I THE GRANDEST NEWSPAPER PREMIUM LIST EVER OFFERED IN AMERICA - ■ P0r~1874. Desirous of erecting anew and larger edi fice on another street, the'proprietors of the Constitution offer its subscribers the following unparalleled list of presents. The Constitu tion is already the acknowledged foremost journal in all this section of the South. The great eight-paged Sunday paper will be con tinued, and also our pictorial illustrations that have-become so popular everywhere,end especially in the homes of pur weekly sub scribers. We present from tftnc to tluib arti cles from the corresponding editor of ths Constitution, Hon A H Stephens. Asa. Po litical, literary, Family Newspaper, the-At lanta Constitution shall be second to none. Plan—Every subscriber who sends us $lO. subscription money for 1874, will be sent, in addition to his subscription receipt, a 'gift card, for which he will reoeive at the grand distribution one of the presents in the fol lowing MAGNIFICENT list. 1-4 interest in Constitution building, $3,750, or $2,500 in gold. 1-8 interest in building, $1,876, or $1,250 in gold. 1-16 interest in building, $937 60, or $625 in gold 1-16 interest in building, $937 50, or .$625 in gold. r 1 Piano... ‘ ‘.5600 1, City Lot it ... 100 1 City Lot , 100 4 Sewiiig Machines 350 2 China sets, i. 50 100 Ctnomos, Engrav’gs amt photos.... 250 100 pack’s songs and instr’l music...... 100 lPhuio 600 Or a fine young Horse 300 f 1 Gold Watch. .. 150 1 Diamond Engagement Ring.j.loo 1 Marble-top Furniture set 100 Or a glass bookcase and other fiimft’e 100 1 smalt Iron Safe 60. 100 copies Illustrated Works 250 1 Two-bor e Wagon 126 2 fine Paintings (gilt frame) 50 100 copies beautifully hound Novels, vol- w,., iirnea of Puetry, literary and jaion tific works 250 4,600 other Presents, consisting of Nov elettes, Packages of Stationery, Lit erary Gems, etc, aggregate amount ing to some $12,000 We make two express stipulations—fust, we reserve the right to pay the cash in lieu of the first twelve presents; second, we can require our Trustees, hereafter named, to scale, if noce-fnry, the prizes to the number of cards dmpost-d of. but in any event to re tain one of the building prizes for distribution. Plan of Distbibution — To represent the numbered cards issued to subscribers, 6,000 cards, each marked with the name of a pres ent, and including all in the above list, will be thrown together and thoroughly mingled. Vrom the receptacle of these < ar®. into Which only a hand can' Vie passed, jfne card ‘an other wfil hfe drawn eW nunftmd in the onler drawn—l, 2,3, etc. For instance, that subscriber having the card numbered 6, is entitled to the present upon the sixth card drawn. As the entire transaction will be in public, the cards are only numbered as drawn out; and as all the cards will be drawn, ev erything must be perfectly fair, and rome of our subscihers must become the owners of a half interest in the building, valued at $7,600, and the other leading’ presents, valued at from SIOO to S4OO each, including two city lots, will be held by other subscribers. Observe —The presents will tie distributed in public, in presence of Mayor Hammock, Gen. Austell, Pres't Atlanta National Bank, Judge S B Hoyt, Cashier Georgia Railroad Brnk, Judge C H Strong, Col GW Adair, President Georgia Western Railroad, Col J R Wallace, and others. - Less than 30 days now remain for the oper ation of this grand scheme j-therefore all who would seize this splendid opportunity must do so within 80 days. Weekly subscribers have an equal chance of participation by forming clubs of five, to whom five annual receipts wilt be sent and one card for $lO subscription. Send money direct by Post-office order, ■Registered Letter, or Express. >i We call special attention to this fact to avoid any dissatisfaction: Only 6,000 cards will be issued. We shall positively refuse to increase the number, which is less than the number of old subscribers. As all new sub scribers are entitled to share in the distribu tion, it will be seen that it is necessary to re mit at once, or the limited number of cards may be disposed os, and the chance missed. To the friends and Patrons of the Constitution. Through the darkest hours of Georgia’s history the Constitution stood fearlessly by you and your rights, against prescription, persecution, and even heavy libel suits by jrate Radical Governors, In spite of such op position the Constitution has grown to a pros perity unsurpassed in the South. We now propose to show our appreciation of the peo ple's’ support by a grand distribution of pres ents. Mark you, it is no lottery; you do not give one cent more than your subscription, and you do only what subscribers should al ways do—pay in advance. The percentage of loss thus saved by us, and in expense, of collecting, enables ns to return it to the sub scribers in presents, and realize profit besides. Now we'appeal to your gratitude and gen erosity, and if you bear that appeal, as you will, we shall erect a building capable or ac commodating our increased business, and which shall stand as a memoral monument to the noble liberality of the subscribers of the Atlanta Constitution—their Christmas pres ent. Wlocintot pay the small sum of nc year’s subscription in advance? Steely eve ry subscriber will do so; and some will re ceive the grand presents of $7,500. For further particulars see circulars. Beni your orders at once. Agents can write us for terms. Address W. A. HEMPHILL & Cos., Atlanta, Qa. on hand, and any style furnished to order.

NEWMAN’B BAR and RESTAURANT, No. 58 Bboad Street, COLUMBUS , GA. Tobacco, pipes, cigars and eating saloon- A LOOK UNDER THE BED. It Is a habit of. nvtny persons to take a look under tit# Led before re tiring for the night. Mrs. Everghefen, ray beloved' wife, indulges, if* indul gence it cau b#' called, ia this pecu liar practice. I have often remarked to Mrs. Evergreen, when I have seen hsr prying under the bed, that it Was a silly habit, and that the sooner she gave it up the better. To this gen tle admonition my better half, invari ably rejoins: “La, Evergreen, what harta does it do ? It is a kind of a satisfaction to know that nobody is under there, and then I pf sueh a bar rible thing atlera*ra in bed.” “I think, my dear, yon might Just as well pursue your investigation fur ther, aud look in the bureau drawers and the clothes-basket.” “ Evergreen,” she wiU rejoin, “don’t mention the idea, or I shall certainly do so. Come to think of it, a mao could easily get into the clothes-basket.” “Certainly he could, my dear, quite as easy as Fatstaff. You should certainly include the clothes-basket, and, by-the-by, there's the chimney— why not look up that as well ? ” “ Now, Evergreen, you’re laughing at me. But I cmi't leave off the habit, and 1 nevpr will. It’s a com fort for me to kaow that there’s noth'; ing wrong about it) and I don’t see why you 'should deprive me of it.” ' So under the bed goes the candle, and no designs of; humanity being discovered, Mrs. Evergreen is able to repose in peace. If it were not for increasing this mental idiosyncricy on the part of Mrs. Evergreen, by giving her some good reason to apprehend danger, I should relate to her what I am abont to lay before the l eader. In this nar ration, therefore, I ask the public to bear in mind that Mrs. Evergreen is slightly superstitious, and that what I have to say must, under no circum stances, be imparted to that lady. If for two-an'Lajpenty years (Shat is the period happy years have they been)—if, I say, I have for this long period refrained imparting the matter to the beloved sharer of my joys and partaker of ray sorrows, surely the public will keep the secret. I was hot bad looking when I was in my twenties. I think I may go further and say that Gus Evergreen wrs a ‘decided favorite among the girls in Oakville, and I believe I coujd have had any of them for the asking. As I before, remarked, Mrs. Ever green is not present, and I indulge in my thoughts somewhat more freely than would otherwise be the case. Fred Evans, who had been my chum at school, came to pay me a visit at Oakville, for a day or two, as he ; said whed be came, but he made it a week or two easily enough after I’d taken him a little, Aniong the la dies. When that time had expired, Fred said he must go, as he didn’t know what his father and mother wotild think of his long absence; but ended in relieving their anxiety by a letter, and sending for his trunks. I knew how the matter was, perfectly well, and that Belle Bronson bad be witched him out of his senses. Fred tried to put it bn the “ country air and the quiet which was benefitting his health,” etc., but it was no use trying to deceive me, and I told him so. Then he o wned ug frankly, and I promised to help him as much as I could, if be reqtftfed any help in the prosecution of his suit. She had a larger share of beaux .than the other girls, but all their at tention came to nothing. I feared it might be to with Evans, and warned him accordingly; but Fred said that “ without her, life was naught to him.” Things went on this way without any definite result, until Fred received a sadden summons home on account of bis mother’s illness. When he came back to renew his visit he in sisted upon staying at the Oakville -Hotel, rather than wear out hia wel come at our houae, and finding re monstrance unavailing, there lie went. The landlord gave Fred, at my sug gestion, bis best bedroom—No. 20. I am particular in mentioning the num ber. “He shall have No. 20. "Agy friend of youra, Master Augus tus, (hall have the beat room I have to give as long aa I’m landlord.” Belle Bronson, because of the aud den arrival at her hohse of aome country cousins, was obliged to give np her room—her mother’s cottage' being a small one—and to occupy for a single night a room at the bo- tel. T have ; offered her guests accommodation a’tj pur house,- biit we were jp a eiufllar predicament An agricultural fair had brought many strangers into the place, and our own guests wpre so numerous that I had given up my room to two of them, and had intended asking Fred Evans to let me pass the night with him.’ * - • ■ For this purpose I went to the ho tel at a fate bopr, t *nd proceeded at once to Fred’s room, but to my. sur prise found no one there. I did not even notice that his trunk was gone, or suspect the fact which afterwards became .apparent, that, “to oblige somMMjy only,” as the landtora expressed it, Fred consented to give up “ Np. 20” and occupy a small room in the rear of the building. The gas being turned on, I took a book to wait bis return, and hearing at last what appeared to be steps approaching the room, *nd suspecting it to be Fred, in a momen tary impulse to play a joke upon him I slipped under the bed, a large and high one, Intending to imitate a cat as soon as he entered the room. The door opened pud I was oa th# point q£ indulging in my ventriloqitial faculty by giving along drawn meow, when, from my hiding place* I beheld' Belle Bronsoti take possession of the apartment. My astonishment was bo great, and the sense of mortification so in tense, that I did not, as I should have done, make myself immediately, known to her. Thus the opportunity for discovery and expkmtion was lost. I Jared hot move' a hair, but hoped sincerely that some excuse might take her out of the room for a moment, and so facilitate my escape. She, however, locked the door, re moved the key, and I knew by the sound, prepared to retire. Finally, she kneeled down beside the bed, and clasped her hands, and bowing her head (so fearfully noar to mine that I could hear the soft words in my ear), she offered 1 up her evening prayer in s manttar-ful o#*ft*dmg uTid with snern sweet' accent* of womanly tenderness and devotion, that I felt as if she wa* an angel betiding over the vilest of mortals. That prayor went to my heart; but one portion of it went through it, and held it captive. Mover shall I forget my feeling of surprise add my emo tions when I heard her utter these Words: “Bless my dear mother, sisters and friends; bless all around me, and O God ! bless him 1 love, Augustus Evergreen, and shower down Thy mercies’over him. If I breathed short before, after this my breath seemed td desert me entirely, and I verily thought that the beating of my heart would betray me. Belle, pure as no angel to tbb then,'and white as a snow-flake, pro ceeded to turn off the gas and get in to the bed. What thoughts rushed through tny brain ! AJiove me lay a young and unsophisticated girl,whol ly unconscious that the one she loved lay so close to her, and who had fbr the first time been mad* aware of her interest in him by* hearing words which she supposed only went to Heaven. ' .7/ .7/ wtewlt *•■■■* Belle had lain piirfeotly motionless for several minutes, and was, I flat tered myself, losing herself lii sleep, when suddenly she exclaimed, “There, I haven’t looked under the bed!” A horror ran through* mo—all Is lost! What shall I do ? * Belle rose; I heard her feeling fbFthe nfatchcs, and; try 'to light one after the other, as they failed to Ignite; then an “Q, dear, therearp no morel” whispered my soul to me. Belle groped back y> the bed, hat did not immediately get Id ; she stooped and lifted the curtains which hung around the bottom, cau tiously passing her arm arpunjl as far as it oould reach. I almost felt her fingers graze my face, gs I held myself fearfully and silently back against the wall, tpo far, just top fir for her to reach. Apparently satis fied that, no danger was near her, she lay down In her bed agam> and I counted her* respirations till .she was lost in slumber, * As for myself, sleep was utterly out of the question. I never was so wide awake in my life, itow I lay upon that hard, carpal and thought the night out—thought of ;br and her love for me—thought Wf myself and my love for her. 1 .. With the morning light fresh fears came upon me, lest my unconscious room-mate might yet peer beneath the bed for robbers before she left the room; but my fears were ground- ess. She ruse and dressed expedi tiously, for ahe was to join her cousins at ah early breakfast, and she had overslept herself, .When at last she took the key; unlocked the door and departed, I lest no time in slipping out'pf ihy shameful place, of couceal morit and escaping from the hotel. Qn the stairs I met Fred coming out of hi* room, who exclaimed: “ Why, what’s the matter with you, old fellow ? You look like the last days of an ill-spent-life. And your ooat, too—why, it’s all feathers and dust. Whore hara yon been “ I slept—slept out last night, ; all. jOur house is full, and so 1 had to find quarters else where. f am last goings Uouw to dress.” “I should say so, decidedly.

I should say It was a goose^, I]. 1 ]. ; w ,u v/bi .-nfl i “ You’re, the goose, Fred. But seriously, I’ve a word to say to you of a most important nature. Bea mail, Fred, and make up your mind to bear something excessively dlsa* greeable. It mußt be talked to you sooner or later, and I may as well tellit !”' '’f ' u “ Good heavens, Gus! bow earnest ly you look at me. Yen don’t mean to say that—that anything has hap pened to BeHe Brdnson ?” ‘ 1 *;‘ I ] “ Don’t mention her name again, Fred, or think of her any more, for she’ll never b© .anything to you. I have it from one who knows all about it, thht she has been attached to somebody else, aud that somebody els# means to marry her. There’s no mistake about it, so bear up and ■ try your lubk elsewhere.” ' But Fred Evans Was not to be dis couraged by mere hearsay. That very day be went to,see Belle, deter- mined to know his fate from her own lips. Soon after he left Oakville, and I did not see him again for sev eral, year*, when, meeting him in town one: day, I insisted on bringing him home with me, and presenting him to his Old flame, Bello Bronson — the present Mrs. Evergreen. , . ‘VAh, Fred,” said he after dinner, when my wife and the little Ever green* bad left Us to ourselves—“ ah, Fred, you served me a' shabby trick when you allowed 5 me to lose my heart to the girl you were all along iDtendjng to marry yourself—a very shabby trick—one of which I never suspected 5 you l’ J % . ,$a.X bad l tq, tail him (in strict con fidence, of course, as I tell yon, read er) all about the bedroom affair fit the Oakville Hotel, and the love that grow out Baby in a Cabbage Barhxl,—A gentleman who was in the George, town market this morning reports that a lady purchased fi barrel Of large sized cabbages from, as she auppoaetl, a market woman, but ibat upon examining its contents after fit had readied her borne, she found a live bby baby in it; well dressed, with a 1 mdik bottle in its mouth, and ao .protected by the manner in which, the cabbages had been arranged as* to prevent its suffocation.

Frequently, in cases of sickness, a person will find it Impossible to ob-. tain rest if the head is in any other direction, and often a cure is retarded for a long iirae.
