I’ICLE BEA’S GOLDEN WEDDING.
“Master, you a’n’tgwineto whip
dat little boy and his ma gone
away to Selma, is you?”
It was long years before the war,
in the slavery times, when Uncle
Ben asked this question. “The
little boy" was the son of one of
Alabama’s largest and most noted
planters, and Uncle Ben was the*
head man of his large force, “the
driver,” as such a man was al
ways called. His wife, Aunt Jen>
nie, was the head servant of her
mistress’ household, and all the I
children of the planter, called her
“mammy.” On the day before
Uncle Ben asked the question with
which we begin the “little boy”
had been carelessly playing amona 1
the haystacks with friction match
es, exhibiting to an astonished
crowd of little darkies how, with
the keen edge of his new knife, he
could kindle them into a flame.
'I browing the ignited wood
thoughtlessly to one side that he
might strike another the hay was
fired. In a moment the fiercely in
creasing flame shot to the top of
the huge pyramid,.and before that
infantile crowd had time to think
the flames were leaping from stack
to stack until seventeen were
wrapped in their winding sheet of
fire. The high fence which had
been built around them for their |
protection was, for one brief mo- I
merit, black with the panic stricken
darkies, and the next showed aline
of black passing with the velocity
of the wind across the level sward.
Ihe little boy gazed for a moment
in blank amazement upon the rod
i Uiii his carelessness had wrought
and then, gathering his energies,
began to exert himself to save the I
fence which encircled the flaming I
forage. A few rails only were
transported to a safe distance when
the tiro leaped madly over the
whole environment and drove him
away. No words can describe the
awe he felt as he comteinplated the
burning mass rolling heavenward
its clouds of intermingled black
and crimson, or the terror that fill
ed his heart as he thought of what
his father would say and do. In a
short time the whole plantation
was gathered about, the place, and
thn. ftnhdnnd vnin™ zaU ..
uarkies mingled with the hisb and
crackle of the devouring flames.
Among them was Uncle Ben, who
soou learned that his little favorite
was the author of the terrible dis
aster. Taking him by the hand
be led him back to the house, and
with aching heart waited the re
turn of the planter who, with the
older members of the family, had
gone to preaching a few miles
away. In due time they all return
ed, and Uncle Ben made faithful
report to Lis master of the loss he
had sustained. The little culprit
was ordered into his mofher’s room
and seated in his low arm chair,
was commanded to take the Bible
and spend the remainder of the
day in reading that instructive vol
ume. How much benefit he re
ceived from that afternoon's peru
sal of those sacred pages history
does not record, but the evidences
are that it must have been great,
as those who now linn best say
that he has rarely been known to
open it since.
Next morning, when at early
hour Uncle Bin reported at his
master’s door, he received in addi
tion to the usual orders to see that
all the stock was properly attended
to, that he should on his return
bring him a supply of birch for
the benefit of the boy who had so
suddenly deprived the i* an tat ion
of its store of food for the winter.
No wonder Uncle Ben was slow in
the execution of this special order.
For a long time he lingered among
the trees which were to furnish the
instruments of correction, and with
reluctant step returned to his
master’s chamber. All this time
lie had been ransacking his brain
and heart for some plea that would
avail to shield the child from the
impending punishment, and when
he transferred the long and limber
''rods'to his master’s hand he made,
in sad ami pleading tone-, tl e re
mark we have already quoted.
The little boy’s mother had been
absent for some days on a visit to
relatives in a city more than a hun
dred miles away, and Ben knew
how anxiously the planter awaited
his wife’s return. His own affec
tion for Aunt Jennie taught him
that this was the most available
avenue to the heart of the strong
willed man before whom he stoo I.
But when he saw that the min
look did not relax he feared his
plea had been without effect.
•‘Master,’’ said he, in a low, firm
tone that evinced beyond question
that he meant what he said; “if
you must whip som-b'-dy for dat
tire, whip me and let de chile go.
And he bjgan to remove his coat

Christmas days have come, and
with them the annual family reu
nion at Mt. Ida, as the old home
stead is called. The stately old
plantation-home, withits ample di
mensions, is crowded to its utmost
capacity. The sons are there, and
the married daughters bring their
husbands; and merchants, manu
facturers, lawyers, preachers and
State officials —men whose names
are not unknown to fortune and to
fame —are part of the goodly com
pany.
Troops of grandchildren come,
with eager feet from their city
homes to enjoy grandmother’s
royal entertainment dur
ing Christmas holidays. Her lib
eral purse and large Joving heart
has prepared no stinted welcome
for them. The spacious fire-places
are filled with oak and hickory,
’ and the rich pine kindles the ac
’ cumulated mass to its brightest
glow. The lamps shine down up
> on the long, extended table bur
dened with everything luscious
from land and sea. The frozen
North has brought its tribute to
b’Well the feast, and the fruits of
Florida grace it with their golden
hue. By day the guns and horses
are called into requisition, and the
rabbits und partridges and the ant
lered monarchs of the forest become
victims of the deathsdcaling hunts-
man.

said the gray-haired matron, “and

To that household her wish is
always law, and to this proposal
there was an instant and coidial
assent.
To those gifted and honored men,
and to those cultured and queen
ly women Uncle Ben and Aunt
.Fennie had been the kindest of
friends.
They had in their childhood call
ed them “Daddy” and “Mnmmv."
and the memory of the good deeds

to their God, the peace and piety
and love that had reigned through
half a century in their humble
home were known to all that
household, and memory stirred

emotions of gratitude and joy
brought tears to every eye.

The next morning as soon as
breakfast was cleared away, the
ong dining table was covered with
bridal presents for the couple, who
foi fifty years had walked togeth
er the path of life, and in those
presents every member of the
family was represented. That of
the former mistress was the lar
gest of them all.
Every grandchild brought an
offering to them on this joyous oc
casion. ”
It had been arranged the preach
er son-in-law should make an ad
dress to them, and after thev and
their colored friends had filled the
room on one side of the well-laden
table, he tplc| ( tJyTAAili r " rT
Then, after wishing them many
happy days, he said:
“Uncle Ben. you know that on
wedding occasions the preacher al
ways expects a fee.”
Uncle Ben's countenance fell.
He had not expected that such a
demand would be made upon him.
“But,” said the minister, “on
this occasion the custom will be re
versed, and the preacher will pay
the fee.”
Then, di awing lhe shining coins
from his pocket, he placed them
iu the hands of the aged couple.
“Now join hands together in
token of your determination still
to keep your vows of love to each
other ”
It was done.
“Now, salute your bride and
this ceremony will end."
With the great! st gravity and
the dignity of a prince, the kiss was
imprinted upon the lips of the dus
kv bride.
Then followed congratulations,
in which each member of the fam- ,
ily shook hands with the honored t
couple, and stated brief icminiscen- |
ces of their childhood. s
The colored friends too, gave .
them their congratulations with
noisv demonsirations and retired. 1
Uncle Ben spoke a few words —
his emotion would not allow him to
speak many—of grateful acknowl
edgement.
Aunt Jennie, more profuse, talk
ed with streaming eyes of the
kindness she and Ben had receivs
ed, and how until death they
would be faithful in their affection
to those who had shown ouch love
to them, and then left the room.
Uncle Ben lingered behind.
Looking into the face of his former
mistress, he said:
“Dar is one thing 1 always wan
ted.”
“What is it, Ben?” she asked.
Glancing at the portrait that
hung over the mantle, he said in r
voice low and husky, and with
emotion;
“Master's pic'.ur.
“You shall have it, she replied;
and he bowed low and retired.
A sad sequal to this pleasant his
tory is told in an extract made
from a le’ter just received from the
old homestead:
The spring violets will bloom
over Aunt Jennie’s grave. For
many long years loving hands will
lend the spot where she sleeps in
peace until the Lord shall come.
That humble life of hers was rich
in the ripened fruits of faith, and
I love, and to her He will say, “Well

HYDROPHOBIA.
. Its Treatment and Remedy -An
I Interesting Statement by Dr. J.
H. Logan
Editors of Constitution; 1 here
by send you, in view’ ofjthe present
fearful prevalence of hydrophobia
among the worthless dogs of the
country, a plan of treatment for
the bite of rabid animal, which must
commend itself at once, not only
to the intelligent physician, but to
every sensible layman as well.
It was first suggested in the main '
by a physician of Kentucky, in the
Druggist's Circular. Several
methods of treating the bite of a
rabid dog, made 'in the human
nesh, have been from time to time
advocated and practiced, but with
what success it is diftfcnlt to deter'
mine. Among the methods that <
have been practiced may b? men' <
tioned:
I. Excision ot the part.
-• Cauterization.
3. Application of the mad stone,
lhe first is not always practical,
because of the relation of the
wound to important organs, and
the danger of involving large blood
vessels.
The second is of no avail, be
cause the caustic—whether chem
ical or the actual cauteryS-simply
seals the poison within the eapil
lary vessels, where the virus is
placed in a position more favorable
for absorption.
The third is wholly impracticable
as the reputed mad stone is hardly
ejer in reach of the patient. But
as we shall see further along, there
is an efficient mad stone in every
borne.
In the adoption of either of these
plans of treatment, there is such
delay in obtaining the sergeon and
material necessaay to the treat
ment, that sufficient time is given
to insure the absorption of the vi
rus to a depth iu the parts that
places it beyond the reach of hu
man agency.
I he indications to be met in case
of dog bite are of a twfold nature.
1. To lesson the powers of the
part to absorb.
l7c r V<£UZ>V AU2 - 4 -'f
tion of two measures: (a) Bring
the patient rapidly under the in
fluence of opium, (b) Tie a bandage
so tightly around the limb as to stop
all circulation, and let it remain
until the virus is removed from the
vessels.
Second, the removal of the virus
can be readily accomplished by
stretching—-using a knife if neces
sary—the wound wide open and
filling it with table salt—the home
mad stone —well packed in, and
let it remain until partially dissolved
in the fluids. Then let this por
tion be removed and another quan
tity placed in the wound, and so
continue till the appearance of the
parts indicate that the operation
has been continued sufficiently long
to insure perfect • safety to the pa
tient. It may be well to observe
that no water is to be used about
the patient at all, either in dress
ing the wound or in removing the
salt. After this is accomplished
the bandage may be removed and
the wound dressed and treated in
the usual way.
Now what is to be done when a
person is bitten by a dog?
First do not lose time in consid
ering the condition of the dog
hut take it for granted that he is
rabid, and act accordingly.
Second. Let one person super
vise the whole operation. This
person will send an assistant in
haste for the salt, another for a
vial of laudanum, while he himself
will expose the wounded limb and
take one of the patient’s garments
and make a bandage for the limb,
and apply as above di
rected. By this time the two as
sistants have arrived, and with the
salt he proceeds as above. The
other assistant is directed to admin
ister a full dose of laudanum, for
ty drops for an adult, and if this is
not fufficient in due time to con
tract the pupil and to produce
other indications that the patient
's under influence of the opiate,
let the dose be repeated. In the
execution of this there must not be
a moment’s time lost.
To show that this treatment is
perfectly rational and highly judL
cions, it is sufficient to say that
when hams are salted, the salt
draws the water and blood out of
the hams, unites with them and
- forms brine. Every one who has
cured Lis own meat knows that the
brine surrounding the hams
is bloody. By a chemical combina
tion between the salt and the wa
iter of the blood the latter has been
i decomposed and its coloring matter
with other ingredients, driven out.
1 The blood has lost its inherent
power of acting as a recipient ol
any xirus, while the salt, over and
above thia chemical action, is known
to be r powerful antiseptic.
Insert this, Mr. Editor, in the
Constitution, and let it be so wide
ly published that every home in the
land may procure a copy of it.
If this plan of treatment had been
known in time in might have been
the means of saving the lives of
little Henry, of Philadelphia, ths
little boy in Xenia, Ohio, and more
recently of Dr. Dozier, near Cov
ington, Ga.
