Unclean by twos, The dove In the heavens Is the one that I choose. But not only do the bird auguries go by sevens; the number plays it mighty part in folklore, tradition and Ills tory. Six days made the world, and Cod rested on the seventh day and hal lowed it. In the seventh month Noah’s ark touched the ground; in seven days a dove was sent out on the face of the •waters. Abraham pleaded with Cod seven times for Sodom's sake before Cod smote the city ot wickedness to her undoing. Seven days .Jacob mourned for .Jo soph and would not be comforted; sev en years and seven Jacob served for Rachel, and in Joseph’s governorship of Egypt the chief butler and baker dreamed dreams wherein seven fat. oxen ami seven lean oxen, seven ears of full corn and seven ears of mildew ed cot*!) played a prominent part ami I foreboded the 11 years of plenty and of famine that were In store for the Land of the Two Crowns.even the land of the house of bondage, the land of Egypt.

'There were sev en lamps in the •tabernacle, ami the golden candlestick had seven branches. Naaman washed himself seven times in the river Jordan before the healing water cleansed him of his lep rosy. The Apocalypse is full of the mystic number, and on the cross our Saviour bung for seven hours, ami from the cross our Saviour spoke sev en times. The seventh sou of a seventh son is a born doctor,according to Irish belief, but he mm I never take money for the j cures he achieves, and to insure re ' eovery he should be sought before sun i rise or after sunset on Friday. "It is manifest by experience that the sev enth male childe, by Just order (never a wench being born between), doth heal only with touching, through a natural gift, the king's evil; which is a special! gifte of God, given to kiriges and queeues, as daily experience doth witnesse.” There were seven wise men and seven wonders of the world; while the ancients not only noted the importance of seven as an astronom ical period, but also connected the sev en metals then known with the seven planets ami the seven colors. Thus copper belonged to Venus, and ' the color green; lead to Saturn, ami i the color blue; gold and yellow to the sun, and so on.

A Scheme to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. i < Mr. Ethtor: Some years ago I took an ' id.-i that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build, The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to*s4 per acre—saying altogether,about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre. Tn the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In Ter w • • i uml rof ai quan'ity ■ put in a 1 "or lx, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at fir less than cost. The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or GO,OOO people, and is adapted to maiket gardening, and for northern know howto work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. I / It is all together, atfd would make a fine settlement,having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the ('all will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I me&n what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ol one or two parties for years, and j • have never be< n questioned and are as I gold as gold. I am not particularly xvc'hh’d to this plan of getting rid of my lauds, but only’ suggest the idea—any better plan xvould be thankfully substituted. S. B.
