For the Dawson “Journal.” THE VIOLET. Beside a sparkling little brook, A beautiful violet grow, And in the crystal water looked, To behold her purple hue. Many a look and many a smile, In the new found mirror she cast, But, her color so bright for awhile, Began to fade at last. The perfume in the little horn, Underneath the silken leaves, Neglected in the early morn, Now, no incense breathes. When the sun's genial ray, Would have spread it ’round the place, The violet, then so bright and gay, Had bent to see her face. The odor dried within the ceil, Soon the violet ceased to wave ; No perfHtue lingered there to tell, That it was a violets grave. When ths zepilyrs came around, To bear withered flowers away, They ne’sr could find the ground, Where the vain violet lay. MORAL. Thus, vanity will overthrow, Sweet modesty, we fiod, And, while cultivating outward show, We forget, beauties of the mind. * Zina. Terrell Cos., Ga., March 10th, 1869. [From the New York Mail. Lemons In Business. Mr. A. T. Stewart is conceded to be one of our successful mercba.uts. — From the smallest beginnings*le has amassed a princely fortune. Np one would ask whether Mr. Stewart’s method of business was a wise one.— The secret of his success lies on the surface In his little store on Broad way, opposite his marble palace, Mr. Stewart began his trade. He adopted two or three simple rules by which he jaroposed to be guided. He gave per sonal attention to his business. Ho asked a lair price for his goods, and persons could take them or leave them. If he sold a poor article to a customer, he sold it as a poor article. If he de manded s. first class price forbis goods, they were found to be first class when the purchaser took them home. He seldom lost a customer, because the article never differed from the repre sentation. Since Mr. Stewart opened his little shop, thousands with capital have started business with the m< tto ‘All is fair in trade.” Few of those survive. Their very names as mer chants have perished front among men, while Mr. Stewart, without capital and without friend?, underpinning hi? trade with integrity, stands among the foremost merchants of the world. In this city there is a young bank ing house which buys and sells stocks on conimifsion. Several rules were adopted and incorjiorated in the artie’es of copartnership. One was, never to carry stock for any one without a mar gin ; another was, never to speculate in stocks, but to do a strictly legiti mate commission business. If that led to wealth they would accept it; it it led elsewhere, they would abide the issue. A celebrated Western capital ist, whose name was a tower of strength, came into the office. lie re quested the house to purchase for him a large amount of railroad stock. “ Do you w ish to carry it 7” said odc of hi parlners. ‘‘Yes,” was the reply. “Then you must put up a margin,” “A margin!” said the millionaire; “I am worth fifty times tlrtit •mount.’' “I have no doubt of it,” was the re ply ; “we have but one rule in this of fice, lor both rich and poor. We would not cairy stock in this office for Mr. Astor without a margin.” The capitalist went out as if offend ed. The firm fell they had lost a good customer. Soon a messenger came up and put on depositsso,ooo The next day the capitalist called in ) erson.— Be said: “Young men, I like your rule. You have begun right. Do business on that basis and you will succeed. You shall have my business, for my money is safe here.” Words for this Boys to Remember —Liberty is the right to do w hatever you wish, without interfering with the right of others. Save your money, anrl you will find it one of the most useful friends. Never give trouble to your father or mother. Take care of your pennies and they will grow to be dollars. Intemperance is the cause of Dearly all the trouble in this world ; beware of strong drink. The poorest boy, if he be industri ous, honest, and saving, may reach the highest honors in the land. Never be cruel to a dumb animal; remember that it has uo power to tell how much it suffers. H out sty is always the best policy. The New York Commercial of a late date remarks that the “Louisville Jour nal has a chip on its shoulder which it dares any one to knock off ” To this Prentice retorts : “The editor of the New York Commercial (Thurlow Weed) has a block on his shouldor which ought to be kn >cked off ” ' A certain man was married ; We lost his wife and had a stone erected over her grave. He married a second wife and when she died he had the tomb stone split and it thus served for the two departed. He proposed to a third and the lady quaintly remarked: “I do not believe that atone will split again.” A Precocious Chap. BT P. O. MUDKLUItY. John Smith—you’ve beard of him— is very bashful—is too bashful, in truth. He was bora and raised in the country. Uis father gavo him a good education and allows him plenty of money. But John, with all his other attainments, never could accustom himself to the so ciety of females; not because he didn’t like the girls, but because his shy na ture would not permit him to associate with the fair«ex It once happened, not very long ago, either, that John’s father had some very important busi ness to transact in the city. He also had some very particular affairs to at tend to at home, which demanded his personal attention, and, not possessing the power of übiquity, he delegated his son John to transact that in the oity. John, being thus commissioned, im mediately proceeded to the city and to the residence of his father’s old friend, whom he found to be a very nioe old gentleman, with a beautiful daughter, aud gold spectacles. John was ushered into the parlor, (a new thiDg to him,) and motioned to a seat— no ! a sofa, (another new thing.) But we must use his own language: “I took my seat and made observations. Everything wai fine! Fine orrpets, fine sofas, fi e tables, fine cartains, fine books, fine pianos, fine everything, and especially a fine young lddy who was dressed in fine silk, fine satin, and who bad fine curls, and a fine appearance generally. After obatting with the old gentleman a few mmutes, he took down bis hat, told me to make myself nt home for an hour or two, and left—left me alone with his daughter and a small mischie vous boy, the young lady’s brother. I didn’t relish the situation at all. The idea of my koeping a city belle engaged in conversation for two hours—perdi tion ! Silence reigned in that parlor fora short time, you utay bet I amused myself as much as possible with the boy—that is, I loaned him my knife and watch key, and watched him cut holes iu the carpet with one and spoil the other. I don’t know what I would have done had it not been for that boy —he was so good to attract one’s atten tion, you know. It is true that he asked some very startling questions, occasionally, such as this for instance : “Are you goin’ to court sister Emily ?’’ but such things must be expected under such circum stances. Miss Emily, thinking, no doubt, that to be a good hostess, she must keep her guest engaged in conversation, asked me “how I liked oountry life,” cto. She said that “it must he a beautiful sigh’ iu see the laborers, both mala and it. male, romping ou the Dew-mown hay oa New Year’s day; that she always did think that she would like to spend a Christmas in the country a nut-gath ering with the village lads and ittsses ; that it always bad been a mystery to her how they got the eggs off the trees without breaking them, elo ” In return, I thought that to keep up my part of the coovt rsation, it was nec essary for me to qunto poetry and the like, which I did Among other quota tions, I unfortunately repeated the well known lines of Shakespeare, ‘There is a diviuity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them as we will.’ At. this juncture, the boy, who had perched himself upon my knee?, looked very earnestly into my face and said : “Divinity shaped the end of your nose mi’hty curu .” I’m certain that I blushed a little ; I am very certain that I wished somebody would spank one of bis well, we talked of hills, moun tains, vales, cataracts —I bi lieva I said waterfall?, when the boy spoke up and said : “Why sister’s got a trunk full of them up-stairs—pap says they are made out’en hoss hair.” This revelation struck terror into me and blushes in the checks of my fair companion. It began to be very apparent to me that I must te very guarded in what 1 said, lest said boy might slip in his re marks at uncalled for places ; in fact I turned all my conversation to hm. I told him he ought to go borne with me, aod see what nica chickens we bad in the ooun ry. Unluckily, I mentioned a voke of calves that my little brothers owned. The word calves ruined aIL The little fellow looked up and said : “Sister’s got a dozen of ’em but she don’t wear ’em only when she goes up in town o 5 windy days.” “Leave the room, you unmannerod little wretch !” exclaimed Miss Emily, “leave immediately!” “I know what you want me to leave for,” replied he ; “you can’t fool me— yon want to set in that man’s lap and kiss him like you did Bill Simmons the other day—you can't fool me ! I’ll jes tell you. Crimme some candy like he did, then I’ll go. You think that be cause you’ve got the Grecian Bend that, you're smart! Guess I know a thing or two ! I’m mad at you, anyhow, ’cause pap would a bought me anew top yis tiddy, if it hadn’t been for you a gitting them curls you’ve got on, doggone yc ! You needn’t turn so red in your lace, ’cause I can’t see itfor the paint. They ain’t no use in you winking at me with that glass eye o’ yourn, ’cause I ain’t going ont’n here, now, that what’s the matter with the purp?. I don’t care if you are twenty-eight years old, you ain’t no hoss o’ mine, you ole fool.” That is all the story that John rela ted. He eays he don’t know how he got out of the scrape.

Further from tu* Warms Cock tv Tbagkdy —From a gentleman who came to thin oity yesterday evening on the passenger train ou the Georgia. Railroad, we learn that the Warren county murder was moat fearfully avenged on last Friday night. Our informant states soon after the murder was committed, Dr. Darden surren dered himself to the Sheriff, and for his own protection asked to be impris oned in the jail of the county. Hiz request was granted, and he wan lodged in prison, and allowed bi retain his arms in ord-r that be might have, some means of defence if an attack waa made upon him by the- friends of his victim. The affair, as may well be imagined, created the greatest excite ment in the town, and many peopln coming iu from the country, ns soon aa they heard the Dews, swelled the exci ted groups, who were engaged to dis cussing the affair. Later in tfjfo day many began lo believe that Dr. Darden would never appear at the bar of a court to answer for the crime, but would speedily come before a swift and more terrible tribunal —that ot Judge Lynch. Nor did tbeeo rumors prove incorrect. On tho night of that day, between the hours of eleven and twelve o’clock, a large body of armed men, estimated to be about one hun dred m number, entered the villago, apparently coming from the country. Silently and in compact array they marched to the residence of the Jailor, and their leader demanded of that of ficial the key of the prison. Knowing too well what must be their object, the Jailor had the courage to refuse their dematid. The “Regulators” em ployed no violence toward him to en fore 3 their request, but turned from his house and proceeded to the Jail— a building remote from any other houses. Arrived there they kindled a tire at the door, as the easiest method of removing this obstacle and the door soon igniting burned until it could be easily iorced from its hinges nod the aveDgers rushed into the building. The prisoner, warned by outside, knew that bis hour had come; but he determined to sell his life as dearly as possible, and when the men reached the door of his cell bade them stand that he was armed and would shoot Fha.first oue who entered. They paused at this ; but the atill burning door supplied them wiih a device, w hich they hastened to put in practice. Collecting a quantity of fuel they placed it at the door of the cell, appa rently determined to make him sur render, either through fear ot suffoca tion or burning. This was ignited and a volume of smoke pouroJ into the room eo rapidly that the inmate felt that he c uld endure it but a little while longer and shouted to the regu lators his willingness to surrender if they would remove tho flames. No sooner had ho spoken than his request was granted and he was told to come forth. But now that this other death was 6<i near at hand, revived, too, by the fresh air, tvhich had taken the place ol the smoke, Dr. Darden again refused to delivar himself up.
