In my younger days, I was what peo. pie called a ‘ wild chap.’ and rather think l was something of a high boy. thing like fun stirred me up from lh£ hot* tom, and the way I ’ went it’ sometimes, when I was stirred up, people said was rather curious. / believe my respect for religious peo, pie was not quite as high as it should have been, not so high as it is now.— This grew out of two things—a defec tive education and thoughtlessness. Ten or fifteen years added to my mortal lile has sobered me somewhat, and at the present writing, I own to, a profound respect for religion. 1 state this, that neither the gay nor thoughtful reader may misunderstand me if the 1 am going to relate should seem to d£al with some levity in matters held sacred —I think the rebuke that 1 got, olien as 1 have laughed at it since, put the latmh completely on me and my companion There resided in our neighborhood a poor gidow whose meansot support were extremely limited. Between nursing herself for the rheumatism, and spinning and knitting, most of her lonely time was passed. lam ashamed to say that on one or two occasions, I joined some wild youngsters in playing off tricks upon her such as making unusual noises about the house at night, smoking her almost to death by putting a board over the top of her low mud-built chimney, and such like doings, that we thought was rare sport, but fur which we deserved a little wholesome chastisement, if there had been any one authorized to administer it. One night, soon after dark, it happen, ed that I was returning home in compa ny with a merry fellow about my own age and had to go by old Granny Ben der’s cottage. 1 had been into the town and was bringing a couple of ‘baker’s loves’ of which some of our people was as fond as city people are of getting now and then a good taste o( country ‘home made.’ ‘Tom,’ said I, as the old woman’s cottage came in sight, at a turn of the road, ‘ suppose we have a little fun with Granny Bender?’ ‘Agreed’ was Tom’s reply, for lie was always ready for sport. We had not fully decided on what we would do, when we came to the cottage and paused to settle our mode of annoy ance. The only light within, was a dim flickering of a few small sticks burning on the hearth. As we stood near the window, listening to what wag going on inside, we found that Granny was pray ing, and, a little to our surprise, asking for food. ‘As she expects to get bread from heaven,’ snid J, irreverently, ‘ l suppose she will have to he accommodated.’ And turning from the window, I clam bered noiselessly, lo the top of the chiinny a feat of no difficulty, and tumbled my two loves down. When I reached ■he window again, in order to see what effect this mode of supply would have upon Granny Bender, I found the good old creature on tier knees, piously thanking God for having answered her prayer. * That’s cool,’ says 1 lo Tom ‘now isn’t it ?’ ‘I rather think it is,’ repled Tom. ‘ And is the old woman really such a fool as to think the Lord would answer her prayer, and send her well baked loaves down ihe chimney ?’ ‘ No doubt of it.’ * It won’t do in let her labor under tins mistake ; no, never in the world, said /. ’ Hello ! Granny !’ and 1 drew open the window, and punched my laughing face into the room. She bad just risen from her knees, nnd was about putting a piece of bread into her mouth. ‘ Now, Granny Bender,’ snid I, ‘it isn't possible that you believe that bread came from heaven! Why, you old sinner you ! 1 threw it down the chimney.’ By this time the old woman's counte nance turned fully towards me, and hy , the dim light of the feeble fire, 1 could ‘ see that there were tears of thankfulness j upon her faded and withered face. The ■ expressionof that face did not in the least change, there was a deep rebuke in the tone of her voice, ns well as in the words she littered, as she said : ‘ The Lord sent it, if the devil bro't it ?’ You may be sure that 7 vanished in stanter, while Tom clapped liii bands ..-j shouted : ‘Good! good! 100 good!’ oil dear, but the old lady was 100 much for you that time.* I tried lo laugh with him as we went off home, and did laugh, as loud as he did, but somehow or other the laugh did not appear to do me any good. Alter that, I left Granny Bender alone. For the South-Weal Georgian. Step Mother. BY JUSTICE. Gentle Reader.— Are yon a step Mother? Your responsibilities are great, you have virtually taken upon yourself the duties of a mother, for the faithful discharge of w hich you will be held ac countable at the great day of final retri bution. You have charge of an affectionate mother’s children, whose body lies cold and silent in the gr'H'.r !;• bu\!” ~,.irit immortal and invisible, may still be h'v ering near the loved ones she lu>’ ’ bind and ma ,> is a *r- ,J‘J ‘’ Li of unkindness perpetrated by you against Iter motherless offspring, and will rise up as a swift witness against yon in the day of judgement when it will be 100 late to make restitution. Do yon treat those helpless little ones, as though they were the flesh and blood of your own body? whom a kind and faithful husband to her, has committed to your care, your attention and a mother’s tender love ? If that undutiful son to whom yon stand in relation as step moth er had been your own, would you have used your influence w ith an enraged fa ther, to send him forth from the paternal roof that had sheltered his infancy, a homeless wanderer on the broad waste of the wide world? No, a mother’s gush ing tears and a mother’s pleading voice would have been the first symptoms of returning tranquilly and reconciliation. It may be, perchance, that, an unfaith ful and an inronsiderate daughter has un fortunately transcended the limits of de corum and bartered the priceless pearl of virtue for the flattering vows of the seducer; kind step mother where do you stand in that trying hour of mortality, when old familiar friends pass coldly by without uttering one kind sympathetic word or even bestow ing a glance of re cognition upon the unfortunate victim ? So to speak, she is nncared for by’ a cold and formal world, that shows no charity beyond that of self interest, and is ever pointing the finger of scot n to lost virtue .dgain 1 ask where do you stand in this hour of almost total destitution ? Ponder Ihe question well in your owu mind, and then answer it to your maker —do you still offer a mother’s consola. tion, or like the rest of the world view in her only a victim of vice; lost to vir tue, without the hope of redemption from the error of her chilhood, hallow ed hy the recollection of happier, earlier days—a home rendered still more sacred by the memory of a kind and rherisYmg mother. Thus looked upon and thus scorned she coiled beneathjits withering influence, Iter doom is often sealed, the road to ruin and destruction becomes plain and nine limes out of ten the unfortunate victim is speedily hurried on to sudden and ever lusting infamy. But there are crimes of a far less mag nitude than this, that elicit and forever inherit the curses of a step mother. A son or daughter bus married contra ry to wish, she would lain plead her love for the offender. But, alas! the secret of the judgement will tell in fearful reali ty the malignant influence of that hard unfeeling step mother, that, induced that father to disclaim his own dear child. But the step mother cannot abandon her charge w iihotiPthe remorse of con scence. In solitude, when thoughts are busy, relrospecting (he pnsl; if yon have spurned a child from the home where it should have been cherished—you may, and will doubt whether you haw acted right or not. It will he well with you, if you yield to the pleadings of that inward monitor and make timely restitution. You need not tell that conscience is si lent, we know better, you owe to the world the forgiveness of every arl of injustice ol w hatever grade, in the same way as you expect to be forgiven, much less the forgiveness of a child who is guil ty perhaps of only one offence. You know your duty; a still small voice tin* olten admonished you to perform it, or it may he ns it were, that a departed mother’s voire coming forth from the bed of death, bewailing the maltreatment | TERMS? $2 in Advance. of her lovely children ; for if there if a sight over which angels weep, it mult be this. How many of yon <q the day ot eterni* ty will be said unto you— ye knew your duty, but ye did it not. Otrii ihorpe Ga. Jan. 8 1852. Take care of your Sparc Moments. A lean, awkward boy came one morn ing to the door of a principal of a school and asked to see him. The servant eyed his mean clothes, and thinking be looked tuore like a beggar than any thing else, told him to go around to the kitchen.— The boy did as he was bidden, and soon appeared at the back. door. “I should like to see Mr.—,” said he. “ You want a breakfast, more like,” said tlie servant girl, ‘ and 1 cun give you that without troubling him.’ , . \ ‘ Thank you,’ said the hoy y.\iuu* 4 . “* have no objections to a piue ofbret s^ ,C 8 but I should like lo see Mr. , j Qrue can see me.’ -r , - ‘ Some old clothes, mays be, you want,’ remarked the servnnit, again eye* ing the boy’s patched trousers. ‘ I guess he has none to spare; he gives away a sight ;’ and without minding the boy’s request, she went away about her work. 4 Can I see Mr.——?’ agwjn asked the boy, after finishing his bread and but ler. w 4 Well, he’s in the library ; if he mttqt be disturbed, he must ; but he does like to be alone sometimes,’ said the girl in a peevish lone. She seemed to think it very foolish to admit such an ill-looking fellow into her master’s presence ; how ever, she wiped her hands and bade him follow. Opening the library door, site said: 4 Here’s somebody, sir, who is dread fully anxious to see you, so I let him in,’ I don’t know bow the boy introduced himself, or how he opened Ins business; but 1 know that after talking awhile, the principal put aside the volume which he was studying, and took up some Greek books and began lo examine the new comer. The examination lasted some time. .Every question which the princi pal asked, the boy answered as.readily as could be. ‘ Upon my word!” exclaimed the prin cipal, ‘ you certainly do well!’ looking at the boy from head to foot over his spectacles. ‘ Why, my boy, where did you pick up so murh ?’ ‘ln my spare moments’ aswered the boy. Here be was, poor hard-working, with but few opportunities for schooling, yet almost fitted for college, by simply im proi vug his spare moments. Truly are not spare moments the gold dust of time ? How precious they should be! What account can you give of your spare mo ments? What can yon show for them? Look and see. This boy ran tell you how very much can be laid up by impro ving them ; and there are many, many other boys, I am afraid, in the jail, in the house of rorrectinn, in the forecas tle of a whale ship, in the gambling Inuse, nr in the tippling shop, who, if you should ask them when they began their awful course, might answer, 4 ln my spare moments.’ In my spare mo ments 1 gambled for marbles.’ 4 ln my spare moments 1 began to smoke and drink.’ 4 lt was in my spare moment! that 1 began to steal chestnuts from the old woman’s stand.’ 4 h was in my spare moments that I gambled with wick ed associates.’ Oh, be very, very careful how you spend your spare moments ! Tempta* tion always hunts you out in small sea* sons like these, When you are not busy ; he gels into your hearts, if he possibly can, in such gaps. There he bides him self, planing all sorts of mischief. Tk rare of your spare moments ! Mrs. 11. C. Knight.
