There is noth ing quite like it in this world of ours —nothing so morally beautiful: a self fed, self sustaining love, which can traverse wide deserts* and, like the camel, keep itself alive' upon its little hoards of remembered joy, when all other love 'fails —the one human love that spends itself whol ,ly upon its objects, and the roots of which even ingratitude cannot 'en tirely kill. But, when returned, as tu some measure it mostly will be, to what strength '.and .beauty of self-sacrifice will" it not grow ! —yet, under any eircitinstances, chiefly a sorrow-hearing love, of which the j ys are cares, the du',;- - are lnflie 'tion? f>t pain upon itself, th& pride nourished to lie bestowed else where, and the fondest gain is the sorest loss.

Many' years ago, there lived in a beautiful little country town in North Alabama, a genial, warm hearted old gentleman, Judge K—, well-known throughout the State as well for his distinguished ability as his marked generosity and con geniality'. Among his chattel pos sessions was a negro named Jack, as he was more familiarly known as u.ncle Jack, and there never lived a more provoking old darkey; for Uncle Jack, although a favorite, had many weaknesses, and among others he was particularly regard less of truth, to such an extent ip fact that occasionally the go<sd old judge found it necessary to punish him. It was the‘custom in those days for the town constable to ad minister a flogging for a consider ation, whenever the master was dis inclined to officiate, and the consta ble of this particular town had a se vere , reputation for proficiency among' the darkies who had now and.then been so unfortunate as to come.under his hands. Jack,'although lie had never been there, was well posted, and had a great legpugaance to massa G , who was tiie incumbent at that lime. One one occasion, during the clnistmas days, while the old • Judge was quite severely indis posed, Uncle Jack had been guilty of a misdemeanor, and punishment was deemed nccesssary,. ■ so the Judge wrote a note to the consta ble about as follows : Mr. G: : Please give the bearer thirty-nine lashes and Charge it to me. Galling oM Urn le Jack, the Judge ordered him to carry the note to G—, who would give him a grub bing hoe. Jack started off up town but his suspicions were arous ed. He couldn’t understand what the'Judge wanted with a grubbing . hoe at Christmas time, and--his con science was not as clear as it should have been. The result of his sus picion was that the truth suddenly flashed upon him—lie was to be whipped. Seeing a school boy ap proaching, he took out the note and said : “ Massa Bob, what’s in dis note ? Gut so many dis mornin’’ I got ’em mixed.” The boy read the note and ex plained its contents 'to Jack, who whistled and laughed to himself as a bright idea struck him. Calling to a negro boy. who-was neat, Jack said : “ does'you want to make a quarter?”’ “ Os course I does.’ s % “ Well, take dis noßj down to .Massa G- an’ git a grubbin hoe, and I wait here ’till you comes back, an’ -den I gives you a quarter. The boy hurried oft" to accom plish his errand, and in due course delivered the note to G , who took him in the, yard, locked the gate, and proceeded, despite the boys protestations of iuuocence, to administer the desired flogging, while Jack hurried offhome, chuck ling over the happy result of what might have been serious business for him. That evening, the Judge called, him up, aud enquired : “ Jack, did you get the grub .bing hoe ?” “No, massa; -I give a boy a quarter to fotch uat note to Massa G , and I ’spect he got dat hoe.” Small Farms.— Ou the subject of “ Small Farms,” the Albany Cen tral City makes these very sensi ble remaks: "But a reform must take place in our planting operations, which the experience of the past few years clearly proves to have become a ne cessity Our large plantations can not be successfully cultivated with free labor. The experiment lias fail ed signally, after the most thor ough trial by men of- capacity and experience. Our planters must be come farmers, and all our large bod ies of productive lands cut up into small “ places,” supplied with nec essary buildings and improvements, and suited to the reduced means aud limited circumstances of- the people. A thousand acres of land should be occupied by ten or more tenants, whose character, reliability and thrift are known. The American Colonization Socie ty has sent out 200 colored emi grants to Liberia—most of them from Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. Atlanta Revenue Officials are seizing unstamped Cologne bottles, in that city. Sixty colored emigrants from Hancock county to Liberia* Farming Reliable as a Business. Farming is, without doubt, the surest occupation there is. Farm ers may not grow rich, but they al ways manage to get a living for themselves and family, which is more than can be said of any other pursuit. Tifev may grow rich in this as in any other pursuit accord ing to the degree of intelligence and industry brought to bear. If you desire to see the sutcoss of your children rendered sare in life, educate them for the farm. But this word educate { has a deep sig nification here; it is the want of this that makes farm life generally so dull, and the attainment of great wealth by farming so rare. There is no occupation of life that will re pay intelligence, thought aud study better than agriculture will, and it is because intelligence, litis so little to do With the general binning oper ations that it is so unattractive to young men, aud leads'the'm to. for sake it for the professions, or other more intellectual pursuits. In duce your children to take an inter est in the farm, in their implements, and in the stock. Tell them ail your plans and the history of your success and failures; tel! them your own history as a boy, but don’t harp too much on the degenerate character of the young men of-the present age. Praise • them when you can, and encourage them to do still better. • Give each one a calf or a coit to raise, or a small patch of grain to cultivate on his own .ac count. But above all let them study chemistry, and the laws of breeding m stock. Light your homes brilliantly in the evening with kerosene, and provide plenty of agricultural reading, encourage your children to dress up in the ev.e ning, and encourage your neigh bors to drop in, anif then talk agri culture—the importance of large crops, good stock, liberal feeding, judicious crossing, the advantages of keeping animals comfortable, ju dicious rotation of crops, the chem ical properties of manure, etc., rath er than grumble about hard times aud the price of wages- In this way you may make burning an in tellectual pursuit, and whatever has intelligence in it will be attractive. Value of Pictures in Rooms A room with pictures jn it, and a room without pictures, differ as "much* as a room with windows. Nothing we-think is more melan choly, particularly to a person who has to pass much tune in his room, than blank walls; for pictures are loopholes of escape to his soul, leading it to scenes and other spheres. It is sruoh an inexpressi ble relief to a person- engaged in writing or even reading, on looking up, to find his soul escaping as it were, through the frame of an ex quisite picture, to other beautiful and perhaps .Idyllic scenes, where the fancy for a moment may revel, refreshed and delighted. Is it win ter in your world? Perhaps it is summer in the picture; what a charming momentary change and contrast ! And these pictures are consolers of loneliness; they are the sweet flattery to the soul; they are a relief to the jaded mind ;• they are windows to the imprisoned thought; they are books,; they are -histories and sermons which we can read without tire trouble of turning over the leaves. Any business man of Detroit who doubts that advertising pays, is referred to the case of a man on Woodward Avenue. He advertis ed last Sunday for a lady compan ion for his wife, and -within three days iiis mother-in-law and lier four daughters arrived, and have made preparations to remain all winter. But for that advertisement his house might have been as lonesome, as a grave-yard all winter.— Detroit Free Press. A liltle girl wanting a fan, but not being able to remember the word, said slie “ wanted -a tiling to brush the hot off with.” A Danbury, shoe-maker went off hunting Monday, well supplied with ammunition, and walked around all day without securing any game. HG lack of luck is supposed to be due to the fact .that he had no gun with him. Being absent-minded he had forgotten to take it. A lady asked a gentleman who was suffering from influenza, “ My dear sir, what do you use for your cold ! ” “ Five handkerchiefs a day, madam.” Earthquakes have been felt re cently in New Hampshire. Ass Item loe the Home Cir cle. Somebody says, and truly, that there aro few families, anywhere in which love is not’abused as furnish ing the license for impoliteness. • A husband, father, or brother will speak harsh words to those.he loves best simply' because the secrecy of. love and family pride keep him from getting his- head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely .at times to .his wife or sister than be would to any other woman, excepVa low, vicious one. It is thus that the honest affections of a man’s nature prove so be a weaker protection to a woman in a family circle than-the restraints of society', and that a woman is usual ly indebted for the kindest polite ness of life to those not belonging to her own household. These things ought not to be so. The man who, because it will not be resettled inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his h.earthstone, is a small coward and a very mean man. Kind words are circulating medi ums between true gentlemen aud ladies at home, and no polish ex hibited m society can atone for the harsh language and disrespectful treatment too often indulged in be tween those bound together by Qod’s own ties of blood, and the most sacred bonds of conjugal love. lt is said that Sir Walter Cam bell, who was lately' in a mercantile firm in New York, wished to mar ry an American young lady ot good position ili the Empire State. Up on his applying to the young lady’s father, the parent stated that he al ways referred'all those questions to his wife. The mother, in lter turn, stated that she must refer to the Duke of‘Argyll. The Duke .pleaded that, considering his connection with royalty, he must consult his oldest sort. The Marquis could do nothing without the Queen’s consent. Her Majesty, felt that.the issuo must \x* referred to the Duke of Saxe-Cob ourg-Gotlia, as head of the family. The Duke rejoined that, since the recent changes in Germany,he look ed upon the Emperor William as his'sovereign, and* must bow to his advice. The Emperor said lie could do nothing without Bismarck’s opin ion,and Prince Bismarck declared he had no opinion at all,one way or the oth'er; and so the question—to mar ry or not to marry —was brought to a dead lock..—iY.

Air. .John Sims, a school teacher near Ball Ground, Cherokee county, one t]ay last week, while hearing a recitation, differed with a young la dv as to the correctness-of spelling a word. Each persistently insisted that the other was in error. ' The young lady’s brother, Air. David Darby, learned of the difference of opinion, and visited the school teacher, and in an encounter put him to flight: At a corn-shucking that night at Airs. Carpenter’s a large crowd assembled, aud among them Mr. Darby, who was seated in the house telling how ho made the school teacher run that morning. Air. S.-about this time stepped in and overheard the remark, and said, “ Yes, I did ran, but I’ll not do it again.” Mr. Darby then started towards him, and as he did so Air.

The witness under ex amination was a German, whose knowledge of the English language was vcf y limited ; but he testified in a very- plain, straightforward way r having.afterwards carried it out and put it into the aforeside wagon. ' Then the following ensued: Counsellor Enos—“ State" to the jury how long it was after you took the meat from the store and put it into the wagon before it was taked away.” Witness—‘‘Now I shoots cand dell dat. I dinks boutdwelve feet. I not'say nearer as dat.” Counsel—“Youdon’t understand mo, llow long was it froffi the meat left the store, and was put in to the wagon, before it was taken away by the defendant ?” Witness—“ Now I know not what for you ax dat. Der vagon he vas back up mit der sidevalk and dat’s shoost so long as it vas. You dell me how long der sidevalk vas. Den feet? Dvvelve feet? Den I dells you how long it vas.” Counsel—“l clont want to find out how. wide the sidevalk was, but I want to know” (speaking very slow ly) “how —long—the—meat— w r as —in the—wagon —before—it —was —taken—away” Witness—“Oh 1 dat! Veil, now 1 not sold any meat so. I all time weigh him; never measured meat not yet. .But I dinks bout dree j'eet.” (Here the spectators'and his honor and the jury smiled audibly.) “I know not, shentlemens, how is dish. 1 deli you all I can, so good as I know.” Counsel—“ Look here. —I want, to know' how long it was before the meat was taken aw r ay after it was pat into the wagon ?” Witness (looking very knowingly at counsel) —“Now' you try and get me 'in a. scrape. Dat meat vas shoost so long in der vagon as lie vas in dei shop. Dat’s all I tell you. Dat meat vas dead meat. He don’t got much longer in den dousan year, not mooch.” Counsel —“That will do.” True.— “Why don’t you trade with me ?” said a close-fisted tradesman to a friend the other day. • The reply was characteristic: “You have never asked me, sir. I have looked all through the papers for an invitation in the shape of an advertisement, and found none. I never'go where lam not invited.” An English physician, with a de sire to be of- benefit to the rising generation, lias published some in teresting facts regarding the effects of tobacco smoking upon- boys.— Os thirty-eight boys under fifteen years of age, w’hora he knew to be smokers he discoVv.*ed twenty-two injurious traces of the habit. Twen ty-two bad disorders of the circula tion and digestion, palpitation of the heart, and a more or less taste for strong drink. Twelve were troub led with hemorrhage at the nose, and an equal number had slight ulceration of the mucous mem brauce of the mouth. These symp toms were all mitigated and in some cases eradicated by T a discontinu ance of the hgbit of smking. AL though all were trailed for the above named disorders, only those were ' cured who abandoned the habit.— Persons w'ho have the care' of boys will do well to keep these state ments, made on the authority of the British Aiedical Journal, well in mind. The Warm Bath for Children. —A physician in a very sensible article upon bathing says: “ For the wind in the stomach children are thought to have, for their tire some crying and for the restless' •ness and worrying at* night with which they are afflicted, if the warm bath were resorted tooftener and worse nostrems less it would be better for the children.” . , B> A western widow is after the enterprising typhographer who, when she advertised for an agent, made her appear to want “ a gent.” He’s the gent she wants, ora lock of his hair at least. NO 48. Mow Raf lit'Mara:£e:4 A writer in; “ Chamber’s Jour nal” contradicts a uopular belief as to the manner in which’ snakes bite and inject their poison. Me says: “ I can only speak for the rattle snake. It is true, with every other venomous reptile the orthodox'ac counts may be correct, but the rat .tlesnake does not send its poison through its fangs. It is always said that, the two fangs, which an swer somewhat to the harp an ‘eye teeth,” are hollow and perforated at the bottom, and that the poison flow-s from the reservoir through this canal to the point of the fang, and thence into the wound. The fangs is certainly hol low, but the point is solid, and the poison bag, to use a very homely simile may be compared in its po sition to a gum boil; when the ani mal-strikes the pressure instantly cause a drop of venom to run down outside the tooth into the puncture. “ I dare say this will be contro verted, and I therefore at once give an authority to be referred to. Mr. W. R. Morley chief surveyor of the North and South and United States Gentral Railways, running through' Colorado and New Mexico’, is a skillful "naturalist, who has kill ed several hundred of these reptiles and has carefully' examined ’ben* and has made them bite when in a position to watch them, and lie can speak from more experience than almost any living man, that the poi son is injected in the manner de scribed. This accounts for the fact that rattlesnake bites are some times harmless when the sufferer is bitten through cloth ; the poison is absorbed by the material, and never finds its way into the flesh at all. Our father . A good woman, searching out the children of want, ono cold day last winter, tried to open a door in the third story of a wretched house when she heard a little voice say, “Pull thestrirg up and saw a string which on being-pulled, lifted a latch ; and she opened the door upon two half naked children, all alone. Yery cold and pitiful they looked. “Do you take care of yourselves little ones?” askek the woman. “God takes care of,” ns,” said the oldest. And are you not very cold?
