A Tale of i!it> I.jiic Har
Lauderdale, a little Virginia town.
: lying between the Blue Ridge and
j the Alleghany mountains, was astir
early on one .Mine day of 1801, for
the soldier hoys were coming—the
i ones in gray—and they would of
couisebe very hungry, a condition
that had become chronic with Con
federate soldiers by that time. They
were 1o inarch rapidly through the
town, and whatever hospitality was
to be shown them must lie in a soit
of passover form. So the townfolk
were making busy with preparation
to waylay the regiments on the street
with bread and meat and coffee—rye
coflee—and buttermilk ami sorghum
molasses ginger cakes, and black
berry wine and home brewed ale.
You would have taken it for a
market day in some <Hd World vil
lage. so animated was tMo thronged
street and with people in such queer
costumes. The dignified matron and
the dourest maid wore complacently
furniture calico of the most startling
patterns; gray and blue domestic
was made to tit slender waists, w hose
antebellum >i!k and velvet had given
on hat i and bonnets were of all
;: 1 ' ' J j °* n< P lai *
yd‘ cat straw'; olu silk stocking
leg . ■ :iid as well fitting gauntlets,
and the more stylish wore shapely
gloves of chamois slop, which had
known the good (‘fleet I of soap and
water, sin y it used to rub the family
silver. Trim feet were covered with
hand knit stockings, the cotton hav
ing been spun in thewinte? evenings,
wiieii reading was scarce for the
want of new books, and letter writing
scanty because of ten cent stamps, j
and sociables few because there were
no beaux and no refreshments to be I
had; stout leather shoes, of village!
manufacture were laced over those!
primitive hose, with heels the far-!
thest possible remove from French.
Men were conspicuously absent, oalv
old men and boys representing the
sox. except where some sleek publi
can managed to put a government
office between himself and hot bul
lets.
l his was tire picture presented by
the long straggling main street,
as Lauderdale awaited the soldiers,
that bright summer day.
Gary Brook, however, was not lend
ing lierseit to this good work of
catering; she seemed to be devoting
herself to the esthetic instinct of the
soldiers,. for the adornment of her
dainty self occupied an unusual time.
Ami yet Col. Bird, of the 101st Mis
sissippi. was not in the division
which was to pass through Lauder
dale that day; but w hen does not a
pretty girl think that her lover may
“happen along.” Oh, if you knew
what tunny clothes we wore in those
days! And ii you could believe how
serenely line we felt in the queer
dtids! Gary's dress on that particu
lar morning was of homespun cotton
that is. woven in the country , lif
teen dollars a yard, ten yards 1 a
dress; total, one hundred and fifty
dollars. It was new and fresh, tit
ting her "slim elegance.” as Howell
say s, "as the >luath of the flower tits
the flower.” Brown lengths of hair
ornamented her shapely head with
lavish beauty , but no girl is satisfied
with nature’s adorning, and the long
blockade had brought Cary's stock
of pretty things to the lowest ebb.
l'he white frills weae freshly crimped,
and throat and wrists responded to
their becoming effect; “but oh. for a
touch of color!" sighed the girl with
true instinct, for the somberish dress
needed it.
Why, there, to be sure, were the |
G revilie roses, climbing right against
her window. Long clusters of small i
flowers, white, shaded with many va- 1
rieties of pink, all in one bunch, and
so sweet.
Half an hour later Gary stood at
the front of the gate, with the GDe
vil le roses in her hair and at her
throat, as intent upon rationing the se
dear, dirty fellows as a chief ob a
commissary. But they were tren? en
viously hungry, and after the last
bite that could be found in the b*ouse
had been given out. a straggler came
up and asked for breakfast.
"Oh. I'm so sorry." said tb.o girl.
“We shall have to keep a fast day as
it is. but I would keep two at a time
if 1 only had a nice luea’xfast for
you.”
The soldier took off his c.kl slouch
hat, and intyle such a low bow that
Cary turned again to look at him.
"To what regiment do you belong?”
.she asked.
“1 am just from the Lynchburg
hospital,’ he replied, “and on mv
way to join the 101st Mississippi.”
ihe roses suddenly bloomed in
< ary Brook s cheek, and she came
out into the road.
" Then 1 must shake hands with
, you. she said. "I love every man
in the 101st Mississippi?”
"Aii! said the soldier wit h a quick
. perception ot the facts of the ct h*.
i so much the better for the 101st
Mississippi!”
"And I'm sorrier than ever not to
have a breakfast for von,” cried the
I girl.
"li you would give me your roses,”
he said, with a gallant grace, ‘-I
! should not miss the breakfast.”
She unfastened them quickly, both
clusters saying archly, -With one
! condition—that when you reach the
regiment, you will take them to Gol.
Bird with my compliments.”
“On my honor as a rebel,” replied
the soldier again bowing low, and
carrying off Cary’s bright flowers.
"Now, 1 call that a skillful dodge,”
be chuckled, as he hastened after the
troops. “It will not be perjury to
break an oath -worn on a non est,
rend . l.ouct %•> , o i
may keep ti e roses and a clean con
science. May the kind fates give me
a chance to tell that pretty rebel
some day that she gave her roses to i
a Yankee spy.” j
The next two weeks witnessed
many a rapid march and counter
march. and Lauderdale held its
breath while the dust of its streets
blew first upon gray coats and then
upon blue. Meantime oai| ravisher
of the roses had gotten fely back
to his own placfc and his own coat,
and early in July entered the little
mountain town with Hunter’s army.
Ihe gala look it had worn two weeks
before was gone, and a sullen expres
sion marked the coun n nee. No
women were to be sec: . boys were
kept caret ally in door by anxious
mothers, and men had : sudden ac
cess ot feebleness, leaning on canes
nd halting in their gait, in a way
that was very comical to one who re
membered their alertness two weeks
before.
Iwo hours after his arrival our
quondam Mississippi man rang Mrs.
Brook > door bell, and was answered
by that matron herselt. with an air
of dignified defiance. After a great
ueal ol trouble in persuading lier to
allow him to see her daughter for a
moment onl\. anil in he; presence.
Cary was summoned. Again the sol
dicr bowed low before her, this time
removing a blue ca-p instead of the
olu slouch, and returned her wither
ed but carefully preserved roses.
I leave to restore unlawful
gains, he said ;"1 did not! reach the
101 st Mississippi, but I have never
doubted that it has the ablest com
mander in Abe Confederate array—
and the mo? t fortunate!” V, hereupon
the soldier showed that he had prac
ticed retreating.
There came a time w%n it was
Colonel Bird's luck'to reach Lauder
dale with his Mississippi regiment.
The i .reville roses had faded, and
Cary could only find October leaves
with which to crown her radiance.
Color ml Bird was more than satisfied
with the result; he claimed a kiss
for every smile or favor given to
others during his long absence, and
thus brought out the story of the Gie
vi He roses and the so-called Missis
sippi soldier.
"But there is one comfort, Ed
found,” said pretty Cary, tired of her
'lover's uproarous laughter. “I didn't
give the rascal any brestfast!”

FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORRTNG, MARCH 6, 1883.
A Fine InMi utinii
The increased interest in the study
of astronomy that has taken place
within the past few years is simply
wonderful. Formerly only protes
sional astronomers studied the heav
ens; now telescopes of every size and
description may be seen pointing
from the roofs of houses and private
observatories. Asa consequence
more discoveries have been made
during the period specified than ever
before in the same length of time.
This result is due to several causes,
as will be shown hereafter. Among
the number of discoveries made by
independent workers, may be noted
the following: Mr. Burnham, ofOhi
cago, with only a six-inch telescope,
has discovered over one thousand
double stars wholly new to science.
Mr. Barnard, of Nashville. Tenu„
with a five inch instrument, has dis
covered two comets, both within the
past year Prof. Sehaerborle, of Ann
Arbor; Mr. Brooks, of Phelps, N. Y..
and Mr. Wells, of Albany, have all
made cometary discoveries of an im
portant nature. Professor Swift, of
Rochester, has discovered two intra
mercurial planets, several new neb
ube, and seven comets, for which he
has been awarded three German
medals and the LeLande prize of the
French Academy of Sciences. Pro
fessor Hall, of Washington, is the dis
coverer of both of the moons of Mars,
and Professor Bond of the eighth sat
ellite and transparent ring of Saturn.
Of course, many fine private ob
servatories have been erected recent
ly in various parts ot America, among
the number being Professor Draper’s,
at Hastings, X. \ Professor Morri
son s, at Glasgow. Mo., and Professor
Rutherford’s, New York. By far the
finest piivate institution of the kind
in the world, however, is the Warner
Observatory, at Rochester, N. Y., of
which the above illustration repre
sents the new and large refracting
telescope. This instrument is more
than twenty two feet in length, is
composed of sheet steel and brass, is
driven by clock-work to exactly equal
the earth's axial motion, and mount
ed in the most modern and improved
style. It is capable of magnifying
2,500 diameters, thus bringing the
moon within ninety miles of the earth
The entire cost of the telescope and
the observatory in which it is mount
ed exceeds SIOO,OOO. The Warner
Observatory was erected from the
j private purse of Mr. H. H. Warner,
proprietor of the Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure and other remedies, who
lias also endowed and furnished it
most liberally. In addition thereto
lie has paid out several thousand dol
lars in prizes for the discovery of
comets and meteors, which has doubt
less greatly stimulated the discover
ies to wtiich reference has been made.
There can be bul little doubt that
V * dca will take the lead in astro- :
ical TTTscovin-ies over an 'Til nor
la’ as she has already done in j
many other fields. And when it is j
remembered how beneficial an effect
the study of the heavenly bodies and
the countless realms of space has
upon the human rnihd it is certainly
cause for great thankfulness that
such is the case. / 9 3

More than by want of heart
Hoiuopiin Religion.
[From the Christian Union j
Bear in mini] that, whatever the tvork is
you have to do, that work is given you by
God. Are you a shopman ? Well, behind
your counter sell your goods, ami ,4 o your
work an if it were God’s work. Av} you
a lawtyer? Well, work on in love to the
great Law-giver, defend the right and de
feat the wrong, remembering that your
calling is divine. Are you a laborer? a
plow man ? a weaver ? Well, steadily use
youi shovel, merrily drive your horses to
the field, cheerily make your shuttle fly til!
thr pattern stands out before you in the ,
web, remembering that you are engaged m
a heaven-appointed task You have a
Master in heaven- If it were so, would not
all trickery disappear from trade, all quirks
and quibbles from the law, all eye service,
all unfaithfulness, all discontent from the
ranks of the laboring population ! Depend
upon it, we in general take too low a view
of our calling. We look upon our labor as
mere drudgery; well, it may be so, but it is
a divine drudgery. While we work we are
doing good, and everything that is good is
God-Jikc. Such a conception as this enno
bles the meanest toil, and raises the poor
est mechanic, the humblest tiller of thesoil
into a servant of Almighty God.
I am afraid that some men—even good
men—are discomented with their loi, and
fancy that they are piously and properly
discontented. They think they could do -
God’s work better if their lot had been dif
ferent. They think, perhaps, that an
occupation so menial as theirs cannot pos
sibly be the work of God. How can the
loom, they may say, be connected with re
ligion? How can a man by breaking stones
on the roadside be promoting the glory of
God? The poor uian wishes he were rich,
just that he might employ his wealth in the
promotion of piety. My dear friend, let
me ask you: If liberality be the virtue of
wealth, are there no virtues peculiar to
poverty r And were it not better for you
to cultivate the virtue of the station which
God has assigned to you, than vainly to
pine after another station, which never can
be yours? The pious Lyman, perhaps,
laments that his lips are sealed in silence,
and that he cannot, as from the house-top
proclaim the praises of God; and accord
ingly he wishes he were a missionary, that
he might publish to darkened idolaters the
g’ad tidings of salvation; or, at least, that
he were a minis'er of the gospel, that from
the pulpit he might fulminate the thunders
of Sinai, or speak in the softly persuasive
whispers that come from Cavalry. My
good friend, you err, not knowing the gos
pel. Your work is as divinely appointed
as mine; and your duty to do it; to do it re
ligiously ami well. I know that some peo
ple foolishly think that clergymen alone
are the servants of God; that their calling
alone is divine ; that they only, and such as
;>r. if God. My
friend-. I tel you that I believe ‘hat many
a poorartiz m vl, industriously ana un
crumbiiugiy !e n,~ trade, that be may
honestly support ,1 wife and family, or that
be mv keep an >ged parent from the par
ish, is /wore >k-' hal.y promoting God's
glory than many % pompous preacher of

busy fingers of <- .n*. which is not to be
found in all to ! * rb*st of the other: and
no man of t ; k J an calculate the in
fluence for goodn ss and for God which he
may exercise on - -L y.
1 know nothing which has exercised a
more pernicious icl-lu ace on religion than
thut unhappy Ji-.-yv which has been af
fected between A us duty and the ev
ery-day duties ot i e. When a mother is
faithfully ten ling *er children, and mak
ing her hearthstone c% m and Her fire burn
bright, that ev ryGi may smile a wel
come to her wiT- husband when here
turns from his it is never dreampt
that she is tv gl usly employed. When
a man works 1 n iimug the day, and ie
turns home in lb Fev (ting to make them
all happy by temper and quiet
jokes and dandlicM on his knee, the world
does not think—pij.iaps he does not think
himself—that tiiiff' is religion iu so com.
men a thing as thi Religion is supposed
to st; nd aloof fnVi such familiar scenes.
But to attend tU hnrch, to take the sac
rament to sing :• i*!m, to say a prayer, is
religion. Now F,>d help this poor sinful
world if religion consists only in these
things and not s!V in the other. We have

|From the iiristian I’niond
A tired mother, via nad been occupied
all day with an t -live and very trouble
some boy, as she it down in the evening
and thought of tin numberless details into
which her strengtl had gone, said: “After
all, it is a day towar i the making of a man.”
There was a work- of truth in this brief
and pointed summing ip of a day’s work.
Nothing is so hureftn ercome as the il
lusion of time ant. di ice; thousands of
lives wasted be u e iney are never freed
from it, and thousand of other and faith
ful fives are saddened because they, too,
a- under its spell. The woman tinder the
pressure of d.-.iiy fnd nightly cures who
feels no inspiratio from them, but contin

cret of the deepest living, and is thirsting
with the water of life flowing freshly about
her. The man who chafes under his pres
ent burden, and sebrns his place ami work
as small and mean compared with the thiDg
he would do, is every day widening the
breach between his ideal and his possible
achievement. The masters of life—women
of rich, ample nature, ripening in all
strengths and graces with the years, men
full of simple, teachable spirit, gathering
sweetness and power as they advance
have teamed to reverance the present mo- i
rneut and the present duty, and are con i
vinced to the very bottom of their souls j
that the only road to great achievements
lies through the faithful doing of the
thing that lies next them. .There is no mag ■
ic or enchantment in life, no luck or for
tunc in its final possessions; it is simple se
qence of cause and effect, simple and unde
viating working out of the law that what
soever a man soweth that shail he r-ap.
lie cannot plan a great career, and hew his
opportunities into its solid structure, ex
cept by striking with full force the blow
that the present moment makes room for
Men and women who are full of this spirit
expand their lives by sheer force of faith
ful living, and are able, by and by, to look
back and see their little duties rounding in
to grand completeness, their little opportu
nities widening out into the highest possibil
ities. Every great work grows out of end
less ami toilsome details. The historian is
years in the dim seclusion of libraries be
fore he gives the world anew chapter in
its life; the great orator works far inio
the sleepless nights before he stands on the j
platform with his fingers on the keys of !
human passion and sentiment; the writer
denies himself even rational pleasures !
through laborious years that he may enrich !
his thought by contact with the world’s !
thought and put the eloquence of simplici
ty into his style. Grappling with small
difficuUkfs- is tiie only training which fits
one for dealing with great problems; faith
ful performance of small duties the only
preparation for grand services; patience, fi- j
delay, steadtastness to-day the only seed
that will make to-morrow golden with bar
vests of fame or usefulness. The boy who
is to-day doing his “chores” well and cheer
fully is iu training for the cares of empire;
the mother who is today giving strength,
time, and wealth of affectiou to her chil
dren in tue seclusion of her home is mak
ing the whole world richer by her obscure
ministry, is very possibly shaping the char
acters that are to shape the destiny of the j
age, and is surely building in the oniv ma- !
terial which defies decay, survives death,
and ceclares its architecture in the fadeless
light of eternity. After all has been said
about the work of the artist, the poet, anil
the thinker, it is the mother who stands
nearest God in creative power-

11 y drop hobs a.
It is a common belief in Texas that hy
drophobia originates in dogs and other an
imals from the bite of the skunk. The fact
that the dog oftenest comes in contact with
that anitr-al is given as the reason why hy
drophobia was affecting dogs. In this con
nection the Seymour Crescent says: “Last
Thursday night a w eek ago a polecat bit
two dogs belonging to Thomas BraiJfoot
a farmer living about four miles southwest
J f _ Seymour. Mr. Braidfoot hearing the
noise got up and killed the cat. One of the
dogs died the third day, and the other about
sixteen hours after with hydrophobia.”

\ Temperance story
BY JOSEPH CADWALLADE R,
Written expressly for the boys and girls who read
the Monroe i dvertiser.
CHAPTER I
“Our Carrie is twelve years old ti - lay,*'
said Mrs Jenkins to her husbaud as they
sat at breakfast one morning in September
in the year 1850. “I have allowed her to
invite some of her young friends to a tea
party in our grove this evening in honor of
the occasion. •
“I have left,” continued Mrs Jenkins,
“as nearly as possible the entire planning
for the occasion to Carrie herself; and I
have been watching with a mother’s inter
est the progress of her plans, and the suc
cess or failure with which she executes
them.
“There is one thing, however.” said Mrs-
J , “about which Carrie is in doubt, and
she insists that her parents decide the ques
tion for her; and that is, whether wine
shall constitute any part of the festival.
Our ihcision can be deferred no longer.
What do you say, my dear ?”
“Tiie dear little puss,” said her father :
“there isn’t another child of her age in
Ohio who would have hesitated about the
propriety of wine. O, certainly, certainly;
let them have it—it, will send their young
blood coursing more gaily ami swiftly
through their veins: it will give more rose
to the cheek, more flash to the eye, more
glee to the brain. 1 will have the decanter
filled at the ‘Black Bear’ Hotel, and bring
it round at dinner.”
Was Mr. Jenkins an intemperate man ?
Indeed he was not; ®n the other hand, be
was one of a few gentlemen and ladies
who had banded themselves together in the
town of Hiirrisville for the promotion of
temperance. They had signed a pledge
“to abstain from the intemperate use of
alcoholic beverages,” and so far as the
knowledge of the writer of this story goes,
Mr. Jenkins faithfully kept it. But tem
perance pledges are made of stronger lan
guage now than thirty years ago. Instead
of agreeing to abstain from the intemperate
use of strong drink we agree to total absti
nence from all that iutoxicates.
CHAPTER 11.
Three of Carrie’s young lady friends —
Sally Gordon, Moliie Taylor and Jennie
Wilson—had come to assist Carrie iu the
arrangement of the tables, etc. She had
also invited Oscar Williams and Willie
Newhouse, as young gentlemen assistants.
Mamma had given Carrie permission to use
all the tables about the house for the occa
sion. These tables Masters Williams and
Newhouse had gallantly borne to the grove
and then with the high-spirited nobleness
of young knights, politely offered their
further service to Carrie and her young ;
lady friends.
Tea was to be served according to pre
vious notice at 5 o’clock. Half-past four
nad already come and the lads and lasses
were beginning to arrive. “Hello cTed
.J'.be-e xoigLs qnr aid
to wn,” and she Called out half-dnzwi .. os'
of boy and girl youngsters, who w rej-Ust
entering the grove; and so they continued ;
to come until neaily all who had received j
“a card” were on the ground.
CHAPTER 111.
The young leaders of the Advertiser who
have anticipated ' for weeks beforehand a
Sunday-school picnic or a promised visit
to a young friend can undersiand with
what eager interest Carrie Jenkins Party
was looked forward to by the invited guests
What buoyant animation of spirit that
counted not only the days but the very
hours that intervened between them anil
the grand time we’re going to have with
Carrie. Twenty-eight in all had been in
vited, but poor Johnnie Boswell had been
"laid up” with an “awful stone bruise”'on
his heel, and so couldn’t come. Carrie of
course must take the head of the table, and
was by unanimous vote crowned ‘ Queen.’
A wreath composed of twelve roses—each
rose representing a year of Carrie’s young
life—bedecked her brow- Precisely at 5
o’clock for Carrie had been taught
promptness from infancy—mamma’s two
large China tea pots, brimful of new-made
tea, had been curried from the kitchen to
the glove, as the finishing touch to readi
ness for Carrie to announce by the tingle
of her bell that all should be seated at the
table. There was no minister present to
“ask a blessing,” but the writer of this
story confidently believes that many a lit
tle heart around that table was thankful,
when their keen sense of the good and
beautiful display oi snow flake bread, or
ange colored butter, sugar-crested cake and
other delicacies, including honey iu comb
—just such honey as Harrison county bees
could make—such delicious honey as could
be produced from Ohio white clover. Car
rie poured the tea and cream anil helped
the sugar. She was the centre of attrac

“She’s :i real queen,” said Jennie Wiison.
“If she isn’t she ought to be.” answered
Oscar Williams.
“Maybe sometime she’d be j our queen,
Oscar,” answereu Jennie.
“And why not?” retorted Oscar, as his
fourteen-year-old blood came galloping up
from his heart to his cheek.
The supper proved to be all and more
than youthful anticipation had planned it.
Everyone was cheery, sprightly. Each
added to and received from the fullness of
child enjoyment. Tney ate and drank and
talked and tittered and looked and laughed,
were pleased and profited during the whole
hour at table.

be cheaply piomoto-l by following them-
in city and country Malarial
levers. Malaria is simply had air, from
malvs and cur. But where does all this
mahts <wr, this poisonous, bad air. come
from? In fifteen cases out of twenty it
originates in the noxious water-closets Kx
crementitious matter is permitted to re
main through the spring and summer days
with the thermometer t mining from seven
enty to a hundred. The result of rnal
odor, stenehfulness, sickening effluvia, in
tolerable malaria What does the late dis
covery of science say or. this discussion ?
It w’s the water closet is the prolific
source of many forms of disease- cholera
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and possibly four
filths of the annua) diseases that visit our
people, arise from these shameful!} - teg
lected and revolting receptacles.
These necessary resorts ought to be as neat
and comfortable as any room in the resi
dence, and as free from “malaria,” and all
offensive smells. They ought to be ob
structed so ns to he readily accessible in ail
weather and at ail seasons, night and day.
Ihe neglect of these requisites has done
more to undermine the health of the
women of this •commonwealth than any
other ten causes known to the Medical
Faculty. Think of delicate little children
going through muddy walks and wet crass
to a loathsome, malarious den of stench,
enough to stifle an aligator, and the evil
allowed to remain from day to day, with
the mercury at 90—yes, from month to
month, and from year to year. No wonder
there are endless doctor’s bills, low spirits,
head troubles, and sick children. This is
a frightful source of disease, depression,
anafcdeath.
We cannot touch upon some of the most
fearful features of this vital question in
this brief series of hints; but must close by
replying to the awakened iuquiiv, What
shall we do to abate the nuisance :
1. Pull down your narrow, naked, mis
erable “out-house,’’ and put up anew one
—in a better place, if need be. Don’t make
it so small that a person can hardly turn
round in it, or so low that lie can’t stand
up. Let light into it otherwise than
through the door. Six fiet by ten is a good
size for this “out-bouse.” Encourage vines
to shade and veil it. Evergreen shrubbery,
also.
3 Let ii be so that no rain, wind, dogs,
darkness, or other impediment shall lay
one moment’s restraint upon any person,
young or old, feeble and failing, visitor or
resident, from getting to it at will, and by
all means arrange for a separate place for
the sexts, if possible. Eel*er far such *o

3. Have no pit, or sink, dug in the
ground. What you now want is dust, dust,
and nothing but dust. You need no drug,
no chemical mixture, no deodorizer from
the laboratory Dust, and only dust; not
sand, but dust. Use it freely. Every day
a little taken from a box convenient; and
every week or two, as common sense sug
gests, pour down one, two, and three buck
etfuls of dust —and a fly can't tell your ica
tcr-dosel from your parlor —all alike pure
and free from odor. At proper times r<-
move and purify, and dust afresh, and you
will never cease to be thankful that your
eye fell on this article; and, besides, the
health of your family will become so in
proved that you will wonder you had not
the good sense to have attended t<> the n.a'-
ter years ago. Meantime, den’t lose a day
in abating the horrid vapors and living
bacte'M (an alarming cause < f sickness.) b} r
pouring down all the fresh dust the case
may require—a no let a word to the wise
be sufficient
11. To THOSE WHO HAVE THEM NOT:
Savages may believe it but can civilized p < -
pie realize tuefact now to be staled ? There
are houses in our laud, large and well fi
nished, that have no “out-house” attached!
Every provision is made for sleeping and
stuffing a visitor. Horses have their stable,
and cows their shed, and hogs their stye,
and chickens their roost, but . What
shall we say ? Language fails, it is said
of Gen. Winfield Scott that whenever a
visitor entered his mansion oi his marquee
—at home or on tented field—among the
first acts of his hospitality was to show
him the cloaca! arrangements of the place.

Churches. One may see everything that
one needs at most meeting-houses but the
“oat-house.” Women and chiHr'-n go
there Sundays, starting at!) or 10 o’clock
