HOW BRIGGS’ BABY WAS TREAI
Thos. Briggs, of Detroit, has a boy baby
about ten months old, who is admitted, at
the beginning of this article, to look just
like his father and to lx? the smartest boy
baby of his age in' Detroit. Yesterday
morning thj child was sitting on the floor
playing with five or six big coat buttons on
a string, and taking an occasional nibble at
an apple to bring < ut bis first crop of teeth.
Mrs. Briggs and a neighbor were talking
away as only women can gossip, when the
baby hid the buttons under a mat and
started to finish Ids apple. A bit of the
skin got in Ids throat, and he gave a caugh
and a whoop and pnwed the air and rolled
over on his head. “Oh, them buttons! he
bag swallowed the buttons! ” cried the
mother as she yanked him up and shook
him. “Pound him on the back ?’’ yelled
the /other woman, trying to liold the baby’s
legs still. “ Run for the neighbors! ” cried
Mrs. Briggs. “Oh he’ll diet he’ll die’’’
•creamed the other as she ran out. And
the neighbors came in and made him He on
his stomach and cough, and then turned
him on Ms back and rubliod his stomach,
and jagged him about ail sorts of ways
until he got mad and went to howling.
Then a boy ran for Briggs, and Briggs
ran for a doctor, and the doctor came and
choked the baby, and ordered sweet oil ami
a mustard plaster, and told them to hold
him on his back. Every body knew that
those six big buttons were lodged in the
baby’s throat, because he was red in the
face, and because he strangled as ho howl*
«d and wept. They poured down sweet
oil, and put mustard across him, and wept
ever him, and the mother said she could
never forgive herself. Boys drove by ball
ing out: “Slab wo»xl for sale 1” and the
s isaors man went by shouting “Sharp!
sharp I” but that distressed crowd held the
baby down and shed their tears over his
whole length. The doctor was looking
serious and Briggs was thinking that he
hadn’t done anything to deserve such a
blow, when one of the women pushed the
mat and discovered the buttons. Then ev
ery body laughed and danced, and kicked
the sweet oil bottle under the bad, threw
the mustard plaster at the doctor, and
Mrs. Briggs hugged the howling angel to
her bosom and called him her “wopsy top
sy hops) dr par popsy little chttrh.”
Goon Max is B.u» Timks—lt is necessary
that good men should live in bad times,
not only to reprieve a wicked world, that
God may not utterly destroy it, ns he did
m the days of Noah, when all flesh had
corrupted its way; Nit also to season hu
man ouoverMtkm, to give check to wlck
ednesa, and to revive the practice of virtue
by some great and bright examples and
to redress those violences and in jut les which
are done under the sun ; at least to c*m
tend and struggle with a corrupt ag»,
which will put a slop to the growing evils
and scatter su- h seeds of virtue a» will
spring up in time. It is an argument of
God’s care of the world that antidotes grow
in the neightxwlH-od of poisons; that the
most degenerate ages haw some vxcvlh nt
men, wlh> seem to be made on purjK*e for
such a time, to stem the torrent, and to
give Mjcne case to the mis/riv* of mankind.

UNSOLICITED COMPLIMENTS.
From Atlanta Constitution, March 11, ’73.
Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one of
the leading eeucators of the State, and
liie High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions,
From tho Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air. good water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
j From Gainesvilla Eagle, Alnreh 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
! the youth of our country, than a sound
i practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in ot.ler
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
i ar and experienced teacher.

Clrnnie the Vitiated Blood whenever
yox find its impurities bursting through the skin to
Pimples. Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you
find it obstructed and siugeish in the veins ; cleanse
it when it is foul: your feelings will tell you when.
Keep the blood pure, and the health of tbe system
will follow.
Grateful thouannda proclaim Vint-caR
Bittkrs the most wondciful In vigorant that ever
sustained the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking
in the system of so many thousands, are effectually
destroved and removed. Says a distinguished phy
siologist: There is scarcely an individual npon the
face of the earth whose body is exempt from the
presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy ele
ments ot the body that worms exist, but upon tbe
diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these
living monsters of di-ease. No system of Medi
cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the
system front worms like lheyc Billers.

various o gan«, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for ti e purjx»e equal to Dr. J Wal
ker's Vinecar Bittf.es, as they will speedily re
move the dark-colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the
secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the
