THE RETURN Of SPRING.
Dear as the dove, whose wafting wing
Tiie gi cen leaf ransomed from the main,
Thy genial glow, returning Spring,
Coines to our shores
For thou hast . een frVnnderer long,
On many a fair and foreign strand,
In calm ind bcanty, sun and song.,
Passing 'rcm land to land.
fi ou bring’st the blossom to the bee,
To earth a iobe.of
The leaflet to tho nalcel tree,
And rainbow in the sky ;
I feel thy blest, benign control
The pulses of my youth restore ;
Opening the spring of sense and soul
To love and joy once more.
n* r, , vf W > * , ( .
I will not people thy. gfhep bowers
With sorrow’s pale and s|J e ctre bahd,
Or blend with thine the faded floweis
Of memory’s distant land ;
For thou wert surely never given
To wake regret for pleasures gone ;
But, live an ar\geijenli from heaven,
To mum
Then while the groves their ’garland’. 1 ?
twine.
Thy spirit breathes in flower aud tree,
My heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee ;
And in some calm sequestered spot,
While listening to thy c toral strain,
l’astj'-iefs shall be, a wnile forgot
And pleasures bloom again.
A BROKEN HEART.
BY M. 4UA.

A hundred men were dicing gold,
ana they had named the place ’“Toe
White’s Dream ”
Singular name, but they were siugu
lar men —brawny, rough, grizzled, and
some of them wicked. They were men
from the East, digging, delving, in a
sort of mal frensyr, for the golden
wealth 4;f Calilorriia. On this day ali
work had ceased The men formed in
a circ’c on the gra. i s, and in the centre
was Jack Bullet. His bands were tied
behind him; there was an oid blood
stain on his face, and from his wolfish
eyes he sent murderous glances from
one face to another, and at last called
out:
“I wish I had knifed some of ye!”
None of the men replied borne
were pale, others nervous, and none
scorned ta rU*h*th#jAsfci<£s on -hind?
which was the hanging of Jack Bul
let. ' S-l ■
By aud by a meek and humble look
ing man, named Elder Graves by the
boys, entered rhe circle, and, standing
With one hand on the prisoner’s shoui
fkr, - r i r 1
“Jack Bullet, this is a solemn ttafii-
ing to us all. Here is the rope—there
is the limb —and we are gathered to
hang you. You came to Joe White’s
Dream weeks ago, poor, hftnsisir<kp4!i!l.
We fed and nursed you, and when you
were Well enough to work, a full claim
wus staked out for you How have
you repaid #is, Jack Bullet '! Yoa have

cords a; (I jealousies among us, i n cnted
rows and riots, and last night you
were detected when about to murder
your partner and steal his few hundred
dollars. Wc try to be white in this
camp, and to use all men right, but we
cannot turn yoji prey upon
Some other patty. The men are going
to hang you.”
‘ Let ’em hang j I can’t die bat once,”
sulkily replied the prisoner.
“Jack Bullet,” said the elder, “lam
a praying man, and J want to pray
with you before you swing. I am sor
ry for you. You are a strong uiau, and
you arc to die like a dog 1 Maybe you
have a mother in the East, or you may
have a wife and children. God help
them !”
The elder sank down on his knees
before the prisoner, and prayed such a
prayer as the rocks have never echoed
again. Before he had finished there
were big tears in the eyes of half the
men, and Big Sam went over to Curly
Jim and whispered :
“Now, that’s what I call religium—
the old bang-up religium, sich as we
used to git way back in New Hamp
shire !”
When that prayer had ended a dcw
spirit came to the men. They scanned
Jack Bullet’s face aud saw that it ha 1
softened, and as Elder Graves stepped
aside the President of the camp cut
Jack’s bonds, and said :
“W T e don’t want your blood, though
you sought ours. You are free to go,
Jack Bullet, but don’t you ever enter
Joe W hite’s I>ream again.”
The reprieved man moved away with
out a word, nor did he look back as
long as he was in view. When he bad
disappeared from sight the miners re
turned to their work, each one so busy
with his thoughts that but few words
were spokeu.
That dJy two weeks a man came up
from “Cardboard City v and reported
that Jack Bullet had been eaten up by
a grizzly. Every man in camp felt
glad theu that his town had escaped
the disgrace of a hanging, and in the
afternoon we saw Elder Graves shoul
der a sp'ade and turn down into a little
valley. It was a beautiful spot, al
ways full of the mellowest sunshine
and the prettiest flowers
When the boys had knocked off work
for the daj, they all descended into the
place, for what reas >n no one knew, but
by a sort of
centre of the valley the earth had been
heaped up like a grave. At its head
was a board—at ita/eet a wild rose.— ;

JACK BULLET.
Aged Forty
Men may not have given him r
a chance,
* ' Btrr god will.
You wouldn’t think those rough men
1 hud a sentiment in their hearts, but
they saw through the e’der’s motives iu
an instant, and the roughest man in the
lot stooped-down and carefully re-ar
ranged one of the sods.
Three weeks more went by, and one
eveuiug Jack Bullet came into Joe
White’s Dream alive and well. He
stood on the little square in the centre
of the town, and fee sa|d not a word till
w wot?d?rfug men bad gathered about
him. Tliod he pointed to the grave in
the valley, his eyes filled with tears, and
he chukingly said :
“Boys, I sneaked back here this
nalufrmi’ to kill Someone in revenge,
but I cuui across that—that grave down
—down thar, and—and—”
He held out his hands to the men,
and the tears blinded him so that he’
could not see a face. Elder Graves
went down on his knees again, every
man with him, and there were more
teai 8* and a prayer so beautiful, and
tender, and true, that Jack Bullet sob'
bed like a child. His heart was bro
ken, and all the Satan in his nature
was driven out in a moment.
Joe White’s Dream was a mining
camp for many months after that, and
Jack Bullet was one of the best men in
it. The head board grew gray as the
rain beat down and the sun shone, and
the wild rose grew till it covered all
the grave, but no one disturbed the
sod. The grave was a sign—a beacon
light, as it were—and perhaps miners
were right whet they said of our
town :
“They’ve had a revival up thar, an’
they are, the best, chaps aa? the hardest
Workers ou the slope.”
A Happy Heart,
A kittle boy -came to me this morn
ing with a broken arrow, and begged
me to mend it foi him It was a very
handsome arrow and it was the pride of
his heart just then, so I did not won
der to see his lip quivering and the
tears come to his eyes.
“I’ll try to fix it, darling,” I said,
“fmt I aiy afjuifj I cannot do it.”
' Tie watched me anxiously for a few
moments, and then buid cheerio lly;
“Never mind, if you can’t fix it I’ll
be just as happy without it.”
Wasn't that a brave, aunshiay heart •?
And that made me think of a dear
little girl, only three years old, whom
I |nce saw bringing jcljoicfst
playthings to amuse a homesick cousin
Among the rest was a little trunk, with
bands of silk paper for straps —a very
njj£tty tap; but catelcss Fred tipped
lift lld*too'far back, and broke it off.—
He burst out with a cry of fright ; but
little Minnie, with her own eyes full of
tears said :
*’Never mind, Freddie; just see
what a^*cunning little Grad'd the top
will make.”
Dear little Minnie went to live with
the angels a few years ago, but we have
a great ina n y such sweet memories to
keep Of her.
Keep a hampy heart, Jjlt’.e children
and you’will be like sunbeams, every
where you go.
Oyster Farms.
llow would you like f o live where you
could go out and pick oysters tor sup--
per like you can Apples.
You need not smile; you could ea
sily do it if you lived near .an oyster
farm. And it is about these curious
farms I want io tell you.
You biust Know that wc eat so many
oysters that they grew scarce iu many
places, and people began to fear that
we would exhaust the supply. That
would be a sad calamity to those who
are very fond of oysters, so some en
terprising men set themselves to work
to cultivate oysters as we do potatoes —
only in a different way.
When the little oyster is launched
into life, to take care of himself, his
first care is to hunt a home. His wants
are very simple, requiring merely a
holding on place —for holding ou is the
speciality of an oyster.
If he cannot at once secure a safe
home he is almost sure to be devoured
by fishes, for fish like oysters as well as
men.
As soon as this fact about the young
oyster was discovered by the wise men
they conceived the idea of providing a
home for the little creatures, as men
provide homes for poor children—only
an oyster don’t car* for cradles and
milk, their nurseries were made iu this
way.
Strong stakes are driven in the mud
—under water, of course—and between
them were woygij. bra.nQ.hes of trees —
that was all.
Having the nurseries ready, the
men now brought several boat loads of
old oysters, and placed them on the
ground around the stakes, to start the
farm. As tire young oysters are hatch
ed they naturally attach themselyes to
the branches, aud proceed at once to
grow. x
Each oyster is said fee lay millions of
eggs in a season.
There are other ways of farming oys
ters. One way, iu use in Italy, where
a small lake is devoted for the purj ose,
is to build a small hill of stones, aud
make a sort offence around it, with
stakes into the ground. The old
oyster fives-on the hill, and the young
ones live on the stakes.
. •: CAUHGUN, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH. 24. 1877.
When a farmer wants oysters, be has
•only to pull up a stake aod pick them
off. .
In France there is still another way.
The farms are enclosed in stone walls,
and stones lye. scattered T aiong
,yrho jive oa grovyid
Of course the b bys liye on the
stone* * !
Thete are thousands of those farms
-on Die shores of France. They have
even gone so far as to improve the fla
vor of the common baby oyster, by ar
tificial feeding.
Don’t you think it must have been a
brave man who ventured upon the ex
periment of swallowing such a curious
looking object as au oyster, for the first
time ?
There is a legend about this indi
vidual, which may be true—it is old
enough to be so, and I will tell it to
you. * •' -
“Once upon a time,” a long time ago,
a man walking on the sea shore saw an
ugly looking object which he carelessly
kicked away. The oyster —for it was
an oyster—probably astonished, opened
its shell, perhips to 8 e who was its
adversary. Seeing the cream colors of
the in£db,' the discoverer thought be
would examine it, and took it up for
that purpose. The oyster, insulted
slammed the door in his face, catching
the mao’s fingers as he did so.
As soon as he could get it out. he
very naturally put his smarting finger
to bis mouth when lo ! he was delight
ed with the taste, and proceeded at
once to seize the oyster, and commenced
the war upon the species, which has
increased from that day to this. He
broke the shell and cautiously tastod—
the result satisfied'—he ate the whole.
It is fair to presume that the secret
got out.
All great mepbave l o ved oysters, and
so Have all small men. I fancy though
there’s not so much said about it.
In Paris alone, it is said one million
are eaten every day.
Let £lftiltiren be Children.
I always feel like thanking Heaven
when children are real children ; when
they have round, happy faces, and are
utterly without any sense of responsi
bility, and believe that this world is a
good one, meant to phy in, and that
and Pag have. jJjgj*owJ*mUu-.
tucrats’fliod the purse of Fortunatus.
The pain, the care, the trouble, the
prudence will all come after awhile. —
They will kuuw what life really is soon
enough. t>un’t teach them too early
to save pennies, and count the cost of
clothes, and know that money is hard
to get, aud that this is a world of trou
ble. Don’t load them with such cares
until you are forced to do so. Keep
the family anxieties from their ears,
aud pack them off to bed before you
talk over ways and means.
Let them believe that all the people
they know are friendly, and true and
honest, just as long as possible. Turn
the rose colored light upon the sceue,
and let all the figures their eyes rest
upon in young days look their best
and brightest; and often tell them about
Heaven aud the angels.
To the pure all things are pure.—
Don’t lend the little things your old
spectacles. While they believe this
world a Paradise, it is one to them. In
some sense ignorance is innocence, and
the better we believe other people to
be, the better we are apt to be our
selves.
To watch and work and be troubled
aDout many things, to doubt aud to
suspect and not guard ourselves from
our enemies, does nothing to make ds
auy better, even if we see the necessi
ly of it,and surely it makes us less hap
py. Let the little ones we love keep their
trust and their hope and their faith
while they may; and keep all world
ly c_re from them while it is possible
and prudent to do so.
They will only come to the battle of
life at last with stronger hearts and
purer souls for having been children as
long as possible.
A Timely Warning.
He was an elderly man of remarkably
thin features. II is dress consisted of
a high crowned hat, a worn black suit,
a pair of capacious shoes, and a dirty
white neckerchief sufficiently limped
and scrumpled to disclose the greater
portion of his wiry throat. He enter*
ed a saloon on Pearl street, and after
saluting the bar tender, and making
some comments on the “disagreeableness
of the weather,” backed up against the
stove, arid proceeded to take the “cheer
ful warmth” thereof.
A second party entered the ro£m. —
He was a young mau and his “makeup”
styled him a “verdant country youth.” i
He' approached the bar and signified to
the waiter that he wished for a glass of
whisky, whioh was placed before him.
After paying for the beverage he rest
ed one arm upon the bar was passing
the glass to his lips when the thin man
sprang to his side and in an excited
voice exclaimed
“Young man, beware I”
“ Wk-wha*what ?” said the country*
man, as be. half frightened, empti.-d a
portion of his beveiage on the-floor.
“Set down that cup,” continued the
slim man. “It’s loathsome dregs are
remorse, disgrace and death.”
“No 'taint, it’s whisky,” said the
yootb and again attempted to imbibe ;
but the bUqj man held his arm and
yelled :
“Set down that cup. A demon’*
spirit is infused in its sparkling por
tion.”
“Is there f” inquired the verdant,
staring hard at the thin mao, and set
ting the glass on the bar.
“The evil is contagious an© the in
fection death, 1 ’ Continued the slim man.
“Y T ou dou’t meau it?” replied the oth
er, in a frightened voice
“Distilled by a fire that scarce is
queuebed, it kindles fire in the soul
that burns and burns, still burning uii
til a bleak desolation marks the destruc
tion of all that is pure and noble,” re
sumed the thin man “Set down that
cup, or fear the of a
drunkards doom !”
“Oh, my Jemmy!” moaned the
young man, turning pale, and leaning
on the bar fur support.
“Look forward with hope; but be
ware,” continued the thin man! “There
are fascinations which charm one on,
where virtue shrinks with horror.—
There are enticements which draw the
wavering from the road of honor, and
which even beguile the innocent to the
abandonment of all that adds beauty to
the youthful character, or honor to the
name of man. The rapids are surging
around you ; hear you not the thunder
ing of the fall T r
But there was no one there to answer
his questiou, the young man had fled,
and the thin mao, turning to the bar
tender, said ;
“It would be a sham o to throw away
that whisky these hard times, w and so
he drank it himself.

a few days ago iu order to visit the
State House, He came home yesterday

when his little brother ran to meet him

“Nevermind the talx, mother, but

“I don't waut no sass !” said the j

Perftct Faith.
John B. Gough the follow.,
ing pathetic episode in a lecture at St.
Louis recently
A story was told of a street boy in
London who had had both legs broken
by a a.ay passing over them. He was
laid away in oncf oT the beds of the hos
pital to die, and another little creature
of the same class was said near by,
picked op with famine fever. The Li
iec was allowed to lie down by the side
of the little crushed boy. He crept
up to him and said :
“Bobby, did you never bear about
Jesus?”
“No, I never heard of him.”
“Bobby, I went to a mission school
once, and they told us that Jesus would
take vou to heaven when you died, and
you’d never have hunger any more, aud
no more pain if you axed hint.”
“I couldn’t nsk such a great big gen
tlemau like he is to do anything for
me. He wouldn't stop to speak to a boy
like me.”
“But hewilldoallthat if you ax him.”
“How can I ax him if I don’t know
where he lives and how could I get
there when both my legs are broken ?”
“Bobby they tell me at mission school
as how Jesus passed by. Teacher says
as he goes around. How do you koow
but what he might come around to this
hospital this very night. You’d know
him if you wus. to see him.”
“But I can’t keep my eyes open.—
My legs feel so awful bad. Doctor says
I’ll die.”
“Bobby hold up yuur hand, and he’ll
know what you want when he passes by.’
They got the hand up. It dropped.
Tried again. It slowly fell back.—
Three times he got up the little hand,
only to let it fall. Bursting into tears,
he said :
“I give it up.”
“Bobby, lend me yer hand; put yer
elbow on on my niller ; I can do with
out it.”
So one hand was propped up. And
when thej came in the morning the
boy lay dead, his hand still pioppel up
for Jesus. You may search the world
aud you cannot find a grander illustra
tion of simple trust than that of the
little boy who had been to mission
school but once.

ticularly adipose Srfd jolly Forks town
ship farmer, as he poked his head
through the reporter’s window, “come

t c old woman and the children they

“Very natural," we remarked*
