by and. b. freeman. my baby brother. I have .a baby brother, A darling little thing ; I remember how I kissed him When they brought him in the sprifig. And how I used to tease him It makes me blush to tell ; IJo was so fat and tendor That I could uot do it well. But now he is getting older, And has a smile for all ; My mother lets me hold him, And once I let him fall. Be Independent, Yes, be independent. , J Don't hang round and wait for some body else to go ahead. Break your own path. Don’t put off to-day’s work until to-morrow in the hope that it will be done for you. If you want to succeed take off your gloves and callous your own hands on tho plow handles. If you are a woman, and tho servant goes off in a huff, be independent, and wash your dishes, and scrub your owu floors, aud Hugh in her face when she comes buck, expecting to be received with open arms. Thero is nothing like showing fate, oven it it be fate in tho shape of au ill-tompercd servant, that you are in dependent of it, and can get on with out it. When people find you don’t want any of their help they aro always eager to help you. Things that you do not stand iu need of will be offered you freely. • When you soo a duty before you, do it, and don’t stand shivering on the brink for fear somebody will say some, thigg about it. What matters it if Mrs. A. says you are a fool, and Mr. B. expresses the opinion that there is something wrong in your upper story 7 What he says and what she says does not alter it. Don’t a.ik everybody’s advice about everything. Have pluck enough to do cide for yourself. If you want to buy a bushel of corn don’t spend a day run ning about asking X. Y. and Z. where you had better buy it. or if you hadn’t better wait until grain falls. Don’t be a sluve to what anybody is going to say about you. If you have enemies, and of courso you have, un less you arc a born idiot, lot them fling out at you. Show the world by your daily life that your enemies have lied. Live lying slanders down. Lift up your hcad and be independent of them. Have no confidents and go betweeus. Mutual friends are disastrous fail ures anywhere out of Charles Dickens’ novels. If you have secret sorrows trust them only to your God, for He alone can keep a secret. In all matters of right and wrong judge for yoursolf; decido for yourself, stand by yourself. Boar in mind the solemu and stu pendous truth that you aro preparing yourself for eternity, and act in such a way that you may not fear to have the sunlight of eternity stream full upon your finished deeds. Be independent. Do not cast your burdens upon oth ers. Rest them between yourself and Heaven ! Tha tree which lifts its rugged branches to the sky, in the open field, stands firm before the temptest which wi;l uproot its brother in the thickly grown midland. It has loarnod the lesson which every man who would make his life a succoss Bhould learn—to be independent. .—— —• ltuUorwick'N Weakness. Deacon Grimes called the other day upou Mrs. Butter wick to ask for a sub scription to the missionary society,— The following conversation took place : “Your husband is a Presbyterian, i believe, Mrs. Butterwick ?” said tht> deacon. “No,” replied Mrs. 13., “he belongs to everything else on earth but the church. That’s what I say to him, that while he is joining so much he’d bet ter join something decent, that’ll do him some good. But he nays he has no time. lie belongs to about forty six secret societies of various kinds.— He’s the awfulest man for such things you ever saw, and all the time running after them. Monday night he goes to the Free Masons, Tuesday right he associates with the Odd Fellows, Wed' nesday night is his Red Man night, Thursday night is his Temperance lodge, Friday he goes fooling along with the Knights of Pythias, and all day Sunday he is visiting the sick and the widows and orphans of dead members. If there were sixty days in a week I believe Butterwick would have some lodge to attend every night. “Mr. Grimes, that man actually knows ninety-four grips and over two hundred pass-words. And he’s awful mysterious about them. The other day I saw him swaging his arms about kinder queer at breakfast, and presently he stops and says : ‘Thunder, 1 forgot where I was ! Mary Jane, you saw that 7 It was a grand hailing sign. Swear you'll neyer reveal.’ And, you know, he’ll wake up nights and ask me if I heard him talk ing iu his sleep, and if I say yes, he’ll look seared to death, and get out his pistol, aud say he’ll blow my brains out if I ever repeat one of those pass-words. And he is all the time practicing on hio, but he won’t even tell me what any of them are, aUhough ho knows I’m just dying with curiosity. He says bo knows more secrets than any other rnau U R£> 4 Ca lljoim <riincs. in the whole State, and he Bays if he was tu toll one of them, those Knights and Patriotic Sons and the rest of them, would put him into a vault and seal him up alive, or tear him to pieces with rcd*hot pinchers. Says they’d bruise him into eternity quicker’n wink. Worries me nearly to death. S’pose he was to become temporarily insane and gush, but, what’d become of me and the children ? “He’s so careless, too. I see him giving the grand hailing sign to the slopman yesterday, and the slopnsan asked Bridget if Mr Butterwick bad the St. Vitus dance bad j and I know when he tried one of those grips on the man that came to tune the piano, the man said it he squeeicd his hand that hard again bo’dgivo Mr. Butterwick a bloody nose. “And, as for processions. Well, it seems to mo that when Butterwick ain’t at a lodge, he’s marching in a piocess ion. ways some funeral or celebra. tion or something, and ho turns out and goes skipping around the streets, cd in a cocked hat and a sword, and looking fierce enough to frighten any body out of their wits. And he told me that sometimes he gets all those grips mixed, and he’ll give a Mason an Odd i'ellow’s grip, and tell me not to be surprised if he is kidnapped and made way with beforo morning. And he’ll kiss his children good by, and making his last little arrangements so’s everything’ll bo straight when he’s gone ; and then the children and me’ll cry, and he look solemn, and go to bed to rest before he meets his doom. But nothing ever came of it. They never touched him. “You ought just to see tbe letters that come here direct to him. ‘E. But® terwiok,' aud then a whole alphabet of letters strung after his name, lie’s a Bright Worshipful Graud Master and a Sir Knight, and an eminent Past Grand Sachem, and a Chief Magnificent Rev erend Druid Priest, and a whole lot more such things as that, enough to take your breath away ; and with it all he’s no more stuck up than vou aro.— Just as humble as a lamb. And he says he can reel out more stuff tbatthey say at ceremonies than’d fill a small li* brary; and he has about sixty sheep i skin aprons, and all kiuds of pictures on them, that he wears when ho is on duty. “So he has no time to attend church, and no money for heathens. lie spent his last dollar Saturday paying up his last dues to the Knights of Pythias, and he says if he can’t settle up with the Druids by Thursday they’ll cut him off and chuck him out, I don’t know what happens to a mau when the Druids shut down on him, but Butterwick hints that it is not mnoh better than suddon death. Perhaps you’re a Druid 7 No 7 Well, you call and see Butter wick, and he’ll explain it to you, and meantime those heathens will have to shuffle along the best way they can.— Maybe, if you was to write to them i how Butterwick was fixed they migh* consider that sufficient. Good morning. Remember me to Mrs. Grimes.” Then tho deacon withdrew arid went around to visit a less mysterious fam ily. —4 —- A Little Logie. “Father, do you remember that mother aked you for $2 this morn ing?” . *‘\ r es, my child ; what of it ?” “And you remember that mother did not got the §2 7” “Yes. And I remember what little girls don’t think about!” “What is that, father 7” “I remember that we are not rich.— But you are in a brown study. What is my darling thinking about ?” “I am thinking how much a cigar cos's.” “Why, it costs ten cents —not $2, by a long shot.” “But ten cents tbreo times a day is thirty cents.” “That’s as true as the multiplication table.” “And thero aro seven days in the week.” “That’s so by my almanac.” “And seven times thirty cents are two hundred and teD cents.” “Hold on; I’ll surrender. Here, take the $2 to your mother, and tell her that I’ll do without cigars for a week.’’ “Thank you, father; but if you would only say a year, it would save more than §lOO. We would have shoes aud dresses, and mother a nioe bonnet, and lots of things.” “Well, to make my little happy, i will say a year.” “Oh, that will be so nice. But wouldn’t it be as easy to say always 1 Thpn we would havo the money every year, and your lies would be much sweeter when you kiss me.” A tuan was sawing wood yesterday af ternoon in a back yard. Ho severed two sticks as thick as your wrist, and then went into the house. “Mary,” said he to his wife, “my country needs me. There’s uo use talking, we’ve just got to slaughter all these Injuns ; no true patriot can be expected to hang around a wood pile these days.” “John,” said his wife, “if you fight Injuns as well as you saw wood and support your family, it would take 118 like you to capture one squaw, and you’d have to catch her when she had the ague, and throw pepper in her eyes.” John went back to the wood pile, wondering who told his wifo all about him.— Halt Lake Tribune. The Strife Tor Unity. Once upon a time there whs a con flict among the waters. Oil was thrown upon them to pacify them. Tbe wares, instead gf subsiding, commenced to fight about the oil, and there was more strife than ever. Two dogs were once fighting. A man, to stop them, threw a bone at them.— The two dogs then went to fighting over the bone. Mankind were once fighting.— Christ gave his religion to stop it. They then went to fighting over his re ligion. Some shooks of grain were once scat tered on the ground. A husbandman gave them a band to bind them in a sheaf. They got to fighting over the band, and were more divided than ev er. ; The Christians were once divided The church was given them as a bond of unioQ. They got to dividing on the church and arc now more divided than before. Two men were once drowning.- A rope was thrown to them to save them. They got to fighting about tfie rope,and both were drowned. Men were once perishing. Christian ity Was sent among them to save them. They tried each to get it exclusively, and many were lost without it. Two oxen were once pulling a plow. They pulled the plow to pieces. The beasts of the barnyard once met to form a union. Eaoh class excluded all the rest, and they formed a union by eaoh declaring that there were no beasts but themselves. The Christians once met to unite in one chuich. Each sect excluded all others, and formed a union by de claring that there were no Christians but themselves. And, as the asses said there were no beasts but asses, and the sheep that there were no beasts but the sheep, and the hogs there that were no beasts but logs, so tbe Episcopalians said there were no Christians but Episcopalians, and the Catholics that there were no Christians but Catholics, and the Bap tists that there were no Christians but Baptists. Three brothers, disagreeing, met to agree. Each decided that he was all, and that, agreeing with himself, all the brothers were agreed The churches met to agree. Each de cided that it was the only church, and that, agreeing with itself, the whole church was agreed. A man was to receive all his relatives to an entertainment. But, as none of them came, he decided that they were not his relatives, and that, therefore, he, entertained the whole family, in himself. A church once invited all other churches to return to it. But, as none of them returned, it decided that they were not churches and that all the churches were returned. A mau learned that the entire popu lation of the world was four thousand millions, decided that nohody was any body but himself, and that, therefore, he was four thousand millions. A certain sect, learning that great glory attaches to the church, decided that there is no ohurch but itself, and that, therefore, it has all that glo ry* - -4 ♦ Sweet Beginning*. A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, Mr. Tupper told us some years since; and if ho never said an other word wo wished to hear again that one was true enough to be engrav ed upon a jewel to sparkle “on tho stretched forefinger of all time,” as ev ery one knows that, who has a babe in the houso. Who is there that can bring the same fullness of innocent and unselfish light and life into a house when there is no baby there? There may be young people by the score, with singiDg and laughing and running and dancing ; but it is all iu the way of their own enioy ment, and even if others are allowed to share it, it lends none of that wide sense cf disinterested pleasure that a baby brings, where everything bends to his royal pleasure and needs, and where every one’s love is a summer heavenr under which bis little soul expands, and which grows more .intense i|ay by day with that little soul’s expanding—with the first hearty laugh, the first articu late syllable and triumph of speech, the sweet cooing cries, the pattering feel, the little mischiefs, the long frolics, the firy tuoe that is turned, the first amaz ing plunge into the problems of life aud questions. What money getting, whai novel readiug, what dancing or boating or driving, what flirting or co queting, gives any such pleasure as days and weeks of life with this little new soul ? What lover’s kiss was ever any sweeter than the kisses that fall and nestle in these dimples? What pic ture, what painting, can ever equal the beauty of any baby ever born and loved 7 Wheie can one live in such a region of perpetual play going as its mimicries make ? Where are we to have any such exciting dreams as that of this opening intellect and develop ing body, every muscle of the one on a spring, every object affordingsuch large eyed grave wonder to the other 7 What scene will ever be so breathless as the first walk 7 What prima donna’s jew j el-song will have for us the honeyed sweetness of the fiist lisping sentence 7 And then what eagerness of acquisi tion, to which the stars in the sky seem just as attainable as the rose in the dish, comes in for side show ! What profound meditations, whose bubbling CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 80, 1877. lying there to greet them with rosy smiles and chirruping cries, with no Cupid to splosh iu his bath, no little mouth to fill, eager as a bird’s, no de icious little flesh to lavish kisses on, no )reath to breathe on, one sweeter than tho breath of roses is, no dear little heart to fill with joy, no long tired day of delight to look forward to! t It is a tyrant, though, this baby, for all. His rod is on our necks. But such a glad, gay, loving little tyrant, with his great, sweet, wet kisses, his smiles ike breaking sunshine, and his griefs, in which his eyes are nothing but two great beautiful tears themselves, that our worst enemy would be our liberator. May his shadow never be less ! May he live a thousand years ! May he reign forever, in short, in all our hearts and all our homes ! And may we all thank heaven that, wonderful miraculous, irn jossibje, as it now seems, yet all of us sprang from just such sweet begin nings ! result is bo unknowable that the Spinx norer read obscurer riddle ! and what heavenly smiles iu what plaoij dreams, so that we go down on our knees before the old snperstitution, and are sure that if the angels never whispered lo any other baby in his sleep, they are cer tainly whispering to this one : “Slumoers—such sweet angel scemings That we’d ever have such dreaoiings, Till from sleep wo see t-bee breaking, Aud would always have thee waking !” It does not occur to us to ponder what, warrant this b.by has for all his excel lence, and that being our child, he should partake of our imperfection.— He is as independent of us as a star in its glory, he is himself pure, and sim ple, as much as if he were the first ba by of the universe; what is good in us he has—he can inherit nothing evH ; onlj we are once in a while amaxed at ourselves to think we dure call the little wonder ours. And if there will in trude upon ns now and then a shiver® ing fear lest it be beyond cur deserts to keep this treasure, lest the thing be too fine for earth, lest any of the plagues that infest the kingdom of childhood show their dark faces by his little crib, we aroynt it and put it away as a dark and evil ghost stealing upon the ban quet. We may die, and all the world may die, but not this sweet piece of im mortality in which the whole race has just come to flower, and with home our light would go out forever. What do they do, we ask, in houses where there is no baby 7 what happi ness do they have worth the name 7 to what hope do they look forward, with out this bright world at command, into which every day we penetrate farther 7 How dreary it must be to them to open their eyes in the morning, with no baby How to Do l!p Shirts. A lady gives the following in the Ohio Farmer : To three tablespoonfuls of common starch, well boiled in one quart oi wa ter, add a lump of lard the size of a pea, a tablespoonful ol loaf sugar and a little salt. Let it cool until you can use it without burning your hands.— When the clothes are thoroughly dry, dampen your shirts in a thin cold starch, roll them up and let them May before ironing. When ready to iron have a bowl of clean cold water at hand, dip a clean handkerchief into it and wring it out dry; then stretch the shirt over a shftt board, and with the dampened handkerchief wipe off every particle if starch th - 1 appears on the surface, taking care always to wipe downward. Be careful not to have the iron too hot. The more pressure you use on tho starch surface the finer pol ish you will get. I have done up shirts this way for several years, and know it will produce a polish equal to any laun dry work. I forgot to mention in its proper place that you should never boil the atarch until the clothes are ready to hang up to dry. No sliirt ?nn be done uicely without a shirt board. .The one I have is two feet long and one foot wide, an inch board plained smooth, and covered on one side with six thicknesses of flannel. The first five thicknesseses are stretch ed over tightly and tacked securely on the edge of the board, all around, the white flaDnel outside is stretched to the edge of the others, so that it cau be removed for washing whenever necessa ry. Old blankets or shawls that have done their duty, as such can be well utilized for this purpose. A Life Sketch. There was half a ton of coal lying ijul on our front pavement. The first fellow who came along and lookod at it measured it carefully with his eye, spit on his hands and then went on. The next one was a stout boy of some sev enteen dirty summers. He espied that pile of coal afar off, and made a rush straight over it into the office, and all out of breath yelled : “Saymizzer, wanchercoalputin 7” “Y T es, sir.” “Woche gWe 7” “Quarter.” “Where’s your shovel and things ?” The articles were produced, and the active youth carried in one seuttleful with great vehemence. Then he went out and leaned on the shovel and talked to another boy until a two-hundred* pojind tramp came along. “Say, trampey, don’t yer want n job?” • • “In course I wants a job. \v hat is it?” “Put this ’ere coal in. I’ve got to go down town to meet a man on business, m won't wait." The boy shot off, and Mr. Tramp came into the office with the air of a representative of a noble house recov ering from a protracted drunk. “What’ll ye give to have that coal pot in 7 That boy’s lit out." “A quarter.” “flow do you s’pose a man’s goin’ to live onto a quarter 7 The nobility of labor sjoros the paltry offer. I’ll do It for fifty cents." “Don’t care what you’ll do it for ; we'll give you a quarter." “That’s the way bloated capital al ways grinds the face of the poor. I’ve got to submit, though I s’pose. But remember, kind sir, there’s a day a cornin’, sir—th ro’s a day a cornin’.— Can’t you give us five cents to get some crackers to start in on 7 It’s weari some, working upon a vacuum ” He went out, cast a look of weary woe upon the pile, shook his head at the shovel, and then sauntered away around the corner. “Can’t you give a fellow a quarter to get his boots me.ided 7" said a brill iant young man of the professionally ouUof work class, as he leaned in at the window, introducing an amosphere aerated with stale whisky and red her* ring. “Yes, sir; put that coal in and we will give you a quarter.” “YV-ha-t! Say, mister, you must be looney, ain’t you ! I’m a lookin’ arouud for work, I am. I ain’t hunt in’ up jobs of putting in coal. Ain’t you goin’ to gi’me that quarter 7” “Have but one quarter, and that’s to pay for putting in that coal.” “Well, mister, any man as mean as you are ought to put his own coal in ; that’s ell I’ve got to sav,” and, whist ling a lively tune, the professional wor&*hunter left and made room for the first bootblack with a clean face we ever recollect to have seen. “Please, sir, won’t you let me put that coal in 7” “Think you can manage it 7” “Oh I yes, sir and he went at it, and in less than half an hour the job was done. “Well, sonny, how much do you wont 7” “’T ought to be worth ’bout fifteen cents, I reckon ” “Here’s a quaitcr ; take it and pen severe. You may be President of a bank or railroad company some day ; then you’ll know what to do next With out our telling you ” —Free Prcas Eas ton, Pa. A Green Countryman. Years ago, into a wholesale grocery store in Boston walked a tall, muscular looking, raw-boned man, evidently a fresh comer from some back town in Maine or New Hampshire. Accosting the first person he met, who happen** ed to be the merchant himself, he ask ed : “You don't want to hire a man in your store, do you ?" “Well, said the merohant, I don't know ; what can you do 7” “Dof’ said the man, “l rather guess I can turn my hand to almost anything. What do you want done ?" ♦‘Well, if I was to hire a man, it would be one that could lift well—a strong, wiry fellow; one, for instance, that could shoulder a sack of coffee like that yonder, and carry it across the store and never lay it down." “There, now, captain," said our countryman, “that’s just me, What wiil you give a man that can suit you ?” “I tell you," sa ; d the merchant, “if you will shoulder that sack of coffee, and carry it across the store twice and never lay it down, I will hire you for a year at $l,OO per month." “Done,” said the stranger; and by this time every clerk in the store had gathered around and were waiting to join the laugh against the man, who. walking to the sack, threw it across his shoulder with perfect ease, as it was not extremely heavy, and walking with it twice across the store, went quietly to a large hook which was fas tened to the wall, and hanging the &ack upon it, turned to the merchant and said: “There, now; it may hang there till Doomsday; I shan’t never lay it down. What shall Igo about, mister ? Just give me plenty to do and 8100 a month, and it’s all right.” The clerks broke into a laugh, but it was out of the other side of their mouths ; aod the merchant, discomfited, yet satisfied, kept to his agreement, aud to-day the green countryman is the sen ior partner in the firm and worth half a million dollars. Quick wit, good sense, and a willing ness to work were the foundation of this man’s success. One cause which prevents half our young men from “rising in life" is r disinclination to work. They arc afraid of doing themselves that which was appointed for another to do, and 60 •'fight shy" of their own and the inter ests of their employer. To succeed, one must make it his duty to do all, he can for the good of the concorn in which he is employed ; eyo service will surely be detected, as real service will as surely be discovered, apprecia ted, and rewarded. Young men, it you would he promoted, make yourselves worthy of it by honest service Job Printing neatly acd cheaply executed at this offite.
