BOWDO3S COLLEGE.
This Institution, now rapidly growing in
popular favor, was font dec! in 18*56 and char
tered in 1857, f« r ihe purpose of placing a Col
legiate Education within the reach of the in
dustrious Farmer and Mechanic, as well as
those more highly favored. To this end all ex
penses of dress, style of living, tu tion, and
board, have been reduced to the lowest practi
cable rates. All superfluities and luxuries are
discouraged, and a youug man is estimated by
his ability, application and moral character,
rather than the on/ and cost ot his coat. With
a course of study, inferior to none, and a *tan
1a and of scholarship not below the highest, we
offer an education to the struggling youth of
the Country at less than HALF the COST at
other Colleges of the same grade.
BOWDON COLLEGE
Is the tool of no Political faction, nor Religious
sect. No Student nor Citizen is proscribed for
political or religious opinions. Wc inculcate
the Christians Religion, not dogmas; patriotism
not office-seeking.
BOWDON COLLEGE
Is free from that most fa al temptation to young
men, the retail of spirituous liquors. The in
corporation laws forbid it under a heavy pen
alty; and the Mayor and Council have fu I
powe;S to suppress disorder, remove nuisance,
and to promote the general good over a teri
tory of two miles in length and one and a half
miles in width. We iuvite all Citizens in search
of a location remarkable lor good health, pure
Water, good society, wholesome laws, educa
tional facilities aud NO WHISKEY, to settle
among us.
BOWDON COLLEGE
Affords snperior advantages to the honest Yeo
manry of Georgia. Observation proves that
great men spring from the rural districts,
There, true genius grows in its native forests,
nncorrupted by the cunning and craft, the
greed and luxury of City life. It is to this
class of students that our Institution is pecu
liarly adapted, while its simplicity, common
sense, and good taste, can but correct many
evils of a more artificial life.
Classes in BOOK KEEPING are organized
for the benefit of those who d-sire to prepare
for business; and in Arithmetic, English
Grammar and Geography, for those not fully
prepared to enter upon the College Course.
PRIZE SCHOLARSHIP.
A Scholarship for four years, will be awar

women to pos ess.
To those who know them inti>

As they come m know them well

they find in iheir society that aides'
cribab'e charm that makes them ut
terly oblivious of their want of
physical beau y. The plain face
hecom- s transfigured by the loveli

kindness of heart they have found
hidden from ,-ight beneath a plain
exterior.

A Justifiable Divurce.
A CURIOUS CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM,
Max Adelor, the inimitable hu
morist, acts oil'tLe following, which
our readers will agree wiih us was
good grounds on the part of a wife
for an application for a divorce a vin
cula matrimoni:
We are not surprised when Mrs.
Hotchkiss demanded a divorce. Mrs.
Hotchkiss was a somnambulist, and
after getiing to sleep at night she
would rise and grope her way down
stairs to the k tchen. Tin n she
would do the whole of the weeks,
washing, and after hanging the
clothes upon the line come hack to
bed.
The next night she would do the
ironing, an I liie next the sweeping,
and s> forth. And always when she
came down in the morning she
w odd he astonis'-ed to find the work
finishel, and sLo always insisted
that Hotchkiss had done it for her
while she was asleep. And Hotch
kiss, the unpricipled scoundrel that
lie was, won and smile and take the
credit f>r it, just as much as she
chose to give him, although he used
•<• watch her get up in Lei sleep,
and knew he well enough how it was
\nd when she would throw her
a ms around his neck and kiss him,
and tell him how very kind
in li m. that conscienceless rascal
would say :
‘ Oli, it’s nothing, Harri-1. nothing
my dear: I do it because I love my
darling Harriet.” Then Mrs Hotch
ki-s would nestle h<-r head on his
waist-oat and cry over his shirt
front, and he would stand there with
the air of a man who was'conscious
of having done a great and noble
action at the cost of a fearful s lf-sac
lifice.
This kind of thing continued for
several weeks, until one night, while
Mrs. Ho'chkiss was washing shirts
in her sleep a needle concealed in
one of the garmen s ran into her
finger and awoke her. For a mo
ment she was bewildered. The
iruth flushed upon her. She went
up stairs. Hotchkiss was fast
asleep and snoring like a fog whistle.
She shook him and waked him.—
He thought she was still in a som
nambulistic condition ; so he ex
claimed ; ‘ See here, old woman, lem
me alone and go down and finish up
that washing.” Mrs. Hotchkiss did
not nestle her head upon his bosom
then. She nestled her hands among
his hair and yelled at him, and ptili-
Lim out of the bed on ihe floor and
hammered him with a chair. And
ihe next day she went for a divorce.
They made it up afterward, but she
stopped washing in her sleep, and
has taken to blackmailing Hotchkiss
for bonnets. If he seems indisposed
to disburse handsomely she always
starts for a divorce, and he succumbs.
Did vou ever notice that the ini
tials of Sons of Temperance spell
‘Sot,’and, those of the Independent
Order of Good Templars would
stand for, ‘I once got tights
Your First Sweetheart.
You can never target her. She
was so young and innocent and
pretty. She had such a way < (
looking lit you over her hymn book
in ebu cli She alone of all the
world did not think you a hoy of
eighteen, hut wonih red at your
-ize and learning and your faint toie
shadowing of sandy moustache, and
believed you every inch a man.
When at tense stupi i eveniog par
tie-, where bo\s and gi»l wtio
-haul I liave l>. eu eating suppers of
bread an I milk, and gone to sleep
hours hes -re waltzed and flirted, and
inaitethemselvi s sick over oysters

with a glance of her i ye or a whisper
"I tier lip, you ascended lo the st-v- I
enth In iiven irnn edia'ely. When j
once upon a memorable eve she
polio red with the diuggist’s clerk, j
and nt-vi r even looked at you, how
miserable you uere._ li is funny to
think of now, hot it was not then,
tor you were awfully hi earnest.
Once at a picnic she wore a while
dress and hail rosea twined in her
golden hair, arid she looked s > much
like a biide you faiily trembled;
sometimes \on thought in just such
stioa y costume, with just such blos
soms in her hair, she might stand
before tiie alter, ami you, most
hles-ed of all mortals, might place a
ring upon her lingpr ; and when
you were left with her lor a moment,
some ol your thoughts would lorm
themselves into words, and though
she blushed and runaway, and would
in t let \ ou kiss I er she did not seem
to he angry. But then when you
were somehow parted lor a little
while, and when you met again she
was walking will a gontlman, a
large, full giown, whiskered man,
of twenty-eight or thirty, and had
miiher words nor smiles for you,
and some well-meaning gossip in
formed you shortly after that she
w as “engaged” :o ; he tall gentleman
with black whiskers, and that “it
was a splendid match.” Il washr
rible news to you, then, and sent
you off to some great city far from
your native place, where, after a
good deal ofyouthlul grief, anil many
resolutions to die and haunt tier, you
recovered your equauanimity and
began to make money and to call
love stuff and nonsr me.
. You have a rich wife of your own
now, and grown up children—ay,
even two or three tod.fling grand
children—about your health ; your
hair is gray and you lock your heart
up in the fireproofsafe at your count
ing-house win n you go home at
night. And you ibought you had
fergotten that little ep'sodo of your
nineteenth year, until the other day
vou read her death in the papers.
You know she was a stout la-ly who
wore glasses and has died older
than she was in that olden time, but
your heart went back and yen saw
her smiling and blushing with her
golileu hair about her face, and your
t-elf a hoy again, dreaming of v ed
ding robes and rings, and you laid
your gray old head upon your office
desk and wept for the memory of
your fitst sweetheart.— Exchange.
Tubacco.'
Thousands are now arrayed, in
regularly organ’z <1 bands, to make
war upon that grand enemy of our
race, Alcohol; but where are the
aimie3 that are fighting against the
c dleague ot liquor—Tobacco ? Ii
seems ridiculous lo us to see a man
get up arid Iterate intemperance as a
“vice of hell,” when he has just re
moved a nauseous quid of tobacco
from his mouth, before ascending
the rosttum! Tobacco is a most
powerful intoxicant, a deadly poison,
and a most nauseous and disgusting
vegetable, and yet he uses it, and
prates of temperance. Is it right for
him to preach of temperance, while
his nerves have just been strung up
by an intoxicant? Is he adhering
to that teaching when he takes daily,
an hourly allowance of nicotine, to
restiing his pro?trate"nerves, nerves
which have been intoxicated by poi
son while they cannot now do with
out ? Veiily no ! In the use of To
bacco, he goes back bn his word ;
he is poisoning his system ; he is
weakening his nervous powers; he
is diseasing his hody ; he is softening
his brain ; he is bequeathing disease
and impntency to his children and
spending- for the nourishing of a
disgusting habit, the funds which
ought to go to clothe and feed his
family, or if not there, then to the
poor, whom God has commanded
us to succor!
Beyond all these reason’, it does
seem that selfishness, or self preser
vation, “nature’s first law,” would
prevent any sensib'e person’s using
so deadly a pois rn astobacco. Lei
us see what are its effects upon the
system. Najure abhors it. Every
jper-on goes through a trying and
(ihgusting ordeal before he cm
! chew it, he subdui s his natuie, by a
i warfare that is as unreasonable as
it is unna'ural. but when he has ai
! last, by pers verance, so overcome
Ins natural powers of resis ance to
p >ison, as to induce his system to
j take it without remonstrance, then
ihe becomes, by degrees, like the
l’ontic Monarch, who ,‘fed on poi
sons, til they become a kind of nu
triinen'.” tobacco becomes a neres
jsi y ! ‘Manly io chew’’—how 7 piti
| lul an i lea of manliness ! True man
j liuess loathes tfie idea, as it loathes
j every other vicious idea. But to
recur; Nicotine p o-fuces as many
: Diseases as liquor. The great Prof
lessor Ligavs, of the “Royal Col
lege of Surgeons” tells us tha' it
produces sickness vomiting, giddi
ness, dyspepsia, vitiated tasie ol the
mouth, foul breath, diseased liver,
congestion of the brain, apoplexy,
pdsy, mania, loss of memory, amar
nsis, deafness, nervousness, emascu
lation, cowardice, anjina pectoris,
disease ot the pancreas and heart,
atrophy, u'cera ion »fthe li s, gUTs
inucuos membrane of the mouth,
tonsils and llimat, and a host ol
other ills too numerous to mention.
1 hat an array of diseases—the re
suit of tobacco chewing ! That a
crop of misery, to be garnered, in
order to achieve the “manly accom
plishment” of being in a level wi b
the goat and tobacco—worm!
What a penalty men pay, that they
may put themselves below the
beasts of the field, for these would
starve before they would touch the
leaihesome weed! Verily there is
madness in the act; there is sin.
here is disgrace, and society, the
church, and the templars, ouyht to
exert an influence to put down an
evil which biings so uianv suffer
ings upon humanity, and which goes
“hand in hand” with liquor drink
ing, the world over. The church
is supposed, to exist for the purpose
of propagating viitue, and lessening
vice, Init it would he laughable, it
it were not so pitiable, to s e the
manner in which it ass .ils mithical
sins, and steadily ignores the open
crimes and vices wh ch are eating
like cankerworms, into the very
heart of society. The most liwhs
and revolting vices, go unnoticed,
and unrebuked, because, forsooth.
‘ ministes of God” fear to risk their
“popularity.” Christ, the leader,
taught a different doctrine, and we
hope the day is not far distant,
when tLe re will he a revolution in
tin- pulpit, as there is one, among
the people, and dint the ministers
will rebuke vice as it deserves.

“Naked, and Ye Clothed Me.”
—We have met with a beautiful
story, how a Russian soldier, one
very i old night, kept duty between
one sentry box and another. A poor
workingman, moved with pity, took
off his coat and lent it to the poor
soldier to keep him warm ; adding
that lie should soon reach home,
while the soldier would be exposed
out ot doors for the night. The cold
was so intense, that the soldier was
found dead in the morning. Some
tune aft> rward the poor man was
laid oa his death-bed, and in a
dream saw Je-us appear to him.
“You have got my coat on,” said
1116 man. “Yes ,t is the coat you
lent me th at cold night when I was
on duty and you passed by. “1 was
naked and ye clothed me.”— Chris

Motives to Religion.—Those
persons who are deterred from de
voting themselves to the seiv : ce of
God on account of the difficulties
ands icrifices attending a religious

it will he much harder to endurethe
consequences of a life ol sin than to
prac ice die dutes of religion;
and also that, by their present
course, they are' sicrficing the
friendship of Him “in whose favor
's life, and whose loving kindness is
better than life.” One of the mar
tyrs, when being led to the stake,,
was urged to recant; and as a mo

A Gallowstown lady recent y re
quested her husband to go to the
dressmaker and teli lier that she (his
wife) had changed her mind, and
would have the watered silk made
up instead ol the poplin, and that
“if she thinks that it would look
better with bias flounces without
puffing, and box-pleated below the
equator, which should be gathered
in hemstitched gudgeons up and
down the seams, with gusset stitch
between she can make it up ihat
way, instead of fluiting the bobinet

A good story, says the Advertiser,
is told ol a Montgomery man who,
having sat up the greater part of the
night before, fell sound asleep in his
pesv at church the next morning
Aroused from his slumbers by one
of the stewards, the first tiling his
eyes rested upon was the contribu

of mind which genrally follows a
sudden awakening, he puts it gently
aside with the audible remark ; “No
thank you ! I never smoke,” and-rc*
lapsed into his doze once more.
