BY D. B. FREEMAN. FLOWERS. There is no season in the year That lifts man’s heart to heaven so near As summer; When flowers about our pathway grow, And roses on the hedge.roWs blow ; Swc*t summer 1 And as its perfumed breath doth rise, In silent homage to the skies Up-stealing. A thousand memories forth start, Long-hidden pictures in tho heart Revealing. Where lilac chains with scented links, Or treasure tuft of red clove pink, Or heather, 'Mongat which we played, fine stories Of parted ones who once did dwell Together. Again the feathery seeds away Are puffed to tell the time of day, Whilst golden- Hued cowslips into balls we twine, Or part the horns in columbine Enfolden ! Whilst through the woods the whole day long The cuckoo siugs an idle song, Awaking The echo of u dulcet peal, That rang ere hearts began to feel Heart-breaking. And so it comes to pass that we With half a sigh the flowers see, Halt gladness ; And round our hearts they twine and twine, Uatil their beauty makes divine Our sadness. ONLY. Only a baby. Kissed and caressed, Gently held to mother's breast. Only a child, Toddling alone, Brightening now its happy home. Only a boy, Trudging to school, Governed now by sterner rule, Only a youth, Living in dreams $ Full of promise life now seems. Only a man, Battling with life, Shared in now by loving wife. Only a father, Burdened with care, Silver threads in dark-brown hair. Only a graj beard, Toddliog again, Growing old and full of pain. Only a mound, O’ergrown with grass, Dreams unrealised—rest at last. Chicago Tribune. Commerce of the World.

A young lady sent a poem to a Brit ish newspaper entitled “I Cannot Make Him Smile." If he had seen her with a tight tie-back on, trying to run away rom a mouse, he would probably have smiled. n'V 1 ;; } ! - \{y Josh Billing's Philosophy. A good listener will please more peo pie than a good talker will. Most people would rather believe what ain’t so than confess their igno ranee. A certain amount of pride ia very proper; a peacock without any pride at all would be a dead loss. Cunning never won a lasting victory yet. How many people tbero are in this wot Id who have just enough brains to doubt, and to differ, but not enough to decide. When anybody wants to sell then is the time to buy, and when anybody wants to buy, tlun is the time to sell. You will find plenty of friends in this world who are ready to divide the profits of villainy with you, but not one who is willing to stand a share of the loss. It requires great stamina of chame ter to be a successful fool. If we would increase in wisdom, we have got to forget a large share of what we think we know. Mankind can be sorted out in this way : Those few who regulate their ac tions by dictates of their own con science ; those who are regulated by the consciences of others, and the balance whom nothing or nobody can regu late. A good intention is better than in different action. There is one thing that even old age can’t cheat us out of, and that is the memory of a good action. The great blessing of adversity is, it gives our enemies a chance to pitch into us and our friends a chance to de fend us. The best time to ask advice of your neighbors is after you have made uo vour mind wbat you are going to do. Pity is most generally Wasted ; it is so often spent on the sensible. There may be some perfectly happy people in the world; bat they can’t prove it. Experience is about all old age can boast of, and how often is this of abe bitterest kind. The literature of the world is fuM of moral precepts, and the reason wny they do so little good is because most people are anxious to i.ppl/ them to their neighbor and not to them selves. “The way of the transgressor is hard’’ and there ain’t no transgressor a going to beat it, either. It is actually easier to earn two dol lars and a half than to take c-re of one after you have earned it. Mankind generally talks fondly of their honesty, and judgment, and yet there are no two things in their natures they are less certain of. I never have known an individual who was anxious to excel in everything that really amounted to much. An illustrious pedigree is a risky possession; the world won’t compare you with yourself, but are all the time comparing you with a skeleton of your grandfather. He who can control his anger gains two victories —one over himself and the other over his opponent. The man who expects in his old ago to be taken care of by the world be cause his life has been spent in their amusement or instruction, reasons life a fool, and will starve like one too. The man who writes a bad book is worse than the one who poisons a spring; the spring will run itself pure in time, but the book festers and corrupts for all the time. A glowing epitaph costs but iitvle, and nobody dares dispute it — N. Y. Weekly. The Ban who Sneezes. Bilkerson has a terrible habit of snee zing- When he gets under way once he finds it very difficult to stop. Sometimes he’ll fire a salute of fifty sneezes while crossing the ferry. The worst of the malady is that it overtakes him at an unexpected mo ment, and it is impossible for him to suppress it. So, of course, he is often placed in tho most awkward of positions Not long ago he was invited to a din ner party. He accepted and attired himself in his best for the occasion Everything went well until supper time, when Bilkerson was called upon to respond to a toast. The toast was * The Ladies " Bilkerson rose with becoming dignity, and, after wiping bis dome of thought with his handkerchief, he commenced He hadn’t uttered a dozen words be fore a sudden desire to sneeze crept over him. In v>in he tried to suppress it. All of a sudden he let fly, and lhe people present couldn’t help smiling Then off went another—b<>th barrels at once, and as the company tried to look serene, he got ofl a third explo - sion that shook the Hutton eff the bac*. of his shirt and sent his collar flying up over his ears. After half au bour of excruciating torture be ceased firing, and went home. He was making love to a widow not long ago. The widow was as deaf as a post. He was very fond of her and thought she would be just the kind of a woman for him, on account of her deafness, as he’d never get jawed at breakfast tor sneezing her awake on the previous night. But he didn’t win her. The way she came to jilt him was this. Be waa just about to propose. She turned and looked into his eyes It was an exciting moment. Just as he was going to breathe the qtfery through her speaking trumpet, be felt a sneezing spell coming on. In order to avert it he made a terri ble fac'al gyration. The widow saw it and thought be was making game of her. So she struck him over the head with her ear trumpet and told him to get out of the house ; but just then he commeoced to sneeze, and the widow, not hearing him, thought he had the delirium tremens, and had him put out of the house by the hired man. He hasn’t been there since. A prominent member of his church died recently, and, as he was a bosom friend of the deceased, be was asked by the mourning family if he would not officiate as a pall-bearer. Of course, he promised. The funeral was an impressive affair, and seemed to go smoothly euough un til it came the time to carry out the re mains. Bilkerson’s position was at tho bow of the coffin. As that receptacle was unconscious of handles the pall-bearers bad to grasp it with both hands. Bilkerson felt an approaching sneeze just as the procession out of church commenced, and was unable to let go in order to go for his handkerchief; and the people didn’t know what to make of the peculiar faces he was making. Finally, when the mourners ;o: ut of their pew, the solemn silliness ot the scone was disturbed by a loud catisho ! Everyone looked around. In a moment Bilkerson sneezed again so loud and hard that he was almost thrown off his ba'ance. Then he gor. sneezing so fast that it seemed as if he wts trying 10 accorn* patiy the organ. Is was a terrible time for Bilkerson He thought the family would think he was drunk, or something of the kind, so, after the coffin was placed in the hearse, he went and apologized to the mourners, and then be weut home. He didn’t want to spoil the funer al. He keeps out of society now. and does not go around any more, fo r fear his malady may overcome him at some se rious moment. ..... - ♦- - HOBART PASHA'S EXPLOITS. He Fires the first Own in the Rnsso-Tarkish War. A special edition of the London Tel egraph furnishes the following account of Hobart Fasha’s daring exploit on the Danube iu passing the Russian batter ies : “It is stated that while his vessel was lying at Rustchuk the Turkish au thorities received intelligence of the ar rival of the Russians at Galatz, and that they were placing torpedoes in the river. Hobart Pasha was advised to leave his steamer in the Danube and return to Constantinople via Varna, but, disdaining all such counsel, he declared that he would rather blow up his ship than desert her. Nigh' approaching, he made eyery thing ready for running into the Black Sea, in opposition to ail Russian hostile intentions, getting clear fires under the boilers of his craft, in order to avoid smoke from her funnel, and making other arrangements The Rethymo, be it said, is a very fast boat, capable of steaming at the rate of fif teen knots an hour. When Hobart Pasha started on his daring expedition the Danube current was running swift ly, being estimated at fully five knots an hour. Upon nearing Galatz he fouud the heavily-armed Russian bat* teries commanding the river, looking capable of sinking auy thing afloat, be sides the torpedoes reported to be hid den beneath the waters. Immediately it was dark the word was passed, “Lights out," and the steamer sped rapidly along. Tie batteries were soon reached, aod the Russian lanterns, the heavy guns and soldiers in great num bers were clearly visible to those who manned the Rethymo, when suddenly a rocket was sent up from the Rouma nian shore to apprise the Muscovite gunners of Hobart Pasha’s coming Other rockets followed in quick succea sion. Then the hoarse word of com mand was distinctly heard. Bugles sounded a’ud the drums beat uier ny, summoning the Russians to their p- sts. Hobart Pasha expected every moment to be blown out of the water by the fire of the heavy guus that he was treating so cavalierly j but, being determined to make efforts in some degree proportion ate to the great risk he was facing, he ran his vessel close in-shore, not foity meters from the batteries themselves— indeed, so near that the Ru.-sian gun ners •‘ereunnbic to depress the pieces sufficiently fast to get a good aim His b at went quickly past at twenty knots an hour, and then all danger was over. When satisfied be had nothing to fear from his enemies, Hobart Pasha order ed the crew of the Rethymo, which carried one forty-pounder Armstrong gUD, to throw one shell into the center of the Russian camp, an o*der which was quickly obeyed, the missile burst-' ing in the midst of the Muscovite tents Its effects were, of course, unknown, but it was the first cannon-shot fired upon the Danube in the Turko-Ruaaian war. Hobart Pasha subsequently pro ceeded to Constantinople, where he re ceived a hearty welcome and enthusias tic congratulations. CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 0. 1877.1 Milling ter si Photograph. The Danbury NeWf says ; ‘‘Having a photograph taken ia one of the great events in a man’s life. The chief de sire is to look the very best, and on the success of the picture binges in many casts the most important epoch iu life. To work up a proper appearance, time enough is used which, if devoted to catcbiug for their phosphorous, would cancel the entire national debt, and establish a New York daily paper. When you have completed your toilet you go to the gallery and force yoarself into a nonchalance of expression that is too absurd for anything. Then you take the chair, spread your legs grace* fully, appropriate a calm aud indiffer ent look, and commence to perspire.— An attenuated maD, with a pale face, long hair, and a soiled nose, now comes out of a cavern and adjusts the camera. Then he gets back of you and tells you to sit back as far as you can in the chair, and tha it has a remarkable backward spring. After getting you back till your spine interferes with the chair itself, he shoves your head into a pair of ice tongs, and dashes at the camera again. Here, with a piece of discolored velvet over his head, he bombards you in this manner : “Your chin out a little, please." The chiu is protruded. “That’s nicely ; now a lit tle more.” The chin "J viruses agtnn, and the pomade com me • ;s to melt and start for fre lorn. Then he come back to you and slap 9 cue of y u* hands on your leg in such a position as to give you the appearance of trying to lift it over your head. The other is turned under itself, and lias become so sweaty that you begin to feat it will sick there permanently. Anew stream of po made finds its way out. and goes dowu ward. Then he shakes your cad hi the tongs till it settles right, od says it looks like raiu, aud put your chin out again acd punches out your chest, and says he doesn’t kuow what the poor are to do next winter, unless there is a rad ical obange in affairs and then takes the top of your head in one hand and your chin in tho other, and gives your neck a wrench which would earn any other man a prominent position in a new bosp tal; then runs his hand through your hair and scratches your scalp, aud steps back to the camera and the injured velvet for another look By this time new sweat and pomade have started out.. The whites of your eyes show unpleasan !y. and your whole body feels as if it had been visited by an enormous cramp, and another and much larger one was momentarily ex pected. Then he points at something for you to look at; tells you to look cheerful anicompos- and, and then snatch es away the velvet at and pulls out his watch. WheD he gets tired, and you feel as if there was very little left in this world to live for, he restores the velvet, says it is an unfavorable day for a picture, but he hopes for the best, and immediately disappear in nis den. Then you get up and scratch yourself, slap on your hat, aud immediately sneak home, feeling mean, jumoled and altogether too wretched for description. The first friend who sees the picture says he can see enough resemblance to make certain that it is you, but vou have tried to look too formal to be nats ural and graceful. The Liberian Experiment. The Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, has afforded the co ored race, under its best known condition, the opportunity to test its capacity for self-government. For fifty years the experiment has been on trial, aided by the wishes aud prayers of tl.e good for its success, and encouraged by outside help from both Engla and and America Ihe original emigrants were from the United States, where they had been raised in midst of a civilization that could no', but have imparted valuable knowledge to minds capable of receiv. ing enlightened impressions. Ther** have not been acking for 1 aders, men of no mean ability. Nothing, in fact, has bien wanting to insu: a fair ex periment. And to demonstrate the more clearly that the now.. v..* in the race by nature to take its place among the self-governing peoples of the world, the Constitution of the Republic ex cluded all but persons of African de scent from participating in her govern ment, and from the ownership of real estate in the country. The Republic was intended to be, iias been, and is j still, purely under the c-'ntrd and di rection of colored persons. Whites have had nothing whatever to do with its management The experiment has bad the fairest of trials. The result promises to be an utter failure. The blacks of Liberia have made no prog ress ; they still suhstitutue foot or bri dle-paths for roads, and m e toe natives ! for beasts of burden They are con- i tent to p.ddle about in little ca es dug 1 out of ogs. The commerce of the j Coimtr remains a mere barter. Their ! influence on the native tribes has not j been healthy. Backwardness, rust and j decay seem to claim every thing f.r J their vwn. 8o wrote, not long ago, a i colored resident of Monrovia to a New York journal And m?re recently an other resident of that place writes the Boston Herald that the white man must be called in or the Republic will go under. In that there is nothing to surprise the student of history and races of the genus homo. The result of the Liberian experiment will only be a repetition of all similar undertak ings by the colored rece. The race lacks the moral and meQtal oonstitu ion to make by and of itself a success of an attempt at self-gorernment. All that is wanting to prove the fallacy of the opposite view is time and trial. They have cot failed yet in the demonstra tion, nor will they. It is not ear prising, therefore, that that part of the “reconstruction*' poli cy, begotten and tethered by the Re* publican party, which attempted to re bnild Southern society and government on the basis of negro capacity and sov ereignty, hat proven to be an acknowl* edged failure. It could not be any thing else. The raoe that never dii any thing bat fail when it essayed to vindicate its ca| acity for self-govern ment could not do otherwise than fail when it should attempt to govern oth ers of superior intelligence, aptitude, experience, will and persistence to it self. The disgrace of the failure—and it is a keen disgrace—is not with the negioes of the South, but with the leaders of the Republican party, who have demonstrated their incapacity for sound and enlightened statesmanship. If a sense of humiliation does not per vade the party in contemplating the failure, it is more insensible than we think. The experiment has ended in disgrace, been abandoned by its progen itors, and will not be again tried Ne gro capacity for selfagovernment and Republican parly statesmanship are about on a o*i and while the latter may run >u a whi.e longer, the former will be derided wherever seriously mentioned. It is not in the nature of the negro race to govern the Anglo- Saxon. As the preacher said : “Con* aider the wors. of God ) for who can make that straigni which he hath made crooked — Cincinnati Enquirer. Kara. Kars is <sitouted ou a rugged plain 6.009 to 7,000 feet above the level of the sea, was defended by ramparts sur rounded by a ditch, with a strong cita del oo the hill north of the city. It was, however, iusuffioiently fortified, and had a garrison which was small in comparison with the force the Russians brought agaiust it. It is stated on re liable authority that the entire Turkish force in Asia Minor only numbers about 64,000 men, while the Russian army of the Caucasus amounts to 140,000 men These were distributed at the three points, Kars, Erxeroum and Qlti. ErXerouai is now the objective point of the Russians, and is said to be well pro visioned and much better fortified than Kars. It is the capital of the prov ince of Erxeroum, and the principal city of Turkish Armenia. It has a population of about 50,000, and is sur rounded by a large massive citadel en compassed by a double wall, which forms its principal defense. It has been twice destroyed by fire and pillage, and was captured by the Russians in 1829 under Peskevitch.— It commands the road from Persia to Constantinople, and the Turks will probably make a desperate resistance when the Russian armies reach it. Un fortunately, however for the Turks, there are hills bordering Eizeroum which command the citadel, and it is not probable that these are sufficiently defended to enable them to make a very formidable resistance. Once gained by ibe Russians, the fall of the city would only be a question of time, and the march to Constantinople would then be comnaratively uninterrupted, or the Russians would at least meet with no very serious obstacles. ■ ■ Gen. Jackson Collecting a Debt. When Andrew Jacksen was Presi dent he wis waited upon one day by a Washington boarding-house keeper who complained that a Tennesseean, who had beeu appointed by him to a clerk ship in one of the departments, would not pay a board bill “Get his note," said the Preaider t, “for the full amount, interest included, payable in sixty days, and bring it to me ” “That will be of no use," replied the boarding-house keeper, ‘ lor be never pays his notes." ‘ Do as I tell you. Sir," said Jackson, aud turned away. The next day the boarding house keeper reappeared at the White blouse aud handed the note to the President. He took it, read it, wrote ‘‘Andrew Jacksou" across the back in nis well known autograph, and handed it back, saying : “Take that to the bank of the Metropolis and tell them f r me that at its maturity it will be paid either by the drawer or the in* dorser. They wiP discount it for you." A few days afterward the man who had gven the note met his creditor and tauntingly said : “Well, i don’t sup-* pose you have been able to negotiate rny piper?” “ Y es,” replied theboard ing-ti >use keeper, “I had no trouble in getting it discounted at legal rates of interest” “Who in thunder is willing to discount my notes ?’’ asked the Ten nesseean. “The bank of the Metropolis discounted the one you gave me, upon the assurance that if you did not pay it the indorser would.” “Rut who would indorse uiy n >te 7” “Gen. Jackson, and he sent word to the bank that if you did not pay the note be would." It is hardly necessary to state that the ote was promptly paid by the ma ker. FOR CASH.
