lIOW TO LIVE.
He liveth long who liveth well !
All other life is short and vain,
He liveth longest who can tell
Of Jjving most for heavenly gain.
He liveth long who liveth well!
All else is being flung away j
He liveth longest who can tell
Of true things truly done each day,
Waste not thy being; back to Him
Who freely gave it. freely give ;
Else is that being but a dream—
’Tis but to be, and uot to live.
Be wise and use thy wisdom well ;
Who wisely speaks must live it too,
He is the wisest who can tell
How first lie lived, then spoke the true.
Be what thou seemest ; live thy creed ;
Hold up <0 earth the torch divine ;
Be what thou prayest to be made;
Let the great master’s steps be thine.
Fill up each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they go :
The life above when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap
Who sows the false shall reap in vain ;
Erect and sound thy conscience keep ;
From hollow words and deeds refrain. ’
Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure ;
Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright ;
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And fi and the harvest home of light.
THE MECHANIC’S WIFE.
A Father’s Lesson. •
Three ladies were seated in a rich,
furnished apartment. They were Misses
Amanda and Emma Ellis, and their
cousin. Delilah Carleton. The latter
was engaged iu the womanly work of
sewing ; the two former in di cussing,
critically, a ball at which all three had
been present the preceding evening.
“ I don’t like that Mr. Barton at all,”
said Miss Amanda, continuing the con
versation.
“ Nor me either,” said Miss Emma
who was the eldest.
“ And why not, cousins ?” asked De\
lilah, I’m sure he is handsome enough—
is he not V’
“ Yes ; but ”
“ Eut what, coz ?” said she to Emma,
who had spoken last. “ Surely his
manners arc pleasing, and his language
polished—without, affectation.”
“ Yes, yes, but for all that he is vul
gar"—said Emma, pettishly, “ vulgar
in his ideas.”
“ Vulgar !’’ exclaimed Delilah, “ you
must again- allow me to differ with you,
coz,” she continued, looking at her
cousin’s face with a winning smile, “ I
think he is quite refined —more so than
Mr. Price or Mr. Brown, and many of
the other gentlemen.”
“ Only think of comnaring Mr. Bar
ton with Mr. Price and Mr. Brown
two gentlemen ! exclaimed 31 Es Aman
da Ellis. u Why Mr. Barton is a me
chanic /”
“ Well, suppose he is dear,” said her
cousin, “ does that make him vu’gar or
less respectable ? For my part I think
a mechanic can be as much of a gentle
man, in the true sense of the word, as a
millionaire.
“ Well I declare, cousin Lile, you do
have some of the funniest notions; ” just
for the world like pa ; he thinks one
man just as good as another, though he
be a laborer.”
“ Yes,” said Emma, “ I do wish he
would bo more circumspect, and find
better company for his daughters than
mechanics. It is his fault that that Mr.
Barton comes here ; he gives him such
pressing invitations. 1 suppose he wants
me, or you, Amanda. Wouldn’t it make
a fine paragraph for the papers ?—Miss
Amanda (or Emma),daughter of James
Ellis, merchant, to Mr. Charles Barton,
mechanic. Oh dear?” And the spoil
ed beauty (for both sisters possessed
great personal attractions) threw her -
self back upon the sofa and laughed
heartily, as also did her sister.
‘•-Well, well, girls,” said Mr. Ellis,
who, hidden by the half-opened door,
had been an unobserved listener to the
conversation, and who now entered the
room, “you may laugh now, but yon
may live to regret that you did not try
to obtain Mr. Barton for a husband.
Mark that,” and the old gentleman,tak
ing up his hat left the apartment.
“ Who would have thought that pa
was listening !” said Miss Amanda,
“ but I don't care.”
“ I declare, if there is not Mr. Barton
on the steps !” said Miss Emma, who
was looking through the blinds. “Come,”
she said, addressing ler sister, “let
us go up staiis into the parlor, and leave
cousin Lile to entertain him ; it will be
a pleasure to her, for she is partial to
mechanics,” and the sisters left the
room.
The object of the foregoing conversa
tion was a young man whom Mr. Ellis
had introduced to his daughters, and
neice, some months bef re, as a master
mechanic. But, unlike their father,
who valued a man for his character, and
not for his money, the Misses Ellis were
great sticklers for respectability—their
standard for which was riches —and the
consequence was, as we have seen, tha\
Mr Barton did not stand any too high
in their good graces. Mr. Ellis knew
this false estimate of respectability was
a predominant fault in his daughters’
characters, and he determined to give
them a practical and salutary lesson.
How he succeeded the sequel of our sto
ry will show.
A few moments after the sisters had
left the room Mr, Barton entered
He was about the middle height, with
a fine figure, regular features, and an
intelligent countenance. His eyes were
of deep blue—his eyebrows finely arch
ed, and his forehead high and white,
from which the jet black hair was push
ed back displaying its fine proportions.
He was certainfy a handsome man,
which fact,even the Misses Ellis did not
attempt to deny,and the ease and pobte
ness with which he greeted Miss Carle-*
ton spoke his claim to that which the
lady herself had awarded him—the ti
tle of a gentleman.
lie was soon seated and conversing:
• . . O
with Delilah. Delilah Carleton was a
charming girl. It is true she did not
possess the exquisite proportions, and
regular features of her two cousins, but
then there was ever a sunny smile upon
her face, and a cheerful sparkle in her
clear light blue eye, and she had such a
light and bounding spirit, that made
her appear, if not as beautiful as her
cousins, at least more bewitching ; at
least so thought Mr Barton,as he gazed
upon her laughing countenance. How
much better, thought he, to possess her
for a wife, dependent as she is upon her
uncle,and dowerless ns she would be,
than either of the Misses Ellis, with
their spoiled temper and their fortune.
Thinking thus, is it to be wondered at
that he went away with a half formed
determination to win her love if it lay
within his power.
When Deli'ah appeared at the din
ner table, that day, many were the
meaning and inquisitive glance her
cousins cast upon her. At last, unable
to restra : n their loved habit of “run
ning” their cousin, they spoke.
“ I hope you spent a very pleasant
morning, cousin,” said Miss Amanda,
with a mock arch look.
“ Avery interesting tete-a-tete, was
it not V’ whispered Emma across the
table.
“ I spent the morning very
ly,” answered Delilah, blushing slight
] y-
“ Oh ! I dare say,” said Emma, sar_
castically, “ I suppose he gave you a
dissertation on mechanics, did he not,
coz ?”
Well, and suppose he did ?” said
Mr. EHis, who had been patiently listen
ing, but in whose honest face the color
now rose. “Is it not better to listen to
that than to the senseless conversation
and sickly sentiments, drawled out in
affected tones by the foplings. halt men,
half monkeys,who disgrace humanity ?”
and the old man cast a look upon his
daughters that made them quail be
neath it.
“ But never mind, Lile,” he contin
ued in a softer voice, and patting his
niece’s rosy cheek, “ never mind, Mr.
Barton is worth three or four such
would-be gentlemen as Mr. Price and
31 r. Brown, and in more ways than one.
Mark that girls ! lie is"worth two or
three such in more ways than one.”
The last sentence he addres ed to his
daughters.
Days, weeks, and months rolled* by,
and 31 r. Barton had become a frequent
visitor at 3lr. Ellis’. It was very evi
dent that he was paying particular ats
tention to Delilah Carleton,and it was
also plain to see that they were not un>
acceptable. This fact furnished an am
ple subject for the sisters’ sarcastic re
marks. As for their father, whenever
they indulged in them in his presence a
knowing smile would play upon his face,
and he wouid repeat to them his assers
tions that they would some day wish
they had obtained Mr. Barton for a
husband.
Thus things continued for some time.
At length one morning, about three
months subsequent to the period when
our story commenced, Mr. Ellis enter
ed the parlor where his two daughters
were sitting, with a light step and spark
ling eye.
“ Weil, girls, what do you think of
it ?” said he. rubbing his hands in a
glee.
“ What ?” asked both young ladies
in a breath.
“ The wedding we’re going to have.”
“ The wedding ! what wedding 1”
“ Your cousin’s.”
“ Delilah’s ?”
“Yes. She is going to honor the
mechanic with her hand. What do you
think of it, ha ?”
“ I don’t tliink much of it,” said
Emma with a toss of her head.
“ Nor I,” said Amanda.
“ You don’t, eh ! Well, suppose I
was to tell you she was going to marry
a man worth two hundred thousand
dollars, would that alter your opinions ?”
•• Why, what do you mean, pa ?”
“Listen! and I will tell you,girls,”
said the old gentleman, casting upon his
daughters a grave, and somewhat stern
hok “ The father of Barton, to whom
your cousin is soon to be married, was
an old friend; we were playmates
in boyhood. Le was apprenticed to the
carpenter trade about the same time I
entered the counting-house. Soon alter
he had finished learning his trade he
went to the city of Baltimore, and there
started business for himself, there
he married. Being possessed of genius,
and having a good education, from a
master mechanic and builder he became
an architect; amassed a large fortune.
Knowing the reverse of fortune to which
all are liable, he resolved to make his
only son, Charles, a good architect, so
that if ever the ‘ fickle lame ’ should de
sert him he would have wherewith to
earn honestly his daily bread. He suc
ceeded. A year or two ago he died,
leaving his son his whole fortune
—his wife being already dead, and
Charles being an only son. About six
months ago Charles came to this city
on a visit. He called upon me as his
father’s friend. In the course of con
versation I asked why he was not mar
ried. He said that he had never yet
met with a young lady whom he thought
worthy of calling his wife,that he found
enough who would marry him lor the
sake of his money, but he would never
marry such a one, I told him I would
introduce him to some of o'Ctr city ladies,
and see'if he could find one among tbCm
to suit him. He required then that I
should conceal his wealth, and introduce
him only as a master mechanic. I ac-
quiesced, but knowing your false esti
male oi respectability, I embraced the
opportunity to teach you a lessen which
1 sincerely hope will have a salutary in
fluence. I kuew when I b ought him
home with me, and introduced him that
neither of y ou would be chosen, because
you were certain you could not stoop so
low as to marry a master mechanic ; but
the event will soon take place that I
easily foresaw. Your cousin knew nolh
b)g whatever of her wealth until to-day.
L see you look surprised, girls, but did
I n °t tell you you would be sorry some
that you did not obtain him for a
husband ? And did I not tell you he
was worth two or three such ninny ham
mers as 31r. Price and 3lr. Brown, in
more ways than one ? Remember girls,
that wealth is a fa ! se standard by which
to judge of respectability and worth.
Not that a rich man may not be respect
able, but that he who earns his daily
bread by the sweat of his brow, is more
of a gentleman than be who counts his
thousands.”
And they remembered it. For in af
ter years tin y showed ill their choice of
husbands that they had not forgotten
their honest old father’s lesson.
How the Picture Was Taken.
Her “ young man ” went west some
months ago, and is diligently engaged
iu growing up with the country. To
exhibit his progress, in his last letter
he sent on his picture. Bhe supposed
she was in duty bound to return him
one of herself, so she persuaded her
dad to bring her iu yesterday and
have the likeness struck off.” They
went into Atlanta’s best gallery, on
Whitehall street,and the old man, who
had taken several drinks of enthusiasm
in the cause, remarked to the artist:
“ Look ’ere, 3lister Picturesquer,
I’ve brought our Julia up hyar to hav’
her facksimiler tuk for her bo’ whats
out into Texas. The ole ’ooman’s primp
ped her up fitten to give a young colt the
blind staggers. She’s my brag ga),
you bet yer scopes on it! an’ we want
ter hav’ a big tin pictur’ of her made
that’ll cost nine cents postage to kerry
it, or we don’t want none at all !”
“ All right, my dear sir; have seats !”
repled the polite photographer.
While the artist prepared for the
work Julia reMisposed her crimps and
worked her face up into a gorgeous
smile.
“ All ready ! Let us seat you here,
Miss,” said the artist.
“ All aboard, Julie plump right
down in that parlor cheer in front o’
the hat rack, and iuind yer don’t blink
any !” ordered the old man
“ There ! That’s right! No, face a
little to the right—look right here !
Stid now.”
The cloth was removed, and just
then Julie thought “ how allfired sweet
she’d look in a pietur,” and despite
herself, the corners of her mouth tried
to elimp up her cheek-bones. The artist
turned and closed the camera, entered
his closet, but soon returned without any
picture.
“ Whar’s the pietur —gimme a
squint! Lor, Jule, i wish yer granny
war alive ter see one of yer picture
grafs!”
“The bicture is spoiled I regret to
say. The young lady smiled just a’;
the wrong moment,” explained the
artist.
“Thar new, Jule, d’ye hear that.
Jist flop yerself down thar again, mis
ter — take another view. I’m bound
ter hev’ that i icture or bust sunthin’l”
“ I coulden’t hope it. pap —it felt so
funny, it did,” Julie simpered.
“ Felt funny, eh ? Weli, yer won’t
feel so funny, 1 reckin', ef I take tliet
spiled pietur and pos‘ it to yer feller,
with yer mouth run in’ round yer face
like a ripp’d seam in a sack o’ coru
hay V’
Jure plumped down in the chair,
at the artist’s request, but lo iked mad.
“ Brighten up thar, gal, or I’ll jerk
yer down right hyar and ontie thet
tied-back in less’n no time; an’ then
I’ll send thet pietur’ to Ilube, by gum,
an’ let’ him see how he likes yer looks,
with yer hungry mouth reachiu’ round
to chaw yer right ear off ! v\ hoa ! sted
dy, now 1”
At this shot the picture was struck,
but made Julie look as solemn as a
girl trying to think up> a composition
on “Death.”
Forgiveness.
Frequently in listening to the conver
sation of young men and maidens, this
question suggests itself : \Y here do
many of the youth of our day get the
tenets ot religiou ? Not from the Bible
or our pulpits, for they teach charity,
mercy and forgiveness. These beauti"
ful qualities are seolied by some, and in
their places sffflove aud resentment
made tutelary divinities. Not long ago
we heard a sweet young girl in appear"
ance.who reminded us of the poet’s lines
—“The lose is fairest when ’tis budding
new,” —talking in the most enthusiast"
ic manner on the subject of forgiveness.
“ She might pardon an offence, but she
never forgot it; she had too much se'L
respect not to remember and resent an
insult to her feelings.” Self-respect!
That very quality’ should teach us the
heroism of forgiveness. \ anity and
selfishness cause us to harbor resentment,
but self-respect should make us God"like
in virtue ; and if it be necessary to re"
sent an insult, we can heap coals of fire
upon the head of the offender.
tes and Aristotle, who lived and died
heathens, could instruct many who pro
fess Christianity in morality and true
virtue, which forgives as it hopes to be
forgiven. Only those who teach and
! practice the beautiful lesson of charity
I and peace and good will toward men,are
| the true men aud women of any ago. —

Stonewall Jackson's Doaih-llcd.
Dr. Iluuter .McGuire, who attended
Stonewall Jackson during his last hours,
has published a full account of the eveut,
Horn which following extract is made :
About daylight on Sunday morning
31rs. Jackson informed him that his re
j covery was very doubtful, and that it
I was better that he should be prepared
| f°r the wor.-t. lie was silent for a mo-
I ment, and then said,* It will be infinite

| advised his wife, in the event of his
death, to return to her father’s house,
and added ; ‘ 3. ou have a kind and good
father,but there is no one so kind and good
as your Heavenly father.' He still ex
pressed a hope of his recovery, but re
quested her, if he should die to have
him buried iu Lexingtou, in the Valley
of "Virginia. His exhaustion increased
so rapidly that at 11 o'clock Mrs Jackson
knelt by his bed and told h ui that
before the sun went down he .vould be
with his Saviour. lie replied,“ Oh, no ;
you are frightened, my child. Death is
not so near. I may yet get well.’ She
fell over the bed, weeping bitterly, and
told him again that the physicians said
there was no hope. After a moment’s
pause he asked her to call mo.’ Doctor,
Anna informs me that you have told her
that I am todie to day ; is it so ?’ When
he was answered he turned eyes toward
the ceiling and gazed for a moment or
two, as if iu intense thought, then re
plied : ‘ Very good, very good : it is all
right.’ He then tried io comfort his
almost heartbroken wife, and told her
he had a good deal to say to her, but
he was too weak. Colonel Pendleton
came into the room about one o’clock,
and he asked him, ‘Who was preaching
at headquarters today ?’ When told
that the whole army was praying for
him he replied : Thank God ! they are
very kind.’ He said: ‘lt is the Lord’s
day. My wish is fulfilled ; I have al
ways desired to die on (Sunday. ’ llis
mind now began to fail and wander, and
he frequently talked as if iu command
upon the field, giving orders in his old
way ; then the scene shifted, and ho was
at the mess table in conversation with
members of his staff, now with his wife
and child, now at prayers with his mil
itary family. Occasional intervals of
return of his mind .vould appear, and
curing one of them I offered him some
brandy and water, but he declined it,
saying, ‘lt will only delay my departure
and do no good ; I want to [ reserve my
mind to the last if possible.” About
he was told that he had but two
hours to Jive, and he answered again
feebly but firmly : ‘Very good; it is all
right.’ A few moments before he died
he cried out in his delirium : ‘Order A.
P. Hill to prepare for action !’ ‘Pass the
infantry to the fernt rapidly !’ ‘Tell
3lajor Hawks ’ then stopped, leav
ing the sentence unfinished. Presently a
smile of ineffable sweetness spread it
self over his pale face.and he said quiet
ly and with an expression as if of relief:
‘Let us pass over river and rest under
the shade of the trees ;’ and then, with
out pain or the least struggle,his spirit
passed from earth to the God who
gave it.”
Better Than Nothing.
A good old Methodist lady, very
particular and very pious, once kept a
boarding-house in Boston. Staunch to
her principle she wou and not take any one
to board who did not hold to the eternal
punishment of a largo portion of the
race. But the people were more intent
on carnal comforts than spiritual health,
so that in time her house became empty,
much to he grief aud alarm.
After some time a bluff old sea-captain
knocked at the door, aud the old lady
answered the call.
“ Servant, ma’am Can you give me
board for two or three days ? Got my
ship here, and shall be off soon as I
load.”
“ Wa al, I don’t know,” said the old
lady.
“ Oh, house full, eh ?”
“ No, but—”
“ But what, ma’am ?”
“ 1 don’t taka any unclean or
carnal people in my house. What do
you believe ?”
“ About what ?”
“ Why, do you believe any one will
be condemed ?”
“Oh, thunder! yes.”
“Do you,” said the good woman,
brightening up. “ Well, how many
souls do yon thiuk will be in fire eter
nally ?”
“ Don’t know, ma’am, really—never
calculated that.”
“Can’t you guess?”
“ Can’t say—perhaps fifty- thousand.”
“ Wa’ai hem !” mused the good wo
man ; ” I guess I’ll take yau ; fifty
thousand is bette r than nothing.”
Wowan’s Voice. —How consoling
to the mind oppressed by heavy sorrow
is the voice of an amiable woman !
Like sacred music, it imparts to the soul
a feeling of celestial sereuity, aud, as a
gentle zephyr, refreshes the senses
with its soft and mellifluous tones.
Riches may avail much in the hour of
affliction ; ttio friendship of man may
alleviate for a time the bitterness woe ;
but the angelic voice of producing a last
ing effect on the heart, and communi
cates a sensation of delicious composure
which the mind had raver before
experienced, even in the moments of its
highest and most joyous felicity.
While yer are seein the fli as plane
as you ever see any thing, all at
once its not there. Then the tode he
looks up at you solcm, out of hiz ize,
like he sed wat’s come of dat fly, but
yer kuo lie ot it.

It is a great mistake with tnanv of our
; people; in judging that to raise cotton,oi
j corn, and wheat, and to turn out wares
j and goods from the loom, the forge and
i the foundry, is all that wo can do hero
jin Georgia. Vet a great deal more of
this kind ol thing should be done. As
| much as the writer loves his dinner, he
I almost loses his appetite, daily, walking
through the freight depot of the West!
ei u and Atlantic railroad, and seeing
I tie piles and nests ot tubs, pails, rolling
pins, wash boards.potato mashers,clothes
puis, plows, a churns, horse buckets, sugar
boxes, knife boxes, leruou 'Squeezers,

etc.
But there arc other agricultural pro
ducts, as weli as manufactured articles
of utility,it would pay us to turn our at
tention to. Take for instance, our im
portation of silk goods, which now
amount yearly to thirty millions. During
the war, the writer examined some beau
tiful silk which was manufactured in
Troupe county, by a young lady. Why
should not its manufacture be entered
into, end it become an important indus
try in Georgia ? Teas have been culti
vated successfully in the State ; perhaps
the only trouble in making it profitable
would bo the high price of labor, com
pared with its cost iu Chiua. Why
should net the cultivation of the castor
bean, and the manufacture of oil, pay?
The honey crop of California will
soon be more valuable than the sugar
and molasses of Louisiana, Texas and
Florida combined. Will it not remu
nerate some of our people to embark in
(he business ?
There are other profitable industries,
which our people might take hold of,
which would diversify outf agriculture
and augment the wealth of Georgia.—

The Art'ol* Education. 1
Fuseli’s knowledge of art was exten
sive, but he react at the Academy while
his pupils drew, and seldom opened his
lips. “ I believe,” says Mr. Leslie, “ho
was right.” For those fffcae*o'fH& wild
are born with powers that will n ako
them eminent, it is sufficient to place
fine works before them. They do not
want instruction, and those that do are
not worth it. Art may be learned, but
it cannot be taught.” He once told
Chantrey that he hai a young friend
who would be glad to study with him.
“I cm teach him nothing,"said Chant
rey, “ let him come to the Academy.”
“ He does, but is he to learn the use of
the chisel ?” “ Any stone mason cau
teach him that better than I can. lie
must become a workman before he can
be a sculptor. One great fault of our
sculptors is that few of them are work
men.” What Leslie affirmed of paint
ing, and Chantrey of sculpture is true
of every pursuit under the sun. The
great art of education, it has been just
ly and admirably said, is to teach others
t) teach themselves. Nor did Constable
intend to contradict the maxim when
h; Asserted that “ a self-taught man
had a very ignorant fellow for his mass
ter,” for by self-taught he meant a pers
son who should have opportunity of see
ing what his predecessors had accom
plished, and wou ! d therefore be reduced
to the results of his own discoveries.—

How to Educate a Wife. —A De
troiter of liberal education ha3 been
greatly annoyed because his wife and
other women were not better posted on
history and other matters connected with
the growth and welfare of the country.
The other day he carried home a big
history and handed it to his spouse,with
the remark :
“ There, Mary, I want you com.
mence at page one and see if you can’t
learn something.”
She agreed to become his pupil, and
when he came home to supper he found
her reading away, hair down, slippers
on, all the fires out but one, and no sign
of supper.
“Why, how is thb ?” he inquired,
“ are you sick ?”
“ Sick ! No.”
“ Well, where is my supper V*
“ I don’t know anything about your
supper,” she replied, settling back in
her chair, “ but I can tell you all about
the first discovery of Florida as straight
as a string.”
That history hast not been open'
since that evening.
Why She stopped Her Ptiper.
She came bounding through the sanc
tum door like a cannon ball/ and with
out pausing to say, “how d’ye and ? ,f she
brought her brella down on the table
with a mighty crash, and shouted :
“ I went to stop my paper.”
“ All right madam.”
“ Stop it right off, too,” she persisted,
whackiug the table again, “for I ka\o
waited long enough for you to do the
square thing.”
She quieted down for a moment, as
we ran our finger down the list of names
and when we reached hers and scratched
it out, she said :
“ There ; now you’ll do as
you’d ought to after this, and not slight
a woman jest, ’cause she’s poor. If some
rich lolh’S* happen to have a little red
handed, bandy legged, squint eyed,
wheezy squaller born to them, you puff
it to the skies aud make it out a angel *
but when poor people have a baby don’t
say a word about it, even if it is the

headed,little kid that ever kept a woman
