THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By g. H. SMITH & CO.] 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.’’ Doylestm Journal. 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." »’ Eighteen lives were lost in the Bos ton fire. 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.'

The idea of God be-1 mg with the ohe addressed, theicfore,] 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 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. S. W. W. 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.’’ - • \- IMPORTANCE*OF READING.

Tommy was cautioned against eat ing too much luncheon, because he would spoil his appetite for dinner.— But Tommy said he would rather have a good luncheon than a good appetite at any time.

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 engaged in doing the same thing. 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 Sun. POETRY. ..

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.

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.
