The WAY TO BE MISERABIE.--Sit
idly down and allow your thoughts
10 dwell upon the might have
BEEN. Never extend 70 your fell
low-man in the hour ofneed, a help
ing hand. When a friend offends
you, in word or deed, NOPE it out in
mulish pout. To allow self, and
all its sensual qualifications to pre-
dominate over your better virtues,
and mistrust all around you.
Now is this the way to live Is
this the way to pass away the life
that has been bestowed upon us by
our benefcent CreatorG Can we,
leading such life as this, prepare
for the great Beyond? The echo OF
my heart answers me back, mo,
now
Then let us be up and doing let
not the golden hour pass unheed-
ingly by. Dwell not too earnestly
upon the past for yesterday we
were, to day we are, and tomorrow
we hope to be.

Dr. Adam Clark was eaching to
large congregation in Ireland, after
dwelling in glowing terms upon the
freencss of the Gospel, and telling
them that waters of life could be had
"without money and without price"
at the conclusion Of the sermon per-
son announced that a collection would
be made to support the Gospel in for
eign parts. This announcement dis
concerted the worthy doctor, who af-
forwards related the circumstance to
the lady of the house where he was
staying. Every true, doctor" re-
piled the hostess, "the water Of life
is free, without money and without
price but they must pay for pitch
ers to carry it in" The conclusiqp
of the anecdote was followed by
cheerful smiles and clapping of hands
and children showed that they I'M
derstood its import by the readiness
with which they contributed to tho
collection.

errEcrs AND cAusEs.

In the complicated and marvel
lous machinery of circumstances, it
is absolutely impossible to decide
what would have happened, as to
some events, if the slightest disturb
ance had taken place in the march
of those that preceded them. We
may observe little dirty wheel of
brass, spinning round upon its
greasy axle, and the result is, that
in another apartment, many yards
distant from it, beautiful piece Of
silk issues from loom, rivalling in
its lus.re the tints Of the rainbow. -
There are myriads Of events in our
lives, the distance between which
was much greater than that between
this wheel and the ribbon, but where
the correction has been much more
close. fla private country gentle
man in Cheshire, England, about
the year 1880, had not been over
turned in his carriage, it is not i'm
probable that America instead Of be-
ing free republic at this moment,
would have continued dependant
colony of England. This country
gentleman happened to be Augustine
Washington, who was thus accident
ally thrown into the company Of a
lady who afterward became his wife,
who cmigratcd with him to America,
and in the year 1892, in Virginia,
became the envied mother Of George
Washington.

Lime" Whilst we shall furnish other k id
Of Fertilizers, the two mentioned, we shall urge
The farmers to use, they being in our opinion
equal to the very best in use. We have been
selling different kinds for three years and
have cudeayored to ascertain the best article
for this section, and determined last year in IA
yor Of the Wanda, even before 2 pound Of It
was used in this county, We were so thor
ouehly convinced Of its excellence, not only fer
large yield the first year. but thai the land on
which il is used is benefited for years, we look
hold Of it to the exclusion of many other poPu
lar kinds, for which We could have become
Agents We are gatifed to State that the use
OF it last year in Cobb county, by many If the
very best farmers, has proven that oar selection
of a first class Fertilizer was good one, not
only for ourselves bat fer the farmers also
To show how popular the Wanda u.s. Agents
here for other kinds. were exceedingly anxious
to get the agency FORT. These things are the
best evidence OF It's great value to the farmer
as those who sell Fertilizers always Try to pro
cure the Agency Tor the best article
The Watson and Clark Super phosphate Of
Lime, the base Of which is the same as the
Wanda. is we consider first class fertilizer.
We have certificates Of It's results from Planters
ia Georgia, that places It's superiority beyond
contradiction, therefore, we feel safe ia recon-
mcndngit,
We Shall also sell the acid Phosphate of
Lime, for composing with cotton seed, this
article is said to make a very chap Fertilizer
and is manufactured by the Wanda Manufae-
turing Company.

buys other kinds, and We shall NOT br 1T all
surprised if You tell us in the fall that yoGr
yield ofCotton and Corn has surpassed his.
We beg of you not to give your orders until
you see as ip person. ON Fertilizers will
perhaps be die lowest price first class article on
the market, We shall sell on time to the first
OF November and take Cotton where parties de

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1872,

discussion took place in Petersburg on
Thursday night between john r. Popham, the
ipdependant Radical candidate, and Stowejl
aud Porter, each claiming to be the regularly
nominated candidate of that party. Col. Pop
ham refused to make an explanation or vindi'
cation, and said he had exercised the right OF
any citizen to announce himself as candidate.
From the report of the meeting In the Peters
burg and Richmond papers Col. ?. was very
severe upon his competitors and spoke Tor an
hour and thirty minutes. During his speech
the announcement was made that the Court
house was on fire, and there was temporary
confusion. Combustible material soaked IN oil
was found on fire behind the door of the
MAYORS Office, which the Index says was evil
IDENTITY put there to set the house on fire and
break up the meeting In the course OF Port
er's speech he asserted that Popham said that
the Government had no right to abolish slavery.
Popham came forward exctedly, stick in hand,
and charged Porter with classifying him, and
demanded correction. 4 sharp wrangle follow
ed with the appearance of fight But Porter
took no umbrage and made the corrcction de-
manded. VIM. N Stevens colored, spoke
simultaneously with Lewis Lindsey, both being
upinteigible, while the greatest confusion pre-
vailed. At last Stevens got the stand, and an
nounced himself a candidate for Congress against
the field. Porter objected to Stowell tax
ing part in the discussion, because he had fail
ed to respond to Popham's challenge, and was
absent when Popham and himself had conclud-
ed the arrangements To this Stoweil object
ed, whereupon the respective friends Of each
called loudly for their favorites Stowell final
ly obtained hearing. The meeting was char
acterized throughout by scenes of disorder, aud
the Interruptions were frequent.

RAILROAD CHARGES. There is a very good
story told of certain Railroad Company who
had printed tickets in blank for the collection
of their ifeights In the course of the print
ing the letter i dropped out from the word
lawful charges" and the bill when presented
read For awtu. charges" &c If those who
are daily doing business with the Through Line,
now open from Alexandria to Richmond, are
correct in their representations, the charges for
freight are a,eful to al who happen to live at
intermediate points on the line. II it be true
that you can carry from Alexandria to Rich
mond at only one or two cents more hund red
than from Alexandria to Fredericksburg, 1t lisa
discrimination that cannot and ought Mt to be
tolerated. and further, will not be, Tit is within

with the rates that obtain on other lines North
