Please. Luce try and hide it—
Just think, it’s Sunday and, my soul
I can not wear it with a hole!’
The men will surely spy it.
They're always peeping at our feet,
(Though to-be-sure they needu’t peep,
The way we. hold our dresses -,)
I’ll disappoint them, though, to nay—
•‘And cross myself,” prav. did you say ?

How splendidly the silk will rustle!

OVER THE RIVER.
Mr; Editor —ln our younger
days we were accustomed to look upon
what is usually called the 17th, as'the
dark corner of Thomas.
Great y to our surprise, however,
upon a recent v sit, we found it to be
one of the best and most flourishing
sections to be found in the country.
Having been often invited by a
friend to come out and. see him, and
hunt and fish, we started one sunny
day afoot to spend u day or two with
him;
Mr. Editor, you are fond of fishing,
and for your especial ’, benefit, and for
the benefit of those ftho go to the
river in general, we would*
not to undertake to cross on the R.
Road Treat'©.. It is the longest in
South .rn Georgia, and very danger
ous for any one to be caught on by a
passing train.
When we finally got across we brea
thed a sigh of relief and mentally re*
solved to swim- the river rather than
try the experiment again.
After wandering about for some
timc'we at last came to a beautiful
place. A nice, white painted edifice,
in front of which stood a fine row of
water oaks, decked in full foliage, and
a yard fragrant with the loveliest
Rowers of spring. We were most hos
pitably received by the mistress of the
'place, (Mrs Bowen,) one of the most
kind hearted and mothefly old ladies
in the land Her sn, Mr. Reuben
Bowen, like an honest, hard-wot king
man, as he is, was out engaged in the
duties of the farm. He soon came in,
however, and gave us a cordial greet
ing-
The “nomad” negroes, who rove
about the country, sometimes find
their way into the 17lh. Two, whom
Mr. B. bad employed, for some trivial
pretence had just left him in this, the
most busy time oi the year' for a farm
er. wl. 'h compelled him to take hold
of the plowhandles himself, which,
having been raised to it, he did man
fully
This seims to fc the case all over
the country. As soon as they get
enough to eat they become dissatisfied
and leave. We heard a farmer say
that one had come to his bouse the
day previous, in search of work. He
asked him wbat wages he woold take.
The darkey replied, “a dollar a
month” He was then askeo how ma
oy agfes be could plow in a day Tbe
reply was, “one hunting} ” Tbe far
mer told him to pass 00, he bad no
use for him.
We speot several days most pleas
antly, With gun oiMpbotfidcr and rod
io band we went to creek,
prepared to shoot anything, dr to
catch as many fish as would bite. For
two solemn hoars we sat upon the
banks of that silent stream and didn't
get a nibble, and went back sadly, with
the firm conviction that the fish in
said crdfelt were not very hungry, or
we were a very poor fisherman.
If you wish to enji y yourself and
see a good country, go to the 17th,
where we will warrant you a hearty
reception.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL
CONGRESS.
President’s-Office, "1
Chicago, March, 1873. | !
The next, being the second meeting"
of the National Agricultural Congress,
will be held at Indianapolis, Ind., com
mencing on Wednesday May 2itb,
1873. The necessary local arrange*
ments for the occasion, it is now un
derstood, will be ainplo and complete.
By the constitution .of this body
each State and Territory is entitled to
two representatives for every State or
n-anTzation engaged in fostering agri
cultural pnrsaits. The UfSitfcd States
Department of Agriculture, Agricul
tural Schools and Colleges with an en
dowment of not less than 820,000, and
Agricultural and Horticultural Socie
ties of not less than fifty members con
tributing to the support of this Con
gress, are entitled to one representa*
live each.
In urging iTe appointment and at
tendance of delegates as thus provided
for, very little needs to be said. The
purpose of the organization is to afford
an opportunity annually, for an inter*
ohange of views and opinions upon all
subjects affecting the interests ot Ag
ricul’ure and its kindred industries,
and to promote concert of action
among those engaged in these pur
suits, in all matters relating to them
and of national importance.
The advantages to be derived from
snch a median), even in ordioary times
and under ordinary circumstances are
quite apparent, and now that the pub*
lie mind is thoroughly aroused to the
necessity of considering with the
greatest deliberation many questions
touching the industrial interests of this
country, there is good reason to ex
pect a very fail representation. No
similar body has.ever assembled in the
United States upon whose action res
ted a mure seridus responsibility than
will rest upon tho action of this, in
many important respects. I hope .it
will be the pleaipare, as it certainly is
the duty of every organization entitled
to participate, to avail itself of- the
privilege. The constituent bodies
which have appointed or may bereaf,
ter appoint representatives will please
notify the Secretary, Chas, W.
Greene, Jackson, Tennessee, who will
in due time advise them of the subjects
to be presented for consideration at
the meeting. •

Pres. Nat’l Ag’l Congress.

The Great Temperance Move
ment—A Grand Union of all tho
Temperanoe People of Georgia,
in Macon, on the 7th of May-
A convention of delegates from ten
Southern States, representing sis
Temperance Orders, assembled in
Chattanooga, Tenuesaee, on the 22d of
January, 1873, and formed a new
Temperance Order, .to be known as
‘‘The United Friends of 'Temperance,”
This uew Order was erected upon the
following basis of union ;
I. Only white people shall be cligi.
hi* to membership in this Order
11. The Pledge of the Order shall
beiiinding during membership in the
Ordef; but a Degree is provided for
all who desire to take tho pledge for.
life. These degrees are related to
each other as the Masters and Royal
Arch degrees in masonry.
111. Each State sha ! be supreme
m its own jurisdiction, except as to
Rituals ad Signs, which must be in'
common, and is therefore vested in
the Supreme Council of tire whole Or
der.
IY. The Pledge shall include all
“alcoholic liquors, whether fermented,
brewed or distilled,”
Y. No pi litical parly discussions,
or sectarianism, shall bo allowed ia
the Orders Neither shall the Order
have anything to do with prohibitory
legislation. Regarding that as a- mat-*
ter for each Citizen to pass upon as a
citizen, it will steer clear of its agita
tion.
This new Order, which is entirely
congenial to the tastes of our Southr
ern people, is spreading rapidly all
over our sunny land ; and in Georgia,
has already, in the short space of three
months, run up to nearly 70 Councils.
MACON CONVENTION.
• The Grand Council will assemble-in
Macon, on 7th of May, to perfect the
Order. All the railroads in Georgia
will pass delegates at one fare'going,
aod home free on certificate of Secre
tary. .'flip, Lanier Rouse-has also re
duced rates to oneshalf for the occa
sion; .
CITIZENS COUNCIL.
Any ten white citizens, it* any por
tion of.Georgia, can meet, adopt the
above basis, and send their delegates
to this convention. Books, &c., will
be distributed to all such. Let every
community send up a delegate, that
the entire State may be represented inf
this great -Temperance movement.— 1
Intemperance, like a canker, is cor
rupting the life-blood of our ablest
and best, and it becomes all good men
to band against this terrible agent of
the c vil one.
The i , forward to Madon, stnd let us
reason together. The time is short
let us work quickly.
For the Grand Council.

The Tolling Wife!.
There is no little truth in the fol *
lowing, which we cut from an ex
change' :
A farmer’s wife on a largo farm,
with six or eight children of all ngeiSj
from nineteen to two years of age, has
without help, a toilsome life of it—a
life of hard labor. She is generally
the first up in (he morning and to bed
last at night, toiling incessantly from
eaily dawn till late in the evening.-
The mother ai.-d wife, on a large farm,
with a large family, most of whom a
greater portion of the year go to
school, has a laborious life of it—much
more husband and father.—
No wonder so many of them are bro
ken down in health at for,ty years tf
age, literally worn Out with toil.—
What wonderment* then, that so many
of the best wives are peevish and
cross. What some of them pass
through is enough to sour the disposi
tion ofao angel.
Salvation is not a thing of chance,
or left to man’s .]jj!l or power, but it
was contrived by the blessed Trinity in
the covenant of grace, and every thing
belonging to it was perfectly settled.
The forgers who defrauded the
Bank of England have had but short
good lock. Austin Bidwell was arres
ted in Havana, George Mac Donnell in
New York, George Bidwell in Edin
burg. Fortunately tbe authorities
were able to lay their hands on tbe
clerk Noyes, and be became faint-,
hearted, and turned State’s evidence
at onee.
