It is there we were horn and reared-; there our loved unes hved ;? t?tere inai ry sleep in calm re pose, resting in the silent city of the dead; and there some of our best and dearest friends, still reside, aud' iv i th them our warmest sympathy shall eyer awake "to rejoice With those that do rejoice, and ?weep-'with them tha&weap;'' i < >-?*iH Sufler us then to rejoice anfl cohgrat?-! | Ute om- dear old mother Edgetield that she has once more been permitted to en joy, for a ?host season, the zealous min istry of Brother Gwaltney-that most pi?

While we can not deny the fact that wo regret, that in tho Providence of God, circumstances have impelled us to sun der th? social ties, that still bind us in heart, to the old Palmetto State, we think there are advantages, both political .and financial, sufficient to reconcile UH to the change ; and we are encouraged to hope that the noble old Stato .of Georgia will furnish us with a home and a living both comfortable and pleasant. Though tho river rolls between us, wc are Alli near enough to enjoy the anticipation of inueh pleasant intercourse Indoed, Au gusta, being the common mart for both States, Ave meet on its thoroughfare, our Edgelield frionds, much oftener than be fore wo found our Georgia homo.

J. H. M. IDLEWILDE, GA., 15th Nov., 1872. NOT SO MUCH OF A JOKE.-Quite an amusing joke was perpetrated at a certain boarding-house in Hudson last Saturday night. One of the boarders, a very mod est young man, had occasion to be out late, and the rest of his household thought they would play a joke on him and this , is the way they did it. They rigged up a figure supposed to resemble afemale, which they put in his bed, and they hung on a chair a skirt, on another a sat of corsets, hung a dress over the footboard and orna mented the bureau with false hair, hair pins and fixings-thus giving the room the appearance of being occupied by a lady. At a late hour the owner of the room returned and lit the gas and' his eyes be held such an array of '?Hicieras they were not wont to gaze upon ; but though bis eyes were surprised his nose 'did not go back on him, for it "smeit mice," and he proceeded quickly to gather up, the figg j men ts, did them in a bundle, and hid them morning he ap gi notlnng had iprevailed upon foe resnlt was obliged to re for want of and had to ask retnrn them. Wbo got the under the barn. Sunday peared at the table as th occurred, and could not I to see any joke at all. j that the instigators ' wer main at home from chi hiir and boots and thiri^ the bashful young "man What he wanta to- kno^ joke played'on them.

A Woman's Stratagem and ita Results: A story comes from Ath?ns about Greek brigandage very refreshing to honest peo ple, and suggestive of the question wheth er women might not govern Greece better than its men.

JUDGE II. Calling on Uncle Jake, the judge or dered him to carry the note to Qr-!-, who would give him a grubbing hoe. Jake started oil' un town, but his sus picions were aroused. He couldn't un derstand what thc judge wanted with a grubbing hoe at Christmas time, and his conscience'wa* not as clear as it should have been. The result of his suspicion was that the truth suddenly flashed upon him-he was tu be whipped, .. Seeing ,\\ schoolboy upproaebing, lie took out th-j note and ?alp: " Massa'Bob, what in dis note? ' Got so mart" ells morning I got em mixed:''" Tiie boy read the note and explained i ts ?contenta to Jake, who..whistled and laughed to. himself as a bright idea ??iruck liim. Calling a negro boy, who was near Juke-said: " Bov, does you want tb make a quar ter?" " " Of course I does." "Well, take* dis note down Uar, to Mas* sa G-an'- git a-'grubben . hoo, and- I wait here 'tjllYQU comes backen' den l gives you a quarter*;" The boy hurried off to "accomplish his errand, and1 in dbe course" delivered'-the note-td G--, who took him-into; tho. yard,, locked the gate, and proceeded, des pite the boy's protestations of innocence, to administer thc desired flogging, while Jake hurried olf home, chuckling over the happy result of what .might have been serious business for him. That evening, the judge called him up, and inquired : .". " Jake, did you ge,t thc grubbing hoe.?'-' "No, mana; I give a boy a quarter to fotch dat note to Massa-G, and I spec lie got dat hoe.'" ..- ?? -???'? r Your Boy's Guests. Every right-minded home-mother re gards it ,as a matter of importance to make her home agreeable'for her . hus band's guests. If a gentlemen is expect, ed to dinner, thero is sure to be thc best linen on thc'fable, and something more than tho ordinary meal prepared ' She takes pride and pleasure' in making her parlor bright, and her guest's room as comfortable as in her power. But how many mothers take pains to make it pleasant for their boy's guests. It is an excellent-thing for a' boy to have his boy friends, when they are children of good principles and behaviour, and it is a lastn ing blessing to a boy when he has a moth er who encourages, such intimacies. It'is .a very easy thing to do. . A kind, pleas ant word of welcome wh?n he comes will make him at once feel at home. A little pains taken to bring out the stereoscope or book of engravings for his amusement, permission of your boy to take his toys into the parlor for the time if he likes, a little addition 'to tho table fare-all these trifles make your boy's heart glad, and endear to you the heart of the stranger. O how it chills and sours a child's heart to have mother frown on his friends I How it angers him to be scolded in their pres ence! Such a course is like sowing the wind, and you will surely reap thc whirl wind. Thc course of a boy thus treated will j, be down. Far better have him choose ,, his friendships under your eye, and enjoy I, the companionship ot his associates in your parlor, where -you may join in the* conversation, and cheer and instruct by your pleasant lessons. There is nothing a boy lov?s so well as an intelligent, talk ing mother. She may regard it'as a great compliment when he coaxes for another .half hour at evening, ..with " let's talk a ; little' longer/mother."' Your; boy will have'associates, if not by your, permission, he..will ,by stealth, and companions thus chosen will hardly fail to lead him to destruction. Is it not better* to .take the. trouble to make home pleasant for him and his'friend rather than run such fearful risks?-Lilllie ra n Ob server. .
