by D. B. FREEMAN. Bnrdette on the stump. Robert J. Rurdette, of the Barling, ton Hawkeye, burpt out of his sanctum on the 4th of July, and desolated a su° burban town with an oration, from which we quote: * “Why have we assembled here to day ? What means this vast concourse of people, these waving banners, these strains of soul-stirring music, this glit tering array of beauty, patriotism and intelligence ? As I face this immense multitude, 1 am impressed with one thought, that rushes upon my very soul and struggles in vain for utterance. It is the thought that I am not going to be able to make one-half these peo pie hear a word I say. It is not a grand thought. * I/ 1 1 /11 // r f It is not even a brilliant thought.— But it is true, and the truth is worth far more than brilliancy. And I will tell the truth every time I get an op portunity. It isn’t often that I get the chance. What with' trying to reconcile lice’s weather predictions and the President's policy, a man has to bo vig ilant, and lie awake nights and watch bis chances, in order to get an opportu* nity to tell a little truth, once a week, and yet, this has nothing to do with the Turkish war. Why, then, I repeat, why are wo as*-* scmbled here to-day ? To rejoica that we are a free people, endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness at long range To rejoice that the precious boon and heritage of freedom is ours, bequeathed us by the fathers who fought, bled and died, that I and mine aud you aud yours might breathe tho air of freedom. Aud we rejoice to-day, we are proud and happy and glad, glad, that our fath ers died for us instead of compelling us t) die for them. There were great, grand men. In fact, they were, many of them, groat grandfathers. It is sweet to die for one’s country. It seems to me-that I, too, would glad ly, oh how gladly, add my name to the list of the great and good, aod die for my country —of old age. I would die sooner if it was thought necessary, but I haven't got time. lam too busy.— But if any sacrifices are needed next Centennial, they may call on me, and I will either come or send a hand. Our fathers died for us. They died willingly and gladly. But if they could come back to-day and see what kind of a crowd they died for, quarelling over the President’s policy, wrangling over the currency and some of them trying to pay a dollar’s worth of debt with ninety cents worth of money, talking politics twenty-three hours a day and praying so seldom that our knees get rusty, drowned out by the rain, devour ed by grasshoppers, they would, if they had it to to do over again, live nine thousand years and only die then when they had to. And yet ours is a glorious country. A wonderful, magnificent country. It is marvellous. Asa high school girl would say, it is “nioe.” Look abroad over our land, turn the pages of histo* ry, and see what the mighty genius of progress has wrought. But one short century ago the corner stone of this mighty fabric was laid, amid the thunder of cannon and the rattle of musketry, canopied by the smoke of battle and cemented with blood. A iitt:o band of struggling, needy patriots, half clad, poorly fed, with only a few dollars in the national treasury. To-dav the sun of one hun dred and one years breaks upon the land— wherever it isn’t storming—and where do we stand ? A billion dollais in debt. Our fathers died, but they had no railroads. If they had, they might have died with less expense and trou ble before they got to the war. Our fathers never knew the ecstatic pleasure of leaning out of a car window and getting a red hot cinder as big as a pea in their eye before they could look at a tree. They had no telegraph, and rev* er knew what a convenience it was to pay forty cents to send a message fifty miles, and then have the dispatch come lagging a day or two after the man had died of old age. They had no kerosene lamps, and they never knew what it was to light a kitchen fire and take a balloon ascen" sion out of the same can. They had no United States signal service, and never had fortysfive rainy days in a month, with a tornado every wash day. Their wants were few and simple.— They didn’t need a great deal of weath er, and wbat they hid was regulated by the ground hog, and that reliable weather bureau never made a mis* take. These men have passed away. In their simple habits, their sterling hon esty, their grand patriotism, their un selfish devotion to principle, they pass* ed from life into eternal lame. The men of ’76 are gone. Ido not know where, but they have gone somewhere ; I do not see any of them here. If there are any present, they will please rise, for I am willing to be corrected when I am wrong. The 4th of July was invented by a man whose name is dear to all Aaieri can hearts—George W. Washington.— By an ingenious arrangement the 4th of July was so contrived by the inven tor that it would always fall on a rainy day. It has missed it only once in the past twelve hundred years, aod on that ouce it hailed all day. The 4th of Ju iy was not the only invention of this great and good man. He invented a name that will fit two thirds of tho boys of every generation in America. A grateful people never forget the fact, and Washington, when Cnlljmui ©inm at the zenith of his power, was nomina. ted by acclamation for the capital of the United States. Washington was once discovered praying at Vally Forge, and from the great stress laid upon the incident by aU historians, it is judged that is the only time anybody ever caught him praying. He was a brave, good man, but he dressed too much like a member of a base ball club to be elected President ia these days. Learn Your Business Thorough ly* A young man in a leather store used to feel very impatient with his employ er for keeping, him, year after year, for three years, “handling hides.” But hd saw the use of it in after years, wheu in an establishment of his own he was able to tell by a touch the exact quali ty of the goods. It was only by those thousands of repetitions that the lesson was learned, and so it is with evrything in which we acquire skill. The great army of the “ineatables” is large enough ; we should none of us willing ly join its ranks. The half-informed, half-skilled iu every business, outnum ber the others, dozens to one. It was a good suggestion, worthy of being re membered, which Daniel Webster made to a young man who asked him if there was auy “room in the legal profession.” “There is always room in the upper story,” said the great statesman. The better you know your busi ness, the better your chances to rise.— If you drone through your allotted tasks, without keeping a wide-awake lookout on all that goes on about you, your progress will be needlessly slow. You can gather much information bv making a wise use of your eyes and ears, and, perhaps, be able to surprise your employer in an emergency by step* ping into the “next man’s” place and discharging his duties satisfactorily. A fine little lad, some twelve years old, was employed in a telegraph office in a Southern town last year when the yellow fever raged so fearfully in that section. All the operators were down with it, and others sent on by the com pany were attacked, No one knew that the lad understood the business ; but he had “picked it up,” and now kept up communications between tho town and the outer world all the time the fe ver lasted. - Ex-Gov. Morgan was once a clerk in a storo in Waterlord. A trip to New York was an eveut in those days, but the young man had proved so faithful that he was allowed to make the jour/ ney, and was entrusted with several commissions, among them being one to buy corn. He came back in due time with mo in the old stage-coach, aud ih quiries were made about the corn. The price was very satisfactory, but the old gentleman was afraid it could not be good at so low a price. A handful which the young man pu'ltd from his pocket convinced him, but what was his amazement to find that he had bought two cargoes. ‘ Why, Edwin, what shall we do with it?” he asked in consternation. “I have disposed of of all you don’t want,” said Edwin, “at an advance. I stopped in stores as I came along. I could have disposed of three cargoes if I had had them.” The profits were clear, and his etn® ployer said the next morning, “We will let someone else do the sweeping,” and Edwin was made a partner though un der twenty-one. If you have a talent for business, it will bo found out. Patronize Your Neighbors. The growth of a neighborhood, vil lage or town is simply the aggregated improvement of its individual members. If every citizen would give the prefer* ence to the people of his own town in his outlay, quite an addition might be made to the number of successful men in each neighborhood. Patronize your own blacksmith, carriage maker, me chanic, storekeeper and printer. Help each other along, cultivate a pride in the progress and thrifty appearance of your town ; cast out that selfish jeal ousy m a neighbor’s prosperity. There is sufficient competition iu every call, ing to keep prices as low as can be af forded, and in nothing can the people exercise a more benign influence than in the encouragement of a brotherhood trade and patronage. It is the mutual interest of all to have the largest possible number of busy prosperous men in each community. A successful man soon shows his success in his surroundings ; he paints his housß, erects new fences, sets out shade frees, prepares a flower pot for his wife, improves his land and culture, every item of which change necessitates out lay of money and labor. These im o provements not only, benefit the fortu nate prejector, but add to the character and appearance of the whole village, at tract the attention and admiration of eveiy stranger who enters the place, in duce new families to move into town, and, best of all, stimulate the neigh-* borhood to a rivalry iu the same line of improving their surroundings. Let ev ery person determine, for the coming year, to patronize his neighbors, and watch the good effect on the whole com munity. Do not mix lime with the food for poultry. If you do, they will eat more of it than is for their good. Let them have access to it, and they will consume all they need. The same substance in the form of burned bones or shells is generally preferred. The matrimonial mine. The other night old Blinkus, seeing his son getting ready to go to a ball, proceeded to give him some wholesome advice on women. “Tom, my boy, he said, filling up his pipe, “I see you are getting your fan cy togs on for a ball. Now I don’t ob ject to balls, or any other kind of ra tional amusement ; but L want to give you a little advice, Tom; look out for the women you meet there. A man who goes round after women is a good deal like a prospector hunting for a mine You see a woman at a ball, and she’s all frizzled up and rigged out in silk, and powdered and painted wherevs er her skin shows itself. These surface croppings look pretty well, but if you locate on the strength of ’em you’ll get fooled every time. A woman of that, kind is just like a salted mine. Don’t you take any stock in her. She won’t wash. If you want to prospect such a location a little further, slide up and take an assay of her conversation. Ah, my boy ! Three per ccut. of intelli gence, twenty-five of fashionable eti quette, and the rest irivolity, conceit, ignorance and vanity, mixed up_ in about equal parts. Drop her - right away. Such rock won’t pay to mill.— If you got a patent for the claim you’d never see a dividend come out of it as long a3 you lived. The assessments to keep the upper works in repair and the lower levels from cavin’ in would land you in the poor-house on a lightning express, and some fine morning you’d wake up to find your claim relocated by somebody else. The old man shook the ashes out of his pipe aud continued : “Sometimes you’ll strike a plain girl in a common sort of of a dress. She won’t be good looking, maybe, and wou’t have any airs. The surface in dications won’t show much, but before you’ve prospected long you’re likelv to come to somo good indications that will pay to follow up. Rich stringers of conversational quav.z and spurs of in telligence showing up finely the deeper you go. Pietty soou you’ll strike a well-defined vein of so'id, prac deal sense. That’s the sort of a nrne to freeze to. Locate it as soon as possible, aud get out your patent papers, a,d you’ll have a regular bonanza to fal 1 back on lor (ho rest of your life. If you Ihiuk the good claims are all tak en up, y>m are badly fooled. This town is lull of ’em. I’m an old prospector, and I’ve traveled round a good deal.—-- If my time wasn’t taken up whh my own mine, I know wheie there are lots of prime locations only wailing for some practical miner to come aloug and develop. A woman’s heart, Tom, is a mighty curious-thing. Take it in all iti dips, spurs, angles, ramifications and siuuosities, and it’s more of a puzzle and a mystery than the whole Comstock lode. Some fellows try to work it, and by pure lucx strike it rich right off, in places where old. experienced prospect ors never s’posed there was any thing.— Gitting the title to the property ain’t the only thing; it’s keeping up the proper developments, and seeing that jumpers don’t get in aud encroach on your claim. Some of these domestio mines require an lawful lot of money for machinery, and some of ’em can be run on about nothing. Whenever you get one of ’em and find you can’t run it to advantage, the best thing to do is to throw up your job as superintendent and shut down the works.” Slow But Sure. The “sluw fighter” was a tall, raw boned specimen of the Dike county breed, and when he arrived in the mi ning camp the boys began to have fun with him—to “mill him,” as they call it in the parlance of the mines. He stood it for along time with per fect equanimity, until finally one of the party dared him out of doors to fight. He went. When they got all ready and squared off. Pike county stretched out his long neck and presented the tip of his big nose temptingly close to his tormentor : “I’m a little slow,” he said, “and can’t fight unless I’m well riled ; just paste me one —right on the end of that smeller !” His request was complied with. “That was a* good ’uu,” he said, calmly ; “but I don’t feel quite riled yit”—„ turning the side of his head to the adversary) —“pleacc chug me an other lively one under the ear !” The astonished adversary again com plied, whereupon Pike county, remark ing that he was “not quite as well riled as he would like to be, but would do the best he could,” sailed into the erowd, and for the next teu days the boys were engaged in mending bro ken jaws, aud repairing smashed noses. Evenings at Home. The long evenings, which follow the short days, are made, in some families, the happiest of all happy times. The cares of the day are ended ; the moth er’s resting time has come ; the father has dropped all sorts of business wor ries and perplexities, and the whole familv throw themselves with zest into the innocent pleasures of the home cir cle. Solomon tells us that there is time for all things; a time to weep, and a time to laugh, to play, and to dance. — Surely the time to laugh, to play, and co dance comes most appropriately in the long pleasant evening hours, when The cares that infest the day Fold up their tents like the Arabs, And silently steal away. It is well for the women of the house hold to remember that the pleasant uy: CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 18.1877. enings at home are strong antidotes to the practice of looking for enjoyment abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by and forbidden places; for relaxation and recreation will be indulged in some how by most men, and happy are they who find in the home circle the diver'* sion they need. A lively game, an in teresting book read aloud, or, in music* al families, anew song to be practiced, wi'l furnish pastime that will make an evening pass pleasantly. A little forethought during the day, a little pulling of wires that need not appear, will make the whole thing easy, and different ways and means may be provided for making the evening hours pass pleasantly, and a time to be look ed forward to with pleasant anticipa tions. We visited once in a large fam ily where it was the duty of each sis ter, in turn, to provide 4he evening’s occupation, and there was a pleasant ri valry between them as to whose evening should be the most enjoyable. The brothers entered ful’v into the spirit of the simple home entertainments, and wore as loth to be obliged to spend an evening away from home as their sis ters and pareuts were sorry to have them absent. Every one spoke of this family as an uncommonly united one. for each and every member showed such a strong attachment for the home to which each one contributed so much pleasuro. —— Boggs is a very sociable fellow, and he likes to talk with any person he hap pens to be traveling with. He made a trip up the Little Miami railroad, the other day, and found a seat alongside of a solemn-looking man who kept his gaze out of the window. Boggs tried to catch his eye so as to opou conversa tion with him, but he couldn’t do it; it’s hard to catch a mau’s eye traveling at the rate of thirty five miles an hour. Boggs offered the man his paper to re: and but he shook his head without looking around. Tho conductor came along and Boggs thought surely he must look around uow, but he didn’t. A man in front handed out two tickets, aud point ed silently to Boggs’ companion. Boggs began to grow uneasy. It was the longest time he had ever been a stran ger’s company without finding out something about him —where he was pointing fur, at least. The brakesman caine that way with some water, at length, and the man turned around to get some. Boggs immediately avail ed himself of the opportunity to say : “Going’s far east as New York ?” “No,” growled the man, as he re moved his tobacco preparatory to drink ing. Boggs waited until the stranger had quaffed a pretty little quaff, when he re marked : “New York is a dull placo at this time a year anyhow. Mebbe you’re striking for Philadelphia to sec wheth.- er the old town’s changed any since the Exposition ?” The surly man gave an impatient shake of the head. “P’r’aps Cleveland’s your destina tion ?” put in Boegs, not at all dis„ concerted. “No,” the man growled. “Can’t be you’re going this rounda bout way to Chicago ?” The stranger didn’t deign a reply of auy kind to this. Then Boggs raised up and twisted around a little, fronting the stranger, and said : “I s’pose you’ve no objection to tell ing where you’re going ?” “D n it,” cried the man, ll l’m going for seven years !” Then the Deputy Sheriff in front told Boggs that he’d rather not have folks talking to his prisoners, and Boggs had not aoything further to say. Elue Dispatch : Two bad boys in Erie fastened a package of fire.crack ers to a goat’s tail. Result: At the first sizziug of the fuse that William goat’s hind heels flew out and the boy that struck the match was telescoped and thrown into a dirty pond of water. Then, as the bang-bang of the Chinese powder-squibs commenced, that goat was se'zed with olephantine convulsions, and the way he cut up would have dis counted even Dan Rice’s noted trick mule. The goat bounced six feet up into the air, then came down like a keg of dynamite, demolishing a pah of pants and sent one of the hoys kiting over a picket-fence, aod was so sharp in his movements that none of the enemy es caped, and, having danced over the flat tened forms of the boys to his heart’s content, that goat cleared a six-board fence, chased a policeman, knocked over three corner loafers, sent a baby carri age flying into the gutter, killed two dogs, upset an old swill-man, scared a servant girl into hysterics, and finally ran into a book agent and became en-> tangled in his legs, and the two rolled, like two fighting dogs, over and over, until they fell through a coal-hole.
