Ob ! be not the first to discover A blot on the fame of a friend. A flaw in the faith of a lover, Whose heart may prove true In the end. We none of ns know one anotbtr, And oft into error we fall. Then let ns speak well of our brother,J Or speak not about him at all. A smile or a sigh may awaken Suspicion most false and undne ; And thus our faith may be shaken In the hearts that are honest and true. How often the light smile of gladness Is worn by the friend that we meet, To cover a soul full of sadness, Too proud to acknowledge defeat. How often the sigh of dejection Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast, To parody truth and affection, Or 101 l a suspicion to rest. How often the friends we hold dearest, Their noblest emotions conceal , And bosoms the purest, sincerest, Have secrets they cannot reveal. Leave base minds to harbor suspicions. And small ones to trace our defects— Let ours be a noble ambition. For base is the mind that tfnspedt. • _ .. A THE PRESSMAN. Pull np my boys, turn quick the rounoe And let the work begin) The World Is pressing on without. And we must press within—* And we who guide the public mind. Have influence far and wide, And all our deeds are good, though The devil is at our Bide. Let fly the frl sleet, now my boy si Who are more proud than We; While wait the anxious crowd without. The inward power to seel go pull away—none are great As they who run the car; And who hate dignity like those. Who practice at the bafl And yon who twirl the rollers them, Be quick thou inky man; Old time is rolling oU himself, So beat hire if you can; Be careful of the light and shade, let the sheet grow pale. Be careful of the nionkty looks, Os every head and tail. Though high in office is 6nr stand, And pious is our case. We would not cost a slur on those Who fill a lower place. The gaping world is fed by ns, Who retail knowledge here; By feeding them we feed ourselves, Nor deem our fare too de&r. Pull up iny boys turn quick therounce, And thus the chase we’ll join; We have deposits in the bank Our draws are full of qdoin, And who should more genteely cut A figure or a dash? Alas I that we Who press so much, Should e’er be pressed for cash. «■——— ■ >m w m 11 FAT STEERS. The Agricultural Report for March and April haa the following : •'George Ayraolt, of Poughkeepsie, Nsw York, leports to the Department on four steers, seven-eights shorthorn, raised by him, and sold near the close of 1869 to William Lalor; of Center Market, New tork City, for $3,200, the age of one of the animals being seven yeirS, And of the othets iik years. The largest stood six feet high, with a girth of feet ; and the weight of the animals was 3,300 pounds, 8,320 pounds, 8 406 pounds, and 3,440 potinds, respectively ; their proportions being good notwithstanding thsir enor mous §i*e. The aggregate gain in height during the season of 1869 was M<>o bounds. The net beef weight of the larg er pair, after slaughter, was 4, 68 T pounds, exceeding; it is claimed, that of any other oair of beeves evet fattened. Ttn-v average weight at the age of three years was i,«50 pounds. After attaining this age each, rccUred daily a peck of corn meal and wheat shorts, combined divided into two feeds, and, as feaert, a ptek of sugar bestttwies •*•7- u A& IruafVerLcierLt ZT~Z M i '''-- • - X J otlrnal-Devotefi to tHe = —.-■ .BAISBBIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 3, ,1870 lbmn»' er V UD til lately, tbeir only feed waa grids with a little sweet hay. The second winter the-daily feed of meal was 1001*611864 u? qoaVts each, given in two feeds. In the summer of 1869, each received one peck cf jnesl per day, given at morning and at bight; and in the Winter following, twelve quarts of .meal daily, id three feeds besides roots. In t,J»eir course of feeding they have had, in winter the best of eirly cuthay tVonJ old meadows, and have usually had access to it in sum - j mer. They were hot closely confined in Wifttfir usually having the run of a small yard, vfrith access to water, and with sheds under #bich they could lie protected from atoms, and Were tied at feeding time. It is Mr. Ajrtatilt's opinion that when cattle are fattening add it is dedired to give them all the grain they Will eat withotit being clogged, it is important to feed three times a day ; and he considers beets, or their equivalent, essential in winter in promoting the growth of grain fed cattle; He does out advise heavy feeding for beef until animals are well grown, his practice being to maiutain his stock in merely thrif ty condition until they reach the age of three years. A committee of the Farmers, Club, American Institute, reporting on these cat tle, state that they find that the only pro fit arising from the last year’s growth of the animals lay in the increased or “fancy” rates obtained ou account ot magnitude, and that, in Mr. Ayrault's judgment, five years is the age at which fattened cattle will give the greatest profit to the feeder* A MURDER TRIAL IN NEVADA. [From the Galaxy.] “I was sitting here,” said the Judge, ‘in this old pulpit, holding court, and we Were trying a big wicked-looking Spanish des* perado for killing the husband of a bright pretty Mexican woman. It waa a lazy summer duy, and an awfully long one, and the witnesses were tedious. None of ns took any interest in the trial except tb«*t nervous uneasy devil of a Woman—because you know how love and how they hate, aud this one had loved her husband with all her might, and now she had boil ed it down into hale, and stood here spit ting it at that Spaniard with her eyes; andltellyoW she Would stir me up too, with a little of her summer lightening oc casionally-. Well I had my coat off and hell* Up, lolling and sweating, and smok ing one of those Cabbage cigars -the San Francisco people used to thiuk were good enough for us in those times ; and the lawyers they all had their coats off and were smoking and whittling, and the Wit nesses the same, and so was the prisoner. Well, the fact is, there wan’t any interest in the murder trial then, because the fel lows was always brought in ttot guilty, the jury expecting him to do as much for them some time ; and although the evi dence was straight and square against this Spaniard, we kuew we could not Con* Viet him without seeming to be rather high-handed and sort of reflecting on every gentleman in the community ; for them Wai n’t any Cafriages and liveries then; and so only the '‘style” there was, was to keep your private graveyard. But that woman seemed to have her heart set on hanging that Spaniard ; and you’d ought to have seen how she would glare on him a minute, and then look up at me in her pleading way, aud then turn and for the next five minutes search the jury’s faces —and by aud by drop her face in her hands for just a while as if she was most ready to give up, but out she’d come again directly and be as lively and anxious as ever But when the jury announced the verdict, Not guilty, and I told the prisioner be was acquitted and free to go, that woman rose up till she appeard to be da tall and grand us a seventy-fourgan ship, and says ehe : “Judge, do I Understand you to say that ibis man is not guilty, that murdered my husband Without auy cause before my own eyes and my little children’s, and that all has been done to bim that i?Ver justice and the law can do V ‘The same, says I. “And then what do you feckon she did ?

Ah, ska was* »pmt*d wtneh 1* I HE FIELD OF MANASSAS. A correspondent of the Charleston News, •fter sketching the appearance of this great battle field during .ihe war, has the following-upon its present condition From this terrible waste aud ruin let ua turn to a fairer sighl-the Manassas of to* day It is a pretty village of over a hun dred houses, grouped about ibe depot; with broad streets iu lined with residences .Stores, smithies, and all ces of a considerable population. Many of these houses are neat' and tasty, some are eve,; elegant, and the hotel is a pleasant spacious one indeed— while queenly relig- ion has lull! her temple on a grassy lawn at the end of a fine street. The inhabis tants are mostly from the North, a sturdy, hard-working yeomanry, bringing down those habits of industry and sobriety which have made a gardenland of even cold and rocky New England. Tbeir principles are also of the North, but this does not trouble the good Virginians who have settled among them, for they are not making a political colony; they came down on the bi rder of the sunny South to make homes for themselves; not to be office holders. So the fields, as fat 1 its the eye can reocb, are under cultivation, the yiiung wheat is breaking through the ground, and all the busy activities of the farm ate in cheerful progress. Young trees ate slowly grow ing up, to mitigate and soften the present bald aspect of the place—the germs of fil ter® gardens brighten here and there in spots of floral brilliance and beauty—new houses are rising on newly acquired estates for the homes of future generations of thrifty Virginians, and a smart liUle local paper dispenses the tidings of the day, and indulges in occasional strains of prophet** enthusiasm, which would bo w orttty cf Duluth or Oinnha. Dclihium Tbemeks; —The following vivid description is from one of John 8. Gough's lecture* : ‘I once knew a man who was tormented rrftii altumaii faco lhat glare J at tom Dorn the wall. He wiped it out —it was there, perfect as before. He stood bank some paces and saw itsgiin. Maddened to des peration, he went aod struck it agaiu, and again, and again, until the wall was sput tered with blood, and the bones tof his hands were broken—all this beating out a phan tom. That is the horror of “delirium tre* mens.’ I remetiber when it struck me—God forgive me that I drank enough to lead to it, although not one-half so much as some who drank with me. The first glaes with me was like fire iu the blood ; the second was as concentric rings in the brain ; the third made me dance and shout ; the fourth made me drunk, and God help me / I dank enough to bring on that fearful dis ease. I remember one night when in bed, trembling with fright. Something was coming into the room—what it waa i knew not. Suddenly the candle seemed to go out. I knew the light Was burning $ I struggled to get to it, uud would have held uiy hand there fiercely till burnt to the bone. All at once I felt I was sinking down : Tearful shapes seemed gathering round, aod yet I knew I was sitting in my bed, no obe hear, and the light burning I “Delirium tremens” is a terrible disease, out—God pity as l—men are dying from it every day. 1 saW one man die, and shall never forget his look ; ho was but in his tweiuy*lhird year, aud he died mad.” A Noted MaoaXtnlst. —Littell, the foun der of the periodical known as ‘Littell’s Living Age;* is dead, at the ripe old age of seventy-eight; It will be remembered that the ‘Age’ was entirely devoted to for eign literature. Mr. Littell was one of the first in America to inaugurate maga zines of this character, aiid bis example has siuco been extensively followed. Ac knowledging tbe ‘Age* to be one of the best works of its class, and respecting the abilities of Mr. Littell as a literary char acter, we must at the same time; admit that the ‘Age’ has done as much to check the growth of American literature as any periodical in the couutry. The ‘Age’ will of course, pursue the even tenor of its in glorious way; that sort of thing is too popular, and too profitable; to be stopped by either death or criticism. Superstition and ignorance seem to be the indefeasible inheritances of the English peasantry. In Devonshire an old man is charged with scratching tbe arm of a woman, in Order that, by draWihg blood ha might put an end to her power as a witch. He bad safferad from four com plaints, and had lost fourteen canaries and about fifty goldfinches, owing to her fna lignaut influence, ho Mid; Masnacrk or fuE Drones-— Quo of the great natural phenomena of the bee-hive is the massacreing of the drones. It was atone time asserted that the worker-bees did not use their stings against the sling, less males, but merely pushed them out to die. This idea, however, resulted from the massacre being always committed at the bottom of the hive, whither the poor droses retire in clusters in July and August as if aware of the doom impending over them. As usual, by one of his Ingenious expedients Huber discovered the truth. Six swarms wero put on glass tables, beneath which the watchers placed themselves. ‘This contrivance, * says Huber, 'succeeded to ad miration. On the 4th of July, we saw th. workers actually massacre the whole six swarms, at the same hour and with the same peculiarities. The glass table was covered with bees full of animation, which flow Upon the drooes as they came from tho bottom of the hive, seized them by the at tenn®, the limbs and the wings, and after having dragged them about, so to speak, after quartering them, they killed them by repeated stings directed between the rings of the belly. The moment that this for midable weapon reached them, Was ths last of their existence—they stretched their wings amt eipired. At the same time, as if the workers did not consider them dead, as they appeared to us, they still struck the sting so deep that it could hardly be withdrawn; and these bees were obliged to turn round upon themselves, witt» A screwi«like motion, before tbs mting» could be disengaged. Nckt day w« witnessed new sceoes of carnage. During throe hour*, tb« bees furiously destroyed the m»tes. They had massacred all their own on the preceding day, but now attacked those which, driven from the neighboring hives, had taken refuge among them. The following days no drones remained in the hives.* Gem. Cuba Jordan BANqPEfst).—The New York Caban Junta sravo aJ>an.au.c.t lo Jordan last Thursday. Iu response to his health, which was proposed by Seilor Alda* uia, General Jordan replied at some length reviewing bis advent in Cuba, the general situation of the island, and allbded In feeL jng terms to the course which the Ameri can Government had pursued in reference to the great cause of Cuban liberty. He says he was thrown out of his employment as a soldier at the termination of ‘he late war, having fought on the Southern side. When be went to, Cuba he did not believe the negro fitted forfreedon; nevertheless, as an act of policy after the abolition of slavery in this country, he counselled with his friends to emancipation, he was satis* fied they deserved their freedom. (Ap plause.) He want to Cuba with forty* seven Cubans, to help organiza the troops and discipline them, for he believed that organization and discipline only were ue* cessary to enable them to drive the Span iards into the sea. After giviug an inter* esting narrative oF the present posture of affairs, aud expressing a hope that the day was at hand when the independence of the island would be proclaimed, ho con cluded by stating that he had not seen any of the patriots engaged in battle who did not display an inflexible purpose to free Cuba. Such people ought to have liberty and must have liberty. Arms were ob tained by the Spaniards from American ports. He Would soou return, but a great deal would have to be done by American friends, and be would guarautee that Cuba in a short time would be a free an indepen dent State, to assume her lot as she might elect. How to Force Radishes. —According to Galignani’t* Messenger, radishes may be grown id a Few days by the following some# what singular method : Let some good Radish seed soak in wa ter for hours, then put them in a bag and expose it to the sun; In the course of the day germination will com* me nee. The seediubst then be sown in a well manured hot bed, and Watered From time to time with lukewArm water. By this treatment the radishes will, in a very short time, acquire a sufficient bulk, and be good to eat. If it be required to get good radishes in winter, daring the severe cold, an old cask should bs sawn in two, and oneshalf of it filled with good earth. The rddisb seed, beginning to shoot as before, must then be sown in, the other half of the barrel pat on the top of the fnll one, and the whole apparatus Carried duw» into the cellar. 1 For watering, lukewarm water should be used as before* In th* course of five or six the radishes will be fit to set BABBIT & WARFIELD; •i-%i h'h niHlio'^Hff‘#r plmun la aaaoaoelaf to tkotr Moods «i ■ " . 1 '• r ■ - • w5.i.,?- ?.i" ; *. .on ‘ J::{r *rfjut ' } ’ ‘ ‘ ■']■* • **i GrOOOSs • i • luluflitt ,<t * j “ ) iIM M ■ ;> : j “vI'* 1 '* - *«t i>»iJ i u ;■':!( >!
