ELLEN'S MISSION.
What a good little girl Ellen must
be, to go in every day and read to poor
Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown got hurt—al
most killed, by some sticks of tim
ber falling on him. lie was sick a long
while, and when he could get about a
little, he was a cripple, and had to
walk with crutches. Boor man, how
sad it was. lie was not a Christian,
and when he lay there day after day,
how lonely and sad he felt. But El
len asked him one day, if he didn’t
wish her to come and read some pret
ty stories to him. He said he did. So
she brought a Sabbath School book and
read it to him. Then he wished her to
come again. And the next time she
read the Bible to him. And finally
every day when her mother could spare
Ellen she would go and read, and talk
to Mr. Brown. -Well, after a while
the Lord made this affect his heart,
and lead him to seek the Saviour, and
finally he became a Christian, by the
means of his affliction, and Ellen’s
ministry. Are there not many little
girls that could do as much as Ellen
did? Let them try.
WEEKLY CHAT WITH THE LIT
TLE ONES.
My dear little readers, would you
like another “picture.” I'll give you
one of which I heard long ago.
The sun is setting, and his last rays
cast a bright, beautiful glow over the
face of a dying woman “who lies in a
lowly room.
The bare wall, hard bed and scanty
furniture tell their own tale—she is
poor—very poor, dear children. Poor
in the eyes of the world, and yet pos
sessing riches greater than could be
bought or even counted. Is not this
strange? but ’tistrue, for she possesses
the “pearl of great price.” But see—
her eyes wander around in search of
some object—and listen—she calls in
a faint whisper for Maggie. Who is
Maggie? Ah ! here she is. What a
bright little creature, with laughing
eyes, and winning smile. She creeps
up gently, though, to her poor mother,
and gazes awe-struck into her deathly
white face. Maggie feels that there is
something terrible the matter but does
not know what it is—she is scarcely
old enough to realize that she is about
to lose her mother —her dearest earth
ly friend—almost the only one.
“What is it, mother?” cries poor
Maggie in a terrifted whisper, as she
nestles closely to the cold bosom.
“My child,” gasps the dying moth
er, “I am about to leave you —going
home, Maggie.”
The child clasps her little arms tight
ly around her neck as she sobs, “Don’t
go—don't go, dear mother, and leave
poor little Maggie—let me go too—oh
take me with you.” ,
A spasm of pain crossed the moth
er's face at Maggie’s pitiful words, but
with a moment or two of silent prayer
peace and resignation returned.
“My darling child, this cannot be,
you cannot go until God calls you —it
will not be long, Maggie, and now kiss
me, Maggie, dear,” and reaching out
her trembling hand she grasped her
little worn Bible. “Here, ray child,”
said she, take this the only gift I have
to leave my orphan child—read it con
stantly, darling—and oh, may God
grant that in this holy book my Pearl
may find the pearl of great price.”
Slowly the pale hand falls from Mag
gie’s fair hand—the unsuspecting child
falls asleep on the mother’s bosom—
the sainted mother “falls asleep” in
“Abraham’s bosom.”
Maggie never forgot her mother’s
last iiij unction,and searching the Scrip
tures diligently, found indeed, the
“pearl of great price,” which is salva
tion through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus dear little ones, if you will
study your Bibles with hearts that
seek instruction, you too will receive
these “unspeakable riches.”

A NEW HEART: WHAT IS IT?
Children often hear affd sometimes
speak about a ‘new heart.” But do
they quite understand what tho word
means ?
A teacher once asked a little gi’rl in
her class, ‘Do you think that you lnive
anew heart V
‘Yes, teacher, I hope so,’ the child
replied.
‘What makes you hope so?’
‘Because I love the things which I
used to hate, and I hate what I used to
love.’
That was a good answer. All of us
‘by nature’ love sin. We would rath
er please ourselves than please God.—
AVe do not wish to think about him,
nor to serve him. But when he gives
a child anew heart, that child begins
to love what is good and right—would
rather please God than please himself
—tries to imitate the gentle and holy
Saviour—and wishes to do God's will
more than anything else in the world.
Dear children, have you anew heart ?
Then there will be a ‘new life.’ You
know, what we wish to be, we shall try
to be. It a child really has anew heart
he will be obedient, gentle, truthful;
he will love prayer, the Sabbath, the
Bible —things that once he did not
care about. When he does wrong he
will be very sorry, and will pray and
try that he may be kept from sinning
again. If there is not this new life, it
will be of no use for any one to make
believe he has a new heart. The con
duct will tell whether the heart is
right. But perhaps some of you are
thinking that there may be good con
duct without a change of heart. Per
haps there may, in part, and for a time.
Sometimes in the spring I see little
children go into the fields to gather
flowers; and they will pull out of the
hedge a thorn-branch without leaves
and stick on every thorn a daisy or a
butter-cup, then come home to their
parents with joy, crying out, ‘See, see,
what a beautiful bough of flowers we
have brought you 1’ It is very pretty
for a while, but the flowers do not be
long to the branch; they never grew
there ; very soon they will all be with
ered, and the bough will be fit for noth
ing but to be thrown away.
Those buttercups and daisies teach
us a lesson about good conduct which
does not spring from a sanctified heart.
Such actions seem fair, but they have
no root. They were not done because
right and holy; but, perhaps, from a
desire of praise, or a fear of punish
ment, or something of that kind. They
may seem good, but there is no real
goodness in them; and at last they
will be found all vain, and useless, and
dead !

REBUKED BY ROYER.
Lucy and John became angry with
each other as they were at play. They
went so far, I am sorry to say, as to
strike each other. Their mother parted
them. She took Lucy to her own room
and sent John to his chamber.
As Johu was going towards the stair
case, Rover lay in his way in the hall.
Rover did not seem to have any knowl
edge of the quarrel, nor of John’s state
of mind ; for he looked him in the face
good-naturedly, and rapped on the floor
with his tail. John gave him a kick
and told him to get out of the way. —
Rover ran away quite tail-fallen.
After a while John’s mother told
him he might come down and confess
his fault. He came down, but felt too
stubborn to confess. lie went out and
Rover came up to him, looked up in
his face, and licked his hand. John
burst into tears, and went to his moth
er, and confessed his fault, and receiv
ed her forgiveness.
LET THE CHILDREN SLEEP.
earnestly advise all who think a
great deal, who have infirm health,
who are in trouble, or who have to
work hard, to take all the sleep they
can get without medical means.
AVe caution parents particularly, not
to allow the children to be waked up
of mornings—let nature wake them
up, she will not do it prematurely;
but have a care that they go to bed at
an early hour; let it be earlier and
earlier, until it is found that they wake
up themselves in full time to dress for
breakfast Being waked up early,
and allowed to engage in difficult stu
dies or any studies late, and just be
fore retiring, has given many a beauti
ful and promising child the brain fe
ver, or determined ordinary ailments
to the production of water on the
brain.
Let parents make every possible ef
fort to have their children go to sleep
in a pleasant humor. Never scold or
give lectures, or in any way wound a
child’s feelings as it goes to bed. Let
all banish business and every wordly
care at bedtime, and let sleep cotne to
a mind at peace with God and ali the
world.
HINT TO MOTHERS.
A Christian mother in B , a few
days ago, whose lovely daughter had
her faith in the Savior very strength
ened—said, in speaking of her having a
hope before, “I knew she had a hope
before. AA T hen she was going to Florida
last fall, I took her in the room and
asked her if we never met again, if she
had any hope that she was ready to
meet me in heaven, Ac., or in about
such language, concluding with this
remark, which fastened on my mind,
“I was unwilling to let her go off with
out asking her if she felt prepared, to
die .”
“A word to the wise is sufficient.”
Christian mothers, how many of you
do likewise, when your children are
going off on long visits, pleasure ex
cursions, or to college ?
AV. N. Chaudoin.
HASTY’ JUDGMENT.
Stop there also my dear brother !
“AVho art thou that jndgest another
man’s servant ? to his own master be
standeth or falleth.” And “ why dost
thou judge? or why dost thou set at
naught thy brother”? You have said,
in substance, that be has lied and
knows it—that he was influenced by
corrupt and impure purposes, (not to
say motives) —that envy, jealousy, an
ger, bitterness, or revenge moved him
to say or do that which displeases you.
How do know this? Have you the
faculty to see and understand the se
secrets of his heart ? But if you can
not see, unmistakably, the secrets of
his heart, are you not afraid, with such
confidence, to attribute such shocking
motives to him ? Can you not admit
that he may be honest, sincere and con
scientious in saying and doing what
has offended you, even though you
may know him to be wrong ? Do you
never err and get honestly wrong ? or
are yon, in every such case, influenced
by .such or purposes as you at
tribute to others? and so judge others
out ol’ your own heart ( Suppose your
self to .be wrong in your imputation of
ill design to your brother, are you in
fluenced, in making the imputation, by
the same n.'otives which you ascribe to
him? Shou Id you claim honesty for
yourself, why’ not allow as much to
him ? Yon may not be a whit better
than he, and net’d as much the charity
that thinketh no
After all, are you right in your judg
ment of your brethren? Is it true that
so many of our bretLnen, who are re
garded as among the bv.Vt and most re
liable in the land, are so fiendish and
devilish in their spirits, .'Motives and
purposes? If it be so indeed, well may
we exclaim. “How is the gofld become
dim and the fine gold changed.”—
Perhaps, however, your brethren are
not as bad as you seem to think. But
if they are, until you know them to be
so, you ought not to judge them as you
do. In any case your rough judging
will not make them better. If yo n
must and will judge them, be pitiful,
courteous and kind. MONITOR. 1

THE undfcrsigned feels it his duty to render
thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ing counties, lor their liberal and extensive patron
age. While he begs a continuance ol their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that
many years practice in the principal cities of the
South and a complete Dental Laboratory, enable
him to make as elegant and perfect Dental substi
tutes of the most approved and latest style, as
can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“STYLE OF CHEAP WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for tilling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

CAVE SPRING, FLOYD COUNTY, GEORGIA.
THIS Institution for the year 1860, will be un
der the superintendance of Mr. James C.
Rrown, of Coweta Cos., Georgia, who graduated at
Mercer University at the last Commencement.
He comes highly recommended as a young man
of promise and ability, well prepared to take charge

patronage of its friends and the public generally.
Cave Spring is, doubtless, as well known to the
public of this State, as well as Cherokee, Alabama,
as a place, beautiful in its scenery, healthful in its
location, and free from the immoral influences to
which many similar villages are suoject. It is set
tled up by a moral and quiet population, and is
eminently fitted lor a classical School.
The Scholastic year consists of 42 weeks, and is
divided into two Sessions. The first commences
the third Monday in January, and continues 24
weeks. The second commences on the third Mon*
day in July, and continues 18 weeks. The first
session will close with a Public Examination.

SOUTHERN CORDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF TIIE BOWELS,
IS acompound of Southern Vegetables long since
known to the Medical Faculty, as a remedial
agent for the above diseases, but never before so
happily compounded. It stands alone on its own
merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All the Proprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This is the best tastimony, as
thousands who have used it will testify.
For further particulars apply to those who have
used it, and be satisfied that it is not a humbug,
but a good, safe, and very efficacious medicine for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
A liberal deduction made to wholesale dealers,
or Planters.
All Cash orders filled and forwarded forthwith,
by express.
A supply kept constantly on hand.

CANCER CURED.
subscriber continues to cure the various
A forms of Cancers and Fistulas, without the
knife. Patients frequently stay at home till death
stares them in the face, before they seek relief,
but then nine times out of ten they are beyond
the reach of all remedies. Apply in time and he
will insure a cure in every case. This is no Yan
kee tiick to take their money, for in all reasonable
cases he warrants a cure, AND IF NO CURE, NO
PAY.
He has cured quite a number in the last five
years, many of them of several years standing,
and even thought to be hopeless, for which he
could add some very interesting certificates and let

yourselves. All applicants must apply In person,
and be prepared to remain a month or two under
