1 love to see in summer time,
The farmer plow the land,
And broadcast o’or the furrows bow
The buckwheat with his hand.
I love to sec the little germ,
Come springing up to view,
And see at morn the growing plant
Bespent with sparkling dew.
I love to see the blossom ope,
As white as pearly dew,
While o’er the fields the gentle winds
With laden perfume flow.
I love to see the blooming field,
Put on its coat of brown,
And see the heavy laden stalk
With ripened groin hang down.
1 love to see in even swath
The cradled buckwheat lie,
And help to rake and bind the sheaves,
And set ttem up to dry.
I love to see the loaded sheaves
Before the old barn door,
And hear the sounding of the flail
Upon tue threshing floor.
I love to see the fanning mill
Blow off the dusty chaft
And see them mea ure up the grain,
And ’‘strike” the bushel half.
I love to see the water wheel *
Revolve with mighty power,
Which seta the millstone whizzing round
To grind the buckwheat flour.
I lots to hear the thumping bolt
Within the noisy mill,
And see the miller scoop the flour,
The farmer’s bag to fill.
1 love to see the busy cook,
Her pancake batter make,
And on the heated griddle pour
The limpid flowing cake.
I love to see the half-dune cake
With skill turned upside down.
Until the rtove with steady heat,
Has baked the pancake brown.
The buttered cake upon my plate,
1 dearly love to see,
Aud when with sirup sweetened well,
Will better be for me.
Then all the pleasures I have named,
A greater one I take ;
’Tis at the table, when 1 sit
And eat the buckwheat cake.
A SIMPLE HERO.
Malta in the year 1865.
The sweet spring day ; the still more
love y nights had come and gone ;
nights in which the clear, deep, purple
sky seemed so far away that the stars
looked as'if they hung low down, and
gazed lovingly at the world with their
bright twinkling eyes —stars and skies
the like of which are never seen in
these Northern climes, and once seen,
are never forgotten.
In the Btill May evenings wo had
sailed on transparent waters, under the
opal skies as the sun went down, and
when the stars came later on, a rival
cjnstellation seemed to shine belo-v ; for
each boat earned a light at her prow,
aud here and there, backwards and
forwards, glided these gleaming sea/-
stars.
The orange trees had grown white
wi’.h blossom, and tiny golden halls,
baby-oranges and baby-lemons, mingled
with the bloom. Our island had been
visited by countless feathered creatures
winging their flight Northwards— a call
they wonld repeat in autumn, when the
Northern cold should warn them to fly
to the south once moi e.
It was in the midst of all this early
summer bea”ty, before the sun had
begun to scorch and burn, and turn the
grass brown and wither the fresh beauty
of the leaves; while the pale pink
blossoms of the oleander gave out their
sweet, heavy perfume, and the wild
narcissus bloomed in wild profusion in
the fields ; that strange, sinister rumors
were spoken of—rumors of coming dan
ger, of death in swift and awful form,
nearing, with slow but certain strides
the little island, which was then our
home.
And at last the enemy came amongst
us, warily enough at first, with just a
dropping shot here and there like signs
of an approaching army.
Of all things, in such times, panic is
to be most dread’d ; and so matters
were kept as quiet as might be, and the
cholera was little spoken of openly.—
But this reticence was not suffered to
continue long, for ”03868” multiplied,
like nothing 1 can think of, except the
celebrated s in about the horse-shoe
nails.
In the crowded dens of the Men*
drnggio—indeed, in every town and
village—the Maltese died line rotten
sheep ; and no words of mine can pay
fitting tribute to the courage and devo
tion with which the Iloman Catholic
priests visited and tended the sick and
dying. And among the order of the
Carmelite Friars a terrible number tell
victims to the pestilence. Meanwhile,
in the English hospitals the enemy out
down its victims pitilessly, and certain
ly with marvelous impartiality, for old
and young, men, ./omen and children
seemed to be equally welcome prey. It
was hard to see strong men cut down
in the prime of life, swept away after
a few hours’ agony ; hard to see deli
cate women, weakened already by the
effects of climate, fall victims to the
destroyer and leave mot herless little
ones behind ; but the hardest of all, far
the hardest of all, to watch the suffer*'
ing and hear “the crying of children,”
to see their frightened eyes looking up
at you, confident in your power to
help, and to feel that you could
dr—nothing.
U was under such disastrous circum
stances as these, that my hero came to
the front.
here was nothing very striking or
remarkable about him—he was ooly a
Coll)oun Cimcs.
private soldier in a line regiment—an
orderly or tender of the sick, in a reg
imental hospital. In appearance he
much resembled one of those men in
Miss Thompson’s picture ‘‘The Roll
call” —those men who have such typical
soldiers’ faces that, looking at them,
one is quite sure that bona fide mem
bers of rank and file stood for their
portraits. A dark, somewhat shaggy,
looking, sharp featured man, was the
hero of mine—l am not sure that he
even bore a particularly exemplary
character as a soldier.
Just when a few cases among the na
tive population had made us feel that
the enemy was truly “at our gates,” I
chanced to see this orderly and in a few
words (frr I hurried at the time) ex
pressed a hope that he had no dread of
the close contact with the pestilence,
which his position would naturally en
tail upon himself and his fellow order
lies.
How well I remembered the prompt
yet quiet manner of his speech, and
the fearless look in his sharp black
eyes, as he moved across to the side of
the ward in which we stood, and laid
his hand against the whitewashed wall
glaring blindingly white in the hot June
sunshine. *
“If so be that this here wall was the
cholery, I’d be no more afeered of it,
than to lay my hand there like that.”
His courage was soon tried, for thick
and fast the enemy came upon us The
cloudless dome of the blue, blue sky—•
day after day changlessiv, buiuingly
bright—the silver moonlight, the
shimmering stars, looked down upou
scenes of paiu and death as terrible as
those of any battle field.
And where all did their duty well
and bravely, none were so fearless, none
so untiring, so zea'ous for suffering
comrades as my humble hero. It, was
difficult for the medical officers to in
duce him to take any rest day or night;
and the hospital sergeant, a cool,
phlegmatic Scotchman—who would re.
ceive a cholera case of the worst de
scription with the same imperturbable
countenance as a slight case of mea
sles—roused into something almost
bordering on enthusiasm in speaking of
him.
“He’s worth all the rest put together,
Tom is ; he’s as gentle as a woman with
the men ; and I never saw such a fel
low f*r work —he don’t seem to have
such a thing as tiredness in him.”
Just then an orderly passed hurried-,
!y bv, with a hasty touch of his forage
cap to me, and a smile that seemed to
say : “You see I’m getting on fiueo
iy”
What a time of anxiety, and watch
ing, and hope and fear, those sunny
months of June and July were to ail
of us. ;5 Who can thus walk ’land in
hand in close companionship with
death, like a ceaseless prayer —to-day
an uncertain possession, to-morrow still
more so —who can live through a life
like that, and never forget it all the
years to come ?
At last, thank God, better days
seemed dawning for our island. Both
among the civil and military population
“cases” te :ame few and far between.—
True,those which did occur were of the
most virulent kind, but still we began to
feel that the worst was over ; and our
chaplain and the medical officers who
had toiled night and day among the
sick, began to look a little less weary
and worn out.
Now there is no duty, of all the try
ing duties entailed by the nursiug of
cholera patients, more trying than that
of the last offices to the dead Wei!, a
man —one whose wife and children had
fallen before the pestilence—had died,
rapidly and with every symptom inten
sified to the last degree and they were
lifting him into the coffin.
My soldier friend, the humble bero
of this sketch, raised the head and
shoulders of this poor blackened corpse,
laid it gently in its last resting place,
and then poor Tom—the unwearied,
never tiring, tender nurse—fell back
fainting into the arms of a fellow or
derly
“It’s got me, Jack !” was all the brave
voice said.
In equally curt fashion I heard the
sad news.
As l was sitting under the shade of
the orange trees in our garden, idly
watching the gold-green lizards darting
in and out the vine-leaves of the ver
andah, someone came to say that a sol
dier wished to see me ; and that worthy,
afte' twisting his fing. rs and scratching
his head by way of getting over acer
tain shyness characteristic of his kind
made the short but pregnant observa
tion, “Tom’s took j” a piece of news
that traveled through the regiment, like
an electric shock you may be sure. It
was the worst we ever had—one of
those terrible forms of the disease in
which there is no hope from the first.
Poor Tom seemed literally saturated
with the cholera poison, doubtless from
having been night and day in constant
contact with the contagious influences.
Yet how hard he tried to smile the
same old confident smile as he he and out
his poor livid hand to me, during a
short interval of freedom from those
dreadful cramps.
And so my hero died, cheerful to
the last, and only distressed because of
giving so much trouble to those about
him. Never a murmur passed his
lips, and when the pain made him cry
out, he would say he was “sorry to
make such a bother.”
“He just laid dov n his life, and
thought nothipg about it, so long as
the work was done, Tom uid ”
Such was the comment of the Scotch
sergeant on Tom’s life and death—a
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1577.
comment not made without something
nar akin to tears.
Thus poor Tom, the hospital'orderly,
passed away, and in the swift and chan
ging tide of events was soon forgotten;
although the little God’s Acre just out
side the postern gate of Yittorosa con
tains a gravestone that, in a few sim
ple words, records how well he did his
duty.
Got 'Mother,
A South Hill school ma’am, the other
day, while working aD example on the
board, detected an urchin directly be
hind her in the unlawful act of devour
ing an apple. She said to him : “Tim,
what are you doing ?”
“No’hin,” said Tim, with his mouth
so full that his cheeks stuck out on
either side like aldermen’s stomachs.
“Yes, you are,” paradoxically insist
ed the teacher; “what have you in your
hand ?”
“Napple,” said Tim, with some sur
prise, as lie looked at the fragment ot
the apple in his hand and wondered
who had bit it while he was studying.
“What has become of the rest of
it r
“Dunno,” said Tim, looking around
in an amazed effort to discover who had
the rest of it. “Somebody’s been eatin’
“Have you any more ?” demanded
the teacher.
“Yes’m,” said Tim dolefully : “got
’nother ” “Where is it ?” relentlessly
pursued the teacher.
“’N my desk,” sighed Tim, as he be
gan to suspect that the teacher was go
ing to demand it of him.
“Well, take it out and go stand on
the platform and eat it.”
“Eat ’em both ?” queried Tim.
“Yes eat them both.”
“Eat all I got ? ’ demanded Tim in a
subdued tone of countenance.
“Y*s, eat all you have,” impatiently
responded the teacher, and turning to
the board, continued : “And don’t you
leave that platform while you have any
apple uneaten.”
Silence reigned in the schoolroom.—
The paper pellet pursued its tranquil
transit unobserved. The busy hum of
the studious made more uoise than the
cautious smile of the indo'eut. Tim
stood at his post. The frsguieut in his
hand soou disappeared, and he fell upon
the other apple silently, but deter
minedly. Quickly it followed the first.
Then he put his right hand into his
pants packet and took out an and
after a cautious reconnoitre, during
which he wiped it on his trowsers, he
begi ■ ttie attack, lie carried the fort.
Down weut the hand again and anothei
apple was brought to light. It w s
quickly dispatched. A third followed.
Then he changed his position, and,
resting the weight of his body on his
left leg, sighed as he drew from his 'eft
breeches-pocket another apple. When
it was goue he drew on the commissary
for another, and by the time he pro
duced the eighth apple he was silently
being observed by two.thirds ot tue
boys in the room. The teacher turned
and saw the boy still standing in the
attitude of one who was reaching for
something in his coat-pocket.
“Aren’t you through yet ?” she quer
ied in some astonishment.
“Got ’nother,” stoically responded
Tim, producing it and falling to work
on it. In surprise the teacher saw him
reach for still another, and, when that
was gone, surprise grew to amazement
as his unwavering hand again sought
the gaping mouth of that pocket. As
the boy ate he grew in dimensions, acd
the teacher became alarmed. There
seemed to be no end to the apples that
i.e had in his clothes.
“Tim, for mercy’s sake, have you any
more apples ?”
“Got ’nother,” said Tim indifferent
ty-
“How many more apples Lave you ?”
“Huuno, said Jim ; “guess got two
or three more.”
The teacher did not dare to let him
proceed, and appointed herself an in
vestigating committee to look alter the
back counties. The hoy never changed
a muscle ot his countenance nor moved
an inch while that teacher pulled apple
after apple from his coat, and stacked
them up upon th* desk, until there was
something less than a peck piled up,
with Hade county to hear from. The
matter basu’t been laid before the
school-board yet, but the exhausted
schooluia’am declares that the next time
she wiil learn how much of a crop of
apples a boy has about him before she
issues any orders.
Plumb's Dog.
Mr. Plumb having a strong desire to
own a dog.has been baulked in its grat
ification by the obstinaccy of Mrs.
Plumb. Mr. Plumb wantei a dog for
the protection of his property. Mrs
Plumb was just as desirous as he to
keep the property f.orn the hands of
robbers, and was perfectly willing to se
cure that object through the instru
mentality of a dog, if he didn’t bark
so. But the racket in the night made
her nervous, and through the day it ir
ritated her. A dog could not of course
keep off a burglar without barking, but
it was the want of discrimination in the
animal that disgusted her. H e barked
at every body coming on the premises.
Mr. Plumb muse, have had on trial a
dog a month for the past year. They
would bark About a week ago Mrs.
Plumb heard of a dog that would an
swer the purpose. He would allow one
o come on the premises, and would not
uolest him, but would cot allow him to
eave until his owner came. He carried
; the idea that there was no harm in re
ceiving visitors providing he did not let
, them depart until they were seen by the
proper persons. We never before hearc
; of a dog of that kind. Neither had the
Plumbs. Mr. Plumb hastened away to
see the owner after hearing the news
from his wife. The dog was just as rep.-
resented, and he bought him, and loca*
tod him in the woodshed where he made
a bed for him. The next day was Sat
urday. Mr. Plumb went down town
about eight o’clock in the morning.—
Mrs. Plumb was busy with her baking
and her dinner. It may be well to men
tion that Mrs. Plumb is a model wife.
Her house is as clean and bright as a
house can be made, and she prides her
self on her cooking. In addition to the
baking she was preparing an extia fine
boiled dinner. About ten o’clock find
ing the oven a little slow she went to
the woodshed for a basket of li^ht,
- O
wood Pinch, the dog was there. If
Mrs. Plumb bad not had her bread
in the oven she would have made his
acquaintance, but she was in too much
of a hurry to bestow more than a word
on h m. She filled her basket and start
ed for the door. Then she particular*
ly noticed Pinch. He stood facing her
with his tail to the door, every hair on
his back standing straight up, and the
skin about his neck drawn very un
pleasantly forward.
“Mercy !” ejaculated Mrs. Plumb,
hastily stepping back.
J he hair on Pinch’s neck softly set
tled down.
“Pretty doggy,’’observed Mrs. Plumb,
in a conciliatory voice.
Pjncb made no reply, but stood there
looking at the lady.
“Nice doggy,” added Mrs. Plumb,en
deavoring to diffuse a smile over a very
white face, and taking a step forward at
the same time.
In an instant every recumbent hair
on the dog’s back lifted itself, two rows
of teeth glistened forth, and a most de
pressing growl escaped therefrom.
The unhappy woman gave a ciy of
alarm,dropped her basket and scrambled
with all haste to the top of a box.—
There, having drawn her limbs in un
der her for better protection, she sat
and trembled and looked.
Th= sagacious do*; made no attempt
to retard this movement; on the con
trary he appeared to be highly in favor
of it and when it was over he squatted
down at the door and fixing his eyes
upon her, licked his chops in a painful
ly suggestive way.
Poor Mrs. Plumb ! Her bread in the
oven, her dinner on the stove, and th re
she sat, an object of attention to an in
telligent and faithful dog, and a prey to
the most poignant thoughts. Several
times she offered him a sop in the shape
of a pleasing title. He made no man
ifestations of disapproval to this course,
but when she sought to follow it up
with her body, the hairs on his back
sprang to their feet, the wrinkles flow
ed up his neck, his teeth appeared and
the growl, deep and ominous, followed.
It was uo use. There she was, and
had she been under a ton of iron she
could scarcely have been more a prison
er. She thought of the bread and her
dinner, until the tears coursed down
her pale cheeks in unbr -keu streams. —
Once in a while a subdued sob
would break from her bosom. Her face
grew whiter and whiter as the moments
rolled by and the despairing ache in her
heart grew m .re intense. But there
was no relief. Ihe cold was benumb
mg her body, while the pain was rend
ing her soul. Her reflections finally
grew so bitter that she hid her face in
her apron and sobbed outright. And
there she sat and cried,and there he sat
and watched, true ana faithful to the
last. And there Mr. Plumb found them
two hours and a quarter later, when he
came hone for dinner, and after a ner~
vous search for his wife. Mrs. Plumb
had to be lilted boaily from the box
and carried into the house, her long po--
sition in the cold having rendered her
limbs almost powerless. She never had
been so glad to see her husband snee
the time when Sunday nights were a
speciality with the twain, but she could
not look pleased, she could not uttsr a
word. Ihe pain in her heart was too
great, x here was no need of flying to
the oven to see the bread nor to lift the
lids of the pots to observe the dinner
Everything in the way of baking and
cooking was manifest to the casual üb,.
server on entering the kitchen. It was
the event of Mrs. Plumb’s life Her
brown hair has become a snowy white,
acd her face looks ten years oldei.
Pinch is working in a brickyaid for
his board.
Is Your Note €>oo<l ?
A Boston lawyer was called on a
short time ago by a boy, who inquired
if he had any waste paper to sell
The lawyer had a crisp keen way of
asking questions, and is moreover a
methodical man. So pulling out a large
drawer he exhibited his stock of waste
paper.
“W ill you give me two shillings for
that?”
Ihe boy looked at the paper doubt*
ingly a moment, and then offered fifteen
pence.
“Done!” said the lawyer, an i the
paper was quickly transferred to the
boy’s bng, his eyes sparkled as he lifted
the weighty mass.
till it was safely stowed away
did he announce that he had no mon
ey.
“No money!”
Not prepared to state exactly his
plan of operation the boy made no re*
ply.
“Do you consider your note good ?”
asked thejawyer.
“Y"es sir.”
“Yery well; if you say ytur note’
good, I’d soon have it as the
money*; but if it isn’t goed 1 don’
want it.”
affirmed that he considered
it good',; whereupon the lawyer wrote a
note for fifteen* ponce, vbich the boy
signed legibly, and lifting the bag ot
paper trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow re
turned, and producing the money, an.
nouDced that he had come to pay bis
note
“Well,” said the*lawyer, “this is the
first time,'l ever knew a note to be
taken up the day it was given. A boy
that will do that is entitled to note and
money too ;” and giving him both, sent
him on his way with a smiling face and
happy heart.
The boy’s note represented his hon^r.
A boy who thus keeps his honor bright
however poor he may be in worldly
things is an heir to an inheritance
which no riches’ can buy—the choice
promises of God.
Ends oi Four Great Men.
The four conquerors who occupy the
most conspicuous places in the h story
of the world are Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Bonaparte.
Alexander,‘after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, with his
temples bound with chaplets dipped in
the blood of millions, looked down up
on a conquered world and wept that
there was nut another world for him to
conquer —set a city oil fire and died in
a state of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the aston
ishment and consternation of Home,
passed the Alps, after having put to
flight the armies of the mistress of the !
woild, and stripped “three bushels of
gold rings from the fingers of her
slaughtered knights,” and made her
foundations quake, fled from his coun- '
trj, bated by these who once exuitingly <
united his name with that ot their God !
and who called him Huai Baal, liao- '
nibal died at last by paisin administered -
by his own hand / unlamented aud un- \
wept, in a foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered eight ■
hundred cities—after dyeing his <*ar. ’
meats in the blood of more than one na- -
iion of his foes, after having pursued to ’
death the only rival he had on earth— '
Was miserbly asassiuared by those he *
considered hi- nearest friends, and in '
that very place the attainment of which
had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose uiand te,Kings and
popes obeyed, after having filled the
earth with the terror of his name—aD
ter having deluged Europe with tears
and blood, and clothed the world with
sackcloth—closed his days in lonely
banishment,almost literarily exiled from
the world,yet,where he could sometimes
s e his country's banner waving over
the departing vessels that did not. aud
could not, give him aid.
Thus these four great men, who
seemed to stand the representatives ot
ill those whom the world calls great —
these four men, who each made the
world ti emble to its very centre by their
simple tread, severally died—one by in
todcation, as was suf posed by poisin in
his wine ; one a suicide ; one murdered
by his friends ; ant. one a lonely exile
H wretched is the end of all such
earthly greatn ss.

Slick to Your Business.
There is nothing which should be
more frequently impressed upon the
minds of the young men than the irn
portance of steadily pursueing someone
business. The frequent changing from
one employment to another is one of the
common errors committed, and to il may
he traced more than half the failures of
men in business, ar.d much of the dis.
content and disappointment vhich ren
der life uncomf rtable. It is a very
common thing for a man to be dissatis
fied with his business, and to desire to
change his business for some other,
which,it seems to him,wiil prove a more
lucrative employment; hut,in nine ca3es
out of ten it is a mistake. Look round
you, and you will find among your ac*
quaintances abundant verifications of
our assertion. There is au honest far
mer who ha; toiled a few years, got his
farm paid fur, but does not grow r c’n
very rapidly, as much fot lack of con*
‘entment mingled with industry as any
thing, but ho i3 not aware of it. Le

nia. and how fortunes may be had for

gages his farm to raise money,goes away
to the land of gold, and, alter months
of hard toil, comes home* to commence

nity who are notorious for never getting
ahead. You will fiud them to be those

DR. TUW’g
EXPECTORANT.
This unrivaled preparation has per
formed some of the most astonishing
cures that are recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thou
sands of dollars in traveling and doctor
ing, have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.
“WON’T 00 TO FLORIDA.”
New York, August 30,1872.
DR. TUTT:
Dear Sir When in Aiken, last winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. lam bo well that
I will not go to Florida next winter as I intended.
Send me one dozen bottles, by express, for some
friends. ALFRED CDBHING,
123 West Thirty-first Street.
Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that I have recommended the use of
Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two years, and to my knowledge many
bottles have been used by my patients with the hap
piest results. In two cases where it was thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
eifected a cure. R. H. SPRAGUE, M.D.
“We can not speak too highly of Dr. Tutt’s Ex
pectorant, and for the sake of suffering humanity
fcope it may become more generally known.”—CHSia*
