TALBOTTON! GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, IS B2.
The Noble Land.
Tho South has had a plethora of
handsome compliments from great
men, anil even Mr Charles Dickens,
on his first fault-finding tour could
find no worse to say than that the
planter, whose hospitality ho tool;
gratis, did not show him the inside
of ins negro houses.
Earl Baaconsfield said, in Lo
thair, that the only people On earth
comparable to the English squires
and titled land owners, were the
landed gentry of the South. Much
as the South Ins changed by the
destruction of her patriarchal sys
tem of labor and the infusion of
blood foreign to her traditions, still
there is much of tho old life and
slow return to the old ways and
ideas. Wc are not these who wel
come tho factory aud tho raanulac
turing population as Go.l sends; and
iho small towns and plantations will
always be tho best part of the South.
Not tho richest—but in morality,
physical beauty and manly and wo
manly perfection’s, fr tho best.
Even /low, tho young mail is wisest
who does his courting on a planta
tion and avoids the second-hand
airs that are a season old iu New
York and Paris.
In spcaKing ol iho Smith, Oscar
Wilde remarked to a reporter; It
is impossible n- t to think nobly of a
o,unity that has produced Pa'rick
Henry, Thomas Jefferson George
Washington and Jefferson Divin.
Besides its groat men, 1 admire
in tho South the wonderful beauty
of its vegetation. 1 have so--n no
forests in Europe more wonderful
uo flowers more exquisite in per
fume or in color, It is worth while
to come over bore merely to sec the
magnolia in full bl ssou). It should
bo—the South- the homo of art in
America, because it possesses tho
most perfect surroundings, and
now that it is recovering from the
hideous ruin of tho war, J have no
doubt that nil these beautiful arts,
m whose causo 1 will spend my
yoiph iu [ilea,ling, will spring up
among you. The South lias produ
ced tho best poet in America —K I
gar Allen Poe; and with all its
splendid traditions, it would bo im
possible not to belive lhat she will
oontinuo to perfect what nlto Ins
began so nobly. Tho very physique
of the people in tho South is far
li-er than that in iho North, and a
t mperainoiit infinitely more sus
ceptible to tho infl .unices of beauty.
Boys, G° Fomo.
All, hoys I you have gone out from
the homestead into the rush and bus.
tie of life, do you ever think of the pa
tient mothers who are stretching out
to you arms that are paw erles to draw
you hack to the old home nest; arms
that were strong to carry you once,
pressed to hearts that love you now
as then?
No matter, though your hair is sil
ver-streaked, and Dot m the cradle
calls you grandpa, you are “the boy"
so long as mother lives. You are the
children of the old home. Nothing
crowds you out of your mother’s heart.
Yon may have failed in the battle of
life, and your manhood may have been
crushed out against the wall of cir
cumstances ; you may have been
prosperous, gained wealth and fam<*,
but mother’s love have followed you
always. Many a “boy" has not been
home for five or ten or twenty years.
And all this time mother has been
waiting. Ah, who does not know the
agony expressed by that word ? She
may be even now saying, “I dreamed
of my John last night. He may drop
in io dinner,” and the poor trembling
hands prepare some favorite dish lor
him. Dinner comes and goes, but
Jo! n comes not with it. Thus day
after day, month after month, year af
ter year passes till at last, “hope de
ferred maketh the heart sick,” aye,
sick unto deaili; the feeble arms are
stretched out no longer.
The dim eyes are closed, the gray
hair smoothed for the last time, and
the tired hands are folded for everlas
ting rest, and the mother waits no
more on earth for one who comes not.
God grant that she may not wait for
his coming in that heavenly home.
Once more I say unto you, boys, go
home, if only Dr a day. Let mother
know you have not forgotten her. I ler
days may be numbered. Next winter
may cover her grave with snow. —
Watch Tower.
This world is all a fleeting show,
sang Thomas Moore; but it is of
tener a variety show than a genteel
comedy.

A Change of Mind.
From the Detroit Freo.
“There is a certain man in this town
: whom I’m going to lick until lie won’t
;be out of bed in six months after,
and I want to know what it will cost
me ?”
So said a man who entered a (Iris
wold street law office yesterday, and
it was plain to be seen that his tlattder
was way up.
“Let’s see ?’’ mused the lawyer.
“I’ll defend you for ?ro. If you lick
him in a first-class manner your fine
will be about $25. Then there will
be a few dollars costs, say enough to
make the whole thing foot up SSO. I
think that I can safely promise that it
won’t cost you over that.”
“Forty dollars ! Forty dollars for
licking a man! Why, I can’t go
that 1”
“Well, pull his nose, then. The
last ease l had of that sort the fine
was only sls. That will reduce the
gross sum to thirty.”
“I want to tear him all to pieces,
but I can’t afford to pay like that lor
the fun. How much would it cost to
spit 011 him 1”
"Well, that’s an assault, you know,
but the fine might not be overtoil dol
dollars. I guess $25 would sec you
through.”
“Lands ! how I do .want to ctush
that man I Suppose 1 knock his hat
off?
Well, about S2O would cover that.
I can hardly hold myself, but S2O is
pretty steep. Can't i call him a liar?
Oh, yes, I think £ls would cover
that.
Well, I’ll see about it. I’m either
going to call him a liar or else tell ev
erybody that he is no gentleman, or
else give him an awful pounding. I’ll
see you again.
My fee is $5, observed the lawyer.
What for?
For my advice,
Thojjulverizor glared at him f r
lin'f a miimlo, and then laid down a
V, and started slowly out with the
remark:
I’m going straight to that man
mid beg bis pardon, and tell him
Unit I’m Iho bi gest fool in Detroit!

Tea.
The cup that cheers and yet not
ineliriatos, Inis long been among tho
proveibial pleasures of life. Vet to
bo truly delightful nn I aesthetic, it
must be taken with all proper oe
longings. At the outset, let us re
pudiate the baehilor ten. There is
sure to bo cigar ashes iu the tea-pol.
Tho fellow will boil it and nmko it
a belter extract, not the mild infus
ion, Tlio chances are that ho gave
his dog's last food out of th it sat -
cer, and thero may bo powder and
shot in tlio enp instead of sug ir.
Equally do wo repu liato tho soi-.r
old maid's tea. Thero aro some
svroet, good old m fids, smelling of
dried roso leaves, but the crab-: p
plo sort always t ike tea and snuff,
aud it isn’t good, mixed. Tho cat
licks her saucers atid tho milK is
ant to suggest roaches. Mot'y
bachelor and maiden tons are lone
ly, and tlio victim goes out and
contemplates’ suicida with tho
clothes line. Hotel teas tiro apt to
ho of tho 50 cent-a-pound-and.give
you-a-chroino-with-evory pound-or
der. Tho waiter is sweaty, and
leaves the rnarg of his fingers inside
the china. Tho assistant cook has
probably put tho heads and tails of
■ iis privato shrimps into tho pot to
increase the flavor and hide the re.
dnetion for his family supply.
Boarding house tea is belter if tlio
girls are pretty, and if excess of pi
ano thunder has col soured the milk.
But tho following is our prescrip,
tion fu'.iy tested at tho hearth: First
a-protiy wifOj She can he had for
pluck and preservance, and is not to
be set aside when old and tired v ith
nursing your children, for her beauty
is a soul quality, anti, Ike old wine,
is better for the age. Then a neat
home, not gaudy, and a round table
with a crimson tea cover. The colo r
1 ghts faded cheeks. We also use Bol
shaw’s red C oil as a table beautifier.
Then a china tea set with gold band,
only costs $ 1 2, and the trans parent
china passes the light through. The
English toast, a few cakes, it you like,
a dish of peaches, and th-n the tea
set. The one selected expressly for
the readers of the Southern Musical
Journal, is of the new upright style,
made by the famous Meridian Britaina
Company, It is heavy silver plate, in
five pieces—coffee pot, tea pot, cream
jug, sugar and slop bowl. It is the
third Ludden & Bates'. Jounrnal Pre
mium of the year 1882, and the cost
of a chance, with the Journal, is sl,
for $75 in silver.
