OFFICE OF T
Tiif Confederate Monument’l A.of Ga >
Augusta, Ga., January 4th, 1873. )
WE are aware that a .second postpone
ment of the distribution of the shares
of the Confederate Monumental Association
of Georgia will dissatisfy some of the ticket
holders. Providence has inflicted upon al
most eveiy section of our* country, for the
last month, the severest weather that has
been known for many years. The highways
of travel in many sections have been stop
ped. Communications between neighbor
hoods have been interrup’ed. People have
been compelled to keep close at their homes.
One Agent writes: ‘-The itostponemen
is so short that owing to the bad weather it
will be impossible for me to a : d you as I
expected.” A State Agent informs us that
“the contribution fiotu his State will he
cut, down to a small amount by the inclem
ent weather, aud the shortness of time. I 'j
One Agent stated to us in person that, there !
was many who wished to subscribe—that
he had not been able to see in consequence
of the extreme bitternss of the weather.
Another Agent declined to act longer, as
the time was too short to obtain tl e desired
results in his State. We might quote ftoin
other letters to show that complaint has
been made; that we sought expedite the
drawing by inadequate time. We frankly
confess that we desired to close the effort
we have berm making. The object sought
is a grateful one. We have been influenced
to hold or. by our desire to honor the mem
ory of personal relatives and friends, as well
as their lost and devoted comrades. We j
use the occasion to add that we have in no !
small degree been influenced to continue ,
our efforts to protect the credit of our State :
and section. We look to a quenchless vestal j
lire, without which, their can he no sou!, no j
true greatness, no noble sentiment in com
munities or nations.
We ; re Agents to guard this great and
most sacred enterprise. We ask the ticket
holders to give us their confidence. ' v e
ask them to rely upon our judgments for
another brief period. We know better than ;
they do the necessity for a little more time, j
If any one shall say this additional postpone-1
meat violates our pledge, all that we have
to say is, the South is not yet so represented
as to appear creditably before the country
atid the world. When we honestly tell you
that, will you not rather thank than con
demn us for the delay. In addition to the
difficulties already referred to, we may
properly add that for week* past the ex
citement of canvassing for county offices,
some of which are lucrative, iiave directed
attention from this effort to do garateful
and patriotic work. These elections are
over. These excitements are rapidly pass
ing away. Our people can now have time
for reflection. They will now move freely ;
come to the tombs of their martyrs, stretch
ed on their shields in wakeless sleep, and
make their offerings for perpetual remem
brance.
We trust no one will be dissatisfied, but
that all will unite with us in saying that the
! sepulchral honors of the dead should not be
! marred by impatience or selfish cotlsfdera
i limits Whether we look to the battle-field
I or the new made grave, our heroes are
wreathed with the honors of dying patriots
We bow publicly pledge and solemnly aver
that the distribution shall take place on the
! THIRD DAY OF APRIL, 1873, I> V.
On that day the curtain will fall upon
| this most holy enterprise, and we trust the
I people will enable us to present an exhibit
| that will be more satisfactory than we could

Oft there comes a dreary honr,

And we’re under sorrow’s power,
With no peace nor comfort near;

And He listens to onr prayer;
Then to us lie sen Is relief,
For His people are His care ;

YOU It FI It.ST SWEETHEART.
You can never forget her. She was
so young and innocent and pretty. She
had such a way of looking at you over
her hymn book in church. She alone
of all the world did not think you a
boy of eighteen, but wondered at your
size and learning and your faint fore
shadowing of sandy moustache, aud be
lieved you every inch a man. When
at those stupid evening parties, where
boys aud girls, who should, have been
eating suppers of bread and milk, and
goue to sleep hours before, waltzed aud
flirted, and made themselves sick over
oysters and champagne, you were favor
ed with a glance of her eye or a whis
per of her lip, you ascended to the
seventh heaven immediately. When
onco upon* memorable even she polker
ed with the druggist’s clerk, and never
even looked at you, how miserable you
were. It is funny to think of now,’but
it was not then, for you were awfully
in earnest.
Once at a picnic she wore a white
dress and had roses twined in her
golden hair, and she looked so much like
a bride you fairly trembled; sometimes
you thought iu just such sQowy costume,
with just such blossoms in her hair,
she might stand before the altar, and
you, most blessed of all mortals, might
place a l ing upon her finger; and when
you were left with her for a moment,
some of your thoughts would form
themselves into words, and though she
blushed and ran away, and would not
let you kiss her, she . did not seem to
be angry. And then when you were
somehow parted for a little while, and
when you met again she was walking
with a gentleman, a large, full grown,
whiskered man, of twenty-eight or
thirty, and had neither words nor
smile for you, and some well-meaning
gossip informed you shortly after that
she was “engaged” to the tall gentle
man with black whiskers, and that ‘‘it
was a splendid match.” It was ter
rible news to you, then, and sent you
off to some great city far from your
native place, where, after a good deal
of youthful grief, and many resolutions
to die and haunt her, you recovered
your cquanamity and began to make
money and to call love stufl and uon
sense.
You have a rich wife of your own
now, and grown up children —ay, even
two or three toddling grandchildren—
about your hearth; your hair is gray
and you lock your heart up in the fire
proof safe at your counting-house when
I you go home at night. Aud you thought
| you had forgotten that little episode of
j your nineteenth year, until the other
day you read her death in the papers.
You know she was a stout lady who
| wore glasses, aud lias died older than
she was in that olden time, but your
heart went back and you saw her smil
ing and blushing, with her golden hair
about her face, and yourself a boy again,
dreaming of wedding robes and rings,
and you laid your gray old head upon
your office desk and wept for the mem
! ory of your first sweetheart.— Exchange.

A little Little llock girl died, a few
days ago, of what was supposed to be
cerebro-spinal meningitis. The Gazette
says: “Dr. Quidor, doubtirg the cause
of her death, obtained permission to
make a post mortem examination. The
examination disclosed the fact that ,hc
little girl’s stomach was loaded with
boiled cabbage, which had worked itself
into one hard solid mass, distending the
stomach and causing death, the victim
dying in convulsions. The doctor says
that many of the deaths credited to this
cerebro-spinal disease have nothing to
do with it, and are entirely distinct from
it.” m
♦♦■■■
A ministerial brother, who married
rather sooner after the death of his wife
than some of the sisters thought proper
and becoming, excused himself as follows:
“My dear brethren and sisters, my grief
was greater than I could bear. I turn
ed every way for peace and comfort, but
none come. I searched the Seripters
from Ginisee to lliverlations, and found
plenty of promises to the widder, but
nary one to the widderer. And so I
took it that the good Lord didn’t waste
sympathy on a man when it was in his
power to comfort himself, and having a
first-rate chance to marry in the Lord,
I did so, and would do the same thing
again. Besides, my brethren, I consid
ered that poor Patsev was just as dead
as she would ever be.”
method of .Stopping Toothache.
Many receipts arc giveu from time to
time for stopping that most distracting
and unnerving of pains, the toothache.
But there is one check, so simple and
so nearly certain that it should be far
more widely kuown than it U. Its ap
plication, however, is for the most part
restricted to the lower jaw:
When a tooth in the lower jaw aches,
put a bit of icc between the tongue and
the gum, and hold it with the tongue
against the root of the tooth in which
the pain is felt. The effcot will often
be astonishing. We have known tooh
aches that had raged furiously for days
together, and had nearly driven their
unhappy victims frantic, stopped by this
ready means with a suddenness that
made the suffereT of one moment abso
lutely unaware at the next that he had
had any toothache at all. This process
is not a cure, however; it is only a
check, or palliative; it does not remove
the condition that produces the pain.—
Nevertheless, we know of one gentle
man who was liablo at any moment to
maddening attacks of this fearful pain,
and who since he learned of this expe
dient, has rarely been troubled by bis
old enemy.
The reason why ibis application can
not so readily be made to toothache in
the upper jaw is that the roots of the
teeth do not lio closo to the roof of the
mouth, and are not accessible to the ice
held in place by the tongue. The ice,
if applied, has to be placed between the
cheek and the outer gum, when there
is more difficulty a bout keeping in posi
tion, and when, if the patieut sits or
stands, the water from the melting ice
ruus down on the suffering totjtb, and
aggravates instead of alleviating the
pain. Still, if the sufferer lies in sueh
a position that the water does not touch
the tooth, an icicle may be taken in
winter, with one end wrapped in a
handkerchief and the other end held
against the root of the tooth (or rather
against the wm on the outer side of it),
with very good effect. In summer it
is less easy to apply ice to the upper
jaw, but if the victim can do it without
letting the cold water run on the tooth,
it will in most cases give relief.
Another application of ice consists
in wrapping a lump ot that substance
in a handkerchief, and holding it against
the face just forward of the ear, where
the nerves from all the teeth concentrate
on their way to the braiu. This some
times proves efficacious, but there is
no certainty whatever of its success.—

Fanny Fern on Editors.
Fanny Fern think; it a great pity that
editors, in reviewing the books written
by women, so often Fall into the error
fo reviewing the woman instead of the
book. After having her say on this sub
ject, she talks of editors in general
terms, thus :
“It is a pity that an editor should
not be a gentlemen, for bis own sake,
and because no position can be more
honorable than bis, if he choose to make
it so, nor more influential for good or
evil. Think of the multitude he ad
dresses—the thinking men and women
who pass his columns under critical
review. Surely, this messenger cross
ing the sacred threshhold of home,
might well step carefully, reverentially,
discreetly, and discuss fairly, justly, all
topics cspecialy conuected with home
duties aud home responsibilities. Sure
ly, his advertising list, if he have one,
should be a clean one, such as any frauk
browed, hitherto innocent young boy,
might read. Surely, the maiden, whose
horizon is not bounded by a strip of
ribbon or silk, or even the marriage
alter, should have the great question of
the day, relating to the future of her
sex, not brushed aside with a contempt
uous sniff, or treated with flippant ridi
cule, because this is the shortest and
easiest way of disposing of that which
requires thorough and fair deliberation..
It seems o strange to me, who hold in
such exalted estimatiou an .JtwJP"-
ing that one should ever be fputid will
ing to belittle it; it is also a great com
fort to know that thqre are those who
hold this their position, for honor and
interest second to none, ami In this light
conscientiously conduct the paper, so
far as their strength and means allow.
This would be a very stupid world, [
grant, if individuality were not allowed
in the editorial chair, as well as else
where; hut leaving a wide margin for
this, h there not still room iu iiiany

courtsey, aud above all respectful men

gence of her life may compel her to ad
