And there, upon the floor, lay a man, an invalid, whose pale, emaciated face, and hollow sunken eyes almost made mo shudder as I beheld them. There was no fire, Two children, a boy of eight and a girl of five, crouched by the side of the low bed, vainly endeavoring to keep warm. There wore no chnirs, no cupboard, no dishes, no wardrobe or trunk, no comforts ut .di—utter destitution. I went to the invalid man, and !• ad started to ask him a question relative to himself, when I was struck dumb by recognizing the man who lay before me. “Louis Melbourne!” I exclaimed when I had recovered from my sur prise enough to say anything. We had been classmates at College and had kept the blaze of friendship b rning years thereafter. He went away, and I had not seen or heard of him for many years. lie had been wealthy once, hut now he was but a wreck of his former self. The man looked at me along time, without speaking, then light began to rfeak into his eyes, nnd he held out his hand to me, and he said “Carl 1” I had him removed to rAy own res idence, and soon had him in a Warm bed and comfortable. Under the in fluences thrown around him he soon' began to improve. “Carl,” said he to me one day, “you do not know what a treasure I have had in my little girl. I should have died long ago had it not been for her attention, I lost all my prop erty by fire some years since, when I was on the road to fortune. Since that time my svife died, and it lias been as much as I could do to get along. Until about *year ago, when I wtvs taken down with rheumatism, I could manage to get along; but through the last year our support has fallen upon my little girl. She has never complained, and her devo tion is truly wonderful. When 6he has made friends and they have given Ler presents, she has always, preserv ed them for her brother and sister.” I thought that he would get well, but I was mistaken. Ho took a re lapse, and died in a few weeks. The child, en have always been the light of my household. [the end.] A little boy, carrying some eggs home from the store dropped them. “Did you break any ?” asked his mother when lie told her of it. “No,’’said the little “but the shells came off some of’em. If there is anything iu the world more dangerous than a buz-saw it must he nitric acid. A German essayist, in speaking upon this subject, says that when “Eenaoyl naphtylamide is treated with ni tric acid, two isomeric menonitro* benzoylnaphtylamides are formed —one yielding monoeamidobezo naphtylamide, the other ankydro benzodiamidonaphtatene !” Of course ear reader will appreciate this iinformation. ■ "<1 iw m . Harris of the Savannah News is probably as bad a boy as wields the pungent quill, in Georgia. Here is the way he thumps Joey Brown, In the riba: It is said that the students in the State University have to spread the butier on their bread mighty thin. The Trustees are supposed to be ta king steps to interdict fritters and molasses pudding. Jos Brown’s blue-stem codards will be used at din ner and fried over for supper. When Adam got tired naming his descendants, and when he got half ; through, he said: ‘‘Let’s quit and j call the rest Smiths ’* [ Orange Culture in Couth Georgia According to Dr. W. B. Folks, oiks of the editors of the Valdos ta Times, the opinion that oranges, can be raised In (Southern Georgia has just been verified.. JuSt after the war, Mrs. Ligbtsey, residing at Dupont, on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, received trom Florida a barrel of swoct oranges. She planted tho seed in drills in her yard and on her plantation, a lew' miles from Waycross. They came up, grew finely, and are now la den with a full crop of the golden fruit. These trees are now in the third year of bearing. They have withstood the slight frost and cold of this climate, and have not been attacked by any blight, or inject. The fruit is fully matured, sweet and good, and in no wise differ from tho Florida orange. The fruit is in all styles, fronx the bloom, half grown to full ripe. These experimental groves are in a luxuriant state of growth and give promise of fully demonstrating the fact that oranges can he successful ly grown in Southern Georgia. It is also proper to remark that Mrs. Lightsey lias a large demand ■ for het orange* at A cent apiece on the threes. Dr. Folkes continue* : “This perhaps being the most extensive experiment tried in the orange Culture iu this section, we take pleasure ia introducing •‘sugges tion of Mr. i . F. Hunt* an od*ea te4*and scientific gentleman, who is a machinist, and has traveled and witnessed the growth of or anges in different latitudes- lie ug gests that evergreens be planted*in drills,east and west, and the or ange trees be set on the south, side of these evergreens, which will be a protection from the frost and cold noTth winds, following the principle of growing small fruits iu the Northern States and Eu rope—on tlie Boutli side of the brick or stone walls—also, that a stump or log be kept burning at the cold Changes of weather, the smoke being a sure preventive against blight by frost. We re gard these suggestion as behftg val uable as an introduction to the or. ange culture in our soction. Knowing our soil to be well adap ted to the growth of such fruit, other improvements will soon fol low, and Southern Georgia will soon contribute a full share of a tropical product.—Now it will take but little trouble or expense to plant a grove of an acre in or ange trees ; do it, good people of Southern Georgia. Make the ex periment, follow the plan here laid down—you have but little to risk —and you may be giad you are the fortunate owner of such a val uable piece of property.” The Macon Telegraph & Messen ger is deservedly the merst popular newspaper published in Georgia. The Telegraph is the first paper that we remember to have read, in our early childhood and we expect to be a constant reader of it as long as we live. Though we have a large num ber of exchanges "nour table, yet we would not be without the Telegraph & Messenger for any amount of mon ey. It is to day the most solid, sta ble and reliable newspaper in the State. Long may it flourish to lead conservative journalism of thg Em pire State. dfchsrdlanroKs, A.
