If Dr. Brantley had not cut his
oats as Boon as he did, he would have
had to do like the man we have read
of, built his fence further out to
give them room to grow. They are
the finest we have seen this season.

The Festival.—The ice ordain and
strawberry party in the handsome
grounds of the Christian church on
Thursday night was a most pleasant
affair and resulted in a pecuniary
success. All present had a good
time and the people enjoyed it huge
ly and would like it repeated.
The frequent rains during the past
few days interfered with farming op
erations particularly the cutting of
grain, nearly all of which is about
ready for the cradle, and next week
will be a very busy one if the weath
er is good. The grain generally looks
well.

This commodious House is all it

new RAIL X^O-A-33,
We see a notice in the Wrightsville
Recorder, that the citizens will hold
* meeting on the 27th, of this month,
to make some active move towards
building the proposed Rail Road
from Tennille to Wrightsville and
Dublin. We are glad see t ey are
still pushing this project. We hope
by the firs^ of January 1881,that the
Dublin people will have the pleasure
°f hearing the whistle of our engine.
Let .the citizens of Dublin & Laurens
alsofake bold of and push it.
M « want the Sandersville and Ten-
n hle Rail Road, to connect with it
at Tennille, and we then will have a
road from our city, via Tennille,
Wrightsvills to Dublin Ga, which
will be the means of building up our
towus and counties. Let us have
the l oad.

COMMUNICATION
A WOKD TO THE WISE.
Eds. Mercury.
Almost till the difficulties and
trials ofthis life are born of haste.
Did we not jump at conclusions,
and speak before we think, there
would bo less feelings hurt, and
more sympathy and brotherly love
existing. Often in our haste in
repeating what some one else said
by citlief a word, or the emphasis
we give that word, we cause hard
feelings, where none would have
existed lmd wo been slow to repeat
what we hear, and when angry
ourselves we frequently say things
that wo are all the rest of our lives
sorry for, which, had we paused
to think awhile, wo would not
have to repent of. ‘Many an in
nocent one is made to suffer, thro’
haste and thoughtlessness. When
Augustus Ctesnr granted the re
quest of Athendorus the philoso
pher, and by reason of his old age
allowed him to retire from his ser
vice. lie gave Oresar this advice:
“llcmcmber Cnesar, whenever
thou art angry, that thou savor do
nothing, until thou hast repeated
the twenty-four letters of the al
phabet. This was excellent ad
vice for a heathen; but a Christian
might prescribe a wiser rule still
When thou art angry, answer not,
until thou has repeated the fifth
petition in the Lord’s prayer For
give us our 1 trespasses as we for
give those that trespass against us.
then add, the Saviour’s comment
on it: For, if ye forgive not men
their trespasses, neither will your
Heavenly Father forgive yours.
How few lmrsh words would be
said; how seldom a kind heart
wounded, what sweet brotherly
love would exist. Pause and place
yousolf in the place of those you
are condemning; think,how should
l like them to treat me under the
same circumstances. Many times
we get angry for some trifle, did
we wait to think first, we would
view entirely different.. One day
while the Caliph Hasson was tit
bistable, bis servant let fall a dish
of 1 lot meat, and scalded him se
verely. lie fell on his knees and
repeated these words to his mas
ter. “Paradise is for them who
restrain their anger.” I am not
angry with thee said the Caliph.
“And continued: for those who
forgive offenses toward him.”
forgive thee, thine said his master.
“Bilt above all those who rcturi
good for evil” added tjie slave. “.
set thee at liberty, and give thee
ten dinars” said the Caliph. In
his haste he might have pronoun
ced severe punishment to his .ser
vant, but upon pausing for
awhile tie acted noble. Always
before committing an act, repro
ving those you think wrong or
speaking hastily, ask God to help
you to think before acting, and to
make thee ready to forgive and
hide a brothers’ fault.
"Whatever you undertake, do
slowly and there will but tew mis
understandings in this life. A1
ways be sure you are in the right
before venturing, then you will be
certain to succeed.
First find out if things
are strictly as represented to you,
before you repeat, then no harm
will he done. Do not harbor hard
feelings for every trivial offence,
but cultivate a forgiving spirit.
“Recompense to no man evil for
evil.” He ye kind and forgiving,
“even as God for Christ’s sake
hath forgiven you.’ ’ Repeat not
everything you hear lest you be
placed on the list with the slan
derer. Always be slow to speak,
slow to get angry, quick to lend
aid in time of trouble. It you
can say no good, be sure you speak
no evil and you will always be in
the right. Well Wisher
