PRoposEp RsL1EF TO Mr.. DAvre-Asla lady
in Houston, Texas, proposes the following
plan. for the relief of Mr.. Davis -:
That the'ladies of each neighborhood, town
and city form themselves into society, each
member to pay not moro than one dollar and
not less than twenty-five cents per month, %
long as Mr.. Davis shall be held a+prisoaer. I
propose keeping an account of names of per-
sons and places, because know tits Mr. Da.
+ vis' wish. He hopes, if better days should
ever come to him, to be able to return to tie
places, in the form of some public building,
asylum, hospital or school, the moneys given
to him in his hour of need by the people Of
these localities, and with that view Mr.. Davis
scrupulously keeps record Of every dollar
with name and residence of DONOR.

A Dummerston correspondent sends
the Record the following:
at is hardly worth our time to say
much about an old almanac but the
one Of which we write is noticed on
account of its great age. 1t was prin-
ted at Boston for the year III, by
Nathaniel Ames, consequently it is
nearly 81 years old. Surely, it must
be aged, for no man is now living who
could set type when it was printed
This almanac is in good condition and
all its pages are legible On the 4th
page is printed Mr.. Franklin's Epi,
taph on himself curious for conveying
such solemn Ideas in the Stile of his
Occupation" We quote an item for
the curious reader, to show that Mr.
Ames was somewhat funny in his re
marks about the weather. In the cal
endar for February he says, The al
ternate Chills and ThawS in thi;
Month represent a long Courtship-a'
a Beehive does Matrimony, for it i
often empty & poor, sometimes rich il
Wax, but insipid and tasteless anC
sometimes full Of Honey, but most FIRE
quently full of Stings."

The GARDEN OF GETHsEMANE.-lt
Is located in the Valley of Jehosaphat,

The GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.-lt
is located in the Valley of Jehosaphat,
at the foot of the Mount of Olives,
and is an enclosure of perhaps 200
feet square surrounded by high stone
wall, within which are eighty olive
trees, the most aged we have ever
seen, and said to be the identical trees
under which our Lord agonized. The
old franciscan father, who has charge
of the enclosure, cultivates variety
of flowers with which he supplies VS.
itors. Several times we spent an hour
or two in this place of tenderest IN
terest to the Christian heart. 1t is
scarcely possible to visit it, even with
the doubt which surrounds all the
sacred localities, without experiencing
the most affecting emotions. Proba-
bly, beneath some of these trees, or
their predecessors, our Lord wept
and prayed in view of his great sui
fering, until in the intensity OF his
agony. ale sweat was as 1t were
great drops of blood falling down to
the ground" This earth sustained
His PROSTATE form, and received
His bloody sweat and tears. These
aged trees may have heard his ago
nizing cry, "Father, if it be possible
let this cup pass from me, and that
sublimity of resignation, "neverthe
less, not my will, but thine be done.
These very stones were witnesses of
the unparalleled treachery Of Judas
when he betrayed his master even
with a kiss. Surely this is hol.
ground, if there be such in any land
There is much probability that thu
present garden is at least a portion
Of the Identical retiring place of the
Saviour. The trees are eXceedingl,
old. but are not likely to have lived il
the time of Christ, but they may hav
succeeded those that did, and it i
barely possible that they are tn
identical trees of His day.

Don't Cheat the Preachers !!

''Long time ego" perhaps, a young gentleman
worshipped zcalously at Hymen's altar, socalled,
having been sinitten by whole swarm OF coquet-
fish little ''cuhebs, and he called upon one of our
worthy ministers to make of''the twain one flesh -
The preacher obeyed the summons, and regard
less of the cold winds and the freezing cold went
on his errand rejoicing ; and his Imagination was
meantime busy in figuring up the probable amount
Of greenbacks that should reward his holy labors
His fancy Gid not revel in such small trash as COM
poses the shin-plaster circulation known as frac-
tonal currency - he thoughton of DOLLARS
groenback Dollars He came, he saw, he mar
ried the happy couple, Sin due and solemn FORM
Now, thought he, the precious grcenbacks are
coming He congratulated The happy fellow whose
days of single wretchedness he had terminated :
ne smiled one ofhis bandest smiles: but the young
gentleman was too happy to think of the poor
preacher. The minister prepared to leave he
babe them good-by he bowed himself from the
presence ofthe rejoicing party, and left for his
home, in the cold, freezing wintry blast. Did he
get the coveted fee-no the pittance honestly DE
him Nary red mot even short quarter !!
And worse tLan all, he had to pay the tax OF five
cents imposed by the government on the license !!
NOW, III the name on the gOGS-ln me name OF
common honesty-is this right :? Can there be
greater meanness. in the whole catalogue of petty
WEAKNESSES Of which men are guilty, than to cheat
poor preacher out o his fee. on such occasions :?
The woman who marres such man has. better
"fordo herself and end her earthly troubles at
once. Such fellows ought to know, that if they
can successfully practice such frauds upon the
preachers, they can't cheat "Old Nick when ne
shall call for them.
Maybe we are too fast; perhaps the happy man
forgot that he owed our worthy reverned friend
oh, no, we'll not mention his name-a fee for his
serviceS-at least eloitar, the amount which a
minister may charge for performing the marriage
ceremony. lfso, we forgive him, and advise him
to fork over at once. But if he guilty Of pre-
meditated frand. we hope that his conscience NAV
be dashed with the long tails and stang By the ven
omous tongues Of scorpions, until he makes repara
ton.

The Proposed Road to Powel!'s Fort

We have already referred to the fact that the
county court has made an order requ ing the road
leading from Woodstock to Powell's Fort, bv way
OF Mr. Huddeson's mill, to be so changed in its
present location as to make it passable for wagons
and other vehicles. The present road at this seas
On, is almost impossible, and cannot be even
travelled on horseback with any degree of conven-
fence or safety. BY changing its location on the
west side OF the mountain, and making some chan
ges on the east side and on the middle mountain
it can be made good as any other mountain
road in the Valley, The Fort Valley has tllriv-
ing, enterprsing and intelligent population, and
Soast of fertile lands and as rich mineral re-
sources as any other portion of the State and the
present thoroughares connecting that section with
the channels of trade operate as a heavy embar-
go upon the enterprise Of the people. In fact they
labor under disabilities in this respect such as
other portion of the community have to contend
with. Tbs proposed new road is therefore demand
ed, not only for the transportation Of the agrcul
tural productions OF this region, but to develope
its vast mineral resources, its lumber, &c. There
are numerous deposits OF iron ORE rich and extern
sive sufficient to keep several furnaces liz opera
ticn, and extensive manganese banks and there
is the greatest abundance of water power and ex-
ceilent sites For furnaces, &c. The business men
OF Woodstock deeply interested in the
stTnction Of this road, and, in fact, citizens
generally. We therefore call the attention of those
interested to this subject, with the ca nest hope
that the work may be commenced at as early
day as pracicable-at leas; as the ceason
will permit, that it may be completed during the
coming summer.
