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 Lae Commonwealth. • • 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 shine.” ■ 1 y 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.” Nobody likes to be nobody ; bu‘ ev. erybody is pleased to think himself somebody. And everybody is sooic. body; but when anybody thinks him self everybody, he geneva I’y thinks ev erybody else is nobody. 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 troit Free Press. 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 indolent as most of their countrymen acd you may see these fellows sit at their work, wherever they get the chance. But, perhaps, like the steal of Damascus, the slowness of the pro cess renders the work the more durable and perfect, bolomon’s Temple was 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 anew world of knowledge to the Bible student would have been wrought in vain. —Parish Magazine. The Green Ejed Monster. In iront of a gale oa Hastings street, a girl nine or ten years old was yester day morning waiting and watching Of a sudden, Big English, the bootblack, turned into the street half a block be* low, drawing a hand-sled. At the same moment Catnip, the newsboy, turned into the street half a block above, also drawing a sled. Each one had come to take his true love out for an a ring, and neither knew the other’s intenti, . They met at the gate, and while th were scowling darkly at each other, th fue love was wondering how she could rido with both sleds at once. “Villain r 0 back !’’ hoarsely whis pered Big i^uglish. “Don’t tech me. ye hoss thief!” warned the other. They pull dowo their hats, spit op their hands, and met io the shock of mortal combat, while one of the sleds slewed around aod knocked true love into a snowdrift, from which position her mother lifted her out and shook ; her till her teeth rattled—oundled her ' into the house at 1 broke up the sleigh- j ing party. — Detroit Free Press. Pretty Tolerable Mean. A D-troit doctor receotly met an ex patient of his on State <tree' and callet the man’s attention to the fact that he had a bill against him for medical ser vices. “Can’t pay,” replied the man. “Do you want to pay ?” sternly de manded the physician. “Of course f do, but I’d like a little time.” “ How tnuul> ?” “About twenty years.” “I’ll sue this bill !” exclaimed the doctor. “Sue away, for I ain’t worth but a shirt and a half, and I am growing poorer eve.y day.” “Well, air, you are a blamed mean mau !” continued the doctor “How mean am l ? Please state what grade of meanness you mean ?” ‘•I mean,” said the doctor, as he got more coior in his ear, “l mean that you are mean enough to pretend to die to spite your creditors and make your wife trouble. You are mean enough to let them bury you in due form. Then, if I came at night, dug you up carried your carcass on my back for a mile and a half, you’d be mean enough to come to life, pick my pockets, and want me to hire you to fill up the grave again.” “Is that your candid opinion, doc tor r “Yes sir, it it!” “Well, doctor you may drive ou It you have time during the day, please write me out a chart, for you beat Fow ler by a length and a half.

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.

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.” I did not wait to hear any reply, but drew up .Le reins and left immediate*. 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 MeLin were to give a receipt to Hayes for the territorial judgeship of New Mexico, the document would read about as follows: “Received from R. B.
