M. Xavier Garenne asserts that the barren
lands in Ahe south of France can be easily
reclaimed by sowing nettles. He wonders that
the world is sOblind to the treasure which
1t possesses in the nettle. Young nettle tops
are excellent eating for man; cattle like them
and thrive on them; they are the best medi-
cine which a brOken-dOwn horse can take.
Besides, the plant has value in commerce.

to-day in the Convention. Some very violent

The vote shows exactly the strength of the

to have universal negro suffrage but also to
pass a sWeeping measure of acknowledgements

January Isl. 1868.

With this day we enter upon a New
Year. The Old, with it's pleasures and
its SORROWS, has flown into eternal
Oblivion--and, like its predecessors,
lie numbered among the things that
were" AS we Will. mingled feelings of
joy and regret, Internationally scan the
irrecalIable Past, recounting the many
friends and boon companions who have
gone from heace, to bright and better
world beyond, we are forcibly reminded
that each revolution of Time brings us
nearer Eternity, while the Past recedes
i'm the dim distance, and is soon lost to
view forever;-and that, we too, must
soon abide in the ,sssilent city Of the
dead '-giving way to coming genera
tions, as preceding ones have for this.
Happy! thrice Happy! New Year, to
all Prosperity to the business man in
all his legitimate undertakings! Peace
and Contentment at home-the Matron
happy in the love of her liege lord, her
children, and the successful manage
ment of her household affairs. May
the portion of the over-joyous little
ones-whose beaming faces are emblems
of innocence-be innumerable toys and
sweet-meats. And may Youth and
Beauty, realize their widest dreams of
earthly beatitude, in worshipping at the
sacred shrine OF Love-the 'sgolden
chord that enchains Heaven to Earth, i"
and binds the world together.
In short, we wish every one all the
happiness that it is possible for mortals
to enjoy, not only for the New Y ear, but
the remainder of their lonely pilgrimage
in this world of sorrow, affiiction and
Death.

right of woman to exercise the suffrage
has received practical demonstration
at the election of Mr.. Jacob Bright as
member of Parliament for Manchester,
in England. A woman named Lily
Maxwell, who kept shop and paid
rates, was duly recorded on the "regis-
ter" by some error, as voter. She
went to the polls and claimed the right
to vote, and her claim had to be admit
ted, as the inspector could not go be-
hind the register. The case excited con-

ATLANTA, December 23.-The Con
vention met this morning and imInedi-
atcly took recess till three o'clock to
negotiate loan to pay expenses. The
afternoon session was exceedingly
stormy.
The Finance Committee failed to Sc
cure loans, and reported an ordinance to
authorize further Efforts, which was de-
feated on the ground that nothing could
be done. The report of the Commissions
er sent to Milledgeviile to draw forty
thousand dollars from the State Treas
nry was read. 1t says that he showed
the State Treasurer the ordinance of the
Convention, with Gen. Pope's authorisa-
tion and direction endorsed, and that
the Treasurer said he must decline pay
ing out any money on such authority,
being sworn to obey the constitution
and laws of Georgia, and was bonded
only to pay warrants signed by the Gov
ernOr. During the debate that ensued,
one delegate said the Treasurer had
snubbed the Convention another. said,

Great confusion accompanied the adj
iournment, which is over to the Sth OF

THE following anecdote is related OF
the Rev. Joshua Brookes, of Manches-
ter, England, who is said to have had
an irritable temper -
"The churchyard was surrounded by
low parapet wall, with sharp-ridged
coping, to walk along which required
nice balancing of the body, and was one
of the favorite feats of the neighboring
boys. The practice greatly annoyed
Joshua; and one day, while reading the
burial-service at the grave-side, his eye
caught chimney sweep walking on the
wall. This caused the eccentric chap
lain, by abruptly giving an order to the
beadle, to make the following interpola-
ton in the solemn words of the funeral
service: Aud / heard a voice from
heaven, saying-knock that black ras-
cal off the wall y"

THE HAPPY CoNrBINATIoN.-Ther
is nothing purer than truth, nothing
sweeter than charity, nothing warmer
than love, nothing brighter than virtue,
nothing more steadfast than faith.
These, united in one mind, form the
purest, sweetest, richest, brightest,
hottest, and most enduring happiness.
A study of Paul's advice to the
Philippian Christian, Phil. w., 81 will
serve to beget and strengthen these
graces in the soul.
