Child’s Morning Prayer.
Father above.
Thou God of love,
To Thee I give
Thanks that I live.
All through the night,
Till broad daylight,
Thou hast ine kept
While I have slept.
On this new day
To Thee I pray.
Be Thou my guide; .
Walk by my side;
Make me within
All free from sin,
And fix my place
Within Thy grace.
My eyes direct,
My ears protect.
From words and scenes
Thy Book cundemns.
My tongue restrain
From things profane ;
My hands and leet
Both guide and keep.
And at sunset,
Let no regret
Os raisspen, time,
O God, be mine l
Still let me share
Thy gl.ii ious care;
And at iile’s end,
To Thee ascend.
For this I plead,
And all I need,
Through Cbiist my Lord,
The Sou ot God.
An Uncommon Lovers’ Quarrel.
“ My harp is all out of tune; the piano is
disoordant; the canaries pipe a shrill whistle
instead of their soft notes; and it rains—
and—”
“And what, child ?” said the pleasant voice
of Aunt Mary Denman, as she examined the
countenance of her niece.
“And 1 wish l was dead or had never been
born—or something —I scarcely know what;”
and Maggie Meredith’s beautiful lips were
pouted, and a strange cloud of sullenness and
dissatisfaction hung portentously over the
fresh young face.
“ 1 dislike very much, Maggie, to hear such
remarks as those you have just uttered, from
any lips; much more, my dear, from yours.
Life is not all sunshine and sweetness; but it
remains with us, as God-loving, God fearing
individuals, to be content with the part as
signed to us, and live it out patiently.”
“ Oh, yes, that is all very nice to talk about,
but suppose one wasn’t given any patience to
start with I Does a body possess a little
root or slip of anything, why, one can culti
vate it, of course; but patience can’t be man
ufactured. Harvey is all the time lecturing
mo. If it be necessary to find so much fault
now, the probabilities are we shall never be
happy; fori cannot and will not endure so
much badgering. I told him so last night,
and gave him back our engagement ring,”
and Maggie held up her forefinger dubiously ;
“and told him never to come near me again.
I vow I won’t be everlastingly talked to; so
there!”
“ You have trifled, Maggie, with one of the
noblest men God ever made; thrown away
the costliest pearl He will ever offer you.
Maggie, I am astonished.”
“Oh, mercy, if this isn’t tedious! You
talk, Auntie, like a mazy person. Do you
imagine, for a moment, that I court this ever
lasting hum-drumming 1 am compelled to lis
ten to, at home and abroad, from relatives,
friends and lover 1 Do you suppose that 1
do not, from the bottom of my heart, deplore
the fate that ‘sent me into this breathing
world, scarce half made up, and that so lame
ly and unfashionable that dogs bark at me
us 1 halt by them ?’ Richard, I suppose, was
talking about the hump on his back; I refer
to my mental and moral deformity. Some
way everybody seems to feel at liberty to
descant on my infirmities, and right before
my face and eyes too. I didn’t tell Harvey
to make love to me, and run after me two
years before he got a chance to whisper a
word of it. He has got impudence—there
is no mistake about that.”
“What is the trouble between you and
Harvey, my dear,” inquired Auntie, endeav
oring to calm herself, tor Maggie was very
dear to her. Ever since the death of her
parents, some live years previous, Aunt Mary
had had the care of her niece. She was keen
ly alive to the faults of the girl, but believed
that time, experience and the love of the
really worthy man to whom Maggie was be
trothed, would round off the rough edges of
her character, and bring out, like gold from
the refiner’s fire, the traits of true nobility
she knew she possessed.
“ Like the majority of quarrels,” replied
Maggie, “it originated from nothing. 1 said
that I hated beggars, that’s all.”
“Why, Maggie, are you deranged?” said
Auntie, who could with difficulty repress a
smile. “You, of all others, to say such a
thing !—you who keep the kitchen filled with
the objects of your charity. How could you
tell such a falsehood ?”
“ Weli, the other night, just as we were
getting out of the carriage at Pike’s—l was
in a hurry, I knew the opera had commenced
—a forlorn old beggar, his breath smelling of
whiskey, stopped us. It was awful cold and
Harvey kept me standing a minute or two
on the walk, while he fumbled in his pockets
for money to give the old vagabond to buy
more rum with. 1 was vexed and cold ; and
if he had let me alone, and not kept asking
questions, 1 should not have said the awful
words. J declared it would have altered the
case had the man not been a drunkard. Har
vey insisted that society was to blame for
that sin: and he as a member of it, would
never turn his back on a man who he knew
was eoliand hungry. He could not abolish
rum selling, but a starving drunkard was just
as much an object of charity to him {is a
starving minister. Good gracious, didn’t his
eyes snap though ! He’s as much too radical
as lam too willful. Then I said I haled beg
gars, any way.”
Aunt Mary could say nothing, advise noth
ing. She saw that, by a little judicious man
ogement on the part of the lovers, this grand
finale might have been averted ; but men are
not natural diplomatists. And so, with a
careless observation in regard to the weather,
she withdrew. Several dajs passed, and not
a word from Harvey.
“Ob, dear, bow lonely that poor little fin
ger looks,” said Maggie, one day, softly to
her herself. “It had been there long enough
to leave a ridge, too. I reckon the next girl
that Harvey Crittenden is engaged to will
have an easier time with him than I have.
He has learned a lesson from this as true as
you live, Maggie. It’s always the way with
men; one woman has to be victimized in or
der that another may be decently treated !
Well, lam glad for somebody ! Harvey i>
a glorious fellow sometimes. If that fellow
does not send home my photograph by to
morrow, I’m just going to send for it. And
row, Maggie Meredith, if you make a fool ol
yourself another minute longer, for any biped
under the sun, you deserve the rack. You do
hate beggars; stick to itand Maggie sur
veyed herself in the mirror, and promised
she would.
“Miss Maggie,” said the cook, bieaking in
upon her reverie, “ there’s an old man down
to the door who wants something to eat, and
a job of light work. Oeh, he’s a sick-looking
old ieliar entirely. Will ye be after coming
down, Miss.”
- “Another beggar!” mused Maggie. “Pm
thankful Auntie is out, or I might receive a
lecture on the beauties of consistincy. 1
wasn’t born with any of that, either. Well!”
said she, opening the back area door, where
the old man stood, “ what can 1 do for you?
Cook tells me you are ill and hungry, and
in want!”
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SODTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBRER 2, 1869.
“Yes, Miss,” said the old bundle of tat
ters, in low, trembling tones.
ft What is the matter with you ?” and Mag
gie’s voice was full of sympathy.
“Oh! nothing but the rheumatiz. Fvehad
it all winter, l’ts all 1 can do to take a step.
But, for the love of meicy,give me a mouth
ful to eat; I’m almost starved.”
“ Come into the kitchen, and we’ll see what
we can do for you. Cook, get him a good
warm cup of coffee, and whatever you have
good t<s eat. Would you like to wash your
face and hands ?”
“Oh yes, ma’am, if you please,” replied
the beggar. “1 was trying to put in some
coal for the folks below, but I was obliged to
leave it; I hadn’t the strength.”
Maggie with her own hands placed a basir.
of water, soap and towels before him ; poured
out his coffee, and set the chair to the kitchen
table.
“ Now eat just as much as you can,” said
she, filling his plate. “How much coal did
you put in for the family below ?”
“ Oh, about half a ton.”
“ Well, and didn’t they pay you for that?”
“ Oh, no, ma’am,” he replied. “ How
could l expect it when I didn’t do as I agreed
to?”
“ Well, that mau deserves hanging. I’d
take my affidavit that it was a man who made
that bargain with you, and allowed you hurt
gry and sick, to leave without being paid;
no woman would ever serve a human being
so scurvy a trick.”
The old man pressed his hand to his face a
moment, and then replied :
“ Yes, my dear Miss, it was a man; but
then there are very few like you in the world.”
“ That’s so,” she replied, and burst into a
hearty laugh. “Very few like me, you poor
sick old man; very few like me, indeed!
You wouldn’t believe now that I hate beg
gars, would you? That I have no patience
with anybody who is poor, ill, or unfortu
nate? Oh, pshaw, what in the world am I
talking about? Why, bless your soul, good
man, you haven’t eaten enough to keep a mouse
alive. Now tell me about this rheumatism,
where does it trouble you ?”
“In my knees, Miss;” and the old man
again hid his face in his hands.
“ Go to my closet,” said she to the servant,
“and bring mo that big bottle of liniment.
I’ll give them a real good rubbing myself,
and then you can take the bottle home, and
bathe them two or three times a day. Rheu
matism must be terrible.”
Bridget returned with the desired article,
and Maggie took her seat on the floor.
“ Oh, no, Miss,” said the beggar, a strange
tremor, in his voice, “1 cannot permit that.”
“ Why, you old goose,” said Maggie, laugh
ing, “ l can do you more good in five min
utes than you can do yourself in an hour. I
am used to these things. I’ve a dozsn on my
sick list now, for whom I have to perform
just such offices. What are our hands made
for, if they are not to do good with? Dome,
don’t be foolish !”
“ Maggie, Maggie, Maggie,’’ and in the
twinkling of an eye, the old gray wig, whis
kers, and eyebrows were removed, and Har
vey Oittenden, his face irradiated with joy,
love and a peculiar soul-satisfaction which
Maggie had never seen there before, con
fronted her. Maggie was like one stunned
for a moment, but quickly rallied, and as soon
as she could find breath between the kisses
showered upon her, remarked, saucily :
“Humph! Don’t you suppose I knew it
was you all the time ? Just doing it to show
off, that’s all.”
But a good, genuine burst of tears told a
different story ; and Maggie, clasped fondly
in her lover’s arms, sobbed out her joy and
repentance. Maggie is now a wife, but an
allusion to the rheumatism, or a bottle of
liniment, is quite sufficient to send her blush
ing from the room.
Puss and the Chickens.
The other day a cock and three or four
hens were sociably lying together on the sun
ny side of the fence, chattering about their
own affairs, and now and then throwing the
sand over their feathers, as is the wont of
chickens to do. They were having a nice
time Ido not doubt. All on a sudden, Puss
from the next door, in a great hurry jumped
over the fence, and not seeing where he was
going, came down directly on the sows, who
were at once indignant and alarmed, and ran
about cackling and exclaiming loudly. What
do you think Puss did ? Instead of going
quietly away, or making some apology, he
flew into a violent passion. He hissed and
spit, and then rushed after the old cock and
boxed him violently on each side of his head,
as though his own carelessness were in no
manner to blame.
I think I have seen a good many boys and
girls like Pussy.
“Mary, you have knocked off Willy’s china
cup, and broken it.” “Well, I don’t care ;it
was in my way.” “Where?” “Well, on
the shelf—and I didn’t see it,” and Mary be
haves as though she were the injured party.
“John, you have run over the beds in the
garden, and trodden down the little plants
just as they were coming up—how could you
be so careless ?” “Oh ! ot course I’m to
blame some way ! I wish T ever could have
any peace of my life,” says John, as though
he were the sufferer, and not the doer of the
mischief.
“Henry,” says sister Jane, “you left the
gate open, and the cows have come in and
spoiled my roses—l’m so sorry!” “Bother
the old roses !” says Henry roughly. “You
do make such a fuss for nothing !” And Hen
ry sulks half the day, as if he were the one
who had to bear the loss.
Don’t you think these children are very
much like Pussy ?— Child's World.
Have You Pulled up the Anchor?—
We. have heard a story of two drunken sail
ors who had to cross a Scotch frith at night.
They leaped into the boat and pulled away
at the oars with all their might; they pulled,
and pulled, and wondered they did not reach
the shore. In their. maudlin state they
thought the tide was set against them, and so,
in a wild fashion, they took spells of pulling,
but no shore did they reach. Great was
their astonishment, for the frith was narrow,
and a quarter of an hour should have seen
them at the opposite beach. “Surely,” they
said, “the boat is bewitched, or we are.”
The night wore on, and the morning light
explained the mystery to their soberer eyes.
“Why, Sandy, mon. we never pulled up the
anchor!” Just so; and thus, tug as they
inijjht, they labored in vain.
Many and many a sinner has been in like
case. He has tried to believe, always a
strange thing to do, but all his trying has
come to nothing ; peace has been as far off as
ever. The means of grace have been una
vailing, prayer has brought no answer of joy,
the man has been ready to despair, and
blamed fate and the devil, and a thousand
oiher things. Meanwhile the real cause of
the soul’s long delay has been unnoticed ; the
heart has never really loosed its hold of its
self-righteous hopes—never fairly pulled up
the anchor and trusted itself to Jesus. Read
der, how is it with you ? Have you heaved
the anchor? Have you done with self? If
not, all your efforts are idle, all your prayers
and tears are fruitless, and you see clearly
ihat they must be so. Man, up with the an
chor! let go every trust but Jesus, aud you
will soon be at the desired haven.

Sunday School Class Banners.
With banners flying and with armor bright,
The children’s army presses to the fight;
Christ is the Captain of this youthful hand,
Marching so bravely through a wicked land.
The Sunday school of the Baptist church at
Clayton, Barbour county, Ala., has recently
adopted the “ Class-Banner ” plan of arrang
ing the classes, which consists in giving each
class a distinctive name, —“Infant Songsters,”
“Little Reapers“ Singing Pilgrims,” and
names equally appropriate. These names are
inscribed on white banners—bound and let
tered with red cloth—similar in shape to
cavalry guidons, which are hung to staffs at
tached to the end of the seats. This plan,
which has been so successful elsewhere, prom
ises to give a permanent increase to the in
terest felt in the success of the school, and to
fill up and multiply the classes. Already
several new classes have been formed ; and
the “Infant Songsters —a class of very lit
tle children, organized three weeks ago, have
increased to over fifteen in number. This
class of little ones is under the care of Mrs.
Johnson, wife of the Superintendent, who is
also the organist of the school. In fact, to
her all the classes are indebted for their beau
tiful banners, as it was by her persevering,
persistent efforts that the letters were finally
cut out of the red cloth, and artistically
placed upon the white ground work of the
banners. I allude to 'this, not by way of
flattery, but to encourage other equally zeal
ous teachers who may yet undertake a simi
lar work, and also find themselves obliged to
bear the greater part of the burden, in order
to reach its final completion.
The names sel< cted for the classes were
suggested by the pastor of the church—Rev.
J. S. Paullin, brother Smith, one of the teach
ers, and the writers of this article, who was
kindly permitted t<> assist in the reorganiza
tion of the school under the new plan. The
following are the names of the various classes,
beginning with the Infant Class and closing
with the Bible Class, to each of which is
added an appropriate verse. Other schools,
I trust, will find them useful.
Infant Songsters.
They call u» -Infant Songsters,"'
Because the Bible says,
“ Out of liie mouths of babes ” there
Shall come the voice of praise:
Praise to Him who, before Me died,
Gathered dear children to His side.
Little Soldiers.
"Little Soldiers" of Christ’s army,
We shall fight the hosts of sin ;
And we know that if we’re faithful.
We the victory shall win :
Win by grace and power given
By the mighty Lord of heaven.
Buds of Promise.
Behold the opening ‘Buds of Promise."
How beautiful their leaves unfold ;
’Tis truth divine that gives the grace
Which in their heart secure they hold :
They hold secure, that it may guide their way
To full blossoming in eternal day.
Lambs of the Fold.
Jesus, we gather the "Lambs oj the Fold,"
As Thou didst call them in days of old,
Around our hearts, and at ottr side, to teach
Them how to live, if they would ever reach
The mansions of bliss in heaven above,
Where Thou dost dwell in the fullness of love.
Young Reapers.
“Young Reapers" —in many a harvest field
Follow after those who are set to wield
A heavier sickle in higher grain—
Still doth their labor bring profit and gain :
Profit and gain that shall grow and increase,
’Till from earthly toil we shall have release.
Little Gleaners.
In the harvest-field we labor,
“Little Gleaners ” of the fold ;
And we bring full sheaves at twilight,
As they did in days of old :
In the days when little hands,
Gleaned behind the reaper-hands.
Bright Jewels-
Ho, ye who toil for lands and gold,
Or seek the dross of earth,
•'Bright Jewels" of a price untold,
Come with the heavenly birth.
Seek ye bright jewels for a Saviour’s crown,
That He thro’ grace, at last, thy soul may own.
Early Seekers.
The "Early Seekers ” hope that here they’ll find
Him who. in accents so sweet and so kind,
These words to the people once did speak:
“‘They that seek me early’ in life’s young day,
•Shall find me,’ and walk in the heavenly way,
And strength I’ll give to all that are weak.”
Cross Bearers.
You need not think sad hearts
Within our ranks to find ;
For not a single joy departs,
As, < heerfully, we bind
The cross of Christ upon the heart,
And from Sin’s pleasures all depart.
“Cross Beartrs" is a cheerful name to own,
Till it is changed for “ Wearers of the Crown.”
Cheerful Givers.
Behold the '•Cheerful Givers ,”
More blessed than receivers,
Says the good Book we love
No giving makes us poorer,
If our hearts are made surer
Os blessings from above.
Singing Pilgrims.
We’re a happy band of "Singing Pilgrims
With faces full of joy and light,
For we journey to that heavenly land
Where day is ne’er o’ercast by night;
Where Jesus is ever the light and-joy.
And singing the blest eternal employ-
Truth Seekers.
“Truth Seekers.'" 0, what better name
That could have been applied
To those who ever are the same—
Close to the Saviour’s side ?
The Saviour’s side, where we are sure to find
That Truth which sanctifies both heart and mind.
Soldiers of Christ.
‘•Soldiers of Christ" is the name here given
To this band of young men strong.
Who belong to the army of Christ in heaven.
And are fighting ’gainst Sin and Wrong:
Though Sin and Wrong may defeat them to-day,
They'll couquer both in the final fray.
Bible Readers.
“Search the Scriptures,” for ’tis in them
Eternal life is found.
They tell you how to leave Sin’s mire,
And walk on holy ground.
"Bible Readers!" What blest employ,
To fill the soul with peace and joy.
Sidney Herbert.

Anecdote, —An Elder in the Reformed
Church, now deceased, some years since was
hearing someSunday school scholars out of the
good old-fashioned Helienbroek Catechism.
In that catechism the questions are asked
what names are given to the Church ? Ans.
The Church Militant and the Church Tri
umphant. Ques. Why is the church on earth
called the Church Militant? The answer
should have been : “Because it is in a state
of perpetual warfare .” The answer given by
the lad was: “It is called the Church Malig
nant, because it is in a state of perpetual wel
fare.” The circumstance is worth recording
as showing the strange confusion of ideas of
the lad, and the necessity of accurate early
instruction. — Cor. Chris. Intel.
Chinese Schools. —The Pacific, Sari Fran
cisco, says : “ The Chinese Sunday schools
have become one of the most interesting fea
tures of religious instruction in thij city.
Boys and men are eager to learn. They are
patient, earnest, attentive, and grateful for
the instruction afforded them. If the heathen
are at our doors, it is certain that some very
hopeful missionary enterprises have been set
on foot for their benefit. Our people are be
coming more and more interested in a work
which is rapidly growing upon their hands.
There is both room and recompense for a
great many earnest volunteer teachers.”
A Shrewd Answer. —Lady (at Sunday
school) —“And what do you understand by
‘the pomps and vanities of this wicked
world ?’ ” The head of the class —“The flow
ers in your bonnet, teacher.”

Immigration.
(For Us.)
I cannot look with that favor upon immi
gration that most of our public journals are
wont to do. It has, I think, many and great
evils, which far over balance all the good it
brings witji it. If we were always certain of
getting good, industrious, sober, quiet and
patriotic citizens, the gain would be immense
ly on our side. Rut how many of this char
actercome? Such are generally content to
remain where, they are—just where Provi
dence has placed them. It is the restless,
roving, unsteady man, or the fortune-seeker,
that emigrates. It is said we want capital
and men. We have capital enough among
us for a beginning, if our people would act;
and we have men enough also, if all would
take hold and work. We have too many idle
white men amongst us. And, again, if men
of capital come, who will reap the reward,
they or us? Will their money invested here
do us any more good,than our own invest
ments? Certainly not. It is true we have
plenty of room for them notv, but shall we
reserve none for the jptural increase of pop
ulation? Shall we compel our sons to emi
grate in the future bjflhaving all our land oc
cupied now? What twill become of the dis
tinctive institutions of the South if we get a
people amongst us who feel no interest in
these matters ? If we get men of capital and
influence here from other parts they, and not
us, will control our public works and public
institutions. The South, if she would live
and thrive, must work in, and by herself, and
for herself. We must, like the Jews of old,
remain as a distinctive people. We need en
ergy] and correct moral and religious habits,
and a.persevering industry. These, more than
men or money, are what we need. With
these money will come. 13. W. J.
How to Manage Fattening Hogs.
(For Us.)
Hogs do not thrive well nor take on fat
readily, it confined in close quarters. This
is attested by all my experience and obser
vation. They should have a lot of an acre
or twtf in which to range and take free exer
cise. Exercise is indispensable to vigorous
health. You should have a small pen at one
end of your lot in which to feed, and where,
also, you should have a warm, comfortable
shelter, to protect from inclement weather,
and as a place of repose. You will need a
small pen in order to be able to catch them
when you wish to slaughter. You should
keep this well littered with a view to making
manure. When you kill, let them bleed
upon this manure. Blood is a valuable fer
tilizer. Here you should fix up a boiler, to
answer the double purpose of cooking their
food, and scalding when you kill. Always
feed cold food; it makes firmer flesh. Give
copperas and charcoal once or twice a week,
while fattening; also, plenty of good water.
If your hogs appear mangy and dirty, change
often, and replace with clean straw,
and scatter sulphur afcaut in the bed occa
sionally. Slaughter, from Ist to 20th of De
cember. There is no economy in keeping
fattening hogs after Christmas. B. W. J.
Note the Weather. — A habit of observ
ing and recording meteorological phenomena
from day to day, is one of the most useful
and interesting recreations in which any man
can engage. It is especially desirable that
farmers should be able to predict changes in
the weather, for at least some days before
hand. This they may be able to do by at
tentive and continued observation.
Feeding the Animals aud Feeding the Soil.
It requires no great experience to convince
any one that the farmer who only half feeds
his stock realizes but little if any more than
half the profits realized by him who feeds
well. The person who feeds his cows amply
and judiciously, will be likely to obtain twice
as much milk as he who feeds sparingly and
with food to their wants. So the
person who feeds his swine with what is suit
ed to their nature, and up to the full extent
of their corporeal capabilities of digesting will
be likely to obtain double the weight of pork
over him who feeds- sparingly and without
reference to their nature and their habits.
And, in both cases, the increased cost of the
outlay is not twenty-five per cent, of the in
creased amount of remuneration. Hence, it
is clear, that one person in raising stock may
lose money—may not get back the cost of
feed and outlay—while another person in the
same business will nake money ; the growth
of his stock far exceeding the cost of feed
and other expense.
The profits of stock raising are precisely
analagous in principle to the remuneration
from cultivating the soil, the amount depend
ing on the manner in which it has been fer
tilized. Animals may be over-fed, or fed so
injudiciously, that diminished profits will be
realized. So in manuring the soil. But it is
clear the soil should have all the food it needs;
if deficient in any pa ticular constituent for
producing a crop it, should be supplied.
Hence the importance of carefully husband
ing all the fertilizing elements produced on
the farm, and returning them to the soil that
its productive qualities may not be impaired.

Lime and Salt on Orchards. —Wm. D.
Shipman, of Hartford, Conn., has had great
success with the use of oyster shell lime with
salt about apple and pear A liberal
dressing was given to the garden plot in which
the trees stand, early in the spring, and spad
ed in. (About one, a Winter Nellis pear
tree, it was omitted, and the result is, pears
of not half the size of the same kind on other
trees.) The crop of fruit is large and of most
excellent quality, from all the trees thus
treated. The fruit on one or two trees, last
year, was so small and gnarly that they were
destined for fire wood; but this year those
trees produced fruit, large, fair, delicious and
abundant. In relation to this application,
Mr. Shipman says if he were to make the
same again, he would do it just before throw
ing his garden into ridges in the fall. He
thinks, applied in the autumn, the lime, ow
ing to the freezing of the soil, would be less
exposed to air and water and the various
causes which destroy its quick or caustic char
acter, and hence its period of action upon the
soil would be prolonged.
To Wash Calico Without Fading'.—ln
fuse three gills of salt in four quarts of wa
ter ; put the calico in while hot, and leave it
till cold, and in this way the colors are ren
dered permanent, and will not fade by sub
sequent washing.
Oil of Roses for the Hair. —Olive oil,
one quart; ottar of roses, one drachm; oil
of rosemary, one drachm; mix. It strength
ens and beautifies the hair.
How to do up Shirt Bosoms. —We have
often heard ladies expressing a desire to know
by what process the fine gloss observable on
new linens, shirt bosoms, etc., is produced,
and in order to gratify them, we subjoin the
following recipe for making gum arabio
starch:
Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic
powder—put it into a pitcher, and pour on it
a pint of boiling water, (according to the de
gree of strength you desire,) and then having
covered it, let it set all night. In the morn
ing pour it carefully from the dregs into a
clean bottle, cork it, and keep it for use. A
tablespoonful of gum water, stirred into a
pint of starch that has been made in the usu
al manner, will give to lawns (either white
or printed) a look of newness, when nothing
else can restore them after washing. It is
also good (much diluted) for thin white mus
lin and bobinet. —“ Household.”
It is easy to judge of the age of a plucked
fowl, whether old or young, simply by the
legs. If the scales on the leg of a hen are
rough and the spur hard, you can set it down
she is old, without seeing the head ; still the
head will corroborate your observation ; if
that of an old hen, the bill will be stiff and
hard, and the comb rough and thick. The
scales on the leg of a young hen are smooth,
glossy and fresh colored, whatever the color
may be; only the rudiments of spurs are ob
servable; the claws tender and short, the un
der bill soft, the comb thin and smooth. An
old hen turkey has rough scales on the legs,
callosities on the soles or bottom of the feet,
and long, strong claws ; while a young tur
key has the reverse of these marks. A young
goose or duck can be readily told by the ten
derness of the skin under the wings, the
strength of the joints on the legs, and the
coarseness of the skin. — Moore's Rural Neio
Yorker.
Caution to Mothers.—A distinguished
physician of Paris, declared just before his
death, “I believe that during the twenty-six
years that I have practiced rny profession in
this city, twenty thousand children have been
borne to the cemeteries a sacrifice to the ab
surd custom of naked arms.”
“Boston,” adds Dr. Warren, “sacrifices five
hundred babies every year by not clothing
their arms.” What these little arms need is
thick, knit, woolen, warm sleeves, extending
from the hand to the shoulder.
The extremities require as much clothing
as the body. Women should dress their
arms and legs in woolen of some kind. The
absurdity of loose flowing sleeves and wide
spread skirts, worn in our climate, hardly
needs to be discussed.
The number of students at Dartmouth Col
lege is 418. The college funds, for the aid of
indigent students, is steadily increasing.
There are now over 80 scholarships, yielding
an income of from S6O to SIOO each, which
is appropriated to help needy students.

This Company issues all the various kinds ol poli
cies, and they are all Non-Forfeitable after two full
payments. They give a loan of 50 per cent, on all
premiums amounting to over Fifty Dollars. It is a
Southern Company and every Southern man is inter
terested in keeping the large accumulations of Life
Companies at home. In Fire Insurance the premi
ums are mostly returned to meet losses; but in Life
Insurance they are accumulated to meet the deaths
at old age, and only returned after many years.
The money retained here will bring better interest,
and thus swell the profits of a mutual company, and
benefit the insured in many other ways.
Every Southern man will be sure to assent to this,
and favor a Southern Company if it is safe. We offer
him precisely the same securities as the Northern
Mutual Companies, the accumulated premiums of the
insured, paid by the young, to meet the amounts in
sured when they grow old ntu. die, and in addition
thereto, a capital commencing with
$500,000.
Surely this makes it safe , and if so, let every man
insure at home.
THEN PREFER THE COTTON STATES LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
1. Because it is a mutual company
2. Because it is a Southern company.
3. Because it has a large guaranteed capital.
4. Because it has liberal policies.
5. Because its policies are all non-forfeiting.
6. Because it does not restrict traveling.
7. Because it has the best plans of insurance.
8. Because it will always have SIOO,OOO deposited
with the Comptroller-General for the special security
of policy holders.

Bladder and Kidneys, Fever, Nervousness, Chills.
Diseases of the skin, Impurity of the Blood, Melan

Most of the ailments here enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most prevalent
affection in this country, and as in many cases the
patient is not within the reach of a physician, it re
quires that some remedy should he provided that
would not in the least impair the constitution, and yet
be active and safe. That such is the character of the
SIMMONS REGULATOR there can be no doubt,
which the testimony of hundreds will establish.
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED
[■■““■■■■■■■■■■■■Pain in the side. Sometimes the
TTiTRti pain is felt under the shoulder blade;
IIVrH 18 sometimes mistaken for rheuma
-111 I llil tism in the arm. The stomach is af
fected with loss of appetite and sick
nesg, bowels m general are costive, sometimes alter
nating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, ac
companied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, accompa
nied with a painful sensation of having left undone
something which ougnt to have been done, A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly gensation of the skin ; his spirits
are low ; and although satisfied that exercise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up
fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several ol the above symptoms attend the
disease, but cases have occurred when few ot them
existed, yet examination of the body after death has
shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear. It
is a purely vegetable compound, is not injurious to the
most delicate constitutions, and will keep the liver in
healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid all
billions attacks by taking a dose occasionally to keep
the liver in healthy action.
For children complaining of colic,
In I I (headache, or sick stomach, a tea-
IKPfril a nri*P°°"< u l or niore will give relief.
lllUclllUlullchildren, as well as adults, eat some
——M too much supper, or eat some
thing which does not digest well, producing sour
stomach, heart-burn, or restlessness; a good dose
will give relief. This applies to persons of all ages.
Many persons, from eating too much, are restless
at night, or in day time are fidgety, wool-gathering,
can’t understand what they read, can’t keep their
thoughts on any one subject so as to reason well, or
become fretful. One or two tablespoonsful will give
relief.
Jaundice.— Tako enough Regulator after eating
each meal to produce one full action from the bowels
every day.
Pregnant ladies will find sure relief from their head
ache, costiveness, swimming in the head, colic, sour
stomach, restlessness, etc,, etc.

gUP TURKS CURED.
DR. J. A. SHERMAN,
Artistic Surgeon, respectfully offers his servloes in
the application of his Rupture Curative Appliances,
at his office,
No. 697 Broadway, New York.
The great experience of Dr. SHERMAN, resulting
from his long and constant devotion to the treatment
and cure of this disease, axsures him of his ability to
relieve all, without regard to the age of the patient
or duration of the infirmity, or the difficulties which
they may have heretofore encountered in seeking
relief. Dr. SHERMAN, as Principal of the Rupture
Curative Institute, New Orleans, for a period of
more than fifteen years, had under his care the worst
cases in the country, all of which were effectually
relieved, and many, to their great joy, restored to a
sound body.
None of the pains and injuries resulting from the
use of other Trusses, are found in Dr. Sherman’s Ap
pliances ; and, with a full knowledge of the assertion,
he promises greater security and comfort, with a daily
improvement in the disease, than can he obtained ol
any other person, or the invention, of any other per
son, in the United States.
Prices to suit all classes. It is the only, as well as
the cheapest, remedy ever offered the afflicted. Pho
