What the doing in Jasp

Pine Hill. Jap*r on.. Oa. Feb. loth
18S1,
S*oing nothing in your paper for
some time concerning our podiile, I
thought I would write you a short
communication and give a sketch of
th<* progress we* are making.! must
say that up to this time there lias
been the fewest number of new rails
put on feiicen', and the least amount
of building and repairing done on
plantations generally that I have ev
er seen, up to this time. 1 have
-been traveling around, through the
county some little of late, and T see
the fewest number of fields that Ims
had a plow in them to sow oats,
which, I believe is generally the first
thing done on the farm. There is
some localities the farmers *have
done some work*, I was at Glades
ville the ffrst Saturday in this month
and-notice more work done on the
river hills' in that part of the coun-
ty than any where else, I only ac
counted for that in this way : the
greater portion of the land sets lip
edgcwjse amlthose people who wort
•both sides of their land for a living
have’taken the advantage of all this
wind-aiid r{iiny weather bv working
one side of the hill while it rains on
the other* aj*<>in this way they have
worked all around* during the
change of the. wind, and hence we
must conclude that it is an “ill wind
that blow.? good to no man, ’’ taking
all in all it maybe thp besj, ouplands
is not they would have
been if plowed- up, our fences is not
blown down, as if they’d-been reset
jand made high, our orchards not
likely to bloom early and get killed,
,as is common, the croj) wil 1 be a
great help to our people this time,
for we.find more of them wanting
'some, merchant to run them this
year than evor before, and we. expect
.when, fall oom,es they, will be “run, -5
and wluit they, will then think of the
race we leave £m- them to tell. We
have about twenty country st ores in
our county and more going up, at

We have no charges to bring a

else as he is a right good clobber
with any kind of mud, and we would
like to have him put a few splotches

our Jasper county Hawk will not o
pen his eve soon, we saw him the
other day passing the road and think
from the way he was traveling he was
going after something to finish his
nest, we also saw the editor maj.
John C. Key going in the direction
of Monticello* with a load of corn in

feed the Hawk with. I want you to

WHAT I LIVE VBR.
I live for those that love hie,
For those f know, are true,
For the heaven thkt sniik f above me,
And awaits mV spirit, tpo ;
For all human t)V;it’bmd me,
B’or the task mV, God in*.signed me,
For the dright ftbpe.4 left’behind me,
And the good Mint I cap do,
I live to learn, their story,
Who’v suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory
And follow ip their wake
Bards, martyrs, patriots, sages,
, The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crown hi story’-s pages
And tines greajt make,
I live to hail that seafsop.
By gifted minds foretold, #
When men shall live by reiuoih
And not alone for gold*)
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shail be lighted,
As Eden was of old.
I live to hold communion,
With all that is divine,
To feel that there is union
Twixtmiture’s head and mine;
To profi tby afflict ion
Reap truth fronvfields of fiction,*
Grow wiser from conviction —
Fulfilling God’s design.
I live for those, that love me,
For those that know rap true,
For the hyaven spiifes above me,
And awaits mv spirit, top,
For the wrongs that’rwed resistance,
For the. cause that needs assistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.
The Farmer and the Merchant.
Written for the Pike County News.
Whether hot or eokl, or wet as can be,
Some things there, are I Jo not Mice to see ;
One is, a thriftless fnmier-all icslorn

When both are raised upon his land.
Whether hot or cold, , that fiirmer can

Short crops or sickness, T not what
Heal ways svimdhiug to boil In the
pi t.
But when lie buys and for- credit asks
Of the merchant, besides lus other tasks
The hardest still, of plowing, hoeing, all
Is to meet that debt in the early fall.
And what of the merchant if no rain
comes —
If that farmer is lazy, and rests his bones
Instead of lighting grass and stirring
ground ?
Is his prospect good, bis investment
sound ?.
Xo! his sanguine hopes “go up a spoilt,”
And ho spends his time in riding about
The country all over, to collect in cash
To keep his credit feoi going to smash.
When his goods are gone—money and
credit ton.
All! tell me, ■what is the merchan to do?
Take down Ms sign and close his door
And come out poorer than be was before !
And wind of the farmer? Can take anew
start
If he plays hfs hand both good anil smart,
He can save an egg or two in ltis pocket
nest
And move to “Sand Mountain” along
with the rest,
To go-ii ofieemore, in trying his luck
And show to the world that he Iras plnck !
And what of tire farmer if he pays the

For com aod bacon and other like trash
He rondel raise at home as well as not ?
Won’t there be something to boil in the

Yes !• hut only so* tong as the cash holds

And then liis dinner will go up a big

Unless the merchant if ill give relief,
When the latter you know, he comes to

So king as the'cash lwitds out,

UN DISCIPLINED TEMPERS
Of all things that are to be met
with here on earth ‘thereis nothing
that can give such continual sych
cutting sUjCli .useless pain as an cn
disciplined teippoa- tig). touchy and
sensitive temper which takes
offence at a word, the irritable tern
per which find offence in every
thing whether intended, or not the
violent temper which breaks through
all bounds of reason when once
roused the jealous or sullen temper
which wears a cloud on the face all
day and never utters a word of com
fort in the discontented temper
brooding over its own wrongs the
severe temper which always look
the worst side whatever is done
the willful temper which overrides
every scruple to gratify a whim what
an amount of pain have they caused
in the hearts of men! How many
a soul have they stirred to evil impul
ses how many a prayer have they
stifled how.man v an emotion of true
affection have they turned to bitter
ness ;how hard they make all duties
how they kill the sweetest and war
mest of domestic charities. 11l tem
per is a sin requiring long and earful
diseiplin.
A young man generally gives a lock of
hairdo his sweethears before he marries
