A I.ITTLE TOO KIPJE.
As many of our renders are doubtless aware, it is
the custom for planters at the South to purchase
clothing for their slaves by the wholesale; and as, of >
course, they have not the opportunity to examine
closely each article, they are sometimes swindled by
I-, few bad ones being thrown in among tho good.
An acquaintance of ours tells us that, on one occa-
had laid out a box of shoes, and distributed
i them among bis negroes. A few days afterwards,
J “old Hob,” a favorite servant, found that the shoes 1

ICEYTY RECALLED,
Wr-'t* .mid give particular notice, that Augustus:
Hoard, Letter known as tiie Rat Killer Genet al, who |
was a;q>ointcl by us ari Agent for on?- Paper, is no
longer authorized to receive subscriptions. Those
who pay vubscript.ion.it to him for our Paper, do it at
their ow n risk.
A GOOD SELECTION.
We learn from tbc Cliris'ian Index that Elder P. |
11. Mel!, of our Torn, formerly of our I'niversity, has
received a call to take charge of the first Baptist i
Hhurcli in Savannah. A better -.election could not i
have been made, but wc think it probable that Baird’s
and Antioch chut -lies will not consent to give him
up.
OMISSIOY.
We omitted to notice, last week, the celebration of
(the Tan Delta Society, wliieh came off according to
the programme. Rtifbs E. Lester, the Orator, on the
| occasion, gave tts new treatment of the old subject
Liberty. We were glad to see that, though a your.g
man, be discarded rant and bombast, and everything
intended merely for effect, and relied exclusively on
well-digested thought, and chaste but unpretending
diction. Tiie speech was well received by tbc audi
ence, and reflected much credit upon the youthful
| orator.
HQI STOIV FEMALE COLLEGE.
We have been favored with a Catalogue of the
Honshu Female < ‘"liege, and arc happy to lent n from
it tin.! ibis Institution is in a prosperous condition.
Tit number of students in attendance is 91. The
‘"cation f tlm College is at Perry, 12 miles from
Fort Valley, with a daily Hack running to and from.
It will be found to be as healthy, and perhaps more
so, than any other location in the low country.
Student - at this College enjoy all the advantages
: and privilege s essential to the acquiring of a com
plete Education. All the branches usually taught in
female schools are here strictly attended to. The
\ ancient languages, and vocal music arc taught with
i out extra charge. They have musical Instruments,
j furniture, and an extra set of Chemical and Philo- 1
sophical Apparatus for illustrating the laws and prin
ciples of the Natural Sciences.
Board and Tuition will ho found to be as low ns at
any similar Institution. We earnestly wish this
u tig sent of learning much success, and recommend j
: it as worthy of patronage.

RESPECT OLD H*E.
M a take the following pithy remarks from the
i Cayuga Chief, and wauild recommend them to the !
earn, ‘t and • reft]! attention of “A onng America.”
“Couie old fello'., give us tiiis seat—we want to
all sit together.’’ The individual spoken to, was an
>’d tn"". bis fj, t. ,1 l.x’ks hanging thinly from under
his worn bat, and his hands resting tremulous'y up ,
oi his polished cane. The one speaking, was a boy
lot ■* ‘” it t i. years, having m company three others
” ut he stun age. “The old chap did not iike
to go, di ■ he Bdlf” broke in another of the young
s'ers ns the old man slowly arose and started un
slead'iv tli'-oogli t” the other eti lof the car. M c
teicli red . im our scat, and temarke*! sarcastically to
the L y, “I/ttle tVi. ini 1 •>. 11-bred boys never speak
ill to old jv o; 1 , >r ask them for their -vats.'’ A la
dy'’ Idee grew rerv red nt the remark, and w e learn
ed that she w is the belle mother of the little spokes
man.
It is a ui ‘t Inimilialing truth that age is treated
with less it.-peel than formerly. t*ur childr, ;i know
more of school lore, go to college earlier, and, as the
phr'Ms. nr smarter than oM fashioned children, so
to lemi those of years ago. \ h.-oiry head is nowhere
‘ate fiviu insult. \\ o have, in retineil circles so call
ed. voiu.g gcni’eiiitn and ladies, indulge in the
m>'t gr..-s and ill bred treatment of old people, their
♦*'v horn wit leveled at the t"tiering step .>ro!d
!*sh’ !Hsi speech. The chiwlr. t> in the streets, are
noljii’ in*, om and abusive. A ovil question
’ answered w .th taiuuiug insult. A dtclipid form
i’ ample iood for wildest nurrituviit.
AV henerer wc see old people outraged, our thought’
turn like lightning homeward. Time isheapingyears
upon those there, and they are old. But God knows
that they are more lovely ns they grow older ! Their
arc more sacred than were their darker
ing them to lean harder upon us as age weighs upon
them.
We !"V” old people. AVe love their simple ways
and old fashioned speech. To laugh at their infirm
ities, is to laugh at ourselves in advance. No gentle
man oi lady will ever so do, or in any wav, treat 1
honorable age with disrespect. That child in lamely
bred ul home, who is insolent to the aged. Young
America should he taught good manner- before it
commences smoking and swearing.

crat, Ilenry A Wise, rather hard, we copy, because;
it is in Prentice’s best vein. We have no doubt ’
Gov. AA is,, himself ha’ laughed heartily over it:

KEEP SOME OBJECT IN VIEW.
Every man. rich or poor, ought to have some all-,
j sorbing purpose, some active engagement, to which
i his main energies arc devoted. Not enjoyment but!
duty, daily duty, must be the aini of each life. No!
man has a right to live upon this fair earth, to breathe [
its air, to consume its food, to enjoy its beauties, pro- 1
j during nothing in return. He has no right to enjoy
lhe blessings of civilization, of society, and of civil
liberty, without contributing earnest and self-dcnv
-Img labor ol head and hand to the welfare of man,-j
kind. Certainly no man can be truly rdiak>its who
makes gratification, ns distinct from self-denying ex
jerfion, the great object of life, and the idler puts
£> -asure exactly in the place of duty.— Krehoutje .

jTHOUGHTS SUOBESTED BY THE FALLING LEAVES.
‘Twas one of those melancholy days, which have
j been so appropriately called the saddest of the year,
j that. I wandered off to the river bank, my favorite
| place of resort. 1 had al! day been oppressed with
Ia fueling of loneliness, and this quiet scene harmon
| ized with every feeling of my soul, I sat long on the
i banks of old G , anon watching tho flowing river,
i and listening to the sad music of its wafers as ttu\
flowed o'er their rocky bed, and then gazing on the
high hill top on the opposite shore. As 1 gazed on
| the trees around me, covered with the rich and gor
, lutes of autumn, and watched to see their pale
and withered leaves one by one fall pa
■ I nt Stem, and mingle ‘ ith the sod beneath, thoughts
, sad and mouinful to the soul came stealing o'er tue.
I’hose tailing leaves reminded me, oh, Itow forcibly,
ol the mam loved friends who had fallen around me
since the green lea ves began to fade. One drooping,
fm-t fad - g leaf, surrounded by a thick cluster of fresh
green F ves which the autumn blasts had left un
touched, reminded me of an absent friend who, when
those leaves in the early spring, first put forth their
tender buds, was a- full of life, health, and beauty as
they; qn* who, though surrounded by many loving
friends, b gin to droop and fade with the autumn
leaves. 1 watched the fading leaf with much inter-
et. an 1 as ! gazed a gentle breez.. uraf ed i( from its
resting place ; awhile it rested on some of its given
companions, and then tin.’ breeze wafted It far away.
Tt did hot fall to the earth, hut went on—on far
down the rtv r side until it was lost in the distance.
How Rite that ’ittle leaf, was the departure of my
friend, knowing that falthongh surrounded by many
loving companions) he eould not live long unless he
•sought a ‘and .rb i;e the warm sunshine of perpetual
suniuier would revive his drooping frame, lie tore
himself from his loved companions, from fond pares*
1 tal love, and the pleasant scenes of his childhood,
and now a breeze like that which bore the little leaf
from its parent stem, is bearing him fat away o’er
the broad blue sea, far front his native shore. Many,
very many, long, weary days will pas.-, ere he can
again venture to ?ea\ ■ the balmy breezes of his new
home, for the colder ones of his native place, and
: how mournfn! the thought, the hope-crushing
thought, that perhaps like that little leaf he may
never return—may wither and die far off from the
‘loved ones at home” with no loving hand near to
wipe the death damps from off that lair, no le brow
No tender voice to whisper words of hope and peace,
and point to a home beyond the grave. No listening
ear to catch the last whisper, ere the soul wings its
1 flight into another world.
