HOUSEKEEPING.
Deck your house from inward out.
Let there be an inmost shrine
Where to praise with gifts devout
Bove both tiutuao add uivine ;
After that, the holieat room
Hasp with choice things that grow ;
Spare not gold nor silver show,
Ambergris, nor forest bloom.
Man’s wrought marvels dainties,
Colored eanvas, chiseled stones,
Comforts few, but all that’s best,
Eaoh that special beauty owns.
Then as worldy station calls
All your home in order set,
Nor through hastly pride forget.
Chambers still out rank the halls.
After, if you mure oan spend,
Neatly decorate the shell ;
Next your crumbling fences mend,
Lay your road beds deep and well—■
But beware, lest these beguile
Care on outward things so waste ;
Save in heart-cells fair and chaste,
Where does fortune really smile 7
— Scribner for April.
NOBLE LIVES .
There are hearts whioh never falter
In the battle for the right,
There are ranks which never falter
Watching through the darkest night
Aod the agony of sharing
In ike fiercest of the strife,
Only gives a nobler hearing—
Only makes a grander life.
There are thoee who never weary
Bearing suffering and wrong ;
Though the way is long and dreary,
It is vocal with their song ;
While their spirits in God’s furnace,
Reading to His gracious will,
Are fashioned in a purer mould
By His loving, matchless skill.
There are those whose loving mission
'Tis to hind the bleeding heart ;
And to teach the kind submission
Where great pain and sorrow smart.
There are angels bearing to us
Love’s rich ininfo&y of peace ;
While the night is nearing to us,
And life's bitter trials cease.
There are those who battle slander,
Envy, jealousy and hate ;
Who would rather dis than pander
To the passions of earth’s great;
No mere earthly ; „ wer can crush them,
They dread not the tyrant's frown ;
Neither fear nor favor hush them,
Never bind their spirits down.
How to Get Rich,
The following story is toid of a G r
man iaruier living m the town of Caiu- ;
met :
He came to this country from Ger
many twenty-five years ago, and pre
empted a piece of land in the town
where he now lives. He was then very
poor, probably m>t having $25 all told,
but Le possessed a wonderful energy
and an unparalleled tact for get ing
along without any outside aid. When
he wanted anything he went to work
to make it, paying out nothing for
wagons, sleighs, harness or clothing.—
In cutting the timber for hie log house
he found a bee-tree, and followed up
this discovery by others of a like sort,
eecuring both bees and hooey. The
bees he kept, and for years had honey
to eat and to sell. He had no money
to pay for getting his land broken ap,
so he bought five or six hogs, and, ty
ing a rope around the hind leg of eaoh,
fastened the other end of the rope to a
stump, aod all the grr. u he sowed the
first year wa wher > lese “sharks” had
rooted up the grt jd. For wagon
wheels he sawed off the ends of good
•iced logs and the rest of the primitive
vehicle be had no trouble in making.—
He made a rude sleigh, bringing the
rnnnere high up in front and joining
them together. He made harnesses of
ropes or hides, which answered every
purpose, and although the man is to
day rich, nearly all the clothing tor the
family is home-made. He has now on
hand a farm for one eon, and desires to
buy quo for another son, saying he will
pay SIO,OOO in cash for a piece of land
that suite him. He puts no money in
the bank, owns no bonds, hut keeps the
cash carefully hidden away. —Fond du

Which ft* the Happiest Seasea ?
At a festal party of old and young,
the question was asked : “Whrch sea
son cf life is the most happy 7” After
being freely discussed by the guests, it
was referred for au answer to the host,
upoo whom was the burden of four*
score years. He asked if they had no
ticed a grove of trees before the dwell
ing, and said: “When the spring
oomes, and in the soft air the buds are
breaking on the trees, and they are
covered with blussoms, I think how
beautiful is spring ! And when the
aurnnfler comes, and covers the trees
with its foliage, and singing birds are
among the branches, 1 think how beau
tiful is summer ! When the autumn
loads them with golden fruit, and their
leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost,
1 think how beautiful is autumn ! And
when it is oear wiuter, and there i*
neither foliage nor tiuit. theo i look up
through the leafless branches, is 1 nev
er eoutd till now, and see the stars

A Serenade.
C. Claude Culpepper came down
fjfotn Da; ten Wednesday evening with
an intention. Daring the bright Lex
iti- of youth he bad met a tfiyaiJi
er-street b lie who smote him heart
and soul. Mr. Cnlpepper’s intention in
coming to Cincinnati was to serenade
his love. So, gathering a quartet of
his tuneful friends, he started Wednes
day evening for the house of his heart’s
idol. It was twelve o’clock when the
boys anchored under the window of
what C. Claude believed was the aheL
taring fold of his dear lamb. It wasn’t,
however. He had made a mistake of
one hundred in numbering the hotuee,
and it was John Sansoript’s humble
abode that was about to he favjred
with the serenade. John, however, is
one of thoee misanthropic men who
never teem to reoognise a favor when
they meet one ; and when he ires awa
kened from hisslemhers by “Don’t you
remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt 7”
sung in one treble, one tenor, tfro bases
and four keys he was, to draw it mild,
ruffled in his temper. Mrs. S&uscript
heard the melody, too, and whisper
ed :
“Them’s serenaders.”
“I’ll serenade them,” enarled John,
getting up, opening the blinds slyly
and looking down upon the choiristers
below.
“What in the name of the Numidian
lions are you going to do, Sanscript 7”
asked Mrs. S. rather uneasily.
“Just wait and see,” said be, gather*
ing up an armful of boots and laying
them down handy near the window.
Just then the boys tuned up on
“Thou art so near and jet so far.”
“Not so far as you imagine,” growled
Sanscript, as he dumped the coal from
the scuttle conveniently by the window.
Then he tugged the brimming slop
bucket across the room and added it to
his armory just as the gay gam boilers
switched off into.
“What has a poor girl
But her name to defend her ?”
“She sometimes fiads her father do
that pleasant duW,” mutt-red the des
perate man. The boys were siogiDg a
medley, and while Sauscript was gath
ering in the tongs and shovel they be
gan to warble :
‘ My heart is bi oke, God knows it is!”
“And your heads will be in the same
condition when I get through with
you,” panted the avenger. Then be
added the family Bible and Webster’s
Unabridged Dictionary to the pile of
missiles bv the window at the very mo
ment there floated up from below :
“I shall n*’er forget the day !”
“Nor will you ever forget the night
when you came to serenade my house,”
smiled the old man, reaching for the
coal-oil can.
“Oh, my heart is gone,”
sang the boys under the window.
“Yes, and if you saw u.e piling up
these uricks from the fire-place you’d
follow your heart mighty and. q.”
“Tfc <u art sleeping my lore, thou art
sleeping,” chimed the quartet.
“I’ll be if I am,” declared
Sanscript, as he scooped up the hair
brushes and toilet-set from the dressing
case. While he was toting the otto
maa across the room the boys pitched
into
’•Don’t forget your little darling.”
“O, I’ll not forget you, never f*ar,
and you won’t forget me either inter
I’m through with you.”
“Open the window, my sweet one,”
sang the oboriaters.
“Damme if I don’t,” grinned San
script, as he added a panful of ashes
to the pile of destruction by the win.
dow.
“Come, birdie, come—"
“I’m coming, you yelping hounds,”
yelled the old man, thrusting his hsad
out of the window. It took him only
ten seconds of standard time to pitch
boot#, ahoes, coal, hair brushes, books,
toilet-sets, ottoman, slops, ashes and all
upon the heads of tha horror-stricken
serenaders below. Before the quartet
realized tha situation, the atorm was
over. They all survived, but were un
merciful'y demoralized. And whau a
voice came from above, articulating in
the key of J the one word “git,” they
got. — Cincinnati Enquirer.
The following paragraph, which is
receiving a full press circulation, is
well calculated to cause the most vig
orous heart to quail and the domestic
home to tremble to ite very base:
“ Four years after Mr. and Mrs.
Spratt were married in Brooklyn he hit
her on the head with a pie, aod she
wants a divorce. The divorce hinges
on the kind of pie that was used, some
witnesses swearing that it was a pump
kin pie and others that it was a mince
pie. This ease is beiiug watched very
closely by several married couples, who
want to know whether they will have
hereafter a mince pie or a pumpkin pie
judge to deal with.”
•
“Bofore we were married,” said he
to a friend, “she used to say ‘by-by i
so sweetly when 1 went dowo the
steps.” “And now. what does she say 7”
ased the friend. “Oh ! just the same,”
exclaimed the man—“buy-buy.” “She
only exercises a little different spell
over you.”

CALHOUN. GA., SATURDAY, MAY 5. 1877.
Buying a Bridal “Trossy.”
1 Ooe diy last week a powerfully built
young mao to wh ;e risrht •tr.u was
iioa -i a i-.d. ibia 1 of eighteen.
wiih a snarp nose, pale blue e*'ea, and
; hair the color of an old koiie handle,
entered a Lake avenue store with both
eyes full of business As the pair took
seats, a clerk intimated that he was
ready to take bottom price on any goods
in the store, from the finest silk to the
glaziest calico.
“This is kinder delicate business for
us,” replied the young man, casting
sheep’s eyes at the girl.
“3 hat is to say—that is—yes, ahem!”
stammered the clerk,
“But I guess we’ll live through it,
Molly, and ao here goes. What we
want is a troasy for thia girl—a bridal
troasy, I believe they oall it.”
“This is exactly what they call it,”
replied the clerk, “and tell me what ar
ticle you want, and I’ll give the lowest
figures.
The pair looked at each other in a
half foolish way for a minute, and then
the girl hid her face behind a stack of
goods
“A little skecry, but she'll git over
it,” mused the lover. “The first thing
I s’pose is a dress.”
“From one to sixteen dresses, as you
like. You’ll take black silk per
haps.”
“And perhaps I won't. There’* no
styl# about us, Mister. We marry for
love aud we’ve got to make a lee tie
money go a long ways. Is oalico puirtv
low?”
“0 ! Zeke !” gasped the girl, sudden
ly showing her face.
“Well, we’ll go a little better, then,
though calico is my motto. Hand us
down something about 20c. per yard.
Give us dove color, for doves are meek
and lovely, and so is Molly.”
Twelve yards of dove colored goods
were cut off, and Zeke looked around
and said ; “Less see. I s’pose a black
comb, two yards of blue ribbon, a
buDch of hair pins and two or three
collars, ought to figure in somewhere.”
The clerk agreed, aod they were fig
ured in.
“Lesa see. She’ll wear her sister’s
hat to stand up in, and her shoes won’t
show if she has a long dress on. I
guess that’s about all, isn’t it, Mol
ly 7”
The girl blushed very red, beckoned
him closer *od, after a minute, He turn
ed to the clerk and said :
“It’s kinder throwing money away,
but she’s purty good and gentle, and I
don t mind. She thinks she ought to
have a fifty cent eorset and two pairs
of stockings.”
The articles were bought, inspected,
and placed with the “trossy,” and after
the lovers held another whispered con
versatiou, Zeke observed :
“Well, that’s all. Figure up, atd
there’s your cash. We’ve got to go and
git some hair oil, and a dollar gold
chain with a locket to it, aod a pair of
sleeve buttons and some shoe strings,
and you see the outfit is going to squeeze
me bad.”
“When does the marriage come off 7”
asked the clerk.
“In about ten days. She’s a good
girl and loves me, and I’m trying to do
the fair thing Dy her. ’Tain’t many
young men who would put up seven
dollars on a bridal trossy on hia girl:
but when I make up my mind to marry
any one I’m almost reckless cf wealth.
She didn’t Deed the corset any more
than I need suspenders, but she had
a sister married with a corset od, and
she didn’t want to be behind her.”
“I hope you’ll be happy.”
“We shall be—can't help it. This
’ere girl can sling more enthusiasm in
to a mesa of tatera than any queen in
Europe, as for her fried pork—juji !
She can compose poetry, ohop wood,
draw pictures, milk a cow, build a suit
of clothes, or spell down anybody that
Btanda on legs, and rhea winter howls
around our little home, we’ll sit with
our feet in the oven; chaw apples, aod
remember that I had to take her old
dad by the oollar and jerk his haela to
the ceiling before he’d cousent to thia
marriage.. Well, good bye.”

Faith and Works.
Two gentlemen were one day crossing
the river in a ferry boat. A dispute
about faith and works arose, one saying
that good works were of a small im
portance, aod that faith was everyt „.ug;
the other asserting the contrary. Not
being able to convince each other, the
ferryman, an enlightened Christian,
asked permission to give his opinion.—
Consent being granted, he said: “I
hold in my b-uds two oars. That in
my right bind I oall “faith that in
my left, “work*.” Nqw, gentlemen,
please to observe, I pull the oar of faith
and pull that alone. See! the boat
goes round and round, aod makes no
progress. Ido the tame with the oat
of works, and with preci ely the same
result—no advaoee. Mark! I pull
both together, we go on * pace and in
a very few momenta will be at our land
ing place. So in my humble opinion,”
ha added, “faith without works, will
not suffice. Let their be both, and the
haven of eternal rest is sure to be
reached.”
As the flower is before the fruit, so
is faith before good works. Faith is
the parent of works and the children
will bear a resemblance to the pa
rent.
It is not Dough that the inward
works of a are well constructed,
and also the dhfpfate and bands; the
one must set oa the other ; the works
mast regulate the movements of the
hands.— Observer.
The Ban who Grew.
One day last we j k a Detroit mechan
ic w* going a- wo Mich'gun avenue
and btcau.e favorably impressed w lb a
pair of pants hanging iu front of a
cheap clothing store. The prica was
low. the good* seemed all right, and he
made up his mind to purchase.
“I gif you de word of Andrew
Shackson dot dose pants are shust like
irou,” said the dealer, “I warrants
dem efery dime.”
After three or four days’ wear the
purchaser found the bottom of the pants
crawling toward his knees. It was a
bad case of shrinkage, aod he got mad
and went back to the stars and said :
“You swindled cue on these pants !
See how they have shrtmk !”
The dealer looked him all over, felt
of bis head, pulled ou the pants, a* and
finally said :
“I shall give you one tousand dollars
a month if you will travel with me.”
“How—what 7”
“You are shust growiog rig’-1 up at
the rate of two inches a day, and I
takes con aroundt the country on ex
hibition.
Dose pants are shust as long as efer,
but you haf grown oudt off dem.”
“I don’t believe it P shouted the
mao. “I am forty years old, and quit
growing long ago !”
“I gif you de word of Andrew Shack
son dot you vas growing.”
“I don’t care whose word you giva.
I sav these pants have shrunk nearly a
foot.”
“Has de top of dose pants shrunk
down any 7” softly inquired the deal
er.
“Why, no ”
. “Shouldn’t de vaiatbaods shriuk
down shust as queek as dose bottoms
shou’d shrink up 7 If it’s in de cloth,
•ne part should shrink like de odder,
eh 7 When I sold you dot elegant pair
of pants for tree dollars I don't suppose
you vas growing so fast or I shall haf
put aum straps on de botto'ns.”
“We i, I don’t like this way of doing
business,” said the purchaser.
“Shust like me. If I sells such ele
gant pants as doze to a man, and ha
grows out of dem, it damages m* trade.
You haf damaged me five hoonored
dollar, but I haf low reut, pay cash
for meiu goods, and can make yon dis
fifty ceDt tie for five cents.”
The man walked out to the cu. o
stone, aod, turning round, shook
fist and said :
• You are a Aar aod a cheat, and I’ll
dare you out were !”
“Such dings sink deep into my heart,”
sighed the dealer, as he took down his
pipe. “I l inks I sells out dis peesness
and peddles some vases aroundt. Den
when I sells to souiepody, it makes no
d'fference how much dey grow ”—De

The Bricks of Egypt.
The bricks of Egypt are still made
of Nile mud, W’th an admixture of
lime, straw and ashes, which are dow
burnt in kilas. An excellent lime is
made of crushed stones, shells, &c M put
in alternate layers with wood and bram
ble to the tize of a small room. This
is set on fire, and care taken that the
wind shali not blow into the pile.
In many parts the poor peasantry
make bricks with clay and straw, and
dry them in the suo, cementing the
brickwork with mud. It is plain that
it would not be difficult to “dig through”
a wail of this description. (Matt. vi.
19, 20 )
The Arab builders are as idle and

forty-in years in building, and of this
sacred edifice, of which the Lord him*
self was the architect, it is not too
much to suppose that of all that was
best and most beautiful id material aod
work, oothing was wanting. And yet
scarce a stone remains of this Divinely*
designed work, while buildings execu
ted ages before still revsal to us the
treasures of history aod their evidence
of truth. How much do we owe thos
ancient builders? if their work had
been less exact aud solid those records
engraved on the old walls, which unfold

lates the following :
Hiding hotseback just at night,
hrough the woods in Signor county.
Michigan, 1 came into the clearing, in
the middle of which stood a log house,
its owner sitting in the open and >or, smo
king his pipe. Stopping my horse be
fore him, the following conversation
ensued :
“Good evening, sii,” said I.
“Good evening.”
“Can I get a glass of milk of you to
drink ?”
“Well, l don’t know. Ask the old
woman ”
By this time Ms wife was standing at
his side.
“Oh, yes,” said she, “of course you
_ ft
can.
While J-inking it T , rf ked :
“Think we are going' to have a
storm ?”
Well, I really don’t know. Ask the
old woman—she can till.”
“1 guess we shall get one right away,”
said the wife.
Again I asked :
“How mu h land have you got clear
ed here ?”
“Well, I really don’t know. Ask
the old woman —she knows ”
“About nineteen acres,” said she
again answering.
Just then a troop of children came
runnii-g and around tho err*
ner of the shanty.
“All these your children ? said I.
“Don’t know. Ask the old woman—
she knows.”

The Ise of Fork*.
Forks are rarities even now in many
parts of Spain, and in taverns in many
countries, particularly in France, knives
are not placed on the table, because it
is expected that each person has one of
his own, a custom which the French
seem to have retained from the old
Gauls. But as no person will any lod*
ger eat without fork*, landlords are
obliged to furnish these, together with
plates and sroons. Forks are cot an
ancient institution. About the first
royal personage in England who is
kuown to have had a fork was Queen
Elizabeth ; but, although several ware
presented to her, it remains doubtful
whet he* she used them ou ordinary oc.
casions. Forks came so slowly iDto use
io England that they were employed
only by the higher classes at the rnd*
die of the seventeenth century ; and as
late as the eighteenth century table
forks—and, we may add, knives—were
kept on so small a scale by country inns
in Scotland (sod perhaps io some parts
of England) that it was customary for
geutlemeu in traveling to carry with
them a knife and fork in a sha
green case.
The Detroit Free Press says that if
