted. Has it ever occurred to us when surrounded by sorrows, that they may be sent to us only for our in struction, as we darken the cages of birds when we wish them to sing? SAVINGS OF MYTTHEAV HENRY. Divine vengeance comes with feet' of lead, but. it. strikes with hands of, iron. Mm may die like lambs, and yet hit ve their place with the goats. It- is common for those who are' ’farthest from God to boast them-' ! selves most of living near the church. Events are not determined by the ' whee' of fortune, whi di is blind, but iba tie wheels of Providence, which , [are fill of eyes. I reckon him a (’hri-tian indeed that is nether ashamed of the gospel m.r I a sh:me Io it. Ttose who pray with an unforgiving ■ spn it •curse themselves every time ' ■ they say the Lord’s Prayer. | Ntfure is content with little, grace, wit bless, but bast with nothing. Gid’s presence with a matt in his hoiisi. though it. boa cottage, makes that muse both a castle and a palace. Leigth of days is wisdom’s righf handblessiiig, typi-al of eternal life; htl I is in her left hand that are I riches mid honor. Itis good to be early at our dcvvi tiom. The morning is as good a frioid to the graces as it is to the mns>s. Ale ought to know the Scriptures as the physician does his dispensn to-rv, the lawyer his books and re ports, and the sailor his charts and compass. Gid'- laws were never designed to he !ke cobwebs, which catch Ihe lit le flies, but. suffer the large ones to break ihtyugh. Venture', not into the company <if tho.ic who are infected with the piagme; no, not though thou think thyself guarded with an antidote. As when we are in prosperity we. are ready to think our mountain will never be brought low, when we are in adversity we arc ready tolhink our valley wil 1 , never be tilled up. AV e call the prophets the. penmen m t-r-riptni-e, wtierrns really they were but the pen. The tongue of the most subtile disputant, and the most elo quet ! orator, ts but the pen with : which God writes what He pleases. The woman was not mgde out of man's head to top'll n nor out. of his fee! to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved. \\ hen ( hrist was about to leave the world He made Ills will—His soul He committed to His Father; His body He bequeathed to Joseph, to be de cently interred; His clothes fell to Hie soldiers; His mother He left to the care of John: but what, should He leave to His poor disciples, that had left, all for Him? Silver and gold I Hr had none. but. lie left them that which was infinitely better— Hix pence Learn to entwine with your prayers the small cares, the trifling sorrows, the little wants of daily life. AVhat < ver affects you -be it a. changed look, an altered tone, an unkind word, a wrong, a wound, a demand you can rot meet, a change you cannot no tice, a sorrow you cannot disclose— t irn it into prayer, and send it up to God. Disclosures you :may not, make to man you can make, to the Lord, i Man may be too little for your great I Matters: God is not too great for your Ismail ones. Only give yourself to I jrayer, whatever be. the occasion that mils for it. This is what Robert (>. Ingersoll says of women: “I tell you women are more prudent than men—ten I times as faithful as men. I never I saw a man pursue his wife into the ditch and dust of degradation, and I take her in his arms. I never saw a ! man stand at the shore where she had heen morally wrecked waiting for the waves to bring even tier corpse to his arms; but I have seen woman, with her white arms, lift man from the | mire of degradation, and hold him to i her bosom as though he were an angel.” -*-• The slanderer injures three persons at once—him of whom he speaks illj; him to whom he says it, and most of all, himself in saying it. We can in no way assimilate our selves so much with the benign dis position of the Creator of all, as by contributing to the health, comfort and happiness of our fellow creatures THE FIRE THAT OLD NICK BIT LT Au imitation of the “House that' •lark built.” “Intemperance.” This is the fire i ' that Old Nick built. “Moderate Drinking.” This is the i I fuel that feeds the fire that Old Nick ■ built. “Rum Selling.'' This is the axe. that i 'cut- tlie wood that feeds the fire that i Ohl Nick built. “Love of Money.” This is the stone j i that grinds the axe that cuts the wood j s that feeds the tire that Old Nick built., j “Public Opinion.'’ This is the fsled-je with its face of steel that bat ter- the stone that grinds the axe that ! cuts the wood that feeds the tire that Old Nick built. “A Temperance Meeting.” This is one otf the blows that we quqetly deal, to fashion the sledge with its edge ofi steel that batters the stone that grinds tile axe that cuts the wood that feeds the lire that Old Nick built. “A Temperance Pledge.” This is the smith that works with a will to give torce to the blow that we quietly deal to fashion the sledge with its face of steel that batters the stone that grinds the axe. that, cuts the wood that feeds the lire that. Ohl Nick built.. “Eternal Truth.” This is the spirit so gentle and.still that nerves the smith to work with a will to give force Io the blows which we quietly deal to lashion the, sledge with its edge of steel that, batters the stone that grind the axe that cuts the wood that fei-ds the the that Old Nick built. Don’t insult a poor matt. JJis mus cles may be w:\ll developed. Don I color meersch itims for a liv ing. It is simply dying by inches. Don’t throw dust in your teachi r'- eyes. It will injure the pupil. Don’t turn up your nose at 11 lit tilings. Tliitik of bread and taxation. Don’t boast of your pedigree. Many a fool has had a wise ancestor. Don’t buy a voach to please your wife. Better make her a tittle -nlky. Don’t write long obituaries. Save some of your kind words for those living. Don’t publish your acts of charity. The Lord will keep the account straight. Don't put on airs in your new clothes. Remember your tailor is sutlering. > •« -- Some of the newspapers publish a 'useful domestic receipe’ every week. The other day, in place of the recipe, one of the papers published the fol lowing notice : “We sincerely trust that our readers will forgive us. Last week, in giving a recipe for the chil blains, we, inadvertently stated that the remedy was to be taken internal ly. It is. on the contrary, for exter ' mil use. AVe hope that Providence has restrained the bauds of our much beloved subscribers, for every one that drank of this compound is dead I by this lime. AVe present ill advance our condolence to the beveaved fami lies.” The London Times says : “If the affairs of the world were brought to a sudden close at this moment, it would be a curious matter of speculation how many people would be even with their work. One ingenious person did, we believe, attempt such an esti mate; and his conviction was that, taking into account the few cases of superhuman excellence in which peo ple would be in advance, we should, on an average, be found to be a quar ter of a year behind hand all .round, alike in work and in income.” Good actions avail nothing, if the soul be unrenewed. You may stick i ligs, or hang clusters of grapes upon ] a thorn bush, but they cannot grow upon it. Sincerity is speaking as we think, I believing as we pretend, acting as we i profess, performing as we ] romise, I and being as we appear. It was an American who said: “We use two stones to grind the flour of liberty. The lower is the school, the upper one is the, Bible.” Never be sorry for any generous thing that you ever did, even if it was betrayed. You cannot afford to keep on the safe side of being mean. Commend a fool for his wit, or a i knave for his honesty, and they will I receive you into their bosom. Cx<?org;jan, Pl B LISI IE I) EVERY THURSDAY, AT BELLTON, GA.

I ’ ; Sands form the mountain, moments make the year. | A fool always finds one still more i foolish to admire him. (rood will subdues its opposite, as witter extinguishes fire. He who has to deal with a block head has no need of much brains. Nothing in the world makes us old sooner than the fear of becoming so. Immediately relinquish any advant age that has been gained without fair means. Modesty in your discourse will five a lustre to truth, and an excuse to your error. ; AV e mount to fortune by several steps —but require only one step to come down. • Society is a masked hall where every one bide- Ids real character and reveals it by hiding. ’ Find out what men laugh at and you know exactly how iejlued and intelli gent they are. Happiness consists not in possessing much, but. in being content with what we do possess. Everybody seems to think himself i moral half bushel to measure tho .vorld’s frailties. Wlictstonesare not themselves able -o cut, but makes iron very sharp and a.pable of cutting. No books are so legible as the lives of men-; no characters so plain as uwir _ There’s many a man hns-beeirdnied out of his religion and his politics, and Ids manhood, almost. Minds of only moderate calibre ordinarily condemn everything that is beyond their range. It is better to do the least thing for (he world than to regard a single half hour as unimportant. The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things while living which are to be desired when dying. Do not wait for extraordinary cir cumstances to do good actions ; try to use ordinary situations. He who thinks too much of himself will-be in danger of being forgotten by the rest of the world. Genius is genius still shining by its own light, be it like a star in the sky I or a glow worm on the sward. God might as well have slaves as sons,.if the essence of worship con sisted in mere outward obedience. Man passes his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the pre sent, and trembling for the future. The wealth of a man is the numb* r df things which he loves and blesses,, which he is loved and blessed by. XVhen charity walks into the low -t places of want, we see the beautifi-l purity of her robes most distinctly. We could not endure solitude were it not for the powerful companlc u ship of hope or of some unseen one. Seek to converse in purity with v.-.-ty own pure mind and with God. w first and highest purity is that of he soul. As sins proceed they ever multi- Jv; like figures in arithmetic, the 1 L stands for more tlian all that w* .it before it. The activity and soundness o e q man’s actions will be determined • the activity ami soundness of l.Lt thoughts. The first step tc self-knowledge is selMistrcst. Nor can we attain to any kind of knowledge except bv a, like process. A contemplative life has more the appearance of a life of piety than any | other; but it is the Divine plan to bring faith into activity and exercise.
