The poet Longfellow was presented with a handsomely carved chair on his seventy second birth-day. It was made from the old horse chestnut tree in whose shade stood the village “smithy” cele brated in the “Village Blacksmith.” A woman cured lu*r husband of stay ing out late at night by going to the door and whispering through the key hole, “Is th it you Willie?” Her hus band’s name is John, and lie stays at home every night now, and sleeps with one eye open and a revolver under his pillow. ‘I have found, ’ says Addison, ‘that the men who are really the most fond of the ladies—who cherish for them the highest respect —are seldom the most popular with the sex. Men of real as surance, whose tongues are lightly hung —who supply the place of ideas, and place compliments iu the room of senti ment —are their favorites. A due re spect for woman leads to respectful ac tion towards them and respect is mista ken by them for neglect or want of love.’ Old Pomeroy came down to the village tlie other day with a big brass watch key prominently displayed from a shoe-string chain. “Wliar’s your watch, Uncle Pomp?” asked a young nigger. “ 1 >on got non.” “You aint?” “No, chile.” “Den, what fo’ you kerry dat ver watch key rulin' so conspicuous?” Old Pompey chuckled and said: “look here, chile, yousc no logician—got no head fur de scientific side oh matters.

A lad of ten years, whose father lives four miles from town, was overtaken by his sire, last week, and se verely punished for tunning a distillery. Lite father had frequently noticed his boy being under the inlluence of strong drink. One morning lie watched him to see where he went to get iiis whiskey, and to his astonishment, found him en gaged in distilling. He had ingenuity enough to construct a small and novel distillery, having several tar kegs lot beer stands, and an elder stalk lor the worm, and an old coffee boiler for his still. He had been engaged in the busi ness b.r some time, making lour gallons f whiskey per week. —Cookeville He ho. * in Massachusetts there lives a man, who, some years since, fell in love with a poor blit beautiful girl. As is custom iry on such occasions, he breathed to cr the f mdest thoughts that a lover's heart could frame and that a woman’s •ars co 1 l hear. They lived and loved and married. The roseate linos of mar ried happiness fell in a beautiful shim mer around them. No home on earth was more typical than this of Eden be fore the exodus. Another woman ap peared upon the scene, who succeeded in gaining the affections of this heretofore model husband. He was not happy with ,iis first love, so it was arranged that he should procure a divorce, after which he manic i his second charmer. To-day he first wife is a.servant to the second, and the two women are fast trie ads. RISING FAWN, DADE COUNTY, GA.. THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1870. “Faithful to the Right, Fearless Against the Wrong.” WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, D. April 11, 1870. That was an important decision of the Democratic House caucus on Wednes day, that hereafter the House should not longer adjourn over from Saturday to Tuesday, the day on which under the rules, hills may he introduced. The de cision means no less than that, if the House can have its way, there shall he general legislation at this session. At the same time, there is no reason to be lieve that any financial measures calcu lated to disturb business will he passed. On the contrary, I think there is here a growing conviction that something may he done that will not only he ~beneficial to the people in general but also to the business interests of the countrv. Mr. Hendricks is not a man who needs introduction to the readers of any Dem ocratic paper. He is, and deservedly so, one of the most generally respected men in the paijy. There is, therefore, im portance in what he is just now reported as having said as to the probable issues of the next Presidential campaign. Mr. Hendricks says he will not again he sec ond on the ticket, no matter who is first. He declines to sav anything for or against Mr Tilden as a candidate. lie believes that the prominent subject of the next campaign will not he financial, hut that of conti ilazation as against the constitutional rights of the States, and that Democrats everywhere will he thor oughly united on the side of the consti tional rights of the States, but not as opposed to the full constitutional rights of t l, e general government. He does not think Mr Haves would he justified in vetoing the proposed legislation of Congress on the subject of free elections and fair juries. New Postal RegulalioiiM The following synopsis of new legis lation contained in the Postoffice Appro priation hill recently passed, has been prepared at the Postoffiee Department for tlie information of the public: Mail matter is divided into four class es. First, written matter; second, period ical publications; third, miscellaneous printed matter; fourth, all matter not embraced in the other three classes, which is not in its form or nature liable to destroy, deface or otherwise damage the contents of mail bags, or harm the person of any one engaged in the postal service, and is not above the weight pro vided by law which is declare l to be not exceeding.four pounds for each package thereof except iu case of single hooks weighing in excess of that amount, Con gressional documents and matter emana ting from any of the departments of the Government, or the Smithsonian insti tute. What is known as the Comstock law in regard to obscene puplieations is re-enacted, and such matter, as well as matter relating to lotteries, gift concerts, and fraudulent schemes or devices, are thereof not having the character of actual excluded from the mails. Printed matter is defined to he reproduction upon paper by any process except that of handwrit ing of any forms of letters, characters, figures or images or of any combination and personal coi respondencc. Mail matter of second class embraces all newspapers and other periodical pub lication which are issued at stated inter vals, and frequently as four times a year. Publications of the second class, when sent by the publisher thereof and from the office of publications including sam ple copies or when sent from a news agen cy to actual subscribers thereto, or to other news agents, shall he entitled to transmission through the mail at the uni form rate of two cents a pound or frac tion thereof, such postage to be prepaid as now provided by law. The free deliv ery of one copy to each actual subscriber result if: in the county where the same are published formerly confined to weekly papers, is extended to dailies and other matter of the second class, except at office of free delivery; when deposited tor deliv ery by its carriers at such offices, weekii es are delivered free, hut dailies and er publications of the second class, \aHfl delivered by carriers at_ the Wstoffice where published, piy Hie s:tm raUsfrjttj before. jfl To the Local Preachers. Do not become any ways discouraged by anything that you may have seen or heard concerning local prtnehers, hut let us put on the armor and tight of fiith, that we may win the prize, and after glo ry run; and when we get through with the improvement of our one talent, Heav en will he as bright to us as it will to the brother that has five talents. The same will he said to the humble local preach ers, afld to the humblest saint of God that has discharged his duty, that will be said to the most refined and finished of earth. It will just be said to each and every one that are so fortunate as to get to that happy place, “Well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, 1 will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” This will he enough for any poor worm of earth. Then let us he faithful Every man can know for himself whether the Lord has called him to preach or not, and if you feed that he has called you to the work, just preach on and God will bless the effort and save souls through your in strumentality. It is true that we as local preachers, can not do a bishop’s work, neither do we want to undertake it. We are willing to take a more humble place in the church, and wort: there for the Master, and do all that we can for his cause, and say that we are unprofitable servants, that we have only done that which was our duty. As.it was in the days of the apos tles, so it is now; there were different grades for them to work in, and mav O 7 V God help us all to work in the calling wherewith we are called, and not try to keep others from saving sinners in the name of Christ. The Lord has said to cry aloud and spare not ti> lift up our voices like a trump- A* i*t and w•> ii hi; people of their sin*; and if we neglect and smooth the r<>adft nal misery, and the lost, his blood will he required at our hands. We are in favor of education. Some of the old local preachers used to throw iu to help build in order that the children might get an education. Some of the older Acs had what educa tion was allowed to get through as best they could. They could not go back to boyliooAand acquire an educa tion. Let every yAng man get all the ed ucation that he possibly can; we are in favor of that; ami let them have the grace of Hod in their hearts, and if God calls them to preach he will qualify them for their task. May God help us all to discharge our duty as preachers, and may he bring us to His saint’s rest when done with the trials of earth. Kill!a Town. The following rules for killing a town we commend to the prayerful considera tion of more than one man in our midst: 1. Put up no more buildings than you can occupy yourself. *2. If you should have an empty buil ding to rent, demand three times its val- O 7 ue. o. Look sorrowful, he little, and in sult every new comer; give the cold shoulder to, and underrate every median ic and professional man who desires to come among you. 4. Go abroad fer your goods and wares. By no means pm chase from your own merchants and manufacturers, eve t at the same price or less. Finally, put. a thorough finish to your work by working against your local pa per; bemoan every one connected with it; refuse to subscribe to or advertise in it; so that persons at a distance will not know that any business is being done in your town, or they may want to come and settle among you, or buy something from y ;u, and that would give some trouble.

An old negro named Sam Clark, who counts a Griswold street lawyer among his friends, called at his law shop yester day with a very anxious face and said: “Boss, Ize clean twisted up dis time, an’ I want to ax a few quesouns.” “Well, go ahead, Sam.” “Wall, all de white folks tells me dat de sezun am at leas’ a month ahead. I h’ars ’em talkin’ ’bout it on de kyars an’ all ober.” “Yes, this is a very forward spring. I think we are at least a month ahead.” “Well, if dat’s do case, will de Fo’tli o’ July come on de fo’th o’ June, or when, an’ hain’t -April fule day dun gone an’ passed by two weeks?” The lawyer tried to explain, but Sam was moremixel than before. He scratch ed his head and went slowly out, but in half an hour he returned with a face longer than ever. “Got that through your head yet ?” asked the lawyer. . “FV de Lawd, hut Ize bin struck agin!” whispered the African. “If we am a month ahead now, dis ya’r will either have thirteen months or only ’lcv en! ’Splain dat now!” But the lawyer couldn’t, and Sam went out saying: “Dese white folks am a werry curus set, dey is. Dey go an’ git de sezun all outer gear, an’ den a nigger can’t tell whether to plant taters or dodge icicles!” —Detroit Free Press. Doctor and l 9 atiirnt. “Save me doctor, and I’ll give you a thousand dollars!” The doctor gave him a remedy that eased him, and he called out: “Keep at it, doctor, and I’ll give you a check for five hundred dollars!” In half an hour more he was abie to sit up, and he calmly remarked : “Doctor, I feel like giving you a fifty dollar bill.” When the doctor was ready to go the sick man was up and dressed; he followed the doctor to the door and said: “Doctor, send in your hill the first of the month.” When six months had been gathered to Time’s bosom, the doctor sent in a bill amounting to five dollars. He was pressed to cut it down to three,after so do ing he sued to get it,got judgment,and the patient put in a stay of execution. The Love or Nome, It is only shallow minded pretenders who either make distinguished origin a matter ot personal merit or obscure ori gin a matter of reproach. Taunt and scoffing at the humble condition of early life affect nobody in this country but those who arc foolish enough to indulge in them, and they are generally sufficiently punished by the republistad uuke. A man who is not ashamed of himself need not be ashamed of bis eaily condition. It did not happen to me to be born in a log cabin, but my elder brothers and sis ters were born in a log cabin, raised among the snow drifts of New Hamp shire at a period so early that when the smoke first rose fiom its rude chimney, and curled over the frozen hill,there was no similar evidence of a white man’s hab itation between it an l the settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist; I make it an annual visjt. I carry my children to it to teach them the hard ships endured by the generations which have gone before them. 1 love to dwell on the tender recollections, the kindred tic*, the early affections, and the narra tions and incidents which mingle with all I know of this primative family abode. I weep to think that none of those who inhabited it are among the living; and if ever I fail in affectionate veneration for him who raised it and defended it against savage violence and destrueti© i, cherish ed all the domestic virtues beneath its roof, and through the fire and blood of seven years’ reactionary war. shrank from no toil, no sacrifice to serve his country, and to raise his children to a condition better than his o.vn, may my name and the name my posterity he blot ted forever from the memory of mankind.
