GUARD. ” 11T BRirKTOr. r “110 who fights and runs away Lives to fight an other day.” That’s the Idea exactly ;so thought the valiant Falstaff, and so have thou sands thought since thoso cbivalric days. If yru arc convinced that your enemy has got the best, or is likely to get the best (f jon, whv, be suic that your re tria* is kept open and make use of it at the first appna h of anything bfcllig erei*. About tho time our late family broil was at its height and drafts were tho or der of the day, there came on wind ru mors bosh great and wild which nearly drove seme portions of ourvad country mad with excitement. More especially were such r fleets noticed in our border to vtis, and interior ones where there was nufhing t> be depended upon but lumoror an occasional newspaper that was oftentimes as much a viet.m of ru mor as they were themselves. In the town cf Sweatham, situated on the line that divides this State from Canada, there was unusual excitemen', one day, occasioned by the r.port of an intruded ra'd from the other side by some C niedesate sympath'zors. The r. a' fighting men had left for the front, and these who rem; i led were compos ed of the white liveied gentry, who sick en at at the smell of gunpower. But they would never acknowledge t at there breathed any mor t u'y bn ve or more div ited to their country, only (bey couldn’t leave thrir business very well. An 1 yet they went in fjr puah i g things: oh, res. So when these warlike rumirs began to excite the goed people of Sweatbam, these feroei ius sons o l say at-home Mirs formed themselves into a heme (U rl, who were designed to shake t ings to their foundation. Tim Lusty was chosen captain Tler tvi'es Snod, first lieutenant; Motet S uithereeniman, second do ; and so on through the whole list of officers In fact, there seemed to bo acommend ab e desire on the part of all of them to serve in the capac'ty of leader, regard less of the dinger that was in store for them So things were all arranged nicely, afid the officers, who ,hy the way, constituted seven-eighths of the II .me Guard, had furni-bed themselves with unifirms of the most costly and g irgeam patterns, wiib.ut regard to regulation i r adaptability. Thus the captain more resembled a fat su geor, and the first lieutenant w uld pars for a pivmasser short of funis, and so on to b lowest grade. There was excrement enough so w, Trent a drill ev. ry night, and if it ran very high they assembl -d in the afternoon to perfect themselves in t e ns l of arms, but the officers usual ly h. Id a nice ing for drill and lhe study of tactics every and iy, let the excitement blew high or low : and the fat capta n put his inferior brothers through a oour-ic of military sprouts that promised well fo> tho shoots under them-. Sim Lusty, the largest and first > f the gia I, way a bachelor of about for ty five, and had manifested by both usu al aud unu-tnl signs that he was deep ly in love with Amelia (1 rimes [daugh ter of the old man) ,who was tho be! 1 of Sweatbam, without tho luxury of a riv al It was his delight to march his (Otnpaiiy past bet house and show off his marshall figure in the best B‘yle, hoping to ctrry things ly storm. Hut Amel’a Grimes was lookrd up on by eyes other tl at those in the head of captain Lusty. Id fact, there were several ambitious youths in town who would ruu greater lisks in hope of ob it t : rg her favorable opinion than they vo and have done to drive <u‘ a crowd of raiders. Amelia w: s a laughing light hearted beauty, who oared as much about mar riage, apparently, as she did about visi ting the mooh because it had a man in it. Hut for all her ligLt-hearted in d.ff rence, (here was a handsome fc’- loa who hal ‘gone for a soger’ that look ed full as sentimental as she did wheu he marched away ; and ever since that time Iter favorite song had been— ‘When this cruel war is over,’ Hut the home guad, meanwhile, was enjoying themselves hugely. They ro e;ived invitations to supper, to concerts and balls, and, in fact, were laying up on their ribs the fat of the land. If at any tiire the towDS people mtnifested any inclination to do away with these festivities, and the subj.cts cf them, they immediately s’artod a rumor of an iutendod raid from the Canada side and at once put tho town in a state of great alarm an i consternation. Well, the gu'.libtcs were easily con vinced, that it was solely owing to the pre ern e of such a noble and courageous home guttf 1 that they were not sacked and murdered ; as the milk and honey cootiuued to fl w upon them, while the officers wers looked upon with enlarged eyeballs and enjoyed the grateful hom age at a protected people. While these festivities were at their height, about half a dozen of the genu - ine volunteers of the town returned for a few days’ furlough, and for a time shared the honors with tho noble home guard. The transparency of the gilded houor with which they had dressed themselves was easily seen by these regular soldiers and they made up their minds to have somo fun tut of it Os course thev had an invitation to be present at their meetings and join in the general good time, whioh real soldiers know so well how-to make tba best of. So things went on fora few days, and tho visiting volunteers were at length invited to participate in a little supper which the officers were to in dulge in the next night and for which the townspeople were expected to pull their wallets. Hut by this time the true state of DAWSON, GA,, FRIDAY, .JUNE 7% I*o7. aflaiis became known to Dick Slighter, the goad-looking chap who had looked and behaved so sentimentally when he had left tho equally sentimentally not ing Amelia Grimes. lie saw that Sim Lusty was fully bent on making an irn prossion on her heart and on leading her in triumph to the matrimonial al tar There was no particular understand ing between Dick and Amelia, but, some how or other, he felt that she would greatly prefer him to the fat cap tain ,whom no believed to boa Falstaff and who was only making thismilitary show for the purpose of winning the beautiful A uselia, and the manygtod things that came by the way, she being r eh. So Dick opened bis heart to his com panions and they seemed to see it in the same light as he did. lie also called tremblingly upon the youbg lady before whom lie had acted so bashfully. She was fully as mneb at a loss what to say as he was, aud so they locked in each others’ faces very foolishly. But presently the subject of the Home Guard came.up, and, contrary to his ex pectations, she lost the groater portion ol her baslifulnoss and launched out in fl iwery encomiums of the gilded he ms that made Dick feel anyi Ling but happy, ‘1 hear that you and Captain Lusty are—’ ‘Are, what ?’asked Atnslia. ‘At least, it is hinted that—’ ‘That w aat ?’ ‘That you and he arc—’ and the bash ful fellow would have given a year’s pay if he had not put his foot in if. ‘What did you hear, Mr. Slighter?’ she asked again, with a little grain of something in her voice, that, somehow, B'crnee to grate upon his heart. Mr. Slighter! Dick felt like going, and was looking about for his hat when be thought he saw sometbiog of the old light in her eye that induced him to charge again. ‘Well, to tell the truth, Miss Grimes —but it’s none of my business—l heard that you were to fce married. ‘Why, Mr. Mr. Slighter ! ha! ha 1 ha !’ and she laughed iu such merry dental that Dick began to take heart j but when she finished her face again a9 sumed a look that made the sensitive organ under his vest start a s ill livelier breakdown ; she added : ‘People have a right to do such things you kn w.’ ‘Yes but— 4 ‘But whai ?’ ‘Well, never mind Are yen going to the i fficcrs’ supper to night at Man-j gey hail ?’ •J have had an invitation and sen n« i reus m wbv I should not,’ said iho lit-! tie tormentor. ‘I believe the while lot. e.f them to j bo humbug .' after a few moments si- j lenoe. ‘What! our noble Heme Guard hum bugs ?’ ‘lep.s Pet of cowards, Who would run 1 at the first sign of danger.’ mid I>i--L net ling in his choir. And Captain Lus'y— ’ ‘A Falstaff’ ■ j ‘ Ilu ! ha! ha! if 1 only thobght so.’ ‘lf you knew so ?’ ‘Then I should know bow to act.’ ‘ Ami?) eu will be at the ball to night ?,; ‘Y»s ’ ‘Ard if there is no one to come home with you shall I have that pleasure V he was coming right to the point now ; oorning to it like a brave fellow he was. ‘I shovld most certainly be glad of your company under such circumstan ces.’ ‘At all events, I will see you there,’ and, taking a polite leave ot her he hastened to his friends. During the nfternocn there were sev. eral large sized rumors floating about, relative to a laige hand of lawless raid ers who wfcre intending to cr ss a few toilet above the town. Os course the usual consternation fidlowid, and the usual parade of the Home Guard. But there was something in this announo ment, For it bad not been started by ei tbeir of the officers, and seemed to como from a man who lived in the neighbor hood, of wLere the raid was threaten ed. They paraded, but with some little anxiety lest something should turn npi in earnest ard'soil their gilded uniforms From mouth to mouth the inquiry went, ‘Who started it?’ and echo an swered ‘Who started it V but as Dight approached, tho mes'-enger that had been sent to watch the opposite shore returned and reported all quirt along the lines. This restored confidence among the t Akers, aDd the promised suppvr was not dispaired of. Night came and there was a gay as«ent hlago of the beautiful and the best of Swcatham town, gathered tc do hon or to the brave men who held the aegis of their valor over them. Music and danc’ng were indulged in, and the gal lant captain was by all means the lar gest toad in the puddie He was all smijes and military order, and he led the beautiful Amelia Grimes into the fl tor whore others as lovely were whirl ing through the witch mazes of the danco and he managed to become the observ ed of till observers. The moments sped on and still they were chasing the hours with their feet, regardless cj anything without. The I thing was a success in every way, and B<>cial goose bad reached an attitude sel •' dom attaiued by the country bird under the most favorable circumstances. Then e.tmc supper; and to say it was good w-aid be hut a poor compliment to the matrons of Sweatham, although it would wot detract rauoh from tho p<v r<l ' : Urity of the notorious Brown. •• i<s g en ‘ j j etal getter-up of such so—F* 1 ® 008 • n * er ‘ ' taiuments.. Supper w»s followed by speeches, and the speeches by general good humor.— At ltDgth, “Our gallant and noble cap. tain’’ was toasted ; aud that important personage rose to respond amid the rat tle of forks, knives, and crockery-ware, cow and then enlivened by a hi ! hi ! or a graceful wavo es a lady’s handkerchief. Silence followed, aud Lusty begau : “Ahem ! Ladies and Gentleman—Be ing less accustomed to making speeches than to the use of my sword, you must not expect to hear much eloquence from ime on this occasion. But, my friends who could I e silent on such an occasion ? No one who loves this tremendous coun try ! The inspirati nos the American eagle seems to have fallen upon me. Where, under the extensive canopy of— of—of the star spangled banner, where can such people be found ? such splen did wiDe such lovely women? (Ap plause.) But, my friends, I wax warm in the contemplation es it. (Applause.) W hen we have nailed the star-spangled emblem of our immensity to the North pole, and its shadow frigthens tho giants on the extreme of South America” then we shall have only partially filled the measure of eur uu-iiuy Tiie noble women and beautiful soldiers of our country, or rather the vice versa, as I was about saying, that is—well, we arc all considerable, if not more. Lot the wond tremble: let the raiders come, we are ready to meet them and scud them howling back to their filthy home 1 Let them daretssail the eagle, aud his talons, his newly adjusted spurs shall make them whine like a stuck pig I” (Im mense Applause.) lie had by thi- time got the people worked up to a fever bear, and was ab iut to clench the whole thing with a burst of eloquence, when a sergeant rushed* into the room out of breath, and fell headlong over a lady’s dress just as he placed a letter in tho hands of thd cap tain. Vi ich trembling hands he broke the seal, and with pallid check he read its contents, dating which his listeners manifested much anxiety and gtzed iu qoiripgly in each other’s face. lie called bis brother officers to follow him to the aute-room, and requested the people to await their di liberations.— Hastily collecting tho anxious candi dates lor the benors of war he read the letter to them. It proved or purported to be written by the .-cout that they had sent out, as he galoped from tho advan eing raiders. They were coming in full force, and would doubtless be upon them before there was any other alarm. \\ tiat was to be done ? There were several to ask the question, but none to answer it : aid wLile they stood there iu c uncil ihere arose a great clangor outside, and without sending in his card in arnnd raider sprang into their midst. 'J he fat captain immediately camd to 'he right about ; and, in company with t i-bm h r officers, made a sudden chaDge of base. ; ‘ They eomd they come ! the Can- J n neks ! the Cannucks!" wag the uni i versal shout, and such a getting out and .rotting homo as was at teat time seen as sold jin if ever been witnessed before The A-tp’aio and his valiant officers took 'o the woods, and wrhe hot seen for hree rf'Mk, attain order to fell all evil suspicion of th ir valor they pretended o have been chasing a detachment of j the enemy over the line Hut after they bad all left the hall but Amelia I Hr mes, Dick SI ghtor, who, in company with bis friend, made nil the row, threw ffbis mask, extended his arm and waited uj tln her boftv\ In a vear from that time he married her : but that lit tle epis de opened the eyes of the town people, and the Home Guard scon after disbanded. A Quaker widower, tire I of single blessedness, hunted up a second wife, whom he found in a ‘‘strong tn tin hood suflrage” neighborhood, lie took her to his home, and time flew on with azure wings, they indulging in bright dreams And, says the Gazette, feotno times in those dreams they would im agine that the word “white” was stricken from the constitution, and start frorti theit slumber in ectacies of joy. And thtis the pensive autumn .receded before the stern breath of w in ter, and anon the springtime came, “gentle Anna,” and with it hyacinths and bird carols, and into the house hold of our Quaker —a nigger baby.— A baby with the word “white” strick en out. That’s so! That's what’s the matter.

Sociability Among I’aimci*. Nuturu'ly, tho farmer is an unselfish mud. His labors are mostly out of doors His culling takes him much abroad, and enables him to mingle con siderably with the world. Yet, look ing at the very large proportion of the population embraced in this pursuit, and the important influence exercised hy it over all our affairs, it is a sub ject rs common remark, even by nil agricultiiralli-'s themselves, that the ir social intercourse should be so much restricted. There is no cause for exclusiveness on the part of farmers that we can see than tho "treading in the footsteps of their predecessors.” Be this ue it may there are other causes at. work chang ing this for tho hotter. CouWy fairs, bringing agriculturalists together from districts sufficiently near to each other to make acquaintanceship pleasant and lasting, and putting them in friend ly emulation in matters and things in volving their agrestic skill and their success, are clearly working to form more do e companionship between those whose domestic comforts tmd family enjoyments trust bo gteatly pro tnoted in future. Little clubs among the farmers of a neighborhood, to meet once a week to discuss or tufa over tho innumerable subjects connected with the intelligent prosecution of their noble profession, produ c a decidedly fraternizing and socializing effect. While these local associa’im,s should not be too formal and restricted, they shou'd nave an official organization us better calcula ted to cause punctuality at the meet ings, as well us to add to their pettua nency. On these Occasions, the wives ami daughters of families should always accompany their husbands, fathers or brothers—not to participate, of course, in the proceedings that may take place, bu to increase the agraeab lily of the tneotings, and to share in the pleasure of these deligh’ful inter changes of good neighborhood. In deed if the truth must bespoken—and we are ready to do it on all occasions, especially upon such a 'ne as this— there is Very little social enjoyment in tb j world which is not refined and made doubly enjoyment by the pres cnee of woman. Neck-Twisting in Clitirclt. A good story is told of all eccen tric parson, who was sorely an noyed by a habit his people bad ae quTed(nnd which prevails, by the way in all other Churches, even now and hereabouts to some extent,) cf twist ing their hecks around every time any body entered the door, and missed up the aisls of the meeting house, to see whtt manner of person it might be.— Wearried with the annoyance, the old man exclaimed ohe Sunday : “Brethren, if you will only cease turning ynhr heads round whenever the door opens, and will keep your at tendon on me, I will promise to tell you, as I preach, who it is that cornea in ” Acfeordin rly he went on with the Services, and presently made a stop as one of the dca-ons elite ed* Sayihg— “That is Deacon who keeps the grocery opj bSite.” And then announced, in turn, the adv nt of each individual proceeding the while with his sermon nS cotrlpos edly as the circumstances would ad mit, when at last a stranger came in,- when he cried out— “A lit le old man in green specta cles, and a drab oVercOat —don’t know him—you nil can turn round and look for yourselves this time ” It is hardly necessary to a Id, that the good man carried his point, and them wms but little neck twisting Seen in his congregation after that day. War Anecdote —At one time du ring the w ar a large number of 'ne of ficers were stopping at hotels in Wash inglon, at the time, perhaps, when sev wi brigadiers were hit by the stone which it was thrown from off Wil lard’s. At that time one of those ter rible youngsters was crying, in front of the National : “Extra Evening Star, third edition, another great battle 1” An officer, coming out just then, (a captain,) the boy accosts him : “Colonel, have you a Star ?’’ (They always indu'ge iu a littlo flat tery of breveting, when occasion of fers.) The officer buys, and running his eyes over the paper eagerly, calls out: “Here, boy, I don’t see any bat tle I” Getting beyond tho range of the officer’s boot, the newsboy replies : “Xo, you never w ill, lounging about these ’ere hotels V Quick Acting Composts.—Materi als are within easy reach of most peo ple that, judiciously compounded, will make first rate fertilizers for the gar den, for field crops in the bill, for the lawn, or for the top dressing mowing lands or grain.

The Havana correspondent of the New York Times relates the follow ing: An amusing duel took pface yester day about five miles from the city. It originated in a remark made by a man to his friend on seeing a lady corn ing out of churcti. The lady was un known to the person making the re mark, but happened to bo the other’s wife. A slap in the face was the con sequence, end a challenge came - soon after, 't his was accepted, and the seconds selected a place. The wife got wind of the affair and imnieili itelt took steps to prevent the dreadful ca tastrophe. Her filst tin light Was t" notify tho police, but that might have given her husband the reputation of a coward, and she took better method ly g ing to the home of the other par ty', where she mot his wife, and a plan was soon concocted between the femi nines Tt is morning both husbands got up early; wives ditto. Husbands took cartistgcN, and their wives—one armed w ith five children and the other with three— i ok other vehicles in waft ing. \t hen tho duelists arrived at the spot they were somewhat astonish ed on seeing the other enrrieges drive up with their passengers, who coluly informed the men that they nud also come to fight so ns to make it a com plete family qtfnrrel, each at flic shine time producing an empty p'urse and a package of baby litien as thefr nrffis and munitions of war. 'The little ones had popguns umj fire crackers, aoo soon some indulged in a cry.
