Dirt.


Old Dr. Cooper, of South Caroli-
ma, usod to say to bis students,
"Don't be afraid of dirt, young gem
tlemen. What is dirt? Why, moth
ing at all offensive, when chemically
viewed, Rub little alISali npoE tbe
dirty gFeese spots on your coat, ana
it undergoes a chemical change and
becomes soap; now rub il with u lit
Tie water and il disappears. II Is
neither grease, soap, water, nor dirt.
That is not a very odoFous pile of
dirt you see yonder; we'll, scatter a
littlo gypsum over it and it is no
longer dirt. Everything like dirt is
worthy of our notice rs students Of
chemistry. Analyze it; it will sep
arate intovery clean elements. Dirt
makes corn, corn makes bread and
meat, and that makes a very sweet
young lady, that / saw one OF you
kissing last night. So, after all, yoB
we're kissing dirt; particularly II she
whitened her laoe with halk or full
ler's earth though 1 may SAY that
such stuff upon a beautiful
skin of a young lady is dirty prsc-
tice. Pearl powder think is made
Of Misunderstanding but dirt
Lord Palmerston's fue definition OF
dirt is matter In the wrong place.
Put itia the right place and We cease
to think it Is dirt"

They appear to have some trouble
in keeping down their oefunct out
in Hot Springs, Montana. This
may be on account Of the hot springs
out there-we don't pretend to say.
There is a ghost out there now, who
is making quite stir among the
living. He occupies a large stone
house, snd is pretty considerably
left to himself therein. "In his
days of nature" he is supposed to
have been one Hanna, who appears
to have forgotten something before
he passed in his chips. The ques-

The Southern Normal Musical In

The Southern Normal Musical In
stitUt0.
The first term Of this institution
which lately closed at GAINESVILLE,
Ca, was literally patronized by stu
dents from eight of the Southern
States. The School is similar to
those famous Musical Institu es Of
Europe, with the advantage to the
student Of being more accessible, as
the Board Of Directors have decided
to perpetuate its existence, ana are
rapidly arranging for one session
annually in each OF the Southern
States. Musical persons in North
Georgia, North Alabama, and East
and Middle Tennessee, will rejoice
to know " that the second term viii
open in Chattanooga, November
18th. Although the term in Geor-
gia eclipsed anything CT the kind
ever attempted in the United States,
vet we feel confident the term in
Tennessee will far surpass it in
numbers.

CHURCH SCANDAL.

Ihat tall fellows here to day,
1 wonder what's his name?
His eyes are fixed upon our pew
Do look at sally Damei
Who is that lady dressed in green?
1t can't be Mrs. Leach:
There's Mrs. Jones with Deacon Giles
i wonder if he'll preach
Lend me your fan, it is so warm.
We both viii sit to prayers;
Mourning becomes the widow Ames-
How Mary's bonnet flares
Do look at Nancy SIOper's veil!
It's full a breadth too wide;
l wonder if Susanna Ayres
Appears to-day as bride?
Lord what voice Jane Rice has got 4;
OH how that organ roars!
I'm glad we've left the singers seats
Low hard Miss johnson snores.
What ugly shawls are those in front 4?
Did you observe Ann Wild (?
Her new straw bOnnet's trimmed in
black;
guess she's lost a child.
I'm half asleep-that Mr.. JOnesl
His sermons are so long;
This afternoon Wen stay athoEle
And practice that new song.

Inquisitive people sometimes meet
with little adventures which make
them weak. 4 fellow who was
paying attention" to e girl in
Andover, Miss, stole up to the
kitchen where she was at work the
other morning, thinking to see what
kind Of g housekeeper she was. He
got interested IS he stood behind
a door all unobserved, watching the
fair one at her toll, and in the ar
dency Of his observation he obtrud

Laughter.

It is painful 70 suppress laugh
ter, and more healthy to give it free
vent. A 'good laugh" as they say,
disrels the vapors, inhates and oxy-
genates the lungs, promotes 'and
improves circulation, and gives n
helping hand 70 the heart It IS q
medical fact that people Of cheerful
disposition enjoy the best health.
It may be said that cause is here
confounded with effect, but our dis
position is created in a measure BY
ourselves, and even Indigestion can
be laughed at If our temperament
is kindly, and VIC are disposed to
endure without grumbling- laugh
ter is the safety valve Of merriment,
and whatever the poet may say OF
q sigh, we would rather dispense
with phautasy and ask for smile.

Weather Wisdom.

A rainbow in the morning gives
the shepherd warning. That is, if
the wind be easterIy, because it
shows that the cloud is approach
ing the observer.
A rain bow at night is the shep-
herds delight. This is also a good
sign provided the wind is westerly,
as it shows the rain clouds are
passing away.
Evening red and next morning
gray are certain signs of beautiful
day.
When the glow worm lights her
lamp the cir is damp.
If the cock goes growing to bed
he certainly rises with a watery
head.
When you see a gossamer flying
be sure the air is drying.
When black snails cross your
path, black clouds much moisture
hath. ''
When the peacock loudly bawls,
soon we have both rain and squalls.
When ducks are driving through
the barn, that night the weather
takes turn.
If the moon shines like silver
shield, be not afraid to reap your
feld.
But il she rises haIoed round,
soon well tread on deluged ground.
When rocks are sporting in the
air, it shows that windy storms are
near.
If at sun rising or setting the
,iouds are IurId red color, extend
ing nearly TO the zenith, it is a sure
sign of squalls and gale of wind.

Less Labor and More Happiness

Less Labor and More Happiness.
We favor a system that shall con
tribute most to the happiness of the
individual and the class. If the one
hour saved from labor be devoted to
intellectual improvement, it is well.
If the laborer thus released applies
his leisure hour to his own domestic
business, to his garden or his shop,
to his needed rest or the education
of his children, to the pleasant in
terchange of ideas and good will be
tween neighbors, to almost anything
except dissipation, idleness and de
bsuchery--it will prove a blessing,
taking him out of the enforced
treadmill Of grinding toll, and giving
him status in the world above that
of the mere toiHng serf.
One hour a day saved from slav-
ish toll, if rightly employed and i'm
proved, can be the means of Great
ing a new class of men-new in
their capacities for enjoyment, as
for toll itself The devotion of one
hour a day to self-education, to men
tai development, can do what has so
often been done before; transform
mere drudges into thinking, intelli-
gent beings, with their capacities for
heRlthful enjoyment increased in
proportion to the cultivation of
their intellects. But this will not be
the result to the man who cOyeIs
the one hour saved from toll in or,
der that he may have SO much more
time to devote to the shutting Of
cards or the shaking of dice at the
corner grocery.
It is = common mistake made,
that relesse from the necessity of
labor ensures happiness. Employ
ment is the law Of all really inteIli-
gent, certainly all really progressive
and individuals. Others
may exist, but they do not live in the
true sense Of the word We must
work with the mind if not with the
hands. The invisible wheel and
springs Of the brain must keep NOV
ing. Thought viii be evolved, and
ia its proper direction is the correct
cue to happiness. Let the laborer
get his release from the hitherto
extra hour or two OF enforced toll
and then devote it sensibIy to better
purposes than dissipation, or idle
ness, which leads to dissipation ifl
not TO vagabondage and crime.

fore, actively on our side. The
Radical camp is no camp for them,
nor is it the part Of wisdom to draw
a party tomahawk upon Democrats
or Liberal Republicans, who from
conscientious, but mistaken motives,
saw fit to vote for Grant. The cir
cumstances were novel and peculiar,
such as had never before been seen,
and men Of the best intentions were
liable to err. Condemn as strongly
as you will the base men who sold
their votes, but be charitable to
your old friends who, under eircum-
stances of difficulty and embarass-
ment, differed from you in opinion.
Instead of repelling strive to win
them back. Free, independent
thought is the very essence Of De
mocracy and true Republicauism.
Il created the Democratic party in
the beginning; it has maintained it
ever since; it gives rise To the Lib
yeral Republican element Of to-day,
and to it we must look for acces-
sions in the future.
What is needed, then, is not Grim
nation and recrimination, but just
the opposite. Three and a quarter
million of electors have protested
by their votes against the Radical
misrule under which the country
has suffered, and which threatens to
overthrow the very foundation of
free government. The reasons for.
their protests are as potent to-day
as they were when they cast their
votes. By every consideration Of.
consistency ami just principle, these
men are bound TO continue to act
together. The necessity for reform
is likely to increase instead Of di-
minish. The advocate of centraI-
zation are likely to become more au-
dacious than ever in their attacks
upon local self government. The
exactions of combined wealth and
the corrupt use of money in cleo
tons are likely to become estab-
ished usages if not speedily re-
buked. It is not the time, there
fore, for any lover Of free institu-
tions, Of purity in elections and
government and equal law to relax
his efforts; nor is it intelligent, or
wise, or manly, to despair of sue
cess.
No reform party ever gained its
first battle. Consolidated abuses
can only be overthrown by repeated
assaults. Monopoly and corruption
ever die hard, but in the end they
do die when a free and virtuous peo-
pie viii their destruction.
We say, then, to every friend of
reform, be Of good cheer Ohio is,
we believe. the only State in which
the Radical majority Of 1868 has
been reduced. A few more strug-
giles and it will cease to exist.

THE ''FAT SHEEP."-Some twenty-five
years ago, when was pastor of a church in
-, l took occasion one evening to attend
a social meeting in the church in that place.
As is their custom on such occasions, one
after another rose and gave in his or her ex-
perience. After time man in humble Cir
cumstauces, small in stature, and with an
effeminate, squeaking voice, rose to give
piece OF his experience, which was done in
the following manner:
Brethren, l have been member of the
church for many years. 1 have seen hard
times; my family has been much afflicted, but
have for the first time in my life to see my
pastor or any of the trustees of this church
cross the threshold of my door,"
No sooner had he uttered this part of his
experience than he was suddenly interrupted
by one of the trustees, an aged man. who
rose and said in a loud, firm voice:
my dear brother, you must put the devil
behind you.'
On taking his seat, the pastor in charge
quickly rose, and also replied to the little
man as follows:
my dear brother, you must remember that
we shepherds are sent to the lost sheep of the
house of Israeli
Whereupon the little man rose again, and,
in answer, said, in very loud tone of
voice:
eyes, and ifTd been fat one, you would
have found me long ago."
The effect upon the audience can be be tier
imagined than described.
