Never Say Fail.
Keep pushing—’tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and singing,
And waiting the tide,
In life’s earnest battle
They only prevail.
Who daily march onward
And never say fail!
With an eye ever open.
A tongue that’s not dumb,
And a heart that will never
To sorrow succumb :
You’ll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail;
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail I
The spirit of angels
Is active I know,
As higher and higher
In glory they go I
Methinks on bright pinons
From heaven they sail,
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fail:
Ahead then keep pushing,
And elbow your Way,
Unheeding the envious,
All asses that brav ;
All obstacle* vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom,
Who never fay fail.
In life’s rosy morning,
In manhood’s fair pride,
Let this be the motto,
Your footsteps to guide ;
In storm aud in sunshine,
Whatever n-sail,
We’ll onward and conquer,
Aud never say fail.

Fine at Home.—Don’t be afiaid of a
little fun at home, good people ! Don’t
shut up your houses, lest the sun should
fade vour carpets : and vour hearts, lest b
hearty laugh should shake down some of
the musty old cobwebs there! If you
want to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without when they
■come home at night. When once a homo
is regarded as only a place to eat, drink
and sleep in, the woik is begun that ends
in gambling houses and reckless degrada
tion. Young people must have fun and
■relaxation somewhere; if they do not
find it at their own hearthstones, it will
be sought in other, arid, perhaps, less
profitable places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the
ihome-nest delightful with all those little
arts that parents so perfectly understand.
Don’t repress the buoyant spirits of your
children; half an hour of merriment ]
round the lamp and firelight of home
blots out the remembrance of many a care .
and annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the unseen influence of a
bright little domestic sanctum.—[Life Il
lustrated. |
---^ ,-j
Beautifut. Exthact. — When the
summer of youth is slowly wasting into
the night fall of age, and the shadow of
the past years grow deeper and deeper, ns
if life were on its close, it is pleasant to r
look back through the vista of lime upon
the sorrows and felicities of years. If
we have a home to shelter and hearts to '
rejoice with us and friends have been
gathered together by our firesides, then £
the rough places of our wayfaring will t
have been worn and smoothed away in l
the twilight of life, while the sunny spots s
we have passed through will grow bright- j'
or and more beautiful. Happy, indeed c
are those whose intercourse with the li
world has not changed the lone of their j|
holier feelings, or broken those musical ?
cords of the heart whose vibrations are j,
so melodious touching in the evening of tl
age.
-- -
Conduct.—Adhere most scrupulously to t!
truth, and labor to preserve the strictest
integrity, simplicity, and sincerity.
Strive to be kind, forbearing, and for
frivinO’ ns vnn ran hnfli »*» fYintxJa l
foes. -1
Never sneak evil of any one, on any
pretence whatever.
Strive to commend religion by (lie cour- j
tesy, civility, and corresponding Character
of your conduct. *
Mortify lust, sensuality and sloth.
Shut out all evil imaginations and an- t
gry thoughts. " i

Power of Kindness.— Kindness is |
known to be « specific for many forms of
disease, and kind nursing for many more, t
Christ’s whole ministry was one of person- *
al kindness. Charity is the great lever of |
Christianity ; by it the messengers of the 1
Gospel cau open the eyes of pagan blind- '
ness; by it the ears of the most obstinate ’
and hardened man can- be unstopped ; by [
it reason can be restored and life saved ; r
by it every ill can be alleviated ; by it all *
obstacles to the progress of Christianity !
can be removed or diminished.
--*--- f
Talents.— Disappointed men, who
think that they have talents, and who hint [
their talents have not been properly re- 1
warded, usually finish their career by
writing their own history ; but in detail
ing their misfortunes, they only let us into !
the secret of their mistakes ; and in at;- t
cusing the patrons of blindness, make it !
appear that they ought rather to have ac- ]
cused them ol sagacity, since it would
seem that they saw rather too much, than
too little.; namely, that second-rate per
formances were loo often made the founda
tion for first-rate pretensions.—£Coltou.

is-" twelve pointed shovel and turning plow.) L
rould inform the planters of said comity that ,
,6 is prepared to receive and till alt orders, R
fhich will be done in regular turn, notifying “
he person ordering, us soon as ready. a
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
ut was gotten up in IJie South by an expe
ienced workman, on scientific principles, to _
uit the wants of the cotton growing continu
ity, and five minutes examination will satisfy f.
lie most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
nd in the end, the cheapest plow ever of- ?
ered.
They!will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie R
ounty, under the superintendence of an ex- “
erienced worninan and no moans or time will
e spared in making them neat and durable.
Tiie advantages of this over all other plows |
o the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- J
ng to the shop, time saved in changing plows a!
nd the smith's bill. In this you have four w
iistinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub- o
titutc in either,) which yon can change at t
ileasure on any part of your farm, no other fi

'ou have a small shovel, suited for all ordi- e
lary purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good -
timing half shovel for ridging and hilling and
dace a cutter before it and you have an cxcel
ent new-ground plow: in the third place, put ]
in both moulds and you have a large shovel, J
verfeetly suited to breaking out the middles
if cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
mtton sweep, all four working bettei Ulan you E
ran get any common smith to make of wrought 1
ron. Iu addition you have, by adjusting the
voitit, (which is made of the best of wrought p
dow steel.) five extra points and eleven extra i
iharpetjings, over otber plows, which is said, I
>y- some of the most prominent planters iu .

crops; and all this for *6 50-100, without -
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop price*. 1 will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20 f
tor S3 per lot or to U> - Arc, at $6 per lot.
