A Modern Annanias. BY A. .IAX, ESQ. ‘ Oid Steve,' or ‘ lying Stephens,’ as he was familiarly termed, by virtue of a strong original genius, and indefatigable perseverance and ap plication, had acquired the reputation of being the greatest liar that ever existed in the State of therefore, at muster or training, be was sure to be surrounded by a host of listeners, lie great ly excelled the renowned Munchausen who sim ply told extravagant stories, and sometimes blun dered on the truth. Steve, on the other hand, never told a word of truth, even by mistake, in all his life, and lied circumstantially, and in eve ry particular. In short it came to him as natu ral as eating and drinking, or rat her as breathing, for he not only lied to listeners but even when he had no other person to talk to, he would tell lies to himself, just to keep his hand in. This fact was ascertained beyond a doubt, by his de nying it in the most solemn manner when some body accused him of the practice. ,%.It was Mr. Stephens’ good misfortune one time to lose a great deal of money on a horse race. Tnis made him feel uncommonly serious, so be went to a camp-meeting, which was held about five miles from his lesidence, to see it be could make up a little “shaking props” with the hoys. They happened, however to be too much for him that time, and he was completely clean ed out. This made our friend feel if possible more serious than ever and ttosre happened to be a powerful preacher there, who could make him aslf heard at the di tance of a mile, he thought he would turn over a new leal at once. When he got home, therefore the first thing he did was -to send for a minister. The worthy man came and to his amazement found that Stephens wan ted to join the church ! ‘I have no hesitation in laying your proposi tion before the brethren,’ said the good old man, IHfring to smother a laugh. *Ob course you haint, responded Steve, with great confidence. ‘Am! if you could gi ve satisfactorily evidence of the amendment, Mr. Stephens’, continue 1 the minfjter, emphasising the word, ‘they might take you ©i probation; at any rate, we have a meet ing to-night, and can let you know to-morrow.’ ‘Probation be d dogged !’ ejaculated Steve as the minister hastily retreated; ‘why can’t they let me jine at once, while I feel likejt?’ ‘The proposition as might have been expected, created a real sensation. There was hardly a member of the church male or female "tvho had not at some time or other, been victimised by Stephens’ slanderous tongue and they could 9 hardly bear his name with patience. Some of them went so far ?s to say that if he joined they •would leave, and that settled the matter, for they were among the ‘fore-handed’ members who could not afford .to lose them. However to avoid any trouble with the unscrupulous feilow like Steve it was resolved to breathe the matter 9 to him as leas'l y?s possible. Two of the most respectable men in the church were appointed to call on him. and it was generally undeistood, wa* their known mildness of disposition, thatfevery possible excuse consistent with truth wouil be made for not receiving him. jjSps* rest of the story must be told in Steve’s own words. p ‘When old Deacon Peabody came along I sot Brin the back door with a hoe-handle, and 1 hope |F to suffer if I wasn’t mad enough to rare right r up A cousin of my wife’s, whose sister was a member, had come over ami told us all about it.’ ‘Good morn in’, Mr. Stephens,’ says the old hyprocrite, with a face as long as a yard of pump water. I said nothing, but kept on w’hitling. ‘I came dow T n to see you this morning, says he. ‘Wal,’ says 1, how do you like my looks?’ a* ‘O,’ says he, ‘what I mean is, that 1 came down to labor with you.’ u. ‘Work away then, why don’t you?’ was all he got out o’me. ‘But, Mr. Stephens,’ said he very solemnly, ‘the church sent me down to talk with you a minute.’ ‘Wal, you’ve bin laiffin for more than five min ute-?. Deacon Peabody, says I, and you’ve said nothin yet, now when are you goin ? to begin?’ The old Israelite looked mad enough to bite my head off at a snap, but he thought it best to keep cool, so he drew a long breath and went on. ‘ifobody wants to hurt your feelings, or make any trouble, Mr. Stephens, but the church have comej to the conclusion, that perhaps on the whole, under the circumstances, and in view of everything it might be best all round, and taking all things into consideration, for you not to be hasty in applying jist at present. They think on mature reflection, that it might be as well if you’4«onclude to postpone it a little while, say year or eighteen mouths.’ dew 1 Wal, now Deacon, what makes think so? The church ain’t full is it *’ was a hard question. The oid sarpent knew very well that it wouldn’t answer to say hrfdidn’t know—for he knew last enough—and knew that I knerv he did. So says he: Kj!Mr. Stephens, I’m sorry your’e so riled about it ; you’ve no occasion, I didn’t come to offend ; E you know as well as I do why the church don’t accept you.’ m ‘lf I knew, I wouldn't ask you to tell me, Dea lt djpon Peabody.’ E? ‘ Well,’ says he ‘don’t you know’ what large korics you’re in the habit of telling V » ‘ Who says I tell large stories !’ says I ; it’s an ontruthand you can’t pruve it ain’t." Now, ain’t it a shame for a man like you to go around scan dalizing a neighbor that way ? What a story of mine did you ever hear that wasn’t true ! Come, lay year finger on the first story and I won’t say another word.’ ‘Wby, there’s so many on ’em answered the Deacon, ‘that it is almost onpossible to specify any one in particular. But now I think on’t; dou’t you remember that story you told about your father being killed by a bear V 'My father being killed by a bear?’ says I; there it is now’! That’s just the way folks lie about me ! It’s an ontruth, like the rest on ’em and you ought to be ashemed, Deacon Peabody, to be running round tel tin’ things that ain’t so.’ ‘Well,’s»ii be pretty short, “ you made that ’ere observation about often enough; if you did’nt say your father we 9 killed by a bear, what was it you did say P ‘i’ll tell you: I said that father was one of the first men to bring sheep into this tovVn, and that’s no story, is it?’ *No,? said he, it ain’t.’ ‘And l said that one day he lost one of them ere sheep in the woods—and that’s likely, if it ain’t true—and when he was looking lor it, 1 said he came across a bear. The bear growled at dad, and he hollowed at the bear; and finall y the beast came at him, and tore all his insides cut, and ttien your father, Deacon Peabody—who wes a respectable man, sir, and would never a gone about town scandalizing his neighbors— your father heard my father holler and came up, and seeing how matters stoed, ran for the doctor. When the doctor came, the first thing he did was to catch a sheep and cut its inside out and put them in the place of dad's and 1 never said dad was killed by that bear?’ No, sir! I told the naked truth. I said he grew as well as ever he was, except that he hankered after hay alt the winter,and had wool enough gooum to make aim an orlrcoct in the spring! You don’t call that a large story, 1 hope. If you wont let a fellow jine the chuich because he tails the truth, you wont find many decent members, L guess!” The oiu man riz right up and walked away without saying a word. What he thought I never could find out, for the old Christian has not opened his head to me since.— Carpet Bag.

Oid Major Dash, who won his brevet in the war of 1812, was suddenly taken down with the cholera. It was at the time of its ap pearance on this continent, and our physicians had very little experience. The Major sank rapidly, and a consultation was called. Several doctors, after “putting their heads together came to the conclusion that the patient was fatally i sick, past recovery. No one, however, would i make the announcement; when the Major, sus pecting thp case, turned to a young doctor pre sent, and said, “what is the report?” if “That you can’t live,” | “Not a chance?” asked the Major with severi ty. “Yes,” continued young hopeful, “just one chance in a hundred thousand.” ‘ Then, why the don’t you work away on that chance?” returned the Major, with a voice of thunder.

[From (he Savannah Republican , 19/A ms?.j Yellow Fever Treatment.' The following letter from Dr. Daniel Hook, of Atlanta, to his lriend Dr. S. D. Brantley, of this city, in his reply to an enquiry made by the lat ter gentleman as to Dr. H.’s mode of treatment yellow fever. In lurnishing us this letter for publication, Dr. Brantly remarks: “Dr. Hook’s long experience and known ability in the pro session, as well as his great success in the treat ment of yellow fever in Augusta in 1839, make his opinion valuable, and in the hope that I may render some service to the afflicted of Savannah, the home of my recent adoption, I have, through his them and hope you will give them to the public.” The treatment of Dr. H., we learn, is the same as that adopted and now in successful prac tice by the Faculty here. Atlanta. Sept. 15th, 1854. Dr. S. D. Brantley : My Dear Sir:—Your favor of yesterday, re ceived this morning, asking me for the mode of preventing and treatment of yellow fever, which I found most successful in Augusta in 1839, I answer at once, to manifest my sympathy with our suffering fellow-citizens of Savannah, and in the humble hope that 1 may thereby do some good. In reference to the prevention of this/ell dis ease, I shall make but three remarks, as*my ex j perience is very limited: Ist. Holding the opin ion that it is of a congestive character, I have always proposed to meet its insidious approach by revulsion—or, in other words, by mustard bath to the leet, and free potations of sage tea or other unirritating diaphoretic drink. 2d. I suc ceeded in keeping it off in my own case, in ’39, until the 2d of October, by drinking lreely of tea whenever langnox or a check of perspiration admonished me of its approach. 3d. My driver was preserved throughout the whole season by the above, and the advice not to sit down or loi ter in the houses or the shade of the houses, but to be in his carriage or walking about in the streets when not employed. Entertaining the conviction that the yellow fever proximately depended upon congestion of important organs—most commonly of the ab donainal viscera, I directed my mind wholly to this’ condition, and regulated the treatment ac cordingly. It wes, therefore, very simple. It wes, first, to overcome the collapse induced by the congestion—secondly, to remove the effects of this collapse and congestion, high fever and suppression of natural secretions; and, thirdly, to prevent the recurrence of the congestion. As soon as I went to Augusta to aid the afflicted, I requested all who desired my services to send for me immediately on the commencement of the attack, and it gives me much satisfaction to say that no one died of the many that thus called me. No treatment do t consider as promising uniform success, unless it is rt sorted to in the first stage of the disease. My first object, as may be inferred from the above, was to produce reaction—that is, to re call the circulation to the surface and to the ex tremities. No means, to this end. in*my judg ment, are to be compared, in excellence, to mus tard baths and plasters. These w r ere used instant ly, and continued until the desired effect was fully produced. The baths w’ere hot and very strong —they w’ere also put in the deepest vessel at hand, so as to immerse as much of the legs as possible. At the same tune the plasters were applied over the stomach and to the arms and thighs. During this effort at revulsion, nothing was administered but ice water or other cooling drinks. No stimulant whatever was allowed ! As soon as full reaction was produced, to abate the level and to restore the natural secretions, one large dose of calomel was administered. If there was any apprehension of distress of the stomach, it was given in divided portions, every hour or two until the whole dose was taken. This dose usually exceeded twenty grains. It it operated well, nothing else was necessary—if not, a little castor oil, of a large tepid water injection became i dispensible. In this process, no stimulant was allowed, and indeed, nothing but the cooling dsi#ks of the fust stage. The least tendency to a return of the congestion was promptly met by a return to the mustard applications ! As a gen eral thing, full reaction was a certain indication ot cure, but sometimes the reaction was exces sive, and then sponging with cold water was a most valuable addition to the cold drinks. lam very much inclined to think, from subsequent | experience in typhoid fever and typhoid dysen j tery, that the wet sheet would be more beneficial than even the sponging with cold water. In most cases—perhaps in every one where re action-was produced in one or two hours from the commencement of the attack—there wa- an abatement ot the lever as soon as the medicine ' began to operate, or very soon thereafter, and then my purpose was to brace up the system to j prevent the recurrence of congestion. With this view from two to five grains of quinine were given every hour, according to the emergency of the case. I know no substitute for this valuable j article. It should be given to the extent of ! twenty, thirty, forty or fifty grans if the case be j very alarming—but to protect the brain, I greatly prefer giving it in small doses, and repeating I until the requisite quantity is given. The uni form heat of the body, the natural feeling of the ; skin, full soft and slow with the healthy ! character ol the perspiration, will indicate the i time when it may be dispensed with. It should be given mixed in water, dissolved in water with j acid, or made into pills with molasses, honey, or some syrup that readily dissolves. I have seen life endangered by the quinine passing through the system undissolved. The best adjuvant for quinine, is occasionally to bathe the feet in mus- I tard water, and to drink sage tea, with the view i of promoting perspiiation. No stronger stimulant j than sa.-e tea and quinine should be used through out the whole treatment. Opium, brandy, &c. ; are fatal in their effects. j One other lemark, and I shall have said all j that I deem important or proper, in view of the ! object you have named—that of benefilting those ! who cannot secure a physician. It is this that the foiegoing course was pursued whether called late or early to a case; but I must be candid enough to repeat, that it was only when resorted to in the first hours of the attack that it was unifornily succe. ffui. I may however add, that I found it more successful than any other treatment in any stage of the disease. With much respect and kindness, I remain your friend, Dan’l Hook. ! t Quackeiy. \\ hat is the reason that “ Quackery, as it is termed, thrives and waxes while the “scien ; and 4 ' truthful'’ struggle on, and with difficulty keep above the troubled tide of popular I favor? The human system being “ fearfully and I wonderlully made, 7 ’ to keep it in repair has been ! the study of the wisest minds through all times j and yet the experiences of the sages have very I little weight with the multitude of natients.— I Specific remedies for the complicated ills of hu manity are the absurdest thing in the world; yet men quickly make princely ioi tunes by the’ sale of medicines that are warranted to thread the mazes of our wonderful “ temple,” and lind out and destroy pain, as a weasel after rats does the dark holes and out-of-the-way places in a decay ; ing building.

The manufacturer of celebrated “ Life Pills” died at the premature age of thirty. Yet these remedies are popular nevertheless; for so strange ■ and incomprehensible is human nature that it will pay a premium for being humbugged. The galen who calls things by their right names, and tries to be honest with his patieuts, is generally whistled down the wind, having but little other ! reward for bis labor than the approval of a good conscience; the palaces and the “seven story stores” are the inheritance of the vendeis of specifics—the very people who, in spite of the j proverb, advertise to do more impossible things j than make silk purses out of sows ears! Fire at the Rail Road Depot. About llj o’clock, on Sunday night the alarm of fire was given, which was soon ascertained to be occasioned by the burning of a couple of cars at the deopt of the Central R. R. They w’ere ready to start the next morning, destined along the line of that Road, and its chains ot communications as far as Nashville, Tenn. The freight was in great part consumed, and the rest rendered valueless. The flames were prevented from spreading by uncoupling cars, and rolling ! them back on the track. In the immediate vi- i cinity ol the flames was a powder-machine which fortunately was untouched. The cars were rendered useless, the wheels being cracked by the heat. The goods destroyed were all des tined for Tennessee, and would have gone by the same cars to Nashville. Great credit is due to Mr. James White, the shipping clerk at the depot, for his prompt ex ertions and efficient services occasion.— He it was, who unhitched the cars while in flames, and he was also the first to give the alarm of fire. m We deeply regret to add that Mr. Harrison, one of the carpenters employed at the Rail Road, was seriously injured while assisting in separa ting the cars, by being crushed, between the bumpers of the two cars, one of them striking him in front and the other in the back. Great fears are - entertained for his safety. There is little doubt that the lire was set pur posely. Two persons, suspected of having a hand in the business, have been arrested and are now lodged in jail, awaiting an examina tion. The opportunies for roguery, in the present distressed condition of our city, are too good to be neglected by the set of vagabonds who have been lately and are now, prowiiug about our streets night and day. It behooves our citizens to be on the watch.— Sav. News , 19/A inst. New York Steamers. —We are happy in being able to announce the re-opening of regu lar steam communication with the North.

Provision iPanic.— We cannot doubt that the growing crop in the United States, will fall short of its usual average. Still with proper care and economy -we believe each State will have enough, in connection with an abundant oat crop, for its own consumption. Wheat and rye straw carefully sheltered or stacked afiords lor stock a very good substitute for fodder or corn blades. The present prospect in this sec tion is very good lor a luxurant crop of crab grass, which if cut in the mild and cured with caie, will save many nubbins to the crib, and prevent many a sigh at the stall. Look well then to all these secondary but important crops, and by the blessing ot a kind Providence, there, will yet be plenty for man and beast. We be lieve there is too great a panic in the country upon this subject ot the provision crop. Cot J. Watson Webb, who is now in England, writes to the New York "Courier that in three months, or before Christmas, wheat will have fallen from 65 to less than 45 shillings per quarter. This lact will have a salutary effect upon the supply of provisions in this country. Let the specula tors then look out. — Milledgcville Recorder. Pleasant Incident. —Whilst in Hancock a few days ago, we heard a pleasant incident re lated ol Bishop Pierce. A company had assem bled to enjoy a social greeting, and partake of a barbecue, peihaps at Double Wells, when the Bishop unexpectedly ariived upon the cars, and was waited upon and urged to make the company a speech, agricultuial, political, religious or mis cellaneous, as he might prefer. Fresh from the classic groves, he gave them an eloquent har rangue upon his lavoiite theme, education, and took up a collection, for the establishment of a female high school in Hancock. Some eight hun dred or a thousand dollars were subscribed"on the spot, which sum has been largely increased since. The necessary buildings will soon be erected, and the institution will go into operation with very cheering prospects of success. We learn it will be located about five rn.les from Sparta on the W arrenton road. So much for social gather ings and impromptu orators.— lb. Important Despatches Concerning th. 9 Pur chase of Cuba, etc. Washington, Sept. 14, 1854.

There is no particular necessity for my vouching for this statement, in these slippery diplomatic times, but my authority is good—the very best—lor the whisper at any rate, there is no mistake about that. What is more, it is said that England and Frafice,and especially the latter, favor the sale (nm motives of sou fid international policy.— Strange as all this may appear to those who w'ill not believe in the purchase of the Queen of the Antilles, I have an opinion—an individual opin ion—that the purchase has been made.

It appears that a young man by the name of Cyrus H. Larkin was mar ried the evening before, and his acquaintances made up a party for a Charivari. Assembling round the house they struck up with bells, tin pan and instrumental accompaniments, when a gun was twice discharged in, their midst from a window, taking effect upon young Adams 5 , who instantly fell. He was removed to his father’s residence, when it was found that two buckshot had entered his forehead. He lingered until Saturday night when he died. A jury was sum moned, and brought in a verdict that the deceas ed came to his death by shots fired from Mr. Lar kin’s house, by some persons or persons un known to the jury. It was proved before the jury that Mr. Larkin borrowed the gun for the purpose of shooting at the party if they cam : to his house. Both of these young men had resi j ded for a long time in Elgin, belonged to highly respectable lamilies, and were esteem 2d as quiet | and exemplary young men. The affair has cast | a gloom over the place, and clouded a life which was glowing with hope and happiness. The Yellow Fever. —The Charleston Stan dard, of the 20th inst., says:—We ar»j sorry to perceive from the report of the C\ty B“gister that the number of deaths from th< 3 epidemic for the past twenty-four hours has gr eatly exceeded that of any one day since the a s pearance of the disease amongst us. This inerf a se is no doubt attributab'e to the very unfav' jra ble state of the weather, the change of which have been so very sudden within the past fev / days. We are iu hopes, however, that the d isease has reached its climax, and that we willi row be able to note its steady decrease, until it. .shall have entirely dis appeared from our midst, and our city again as sume its wonted activity.

Pittsburg, Sept. 17.— The Cholera in Pitts burg.—There were 45 deatrs in this city to-day. ’ There is no abatement in the disease, f f The Effects of the Late Storm. —We . have reason to fear lrotn various accounts and private letters which we have seen, that the in jury to the rice crop by the late storm, is even i greater than was at first supposed. Some plan r ters who went to their plantations even for a day, 1 were compelled to leave immediately on ac count of the stench and of the spoiled and dacay ’ ing rice. Others have given prompt direc*ions * for the removal ot their negroes into tents in the r pine lands. Private lePeis from the Ogeechee river say that the whole crop of that river will not exceed fifty thousaud bushels, less than one fourth the usual crop, which he believes is near three hundred thousand bushels. To this falling off in the quantity of the crop the loss in quality must also be added; much of the rice which is saved must come to market in a damaged* state. It will be necessary that due caution be observed on this head. Let us, if pos sible, avoid introducing the cholera after the fever. We remember well that after the freshet of two years ago, the cholera along the coast and some similar cases in Charleston, were attributed to the mse of damaged rice. It were well, therefore, that the planters knew early that proper steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence of thie disaster. Thus the careful planter who prefers to save a little that is sound rather than unsound, will be sure of a good price for the little which he may save, and the careless or unsuspeetting consumer may be saved trom the use of unwhole some food.— Char.

So efficacious wero they in all cases of Liver complaint, that they be came famous, and attracting,tho attention of the medical faculty, passed into general use. They act with great certainty and regularity; the patient almost immediately feels the dispersion of his dis ease, and is gradually rostored to health. With some tho effect is almost miraculous, frequently ex periencing immediate relief, after having tor months resorted to drugs and medicines of another descrip, tion, in vain. Diseases of tho Li ver are very com mon in this country, and are often frightful in character.
