Tin grain is bound, the nuts are brown On every wooded bill. The light is softened down And silvered no the rill.

A Story for the Coys. BY MAY EBON. 1 butsed Paul Weston, when he was a wee, laughingeyed baby. I saw him almost eveiv day until he was a man grown, and a brighter, handsomer boy you would not wish to see. He was honest, too. and upright; he was brave as a lion and tender as a woman. It seemed to me that every grand and no ble principle belonging to thf* human race were centered in him, but in his v'wn home there lurked an enemy more deadly than the coiled serpent or the deadly U as. Wine, luby, sparkling, amber wine, was an article of every day use in his father’s household. It was bueutil'ul to look upon and pleasant to the tasle, and Paul did not see the dead ly, terrible danger that lurked in its luddvglow. Accustomed to it from ch'ldhood, it scarce appeared an evil to he resisfed with all the strength of his moral nature, but rather as an article that would counteract the ills of life Thus educated, is it, any wonder that Paul fell a victim to a pernicious habit? He did not go down at once, however, as so many do. He had too much pride of charac‘er, too much strength of will, for that, and for long years he dallied with the tempter before it entirely overcame him ; but he went down at last, as sooner or later all will who look upon the wine when it is red, for in the cad it bitelh like an adder. Woe and ruin, flighted life, a dishonered grave, anu a Tost eternity are its bitter fiuits. Paul learn and a'l this as his life ad vanced, but the dread delusion that has dragged milieus of souls down to per dition possessed him, too. He thought he knew just how far to go , he thought he would drink in moderation. In “ moderation how many men has th t word hurled o . to deadly ruin ?” Oh, how I grieved as I saw my brave, noble friend slowly but surely working out his own undoing, and l as well as others remonstrated, but all in vain.— The spell of the sorcerer had been cast upon him, and he could not or would not bieak the awful charm Several offices of trust were bestowed upon hiui by the people, for he was a univer sal favorite. At first evcry‘hing went, well, but by and by discrepancies crept in. We all knew the cause ;we all pitied, and blamed, and loved Paul jus* the same. Put at leng'h the end came. There was an election, treat, a row. What can be more pitiable? more heartrend ing, more hideous than a drunken, infuriated mob ot men, where curses, blows, and blood are mingled, yet it was in such a one that Paul fell, with an ugly knife wound just above his heait. I stood b v his bedside and watched the slow ebbing B'vay of his life. I heard him speak in flattering tones of lost oppoilunities, squandered abilities, and a wa ted, ru ined, unspent life. I heard him tell of the horror of a great darkness that en<- Wiapped his mental vision, of the aw* ful dread of entering the world beyond, and with his dying breath I heard him curse the intoxicating draught, r.nd those who made and sold aud got gain from it, and after his life had fled 1 stood beside his rigid form, I laid my band upou his icy forehead, 1 gutted upon the shattered temple where once a grand and noble spirit dwelt. And in my heart I cursed the wine-cup’s luddy glow. In an untimely grave Ibey laid Paul Weston down, to sleep until the judgement day. How much °f his runisbiuent the parents who gave him his home training will have to bear I cannot say, but I wish to beg tbe boys and young men who read this to not tamper with the beverages that intoxicate, they hold their destiny in their own hands now. but there is a poin t beyond which they may !

There is no reason why the inventor of a remedy to “cure the worst case of calartb inside ol five niinutes”shouldnT feel it his duty to place a Dottle of the Bauie in every person’s hand—“price lwentv~fiyc cants ; no cure no pay.”— Therefore, the long-legged chap who pulled a door-bell on John It. street yesterday had none of that timidity in his bearing which characterizes rag-buy ers, lightning-rod men and solicitors for the fire sufferers. He had a good thing and he knew it, and he wanted other folks to know it. When the door open, ed and a hard-featured woman about forty years of age confronted him he pleasantly went to business and ask ed ; •Madam is your husband ever troubled with the catarrh ?” • Can a man who has been dead seven years be troubled with the cutarrh?”she grimly replied “Put the children are liab’e to be at tacked at any hour this season,” he re marked. ‘‘Who's children ?” “Yours, madam.,, “I never had any,sir ! What biought you here, anyway ? Why do you cotne asking these question ?” “Madam, I have compounded a rem edy for the catarrh It is a good thing I’ll warrant it to knock any case of cat arrh high-sky in less time than five min utes.” “Well, sir, what is all this to me ?” “Why,madam —why—” he stammer* ed. ‘‘Do I look as if I needed any catarrh remedies?” she demanded, as she step ped out on the platform. “Madam, I would not for the world have you think that 1 thought you had the catarrh, but I suppose tbe fair and lovely can be attacked as wed as the strong and brave ” “And what have I got to do with all that rigmarole ? Who are you, sir, and what do you want ?” “Madam,” he whispered, backing down one step, “I have compounded a remedy for the catarrh.” “Who’s catarfh, sir ?” “Madam. I am seeing my catarrh—” “Wheie is ycur catarrh—where is it she asked. He got down on the second step and softly began : ‘ Madam. I have a s ire cure for the —the catarrh, aud 1 am selling lot* of it.” “Well, what do I care! Must you ring my door bell to tell me that you are selling lots of catarrh medicine !” He got down on the walk,clear of the steps, and he tried hard to look beautifully around the mouth as he ex' plained : “Madam, didn’t l ask you if jour husband was ever troubled with the catarrh ?” ••Yet, sir, and didn’t I reply that he was dead ! Do you want to see his grave, sir?” “No madam, Ido not. I’m sorry he’s dead, but mv catarrh remedy can’t help him any. Good-bye, dear mad am.” “Here, sir, hold on a minute !” she called, “what was your business with me?” “Why, I have a remedy for the ca tarrh.” “So you sad before.” “I assed you if you didn’t want to purchase and— ” “You arc a falsifier, —you never ask ed me to purcha-e !” “Do—you—want —a —bottle ?” he slowly asked. “Yes, sir—give me two of them here’s your m <ney ! Next time you *ani to sell yoor catarrh-remedy don’t begin to talk around about the discovery of America by Columbus. Here you ve bothered me fifteen minutes aud put ail my woik behind, and it’s good for you that I didn’t bring the broom to the door!” He retreated backwards through the gate, his left-eye squinted up and his mouth open. He shut the gate, leaued over it and looked loug at tbe front door. By and by he said : “Darn ’em ! You can never tell where to find ’em !”— Detroit Free Frers. expanded. Hon. Henry 13 Payne, of Ohio, a member of t. e Flectoral CooiinUsion, in his great, speech last week at San dusky, after a pungent review of the whole transaction of the commission, cocluded as follows: This shameful decision (excuse me if 1 use plain language) stands recorded in the journals of Congress, and if per mitt'ed to stand there unchallenged and unreversed, it will form a most perilous precedent. The Presidency is a mag nificent prize. Why may not other states be tempted in the future to or ganize returning boards as corrupt and base as those in Florida aud Louisiana, and armed with this all powerlul cer tificate ? Republicans ask : “ For what pur pose do you agitate this question ? Do you propose to dispute or impeach the title of .Mr. Hayes?” I answer no.— He is doiug very well for a six months convert. He is endeavoring with the best intentions to execute the Demo cratic platform as Mr. Filden would have done. In some respects he is ac complishing result* sooner than Mr. Tilden eould have accomplished them, especially in the destroying of the Re publican* party 1 1 the Southern States it has vanished entirely,and we have already a solid South. Ihe thirty five votes gained by the abolition of slavery, thus far mainly controlled y aorpet-baggers and freedmen, have CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27.1877. snugly and happily turned over to the Democratic party. It was a bold step for “ President ” Hayes to take in the casting out of Packard and bis fellows. It was a ter* tible reflection on his own title. No, we acknowledge his title ; we propose to assist and co-operate in his efforts of reconciliation and reform, because it is the policy for which we as a party have been cunlending since the close of the war, cause it is the true policy for the country But in the meantime we intend to wage a ceaseless war against the decis ion ot the electoral commission until i*s power for evil is destroyed We have in history a an example for our guide and encouragement. I ref r to Clay’s condemnatory resolution of lt'33 charging with viola ting the (Joostitu.ion, in his official ac tion, relating to the removal of the de posits It was voted by a party vote, aud was felt by the party of the coun try as unjust and wicked. At once, Col. Benton set the bill of agitation in motion. The resolution was every wher denounced—and the excitement was kept up until 1837, when, the rna uiajority of the Senate having changed to the Democratic side, the resolution to expunge from the records was passed by a vote of 25 to 19 ; and the record being brought into the Senate, ‘he se* cretary proceeded in the open Senate to draw a square of broad black lines around the recorded resolution and. to write across its face in strong letters these words : “ expunged by order OF THE SENATE.” In like manner the Democracy on the stump, through in county, State and National convention, on every pos sible occasion, in season and out of sea son and out of season, propose to im peach, challenge and assail the decision of the Electoral Commission, as finally adopted by Cougress and entered upon its journals. There shall be no peace to*the wicked.We will agitate,and agitate until, in the fullness of time, now, thank God, not very distant, the Senate hav ing changed its majority and the two houses in Democratic accord, assuredly on the second Wednesday of February, ISSI, when assembled jn ioint conven tion to countin a Democratic President, the journals of '76 shall be produced, aud then and there the clerk shall pro ceed to draw a squsie of broad, black lines around the accursed record and to write across its face in l itters strong and indelible these words : “expunged BY ODDER OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.” Then, and not til! then, will the wound of the Constitution bb healed— this gaeat wrong shall be avenged— the purity and sovereignty of the elec tive frrnchise vindicated, and the safety and perpetuity of the republic assured. End of The Nez Forces War. Fort Benton, October 8, via Hel ena, October 10. —The capitulation of the en'ire hand of Nez Perces under Joseph occurred at two oclock in the afternoon of October 5. The savages gave up L'Teir gurs and ammunition, passing in review before Genera! Miles and accepting an unconditional surren - der. The troops at once occupied the Indians’ inirenchuitnts, and the first victo: v over the past two years was sigualized. Afl> r the Indian camp had been surrounded and the soldiers had secured themselves defensive posi tions. only four casualties occupied.— The soldiers closed in upon the savages slowlv but suielv after the first day, a!! the time extending their line of rifle pits It was the purpose of General Miles to lose no more men in the attack On the fou'.h day of the fight Joseph raised a while flag tor the third tome, and through an i.iteipveter offered to sur render, provided they were allowed to keep their guns General M ilessent wo: and thur lie must surrender without t ese ve and the battle was again renewed The white flag was displayed ag'in on the fifth and las day.when Joseph ap pealed in iront of his lines and advance ed to meet General Miles to whom he tendered his gun. lie was fallowed by sixty wart inis, who also turned over their arms, and shook hands with Gen eral Miles When ihe troops entered ‘he rifle pits foriy warriors were dis covered disabled by wounds. I hey were removed to the camp hospitals The number of Indians killed is not known as they have already bm ied their dead. General Miles left at noon on Sunday for Tongue river, taking his read and wounded and the suirendered band General Surgis did not at rive in time to take a hand in tbe fight, and the glorv of the vie ory rests with General Miles General Haward with an es cort of seventeen men, arrivd on the morning of the tui render II is presence there was not understood, and he made no aUeuipt to assume com* mand. * He left bis infantry at ihe Missouri liver and with his cavalry proceeded to the scene of the battle The intienchments ocau ied by the In dians consisted in c'( over one hundred and sixty rifle pits, which communical.- ed with each other so that assistance could he rendered if Decessary. The squaws fought by the side of the warri ors. took caie of the wounded and bu.. ried the dead. It was very muddy weather when President Hays visited lih id ; Island, and when he went away he carried aw y about three-fourths ol the State on his boots,and had to sit and >wn in Con .ectie cut and let his feet hang over the lind while th# despoiled inhabitants scrapes off their estates. The Islanders don’t want him to come back again THE END CROWNS ALL. The Power ©I Persuasion—Sud den Change ot Feeling. “Henry Archibald, do you ever in tend to put that shelf up in the cellar, or has a body got to stump their toes over preserve jars all their life every time they go down in that dismal hole anyhow?” Henry leaned back from the breakfast table. He was feeling the beneficial ef fects of a pound of sausage placed where it had the best effect, and, look* ing benignly upon the dear aggravation of his life, he observed : “Did you say vou wanted a shelf?” “Yes l did. about a hundred times, and you know it, too,” and there was a pref-eutiuient of wrath in her accents. “I thought I put you up a shelf only a few years ago.” “Gracious powers, man, that was when Martha was a baby and now she can wear uiv shoes ” “Y a- a-8, aud turn around in ’em, too ” “Now don’t you dare for to go for to agrivoke me, Henry Archibald,” and she’ shook a fateful forefinger forninst him. • Not a drop o' sleep or a wink to eat shall your bones see to-night till that shelf is put up. Now, you mind that!” “Well, where’s a board ?” and Henry looked vaguely out into the yard, pick ing his teeth. Here’s a hoard I’ve been savin’ ever so long,” and Mrs. A. dragged her white pine treasure out from the wash house. “Ain’t got no nail,” and Henrv, turned the hoard up on its edge and sighted along it carefully. “I’ll find you nails ; yo" shan’t have that for an excuse to get out of work,” and she disappeared into the garret while benr. took the paper and com* menced an article on the “Source of the Amazon.” Just as he was coming to the conclusion that it didn’t mean the origin of Mis. Archibald, tb it lady appeared. “Here. young man, no goin’ to sleep over that old Daper uow. Get to work.” “Where’s any hatchet ?” ‘ Here it is ; and she pranced out to the wood-shed after it; then she can tered over to Peel’s a*d borrowed a saw and carried all the things in the cellar, talking vehemently all the time, anu getting in high good humor at the pros* pect of tbe shelf going up rapidly. “Come now, dear, the things are ail teady for you.” Then Henry went down and looked deeply interested,while she showed how she wanted the hangers made, and nail ed them together. Then he held them up while she nailed them on the joists. '• hen he helped her lift the shelf into position, and sat down on a wash-tub with an exhausted air to contemplate the perfect work. “I think I made a pretty good job of that, considerin’,” he remarked. Mrs. A was standing on her tip-toes straining every muscle to drive a final nail in one of the hangers, and just then the hatchet emphasized itself on her left thumb-nail, and all milk of human kindness in her systems turned into smearcase. Henry chuckled foolishly as- he dropped the hatchet on her most sacred bunion, and as he fled through the open cellar way into the street he had a vision of a crazy woman chewing her left thumb and slinging a jar of preserved plums with her right hand. It caught him on the top of the head and breaking, spread a quart ot blood* colored and sticky juice imparti al!? over his face and down his neck The next thing he knew, he was in the arms of a big policeman at the cor ner, in whose ears he yelled hysterical ly- “ Take me in ; take me in quick,l tell you. I h.ivn’t got ten feet the start of eternal punishment.” Postponed ll is* Marriage. One mo'ning two or three days ago a middle aged man with a sore thumb ard a look of anticipations entered Justice Brown’s office and softly sat down He put bis hat on the fl*or, sat up very erect and for three strait hours hardly moved a finger At noon, as the Jus tice was ready to go. he asked the strange man if he wanted anything •Yaw,” ‘‘Well, what is it ?” ‘ I vhanis to set der Rhustice.” •‘I am the mao,” replied His Hon or. ‘ I links so all dor while,” said the man as he sat down again. “Did you want to see me ou busi ness?” “Yaw.” “What is your busiaess —what do you want to ask me ?” “I vhants to get marriet.” “Well, where is the bride ?” “I doad know narding about any prides.” “Where is the woman whom you de sire to marry?” asked His Honur. “I haf neffer seen her,” was the re* ply. “Well, how can I marry you to any body ?” “I doin’ know ” “Where is the woman?” exclaimed the Court. “May be in Shicago !” The man went out and sat down on the other side of the alloy, intending lo have a further conversation after dinner but an old barrel fell off the shed on his head,the newsboys rolled an old pumpk in at him. aod he went away say ing : “I shall get married no more till next year !”—Detroit Free Press. AF EX-GRANGER. Why He Retired from Active Farming. “i used to be an agriculturist, |Tom. An agriculturist is the noblest work of God. He beats an honest man —iu a horse trade Y r es, I was once a “hor ney-handed son of toil.” I ate my bread in the ‘sweat of my brow.” ” “I suppose you was one of them fel lars that wear the badges, Jack, and turn out iu tha processions—a Gran ger?” “A Granger ! Poo ! Why, I was old Agricola himself!” “Yes ?” “Yes. I used tu “speed-the plow.” ” “And hurl the glitteting McCormack through the gold m gtain?” said Tom, rubbing his hands together at the thought. “No Tom. I steered the sh’ning share tbiough the emerald sward, my boy ” “I see—the plow was your strong hold.” “Ah ! Tom, I was a regular Cinoin natus!” “0, you had a hog ranch !” “Hog ranch he blowed. Cincinna tus was a plowman.” •‘Well,Jack,plowman or we won’t fall out about him. But, tell me, where did you do a’l this farming of yours ?” “Up in Oregon. I eegaged myself to a land preprietoi and was allotted the pleasing task ot preparing tbe fruit ful soil fur the waiting seed. I went far h and tittillated the bosom of old mother earth.” “\nu plowed, Jack ?” “Y<’S, plowed, my boy. I plowed for tlie space of about three hours. A root of the size of a boa constrictor then arose and projected itself into my face, causing two front teeth and f .he classic out lines of my nose to disappear; the plow weut into a stump; I went over its haudLs, aud the team while the b>*am ofthettol —went through two fences aud to the devil, for all I ktow.” “Regular smash up, Tom. 1 did not long consider the situation, but, girding up my loins, sadly betook myself across lots to the nearest seaport town. Cin cinnatus of old left his plow in the fun row l left the remains of mine stick ing in a stump.” “From that moment, Torn, I ceased to be a husbandman. For nearly three hoars the calm joys of a tiller of the soil had filled my soul. That big root knocked all the Agricola, Uincinnatus and Bobby Burns out of me No more plow for me ! Never eu ce have l guid ed the shining share of the historic im plement.” Hunting a Wild Horse. Fo** several months past a band of wild horses have *ieen roaming over the plains in the vicinity of Pine Bluff,forty miles east of here, drinking daily of the waters of Lodge Pole Creek, a fine large stream near that place. The lead er of th# baud is a large, elegantly-pro portioned, jet black stallion, with sweeping raven tavl and mane, fiery eye and majestic mien. Five days ago a party of cattle herd ers decided to give chase to this wild monarch o* the boundless plain, and, mounting fresh and fleet steeds, set out upon his trail. They had arranged for frequen 1 changes of animals, with the view of keeping him in that immediate vicinity and wearing him out by giving him no rest The band of flyers was found,and then commenced the long aud arduous strug. gle between men used to the wild horse and cattle, skilled in every device for “cutting out,” “rounding up,” &e , and an untamed rover of the plains full of subtle equne strategy, of wonderful speed and incalculable nerve, ‘ bottom” and powers of endurance. For five days and nights has the chase continued Several ot the herders horses have been killed by riding, but when our informant lelt I ine Bluffs yesterday morning the noble stallion was prancing around at the head of a band of tame horses seemingly as fresh and vigo ous as though he had never known fat’gue. On the second day he was sepaiated from his wild compan ions, aud has since been kept away from them. Mr. Cold, the leader of the pursuers, is confident that he will yet capture the magnificent steed, and proposes to fol low him to the end Several wild horses have been captured in this vicinity dur ing ihe past year.— Omaha Herald. Louisville Courier Journal : It is said that “the moou has gained about an inch in rapidity of motion" within the last huncl-ed years. This is no doubt tiue, fur y ung men will tell you that when talking at the gate with their sweet hearts the moon goes down much quick er now than it did when they were boys waiting to rob a watermelon patch in the dark. They say that while “a man who shot a New York 1 wyer began to prosper right away, Landis, who shot a New Jersey editor, lost his property, his wi:e got a divorce, and he is fast becoming a lunatic.” This clearly establishes the fact,which we have strenuously endeav ored for years to number among the fixed and most salutary copvict : ons of the reader, that the loPiest achievem ni of the human mind is to know whom to shoot.
