DARE AND DO.
Upward—onward ! Fellow workmen;
Ours the battle field of life ;
Ne’er a foot to foeman yielding,
Pressing closer midst the strife !
Forward! in the strength of manhood—
Forward! in the fire of youth—
Aim at something; ne'er surrender—
Arm thee in the mail of truth.
Tho’ thy ways he strewn with dangers,
Rummer ruin drops lay the dust;
Faith and hope are two edged weapons
Which will ne’er helie their trust.
Shrink not, though a host surround thee,
Onward! Duty's path pursue;
All who gild the page of story,
Knew the brave words—Dare and do!
Miller was a rough stone mason ;
Rhakspeare, Goldsmith, Keats and Hood,
Franklin, Jerrold, Burns and Gifford,
Had to toil as we for food.
\es, these men, with minds majestic,
Sprang from ranks the rich call poor,
Cast a halo round brown labor;
Had to wrestle—fight—endure.
Forward, then, bright eyes are beaming,
Fight, nor lose thy Conqueror’s Crown,
Stretch thy right hand, seize thy birthright,
Take it, wear it, ’tis thine own.
Slay the giants which beset thee,
Rise to manhood—glory—fame,
Take thy pen, and in the volume
. Os the gifted, write thy name.

Bathing In Ice Water.
“ Cleanliness is the next tiling to* God
liness.. \\ e Americans begin at length
to believe this good old maxim. Now a
dajs the gentleman who builds a house for
himself or to rent to others would as soon
think of dispensing with a parlor or a front
uoor as with a bath room. See at wliat
cost pure water is supplied to all our great
cities, and how bathing houses for the
public and the poor begin to multiply. The
American mind is keenly alive to the tact
that a, clean skin, a clean conscience, a
plenty of agreeable work, a sound stomach,
and a lull pocket, constitute all the essen
tial elements ol happiness here below’, and
go far towards securing happiness hereafter.
Perhaps w r e do not carry matters so far
as Mr. AY alker, the hvgeian humorist, who,
after a thorough course of bathing, de
clared that his skin was so clean that no
impurity should stick toil, and maintained
that it was an absurdity to wash a face or
a body that w r as ot a necessity always
clean. Still we have all become more or
less converted to practical; hydropathy at
home, trusting less to “water cures,” ar
ranged ala hospital , upon the system of
Priesnittz, than to the daily application of
water, hot or cold, to the whole person,
and under the direction of no doctor but
our own strong common sense. Os the
hundreds and thousands of Americans who
accord to water all the virtues claimed for
it, the majority incline to water an natural
in preference to water heated, or at all
medicated. It is also well understood that
the use of cold water must he adapted to
the strength of the constitution and its
capacity to react upon the shock occasioned
by its application. With this restriction,
it is generally held that cold water is ben
eficial alike to old and young, from the
new hoi n infant to (lie i ‘lean and slippered
pantaloon, sans teeth, sans eyes, and sans
everything.
Very recently an entirely new doctrine
lias been broached, and one of much im— i
portanco. An anonymous writer in the j
last number ol the Democratic Age con— j.
tends that cold water is good enough in
its place, but that the effects of ice water
upon the debilitated system are peculiar,
and not only peculiar, but miraculous.—
Better still than the ice water is the ice i
itself, melted upon the naked person when ;
the system is strong enough to bear it. He
goes so far as so say “that ice, well used,
would prove not exactly the physical re- !
generation or restoration of the world, yet I
it would come very near it.”
The writer is, beoond question, a man
of ability, a literary man, but no mere !
scribbler, a man of ‘the world, a mighty
hunter and fisherman, a practical man.
who bases his conclusions, not upon closet
speculations, but upon his own personal
long continued experience. Attacked with
pneumonia, sallivated, broken down in
constitution, subject to hemolirrages from
the lungs, digestion totally deranged, rheu
matic and neuralgic, he tried in vain the !
remedies prescribed by American physi
cians, the effects ol foreign travel, the most
rigid diet, and the most careful and sys
tematic habits ot life. The most learned
physicians of London, Genoa, Milan,
Floience, Pisa, and Rome, could do him
no good.
His first step towards restoration began
with the use of the sponge bath of cold
water, immediately after getting out of
bed. After trying this for some time, i
with only a moderate degree of benefit,
lie became “convinced by a close chemical
analysis of ice, that it contained within i
itself a power of imparting physical vi
tahty possessed.By nothing else.” Beginning
with a lump of ice the size of a walnut
in a bowl of water, he increased the quan
tity until at length he melted five or six
pounds of ice upon his body every morn
ing.
This little lump of ice had anew effect I
—something that cold water never pro
duced— and the ultimate result was indeed
marvelous. He gained 65 pounds of flesh,
was restored not only to perfect health,
but to a state of vigorous energy, physical
strength, vital powers unwasting glow’ of
! feeling, and an ability to endure any
amount of fatigue and exposure with
j apparent impunity. His description of bis
present condition is ravishing. Unbroken
sleep, perfect control of liis nervous sys
tem, mind always serene and cheerful,
muscles firm and hard, no consciousness of
the existence of the internal organs, ability
to do with half the sleep he formerly re
quired, appetite always good, digestion
perfect, no taste whatever for unhealthy
I food ; in short, a supernatural state of mind
j and body, in which “every moment of his
j waking existence seems to be consciousness
! of physical, intellectual, moral and social
happiness.” And all this is due, under
; Providence, not to cold water, but to ice
mainly and chiefly.
Os course, the writer has his theory about
| the chemical nature of iee—theory which
we are frank to say w’e do not understand.
He talks about the ice having “electric
j heat,” laughs at the chemists who laugh at
him, and discusses the aurora borealis as
dependent upon the electric heat confined
in and emanating from the vast ice fields
of the Arctic zone. With all this we have
nothing to do; it may be or may not be
i so. The important fact is, that, there seems
to be some extraordinary curative property
: in ice when applied to the human skin, il
lustrated not only in the writer’s case, but
in the case of many friends to whom he
! gave the advice—“try the ice.”
Hspccially is the case adapted to “ner
vous, dyspeptic, tobacco using, excess in
dulging, authors, writers, teachers, and
intellectual men of all qualities.” To these
the writer promises that the use of ice,
first melted in water, and then applied in
the solid cake to the person, will bring un
wonted power of mind and body, constant
cheerfulness, a power of moral control, “a
blessed clearness of thought, absence of all
nervousness, in line, an ability to walk
further, stand up longer, work harder, and
do every thing better than they could do
it before.” “Existence will grow brighter,
and the flame of life will burn with more
calmness, security, glow and splendor, than
you ever dreamed of.”
This may be all enthusiasm, the writer’s
case may be epceptional, the ice cure may
not suit everybody, but the experiment may
be made without injury. “ Try the ice.”

Incident in the Life of an Engi
neer.
In returning from Philadelphia about
the middle of August, 1858, the cars were
very crowded and my companion in the
same seat with me I found out to be a lo
comotive engineer, and in the course of our
conversation, he made the remark, he hop
ed he had run his last trip upon a locomo
tive.
Upon making bold to ask him his rea
sons, he gave me the following story, which
since then I have found out to be strictly
true:
Five years since I was running upon the
New’ York Central Railroad. My run
was from B to R . It was the
lightning express train, and it w’as what
its name denotes, for it was fast—a very
fast run, and if I do say it, the old Tor
nado could go. I have seen her throw her
six foot drivers so as to be almost invisible
to the eye. And let me here remark, it is
supposed by many that railroad engineers
are a hard-hearted set of men. Their lives
are hard, ’tis true, but I do claim to have
as line a feeling, and a heart that can sym
pathize with the unfortunate, as any man
that breathes. But to my story.
* About half a mile from the village of
B , there is a nice little cottage, but a
few feet from the track. At that time a
young married couple lived there. They
had one child, a little boy about four years
old, a bright, black-eyed, curley-lieaded
little chap as you ever saw. I had taken
a great deal ot interest in the little fellow,
and had thrown candy and oranges to him
from the train, and I was sure to see him
peeping through the fence when my train
passed.
One fine sunny afternoon we w*ere be
hind time and running last, nor did we
stop at L , and I was to make up one
hour before reaching R . AAV came
up at a tremendous speed, and when sweep
ing alouml the curve, my eye followingthe
track, not over two hundred feet ahead sat
the little fellow playing with a kitten
which he held in his lap. At the sound of
cm appioach ho looked up and laughed,
clapping his little hands in high glee at
the affrighted kitten as it ran from the
track. Quicker than the lightning that
blasts the tall pine upon the mountain
top, 1 whistled “down brakes,” and rever
sed my engine, but knew’ it was impossi
ble to stop. Nobly did that old engine
try to save him. The awful straining and
writhing of its iron drivers told but too
plainly of the terrific velocity we had at
tained. I was out of the cab window and
down on the cow-catcher in a flash. The
little lei low stood still ; I motioned him
off and shouted ; his little blue eyes open
ed wide with astonishment, and a merry
laugh was upon his lips. I held my breath
as we rushed upon him, made a desperate
attempt to catch him, but, missed, and as
his little bod} passed, I heard the feeble
cry of “mother ! and the forward trucks
crushed his body to atoms.
O God ! that moment ! I may live. sir.
to he an old man, but the agony ot that
moment can never be erased from ray mem
ory. Ihe cars stopped some rods from the
spot, and I ran back as soon as possible.
His mother saw the train stop, and a fear
ful foreboding flashed upon her at once.
THE UPSON PILOT. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1859.
She came rushing frantically to the spot
where we stood. Never shall I forget the
look she gave me as she beheld her first
born a shapeless mass. I would have giv
en my whole existence to have avoided
that moment ! I have seen death in all its
forms on railroads ; and killed—l have seen
all this, but that little innocent boy ! as
he looked up in my face, and was killed
almost in my arms—it unnerved me, and
from that day I made a solemn vow never
to run a locomotive more.
That young mother is now in the Utica
Lunatic Asylum. From the hour her boy
was killed reason bad left her throne.
He stopped, and wiped the tears from
his eyes, and said, “ You may think it
weak in me to shed tears, but I cannot
help it.” “No,” I replied, “but .think it
noble; and, sir, would to God every mau
had a heart as large as yours.”
I have often thought since how few
those who give one passing thought of the
man of strong nerve and stout arm, who
guides them through darkness and storms,
with the speed of the wind, safely to their
journey’s end. They do not for a moment
turn their attention to the iron monster
that is dragging them forward with fear
ful velocity to meet friends or relations, or
home and all its loved ones. They do not
realize that the man who guides the fiery
monster, holds all their precious lives at
his command, and that the least negli
gence upon his part could cause sorrow
and mourning in a thousand homes that
are now waiting the return of absent loved
ones. - B. B. 11.
Another Baby.
BY HANNAH HEMLOCK.
And why not another baby, pray P ain’t
little Tommy three years and a half old,
I’d like to know ? And who has a better
right to have another baby ?
“Oh, ma,” says some bread and butter
Miss, looking up with eyes like two great
coffee saucers—“Oh, ma ! Hannah Hem
lock’s got another baby, why we all thought
she was an old maid !”
Not so fast, my little dear, —I didn’t
say I had another baby—nor did I say I
had another baby—nor did I say I had
any right to have one—but there is ano
ther baby in our corner of the land, anti
it is a fine, fat, bumping, bouncing bov,
full of life and fun ; lie’s got two little
hands, just as natural, and two feet, with
five toes on each one ; and his eyes, which
are blue, very, are placed one on each side
of his little nose—and lie’s such a funny
little fellow, but he can’t talk a word yet
—though he can croiv almost as well as a
young shanghai ; and he’s his father’s dar
ling, and aunt Hannah loves to take him
once in a while, and jump him up and
down ; you should hear him crow. Y es !
and we’ve got a jumper, areal patent Chi
nese baby jumper for him ; bless those
long-cued, yellow-skinned Chinese, they
are good for something, after all, and when
he gets a little bigger iie shall have a Lob
by horse and a hobby coic, too, if he wants
it —he shall—and a little hobby dog with
a stum]) tail.
1 don’t see how anybody can object to
another baby, when there are but five in a
family. Bless my heart, in old times we
read of old men who were the fathers of
forty, fifty, sixty, and even seventy babies
—“three score and ten sons, riding on
three score and ten ass colts.” Think of
that, will you ! That looks like doing
something for one’s country ; that presents
a pretty fair invoice of stock both in the
house and on the farm. And then look at
our country —the home of the universal
Yankee nation ; ain’t this a good land for
babies ? True, we may not boast of any
children as big as Anal'c, nor have wc any
real live Sampsons among us—but I’d like
to see the country that boasts of any surer ;
crop than we do. Already we have in
creased from three to thirty millions of
people ; and we ought to have had twice
as many, and might, too, just as well as
not if our fathers had imitated the patri
arch's ; and are they not set before us for
our emulation ?
Now I hold that it costs less to raise our
own citizens than it does to import them
over the water. We do claim to he a great
nation, yet England, Ireland and Germa
ny are raising more babies every year with
which to stock and subdue and cultivate
Uncle Sam’s farm, than we are raising for
ourselves. Hurrah, that, for the babies—
for toe five-toed, two-fisted, double-eyed,
crowing, jumping, real American babies,
who shall suck milk and patriotism from
their mother’s breasts in mixed quantities
of just about half and half; so that while
they grow in stature they may increase in
love of country, as well as love of pap. —
Just look at England and her queen !
They have got but one crown and one
throne, and yet little Vic has presented her
loved country with some—l think thirteen
babies —that looks like doing something.
Then look at our present Uncle Sam—not
a child in the world— nary baby —and no
hopes of any.
I’m in favor of just as many babies as
there are mothers to tend them, andYath
ers to supply them, and I do think as the
greatest and freest nation on the globe, we
have been setting a most miserable exam
ple to the world by electing so many child
less Presidents ; and if I were a member
of the national convention, no man, demo
crat or republican, could get my vote, un
less lie could show the title to at least one |
baby.
V hy is the husband of a scolding wife
and lather ol a household of er vi n g chi Id re n
like a Railroad ? Because he has a great
many cross-ties.

PROSPECTUS OF
TUE
SOCTHERX FIELD and FIRESIDE,-
A Weekly Literary and Agricultural Pa
per, to be published in Augusta, Ga.
r PHIS is the title of a AA'eekly paper, devoted to Ag
-L riculture, Literature and Art. which 1 design to pub
lish in Augusta. Ga. It will be in quarto form of eight
l>ages. folio -i/.e—each i-xte to contain forty columns
of matter. It will be in general style similar to, and
in size somewhat larger than, the New York Ledger.—
It will be published on good book paper, and will be
in mechanical execution in the best style of the typo
graphical art. In utility, it will be all that the best ag
ricultural science and practical knowledge the South
can furnish. .V weekly visitor to the homes of South
ern planters and fanners, it will be more useful and ac
ceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal
merit.
In mental attractions it will be all that a spirit of en
terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the
part oi others, can evoke from Southern intellect and
cultivation.
Too long the Southern people have been content to
look to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricul
tural matters, and to Northern literary papers for men
tal recreation. There i<. however, a growing spirit of
independence and of self-reliance at the South. Our
people are awaking to the conviction that we have the
elements ot success in the experience, knowledge, and
scientific investigation, of tlie dwellers in our own
Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us. that
we have literary resources of our own worthy to be fos
tered—that among Southern writers should be divided
some portion of that vast stream of Southern money
that flows perpetually northward to sustain Northern
literature.
My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle
of information useful to Southern planters and farmers,
and a lepositorv of Southern thought, imagination, and
taste. In the realms of Literature and Art: and to ob
tain lor it such an extent of patronage and success as
will justify the most liberal compensation to all its con
tributors. Able and experienced Editors are engaged,
and steps are in progress to secure contributions from
the most pleasing Southern writers, of both sexes.—
Much latent talent will be brought to light, and furnish
some agreeable surprises to Southern people.
“Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,”
will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen
erous glow of pride in Southern genius.
The Agricultural Editor will be Dr. Daniel Lee, the
distinguished Professor of Agriculture in the Universi
ty of Georgia—editor for many years past of the South
ern Cultivator, and a leading contributor to many Nor
thern agricultural journals of the highest reputation.
The Literary Editor will be Mr. \V. AY. Mann, of this
city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste and scholar- !
ly attainments, who, having retired from the active du
ties of the legal profession, spent many years in Eu- j
rope, and was for several years the Paris Correspon- i
dent of the National Intelligencer, and Southern Lite
rary Messenger.
The Southern Field and Fireside will combine the
useful and the agreeable. It will furnish the Southern
farmer information useful in every field he cultivates,
and the Southern family choice literature, the offspring
of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every tire
side. It will be. in all respects, a first class paper—on
a scale of expenditure more liberal than lias yet been
attempted in the South, and designed to rival in its
merits the most distinguished of the North.
The first number will be issued on the 28th day of
May next.
Terms—Cash in advance, $2 00 a year.
Bills current in the State from which they are sent,
received at par.
Postmasters will be allowed fifteen per cent, on the
amount of subscriptions obtained by them.
On all subscriptions exceeding twenty, sent from one
office, twenty-live per cent, will be allowed.
In addition to this commission, a premium of one
hundred dollars will be paid to that Postmaster, in each
ot the following States, who sends the largest number
of subscribers, with the money, by'tlie first day of Au
gust next: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala-
Lama am M xsivsipp i.
Other premiums and prizes will be duly announced.
No club rates allowed. No credit allowed in any
case. Contributions solicited from the pens of South
ern writers. A special appeal is made to the ladies of
the South for their patronage and good wishes.
T - Subscriptions received and receipted for at the !
Office of the Constitutionalist, Augusta, Ga. This pa- i
per will be entirely silent on politics. Address
