™ brought your dinner, father,”
I he blacksmith’s daughter said,
As she took f<utn her arms a kettle,
And lifted its shinn g lid,
There 8 not any pin ~r pudding
So I will give you this,”
And upon his t*.il worn forehead
She left a childish kiss.
.The Blscksmi h took off his apron
And dined in a happy mood.
Wondering much at the savor
Hid in bishumbie food;
While all about him were visirns
Full of prophetic bliss ;
But he never thought of magic
In his little daughter’s kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging.
Merrily trudged away,
Stopped at sight of a squirrel,
C atching some wid-bird’s lay.
And I .bought how many a shadow,
Of life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinne,s
Were secsoited with a kiss.

Coaldsi’i Quarrel.
In the depth of a forest there lived
two foxes who never had a cr#ss word
with each other. One of thetu said
one day in the p< litest fox language;
“Let’6 quarrel.”
“Veiy well,” said the other, “as you
please, dear friend; but how shall we
set about it?”
“0, it cannot he difficult,” said fox
number < op* “iwo-legged peoplefail
out, why should not we ?”
So they tried all sorts of ways, hut
if could not be done, because each
would give way. At last number one
brought iwc stones.
“There,” said he, “yon say they’re
youts, and I’ll say they're mine, and
we’ll quarrel, and fight, and scratch.
Now I’ll begin. Those stones are
mine.”
“Very well,” answered the other
gently, “you are welcome to them.
“But we shall never quarrel at this
rate,” cried the other, jumping up and
licking his l"ce.
“You little simplaton, don’t you
know that it takes two to make a
quuriel any day?”
One of the gratifying results of the
hard times stems to be that a rau
can wear a shirt fot two days without
being accused of being a ptominent
lecturer or a person witti a tendency
toward spiritualism.
This rule of Secretary Sherman s,
fot bidding the employment of two
firm the same family, is going to
make it bad for Smiths.
DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JULY 5 1877.
Items of Practical Interest.
A horse will do at least a thiid
more plowing in hot weather if fed on
oats than be will if fid on corn.
An excellent means to preserve har
ness, and indeed <ll kinds of ieathet
trippings from the injurious effects of
stables is said to he to add a little
glyceri’ e to the grease ordinarily em
ployed.
Frequent cultivation and Stirling of
the soil in dry weather, presenting
thus more points of attractions to the
atmosphere and heavier deposits of
dew, is the 1 est remedy for drought,
while deep plowing is the best preven
tative.
To destroy [ice i.o chickens houses
fumigate them with brimstone and
charcoal. Set fire to them off an iron
pen, and use fie-dy, burning three or
four pounds at a time. They will
moke a tog stnoke, but there need be
no danger. The fumigation will kill
all the lice.
Do not mix lime with the food for
pou'try. If you do, they will eat
more of it than is for their goed. Let
them have access to it, and they will
consume all they need. The same
substance in the form of burned bones
or shells is generally preferred.
A lady who is very successful in
raising poultry says when the wings
of bet little turkeys !*pgin to lopdovrn,
and they look sick ard weak, site
puds out the logest feathers on each
wing, and they are all right in a few
Lours. She very seldom loses any,
and she has tried it for years. It it
is so it is worth knowing and pmcticiug.
We believe that our farmers should
cleon up their lamis and got out the
way useless stuff and rubbish, but we
want to take stand against the useless
waste of timber. It is all right hr
cultivate the lands that have been cut
over, to cultivate large prairios, to
cultivate welland faithluly all that is
not covered timber.
After the family soap has been made
in the spring t e gerase that accumu
lates and is laid aside during the sum
mer often gets maggety. To avoid
this, the following is a good plan:
Have a kettle full ot lye, and throw
all bacon rinds, etc., into this kettle
and when fall comes you will he sur
prised at the nice lot of soft soap you
will have, and even if a rat tails in, he
will h changed into soap just the
tame.
The best vinegar in use for pickling
is that made from the Western high
wines. In a vinegar made Irom wood
the pickle - soon become suit, und even
cider vinegar though the b--st and
tn- et wholesome for table purposes,
Will not preserve pickles more than a

An Example for Boys.
A New Orleans paper tells us of a
printer who, when his fellow-work
men went out to drink beer, put in
the bank the extra amount he would
have spent if he had gone cut with
them to diink.
He did this for five yeare.
He then looked at bis bauk account,
and found t at be had laid up five
hundred aud tweuty-one dollars and
eighty-six cents. In five years tie had
not lest a day became ol sickness. —
Three out of five of his felDw-work
men had, in the meantime, becomo
drunkards.
The water drinker then bought out
the printing office; and in twenty
years from the time he began to put
by his ni 'ney he bad lard aside a good
many thousand dollars. This story
teaches a lesson which every little boy
should take to heart.
Useful and Cheap.
The unpleasant oder produced by
perspiration is ftequently the source
of vexation to persons who are sut

move this odor much move effectually
than by the application of such un
gueuts and peifuines as are in use
It is only nectssary to procure some
of the compound spirits of ammonia,
and place about two table-spoonfuls in
a basin of w..ter. Washing the face,
bands and artns with this leaves the
skin as clean, swe t and fresh as one
could wish. The wash is peifVctly
harmless and very cheap. It is re

Tlie New Party myth
Redficld, who is about as close a
political observer as the best of them,
thus gives his views in the new party
movement, in a recent Washington let
ter to the Cincinnati Commercial.
It is pretty geaerally conceded now
that neither tinder Hayes’ policy nor
any other policy will there be a Whig
party, or any othet party except
Democratic, in any Southern State
strong enough to carry that Stale in
the immediate future. The South is
Deomocratic; every Southern Stats is
Democratic, and with that party they
will range themselves as far in the
future as they can see. The evils of
a Solid South in our politics, so long
dreaded, are full upon us. It is use
less to argue who is to blame for this,
or why it is as it is; the fact remains
this, the South is to-day solid, and is
about as certian to remain so as Ver
mont is to remain Republican. As
long as it is safe to calculate upon
Vermont as a Republican State, it will
be safe, for the purpose of estimate, to
put the Southern States ou the Detno
rcatio sides. Not that they are Detn
ocraiic because Vermont is Republi
can —I use the comparison only as an
illustration. Men ask met ‘How long
do you think the South will remain
solid on national issues?’ And I an
swer: “How long do you think Ver
mont will he Republican?” Nothing
1* ss than a break up that will cause
Vermont to vote a ticket the other
than Republican will influence the
Sou h to g<> otherwise than Demo
cratic. Perhaps as two of the South
ern States there should he some quali
fication, fiut there is certainly no im
mediately prospect that any of them
will go otherwise than Democratic.
I never had much confidence in the
talked of Whig revival in the South.
The nearest we will get to it is the
“Conservative” paity in Virginia. Yet
this Conservative party as they call
thpmselves, is coining but Democrat
ic when it conies to material issues,
‘ahd a rose by any other name would
smell as swest.” The South is knit
to the Democratic party by a tie that
gop ß into the w.ir and helore the war.
As long as the two present parties
occupy the iand—which jromuos to
he for some time—the South will set
witir the Democratic party. lam not

Tire Loss of a Wile.
In comparison with the loss of a
wife all othei bereav merits are trifling.
The wife! ehe who fils so large a
space in the domestic heaven; she
who busied herself so unweiriedly fur
the precious ones around her; bitter
is ihe tear which falls on her cold
clay. You staud be ide her coffin and
think of the past. Il seems an amber
colored pathway, where the sun shone
upon the beautiful flowers, or the
stars hung glitteringly overhead. -
Fain would the soul linger theie. No
thofds are retnembere i save those
your hands have unwillingly placed.
Her noble, tender heart lies open to
your inmost sight. You think of her
now as ail gentleness, all purity, all
beauty. But she is dead. The head
laid upon a pillow of clay. The hands
that have ministered so untilingly are
foiled beneath the gloomy portal.—
The heart whose beat measured an
eternity of love lie under your feet. —
The flowers she bent over with frailes,
bend now over hei with tears, shaking
the dew from their petals, that the
verduo around may he kept green and
beautiful. There is to white arm
over your shoulder, no speaking lace
to look up into the eye ol love. No
trembling iips to murmur, “Oh, it is
too sad I” There is s.. strange a hush
io every room; no light footsteps pass
ing around; no smile to greet you at
nightfall. And the old clock ticks
and fctiikes-*—it was such music when
she could hear it. Now it seems to

wutched the shadow of death gather

“ilic tValer Mill.”
Listen to the water mill,
All the livelong day—
How the clicking ot the wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the aulumn wind
Stires the grpenwo<xl leavs;
From the fieldbhe reapers sing,
Binding up 'he sheaves;
Aid a memory o’er my mind
Asa spelt.is tfafst:
The mill wiil never grind
With the watertliat is past.
Tnke the lesson to yourmlf,
Loving heart and true;
God n years are fleetii g by;
Youth is passing, too.
Strive to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept ay ay.
Leave no tender wTWl'Wtsaid,
Love while love shall last —
The mill wilbneVer gfiod
With the water that is past.
Work while yeftlie daylight shines
Man of thought and will;
Nevp'r dees the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not till to-morrow’s sun
Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own
Lies in I hie—to-d>iy.
Power, intellect and health
May not always last—
The mill cannot grind

Christ’s Presnoe ill a Mine.
Recently a distressing accident oc
curred at a mine in Wales, by which
four workers were drowned, H!*l five
imprisoned for ten days, without light
and without food. A more dismal
situation could hardly be conceived.
The wonder is that any of the number
should ever have been rescued in pos
session of life and reason. We hear
sometimes of insanity as the result of
religious excitement, but we do not
hear, and perhaps can never know in
this work), of many cases in which
tf e great peace and animating hopes
that religion only can give, preserving
men in crushing calamity, from sink
ing into iftsanity or despair. One of
thise miners who was rescued s'ated
that lie and his companions “contin
ued to pray during much of thsir im
prisonment ” The men were singing
a well known Welsh hymn when the
tappings of the implements of their
liberators were heard. The follow
ing is a translation I
“In the deep and mighty w aters
There is uone to hold my head,
But my ot]||V Savior, Jesus,
Who was slaughtered in my stea i.
He, a friend, in Jordan’s river,
Holding up my sinking brad,
With his smile I’ll go rejoicing
Through the regions of the dead.”
A Trut3iilit sketch.
Let a man fail in business, what an
effect it has on his lormer creditors!
Men who have taken him by the arm,
laughed and chatted with hiai by tfie
hour, shrug their shoulders and pass
on with a cold “How do yet! do ?”
Eve r y trifle of a bill is buutetl up
and presented that would not have
seen the light for mbnths to come, but
for the misfortunes of th debtor. If
it is paid well and good, if uot, the
scowl of the sheiiff perhaps meets him
on the corner. A man who has never
failed knows but little of human na-
Iu prosperity he sails along gently
wafted by favoring smiles and kiud
words from every body. He prides
himself on his name aud epjtless char
acter, and makes his boasts that he
has nat one enemy in the world. Alas!
the change. He looks at ihe world
in a different light when reverses come
upon him He read* suspicion on
every brow. He hardly'knowa how
to move or to do this thing or the
other; there are spice about him, a
writ is ready for his back To knnw
what kind of stuff the World is made
of, a person must ba unfortunate, aid
stop paying once in his lifts time. If
he has kind friends t en they are
made manifest. A failure is an oral
seive, it brings out the wheat end
shews the chaff. A man thus learns
that words an i pretended good will
are not and do not constitute real
\ friendship,

Sulphur, Sail and Atlics fur
ktok.
Asa general rule, says a New En
gland /amercorrespondent, live stock,
when well led and eared for, will eat
only what their system needs, or what
appetite craves. When cattle gnaw
the boaids and shingles from the
ba r n, the hair from each other’s sides,
and even the grounds where soap-suds
have been emptied; when they eat
old boots, arid woolen rags, in
preference to their food there is some
thing out of sorts with them, and as
a corrective I have never seen any
thing equal to plenty of usbefs, salt
and sulphur.
mixture is four quartwwf
ashes, two quarts of salt and one-half
pound of sulphur. When tho stock
have corn cobs frequently I find they
need ashes less. I can stop the gnaw
ing of wood by feeding cobs, every
(iiue. Sulphur is good for the blood
as a preventive of disease, and also
makes the hair look well. It is also a
preventive of mange in swine, and
tends to keep their issues open. Sheep
that have su'phur frequently will not
he troubled with humors, and will
nover pull each other’s wool.

Hints About Waking
Preserves.
It is not generally known, that bou
*lffg ft tffUy-ftgrg time, and skimming
it well, without k cover to the pre
serving pan, before (be sag at is pvt
in, is an economical and excellent way
—economical, because the bulk of the
scum rises from thefrtm, and not from
the sogar, it the latter is good; boil
ing it without a cover, allows the
more perfect evaporation of all the
watery particL s therefrom; and the
preserves keep firm and well flavored.
The proportions are, three quarters of
a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
Jam mado in this way, of currants,
strawberries, rasberries, gooseberries,
and blackberries, is excellent. All
preserves keep better if the fruit is
ripe.
Young ladies, if thoy only kmw
how disgusting to men slovenliness is,
aid how attractive are displays of
