THE HILLS OF GOO.
’Tis like a narrow valley land.
This earthly way of mine ;
Before me, clad in glory grand,
I see the hills divine—
Those heights the saintly long have trod—
The hills of hope, the Hills of God 1
Though mists of doubt enfold me in.
Though through the dark I grope.
The upward path my feet may win
That mounts the heavenly slope;
And walking through the lowlands here
I know the Hills of God aro near.
Unto them oft I lift mine eyes,
That oft with tears are wet.
And through the mist they calmly rise
Where suu no more shall set.
To me forever grand and fair
The Hills of God—my Help is there!

CHILDHOOD.
BY OKORGK D. PRKNTIOK. •%
’Tis sad, yet sweet to listen \
To the soft wind’s gentle swell; |
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved so well; i
To gaze out on ihe eve,
And the boundless fields of air. j
And feel again our boyhood’s wish, t
To roam like angers there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past.
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely.
So fair to look upon.
m
Those bright and gentle maidens, J.I
Who seemed so formed for bliss. *V
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this;
Whose dark, soft eyes seem’d swimming
In a sea of liquid light; /
And whose looks of gold were streaming^
O’er brows so sunny bright.
Like the brighte- t buds of summer ,
They have fallen Irom the stem ; jjf
Yes, oh, it is a lovely dream, i
To fade from earth like them. |
And yet the thought is saddening, V
To muse on suoh as they, \
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away 1
That the lair ones whom we love.
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of the clinging vine, J
And perish whore they rest.

THE YOUNG ASTRONOMER.
January 23.
Lyra has perhaps sunk out of sight to most
readers, by seven o'clock to night. The
Cross is standing on our Northwest horizon,
and will soon be hidden from us at this hour.
The Great Square is low down in the West.
The Whale fills a large share to the South
west. The eyes of the Whale can be easily
found. Look at the Seven Stars, and the
two Btars in the eyes of Aries. Now find the
spot which with these, will form an equal
sided triangle. There will be found two
stars, about four degrees apart, forming the
Whale's eyes. They are now nearly on our
meridian. The brightest star in the Whale,
is his heart. Th is is about seventeen degrees
from his eyeß. A line from Pleiades to the
eyes of Ihe Whale, prolonged will pass very
near to the Heart. The wouderful star,
(Mira) is about halfway from the western
eye to the Heart. It may not be visible be
fore the Whale is hidden in the sun’s rays
after sunset.
The Great Dipper ib low down in the
Tly upper end ojlthe Pirner is
made up of two bright stars of seeonamagm-'
tud«, which always point towards the North
Star. The handle of the Dipper is partly
cut off by the horizon, to most of our young
readers.
A perpendicular from the Twin’s heads to
the eastern horizon, will pass through Cancer.
In the middle of Cancer, there is a small
cluster ot stars, faintly visible. These con
stilute the Bee Hive. You will notice how
much of his brilliancy Mars has lost, in the
last few weeks. His little Moons, which
were discovered a few months ago, are now
out of reach of all except the largest tele
scopes. J. H. C.
A BUSHEL OP NUTS.
“Phinl oh, Phin /”
Little Eben Dilke began saying that at the
end of the lane, though he must have known
his brother could not possibly hear him, and
kept on all the way until he reached the door
where Phin stood whittling. By that time
Eben was so out of breath he could only
stand gasping.
‘■Try again, boy,” said Phin, thumping
him on the back. “I suppose you have
something to say.”
“O, Phin said Eben again, “Mr. Sum
ner said he will give us one of his little dogs
if we pay him.”
“How much ?” asked Phin, without ex
citement. “I’ve got just seven cents.”
“’Tisn’t money, it’s nuts,” said Eben.
“A bushel of chestnuts, for the dog.” .. v ,
Phin’s eyes sparkled. He had long Want
ed one of the roly poly puppies that tumbled
and played about Mr. Sumner's handsome
Folly. But having no means to purchase
one, he had tried not to think about it. Now
he shut his knife briskly.
“Come on, boy,” he said. “If a bushel
of chestnuts will do it, I'm on hand.”
However, chestnut trees were not plenty
near Phiu's home, and a week later he lay
on the hillside grumbling.
“That puppy will be a grown-up dog and
gray-haired before we can get him. It’s no
use, Eben.”
The little brother looked sober; but did
not mean to give up.
“We have quite a good many nuts, now,”
he said.
“Not a third enough," said Phin.
“Over to Scranton’s woods there are
enough.”
“Six miles away,” muttered Phin.
“If Trudie’a grandma’ll just let ns ride old
Dapple bare-backed over there and carry a
bag, we could do it. And maybe she will.
We helped Trudie pick blackberries, you
know.”
“Eben, you’re a smart boy !” cried Phin.
“Come on.”
Perhaps Trudie’s grandma would not have
let old Dapple go had not Trudie whispered
more than one “please” in her ear. But
she did consent. So the next day the old
horse was astonished to find four short legs
astride his back, and to be trotted slowly
toward Scranton’s woods. *
Phin held the bridle and Eben held Phin’s
jacket, and they sat on a folded blanket. It
wasn’t quite so easy to stick on as the boys
had expected, and going up the first, steep
hill Eben slipped off over Dapple’s tail and
fell in a mud puddle. But he climbed on by
help of the nearest fence, and never cried.
Chestnuts were plenty in those woods, and
the boys were glad to hammer them out of
the prickly burrs and fill their bags, in spite
of feeling Btifi from their ride. And when,
as they were about going home, they met
another small boy and bought his nuts with
a leather sucker and three cents Phin had in
his pocket, they felt very grand indeed.
Three miles of the homeward way were
passed, when a stray dog, helping to bring
somebody’s cows home, sprang barking out
of the bushes at Dapple’s nose.
Up went the old horse’s heels and off went
the boys, and then away trotted Dapple to-
ward home, leaving his riders flat on their
backs.
“But the nuts are safe,” said brave little
Eben, scrambling up, and eyeing the pre
cious bag that had also come to the ground.
“Safe and heavy,” said Phin, tugging it
up. “If we’ve got to walk and carry this all
the rest of the way, I think we don't buy
that dog very cheap.”
It was hard work. Both boys were almost
crying with fatigue when they got home; but
when supper and sleep had cured their stiff
limbs, and the bushel of nuts was exchanged
for the dear little dog, you may be sure they
did not repent of their bargain.
“You might call him Pluck,” said Mr.
Sumner, who had heard of their toil to earn
him.
Eben fondled the puppy’s round head and
answered:
“I think we’ll call him Nuts /”
Aud so they did.— Youth's Companion.

HORSE FEED. 1
Every good groom knows that sound oat!
and beans and peas in due proportion and all
least a year old, are the very beßt food for al
galloping horse —the only food on which it|
is possible to get the best condition out of al
race horse or a hunter. It also has recently]
become known that horses do slow work, and]
get fat, indeed tco fat, on maize, Indian corn,f
which is frequently one-third cheaper than i
the best oats. In the east, horses at e fed on
barley, and it is a popular idea with English
officers who have lived in Persia and Syria
that the change of food from barley to oats,
often, when imported, produces blindness in
Arabian horses. Now, although no men
understand better or so well how to get blood
horses into galloping condition as English
grooms, they do not, and few of their mas
ters do, know the reason why oats and beans
are the best food for putting muscular flesh
on a horse. The agricultural chemist steps
in here, makes the matter very plain, and
shows that if you want pace Indian corn, al
though nominally cheaper, is not cheap at
all. When we feed a bullock, a sheep, or a
pig, for sale, after it has passed the store
stage, we want to make it fat as quickly and
as cheaply as possible; but with a horse for
work the object is, give him muscle —in com
mon language, hard flesh. There are times
when it is profitable lo make a horse fat, as,
for instance, when he is going up for sale.
For this purpose an addition of about a
pound and a half of oil cake to his ordinary
food has a good effect. It is especially use
ful when a horse that has been closely clipped
or singed is in a low condition. It helps on
the change to the new coat by making him
fat. A horse in low condition changes his
coat very slowly.
When from any cause there is difficulty in
getting a supply of the best oats, an excel
lent mixture may be made of crushed maize
and beans, in proportion to two thirds of
maize and one of beans, which exactly affords
the proportion of fleeh forming and fat form
ing food. Bran is a very valuable food in a
stable for reducing the inflammatory effects
of oats and beans. Made into mashes it has
a cooling and laxative effect, but used in ex
cess, especially in a dry state, it is apt to
form stony secretion in the bowels of the
horse. Stones produced from the excessive
use of bran have been taken out of horses
after death weighing many pounds— London
Live Stock Journal.
EATING BETWEEN MEALS.
The custom of ealing at all times, with no
to the real of
denoted by real hanger, cannot be too plain
ly censured. Nature loves regularity in all
matters, and yet in no resppet is the want of
it more manifestly injurious than in the mat
ter of taking our food, especially by the
young. Os course, the young may take food
more frequently Ihan adults, and yet they do
not need it at all times—just when they hap
pen to think of it, or have no other business
on hand. Much of the irritability, the wake
fnlness at night, feverishness, the sourness
of stomach and of the disposition, may be
fairly attributed to this over eating, the
lunches, and the use of improper food, more
particularly at bed time. From the age of
about one and a half or two years to eight it
may be advisable, if they really feel hungry,
to allow a plain lunch in the middle of the
forenoon and afternoon, but all beyond this
can but prove harmful and lay the foundation
of dyspepsia. When children refuse this
plain food and demand “nice food,” such as
pastry, there is good evidence that no food is
really needed, that they simply wish indul
gence, pleasing the palate— Home Guardian.
READING IN THE HOME CIRCLE.
Good books and newspapers should be
angels in every household. They are urns
to bring us the golden fruits of thought and
experience from oth»r lands. As the fruits
of the earth’s soil are the most enjoyed
around the family board, so should those
that mature upon moral and mental boughs
be gathered aronnd by the entire household.
No home exercise could be more appropri
ate and pleasing than for one member to read
aloud for the benefit of all. An author’s
ideas are energized by the confidence and
love of the tender family affections, and
every heart is open to the truth, like the
unfolded rose, to receive the gathering dews.
The ties of love between parents and chil
dren, and brothers and sisters, are thus ce
mented more and more, and varied charms
and pleasures are constantly open through
this medium to make a home a very para
dise. If the parents would introduce this
exercise iu their families, they would soon
see the levity and giddiness that make up the
conversation f>{ too many circles giving
away to refinement and chaste dignity. Read
to your children, and encourage them to read
to you, instead of reading your papers and
books in silence and laying them away.
The Cali.a Lily as a House Plant.—The
calla lily, roots of which may be procured of
any florist, is one of our finest plants for
house growing when properly treated. The
best method we have tried is to procure an
earthen jar, suitably decorated on the out
side, if desired, by painting or pasting on of
frieze or flower pictures, or by a paper open
work covering. In this, place rich mould
some five or six inches deep, and in this set
the calla plant. Now put on the top of this
mould a layer of clean coarse sand about
two inches deep, aud on top of this some
small pebbles. Then fill the jar with water
and replace as evaporated, so as to always
have the water several inches deep above
the pebbles. Place in a warm and sunny
window, and the plant will throw up large,
luxuriant leaves, to be followed by the mag
nificent bloom. What is still better, the
flower stalks will be sent up in succession so
as to afford a nearly continuous series of
flowers. A few minnows introduced into
the water will usually thrive without further
care, and afford a pleasing study.— Scientific
Farmer.
Rotation in Crops.—-At a late meeting of
a farmers' club iu New York State, a mem
ber said : “One difficulty with most of tie
is that we allow our clover fields to run too
long before we plow them up. Now, were I
to suggest a method, I would say, mow the
clover early the first year, and cut a crop of
seed, and mow again early the next season,
let the second crop of clover grow until the
first of August, then turn it under as per
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
fectly as possible. Roll it, harrow and cul
tivate it thoroughly and sow it with wheat,
and my opinion is that it will do better than
summer fallow. My reason is, the soil is
much lighter. By the decay of the clover
roots wheat gets a good start in the fall, and
when summer comes and the dry weather we
generally have just before wheat fills, the
roots get down to the moist, decayed clover,
turned under, aud the heads fill out beauti
fully, and the wheat will be very heavy. If
you wish to plant with corn, there is no
better field for that purpose than a good
clover sod turned under. Follow your
corn with barley, then with wheat and
seed with clover. Try this method with
one field and another with timothy; give
each field the same quantity of fertilizers
for ten years and see which field will be
in the best condition. With such a rota
tion of crops our land will improve with a
crop every year, instead ot losing one year
in four or five for fallowing.”
Profits of Poultry. —Raising onifitry is
a profitable occupation, aud on moot farms
the wife, or wife and daughters, could pre
pare each season a liberal quantity of their
feathered friends for the market, and receive
handsome returns for their care. It is health
ful, also, and would put color into maay a
pale cheek as well as money into the purses
of the owner. Try it, mothers and sisters;
select a good breed, and let your poultry
yards be a boast, make them a feature on the
farm, and when your friends call show them
your poultry family, and what women can do.

William H. Goodrich died in August*,
Ga., of malarial fever, Dec. 2d, 1877, after
an illness of five months, in the 70ih year of
his age.
He was born Aug. 4th, 1808, in Rocky
Hill, Connecticut, and moving to Augusta
in October, 1830, that city became his place
of residence for life. He was married Nov.
Ist, 1834, to Miss Susan C. Clark, daughter
of John Clark, of Augusta, who, with six
sons and a daughter, survives him. Coming
to Augusta when it was but a village, he has
been closely identified with its history and
contributed greatly to its growth. Asa pub
lie servant and as a private citizen he justly
enjoyed the unlimited confidence of the whole
community, and hence was often called to
occupy places of public trust and to take ac
tive part in public enterprise. His name is
thus associated intimately with the public
improvements and general benevolences of
his adopted city. His life was that of a con
secrated man, deeply religious, sympathetic,
generous to a fault, devoted to his country,
his fellow men, and the Church of Christ.
His gentleness,, unobtrusive kindness, hearty
sympathy, his ever helpful hand, are to all
who knew him,among the most cheering ana
helpful remembrances of the past. The
workingmen of the city were constant recipi
ents of his kind and cordial help, and the
poor had in him a true and generous friend.
His lorn is deeply felt by all. His life was
successful. He built, up a fortune, and the
reverses that he met during the last five years
of his life, were borne by him as by one who
has treasure elsewhere. His treasure was
already laid up in heaven. He yielded to
t'tr—fw»#-ef«d»ers«-y with remarkable cllieer
fulness, and bore the trial of his faith “as a
son who honoreth the Father.” “Whom
the Lord loveth he chasteueth” was his am
pie satisfaction and recompense. He joined
St. John’s Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in Augusta, in October, 1847. and for
thirty years lived a consistent Christian. He
was Trustee of the Church and Chairman ot
the Board of Stewards for many years, and
fa thfu! to every official trust. His faith was
strong though simple as a child’s. He felt
his religion, and his daily walk was a living
epistle. In the very silence of his worship
there were anthems of praise from his heart
which the Lord delighted to hear, and his
communion was sweet. His tame is Chris
tian. His name is synonym of “whatsoever
things are just, pure, lovely, and of good re
port.” He has left a legacy of priceless
worth to bis children and friends. Simple
and natural in all his tastes, his pleasures
were continual, for he bore within him a
never failing fountain of gladness. lie
“loved his neighbor as himself.” His chief
delights in life were the service of God, the
love of his wife, the affection of his children,
and the peace of his home. The glorious
realities of heaven are his. In ‘Our Father’s
House’ we will meet him again. God help
us to be faithful to tb» end. ***
Mrs. Lucy B. Cleaveland was born in
Princeton, Massachusetts, July 17th, 1809 ;
and died in Monroe county, Georgia, De
cember 28 h, 1877.
When she was about nineteen years old. a
brother a few yerrs older than herself—
Milton Wilder—came to Georgia with the
hope of benefiting his declining health. She
came to Monroe county to be with him and
if need be to nurse him. While on thi3 mis
sion of affection she engaged in teaching.
She soon became attached to the people
among whom she sojourned ; in a year or
two married a Georgian—the late Early
Cleaveland —and never returned to the land
of her nativity, except to visit her relatives.
Before she came South she professed re
ligion and joined the Congregationalis s, but
after coming to Georgia, she joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and remained
an acceptable member of that Church until
ber death. Amiability and sweetness ot
temper predominated in ber character. But
nature was lavish in the bestowment of all
the virtues that are found in a true, good
woman. Asa wife, she was faithful, affec
tionale, and devoted. The heart, ofher hus
band safely trusted iu her, and ha was ever
ready lo confess that no small part of his
success in life was due to her wise counsels
and earnest co operation. Asa mother, she
had the happy faculty of making home at
tractive to her children, and thus kept them
safe in early life from the contaminating in
fiueuces of the world, In mature years the
thoughts of her children turned with enthu
siasm and delight to the home of their child
hood. Her neighbors prized her as a true
and tried friend and none prized her so much
as those who knew her best. Her piety, was
of that quiet, unobtrusive type, that mani
fests itself in gentle useful deeds, rather than
in ostentatious professions. She loved the
Church and rejoiced in its prosperity. The
ministers of her own and other Churches ever
found under her roof a generous, hospitable,
Christian welcome. Her life was one of
unusual bereavement and sorrow. She
buried her first-born—a sweet promising lit
tie girl of six summers. A few years after
wards, in the short space of three weeks,
t|ea!h tore from her embrace two most lovely
,a3d interesting children. In the early
months of the late war her only surviving
son, a young man of fine promise, fell in
battle. She next mourned the loss of her
husband, and but a few montlu since she
followed to the grave the last but one ofher
six children. Her fond,{affectionate nature,
deeply felt these losses, but there was no
unwomanly, unchristianlike, repinings. The
Holy Comforter was with and sustained her
in these dark hours. Thus chastened and
purified, her last days were calm and peace
ful. There was but little pain and suffering.
She sweetly fell asleep, to await thegloriesot
the resurrection morning.
Mrs. Sabah A. Morton, died near Eaton
ton, Ga., at the residence of R. J. Wynn,
Esq., in the 70:h year of her age.
Sue was the daughter of Capt. George aud
Mrs. Sarah Phillips; was born iu Virginia,
moved with her parents to Georgia in 1818
and settled near Greensboro, Ga. She went
to school in Greensboro, and boarded in the
family of Dr. Lovick Pierce. She was mar
ried in 1829 to Rev. Jas C. Talbot, of Wilkes
couuty, by whom she had six children, three
of whom preceded her to the good world.
After eleven years of married life, her hus'
band died,leaving her with six small children
to rear and educate. Providence had emi !
ueutly qualified her for the arduous task, and
she applied herself to it faithfully, persistent
ly, and successfully. In 1854 she was again
married, to Rev. Henry Morton, of Putnam
county, Ga., who died in 1863, leaving her
to contend alone with the world through the
most difficult period of our political exist
ence. She proved herself equal to the situa
tion, and I have often heard it remarked by
her neighbors that she was the best managrr,
maleorfemale, they knew. Her great energy
and exposure undermined her health, and at
the close of the war she was first taken with
rheumatism in a most aggravated form and
subsequently with a severe cough which cul
minated in her entire prostration. She had
to give up her beautiful home and spend the
most of her time with her two daughters,
Mrs. I. O. Colley, and Mrs Wynn, who lived
near her and were as kind and devoted chit
children as any mother ever had. She
was, and had been for a considerable
time, at the house of her youngest daughter,
Mrs. Wynn, where on the 21st. of December,
1877, she breathed her last without a strug
gle. Rev. J. W. Knight who knew her well,
for her house had been one of his homes ior
mauy years, preached her funeral sermon,
and her remains were then deposited in Ea
tonton cemetery. She joined the Methodftt,
Church in early life, was a pious, devoted
Christian, was liberal, gave freely of her
means, and bad been a life member of the
Missionary Society for years. Her doors
always open to God’s messengers and
al! good people. Thus has passed away my
wife’s only sister and one of the best friends
I ever had. C. S. Crrdii.lb.
Dr. Waldrop, of Merriwether county
Georgia, was born in Polk county North

ried to Miss M. Jones ; after her death, was
married to Miss Julia A. Caldwell, dauebt

He professed faith in Christ five orqfx
years ago, and joiued the M. E. Church,
South, of which he remained a useful mem
ber until his death. As we know not ihe
value of health until it is lost, so the com
munity in which he lived did not fully ap
preciate bis most amiable qualities until he
was taken from them. He possessed the
modesty of a woman, and, at the same time,
possessed all the nobie Christian virtues
that distinguished him as an honorable, high
minded, Christian gentleman. He was a
good physician, and had greatly endeared
himself to the people in his practice. The
poor will long remember his kind attentions
to them. He was mindful of that apos
tolic injunction so often forgotten, “Let him
that is taught in the word communicate un
to him that teaeheth in all good things.”
He considered the laborer not only “worthy
ot his hire,” but of many “good things”
over and above “his hire.” In his associa
tions with men he was meek, mild, kind and
obliging, sympathetic and charitable. He
lived to do good as well as to get good. He
cast his “bread upon the waters that it might
be seen after many days.” Like Cornelius,
he sent up his prayers and his alms before
God. Iu the management of his temporal
affairs he was honest, industrious, provident
and successful. He was a kind husW*ud
and father and employer. His piety was
not demonstrative in loud professions, but
in the true Christian life—“the fruits of the
Spirit love, joy, peace, long suffering, gen
tleuess, gooduess, faith, meekness, temper
ance.” In his death the Church has lost
one of its brightest ornaments, his fimily has
sustained an irreparable loss, and the com
munity has lost one of its best, most belqved
and useful citizens. His last illness was
short and severe. He spoke but few words
in reference to his condition and future pros
pects. but they were golden words. At one
t me he said, “I have toe my duri. ’ —words
ot protound import, iu such an nour I At
another time, when he was wading far out
into the dark stream, his heart stricken wife
asked him if he could not speak to ber s-uce
more, he replied, “Yes, all is well.” These
were his last words. How grand! How sub
lime they were! L. Rush,

He was a native of Lexington Distrio). S.

and resided until his death. Soon after his
marriage he joiued the Methodist Churdi, of

than fifty years. He reared a large fantily,
for whom be provided comfortably. Ail of

stain and without reproach. He was ajman
of singular integrity and sterling worth* As
a citizen he was quiet, peaceful, uuobstriaive,
yet uncommonly public spirited. Thrifty
and economical in his habits, he was always
liberal to the calls of charity, and the wants
ot his Church. In his religion, he was un
demonstrative, but sincere and consistent.
He loved the Lord’s bouse, and cherished

This Company Organized in 1869, under a charter
from the State, has amid the financial storm that
has caused the failure of several Life Companies,
and other moneyed institutions, preserved its
solvency, and is now in a financial condition that
should inspire confidence with the people of the
South. For solvency, and security for its Policy
holders, it takes rank with the safest institutions
in the country.

Subject to call at auy time should it ever
become necessary. This security witii its
present Cash Assets should convince the
most incredulous that the Cotton States
Life is secure.
To those who have held Policies in Companies
that have ceased to exist, we ask that you send for
one of our Pamphlets and Ta ble Rates (or apply
to an agent who has them). Upon reading them,
you will be convinced that we can place you in a
Company that you can fnel secure, and upon Rates
ts favorable as any good and sound Company.
If economy in expenditures, careful selection of
risks, judicious investments, are worth anything
o a Life Company, then the Cotton States claims
he patronage of the citizens of Georgia and the
Southern States.
GOOD AGENTS ARE WANTED IN

to whom good commissions will be paid.
