After spending large sums of money in experimenting, J. Estey & Co. have at last succeeded in manufacturing an organ which covers the whole ground. The action, by an ingenious and yet perfectly simple mechanism, has been rendered independent, and cannot be affected, like others, by changes in the weather. A new and io snppnsingly beautiful design of ease notleR informed by Managing Agent for the South, tllat in his experience ot twenty-nine years, he has never seen such a universal favorite as this organ seems to be. He has sent it out on trial to be tested with other organs, and that not one has ever been retnmed; ne ither has he failed to sell it to any customer who has ever seen it. Having done away with all local agencies, Estey has determined to sell through Mr. Guilford directly to customers; thus giving them the benefit of all discounts and commis sions. jnly.23.tf. r^LAUKE SHERIFF SALE.— Will be sold before the Conrt House door in the City of Athens, Clarke County, Ga., on the first Tuesday in Octobor next, within the legal honre of sale the following property to wn: twoaeparate tracts of land, one contain ing fifty four teres, more or leas, in Clark* eo., adjoining Fulcher and Nicholson and the other on the line of Clarke and Oconee conntiea most ly in Clarke, said tract said to contain 86 acres, more or lea* adjoing Freeman, Hamilton and other*, told land lying in old Buncomb District ten muea west of Athens.

The proud and haughty earl of Flanders had more than once laid seige to the city of Ghent, and been obliged to raise it, without bringing the stubborn citizens to the abject term which he exacted ; but in the spring of 1382, he rejoiced in the fact that at last he liad them humbled in the dust with hU iron heel upon their necks. By conquering the neigh boring cities and cutting off their sup plies, he had at last brought them to the verge of starvation, so that they were compelled to sue for peace; and Liege, Brabant and Haiuult each agreed to send a deputation to Tour- nay, the place appointed by the earl fora conference,to unite their pray ers with the deputation from Ghent for such terms end conditions as a brave but conquered people might bear. The deputation from Ghent, headed by Philip von Artaveld, governor of the town, and its most redoubted mili tary chief, was instructed to offer com plete submission to the will ot their lord, tlie earl of Flanders, and accede to all terms and conditions that should not involve the life of any of the in habitants. Had the earl been dispos ed to the clemency of a noble soul, he might have saved himself much future trouble, and secuied himself a great number of willing and loving subjects. But he was at hearten vain, haughty tyraut, and was now determined to wreak a cruel revenge upon the men who_had so long denied his power. Though promising to meet the deputa tions at Tournay, he remained at his palace in Bruges; and when, after several days of anxious suspense, they sent messengers to inquire if their lord would deign to honor them with his presence, he returned for answer that he would not come himself, but would send his council with his ultimata. Another week of fearful suspense passed by before the deputation from Ghent received these ultimata of the haughty earl, which were the most cruel and degrading that a conquerer could offer to the conquered. The inhabitants of Ghent, said the council sent by the carl of Flanders, Prices Ilc'dnccil.

Brumby & Co. tbe city Dare*headed, bare-footed, and with baiters around tbeir necks, and take their places on the road between Ghent and Bruges, where the earl will wait for them, and either grant them pardon or put them to death accord ing to his pleasure.” Of course such degrading terms as these could not be accepted by the deputation from Ghent, and it is al most certain the earl himself never or go forth with halters around their necks for the earl to wreak his ven- ganco on, or to select five or six thou sand of the most brave and determined of their number and instantly march to attack the carl in Bruges. tYith one accord the people choose the nSost valiant course, and the next day two thousand brave men, with Philip von Artaveld at their head, marched out of Ghent and took their way to Bruges, carrying with them two hundred carts laden with cannon and artillery, and only seven with provisions, the latter being all that conld possibly bo spared from the famishing town. On arriving before the city Bruges, Philip von Artaveld drew up his whole army around a smail hill, on which he stationed himself, an*) har- rangued them in a most eloquent manner, showing them that every thing was staked on the coming bat tle—the safety of themselves, their wftes and children—that if even hon or would permit them to retreat, there was no place of refuge for them, for their own city was in the last stages of famine, and the gates ol every other were closed against them, and, finally, that only_ provisions enough tor one remained, and, except as conquerors, they could never hope to eat again. Meantime, the earl ot Flanders, at his gorgeous palace in Bi nges, sur rounded by his knights and retainers, heard of the approach of this little army of half-starved men with a smile ofooijtempt. * “ The wicked -madineu,’’ ho said,, “ to beard the lion in his den 1 I will go forth and over awe them with a host, and then literally wipe them from the face of tho earth!” That very day he marched out of the city, at tho head of forty thous and full-armed knights and warriors, expecting an easy victory. A little before sunset he drew up his army in front of the men of Ghent, and the battle was commenced with cannon on both sides. The Ghent men fonght with tbe fury of despqir; and,strange as it may be seem, when it i3 remem bered that they were outnumbered as as eight to one, they soon had their cowardly enmities Hying in every di rection. Tl».*y pursued, shouting ‘ Ghent!” : ed slaughtered without mercy, T.u* whole route back to the vatfs ni Bruges, the distance of a .■itgtie, was soon strewd with the dead and wounded ; and before the uo w terrified earl and his body-guard of kuights could return and put the city in a state of defense, the Ghent men were in it and masters of the place. It was now ihat the vaiu, pom pous, haughty earl of Flanders, so far from dictating degrading terms to the men who had sued to him for mer cy, thought only of saving his own life. He had lcit his own palace with a blaze of torches, to repair to the market place aud put himselt at the head ot the citizens whom he had al ready commanded to assemble there, wdien he was met by a frightened crowd of knights and squirt s, who jMgured him that not only was the town lit possession of the men of Ghent but that a large body of these rebels was even at that moment in tho act of surrounding him for the purpose of taking him alive. “ Heavens!” cried the earl, in ter ror, “ which way will I retreat ?” “There is now no certain way open for you, my lord 1” was the ter rible'reply; “for whatever avenue is not now closed, will be before you can use it—even your palace, we fear, is by this time in. possession of your enemies. ” “ What then is to bo done ? What then can I do? Oh, save me! save me!’’ cried the wretched man. “Your only.chance, my lord, ia to order out these lights, disguUe your person, dismiss all attendants, and escape alonb in the darkness!’’ was the fearful answer. On hearing this the earl Instantly dismounted, commanded the torches to be extinguished, and his attend ants to disperse ; and seizing his ser vant by the arm he fled with him in to a small dark’streot, where^ his ar» Had a few short hours fortunes of this man! He who rose in the pride and power of a king, would have beeuglad to have sunk to a peaceful sleep in the rags of a beggar. It was a terrible night for the wan dering earl of Flanders. He had some very narrow escapes—more than once casting himself down in some dark passage, or drawing himself up in some dark doorway, while the prowling crowd was hurrying past. At last, finding himself in a miserable quarter in the city, aud in front of a mean looking hut, the danger pressed him to seek his safety within. He tried the door, found it unfastened, and entered in trembling haste. The room was small, almost without furniture and black with smoke and dirt, A woman and a child appeared to be its only occupants; and the mother turned upon him with pallid features and clasped bauds, evidently fearing he had come to take her life. The earl knew that everything depended upon her favor, that there was not a moment to be lost, and he instantly threw him selt upon her mercy without disguise. “Woman,’’ he said, with trembling eagerness, “I am thy lord, the earl of Flanders, seeking to escape from my enemies, who are searching the city. In Heaven’s name, hide me—save mo —and great shall be thy reward !” The moment he spoke, she recog nized him, for she had often seen him pass; and poor and humble though she was, she possessed a nerve and presence of mind equal to the emer gency, instantly she seized his arm aod4toiBtedetoa laddo? which. ?ed, to- a miserable loft above. “Quick, my lord,” she cried; “spring up yonder, and crawl under the bed in which my children are asleep !” In a moment he had disappeared; and almost the next moment the door was thrown open, and several armed men entered the room, and found the poor woman quietly bending over her infant child. “Where’s the man that ju9t now entered here?’’ demanded the foremost. “By my troth,” replied the woman, with the coolness of a Spartan mother, “I’ve seen no man except yourselves!” i Note* and free, -Bat like same wood bird ringing All its heart ont to the tender May In dreams it comes to me— A spirit lay Breathing of “Mothor, Heaven, Home,” And all pure, peaoefnl things, ’Till with hands upraised and folded, Glistening wings I fancy Angels bending down To list Tbo strains so lowly, And as tho’ their bright etheria! natures glow With sympathies thus holy, I seem to catch tlie divinely measured flow Of some high refrain.

Ono time there was an old man whose back was bent and his steps glow. Men who gazed upon his snowy hair and-jspiikleti -facp .ffcook their heads and whispered to each other, “He is a good old man who has not long to live.”' The c!i< man hknfecn well off in hi9 day; but when he found himself on the shady side of life, wife dead, and home broken up, he said to his only son: “Here, William, take all I have and let your home be my home until I die.”. The son took the papers—you bet he did; and the father was given a cozy corner, a big chair, and a. corn-cob pipe. All went well for a year or so, and then the son and the son’s wife began to make it uncomfortable for the nice old man in the. corner. They threw out hints, deprived him of his com- ' Woman, beware of faiseho^l 1 "We \ foTts ’ and “"f da ? in " inter ** e IV his fienrn. and thn dnnr cron and j told that he belter 8° t0 Hal,faS —Nova Scotia. The old man’s heart was sore as he wont out into the world to battle against hunger and cold ; and when night came he cowered into a door way and wept like a child. “Who ia making that chin music up there ?” called a reporter, whose steps had been arrested by the sobs; and he went up the steps, patted the old man on the back, and sat by him until his sad story was told. “Come down to the station with me,’’ said the reporter, taking the old saw his figure, and the door open and shut!” You saw my figure then, for I’ve just been to tho door to throw some water. Faith, if there is any other man here pray tell mo where he is hid! This room, and the one above, where my children are asleep, comprise my whole house, which you can search in a minute. If you doubt my word, gentlemen, suppose you see for your selves !” As she spoke she handed the leader of the crowd a candle, and he at once ascended the ladder and looked in the loft, where he saw only the children man 3 arm ‘ . . “Your son is first cousin to the man huddled together and asleep on their miserable bed. lie returned satisfied, df claretl that he must have jnade a mistake; and he aud his companions immediately departed, leaving the trembling earl beneath the rude bed, thanking Heaven for his wonderful escape. Thus was the proud Earl of Flan ders ^preserved through that terrible night in the disguise of his servant, uuder the bed of a poor woman’s chil* dren. The uext night he escaped from the town in the garb of a peasant, and, after wandering about ^he fields for a time, at last fell in with some of his own knights, and succeeded in reaching the Castle of Lille in safety. Neatly all of the surrounding cities surrendered to Ghent; and Philip von Artaveld und Peter duBois be came tvarriois of groat renown in the war that followed, which soon Involv* cd the kingdoms of England and France. Philip von Artaveld was slain in battle; and not long alter the carl of Flanders died suddenly, it is supposed by the hand of an assassin. “It’s horrible to bo economical,’’ said a pretty woman to Quiz, with the utmost plaintiveness. “ There’s no use in living it you cau’t dross Well.’ What is a woman; anyhow, without her clothes?’’- And Quiz laughed a little, and choked himself and blush.- cd,(and didn’t answer. who preferred buzzard to lamb, and I’ll help you fix him.’’ . Next morning one of the daily pa pers contained an item to the effect that fd old gentleman Darned Good* jieart had been found wandering the streets at night, and that, when taken to the station, ten thousand dollars’ worth of United States bonds were found on him. The old man read it over three times, slapping his leg as he saw the point, and a beautiful smile covered his face and dimed up through his hair. In an hour his son William rushed into the station, and called oat: “Father! dear father! come hornet We were crying all night long, and my wife is now lying in a comatose state on your account.’’ "" The old man went home with him, winking at the lamp-posts, and smiling as he tamed the corners. He had all of his comforts back, and the son bought him a costly pipe and a pair of box-toed boots that veiy day. Wdl, as time went on; the son ven tured to suggest that tbe bonds had better be turned over to him; and every time ha said “bonds” the. old than would smile aud tarn the subject The other day the father went to bed to die, and he smiled oftener than before as be lay waiting for the sum mons. The son said bis heart was breaking, and then he went through the old man’s clothes to find the honds. He didn’t find any. He searched the barn, and tho cellar; and finally, when Ee saw that death was near, he leaned over the bed and whis pered: “Father, do you know me?” “Oh, yes 11 know you like n book,’ replied the dying man. *tfe.nd, fether, don’t yon see this is killing mo V 75 | “Yes, William, I sca.it-!” “And, father, those—those bonds, you know.

M . v ; *- When evening fell the son and the son’s wife were wildly searching th® straw bed to get their hands on those bonds. IT DON’T PAY. The following from the Newark Daily Advertiser, bos some whole some truths which it would be w< for all classes of citizens to ponder: It don’t pay to have fifty working men poor and ragged ip order ” liave one saloon-keeper dressed iit broadcloth and flush of money. It don’t pay to .have these fifty workingmen to live on bone soup and half rations, in order that the saloon keeper may flourish on roost turkey and champagne. It don’t pay to have the mothers and children of twenty families dress ed in rags and starved into semblance of emaciated scarecrows and living in hovels in order that the saloon-keep er's wife may dress in satin, and her children grow fat and hearty, and live in a bay-window parlor. It don’t pay to have one citizen in the county jail because another citi zen sold him liquor. It don’t pay to have ten smart, ac tive and intelligent boys transformed into hoodlums and thieves, to enable one man to lead an easy life by sell ing them liqnor. It don’t pay to give ono man, for 915 a quarter, a license to sell liquor, and then spend $20,000 ;on the trial ofTim-McLaugliin for buying that liquor and then committing murder under fts influence. ; - ■ 'TfrWrtti’l pay'to Wvooim tlijfot&tid homes blasted, ruined, defiled and turned into hells of disorder and ery in order that one wholesale liquor dealer may amass a large fortune. It don’t pay to keep six thousand men in the penitentiaries and hospit als, and one thousand in tho lunatio asylum at tlie expense of the honest, industrious tax-payers, in order that a few rich capitalists may grow rich er by the manufacture of whisky. It never pays to do wrong; yonr sin will find yon out; whether others find it out or not, and sin knows where you are and will always keep you posted of tho fact—it dou’t pay. A saloon-keeper sold a drinking man one pint of new rum, making fift teen cents clear profit The man un der the influence of that pint of rum killed his son-in-law; aud his appre hension, confinement in jail, execu tion, etc., cost the county more than one thousand dollars—which temper ate men had to earn by the sweat of their brows. It don’t pay. The loss sustained by society, mor ally and financially, and sorrow and suffering, the misery and destitution produced and augmented, and what is infinitely a greater consideration than all else, the loss ofsonland body, tbe inevitable result of using or traficking in intoxicating liqnors— these all attest the truthfulness of the verdict—it don’t pay.
