DALTON, GEORGIA, TUESD; SHE HATH FALLEN ASLEEP. She hath fallen asleep! It is well. She has thus lain her life burthen down. Long years did she bear the stern cross, But it fitted her brow for the crown! She may have forgotten e’eu now That ever earth taught her to weep. Let us say, while in sorrow we bow, It is well she has fallen asleep. She hath fallen asleep! Fold the robe O’er heart, so pulseless And still. She hath gone to her Father and ours, And our grief is His glory and will. The rest which He gives his beloved Is Iler's—the untroubled and deep ; And because we so loved her we say, It is well she hath fallen asleep. She hath fallen asleep! It is well. She will not be weary again. We shall lie down beside her ere long ; Then why should our weak fair complain ? We shall claim on the morn of our rising, Victor palms, which the seraphims keep. Oh, what crown the beloved In Christ, who have fallen asleep ! MY MOTHER AT THE GATE. O there’s many a lovely image On memory’s silent wall, There’s many a cherished picture That I tenderly recall. . home of my childhood, With its singing brooks and biggg, Thefefriends who grew beside With their loving looks and woras ; The flowers that decked the wildwood, The roses fresh and sweet, The bluebells and the daises That blossomed at my feet— All, all are very precious, And often conies to me Like breezes from that country That shines beyond death’s sea. But the sweetest, dearest image That fancy can create, Is the image of my mother— My mother at the gate. But she has crossed the river, She is with the angels now. I She has laid aside earth’s burdens, And the crowu is on her brow. i She is clothed in elean, white linen, And she walks the streets of gold— O, loved one, safe forever Within the Saviour’s fold. No sorrowing thought can reach thee; No grief is thine to-day. God gives thee joy for mourning, He wipes thy tears away. Thou art waiting in that city Where the holy angels wait. And when I cross the river, I will see thee at the gate. | MISCELLANEOUS. Health Notes. Persons who work hard under 20 years of age, should be allowed ten hours ! rest in bed. The health of girls is some- j Always air .your room from the but- ’ side air if possible. Windows are made i to open, doors are made to shut—the truth of which seems extremely difficult of apprehension. Every room must be aired from without —every passage from within. Let it always be borne in mind that cold air is not necessarily pure, nor is warm air necessarily impure. In all ordinary ailments and accidents secure quiet of body, composure of mind, ! pure air, pure water and simple food at*) regular intervals —being a little hungry I all the time. Children should be compelled to be i out of doors for the greater part of day- ! light, from after breakfast until half an hour before sundown. We do not advise a warm bath oftener ) than once a week. But we must consult j nature and facts. Each man should i bathe in a manner which, from observa- ) tion and personal experiment, does him most good. In matters of health and j disease each must be his own rule. Im mense mischief is daily done by ignoring this principle, which is at once the dic tate of a sound policy and of common sense. The more sick people can sleep, the sooner they will get well. Sleeping in the daytime, if before noon, enables them to sleep better the following night. Fun is worth more than physic, and whoever invents or discovers a new’ source of supply deserves the name of a public lienefactor; and whoever can write an article the most laughter-pro moting, and at the same time harmless, is worthy of our gratitude and respect. It is a bad plan to be always taking medicine; such persons are never well. A teaspoonful of blood from the nose has prevented many a fatal attack of ap poplexy ; hence a nose-bleeding is some . times the safety valve of life. Multitudes bring on themselves the horrors of a life-long dyspepsia by drink ing large quantities of cold water at their meals. Infants and animals never have dys pepsia if let alone, for nature is the wise apportioner. Thus is it with sleep. Nature, herself sleepless, wakes us up the moment wc have had enough, if we are not tampered with. Swallowing ice freely in small lumps ) ’ is the chief treatment in inflammation of the stomach. Old Age. When the summer of youth is slowly wasting away on the nightfall of age, and the shadow of the past becomes 1 deeper and deeper, and life wears to its close, it is a pleasure to look through the vista of time upon the sorrows and felicities of our earlier years. If we have a home to shelter and hearts to re -1 joice with us, and friends have been gath ered around our fire-sides, and the rough places of wayfaring will have been worn and smoothed away in the twilight of life, the many dark spots we have passed through will grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy, indeed, are those whose intercourse with the world has not e changed the tone of their holier feelings or broken the musical cords of the heart, so touching in the evening of their life. e - Lead pipe will not do to conduct wa- iter to fish ponds. It is likely to poison the fish. ABNLRDITIES. “Johnny, where is your pa?” “Gone fishing, sir.” “He w"s fishing yesterday, wis he not ?” “Yes, sir.” “What did he catch ?” 1 “One catfish, the rheumatism;, twits eels, the toothache and some little; ones. | Ma says he’ll catch h—ll to-night ; just ' waitftill he gets home.” At a dinner party recently gi fen in London by Mr. Lowe, ex-chanc< |lor of the exchequer, the conversation turned upon the unnecessary, passages ip the marriage service, when) the memler for the London university rcfei iwiil absurdity of a man who had no prbperty [ whatever gravely declaring that he en-! dowed hig bride with the whole of his possessions. “Now, when I married,” remarked Mr. Lowe, “I hadn’t a filling in the world.” “But,” chimed tin Lis wife, “you had your splendid huents.” “Well, but I didn’t endow you with them,” was the right honorable’^retort. “Yes, you may come again next Sun day evening, Horace dear, but” —and she j hesitated, is it darling? Have I given you pain ?” he asked, as she still , remained silent. “You didn’t mean to, J?m sure,” she responded, “but next time please don’t wear onq of those collars with the points turned outward; they scratch so.” A correspondent of a Western pstper having described the Ohio as a “sickly stream,” the editor appeptled thy “That’s so—it’s confined to its bed.’’Wfe*. One of our adopted citizens, seeing a bunch of bananas in a store, stood in si lent astonishment for about a minute, and then broke out, Begorra, thim Yanks beats the divil; and now they nail pick les to a shtick. “Are these soaps all one scent ?” in quired a lady of a juvenile salesman. “No, ma’am, they’re all ten cents,” re plied the innocent youngster. Call your wife pet names occasionally, and see if she don’t put a cushion on the ( rolling pin. People Will Talk. You may get through this world, but ’twill be very slow, if you listen to all ! that is said as you go; you’lLbe worried I and fretted, find kept in a stew, for med dlesome tongues will have something to , do, for people will talk. If quiet and modest, you’ll have it presumed that your *liumble position is only assumed ; you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or else you’re a for’ but don’t j get excited, keep perfeik . ’ I people will talk. If generous and noble, tin : their call you for people will talk. h & And then if you show a j las bold ness of heart, or a to take your own part, they Vt».tl call you an upstart, conceited and vain ; but keep straight ahead, don’t stop to explain, for people will talk. If threadbare your dress, or old fash ioned your hat, some one will surely j take notice of that, and hint rather j strong that you can’t pay your way ; but i don’t get excited, whatever they say, for i people will talk. If you dress in the fashoin don’t think ; to escape, for they criticise them in a different shape; your’re ahead of your means, or your tailor’s unpaid ; but mind I your own business, there’s naught to j be made, for people will talk. Now, the best way to do is to do as ' you please, for your mind, if you have ) one, will then be at ease. Os course | you will meet with all sorts of abuse, ! but don’t think to stop them, it ain’t any use, for people will talk ! Life. The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat, drink and sleep; to be exposed to the darkness and the-Jigfit; to-pace around the mill of habit and turn the wheel of wealth; to make reasen our book-keeper, and turn thought into an implement of trade—this is not life. In all this but a poor fraction of the con sciousness of humanity is awakened; and the sanctiest still slumber which make it most worth while to be. Knowl edge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone give vitality to the mechanism of existence. The length of mirth, which vibrates through the heart; the tears which freshen the dry wastes within; the music which brings childhood back ; the prayer that calls the future near; the doubt that makes us hesitate ; the death which startles us with its mystery; the hardships which force us to struggle; the anxiety that ends in trust —these are the true nourishments of the natural be ing. A couple of enterprising “Dutchmen,’’ “doing” the clothing business in Atlanta, are interviewed by a customer in search of a coat. The senior of the firm han j dies the new comer, and soon finds “a first-class fit.” In answer as to the price, the response is “eighteen dollar.” “Well, sir, I like your coat very much, hut don’t like the price.” “Yell, mine frent, z.e ywdcc is noting so you like ze coat. We let you take ’em at fifteen dollar!” The customer still complains of the price, saying that fifteen dollars was too much. This was too heavy for the dealer, so taking the customer to the . extreme end of the store, and drawing him into a dark corner, whispers in his car: ■ “Mine frent, I let you have zat coat for twelve dollar and a half.” . “Well, sir,” said the customer, “I . like your coat very much, and am .satis fied with the price, yet, I would like to s know’ why this mysterious performrnce.” “Veil, mine front, you see dot leetle man dere? He vas mine broder. He got ze heart disease, und so help me gra- - cions, if he vas to hear me tell you I i take twelve dollar und a half for zat I coat, he drop ded mit his tracks.” Y, JULY 6, 1875. Animal Wonders. In each grain of sand, there are mar vels; in every drop of water, a world. In that great spectacle called nature, ev ery being has its marked place and dis tinct role ; and in that grand drama called . Jjfe, there presides a law as harmonious •« that which rules the movements of the I stars. Each hour removes by death myr- I Jads of existences, and each hour produ y>«ions of new lives.

Crustacea they hunted down. Animals, when not living by respectable efforts, are either parasitas oi dependants; many would seem to%av> trades, or a' - e connected with branches of industry. There are miners, masons, car penters, paper manufacturers, weavers, iqce makers even, all working first for themselves, and next to propagate their kind. The miners dig into the earth, form natural arches and supports, remove the useless soil; such as the mole the chinchilla of Peru, the badger, the lion, ant, as well as certain worms and mol lusks. The masons build huts and pla ces according to*all the rules of architec ture, as the bees and tropical ants; there i are fish that construct boats that the waves never can upset, and Agassiz has drawn attention to a fish which builds its nest on the floating sea-weed in the mid dle of the ocean, and deposits therein its eggs. The wasps of South America fabricate a sort of paper or pasteboard. Spiders are weavers as well as lace makers ; one species construct a diving bell—a palace of lace. When theastronomer has need of the most delicate thread for his telescope, he applies to a tiny spider. When the naturalist desires to test his microscope, he selects a certain shell of a sea insect, so small that several millions of them in water could not be visible to the naked eye, and yet no microscope has yet been made sufficiently powerful to reveal the beautiful variegated designs on the ato mic shells 1 Aristotle remarked, and he has since been corroborated, that a vari ety of plover enters the crocodile’s mouth, picks the remnant of food off the animal’s tongue and from between his teeth. This living toohpick is necessary, as the tongue of the crocodile is not mobile. Lhe Mexican owl, when enjoying a siesta, puts itself under the guard of a kind rat, that gives the alarm on the ap proach of danger. Parasites are every where, depend on no peculiar condition of the body, and are as abundant in per sons of the mostjolmst as of'the most de-' in the muscles, in the heart,-iiT tricles of the b> ain, in the ball of the eye. i They are generally either in the form of ; a leaf or a ribbon, and are not necessarily \ as was once supposed, confined to a spe- ' cial animal. The parasites of fish have been detected living in the intestines of : birds; and there are some that, for the purpose of development, must pass into the economy of a second animal. He Was Bound Io Have a Kite String, One day last week, a little boy, who had been standing for some time in front of a drug store in Baltimore, enviously eyeing a large reel, well provided with “simmy dimmy” twine, as the boys call it, which was fastened to the top of the counter summoned up courage enough to walk in and ask for a few yards with which to fly his kite. The docter bears a reputation of being a good-natured man, full of humor, and very fond of the little ones, but the youngster ap proached him at a time when he was out of his usual mood, and he cosequently gave “No” for an answer. The urchin had made up his mind to have some of that cord anyhow, and he got it On Thursday morning the boy entered the store accompanied by another boy and a dog. Boy No. 2, having placed a bottle on the counter, demurely asked for five cents worth of squills and pollygollic, and and while the doctor was filling the order, boy No. 1 was tying the end of the cord to the dog’s tail. When the man of medicine returned to the counter the reel was flying like fury. The docter quietly reached for the pallet-having hung himself over the counter made a desperate whack at the cranium of the youngster, who he supposed was sitting on the floor helping himself But lo I the boys and the dog Bouncer were not there. The docter having tried in vain to stop his reel, was obliged to give it up on account of the heat it communicated to the palm of his hand. When he reached the door he beheld the boys upon the sidewalk about two blocks off, and Bouncer in the middle of the street going at the rate of forty knots an hour, the string pointing directly toward his tail. The reel continued to spin for some time afterward, until it stopped of its own accord. The effort of any merchant to get trade without advertising, is a wrong to . other business men in the place. Any one is w’illing to concede that newspapers are a great benefit to any place, and that > business amounts to very little in places , that don’t support one or more papers. > The men who support the paper do more , to build up the place, and make it pros • porous, and draw trade there, than all j other influences combined. Therefore, that man does wrong who tries to do business at the expense of others, and. j enjoys a prosperity that he does not con- j f ] tribute to sustain. > Crop reports are stunning, and farmers ’ jubilant.

A hired girl should be ingenious. One of them, in the employ of a West street family in Danbury, has discovered an unique way of extracting teeth. She suffered nearly a whole week with, an aching tooth, hut had not the courage to go to a dentist. One afternoon it trou bled her so much as to force her to look about for a remedy, and she finally hit upon a plan. With a piece of stout twine she made a loop, which she put . her tooh.

Food for Lean Women. If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a . pint of milk taken before retiring at night . will cover the scrawniest bones. Al though nowadays we see a great many , fleshy females, yet there are many lean . and lank ones, who sigh for the fashiona- • ble measures of plumpness, and who would be vastly improved in health and appearance could their figure be rounded with good solid flesh. Nothing is more coveted by a thin woman than a full fig ure, and nothing else will so rouse the ire and provoke the scandal of one of the “clipper-builds” as the consciousness of ■ plumpness in a rival. In cases of fever and summer complaint milk is now given with excellent results. The idea that milk is “feverish” has exploded, and it is now the physician’s great reliance in bring ing through typhoid patients, or those in too low a state to be nourished by solid food. It is a great mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat. Look to your milkmen, have large-sized,"well-filled milk pitchers on the table each meal, and you will also have sound flesh and light docters’ bills. The Healthfuluess of Lemons. When people feel the need of an acid if they would let the vinegar alone, and use lemons or apples, they would feel just as well satisfied and receive no injury. A suggestion may not come amiss as to a good plan when lemons are cheap in the market. A person should then purchase several dozen at once, and prepare them . warm, weak dajs of the j ci - v-'hqn acids, c Mmgand Sum* . Th. na]ic , or t h e acit ; zK-T v citric a»'rl Mill a 1 on tile lemon and jTm-nr-YT - ;".';; and forth briskly on the table to make it squeeze more easily; then press the juice into a bowl or tumbler—never into a tin; strain out all the seeds, as they give a bad taste. Remove all the pulp from the peels, and boil in water —a pint for a dozen pulps—to extaract the acid. A few minutes boiling is enough; then strain the water with the juice of the lemons ; put a pound of white sugar to a pint of the juice; boil ten minutes, bottle it, and your lemonade is ready. Put a table spoonful or two of this lemon syrup in a glass of water, and have a cooling health ful drink. An /Imerican A’arn. An Englishman—traveled, of course —relates that an American gentleman who had at an early day gone the over land route to California told him this: “We crossed the sand hills near the ) scene of the Indian mail robbery and massacre of 1857, wherein the driver and conductor perished, and also all the passengers but one. But this must have been a mistake, for at different times afterward, on the Pacific coast, I was personally acquainted with a hundred and thirty-three or four people who were wounded during the massacre, and barely escaped with their lives. There was no doubt of the truth of it—l had it from their own lips. And one of the parties told me that he kept coming across arrow heads in his system for nearly seven years after the massacre. — Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for Singular Death. Mrs. Sarah K. Putnam, a clairvoyant physician in Greenfield, Mass., attended a woman who had diptheria, and scrathed her finger with a pin while arranging bandages around the patient’s throat. The poison of the disease entered the slight wound, and Mrs. Putnam’s hand, arm, and at length her whole body be came affected, causing death. The Springfield Republican gives this strange feature of the case: “She claimed to have been warned of the spirits not to attend this patient, but that she, having a great affection for the young lady, fin ally decided to see if she could save her, saying she was willing to lose her own life if necessary to do so.” In an address delivered before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Hooker exhibited a won derful plant called “Dionial.” A Liver pool paper in an account of it says: “A fly was captured and put upon a leaf, which instantly closed, and, on reopen ing, it was found that the fly was com pletely dissolved. A bit of beef was afterwards consumed in the same way. The leaf was then fed with cheese, which ‘ disagreed with it horribly, and eventu ally killed it. Dr. Hooker explained that the plant’s action was precisely sim ilar to that of the human stomach. The leaf rejected a piece of wet chalk.” The Dadeville Headlight, a paper printed in Tallapoosa county, Alabama, says that several rich veins of gold, as valuable as any ever found in California, have been discovered on Eagle creek in that county.
