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, own. condemn, deplore, j'et still pur 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. - « » Three old gentlemen are sitting around a table on a steamboat wait-! mg to get another party to a game of ; cart Is. Presently they espy a nice : looking young fellow. One old party goes up to him and says : ‘Pardon me, young man; we want : somebody to join us in a game of cards; would be happy to have you with us.’ ‘Thanks, I never play cards.’ ‘Take a drink with ns.’ ‘Thanks, I never drink.’ ‘Well, have a cigar.’ ‘Thanks, I never smoke.’ ‘Eh! Now I rather like that in a [young man. Cornc into the cabin and I ll introduce you to my wife and daughter.’ I a 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. » 4. < Oh.it was a terrible runaway!

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.

Queer fellow, but pretty ac curate in matrimonial geography. • <-* • “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. • Though fancy may be the patient’s . complaint,necessity is often the doctor TNortli Oooi’g’ian, PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT BELLTON, GA. ■ RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION.

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.
