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. “Closed for Returns." At 8 o’clock yesterday morning the pr p iot< r of asmalsahoi on Beauhin street put down the curtains, locked th and 'or, and walking off when he was hail ed by a policeman.
