Lines Written on Parting with an Only Brother for the First Time. The following beautiful lines were published in a neighboring State some years since. We reproduce them as their beautiful sentiments will meet with a sympathetic re sponse within the breast of many ol our readers: O! farewell brother, ere you go upon the rugged way, To stem the tide of human strife—to struggle day by day ; A long, perhaps a last, adieu—O bitter, part ing knell, But late has so decreed k i 80 brother fare tbe well. You launch yon 1 bark upon the wave where storms and tempests sweep, And close beneath the sparkling waves, the dark aud treacherous deep, And though, perchance, you press the cup of pleasure to your lips, Yet anguish, following in iia train, may reach you ere you eip. The luring world to thee looks bright—no cloud it now reveals— But, oh, remember, many a thorn the fragrant rose conceals ; And should you find the toilsome path of life deny you rest, Be not desponding--life is but a troubled scene at best. Would that we coil’d recall the hours we spent in childhood’s day, While gamboling through the wild green wood, or sporting at our play ; But, idle dreams, away, away, ’tis past, for ever past— Thus everything we love in life, is torn from us at last. But. often as the sun shall sink, behind the purple hill. So oft the cherished absent one my every thought shall fill ; And when I hear the huntsmans gun re-echo o’er tbe lea. Or list his mellow, winding horn, ’twill bring thee back to me. Oft wilt thou be remembered, too, at evening, when we meet Around the cheerful fireside, and view the vacant seat ; A shade will steal o’er every brow—each eye gleam with a tear. To know that thou art with strangers now— to know thou art not here. Farewell, then brother, since you go to min gle with the tide, Wherein grim disappointment lurks, and blighted hopes abide ; You go, yon go. mid vain regrets, in other lands to dwell ; May roses ever 6t:ew thy path— O, brother, fare-thee-well !

The butter thus made sells at from sixteen to twenty eight cents a pound wholesale. “ Mary ” wrote to her “ Dear John” to “Coipet afpastate,” CUTHBERT, GA., FRIDAY, JAN. 15, 1875. MABEL CLIFTON’S REWARD. A Yew Year’s Story. BY FRANCIS HKXSHAW BADEN. Mabel Clifton sat before one of the windows of her father’s magnif icent mansion. A servant stood in wailing. She was making out a list of articles wanted for the next day. Coming footsteps arrested her attention. She raised her eyes from the paper and looked out.— The crimson flush deepened on her bright young face, as “ Oh !” in a tone of deep regret, escaped her lips. “ John lam not ready to finish this list and shall not send for an hour yet. If you have anything else to attend to go and do it.” Mr. Clifton had been reading in a distant part of the room. Hearing the door close after John’s ure, he asked : “ You have not forgotten to send for those wines I spoke of, my dear?” “ He has not gone yet, papa.” “ Ah, well, do not make it too late. They will be very busy to night,” her father said, turning again to his paper. “ Papa !” “ Well, my dear ?” “A boon, papa. Promise to grant me, this last day of the year, my boon.” “ What is it, love ?” “ Promise to grant it first.” “Not in ignorance, my child.” “ Trust me, father.” She had an earnest, eager, noble look in her eyes that her father did trust in, and he promised her. “ Well, well; you shall have your way.” “ Father, let us have no wine to*- morrow.” “ What! No, no ; I cannot grant you that. No wines! why, child, have you gone crazy ? For twenty five years past I have offered my friends wines on New Year’s day, and never have felt that I was do. ing anything wrong. What has come over you ?” “ Oh, father, I have never felt just right when offering young men wine; and just now when I was making out the order for John, I chanced to raise my eyes just as Ed gar Livingston was passing. I needed but a glance to see that he was very much under the influence of wine. Father, his mother is a widow ; he her only child. Ail her earthly hopes are in him. Will they not be wrecked, think you, if he indulges in the wine cup ?” To morrow he will make many calls.— Beautiful women will offer him wine. He will not have the courage, possibly the wish to decline. morrow night most likely then, he will return home to fill his mothei’s heart with sorrow. I wish not to contribute one drop to that bitter CUD.” “My dear, whether we have wines or not, with him, it will be all the same, as you say he will make many calls.” “ Father, if you had a son, you would feel differently. Think how many youug men of the brightest promise have tailed, nay, worse, won truly disgrace and early graves from the love of wine. “ I feel as if Edgar Livingston stood on the brink of a fearful prec ipice. Father, stretch forth your strong arm and draw him back—if only one step, and for a moment.— If we do not save him, it will be a comfort to think we urged him not forward on his fatal course.” “Mabel, you are deeply interested in the youDg man. Am I to con clude —” “ Nothing more than tor his own and his mother’s sake. I would en deavor to save him,'or any other young man in his danger, father. Here will be one of his first calls.— Probably I can detain him long enough to prevent bis visiting other places where he would be exposed to great temptations. Oh, father, grant me this ?” “ Really dear, I feel disposed to do as you wish, but so many will be very much disappointed. Besides, I have not the courage to make this great change, and set five hundred tongues to work speculating about the cause of it. Some will declare I’m about to fail; others that I have grown penurious. Ah, what is it, John ?” Just then tho servant entered and handed him an envelope, saying : “ A telegram, sir.” Mr. Clifford tore it quickly open, read it and exclaimed : “ Really, this is too bad ! But I must go. here !” And hasti ly writing a few words for a return dispatch, he handed it to the ser vant, and turning to Mabel said : “ My old friend Hartwell is dying and begs that I will hasten to him. I cannot deny him. So you will have to entertain my friends to-morrow, and explain the reason of my fail ing to see them, the first time for so many years. And—well, dear, you can do as you choose about the bill of fare. As I shall not be at home the folks will not hold me responsi ble for what happens iu my absence.” “ Oh thank you, papa, for permis sion to do as I choose. I will wil lingly take any unkind remarks, if auy one feels like making them.— But I feel confident that all who have sons will give me their kindest wishes for withholding temptation from their boys. And as to the young men, I shall try to make my self so agreeable, and have our cook to make the coffee so very fine, that they will go away quite as well pleased, and with their brains a good deal clearer, than if I had en tertained them with wines.” Au hour after, Mr. Clifton was on his way to his dyiDg friend. Mabel sat down and wrote : My Dear Flory : Come and help me receive our friends to mors row. Papa has been called away. I must l\ave you with me, as lam paiticularly anxious to have my re ception a success. Lovingly, Mabel. “ Edgar likes Flory, I can plains ly see, and I think she is not whol ly iudifferent toward him. Togeth er I think we can manage to keep him here to-morrow, and thus save his mother a great sorrow, most likely,” said Mabel. Mabel Clifton was one of the lov liest girls in P . Friends won dered that her heart had not yield ed to someone of her many suitors. They did not know she had no heart to yield to any of those who sought it. The first season she appeared in the select circle her father’s wealth and position placed her, she met Er nest Addison. He was a noble looking man, talented, with mind and heart alike filled with good,true resolves. To Mabel he had been very attentive, and she grew to love him, feeling sure the time was not far distant when he would come to tell her of his** love. But months rolled by, and he spoke not. Grad ually his visits grew less frequent, until they ceased. What it was that had come between his love and hers she could not think ; but she felt perfectly sure he did lovo her, and so, hoping that time would solve the mystery and bring a balm to her wounded spirit, she watched and waited for the coming. New year's day came beautiful and bright. Mabel and her friend Flory never looked lovlier. Mabel had explained her wishes and fully infused her own spirit into her fair friend. It was impossible for an indiffer ent person not to feel their powers of fascination. To Edgar Living ston, who was one of their first guests, they were quite irresistible, lie lingered on, notwithstanding the many efforts of a young friend who accompanied him to draw him away. “ Do stay and help us,” said Ma bel, and when Flory’s beautiful eyes repeated the wish, Edgar yielded. Few-, if any, went from Clifton house dissatisfied. Everything that heart, could desire or mind sug gest in the way of delicacies and luxuries of the season, Mabel offered her guests. But as her father had said, many tongues were busy spec ulating about it, and in a few hours it was widely known that Miss Clif ton was having a “ temperance re ceptiou.” Eagerly Mabel’s eyes sought the door on every new arrival! of guests. She had hoped for tho coming of one. But the hours passed, aud when it grew late in the day the hope faded and almost died out. She had seated herself wearily in an arm chair, when the same greeting that had fallen on her ears many times that day, “ Happy New Year, Miss Clifton,” caused the bright light to return to her eyes, the beau tiful flush to her face, as she rose to receive Ernest Addison. There was an expression in his fine eyes, when he recevied from her the fra grant cup of coffee that relieved the suspense of years. Her heart was bounding with new hope. Edgar Livingston had drawn Flory to the window. They were looking out on the passers-by. A few moments, and reeliug along the sidewalk, shouting and singing a drinking song, came Edgar’s com panion of tbe morning. Flory turned from the sickening sight. Edgar followed, saying: “ But for you and Miss Clifton I might have been of that party.” And going up to Mabel, he said : “ Miss Clifton, your slumbers to night should be peaceful. You have not helped to cloud either the brain or the heart of any of your friends to-day. Accept my warm est thanks for having saved me from feeling both.” Edgar saw an expression in Er nest’s eyes that made him think it would be quite as agreeable to all parties if he would' take Flory back to the recess of the window, to the piano or anywhere else out of hear ing just then. A few moments after, his voice was blended with hers in a well chosen duet. Then Ernest told Mabel of the love which had been hers since first he knew her. “ I came one night to lay my heart before you. You had many guests, and offered them wine. You noticed not that I placed my glass untouched on the table. I left ear ly. I dared not woo the heart of one who held such a fearful tempta tion before me; why you will know when I tell you the horrible truth. My only brother went down to a drunkard’s grave, the woman he loved urging him on. “ For a time mother and I had won him from his fatal passion, lie was doing well. We believed he would fulfill the bright promise of early youth. He grew to love a beautiful girl. She was wild aud thoughtless ; and one night, at a party in her father’s house, she urged him to drink. “ One glass. Every one but you takes wine,” she said. “He resisted. She taunted him about having to abstain entirely be cause he had not tho self-control to use wine in moderation. Ho yield accepted the latal glass from her hand, aud drank, first moderately, then on and on in the old way, until the end came—a ruined life, and a mother’s broken heart. “ Do you wonder that I fled from you ? Every hour since yearning to return, yet daring not.” To day I heard what you were doing, Eainsstly thanking God that light had dawned upon you, I hastened here to lay my heart be fore the only woman I ever loved. Will you be my w’ife, Mabel ?” Her heart was too full of joy— she could not tell him in words how happy she was ; but her little hand lay still in his. She raised her eyes a moment, and he saw the love of years beaming there. He needed no other answer. Judging from the low tone in which the voices in the other room had fallen, I think some other hearts had found their mates. But the pair had separated, or rather rejoin ed again, by the return of Mr. Clif ton, who entered, calling out : “ Mabel, my dear, to me these rooms look rather dark. Let’s havo the gas turned on, if you please.” “ Certainly, papa.” And when there was light enough for Mr. Clifton to look into his daughter’s eyes, he saw a brighter light shining there. Another mo ment, when Flory came to greet him, he said, with a sly smile. “ Ah, I see why you young folks knew nothing of the surrounding darkness guided by the light within. Well, haYe you had a pleas ant day ?” “ A happy day, father ; there are no regrets to steal in and mar it.” Mabel said, with a bright smile. “ I am glad of it—glad of your resolve, Mabel. How glad you will be I know when I tell you that this morning I closed the eyes of a lather whose son was away in some driuk ing saloon. How my fceart ached for that dying father ! And what a balm it was to think at that time my daughter was not holding the fatal glass to any young man,” said Mr. Clifton, his voice trembling with emotion. Before another New Years day Mabel and her friend each presided over an establishment of their own. The happy remembrance of their receptions is never clouded by the thought that they have added one drop to the cup of bitterness which so many wives, mothers aud sisters have to drink—that cup of sorrow which is often prepared for them by sister women. One of the saddest things about human nature is, that a man may guide others in the path of life without walking iu it himself ; that he may be a pilot, and yet a cast, a-wav, Tlie Grange—lts Objects and Its Benefits. At 3 recent installation of the of fleers of the New Hampshire state grange, an excellent address was delivered by Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, from which we extract tho follow ing paragraphs concerning the ob jects and benefits of the grange : The founders, seeing how much cooperation and concentration were doing for every other associa tion, conceived the idea that the same co-operative principle might be employed lor the benefit of tbe farming class; and the people for whose benefit it was conceived saw that it was good, aud took hold of it in earnest. One great object of the grange is to elevate tlie farmers. From the nature of their calling they are much isolated, and this isolation tends to make them unsocial and selfish. Tho farmer’s wife never goes anywhere, because her husband cannot find time or disposition to go with her and she becomes unsocial and selfish also. This is character istic of the farming community from Maine to Texas. Iu the grange they are brought together, and their sqcial natures are develop ed and elevated. He had beon in ruauy states, but he had found none where the farmer and his wife did not find time to go to the grange after they bad once entered. Theu the grange is an educating power. He believed it required more mind, thought, energy, to make a successful farmer, than any other evocation in life. This is an age of progress, and tho man who stands still and don’t study to im prove, will go backward. Farm ing must be studied. Agriculture is large science, and the more we study it the larger the field spreads out before us. To boa true farm er, a mau should study to prepare himself as much as for any of the professions. In the grange the lat ent intelligence of the farmer is brought out, and each can learn of the other some new idea or method. Two heads are better than one. Not only does the grange improve him educationally and socially, but morally. The farmer ought above all others, to be a Christian. His avocation should peculiarly lead him to look through nature up to nature’s God. The granger makes him charitable. Retelling to the secrecy of the order, he said it was that which ‘gave it cohesion and permanency. In all trades and professions there is a degree of secrecy, and the most successful man is who keeps his plaus to himself. In the grange there is just enough secret to make it attractive. The grange also does what no par ty or organization has done, unites the people of all parts of the coun try. It says to every man m the union : “Come in, and I’ll give you the hand of friendship.” It knows no north, no south, no east, no west. It bridges the bloody chasm which has divided the different sections. Tlie constitution of the grange prohibits the discussion of religion and politics, and neither political nor religious tests for membership are allowed. Y r et this means to ex clude only sectarianism aud partis anship, for religion in its true sense is always taught here, and there is no fitter subject than politics in its real meauiug—science of govern ment—for our consideration. Ready Money. —Ready money is an excellent thing to have on hand no matter if it is only a small sum. If it is only sufficient to meet the current expenses, it is a great con venience, to say the least. Any one who has tried and compared the credit with the cash system will readily admit the correctness of the above remark.—When you buy for cash you generally get thingsc heap •r —get better weight and measure, and all the favors the dealers can extend to his patrons. On the chronic credit system, the matter is usually reversed. If you try to dvoid credit by borrowing, you im prove matters very little, if any. Hence we give this advice : ‘Turn an honest penny’ whenever you can, and always have sufficient money on hand to meet your small engagements.
