Fioui the Greeusboro llerttld. A Home Incident. There aro many now alive who can well remember the Rev. John Howard, a Methodist minister, who resided, many years ago, in the city of Greens boro, in the bouse now occupied by Dr. II H. King. When the Georgia Methodistß undertook the building of the Georgia Female College, Parson Howard was appointed q traveling sger.t for tbo College, and moved to the city of Macen. At the same lime there lived in this oiuoty old Col. George Fester, a greate pipe smoker, old Mrs. Ellis, a charitable widow, aud old Jcmie Herald, who made a busi ness of hauling frieght to aud lro:n Augusta, and who to.>K as much pride in bis teem as he did iu bis children. These three persons were well known, and often spoken of as the eldest mctn bors of the Methodist church in Greene cour.'y. Five or ft years after Mr. Howard left this oounty he returned to attend a camp meeting to be held at Hasting’s camp ground. While preaching one of his favorite sermons, about the widow with her cruise oj oil , a little mat and a few sticks, throwing in her last mite for the yood cause, his congregation were warmed up to a high pitch. He then spike < f the past, and of his old friends. ‘A few years ngo,’ he said, ‘whi«n I would take my stand in this pulp it to preach, it was a rare thing to sc see a strange face. Now, alas! I preach to strangers. Where are my old friends? Most of them have gone to their homes in a better world.’ And with tears streaming down his cheeks, he asked, ‘Where is brother George Goster!’ ‘Here I am,’ said the old Colonel, who was seated in the altar, near the pulpit. •Glory to God ! bro'her Gutcr, a few more whifs at that old pipe of yours and you’ll go to glory.’ ‘Where is sister Sally Ellis?’ ‘Here I am,’ shouted the old lady from the midst of the congregation ‘here I am brother Howard, still on the road to Canaan !’ ‘Glory to God ! sister Ellis, a few more acts of kinduess to your poor neighbors, and you’ll go to glory.’ This sent the old in mao isl in a fit of shouting. Now the old wagoner, who ilways laughed in shouting, knowing that be would next, be asked fr, fit dapping his hands and anxiously waiting his turn, when the parson asked ; ‘Where is brother Jemie Heard ?’ ‘lla, ha, ba, yere 1 am,’ said the old wigoncr, here if old Jemie, brother How ad, the samo old two-aud-oix penoe.’ ‘Glory to God ! brother Heard, just cr ck your whip a few more times over that baulky team of your , and y u’il go to glory.’ This was more !hao the old wagoner cou'd stand. Syringing to his feet, all tr nib ing with excitement nlreeit ment, he cried nut in a loud voice, ‘Su p, Johu Howard, step; you never knew J mie Heard to diive a baulky team, aud uo man shall say so, preacher or no t r acber,’ and the ol 1 wagoner, turning with indignation, seized his chair and left the stand, saying as be went, ‘That is too bad, to say that Jemie Ileard’s team is bauiky.’ Ju-t tl cd tbc scene at the stand ran he better imagined than described The corgr nation, I owever, soon difjerstd to Uitir tents, and the Larson called on the old wagoner to apologize. ‘limber Heard,’ said tho Parson, ‘you must for give me, I did not intend to insult you or disparage your team.’ ‘Well, well, I’ll forgive you, brother Howard, and you must forgive me for getting mad, for wbeu I rec-llcct bow old Joe Carter used to have to cuss liis team up hill, and I drove mine up wi'h out ensrin—then to hear you call ‘cm a baulky team, was a leetle too much for me ’ S t after niu'ual apologies and forgive ness, the Parson and wagoner once more became friends There are bo*h men and women now alive in tbisccunty who witnessed the above 6ccne. The first Emperor Napoleon in his I youth was lean, and the side view of his «acc at the time he took command of the army of Italy showed spare features, a hollow cheek, and a prominent nrsc. He had, in fact, the look of a palestu j dent, or the occupant of eloistcr. He was at that time ascetic in his habits. Hut later io lifo be became corpulent, | and his countenance filled our, aud be came masive. According to Lamartine be grew to be a confirmed voluptuary, i and loved women, if no* wine and song, i The death of bis natural son, Count Walewski, which occuirod recently at Paris, recalls amour with the beautiful Polish Countess Walewski, tho molher of the deceased Count, who was boro in May, 1840, at Warsaw, where Napoleon the First met the Countess. He was a naturalized citizen of France Ho held tho post es minister to England in 1854-’55 , which he left to take the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs After four years' seivioo in this position he was transferred to the Department of State. In 1805 he was President of tho Corps L'gislatif. He was a warm sympathizer with bis native country Poland. second wife was a dcecn dant of tho Last King of Poland. Count Walewski in early life figure! some what as a journalist and writer of plays, j which gave him sorno literary distinc- I lion. — | Women have the advan age of men- I each moves in her own circle.

People who can’t stand n joke 'should set it cjowu, A UeuntifHl Extract. ‘‘l have seen an end of all perfection.” I huve.sceD a man io '.he glory of his days and the pride of his strength.— Ho was built like the tall cedar that lifts its hbad above the foiest trees; like the strong oak that strikes Its roots deeply iDto the earth. He (eared no dunger—be felt no sicknes His min 1 was vigorous like his body ; he was perplexed at no intricacy, he was daunt ed at no difficulties ; in'o hidden things he searched, and what wan crooked he made plain. Ho went forth fear lessly upon the face of the mighty deep ; ho surveyed the ontions of the earth ; he measured the distances of the stars, and called them by their names; he gloried in the extent of his knowledge, and the vigor of his sno'er stunding, and strove to search even into what the Almighty had concealed And when I looked on him I said ‘‘What a piece of work is man 1 Low noble in reason ! how infinite in facul ties ! ir form aud moving Low express and admirable! in action how like an .angel 1 in apprehension how like God P 1 returned—his look was no more lofty nor his step proud; h's broken frame was like soma ruined tower; bis hair was white and scattered ; and his eyes gazed vacantly at whut was pas sing around him The vigor of his in tellect was wash and, and of all that he had gained by study nothing remained. He feared when there was no danger, and when there was no sorrow he W' pt. His memory was decayed and treacherous, and showed hi in only bro ken images of the glory that had de- parted. ills house was to him like a strange land, and his friends were counted as enemies ; and he thought himself strong uud healthful while his foot tottered on the verge of the grave. He said of his—he is my brother ; of his daughter—l know her not; and in quired what was Lis own name And oue w ho supported his s‘ej sand miu istered to his many wunts, said to me, us 1 looked ou the melancholy scene. “Let thina heart receive instructions, for thou hast eecn an end of all eat Ita ly perfection." i have seen a beautiful female tread ing the tir.it stages of youth, and en tering joyfully into tlie pleasures of life. ’1 lie glance of her ey« was varia ble and sweet, and on her cheek trem bled something like the first blush of the morning; her lips moved and there w as hurmocy ; when she flouted in the dance, her iigiit form like the aspen seemed to move with the breeze. 1 re turned, but she was not in the dance; l sought her in the gay circles of her companions, but found her not. Her eyes spark ed not there—the music of tier voice was silent—she rejoiced on ea.th no more. 1 saw u train, sable and slow-paced, who bore sacly to an open grave what was once anitnuiod and beautiful. They paused as they approached, aud a voice broke the aw ful s.leuce : ‘‘Mingle ashes with aslus uud dust to its original dust. To the earth w hence she was first taken, con sign we the body of our sister.” They covered her with the damp soil, aud the solid clods of the valley ; and the worms crowded into her silent abode. Ytttone sad mourner lingered, to cast himself upon the grave, aud lie said, “There is uo beauty, or grace, or love liness that continueth in man; for this is the eDd ol all glory and perfec tion.” X have seen an infant with a fair brow, and a frame like polished ivory. Its limbs were pliant in its sports; it rejoiced, and again it wept, but wheth er its glowing cheeks dimpled smiles, or its blue eye was brilliant with tears, still I said to my heart, “It is beautis ful” I again saw ibis child when tho lamp of rea>ou first dawned in its mind Its soul was gentle nod peacelul; its eye sparkled with joy, as it looked around on this good and pleasant world. It ran swiftly in the way of knowledge—it bowed its ear to in structions, it stood like a lamp before its teachers It was net proud, or en vious, or stubborn, and it had never heard of the vices and vanities of the world. And when 1 looked upon it I remembered that our Suvior said, “except ye become as little cl ildren, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Hut the sctne was changed, and 1 saw a man whom tbc world called hon orable j and many waited for hie smiles. They pointed out the fields that were his, and talked of the silver and gold that he had gathered; they admired the stateliness of his dittoes, and extolled the honor of his family. And his heart answered seerelly, “by wisdom have I gotten ill thus;’’ so he returned not hanks to God, neithar did he ftai or serve him. And as I passed td<Hg I heard tho complaints of the la borers who had reaped down the fields and the cries of the poor whose covering he had taken away; but the sound of feasting and revelry were in his apartments, and the unfed beggar came totterirg from his door. But ho considered not that the cries of the depressed were continually entering into tho ears of tlio most High. And when I knew that this man was once the teachable child that 1 had loved —the beautiful infant that 1 hud gaz ed upon with delight—l said in my bitterness, “1 have seen an end to ull perfection,” and I laid my mouth in tho dust. The Sqnire anti Hi« Wife. The squire hud a friend to visit him ono day on business, and was very much annoyed to be interrupted by his wife, who came to ask him what he wanted for dinner ■Go »way ! let us alone !’ impatient ly said the squire Business detained his friend until dinner time, end he urged him to re main. The squire was a generous provider, proud of his table ; he escort ed lus friend to a seat. A little to the surprise of both, they saw nothing on ! the board but a huge di h of salad, ) which the good wife began quietly to serve up. ‘My dear," «aid the squire, ‘where are the meats ?’ ‘There ure nene to-day,’ rei lied hits lady. ‘No meat! what in the name cf poverty! the vegetables not brought IU ?’ ‘You didn’t order any vegetables.’ ‘Order—didn't order anything,’ said the squire ‘You forget,’ coolly replied the wife; ‘I asked you whut we shnu’d have, and you said ‘lettuce alone.’ Hero it is.’ The friend bntst into a laugh, and the squire, after looking flurried and lugubrious a moment, joined him. ‘Wife. I give it up. I owe you one. Here is SSO yon wanted for that oi pet, which l denied you.’ And the squire lnrked over. ‘Now let us have peace and some dinner ’ The good woman |»ocketed the mon e}’, rang the bell and a sumptuous re past of tish, poultry and ve 'dallies was brought ir.. A few days afterwards., the squire remained in the garden sometime after H e tea hour. The wife grew impatient of delay, and wen', to find him. His excuse, when he was ussed what he was waling for, threw her into a flutter of excitement. ‘Some one’s to come supper !’ she exclaimed. ‘Why didn’t you tell mo ? I declare you are the most pro voking man I uvor saw !’ And without ask ng w hich one of his friends w as expected, s‘ e hastened to change her dress and fix up for the occasion. This done, she came out nod found tho squire seated at the tab.e reading his newspapers. ‘Where’s your company ?’ ‘My company ? 1 haven’t any com pany.’ ‘But you said you expected some body to supper 1’ exclaimed the indig nant wife. ‘My dear, I said no such thing You asked w hat 1 was waiting fitr, and 1 said ‘summons to come to supper,’ that was what I said l was waiting for my dear. and I came at once.’ •And you have made me go and change my dress? Oh, I’ll pay you for all this !’ ‘No matter about that, my dear; I owed you one for that lettuce.’ Radical Estimate* of the Irish. The Njw York correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes as follows • Some of the less cautious Radical leaders now and then let oat srrncthirg that the more discreet would keep con- | cealed. For iiislauce, they couftss oc- i casioually that one of their objects in forcing negro suffrage on the South fsto offset the naturaliz' and vote in the North, the mass of which is generally cast against their party, ileie is au illus tration just as it occurred: A sow days since an active Repub lican said to an Irishuna D mocrat; “What do you ihiuk of the Iri»h Re publican tuceiing the other night!” “N t much. Most of tbo men there were ILaiocratsA ‘Well, they are going to vote the Republican ticket any way.’- “No sir, Irishmen are Democrats by instinct.” Radical (annoyed)—“Yes, it is as natural tor au Irishman to boa Demo crat as for a jackass to kick.” ‘.I grant yon that.” ‘•Hut wo are even with you now.— The loyal vote in tbc South is more than a match for all tbo Irish votes in the North.” “In intelligence, too, I suppose 7” “Yes the negroes are moro intelli gent than the red headed Irish who vote them Dimocrutic ticket, aud better too.” The mao who said this of’en speaks at Radical meetings in New Yotk, but on these occasion he does not give his real estimate of the mass of Irishmen, which is also tbc estimate held by the majority of his party. 1 don’t see how Irishmen, with auy self respeot can af filiate with men who hold them lower than the Degrees Tho dog is the only dependent that I know of upon whom yon can always I rely as a true friend. A lady describing an ill t.'tnpered man, ways : “11c never entiles but feels ashamed of it.” ludfc'utioii* of Ctioractcr. The Greek philosophers held that a thick neck indicates a strong character; a thin one, a weak character. A well sized neck, not too thick, show* high in'ndedncss; a long, slender neck, cowardice; a very short one cunning. The an'tnal types these follow are re-* spent.voly (be lion, the stag, and tbo wolf. Thin lips, loose at the end.-t, and the upper ovei lapping, also show high rnindedness; and this, too, belongs to the leonine type, and to high spirited dogs. Thick lips, the upptr prqj ct ing, show folly, and belong to the type of the ass and the monkey. People with projecting upper lips aud promi nent gums are Bpt to be abusive. A ir>so with thick extremities shows in dolence—the bovine type An aequo line nose, well cleared from the lore head, shows high mindodr.css. Tho same indication is afforded by a round nose, flattened nf the end. A nose turning up rapidly from the forehoud shows impudence Nostrils w itle opefr shows passionate character. Fleshy faoes show indolence and cowardice ; loan faces, diligence > little faces, small mindededness) large faces slowness and stupidity. The midtile size is the best, ll there ure baggy formations about the eyes, the subject is fond of drink. Little eyes are a sign of a lit tle mind; great, or prominent eyes, of stupiditity ; concave eyes of a mischo vious dispu.-ition. .As to their color, very black eyes show cowardice, as also gray and the pale colored eyes ; those of the blonde type, and bright gleaming eyes, indicate courage; glit tering eyes, a sensual character The forehead, if little, shows inaptitude to learning; if very largo, stupidity ;if round, insensibility ; it square and sym etl teal, sell will. A large head shows insensibility ; a little head, lively per ception ; a peaked head, impudence. Little ears belong to the monkey type, and gnat ears to the donkey. One may obse.ve that the best kind ol dogs have moderate ears. Billings on Tiling*. Generally. Pleasure iz like a hornet—generally ends with a sling. The most dangerous character in the world ar thoso who live in suburbs of virtew—they ar rotten nz icc. Lazynefß iz ■ good deal like money— the mure a man has of it the more he seems tu watif. There i* no such thirg as inheriting virtew; money and tiilus aud fever sores can be inherit* and. The virtews of a convent ar like ho - bouse fruit—tender but tastle.ss.

NV h*n a man proves a literary failure ho generally sets up ler a critick, nod like the fox in the fable, who had lost his brush iua trap, kont see a nice loug lail without hankering to bob it. 1 be devil owes much of his success to the fackt that he iz xlwus on baud.

The Arkansas “Outrage.” Tho Radicals have been trying very hard to get up an “agony” ou the cap turd aud sinking in the Mississippi riv er of certain arms that were ou their way to Arkansas, by parties unknown. Uuc Powell Clayton, so called Gover nor of that State, immediately teles graphed the fact to the Secretary of War aud declared his conviction that “armed resistance to the laws is content p a’ed.” It turns out that the arms boiouged to Clayton and Senator Alo- Don&id, and not to the State of Ar kansas, these worthies having bought them on speculation with the cxpec.a tion of selling again to the Suite at a heavy advance. The dispatch was shown to the I’rcsidentj who, with bis proverbial good se'nse quietly remarked : “I am unable to under, taud why parties who contemplate “armed resistance to the laws” should throw arms into the river,” and just there put a quietus to the whole matter. Clayton aud Me Donald have lost their property i»nd find it impossib.e to get an excitement about it, even among the /CaUicals. A young man fresh from college, cal ling on a lady, and being asked by the , servant what nime she should give her mistress, replica, “ Amicus,” (the Latin j for “for a friend.”) The giri hesitated I amoment and then asked; “What kind Ufaca*, sit ?” The young collegian j then gave Lit wnette and resolved to En glish thereafter.

The little fellow 1 started on his way o.ying, and met one | of bis neigh trnif, who inquired what was j the matter Tne little fellow replied I that bis farther whipped him because he want*d totnirry. ‘Why, my son,’ said the neighbor,'l would not care for that—plenty of time in fire years for you to marry.’ ‘Yes, but I do,’ replied the little fel low, blubbering, 'I have got a chance to marry a white gal now, and tbe way dad’s goio on I’ll have to marry a nig g '*■’ Tub T.tx Voting Qualification.— A corfeapandent of tho Kavann-ib Re publican makes the case very clear, thus; Thu Constitution makes payment of taxes a qualification to vote.- The Gov crnor f Under a provision of the Code, postpones cofleetloh vt ts t. But tbe article of tbe Constitution, adopting tbe Code, expressly excepts so much of tbe Code as is inconsistent with the provi sions of the Constitution. Therefore, the 17th section may authorize the Governor to suspend the tax, but this will also suspend the voting, as no one cao, Coiistitirionally, vote who has not paid the tux. This is true, at least so far as the tax ol 1867 is concerned, whice al! had an “opportunity” of pay ing. 0;i the day that Robinson’s circus exhibited here, a negro called upon the Countv Court Clert for license to mar ry.
