HOW’B*YOUR HORSE?
DimripHon of the Uimne—Caiua—
Prevention and Cure—Panic Pre
vailing JJere and Elsewhere !
The common salutation when friends
meet of llow’s your health ? has by
common custom and conseut been
changed to the grief like greeting of—
‘‘How’. your horse ?” And now that it
has fully advonted and appeared, it
bt comes both proper uud prudent for
horse dealers and horse owners to
know just what to call it when they
ask the druggist for the medicine pre
pared for the cure of the noble beasts.
From our exchanges w*; have gleaned
the following names for the disease:
Equine Influenza, Horse Cough, Tyler
Grip, Canada Horse D.acnse, Typhoid
Laryngitis, Horse Distemper, Eppizo
etie, Hippozmosis, Eppizymcr.i', Horse
Influenza, Hippo Grippe, Eppinippic,
Hippozyinetic, Catarrhal Fever, ilip
pO-maUria, Epyzooty, Hippie Distem
per, Equine Catarrhal Affection, C*s
trosrysipelationS, Hipponorrhea. Out
of this assortment Philopipbica may
select the correct term. We may add
Uiut in case the druggist or v» teriuary
surgeon to whom you m;*y apply for
the required medicine slmuld look up
on you with idiotic stare after going
through the vocabulary above given,
just tell him that your horse bus the
influenza, aud he will probably be able
to give you the proper remedy. We
bediev# that auioug the worst inflic
tions caused by this disease are some
of thp names given it. If owners of
horses pass sufely through the crisis
without getting eppizootickeil or hav
ing a slight touch of the hypo, we sh .11
be glad.
The immediate treatment of the dis
ease, both to restore horses already
utflicted and to prevent others from
taking it, is what everyone desires to
know. While the air is surcharged
with this epidemic malaria, animals
must not be overworked. They must be
fed on soft food—liko bran nt.ish, car
rots and salted hay—allowed to drink
cold watsr —must be well blanketed,
kept warm and have plenty of clean
bedding. Those which are sick, in
addition lo the above, should he given
warm flax seed tea and aconite —the
nostrils aud eyes kept clean with a
soft sponge well rinsed in warm water,
and the windpipe, throat, chest, belly,
and legs bathed and wrapped in some
penetrating emollient.
A good many gentlemen treat u cu.se
of influenza in the horse the same na
they would treat influenza in them
selves, and the treatment has been
successful. Os course. It is more
diflicult to keep a horse from taking
flesh cold after cleaning his system by
stimulants and perspiration; btill, by
the exsroise of thought and care, the
thing can bo done. The peculiar at
mospheric changes have favored the
wide-spreading of diseases among
horses. Light is as uecossary to a
horse’s health us to that of a man, aud
yet uearly all our horses live, except
during their few hours of work out of
door’s, often in the case of the city
horse not over two or three, almost
in complete darkness. In the best and
mast commodious stables they have
nothing moie than a twilight. More
over, the lungs of a horse are just like
those of a man—only larger, their
functions are precisely the same to
take iu fresh air.
There is nothing new under the sun, j
is as true now ns wheu it wan first j
writ. The horses of the ancients were
troubled with the Hippogrip or Epi
zooty iu their day, as our nimble and
noted nags are now. It appearoth
that an engraving iu a venerable copy
of Dryden’s Virgil, represents the ef
fects of a diaoaso among animals, and
in the back ground a gang of men are
seen itontly dragging home au im
mense load of hay, while the sick
beasts aro lying about, dying or dead.
As all iucidonts are of interest which
relate to the universal talk and topic,
it is weli worthy of note that iu Roch
ester, whero the bores disease has
made such sad ravages, a touching in
cident took place iu one of the lire en
gine houses. The lust one of the two
spleudid “greys,” costing the city $650,
was dying. Suddenly the bell tolled
out an alarm of fire. True to old im
pulses, tho dying steed endeavored to'
regain his feet, and actually did raise
himself on his fore legs, only to fall
helpless immediately. Death closed
the faithful animal’s eyes in au hour
and a quarter after.
A word of warning to tli9 owners of
horses having the disease. In all prob
ability the epidemic will leave them
tender and more susceptible to cold.
Hud the disease occurred in the spring, I
the warm months of summer would
have afforded them a fine opportunity
to recover without much risk of per-
manent injury. But winter and spring
are approaching with their changeable
and trying weather; and it is fair to
presume that ten times more horses
will be destroyed by imprudence dur
ing the present inclement season than
by the present epidemic. Some far
riers will say that the animals will re
cover immediately, without leaving
any weakness about them, and their
owners may congratulate themselves
on such a prospect; but it is best to
run no risk. The necessity of t' - ’ ing
more than usual care will be munifest.
Such caro may stfse many a noble
beast from death aud many a dollar
Cos tho owner’s pocket, thereby pre-
Twsting a material rise in tho horse
market for two or three years lo come.
Comfortable stabler, warm blankets,
(•specially rthder exposure,) good diet,
and the a .eiding of overwork, will go
far to prevent such loss. The Golden
Rule, with a slight alteration, will ap
ply here, “Do unto your horses as you
would have your horses do unto you.’’

A Shout Sermon. —Once we were
young ami uow we are not so young.
Once we imagined that a rich man
was very happy. Now we know that
money has very little to do with hap
piness. We commend to our youth
the following short sermon:
“Two things ought to bo strongly
impressed upon the young people of
our country. The insecurity of rich
es, even when acquired, and their un
satisfying character. There is no fal
lacy so universally chorished as the
notion that wealth is securely a means
of happiness. The care of a large
property is one of the most burden
some of earth’s trusts. The only ma
terial good that comes from any es
tate, ia to be made out of a moderate
income far more easily that a large
oue, and with fewer attendant disad
vantages. Few thoughtful mem would
undertake tho stewardship of large
estates oo a positive bargain that they
would receive no more for taking care
of it that ordinarily falls into the lap
of the owner. The scramble after
wealth is due to a wrong estimate of
good wheu it is gained."

DAT GHI'BEING 11<KN
Many years ago, there lived in ft
beautiful little coantry town iu North
Alabama, a genial, warm hearted old
gentleman, Judge H— . well known
before th«~*WM*> —was an old negro i
named Jake, or as he was more famil
iavly cdied Unde Juke, and there,
never lived a more provoking old dar- j
key; for Uncle Juke, although a favor
ite, bad many weaknesses, and among j
others he was particularly regardless
of truth, to such ay extent, in fact,
that occasionally the good old Judge j
found it necessary to puni.-h him v It
was the custom in theseldays f.s .he
town constable to administer a fl*>g
ging, for u consideration, whenever the
master wits disincline 1 to i-.p dictate.
and the constable of this particular
town had a -even* reputation for v >ro-1
ticienoy amongst the darkies who Lad j
uow and then been so unfortunate as j
to come under his hands. Jake, al
though ho had never been there, was ;
well posted, and had a great repug- 1
nance to Massa G , who was the j
incumbent at that time: On one oc-j
ciision during the Christmas days, ;
while the old Judge was quite sever- |
ly iudiiposad. Uncle Jake had been ■
guilty of a misdemeanor, and punish-;
meut was deemed necessary, so the *
Judge wrote as follow*
Mr. G : Please give the bear
er thirty-nine lashes slid charge.J,s> (
mo. Jt ooe H.
Calling up Uncle Juki) the Judge
I ordered him to carry the note to G—
who would give him a grubbing hoe!
Jake started off up town, but his ,
i suspicions 'vsre aroused. He couldn’t j
understand what the Judge wanted
! with a hoe at Christmas
time, and his conscience was not as
clear as It should have been, the rc
, suit of his suspicion was that the truth
; suddenly flashed upon him—he was
I to be whipped. Seeing a boy up- I
proaching, he took out the note and
said:
‘Mass i Dob, what in dis note, got
so many dis morning, I got ein mix
ed.”
The hoy read the note and explain
ed its contents to Jake, who whistled
and laughed to himself as a bright
idea struck him. Calling a negro boy
who was near, Jake said:
‘‘Hoy, does you want to make a
quurtci?
‘Of course I does.’
‘Well, take dis down dar, to Massa
G——, Rud get a garden boo, and I’ll
wait here ’till you comes back, and
cten T gives you a quarter.
The boy burned off to % accomplish
his errand, and m duo course delev
ered the note to 0 -, who took him
into the yard, locked the gate, and
proceeded, despite all the boy’s pro
testations of innocence, to administer
the desired flogging, while Jake hur
ritrl off home, chuckling over the hap
py result of what might have been a
serious business for him.
That evening the Judge called him
np and inquired:
‘Jake, did you got that grubbing
hoe?’
‘No, massa; I give a boy a quarter
to fotch did note to Massa G— ,
and I spec he got dat, ho.*.’
WHERE DID THE RltHl MAN
OO TO? - _
Little Jolumy was preparing for
Sunday School, situated some distance
away, when ms mother saw one of
their neighbors approaching in *his
wagon. This neighbor, by the way,
was called “The Rich Man," being both
wealthy, kind hearted, and.liberal to
the poor. Johnny ran out, and the
rich man took him into his wagon, as
he was going right past the Sunday
School. It was a very hot day, and
Johnny took off his shoes and stock
ings to keep cool. When they arriv
ed, the exercises had already begun,
and as the man was going to church
about a mile beyond, and had agreed
to call for Johnny on his return, he
concluded not to put on his shoes and
stockings again, but leave them iu the
wagon. So ho tripped lightly into
school, and the man drove away to
wards church. t
His teacher was just hearing tlxq
lesson, which by the way, Johnny was
not acquainted with, which was the
fates of the rich man and poor Laza
rus. Soon after Johnny took his seat,
it came his turn to answer a question.
“Johnny, can you tell me where the
rich man went ?”
“He went to the Baptist meeting,
sir,’’ replied the lad, thinking only of
his late companion.
“No, no, my son, the rieh man went
to hell,V said the teacher, with grfeat
impressiveness, while the other schol
ars were tittering with laughter.
“Did he?” exclaimed the lad iu all
honesty. “Thou ho has taken my
shoes and stockings with him,” and ho
jumped, and seizing his hat, he put
out of the schoolroom and down the
road to overtake the rich man and re
cover Lis property.
P RESIDENT’S MESS AG E.
The only report of any head of
department completed is that of the
Secretary of War, the others a r in a
state of forwardness. Nearly all the
reports of the chiefs of bureaus have
been sent to the Public Printer. The
President has recently been arrang
ing the points for his message, but
has not jet commenced writing * it.—
Somo of the contents of the docu
ment can be inferred only from some
of his recent private utterances, and
it is safe to siy that it will be more
liberal iu its tone, aud especially to
wards tho South, than his former
message?. The recent voto, in that
section, being indicative of a better
feeling than heretofore towards the
general government, while the press
is more moderate in utterances, the j
taking into account the-popular ma
jority of the entire conntry.' 'JJhe
late pardon of Appleton Oaksmith is
regarded, by Southern gentlemen, as

it will be seen, does not inhere in good I
bye any more than in good morning, \
ggod evening, good night, etc. Yet in i
using those expressions, a devout !
mind may connect it with them all. j
: There is a note-worthy use of these :
phrases to winch we would call atten
tion. Good bye Is used only ou part
ing, never bn meeting. tSolwith good
day uud, good night. We use these
qx-nreesfous only on tilkiug leave of
others. But good morning, good aft-er
litejn, good,evening, we use on
meeting and bn parting. Again' the
use of any of these expressions, ex
cept good bye, implies -that the previ;,.
ous or the subsequent is
one of comparatively dtflfation.
Ou meeting a friend after months of
absence, one would hardly say “Good
umruing!” or “Good evening!’’ or
“Good afternoon!” Or if we are part
ing with a friend whom we do not ex
pect to see again for weeks or months,
if ever, we do not say “Good day!” or
“Good night!” “Good morning!’’ or
“Good Evening!’’ but “Good bye!”—
If we should hear friends, who were
parting for a separation of mouths,
Say “Good day!” or “Good morning!”
we should set the friendship down as
extremely heartless, aud the parting
as equally cold and indifferent. These
I expressions denote but brief periods,
a few hours, a morniug, an evening, a
i day, a night, perhaps a little longer.
But not so with good h ye~ This
turally implies a long separati >••, as
of a journey to some remote pm.. t re

j In comparison with adieu aud fare

character, an*ld Oiirries more s heart
with it. The fomar belongs to le|
, gibus of ppotry and'J-omaytic racier
I than to that of "every-day life, and
, heart-felt friendship. ' Hence they are

ter. And yet, strange to say, especially
j since aaieu is derivittively and uhiisu
; ally solemn word they answer very
well when thrown off in a light, non
• ohidautio way after casual or brief in
terviews. But when a word express
: ive of reaTfeeling is required, we say
I s in the language of the well-known
song,
“Rut give to me,- when loved ones part,
That sweet old word ‘Good-bye.”
This hearty old Saxon term is then
preferred to all those others; it is the
only single word that will answer.

HELP YOUR TOWN.
The following from an exchange is
as true as preaching, and our people
-should keep the views contained in
the article constantly in mind:
* The-way-to make a town is to help,
as much as passible every iudustry in
our midst. Judiciously aid every en
terprise (hat promises to add strength
aud character to the place. If your
neighbor builds a house, help him to
pay for it. Ts you aro a property
holder every new house strengthens
yours, aud it is but right to recipro
cate. Don’t hide a dollar with a pen
ny. Look ahead. Consider what is
best for j.h’u in thje. - l£>hg .run. Don’t
be so jealous. If you cun draw- ad
vantage from an enterprise forward
ed by au enemy, support it if it even
does enrich him. Should a man start
up a legitimate business in an obscure
part of the town, whether 6r no a
friend or even an acquaintance, say a
good word for him whenever occasion
presents itself, it will cost you noth
ing, and may do him incalculable good,
! always remembering that “bread cast
j upon the waters will return after many
) days.’’ - • \-

HOW SOIL WAS MADE.
Professor Agassiz says that all the
material on which agricultural prog
ress depends are decomposed rocks,
not so much those that underlie the
soil, but those on the surface, and
brought from a considerable distance,
and ground to powder by the rasping
of the glaciers. Ice all over U, e con
tinent is the agent that aag ground
out more soil than all othex- agencies
put together. penetration of wa
ter into the thicks, frost, running wa
ter and bfO.-iug sans have done some
thing, but the glaciers more. In a
former age the whole United States
was covered with ice, several thousand
feet thick, and this ice moving from
north to south by the attraction of the
tropical warmth, or pressing weight
of the snow and ice behind, ground
the rocks over which it passed into the
paste which we-call soil. These mass
es of ice can be tracked as game is
tracked by the hunter. He has made
a study 6f them in this conntry as far
South as Alabama, but has observed
the same phenomenon in Europe, par
ticularly iu Italy, where, among the
Alps, glaciers are now in progress.
The stones and rocks ground and pol
ished by tho glaciers can easily be dis
tinguished from those scratched by
miming water. The augular boulders
found iu meadows and the terraces of
riven* not reached by water can be ac
counted for only in this way.
%o Weak to Climb. —“ Are you not
afraid that whisky will get into your
head?” asked a stranger of a man he
saw drinking at a bar. “No,” said
the toper, “this liquor’s 100 weak to
•climb.”
“Meet me at the gate, love,’’ has
been changed to “Meet me at the
grate,* love.” The cool weather
necessitated the change.
A young Lady in passing another
should not turn around to see what
the other wears, because the other is

The action of the German Govern
ment iu interfering with the trans
portation of emigration at reduced
rates is extremely illiberal. If the
people want to leave, aud can better
their condition by so doing, to place
obstacles in their way is nothing more
or less tlmu odious tyranny.— Atlanta

The sand’s all in my feet;
My calves wen’t work, if oxens do,
For horses on t he street.

Such “pilgrims progress” as this is
Makes each mat “buaion” hate;
And, theugh a strict teetotaler,
lie’s earned in spite es Fate.
Forgotten now is horsemanship,
And driving’s a lost art;
Hotels ean’t furnish carriages—
They’ve nothing but the carte.
The price of leather’s going up
At a most fearful rate,
And evory cow hide’s quivering,
best shafts slieuld he her fats.
No oar ’.os now will carry us,
Urged bn by driver’s whacks;
Oh for the wings Icarus had,
Although they were of wax.
Then lot us hop# that horsee may
15e freed from present woes,
And running on their feet again,
Instead of at the nose.
WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
For pleasure or pain, for weal or for woe—
’Tis the law of our being—we reap as we
sow;
We may try to evade them, may do what
we will,
But our*acts, like our shadows, will follow
us still.
The world is a wonderful chemist, be sure,
And detects in. a moment the base or the
pure;
We may boast of our claims to genius or
birth,
But the world takes a man for just what he
is worth.
We start in the race for fortune or fame,
And then, when we fall, the world bears
the blame;
But nine times out of ten, ’tis plain to be
seen,
There’s a “screw somewhere loose” in the
human machine.
Arc yeu wearied aud worn in this hard,
earthly strife t
Do you yearn for affection to sweeten your
life?
Remember, this great truth has often been
proved,
We must make ourselves lovable, would we
be loved.
Though life may appear os a desolate track,
Yet the bread that we cast on the water
comes hack.
This law was enacted by Heaven above.
That like attracts like, and love begets love.
We are proud of our mansions of mortar
and stone,
In our gardens are floweis from every zone ;
But tho beautiful graces which blossom
within
Grow shriveled and die the Upas of Sin.
We make ourselves heros and martyrs for
gold,
Till Uo-Jith becomes broken, and youth be
comes old.
Ah ! did we the same for a beautiful love,
Our lives might be music for angels above.
We reap what we sow—oh! wonderful
truth !
A truth hard to learn in the days of our
youth ;
It shines out at last, as the “ hand on the
wall,”
For the world has its “ debit” and “ credit
for all.
MIND YOUR OWN CONCERNS.
Mind your own concerns, my friend,
For they are yours alone;
Don’t talk about your neighb sr’s faults,
But strive to mend your own.
Suppose he does not always lead
A truly perfect life.
What matters if he sometimes frets*
Or quarrels with his wife ?
Don’t meddle—let him know, my friend,
Youi better nature spurns
To act the spy on him or his—
Just mind year own concerns.
Yes, mind your own concerns, my friend,
And, presently you’ll find
That all your time is occupied,
And you’ve quite enough to mind.
Why need you care if Nnooks or Spooks,
Should wed with Ballie Jone« ?
What matter if your neighbor ('
A half a million owns ?
The money is not yours, my friend,
Though golden stores he earns ;
go do not envy him hi* wealth,
But mind your own concerns.
Yc», mind your own concerns, my friend,
It is a better plan
Than always to be spying out
The deeds of brother man.
Remember that all persons have.
Though hidden from your view,
Thoughts that to them of right belong,
And not at all to you.
And also bear in mind, my friend,
A generous nature worms
No secret from a brother’s brea/t
So mind your own concern I*. 1 *.
Cheer up my friend, n* or evett chafe,
Though dangers tJ.ould increase;
For Heaven who the sparrows safe
Will not forgo’ the geese. *

REMARKABLE CURE OF
SCROFULA, ETC.
CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston, Ueokuia, September 15,1872.
Doctor J. 8. Dan barton:
Dkxk Sir—lt gives me pleasure
to furnish you with an account of
the remarkable cure which i have experienced
from the use of your Compound Extract of
Stillingia. For sixteen years 1 have been a
great sufferer from Scrofula in its most
distressing forms. I have been confined to my
room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous
ulcerations. Such was my condition—far more
painful amt distressing than language can
describe. Most of the lnne I was unable to
rise from bed. The most approved remedies
for such cases had been used, aud the most
eminent physicians consulted, without auy
decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed
desponding, I was advised by Doctor Ayer, of
Floyd county, Georgia, to commence the use
of your -Compound Extract of Stillingia.
Language is insufficient to describe the relief
1 obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it
is to convey an adequate idea of the intensity
of my suffering betore using your medicine:
sufficient to say, “I am cured of all pain,” of
ali disease, with nothing to obstruct the activo
pursuit or my profession. More than eight
months have elapsed since this remarkable
cure, without any return of the disease.
For the above statement 1 refer to any
gentleman.il) ltartow county, Georgia, aud to
the members of the bar id Cherokee Circuit,
who-are acquainted with me. 1 shall ever
remain, sir, with the deepest gratitude,
Your obedient servant, J. C. Blt ANoCIK.
