VOL. XIV. 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 to receive the stripes.

Around the humble, but comfortable* norne are to be seen horses and cows and and goats. Their gaiden is well supplied with all the vegeta bles grown in that sunny clime I and within, kept by Aunt Jennie’s i neat hand, all is clear and cheery as if white folks lived there. Age has crept upon this couple, and infirmities have lingered, but thej’ go about their daily task with I hearts in which the light of life has been softened and mellowed by their advancing years. Honor ed and respected by all the neigh bors, both white and black; wel come visitors to the old family < whom they served from the heart for so many years, this couple i “along the cool sequestered vale of 1 life keen thn - U 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. u To-uwrro\v is Vucic Ben mrd Aunt Jennie’s Golden Wedding,” said the gray-haired matron, “and we must celebrate it propel ly. 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 : done by that old couple ernne stealing back over the heart, like sO me strain of sweetest music that, at twilight, steals over the waters of a sleeping lake. j The blameless life they had ever led, their fidelity to each other and 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 rhe deep fountain of their hearts, emotions of gratitude and joy brought tears to every eye. “The little boy” was reminded for the tenthon?an<lth time of the scene when Uncle Ben drew off ■ I his coat and said : "Master whip CARROLLTON, GEORGIA.

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.

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.

Anybody can ex change idle gossip. Anybody can recapitulate the troubles of the kitchen, the cost of the last new dress, and the probable doings of the neighbors. But to talk wisely, instructively, freshly and delight tully is an immense accomplish ment.
