THE SWEETEST TIME FOR COURTING. ’Tis pleasant to sit by the parlor stove, When the coal is brightly glowing, On a winter night with your own true love, W hile the fierce northeaster’s blowing. But pleasanter far is the summer night, W hen the dew is on the roses, And fair Diana’s silvery light A beauteous scene discloses. Oh, then to wander through the groye, Where the breeze with balm is laden, And softly tell the tale of love To a fair and gentle maiden! Oh, the soft, the balmy summer night, When katydids are sporting, And w see the fire-flies flashing bright, Is the sweetest time for courting,^ —Albany Argus. A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO WOMAN* Of all the passions woman’s love is the holiest and purest and most steadfast. It is a flower that blooms alike in sun shine and shadow—an evergreen to the heart, a thing imperishable among the perishable. The object upon which she places her love and affection may, as is often the case, prove unworthy of her, yet she is unchangable; her clinging, ten der, holy love never falters. How often in our walk through life have we seen the grand reality of woman’s loye—have seen her entering the gilded saloon of in temperance and striving to win the hus band, father or brother away from the vintage that kills; aye even helping him who at the consecrated altar prom ised to love, cherish and piotect ner, up from the gutter with the filth of his deg redation upon him, and guiding his stag gering footsteps along the city’s streets, clinging to him amid it all, though her pure white brow be suffused with shame from the coarse jests of the passing crowd. With man it is different. lie may love fondly, and, as he thinks, devotedly, yet his love is subject to many temporary cessations; with the dear one out of sight his thoughts will too often stray to others, he will toy with beauty whenever he can, and for the time being forget her, who in thought, word and deed, is as true to him as the needle to the pole. Men will often indulge in what they term “a slight flirta tion,” that is, conceive a slight attach ment for some pure, gentle woman, accom pany her constantly in her walks and pastimes, and for the time being giye her every attention that is required of a pro fessed lover, then all of a sudden grow tired and desert her. This is dishonor able, ungentlemanly,and above all things, the most heartless and cruel thing he could be guilty of, for she may have con ceived a tender passion for him and the love of a pure, virtuous woman is the grandest, holiest tr ensure man can win It brings him a dream of heaven. If he has won her holy, sinless love, what rem edy has she? None. She cannot drive away her sorrowful memories by min gleing in scenes of gaiety and myrth. She cannot quench her sorrow in-the flow of the bottle, amid the clash of glasses, bec chanalian song, or go down to death amid the shocks of battle; no, she must pine in secret, ever hoping and longing for the false one’s return, yet ever doomed to dis appointment. Therefore we say to him who glories in a stainless manhood and untarnished honor, trifle not with wo* man’s love. HELP EACH OTHER. We fear the spirit to help each other is too little cultivated by many of us of the present day. In the pell raell rush for self and promotion of self interests, we too far forget and disregard the interests of our fellows. Now we are so constituted socially, and the duties and obligation ß resting upon us as members of a common brotherhood are such as that we cannot ignore them, live to ourselves and pros per. Our surroundings and relations in life are such, that we are to an extent de pendent upon each other. The man who shuts his eyes as it were to these facts, and becomes hermatie in his habits of life, falls far short of his mission upon the earth. Likewise the man who blunts his nobler sensibilities by a devotion of the talents which God has blessed him, with the sole view to the promotion of his own selfish ends and purposes in utter disre gard of the good of others, is also far out of the right way. Are not a visit a vast deal to many of us acting and working on this line? Have we forgotten that in division is weakness, in union is strength? If not, then let us cultivate that spirit of fellow feeling that prompts us to aid, that one, or the other, as far as may be in our power to do so. If we see a fellow man down under the cloud of adversity, and strug gling to dispel its gloom, by a kindly and timely act may add much to his efforts in this direction. If we see one in the clutches of an evil habit and struggling to rescue himself therefrom, a slight effort upon our part and a kind word of en couragement will add much more strength to his efforts, than a cold indifference and abuse. The National Educator tells the reader to place his shoulder and right foot length wise close to the wall of a room and lift his other foot from the floor. The thing is impossible, but the preformance seems so easy to the uninitiated that always some one can be found to make the attempt, which never fails to be awkward and amusing, besides being an excellent illus tration of the centre of gravity. For drunkenness,drink celd water; for health, rise early; to be happy, be hon est; to please all, mind your own busi ness. IIOW IS THIS FOR AN OUTRAGE ? Treatment on the Agent of the S. F. & IT, R’yat Jacksonville, Fla., by a Negro Policeman. A few thorough-bred, white skinned, straight-haired Georgians are evidently needed down at Jacksonville, Fia., to do missionary work. Read below, from the Jacksonville Times-Uuion, about the ar rest and treatment of tha agent of the S., F. & W. Rj, in that city, by a color ed policeman, a few days ago: “Yesterday morning a most unwar ranted assault was committed upon Mr. John A. Stephens, agent for the Savan nah, Florida A Western Railway in this city, by Polieceman HuggiDgs, of La Villa, which will bear a thorough exam ination. Mr. Stephens left the dopot to come to the city about 11 o’clock, and being in a great hurry walked very raidly un til when near the corner of Bay and Bridg& streets, where he met a couple of gentlemen who desired to see him on some business, and who stopped him. The two last named gentlemen were standing on the outer edge of the walk and Mr. Stephens stopped right in front of them, with his hand resting on the arm of one, and the position which he took did not occupy more than twelve or fifteen inches of the outer edge of the walk. They had not been standing there a minute when Huggings c ime up and told them to clear the walk, as they were about to do anyway, as Mr. Ste phens was on his way to the city to meet an engagement, but before Mr. Stephens had time to move, Huggings grabbed Mr. Stephens by the arm and with an oath informed him that he was a prison er. tried to remonstrate, but it was of no U3e. Huggings exclaim ed. “G—d d —m you, you are my prison er, and I will have you to go to jail,” whereupon he was dragged up through the heavy sand to the La Villa lock-up and theu told that by depositing $lO for bis appearance at court he would bo re leased, which he did and was then turn ed loose. While on his way to jail Hug gings remarked, “G—d d—m you, such men as you have got no respect for col ored folks, anyhow, and I am always glad to get hold of one of you to run in.” When Mr. Stephens told him that he would give him necessary bond for his appeareuce if there were any charges against him, the policeman ordered him to shut his mouth or he, Huggings, would break hie d—d head and lie was going to carry him to jail. On liis way to the jail he continued to abuse Mr. Stephens in the most dis graceful manner and frequently treated him to violent jerks and other insults. Mr. Stephens and his friends are very indignant at this outrageous insult, and if thero is any law by which Policeman Huggins cau get his just deserts, ho will certainly get them.” HE’LL DO. In the autum of 1830 a traveling book peddler, who afterwards became a suc cessful publisher and the head of a firm whose name is well known in the United States to-day, came to the door of a log cabin on a farm in E istern Illinois and asked for the courtesy of night’s lodg ing. There was no near inn. The good wife was hospital but perplexed, ‘ for,” said she “we can feed your boast, but we cannot lodge you, uuless you are willing to sleep with the hiied man.” ‘ Let’s have a look at him first”, said the ped dler. The woman pointed to the side of the house, where a lank, six-foot man, in ragged but clean clothes, was stretched on the grass reading a book. “He’ll do,” said the stranger. “A mau who reads books as hard as that fellow seems to, has got too much else to think of besides my watch and small change.” The hired man was Abraham Lincoln, and when he was President, the two meumet in Washing ton and laughed together over the story of their earlier reucoutre. GEORGIA’S PROSPERITY. Asa community Georgia is prosper ous, Because the public burdens are comparatively light; the privileges and opportunities are amply sufficient for all; the protection to Jife, liberty and prover t/ vouchsafed by law is equally guaran teed to every one, and there are none of sound mind and body who cannot if they will earn the necessaries and com forts of life. Every man is in a measure the architect of his own fortune, aud his rewards are dependent upon the proper exercise of bis talents. Ail are not talented in like degree, consequently all cannot earn rewards of equal value. The man in Georgia who is able to work and does not earn a comfortable living, cau attribute the failure to his own lack of energy oa talent. Malcontents and grumblers assert that Georgia is not a prosperous community. Probably they judge the Slate by their individually measure of prosperity. At auy rate, we defy them to controvert the st itemente here made. Charles Tong Sing, who was steward of the Jeonette and also a member of the Thetis rescae party, aud was afterward convicted of assault with intent to kill 1 another Chinaman, and sentenced to ' seven years’ imprisonment, has been par -1 doned by the Governor of New Jersey.

Try to keep busy. Leisure leads to idleness, idleness to bad associations, bad associations to drunkness, and drunkenutsi to shame and disgrace. Have nerve, have pride, have firmness, have a will to halt and you are armed against the worst of vices. No man ever drowned sorrow and trouble in the bowl, but many have made mountains of sorrow out of small hills of trouble. If your hand should get burnt, putting it in the fire will not cure it. Remember that this world is not a world of sunshine. There are days of sorrow for every one. Gloomy thoughts come to all. Men were not created to sip the pleasures of life like the gaudy winged butterfly to sip the summer flower, and then perish and die at the first cold, with ering touch of winter. Man was created for a purpose. He is happiest who makes others happy. Give courage to those around you by being brave yourself and there will be more sunshine and less shadows for you. THOUGHTFUL MOMENTS. The most completely lost of all day3 is the one on which we have not laughed.— Cham fort. He who is most slow in making a prom ise is the most faithful in the performance of it. —Rousseau. Society is a troop of thinkers, and the best heads among them taka the bast places.—Emerson. We attract hearts by the qualities wo display; wo retain the qualities we pos sess.—Suard. Scientific scrußny may take things to pieces but it can’t put them together again.—Wm. M. Hunt. If life, like the olive, is a bitter fruit, then grasp both with the press and they will afford the sweetest oil.—Richter. My answer to the question, how I was educated, end3 where it began; I had the right mother.—President Dwight. Pleasure has a fleet foot; let us enjoy what to-day brings. To-morrow’s store is beyond mortals.—Sophocles. When death, the great reconciler* has come it is never our tenderness that vve repent of, but our severity.—George Elliot. However well proved a friendship may appear, there are confidences which it should not bear and sacrifices which should not be required of it—Abbe Roux. They are not the best students who arc most dependant on books. What can be got out of them is at best only material; a man must build his house for myself.— George McDonald. History can be formed by permanent monuments and records; but lives can only be written from personal knowledge, which is growing every day less, and in a short time is lost forever. —Johnson. My experience goes to prove that the effect of wine, taken as a preliminary !o imaginative work, is to blind the writer to the quality of what he prodaces rather than to raise its quality. —Thomas Hardy. Beauty too often sacrifices to fashion. The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but the wilful; not the graceful, but the fantastic; not the superior in the abstract but the superior in the worst of all con cretes —the vulgar.—Leigh Hunt. Such a liberal education as will tit the man in due time to grapple most effectual ly,with my specialty, consists more in training than in acquisition. The man that is thoroughly master of his own powers will master any sphere or theme to which he is called.—President Bart lett. I consider there is no more respectable character on earth than an unmarried woman who makes her own way through life quietly, without support of husband or brother, and who retains in her po session a well regulated mind, a disposi tion to enjoy simple pleasures, fortitude to support inevitable pains, and sympathy with the sufferings of others.—Charlotte Bronte. “It is strange,’’said a New Yurk police c mrt just C), “how many cooks become drunkards. I knew as a fact that a large number cf iho best cooks in private families lose places and become wards of the island through their fondness of the bottle. I have seen the best of cooks in this court, and have seen some here who served in families that I kuesv well. I think their fault is due to the tempta tions they meet with. They generally have the liquors used by the families who employ them in their charge, and get into the habit of using them on the sly. From occasional slipping they form thedrunkard’s habit and meet the drunk ard’s punishment.” diV hat a miserable liar is man when b-, cannot believe himself. WORDS OF W ISDOM Truth, like tie sunbeam, cannot be soiled by any outward touch. It is the stru 'gle and not the attain ment that measures character. Imitation and' sham in any character are but synonyms for weakness. Good will and a good name is gained by many actions and lost by one. Depend upon it, he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good. Great gooJ often remains unaccomplish ed mereiy because it is not attenuated. Creed i3 meant to influence condueL Character is the aim and test of doctrine. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on tablets of eternity. Don’t judge a man by the noise he makes in the world. Two trade dollars in the pocket will make more jingle than SIO,OOO in bills. Beautiful souls are oftea put into plain bodies; but they cannot be hidden, and have a power all their own, the greater for the unconsciousness or humility which gives it grace. To repress a harsh answer, to confess a fault, to stop, whether right or wroi g, in the midst of self-defense, in gentle sub mission—these, sometimes, require a great struggle for life and death, but these three efforts are the golden threads of which domestic happiness is woven. Mrs. Francos Hodgsiu Burnett’s direc tions for writing a novel are as follows: You must have a pen, ink and paper. Use the first with brains, the second with imagination aud the third with geneuity.” A Polish couple c illed ou the clerk of courts in Luzerne county Pa., for a mar riage license. A few days after the dam sel came back with another for a licente, stating that the first young man was too pior to marry and he relinquished his right to her for the consideration of $5. Greenlawn cemetery in Indianapoli has a vault in which are several coffins for- years old. In examining one of these the sexton came to the body of a woman named Mary A. Mills, who died in 1816. The body wa3 petrified, aud after forty years the eyes of the corpse was blue. Old residents remember her as a comely French girl. The American, schoouer Highland Light, which was forfeited to the crown by Chief Justice Palmer and ordered to be sold, will be bought in by the Domin ion government and fitted up as a cruiser under the command of Capt. Loravy, who effected her capture. Though' the, last of the vessels captured under the treaty of 1818, she is the first confis scated. Probably the last letter ex-President Arthur ever wrote was addressed to Wil liam W. Wright, of Geneva, It was dated Nov. 13, and received the day of the writer’s death. It acknowledged the receipt of a sketch of Judge Folger by Mr. Wright, who, besides being an active politician, is a man of good Lterr ry taste, aLd was written in a firm, bold baud. The Empress of Japan gave pe.imis sion to the ladies of her court to appear before her, state occasions, in Eu o >ean dress. The Japanese Lave hither to been remarkable for their moral and social plasticity, and the efftcc of the new' order will no doubt result in a short time in the whole of the upper classes of Japan affecting European or American costumes. The Chattanooga Times says that while passing through the South Trede gar Works, Judge Kelly had his atten tion called to a colored lad who had fashioned a handsome shoe buttoner from a steele spika and a paper knife from another spike. He bought the tri ll ja from the boy and then said to tne gentleman who was piloting him : “That boy ought to be in one of our industrial schools, where he would have a chance to develop his evidently fine mechanical powers.’’ A short time ago several of the promi nent Republican organs declared that the ship builders of the country had com bined and would not submit any bids for the construction of the new cruisers, and the statement was given out with a howls of joy and a regular green-coru dance. That these newspapers hoped to embarras the administration by lyiug, is evident form the fact that the largest and most responsible ship building firms in the country submitted bids which arc very saisf -ctory to Secretary Whitney. Dining with the Sultan of Morocco is more of an honor than a pleasure, accor ding to the account of a recent visitor connected with the French Embassy. The Sultan is ever more of a spiritual monarch, a sort of crowned ex-officio, and therefore it is beneath his sacred diguity to dine in person with his guests, and he deputes a representative from his suite, i lie palace is too sacred a shriimi to be die scenes of such festivity,sbD|, dinner is usually-served in the C f • i town oi the summer place, outside in tLis Fez.

NUMB IK : 2 INDIANS iu:ahy to fh.mt. The 1' lorida Seminole* Kxasperuied, and Threaten a Ma>v;,ei e of the Whites. Jacksonville, Fla , December 9.—For several months past, according to reliable information which has just reached this city, bad feeling has existed between the Seminole Indians in Dade and Monroe counties, in the extreme southern portion Oi toe State, and a baud of cow boys encamped on Lake Okeecbabee. The cow-boys tend the herd of the south Florida cattle kings and the Indians j claim they have been driving on and kill ing their cattle and hogs. Demands of re dress were met by the cow-boys with threats of a resort to bullets. Three weeks ago the exasperation of the Indians reached a ciirnax, and several shots were exchanged, but whether with fatal effect is not known. War dances have been danced in the everglades during the past two weeks, and the bucks are said to have donned their paint and feathers. Many of the settlers have re moved their families to the islands along the coast for safety. ihe scene of the trouble is remote from railroad and telegrapaic communication and accurate particulars are almost unob tainable, It is reported, however, that a delegation ot Indian chiefs are en route to Titusville, the nearest town of any size, to lay their grievances before the mayor, whom they look up to as a big chief, and erroneously suppose invested with power to suppress the outrages. He can do nothing but notify the federal govern ment. Whether he has done so is not known, A gentleman who has just returned to the city from Titusville says the people on the outskirts of the everglades fear that a massacre of the whites will result if the trouble is not adjusted within a few days. The settlers claim that the Seminoles can muster five thousand fighters. Should they go on the war path,their suppression would be almost an impossibility, as the ever glade swamps are almost impenetrable to any one but the Indian inhabitants. Should news of an Indian outbreak reach the Apaches at Fort Marion and Pickens, it is feard they might become dangerous ly restive, though escape would be diffi cult if not impossible. ‘Beg pardon, sir,’ said a Chicago hotel cleik, as he tcck a very small gripsack handed him by a belated traveler, Who had come in on the 1 1 .30 p. m., and asked for a room, “but our rules require cash iu advnee from guests with little or UP baggage.
