POETICAL. BE CAREFUL FOE NOTHING. Why art thou cast down, 0 my soul ? Uplift thee, and be strong, Thy care upon thy Maker roll! Thy sadness doth Him wrong. Beneath his eye Thy goings lie ; The God who rules above His child doth know and love. Come, gaze on yonder vaulted sky ; Say, can thy glance embrace The worlds wherewith the Lord most high Hath sown the fields of space ? Though skill of thine And strength combine, Yet never shall thy hand Create one grain of sand. Thy Helper is the Lord of all, He marks thy slightest sigh ; A thousand means, at His higli call, For thy defence are nigh ; Safe in His care No storm shall bear One hair from off thy head, Though nature quail in dread. Thou formed’st man of earthly mould, Almighty ! by Thy p 'wer ; Not Solomon, in gems and gold, Could match Thy simplest flower ; Thy single word Sufficed, O Lord, To fill heaven’s boundless sphere ; And lo I I faint and fear ! The worlds which run their course on high, This blossom sweet and fair, The stars in voiceless harmony, Yon leaflet falling there, — Shall these obey One law, one sway, And I aside be thrown, The sport of chance alone? Then with thy cares, my soul, have done; Thy giief beclouds thy view ; How shall not He who gave His Son Give food and raiment too ? The life is more Than roof and store ; No fear lest thou His child Be from His care exiled! Long as I live, my hand in Thine, I to Thy side will cling, For life is gain, O Guide divine 1 While safe beneath Thy wing; Lo 1 all is well ; Each iil shall tell For blessing, moulded still By Thy controlling will. If Thou give ear when I aspire, I’ll praise Thy tenderness ; And if Thou cross my heart’s desiie, I wi.l Thy wisdom bless ; All-gracious One, Thy will be done I Thy love I know, I see ; And I can trust in Thee ! And when Thy solemn call I hear, And yield my latest sigh. Then, 0 my Father, draw Thou near, And give me grace to die I So while at rest Upoc Thy breast My spirit Thou shalt keep, My dust in he. pe shall sleep. LAUGHOGRAMS. Cold comfort—ice in August. The greatest composer—sleep. Heaven’s artillery—the canons of the church. It is difficult to thread a needle that has a tear in its eye. No wonder time is often murdered, when it is struck every hour. Women as telegraph operators have proved a great success. They send the electric spark right through a fellow. While Scotchmen boast of the scratch ing posts of Auld Scotia, the Dundrea rys offset them by boasting of the ’itch ing posts of Hold Hingland. An ox that had been eating fermented grain, which was in preparation for ma king ale, became intoxicated, and was of fered for sale by his owner as “corned” beef. A Parisian dentist, who lives in the suburbs, has a summer house built en tirely of human teeth. He probably has more achers in liis grounds than any other man in France. An exchange gives two reasons why tin kettles should never be tied to dogs’ tails. First, it is cruel to the dog; sec ondly, it frightens horses. Let us add a third—that it is damaging to the ket tle. An Irishman has defined nothing to be “a footless stocking without legs.” A description by another Emerald is bet ter. “What is nothing ?” he was asked. “Shut your eyes, and you’ll see it,” said Pat. Why is a doctor better taken care of than liis patients ? Because -'hen he goes to bed he’s sure to have somebody to wrap him up. Who w r as the only man who was never spanked in his childhood? Adam, be cause he was bom grown up. Why is a hole in your shoe like har vesting operations? Because it’s reap arable. One ought to have dates at one’s fin gers’ ends, seeing. they grow on the palm. Soldiers in battle are not allowed to whistle to keep their courage up—that must be left to the bullets. It is a bad sign to see a Communist with his hat off at midnight explaining the theory and principles of true democ racy—to a lamp post. “Patty,” a lady called to a little girl who was in the pallor, “did you tell your mother that I was here ?” “Yes, ’m,” answered Patty, demurely. “And what did she say?” “She said, ‘Oh, that dreadful woman again J’ ” BEAUTY SLEEP. Sleep obtained two hours before mid night, when the negative forces are in operation, is the rest which most recup erates the system, giving brightness to the eye and a glow to the cheek. The difference in the appearance of a person who habitually retires at ten o’clock and that of one who sits up till twelve is quite remarkable. The tone of the sys tem, so evident in the complexion, the clearness and sparkle of the eye, and the softness of the line*, of the features, is in a person of health, kept at “conceit pitch ” by taking regular rest two hours before twelve o’clock, and thereby ob taining his “beauty sleep ” of the night. There is a heaviness of eye, a sallowness of skin, and an absence of that glow in the face which renders it fresh in ex pression and round in appearance, that readily distinguishes the per son that keeps late hours. Habit, climate, constitution, calling, and age, all regulate the duration of the period of sleep necessary for different persons. People of phlegmatic temper aments, invalids, and young children, require more sleep than they who are active, who think quickly, more rapidly, and are of a nervous cast of mind. Il is estimated that eight or nine hours' sleep is about the fair - proportion which every person should have who values his health, or expects his intellect to be in good condition. A person can easily ac custom himself to five or six hour’s of re pose, but the operations of the system will languish in a degree proportionate as they are deprived of their natural rest. The necessity of sound and refresh ing sleep to all is greater than the need of food, drink, warmth, or anything else that nourishes and preserves the body. Repose taken at the right time affects the system very differently from that ob tained later in the night. Sound sleep from ten to six will keep the body and mind in a very different state from that where rest is only taken from one unti. eight in the morning. Light, thoroughly ventilated bedcham bers, are indispensable for all. No one can be vigorous in constitution whose sleeping apartment is not cleanly and well aired. It is important to acquire the habit of retiring early, as only persons of a low order of intellect can, like cats and dogs, summon sleep at will; and there is no thing so powerfully controlled by habit as this state of unconsciousness. Tin art of procuring sound and refreshing sleep at w r ill has never been learned, but the greatest thinkers upon the subject maintain that the closer the mind can be concentrated on one monotonous sound or sensation, the sooner it will find obliv ion. The murmur of the ocean, the cab of the katydids, the low r , sweet voice of woman will often soothe the mind to rest, and woo soft slumber to the restless couch. “Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care. The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath. Balm of hurt minds, great Nature's second course, Chief nourisler in life’s feast.” Persons constitutionally wakeful should partake plentifully of lettuce, onions, cel ery, and other vegetables having sopor ific qualities. A hop pillow is very sooth ing to a sleepless temperament. The peacefulness of a fair conscience; the music of a sweet “Good-night” from a beloved companion, and the baptism of a blessing sought, are the best recipes for sound and healthful slumber. A POOR JOKER. Minister Schenck's jokes are not ap preciated in England. Schenck met a son of Ben Holliday some time ago, and afterwards meeting a gentleman named Christmas, be conceived a pun. Said the General: “ I think I have met a relative of yours —a Mr. Holliday.” “I think not,” said Christmas; “I have no rela tives of that name.” Subsequently Schenck told the story at a dinner-party, and the guests each glared at his neigh bor, and no one saw the joke. At last one noble lord feebly laughed, and said: “Ah! yes, very good, General. Ah, were they —ah —related, you know ?” AN EXAMPLE. A writer in the Californian delivers a Sunday-school address, of which the fol lowing passage is an example: “You boys ought to be kind to your little sisters. I once knew a bad boy who struck his little sister a blow over the eye. Although she didn’t fade and die in the early summer time, when the June roses were blowing, with the sweet words of forgiveness on her pallid lips, she rose up and hit him over the head with a rolling-pin, so that he couldn’t go to Sunday-school for more than a month, on account of not being able to put his best hat on.” If a young lady wished a young gent to kiss her, what papers would she men tion ? No spectators, no observers, and as many times as you like. H. C. SCHMIDT, DRAPER&TAILOR ELBEKTON, GA. fiST'Shop over the Store of J. H. Jones & Go. Iron in the Blood FIpI MAKES THE WEAK STRONG. The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect ed Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, is so combined as to have the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated with the blood as the simplest food. It increases the quantity of Nature’s Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, and cures ‘’a thousand ills,” simply by Toning up,lnvigorating and Vitalizing the System. The en riched and vitalized blood per meates every part of the body, repairing damages and waste, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed upon. This is the secret of the won derful success of this remedy in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Loss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or ac companied by debility or a loio state of the system. Being free from Alcohol, in any form, its energizing effects are not fol loived by corresponding reac tion, but are permanent, infu sing strength, vigor, and new life into all parts of the system, and building tip an Iron Con stitution. Thousands have been changed by the use of this remedy, from tvealc, sickly, suffering crea tures, to strong, healthy, and happy men and women; anil invalids cannot reasonably hes itate to give it a trial.
