A STORY OK THE TIMES.
About the time of the last Slate election, and w hile |
the parly spirit ran high, an energetic Know Nothing j
canvasser, in a very fiery speech, delivered in Mill
ville, Worcester county, Mass., worked the foreign
population up to a point of indignation past all en
durance. The day following, a crowd of Irishmen
were collected in the street, brooding over their t'an
.id injuries, a gentleman named Holden, noted fbr
liis eccentricity, advanced among them, and to their
great delight commenced a violent denunciation of
the new party. Beneath his magic influence, the
alien audience became, in their own estimation, tlu
pillars of our republic, and as he warmed in his sub- j
|ei t, Know Nothingism withered to a bare name un
der Ids searching touch, while cheer after cheer
hurst from ihe excited throng, now rapidly increa
sing.
” Who,” asked lie, “built our railroads'-”
“Irishmen,” was the enthusiastic reply.
“Who dug our canals.'’
“Irishmen!”
■\\ ho built our State Prisons and our Alms!
Ilou es?”
‘"lrishmen!” thundered a hundred voices.
“Who till them?”
Waiting in vain for a reply, their whilom chain- |
pion, clenching his lists, shouted
“Ihikumfn!- voi iii.v ll j*- Iki-mimcx!”
DIMM AT SEA IN A GALE.
The following graphic scone on shipboard is <le- i
picud by a correspondent of the Philadelphia Bui- j
letin “There is but a step from the sublime to the |
ridiculous, from the deck to the saloon. It is rather I
too much trouble for a lazy man to eat on shipboard i
in rough weather, It would require a man to have
the hundred hands of Briarens tn,d the hundred
< yes ol \vgus, and to keep them ail in constant oc
cupation, too, to dine in safety, to say nothing of
comfort - for that, nndcr the circumstances, is to
tally out of the question. You have to hold on to
your plate to keep it near you; to hold on to your
.■la ot water tOavoid the unnecessary luxury of an j
extempore shower bath; to hold on to yourself to I
keep yourself at the table; to bold on to the table to j
k op yourself oil’ of the lop of it, and away from
\ our neighbors. Besides (bis, to dodge or defend
yourself, as the ease may he, flout the Hying dishes
that occasionally make little excursions on their own
responsibility. A man that can get his victuals on
board n ship in a storm can get his living anywhere;
be need have no fear of the future, so far at least as
eating is concerned.”
JOHNSON AND SWIFT.
l)f. .Johnson being one evening in company with
-..in. of the first-rate liter.<ti of theage, the eouver
iti.-n turned chiefly upon the posthumous volumes
ot “swift, which had nm hr on long published. After
hnving sat a good while collected in himself, amt
looking ns if he thought himself prodigiously supe
rior in point of erudition to his companions, he
roundly asserted, in his rough way, “that Swift was
. shallow fellow—a very shallow fellow.” The in
genious Mr. Sheridan, not relishing so despotic an
assertion, and, in his opinion, so false an one, as he
almost venerated the Kean of St. Patrick's literary
talents, replied warmly, but modestly, “Pardon me,

Got a scolding wife have yon? Welt its your own

and w hen their tempers get crossed, its the men that

night. Slamming doors, and kicking everything
that lay in the way right and left -because--—well
you could not tell for the life of you what it was for.
Suppose you bad been laying your face under embar
smiling go all day, tor those who eared nothing for
you, and nodding, homing and hawing, and wanting
to get where von could enjoy a superlative ill nature.
No wonder your w ile was cross, getting supper
with the baby in her arms! Why didn’t vou take
the baby and trot and please: “Room was all in
confusion, why didn’t you put it ro rights?” “You
want a little rest?” So does your wife, and she gets
precious little, poor woman. You are at your shop
walking briskly through the sunshine this bra
ck's weather reading the paper—-meeting friends
and acquaintances sitting cosily in the office. She
is af home with clinging arms dragging about her
neck, loving, but still wearisome at times. She is
dependent upon the call of a neighbor for a little
break up, in her monotonous life, or the opening of
a window upon a stunted yard for what fresh .in
comes- wake up, man alive, and look into the mat
ter. Put on vonr best smiles the moment your foot
touches the door step. Trent the little room to a
broad grin, and your wife to a kiss. Give the ba

You miss the complaining tone, and scolding and

WORKING GIRLS.
Happy girls! win. cannot love them? With!
cheeks like the rose, bright eye- and elastic .step
how cheerful they go to work.

wives. Blessed indeed will those men be who se
cure such prizes. Contrast those wlio do nothing

earn the bread they eat, nor the shoes they wear;!
who are languid and hi/.y from one week’s end to an

prefer oue of the latter, it he were looking for a
companion?
Give us the working girls. They tire worth their
weight in gold. Von never see them mincing along,
or jumping a dozen feet to steer dear of it spider or

When they meet you, they speak without putting
ton a dozen silly airs, or try jug to show off to better
advantage; and yon feel as if you were talking to a
human being, and not to a painted or fallen angel.
H girls knew how sadly they miss it, while they
endeavor to show off their delicate hands and uii

give worlds for the situation of working girls, who

V* 11.1. Pol.lTff.il, PARTIES HO TO TRUST’
l.ver since the nomination of Mr. Overby, our
ears have, been continually assailed with an un* ea
sing, infernal din, about the practicability of pursu
ing such a course. Many temperance men, real
friends to the cause and conscientious in ilieir be
lief, and all office seekers, who arc not troubled with
conscientious sensations on any subject, have all the
time advisd the friends of Prohibition, to attach
themselves to someone of the dominant parties,
and thus be passively tow ed into port, or left to the
tender mercies of the political current, as it suited
the whim or interest of party leaders. We <>nce
fondly hoped that this would be the best plan, but
subsequent events proved ivr were wrong; and still
more recent developments have only the more
strongly confirmed us in the belief, that trusting
Temperance in the hands of spoil-seekers is about
as wise, as it would be to commit a cherub of light
to the watchful care of a fiend of darkness.
History proves the .justness of our conclusion.—
Jenkins and Johnson, both professing to lie excel
lent temperance men, according to agreement among
themselves, after the fashion of the < ’oiineii of Nice,
decided that the Temperance movement was riot or
thodox, that the agitation of the subject v i-prema
ture, ihat // inmJtl not at ,t//, and they accord
ingly met and solemnly strangled the intant reform.
Many of Georgia's best sons, sensible, patriotic, con
servative citizens—true lovers ot their country were
outraged at this cool, calculating barter of princi
ples for political purposes—this prc-ineditatod, cold
blooded act of non-committal in reference to a sub
ject, upon the decision of which, the destiny of thou
sands hangs. After this, the sovereign raters peti
tioned their scereru/s, the iair-mokr/s. and their pe
tition was a subject for the contempt, scorn, and
low w it of perhaps as ignorant ant! drunken legisla
tors as ever disgraced a State capitol. Some of the
Temperance men then began to see that parties
would riot do to irust, and finally determined to act
lor themselves, which they did, by nominating
Overby for Governor. Others, of the friends of
Temperance, still were in favor of the old plan.—
: The democratic convention met, nominated .Johnson,
| constructed a most incongruous platform from a pile
of refused lumber, the distinguishing peculiarities
‘of which were the intinito variety of planks it con
j tainod, and the distance apart they were placed, in
order to allow the representatives of every shade of
; political faith, a separate plank to stand upon, vvith
’ out crowding an old enemy. Hut strange to say, in
all this wonderful piece of skillful workmanship,
there was not a single plank introduced for tbetem
perancc men to iK'eupy. The great quusiion of the
(day was ignored, and Icmperance democrats driven
from the platform Still our faithful temperance’
; men. whose faith was of the sort that remove moun
tains icij/io’it >, trusted to the
Know yColhihg
1 party. In this tiaUfy, they told us rested the hopes
i of the Prohibitionists. This parly was the wonder
! ful Hercules that would crush the J.ernean Hvilva of
i Faction, and cleanse the Augean stables of polities,
i Well, they met, and if we have heett informed cor
i redly, a few of the most consummate jugglers hur
: ried proceedings, and without the knowledge of
j many subordinate lodges nominated Andrews for!
Governor. Their platform was a most excellent!
specimen of praiseworthy skill in political media-1
nism. it was much wider than all other platforms
in fact included all others—a grand epitome of all
! principles in morals, religion, and politics, appro
j ving of almost every thing, from the existence of a
J God, down to the acquisition of Ctiha. Hm a ]j‘
| this rigmarole list of vote-catching resolutions, not
I nnr word- is said of Prohibition—not a syllabic ut
| tired about the greatest question of theage.
I Thus have all parties ignored <nr principles, and
| thus trill they ignore them, until Prohibitionists
witii that indejiendent spirit which ought to char
acterize freemen, rally around a standard borne by
an exponent of their principles and without looking
to the right or left, go right on to the goal of success
that always awaits those who act from principle.
We do hope that our friends have now lost all confi
dence in all other parties, and will rely upon them
selves alone. I.et ns do this and success i ours.
1 I.et our triends in every county organize and send
Temperance men to the Legislature. Let Prohibi
j tiotiisN throughout the Mato unite hand and heart
1 tor the election of Overby. We would vote for him,
. if we knew he. would not get ten votes in the State,
| and if he is defeated vve will nominate him imme
diately for the next heat The Prohibitionists will
; never find a better plan than to form themselves
into a separate party organization, and if they were
ito search the world, they could not find a U tter
standard bearer—an abler exponent of their princi-
I pies than H. U. Overby. *
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
A writer in the Georgian .A Press, after h.ivjng
mentioned some reasons why the Prohibitionists
cannot “lash themselves on to any party organiza
tion” says:
“Therefore wo are left no other alternative but to
rally under an independent flag, and tight to the
death—well knowing, that if we fail, we full a- glo
rious martyrs. We are resolved in the name of
God, and our country, to put this ball in motion.
We must haven Prohibition party. Call it political
it you like it—sot it aims at a social reform. It is
about as much political on the one hand, and as
much religious on the other, as would he an anti
murder, or an anti-theft party, if there were not al
ready existing laws against these latter vices. An
anti-liquor law is as reasonable and necessary as
either of the others. We repeat it, we must have a
permanent party, whose unchangeable purpose is to
seeure a law against the liquor traffic, and shouid
we tail of success in our lifetime, w C will report
progress, annually, ami mention the enterprise, in!
our last will and testament a- x pan of the iriher!
lance bequeathed to our children, with the solemn
injunction that they will :tili prosecute the work
which we may lent*- unfinished.”
Would that ev.-ry friend of Prohibition through-!
.out the length and breadth of Georgia, could be j
bold enough to avow Mich sentiments, and act ao- 1
cording Iv. It is the onlv way that we can ever ac- 1
jeoinplish anything (oi our cause. To talk of co
operating with any of the political parties in our
•State, with the hope, that they will adopt our senti
ments and carry them out in their policy, i.- to talk
nonsense—perfect stuff! Who that can rend the
history of the past, and observe the revelations of
every day, in our political press and conventions,
will have the hardihood to deny that, after our votes
‘are received, our principles are ridiculed as vision
ary, and our remonstrances received with open, un
disguised contempt? It has ever been so, and al
ways will be, until the Prohibitionists, acting out
the resolution of the above exiraet, organize a party
on their own principles, and keep it organized til!
the evil is removed, the law passed, and not only till
the law is passed, but until officers are elected from
the Temperance ranks, to sec that it is enforced. —
A on might as well attack an elephant with popguns,
or talk Hebrew to a Hottentot, as to try to persuade
a politician, unless you have the rotes to compel him.
The most of our whisky-barrel politicians would
make hay out of the gras- on their mother’s graves,
sell their dwarfed souls for the votes of ignorant
drunkards, and exchange all their hopes of Heaven
for a x./ifiU office in Hell!

“U v understand that the nomination of Judge An
drews, lot* Governor, by the Know Nothing Conven
tion, is regarded as highly acceptable to the Temper
ance Party, and that Mr. Overby, the candidate of
that party, will withdraw from the canvass in favor
of the former.”
” e take- the above from the Savannah Morning
News of last Tuesday. We think it will be an item
of news to the Temperance men. Some papers Like
particular pains to circulate this rumor, in the fare
of a plain denial of its truth. Is the “wish father to
the thought?'’ Air. Overby has no intention of with
drawing, unless he has changed very much lately ;
and we presume that all will admit, ho is not a very
changeable man. Andrews and Johnson tnav with
draw', Gut we hardly think Overhv will. If he does,
we will he apt to hear cf it and will he certain to say
something; about it. Some of our brethren’ of the
Political Press are so expert at the business of mak
ing and remodeling their own opinions, that they
inanfaclure public opinion gratis. *
i> v e rbvTyTexingto.v.
We take pleasure in stating that the people of
Oglethorpe are awakening to a sense of their duty,
in relation to ihe Prohibition movement. Mr. Over
fly addressed them at Lexington, on Saturday last.
A large and intelligent assembly of people came out,
and gave him a calm and patient hearing, and being
present ourself, we can state as having seen, that
the impression made upon his audience was deep
and abiding. We are sorry to sav Oglethorpe has
hitherto been dilatory in taking steps upon this
great subject, and some of the citizens went out pre
pared i> respond to the speech, but the moving ar
gument “Lkh 1 ’ Orator, falling upon them like the
crushing, blows of the lion-hearted Richard, and cut
ting like the’keen Scimitar of Aladin, divested them
of their puerile intentions, and they went away con
finned Prohibitionists. Mr. Overby has left many
genuine and influential citizens iri Oglethorpe to wa
ter the seeds w hich he has sown, and we trust, ere
long, to see them springing- up and yielding an
abundant harvest.
ATTENTION! “BEEF OF SOCIETY.’’
We would call the attention of that very respectable
j. and if eighty class of people, vulgarly called “The
P.eef of Society,’’ to the following spicy, juiry, fat,
j paragraph on tat men, taken from the lectures of
! Henry Giles. We feel certain that the author him
self could not be otherwise than a fat, jovial, good
hearted lover of bis species—a real philosophical
cultivator of abdominal diameter. No lean, lank, ca
daverous specimen of a disjointed, rattling anatomy’,
could perpetrate such round, plump, graceful and
ease-inspiring thoughts. No gaunt, loose-skinned,
bile-engendering hater of his fellow-man, could have
so thoroughly saturated every idea and opinion with
the “milk of human kindness.” Get you an easy’,
comfortable seat, in a cool, shady place, one of these
hot days, when you are in a “melting mood,” and
see if Giles did not understand the matter —see if
his sentences don't flow like they were greased, and
I the thoughts oo?e out of his mind in large round
drop-, like perspiration out of a fat man’s body.— j
Use your handkerchiefs and read. ■* j
“There is something cordial about a fct man. Ev- j
cry body likes him, and he likes everybody. Y’otirj
Ishmaelites are, in truth, a bareboned race; a lank
tribe they are, skeleton and bile. Food does a fat
man good; it clings to him; it fructifies on hint; he i
swells nobly out; and fills a generous space in life,
lie is a living, walking minister of gratitude to the
earth, and the fullness thereof, an incarnate testi
mony against the vanities of care; a radiant mani
festation of the wisdom of good humor. A fat man,
therefore, almost in virtue of being a fat man is, prr i
sc, a popular man, and commonly he deserves his
popularity. In a crowded vehicle, the fattest man j
will ever be the most ready to make room. Indeed |
he seems to be half sorry for his size, lest it be ini
the way of others; but others would not have him
less than he is, Ibr his humanity’ is usually commen
surate with his hulk. A fat mini ha- abundance of!
rich juices. The hinges of hi- system art: well oiled, I
the springs of his being are noiseless, and so lie
goes on his way rejoicing, in full contentment and !
placidity. A fat man feels his position solid in the
world; lie knows that his being is cognizable; he
knows that he has a marked place in the universe,’
and that he need take no extra pains to advertise’
mankind that lie is among them; he knows that he :
is in no danger of being overlooked. It does really l
take a deal of wrong to make one really hate a fat
man, and if vve are not always as cordial to a thin !
man as we should bo, Christian charity should take j
into account the force of prejudice which we have!’
to overcome against his thinness. A fat man is I
[nearest io that most perfect of figures, it mat he
j mat.’cal sphere; a thin man t., that most limited ol
j conceivable dimensions, a simple line. A fat man
is a being of harmonious volume, and holds rvlj
i lions to (be material universe in every direction; a
j thin man has nothing hut length; a thin man, in
I fact, i.- but the continuation ol a point.”
-THE EVER GLORIOUS FOURTH. ’’
j We had “laid it up” in our mind to permit out
patriotism to tlfervesce “considerably if not more,’’
about tlif- celebration ol our National Anniversary
but when we asked the printer about it, learned
that there was not room enough to expatiate. Thi
was bad news indeed. AW had fixed up some
very happy sentiments, in well-rounded, sounding
periods, like carefully bottled soda water, intending
to let them of on that occasion, and as a matter o!
course haled to lose them. Wo have only space to
say that a procession of citizens and students form
ed in front of the Town Hall, and marched to the
College Chapel. Hr. Crawford introduced the ex
ercises with prayer. Mr. George Canid read the
Declaration, and Mr. \Y. G. Johnson, of the Senior
Class, delivered a well written Oration on the “Perils:
ot the Republic and the reasons for counteracting
them;” dwelling; principally on the discord between
the noth’ and foreign born citizens, and ihe agita
tion of the slavery question. The address was well
received. AVe heard several gentlemen of good taste
speak of it in high terms. After the speech, the
audience quietly dispersed to their dinners, where
some of us had the pleasure of tasting green com
for the first time this season. We were ready to ex
claim with the poet, “Yes! yes! yes! am t not fond
of soft corn.” After dinner, we consumed -V, <--ts.
worth of stock in a tine watermelon, and retired to
our Sanctum with a heart overflowing with thank
fulness lor the day that revives our eloquence and
patriotism, and introduces watermelons and roast
ing ears. *
THE RETORT.
1 issaphernes ‘ has sent us an article in reply to a
communication that appeared in our paper some,
lintc since, taken from a Philadelphia paper, and writ
ten by Nellie (day. We are bachelors, and having at;
eye to our own interest, cannot give “aid and comfort”
to at tides reflecting upon the girls. The gentle
man's article would convict him of high treason in
Cupid's court. Why Tissaphernes! “I atn aston
ished! -hooked! to hear such principles avowed!”
“I on cannot begin to e.r/rress in English your con
tempt for the import of o sentence written, by a
lady!'’ Shame upon you to talk sol Y'ou must
have been just recovering from a fit of the “blues,”
from the sad eflects ot a flirtation, or from a sore
ness resulting from the application of prunello, when
you penned your tirade against Nellie and the rest
of the girls. llow dare you talk so!—You want th.
girls to acknowledge that they “love the bors.”
Nonsense! Yon know nothing at all about “love af
fairs. Aou would deprive “lore scrapes” (bv tile
way, we got into ail rueful scrape once, trying to ex
plain that phrase) of all that “glorious uncertainly,”
that alone adds zest to the chase Don't you know
that “lying is the soul ot loving?’’ Take away from
courting all the blissful uncertainty that makes suc
cess doubtful, and-you destroy all the poetry of the
thing. .Making love would be as common and un
interesting as making cotton. Cease circulating such
incendiary documents, inflaming the minds of our
young men, and exciting them to rebel against that
delightful despotism—petticoat government.
Now, Tissaphernes, if we hear you abusing the
ladies again, we will publish your article and your
name, and the ladies in their pious, praiseworthy
wrath, will exile you by a unanimous vote to the
frozen Siberia ot single blessedness, to roam socL
less, butlonless, joyless, among eternal snows, to eat
pickled mushrooms and wild rhubarb, and consort
forever with ferocious wolves and grizzly bears. *
HOWCHILKA DIVISION.
We refer our readers to a “Word” from this Di
vision. Will they’ answer his question? Are there
any other Sections of Cadets in the United States V
The author of that article will understand why we
omitted n portion of his communication, when vve
say, that the paragraph omitted would not. be calcu
lated to benefit the cause in some portions of the
State. We were glad to hear from C. A. F. *
THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
This paper says, “The Editors of the Georgia
lemperrnee Banner ought to have credited the
Spirit ol the Age with two articles: ‘Cui Bono?’and
‘Temperance Triumphs.’” Wo admit the truth of
that proposition. The Editors of the Age ought- to
have known that it was an oversight, or it would
have been done. The copy was credited properly,
