An April Welcome.
BY PIUEBE CAKT.
*Coiri'e up April, through the valley,
In your iobe* ol beauty drest,
Come and wake your flowery
From thdr wintry beds of res.;
Come and uverfliw them softly
With the sweet breath of the South ;
Drop upon them, warm ami loving.
Tenderest kisses from your mouth.
Touch them with your rosy finger?.,
Wake them with your pleasant tread,
Push away the leaf-brown covers,
Over a I their faces spread ;
Tell them how tha sun is waiting
Longer daily in the skies,
Looking lor the bright uplifting,
Os their tringed eyes. #
Call the crow-foot and the crocus,
Call the pale anemone,
Call the violet and the daisy,
Clothed witn careful modesty ;
•Seek the low and humble blossoms,
Os their beauties'Unaware,
Let the Dandelion and fennel
Show their shining yellow hair.
Bid the little homely sparrows.
Chirping in the cold and rain
Their impatient sweet Complaining,
Sing out from their hearts again ;
Bid them set themselves to mating,
Cooing love iu so I test words,
•Crowd their nests, all cold and empty,
Full of little callow birds.
•Come up, April, through the valley,
Where the fonu tain bleeps today';
Let him. treed from icy fetters,
Go rejoicing on his way ;
Through the flow, r-enamelled meadows,
Let him run his laughing race,
Making love to all the blossoms.
That o'erleaa and kiss his lac-,
*B it not birds and blossoms only,
Not alone the streams Complain ;
Men and maiden too are called,
'Come up. April, come again !
Waiting with ih- sweet impatience
O' a lover for tit • hours
That shall set the tender beauty
Os thy feet am nig tile fl iweis.

One’s Mother. — Around the idea of
one 1 * mother the mind of man clings
with fond affection. It is the first dear
thought slumped upon infant hearts,
when yet soft and capable of receiving
the most profound impressions, and all
the after feelings are more or less in
comparison. Our passions and our wil
fulness m»y lead us far from the object
of our filial love; we may become wild,
headstrong, and angry at her counsels
or opposition; but when death has still
ed her admonitory voice, and nothing
but calm memory remains to recapitu
late her virtues and good deeds, affec
tion, like a flower beaten to the ground
by a rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amidst her tears. Round that
idea, us we have said, the mind clings
with fond affection; and even when the
earliest period of our loss forces
ry to be silent, fancy takes the place of
remembrance, and twines the image of
our departed parent with a gtrlaud of
graces and beauties and virtues which
we doubt not she possessed.

An Old Blockads Runner.
A Oherleston (S. C.) correspondent
oi the Cincinnati Commercial writes':
‘Captain Finn IV-k is an old and
successful blockade mmier, and con
verses freely upon his exploits daring
the war. He is sixty-four years old,
iia!« und hearty, although touched with
.paralysis, and believes that he will live
to see many yonng men hnmd. He
was opposed to secession, but when
South Carolina went out he fell into the
war wiih the zea! of his fellow-citizens
of Churl i-sto'i, and turned his nantical
knowledge to account, became a block,
ade runner.
‘Whenever If >ut»d how things were
going,’ said he to three or four L’incin
nattians sealed in his cabin, sipping
otard and water, this morning, asjlie
City Point spread over the sparkling
•crest-of the Atlantic,*‘i made up my
mind. I bid my folks good-bye, and
told them I was g nng to Kentucky and
Tennessee to buy cattle, i(and the jolly
old salt laughed at the conceit,) but I
was going farther. I took a carpet,
sack, sortie old clothes, four pounds of
plug tobacco and a bottle of whiskey,
and headed for Louisville, where I *pe it
one night. My next stopping place
was ill Niagara Falls, where people’s
baggage was examined by the revenue
officers.
‘What have you there old gentle
man ?’ asked a smart fellow, w.th a
gold bun on his cap.
‘A few old clothes, some tobacco, and
a bottle of whiskey” I answered
‘Won’t you have some ?’
‘Ni , thank yea:; not now,’ says he.
‘Pass along.’
You better believe I felt relieved, for
you see I had sterling exchange for
$500,000 sowed in the collar of an old
coal in my carpet-sack and I’d have felt
cheap giiiiijr back to Charleston with
out it.
Weill went to England. That waft
in June 1801, and I returned in Decem
ber following, with a ship load of arms
and munitions of war which were safely
landed in Charleston.
‘How much money did you make,
Captain
‘.Wa'I,W, I made $15,000 ill gohl ou
that trip; paid $9,0')0 that 1 owed in
Charleston; made ray family oomfortu

England for safe keeping. I had $360

‘No, sir, never, but came near being

her and made right for us. They tired
two tm.idled and odd shots; several
struck us, but only one done any dam

boiler, and l run the vessel into the
shoals at Nassau. The eiew escaped ;
wreckers oame down and saved the ves

‘Bid you run the same vessei all
through the war ?’
‘No, sir; I commanded several—tiie
Bermuda, the Cecile, the Kate, the Mar

terward called the Stonewall Jackson.
The (Jecdile, Kate and Stonowad were
lost; the rest came out all right. I

‘Where did yon run principally, Cap

‘Well, sir, some times into Charles

‘Were you not afraid of the torpedoes
in the Charleston h;.rbor!’
‘No, sir.’ I had a chart of the har.
bor, prepaved by the Confederate engi
neers and torpedo corps, showing where
the things wjsresunk and simply steered

never was obstructed during the war,
and any ship could haye come in, but it
seemed they were afraid.’
‘Well, some of them did come in, in
spite of the torpedoes.’
‘Yes, sir, the Ironsides passed righ't
over a torpedo made out of a thirty
foot boiler,charged with 4 000 pounds of
powder, ar.d sunk only a mile from Fort

Parental Government.
In all well regulated households the
father of the family exercises a watch
ful i-ai’e over his children. He nates
their various .phase* of temperament
and disposition, their hopes and fears;
their anxieties and d'raapjwintments-;
their physical development and moral
progress, and he becomes in a measure
answerable in society -for their good com
dfict With the help of the mother,
most youthful minds may be moulded in
to gentleness and obedience. Filial du
ty then becomes a pleasurable habit,
lhalt is observed durmg life, and refsr*
ence for old age is one of the most no
ticeable characteristics of such a house
hooid.
‘Honor thy father and thy mother,
that thy days may be long ia the land
which tiie Lord thy Cod hath given
thee,* is an injunction of Holy Writ, and
never were words more appropriate- A
disobedient son or daughter always cre
ates unhappiness, and ultima tel)’ brings
dishonor to the domestic circle, as such
children are surely and constantly feed
'i»g their own base passions at the shrine
of evil. Few young people become tru.
ly sensible of the injurious effects pro.
duced on the mind by a constant asso
ciation with vicious persons. ‘No one
can touch tar without being defiled,’ is
an old proverb, that holds good at all
times and everywhere.
In the moral, as in the physical world,
no measure of carefulness and culture
from one of the parents can atone for
premeditated and pernicious practices
or examples of the other. A father i*
without power to govern his family, if
the mother thoughtlessly oppose him,
and there is no method whereby the
childre*g,if the family cah be induced to
yield him their willing obedience. It is
utterly impossible to prevent evii results
flowing lroin a conflict of authority on
the part of the parents. The children
are insensibly imbued with a spirit of
disobedience, and are quick to manifest
it on the least, exercise of parental au
thority.
A good mother can exercise no holier
calling than to guide the footsteps of
her children in the path of duty and
honor. If she also affords her children
a proper example by her own walk and
conversation, she will in her declining
years have no cause to regret duties un
performed, nor -admonitions that were
unheeded.

CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1870.
Memories.
The heart has memories that Can nev
er die. The rough nsage of the world
cannot obliterate them. Feeble age,
trembling on the brink of the grave, has
them when everybody else has fled
away and been forgotten. They are the
memories of home —early home—t-he
house where we were born; the gar
den, with its f >Ses where the robins
made their nests, spring after spring,
paying their rent in songs such as We
dream of, but never hear afterward;
the old din and swing, where the chil
dren used to play, while the mother sat
by the window, her face beaming out
occasionally from the folds of the mus
lin curtain; the same olu house, with
jts pointed gables, quaint cornices aDd
antique windows ; the wainscoted chain
her where we used to dream of all that
the great, glad world had in store for
us. Dear old home, with its gay
dreams, and sunny hours, and cloudicss
skies, and visions of bliss and glorious
happiness—gone, all gone.
The traveler, climbing the mountains
of land not his own, amid aii his toil and
changes, reverts ever and anon to the
time when, a youth or schoolboy, he
roamed the fields and hills of his own
native home.
The mariner, rocked by the storms
of the sea, or resting at some foreign
port, will run through the long lapse of
‘years back to the house where, with
brother and sister, he frolicked the joy
ous hoars of youth away-
Neither change nor time, neither age
nor youth, neither distance aor disease,
neither guilt nor passion can ever blot
rom the heart, the memories of the
spring-time of life. These memories
will reproduce, on the verge of eternity,
the freshness of emotion, of life and de.
sire, with which existence ou earth be
gan.
The "amily Circle. —No other earth
ly circle can be compared with that of
the family. It comprises all that a hu
man heart most values and delights in.
It is the centre where all human affec
tions meet and entwiue, the vessels into
which they all pour themselves with
such joyous freedom. There is no one
word which contains in it so many en
dearing assoefations and precious re,,
rnembraiKves, hid in the heart like gold*
It appeals at once to the very centre of
man’s being, “his heart of heart’s.” All
that is sweet, soothing, teudor, and true,
is wrapped up in that one name. It
speaks not of one circ e or ol one bond ;
put of many circles anti many bonds—
nil of them near the heart. Tiie family
home, the family hearth, the family ta'
ble, family habits, family voices, family
tokens, family salutations, family melo
dies, family joys and family sorrows;
what a mine of recollections lie under
that one word l Take these a Way, and
earth becomes a mere churchyard of
crumbling bone*, and men as so many
grains of loosened sand, or M best, but
as fragments of a torn flower which
the winds are scattering abroad.
All that is beautiful in human rela
tionship, or tender In nuinan affection,
or gentle in human intercourse; all that
is lovely and precious to the movements
of human hearts from its lowest depth
to its uppermost surface, all these are
wrapt up in the one uante of family.—
For close knit bonds, for steadfast, faith
fulness in love, for depth of sympathy,
for endurance in trial and danger—
where nhall we find anything to be coiiV
pared to the story of earth’s family cir
eie ? Conjugal love, parental love, broth*
erly love, sisterly love, all are here.—
The many streams of human affections
empty themselves into it, fl >w out of it
for the fertility and gladness of the
earth.
A Cheerful Atmosphere. —Let us
try to be like the sunshiny member of
the family who has the inestimable art
of making all duty seem pleasant, all
self denial and exertion easy and desir
able ; even disappointment not so blaek
and crushing; who is like a bracing,
crisp, frosty atmosphere throughout the
home, without a suspicion of the ele
ment that chills and pinches. have
kirewn people within whose influence
you. felt cheerful, amiable, hopeful,
equal 1o anytliiug. I do not know a
more enviable gift than the energy to
sway others to good ; to diffuse around
us an atmosphere of clieei fulness, piety,
truthfulness, generosity, magnanimity.
It is not a matter of great energy ; but
rather of earnestness and honesty, and
of that quiet, constant energy which is
like soft rain gently penetrating the soil.
It is rather a grace than a gift; and
we all know where all grace is to be
had freely for the asking.
‘Why don’t you limit yourself?’

The Road to Ruin.
‘You’re a pretty girl to get married,’
said an aged aunt to her niece. ‘Why,
‘what do you know about house-keeping,
jest from a boarding school. I’m sure
your husband has need of a mint of
money.’
‘La, aunt, I expect to board; you
need not think I shall bother myself
with domestic concerns. Everybody
boards now that gets married genteelly
—the first year at least.’
‘What shall you pay ft Week for sich
kind o’ living inquired the aunt.
‘Mr. Hodge says he can get first rate
accommodations for fifteen dollars; two
rooms, beautifully situated, and I am
sure that is cheap enough.’
‘Wjiat is Hodge’s salary V
‘Wlfy, six huudred, aunt, bow, and
the promise of promotion—perhaps eight
hundred, before tiie year is out.’
‘So you are going to live ou the per
haps, are you ? Now, let me tell you„
Belinda, you talk foolishly ; if your hus
band is at present receiving six hundred,
do you lay by one of them—it’s all non
sense to go beyond your means.’
‘Why, aunt nobody would respect us
if we did not live as stylish as other peo
ple—there is a great deal in the begin
ning.’’
‘True, child; that is what I waut to
impress upon you.’ *
The year passed away. Belinda
lived in atyle, paid her fifteen dollars
■for board, receiving her ‘genteel’ ac
quaintances, worked some tabourets,
drew a few sketches from oil paintings,
grew tired of boarding, and was just
entering, on fashionable housekeeping,
when 10, a defalcation came out 1 Hodge
bad taaen money unlawfully, was arres
ted, held to bail, and a prison stared him
in the face! Belinda did not believe him
guilty ; they had always lived ‘economi
cally,’ and it could not be. But the tri
al proved otherwise, and he was convic
ted, and sentenced lo imprisonment.
‘How came you, Ilodge, to do So?’
inquired the same old aunt.
‘To please my wife’s fancy,’ was the
reply. ‘She wanted to live like other
people, and I wished to gratify her, and
in this way I committed my first breach
of trust.’
The broken hearted wife lamented the
beginning she had made when it was
too late to rectify it. She found res
pectability preferable to gentility. She
now lives at her father’s with a worse
than widow’s sorrow to harrow her feel*
ir.gs, and takes in sewing as a liveli
hood.
The plain road to ruin is here clearly
marked out.
We see what has been the result of
such a coiirse; but are not thousands
of others sacrificing their husband’s rep.
utatioiis by less obvious, but still us cer
tain, courses of extravagance? Away
with the nonsensical thought, that g**n
tility demands such a sacrifice beyond
one’s ability. If you value the opinion
of the truly worthy and estimable, you
will find them always on the sideofpru
dent expenditure and economical liviog*

The Goose. —Josh Billings *ays the
goose is a grass animal, but don’t chew
her coud.
They are good livers—about one aker
to a goose is enough.
But I don’t think if I had a farm of
176 a kern, awl paid for, that I would
sell it for what it was worth, just be
cause it didn't have but one goose on
it. Geese stay well; some of our best
biographers say sixty years, and grow
tough to the last,
They are good eating, but not good
chawing; the reason ov this remains
a profound secret to this day.
When the female goose is at work
hatching, she is a hard bird to pleaze;
she riles clear up from the bottom in a
minmt, and will fight a yoke of oxen if
they show her the least bid of saas.—
Tiie geese are excellent for the feathers,
not only to feather their own nests, but
other people’s.
But they are more sureist about one
thing; they can haul one leg up into
their boddy, and stand on tother all day,
and not touch anything witii their
hands.

the counselor: ‘but I’ll tell you what

mount behind her, and you are safe, for
she runs away with you.' The next
day the lawyer found that it was bis
own daughter who had run away with
his client.

The Sun’s Heat.
It is evident that the atmosphere must
act in difluning heat just as we have
seen that it acts in diffusing light. The
effect is one of the thousand condition
on which thß existence of organic life
depends. Were it not for the influence
of the atmosphere the greatest extremes
of temperature would be produced l>\
the alternation of day and night ; an*
and even were the deusity of the atmos
phare reduced only one-half, the vuria
tion would be so great as to render the
existence of the higher forms ol organic
iife impossible. But not only does the
atmosphere diffuse the heat of the sun’s
rays; it also acts, and even more effect
ualiy, iu retaining ou the surface the
heat which tho earth is constantly re
ceiving from the great central luminary.
The atmosphere has thus been compar
ed to a mantle, for like a huge cloak, it
envelopes the earth in its folds, and pro
tects it from the chill of the celestial
spaces through which we are rushing
with such immense velocity.
The atmosphere also serves an equal
ly important end in distributing the
genial warmth of the sun’s rays over
the whole surface of the earth, modera
ting the climate of the temperate zone,
and mitigating the intensj heat of the
tropics. Air, like all gases, is expand
ed by heat, and f hus rendered specifi
cally lighter; and on this simple prin.
eiple all our methods of warming and
ventilation are based. Now, when we
remember that the atmosphere under
the tropics must become more intensely
heated by the vertical rafs of the sun
than it is in the temperate zone, ttie re
sult will be obvious. The heated air
rises, and the cold air rushes in from
the north and south to take its place.—
In this manner the Wade and other
winds are produced. The aerial cur-
coming from the south, bring
with them the heat of the tropics, and
distribute it over the temperate zone,
while return currents carry the cooler
air of the north towards the tropics.
But, although the heat of the sun
might set in motion these aerial cur
rents, they would have but little effect
in warming our northern climate, were
it not that tho air has been endowed
with a certain capacity of holdiog heat*
All substances possess this capacty to a
greater or less degree, but the differ
ences between them are very larg .
Were the capacity of tiie air less, the
hot air from the tropics would bring to
us proportionally less heat; were it
greater, the reverse would bo the case ;
and in either event, the distribution of
temperature on the earth would be
changed. To what extent such a
change would affect the general wel
fare of man, it is impossible to deter
mine; but when we consider how far
the history of man has been influenced
by cliinat , it will appear that the pres
ent distribution of the human race—the
existence, for example, of a large and
influential city in any particular place—
may be said to depend ou the adjust
ment of the capacity of the atmosphere
for heat. And yet it depends no less
on a thousand other conditions,, many
of them far more important.
Social Honor. —Every person should
cultivate a nice sense of honor. In a
hundred diff rent ways this most fitting
adjunct of the true lady or gentleman in
often tried. For instance, one is a
guest in a family .where, perhaps, the
domestic mummery does not run
smoothly. There is a sorrow m the
house unsuspected by the oflter world.
Sometimes it is a dissipated son whose
conduct is a shame aud grief to his pa,
rents; sometimes a relative whose ec.
centricities arid peculiarities are a cloud
on the home. Or, worst of all, husband
and wife may not bo in accord, and there
may be often bitter words spoken, ami
harsh recriminations. In any of these
cases the guest is in honor bound to be
blind and deaf, so far as people without
are concerned. If a gentle word with*
in can do good, it may well be said, but
to go forth and reveal the shadow of an
unhappy secret to any one, even your
nearest friend is an act of indelicacy
and meanness almost unparalleled.—
Once in the sacred precincts of any
home, admitted to its privacy sharing
its life, ell that you see and hear, should
become a 6acred trust. It is as really
contemptible to gossip of such things as
it would be to steal the silver or borrow
the books and forget to return them.
Absurdities.— To say after a thing
happens, ‘I knew it was going to take
place.’
Tomsk a merchant if the article he
sells you is first quality.
To carry ‘bricks’ in your hat and fan
cy you can keep them hidden from the
world.
To think you must win a lawsuit be
cause you have the law and evidence on
your side.
To tell a person of whom you would
borrow’ money that you urgently need it
To think the great difficulty in life is
to find opportunity for the talent, and
not talent for the opportunity.
To make a foolish match and then
ask a friend’s opinion of it.
To say that you have no leisure in
stead of no disposition to improve your
m nd or do good.

DISEASES OF THE BLCOD.
“The life of the fl ish is in the Blood,” is n
Scriptural maxim that science proves to b
t.rne. The people talk of bad blood, as the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu
ar opiuions this of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually
qui'e plain—bad Digestion —enu-es imperfect
nutrition, and consequently the circulation is
fettle, the soft, t'ssu s loose their tone and
••lasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, btoad,
and frequently covered with a nasty, white
coat. Tuis condition soon shows itself in
••oughness of t.he skin, then in einptiVe and
ulcerative diseases, and When long continued,
r* soltsin serious lesions of the Brain, Liver,
Lungs, or Urina r v apparatus. Much, verv
much, suffering is caused by impure blood It
is estimated by some that one-fitth of the hu
man family are effected with sciofula iu some
form.
When the Blood is phre, you are not so lia
ble to any disease. Many impurities of the
Blood arise from impure diseases of large cit
ies. Eradicate every imp inly from the foun
tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital
strength will return to you.
