Poetry.
0, Be not the First.
O ho not tne first to discover
A blot on the fane or' a friend,
A Haw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true in t!.e on J.
Wo none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall:
Then let us speak as well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
How often the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet;
To cove-, a soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
IIow oiten the friends wo hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal,
A smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most lalse and untrue;
And tin s our bolief may bo shaken,
In hearts that are honest and true.
Leave base minda te barber suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects;
Let ours be a noble ambition,
Tor baso is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall:
So let us speak w"11 of our brother,
Or spoak not about him at all.
The Kind of Literature to be Placed
W ilhin the Reach of Children.
Youth is the tiuio in which character
ia moulded. Impressions received in
childhood last through all time A
little childs mind is like a sheet of clean
white paper, ever ready to receive iui
pressions, good or bad, as circumstances
or opportunity dictate. Those who
have the care and guidance of children
cannot begin too early to have their
«* r “
&OQ OOOlG. Tb0 Stamping of these
young minds, it must bo remembered,
is indelible. What a fearful thing to
^ aD insedber Of that which i 8 evil On
a l.llUUan Soul without the power 1 of
erasing - or checking - its intluencc!
‘O this day ot hooks, papers and pe
riodicals many of the youth of our
land form their ideas of that mysterious
life that is before them by reading
whatever comes in their way. What
mistaken ideas of life are received from
much of the literature of the day! The
young mind unable to judge the tru9
j and ures good it—takes from it the all false In—the and wheat evil, treass and
:
| yellow-backed tares together- literature Especially should the
aDd the high
ly colored exciting 6tories of many of
our periodicals and nespapers be dis¬
approved. They person the mind for
I S 00 ' 1 - sound - Instructive reading. After
; reading “Buffalo Bill," "The Scout,"
I I he Noble Red Mau, otc.^ it is hard
to bring an active young mind down
j from those dizzy heights of imagination
| to the dull study ot complex fractious.
laws of gravitation and motion, laws of
health, Latin, Greek, grammar, etc.
That such literature does have a very
bad and dangerous iotlucDce on the
young is very evident. Many ehildreu
every year, after reading those thrilling
adventures aDd glowing descriptions of
the “golden west" have become dissat¬
isfied with the tame and seemingly un¬
eventful school life and have left their
homes to seek their fortunes and follow
their hero. Most of these deluded for¬
tune hunters find their mistake, and
like the prodigal return, hut with the
taste for good reading impaired. Such
literature should not he placed within
tne reach of children. There are plen¬
ty of good, useful hooks of moral tone
that are suitable, pleasing and at the
same time instructive. History is now
gotton up in such a pleasant style that
it is a source of amusement as well as
instructive to read it. Abbott's biato
rios for the young are very good. If
novels must be read, historical are pre¬
ferable to those whose chief merit seems
to he the excitement they may produce
and the false ideas of life they may cre¬
ate. Every piece a child reads should
contain a grain of truth, either moral,
philosophical, political or historical,
that it may spring up and bear some
fruit of usefulness. It is quite irnpora
taut, too, that the youth should be con¬
versant with the topics of the day,
which may bo found in the leading
papers. Especially should each one be
posted on their own home news, and
nowhere can be found a sample of more
good, moral, interesting and instructive
reading than our own home paper.
Somo of the striped stockings this
spring are made with one continuous
spiral stripe, so that when the wearer
stalks across a muddy street the spec.

walk.
BLAIRSVILLE LETTER.
Blairsvillh, Ga., Juno 8, 1880.
Mr. Editor: After a vacation of some
weeks our school begin yesterday morn
'
• We pleased
mg. were to . see a very
large attendance. Prof. Mauney is a
kind, reserved, genteel and much es
toemed gentleman, and deserves the
praise of all those who are acquainted
with him. Students wishing to enter
school cannot find a cheaper and better
place in Georgia than Blairsvilie. On
tho West it is bounded by tho
■winding Notley; on the South by the
Wellborn Mountain; this mouuta n ob
tained its name from an old and reliable
citizen who represented this county in
the .i,„ legislature . in by-gone , days. , On „
tho north and east, by tho Ivy and
Gumlog mountains. There is n» place
to excel it in upper Georgia; the pure
ness of its air, and healthfulnesa of its
climate is not surpassed auy where in
the State. A distanco of twelve or
fourteen miles from this place, is the
famous Blood and Slaughter, that rise
four thousand seven hundred feet above
tho level of the ocean. Here wo are in
tho neighboring vicinitv of other tow¬
ering peaks that rise from three to four
thousand feet. Three hundred yards
north-east of this peak boils the head
waters of Notley river. Traveling down
this stream a distance of two miles, we
approach the beautiful Mulkoy shoals,
that fall a distance of seventy fathoms,
and forms a chasm below one hundred
and eighty feet iu circumference. Trav¬
eling along this beautiful stream we be¬
hold somo of the finest meadow lands
in all this country. Tho people of the
mountains are surrounded with mauy
blessings if they would only u.so the
proper means to enjoy thorn.
Wo see much commenting iu t.he
papers about, the appunnneUt of Joseph
E. Brown as United States Senator.
We heartily endorse tho appointment,
believing that Gov. Colquitt could not
have found a more eligible man in the
State. We are willing to trust him
with southern democracy and southern
rights. Brown once did ride au ox to
mill, hut now ho rides a steam engine
to Congress.
Commissioners court met bore to-day.
Five cases tried—four acquitted; the
other laid over on account of a witness,
Robinson brought, a crowd ot new pris¬
oners ia here to-day, from Lumpkin
and Gaddistown. We are unable to
say what will he their doom. Somo of
the revenue are very mad because the
witnesses will not swear what they don’t
know. They say the witnesses will tell
them somothing before they swear, hut
will not swear it.
I guess it is pretty much like the
preacher who prated all tho time for
“god a mity." It is best to pray some
time for tho devil; yon don’t know
whose hands you might fall into.

is not only advisable, hut desirable for
tho young, whose aim should always

with men and women of high intell¬

those whose tendency and inclination
is good, never fails to bring some hap¬
