VOL. 11.
To Southern Teachers and Parents.
A CARD FROM GEN. GORDON.
My excuse for addressing you must
be the great importance of the subject
to which I would call your attention—
that of the proper education of our
children, and the proper development of
their self-respect and character.
1 need not repeat any commonplaces
in regard to the lasting effect of early
impressions, the almost impossibility ol
diverting the mind from the bent given
it in early years —all this you know as
well as I. Nor need I say anything
about tfie powerful silent influence, in
this ducational work, of the school
books from which our children derive
their views of right and wrcng, and
their knowledge of the facts, or mis
representations, of history—for this,
too, you know full well.
And wdien I say that having been,for
long years,almost entirely dependent on
the North for our school hooks, we have
been compelled to use many which were
very distasteful to us, because we had
do alternative, I only state that which
every reader car. substantiate.
Long before the war we all felt the
necessity for a change in this re
spect —the necessity for unubnoxious
school hooks—for unsectional, unp< liti
cal books- school books prepared by our
own scholars, if that might be ; and
since the war this necessity has increased
tenfold. Individual efforts, of the most
praiseworthy character have, from time
to time, been made in this direction by
Southern men, but not of a sufficiently
comprehensive nature to accomplish the
purpose in view.
To fully meet the want thus unive -
sally felt, several of oUr ripest scholars,
and most successful teachers, united
in preparing a Series of School lW«kg
unsurpassed by any others in excellence,
beauty cheapness.
Maury wrote Geographies and As
tronomy ;
Venable wrote Arithmetics, Alge
bras, etc.;
Holmes wrote History, Grammars and
Headers ;
Schcle de Vere wrote French Books ;
Gildersleeve wrote Latin Books;
Le Conte wrote Scientific Books ;
Bun ton made Writing Books, &c.,&c;
And the combined series is called the
“ University Series of School Books;”
a series not only not objectionable to our
people, but. positively attractive to a de
gree heretofore entirely unknown. Our
history, institutions and modes of thought
here receive impartial treatment; and
instead of being ignored, the interests of
the South here receive equal represen
tation.
iueu as to intrinsic merit, who know’s
more about Geography than Maury, or
History aud Grammar than Holmes, or
of Mathematics than Venable, and so
on through all the list? Each author
is a master in his special department.
It is for this series of books, so excel
lent, so acceptable, so cheap (they are
the cheapest books published) that your
favor is solicited.
The books of the University Series
are presented distinctly upon their mer
its: you are not asked to use inferior
books.
If these two questions can be answer
e 1 affirmatively : Are these books equal
to any iu merit ? Are they as cheap as
any ? Should they not receive your
preference? What is more reasonable
than that Southern Schools should be
supplied with books written by Southern
scholars, provided they are equally good
with those written by Northern men ?
Is it not better both for us and our chil
dren that such books should be- used ?
Already the response which was in
evitable, to this question has come.—
More than 5,000 of our best Southern
schools are using these books; several
Southern States have already adopted
them Li exclusive use in their public
schools ; County Boards in every South
ern State are adopting them ; and the
best private schools are replacing books
hitherto used, with them. The success
of the University Series is unprece
dented in the history of school book
publishing, apd it is destiped to be yet
greater.
Do the people of the South desire to
rid themselves of obnoxious books and
pernicious teachings ? Can it be better
done than by unaniniosly sustaining this
first comprehensive educational enter
prise of our own scholars, aud by making
the University Series the
UNIFORM SERIES IN EVERY SOUTHERN
STATE.
(Including, of course, any other books
having equal claim for consideration.)
Our schools will then be supplied with
books which they can long continue to
use ; pupils compelled to change their
schools will no longer be retarded in
their studies by a change of books, for
all will use the same; and parents will
be saved the expense of present constant
: changes, while they are relieved of all
anxiety in regard to the character of
the teachings under which their children
are brought.
This subject, in all its bearings, is of
the highest importance to us as a people,
ipy countrymen. It is not a sectional
movement, but a national and patriotic
one. It is not a mere rivalry between
j different publishers, or I would not pre-.
fume to ask your attention to it. It goes
down deep iuto our dearest interests ; it
is the forming of the minds of your
children and mine, which is at stake ;
the developing of their self-respect and
character, which is to be the result.
It is an enterprise so important to us
that our best citizens —our representa
tive men in every State, to the number
of three hundred and more, the men we
all honor and esteem —have put their
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1871.
money into the work, not to make profit
out of it, although that is certain, but
that abundant means should not be
lacking to prosecute the enterprise on
the largest scale.
V ill the teachers and parents of the
South unitedly sustain these authors,
and these gentlemen in the work just
described, by adopting and using these
books to the exclusion of all not so ac
ceptable ? Ido not doubt your answer.
If you desire further information in
regard to the books, write to the “Uni
versity Publishing Company,” 155 &, 157
Crosby St., New York, or 54 Lexington
St., Baltimore, or to me at Atlanta, Ga ,
and illustrated catalogues and other in
formation will be sent you at once,with
out charge. J. B. Gordon.

A Melting Story.
One winter evening a country store
keeper in the Green Mountain State was
about closing up for the night, and while
standing in the snow outside, putting up
the window shutters, saw through the
glass a lounging, worthless fellow’ within
grab a pound of fresh butter from the
shelf and conceal it in his hat.
The act was no sooner detected than
the revenge was hit upon, arid a very
few minutes found the Green Mountain
storekeeper at once indulging his appe
tite for fun to the fullest extent, and
paying off the thief with a facetious sort
of torture, for which he would have
gained a premium from the old inquisi
tion.
“I say, Seth,” said the storekeeper,
coming in and closing the door after
him, slapping his hand over his shoul
ders and stamping the snow off his feet.
Seth had his hand on the door, his
hat on his head, and the roll of butter
in h;s hat, anxious to make his exit as
S’”'!! as possible.
“I say. Seth, sit down ; I reckon now
on such a cold night as this a little
something warm would not hurt a fel
low.”
Seth felt very uncertain ; he had the
butter and was exceedingly anxious to
be off, but the temptation of something
warm sadly interfered with his resolu
tion to go. This hesitation was settled
by the owner of the butter taking Seth
by the shoulders and planting him in a
seat close to the stove, where he was in
such a manner cornered in by the boxes
and barrels, that, while the grocer stood
before him, there was no possibility of
getting out, and right in this very place,
sure enough the storekeeper sat down.
“Seth, we’ll have a warm Santa Cruz,"
said the Green mountain grocer ; so he
opened the stove door, and stuffed iD as
many sticks as the place would admit;
“without it you’d freeze going such a
night as this.”
Seth already felt the butter settling
down closer to his hair, aud he jumped
up, declaring he must go.
“Not till you have something warm,
Seth; Seth, come, I’ve got a story to
tell you,” and Seth was 'again rushed
into his seat by his cunning tormentor.
“Oh ! it’s so hot here,” said the pet
ty thief, attempting to rise.
“Sit down— don’t be in such a hur
ry,” retorted the grocer, pushing him
back into his chair.
“But Uve got the cows to fodder and
the wood to split, I must be going,” said
the persecuted chap.
“But you musn’t tear yourself away,
Seth, in this manner. Sit down, let the
cows take care of themselves, and keep
yourself easy; you appear to be a little
fidgety,” said the rogueish grocer with
a wicked leer.
The next thing was the production of
two smoking glasses of hot toddy, the
very sight of which, in Seth’s present
situation, wo«ld have made the hair
stand erect upon his head, had it not
been well oiled and kept down by the
butter.
“Seth, I will give you a toast, now,
and you can butter it yourself,” said the
grocer, with an air of such consumate
simplicity that poor Seth believed him
self unsuspected.
“Seth, here’s—here’s a Christaias
goose, w’ell roasted, eh? I tell you it’s
the greatest in creation. Ana. Seth,
don’t you never use hog’s fat, or common
cooking butter to baste it with ; come,
take your butter —I mean, Seth, take
your toddy.”
Poor Seth now began to smoke as
well as melt, and his mouth was hermet
ically sealed up. as though he had been
born dumb. Streak after streak of but
ter came pouring from under his hat,
and his handkerchief was already soaked
with the greasy overflow. Talking away
as if nothing had happened, the grocer
kept stuffing wood into the stove, while
poor Seth sat upright, with his back
against the counter, and his knees al
most touching against the red hot fur
nace before.
“Cold night, this,” said the grocer. —
“Why, Seth, you seem to perspire as if
you were warm ? Why don’t you take
your hat off ? Here, let me put your hat
away.”
“ No,” exclaimed poor Seth at last;
“No, I must go. Let me out, I ain’t
well. Let me go.”
A greasy cataract was now pouring
down the poor man’s face and neck, and
soaking into his clqthes, and trickling
down his body into his boots, so he was
literally in a perfect bath of oil.
“Well, good night, Seth, if you will
go,” said the humorous Vermonter, and
adding as he darted out of the door, “Seth,
I reckon the fun I’ve had out of you is
worth nine pence, so I shan’t charge
you for that pound of butter in your
hat.”
The woman who undertook to scour
the forest, gave up the job on account
of the high price of soap. When last
heard of she was skimming the sea.

“ Look Out for the Imposter.”
We find the following communica
tion in the November number of the
St. Louis Freemason, and we publish it
for two reasons:
First, that the imposter may be known,
and be allowed no longer to impose up
on the fraternity or any one else; and
Second, if possible, to obtain more
light upon the matter. We would like
to know how it was that the fellow could
insinuate himself “ into Lodges in dif
ferent portions of the country, and be
come thoroughly acquainted with the
works?” Who is to blame for this?
To us it is something incomprehensible
that any one at this day can insinuate
himself into one Lodge, much less into
many Lodges, as his statement would
lead us to believe. Os a surety there
must have been culpable neglect on the
part of someone when he demanded
admission, or someone willingly lent
himself to the villain’s purposes, thus
becoming a traitor to the O. B.
Cannot some of our Tennessee breth
ren enlighten us in this matter ?

Mr. F. G. TISDALL, Masonic Editor of

Dear Sir —Enclosed find statement
of imposter, you will please publish for
the benefit of the Craft. We have seut
communications to the D. G. M., of
Tennessee, and to the G. M. of Cali
fornia, and that he (Fuller) may some
where be-caught. I am, very truly,

LOOK OUT.
St. Louis, August 12, 1871.
Mr. R. H —, Knoxville :
Dear Sir — I transmit herewith a
statement of all business done by me up
to the time I left Tennessee. It be
comes my duty to give you an explana-*
tion.
Some time since I had a difficulty with
a man who was a “FreeJMason,” and the
unjust manner in which I was treated
by his Lodge, impelled mo to seek re
dress by becoming acquainted with, and
publishing to'the world the mysteries of
the Order. For that purpose I insinu
ated myself into lodges in different por
tions of the country, and became thor
oughly acquainted the work. The
Lodge at Sevierville found me out, and
circumstances compelled me to leave in
debt to the Companion sl6.
W. S. Fuller,
Mt. Star Lodge, No. 197, F. A M.
Sevierville, Tenn., Aug. 26,1871.
The above letter has come to the pos
session of this Lodge. Mr. Fuller was
located at this place for four or five
months as a life insurance agent. He
professed to be a mason, and a member
of Chestnut Grove Lodge, Whitmell,
Virginia. From that lodge we learn
there he attempted to impose himself
upon them, accrediting himself to belong
to Clay Lodge, Lexington, Kentucky.
He attempted to impose himself upuii
the lodge at this place, and was detected
as an imposter, and left hastily and clan
destinely to escape punishment, without
paying his board, aud other debts.
The above letter is for the informa
tion received from him since his depart
ure. He is believed to have gone west
of the Rocky Mountains.
Mr. Fuller is about twenty-five years
of age, medium height, rather slender,
weighs 120 pounds ; his complexion is
dark, black hair and mustache; dresses
well, talks fluently, claims to be of high
origin, and when detected is impudent,
and claims that he has two cousins in
different parts of the country of the
the same name and appearance as him
self. Information of his w hereabouts is
desired and solicited. All papers friendly
to the institution please copy.
I certify that the foregoing is a true
copy of the letter of W. S. Fuller, and
of the proceeding of fountain Star
Lodge No. 197, F A. M., had at a spe
cial communication, held at Sevierville,
Tennessee, Aug. 16, 1871, and ordered
to be published. G. W. Pickle,
Secretary.
God Bless You.—Who has not felt
the power of these words ? Who does
not treasure up those hallowed moments
of the irrevocable past, when from the
lips of some loved one fell upon your
ears a u God bless you ” that found an
echo in the truest heart? A God bless
you, that wiil go with us through life,
and bring peace and comfort when all
things else are shrouded in gloom, and
no joys seems awaiting the heart so long
acquainted with sorrow. Dying lips in
feeble accents have murmurred “ God
bless you.” It greets the ear of in
fancy and reclaims the w T ayward youth.
It has been heard at the bridal altar and
said at the tomb. Loved voices breathed
it in our ears when we parted, and the
sound still lingers to cheer our saddened
hearts. Oh ! may we hear it through
life, and when we stand on the brink of
those waters which flow between time
and eternity, may the last words that
break upon our listening ears be the
God bless you which comes from the
lips of luved oues left behind.

O
Educated Lat>or.
The builders and architects of our
ancient fraternity have left us a bright
memorial of the value and worth of
skill and artisans who were educated in
the fine conceptions of art and the de
velopement of science. The great mon
uments of their handiwork in the form
of cathedrals and abbeys still stand to
tell of an age that has passed. With
but very few opportunities for education,
they rose above the people of their own
times and accomplished wonders.
They stamped the seal of dignity up
on the workman’s profession, and we
trust the day will never come when it
will be obliterated.
Let any one go through the thousand
avenues of industrial life, watch closely
the native intelligence combined with
education that is necessary to make a
complete workman in almost any branch
of the trades. The apprentice b*y, who
at the age of fifteen or sixteen, goes to
the trade of his choice armed with a fair
education, soon passes by the one who
has learned comparatively nothing. The
one grasps the idea with a cultivated in
telligence, while the other arrives at it
ploddingly and mechanically. The one
loves his work for the beauty there is
in it, the other merely drags along at it
because he can do no better. The one
finishes up his job in a neat and satis
factory manner to all concerned, while
the other, in most cases, is slovenly and
a botch. It is to the educated mechan
ic that the world is indebted for all that
beautifies it outside of the garniture of
nature. To him all are indebted for the
conveniences and manufactured comforts
of life, from the finely tempered needle
of the seamstress, to the powerful en
gine that transport millions of people
over land and water.
The world of man seldom pauses to
reflect upou the multiplied advantages
ot skilled and educated labor which
ministers to their thousand wants at al
most every moment of their lives.—
Without it the world stands still. An
nihilate it, and we are at once trans
planted back to the ages of barbarism,
and as the majority of mankind are not
independently rich, the vast majority of
apprentices must come from the ranks
of those in ordinary circumstances,
hence the wisdom of that system which
taxes the wealthy for the free education
of all. It comes back to the rich in
the manifold blessings of advanced arts
and sciences which reproduce and in
crease the comforts of all. Labor is
honorable and God-like, for God him
self is the laborer of the universe.—

What Makes the Man ?— What
is it that makes a man ? £lan y ou tell ?
We can tell you what does not. Good
clothes do not; learning does not. \ou
must have something else to make a
man of. We have seen a good descrip
tion of man, which reads thus :
A beautiful soul and lov'ng mind,
Full of affection for its kind;
A helper of the human race,
A soul ot beauty and of grace ;
That truly speaks of God within,
And never make a league with ain.
This is the kind of man worth some
| thing in the world. We want a great
! many more such men than we have now.
Will you not strive to be such a man ?
A Beautiful ThouuhtWhen
the summer ot youth i.* slowly wasting
away in the nightfall of age, and the
past becomes deeper and deepor,
and life wears to its close, it is
pleasant to look through the vista of
time upon the sorrows and felicities of
our earlier years. If we have a home
to shelter, and hearts to rejoice with us
and friends have been gathered together
around our firesides, the rough places
wurfaring will have been worn and
smoothed away, in the twilight of life,
whjle many dark spots we have puaeed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are those whose
intercourse with the world has not
changed the tone of their holier feel
ings. or broken those musical chords of
the heart, whose vibrations are so melo
dious, so tender and so touching in the
evenin'? of life.
If God gave you genius ; if God gave
you tender sensibility; if God gave you
love for music, and love for literature,
he did not give you these things as so
many feathers put into the nest of self
ishness, to be pressed by your breast
alone. God gave you those royal lights
that you might use them, first for your
selves and then also for others. You
are joined to your kind ; and if you
like your Father in Heaven, who
“ maketh His sun to rise on the evil
and the good, and sendeth ruin on the
just and the unjust;” if you have all
the excollencies, while they are build
ing you up in refinement and virtue,
they will at the same time lead you to
pity those who are in transgression.—

you would know their whole strength
—of what you are capable, throw them
overboard. Over with them, and if
they are worth saving they will swim
ashore of themselves,
