THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. P 0 E TRY. A SION-BOA BIX 1 will paint you a sigh, rum-seller, And hang it above your door; A truer and a better sign-board Titan ever you bad before. I will paint w ith the skill of a master, And many shall pause to see This wonderful piece of painting, Ho like the realty. I will paint yourself, rum-seller, As you wait for that fair young boy, Just in the morn of manhood, A m ither’s pride and joy. llr has no thought ot stopping, But you greet him with a smile, And you seem so blithe and friendly That he pauses to dual awhile. 1 will paint yon again, rum-seller, i will paint you as you stand, With a loam in g glass of ttqnor Holding in either hand, lie wavers, but you urge him ; “Drink ! pledge me just this one!” And he lifts the glass and drains it, And the hellish work is done. Ami the next I will paint a drunkard ; Only a year has flown, Hut into this loathsome creature This lair young hoy has gtuwn. The work was quick and rapid; i will paint him as he lies In a torpid drunken stupor, Under the wintry skies. I will paint the form of the mother As blie kneels at her darling’s side— Her beautiful boy that was dourer Thun all the world beside. I will paint the shape of a collin Labelled with the one word “Lost!” l will paint all this, rum-seller, And paiut it free of cost. The sin and the shame and the sorrow, The crime and want and woe, That is born there in your rum-shop, No lumd can paint,you know; But I’ll paint you a sign, rurusclier, And many shall pause to view This wonderful, swinging sign-board, So terribly, fearfully true. THE GOSPEL OF LABOR. MY MARGARET J. PUKSTOX. ( What (he South Says to Her Children.) I have smoothed from my forehead its sadness; ‘Tin over! Thank Heaven therefor! 1 would hide now with garments of gladness The sackcloth and ashes of war. Not a word of the past! It has perished, (June down in its beauty and bloom ; l et because it so proudly was cherished, IShull we sigh out our years at its tomb ? By the duty and honor undaunted, Still steadiest and stern as can be ! By the laurels a Jackson has planted, By the hopes that we buried with Tec - Let us wrest from the future the guerdons That no resolute purpose belong: Let us lling from our spirits their burifcns, And quit us like men and be strong! 1 bring you, compatriots, brothers, (As largess you dare not disdain, Like Nature’s, that bountiful mother) Savannahs us smooth as the main. My valleys shall whiten nil over With snow never horn of the cold, And grain like a Midas shall cover Every slope that it touches with gold, The clink of the artisan’s hummer Hindi scare from the forest its glooms, In the brake shall the water-fowls’ clamor Be drowned by the clash of the looms. Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers! The dream ye arc dreaming deceives ; (in forth to the field with the reapers, And garner the prodigal sheaves. With flocks gladden meadow and mountain, With tinkling herds speckle each hill, And blend with the splash of the fountain, The rumble and roar of the mill. Brave hearts that have wielded the sabre, Staunch spirits that stood by the gun, Take heed to the Gospel of Labor; The olcl dispensation is done! i’lit hands to the plow of endeavor, Plant foot to the deep-furrowed track ; Set face to the future, and never One wavering moment look back. For none who despairing centre Their thoughts on the By-gone and the ban The Present are fitted to enter The On-coming Kingdom of man, LADIES' PRETTY FEET-AS SEEN BY POETS. Poets in every time have lavished praises on the “human toot divine.” Homer calls Thetis “the silver-footed queen.” Paris, iu making choice of the many beautiful virgins brought before him: “Their gait- he marked as gracefully they moved, And round their feet his eyes sagacious roved.” Ben Johnson describes a lover, whose devo tion to his mistress was so great that he ’’would adore the shoe, And slipper was left oil', and kiss it, too.” Aud again: “And where she went the flowers took thickest root As she had sowed them with her odorous foot.” The following sentiment is from an old vol ume of anonymous poems: “How her feet tempt; how soil aud light she treads, Fearing to wake the flowers trom their beds; Yet from their sweet green pillows everwvhere They start and gaze about to see my fair. Look how that pretty, modest columbine Hangs down its head to view those feet of thine 1 See the foml motion of the strawberries, Creeping on earth to go along with thee ; The lovely violet makes after, too, Unwilling yet, my dear, to part with you. The knot-grass and the daisies eateh thy toes, To kiss my fair one’s feet before she goes.” “Do not fear to put thy feet naked in the river, sweet; Think not newt, nor leach, nor toad, Will bite the foot where thou hast trode.” —(Wilson’s Cheerful Ayers. Herrick pays the following delicate compli ment to Mrs. Southward: “Her pretty feet, Like smiles, did creep, A little out, and then, As if they started at bo-peep, Did soon draw in again.” The following is also very beautiful from Sir John Suckling’s “Ballad of the Wedding:” “Her feet beneath her petticoat Like little mice stole in and out, As if they feared the light; But, oh, she dances such a way, No suu upon au Easter Day Is half so tine a sight!” Byron also exquisitely describes the anima tion of the character as shown iu the movement of the feet: “Katinka was a Georgian, white aud red, With great blue eyes, a lovely hand aud arm, And feet so small they scarce seemed made to tread, But rather skim the earth.” A gentleman took the following telegram to a telegraph office: “1 annouuce with grief the death of Un de James. Come quickly to read his will. I believe we are his heirs— John Black.” The clerk having counted the words, said: “There are two words too many, sir.” “All right cut out ‘with grief.’ ” “OUR COUNTRY.” HOW AMERICA PLUNDERS AMERI CANS. Ex-Governor Donnelly, of Minne sota, recently delivered a vigorous address before a “grange” of hus bandmen at Hastings. He told them truths which ought to be known and understood of till men who are going daily lower on the downhill side of prosperity, as the victims of laws made to enrich and “protect” pirates i stud piracy. Jle read a paper, signed by the principal merchants in Hast ings, in which they state that “the i amount of purchases made by farm ers has fallen off during the iast live years one-third to one-half; that is to say, the farmers are evidently econo mizing in every way, making small er bills, and buying only the necessa ! ri(>s of life.” This, of course, is one of the proofs and consequences of I steadily declining prosperity. What !is the cause of it? The speaker said, I with no Jess truth than force, “ Un just lutes have driven the farmers of I the whole country to the wall, and i diminished their means of existence ! one-third or one-half. Th is, of course, | signifies a shrinkage ml' the entire business of the country to the same extent. The laws of the country, and the monopoly power they create and j ‘protect,’ liave been bent to impover-; isii the people, and now they begin to feel that they liave ‘killed the goose that laid the golden egg.’ ” When will our farmers begin to consider the operation of these new slave laws? Here are a few signifi cant facts: “A sewing-machine casts for the work and material >l2. We pay S7O for it. The same machines are ex ported to Europe and sold for $32, af ter paying freight across the Atlantic. I found in the Belfast News of Dec. 4, 1872, the advertisement of the ‘Singer’ sewing-machine for £0 10s, about $32 50 of our money. We pay the difference of nearly S4O, under our patent laws, for being the most patient and gullible fools that ever pretended to a capacity for self-gov ernment. “McCormick gave evidence in a lawsuit recently that his reapers cost SSO to manufacture. We pay nearly 8200 for them. “The threshing-machines, for which we pay 8700, could, I am informed, be built for SIOO. And so of all other implements.” In part, this is the effect of our un just patent laws; in part, it is the ef fect of the purchasing power of wealth amassed by means of those laws up on venal Congressmen ; and, in part, it is the effect of that robber-device called a protective tariff, which binds men hand and foot in this “land of liberty” in the power of the protected monopolist. The Englishman has free trade; ho, therefore, can buy an American-made sewing machine for $32, for which the American, living next door to the “protected” manu facturer, must pay more than double that SUUI. \\ hat in to hinder the American from ordering Ids Ameri can-made sewing-machine from Bel fast, and after paying freight on it twice across the Atlantic ocean, get ting it for one-half the price which he would be compelled to pay to his neighbor, the manufacturer? Why should American laws thus place American citizens at a disadvantage to Her Majesty’s subjects in an Amer ican market? Who can say there is justice in such laws to enslave Amer icans in their own country? So, too, of reaping machines. An Illinois farmer could send to Eng land, buy a McCormick reaper, and have it shipped across the Atlantic and half-way across the continent to his farm, for half the money which he must pay to Boss MeCormic for the same machine—-but for what? Why, but for the blessed fact that our Great Father at Washington deems it necessary to “protect” poor, struggling, poverty-stricken Boss Mc- Cormick. Such are the artificial profits which the “protected” monopolist enjoys under the paternal care of our Great Father. Where are the farmer’s arti ficial profits? His produce is as low as before the war, while every thing fie buys and every expense that he must meet are at war prices, thanks to the blessed “protective system!” Says an lowa paper: A farmer would cheerfully sell his pork at $2 75 or $3 per hundred, if cotton and woolen goods, salt and other articles which he buys were at proportionate .rates; but they are not. So a farmer comes to town and puts two loads of potatoes on his feet, in the shape of his winter boots. If he stays all night he will eat a load of oats. Ilis wife wears five acres of wheat, and the children each ten acres of corn, and are not very warm ly clad then. For an overcoat he wears a four-year-old steer, and if he sport a Sunday suit it is in the shape of at least twenty head of fat hogs. And on top of that his farm wears a mortgage that is worse than hard pan to the soil, and the annual tax rots into his roW worse than rain.” Another urban journal says: “In driving through this country we see many farms which are unoc cupied, uncultivated, and apparently going to ruin ; many others occupied by tenants whose general squalidness indicates a close scramble with the necessity of existence, some of them occupying houses which are even un fit for the shelter of cattle during the storms of winter. If you inquire who owns this farm, you will be an swered ; such a man did own it, but he has gone out West. When he came to this country from the East he had sufficient money to buy and almost stock his farm; but he either bought a machine, or borrowed a lit tle money to buy a span of horses. All he could make from his farm would not pay the interest on the sum borrowed and keep his family also.” All this is the natural fruit of that system of spoliation and robbery which idiots and rascals style “pro- ; tection to home industry!” A sys which forcibly excludes *us from the markets of the world; fences us in, hinds in slavish chains to a greedy master, who skins us to the very bone. “The men of 177 G rose up against Euglarul rather than longer remain the wretched victims of her ‘naviga tion laws,’ whose sole object, in twen ty-two separate acts, was to monopo lize the trade and commerce of the colonies. We suffer tenfold greater wrongs than the colonies ever endur ed from a precisely similar system of monopoly ; we have the remedy, by peaceable revolution at the ballot box, in our own hands, but we seem to lack both the intelligence and the courage to use it.” SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 11), 1873. ; THE FUNNY MAN OF THE DANBURY NEWS. A correspondent writing from Dan bury gives the following description | of Mr. Bailey, the man who has, through the medium ofa small news paper, made much character as a humorist in a few years: Danbury is a thriving manufactur ing town of about 8,00 inhabitants, largely given over to the apprecia tion of jokes and the manufacture jof hats. We believe it lias been en i gaged in hat manufacture since— well, since it was destroyed by the British in 1777. Early evening found us creeping up a dark stairway to the composing j and printing office of the News. In one large room are the cases and presses, and fenced off by itself in one corner is the 7xll plain deal board sanctum, in which we found the editor opening his mail. Coming along in the cars to Dan bury, we had, in our idleness, won dered-if any of our fellow-travellers were the editor. A gentleman care fully dressed and adorned with spec tacles was finally selected as the pas sable humorist. We had made up our mind to a middle-aged man in broadcloth and spectacles, and now we found a fuil-faced young man dressed in coarse clothes, with scru pulously white linen, and no necktie. It may interest our lady readers to know that Mr. Bailey, is remarka ble fine-looking; he is evenfeatured with black, flowing hair, and clear dark complexion, and has an eye that shows that, like John Gilpin, “he has a pleasant wit.” As regards other personal matters, they are well epitomized in the fol lowing answer to a correspondent, lately published in the News: Holbrook , J lass. —The editor of this paper does not lecture: he is married. Mr. Bailey, has had a great many officers of pesitions upon metropolitan dailies but has refused them all; resolved to stay in Danbu ry, probably from an unrecognized felling thiit his is a “mind not to be changed by place.” In conversation we found him en gaging and overflowing with humor. A stenographer could make a rich ar ticle sitting by and talking with him. Many were the good things he said as the evening was passed with him, and we shall long remember our pleasant interview with “this most genial genius,” who with no adver tisement save that afforded by a > country newspaper with an original circulation of a few hundred copies, i nasjbecome one of the most quoted j writers in the country, and bids fair as a late critic says, “to take his place | at the head of American humor ists.” THE KIND HORSE. A friend of mine told me a story a little while ago, which interested me so much that J want to tell it to all my little friends. He owned a fine horse, which was very fond of him, and would come from the pas ture at the sound of his voice, and follow him about like a dog. Well, at one time the horse became lame, and was obliged to stay in his stable and not to be used for many weeks; and it was during this time that Mr. C. became interested to see how much the horse knew, and how kind his sympathies were. An old cat had made her nest upon the scaffold just above the horse’s manger, and had laid there her little family of five kit tens, to bring them up under good tuition, I suppose. She and the horse got on nicely for some days. She jumped down into his manger, and went off for food and then came back and leaped up to her kittens again. But one morning she rolled off into the manger with her foot bleeding, and badly hurt, so that she could scarcely crawl; but she managed td leap away on three feet and get her breakfast; but when sho came back she was entirely unable to get up to her kittens ; and what do you think she did ? She lay down at the hor se’s feet, and mewed and looked up several times, till at last pony, seem ing to understand her wants, reach ed, down, took the cat in her teeth and tossed her up on the scaffold to j her kittens, who 1 doubt not, were ! glad enough to see her. This, Mr. ! 0. told me, lie saw repeated morning after morning. Kit would roll off into the manger, go and get her breakfast, come back, and be tossed up to her family by the kind horse, who must have understood cat lan guage, and been willing to listen to it. OLD TIME AXIOMS. The following from an old scrap book. We reproduce them to show to the present generation what quaint ideas were promulgated by the teachers of our fathers and mothers of the olden time. An independent man is one who blacks his own boots who can live without tobacco and whisky, earns at least a penny more than he spends, and who can upon a pinch, shave himself with brown soap and cold water without a mir ror. A great man is one who can lead his children to obey him when out of sight. A hospitable man is never ashamed of liis dinner when a friend unexpectedly drops in to dine with him. A good wife exhibits her love for her husband by seeking to promote his welfare, and by ad mistering to his comforts. A sensi ble wife looks, for her enjoyment at home—a silly one, abroad. A wise girl would win a lover by practicing those virtues which secure admira tion when personal charms have fa ded.— A simple girl endeavors to re commend herself by the exhibition of frivolous accomplishment, and by a mawkish sentiment which has a little to do with a true heart as has the gaudy dress she wears. A good girl always respects herself, and is thus sure to be respected by others. CURIOUS DEVOTION. A singular affairoccured at Mfidi son, Wisconsin. A married man dis appeared from public view six months ago, and his wife, when questioned, gave such contradictory replies that it came to be generally believed that she had murdered him. She was arrested on Tuesday, and officers went to sarch her house. When they broke open the door they were met and savagely attacked by the man himself, who was a raving maniac. The wife who had spent these six months alone with her maniac husband, for the sake of earn ing for his wants, has herself gone mad since her arrest. PARAGRAPHS. Rabun county is so poor that the Sheriff cannot get sureties worth the amount of his bond. Hon. John A. Biughaui, os Ohio, has been appointed Minister to Ja pan. Hanging does not stop murder, but it comes nearer to it than any ex periment ever tried. The Rome rolling mill cannot sup ply the demand for nails, though it runs day and night. T. A. Rhett, formerly chief of Jim? Johnston staff, is now a full-fledged Egyptian General. What is 11iat that the rich man wants, the poor man has, the miser spends, and the spendthrift saves? Nothing. It is stated that the Ladies’ Lee monument Association of Virginia have in hand about $13,0X) in mon ey* The English language is spoken by 60,000,000 people the German by 55,- 000,000, the Spanish by 55,000,000, and tiie French by 45,000,000. Maj. Hawks, the well-known com missary of Stonewall Jackson’s com mand, died recently at his residence in Charlestown, W. Va. A Maine Court has lately deci ded that a railroad ticket is good for six years, if not used before the ex piration of that time. A Kentucky man has named his sixteenth child, recently born to him, Omega, hoping that fates will let her be the last. Professor Mitchell says that the world will be so cool 1,000,000 years from now that no one can live in it. Let us weep. A correspondent of the Courier- Journal says a half teaspoonful of sul phur placed in each sock every mor ning is a sure preventative against cholera. Atlanta, 9 O’clock p. m. ) June 13, 1873. j Isham Belton O’Neil was hung here to day for the mureer of James Little in 1871. Hon. David L. Warelaw, oxJudge of the Supreme Court of South Cha rolina, died at his residence,in Abbe ville, S. C., after a brief illness, Sun day morning, at half past five o’clock. A Vermont school teacher has struck the thing at last. He makes unrnly boys turn the grindstone one thousand times while another boy bears on with a stick of wood. The editor of the Fredericburg (Va.) News was asked by a stranger “if it was possible that little town kept up four newspapers,” and the reply was, “No, it takes four newspa pore to keep vij> tlxo iunru." The Albany Evening Journal sug gests that by way of consolation, the next time you are hard up, reflect upon the fact that the Bank of En gland has a capital of ninety million dollars. A negro was put upon the stand as a witness, and the judge inquired if he understood the nature of an oath. ‘ t For certing, boss,” said the citizen ; “if I swear to a lie I must stick to him !” Rev. Dr. 11. 11. Tncker, the dis tinguished Georgia divine, has been invited to supply the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New York, during the absence in Europe of its pastor, Rev. Thomas Armitage, D. D. It may be regarded as a favorable symptom of the times that no less than six eminent Southern clergy men have been invited to fill, either temporally or permanently, the vari ous pulpits of New York city. Stokes. —After all Stokes has ob tained anew trial. He won’t hang at present. We nominate him acan idate for the next Mayor of Boston. He is one of thecleverist fellows we now know of.— Macon Enterprise. The postal card contractors are now furnishing half a million cards daily, and yet they are far behind the demand. Thirty-six million cards had been ordered by the post masters up to the first of this month. The new system is decidedly popu lar. This is the latest from Jonesboro : “An old lady selling eggs yesterday asked, as is usual, “what’s the news ?”. “The latest,” said the obliging clerk, “is that the Yankees have got the Modocks.” The old lady struck her knuckles on the counter and exclaim ed, “I hope the last one of’ern will die of it!” The Mammoth Cave is for sale for $500,000. — Exchange. We have been in negotiation with Gen. Grant about buying it for him; but some of our subscribers having tailed to pay up aud advertising be ing a little slack, we failed. Our ob ject was a patriotic one ; we wanted to put him in there and shut the door. —Macon Enterprise. The Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia has decided that Sunday schools do not from any part of the worship of God. Two societies together built a church never to be used for any purpose but the worship of God. Subsequently one of the societies opened a Sabbath school in the church. The other objected, protest ed, sued and carried the suit to the Supreme Court, which Court decided “that the business of teaching a Sab bath school connot legally be consid ered as the worship of God”—and the Sunday sahool was ordered to vacate the church. POWER OF THE PRESS. Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco, speaks truthfully as follows: “The newspaper is more feared to-day in Congressional halls and the high pla ces of corrupt on and villiany than laws and courts, the stings of con science, and the thunders of Divine wrath. God is a great way off, and thejudgment waits; but the übiq uitous reporter thrusts his sharp gaze into all overt and hidden schemes, an unering detective. The pestilent spy will tell all he sees, tell it on the house tops, print for a nation of readers. Good! Give us more of this! Long Jive the reporter! Let every public man who meditates a little piece of gainful fraud under stand he is ‘shadowed’ at eacli step by this unbrought espionage, and thought he may not he converted, he will he restrained.” Fan, Garden and Household. TO KEEP HAMS IN SUMMER. There are a number of modes giv !on to keep hams through the warm season, free from the attacks of in setts. Some bag them and white- I wash the bags, which is troublesome ; and somewhat expensive; some cov er them with dry wood ashes and pack them in barrels and cover thor oughly with pine shavings; but we think the best plan of all, ami cer tainly the least expensive with all who have a smokehouse, and every farmer should have a good one, is to keep the hams hungup in thesinoke -1 louse, which should be kept perfect ly dark at all times. We have eaten halns so kept two years old, and they were among the best we ever tasted. Uniform darkness is a complete pro tection against the attack of insects. Col. Felton, of Macon county, some years ago, told us his method, which L efficacious and certain. The Colo nel, when he puts aside his new r sup ply of hams for the summer, always lias a large number of old ones to sell, which are perfectly sound and good. Ham is effectually defended from skippers when the fly cannot punc ture it and deposit her larvae. When, therefore, the ham hits been properly cured and before the fly season begins, it is put in an osnaburg bag and fill- j ed in between the ham and bag with shucks or sweet hay. The bag is then securely tied and hung up by the string, and Mrs. Fly is shut out effectually—for then she cannot reach the ham to puncture it. Now, with out this provision, unless the cloth coating of the ham is rendered per fectly imprevious to the attacks of the fly or to the exuding grease from the ham enclosed, it affords very little protection. If the ham rests upon the bag and the latter becomes satu rated in any part with grease, that greasy cloth affords at once a place of deposit for the eggs of the fly where they will readily hatch, and the skip pers will very soon infect the entire ham. But this is impossible when a good mat of dry shucks or hay inter venes between the sack and ham, un less the latter is kept in a very warm place. 001. Felton says he never has found skippers in a ham protected in this way. He does not whitewash the sacks, and the same sack may be used year after year untiMt is worn : out in the service. “The farmers’ movement has para lyzed the Republican party in Illi nois, and the paralysis promises to endure for some time. The move ment is only in its infancy. Its in terference in the election of Judges is not by any means thorough. In many counties the organization is in complete, and it was no part of the programme in the first instance to in terfere with the Courts. Farmers’ nominations of candidates forjudges - W ' 3" io/*ir)f»n( • thpqro-qnization has further and moredistmcive work before it. “In November next there is to be elected in every county in this State a corps of county officers, including treasurers, county clerks, surveyors, etc., which have heretofore been re garded as the exclusive spoils of par ty managers. The farmers’ organi zation will probably nominate their own men, and elect them to all these places, except in the larger cities. A year later, in 1874, they will have their organizations so complete in every township that they w T iil take the election of the twenty-six State Senators and the one hundred and fifty-three Representatives in the Legislature into their own hands.” Syrup of Coffee. —This prepara tiou is of great use to those who have long journeys to make. Take \ pound of the best ground coffee, put into a saucepan containing three pints of water and boil it down to one pint. Cool the liquor, put it into another saucepan well scoured and boil it again. As it boils add white sugar enough to make it the consistency of syrup. Take it from the fire and when it is cold put it into a bottle and seal. When traveling, if you wish for a cup of good coffee, you have only to put two teaspoonfuls of the syrup into an ordinary coffee-pot and till it with boiling water. Add milk to taste if you can get it. Breakfast Puffs ‘-Take twoeggs, well beaten, and stir into a pint of milk, a littfe salt, a pint of butter, and a pint and a-half of flour. Beat the eggs and stir the milk. Add the salt, melt the butter, and stir in. Then pour all into the flour, so as not to have it lumpy. Stir up thor oughly, and grease the cups into which the batter is poured, tilling them two-thirds full. Eat with sauce. Sweet Pickles, by some consid ered superior to the old-fashioned ap plesauce, are made by partly baking sweet apples, and then saturating them in a {tickle of vinegar, sugar, and spices. This is easier to make than apple-sauce, which must be smothered in boiled cider, and is full as healthful as the unripe cucumber. Craker Pies.— Take six soda crackers; break them into a dish, and pour over them two cups of cold water. Let them stand until they can be reduced to a pulp. Add one and one-half cup of sugar, two tea spoons of tartaric acid, and flavor to taste with lemon. This is sufficient for two pies. Hominy Pudding.— Prepare as for batter-cakes; add one egg for each pint, some whole cinnamon, su gar to suit taste, and a few raisins; bake like ricepudding. A little but ter or chopped suet may be added. Serve hot or cold, with or without sauce. Pop-ovEßS.—Pour eggs, four cups of flour, four cups of milk, a small piece of melted butter, and a little salt. These may be baked in gem tins or small cups, which should be previously heated. Bake in a hot oven. How to Make a Filter.— Place on the perforated bottom of a box a piece of flannel, and on this some coarsely-powdered charcoal, then some coarse river-sand, and cover the whole with sandstone brokeu in piec es. Blackberry Cordial.— Three pounds of ripe blackberries and one pound of white sugar ; let them stand twelve hours; press the juice and strain it. Add one-third of good spirits, and to every qurrtateaspoon fui of finely powdered allspice. It is at once tit for use. THE Standard & Express Is published every THURSDAY MORNING BT S. H. SMITH Sl CO.
