CHOOSINCI HUSBANDS.
One Woman’s Experience—lnter
esting Heading for Young In
dies.
When a girl marries, why do peo
ple talk of her choice ? In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred, has she any
choice Does not the man (probably
the last she would have chosen) select
"her ? n
Avery clever correspondent has sent
us a letter containing this query; and
she makes out her case ably. She says :
“ I have been married many years; the
match was considered a very good one,
suitable in every respect —age, position
and fortune. Every one said I had
made a choice. Why, my dear Mr.
Editor, I loved my husband when I mar
ried him because he had by unwearied
assiduity succeeded in gaining my affec
tions; but had choice been my privilege
[ certainly should not have chosen him.
As I look at him in his easy chair, a
huge dog at his feet, a pipe peeping out
of one of the many pockets of his shoot
ing coat, I can but think how different
he is from what I would have chosen.
My first penchant was for a fashiona
ble clergyman, a perfect Adonis; he
was a flatterer, and he cared but little
for uic, though I have not yet forgotten
the pang of his desertion. My next
was a barrister; a young man of im
mense talent, smooth, insinuating man
ners ; but he, too, after talking, walk
ing, dancing and flirting, left me in the
lurch. Either of these would have been
my 4 choice,’ had I so chosen ; but my
present husband chose me and therefore
L married him; and this I cannot help
thinking, must be the way with half
the married folks of my acquaintance.”
There is both sound sense and truth
in this; but is it not better that men
should choose than they should be cho
sen / And is not our correspondent
probably much happier with her pres
ent husband, shooting jacket, pipe and
dog inclusive, than she would have been
with either the fashionable clergyman
or the clever barrister ? Men are pro
verbially inconstant, and after marriage,
when the trouble and inconvenience of
children arc beginning to be felt, and
when (the most trying time of all) the
wife begins to neglect her husband for
her children, unless there was originally
a very strong attachment on the hus
band’s side, there is little chance for
happiness. A wife’s affection, on the
contrary, always increases after mar
riage ; and even if she were indifferent
before, no well disposed woman can help
loving the father of her children.—
Children, on her side, are a bond of
union, and though she may appear, for
them, to neglect some of those little at
tentions which men naturally seem to
expect, it is only because the child is
the more helpless being of the two, and
the true woman always takes the side of
those who are most feeble.
It is a strange but melancholy fact
that when young girls fancy themselves
in love, they are seldom if ever happy
if they marry the object of their choice.
The fact is, in the most cases, they find
the husband they have chosen quite a
different person as an individual from
the imaginary object he had appeared as
a lover. The imagination in most girls
is“stronger than the judgment; and as
soon as the first idea of love is awakened
in a female heart, the imagination is set
to work to fancy a lover, and all possible
and impossible perfections are assembled
together in the young girl’s mind to en
dow the object of her secret idolatry
The first man whose appearance and man
ners attract a girl on her entrance into
society is generally invested by her with
the halo of these secret thoughts, and
she fancies herself violently in love
without the least knowledge of the man
she supposes herself in love with. No
wonder, then, that if she marries she is
miserable.
On the other hand the man who, with
very pardonable vanity, fancied himself
loved for his own merits, and who was
perfectly unconscious of the secret de
lusions of the girl, becomes, when he
finds her changed after marriage, quite
indignant at her Qaprice. The friends
and relations on both sides share in the
same feelings—“ what would she have?”
they cry —“ she married for love, and
see the consequence.”
The consequences are indeed, in such
cases, generally sad enough. When the
first delusion is dissipated, and the truth,
in all its hard and stern reality, comes
forth from the veil that has been thrown
around it, both parties feel indignant of
the false position in which they find
themselves. Mutual recriminations take
place, each accusing the other of deceit
and ingratitude; while the apparent
injustice of these accusations, which is
felt by each party alternately, first
wounds the feelings, and iheo, if repeated,
rankles in the wound until it becomes
incurable.
The New York Express says : Each
tick of the clock for the last ten years
has added $8.28 to our National debt
and every time the second hand has,
made a complete revolution, $490.80
have accumulated to that already
weighty incumbent. At every inhala
tion $16.50 have been put upon the
debt side, aud in the little time we take
to consume our dinner, at least $8,330
have been consumed by the Radical
party at Washington
Alphonse Adhemar, a celebrated
mathematician, has recently enunciated
a startling theory that the earth is cov
ered by a deluge once in 10,500 years,
and he gives multitudinous calculations
supporting his assertions.

CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1871.
From the Gwinnett Atlas.
FluukyUm.
“Honor to whom honor is due,” is an
old maxim which we respect and admire,
but we confess that we have wandered
far from it in these degenerate days. In
olden times when men had performed
great service for their country and had
become renowned as warriers, statesmen
or philanthropists, or were eminent in
any of the departments of science, or
had done some act which entitled them
to the veneration and respect of man
k.nd, their coming and going was made
matter of public concern, and the press
duly heralded it to the country. This
was all right. But we confess we are
disgusted, when we read in our ex
changes the movements of every little
pigmy who stirs beyond the smoke of
his owu chimney, and it is chronicled
with flourish of trumpets as the arrival
or departure of the Honorable Mr.
Shecpsorrel or the Honorable Mr. Tad
pole.
Ihe term Honorable was applied by
courtesy to distinguished men ; ex-Pres
idents, ex Governors, ex-members of
Congress, and Judges who had worn
the ermine unspotted, but it has now,
like military titles after the war,become
so common, and has been plastered on
all sorts of two legged animals, that
those who are entitled to them have be
come nauseated, and it is really refresh
ing to meet with a plain Mr. We have
a sort of exalted respect for such an
one.
In these days, if a man has ever kept
a tub mill or a grindstone, or been high
constable of some backwoods district of
‘•Georgia Mclish,” he can’t go to mill,
or “hunt the greedy opossum,” without
some vigilant staff officer of the editorial
corps of the “milky way” announcing,
as a stunning fact, which ought to make
the world open its eyes in amazement,
that the Hon. Mr. Thingumbob has ar
rived safe from his perilous adventures
after the “ possom;” and the modest
Jenkins or Smith, who never expected
to tread fame’s giddy height, suddenly
find themselves immortalized. Shade
of the departed Longstreet! If Raney
Sniffle had lived in these days we would
expect to see it announced that the
Hon. R. Sniffle, of Sniffletown, has
taken rooms at the Chinquepin Hotel.
“Now, in the name of all the Gods at once,
Upon what meats doth this, our Caesar feed,
That he has grown so great ?”
A Mother’s Power.
A moment’s work on clay tells more
than an hour’s work on brick. So work
on hearts should be done before they
harden. During the first six or eight
years of child-life, mothers have chief
sway, and this is the time to make deep
est and most endearing impressions on
the human mind.
The examples of material influence
are countless. Solomon himself records
the words of wisdom that fell from a
mother’s lips, and Timothy was taught
the Scriptures from a child by his grand
mother.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, used to
say: “ I should have been a French
atheist were it not for the recollection of
the time when my departed mother used
to take my little hands in hers, and make
me say, on my bended knees, 4 Our
Father who art in Heaven !’ ”
44 1 have found out what makes you
the man you are,” said a gentleman one
morning to President Adams. 44 1 have
been reading your mother’s letters to her
son.”
Washington’s mother trained her boy
to truthfulness and virtue; and when
his messenger called to tell her that her
son was raised to the highest station in
the nation’s gift, she could say : “George
always was a good boy.”
A mother’s tears dropped on the head
of her little boy one evening as he sat
in the doorway and listened, while she
spoke of Christ and his salvation.—
“Those tears made me a missionary,”
said he, when he had given his man
hood’s prime to the service of the Lord.
Someone asked Napoleon what was
the great need of the French nation.
“Mothers,” was the significant answer.
Woman, has God given you the priv
ileges and responsibilities of mother
hood ? Be faithful, then to the little one;
you hold the key of their hearts now.
If you once lose it, you would give the
world to win it back ; use your opportu
nities before they pass.
And remember, little ones, you will
never have but one mother. Obey and
honor her; listen to her words, and
God will bless you day by day.
A Chicago Jeremiade —Mr. W.
D. Bancker has brought from Chicago
to New r Yoik a curious memorial of the
great fire. Among the ruins of the
Western News Company’s establishment,
where an immense stock of periodicals
and books was reduced to ashes, there
was found a single leaf of a quarto Bi
ble charred around the edges. It con
tained the first chapter of the Lamenta
tions of Jeremiah, which opens with
the following words : “ How doth the
city sit solitary that was full of people!
How is she become a widow ! she that
was great among the nations and princess
among the provinces, how is she become
tributary! She weepeth sore in the
night, and her tears are on her cheeks;
among all her lovers she hath none to
comfort her.” And that was the only
fragment of literature saved . from the
News Company’s great depot. —Netc
York Tribune.
“How did you learn that graceful at
titude ?” sad a gentleman to a fellow
leaning in a maudlin fashion against a
post. “1 have been practicing at a glass,”
was the reply.
Words of Comfort to Mothers.
A writer in Hearth and Home speaks
these words of comfort to working moth
ers :
“A woman who does all her own
work, who has very little means at her
command, and who, besides, is the moth
er of seveaal small children none of
whom are able to help her, or wait on
themselves, bust on the contrary, require
constant attention, often has weary mo
ments of utter discouragement. Her
thoughts run somewhat in this way : “I
am completely tired out, yet my work
is not half done. I meant to have ac
complished so much to-day ; but I had
bad kindling, and the fire has been poor
in consequence, then the baby has been
cross, and the other children noisy and
boisterous, and having them in-doors
ali the time this cold weather is so tire
some to them and to me. Then there
are little stockings to be knitted, and
shirts for husband to be made—dear me,
I am sure I do not see where I am going
to find the time to do them ! But that
is not the worst of it. My darling chil
dren are so neglected, I can’t possibly
spare the time to train them aright,and
when I see other person’s children so
quiet and orderly, and so neat and well
dressed, it makes me feel badly. I am
afraid my children will turn out misera
bly. It is seldom that I can stop to
correct them as I should, and It is only
of a Sunday afternoon that I ever can
gather them around me to talk to them,
or tell them a story, like a real, true
mother should.”
Dear mother, be not discouraged.
That little Sunday afternoon talk, the
distress which you display in your coun
tenance whenever your child utters an
evil word, or acts unWndly, and the
prayerlul desire on your part to do
them good, will have its reward. Those
little quiet peaceful talks will be as grains
of mustard seed sown in good ground,
which, although the seed is so small
that it seems invisible to the human
sight, shall spring up vigorous, strong
and irresistible.
—
Letters of Recommendation.
A gentleman advertised for a boy to
assist him in his office, and nearly fifty
applicants presented themselves to him.
Out of the whole number he selected
one, and dismissed the rest.
“ I should like to know,” said a friend,
“ on what ground you selected that boy,
who brought not a single recommenda
tion.”
“ You are mistaken,” said the gentle
man ; “he had a great many. He wiped
his feet when he came in, and closed the
door after him, showing that he was
careful. He gave up his seat instantly
to that lame, old man, showing he was
kind and thoughtful He took off his
cap when he came in, and answered my
questions promptly and respectfully,
showing he was polite and gentlemanly.
He picked up the book which I pur
posely laid upon the floor, and replaced
it on the table, while all the rest stepped
over it or shoved it aside; and he
waited quietly for his turn, instead of
pushing and crowding, showing that he
was honest and orderly. When I talked
with him, I noticed that his clothes were
carefully brushed, his hair in nice order,
and his teeth as white as milk ; and
when he wrote his name, I noticed that
his finger nails were clean, instead of
being tipped with jet, like that hand
some little fellow’s in the blue jacket.
Don’t you call those things letters of
recommendation ? I do, and I would
give more for what I can tell about a
boy by using my eyes ten minutes than
all the fine letters he can bring me.”

dent Trammell in the Chair.
Prayer by Rev. E. W. Warren.
The roll w T as called and the journal
of yesterday read and approved.
Mr. Brown offered the following pre
amble and resolutions:
Whereas, It has been alleged by cer
tain politicians North and South, who
esteem the success of the party to which
they belong, and the accomplishment of
their political purposes more highly
than the peace, happiness and prosperity
of the country, that there exists in this
and other Southern States, certain law
less bands of persons commonly called
Ku-Klux, who are banded together for
political purposes, and are in the habit
of committing outrages.upon the peace
able and law abiding citizens of the
country, and that the State Courts fail
and refuse to afford sufficient redress;
and
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States at its last session appointed a
committee to investigate said alleged
outrages and violations of law; and
Whereas, This Senate is satisfied
that no such political organization exist
in this State, and denies to afford said
committee all the aid and facilities in
its power for the purpose of enabling
the said committee to arrive at
the truth in regard to all the
matters which it is their duty to inves
tigate ; and
Whereas, The Superior Court Judges
of this State (a large majority of whom
belong to the Republican party) preside
over the courts of every county in this
State, and have ample opportunity of
knowing how the law is being adminis
tered and enforced in the various parts
of the State; and
Whereas, The Senate is satisfied that
a large number of witnesses have been
called to testify before said committee,
who arc not worthy of crcj it, before any
court or honest community, for the pur
pose of making a record to be used for
the accomplishment of certain political
ends, which greatly defames the people
of this State ; and
Whereas, This Senate is satisfied that
the people of this State never w re at
any time in the history of this country,
more peaceable, quiet and law abiding
than they are now ; therefore
Resolved by the Senate, That we re
spectfully invite the portion of said com
mittee, which is now assembled in this
city, to summons as witnesses before
them, all of the Judges of the Superior
Courts of this State.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to give to said committee and the courts
of the country all the aid in our power
to enable them to investigate any out
rages or violations of law which may
have been committed against the laws
of this State or the United States, and
to bring the guilty parties to speedy
justice.

Senator Brock spoke at length against,
