YES OR NO.
I did not love him. Long ago
Instead of Yes I gave him No ;
I did not love him ; but to-day
I read his marriage notice. Pray
Why was I sad when never yet
Has my heart known the least regret
Over (bat whispered No ? and why
Reading the notice, did I sigh ?
No analist can guess the cause—
A woman's reason laughs at laws.
Sure, l am glad (n know the Wohni
I gave is healed ; that he has found
Love’s blessedness and peace; and yet
A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved her; and
To-day I seem to see him stand
With every glance a mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed-for Yes.
His early love for me is dead—
Another lives in that love’s stead ;
And if he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen one why then.
Ho must be glad that long ago,
Instead of Yes I gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why
I read the notico with a sigh.

The Jew.
The Jew still walks the earth, and
bears the stamp of hie race upon his
forehead. He is still the same being
as when he first Wandered forth from
the hills of Judea. If his name is as
sociated with avarice and extortion, and
spoken in bi terness and scorn, yet, in
the morning of history, it gathers round
it recollections sacred and holy.
The Jew is a miracle among the na
tions. A wanderer in all lands, he has
been a witness of the great events of
history fer more thau eighteen hun
dred years. lie saw classic Greece
when crowned with intellectual tri
umps. He lingered among that broken
but beautiful architecture that rises
like a tombstone over the grave of her
departed splendor.
The Jew saw Rome, the “mighty
heart” of nations, sending its own
ceaseless life’s throb through all the ar
teries of its vast empire. He too, has
seen that heart oold and still in death.
These have porished, yet the Jew Jives
on—the same silont, mysterious, indc*
structible being. The shadow of the
Grcscent rests on Palestine, the signet
of a conquerors faith —at ill the Jew
and his religion survive. He wanders
a captive in the streets of his own once
queenly Jerusalem, to meditate sad and
gloomily on tho relics of ancient power.
Abovo him shines the clear sky, fair as
when it. looked down on the towers of
Zion ; but now, alas! beholds only a
desolate city and an unhappy land.—
Tho world is his home. The literature
of the ancient Hebrew triumps over all
creeds, and sohools, aDd sects. Man
kind worship in the second songs of
David, and bow to the divine teachings
of Jesus of Nazareth, who also was a
son of Abraham. Such is the Jew.—
His ancient dreams of empire are gone
llow seldom do we realize, as we see
him in our city streets, that ho is the
creature of such a strange, peculiar
destiny. Neither age, nor country, nor
climate, have changed him. Such is the
Jew, a strange and solitary being, and
such the drama of hii long aud mourn
ful history.
The Grandpa*
Tho grandpa iz an individual, aged
somewhat between fifty and one hun
dred years, and iz a common occurrence
in most well regulated families.
Next to a healthy mother-in-law,
they have more on hand thau euny oth
er party in the household.
They are the standard authority on
all leading topicks, and what they don’t
knew about things that happened six
ty-five years ago, or what will happen
for the next three years to come, iz a
damage for everybody to kno.
Grandpas are not entirely useless ;
they aie handy to hold babies, and feed
pigs, and are very smart at mending
broken handles or putting up the
clothes line on wash days.
I have seen grandpas that churn good
but I konsider it a mighty mean trick
to set an old man over eighty years to
churning butter.
I am willing to rock the baby while
wimmen folks are biling soap ; I am
reddy to kut rags to work into iag. car
pets ; they kan keep me hunting hen’s
eggs, or picking green currants; or I
will even dip kandles or core apples for
sass, but I won’t churn.
I havo examined myself on the sub*,
ject, and will bet a sixpence Josh Bil
lings won’t churn.
Grandpas are poor help at bringi g
up ohildren ; they are full of precept
and katekism, but the young ones all
seem to understand that grandpa minds
them a heap more thau they mind
grandpa.— Josh Billings.

Chinese Maxims
It is the rich who wants most
things.
Towers arc measured by the shad
ows, and great men by these who are
envious of them.
We must do quickly what there is
no hurry for, to be able to do slowly
what demands haste.
Ho who wishes to secure good of oth
ers, has already secured his own.
The court is like the sea—everything
defends upon the wind.
What pleasure it is to give. There
would be no rich people if they were ca
pable of feeling this.
The rich fied relations in the most
remote foreign countries; the poor
not even in the bosom of their own
families.
Who is the greatest liar? He who
speaks most of himself.
When a song give much fame, virtue
gives very little.
For him who does everything in
its proper time, one day is worth three.
The way to glory is through the pal
ace ; to fortune through the market; to
virtue through the desert.
The truths that we least wish to hear
are those which it is most to our ad*
vantage to know.
Don't
Don’t sit on the fence and whittle
the hours away while you pass through
life. Shavings bring but little profit
hero and probably will not be needed
to light the fire where you go to.
Don’t cavort and turn a back souier?
sault because your industrious chickens
scratch up your squashes. They have
as much rights to the bugs as you to
the squashes.
Don’t leavo your gates open and
theu blame your pigs for rooting in the
garden. They have a perfect right to
go through where they ean, and to root
is their nature.
Don’t loaf your time away and ex
pect the grass to quit growing while
you are loafing. Grass don’t like loaf
ers well enough for that.
Don’t expect your plants to thrive if
you starve them to death. Plants thatT
are not fed will not feed you.
Don’t starve and rob the land you
live on, if you do in the long run it
will show its appreciation by starving
you.
Don’t expect water to run up hjl) tc
get out of your lands after you have
filled the'ditches with rubbish. Water
is lazy and would rather stay anywhere
than climb a hill.
A Fine Distinction.
A young man whose attire was clean
and neat, and whose appearance was
rather prepossessing, stood before the
bar of the Jefferson Market Police
court yesterday morning. By his side
stood a young man ot about the same
age, with a coa! black face and wooly
hair, and who was dressed in all the
gorgeousness of a “swell,”
“What’s your name, whitt> man ?”
asked the court.
“McFinnigan, sir.”
“And yours, my man aDd broth
er ?”
“Gawge Washn’ton Jones, sah ”
“What was the matter, George Wash
ington ?”
“Sah, I’ll tell yo’ de truf, sah. I
was a goiu’ up de street, sah, las’ night,
when 1 met this man an’ I kine’ of
jostled agio ’im. sah, an’ be turn’ right
roun’, sah, an’ fetch me a clip on de
nosq, sah, den I calls an’ offsa’ an’ had
dat man arrested, an’ dats all de troot,
foa’ God, sah.”
“How was it, McFinnigan ?”
“Shure, yer Oner, an’ it was all the
nayger’s fault, sor. I was a cornin’
down the av’nie quiet ns a lam’, sor,
sayiu’ nothing to nobody, whin that
spalpeen came forninst me, sur, wid his
elbie, an’ I up and hit ’iux upon the
spur av the momint”
“No, sah, he hit me on de nose,
sah !”
“On the spur av the momint’’
“On de nose, sah.”
“Never mind fine distinctions,” said
his Honor, “it costs a man $lO in this
court to hit a man, whether it be upon
the spur of the moment or upon the
nose. George Washington you are dis
charged.”—W. Y. World.
How to Tca.fcjft Tying.
“Did you see that old man, out
there? He carries off bad children that
cry. Didn’t you see that basket he
carries children off in ? When a boy
cries, a bird whistles, and he comes
and takes him right off. I saw him
take a boy off the other day. He cried,
and he came and took him m his bas
ket, and away he went. Now, if you
cry any more, I will whistle for him,
and he will come right after you.”
This is just whA t heard a lady say
to a little boy four years old.
The old man to whom she referred
was a poor old.negro, who had lost his
feet, and was walking along the streets
on his knees.
When the man came creeping along,
he became frightened and ran into the
house. And this lady, taking advan
tage of his fears, told him all this to
try and make him a better boy. I pit
tied the little fellow but I pittied the
lady more. No doubt she will be great
ly shocked when he begins to lie in ear
nest, when she can put no dependence
in his word. Should this ever te the
case, she may blame herself for it, for
she set him the example.
Children expect the truth, and if
they find themselves deceived, it not
only shakes their confidence in others
but they being very apt scholars will
soon learn to lie and deceive too.
God loves truth, and we should nev<-
er, under any circumstances, tell an un*
truth. The Apostle Paul says We must
be “gitt about with truth,” It is an
important part of a Christian’s ar
mor.
Good Taste in Our Homes.
In an article, with the above title, in
Scribner’s Magazine, Dr. Holland writes
as follows :
The mistake of this era in the histo
ry of “household art and home decora*
tions,” lies, it seems to us, in the at
tempt to do much with furnirure. Rud
kin, in one of his books, distinguishes
between building and architecture. —
There are certain structures in which
architecture should never be attempt
ed. A grain elevator, a storehouse, a
barn—these are bui’dings, and archi
tecture is out of place in them. There
is no more reason why they should be
beautiful than there is why a meal sack
should be beautiful, or a coal cart. So
it seems to us that there may be and
that there are certain items of furni
ture which we may legitimately excuse
from the duty of picturesquences If
our carpets are less beautiful than rugs
upon bare floors, If furnaces are less
interesting than open fires, if the old
fashioned wash-bowl and pitcher are
more picturesque than the plumber’s
substitute, what of it? In which di
rection shall we make our sacrifices ?
Toward comfort and convenience, ot tc
ward the picturesqueness of ruder times
and smaller means ? We advocate
comfort aud convenience, and leave oth
ers to do as they choose. The modern
advocacy of beauty, in connection with
all articles of furniture and household
convenience, reminds one of the child
who insists upon making play of every
thing—who cannot take a mouthful of
food or do an act of service without
making it in some way a source of
amusement.
To come to the practical point, a
home may be interesting without being
more than moderately beautiful, and
may be more than moderately beautiful
wi'hout being interesting at all. If we
rely entirely upon furniture for the in
terest of a house—if we made farni..
ture picturesque at the price of com.*
fort and convenience, our homes may
be made interesting in a moderate way,
provided we follow out our individual
ideas ami do not fall back upon the
conventionalisms of the manufacturers.
But the most interesting things in a
house should never bs its furniture.—
Given convenient furuituie that shall
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 7. 1877.
be picturesque whera convenient, the
question whether a borne shall be great
ly interesting relates mainly to other
things—to books, pictures, objects of
art, bric.*a.*brac and treasures of vari
ous sorts, in fact or in association. We
can point to homes whose furniture at
tracts no attention whatever, but which
are absorbingly interesting -through the
artistic products of its members. The
more the culture and taste of cultured
and tasteful people ure expressed in
their homes, through various modes and
forms of art, the more interesting those
horn s will be; and the more a guest
is compelled to forget furniture, except
as it answers to the highest harmonies
of the house, the better. The best
things of an interesting home are nev„
er bought of a furniture dealer, though
the most beaut ful may be.
True Heroism.
The following anecdote, extracted
from unpublished memoirs of a French
noble-man, may, it is hoped, serve as
an example well worthy being imitated
by all who desire to be thought truly
brave and courageous. It records an
instance of a victory gained by a man
over his own passions—victory more
glorious, more honorable than any that
has ever been purchased with fire and
sword, with devastation and bloodshed.
The nobleman, the Marquis de Valaisc
and the Count de Meric, were educated
under the same masters, and were re*
garded by all who knew them as pat
terns of friendship, honor and sensi
bility. Years succeeded years, anti no
quarrel had ever disgraced their at
tachment, when, one unfortunate even*-
ing, the two friends having indulged
rather freely in some excellent Bur
gundy, repairing to a neighborhood ho
tel and engaged in a game ot backgam
mon. Fortune declared herself in fa
vor of the Marquis; ho won every
game, and in *he thoughtless glee of
the moment laughed with exultation at
his unusual good luck. The Count
lost his temper, and once or twice up
braided the Marquis for enjoying the
pain which ho had excited in tho bo
som of his friend. At last, upon an
other unfortunate throw made by the
Marquis, by which he gammoned his
antagonist, the infuriated Count threw
the box and dice in the face of his
brother soldier.
Every gentleman present was in
amazement, and waited almost breath
lessly for tho moment when the Mar
quis should sheathe his sword in the
bosom of the now repentant Count.
Gentlemen, said the Marquis, I am a
Frenchman, soldier and friend. I re
ceived a blow from a Frenchman, a
soldier and a friend. I know and ac
knowledge the laws of honor, and I
will obey them. Every man who sees
me wonders why I am tardy in visiting
with vengeance the author of my dis
grace. But, gentlemen, the heart of
that man is entwined with my own ;
our education was the same, our prin
ciples are alike, and our friendship
dates from our earliest years. But,
Frenchman, I will obey the laws of
honor and France ; I will stab him to
the heart.
Upon this he threw his arms around
his unhappy friend and said ; My dear
de Meric, I forgive you, if you will for
give me for the irritation. I have oc
casioned in a sensitive mind by levity
of my own. And now gentlemen, add
ed the Marquis, though I have intern
nreted the laws of honor in my own
way, if there remains in this room one
Frenchman who dares to doubt my res
olution to resent even an improper
smile, my sword is by my side to pun*
ish an affront, but not to murder my
friend, for whom I would die, and who
sirs there a monument of contrition and
bravery, ready for me to challenge the
rest of the room to deadly combat if
any man dare to think amiss of this
transaction.

A Dog that Didn’t Five in Vain.
A well known Memphis coal-dealer,
not long since, had a big dog of won
derful sagacity. lie (the dog) stayed
around the coal yard, and whenever a
coal cu t was hauled on the scales the
dog always took a stand uudei tbs wag
on like a coach-dog. He weighed
nearly one hundred pounds, and was
weighed as coal thousands of times, and
nearly every coal-consumer in the city
purchased that dog at so much per bar
rel. The practice went on for amnth,
and was only discovered by a funny ac
cident. A negre wanted a barrel of
coal, and wheeled a handteart with coal
on the weighing'seales. The clerk in
the office worked at the scales, and hal
loed through the window,' “Take cut a
lot of that coal !’’
The negro did so, and kept on until
all the coal was out of the cart. The
clerk took the scales aga,n, but the pea
iudicated too much.
“Take out more coal !” shouted the
clerk ; ‘ d—n’it, you have a boat-load
of coal on that cart !”
“Look hyar, boss,” replied the ne<
gro, “the coal is all out, and I’ll have
to take the wheels off the carl if you
want to lighten it.”
Then the negro looked under the
cart, and seeing the big, fat dog at his
post, exclaimed :
“Lord Gud, massa, you’se selling me
that dog for coal
The dog was missed in a few days,
and was found dead on the scales, the
animal having taken some poison ac
cidentally, but Ife came back to die at
his post.
It was a fiue example of “faithful un
to death.”
A Condemned Murderer’s Dream
An hour before the sun went down
the iail was very quiet. It is always so
when the shadow of death holds the
i keys. Belcher paced up and down, hi*
i face haggard and worn, and
wearing such a look as on& nqver sees
outside of prison walls. Out in the
courtyard men were at work, not at the
gallows, but at some repairs. Helcber
be'ieved that the gallows from which
he wa9 to swing was being created, and
his heart must have stood still as he
heard the hammer and saw at work.—
Leaning against the wall, his eyes look
ing into the vacancy the murderer spA*
fered al* the pain that a real execudon
would inflict. Some of the prisoners
were watching him. They saw him
holdout his hands for the Sheriff to
remove the irons. They saw him kneel
in prayer. They saw him arise and
look around as if following the officials
to the gallows. He looked up as ii
surveying the swaying noose and a
shudder passed over him. The prison
ers could read his thoughts as plainly
as if he had written them down. In
imagination he mounted the gallows.—
He looked at the noose agniu and sud
denly jerked his head aside, as if the
rope had touched him. He bent his
head as if to have it passed over and
tightened about his neck. When he
stood as if waiting for the trap to
spring, his face no longer pale, it was
so livid and distorted that almost every
line of humanity was crushed out of
sight. The trap fell and with an aw
| ful gasp, a shout and a scream of ngoa
ny, Belcher fell to the floor, his tongue
protruding, his eyes open and glassy,
and a froth oozing from his mouth. It
was a quarter of an hour before he
was fully resuscitated and his first words
were :
“Oh, God ! but how the rope cuts
into my neck ?”
It was another fifteen minutes before
the man could be convinced that his
execution was imaginary. He had suf
fered all that a hangman’s victim suf
fers, and in a piteous tone cried out,
while tears run dawn his face :
“Don’t hang me again ! Oh !my
throat is so sore !”
Ho had on a woolen shirt fitting
loosely around the neck. They unbut
toned the collar, turned it down, and
there was a bright red mark around the
throat.
Facts are only stated here, the meu
may theorize as they feel inclined. The
mark did not die away for thirty hours,
and the murderer complained of swol
len tonsils and sore throat. His re
prieve came only after he had been
hanged, and yet it saved his life.
The Sister.
No household is complete without a
sister. She gives the finish to the fam
ily, A sister’s influence —what can be
more hallowed ? A sister’s watchful
care —cart anything be more tender ?
A sister’s kindness —does the world
show us anything more pure? Who
would live without a sister? A sister
that is a sister in fidelity, in heart, in
love—is a sort of guardian angel in
the home circle. Her presence con
demns vice. She is the quickener of
good resolutions, the sunshine in the
pathway of homo. To every brother
she is light and life. Tier heart is the
treasury house of confidence. In her
he finds a fast friend, a charitable, for
giving. tender, companion. Her sym
pathy is as open as day, and sweet as
fragrance of flowers. We pity the
brother who has no sister, no sister’s
love. We feel sorry for the home which
is not enlivened by a sister’s presence.
A sister’s office is a noble and gentle
one. It is hers to persuade to virtue,
to win to wisdom’s ways ; gently to lead
where duty calls ; to guard the citadel
of home with the sleepless vigilance ot
virtue; to gather graces and strew
flowers around the home altar. To be
a sister is to hold a sweet place in the
heart ot home. It is to minister in a
holy office.
—
True Strength.— We must meas
ure n man’s strength by the power of
the feel in tis he subdues, not by the
power of those which subdue him.—•
And hence, composure is often the
highest result of strength. Did we
ever see a man receive a flagrant injury,
and then reply calmly ? That is a man
spiritually strong. Or did we ever see
a man in anguish, stand as if mastering
hitnself ? Or one bearing a hopeless
daily trial remain silent, and never tell
the world what, cankered his home
peace ? That is strength.
We too often mistake strong feelings
for strong character. A man who bears
all before him, before whose frown do
mestics trernbb, and whose bursts of
fury make the children of the house
hold quake, because he has his . way in
all things, We call him a strong man ;
it is his passions tlqit are strong —he
mastered by them, is weak.
