WORDS TO THE HIRES. The following advice to the girls is being extensively distributed among families of the Eastern States: Don’t go with a man if he is a stranger to you, or one whose reputation you are not acquainted with. Remember that iu ordinary business the same rule is applied as a protection against the loss of money. No banker or money-lender will trnst a stranger; no business man will soil him goods on time without guarantee against loss or deception.

He will now remove his family from Atlanta to New York and take up his residence there at least one year. lie is to be connected with General Gi ant’s Mexican railroad. It is reported by a railroad man that Sam llill was lately seen in a sa loon iu Mobile, Ala. He was en gaged in an altercation, in which he floored his antagonist. The report goes that when arrested for disturbing the peace he made himself known to some of his friends there and the sporting men, and secured his release. Mr. W B S Davis, of Polk county, was assaulted on the 6th, about dusk in his barn while feeding. His assail ant was concealed in the loft and tired on him with a pistol, but utisaed his mark and Tsin attacked with a hand- axe, inflicting a slight cut 00 the head.

A ladies’ cooking club has been or ganized in Albany. It is to have male members, however, whose duties will lie to chop wood, bring water etc., for the fair dailies of the kitchen while engaged in their labors. A gallant Alabama editor in ‘notic ing’ a grocery kept by a woman, says, • Her tomatoes are as red as her own cheeks, her indigo as blue as her own eyes, and her pepper as hot as her temper.’ Plaids nre being run into the ground beyond a doubt. It is no .uncommon thing now when a lady gets into a street car robed in a plaid pilgrim to hear the other plaid less women in the ear whisper, ‘My, aint that an awful horrid ugly dress ?’ A poor little New York bride had nn awlul thing to hapten to her the other day 'As she was wnlking up the aisle to be lied forever, somestu- pid usher stepped on the trail, ripped the skirt of her dress more than halt off. and as no one had the sense to repair the damage, she was married in thol plight.

That is what scares the boys. Girls of the period, indeed all sorts 1 f girls, fall in love ns easily as they draw the breath of life, and they are always imagining some moustached young fellows to be the only man they ever loved. For the benefit of tliese kiisci ptible beauties we give the fid- Icwing ncipe : 'When we imagine we love It is the presence of the loved one that deceives us. YVjitn wC truly love, it is absence that proves it.’ Hosiery in the new shades tnny be h id to match the suits, and so may gloves. The *gnnt de suede’ is an improved form of the ‘•nek’ glove.

The gubernatorial canvass was managed by Gov. Brown, and resulted in victory for himself and Colquitt. The history of all elections in the South will explain this one also. With all the election machinery in their hands, with an immense sum oi State money lying idle in certain interested banks, through which Gov Brown transacts his financial business, placet! there by authority of Gov. Colquitt, the result could be easily foreseen. Brown elecsed Colqiiittaud also Brown delegates to the legislature at the same time. The election of United Stab s Senator was the beginning and the end of it. The convict ring can now enjoy the profits of 1,200 slaves, for wliich they pay a nominal price, and by which they absolutely control the Empire State of the South, through the Governor and United States Sen ator. Joseph E. Brown has a very unsavory recoid as a Democrat, but his record as a Republican is odious. He is a political acrobat. He leaps from one party to another, calculating always upon his own pecuniary profit with certainty. As a Democratic State rights Governor in Georgia, he committed the first act of treason in the State, by seizing the United Slates arsenal, at Augusta, before Georgia seceded. He was a violent seccsgioni-t, and armed a number of troops with ‘ Joe Brown pikes,’ and sent them to the seat of war to scare tlie great yankee nation. Until Ji ff Davis began to overshadow him, he was the war Gov ernor of the South and the conledern- cy. Then he begau.to cool off, aud he set up au inside fracas that would have crumbled tho whole affair if Giant..bad not whipped itj out at Appomattox. T Brown wont iu poor and came out rich—no man knows his wealth or its origin. Georgia went iu rich and came out luor, and nobody knows the channel by which her wiallh was (rained off; but speculateu is rife aud suspicious are plentiful. As soon as the war was over Gov. Brown became* a violent republican to avert coufisca lion. Tho first legislature that met in Georgia in 1868 found him on hand as a candidate for United States Senator, but the republicans were not willing to trust a recruit who was nt that time pushing schemes through the legislature to give him tl>e convict lease and tie railroad lease of the State. They did not elect him, but Gov. Bullock made him Chief-Justice oi the Supreme Bench, which office he held until he saw the democrats soon as Congress ceases to legislate on the question and to give the leaders of your party new caus s ol agitation and complaint wliich enable them to apply the party lash to hold the or ganization together. It is a hetero geneous mass of as antagonistic ele ments as ever banded together in one common cause. It is composed ot original whigs, democrats, know- nothings, secessionists, union men, white men, mestizoes, and negroes.

Now, as republican Chief- Justice in the State, denouncing the democracy! The mestizoes 1 Granting his patriotism in this lat ter office. What do yon think ot the mealiness of the sci, as well as the corruptness ot the motive, which will charge the republican party with fraud in giving Hayes his real in the White House? How Satan must have grinned with pride and satisfaction over his suc cessful training! In the year 1874 Gov. Brown pub lished an .open letter, in which these words occur. * It was a hard enough fate upon us for our conquerors to abolish slavery and wrest from us without a dollar ot compensation the billions ol dollars invested in that properly. [‘The lust of gold suc ceeds the lust of conquest!’] then to compel us to stand upon terms of legal equality with our former slaves and meet them as eqnals at the bal lot-box. In my judgment there »ra but two contingencies which can avoai the evil, one i» the overwhelming de» teat ot the republican party this fall. If ibis should tail, the onlv remain ing hope is the veto power of the President.’ Compare this letter with u publish ed speech made in the city ot At lanta Aug. 19, 1868, to a large as sembly of negroes: “ The object of democracy is to destroy negro suf frage in the South. When did you ever hear ot four million freemen with the ballot in their bauds surrendering it without bloodshed V II you let them alone, they will vote peaceably. If you don’t tny white friends, you will provoke a state of things in which you will be the greatest suf- ferers. Your booses, yonr villages, and yonr towns are pledged to peaee !

There are ninety thousand of you, my colored friends!’ Here is a man who ate his own words—kissed the feet of his enemy, and whined that he had to ireet the negro as an equal at the ballot-box^ Poor old bull-dozed Georgia!

Some designing parties planned to deceive her, and made her believe her hus band was dead. Tiiey conveyed simi lar news to .Mr. Prescott concerning his wile, aud were successful in their designs to the last degree. Mrs. Prescott, feeling satisfied lie- yonil all doubt that her husband was dead afterwards married a man whom we wili call Mr. Jackson, and by some means they drifted to Georgia and settled in the little town ol Roswell. Fortune that had smiled so brightly on Jter in her 'early life was now changed, and in casting about for re sources upon which site might draw, wrote to a lawyer in Texas inquiring if something cuiild be had trum the Prescott estate. The astonndic g news came back that Mr. Piescott was livi ing. If the heavens and the earth had come together before Mrs. Jackson’s eyes her surprise would not have been greater. Mr. Prescott wrote and urged tier to come to him, expressing a willing ness to take care of two ot the strau-- ger’s children, aud supposing that he would want to keep the other two, Mr. Jack-on was willing for her to return to her rightful husband, her first love. In this particular is it un like Enoch Arden ? Dr. Jones kindly saw the un'brtu- nate and t fortunate lady off on her journey to her long lost husband. The meeting will be almost as if by those who had returned from another world. The chequered liie of Mrs. Prescott out-rivals fiction. Mr. Prescott never married again.

'the man who would go to destruction witlu.m you would quite as likely go with you, and, perhaps, drag you along. Remember, your future haps piness depends altogether on the kind of a partner you get, as it is he that makes your home on earth a heaven or a home of sorrow. Therefore, be sure, take none other than one that is equally pure as yourself. Remember that man, when he looks for a wife, seeks sobriety, virtue and purity in a woman. Why should not women then demand the same of men ? Drunkenness turns a man out of him self and leaves a beast in its place. Do not marry for a home and a living when, by taking care of your health, you can be strong enough to earn your own living. Be kind and true to your own sex. Do not let fathers, mothers or aunts sell you ior money or position into bondage, tears and life-long mis eries, which you alone must endure. Do uot meet any man clandestinely, as it may be to your sorrow. Do not place yourself habitually in the soeie- ty of any suitor until you have deci ded tlie question of matrimony. Hu man wills are weak—giris, especially, often become bewildered, and do not know their error until it is too late. Get away from all other influences except‘good motheis.’ Settle your head aud make up your mind alone. A word from a good mother will not harm you, as she is the last and crown ing handiwork of God, the liuk con necting heaven and earth, the eo- downmeut of purity, holiness aud heavenly grace, tiie most perfect com bination of modesty, patience, devotion affection, gratitude and loveliness and fit for auy high or holy trust.

Forget not, he only that is free from vice is fit to be your companion, aud no other.

She ran to jump on her bed and smother the flames, when the beddiug commenced burning. : She then opened her door and screamed for Mrs. S. who was soon aroused and went to her relief.

Mrs.Siu- glelou put out the fire on the woman, then snatched her infant from the burning lied, carried the bod clothes out ot the door, and ran a mile for a man to go after a physician. The man was not there, so she got hold of a boy, returned to her house, went in her field, caught a horse, seat the boy tor a doctor, and broke twenty-tour eggs (which she, Mrs., S., was saving for Christmas) and put the whites on the cremated sufferers. Her efforts were unavailing, however, for the untor- tunato mother and child have both died. The Bainbridge Democrat indulges in the following sensible remarks: If tho south just would pay more attention to manufacturers, not alone of cotton, but of everything else, for which we are. now dependent upon other sections, we would soon cease to hear the taunting cry of a ** solid south.” On the other band, we might be just as solid as we pleased, for the whole yankee nation would be bowing at our feet. The south can be inde pendent of tlie north, and through the medium of the pocket she can control the “bloody shirt’’ howlers, and strike her detainers of all classes speechless. The war made the north rich and the south poor; but when manufactories start up in every hamlet, ai d the sooth begins to depend solely upon herself lor everything that her people consume, she will then be rich and powerful, and the great problem of her political future will have been solved.

Why any one Bixty years of age, es» peciidly a Queen and Empress, who is so rich that it is said she can easily lay up $1,000,000 a year, should em bark in life insurance is hard to com prehend. England's Queen is pro nounced to be the wealthiest woman on the globe. It is asserted that put ting aside all other sources ofincome. Duchy of Lancaster and legacy from Mr. Neild bring her in $300,000, a year, and her income does not fall short of $3,000,000 per annum. And if the royal matron who is so wise ami gentle, and deservedly fills a'lftrgo space in the hearts of her liege sub jects, wanted more spending money. Parliament would be quick to advance the desired sum. Why then should she insure her life, when every child a'so receives a munificent allowance from the government?
