I) 0 YO VRI BEST.
Tb* heart and m od of man
Must differ, it is true,
And t* the deed our neighbor does
l’ercbanct we ne'er could do,
\nd thus, in elimbing ( fortune’s height
To reach the fame in store,
If people ouly do their best, 3
The world can ask no more.
Doca then the little humming-bird
Its tender s-ng forsake,
Because the nightingale’s sweet voice
May softer music make?
Or does the tiuy, twinkling star,
Which leads to earth its light,
Repine bee* use some Loured orb
May cha: ce to bum more bright ?
And so thro’ life we find that some
Are chid in praise and fame,
While others meekly plod along,
With naught to gild their name;
But when life is reckoned up,
Its doing couLted o’er,
If we can say, “ I did my beet,’’
Our God wil’ ask no more.
BASHFUL JOHN.
*
John Patterson w* driving his
erable horse slowly homeward from tho
little village of Brintoo.
They wore passing the low lying
farm of Nathan Wynn, aud John, not
during for the life of him to turn his
head, rolled his great black eyes toward
the substantial stone farmhouse in the
hopes of catching a gfimpse of Kitty,
‘.he farmer’s comely daughter. But
though John kept his eyes turned in
their sockets till his head ached fear -
iully, he saw nothing of Kuly
John was desperately in love with
Kitty Wynn, and had been so for
many a day, aud yet lie dare not tell
her so.
lie generally managed to bow to lie
when lie met her, but even that brouj. lit
a great lump into his th[oe.t and turned
his lace the color fa peony.
As John passed over a little lnoli
and out of eight of the ltuu.-e, Wynn's
great orchard —the trees ready to break
down under the weight of ripe Jrui,—
was before him.
What a while that miller kept uie
writing lor my grist. I'm as hungry
at a hear, and must have a pocket luii
of those beauties to eat on uiy way
home.
i\nd with this John rein, scaL
cd tlie f'enci and struck out for his fa.-
voti'e tree
Ue kuew as well as Mr Wynn did
where the best apples were to be
found.
Join filled his pockets and was
about to rtttacc lis steps to the wagon,
when he caugbt the flutter of u pink
dress through a cluster of trees, and
heard Kitty’s merry Voice in conver
sation with rcau oce.
Stealing a *sty glance through the j
trees, Jr ho recognized Kitty’s compan
ion to Ue her cousin Hetty Shaw, trom
the iil;ige
They were coming directly toward
the ire e under which John was stand
ing-
W hat in the world was he to do ?
lie did not fancy running away like
a detected thief, and his trembling
k- ctsand palpitating heart warded him
that if he did not wish to die then
and there, he must seek a place of con
coalmeat.
To add to Jihu’s embarrassment, he
was conscious that he was u ,t “tidied
up.”
He was in every day garb. To make
the matter worse, his clothes were cov*
ered with flour, which had somehow
got On him while waiting fur his grist
at the mill.
John glanced up into a tree, but the
foliage was not thick and there wae lit
tle chance foi a h'ding place there.
Near the tree was an inverted bogs*
head, which had been used for a stand
to pick apples from the t^ee.
There was no time to be lost.
The hogshead offered the ouly retreat
within the trembling young man’s
roach, and he was uot long in squeez
ing himself inside of it
The girls came 00, and sat down on
the grass right where John, stooping
dowu and peeping through the circular
hole, could watch them.
Kitty, he thought, looked prettier
and brighter than ever in her pink
dress, and the sun, which was setting
io the wrest, made her browu hair as
golden as the apples that were in her
lap.
Kitty held up an apple by the stem,
saying:
“Name it, Hetty; but not Will Joice,
nor Jerry Davis, nor—”
Then stop ; the apple is named, said
Hetty, merrily.
Kitty pared and ate her apple, care
fully saving all the seeds.
When she had them all in her chub
by hand, she then came for Hetty to
M pell the name.
Touching each seed with her finger,
Hetty spelled :
J*o-h and Pva-t-te-r..s-0-n. It spells
exactly. Why, Kitty, what are you
blushing so for ? One would think
that fellow’s name was spel'ed out in
Jour heart in indellible letters by the
way you look.
Kitty said nothing, tnougb she look
ed uncommonly sober for her. John
thought, and he wondered if the girls
difln t hear his heart beat.
lie thought, too, that Kf ty was an*
gry that any one would suppose that
*be ealred for him. •
Hoar humble he felt; be could scarce
-I,*hy j his cheeks burned with
bounded pride.
Kitty, said her cousin,
a bantering laugh, if you do not
ih£l!J ay4h * t forlorQ 100k > I *hall
** that you oare mor# than your
pride will let you acknowledge for that
great awkward booby, who hasn’t cour
age, nor never will have, to ask you to'
have him
Hu*h, Hetty ! said Kitty, as she
cose to her feet, and her cheeks had a
flush of deepest crimson. You do not
know John Patterson as we do. lie is
not awkward at home with his mother.
You ought to see how kiud and consid
erate is to her. Father drops in
there often, and he says there isn’t |a
more noble-hearted man to be found
Joho is industrious ; do \ou know what
ho, does with Father says
he is paying off the mortgage on his
mother’s little farm, nndi when he bas
a lew more pounds than is necessary for
a payment he spends them for books.—
Mark my wo-ds, Hetty, lohn Patter'
son will yet be a man that you will be
pruud to class among your friends ; he
has intellect of no common order—it
is only his great bashfulneas that keeps
him back now.
Now, Kitty, you are too absurd, and
Hetty laughed as though she thought
her companion in jest Well, it is
leap year ; and you had better offer
yourself to this paragon ; don’t be
lLve he v> ill refuse.
I kuow no one whom I would soon
er marry—so there !
And Kitty’s face was scarlet with
blushes as she made this' acknowledg
ment to her cousin.
But John was not looking her
now.
lie was crouched in the most remote
part of tho hogshead, trying by differ
ent gestures to drive a hqg3 mastiff
away which threatened to mike his
whereabouts known.
The suu had gODe down, and John’s
hungry horse had quietly walked
home, and still the two girls_ chatted
away.
Well, Bruno, what have you there ?
I am sure you have been whining and
pawing there for half an hour at
ieavt.
And Jetty came forward and patted
tho dog’s hairy back.
Wh), Kitty, there’s so ne dreadful
anim.il in here. What a pair of eyes
it has ! Thank uiy nerves, if Uncle
and Charlie are away I can fire a gun.
I’ll soon show what that h .r id creature
is. In my opinion here is where your
geese have gone to. I will warrant
the ground in there is strewed with
bones. You ana Bruno keep watch,
while I run to the house aud get the
gun.
Hetty rattled this-off in a,brenthless
fashion, and before Kitty had time to
look at the dreadful auiuial, her cousin
was oo the way to the house.
What was J ohn to do now ? Stay
where he waa or crawl’ from his lair
like a Hottentot'from his hut, aud right
before Kitty’ eyes too?
The faithful dog began to wag his
tall, and whine with renewed anima--
tiou, a~d John thought the gun was
really coming Life was sweeter to
him now, since hearing what Kitty
had said of himself, than ever be’ore,
and creeping to the opening he began
coming out.
Kitty, who was peeping anxiously in,
s*w that the creature was moving to"
Ward her, and giving a spasmodic little
scream, she sank helplessly to the
ground, and covered her face with her
apron. Kitty’s distress made John for
the moment forgec that he was the
most bashful of men alive, and surely
the arms which Kitty felt encircling
her waist were not those of a wild
beast.
Knowing this, it did not need a
great amount of courage to enable her
to uncover her face, and see that the
great eyes that had so frightened her
belonged to John Pattersou.
It is strange that neither she nor
John, during the half hour they tar*
ie3 under the apple tree, thought of
Hetty or the gun she had gone to
bring.
Perhaps neither would have remem
bered Hetty’s boasted nerve in connec
tion with that weapon again, had not
the young lady herself, two years later,
reminded a certain happy bridegroom
and his equally happy bride of the m*
cidefit, and informed them that she
knew all the time that John was in the
hogshead, as she saw him put himself
there, and that her part of the conver*
sation under the apple tree, was in*
dulged in solely with a view to encour*
ago the bashful lover to propose.
Mrs. John Patterson scolded her
cousin’s bridesmaid for the duplicity,
but for all that it was plain to be seen
that she was not angry, especially since
Hetty had that day acknowledged that
she was glad to class her cousin’s hand
some husband among her friends.

CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 13. 1877.
litre of Sheep.
Those of our readers who are now i*v
teresting themselves in sheep will find
good reading in the followirfg hints sum
med up from an essay on sheep manage
ment by Mr. A, Kenney, the noted
sheep raiser of Vermont.
1. Never sta r ve a sheep if you desire
it to do well, especially in summer.
2. Do not feed much grain if you
have good hay, but at all events, never
let them grow poor.
3. many farmers lose by letting their
sheep live as long in autumn without
feeding as possible; consequently,if they
are in very good condition in Octol er,
and lose flesh and are made to gain
again, there will be no doubt a tender
place in the wool.
4 tHave your lambs come early iu the
seasou
5. Shear'eafly.
6. Keep your sheep from all cold
storms at ail times of the year, aid be
as careful of them as of your horse.—
Many .sheep e perish by showers after
shearing, even in July’; so, I say, shear
at a time of year when they can he hous
ed for a week after and in
storms in autumn ; if sheep are expos
ed,it takes a long time to dry the wool,
sheep are consequently uocom*
for table for a long time, cold and con
suuiptidn are the result.
7. liaise the staudard’of .'your flock;
fleece at shearing; number
the sheep, and note the weight of the
fleece,jaud theu sell or kill your poorest
sheep, as like produce. Your average
will soon go from four to seven pounds.
8. Take good care of the lauibs, es
pecially while young. In many cases
they are not able to suck the ewe at the
start, in all s-ch casesjrou must feed
them
Why She Didn’t Answer Him.
v hen a young man came down stairs
the other morning he remembered that
his wife, who was preparing breakfast,
had not spoken to him when she got up,
and so he cheerfully said :
“Good morning, little lady.”
Not a word came in reply.
“Good morning,” said he in a higher
key, thinking thal she might not have
heard him.
“(Jui—'in—’ui,” was all that escaped
from her sealed lips, as she kept on
with the work.
“Why under the sun don’t you an
swer me?” exclaimed he in surprise;
what’s the matter ? what have I done
to offend you ?
“Urn” ’m 'm, was the only sound
elicited.
Look here ! then exclaimed the hus
band, is he jumped up and knock*!
over a ci*p of coffee; I don’t swallow a
mouihWl of breakfast uutii you
tell*me what’s the matter.
Wbat’s the matter? echoed she,sud
denly turning upon him with 'flashing
eyes And tiieu she continued : John

A Texan’s W omlerfulJTrnei'.
A Texan, visiting this point, gathers
ed around him Some of our citizens
Monday, aud entertained them with
some of his experences in the Lone Star
State. Owe tncident told by him is as
follows :
“You’d hardly believe, now, what I
am going to tell. Iti Texas we U 33, raw
hide straps, or thongs, for traces, and
in vet wea her they do stretch amaz
ingly. Why, often iu damp weather at
home I’ve hitched up two horses and
drove down the hill from my house in
to the button for a sled load of
wood. I have loaded the wood and many
times driven back home and unhitched
the horses and the sled would not he iu
sight.
“How did you get the wood home
then ?” asked aD inquisitive bystander.
“Oh, i just tied the ends of the tra
ces together and threw them over a post
and went about my work and waited till
the sun shone out. Sometimes it would
be two hours before that sled load of
wood would get home,but you and see her
crawling up the hill at last, gradually
approaching as the row-hide traces
shrunk up into their proper lengths.
Y’es, Texas is a great country, you bet.”
He Desired a Situation. —
“Couldn’t you give tne something to
do?” asked a poor boy at a Michigan
shingle factory, the other day.
“No,” said the owner, “we are all
full now.”
The boy looked sad, and was about
to go away, when a 1 right thought
seized him, and, turning again to the
owner he inquired :
“Don’t you need a 4 boy to test shin,
gles on ?”
But even then the lad could get no
position, for the man had a boy of
his own.
Another Rat Story. —The Mid
dleton Press tells the following story :
“A family iu this viliage had laid away
a bag of dried corn for winter’s con
sumption. The bag containing it was
hung by a stout string from a nail driv
en iu the beam of an outhouse, so ss to
be out of the reach of rats. The sly
residents,however managed to seeure it.
The bag was drawn up by the string,
and laid snugly away on the beam, and
the very last grain of coan abstracted
through a hole iu the bottom of the
bag.”

Not long ago an engineer brought hia
train to a stand at a little Massachusetts
village where the passengers have five
minutes for lunch A lady came along
and said]: “The conductor tells me the
train in the junction in P. leaves fifteen
minutes before our arrival. It is Sat
urday night; that is the last train. I
have a very sick child in the car, and
no money tor a hotel, and none for a
private conveyance a long, long ay in
to the country. What shall Ido ?'
the engineer, **l wish l
could tell you.”
“Would it oe possible for you to hur
ry a little?” said the anxious, tearful
mother.
“No, nudam, I have the time table,
and the rules say I must go by it.”
She turned sorrowfully away, leaving
the bronzed face of the engineer wet
with tears. Presently she returned and
said, “are you a Christian
“I trust I am,” was the reply.
“Will you pray with aie that the Lord
may in some way delay the train at the
juoctipn ?”
“Why, yes, I will pray with you but
I have not much faith ”
Just then the conductor cried, “ All
aboard.” The poor woman hurried back
to the deformed aud sick child,and away
went the train, climbing the grade.
“Somehow,” said the engineer, “ev
ery thing worked like a charm.”
As I could not help letting
my engine out just a little We hardly
stopped at the first station people got
off and on with wonder fat alacrity, the
conductor’s lamp was in the arr in half
a minute, and theu away again.
over the summit it was dreadful easy to
give her a little more, and then a
little more as I prayed she seemed to
shoot through the air like an arrow. —
Somehow I couldn’t hold her kn wing
I had the road.and so we dashed up the
junction six minutes ahead of time.
There stood the other train the con
ductor with the lantern cn his arm.—
“Well,” said he, ‘ will you tell me what
lam waiting for. Someho v I felt I j
must wait for your coming to*nihgt but !
I don’t know why.” “I guess,” said the J
other conductor, “it is for this poor wo |
man, and her sick and deformed child,
dreadfully anxious to get home this Sat
urday night.” But the man on the on’
gine and the "rateful mother think they
can ttdl why the train waited.
The Sort ot Lies a B.r Will Tell.
A Pine street woman bought a pie at ;
a baker’s stand last niirht to give her
husbatid.au agreeable surprise. When j
they caute to sit down at the evening
tneaT the pie had disappeared. William,

“Bill, wnere’s that pie ?” demanded
the old man.
“Pie ?” querried the boy.
“l 7 es, pie.”

“Yes, sir.”
“Aird kinder brown r”
“Yes, sir.”

and I wanted to see his cart break down
and kill a man.”
“Bill.you scoundrel, you are lying ?”
exclaimed the old man. “Own up or
I’ll flog you.”
“Well—you see—well father if I ate j
that pie it was because a fellow was up
stairs here looking for you and saying !
that you were to have a SI,OOO office

William Cujlen Bryant savs that when
he was a boy a little bundle o*’ birchen

of his kinsfolk. After the e rpse is
almost completely consumed the fire is
quenched. The relatives theu search

THE SUN.
1877. YEW YORK. 1877.
The different editions of TiiKbUN during
the next year will be the same as during
the year that lias just passed. The daily
edition will on week days be a sheet of four
pager, and ou Buinlays a sheet of .eight
pages, or 56 broad columns; while the
weekly edition will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and charac
ter that are already familiar to our friends.
This Sun will continue to be the strenu
ous advocate of reform and retrenchment,
and of the substitution of statesmanship,
wisdom, aud integrity for hollow pretence,
imbecility, and fraud in the administration
of public alfairs. It will contend for the
government of the people by tle people and
for the people, as opposed to government
by fraud in the 1 allot-hox and in tbecounf
iug of votes, enforced by military violence.
It will endeavor to supply its readers—a
body not far from a million of souls—with
the most careful, complete, and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ
for this purpise a numerous and carefully
selected Mrff of reporters and correspond
ents. hs reports from Washington, espe
cially, will be full, accurate, and fearless;
and it will doubtless continue to deserve
and enjoy the hatred of those who thiive
by plundering the Treasury or by usurping
what the law does not give them, while it
will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of the peo
ple against the encroachments of unjusti
fied power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55
cents a mouth or SC,SO a year, post paid,
or witl the Sunday edition, s7*7o a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
$1.20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eigtit pages <>f 66 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at
the rate of $1 a ye tr, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from
the previous rate for the Weekly can be
enjoyed by individual subscribers without
the necessity of making up clubs. At the
same time, ii any of our friends choose to
aid in extending our circulation, we shall
be grateful to them, aud every such person
who sends us ten or more subscribers from
one place will be entitled to one copy of the
paper for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expenses of
printing are barely repaid, and, consider
ing the size of the sheet and the quality of
its contents, we are confident the people
will consider the Weekly Sun the cheapest
newspaper published in the wo.ld, and we
trust also one of tl: e very best.
