but whose fondness for MotheI

and measured strides of an over

landscape of the last season pictur-
ed on the canvass of life, was the
victim of an amusing and good hui

that is certainly worth telling
Our bachelor friend who is not ven

had been INDUCING in those bright
dreams of love which illumine the
soul of youth and quicken with 8
mellower but none the less ardent
glow the waning pulses of age, IN
til the hymenial altar, the wedding
wreath. the minister with his book,
a bride with 8 blush Of sweet mod
esty on her cheek, and an eager
look of affection in the glorious
depths of her eyes, awaiting him
the bridegroom-all passed before
his minds eye like one of De Quin-
eey's visions of Paradise. Indulg-
ing in these delicious fancies it is
but natural that our friend should
awaken to the fact that he was sin

dreary loneliness Of his condition.
1t was natural too that he should
yearn for q realization Of the mat
rimonial picture painted by his
imagination on the canvass of a de-
licious dream, and what is more, it
was natural that he should at once
take preliminary steps towards WOO
ing and winning some fair damsel,
who would assist him in forming a
joint stock company of two, for the
purpose of playing the beautiful
melOdrama of matrimony through

enough to disperse the dreams of
his poetic soul-in fact enough to
make any worshipper in poesy for
swear idyllie inspirations-unsad-
die his Pegasus and hitched him
to pillow. But to be brief our
friend called upon the young ladies
to and after hitching his
horse to the fence, went into the
house with his friend and after ma

a series Of charming tete-a-tetes !
became aware that it was time to

that he would be critical
in examining sublunary things,
and when he went to mount his
horse he failed to perceive that
some mischievOus hands had turned
the saddle in an opposite direction
from the one which horsemen gen
orally assume. But he was in no
mood to notice anything so trivial,

MIR. Seward on His Travels.

Our ex-Secretary of State is GER
tainly entitled to be called ''the great
American Traveller For one Of
his age it is a marvel to see him cir
culate over thousands of miles none
the worse for the fatigues of the
journey. If the purchase of Alaska
had not already made the irrepres-
sible SEWARD immortal his grand
tour de monde would have done it.
We have followed his progress
through the far East with a surprise
akin to admiration. We found him
in China hobnobbing with the Son
of the Moon and many minor con
stellations Scarcely had we recov-
cred from our wonder than we dis
cover him in Japan, just engaged in
n friendly chat withthe Tycoon,and
now we are RECALLED with the news
that he has been been Toasted and
toasted by the Governor General of
India and the Anglo-Indians The
Byculla Club in Bombay gave a
grand dinner in commemoration Of
his visit, and the banquet is desert
bed as a very brilliant affair. Well
might the chairman. of the occasion
say. as e-dfd, that septuagenari-
an making the tour of Asia was
rare phenomenon. Mr., Stewards re
Spouse was in his usual yein-that
is to say a very sensible one. He
told the Anglo-Indians many fatte-
ring things-andw who would not do
SO on such an occasion? -and made
some happy illusions as regards the
relations between England, India
and the United States.-R. y Her.
The New York Herald has been
endowed with prophetic vision and
coming events, casting their sha-
dows before, are plainly discernible

Of a glorious success in the future,
the fruition Of which is the posses
sion ofthe Presidential office andthe
control OF the National Govern
ment in 1872. We say advisedly that
It stands on the verge Of success,
because it has not the prize yet
within its grasp, though all its op-
portuhities would seem to place it
within easy reach"

Two weeks ago the Giles Press
sought to create the impression
that because it published the tax
sales of Giles and Lawrence, it
had the largest circulation. In or
der to correct such a gross mistake
the CITIZEN put in a claim for dou-
bic the circulation Of any other
paper in Giles and Lawrence. BY
this claim We did not seek to dis
parage the circulation Of our con
temporary, on the contrary we
would rejoice to see its circulation
doubled, or even quadrupled, but
we still claim and can prove it,
that the CITIZEN has double the
bona tide subscribers in Giles and
Lawrence that the Press has.
The fact that the Press is a new
paper with the whole local field to
canvass for subscribers, including
many who take home papers as a
matter Of course, gives it the adj
vantage over an old paper in OBJ
tanning subscribers at first, but we
venture to ''claim" that the CITI-
ZEN has added as many new sub
scribers to its list since the 1st of
January as the Press has altogether.

Col. KiIIebrew's address.
The Farmers Club

Col. j. B. Killebrew, agriculture
editor of the Union and American
delived an address to our farmers
on Monday last. A large and at
tentive audience greeted the speak
! er and it was easy to see that he
attracted their attention at the start
and held it throughout. Col K. is
a pleasant speaker and deals in Ian
guage that is remarkable for its
force. He made a warm argument
in favor of grape culture and
thought that it would pay our far
mers to engage in it extensively
He said he hoped to see our hill
sides covered with vineyards, and
he believed they would prove an
immense source of profit. He
commended that he did not war
with temperance principles by IA
yOring the production of wine, on
the contrary he believed that it was
calculated to abate intemperance.
He introduced statistics showing
that there was less drunkenness
amongst the 65,oOO,0OO people in
Spain, France and Italy, where wine
was produced and used in enormous
quantities, than among the 3,O0O,-
600 total abstinence Puritans Of the
New England States. Col. K. made
many arguments in favor Of intelli-
gent, practical farming, showing
that farming was a science suscep-
tible Of constant improvement, and
that if our farmers wished to devel-
op the natural resources of the
country, they must do so through
a careful and intelligent compari-
son Of each others experience, with
a view to correct faults, ignore pre-.
judices and keep step with the
progressive spirit of the age. Col.
K. advocated a county school sys-
TEN, prefering it to a State or Ma
tional system. He also advocated
the support of county papers and
said that they proclaimed the char
acter of a community abroad
Show Intelligent men a poor coun-
ty paper and they will not entertain
a high opinion of the people. He
said that every farmer should take
his county papers. The Obligations
of the editor and farmer were re-
ciprocal-the editor advertised the
farmer and supplied him with in
formation, the farmer enabling the
editor to do this by giving him

earnest appeal for Farmers Clubs,
