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 stolen dueriVom tfch men, bn ugnt dis. 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.— ; Ou the board Elder Graves had cutfoufe with his knife . m . vw v y—-Jp Y “T" T*S k 'T u Jr\ D Calif own ©tines. 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.

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.
