\ WOMAN'S TRUE LOVE.
Woman's low i- like a rose,
11 is bright ami lair:
V. hen -in is constant ami knows
\\ till loved ones she will share.
XVoman’s love is like a dream,
11 doth not plainly show
I niil life's cold sin am
The Ibmitains overflow.
Woman's love doth not pease,
I f evi r it was troe ;
Though oft times shocked to see
Those that constantly prove untrue.
W nil ill's love is virtue, to be sure,
If she the path will take
To the beautiful lasting ,-diore
And does not her friends forsake.
Woman's love is like the sun,
II brightens up our souls.
When in the stream doth rim.
And leaves tlie. streak bright as gold. ■
M AIT LONGER.
A PRETTY URINE LEGEND.
Once upon a time there, lived lie- ;
ide the Khine a Lenutifitl voting lady. ,
She had a lover wln> loved her. and
whom she loted in return. Bui. after
he had wooed her not one year, but
three—he asked her Io marry him:
and she, anxious to show her power,
merely answered :
Wail.’
'1 have waited three vents.'he sail 1 .,
but al your bidding. I will wail one
more—just one more.’
Then he weld away and became a
soldier, and j raise of his bravt ry lill
. d the land: but lhe ladv win- piqued
by lhe thought that he had hei'ii able I
Io leave her for even a year, stud when I
lie returned she determined to punish
him, though all the while she loved
lint well.
He knelt at her feel , and took iter
liaml in his, and said :
'Lady, 1 have come back to claim
t int for my w ife.’
But all she answered was:
Wait longer; a palient waller is
tot a loser.’
’I will wait, two years longer.’he
•aid, calmly, 'll I do not lose, all is
Well.'
Then he left her again. She had
imped that he would plead with her.
tnd Hint she would be forced to change
lief mind: but now he was gone—
gone for two long years. How she
lived through them she could not.tell:
lint they passed, tind again her lover
vus before her.
'I have wailed patiently,’was all
he said.
The lady yearned to east herself in
his arms, but pride was strong within
her.
'Wait longer.’ she said.
'Xo.’ he answered. 'This is the
last lime. If I wait now, I will wait
forever.’
At this she drew back haughtily.
‘Then wait forever,’ she said, cold
'y-
He li ft her without a word. And
now her heart sank within her. She
wept bitter tears, and repented in
dust and ashes. When a year had
gone by. she could bear her woe no
longer, and sent her little foot page
to her old lover, bidding him to bear
this message;
‘Come back to me.’
But the message the foot page
brought was just this :
‘Wait.’
Again she was left to her sorrow,
and two years glided by: then once
more she hade her page ride over the
mountains to her lover's castle.
'Tell him I ant waiting,’ she said.
The page rode away and rode back.
He stood before his lady and doffed
his cap. and repeated the message
that had been given Idin:
'The patient waiter is not a loser.’
■He is punishing me,’ thought the
lady, and for two years longer she
remained in her castle. Iler heart
was breaking—her health failed—she
knew that death was near.
Again she sent her cruel lover a
message.
’Tell him,’ she said,‘that I am near
my end, and that if I wait longer be
fore I see him. I shall wait forever.’
The page returned, and stood be
side his lady's chair. His eves were
full of tears; his head was bent upon
his breast; he sighed, and held his
face in his plumed cap.
The lady lifted her wan face.
‘Speak! she said. 'The message.’
THE TH. JirsTICE, LIBERTY.
BELLTON, BANKS (’oi'XTY, GA., DECEMBER 4,1879.
"Alas! sighed the page: '1 would ;
that it, were a more tender one.’
•1\ batever it may be. speak'!'saiil i
the lady.
'The only message that I have.' re-,
plied the page, is, ‘Wait forever.'
'I am well paid in my own coin,’
>:id the lady. ’At last 1 have re
ceived all my answers back.’
In a little while sli<» died, and they
buried her in the old eliuG hvaid, with
n 'Gate at her head and a stone at her
feel.
XX hen spring came (here was grass
upon the grave, and there was also a
new plant strange to those who look-,
ed upon it ; a plant with dark, glossy
leaves, that crept slowly hut stu'elv.
along, clulehing fast to every rough'
surface it met.
There had never been a plant like
that on earth before. ‘Now wo call
it an ivy, but this is what those who
s.aw it for the first time said of it:
‘lt is the lady whom her lover hade
to wail forever. In this form she is
creeping towards his castle slowly
lull surely. So she will creep on uu
iil she reaches (he heart she thre.vv
away.'
Generations have passed from the
earth. The castle is a ruin, covered
with ivy. and the ptasants will tell
you th it it has crept there from the.
ladv s grave, point by point, to er
sione am! rock, through the grave
yard. and over gates and fences. You
ait trace it it you choose, they sav
bitt you do not I rv.
"'ll s what thee 11 spend, my son.”
'aid a sage old Quaker, ‘-not what
thee 11 make, which will decide wheth
er time’s to be rich or m>|.” The ad
vice was trite, tor it was 1' ra.nklin’s in
mother shape: “Take care of the
p lice and th(> pounds will take cure
of themselves.’' But it cannot be too
.hen repealed. Men are continually ;
indulging m small expanses, saying •
to themselves it’s only a trifle, vet
forgetting that the aggregate is se-:
rious. that even the seashore is made i
up of pretty grains of sand. Ten cents I
i day is even thirty-six dollars and a I
half a year, anil that is the interest of i
a capital of six htmdred dollars. r ]'he ’
mat. that saves ten cents a dav only, I
i- so nnii h t iclier than he who does '
not. as if he owned a life estate in a '
house worth six hundred dollars; and i
if invested quarterly, does not take ;
half the time. |
If yon ever watched an icicle, as it j
formed, you would have noticed howl
it froze, one drop at a time, until it
was a foot long or more. If (he water
was clean, the icicle remained clear,
and it sparkling brightly in the sun;
'mt if lhe water was slightly muddy
the icicle looked foul, ami its beauty
was spoiled Just so our characters
arc formed. One little thought or
feeling at a lime add- its influence. If
every thought is pure am] right, the
soul will be bright and lovely, and
will sparkle with happiness, but if
there lie thoughts and feelings im
pure and wrong, the mind will be l
soiled, the character depraved and
darkened, and there will be final de-j
fortuity and wretchedness. How im
portant then that we should be on
our.guard against every evil impulse
and desire.
Teach your children to confide in
you, by conference together, 'fell
them your plans, and sometimes ask
their advice; they will thus open
their hearts to you, and will ask your
advice. The girl who tells all her
heart to her mother has a shield anti
a protection about her which can
come only with a mother’s advice
and counsel.

Gast an eye into the gay world;
what see we for the most part but a
set of querulous, emaciated, fantasti
cal beings, worn out iu the keen pur
suit of pleasure—creatures that know,

sue their own infelicity—the decayed
monuments of error, the thin remains
of what is called denght.

No man has a right to complain of
his lot, or of the times, or to call
upon society to help him, until he
has done all he can to help himself
by industry and fidelity in the place
and calling where he is. And he who
does this will seldom have cause to
complain.
Economy in itself is a great income.
THE LIVERY OF DRUNKENNESS. |
We hearil a gentleman remark the
other day: “T fell under (he power of
I appetite, as the rich man in hell must.
have felt when he longed for the drop
of water—l longed for the stimulating ,
influences upon my system, until I’
■ shrieked iu my agony.” Xot ouly ;
among these, hut among others. 0! ■
what a pitiful sight, it is to see men i
“who have fallen from positions of I
’ 'respectability into this fearful debas
ling habit! Have you ever seen them? ;
1 have—-clinging, as with a death-grip ;
. to the last remnant of respectability. '
X on see them, perhaps,going through
your streets in the faded black coat.
; well inked at the. seams, buttoned up j
! close in the neck, to hide the paucitv
■of lUe nether-garments, with an old
rusty pair of gloves, and a couple of
'inches of wrist between the tops of:
I the. glove and the culls of the once
I fashionable coat—the trousers posi
tively shining with old age—the hat.
:so dilapidated, broken, greasy, that
they go into mock-mourning and hide
lit with crape, and walk through the
i streets miserable to a habit which has
i striped them of everything worth hav
ing under heaven.
The. livery of their master has be
come to them like a garment of burn
ing prison, eating up all that is bright
and green and beautiful about them. 1
And when we. consider wha! slaves to i
this appetite have been called upon,
; and are culled eonlinally to endure,
we shall have some idea of the mighty
power of its influence. The intemper
late man is, above all others, a suffer
ing man—cramps tint! pains rack his
bones; his physical sutlering scarcely
can be comprehended— it cannot be
described, and yet, with his eyes wide j
open—knowing the cause that pro
duces the effect—he will clutch his
j blotted fingers round the cup ami
raise it to his blistered lips and drink,
Uitough he knows that every drop of
it is like another nail driven and well
I clinched in his coffin.
i The HiMi’oxsinii.i tv. A young
i man in Virginia had been sadlv in-
I temperate. He was a man of great
| capability, fascination and power, but
he had a passion for brandy which
j nothing could control. Often in his ,
; walks a friend remonstrated with him !
i in vain, and as often in turn would he
! urge his friend to take, a social glass
i with him, in vain. On one occasion
' the latter agreed to yield Io him, and '
I as they walked up to the bar together
the bar-keeper said:
‘Gentlemen, what will you have?’
•XVine, sir,’ was the reply.
The glasses were, tilled, and the.
friends stood ready to pledge each
other in renewed ami eternal friend
ship, when lie paused and said to his
intemperate friend;
| ‘Now, if I. drink this glass and be
' come, a drunkard, will you take the.
I responsibility ?’
j The drunkard looked at him with
I severity and said :
‘Set down that glass.’
‘lt was set down and they walked
j away without saying a word, and the
intemperate .young man was from
that reformed.

goes up to him and says :
‘Pardon me, young man; we want

‘Thanks, I never play cards.’

‘Thanks, I never drink.’

Generally speaking, a man cannot
i have a worse, or more tyrannical mas
. I ter than himself. As our habits and
! luxuries domineer over us the, mo
-1 meat we are in a situation to indulge
■ them, few people tire so dependent as
the independent. Poverty and sub-
, | jection debar us from many vices, by
, [ the impossibility of giving way to
things. When we are rich, and free
I from the domination of others, we are
. corrupted and oppressed by ourselves.
I INSTRUCTIONS TO A JURY.
Speaking of the courts reminds us
:of a funny instruct ion said to have
; been given by a judge to a jury in—
well, we won’t say in what State. It
rims in this way:
“If this jury believe, from the evi
-1 deuce, that the plaint ill’ and the, de
fendant were a partner in the grocery,
: and that the plaintiff bought out <le
-5 fendant, and gave his note for the in
; teri'st, anil defendant paid for note by
: delivering to the plaintiff a cow. which
: he warranted ‘not breaehy’ and the
warranty was broke by reason of the
breachiness of the cow, and the plain
liff drove the cow back and tendered
j her to the defendant, but the defend
ant refused to receive her, and the
i plaintiff took her home again, and put
[ a heavy yoke or poke upon her, to
prevent her from jumping the fence,
and the cow in attempting to jump
the fence, by reason of the aforesaid
yoke, or poke, broke her neck and
died, and if the jury further believe
that, the defendant’s interest in the
grocery aforesaid was not worth any
thing, the plaintiffs note was worth
less, and the said cow good for noth
ing, either for milk or beef, or for
‘green hide,’ then the jury must find
[out for themselves how they will de
! cide the case, for the court, if she un
: derstands herself, and she. thinks she
[do, don’t know how such a cussed
case should be decided.

A comic fellow down the river says :
1 The slate of matrimony is one of the
! 'tiil.ed Stales, that is bounded by hug
ging ami kissing on one side, and
babies and cradles on the other. Its
[ chief products are. population, broom
| sticks and staying out late at nights.
Il was discovered by Adam and Eve,
in trying to find a northwest passage
out of Paradise. The climate is sul
try till you pass the tropics of house
keeping, when squally weather gen
erally sets in with such power as to
keep all hands as cool as a cucumber.
For the. priticipal roads leading into

“All the nice men are, married,”
exclaimed a bright-eyed beauty the
other day, with a toss of her little !
head. She probably meant to say
that all married men were nice. Os
course they are. It is ' marriage that
makes them so, and the thing for that
I same lit tle, beauty to do is to take
t coinpassion on some miserable bache
lor and make him both happy and
“nice.”
A matt married a dumb woman be
cause she, could never scold him. Im
agine his anguish when she writes out
her curtain lecture on a slate, and
when he comes home at one a. m. she
makes him read them aloud to her,
that she may know he docs read and
understand them.
The girl of the period can puff her
own hair without the aid of a newspa
per, but when it conies to regulating
the bustle incident to society, or filling
a long felt want in the bosom of man
kind, you bet the newspaper’s in.
Thus spoke a sweetheart to her
■ lover the other night: “If you intend
I to hug me, don’t do it suddenly, be-
■ cause the chair you are sitting on has
a broken leg, and you might get a
t tumble.”
This is a world of second-hand
, goods. Every pretty girl has been
some other fellow’s sweetheart.

THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.
Attention to small things is the
economy of virtue.
Men may bend to virtue, but virtue
cannot bend to men.
The wild oats of youth change into
the briars of manhood.
Repentance is the heart’s sorrow,
and a cleaY life ensuing.
The doer of a secret sin supposes it
is he they are talking about.
There would be fewer young fools
if there were more wise elders.
A cheerful face is nearly as good
for an invalid as healthy weather.
Passions are perhaps the stings
without which, it is said, no honey is
made.
A man’s own safety is a god that
sometimes makes very grim com
mands.
Lay by a good store of patience,
but be sure to put it where you can
find it.
When a great man stoops or trips,
the small men around him become
greater. .
The readiest and best way to find
out what future duty will be, is to do
present duty.
Curiosity compels many to wedge
themselves into places where they
are not wanted.
Do not anxiously except what is
not yet come. Do not vainly regret
what is already past.
Watch for opportunities of useful
ness. Every day brings them, and
once gone they are gone forever.
Despise not advice, though even of
the meanest. The gabbling of geese
once preserved the Roman State.
It is safer to affront some people
(han to oblige them ; for the better a
man deserves, the worse they will
speak of him.
Deceit is the false road to happiness
and all (lit 1 joys we travel through to
vice, like fairy banquets, vanish when
we touch them.
One who had lived more than fifty
years said, as the hand of death was
upon him, “I have all my days been
getting ready to live, and now I must
die.”
The old ought to treat the young
with benevolence; anil men should
be kind to the children, remembering
that childhood is especially dear to
God.
Piety must be habitual, not by fits.
It cannot be put on when Sunday
comes, and discarded when it is over.
That would be the basest kind of
hypocrisy.
Our customs and habits are like the
ruts in roads; the wheels of life settle
in them, and we jog along through the,
I mire, because it is too much trouble
| to get out of them.
Power is not always proportionate,
to the will. One should be consulted
before the other; but the generality
of men begin by willing, and act
afterwards as they can.
Speak kindly at night, for it may
be that before the dawn some loved
one may finish his or her space of life
for this world, and it would be too
late to ask forgiveness.
You are to find Christian joy in
your duties in the family, in your
duties outside of the family, in your
every-day life at home and in socie
ty—in nature, in all things.
lie who spends his younger days in
dissipation is mortgaging himself to
disease and poverty, two inexorable
creditors, who arc certain to fore
close at last and take possession of
the premises.
Teach your child the evil of secret
vice, and the consequences of using
tobacco and spirituous liquors; teach
them to be temperate, orderly, punc
tual, prompt, truthful, neat, faithful
and honest.
Encourage your child to be careful
of personal appearance; to always
pay debts promptly; to never shirk a,
duty; to return every tool to its
place; to do an equal share, and to
always live up to an agreement.
