A Newspaper Adventure. [From the Macon Daily Enterprise.] My Dear : mith: Upon feuding the short history (if the now gone Nupole oil of the Press, James Gordon Ben nett, and how lie started the Herald in u cellar, worked Itis way up, etc., my mind is cat riel back to a time that will be forever a green spot in my memory. Many years ago I lead with no little degree of interest how Poor Richard commenced Ins career as a journalist, and also how poor Robert Bonner wheeled his paper in a whet * banow, and all that sort ol tiling.— The more I read, the more I wanted to try my band and build up a fortune'; and the more I studied ver it im- mure I was determined So one bright frosty morning, 1 bid fan well t . the old folks o my home which iuid in a small town in Georgia, and with one "hundred well-e trued dt liars in my p t k it, 1 set nut for that Mecca of every boy New York. When 1 reached thut gn at city of cities, 1 I ad only fi! ty dollars left, yet i was resolute, and I accordingly vent to work, me ti second hand pii'r-s, a font of type, and fitted tip an office in a dark cellar on Beckman street. ill* a board laid ftom window to window us a counter, 1 began my career as a j urn alist. Well do I recollect that morn ing when 1 began the first “take’’ on the New York Slat jack! I had pre viously written leudeis upon every known topic, and -it was upon this pile of manusuript that I commenced stuck in two ponderous leaders, then wandered ■ m in search ol local items, fully impressed with the idea that everybody kn w u.e as the editor of the Slapjack. T.ny were obtained; for in a city like New York items an always plentiful. VV en they wen set up, 1 borrowed a wheelbarrow o ( Ululate B- inter, yon know, and bought my paper I went all around tlu-priii cipal streets in ord r to show the peo ple how I didn’t mind to vvoik, bin strange to say, no one seemed to care whether 1 minded work or not. i fact,a policeman said if 1 didn’t trundle my borrow in the the street it stead of the sidewalk, he’d ; ut me in the T< mbs And when I iollowed his kind advice, I was run over about fourteen times by drays, omnibusses, etc-, and I fully determined to hire my paper carried on a dray from that day out. Reaching my office nearly killed tip, I wrote a stunning article comment ing upon the condition of the streets and hurling thunder and lightning up on the head of the mayor and council men. My heart jumped into my throat when I ‘j ulled’’ the first number of the Slapjack! My fortune was made—l really owned and ediled a paper in New Yoi k! I was my own proprietor, editor, printer, devil, pressman and newsboy, and when 1 wandered with two hundred copies of the great Slap jack under my am I was happy. They sold Ike fury Everybody bought one. When I counted ovei my cash that mottling, I found myself self the possessor of just four dollars in one and wo cent coj-p s. Neti morning I issued double tbe number and started out full of hope. To my dismay, 1 sold only three! Just I ere, permit me to tenia!k, my star began its descending Course, but not foi a moment did I let my h 'pe of success wane. I thought perhaps the 1 ind and generous people vv. re not cognizant ol the fact that I was a hardworking youth, doing all of my own work, and trying to build up fame and name, so I began e new line. I explained my position to the public, winding up with C| t Jrorhnt Waif* VOL. I.} jen earnest appeal to "help me Cassius are I sink.” Tncn I distributed my papers free, hoping ihat everybody would read and then patronize me.— Far from it. 1 only sold one, and that was to a blind organ grinder, who said lit; would buy it to help me along 1 shall never forget that organ grind er. Then I set me down to think. I wondera and Imw Bonner succeeded. To be suie I bad followed everything he had done; but nothing, especially that wheel-barrow scrape, that I did do at , racted the alien ion of a siug|e soil I. I owed washing and board bills Notwithstanding the fact that 1 had landed them to the skies, one for her incomparable skill, and the other for her knowledge of the wants of tire in nt'r man and man’s comforts, they in sisted upon being paid. 11l luck at tended tile whither I went. I was con siderably discouraged, but 1 was still bent upon continuing the public tion of the Slapjack. My circulation was over a dozen and rapidly decreasing. My advertising patronage: was Unit and to my prospectus and 1 had plenty of room for that. I made it convenient to pass Aslor, Vanderbilt and other rich men, an 1 whenever I did so I w-s head over heels iti work, but they nev er any attention to me. They passed by seemingly i.neoucions that I was even iiving Fin illy 1 went t > B inner and told him o! my r übi.-s, h w I had struggled and all lhat sort of thing, and wound up by asking foi help He smiled a sweet smile aiid said: “Young man you number about the thousandth that has tome t-> m In tlie same way, and now let me give you a bit of advice: never undertok a business that von an* not cut oat for.’’ With that 1 left, issued tny valedictory and leit for home. ] have never tried to Start as Bonner did. nor to start a newspaper. Jaqdes Strop. Dangers of the Labor move ment. There is danger that fa but mg men, in combining for mutual protection, will organize around the core of self ness. This will be to imitate the very evil w liicli makes corporate wealth dan gerous It will have the inlieient and essenti I mischief of the class spirit.— Selfishness is the Ik- tie of life. It will be no less destructive and dishonoring among laboring men, tbati among cap it-.lists. If the workingmen care not fi ing for the whole commnnity, but only orcliii fly for themselves, they will de serve no sympathy. Each trade may have a special benevolence for its own members, but the whole is more impiir taut than any fraction, and the com mon wealth sliou and bo included in the intents a. and purposes of workingmen’s pliins If labor is to fight capital by a rivalry in selfishness, then society wi.l be nut as a caica.-s lying between t he % ull tires. * * * Workingmen are in danger of spend ing their force in following glittering social theories Certainly, they have a- much light to speculate as any nth ers But, no degree of intelligence will ever enable any class or individual to forecast she shape of society in the future. The world lias its own law ol develop! nnut, and society will make its own paths, refusing all speculative lines that may be drawn to coax it. Men are in danger of regarding Wo.ik as an evil, and Leisure as an end, in itself, Lab >r is a saleable com modity. To raise the puce of it by legitimate means is fa r and wise.— But it will be a supreme folly for poor men to decrease the quality of labor in the community. White here and there a fo.v men aro overworked, the great mass of men do not work enough. What we want is freedom of men to work, to work as long as they will, and to sell their labor in the best mar ket Odious as the despotism of Capi tal, it is not a whit more odious than Labor-despotism Freedom is the uni versal need of men; —freedom of con science, freedom in thought, civil free dura; liberty of speech, of vote, of work; restiaint upon tbe animvl, blit liberty to the divine, that is in man! For special reasons, and as a tempo laiv expedient to gain some eminent good, men can curtail labor and res train their own liberties. But this must be the occasional, and not the permanent medicine, not food. There is danger, too, that the work • men will be godless and 'irreligious, and therefore shadow aud narrow.— it is not neoessaiy that the co-opera- FAIRBURN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1872. live labor of the world shall be Pro testant, or Catholic; it is not necessary that, it shall join itself to this or that sect; but Labor is absolutely incom plete without a deep moral sense. II labor becomes atheistic, unchristian, antagonistic to the great truths of the gospel, it will commit suicide, * * * * There is a danger, too, that these co-operative aHsb.-.iatioiis will set aside the gicat law of subordination. You Cannot by legislation bring all men up to an equalitv. There are certain great laws which are inevitable ar fate. Yuti can make all men equal to each other politically; you can make all men equal before the law; you can make all men equal i lights and du lies; hut you cannot make all men equal in their earning-power. It is a species of rank injustice to undertake to strike an equality between one class and another. If you make the wages of a weak and ignorant man the same as the Wiipes of a strong and wise man, yon do that which is fundament ally unjust. It is not a kindness bill an injury. It is demoralizing. It dis regards a distinction which God made, and which will always continue to ex ist- It takes away the stimulus tode velopement and industry.

Christian Union. Defter from China* A friend of oms lias kindly furnish ed us with the following letter for pub lication: Pekin, China, ) July 17th, 1872 ) Mr. Henry W Dear Sir: —1 feel it my duty as wel as pleasure, to write ymt a letter, knowing that you are atix ions to hear from me I arrived in this city yesterday, and I am confident that yon have traveled enough to know that there is no fun in it. I anticipated much pleasure before I started, but when 1 had gotten about a thousand miles fr m land I became sea-sick, my friends gave me some consolation by telling me that I would get use to it, and soon get well; but there came on a powerful storm, and tlie waves rolled so high that they look ed like huge mountains of ice, rolling down in large avalanches It appe m to me like I was in the middle of them I rem ined sick until we landed in Asia Minor, close by the place where Troy used to stati i. It was such a lonesome seene-y that I wished I was at home. There was the ruins of Troy which presented a melancholy appear ance to me; but I did not tarry long at that place. I then commenced my journey towards Palestine, and saw some beautiful landscapes, ruins of cit es, edifices, towns and temples, which I suppose to be of tbe Phoenicians! Scythians and others, but I cannot tell yon in this little manuscript, which I am writing, half I have seen. Iso n came to Palestine which struck me with admiration. Sometimes I saw beautiful little towns, and at others the signs of ancient buildings. Jeru salem, the capital, is one among the first cities of antiquity. It is not like it was in ancient days, but it is the must important place in Asia. Here is the spot where our Savior was crucified and where many' other important things of record took place which 1 have not time to mention.— I have seen many cuiiosities since left home, which if my whole trip f-nnil Georgia to this place was written, giving a description of all I have seen, it would make a large book. I am now in a curious part of the world. We don’t, have anything to eat that you ever saw, the principal diet being fried leaves and roasted ri o' B . Your trend, A. W. M. Boy-Devils. A sad incident occurred in Steuben ville County, N. Y. Infinimiy, a few days ago.resulting in a horrible death, the burying of a small lad named Mur phy, aged five years, a reel footed child, who was deserted by the mother to cloak her shame. It appears that two other pauper children, named Phil lip Sheridan and Andy Stewart, dug a huge whole in tiie orchard adjoining the ii.-fiiniary. Altei eff cling this part of the dia bolical act, the two little fiends, whose ages n,e respetively five and ten years, repaired to the iufimiury grounds and caught the reel-footed boy and carried him to his living grave. Shrieking, yet without power of being heard, the little victim was caught by the young execiitiouers and forced into tile hole Holding him down, they shoveled in the earth and stones upon his writhing body, stifling his cries as best they Could until the poor def ruled body censed to Struggle, and the spirit took its flight to Him who gave it. The young murderers went back to the house witYout informing any one el i )* deed, ;u and the hurried hoy's ab sence was first noticed by Mr Pm ter, th< u eiintenderit, about one o’clock U m making iiiqo ries a little black boy iuh'i med nim that Andy Stewart ami Pnii. Sheridan had “tunried 'Limy’ down tu the holler” On going t„ tl u . spot Mr. Porter found the newL made grave, and below the 1 ifi less body ol ‘ LimAy. ’ The little murderers have been sent to tin refoinmtory. t'his is one of the saddest incidents we have evet li ; 1 1 to record. “Strategy mi B y.” An exchange tells a novel love story: \ young couple planned an elopement; tiie girt descended Item her room on tee traditional ladder, but at the gate they were met by the father of the girl and the ministe", by whom they were eseorted o the parlor where '• u,- I,- tr.ijn-tjc itti-y round ail tneir ti lat ves collected for the marriage ceremonies, which took p ace at once It was a neat paternal freak. Not near as neat as that of a fund parent that we know. [l,i heard his daugh ter and her fellow plan an elopomenr. The next day the old man waited on the young one and addressed him thus: ‘Yotu’rc a fine brave youth, and 1 do not object t‘ you for a son-in law.— Here’s a hundred dollars t- aid in the elopement. May yon live happily in tin'same house, and may no accident occur to throw the least shadow on the sunshine of your life. All I request is that yon elope with my daughter—she is a mighty nice girl,but somehow 1 and her mother could never travel smooth lv with jter, we don’t know her good points—elope with her'to such a dis tance that she won’t return to her lov ing father and mother any more.— Good bye, sonny and may you be hap py.” Tlieie was an elopement that evening us one The young man went unaccompanied He thought every thing couldn’t be light when tee atlier was so anxious to get rid of the girl T e father looks on this as a neat bit of strategy, for one who bud never been on McClellan's staff. A YTonclei. A litlleigii'l named II ■ ltie Paine, aged fourieen years, of Sardinia, N. Y . is afflicted with a dreadful an ’ must uri account! tdu disease. Hattie, when a child of fix years of age. was on a visit to he# friends in the East, nnd ot her ret unit home iulonned her parents that she hdd seen a mad dog killed The subject.soon faded front therecol lection ol the parents, only to present itself ag.iinjnn the appearance of the fearful syiutinis of hydrophobia. On the 14 1 1 1 oflAngust, she went to the fields in search of berries; on her re turn she complained of great heat and exhaustion; oil the day following she suffered with severe pains in the spine, side, head, and stiffness of the muscles of the neck. On the 16th,she had sin gular nervous paroxysms, interrupted w-.th frequent sighs, or a peculiar kind ol moaning, Wailing, sobbing sound; shuddering tremors ran through her frame; a fearful expression of anxiety, terror and ck-spair was depicted on her countenance. On the 17th, this dreadful malady assumed a more se rious fnrm-tkfc convulsions were fear ful, excited l>y various external inflii euces, especially by tin* sound of liquid j changing ft or* one vessel to aimtliei ; the - yes rolling unremittingly; o incr. diuatc quantity of Baltva issuing from* {NO. 7. her mouth, and forming a foam ou her self and others. After temporary ease us the convulsions tiie teeth remain firmly set, relaxing in about twenty minutes; tin* mind is reasonably calm, and collected, and consciousness is re tained The most remarkable feature of this case, that which divides tin opinions of the attending | hysiefans, is during the remission of the si mp- I loins, the ease with w. ich she takes loud and the little or no inconvenii nee with which she invariably drinks a common drinking glass half full of wa ! ler. There is no reasons to believe ihat she has ever been bitten by a mail dog. Going a Fishing.
