Ina large cit\. a laboring mat! leav ing a saloon, saw a costlv carriage 'and a pair of fine horses standing in | I front, occupied by two ladies elegant- < ly attired, conversing with the pro l prictor. As it rolled away he said Io ’the dealer,‘whose turnout is that?’ ’lt’s mine.’ replied the dealer com placently. -It cost s'nOOO—my wife and daughter cannot do without it.’ The mechanic bowed his head for a I moment in <leep t bongltl, and looked j sad; then with the energy of a man! suddenly armi-cd by a startling flash, i -aid -1 sec it ' I see j; !’ -See what ?’ i isked the dealer.

J helped pay j !'m- that ei’ri-iagc. for those horses and i’hat g‘]d-m<amted harness, for the J silk and lace and jewelry for your ’ mil.' • The money I earned that i should have given my wife and chil-j idrcna home of their own and good' clothing. I have spent at your bar. I My wages and the wages of others j like me have supported you and your ; family in luxury. Hereafter my wife and children shall have the benefit of j my wages, and by the help of (rod I ' will ncycr spend another dime for whisky. J see the mistake and a cure for it. ► —— XX hat constitutes loveliness? Not the polished brow, the gaudy dress I nor the .- how and parade of fashion-I able life. A woman may have alii toe outward tmnl'.s of beauty, and yet 1 no! posse s a lovely i haracter. 11 is the benevolent disposition, the kind 1 ■ acts and the < hris'ian deportment. It ' is the heart, where meekness, truth ' : and humility are found where we , look for loveliness. The woman who lean soothe the aching heart, smooth ' the wrinkled brow, alleviate the an guish of the mind, and pour the balm ! of consolation in the wopnded breast, , possesses in an eminent degree true I loveliness of character. XX’hat is fashion? Dinners at mid- I night and headaches in the morning. I I XX’hat is wit.? That peculiar kind of; \ talk that leads to pulling noses and broken heads. XVhat is joy? To count your money and find it is a hundred > dollars more than you expect. XX’hat is knowledge ? To be away from ' home when people come to borrow ’ • books and umbrellas. XX’hat is con tentment? To sit in the house and j see others stuck in the mud. > Alan can never come up to his ideal standard. It is the nature of the im mortal spirit to raise that standard higher and higher as it goes from strength to strength, still upward and onward. Therefore, the wisest and I greatest arc the most modest. TI! T TIT.* JU S TICK, LIB KR T I* BELLTON, BANKS COUNTY, GA.; NOVEMBER 20, is/'.). THE VOICE OF THIE. 1 tn Time,theconiptcn rof strength.

Behold, in one moment, the greatest sinner e ; m return to God. A few moments, and one wild cry from i the cross, on the part of the penitent | thief, brought, him from sin to sweet forgiveness ami happiness for all eter nity. Go to XX’otiK.— Boys and girls, never be ashamed of labor. XX’lu tlmr i in the lield or in lhe kitchen, or in the oilice, or in the counting room, or al | the bellows, never feel ashamed, or i as raid to be seen in the garb of labor. X'ou are aware that the greatest | men and women of our day and coun i try are eonslant workers. And on.' i foref.il.hers, who founded this great i republic, were earnest, and strenuous ' laborers. The sooner you are com-; I polled to rely upon your own resources I I lhe better for you. Therefore nian i fully go to work early in life, and then ! ■ you will be bet ter able to meet and i overcome Hie trials and difficulties I always attending labor. And, young ladies, you miss it fearfully when you I feel : Inline al. being exposed to gaze in the garb of labor. Never blush, my young friends, i when you are found in your homes ' j wearing the toiling garb. If you should ■ happen to be caught al the wadi tub i or til the churn, or even upon your | knees at the scrubbing brush, si hoo! ! yourself to feel proud of it, and thank ; God, rather that He has given you I health and strength lo a< complish the ; work set before you. Sensible young I men—-nun of real moral worth and' ■ keen judgment of what is good—what- ! ’ ever their out ward i- igns of admiral ion , in society, will be sure, when seeking a ln lpim i I. to select those that can be useful and helpful as well as orna mental. Some one gives the following table ot the order in which men give up their luxuries under the pressure of hard times: Books go first—-the book trade Hattens under a janic; illustra ted papers next, and then daily pa pers. If the pressure continues, the. trade in pianos and fine furniture falls off: but the laboring classes begin to . ( contract on the furniture from the -curt. Next it begins to cut off line •. ! clotlis and jewelry, and then its get-i ting pretty tight. Put on another j screw and tea and coffee suffer; then a.l the nicest kind of produce. If the i screw still tightens when the worst 1 comes to worst, and there is no help i' from God or man, the whiskey and!' tobacco begins to cut off. But the 1 dog s about dead when it comes to ' that. • ——♦-« An exchange says: “If the editor i of a country newspaper could get all t promises discounted a‘t bank rates, he t would be on intimate terms witli the i Rothschild family inside of two days, i THE STORMS OI LIFE. Dark, angry clouds overspread the ' sky, illumined at intervals by vivid Hashes c»i lightning; peals of tfitmder relit, the air like the X'oiees of angry rods, while the trees and (lowers fell before the heavy gusts of wind and r iiii like grain before a sickle. The awlul grandeur of the scene struck terror to heart. - ; heretofore un known to b ar. For more than an ; hour the storm raged on till it had; spent its fury, when the wind and rain ' abated, and here and there tiny rifts appeared in the clouds,growing larger i.i.d still larg< r. HU the sun broke in glorious eihilgence, brightening lhe ; lee of balure with da::zlii;g I rilliancy. ’ M \ riads of dinnmuds iitmg in Hie trees ' and glistened on the grass and flowers. Never was sunshine mere beaut.ilXil. The. terridc storm, so fearful in its , wrath, had purified mid washed the whole earth mid decked in the beauti lul jewels which a shower alone call give, and thougli in the east a rain aas falling, it only enhanced the h auty of the scene; for the cloud was spanned by a. beautiful bow— beautitul, not only on account of its lovely combination of colors, but as a. I sign of a glorious promise made b\ him who ruleth the storm by his in liidtc power. . Human life has its storms. Adver sity, temptation and sorrow sweep over'.lie, soul, tilling it with fear and dread. But. after a time, tiny rifts of God’s mercy pierce the clouds around us, and if we in patience wait, the. en tire sunshine of his hive, will break in beauty over our heads, and spanning the clouds that are drifting away from us, we shall see the rainbows of precious pi omise. ■- ♦ -* - XVho is Madam Rumor? No one knows; yet she is spoken of by all as being everywhere. She spreads the neu.-At'.nr.’ rapidly than a dozen news papers, and finds her way in every public place, street comer and pri vate dwelling throughout the universe. Who is the madam who traverses the globe, ridi s on the wings of the winds, searches out every nook and corner, spreading the. news in every direction ami deceiving all that she enn.a.-j well as stirring up strife and quarrels with I Lose who otherwise would have re mained in :t quiet mql happy slate, i W c answer ■ She is not a solitary hu j man being, nor is she a collection of : human beings; but upon the other' i hand, she is a certain class (and a. very large class, loo,) of people who are so depraved, so weak-minded and ignorant, as not to have Hie intelli gence to till up their spare, time in sensible and beneficial conversation, but are compelled, by their depravity of inteliigible intellect, to till up their -pare time, with weak, unsupported, non-ensical and untruthful conversa.- I i ion. which serves to fortify their own I ' lang, to misrepresent those to and I with i. horn they talk. ► ♦ < An exchange has the following as . hi - , e'.'celli'nt system of gardening for I young bidies: “Make up your beds I earl,y in the morning, sew buttons on ; your husband’s shirts, do not rake up ! i any grievances, protect the young i Sand lender brunches of your family, plant a smile of good temper in your face, carefully root out all angry ami uiqilea-awt feelings, ami reap a good crop of happiness.

XVhen one has been long and far away from an earthly home, what a happy sight to see brothers and sisters all crowding to the door to bring us in. XX hat is that but a dim image of what will be seen at the gates of glory. An honest reputation is within the i reach of all men; they obtain it by social virtues and by doing their dtitv. Ulis kind of reputation, it is true, is neither brilliant nor startling, but it is often lhe most useful for happiness. Is it not beaatiful that while God gives us grace to grow ami to become strong in Christ, He yet allows us to abide in ail the sweet weakness of infancy, resting always upon Him, and asking for support and wisdom ? —r"" -1 • '--■-'I _ -• MISTAKEN IDENTITY’. The other day an omnibus full of passengers drove up town from the I’nion depot. Side by side sat a com- ' mi rei'd traveler named XX’illiam Me- Cabv ami Mrs. XX'iintie C. Dumbleton. I the eminent, ladv temperance lecturer ~ XX’hcn tin-omnibus reached the Bar-! ret Ho’ise Hie commercial misionnry I seized his valise and started out. The ■ 1 lady made a grab after him and he ; baited. “I beg yom - pardon,” she said, “but ! ; you have my valise.” “You are certainly mistaken, mad-; am. Hi traveler saul, courteously I ; but firmly, “this is mine.’’ "No. sir.’’the lady replied lirmlv;4 "it is mine. I would know it among I a. thousand. X’ou must not lake it." Bui lhe traveler persisted ami the , lady insisted, and thej came very near quarreling. Presently one of the pas- y engers pointi d H> a t win valise in the I omnibus and asked : “XX’hose is that ?” "It isn’t mine," said Hie traveler; ' “it is just like, if, Inn this is mine.” “And. it i.-n't mine.” said lhe. lady; “ho lias mine, ami I want it or I’ll! ! have the law on him. It’s a pity if a lady can I travel alone in this country without being robbed of her property in broad daylight.” Finally, the trav eler said he would open the valise to . prove his property. The lady object ed at first, saying she did not want her valise opened in the presence of a crowd of strangers. But as there wim no other means of settling the dispute she at length consented. The travel er sprung the lock, opened the valise, ami the curious crowd bent forward to see. (Ju (lie very top of everything la' a big Hat tlilsk, half full of whisky. :l deck of cards and one or (wo thing- Hint nobody knows the name of. 1 he traveler was the lirst to recover his self-possession and speech. “Madam,” he said, “you are right. ’! he valise is yours. I owe you a thou sand apolo—” But the lady had fainted, and the traveler rclocked his v disc with a I quiet smile. Early in Hie afternoon! a sign painter down town received a 1 note in a feminine band, asking him to come to the Barret House to mark a red leather valise in black letters a foot ami a halt long. < A California newspaper chronicles Hie (act that a d.t ml ting count y treas urer trout that State has‘turned up’ in one. of the Fiji I -lands, where he. has a plantation ami a Hock of native wives. An exchange says: “An Albany man who used to live on ten cents a day, died wealthy.” He may have died wealthy, but. we will bet money he didn’t die fat. A little boy was asked Hie. otber day if he knew where, the wicked linally went to. He answered : “They practice law here a spell, ami then go to the legislature.” A Kentucky exchange says, “with 1 lhe. beginning of Hie year we will re duce our business to a cash basis. i Cord wood and potatoes taken for subscriptio.is.” People who think it fnn to publish a paper, if placed at the wheel, would find that ftm had just, left to take a 1 vacation. It Was an Ohio man. who discovered ' that no newspaper proprietor ever : died from swallowing a, twenty dollar gold-piece If anything will impress the human mind with awe, it is the expression of the man’s face who has just been aroused from snoring in church. ‘I wish. Sally.’ said Jonathan, ‘that j you were locked in my arms, and thcT key was lost.” Getting into debt is like a mouse in a trap; it is very easy to get in but hard to get out. The man who gets home very late at night, is frequently overjawed on meeting his wife. A man never knows how many friends he has until he begins to keep a demijohn in his office.

The finest roads do not go far. Raillery is Lite lightning of calumny. Ceremony is (he smoke of friendship .Sin is that which separates God and us. Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error. All is lost When the people fear death less than poverty. In proportion as a man loves his wife he becomes celestial. Eyes raised towards heaven are al ways beautitul, whatever they tnaj‘ be. I'rue delicacy is more often wounded by an otfense from itself than to itself. Passionate persons are like men who stand upon their heads; they see all things the wrong wav. XX’ar—the trade of barbarism, and the art of bringing the greatest phy sical force to bear on a single, point The lirst ingredient in conversation is truth; the next is good sense; Lhe third, good humor; and the fourth, wit. XX’e find ourselves less witty in remembering what we. have said than in dreaming of what we would have said. The .voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it, but it is also so clear that, it is impossible to mis take it.. Great wants proceed from great wealth; but they are undutiful chil dren, for they sink wealth down to poverty. The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes. A teacher who is attempting to teach without Inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn, is hammering on cold iron. Liars act like salt miners; they undermine the truth, but leave just so much standing as is necessary to support, the ediliee. Death is but a kind and welcome servant who unlocks with noiseless hand life’s Hower encircled door to show ns those we love. Heaven sends us ten thousand truths, but. because our windows and doors are shut to them, t hey sit and sing awhile on the roof, and then tly away. If a beautiful young woman lets her heart sit upon her lips, the lirst enterprising young man she meets may kiss the sweet prize away. 1 o pin our faitli on another man’s sleeve, ami submit to be led by au thority, deprives us of independence, and subjects us to just contempt. Bacon says; “Any one who proper ly considers lhe subject, will find nat ural philosophy to be the best remedy against superstition, and the most ap proved support of faitli.” Follow the laws of nature and you will never be poor—your wants will be lew. hollow the laws of the world and you will never be rich—your I wauls will never be satisfied. Bad luck is simply a man with his bauds in his pockets, and liis pipe in liis mouth, looking on to see how it is comingout. Good luck is a man of pluck, with his sleeves rolled up, and working to make it come out right. It is the great privilege of poverty to be happy unenvied, to be healthy without physic, secure without a guard and to obtain from the bounty of na ture what the great .and wealthy are compelled to procure by the help of art. If you love others, they will love you. It you speak kindly to them, they will speak kindly to you. Love is repaid with love, and hatred with hatred. XVould you hear sweet and pleasant echoes, speak .sweetly and pleasantly yourself. The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who has so lit tle knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing .anything but bis own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply tiie griefs which lie proposes to remove
