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.

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 cept a turn in the whirligig of fashion, and that there are no exceptions to the rule of torture and deformity. For the good and sensible of the sex imm-datc themselves with the foolish : id the frivo lous. No degree of sense, or independ ence, or stability of character seems to absolve any woman who had the charm of womanhood about her from slavery to fashion, at whatever sacrifice of time, comfort, money or health. — X lovi Times. 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.” What is the difference between an entrance to a barn and a 1 iter in a printing office ? One is a bai .1 door and the other a darn bore.
