The following article we pu!>- lisb. by request of cue of our staunch old citizens, who says ho “wishes to see it in several numbers of the Ex press What tlie Hardsliells Say. Advice of the Ipetoic Association to ttic Oinreheji Composing' l»e r Body, in Regard to the Home stead. There is a clause iu the Constitution of the State of Georgia which grants any citizen of the State the right to withhold from the payment of his debts the sum or its equivalen of SBOOO iu gold. This is a privilege of which we may naturally and reasonably ex pect the “world” will take the benefit; aud some members of the Church have been so inconsiderate as to suppose that it was not wrong for them to take the benefit of it, inasmuch as it is the law of the land. But we hold that no Christian can take the benefit of that law without violating the law 7 of Christ. even if he is not in debt. For if he is iu debt, and takes the advantage of that law with the purpose of paying his debts, he is taking an undue ad vantage of his creditors, in using their money against their will; for if he had the consent of his creditor, there would be no necessity to resort to the Homestead. The Word of God de clares that the “borrower is servant to the lender,” but the Homestead makes the lender servant to the borrower; it places the creditor at the mercy of the debtor. It is a further violation of the j law of God, which requires us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We would advise breth ren to note the fact, in the first chap ter of Daniel, that the Hebrew chil dren would not eat the portion of meat and wine provided them, by, the King of Babylon, because they could not do so without defiling themselves; nor do we believe that a Christian can under any circumstances take the ben efit of the Homestead without defiling himself, even if he is not in debt; for one not in debt has no excuse to re sort to the Homestead, and hence must be influenced by a spirit of “pro viding for the things of to-morrow,” in violation of the law of Christ. And if it ia wrong to resort to the Homestead to stay the payment of his it is of course, wrong to resort to it to es cape them wholly, whether it be as principal or security; because in this case as in the other, it is a violation of contract. We believe that we fully appreciate tha difficulties by which some brethren are surrounded, who are in debt and who have lost their property by the late war, but we still hold that they are not thereby justi fied in doing wrong; but that they are not required by the 1;w of Christ to turn the other cheek, and, to give the cloak also, that is, that the loss of property is not to move them from right nor even life itself. For we know that these trials have not been permit ted to come upon us to drive us from the sanctuary of God, to trust in an arm of flesh, and to make us worse, but they are designed rather to cause us to amend our ways and build up the breaches in the wall that separates us from the world. We are command ed by Christ to “seek first the king dom of God and his righteousness and all these things (food and raiment) shall be added unto us.” We are taught by Him that He cares for the sparrows, that the hairs of our heads are numbered, that he clothes the fields and that his care is much great er for us; that no good thing will be withheld from them that walketh up rightly. Surely then we depart from sure promises when w e violate his law in taking advantage of our neighbor (exhorting his consent) to stay the payment of our debts, or to escape them entirely, or if out of debt to provide before-hand for escaping our obligations in future. We khiuk it an erring from the faith, hence disorder ly, and as such we are commanded to withdraw from it. Nor is it resistance to the law of the land to decline avail ing ones self of the benefits of the Homestead, for none are compelled by law to take it; and even if they were, we hold that it would be wrong for them to do so, but still not to resist that or any other law of man by force, which is the kind of resistance we are forbid to resort to and which brings damnation. We are commanded to resist the devil in any guise he may present himself. But Christians are required to submit to any Lsses they may incur by the people of the world taking the homestead. We are com manded to love one another, and Editors and Proprietors. j should manifest that love iu a great (measure to our brethren who, rather than violate the law of Christ in tak- S iug a homestead, should render all they have to their creditors; and this we believe, brethren you will do. Therefore, we advise that any mem ber who resorts, under any circum stance, to the homestead, be dealt with by the church, not as an enemy but as an erring brother; and that all Scriptural means bo used to retain and reclaim him. Aud we advise all brethren who have resort ul to the homestead to renounce it and return to the bosom of the church, and we believe that it will be well with them. Brethren, let us remember that he has promised never to leave nor forsake us; that He has loved us with an ev erlasting love, chosen us to salvation before the world began, redeemed us by His Son, and quickened and taught us by His spirit, and that we are to glorify Christ as the light of the world and the salt of the earth; and seeing such unspeakable mercies are bestow ed upon us what manner of men we ought to be in all Godliness and hon esty. May the Lord bless you?— Amen. Pasture with Sliccp. The Farmer and Fireside says it may “not be known to farmers in gen • j eral that it is a common practice in some of the potato growing districts to turn a flock of sheep for the purpose of eat ing down the weeds. The sheep will not touch the potato vine. This pas turing with sheep is very advantageous w hen the crop is a late planted one, so that the hoeing cannot be completed until the haying or harvesting is fin ished. At the growing season it is the farmer’s aim to keep down the grass and weeds, so that they may be covered by the cultivator and hoe, wnen these are used. Pasturing the sheep will attain this object. Early planted crops, the cultivation of which is complete iu the early part ofthe sum mer, frequently becomes grassy and weedv before the time of digging, when the size of the tops precludes cultiva tion. Ia this stage the sheep areeco. nomical weeders. It is hardly neces sary to mention that the feed thus giv en to the sheep makes a double profit, inasmuch as it costs absolutely noth ing, while labor is saved and weeds prevented from seeding.” A ROMANCE OF THE EAST. llow a Beautiful white Girl Be came the Slave of Two Black Women, and then the Wife of Count Benedetti. Louise Muhlbaeli, in her “Letters from Egypt,” tells a very romantic sto ry about the wife of Count Benedetti, the French Minister Plenipotentiary at the Prussian court before the outbreak of the present war. Avery rich Greek merchant, resi dent in Alexandria, had two black wives, whom he loved dearly, and for whose service he provided a large ret inue of beautiful girls. One of his wives, one day, chauced to see a charm ing white girl, aud was so pleased with her that she coaxed her husband into buying her. The beautiful slave became a confi dential servant and companion to her mistresses, and conducted herself to wards them iu such a sagacious man ner that she became indispensable to them. She sang to them, aud gossip ed and frolicked so gracefully that en nui was banished completely. She won their affection, and through them, also, the affection of her master, the venerable Greek merchant. But unfortunately, the black wives suddenly fell sick one day, and before nightfall they were both dead. Their disease was known to nobody, and they were hastily buried. The beauti ful young slave, who had not left their side for a moment during the few hours of their illness, seemed incon solable. She did her best, however, to ; assuage the grief of the aueient mer chant, and in this way so endeared her self to him that he adopted her as his child and heir, since he was just a lit tle 100 old to marry her. In course of time the venerable sage rejoined his swarthy wives in the other world, and the fortunate nymph came into posses sion of his millions. At this stage of her exist nco Count Denedetti, who was then only a penniless attache to the Trench consulate in Alexandria, offered her his hand and heart, and having married her, with the aid of her wealth cut for himself a road to fame. In this way, she who was once a slave to slaves, beearno a star in tne circles of the French world of fashion.

Do you dwell on a passage till you bring out some moaning, or till you carry away some memorable truth or immediate lesson ? or do you flit along on heedless wing, only on the lookout for novelty, and too frivolous to explore or ponder the Scriptures? Does the Word of God dwell in you so richly that in the vigils of a restless night, or in the bookless solitude of a sick room, or in the winter of old age or exclu sion from ordiances, i t s treasured truths would perpetuate summer round 3 T ou, and give you meat to eat which the world knows not of? —James Hamilton , D. D. JWarThe Louisville, Courio'-Journal, speaking of tho election in this State says; ‘‘Georgia, tho thrice reconstructed Empire State of tho South—Georgia, the victim of Forney’s slanders and Bullock’s gang of plunderers—Geor gia, the supreme object of Grant’s so licitude and Akerman’s cunning statu tes and partisan construction—Geor gia, so long the subject of Terry’s gen tle dominion— has gone Democratic by somewhere between thirty and fifty thousand. There is no use of putting too fine a point on a victory so over whelming. There are 200,000 voters in that State, of whom perhaps a bare majority are white Democrats, the re mainder being about ninety thousand colored voters and seven or eight thou sand Radical office-seekers. It is there fore plain that tho colored troops have fought nobly under the old Democratic banner. If this doesn’t put an end to Radical deviltry in the South, nothing short of a Red sea catastrophe can reach their case. Tennessee, Alabama, East and West Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina, and, at last, Georgia, redeemed, ought to teach even a more obstinate and thick headed, man than Grant that no chains can long shackle the people of this country. Living Beyond their Means. Buhver says that poverty is only an idea, nine cases of ten. Some men with ten thousand dollars a year suffer more for the want of means than oth ers with three thousand dollars. The reason is, the richer man has artificial wants. His income is ten thousand dollars, and he suffers enough from being dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sensitive man. A man who earns a dollar a day and does not run in debt, is the happier of the two. Very few people who have never been rich will believe this; but it is true. There are thousands and thousands with prince ly incomes who never kuow a mo ments peace, because they live above ■ their means. There is really moro happiness in the world among the working people than there is among those who are called rich. Sad Accident. —Man day morning ai the Southern bound freight train ot the Selma, Rome and Da’ton Road wat leaving Pinson’s Depot, Mr. Charloj Mills, the conductor, left his caboose for the purpose of going on the engine, and when he had gotten on the tender and was making bis way forward, he stepped on a stick of wood, which turn ed with him and threw him off, strik ing his head against a stump, killing him instantly.
