THE MORNING NEWS, JT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE OF QUITE A large volume to contain the good things that are said about the Morning News by its contem poraries of the Southern press. It iS almost daily referred £o as “The best paper in the South,” “the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener ally conceded to be in all respects a modern Southern newspaper. This is the fame that the Morning News covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it still worthier of the confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia snd Florida. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the paper in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the and ay, and its staff of special corres pondents has been reorganized with a view to meeting every possible contingency that may arise. Although the Morning News has little or no competition within the field of its circulation, nevertheless no effort will be considered too ex pensive that give the earliest and freshest infor mation to its readers. In this respect there will be no relaxation of tho endeavor to keep it far ahr-ad of its contemporaries. Tho features that have rendered the paper so popular will he maintained. Tho editorial de partment will be conducted with the same digni fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earn est devotion to principal that liavo characterized it.

The Morning News is the only Savannah paper that publishes the Associated Press dispatches and the Telegraphic Market Reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau of New York City.

A sweet child sang me, once, a song I had not heard for years; And, ever since, the whole day long, i_ 'Tis ringing in my ears, j When morning comes, from every bush Tho birds sing to the sun, But, when tho robin sings or thrush, Their song to me is one. At dusk, soon as the sun is hid, — And sometimes just before, The cricket and tho katydid Will hum it o'er and o’er. When all things else are still at night. The old clock on the shelf Keeps ticking on, with ail itsSmight, The same thing to itself. And, even in dreams, that sweeTchild-face Looks up in mine as then; And, night by night, with winsome grace, She sings her song again. So, when awake and when asleep,— At midnight and at noon,— Within—around mo—all tilings keep Singing the same old tune. Cambridge. “Oil! Please Don’t Drink Any More!”—A Woman’s Appeal. Yon will bring ruin on yourself and innocent children. Your poor heart-broken wife pleads with you to “drink no more.'’ Your bright and beautiful little pratlers know not the evil in store for them if you con tinue to indulge your thirst for drink. They follow you to the door as you part with them in tlio morn ing, and, in guileless confidence, watch your departing footsteps. They hasten to meet you on your return in the evening, to welcome you back. YvTien sober and cheer ful, you fill their little hearts with joy. When drinking and morose, their hearts are made sad; whilst sorrow for their pa takes the place of gladness. The mother pressing closely the half-abandoned children to her breast is unable to suppress her grief. Her husband, no longer worthy the name, lias been spend ing the money which is needed to supply their wants; whilst his stag gering about on the streets and sidewalks hastens the loss of public confidence and takes from him the means of making a support. “O, please don’t drink any more.” Let your wife know; let your friends know, and let the world know that you will drink no more. Be at your counting-house, or place of business betimes, and let no temptation to evil lure you oil’ from tho faithful performance of your duty. Take warning from your grief-stricken wife, and heed her appeal to “drink no more.” Pay heed to your sor rowing friends and acquaintances, who see in your intemperate habits the blight and ruin it will bring upon your now innocents and helpless offspring. Look at the wife of your bosom —tlie palid cheek; the wasted form, and sunken eye, and hear in her plaintive wailings the appeals of a despairing and break ing heart. Look that you may see the blight that your drunkenness is bringing upon her, and hear, that you may have the courage to drink no more. * Venders of drink —traffickers in liquors, read the above picture, and at once and forever sell no more Take a dagger and stab to death tho wife of the drunkard; place speedily in untimely graves her in nocent and helpless offspring rather than, by degrees, through selling drink to the father, commit murder as certain and sure. O close up your haunts of. dissi pation ; cast from you tlie murder ous temptations and tempt men no more. JGKST The following story is good but rather apocryphal: A young man out west was courting a pretry girl, but her mother would not pet mit him to stay after ten o’clock, greatly to his and her daughters disgust.- Last New Year’s day that young man presented the old lady with a patent clock of great beauty and ingenuity. The prospective mother-in-law was greatly pleased, aud gave her old ticker to a poor woman who lived in the neighbor hood. Now that young couple are happy, for that new clock is so con structed that it will lose three hours between eight and ten in the eve ning, and make it up all right by morning. The old lady watches the clock carefully and cries “amen” when it gets to ten. And yet she says she can’t understand why she gets so sleepy before ten at night, and hates to get up so bad next morning. HSf" The first ounce of blood in jected into Gen. Frank Blair caused effects upon the General similar to intoxication. Upon investigation, the physians discovered that *the subject who had furnished the blood had been on a bit ot a spree the day before, and with the blood had been transferred some alcohol. It was a clear case of being drunk by proxy. $2.50 A YEAE. The Printer’s Devil. The printing-office “devil,” twen ty years ago—wliat ha3 become of him ? Everybody knew him as the sooty-faced, dirty-handed, little imp who swept out, built the fires, black ed the boss’ boots, and with them every accessible patch of his owit uncovered hide; who to get rid of nursing baby, made a most fiendish use of pins; who, for divers reasons (and turpentine), could never be guile the house-dog beyond the door-yard; who outraged the confi dence of his few playmates by sel ling them roller-composition for ju jubepaste—who, with a gracious show of liberality, would give the “country boy” all the red ink ho could carry in the pocket of his new pantaloons, and who could, with more certainty than any other ani mal living, dodge a boot-jack—this “devil” is, alas! a thing of the past. Ink-besmeared, rollicking, exasper ating, gluttonous, one-suspendered, no-shoe-string little w'retch, he was, with all his faults, patient under the stress of cuffed ears and cold vituals, and, by almost every print ing office of the land, believed to be an absolute necessity. But alas, with the march of events, he has been swmpt away —with the sickle, the flail and the sliovel-plow he is only of the past, and like them is a thing only of memory. The editor of the Gazette knew him, has seen him emerge from his estate of dirt and cussedness to the excellency of honored manhood, or to sink to the still lower plane of vice and de bauchery. We knew the moral and physical little wriggler, and reach out now over an intervening chasm of twenty years or more to fold the dirty little “devil.” to our mental bo .som, and to bless him for the char acteristics through which he won aud delightedly maintained his ap propriate appellation. A Few Words on Squeezing. While w r e are growing very sen sible indeed, in the matter of dress,' in the way of boots, balmoral skirts, warm stockings and high necks we are degenerating inTsome other mat ter quite as important. The corset' is not a necessary part of woman’s wardrobe; and alas! when a wo man does begin to wear them too small and will tug at the laces until her breath becomes short and she feels it necessary to abstain from anything like a comfortable meal. We say nothing against a well shaped corset worn loosely, but there lies the difficulty. A loose corset injures the appear ance instead of improving it,- people wear corsets that they may have small waists. All we can say is don’t squeeze, whatever yon <&?.• You may have a small waist but you are exposing yourself to a doz en misfortunes which are as bad as ; large waists. First dispepsia, and grow yellow', cross and unhappy f secondly, your hands will grow red; thirdly your nose; fourth you •will be unable to walk a mile at once; fifthly, dinner will be a misery' sixthly, your slioulders-blades wilJ increase in size and altitude; sev enthly your eyes grow weak; eight ly, you will break down at thirty or thereabout, and boa sickly old wo man from that time fourth. If these truths do not frighten women from tight corset 0 , perhaps the informa tion that gentleman generally don’t admire what dress makers call a “pretty figure,” so much as a natur al one, may have some influence. fiQrTt seems that the patient si lence of the imperturbable angler has been just so much stillness wasted. The old notion that you! can’t catch a fish unless yoft keep quiet must now go down to oblivi on along with that other time-worn delusion, the belief that spitting on the bait makes fish bite better. Setb Green, who knows a great deal about fishes, and has spent much time in studying their habits, thinks they can not hear. He once asked a band of music to range themselves around a tank of fish, and at a giv en signal to blow their loudest blast. This they did, but not a fish stirred. They are, however, very sensitive to jars, and a slight tap on the bot tom of on of the tanks made every fish dart oft' like a flash. £-5“ Thomson is not going to ask any more conumdrums. He recent ly asked his wife what is the differ ence between his head and a hog’s head, and she said there was none. He says that is not the right an swer. “Can animals suffer pain is the latest question. Stick a pii> in a mules hind leg and see.
