Outlived her Usefulness-
Not long since a good-looking man,
in middle life, came to our door, in-king
for‘the minister.' \Vhen informed that
he was out of town, he seemed disap s *
(minted rffnl anxiofl*. Ofl being ques
tioned as to tiir« business, lie replied ? ‘1
have lost my mother ; and at this -plsnfl
used to tie her home, and my father lies
here, we have Come t<S lay tier beside
him' Our hearts rose in sympathy,
And we said, ‘You tiaVe met with great
few*.’
*Weil —yes,’ repl ed the Strong man,
with hesitancy, ‘a mother is a great l**-*
in general; but our mother has outlived
htd* Usefulness; she was in her second
childhood, and her mind was as weak
as her body, so that she was no com fort
to herself, and was a bn*den trt eVery
In>dy. There was seven **l us sons and
daughters; and, as we could not find
anybody who was willing to board her,
we agreed to keep h -r among us a y'ear
alwuit. But I’ve had more than my
shared her. for she was too leeble to
be moved when my time was out ; and
tbfit has more th m three months be ore
her death. But tWi she was a g >"d
mother in her day, and toiled very hard
to breng us ‘Op.’
Without looking at the face of the
heartless man, we directed him to the
house of a neighboring pastor, and re
lumed to our nursery. We gazed on
the merry little faces, which smiled or
grew sad in imitation of ours—those lit*
t>e one#, to whose ear no word in our
language is half so sweet as ‘mother,’
and wondered if that day would ever
cmne when they would saV rtf us ’She

6tr<mg man’s words, ‘She was a good

When the bed ceased tolling, the twin
ister rose in the pulpit. Bis form was
very erect, and his voice strong, but his
hair was silvery white. After appropri
ate introductory services—in the etmise
of his address, he leaned oVt'f the desk,
and gazing intently on the coffined lorm
before him, said reverently :—‘From a
little child I have honored the aged, but
never till the gray hairs covered my
own head, did I know truly Uow much
love and symp ith tliih class "have a right
to derftand of their fellow creatures.—
Our mother,’ he added most tenderly,
‘who how lies in death before us, was a
stranger to me, as are all of these, her
descendants. -All I know erf her is what
her son has told, me to-day—that she
wan brought to this town from afar, six

Never, never ; a mother cannot live so

forth by her helplessness all the noble,

Filins with a Beardless Hook-
Scum- months ago, business led me
to an out-of-the-way place where, near
by a fall of water, there lived two boys,
one eight ami lire 'other tVo. They
were bright-eyed, inquisitive little chaps,
but generally wit bout cither hat or
shoes, iibd 'often win. puntfc and juckets
sadly rent.
Busied «.« C ’X’as in the repairs* of an
Aid null, these boys were handy to send
on errands, bring tools, look after my
horses turned out to bait in tlretf road,
and do numberless little things to 6uVe
the steps t.f those w ho were older.
One day, mi reaching the mill, I saw
the oldest b..y standing upon a rock,
partly hidden by the lwlingo of the sur
lounding trees, fishing, and as often as
lie felt a nibble lie would jerk his line as
hoitefully out of Hie water as though he
bore the litlle fish some terrible grudge,
and wanted to pay it by I witching the r
heads off. I asked him why he did so,
and explained as well us I was able the
best modes of taking such fidi us made
tin* liHle btook their home.
Allot boating me patiently and re
spftvlfully he said : ‘Mister, you fish
with a h*itk that has got a beard on it,
and when you hook one he stays My
hook ha* n’t got shv beard, tt is an old
broken nite fttitt Liger ‘tVeen g ive me.
I huin’t g*t any money to buy anew
one. Mother wants the petiii;eft you

twitch ’em when they bite, <>r they will
witfgle off, arid 1 shall lose Vtft ’
I liked tlie talk of tfiAt boy. He did
not grumble about his old hook, but did
tin* best he could #llll what he had to
do with; and <i-ty alter day, as I sail'
him doing, and taking t*> tiis mother thb
reward of his toil, which had cost so
much est re. and thought, and Skill; I
knew that he was laying, with iHAt al
der rod in his hands the foundations of
a grand character.
This is the #ay Horace Greeley be
gan. He fi.lied awhile with a beard
less hook. His father was very poor,
Urid bad Scarcely any books, and what
he had he was obliged to bead by tlie
dim light of pine-knots, which his own
forethought Had gaihercd ; but he is
now one of the ablest writers, as well
ds bile of tlie most influential men in
America:
And so with John Jacob Astor. He
had no money, or comparatively none,
when lie came to this country, but he
wuiiitcd tti trade, lie carried his
little bundle o! goods around und-u‘ bi
arms or in his hands. He fished with ft
lleardli-Ss hook. Afterwards lie bought
furs, and theta on his buck hun
dreds of miles to market, and w hen he
died he had grown from absolute pov
erty to be the richest man in the conn-
There is scarcely a great man or a
good man on tins side of the Atlantic
that did not have a tough time in his
boyhood; did not fish for awhile with a
beardless hook : and of all the boys
now in the country, those only will ar
rive at eminence who do the best they
can with what they have to do with ;

euTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1876.
The lawyers and th« Cats.
Two Arkansas lawyers was domesti
cated tfi the rude hotel of a country
town. The hotel vat Crowded, and
the room allotted to our two heroes was
Also occupied by six or eight others.—
Shake down beds, enough to accommo
date the guests, were disposed about
the room, against the four walls, leaving
an open space in the ceutVe of the apart
ment.
Judge OFark lay with his bead to the
north, on one side, and Judge Thomas
lay with bis head td ‘the hotrthf. oft the
other side oT the room. So far as the
room Wak c'dneorned, it might be said
that their heads represented the north
and south poles, respectively.
All the other beds in the rdorfl ftrore
Viivupietl. The central part *»f the
room was deemed neutral ground, in
which the Occupants Os ttie different
beds had equal rights, ft ere, in pic
turesque confusion, lay the boots, hat*
coats and breeches of the (deeper*.—
There were no windows, and though
the door was open, there being no moon,
tftft flight Was Very dark in that room.
The wily lawyers, who had been op*
posing 'counsel in a case tried in the
town court that day, and had opposed
each other ftdth the cftttlftmacity of wild
pigs, were now the very incarnation of
meekness, for when thft hiingfy ft warm
of inosquitoek Aettk-d down atld bit
them on the otie cbeek, they slowly
turned the other to be bitten ijso;
‘But hush ! hark 1’
A deep sound strikes the ear )ik4 a
rising knell !
! Ye*owow !’
Judge (.’lark and Thomas, were wide
awake, and sitting boll upright in au
instant.
Again the starting cry !
‘Ye-ow-yeow 1’
‘There’s a d—d cat 1’ whispered Clark.
‘Scat, you !’ hissed Thomas.
Cat p lid n > attention to these domon
strntions, but gave vent to another
yowl.
*O, Lord 1’ cried Clark, ‘I can’t stand
this ! Where is she, Thomas ?’
‘On y air side of the room somewhere,’
replied Thomas.
‘O. she’s on y*uir side,’ said Clark.
‘Ye.ow-nw-ifiv !’
’There, 1 told you she was on your
side,’ they both exclaimed in a breath.
And Mill th* ‘yowl’ Went dft*.
The id ea ftd*V entered the heads of
laitli the lawyers, that by the exercis#
of certain strategy thej" might b'e ena
bled to execute a certain flank move
ment on the cat, and totally demoralize
him. Practically each determin-d to
file 4 it iftolbVn to qfiosh’ the cats at
taohment. for that rooift.
Each kept his plan to himself, and in
dark, unable to see each othifr, prepar
ed lor action.
Strange as it may appear it is never
theless true, tha the same plan sugges
ted itself to both. In WordS, ihe plan
would be about as follows:
The vowler is evidently looking «nd
calling for another cat, with whom he
has made an appointment. I will imi
tate a cat, and thin cat wiil think t’oth
er cat’s around. This cat will come to
ward mr, and when ho shall have ar
rived within reach, I’ll blaze iiwuV with
anything 1 can get hold of and knock
the mew-sic out of him.
So each of the portly judges, noise
lessly as cream comes to the surface of
the milk, hoisted himself onto his hands
and knees, and, hippopotamus fashion
advanced to the neutial ground occu
pying the central portion of the room.
Arrived there, Judge*Clurk selected
a boot jack, and Judge Thomas a heavy
cowhide lv*ot, from the heap, and set
tled themselves down to the work,
Ulafk tightened his grip on the boot
jack, hiS head, gave vent
to a prolonged and unearthly ‘Ye.ow-ow!’
that would reflect credit upon ten of
the largest kind «i]T cats:
‘Aha’thought Thomas, who was not
six.feet away, ‘he’s immediately close
around. Now I’ll inveigle him ! and fie
gate tfifi regular dark night call t.f a
feminine cat.
.Each of the Judges now advanced a
questioning ‘(3w !ow !*
ThomaS answered by a re-assnriti J
‘Pur-wo ! pur !’ and they advanced a
little closer, and Chirk produced a ques
tioning‘Ow ! ow !’
Thomas answered by a re-assuring
‘Pitrow! plir!’add they advanced ft
little more.
They were now within easy reach,,
iind bach iiiiagirfirig the cHt had but a
moment more to live, whaled away, the
onp with his boot, the other with his

The boot took Clark square in the

Reifulatlou ot Marriage la
China.
Marriage, which forms the basis of
domestic life, has been «aref<aHy And
minutely regulated by 'Chinese legisla
tion; afid ft is deeply imiwessed with
the eharaetir of domestic tyranny that
is found in Itie manners of all nations
placed oftt of the influence of Christiani
ty. in speaking of the rites and cere
monies observed in the celebration of
marriage, have alluded b* the dwftfiotfft
auth«*rity oY parents over their children ;
thfts it is not the future wedded pair,
hut their respective ftmifies who m ike
the fi'st advance*, fix the wedding
presents, arrange the articles of the con
tract, etc. All thebe prelitftinaries are
adjusted through the intervention of
third persons, who serve as g-> list weeds,
and haggls-about the price of the mar
riageable merchandise. When the bar
gain is concluded, th# parties are affi
anced. If either lamiiy attei re
fuse to ratify the contract, its chief is
condemned to receive fifty strokes with
the bamboo, and the marriage is order
ed ttt tiike place. In cases where there
has been no contract, the acceptance of
the presents is considered as sufficient
evidence of the consent of the contract
ing pard'eS".
It is thus easy to conclude a marriage
Mtftotit at all consulting the persons
most interested, bfit this is oftly the tftse
with the first marriage. The father of
a family caftrtot cotftpe! a Bon who has
befirinie ft Widower to marry a second
time, under penalty of eight strokes of
the baittbdo.
If between the betrothed ftrtd the Car
riage the relations of the bride promise
her hand to another, the head of the
family receives seventy stroked, dr eigh
ty, if she had been already presented
and approved. He who should accept a
promise <»f marriage, knowing that ne
gotation* wero begun with another,
would also receive eighty blows; but
iu cases whore either party can be
proved to have been guilty of theft or
adultery, the contract becomes null and
▼•• id.
Th® Chinese law points out certain
circumstances as obstacles to the forma
tion of an alliance. Tht-re are absolute
hindrances, or mere retaliatory obsta
cles. It is forbidden to marry during
fhd-liltte fixed bv law lor the mom fling
Viffl father,a mother, dr ft husband. A
marriage contracted nnuer these circum
stances is not only declared null, but
punished by a hundred strokes of the
bamboo.
Th»* marriage contracted during ths
inouning fdr a grandfather or grand
mother, an undo or an aunt, an elder
brother or elder eister, remain# vftfid,
but Vs 'punished, nevertheless, by eighty
blows. A widow who has YeceiVed
frotfi tbe Emperor afly distinction of
rank during the life of her husband, is
punished by a hundred strokes if she
marry again, besides being degraded
from her rank, and separated from her
flew hu*b;lfid. i
M an iages cmVtrAefcd between persons
bearing the same family name, with any
one concealing hun-elf on ace *iirtt of
some cVbfle, d> #lth actors or musicians,
are io themselves ntili and void, and the
delinquents are punished by a certain
number »Vs strokes of the lufflboo.
One of the cohseqiifinceft of the man
ner in which marriages are made in
China is the divorce, not merely for de
terminate causes?', Idit by uiutihil edn*
sent. It seems natural enough that
persons who have been married without
lieing consulted, sfiotild hove at thfi
permission to separate if they can not
agree. The husband may repudiate hi*
lawful wife for tlie foliowing catlftes,
some of which appear rather whimsical:
sterility, immorality, contempt of the
husband’s father and m >ther, propensi
ty to slander or to theft, a jealous tem
per, or habitual ilf-health.

Later in the evening the Old Qiwker
Went the rounds of his mansion;
afuiitkrri in hand; as Was his wnt, to see
that all was safe, tu-fore retiring for the
night. As he passed the dc*or of the
hide chamber where the poor wander
ing orphan bad been 1 placed to lie
heard a Voice. He stopped and listen,
ed, and distingirtif/ed the tones of a situ*
pl« Varocet prayer. LU bent his ear
nearer, and heard thefifi Wcfrds from the
boy’s lips :
‘Oh, good Father in heaven! help
me td help tftyseff. Watch over me as
I watch over my own conduct, and care
for m<- as my de’eTs feerit 1 Bless the
gOod man Isl whose house I am shelter
ed for the night, and spars him long,
that he may continue his bouaty to oth
er suffering ones. Amen.’
And the Quaker responded another
amen as he moved on ; and as he went
he meditated. The boy had a true idea
of the duties of life, aud possessed a
warifl, g'f-ftTiffnl heftrt.
‘I verily think tfut the will boa
treasure to his employed, '* was the con
eluding refl -otion.
When the rfl'»m'ifg Qua.

Friend L*
*Jpy nSothcr, Mir,’ was the soft reply.—

‘And thee will not forget thy mother’s

‘I cannot, for I know that my success
in life is dependent upon them.’
‘My boy, thee muyest stay here in
my house, and very srx>n I will take
tfle to ffiy offije. Go now and get thy
breakfast.’
Friend L. was gathered to the spirit
hftrVeit shortly after the breaking out of
the war; but he lived to see the poor
boy he had adopted rise step by step
until he finally assumed the responsible
office which the failing guardian edflU
no longer hold. And to-day there is

Ned Wright.
This person, a reformed London thief,
is thus spoken of in an int* resting article
in the Philadelphia Ledger, viz:—He
was once a rowdy of the lowest class
He was a thief and pickpocket, and
served several terms in different prisons
for his uilfering propensities. He was
a sailor in the Royal Navy, and was
flogged fire desertion. He was also a
professional prize fighter, and at the
time of his conversion was under an en
gagement to fight. Thfi first act of his
alter the change of heart sarrte over him
was to throw up his engagement, which
so exasperated his backers and trainers
that he narrowly escaped severe ill
treatment. The account Wright gives
of Ids cbnver&irtn tft deeply Interi-eting
it occurred *uddenly, at a religious ser
vice held at Astley’g Theatre, near
Westminster Bridge, sbdiSt ink years
ago, but ft is fair tri give much of the
credit df It so thfi influence of his wife
who seems to have been a true friend,
to him, and to have adhered to him with
unshaken constancy. After his conver
sion he forsook his old haunts and com
munions and was without work for thir
teen weeks, during which time his wife
and children suffered thq extreme of
poverty. On the lust day his wife had
divided her remaining piece of hard, dry
bread between their two children, aud
they were sitting opposite to each'other
contemplating their future iA blank des
pair. Tlie thought occurred to \\ right
to go out and steal ; this brought the
tears to his eyes> but his wife encour
aged him to Hold out against the temp
tation, saying that ‘A crtlst with Christ
was better thafi the whole world without
Him.’ Her faith was rewarded almost
on the instant, for a friend called w.th
the good lie As libit fie Had got work
for him. Ned turned to it like a man,
and to use his o«n words, ‘be has nev
er wanted ft pound fibicii.’ But fie has
done more, for he Ha h Iried to restdrft to
industry and a good lile the poor out
casts with whom he formerly associa.

and given them the history of his own'
degradation and of his escape from it,
pointing out to them the iVay which is
open to them all to do the like; and urg

as a moral one, by turning to hdlifist

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.
“The liTe of the fl ish is in the Blood," is n
Scriptural msxi-n that science proves to b
trne. The people talk of bid blood, as th
cause of many di»<*a-ies, and like many, popu
lar ejSniofts this of bid blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are nsuslly
qui-e plain—bad Digestiou —causes i-nperfect
nutrition, and consequently the circulation is
f -eble. the soft, t-ssu s loose their tone and
elasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, btoad,
and frequently covered with a nasty, white
coat. Tiis condition soon shows_ ijseff ,iu
roughness of the skin, then in fit fcptive aiui
ulc--ra*iva diseases find when lolie continued,
resiilti in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver,
Lungs, or urina-y apparatus. Much, very
mu-*h. suffering is caused by i-npure blood It
is es'.jmqted by some that t!*e hu
man family are effected with sciofula in some
form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so lia
file to Hay disease. Many iirfpuritiea of the
Biooa arise fr<-m impure discuses of large cit
ies. Eradicate every imp inly from the foini
taitrof life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital
strength will return to yoft.
