He told him it whs coward? ly to swear so in company. The man said he was not afraid to swear at any time or any place. ?'I'll give you ten dollars," said the gen? tleman, "if you will go into the village church yard to-?ight at 12 o'clock, and swear the same oaths which you have ut? tered here when you are alone with your God." "Agreed," said the man, "it is an easy way of earning ten dollars." "WeH, you come to me to-morrow, and say you have done it, and the money is yours." Time passed on ; midnight came. The man went to the grave yard. It was a sight of pitchy darkness. As he entered the yard, not a sound was heard?all was still aa death. Then tho gentleman's words "alone with God," camo over him with a wonderful power. Tho thought of the wickedness ho had committed, and what he came thero todo.dartod through his mind like- a fiafih of lightning. He trembled at his folly. Afraid to tako another step, be fell on his knees; instead of the dreadful oaths ho had como to ut? ter, the earnest cry wont up? "God be merciful to me a sinner J" The next day ho went to the gentle? man an thanked him for what he had dono, and said she was resolved not to swear another oath as Ion" as he lived. ?A little boy and girl had been caution? ed never to take the nest-egg whon gath? ering the eggs; but one evening the girl reached the nest first, seized an egg, and started for tho houso. Her disappointed brother followed, crying, "Mother! moth? er! Susy she's been and got tho ogg tho old hon measures by !" ? There are two classes tbat catch at straw*?drowning meo and lovers of cob bjvra and juleps. Josh Billings on the Mule.?The mule is half horse and half jackass, and then kums to a full Btop^ natar diskoveriri her mistake. Tha weigh more; accordin to their heft, than-any other kreeture ex? cept a crowbar. Tha kant hear eny quicker, nor further than the boss, yet their ears are big enuff for snow shoes. You ken trust them with enny one whose life aint worth any more than the mule's.. Tbe only way tu keep them into a paster is to turn them into a medder jineing, and lot them jump out. Tha are roady for use just as soon as they will do to abuse. Tba haint got enny friends, and will live on huckleberry brush, with an occasional chance at Kanada thissels. Tha are a "modern invention. I don't think tho Bi? ble eludes to tbem at all. Tha sell for more money than enny other domestic aniniile. You kant tell thoir age bi looking into their mouths, enny more tban.you kould a Mexican can? non's. Tha never have no disease that a good club won't heal. If tha ever die they must kum right tu life agin fori never heard anny body sa: "ded mule." Tha are like sum men, "very corrupt at harte." I've known tbem tu be good mules for 6 months, just tu git a chance to kick somebody. I nover owned one, nor never meant to, unless there is a Uni? ted States law passed requiring it. The only reason why tha are pasbant is be? cause tha are ashamed ov themselves. I have seen eddicated mules in. a sirkus. Tha would kick and bite tremenjis. Enny man who is willing to drive a mule ought to be exempt by law from run? ning, for tbe legislatur. Tha are the strongest creturs on earth, &ad heaviest accordin to their size. I herd toll of ono who fell oph tho tow-path on the Erie kanawal, and sunk as soon as ho touched water; but he kept rite on towing the boat tu the next station, breatbing thru his ears, which stuck out ov the water about two feet six inches. I didn't, see this did, but an auctioneer told of it, and 1 never knew an auctioneer tu tell an ontruth unless it was absolutely conveni? ent. The Town-Clerk of Ephesus? Cotton Mather often used to say there was a gen? tleman mentioned in Acts 19 to whom ho was indebted for some of the best advice he over received. This person was the town-clerk of Ephesus, whose counsel was not to do anything rashly. So when any matter of consequence came before Mather, for decision, he was accustomed.to.say : '-Let us first consult the town-clerk of Ephesus." How much more trouble and sorrow would be avoided if more pepple were to consult this gentleman ! How many more things would be done right tho first time, and not have to bo doneover again ! How much more joy, and safety, and rest, and in tho assmanco that wo deliberately well weighed consequences, waited- the lead? ings of the Lord, and followed the open ngs of his providence !. The hardest le3Son,of many a lifo is that of waiting. It is easy enough, when all the world is hurrying, to make quick re? solves and rash promises; but to pause while the swift current is sweeping by? ! think, and wait, and pray, and listen for the low counsel, of that guiding spirit which whispers to-every Christian heart, .'"He that believeth shall make haste"?is no easy task. Some people are eveT incliued to run be? fore they are sent. And if tho Lord left thom to themselves, they would soon fin? ish their course in ruin. But in mercy he restrains our wajTs. He shuts us up, and hedges us about, and entangles our feet, till we are compelled to stop, and like prisoned birds that flutter and beat against thoir cage-bars till in weariness they fall down and submit, we at length learn to be quiet, and know moderation, and be slow in speech, calm in thought, and terrible in action. Josh Billings' Philosophy.?I have heard a grato deal ced about "broken hartes," and thoro may bo a few ov them but mi experince iz that next tew tho giz? zard, the harte is the tuffest peace ov meat in, tho whole critter. There iz nothing in this life that will open tho pores of a man so much az tu fall in luv ; it makes him az fluent az a tin whissel, az limber az a boy's watch chain, and az perlite az a dansing master; his harlo iz az full ov sunshine az a hay field, and there ain't any more guilo in him than there is in a stik ov meslasscs candy It strains a man's philosophce tho wust kind tew laff when he gits beat. Wimmin are like flowers,, a littlo squeez? ing makes them the raoro fragrant. Matches may bo made in hcavin but they are ginarally sold down here. Musick hath charms tu soothe a savago; this may bo so, but I would rather tri a revolver on him fust. ? Every boy should havo his head, his heart and bis hand educated. Let this truth never bo forgotten. By the proper education of the head, he will be taught what is good and what is evil, what is wise and what is foolish, what is right and what is wrong. By tho proper edu? cation of tbe heart ho will bo taught to love what is good, wise and right, and to bate what is evil, foolish and wroDg. And by tho proper education of .the hand, he will be enabled to supply his wants, to add to his comforts, and to assist those around him. Tho highest objects of a good education are, to reverence and obey God, and to love and serve mankind. Ev? erything that helps us in attaining these objects is ot great value, and everything that hinders us is comparativel}' worth? less. When wisdom reigns in tho head, and lovo in tho heart, the man is ever ready to do good ; order and peace reign around, aud sin and sorrow are almost un? known. ? A young woman in tho South, during the war, wrote to Jeff. Davis, saying "I want yon to let Jeemes Clancy ot Co. I. 5th S. C. regiment, come homo and get married. Joomos is willin', 1 is willin', my mammy sho is willin', his mammy says she is willin', but Jeemes' captain he ain't willin', now when wo aro all wiliin', ceptin' Jeemes' captain, I think you might let up and let Jeemes como. I'll make him go straight b:;ck when he's done got married, and fight as hard as ever." Jeemes was allowed to go home, married, rejoinod the army, and fought till tho end THE BROOK. I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, And here and there a lusty t roue, And here and there a grayling. And here and there- a foamy flake Upon me, as I travel, With many a silvery waterbrook Above the golden gravel. And to.draw them all along end- flow To join the brimming rlvewr For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. -? Cure toe a Felon,?A genuine reme? dy is worth- circulating. It is said that a poultice of onions, applied morning, noon, and night, for three or four daya, will core a felon. No matter how had the case lancing tho finger will be unnecessary if the poultice is applied. Tbe remedy is a sure, safe and speedy one. -j-? Preserved Eggs.?Eggs are naturally designed to last as long as the hen requires to get her brood, and the life germ can be preserved a few weeks?seven or eight? but no longer. The egg itself may be kept in a preserved state for two years by greasing with butter, oil or lard, but from the time it is thus put up to the end of two years it will daily lose its albumen by transpiration, and while its carbonic acid escapes to a certain extent, the egg meat will be reduced fully two thirds, and will shake. However, for eulinary purposes, they will do very well. -?,-,-. 'I'll Call Abound and Bat/?What a world of woo is contained in these few words to-the poor artizan and mechanic L 1'J)>call round and pay,' says the rich man, to avoid tho trouble of going to his desk to get the necessary funds, and the poor mechanic is-obliged to go homo to disappoint his- workmen, and all who de? pend upon him for their due. It is an easy matter to wort; the only real glory in this-life is an. independent idea of be? ing able to-sustain yourself by the labor of your bands, and it may be easily im? agined what crushing force there is in I'll call around and pay,' to the laboring man. who depends on that pay for subsistence:. If those who could would pay at once; it would place hundreds and thousands in a condition, to do likewise, and would pre? vent much misery and distress. ? Madder colors red, this is the reason why tho madder you get the redder you grow. ? One of the secrets of successful farming is to sell when others are buy? ing, and buy when others are selling. ? A little girl attending a party was asked by her mother bow she enjoyed her? self. "Oh," said she, "I am full of happi? ness ; I couldn't be no happier unless I could grow." f ? Mr. 0. A. Osborno, of Cairo, has in? vented a spring to be attached to the feet, by means of which a person is relieved of the labor of walking to a great extent. Ho claims his invention will enable a man to walk ten miles per hour with ease. ? A young lady took her younger brother, a little boy of three or four years, to church. The preacher was an earnest man, and spoke very loud. During the sermon she saw the little fellow in tears, and asked him what was the matter with him. He sobbed out: "That nlan is hol? lering at me.". ?A little boy of our city not long since had beheld somo cxplosivo experiments with powder among some larger juveniles, and afterwards understood that his father had administered to an- elder brother a powder. "Papa," said tho little fellow, "Buddio take powder, he shoot off and blow up!" "Oh, no, my son, the father re plied,"the*powder will mako Buddie well." '-Yos he will," persisted tho little hopeful, "he'll blow up if you totch fire to him!"? Sumter Republican. ? Greeley, of theNow York Tribune, gives the carpet-baggers of tho South an? other hint when he says in a leading edi? torial "that it is high time that Southern Eepublicans should desist fron hanging around the neck of* tho North, and begin to take care of themselves." The fact is, these birds of prey aro almost as much despised at the North as at tho South. They aro "going under" fast, and the ne? groes had better cut their acquaintance, and go with their own Southern people. The wheel is turning rapidly, and "tho right" will soon bo on top. ? Th*e true mission of woman lies in the family, where her very weakness be? comes a strength, her beauty an attrac? tion to good, hor soft and winning ways an enticement to nobleness of purpose and effort, and her loving sympathies a solace for the mischances of the strife in', the outer world. It is when a woman abandons those her strongholds and un sexes herself to battle as a man. that she inflicts a loss upon society and deprives man of his powerful stimulous. We can conceive no moro worso form of social or? ganization than one where unsexed wo? man would descend from tho high level upon which Christianity and modem civ? ilization have ptaeed her and degrade her finer sympathies by placing them upon a level with the coarser nature which fits man for tho battles of tho world. ? There was a man who-lived in CasB county, Georgia, many years ago, who had onco been in the State Legislature, and never neglected an opportunity toempha sizo tho fact. He was a perfect infidol as to new discoveries and the new sciencos, being perfectly satisfisd that if the world should turn over, all tho water would spill out of his well; and only giving in to steam cars by slow degrees. But all tho vials of his contempt wero pourod out upon the idea of a telegraph, and ho was wont to say that nobody need try to come "the green" over him in that wajr, for ho had been in tho Legislature. Finally, the stato road was built; and ono day work? men began to put up telegraph posts right in front of his house, and to stretch the wire. His oxultant neighbors thought they bad him on that occasion, and asked : "Woll old follow, what do you think of telegraphs now ?" He was concerned but died game. Drawing himself up an inch tailor, he said, "Gentlemen, when I was in the Legislature I gav? this uubjoct my vory attentive consideration; and I said then, as I say now, that it may do for letters and small bundles, but it will nev? er take a cotton bail, never!.'' < Sbarpe & Fant's Column.
