lust think of him whose work rhu? bejp~
To wear away the winter,
And put this query to yourself—
Have I paid the printer?
From east and west, from north and smith
From lands beyond the water,
lie weekly brings yon lots of news
From every hook and quarter;
No slave <>n earth toils more than he,
T irough summer’s heat And winter ;
How can you tor a moment then,
Neglect to pay the printer?
Your other bills you promptly pay,
Wherever you do go sir;
The butcher for his meat is paid,
- For sundries is the grocer ;
The tailor and the shoemaker.
The hatter and the vintner:
All get their pay—then why neglect x
To settle with the printer?

With my face at the sunshine,s mercy :
She with her lidt tippep down to her nost
And with iier nose tipped—vice versa:

And a hamper for lunchiug accesses:
She with the dait of her comely looks,
And th seine of her golden tfesses.
So we sat down on the sunny dike
Where the white pond-liliesteeter,
And I went ro fishing like quaint did Ike,
And she like Simon Peter
All the noon I lay in the light . j (ler eve*.

he tought school successfully for sever

iow engaged in, a business that he ha£
been enabled to carry successfully
through all the financial depressions of
the last few and ntaintaihed his
credit, without Having to press any
of liis customers to make ‘‘ends meet.”
He L always generous towards those
)f his customers that may be unfortu
nite. in their business enterprises, (thb
ve know from personal experience) and
ilways shows a desire to 1 iVe dud let

That ho is aunan of noble cxpulses

Permit me space enough to brief
ly refer tp.fjne oi the social events
)f the season, that has recently ta
ken place in our vilLl?/ On last
Thursday - cyoniitg.yqvr, correspon
dent, having, pveyipusly been hon
ored with an invitation, wended
bis wav to the residence, of Mr. VV.
C. Sloan to witness-. tlm .wedding
ceremonies of Ids charming and
accomplished daughter,- Miss Wil
lie, to Prof. Emerson, Ham. On
reaching the house We found in
■vaiting a large number of friends
gathered in the parlor, to grace with
their presence and approval the
happy occasion.
Soon after our arrival the bride,
attired in a handsome suit of silk,
•vas led into tlie room leading upon
the arm of the groom, and soon
the happy twain were united in
matrimony by Ifim -Mr; . Thomas,
of the Methodist GJrarch. After
the hearty congratulations of as
sembled friends and relatives, tlie
party w r efe invited, to am elegant
repast prepared tor the i occasion.
The tables fairly groaned beneath
a weight of good things, and would
have tempted the taste Of an expi
cure. A hove 'the' table was sus
pended tire’ dHoide Shoe ? of Good
Luck,” wbven '.from floral wreaths,
and down from' its tAiitre hung an
oval, belPshawed- 1 ilpwer, whose
crimson lips, tlldugh. silent; spoke
volumes, to cur hearts of 7wedding
bells." ■ After discussing the viands
to an almost unpardonable extent,
and wishing our young friends a
long life of married, love and hap
piness, we left .with only A regret
tkat wo did not have. a._ wedding
every week iii VleDonouglq
Early tlie next morning the bride
and groom, in company w ith a few
friends, ielt for Jackson, v here they
will spend the Tost days of their
honeymoon. ,V r av the tender feel
ings ‘whi hti e\ elierish now bloom

of their united loves and. lives, is

WOMAN’S SUPERIORITY. ‘
It was evideiitln some married
man who remarked: “A woman
is a strange beings and the more
you study her tlie more interesting
she appears. - : When a womanY
feet get cold she can draw the pi up
and sit on them until they become
warm, and no one is Urn wiser.
How she manages tlie. movement
is a inystefy,' but nevertheierS she
accomplishes it with quiet grace.]
w hich discounts the greatest sleight-!
of-hand performance that was ev- i
er invented. .This bit of informa-,
tion will doubtlest , astonish thou
sands of men who have- foolishly
imagined, that-.they could read a!
woman likq ahqokA but * what else
can be yxpevtpd. when- conceit; and
ignorance stalk thrcaigli . the lpnd?
Tlie idea that irai. . is .superior.' to
wopian ‘iiVeNerytbing.is.too absurd
to be cnUifained even a moment.
A man may practice for years; and
yet he unable to catch a Hera with
the skill 'hi ah diet ingui die - .•
woman. He will get fleas iU ins
socks, and when he undertakes to
capture them he lie clutches and
slaps frantically, but when he opens
his hand there is no game in sight
and a ,sad vacant stave settles on
his clannnv countenance. Does a
woman proceed in this rude way to
destroy the carnivorous insect?
N T o she locates its exact position,
and suddenly her hand dives down
like the swoop of an eagle, and the
next moment she is calmly rubbing
the life out of a flea between her
thumb and forefinger. A woman
may not be able to wing a bird with
a shotgun, but when she fires at a
ilea there is a funeral, and yet she
never goes around challenging oth
er women to a shooting match.
Her modesty will hot allow her to
boast of her deeds, Man is not and
never will be equal to woman in
some respects, and this* w<? trust,
has been clearly denied.
SCALPIMG BEX HILL.
Washington Maitli 81— The
Senate had its its Usual divertise
ment to-day in running debate,
wherein everybody hit a head when
he saw it. \\ hen the Mahone busi
ness came up Dawes got in a really
good hit on Hill, who read a letter
issued front the .Read juste r head
quarters iii October, 1880, by Ma
hone, in which lie alluded to the
Republican party the “Grip
sack” party. “Did the Senator
know What he meant - by the ‘Grip
sack* party?” inquired Dawes.
“No, Id< .n't,” said HiR. “I on
ly want to know what the Grip
sack party is.”. .
“Well,” said Dawes. ”1 don’t
know. They bate all sorts of par
ties South. I do , not know what
they represent.. r l lie Senator {from
Georgia odglit to know, and know
every phase of every political party
that ever existed,. for certainly if
anybody has..tried them .ill, it is
the .Senator from. Georgia. [Laugh
ter.] Ido not know any party that
the Senator has not given his ad
hesion to. 1, remember * a letter
writen by. Him after. Garfield’s elec-
advising everybody -to join
ihe Garlivh . party, nut! invoking
the public to come and join the
party which had succeeded. [Laugli
ter.J *That gee ms .to be the first
notion in the mind -of the .Senator
in hi.s pciiitH-.al sailing, about the
country to find out what party has
succeeded, au<j then to announce
his desire to go .with that party. I
thiiiß tie .said nobody eoiild tell
how much he loved. Gar tied, passing
the love of woman.”
Inis floored Hill. He did Vvrite
such a letter as this, hut the peo
ple had forgotten it.

and witnessed it die in its infancy,
have ilev'ef since regarded -the
prospect 6fi its . completion with
any degree of etHhuSiasn .■ Still the
completion ol the r< ad would be a
a ho no fit to Griffin, and should be
liberally encouraged: • Some of our
people are not m uivor of the road,
under the idea that it would cut

bed of affliction, the “man on the dark
horse” passed through our community
and taken from our midst one of our
most highly esteemed and dearly loved
follow ’ citizen, Mr. John M. Hodges/
and on Monday a dark shadow ol gloom
passed Through the county when it
was made known.
How sad! Cut down in the prime ol
manhood, by the dread desease eon
sumption. while surrounded by all tlio
ties that bind us to earth, a worthy
and estimable young wife, one little
daughter, floating Parents, loving sis
ters, and a large*circle of warm friends,
these, with an ample supply of
world’s good he possessed, but “he that
giveth taketh away,” lienee we should
not murmer at ihe dispensations of au
alwise providence, but while we stood*
at tire gaping tomb arid l’odked for thp
last time on the emaciated form ok
our friend and old comrade in arms, we;
could hot resist the thought that it would
have been better, could he have been
taken while marching to the canon’s
mouth, than to have been spared, to*
be wasted away, by the slow and tortur
ing disease, of consumption,, and .torn
loose from so many ties of a flection, but
the one who hath called him*
hence doetii all things well, and wd
have a strong hope that the affliction ol
the bcidy was to prepare the soul . fei
that liobler existence beyond the lane’
of tears.

“battle” that he lias fought, then let
us prepare, for the struggle that we may
be enabled to hear the pain with Chris

Rest on dear comrade, for we know,
that thou art only gone before and
