THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, GKA., SUBSCRIPTION PRICE—IN ADVANCE: Two Dollars per Annum. SATURDAY. APRIL 5, 1873. Doing A Peddling Female. Wc had a visit from a book-peddling female Inst week. She was alone in this world and had no one to whom she could turn for sympathy or assistance, hence wc should buy her book. She was unmarried and had no manly heart in which she could pour her sufferings, therefore we ought to invest in her book. She had received a liberal edu cation and could talk French like a na tive; we could not in consequence re fuse to pay two dollars for a book. We had listened attentively, and here broke in with, “What did you say ? We’re deaf.” She started in a loud voice and went through with her rigmarole. When 6he had finished we went and got a roll of paper and made it into a speak ing trumpet, placed one end in our car and told her to proceed. She nearly burst a blood vessel in her effort to make herself heard. She commenced : “I am all alone in this world.” “It doesn’t m ke the slightest differ- ence to us, though. We arc not alone; in fact we are husband and a father. As this is not leap year, bigamy is not allowed in this State. We are not eligi ble to proposals.” “Oh, what a fool this man is !” she said in a low tone ; then at the top of her voice, “I don’t wan’t to marry you. I want to sell a Vo-o-k 1” This last sentence was howled. “Wo don’t want a cook," we blandly replied; “our wifo does the cooking, and she wouldn’t allow as good looking a woman as you are to stay in the house five minutes. She is very jealous.” She looked at us in despair. Gath ering her robes about her, giving us a glance of contempt, and exclaiming, “I do believe if a three hundred pound er was let off alongside that blamed old deaf fool’s head he’d think somebody was knocking at the door.!” she flung herself out and slammed the door with a vehemence thatawakened our officeboy, who can sleep sound euough for a whole family. When she was gone we indulg ed in a demoniac laugh. She isn’t likely to try to sell us a book any more. A Mother’s Love, —Lamartine, the French writer, beautifully illustrates a mother’s love in the following : “In some spring freshet a river widely washed its shores and rent away a bough whereon a bird had built a cottage for her summer home. Down the white and whirling stream drifted the green branch, with its wicker cup of unfledg ed song, and fluttering beside it as it went, the mother bird. Unheeding the roaring of the river, on she went, her cries of agony and fear piercing the pauses in the storm. How like the love of the old fashioned mother, who followed the child she bad pluoked from her heart, all over the world. Swept away by passion that child might be, it mattered not, though he was bearing away with him the fracrance of the shattered roof-tree, yet that mother was with him, a Ruth through all his life, and a Rachel at his death.” —— * A New Specific for Small Pox.— The New York Sun says small pox afflict ed communites will be pleased to learn that certain families in Huntsville, Ala,- during the prevalence of small pox there, found the tea of the cimicifuga recemosa or black 6nake root, otherwise known as black pohosh, to beau efficient preven tative of small pox. Dr. G. D. Norris stated at a meeting of the Alabama State Medical Association, that in the families using the above named root there occurred no case of small pox, al though some were exposed to the dis ease. Dr. Norris vaccinated the mem bers, but without effect so long as they continued to use the black snake root tea. After ceasing to uso the tea he again vaccinated them, when the speci fic effect of the vaccine virus was pro duced. The subject is well worthy the attention of the medical profession. The most bashful girl was the young lady who blushed when she was asked if she had not been courting sleep. An exchange says married life is a mere joko among Chicago people. Yes, but it is a joke that few of them carry very far.— Courier-Journal. Kll\HOl>. “Massachusetts: There she is; look at her .” Her legislative vote agnin>t the resolution censuring Sumner tells the story. It is perhaps nil in keeping. Once Massachusetts was represented at outside her borders by such men as John Quincy Adams, Harrison Gray Otis, Daniel Webster, Robert C. Win throp, Charles Francis Adams, Robert Rantoul, Horace Mann. Now, in her day of small things, when sho persists in a vote of upon her ablest Senator, because he had moved to ex tinguish in the army the smouldering embers of the old sectioual hate, nnd its taunting triumphs in the war.—uow, in this her day of dwarfish decline and narrow partisan malignity, Massachu setts is appropriately represented "by her Credit Mobilier patrons; her Colbath Wilson, her Dawes, her Oakes Ames, her Hooper, her Beu Butler. She should write, over the door of her old State House, Ichabod; for her glory is departed. The very frogs of the old historic pond on Boston Common must he opening their spring concert With the doleful coronach of “Old Ben! old Ben! Oakes Ames!” Oakes Ames!”— Hartford Timet. tiood Rules for Emergencies. Professor Wilder, of Cornell Univer sity, gives these short rules of action in case of accident. It would not be a bad thing to cut this out and carry it in one’s pocket-book, or better yet, com mit to memory. For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water into them ; remove cinders, etc , with the round point of tho pencil. Remove iusccts from the ear by tepid water ; never put a hard instrument into the ear. If an artery is cut, compress below. If choked, get upon all fours and cough. Smother a fire with carpets, etc., wa ter with often spread burning oil and increase danger. Before passing through smoke, take a full breath and then stoop low, bnt if carbouic is suspected wJk erect. Suck poisoned wounds, or, cut out the part witout delay; hold the wound ed part as long as can be borne to a hot coal or the end of a cigar. In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling the throat, or by warm mus tard. For acid poisons give alkalies; for al kaline poisons, give acids ; white of an egg is good in most cases. For apoplexy, raise the head and body ; for fainting, lie flat. Stop My Paper.— Every publisher of a newspaper has heard this tremen dous order from offended subscribers, imagined by the offended to be as dan gerous as a stroke of lightuing, but in reality more harmless than a mosquito bite. A good story is told by the Phil adelphia Post of Mr. Swain, the former proprietor of the Daily Ledger. By his course on some public question, on which different persons had different opinions, Mr. Swain had offended a num ber of reader?, one of whom met him on Chestnut street and thus accosted him: “Mr. Swain, I’ve stopped the ledger.” “What is that, sir?” “I’ve stopped the Ledger,” was the stern reply. “Is it possible?” said Mr. Swain. “My dear sir, what do you meaD. Come with me to my office.” And taking the man with him, he entered the offioe at Third and Chestnut streets; there they found the clerks busy at their desks ; then they ascended to the editorial rooms and com posing rooms, where everything was going on as usual; finally they descend ed to the press rooms, where the engines were at work. “I thought you told me you had stopped the Ledger,” said Mr. Swain. “So I have,” said the offended subscriber. “I doo,t see the stoppage. The Ledger seems to be going on.” “Oh ! I mean to say—that is, that l— ah—had stopped taking it.” “Is that all !” exclaimed Mr. Swain, “why, my dear sir, you don’t know how you alarm ed me.” A poor, emaciated Irishman, having called in a physician as a forlorn hope, the latter spread a mustard plaster, and put it on the poor fellow’s lean chest. Pat, when he with tearful eyes looked down on it, said, ‘ Dochter, it strikes me it’s a dale of mustard for so little mate.” “Lenny, you’re a pig,” said a father to his five-year-old boy. “Now do you know what a pig is, Lenny’’, “Yes sir, a Itog’a little boy.” Wilkins & Co.s Column. ill mi o y We offer tho following Premiums : To the patron who sells us the first bale of Cotton made the pres ent season, $25.

Newspapers, Magazines,Etc. l'rospectus for IS7J Sixili Year, THE ALDINE, An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally admitted to be the Handsomest Periodical in the World. A Representative and Champion of Ameiiean Taste. Not for Sale in Book or News Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the j regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It ts on elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; und a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and bounty of The Aldine, will be most ap preciated after it has been bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a , similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original j conception—alone and unapproaened —absolutely | without competition in price or character. The : possessor of a complete volitmo cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any ! other shape, or number of volumes for ten timet I ilt rust; and then, there are the ehromut , betides! j ART - JP-AJRTMEJSrX. Notwithstanding the increase in tho price of subscription last Fall, when The Aldine assumes its present noble proportions and representative character, the edition uas more than doubled during the past year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art. Tho publishers, anxious (o justify the toady confidence thus demonstrated, have exortod themselves to the utmost to develop and improve tho work ; and tho plans for the coming year, as unfolded by tho j monthly issues, will astonish and delight even | the most sanguine friends of The Aldine. The publishers are authorized to announce de- j signs from many of tho moat eminent artists in America. In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success, and great est general interest ; avoiding such ns have be come familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produce four of John S. Davis’ inimitable child skotches, appropriate to the four seasons. Those plates, appearing in the issuos for January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year’s subscription. The popular feature of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number will bo continued To possess such a valuable epitome of the art world at a cost so trifling, will command tho subscriptions of thousands in every section of the country ; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of The Aldine can be enhanced, in propor tion to the numerical increase of its supporters, the publishers propose to make “assurance doubly sure,” by the following unparalleled offer of Premium Chromos for 1813. Every subscriber to The Aldine, who pay* in ad vance for the year 1873, will receive, without addi tional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromos, after ,T. ,T. Hill, llie eminent English painter. The pic tures, entitled “The Village Helle,” and “Crossing tho Moor,” are 14x20 Inches—are printed from 25 different plates, requiring 25 impressions and tints to perfect each picture. The same chronics’ are sold for S3O per pair in tile art stores. As it is the determination of its conductors to keep The Aldine out of the reach of competition In every depart ment, tho chromos will be found correspondingly ahead of any that can he offered by other periodi cals. Every subscriber will receive eertiffcate, over the signature of the publisher naranteeing that the chromos delivered shat uuat "(the samples furnished the agent, or 6 i will be refunded. The distribution of picture fgrade, free to the subscribers to a five do't i ,eriodical, will mark an epoch in the history of Art; ami, con sidering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for The Aldine. itself, the marvel falls little short of a iniraclo, even to those best acquainted with the achievements of inventive genius and Improved mechanical appliances. (For illustrations of these chromos, see N ivembor issue of The Aldine. The Literary Department wl 1 continue under the care of Mr. Richard Hex sr Stoddard, assisted by the l>est writers and poets of the day, who will strive to have the literature of The Aldine always in keeping with its artistic attractions.
