A of September.
September strews the woodland o'er
With many a brilliant color ;
The world is brighter than before—
Why should cur hearts be duller?
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather,
All me! the glory and the grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season—this
The time when friends ere flying ;
And lovers now, with many a kiss,
Their long farewells are sighing.
Why is earth so gayly drest ?
This pomp that Autumn beareth
A funeral seems, when every guest
A wedding garment wcareth.
Each one of ua, perchance, may here,
Ou some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brow- with silver laden,
And thou this glee m >y seek again,
But never more a maiden !
Naim'*, perhap?, fores-*:-.-: :hat Spring
Will touch her teeming bosom,
An 1 i hat a few brief months will bring
The bird, the boe, tin blossom.
Alt ! these forests do not know—
Or would less brightly wither—
The virgin that adorns them so
Yv ill never more com- hither.
A Story ttud a Sum for the Boys.
A great while ago there lived a king
who governed a great empire, and he
was greatly beloved by his subjects.
Just before he died, he sent for an old
philosopher who had often given him
good advice, and requested him to he as
good a friend to his son, as he had al
ways proved to him. The promise was
freely made, and the old king died in
peace. The son ascended the throne,
hi h so n got vain and proud. He
became iyrannicnl and impetuous, and
wasted his estate in voluptuous pleasures.
The young king’s wife was. however, a
most e ceoik-nt woman, and much be
loved i! rough ut the Empire. The old
philosopher sent for him one day, and
told him he de-ired to teach him the
game of chess, which he had just in
vented. The young king consented, and
after several trials became very much
interested, lie asked the old man what
made him ever think of such a game.
The philosopher replied : “My son, I
was thinking about your kingdom, and
how easily it could be lost, if your sub
jects were to combine against you. In
this game the king has but little power
of his own, and it not protected and
guarded by his dutiful subjects, is soon
checkmated. His queen will of c; ursc
sustain him whether rigid, or wrong,
and has great influence and power in the
State. The castles represen t your wealthy
and powerful subjects, who have large
estates, and control many serfs, and who
live in houses of stone, protected by tow
ers and fortresses. They constitute a for
midable power if they combine against
you. The knights represent the chiv
alry of your kingdom. They do battle
on horse, and their movements, though
irre Tier, a*** exceedingly dangerous to
tlieii uThe bishops are the church.
Thisps not a warlike portion ts your
subjects, but when it moves on its pe
culiar line it is a terrible foe. Last of
all, my son, are the pawns. Singly they
have but little power, but as supporters
and defenders they constitute- the
strength of a government. These arc
your humble subjects, the poor men,
who fight your battles, and whose labor
and toil provides your food and clothing.
Oh, King 1 if you would not be check
mated and ir.se your kingdom, you must
gain the friendship of ail of these.”
The young king took the admonition
and the lesson to heart, and resolved to
change his course. He soon recovered
the 1-vo and confidence of his people,
and was so grateful to the philosopher
that ho sent for him and :->LI he wished
to make him some magnificent present.
This was at once declined, they then
played a game of chess together ibr the
following wager : If the king lost, he
was to give the philosopher one grain
of corn for the first square on the chess
board, two grains for the second, four
grains for the third, eight grains for the
fourth, and so on. doubling for each
square through the whole sixty-four.
The king laughed at the insignificance
of the wager. The philosopher wen the
game and then told the king that if he
had a thousand worlds, and in each world
there was a thousand kingdoms, and in
each kingdom a thousand provinces, and
in each province a thousand granaries,
and.in each granary a thousand bushels
of corn, it all would not be half enough
to pay the debt.
Now my young friends, will you please
to tell us how many bushels it would
take to pay the wager, eountinsr one
| thousand g ains to each ear of cm a, and
one hundred ears to the bushel ?
An Old Man’s Opiuiou.
An old man who heard one of those
foolish remarks that are so often made
by the unthinking, and those who are
ignorant of nature’s laws : 11 I drink to
make me work,” replied : “ That’s true,
drink and it will make you work ! I
was once a prosperous farmer. I had a
loving wife and two as fine lads as ever
the sun shone on. \Ye had a comforta
ble home, and lived happily together.
But we sued to drink to make us Work.
1 liese two lads I have now laid in a
drunkard's grave, my wife died broken
hoarted, and now lies beside her two
; sons. lam seventy years of age. Had
| it not been for drink, 1 might have been
j an independent gentleman ; but I used
to drink to make me wdrk, and. mark
; it, it makes me work now. At seventy
years of age I am obliged to work for
my daily bread, Drink ! drink ! and
‘ 't will make you.work.”
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY , OCTOBER 12, 1871.
Tilton ou Female Suffrage.
We ciip the following from Theodore
Tilton's recent letter to Senator Carpen
ter :
A citizen possesses all his rights to
(itizenship from birth ; but some of
these rights—like the right to bear arms i
—he does not exercise till the military
age ; others—like the right to vote, and
possess inherited property —till the legal
age ; aud others still—like the holding
of the high offices of state, till a yet
wiser age.
1 now show that a citizen (whether
man or woman) by virtue of simple ( it
izenship (and with nothing else as his
or her credentials) possesses constitution
ally the right of suffrage. What is a
citizen ? Let me recall to you, in answer,
some of the citations in my letter to Mr.
Summer.
Grant White says : “A citizen is a
person who has certain political rights,
and the word is improperly used only to
imply or suggest the possessor of those
rights.”
Noah Webster says that i: a citizen is a
person, native or naturalized, who has
the privilege of voting for public officers,
and who is qualified to fill offices in the
gift of the people.”
V, orcester says that u a citizen is an
inhabitant of a republic who enjoys the
lights cfa citizen or free man, and who
lias a right to vote for public officers, as
a citizen of the United States.”
Houvier’s Lew Dictionary, which
gives the legal meaning of the word,
says that “ a citizen is one who, under
the Constitution and laws of the United
States has a right to vote for Representa
tives to Congress and other public officers
and who is qualified to fill offices in the
gift of the people.”
Turning from the lexicographers to
the publicists, 1 find Thorbecke saying
that the right of citizenship is the
right of voting in the-government of the
local, provincial, or national community
of which one is a member.”
Turning to the courts. I quote the
Supreme Court of Kentucky, which
declares that “No one can be in the
correct sense of the term a citizen of a
State who is not entitled, upon the terms
prescribed by the institious of the State,
to all the rights and privileges conferred
by these institutions upon the highest
classes of society.”
Finally, I .will repeat a declaration
which I have already adduced from the
Supreme Court of the United States, as
follows: “Who, it may be asked is a
citizen ' . . . Upon a principle of ety
mology alone, the term citizen, as derived
cd from c’ri'ap, conveys the idea of con
nection or identification with the State
or government, and a participation in
its functions. There is not an exposi
tion of the term citizen which has not
been understood as conferring the actual
possession and enjoyment, or the perfect
right- of acquisition and enjoyment, of
an entire equality of privileges, civil
and political.”
Now those citations prove that a citi
zen, by virtue of simple citizenship, has
the risi’ht of suffrage.
So, having admitted (as you gallantly
do) that woman is a citizen, you have
by this admission put it out of your
power to deny to her the political rights
which i.he literary critics, the learned
lexicographers, the international law
writers, the State courts, and the Su
preme Court of the United States have
unanimously conferred upon her by vir
tue of her citizenship.
Origin ol the White Trash.
A negro preacher by the name of
Dempsey Morgan, living this year near
General \Y. W. Allen's plantation, in
this county, delivered a funeral discourse
over the dead body of old Uncle Bur
ton. about three weeks ago, in which he
gave an account of the Genesis of the
| (white) species which throws Darwin,
aud all of his vain philosophy of mo
lecular gemular and atomic creation
completely in the shade. He said :
My ii redder in, when Adam and Ebe
was fust made they was bofe niggers.
But do. good Lord put dem in de gar
den where he had his summer apples
and his winter apples, aud tole ’em.
Ad am, you and Ebe may eat dem sum
mer apples, much as you want, but you
jes let dem Fowler apples be—l dim
save deal for my own special toof. Dose
like sheep meat, too good for niggers.
Den de Lord he went off ’bout his
business lemouading up and down de
yeth seeking up whom he might save up.
But he no sooner turn his back dan,
jes like two fool niggers, Adam and Ebe
steal all de Fowler apples. Ebe taste
de fust one. smack her lubly thick lips,
and quired of Adam, “ How is dat for
high ; Adam said it was all (). K..
and den dey went for dem Fowler ap
ples like iieething Chinese.
Bunchy de Lord come hack and de
first thing he say was “ Adam ! Adam i
where my Fowler apples ?” Den Adam
got skeered and said : “ 1 don’t know,
Lord, but 1 speck Ebe got ’em.” De
Lord den went to Eioe and said, “ Ebe,
who got dem Fowler apples?” Den
Ebe got skeered and said: “Pur.no,
Lord, but I kinder speck dat fool nigger,
Adam took ’em.” Den de Lord got so
mad he fairly smash his tees. He
stomped back up to where Adam was
standin’ shiverin’ like a sheep-killen’
| dog, and he make de ground fairly shake
as he say : “ Adam ! Adam ! you grand
| old thief j what for you steal my Fowler
I apples?” Den Adam got so skeered he
, tarn vhitc as a sheet! and my belubbed
! brodderen he nebber got black any
more; and dat accounts for de poor
white trash we see flyiu’ round here so
grand, votin' the Democratic ticket!
Let us look to de Lord and be dismist.
And such is the kingdom of lladi
calisni.—Montgomery Ada a ti+er.
Newspaper Work.
An exchange in an article on “ newspa
per work and workers,” truthfully re
marks that there is no other profession
but enjoys immunity from observation
as to ils modes. The preacher writes in
the privacy of his study, and can con
coct platitudes or pad out plagiarism
that would be the ruin of the editor and
reporter. The lawyer consults his cli
ent and organizes las campaign in pri
vate, bringing into court only as much
as makes for his cause and against the
cause of his adversary. The doctor
plies his potions and launches in his
lancet in secret. If the patient recover,
it may be the medicine or it may be in
spite of it; if he die, it may be pills or
Providence—the physician is scathless.
None of these come to light that their
deeds may be reproved.
Moreover, the work of the press is
continuous, as well as constantly public.
There is no peace in our war. There is
no rest for the weary. Space is no more
annihilated by telegraph than time is by
journalism. The evening and the morn
ing are not merely the first day, but all
the seven. Night is annihilated as to
all its quantity of repose. Every min
ute of every hour of the twenty-four is
occupied by some workers doing some
work that shows itself in the newspaper
of the day and afternoon. Repetition
is as impossible as rest. Facts are ever
new. Comments must be as fresh as
facts, and the edition is a remorseless
giant that eats up all the seconds. The
making of a newspaper is perpetual
motion in a thousand fields. In such a
work, demanding ceaseless effort, per
mitting no pause, exacting eternal and
ever-varying exercises, it is impossible
for wheat to be ummxed of chaff, for
accuracy not to be impaired by mistakes
injustice not occasionally to be done.
v rightoiiecl by a Monkey.
Two burglars in Cincinnati! concluded
to make a descent on the residence of a
gentleman in that city one night last
week, but were ignorant of the fact that
the gentleman had on bis premises a very
remote ancestor in the shapdof a mon
key. On this particular night. Mr. Mon
key, finding it too hot to rest comforta
bly, had left his troubled couch, and was
perched upon a sill c-f an open window
in the second story. There he sat en
joying the glorious moonlight and rumi
nating upon the happy days of long
ago, when he sported among the rich
verdure of Brazilian forests, partook of
the luscious tropical fruits, or pestered
some poor poll parrott by peppering her
with ppacans. ,
The appearance of the burglars awoke
him from his reverie. With eager curi
osity ho watched them in their attack
upon the house, and when they had
penetrated as far as the kitchen, he
could stand it no longer, but gave a
tremendous screech, followed by a pro
longed eh-r-r-r, which curdled the blood
in their veil*. They did not wait to see
whence the unearthly sound proceeded.
They evidently fancied that a whole
regiment of police were upon them, and
turned and fled in wild dismay, followed
and spurred on as they ran by shouts of
demoniac laughter from the undeveloped
specimen of humanity on the wiadew
sill.
“Two-Ten.”
Mrs. Laura Curtis Bullard tells a story
of' the Baroness Cor.tts, who, when
shopping in Paris, was passed from one
department to another by the clerks, al
ways with the remark “two-ten.” She
was escorted from counter to counter,
and everywhere these cabalistic words,
“two-ten,” were repeated by one clerk
to another. Struck by the peculiarity
of this refrain, she asked the proprietor,
as she left the establishmcn t: “Pray,
what does ‘two-ten’ mean ? I noticed
each clerk said it to the other in your
shop.” “ Oh, it is nothing,”*he replied,
“ merely a password they are in the habit
of exchanging.” But Miss Coutts was
not satisfied with this explanation. So
in the evening, when the porter, a young
boy, brought home her purchases, after
paying her bill, she said : “My boy,
would you like to earn five francs ?” Os
course he had no objection. “Tell me,”
said the lady, “what does ‘two-ten’
mean?. I will give you five francs.”
“ Why, don’t you know ma’am ?” said
he, evidently amused at her ignorance.
“ It means • keep your two eyes on her
ten fingers.’ ” the mystery was solved
at last. All the clerks of the Trois
Quartiers had taken the richest woman
in Great Britain for a shop-lifter.
Sleep.
Every man must sleep according to
his temperament; but eight hours is the
average. If one requires a little more
or a little less he will find it out for him
self. Whoever, by work, pleasure sor
row, or by any other cause, is regularly
diminishing his sleep, is destroying his
life. A man may hold out for a time,
but natme keeps close accounts, and no
man can dodge her settlements. We
have seen impoverished railroads that
could not keep the track in order nor
spare engines to be thoroughly repaired:
Every year track and equipments dete
riorated. J>y-aud-bv comes a crash, and
the road is a heap of confusion and de
struction. So it is with men. They
slowly run behind. Symptoms of gen
eral waste appear. Erematare wrinkles,
weak eyes, depression of spirits, failure
of digestion, feebleness in the morning
and overwhelming mc-lunchoiy; these
and other signs show a general dilapida
tion. If now sudden calamity causes
an extraordinary pressure, they go down
under it. They have no resources to
draw upon. They have been living up
to the verge of their whole vitality ev
ery day.
A Saratoga Scandal.
The knowing ones am >ng the guests
still remaining at Saratoga are rolling a
swe-t morsel of scandal under their
tongues, from which much juci ness see ins
to have been extracted. The parties
affected are the wife of a leading turf
man, who has a largo stable of horses
at the Springs, and a young man who
has been sporting it in Saratoga during
the past summer. She is young, pretty
and vivacious ; he gay and handsome
and in New York, where he resides, is
known as one of those “Broadway stat
utes” whose only mission seems to be to
lure unsuspecting victims to destruction.
They met one morning at the Spring ;
there was a look, a frisk of the hand
kerchief, an acquaintanceship formed,
and in a little while a fallen woman and
a dishonored husband. The gossips
talked, and their words reached the
ears of the wronged husband, lie is a
cool, determined, resolute man. He
went straight to the “ swell,” charged
him with his crime and demanded con
fession. The young man denied his guilt.
” Tei! me all,” said the other, “or 1
will kill you on the spot.” The guilty
wretch saw in his look the determination
of a man who meant what he said, and
to save his worthless life he told the
story of his crime which had undone
the husband. The wife was next inter
viewed —she denied, protested, begged,
entertained, but confessed at last. A
lawyer was sent for and the property
which had been presented to her by the
husband was deeded back to him. They
parted forever. The next step was an
action for divorce, which is now pend
ing before a referee in tSie village. It
may be mentioned that one of the sad
features of the case is the previous his
tory of the husband and the effect this
blight may have upon his life. Previ
ous to marriage he was a dissipated,
hardened wretch. Marriage reformed
him—thoughts of his wife made him a
prudent, careful, temperate man, though,
perhaps, a too indulgent, pettish hus
band. He is said to be m ierly over
whelmed with grief, and his friends fear
that the disgrace of his wife may drive
him back to his former intemperate
course of life.
The Woman Problem— I>ress.
The average young man walks into his
tailor’s twice a year, pays a bill, and has
coats and pantaloons and vests. That is
all he knows. lie requires shirts, and
somebody makes him shirts. He thinks
no more. Will he have a hat '<! Behold !
a piece of felt, with a galloon string —it
does not flop over his forehehead. It
will uever twitch off his back hair. It
does not blow' into hi3 eyes. Its elastic
cannot blister his neck nor produce de
pressions of the cerebellum. It will not
be out of date before summer is over,
seldom or never be a matter of anxious
reflection. It is a fixed fact, like yes
terday’s dinner or last election, 'i he
average young woman expends enough in
ventive power, enough financial shrewd
ness, enough close foresight, enough
perturbation of spirit, enough presence
of mind, enough patience of hope and
anguish of regret, upon one se.sonV
outfit—l had almost said upon one street
suit—to make an excellent bank: cashier,
or a comfortable graduate of a theolog
ical seminary. If you doubt the truth
of this statement, just take in for your
self, with the “ cricket’s eye,” the first
young girl you meet down town. llow
fearfully and wonderfully made ! How
do you suppose those bias folds, and dou
ble box plaits, and flute ruffles, and pan
icked skirts, and bowed and flounced,
and tied, and corded, and laced, and
spangled, and fringed, and folded, and
dotted, and hunched, and bunched, and
horrible mysteries got together ? There
was manoeuvering expended upon the
dressmaker to have elected a represent
ative, and concentration of mind upon
the.seamstress intense enough to have
withstood’.a Wall street panic, and head
ache enough put into the sewing ma
chine to have mastered “ Porter’s Hu
man Intellect.” And now it requires
care enough to keep herself together,
to save a soul. —Elizabeth Stuart 1
For Marriageable Girl;-.
If a man wipes his feet on the door
mat, he will make a good husband. If a
man in snuffing a candle puts it out, you
may be sure he will make a stupid hus
band. If a man puts his handkerchief
on his knee while taking tea. you may
be sure he will make a pruaent hus
band. In the same way ahvay - misirud
a man who will not take the last piece
of toast, but prefers waitidg for the next
warm batch, it is likely he will maxe a
a reedy and selfish husband, wsW w*; uu
you will enjoy no brown ’ at dinner,
no crust at tea. and no peaCe whatever
at home. The man, mv dears, who
Wears rubbers, and is careful about wrap
ping himself up before venturing in the
night air, not unfrequently makes a
2;ood invalid husband, that mostly steps
at home, and is easily comforted with
slops. The man who watches the ket
tle, and prevents it from boiling over,
will not fail, mv his married
state, in exercising the same care, in
always keeping the pot boiling. The
man who does not take tea, ill-treats
cats, takes snuff, stands with his back
to the fire, is a brute, whom I would not
advise you, my dears, to marry for any
consideration, either for love or money
—but most decidedly not for love. But
a man who, when tea is over, is discov
ered to have had none, is sure to make
a good husband Patience like his de
serves to be rewarded with the best of
wives and the best of mothers-in-law. —
My dears, when you meet with such a
man, do your best to marry him. In
the sever is t winter, he wouldn’t mind
going to bed first.
Make-Believe Shoes.
The shoe worn by the young woman
of the period is surely one of the most
no min •hie contrivances e\er brought
into vogue by the caprice of the sex.
What need to describe it? Do we not
know the absurdity of its construction,
and how ingeniously it has been dosigm and
for the destruction of comfort, and ease,
and grace in walking, and also in all
semblance to a real woman’s foot ?
When it first came into fashion, the la
dies were told by a few sensible men
that to put their feet into a machine
with a toe like a bird's bill, and a heel
three inches high brought forward under
the instep, would' insure suffering and
deformity.
But the dear creatures, in their irre
sistible way, resented this interference
with their prerogative of self-torture
aud self caricature, and asked, “would
you have us to look like dowdies, with
broad toes to our shoes, and low h v!s.
and all that?’ “ all sch >t ” meaning heels
where nature intended they should l»e.
The plea was unanswciahle. kadi s’
shoe-makers i certain truthful ones') tell
us, what observelltt also reveals, that
there is hardly a young woman now who
regards herself at all fashionable who
has not bunions, callosities, Twrns and
enlarged joints; aud that the crop <,f
these ornaments developed within the
last four or five years is astonishing and
pitiful. The worst of it is that there
appears to be no prospect of relief, ex

A Sad Family History.
The New Orleans Picayune tells the
following : Shortly after the close of
the war, Mrs. Bench, living near Oar
roliton, went insane. The cause of her
derangement was attributed to the loss
of her husband in one of the numerous
conflicts in Virginia. Notwithstanding
the unsound condition of her mind she
went about her daily duties as usual,
taking care of her children (she had
two, a boy and girl,) and sewing fur
their support. It was only in conversa
tion that her infirmity was apparent, and
her utter aversion fur society, Natu
rally weak and delicate in her organiza
tion, her overtaxed strength gave way
under the arduous work she performed,
and da}' by day her thin, pale face grew
careworn, and her soft and silent foot
steps drew nearer and nearer to the
grave. But to ail inquiries of friends
about her health she would shake her
head and say, “ I’m well, 1 can’t die;
who would care for my little ones ?”
The sad and lonely life of toe woman
excited compassion, but she would take
no aims. fHie toiled early and late.
But not a great w hile since she sent for
a gentleman living a short distance from
her, and when ho arrived said to him,
“ I ant going to die now, my children
are provided for.” In less than two
days she was dead, and cotemporaneous
with the fact came the intelligence that
by the death of an uncle her children
had become the heirs to a large f’ - tunc
in Maryland.
A Voice From the Dead.
The following touching episode comes
from France : " The other day a young
soldier, who had just returned from
Germany, was surrounded in a street,
in Pndome, by a sympathetic group, who
listened with emotion to the story of
his capture, imprisonment, and subse
quent return. They were the more
pressing in their attentions as tlie young
man had been reported dead, and the
lack of all information about him sen rued
to confirm the report. Suddenly a wo
man with melancholy steps and down
cast visage, emerged from one of the
dwelling houses. The joy and laugh
ter of the group seemed to mock her.
for she had lost, she thought, her only
son on the field of battle. As soon as
he saw her, the youth made his way
through the crowd which pressed around
him, and advanced with buoyant step and
radiant countenance toward the woman,
who raised her head, and after a girnee
ao the youth’s figure, emaciated from
long suffering, and his features, which
recalled one who lived no longer, ..he
turned, staggered, and would have fallen
if the young m«n bad not caught her
in his arms, and whispered in tones of
endearment: * Mother, Mother 1 it is
l, your Son, do you not know me V
But the kind mother did not answer her
son, lor she had expired. Happiness
had killed her.”
