BOWDOIN COLLEGE.
This Institution, now rapidly growing in
jptilar favor, was sou ded in 1060 and char
tered in 1857, fer the 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, tution, and
board, have been reduced to the lowest practi
cable rates. All superfluities and luxuries are
discouraged, and a young man is estimated by
his ability, application and moral character,
rather than tile cut and cost of his coat. With
, course of study, inferior to none, and a stan
fa and of scholarslrp not below the highest, xve
,ffer an education to the struggling youth of
the Country at less than HALF the COBT at
other Colleges of the same grade.
BOW DON COLLEGE
Is Hie tool of no Political faction, nor Religious
sect. No Btndent nor Citizen is proscribed for
political or religious opinions. We 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 l
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 for 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 geuius grows in its native forests,
nucorrupted by the cunning and craft, ihe
gretd and luxury of City life It is to this
cla«s 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 yvho and sire to prepaie
for business; and in Arithmetic, English
Grammar aud Geography, for those not fully
prepared to enter upon the College Course.

The Reason why Mr. O'Clarance did
not Appear in the Fireman's
Procession.
From Ihe Danbury Sties.
The fireman h.-ni a parade on Sat
urday. It was a fine affair, hut
the fib«ence of Mr. O'Clarance was
deeply f -lt not Only by the deptrl
ment, but by the pub ic. Ills long
arid faithful service at the business
meetings and festivals, and h ssplen
did bearing on parade, h ve given
Mr. O’Clarance an enviable positi n
in the hearts of h'S countrymen. —
We are s rry he was not present on
Saturday. Bui an unlocked for and
very painful accident deprived him
and us the pleasure of that pi- as
urc.
The night which preceded the 1-st
annive sary to our national ind--
pndence, he took home twenty-five
dollarsworthof fir* works fora splurg
on ilf n xt night. lie c dculateil he
had glory cnottsh in that pad age to

evtry tax payer on N rtli street,
and his wife, after carefully exam
ining the lot, was equa ly c>nfient
that the n ighbors won and ‘make
tli ir eyes bung out,”as site pens' ve
ly expressed it.
The nxt m ruing O’Clar n-e go:
ou* the bundle to lo k ii over again,
and feed on ihe anticipation, There
were,those cam.on crackers—s-v. r
al packs —and roman candles, and
blue-fire, and pin wheels, and rock
e's and the like—a very creditable
assortrnet t for any fatni y. Mr.
W ickford’s boy from tli next house
was in, and sei on th floor holding
a piece of ligh ed pu k in his hail'd
and lad both his eyes ad month
wide open enjoying the fight.—
O’Clarance was sitt'ng on bis
haunches, h lding a pinwlied in bis
hand, and explaining to Mrs O'Clar,
ante how cheaply th- y could be
made in China, and how superior
in ingenuity and industry were the
Chinese to any oth r races. None
of them knew bow it h ippencd, but
O’Clarance remen.b rs th t there!
were two packs of cannon crackers
ju t under him, and thinks Wick
ford.- boy must have in some way
dropped the punk in among them,
and in the gen- ral inter- st turgot
that it was ali e.
At any rate, there was a sudden
hiss right und< r Mi, O'Clarence, lol
fnllowe 1 in the next ins'ant by i t<n'-
nad ) 1 f sounds and sparks, and ihat
gen leman ;ti once shot toward the
cei iog in a bliz" ot various colored
1 ghts, while the air became thick
with sparks, blue lights, blazing
balls, industrious pinwneeis, insane
skyrockets, and screeching crackers.
Al rs. O’Clarence fell over a chair
that cost c : ght dollars when new,
and struck the back of lu r head
againsj the stove .hear li with a vio
lence that; dd and materially to the
disj lay of fiieworks air ady going
on. Wickford’s hoy w. s struck in
the mouth with askyro ket and had
two thirds of his hair take n off by a
roman candle, and was knocked
through a doorway by a piece of
ord ance just introduced thisseason,
and wh'ch will undoubtedly become
popular when understood b; tter.—
He w.is afterward fi-hed 'Rut. if a
rosebush and taken h. me in a table
cloth.
O’Clarence remained during the
entire exhibition, looking at it
from various positions, and when it
was ova r with he was put in a sheet
by the neighbors, and sa nrated
with 0.1, and then covered with mo
lasses and flour. We learn that new
skin is aheady forming on parts of
him, and if no unfavorable symptoms
set in he will be out in a fortnight,
all hough it is not likely lie will min
g'e much in society until his hair
and eyi brows commence to grow.—
He thinks Wickford’s boy is dead,
and they dare not t< 11 him to the
contrary until he gets stronger. Sin
gularly enough Mrs. O’Clarence es*
c ip'd injury by burns, but the blow
on her head was so severe that she
c moot bear to have h< r ba k hair
drawn up as high as it was before
and missing her church privilege s is
a sore trial for her.
Dyspeptic.—ls you observe the
following rules carefully and con
scientiously, you will need no modi
cine whatever:
1* Rise eaily, dress warm, and
go out—if sroug, walk; if weak
saunter; drink coll water three
times—of a 1 co'd baths this is the
best for the dyspeptic ; after half an
hour.or more, come in for breakfa t,
2 For breakfast eat a piece of
good st ak half as large as your
hand,, a slices of cold .bread, and a
baked apple ; eat very sl,.wly ; talk
very pleasantly wiili your neigbors,
read cheerful comments of j uirnals,
avoid hot biscuifs ands rong coffee,
drink nothing.
3. Digest for an hour, aipd then
toyo -r work. Work hard til' noon,
and then rest body and mind 111
dinner, sleep a little, drink water.
4. For dinner—two or three
o’clock—eat a slice of beef, mu’ton,
or Ssh, as large as your hand, a pov
tut", two or three spoonfuls of otii
er vege nbles a’d a slice of coarse
bread ; gve more than half an hour
to rhis meal, use no drink.
-5. Aft> r dinner play anac nda for
an hour. Now for the social, f r
plea-ant games—a good time.
5. N-> supper—a little toast and
tea even for supper will make your

7. In a warm room bathe your
skin v ith cold water hastily, and go

before nine o’clock. Follow the.

It was at the second battl”
of Buil Hun that a cannon ball car
ried of a poor s- ldier’s leg.
•‘Gariy me to the rear,” lie erkd
to a tad Yankee companion who had
b e:i fighting by bis side.
The Yankee caught the wounded
soldier up and as he was about to
jiut hint across his shou’d r another
cannon ball carried away the poor
fellows bead. The Yankee, how
ever, in the cons usion did not notice
this, but proceed'd with his burden
towards the rear.
“Wlmt are yon carrying that thing
for ?” erred an officer.
“Thing!” returned the vatikee.—
“It’s a man with fiis leg shot off.”
•‘Why lie lias’nt any head cried
the officer.
The ynnkee looked at his load,
and for the first time saw what the
officer said was turn Throwing
down the body, ! e thundered out;
“Confound him! he told me it was
his leg.
A young man was out serenading
his “duhieiia” recently, left a large
por ion of the basement of histrow
sers on the garden palings. The
old man measured the ground next
morning, and pronounced it a very
hca thy jump f r a dry goods clerk.
The block that was attached to rhe
yard dog, prevented him from get
ting ;o the f uce in lime, although
the young man says it was “was

He now carries some s'rychnine
carefully wrapped up in a piece of
beef, and tine providence permitting
there will be one dog less in that

Two vomlis in Chicago lately
i layed Damon and IG tolas in a
small way to a very select audience
of two or three policeman. One of
them, Elijah Harris, tried his hand
at highway robbery, and cleaned
out his victim, but he had the mis-
Ijoi tue to get “pulled.” He wash”ld
to answer in the sum of SI,OOO,
vt hich he did not have about him,
mul was returned to the iock-np un
til he could be removed to jail. Or,
the same evening another boy about
the same size was put in the same
cdl of the lock up for some r rifling
cffbnrn. The two youngsters con
sulted upon how they could help
each other. Elijah had money se
creted on his pci son 'and the other
had none. The other boy was fined
85 and cosis, and returned to ihe cr II
preparatory to being called for and
taken to a place to work nut the
debt. The hoys now divided mon
ey ami exchanged and when
the work-house coach called, Elijah
walked out and took his seat in the
conveyance. Arriving al the work
house he promplly paid his small
line and slid. The other boy has ex
plained the little trick. He objects
to trial for a robbery which he did
not commit, and has the money to
pay his fine and costs, but ihe police
have not let him go yet. They have
been outwitted and are mad about r.
The hoys certainly had the right to
“sway” clothes it they wanted to,
aid dial’s att they did to produce
this dramatic illusion. —St. Louis

I think half the trouble in ibis
world comes of doing things from
without instead of from within. Im

one may say that measles are a sort

person of so-caited maturity linger

how many artists do you find far be
yond it ? When I say artists I im

some sort ofartifice; if in no other
way than in the structure of his life.

Nothing insincere can l.ve, in art,
love, life. If there had not been an
element of sincerity in the devil hint
self, he would have bee.n dead long
ago. I become so tired of all this
vaneering in art, education, conver
sation, moral;;, and the r> st, that I
confess to a transient sympathy for
certain sincere forms of wickedness.
No one can doubt that sin is a per
mitted evil; and I can readily im
agine that a soul may come out quite
as vigorous from a swoon of unde
ceiving, passionate crime, as from a
life constrained by an ill-fitting,
hard-jointed, artificial shell of any
kind; even though you call the shell
morality, even though you call it,
falsely, religion. The living, the
doing”, from within, are the only
true. I want no man’s code, no man’s
doctrin r ; I respect the codes of ad
men, the doctrines, of all; I am
eager to se trch and know ; but I
must know of myself, and not of an
other. I am talking now only for
myself; and for my “doubles,”
wherever they may be. Some peo
ple seem to know things by the
knowledge. I never knew any thing
until l felt it. I have thought that I
knew it, hut I did not. The tritist
proverb; the thing that I supposed
went without the saying, has leaped,
with an experience, into a meaning,
j that had bet n, till that mom< nt, ui
tt-rly hidden from me.— Df. Holland

Story of a Picture.
A painter once wanted a picture
of innocence, and drew the liken >s
aofehild at prayer. The little suppli
cant was kneeling beside his mother,
the palms of his uplifted hands were
reveri ntly pressed together; his rosy
cheek spoke of health, and his mi and
blue eye was upturned with,the ex
pression of devotion and peace.
The portrait of young Rupert was
much prized by the painter, who
hung it up on the study wall and
cased it‘'lnnocence.” Years pass
ed away, and the artist become an
old mar/. Still the picture hung
there. He had often thought <f
painting a counterpart, the picture
of ‘Guilt,” but had not found an
opportunity. At last he effected his
purpose by paying a visit to a neigh
boring jail. On the damp do rof
his cell lay awn tched culprit nam
ed Randal, heavily ironpd. Wasted
wa- his body and hull \v was bis
eye; vice was visible in his tare.
The pa inter succeeded admirably,
and the portraits of young Rupert
and Randall were hung side by side
for ‘‘lnnocence” and ‘‘Guilt.' Bi t
who was young Rupert and who
was Randall ? Alas! the two were
one. Old Randall was young Ru
pert led astray by bad companions,
and ending his life in the damp and
shameful dungeon.'
Best Time for Painting House?,
The best time for painting the
ex teriior of buildings is late in au
tumn or during the winter. Paint
then employed will last twice a3
long as when applied in early sum
mer or hot weather. In the f nmer
it dries slowly and becomes hard,
like a glazed sutface, not easily af
fected afterward by the weatb> r, or
wornoffby the beating of storms.
But in hot weather the oil in the
paint soaks into the wood at once
Os' into a sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry and nearly ready to
crumble off. This last difficulty,
however might be guarded agaimt,
though at an increased expense, by
first going over the surface with raw
oil, By painting in cold weather,
one annoyance might be certainly
escaped, namely, the collection
of small flies in the fresh piint.—
