j$Y D. B. FREEMAN. Iconic Triumph* of Poor Mon. It is not a little remarkable that most of the mighty works ot the world have been accomplished by poor men, but men so thoroughly absorbed in their labor as to ultimately exercise the most widespread influence. David Living stone, for instance, and Smith the As syrian explorer, have recently shown that it is not wea'th which makes a man famous. Livingstone, who opened up the interior of Africa, and w nose mem ory is so fresh that it need not be dila ted upon, was a factory boy. Sir Wil* flam Herschcl, who made so many dis coveries in astronomy, actually went to England when a youth from Germany as a street musician. It urns a great stfifp when he became organist to the Octagon Chapel at Bath. Unable to buy a tel cope, he made one, and while in these humble circumstances discov ered anew planet, then called the Gcorgium Sidus. From that moment he became famous ; but it is certain that it was not the hope of public ap plause that sustained him previously, but pure love of science. Jenner, again, the inventor of vaccination, which is being so carefully enforced in London, worked for twenty years in the obscurity of a country village be fore his theory was accepted, and in ad dition was bitterly satirised and scorn ed. Sir Humphrey Davy was an apoth ecary’s apprentice, and at first worked nt his ideas with no better materials than such smell pots and bottles as he could find in the kitchen. There is a whole muster roll of celebrated names in science of men poor in their youth, whose disinterested labors, pursued un* der every difficulty, have afterwards yielded benefits to the world at large.— The steam engino itself was brought into practical use by James Watt, who had to earn his daily broad by making mathematical instruments, and repairing fiddles, and indeed seems to have been glad to get almost any employment. Advice of an Old Lady. “Now, John, listen to me, for I am older than you, or I couldn’t bo your mother. Never do you marry a young woman, John, before you have con trived to happen at the house where she lives at least four or five limes be fore breakfast. You should know how late she lies in bed in the morning.— You should take notes whether her complexion is the same in the morning as it is in t4io evening, or whether the wash and towd have robbed her of her evening bloom. -You should take care to surprise her, so that you can see her in her morning dress, and observe how her hair looks when she is not expect ing you. If possible, you should be where you can hear Lite morning con versation between her and her mother. If she is ill-natured and snappish to her mother, so she will be to you, dez nend upon it. But if you find her up and dressed neatly io the morning, with the same countenance, the same smiles, the same neatly-combed hair, the same ready and pleasant answers to her mother which characterized her deport ment in the evening, and particularly if she is Jeuding a hand to get the break fast ready in good season, she is a prize, John, and the sooner you secure her to yourself the hotter.” An Astonished Dutchman. A Dutchman in the Pennsylvania oil regions let his lands to an oil company last spring on condition of receiving one*eigh:h of the oil procured. The well proved to be a pretty good one, and the inner b°gan to think the oil men should give nim a better chance, and ventured to tell them so. They asked him what he wanted. He said they ought to give him one-twelfth. — The arrangement was finally made, with the understanding that the Dutchman was not to tell anyone. All went smoothly until the division day came, when our friend was early at hand to see how much better he would be off u..a.. *he new bargain. Eleven bar rels were rolled iu edde f or the oil men and one for him. “flow s omu ?” said he. “I think I was to get more as before. \ T ou have made some mistake.” The matter was explained to him that ho formerly got one barrel out of every eight, but it was his proposition to take one out of every twelve. This revela tion took him aback. He scratched his head, looked cross and relieved his swelling breast ot feelings of sell-re® pn ach by indignantly remarking : '‘Well, dat ish the first time as ever 1 knowed eight was more as dwelve.” — Jltncrs’ Journal. Daniel Webster is credited with having said : “If I had as many sons as old Priam, I would have them all learn a trade, so they would have some thing to fall back on in case they failed in speculations.” A Philadelphia pa<- per moralizes thus sensibly thereon : “The number of young men who are brought tip to no useful trade or call ing, is on the increase. The effect of this is seen in political life, where thou sands of men are begging, as at present in Washington, for “position” with a vague idea that their untrained powers and ignorance can find shelter in some cosy nook where they may at least draw their pay. Being practically of no earthly use to themselves or any one else, they only hupe to find some place where they can continue to exist with out benefitting any one. A destitute youug man, without a trade, and who is not qualified by practice to fill any position, is in a condition to become a tramp, and the chances are that he will become one, or fare even worse bv bc coming a criminal. CoUjoim ‘ (Times. White House Whitewash. The following recipo, which is fre quently inquired after, is given for the famous whitewash with which the Pres idential mansion is adorned : Take dnsNhalf bushel of nice un slacked lime, slack it with boiling wa* ter ; cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer and add to it a peck of salt, previously dissolved in warm water ; three pounds of ground lice boiled to a thin paste ; one half pound of Spanish whiting, and one pound of clean glue which has been previously dissolved by soaking it well, and then hang it over a slow fi”e in a kettle within a larger one filled with water Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few days covered from dust. It should be put on hot, and for this pur pose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable furnace. About a pint of th'n mixture will cover a yard upon the outside of a house, if properly applied. Fine or coarse brushes may be used ac cording to the neatness of the job re quired. It answers as well as oil paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheap er. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of ihe kind that will compare with it, either lor inside or outside work. Coloring mat ter may be added of any shado desira ble except green, for which there is no material that can bo used with lime.— Spanish brown wil! make reddish piok when stirred in, more or less deep ac cording to quantity. A delicate tinge of tlys is very pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color ; yellow ochre stir red in maxes a yellowish wash, but chrome goes further, and makes a color generally esteemed preUier. It is best to trv exoeiiments on a shingle anu let w x. O it dry. Up Ihe Bosporus. Drilling cautiously down the mouth of the Goiden Horn, picking ou” wav among (he shipping that is anchored in mid stream, we turn away from the point of the Seraglio, head due North, and find ourselves entering a river.— This is the Bosporus ; it might be the Hudson, or any other winding stream that een walls and is lovely to look upon. Just think of it for a mo ment. On our right ttie Eastern shore is Asia; on our Jetlj to the West, is Europe; at our back is the Sea of Marmora, and in two hours we shall have come to the Black Sea. The channel turns so abruptly at times that seven land-locked lakes are formed, each more charming than the last. — Enlaces, villas, villages line the del c ious shores ; the hills brood over the waters like hanging gardens of delight. I believe that the remarkable beauty of the Bosporus is posiiive’y unequalled in the world, for nature has made here a bed for art to dream in. Behold two continents, face to face, like rival queens, glassing themselves between two classic seas. We are cruising be tween the Ponlus and the Propontis, the Euxine and the Marmora. We swing from shore to shore ; pause a few moments at each landing; exchange passengers, and have ever about us a landscape that is renewed at every turn, and a surprise that is as fresh when we steam up the Golden Horn at sun set as at the hour when we came out of it with our hearts full of expecla* tion.— Cor. of tlic San Francisco Chronicle. The Colorado Central Narrow-Gauge Railroad runs through Clear Creek can on. The granite cliffs descend a thou sand feet to the river, without any bauk. The railroad is channeled from the hillside. Tire twistings and turn, ings of the canon are interminable and innumerable. In graceful curves or in bold, rounded sweep the stream and the railroad pursue their parallel course— the iaiii'.'uii uoUcn crossing the river. The grade is about 150 feci mile, and the dash of the water is a sight to see. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says : “The trip was so exciting that we grasped our seats ami hardly talked. Two ol the party rode on tho cow-catcher. They reported it the grandest rida of their lives. The granite cliffs were as won derful, and even more so, than the riv er. Of gray and red granite, streaked with all hues by the action of the scarcely concealed ores, with their for mations exposed as if cut across by the knife of giants—seamed, twisted, gnarl ed —presenting sometimes smooth and at others the most grotesque faces, they were a constant study. What kept millions cf loose stone from dropping upon the track no one conld understand. They looked like demons with their heads downward, ready to pounce upon us.” An Old-Fashioned Fourth. — “Oh, I’ll have a blazing time on the fourth !” yelled a boy from the City Hall steps yesterday, at another in the yard. “Going to shoot off your mouth /’ sneered the other. “No, I hain’t going to she-oot off my mouth, but I’ve got a fire-crackei as big as your leg, two hundred torpedoes, six old muskegs and a sky-rocket. Mam sold the stove biler yesterday for lem ons and sugar, dad is around trying to pick up gooseberries for a pie, we’ve got the dead thing on a yearling chick, en, and ii you want to see the Goddess of Liber : y turn hand-springs over the clothes-line you come around and look through the alley fence.” MIStELLi XEOUS. A Washington thief stole a cook stove He shouldn’t have done it, for now he will have to steal something to cook. A cold in the head is not conducive to personal comfort, but mothers should reflect that the boy who keeps his ups per lip clean with his shirt-sleeve may yet become President of the United States. A gentleman in England committed suicide because his wife was “ a great deal too good for him.” If men were so sensitive in this country the male population would soon be a “corner” in grave yards. By the way, there gener ally is a corner in such places. If you think you are too tall, marry an extravagant woman, and you will soon find yourself short enough. Maximillian has been dead ten years. Chicago Journal. Pooh ! that’s nothing. Adam has been dead about six thousand years. Somebody claims to have found the tomb of Eve. Probably a piece of marble with “Mrs. Adam” inscribed on it has led to this. After a boy is tired out hoeing pota toes, nothing seems to rest him moro than to dig over a few square rods of greenswrrd in search of bait. An exchange says ; “A baby at the baby show at Wheeling, seven months old, could talk, walk and eat peanuts.” And yefc, if it could neither cuss nor chew tobacco, what, did its other accom plishments amount to ? Some men can never take a joke. There was an old doctor who, when asked what was good for mosquitoes, wrote back: Ilow do you suppose I can tell unless I know what ails the mosqui to. An Irishman who had just landed said : “The first bit of mate I ever ate in this count r y was a roasted potato boiled yesterday ; and if you don’t be° lievc- me, I c: n show it to ye, for I have it. in my pocket.” With a clear sky, a bright sun, and a.gent'e breeze, you can have friends in plenty ; but let Fortune frown and tbm fi-mament he overcast, and then your friends will prove like the strings of a lute, of which you will tighten be fore you will find one that will bear the stretch and keep the pitch. “Save the babies,” advises a co tem porary. Yes, save ’em. No matter if they do squeak all night and murder sleep, don’t throw them out of a thi and story window. Save ’em ; they will de velop info base-ball players, horse jock, oys, politicians, women’s rights speak ers, wives, mothers, husbands and fath** e”s. The world could hardly get along without such “institutions,” so the ba bies had better be sived. Aecusiom yourself to think vigorous ly. Ment-d capital, like pecuniary, io be worth anything, must be well in vested —must be rightly adjusted and applied, and to this end careful, deep and intense thought is necessary if great results arc looked for. There is no such thing as standing stiU iu this world. Change is the eternal law of nature. It was “court week” at a country tavern, and a late comer was given one of a dozen cots, which had been put up temporarily in the parlor. There was a grand chorus of snores from the oth er cots. After an hour or more of this uproar, one of the most resonant sno rers brought up with a snort, and was suddenly silent. A Frenchman, who occupied a cot in the extreme corner of the room, exclaimed : “Tank God, you ces dead !” Wise Maxims. —Mr. John M.:Don oncrh, the New Orleans millionaire, has engraven u u; 0 -rmb r seri p3 iws, which be had prescribed as the rules for his guidance through life, and to which his success was mainly attrib*’ utabie: “Remember always that labor is oue of the conditions ni our existence. Time is gold; throw not one minute away, but place each one to account. Do unto all men as you would be done by. Never Cjvet what is not your own. — Never think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. Never give out that whi h does not fi: st cow n - Never spend but to produce.

Deprive you; self of nothing necessary to your com fort, but liye in an honorable simplicity 1 and f.ugaliiy. Labor, then, to the last moment of your existence. Starting in the World. —Many an uowise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life foi the purpose of leaving enough to give his children a start in the world, as it is called. Set ting a young man afloat with money left him by his relatives is like tying blad - ders under the arms of one who cannot swim ; ten chances to one he will lose his bladders and go to the bottom.— Teach him to swim, and he will never need the bladders. Give your child a sound education, and you have done enough for him. t>eo to it that his morn's are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made subservient to laws wnich govern man.and you have <>iven what will be of more value than the wealth of the ladles. CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 25.1877. Mi*. Wimple Ag recs to let His f Boy go to the Cireos. “Pa,” said Mr. Wimple’s boy the other day, pretending to hunt behiud the counter for his ball, while in real ity he was stowing his pocket? full of peanuts, “Pa, mayn’t I go to the cir cus, when it comes ? Say, pa, mayn’t I?” “Well, uij son,” said the parent, with his usual pomposity of manner and ut* terance, “if you are a duteons boy, and persecute your studies sealotly, 1 will consider the matter favoritely.” As the young scamp sidled out of the back door to hide the bulge ia his northerly pantaloons’ pockets, Mr. Wimple turned to a little grwjp of ad miring customers and explained his sen** limeuts ; “Yes, I’ll let ’im go, I guess. Boys need a little relaxity once in a while, and besides he’ll be cultu-atip’ his mind there as well as at school.
