Ode to OM Danger.
HY CRACKERS NRCK THE 2ND.
Old Dagger's dead, that good old dog,
* nat used to love slieep-meat so well;
O'er his eyes came a misty fog
The sheep bell tolled his funeral knell.
His bark I can no longer hear.
Ringing out on the midnight air,
His love of sheep did cost him dear,
He’s gone and 1 do not care.
He died by a persimmon tree
He gaped Ins mouth and wagged his tail,
In Danger’s place I would not be
For in killing sheep he did not fail.
A saddle girth was round his neck
To the persimmon tree made fast,
Ho was the scourge of Crackers Neck,
But I hope he has k'lled his last.
Some boys fired his funeral note,
In honor to his dear old name,
But as by chance a few stray shot,
Ended at once his life and fame.
He was sncli a trusty old dog
These boys should not have done him so,
But they threw him over a log,
All covered with bloody gore.
Old Danger’s dead, his old bow wow,
Has ceased to break the silent night,
He’s torn the ear of many a sow,—
The sheep did dread Idtn in their sight.
Fare well my dear old canino friend,
T would not desecrate your grave,
Yon come to an untimely end,
But many a sheep’s neck it will save.

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS!
Delivered at the Comntcnccnicnt of Fayette,
vllle Seminary.
BY MISS CAKRIIi 1). CAMP.
; Re.ij>ecU'l T< richer*
and Betored Class-mates :
The time of the singing of the birds has
come. And the voice of the turtle is
heard in the laud; and we poor pent-up
students are once more permitted to make
nur exit from the school-room for a season
of recreation. Seine, doubtless, leave
with much regret, knowing that their
school-days are o’er, that, to them, the
parting now will be final, that tliev will no
longer obey the summons of the school-bell,
no longer enjoy the pleasant society of
dearly loved school-friends. And what
Friendship so pure yet often evanescent!
The world has friends but alas! how mix
ed with selfishness! lion sinister the mo
tives that oftimes bind man to man in an
assumed friendship ! How often this mark
is used by one that ho may bury the dag
pi'all the deeper in ilia neighbors vitals !
That In; may appropriate fbe purse, the
character, the stainless reputation of his
fellow ! But how different the friendship
<'f the school-room! There the human
heart first develops its faculties, while
still pure and fresh from the family circle;
with nil its impulses nolle, all its aspira
tions high, untainted by contact with the
outer world and its many corruptions and
temptations! Thus the student is usher
ed into this miniature world, all is bright
around him! The light heart and clear
conscience beams forth from still clearer
eyes as lie steps upon this new stage of
life, the sreona in man’s journej ftoin the
cradle to the tomb; there to encounter
others like himself; whose hearts like his
know no guile but ever ready to dictate a
kindly act. How soon the silken links of
the purest friendship bind such youthful
hearts together! ’lo those then who are
about to leave these halls forever, no
doubt the parting farewell will he sorrow
ful, and the nnbidden tear may nncon
ciously spring from manly eyes. Yet
those who anticipate a speedy return can
go forth rejoicing. For no matter how
much the student loves his books the true
stm.ent loves nature better and longs to
hold communion with her in field and
forest, on river banks and by the gushing
sweet, warbling, mountain brooks. On
hill and dale lie roams as lie peruses the
pages of that book which mother nature
has spread before us with ever bounteous
laud, bidding all, without distinction of
rank or grade, to read aud he wise. Yes
this is the students first text hook. Iu this
he may place implicit reliance. It con
tains no For its author is the
very acme of perfection- The hand that
writes it is divine. And though anew
edition is issued every spring yet eiich is
itself is perfect. The student who jnas
teis this book is master of the world ; and
he who only superficially glances o'ei it
—-though he may be learned in the wis
dom|and love of schools, yet, has he lived
iu vain. Thb latter, however, is essential
to a successful study of the former.
Hence we mu6t return to cur school
hooks after onr brief vacation is o’er, there
to drink deep at those Hesperisn fountains,
i whose waters can alone satisfy the soul
, that thirsts after knowledge. To you.

GREENESBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1860.
I if™"?® 1 !*** y° n ’ doni for Set Payette-
I Vine Seminary. Dotit forget the faithful
instructions of a teacher, whose fidelity to
us can only be equaled by our affection
for, and our unbounded confidence in him.
And dont forget that while here you were
pure. And strive to remain so ; and when
in the eager strife for wealth, honor, and
happiness the hour of temptation comes,
remember, Oh ! remember, that the great
est wealth tiie highest honor is trash when
obtained at the expense of virtue. Then
with principle for your guiding star let
your ambition fce exalted, remembering
that there is no position in this free and
happy country to which you may not as
pire. Though at. times clouds may hover
above you and the light of the star of hope
be obscured for a time, let. not your hearts
be heavy. Men sometimes think that
the high, dark cliffs of sorrow will darken
their stream of life forever. But suddenly
the green and undulating meadows spread
far away in pastoral beauty, and the daises
bloom along the brooks where the willows
hang with bending gracefulness.
To you my fellow pupils who return, let
the vacaut seats once filled by your less
fortunate companions admonish you. that
jou too must soon go forth to battle with
the world ; no longer pensioners tipon tl>e
bounty of • hLJ parent. You will liter,
uupnn With your destiny in your own
bands for weal or fur woe as you may im
prove the talent God has given vou and
the means that a kind Providence has
placed at your disposal wherewith to im
prove that talent. Let incentives such as
these urge you forward in the paths of
learning; stimulate yon to a still greatei
steal in the pursuit of that knowledge
which is not only power Out happiness.
For in that proportion that man is eleva
ted above the brute, in the expansion of his
intellect, in his increased fund of informa
tion, in >t he refinement of his tastes in the j
| same proportion is lie brought nearer that i
deity in whose image lie was ma le, and to i
whose characteristics he was intended to
assimilate! Let us ail then both those
who remain and those who go strive to
plaee our names high up in the galaxy ol
the great and good !
To our beloved teachers, what can I
say ? Shall I say our hearts go ferth to
you as the little rivulets seek the parent
stre.ain ? But yon all know this! Through
all the perplexities of a teachers life, to ns
you have ever been kind; ever ready to
lend the helping hand. When we per
chance were careless and indifferent it was
your kind admonitions that wood us back
to duty. No harsh disconlant notes from
you drove us back to unintelligible tasks,
but the wining voice of friendship told
where the path of duty lay and tiie lucid
expositions of profound learning made all
things plain. To you we owe a life long
grnttitude! And will you not forgive
aught that lias been amiss in us l Your
position is surrounded by many perplexi
ties; your duties are very arduous, and no
doubt you oftimes despond ; yet —cheer
np, for heaven’s richest benigns await
the faithful teacher. Hereafter may your
pathway be strewn with sweetest flowers,
whose fragrauce shall ascend to Heaven
freighted with the incense of your pupils
affections.
And now, respected teachers, and be
loved * classmates, we have reached our
parting spot. It is sad to think that the
evening shadows are closing around so
bright and so beautiful a day ; a day lit
for one half a year by the kind smiles and
sweet voices of those we esteem and love.
But reg.ets are vain. . Perhaps many of us
may reassemble soon to the pleasant tasks
associated with these walls; perhaps oth
ers of us are destined never to meet again
on this clime and troubled shore. One of
our number has passed away, and in early
youth and blooming mauhood. lias gone
down to the cold grave. The young gen
tlemen of the school have held a meeting
and passed resolutions indicative of their
regard for bis character, and their grief
for his irreparable loss. In behalf of thb
young ladies my Schoolmates, 1 beg leave
to say that we too concur in the feelings
expressed by I hose resolutions; we too
heartily concur in the feeling and eloquent
remarks made by one of our respected
principals in his able eulogy on Monday
night. Under the shadow of this unto
ward affliction we part. Let us part in
peace and love and let us ever pray lor
each others weal if we meet no more.
To the young gentlemen of the school,
who through their committee so kindly
invited me to deliver this address, I return
my sincere thanks for the flattering mani
festations of their confidence in one so in
experienced as myself: and Ido but re-
Ct that it has not been worthier; hut in
testy of purpose at hast we have spo- 1
ken. And now there is a word that must
he spoken, a word that over trembles on
the lips, as trembles the note of the sad
vesper hell floating o’er western seas—a
word tbat is ever portentious of a lost
Pleaid in the heaven of the spirit—a woid
tbat has often withered the one oesis in the i
desert of the heart—a word that tells we j
know not what of change and disaster ere we j
off shall meet again—a word that lies!
like a gloomy western heaven at the close
of every radiant day of earthly commune j
—a word that we are loth to utter and
‘vet we utut|. That eloquent word is
Farewell! And with Byron the proud
unhappy bard of English song, we say :
Farewell! a sound that must be and hath been:

Making Fun.
Once when traveling in stage coach
I met a young lady who seemed to be
upon the constant look out for something
laughable; and not content with laughing
herself, took great pains to make others
do the same.
Now, traveling in a stage-coach is rath
er prosy business. Peoploin this situation
are apt to show themselves peevish and
selfish; so the young lady’s good humor
was, for a time, very agieeablo to the
travelers. Every old barn was made the
subject of a passing joke, while the cows
and liens looked demurely on, little dream
ing that folks could be merry at their ex
pense. Allthis perhaps, harmless enough.
Animals are not sensitive in that respect.
They are not likely to have thoir feelings
injured becanse-poople make fun of them;
but when we come to human beings that
is quite another thing. So it seemed to
me; for after awhile an old lady came
running across the field, swinging her hag
at the coachman, and in a shrill voice beg
ging him to stop.
The good-natured coachman drew up
his horses, and the good old lady coming
to the fence by the roadside, squeezed her
self thro’ two bars, which were not only in
n horizontal position, but very near togeth
er. The young lady in the stage-coach
made some ludicrous remark, and the pas
sengers laughed. It seemed very excusa
ble; tor in gating through the fence the
poor woman had made sad work with her
old black bonnet, and now taking a seat
beside a well dressed lady really looked
as if she had been blown there by a whirl
wind. This was new a piece of fun, and
the girl made the most of it. She carica
tured the old lady upon a card; pretended,
when she was not looking, to take patterns
of her bonnet, and in various other ways
tried to raise a laugh. At length the poor
woman turned a pale face toward her.
‘My dear,’’ said she, ‘yon nre young,
healthy and happy ; I have been so too,
but that time lias past; T am now decrepit
and forlorn. This coach is taking me to
the death-bed of my child. And then, my
dear, I shall be a poor old woman, all alone
in a world where nn-rry girls think me a
very amusing object. They will laugh at
my old-fashioned clothes, and odd appear
ance, forgetting that the old woman has a
spirit that has loved and suffered and will
live forever.”
The conch now stopped before a poor
looking house, and the old lady feebly
descended the steps.
‘•How is site?” was the first trembling
inquiry of the poor mother.
“Just alive,” said the man who was
leading her into the house.
Putting up the steps, the driver mount
ed his box, and we were upon tbe road
again. Our merry young friend had plac
ed her card in her pocket. She was lean
ing her head upon her hand; and you may
be assured 1 was not sorry to seo tears
upon her fair young cheek. It was a good
lesson and one which wo hoped would do
her good.
What I Begin to Believe.
‘.Bubbles,” of the California Golden Era j
furnishes that paper, under the head of!
“Notes and Cogitations,” with the fol
lowing:
I begin to believe that, now-a-days,
money makes the man, and dress the gen- 1
tleman.
I begin to believe that the purse is more
potent than the sword and the pen togoth-!
er.
1 begin to believe that those who sin ‘
the most during the week are most devo'ut;
upon Sundays.
1 begin to believe that honesty is tbu i
best policy—to speculate with until you !
gain every body's confidence; then lino
your pcckets.
1 begin to believe in humbugging the
people out of tlieir dollars. It is neither
stealing nor begging, and those who are
humbugged have themselves to blame.
I begin to believe that man was not
made to enjoy life, but keep himself mis
erable in tliepursuit and possession of rich
es.
I begin to believe that the surest reme
dy for hard times and a tight money mar
ket is an extravagant expenditure on the
part of individuals—to keep the money
moving.
1 begin to believe that none but knaves
are qualified to bold office uudei tbe gov
ernment —with the exception of a sow na
tural-born fools and lunatics.
I begin to believe, that piano fortes arc
more necessary in a family than meat and
potatoes
I begin to beiievc that a boy who doesn't
swear, smoke and chew tobacco, may he
a very good boy, hut is naturally stupid.
I begin to belive that if the devil should
die, one-half of the world would be thrown
out of employment.
I begin to believe that he has the most
merit who makes the most noise in his own
behalf; and that when Gabriel comes—not
to be behind the times—he too, will blow
bis own horn pretty loud.
Ey It is said that Joe Lane iu las maim-
I scripts begins his own naino with capital
letters and God Almighty’s without ’
Terms—Bl,so Always In Advance.
Financial Maxiins.
The annexed bits of wisdom are from
Thompson’s New York Reporter:
j Don’t have too much commiseration for
the accomplished, amiable, and charming
wife of a defaulter, until you know that
she has not, by extravagance and pride,
induced him to use money not Ins own, or.
to speculate with a view to gratify her
wishes.
Don't think you are making a Laigiun
when you are cheating a customer, for, iu
the long run, all such operations will turn,
out quadruple losses.
Don’t lend money at too great a shave
for the borrower must succeed, or he’ll not
be able to pay.
Don’t neglect your regular business,
thinking to do better at some outside en
tnrpise; the chances are ton to ouc you
will not succeed.
Don’t go to law in a hurry; exhaust tho
rational before you attempt to exhaust tLo
legal remedies.
Don’t get excited about politics unless
you are quite sure that the election ot
your candidate will be better for your busi
ness, and for the country, than the other
I man,
Don't be too severe on others for not
thinking as you think, that they may
excusoyou for not doing ns they do.
Don't condemn others for their inherited
or God endowed peculiarities; for could yon
but so,e yourself as you see others, your
con lernnation might come home.
Don’t bo too smart; it is tho instinct of
man to give the extreme smart ones, of
both genders, a wide berth.
Don’t be as the dog iu the manger; for
some bull may give you a toss.
Don't judge until you have heard both
sides of the case.
Don't get on stilts in prosperity, nor on
your knees in adversity; for what goes up
inust come down, hut what goes down
don’t always come up,
ttratli-Warrant of Gar Lord,
“Chance,” says the Courier des Etats
Unis, “has just put into our hands tho
most imposing and interesting judicial
document to all Christians that has ever
been recorded in human annals ;” that is,
the identical death-warrant of our Lord Je
sus Christ. The document was faithfully
transcribed by tbe editor iu these words:
