Nfttioualßqmbliccm Official City Paper. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION Official Organ of the U. S. Government. THURSDAY MORNING January 16, 1868 A BEAUTIFUL MAXIM. “I live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the heaven that shines above me, And waits my coming too; For the cause that needs assistance, For the wrongs that lack resistance, For the fhture In the distance, And the good that I can do.” Leaves. —Gather as many as possi ble to use in hot beds next spring, and to increase the manure heap. Tiik Better Way.—Don’t whip the babies. Treat God’s lambs tenderly. Compel obedience, but not with the rod. Do not yourselves make shadows in the sunlight with which God always surrounds children. Do not let them be lulled to sleep by the falliug of their tears, or by their own sad sobs and sighs. Far pleasanter is it when you go to tuck them in at night, to find pink feet on the pillow, dimpled knees in the air, toys yet in embrace, and smiles on their sweet months. Your selves bear in mind their last words: “If I should die before I wake.” lOfficial.l Headq'bs Third Military District, 1 (Georgia, Florida and Alabama,) >• Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6,1867- j General Grdeks, No. 3.

Opinions of the Press. “Musical Festivals” several times postponed, compelling purchasers of tickets to wait months for the distribution, has impaired public confidence n such affairs. The only fair system of distribu tion is tile old and popular one of Sealed Tickets, stating the prize, which will be delivered immedi ately, on payment, of tho one dollar. That is the plan of 11. BARTON & CO., at 599 Broadway, the most attractive place of the kind now in oper ation. They are doing the largest business, and deserve their success. You can not draw a SIOO,OOO farm there, but have a reasonable chance for u good prize, as we know many that, have been drawn, and the firm is reliable.— Morning Adver tiser, Oct. 2 Uh, 1867, The New York Gift Company are distributing many valuable prizes. We have examined their manner of doing business and know them to be a fair dealing firm. Their plan is more satisfactory than “Presentation Festivals," as they draw every day, and the subscriber need not pav for the prize drawn, unless suited.— Uazrlte, Oct. 84/A, 1867. The Gift establish ment of 11. Barton <fc Cos., at 599 Broadway, is daily attracting crowds of visi tors to witness tile drawing process. The invest ment is but 2.5 cents for the chance, and tho prize drawn, if satisfactory, is immediately delivered for one dollar.
