And dance, and feel so gay ; But now this little baby thing Has stolen my youth away ! I am not old, at least in years, My hair’s not streaked with grey, No wrinkles on my face appears, And yet—‘‘I’ve had my day !” How lovingly my head did bend To Charles, when he catne! I never dreamed ’twould put an end To parties, ’tnid such game. Before the bridal charm took flight, A noveity I seemed, And when I danced aud felt so Bright, No harm was ever dreamed. But by and by my baby came, And up sprung in my heart A holy, tender, deathless flame, Of which toy life seeii jed part. But sparkling eyes, aud sunny sniilq, With dimples deed and rare, In hairy form, cannot beguile The heart of Fashion fair. They ridicule such joys as mine, They care for me no more ; My husband’s ceased to be divine, My baby's thought a bore. So now they never ask nte out, They have no room, they say, For married people all about Their dancing rooms so gay. Butin the “German’s” maze and glee, '1 lie girls should bear in mind, H he rery things trliich hunt shed me, They' re trying hard to find Frou-Frou. is teP frafons ♦ siri-: NOTICE- Atlantic * Gulf Railroad Co., < Savannah, December 15, 1809. ) N AND AFTER THIS DATE, BY AGREE- O MEN f, the rate of Freight between Savnn- nan aud Macon, by the Atlantic and Gul! and Ma con i;nd Brunswick Railroads, will be as follows : $2 30 ’irst class per pound .

October !!». 1869 « tf The following we ciii) from ilie Sail Lake City Telegraph. The Oneida community beats the Mormons and we would we think, prefer the latter, when viewed in the light of social, political and domestic economy. The Oneida community is founded upon the same system that was adopted by the be lievers in Christ, as related in the 4th chapter of the Acts and U2nd verse, lint every otic to bis owe taste say we, provided bis neighbors rights are res pected : l From Salt Lake City Telegraph.] The (incida Commuiiiiy Interviewed. That a community could be found 3<i disregarding to the fullest extent the obligations of the marriage relationship denying die legitimacy of all such ties believing in and practising a free and VCT'ttiiY.LOf.T 1ftcrfrerab'.iruns ‘\uh, jioiiu,- iill, seems a strange anomaly. Tct such a community exists in die Free- lovers of Oneida. A well known Eas tetn journalist, M. M. I’omeroy, lately visited die settlement and “interview ed” some of die leading members, and rrjves the result of his visit in nine col umns and a half of the ISew \ork Demociat, from wlucli we make some extracts ,illustrative ot tree-love view? and actions. The visitor was more anxious at (irst to learn something concerning their f ie y sexual relations than their industrial pursuits, arid directed his questions ac cordingly. He said : We’ll suppose a case. To get at what we want, suppose, diat we have just arrived here as a member of your society. Now, y ou men do not look like persons who would like to live her mits, alone all your days, like Robin son Crusoe, with no one around except Man Friday. Life to us without the companionship of woman would be very dull, gloomy and irksome. Sup pose we come to you as one ot you and say : Gentlemen, here we are. ‘‘Well, then, we should say you are here. You would do as we do.” Yes, but we want somebody to sew ou shirt-buttons, darn our stockings, fix our garters, do a hltle work with needle and thread once in awhile. Sometimes to put camphor, cologne, bav-rum and Florida water oh our head when it aches, as it often does from overwork. To fix up our hair and handkerchiefs, to hold our head in her lap, and tell us once in a while, in a whisper, so that no one else would understand it that she loved us. Not merely for the sake of having these things done, but to know that among all of God’s millions‘there was some one, some earnest, true, loving, virtu ous woman who was ours to live for, and make happy—in short, a wife, as the word is used by the public at large. “We have all that. Every one of us has a woman to take care of bis tilings to sew on buttons, pul his room in or der, and camphor on his head, as you say, to bring bis clothes from the laun dry, and to whom he looks for all these lit tie attentions which men and women should bestow upon each oth er.” Then each one of you persons has what you would call a wife, the same as us persons not belonging to your Community have, who are married and raising families ? “We have no wives here. We know nothing of marriage as you de fine die word. We are ail married men and women ; all together in one family ; no partiality being shown to this one or that one.” Do you menu to tell me that none of you men are married ? That you have no wives in the wifely acceptation of the term ? “We have no wives, as you call lliern. We call them ‘mothers’ here. I have no wife, hut l have a ‘mother.’ She takes care of my room, and does till this little fine wmk, you speak of talks with me and I with her when the time come.” These olner gentlemen here ar« in the same fix, are they ? Each one with an object of attachment, so to spe.fk ; inside, of course, of y r our lines of love to Christ ? “Yes, each one of us is so situated. Now, this gentleman here [pointing to one on his right] has two daughters in this, community. One of these (laugh ers acts as his ‘mother!’ What is that? Do you say that man’s daughter is his ‘mother.’ Rath er singular ! “He has two daughters. One of them is his ‘mother,’ so-called, who takes care of his clothing, &c. The other daughter is the ^mother, of an other of our brethren.”’ Not satisfied with this, die interview er follows up his queries : Suppose one of your women here, one of your “mothers,” or whatever you may call them, becomes the par ent of four children, does it follow that one man is the father of die four ac cording to your r ules, religion, &c\? “By no means. A woman is not obliged to have any one man as the father of her children.” Then you know nothing here of be ing true to each other—that is, living a life of constancy, man to woman, and woman lo man ? “Not as you use lhe word, hut ns we do. For in loving one another, and conferring happiness upon each other, we believe wc are true to each other.” Then you would not consider it wrong, upon returning to your room at night, lo find a brother occupying your place in your sleeping apartment, with the one you expected to repose with from early night till dewy morn. “No; we should not consider any wrong was being done. But these mistakes, as you might call them, do not occur.” The journalist continues his investi gations, and wants to know it he were to become a member of die Commun ity, whether he could get a room to him self a “think shop”—and is informed that be could, if he were received. He betrays anxiety with regard to a part ner to do the “eau de cologne” busi ness, and inquires whether he would have to stand in the hall until a suitable one would pass, and then tip her die wink, call her into llie corner, introduce himself, and say “Mariar .w U— -r J low candle turned down low and a memorandum book r” But be is in formed “not exactly” and told : “Well —the love of Christ so fills our hearts that we do not w»ml that which anoth er has ; and if we did want it, it is all right that we should have it.” To the inquiry fcvhat. would be done in die case of those who became heret ical to the faith, the answer was given that they would be at liberty to de part, taking with them what money. had brought, but without receiv ing any intereston if Further ques tions elicited the following: Then you have no constancy other than your religion is subservient to that ? You put up goods, manufacture certain articles, selling them to the best advantage, and vou enjoy yourselves, when comes the hour for relaxation, as inclination sug gests or dictates ? “Yes, we live here as brothers and sisters—all alike. What belongs to fine belongs to all. As brothers and sis ters think it no harm lo kiss each other promiscuously, so do we think it no imrm nor sin to confer happiness when ever, wherever, and by whatever means we can lo those of our own Community. And the women consid er that we are doing them • honor in showing them the attentions you hint at and openly speak of.” Do you room apart—the men here and woman there—or domicile logeth- try exceedingly anxious to legislate the Republic lo a higher condition of mor ality than is found existing anywhere else, and here is an excellent opportu nity for them to try their hand, after they have disposed of the gross immor ality existing in the cities and towns throughout the Union, Yet as these Free-lovcrs meddle with nabody out side iher community are industrious and peaceable, exercise a powerful in- flence over business men in their neigh borhood b}' directing their trade en tirely to those who are friendly, and embody their peculiar views and prac tices in their religious fail!), it is rather a difficult matter lor highly moral leg islators to handle A Christian’s View of Shylock. Es*ay read by M. A. W. Gilrnan, at the late Senior Exhibition of the Ro chester University. It merits a care ful perusal: SHYLOCK. To be able to judge with any degree of intelligence of the merits of an au thor, we must study not only his works but lhe influences which moulded bis opinions. We must, so far as history will enable us, pul ourselves in his place and look at the world as he saw it. This statement is applicable to all authors, hut especially so to Shake speare. And our conception of his character of Shyloek, unless we do re sort to history for aid will be grossly in adequate. Nearly three hundred years have passed since the “Merchant of Venice” was written. Ten generations of Jews have lived and died. If we knew noth ing of the history of this people, judg ing merely from the universal law of change, should we not be justified in asserting that the Jew of to day diflets widely from his brother of the Six teenth Century ? But let us turn to the history of the “middle ages,” and see to what extent Shyloek represents his people in Shakespeare’s time. There are two sides to the Jewish character, and it is only by studying both that we can form a correct opin ion. If we look at the Jews of the “middle ages” without prejudice, we see among them many ofi’tie foremost men of their times. The best .scholars ond physicians were Jews. And to day Europe is enriched by the method and impuLajwhicb Jewish enterprises gave lo trade and commerce. But of the “middle ages” saw but one side of ilie Jewish character, because they were determined to see in ihe Jew nothing good. They were constantly looking for his faulls, and were ever ready to magnify them. It They saw him enterpiisingand thrifty, they call ed him avaricious. If he look any compensation for the use of money, they charged him with usury. If he healed the sick, he did it by magic. Shakespeare sels out to write a play forlhe common people. To he suc cessful his characters must conform to 1 have, said tb it there were no laws to protect the Jews. Yet at times they received a sort of protection. Kings and princes found in ill is people a means of replenishing their empty cof fers. They would protect the Jew for a time, ui> , 'l lie had possessed himself of immense wealth, and then, lo the grjat gratification of thh Christians, confiscate his entire possessions. And in Shyloek we haye a fine illustration of ibis.. He.leaves the stage Heeced of his last ducat amid the jeers of the people. We might go further, but it is not necessary. If we have studied the “Merchant of Venice,” we cannot fail to see that Shakespeare had a thorough knowledge of Jewish character. For although to the casual observer he has paiuted ihe popular Jew of the “mid dle ages,” yet upon close scrutiny we find that be has endowed Shyloek with qualities and made him utter senti ments which in many respects make him far superior to the Christians with whom he is brought in contact. We see also that Shakespeare understood ihe treatment to which the Jews-had been subjected, It lequires but little aid from tbe imagination to convert the “Merchant of Venice” into a withering satire upon the Christians of the “mid dle ages.” It is Shakespeare speaking through Shyloek who asks “hath not a Jew eyes ?” protection of her dead at Fredericks burg. It was a righteous act on her part, for it is iier solemn duty to guard the graves of her children wherever found. They test, however, in Vir ginia, where the grave of the Southern soldier who fell under Lee and Jackson will ever be il hallowed spot. But our dea'd at Gettysburg find no resting place. Their bones lie scattered on that terrible field, exposed lo every in sult, polluted and cast out by North and South, by friend and foe. The Soldier’s National Cemetery has no place* for them, as it is only for “the remains of those who fell in defense of the Union and they are thrown out of the shallow sepulchres in which, in our haste, on the field of battle, we in terred them, exposed to every insult “as the farmers cultivate llieir fields.” If there is indeed any one thing that makes us tremble most of all for ihe future of our country, it is the quick oblivion that covers the past. The na tion that r;e. r er remembers the past will never be mindful of the future. The present alone will he its God. We ask. Shall this he 50 in the South ? Shall the North provide for its dead, and have we no thought for ours ?—- Where is our boasted pride and chiv alry ? Eighty-five dollars from Ala bama, and forty-six dollars from Geor gia ! Not hit from South Carolina! If you prick us do we j Nothing from Tennessee! Nothing I lrom Mississippi ! Nothing from Tex- nor bleed ?’,’ The character of Shyloek is highly j as! Nothing from painted. In him Shakespeare has tin- jirig from Florida! ileil all the extreme characteristic of his race. He puts him lor an entire people. In this light he presents him to the Christian world and says, “Be hold your work—it character which you have formed. Is he avaricious? low have taught him avarice. Is he cunning? You have taught him decep tion. Docs he hale you? You have forced him to it. Do you condemn him ? Your condemnation fail your own beads.” Arl iansas! Noth- upon Gettysburg-General XL. 32. hee.

To Mrs. , Richmond, Va.: The above letter was received in Richmond bv one of the Directors ol tbe Hollywood Memorial Association enclosing a very handsome Contribu tion from General Lee to aid in the re- . . . Irnoval of the Confedertite dead from It was to please tne _ . ‘ 1... m Gettysburg. As it was a private letter, popular notions here I enemies of the Jews that mwle I it notTpuldished until permission Everything jbhyloek say, ' I hou slickest a dagger wa a . uci j | jy General Lee. In a 3 ti “Oh, that is at it happens. Some of the women sleep in this part of the house, and some in that; some of the men here and some there. We have our rooms, of course, but all are cared for alike—and if one man happens to be found in another man’s room, or vice vena, there are no hard feelings i it is all right.” “We presume you have keys upon the doors, so that a man would not bo disturbed in bis devotions? And. of course, you would not tolerate tbe breaking of locks? “Yes, our doors have locks.’’ Are you taking in any new mem her? ? “No, we have all we can care for. We prefer to look, more to the welfare of those we have,’ than to take in any new ones.” We have not space to clip at greater length from the article. The writer describes the dinner which he was in vited to partake of, excellent in quali ty and variety ; goes at some length into the views entertained by the free- lovers concerning propagating children; and speaks somewhat of an infant, the fruit of bringing together a couple to test a “certain theological, physiologi cal, phrenological, temperalogieal, an li-pasr-ionistical, subduialed-affitucal theory of producing offspring. This couple, the man the son of Noyes, the head of the community, were set apart lor this special purpose, and never in dulged in similar relations together be fore, nor alter the object in view was accomplished. There is a large party in the coun- in me : 1 shall never see my gold a- gain.” And again, Seuor Antonio, many limes anil «!t in the Rialto you have rated me about my moneys and my usuries.” We must bear in mind .that at this time money was regarded as “barren metal,” and all interest, no matter bow small, was looked upon as usury. To the Jews belong the honor of having exploded this false notion. It is true that the Jews of the “mid dle agaes” were noted tor their love of gain. And with good reason. Mon ey was their only defense against op pression, It is true also that they de manded enormous interest. But they were simply following a universal law —a law which lies at the very founda tion of all success in business. The gain iriusl be in proportion to the risk. Why does an underwriter charges a greater premium on one cargo than another ? Why were our citizens un willing to pay par value for Govern ment bonds in ’03? There was no laws to protect the Jews in llieir business They were liable, at any time, to lose both" principal and interest. They must make up for this rise by an in crease of compensation. It is true that the Jews 1 rated the Christians. And well they might. The evil traits in the Jewish character were at this lime developed loan enor mous extent. It was not a natural de velopment. It was not the work of a single generation or of a single nation, but of centuries of wide-spread op pression. It was the result of a per secution such as no other people ever suilercd—a persecution far more bitter that Egyptian bondage. Did they suf fer anything in Egypt worse than death ? Any death worse than by the faggot and the stake ? The barbarians of Africa must become more barbarous before they can equal the cruelty of.the persecution which this people suffered at the bauds of those who called tbein- -eives Christians. Christian persecu tors ! What an anomaly ! The per secutors who professed to follow a Sa- vim*wlio had said, “Love you enemies” a Savior whose whole life was a lesson of love, pity, compassion ! No matter how noble a people may be—continued persecution nm3t lend to develop that in them which is evil at the expense of that which is. good. Evil begets evil.

Still, it you think that its publication will be of any aid to the cause which the Hollywood Memorial Association lias so kindly undertaken, L cannot refuse the slight I assistance within my power,” We are informed by the President of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg— David Willis, E q.—that the charter incorporating the association in charge of that national cemetery provides only for the “interment of the remains of those who fell in defence of tbe Union. It is estimated that 7,000 Confederate dead were bastil interred at Gi ttys- burg, GOO alone having llieir graves marked. Tbe marks on these GOO oiaves, Mr. Willis informs us, are last i becoming obliterated- I be remains of the 7,000 of our kindred who there offered so willingly their lives for us and ours, are constantly, we are told, being thrown <>ut from their shallow sepulchres ‘as the farmers cultivate their fields.” An appeal has been already made to the Southern people by the Holy- wood Association to aid in the removal of what we once esteemed “our belov ed and honored dead” from Geltsburg, a work which General Lee terms “a pious work,” and of which he, in the letter above copied, says : “I feel as sured that it will receive the grateful thanks of the humane and benevolent.” q’his appeal went forth more than one year ago. and about $1,000 haw been received by the Association from the following sources : From Norfolk, 4 a , about From Richmond, Va., about From Gen. Lee and family From a lady in Louisiana From the Stale of Alabama From the State of Georgia These figures require little comment- ■a ry. We would simply ask, Are they a true indication of our estimate of what we fought, bled and died for, durin" those mem«rahle years between Apriif lSGl, »»d April, 1S65? Is life so cheap in this our land of chivalry, or is a name and a nation but an empty sound ? The Legislature of Louisiana has recently—nobly, we would say— authorized five thousand dollars to be paid from her public treusury for the It this had been told in their lives to the seven thousand men whose bones now lie on the field ot Gettysburg—the “seven t housand who have not bowed the knee to Baal” —do you think they would have so willingly offered up their lives for us and ours, to make us a nation, to give us liberty, if they had been told that we would let their bones be thus thrown out of their graves “as the farmers cul tivate their fields ?” In ihe name of our country, in the name of our coun try, in the name of our kindred, in the name of honor, in the name of bare humanity, we ask the Southern Stales and Southern people, one and all, to come forward and rescue our name and the cause for which so many died born this infamous reproach, that, unless immediately removed, will be a lasting reproach lo the latest day to us and our children forever, individually and na tionally. dolph, Richmond, Va. Southern papers are respectfully re quested to copy this appeal at once, and bring it lo the notice of the South eru [>eople. A Neiv Itemedtj for Small-Pox—Gaso line.—That gasoline is a great refrige rant and disinfectant is well known. When sponged carefully upon the whole body of a small-pox patient it reduces the tumidity and heat, neutra lizes the nasty specific odor which ex hales from the bodyand produces njmost delightful aud comfortable sensation. Bv its rapid evaporation it abstracts tbe heat from the inflamed surface, checks the ulcerative process of the true skin and thereby prevent pitting. It also prevents other persons from ta king the disease in the apartments of the patients, by disinfecting tbe room. It has a very cooling effect, and does not smart. There is no danger of tak ing cold from its use, since it does not wet the body. To argue the probable mode in which this simple remedy acts in modifying the loathsome dis ease, l have not time. As an evidence of its value, I would instance the im provement ol all my own cases. Ev ery intelligent physician will readily see why it ought lo do good, theoreti cally, and I am sure there will be no disappointment in practice. Gasoline, 1 pint. Gum camphor £ ounce. Pulverized shulphitc ot soda, 1 drachm. Pure carbolic acid, 5 drops. Shake well, and the articles will dissolve in few minutes. Sponge the body with tbe mixture every two or three hours, until all signs of inflammation have ceased. Give live or ten drops in a little sweet ened water every three hours. Caution.—Do not have a light near the patient while the mixture is being applied. THOS. NICHOLSON, M. D. O O. Times. $400.00 294.00 125.00 25.0 0 50.00 4G.00 Paper Handkerchiefs.
