THE BABY’S SHIRT.
P.Y MRS. JONES.
‘We \Verc all preparing,* said Mrs. Jones,
’to go to the wedding.’ I was goin’, father
Has going, the gals was going, and we was
going to take the baby. Hut, come to dress
the baby, couldn't find the baby's shirt! I’d
laid a clean one out of the drawers a pur
pose. I Unow'd just where I'd put it; but
come to look for it 'twas gone.
‘ For mercy’s sake!’ says I, ‘gals' says I,
‘has any one of yc seen that baby’s shirt?'
Of course none of them had seen it, and I
looked, and looked, and looked again, but
t*wasn’t nowhere to be found. • It’s the
strangest thing in all nature !’ says I—‘here
I had the shirt in my hand not more’n ten
minutes ago, and now it is gone, nobody can
tell wher3! I never see the beat! Gals,’
says I, ‘do look around, can't ye !’ But fret
ting would not find it; so I giv up, and went
to the bcauro and fished up another shirt,
and put it onto our baby ; and at last we
was ready for a start.
Father’d harnessed up the double team —
we drove the old white mare then—and gals
and all were having a good time, going to see
Mary Ann married, but somehow I couldn't
get over that shirt. ’Twasn't the shirt so
much, but to have anything spirited away
right from under my face and eyes so, ’twas
provoking.
‘What ye thinking about, mother?’ says
Sorphron\', ‘what makes ye so sober?’ says
she.
I’m pestered to death thinking about that
ere shirt,’ says I. ‘One of you must atook
it.’
‘Now, nm,’ says Sorphrony, says she, ‘you
needn’t say that,’ says she. and as I*d laid
into her a good many times, she was begin
ning to get vexed ; and so we had it back
and forth all about that baby’s shirt, until
we arrived at the wedding.
Seeing company kinder put it out of my
mind, and I was gitting good matur'd again,
though I couldn’t help saying to myself every
few minutes, ‘what could have become of
that shirt?’ till at last they stood up to be
married, and I forgot all about it. Mary
Ann was a real modest creature, and was
more'n frightened to death when she came
into the room with Stephen, and the minister
told them to jine hands. She fust giv
her left hand to Stephen. ‘ Your other hand,’
says lie, and poor Steve he was so bashful
too, lie didn’t know what lie was about—he
thought it was his mistake, and that the min
ister meant him, so lie gave Mary Ann his
left hand. That wouldn't do any way, a
left-handed marriage all around, but b}' this
time they didn't know what they was about,
and Mary Ann joined her right hand with
liis left, and the left with his right, then both
their left hands again, till I was all of a fidg
et. and thought they never would get fixed.
Mar}’ Ann looked as red as a turkey and to
make matters worse she began to cough, to
turn otf I suppose, and called for a glass of
water. The minister had been drinking, and
the tumbler stood right there, and I was so
nervous and in such a hurry to see it all over
with, I ketched up the tumbler and run with
it to her, for I thought to goodness she was
going to faint. She undertook to drink—l
don't know how it happened, but the tumbler
slipped and gracious me! if between us both
we didn't spill the tumbler of water all over
her collar and sleeve.
I was dreadfully flustered, for it looked as
though it was my fault, and the first thing I
♦lid was to out with my handkerchief and
give it to Mary Ann, it was nicely done up,
she took it and shook it out, the folks had
held up putty well to that time, but then
such a giggle and laugh as there was. I
didn't know what had given 'em such a start;
till I looked and see I'd give Mary Avm that
baby’s shirt.
Here Mrs. Jones, who is a very fleshy wo
man, undulated and shook like a mighty jell}’,
with her mirth, and it was some time before
she could proceed with her narrative.
‘Why.’ said she. with tears of laughter
running down her checks, ‘l'd tucked it into
my dress pocket for a handkerchief. That
came of being absent minded and in a fidget-.’
‘And Mary Ann and Stephen—were they
married after all ?’
‘Dear me, yes!’ said Mrs. Jones, ‘and it
turned out to be the gayest wedding I ever
’tended.’
‘And what about the baby’s shirt, Mrs.
Jones ?’
4 La me!’ said Mrs. Jones, ‘how voung
folks do ax questions. Everybody agreed l
ought to make Mary Ann a present on’t.’
‘Well, Mrs. Jones?’
‘Well,’ said Mrs. Jones, ‘t’wasn't long
’fore she found a use for’t. And that's the
end of the story.’
The Country Editor.
This is a pen picture of the country editor
from one of our Georgia exchanges by one
who knows how it is himself. We think the
Franklin Register is responsible for the graph
ic delineation : “ The average country editor
has a hard time in this life, particularly if
there be nine in the family and the house
cat dependent on him. Besides using a pint
of flour a week for paste, and writing up a
quire of paper, he has to appear in public
every day and buttonhole the people to make
them take his paper in order to live without
stealing, at least long enough to get out
another issue. An editor in a neighboring
village the other day had three old farmers
backed up in the corner of a warehouse, and
as 4 refreshments’ passed between them, he
converted two and 4 put them down’ for twelve
months. The third man was doubtful, lie
lived on the same lot with one of the others
and always read the paper anyhow, but the
editor made an elastic spring and tapping
the old man’s shoulder he made his point,
lie quoted with telling etFect that a newspa
per was like a man’s wife—every man should
have one of his own—and the old man looked
assent with the ball of his ejes as he was
just raising the tickler and had his head
thrown back, but as soon as lie swallowed,
he said, ‘put me down for six months,’ and
the editor fled home with three rag dollars in
his pocket.”
This is a good year for the human race, so
far as population is concerned. A dispatch
from Maroa, 111., announces that, within a
week, Mrs. Remra, living about fifteen miles
east of tkjit town, has given birth to four boys ;
Mrs.. Guthrie, residing near Mrs. Bemm. to
three girls, and Mrs. lvressler, living only a
fcw miles from the latter, to two girls and a
boy. The three mothers and ten babies are
all doing well. The unfortunate fathers have
not been heard from.
44 Pray, Mr. Professor, what is a periphra
sis?” “Madam, it is simply, a circumlocu
tory cycle of oratorical sooorosity, circum
scribing an atom of ideality, lost in verbal
profundity.” “Thank you, sir.”
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Colic in Horses.
The most common kind of colic in horses
is known as wind colic. This arises from
fermentation of food in the stomach, instead
of its healthy digestion. If a horse is brought
in tired and is fed immediately, and fills his
stomach, there may not be sufficient gastric
juice to perform its office. The food will
then ferment. Soon the horse will bloat;
the breathing becomes hard, with frothing at
the mouth. This may not be confounded
with the hard breathing in lung fever, since,
in the latter, there is no bloating. The pas
sage of the stomach and bowels become clog
ged with the masses of undigested food, the
gas arising from the fermentation cannot
pass out of the stomach, which becomes dis
tended, and presses the diaphragm forward
so that the lungs cannot expand, the breath
becomes short and the rapid breathing will
shortly induce frothing. If the trouble reach
es this stage, the horse will rarely live more
than an hour. In this disease, time is of the
greatest value. As soon as you see your
horse is bloating, give something to stop the
fermentation. For this, a heaping table
spoonful of salcratus is the best thing. Spir
its of hartshorn in a dose of half an ounce,
very much diluted, is also good. If now you
have checked the fermentation for fire min
utes, the next thing is to make the gas pass
off. To do this, give warm water injections
frecl}’, injecting all the animal will hold, if it
is a pailful. Turn the horse’s head down
hill, and use a small force pump, if you have
one, or if not, use a piece of rubber tube
which should be inserted as far as it will go
with ease, and the end of the tube may then
be turned up and a funnel put in, into which
turn warm water. After you have put in all
the horse will hold, turn him about and let
it pass away, and repeat the operation till
the bowels become free, and the gas passes
off. Meantime, another hand should be pre
paring a dose of physic, which should be
from one-half to three-fourths of an ounce of
aloes. This, if put into water by itself, will
not dissolve, but, if put in a pint of warm
water in which a heaping tablespoonful of
salcratus has been dissolved, the aloes will
dissolve, and the salcratus will he useful as
an anti-septic to stop the fermentation : to
this can he added some molasses to make it
more palatable.
Should the animal seem in much pain, give
two ounces of laudanum or an ounce of ether,
or half an ounce of chloroform. Should the
physic not operate in an hour, or half an hour,
if it is a veiy severe case, repeat the dose
keeping up the injections during the time.
If there is stricture from kinking of the
bowels, there will be no help. The lecturer
had known a horse to die in thirty minutes,
in spite o( all efforts. Aconite is sometimes
given to cure colic, hut it was of no value;
nor is salt or vinegar, or both, of use. Chalk
and vinegar, which arc sometimes given, the
chalk first and then the vinegar, will alone
produce colic, and should never he given, as
the effervescence may give pressure sufficient
to burst the bowels. In no event take out
the animal and run or trot him about, nor
rub his belly' with a chestnut rail. —Professor
Cressy.
Drenching Horns for Cattle.
\ cry frequently, a grave disorder among
domestic animals, may he averted by the
timely administration of a simple medicine.
Cows, especially, are subject to many serious
diseases, which, though very troublesome
when fully developed, are easily prevented,
or cured, by instant attention on the appear
ance of the first symptoms. Diseases of the
digestive organs, if neglected at first, rapidly
develop into affections of the blood, which,
becoming poisoned or disorganized, interrupts
the vital functions, and the animal often dies
before its real condition is suspected. A
brisk aperient, consisting of Epsom or Glau
ber salts, given at the first appearance of
almost any disorder, will nearly always re
lieve the animal and prevent further mischief.
Hence no farmer should he without a supply
of one or the other of these useful medicines,
and the means of administering a dose dis
solved in water.
The ordinary vehicle for giving an animal
a dose of physic, the long-necked wine-bottle,
is a very dangerous one, and should never
be used. There is a strong probability,
whenever this is used, that the neck may be
broken off by the struggles of the animal,
and swallowed, or fragments of glass mav
pass into the throat or wind pipe, causing
fatal lacerations or instant suffocation. A
very good and cheap drenching horn is made
of a large common horn, the small end of
which is sawn off at the proper place, and, if
found necessary, is bored to make the aper
ture large enough. The large end of the horn
is close l with a piece of wood, neatly fitted
and secured by a few small screws; or it
may be covered with a piece of sheet copper,
the edges of which are turned up around the
horn and secured by screws. For cement,
a little bath-brick dust, mixed with melted
rosin, and a few drops of linseed oil, may be
used hot. A hole should be bored in the
bottom, to be closed with a plug when the
horn is filled, and removed when it has been
properly placed in the animal’s mouth, if
found necessary to allow the liquid to flow
more freely.— Amer. Agriculturist.
Founder. —We find the following reme
dies for founder in the Southern. Cultivator:
Clean out the affected foot or feet, fill full of
spirits turpentine, touch fire and burn them
out. The horse will be well in a few mo
ments.
Another. —l send you a receipt for founder,
which, having used for five years, I know to
be too valuable to keep from the public:
One tablespoonful of alum, finely pulverized,
thrown well back into the horse’s mouth, as
soon as you find out he is foundered. Keep
from water during the day. In every case
that I tried it. it proved a sure cure.
RELIGIOUS.
The Righteous Man.
In a sermon preached yesterday morning
in the Baptist Church by the Rev. Timothy
Harley, the following picture was given of a
righteous man. Would that every man an
swered to this description.
“Let me roughly draw the outline of an
ideal righteous man. The sketch may en
courage those who resemble it and can be a
terror to none but evil doers. The righteous
man is just in all his ways, and whatever his
business or occupation, he does everything on
equal and right principles. Asa minister of
religion he always speaks what lie believes to
be true, and not what he thinks would betak
ing. He is more ambitious of the approval
of God than of the applause of men. He
cares nothing for usage or tradition, or creed,
he cares only for eternal verit}'. Asa jurist,
he regards lawyer and liar as by no means
convertible terms. He detests duplicity and
the double tongue, and labors to harmonize
the jurisprudence of earthly courts with the
justice of the Judge of all. Asa physician*
in feeling the pulse, he never thinks of the
purse, for he is more concerned for the public
health than for his own private wealth and he
never kills a patient for the benefit of expe
rience. Asa merchant he measures out thirty
six inches to the yard, and gives sixteen
ounces to the pound. If he be a grocer he
does not adulterate. If a cotton factor his
bales are of equal quality with his samples.—
His prices cause no complaint, for he seeks
but moderate profits, and never adds anything
that he may afterwards take it off. 11 is credi
tor receives one hundred cents to the dollar,
even tho’ it should cost him the loss of all
things. lie is considerate to those who are
associated with him, doing to his inferiors as
lie would that his superiors should do unto
him. He abhors trickery and puffery, sham
ming and shuffling, and whatsoever worketb
abomination, or maketh a lie. In social and
domestic life he is the same immutable man
of right. Asa good husband he neither covets
his neighbor’s wife nor craves the embraces
of a strange woman. Asa parent, he is
neither weak in idulgenre nor fearful in se
verity. Asa worthy friend, lie will have no
friend save among the worthy. His personal
habits are irreproachable, he being neither a
dandy nor a sloven, an epicure nor an ascetic.
In all things he is evenly balanced—a man
of moderation, strictly and steadily maintain
ing an equipoise of right. In his piety, he
does not use his religion as a cloak of secret
indulgence. He is a Christian not because
it is proper or polite, hut because it is right.
Nor does he attend the church that offers the
best, society, that is most wealthy or fashiona
ble, for that would be a confession that he
stood in need of borrowc 1 excellence; he
rather goes where truth and righteousness
are taught, and creates his own society. In
all things he is a downright upright man.”—
Savannah Neirs.
Getting Religion Cheap.
'“Can I not be as good a Christian as there
is any need for, and yet stay in the house
and keep my religion to myself?”
“Now I sec what you are after. You are
trying to get religion as cheap as possible.
Your question shows at once that you don’t
know anything of what it is to be a ‘good
soldier of .Jesus Christ.’ Just think for a
moment of the ridiculous position you put
yourself in. Fancy a man saying, ‘Can I
not boa good enough soldier, and yet sit all
the while at the fireside ? Can’t Ibe a good
enough soldier without putting on that red
coat, which everybody looks at; and shoul
dering that rifle, and going to the front, and
fighting, and perhaps getting a knock on the
head ? I can be a first-rate soldier without
any of that trouble and danger.’ Now what
would you think of that man as a soldier?
Wouldn’t you tell him he was no soldier at
all, but an even-down coward, and that his
profession was a farce ? Of course you
would. And what am I to think of that
question you have asked ? Doesn’t Jesus
toll you to take up the cross and follow Ilim ?
No cross, no crown, you know. Trying to
get to heaven as easy and comfortable as
possible, means, if I read ray Bible aright,
that you have never started yet.”
conference committee once had be
fore them a backwood’s preacher, who knew
little of books or theology, but had a practi
cal knowledge of Christ's salvation. “Broth
er,” began one of the wise examiners, “will
you please name some of the evidences of
the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ ?” The
brother's face wore an expression of puzzled
bewilderment, and he was silent. The exam
iner repeated his question:—“What makes
yon think Christ is divine?” Now there
was a response from the whole man. With
his eves full of tears, he started to his feet
and stretching out his arms and hands, ex
claimed, “ llow do I know lie's divine ? Why,
bless 3 T ou, “He’s saved my soul!” Thus
started, that examination may be safely as
sumed to have ended satisfactorily.
The Religious Press.
Looking upon religious “Centralism” in
the same light as we do political centralism
and monopoly, it is with gratification we note
the establishment of two religious papers in
the State within the past few months, while
there is still another on the “tapis” at Cave
Spring. Whether these will be paying insti
tutions or not, remains to be seen ; but there
are too few religious papers compared to the
professed religious readers, and if they do not
pay, we shall always think they ought to.

Temperance Speech,
DELIVERED BEFORE STONEWALL LODGE, 214,
JEFFERSON, GA.
Worthy Chief, Brothers and Sisters : —I regret
that it has been so 1 could not speak until to
night. But before 1 enter into the merits of my
theory, l wish to apprise you of the fact, that I
do not present my themes with an eloquence that
charms —with that critical acumen that fascinates.
This 1 regret, as there is no power like that of or
atory. Caesar controlled men by exciting their
fears ; Cicero by captivating their affections and
swaying their passions. The influence of one per
ished with its author, the other remains to this
day, and will be handed down to public speakers
through all ages.
As 1 promised to try to interest you a while, I
feel that 1 am under an obligation to do the best
1 can to make good my word. The theory under
consideration is:—“'That vicious habits took on
in the bloom of youth work out. almost without an
alternative, the soul's utter ruin.” Universal ob
servation establishes the sad fact that man is depra
ved from the first and that this depravity augments
just in proportion as evil habits arc took on and
nerpetuat-d. Experience also, as well as the Bi
ble, teaches the plain fact “ that men go astray as
soon as they are born.” Man. pool fallen crea
ture is. in truth, a bundle of habits.” Every vir
tue and every vice, every modification of word,
thought and deed, can and does become a habit:
and of all habits drunkenness is one of the most
insidious in its progress, and becomes most pow
erful by indulgence; it requires less prudence to
resist it at the first than it does firmness to over
come it at the last. The victory may neverthe
less be gained by resolute efforts. But alas ! too
often, when this iron-bound habit seizes the youth,
he seldom ever thinks of his coming dest : ny, which
is being brought on by gratifying the desire of this
carnal appetite. Thus, youth is spent, and life is
brought down to a late hour in the evening, at
which stage it almost requires a miracle to break
off the old habit and change his disposition.
It is a common proof, that intemperance is am
bition's ladder—leading downward where the
climber too often turns his face; but when he once
reaches the downmost round, he then turns his
back to the ladder, and seldom looks backward
into the darkness and gloom left behind him. —
This depraved spirit of his, going out after its ap
petite and not after its duties, has thus the full
natural competency to originate in itself an act of
renunciation of the carnal end, and an act of ad
hesion to the end of its own worthiness, and may
justly be required to ” put off the old man and
to put on the new one,” for this alteration is so
open to it; but still all the attachment to the
wrong, and all the repugnance to the right, is
there in the carnal disposition; and what hope of
it's originating the great change from spiritual
death to spiritual life? The man may, yea he
must say, I ought to change my habit; I am un
der the strongest obligation to my own spirit that
I debase and degrade it no more; and thus that I
can renew my disposition and reform my life.—
But he can and must also say, in another sense, f
love and choose my carnal gratification; I hate
all the claims of the spirit that restrains me; I can
not renounce the happiness 1 love and choose the
restraints I hate. This appetite has so come to
love its bondage and to hate its duty, that he can
only adcquatly express his sense of helplessnes by
emphatically saying, ” I cannot change; I find my
self utterl} r helpless; I am sold under sin; some
one else must help me, for 1 cannot help myself.”
Thus, the habituated drunkard reflects upon
his condition almost without effect, and beholds
the terrible destiny towards which he is fast ten
ding. You may as soon expect to see the Chatta
hoochee run upwards on its course, or the sun to
roll back in his career, as that the habituated
dsuhkard would throw off the old habit and re
trace his life. “Can the Etheopian change his
skin or the leopard his spots, then may ye also
who arc accustomed to do evil learn to do well.”
On the other hand, we may say of those who arc
accustomed to form virtuous habits in youth, as
Washington, “ that the sun may as well turn in
his course'’ as for him to change. Then, it is a
true saying, that “custom or habit is man's second
nature.” Look for a moment, at the dreadful ef
fects of an evil habit formed in youth. It is. my
brothers and sisters, in the degredation of the hus
band by intemperance, above all, that she who
has ventured everything, feels that everything is
lost. Woman, silent, suffering, devoted woman,
here bends to her direst affliction. Thß measure
of her woe is. in truth full, whose husband is a
drunkard. Who shall protect her when he is her
insulter, her oppressor? What shall delight her
when she shrinks from the sight of his face, and
trembles at the sound of his voice? The hearth
is indeed dark that he has made desolate. There,
through the dull midnight hour, her griefs arc
whispered to herself, her bruised heart bleeds in
secret. There, while the cruel author of her dis
tress is drowned in distant revelry, she holds her
solitary vigil, waiting, yet dreading, his return—
that will only wring from her, bv his unkindness,
tears even more scalding than those she sheds
over her transgressions. To throw a deeper gloom
across the present, memory turns back and broods
upon the past. Like the recollection of the sun
stricken pilgrim, of the cool spring that he drank
at in the morning, the joys of other days, come
over her. as if only to mock her weary spirit.—
She recalls the ardent lover whose grace won her
from the home of her infancy. Can we wonder
that amid all these agonizing moments of the wife,
that the violated cord of affection which binds
hnsband and wife together should snap asunder?
that the scorned and deserted wife should confess
that there is no killing like that which kills the
heart? Poor woman who suffers such a fate as
this! I would appeal, as an echo from such a
condition, to the cars of the young ladies, to dis
countenance all who form such habits in youth,
“ for you know not but what under that tine ex
terior there may be hatching the destruction of
all your future joy and comfort.” But ah! too
many have excused themselves by saying “that
Johnnie or Thomas, as the case may be, is too
manly to be overcome bv such habits, and that if
he has contracted such a habit, he will quit it af
ter we m ,if I ask him.” You may
think that the future looks too bright for him to
be brought to such a wretched state; but let me
remind you. “ that it is the bright day that brings
forth the adder.” Then, it behooves you. to dis
countenance those who deal with King Alcohol to
excess, and thus you will be instrumental in ban
ishing intemperance from the land.

self. POSITI VKLY demonstrates their purity and
superiority.
The various compounds known in the market
as Chemical Paints, contain only about 50 per
cent, of Paint; the balance is water, introduced
into the same b)’ the use of an alkali, to combine
it. The last mentioned Paints, so-called, only
weigh from 9 to 10 lbs. pergallon. which we think
clearly proves their lack of opacity or body.—
When water is mixed with Paint, it not only de
stroys its body, but, to a very great extent, its
adhesiveness, which all practical men know is oi
the highest importance to preserve, in order to
make a durable Paint.
We think, from the .statement we have made,
that buyers cannot fail to AT ONUE perceive that
their interest will he best promoted by buying our
Liquid Paints (i. e. Pure Paints), in preference to
the so-called Paints referred to.
