A Newn.n paper-pub

districa of the State—whose population

thrilt-tells ol two widow ladies and
tbeir iamilies, occupying the same
house, who have been reduced to such
straits for food, that they allowanced
themselves to three mouthfuls of corn
bread, for each meal. This being
insufficient to sustain life, one of them
died of hunger I A Dalton paper, a tew
days ago, reported a death from star
vsiion in that county: and all over the
upper portion of the State, where to the
devastation of the armies was added
the blight of last year’s drought, the
destitution is appalling. And uearer
home —here in our own county—are
hundreds of persons, whose chief food
for months has been the scanty pittance
of meal furnished by the public author-
In view of this wide spread and bar.
rowing poverty, and of the general
gloom that pervades all business circles,
may we not expect of woman something
higher than that she should be content
to sink into a life of extravagance and
ease? Mav we not look to those whose
devotion so lately inspired the soldier
with courage, aud soothed his dying
agonies—and who are the embodiment
of all that is lofty in sentiment and
noble in action, lor some earnest effort
for the alleviation of the prevailing dis
tress? Fashion and its idle pleasures
are unseemly and repulsive, when they
aliure their votaries from the angelic
ministrations of charity and philau
thropy.
Nor would we appeal to the ladies
alone to look above the pleasures of
the hour, and find in self-denial, time
and means to devote to offices of
benevolence. Men, too, have their
Usuries and their follies, the curtail
ment of which would afford precious
rebel to the prevailing destitution ; aud
men and women alike, whose hearta
are properly attuned to seutiments of
sympathy, may find more substantial
pleasure in the alleviation of distress,
than in idle pastimes and luxurious
indulgencies. Let os remember, as we
devote the precious dollars to some
passing pleasure, how easy and how
noble it would be to send it on a mis
sion ot relief to some starving family.
According to Gnntcr.
The familiar phrase “ According to
Gunter" refers to Edmund Guuter, a
distinguished English mathematician,
who was born in 1581, and died in
1625. He is best known as the inventor
of the chain commonly used by survey
ors for measuring land, and of the
wooden rule—marked with scales of
equal parts, of sines, chords, etc., and
slso with logarithms ot these various
parts—which is used to solve problems
in surveying and navigation, mechani
cally, with the aid of the dividers alone.
Hence, in the popular use of the phrase,
anything is “ according to Gunter”
which is done quite right, and admits of
no question or improvement. The Eug
lish do not use this expression, but say,
“according to Cocker,” in the same
sense. Cocker, who was born abeut
the year 16112, and died somewhere be
tween 1671 and 1675, was the author of
a work on arithmetic, which at once
obtained great popularity, and ran
through a large number of editions.
Almost all the arithmetics that have
since been published in Great Britain
for the use of schools, have followed his
method very closely ; and, as many of
them professed on the title page to be
according to Cocker,” the expression
gained general currency.

A YOUNG LADY RETURN
ING to her country home, after a sojourn
of a few months in the city, was hardly
recognised b . her friends. In place of a
course, rustic, flushed face, she had a soft
ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness, and instead of twenty three sho really
appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as
to the ceuse of so great a change, she plainly
told them that, she used the CIRCASSIAN
BALM, and considered it an invaluable
acquisition to any Lady's toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their
personal appearance an hundred fold. It is
simple in its combination, as Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healiDg,
cleansing, aud beautifying the skin and
complexion. By its direct action on the
cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the samo, and leaving the
surface as Nature intended it should be,
clear, soft, smooth, and beautiful. Price

T BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN-
J. TION of the public to this wonderful
Steam Engine, whioh is cheaper, lighter,
less intricate, oocnpics less space, consumes
less fuel than auy other engine, and is
superior in every other way, it being in
faot a double cut off Engine, without tbe
friction of a double set of velvos with their
multiform attachments, and for its superior
merits was awarded the gold medal at the
Maryland Inatitute Fair, in October, 1866,
over all other engines. This invention,
therefore, forms the most radical
aod entire change in steam engines
which has enourred since the daye of
Watte, being durable, accurate, aod econ
omical in operation in space beyond all
comparison with tho past, and at far lets
original cost than ever before attained.
