The following unique and beautiful ‘Meditation on smoking Tobacco” was, written two hundred years ago by Rev. Rulph Ershire, of Scotland. It is like good wine that improves with age : This Indian weed, now withered quite, Tho’ green at noon, cut down at nig tit, Shows thy decay ; All flesh is hay. Thug think tobacco. The pipe, bo lily-like and weak. Does thus thy mortal gtatc Uspjak. Thou art even such, Gone with a touch. Thus think and smoke tobacco. And, when the smoke ascends on high, Then thou beholds the vatmy Os wordry stuff Gone with a puff Thug think, and smoke tobacco. And, when the pipe grows full within. Think ot thy son! defiled with sin, For then the fire It does require, Tbns think, and smoko tobacco. And seest the ashes cast nway ? Then to thyself thou mayestsay, That to the dust Return thou must Thus think, and smoke tobacco. . The Bread-Fruit Tree- Did you ever hear of a tree hearing glue and towels aad cloth und tinder and bread ? There is just such a won der. It is found on the Pacific Islands, and is called the Bread-fruit tree—und this is how it looks : It is about forty-feet In height, or as high as an ordinary three story dwell ing-house ; its trunk grows to be nearly one foot in diameter or thickne>«, and the branches come out straight from* the tree, like dozens of outstretched arms, long at first, but getting shorter and .shorter as they near the top These are furnished with beautiful dark green leaves, nearly two feet long, and deeply gashed at the edges ; while half hidden among them is the fruit, growing like apples on short stems, but huger, and with a thick, tough, yellow rind. This fruit is very like bread, or as some describe it, like penny-rolls ; and as it is in setfson during eight months of the year, the natives during that time have no other kind of bread. They “ gilttoeritfwlvite it is green, as soon as it attains its full size, and bake it, just as it is, in an oven. Scraping off its 'outer blackened crust, they come to the loaf, which has no hard seed nor stone inside, but is very like pure, white wheaten. (bread. The only trouble is. they must eat it soon after the baking, because in a few hours it grows harsh and choky ana loses its present taste. But just think how pleasant it must be to be able, during eight months of the year, rto gather one’s loaves from tho tree all ready for baking ! As for the glue; that is a kin<l of sticky fluid which oozes from the trunk, and is found very useful for many purposes; the leaves make excellent towels for the few natives who care to wash their hands and faces ; and from the inner bark a kind of coarse cloth is made which makes capital every day garments. 11-abides this, the dried blossoms are us ed for tinder in lighting fires, and the wood of the tree is in great demand for building huts and boats and rough bridges. So you see no part of the bread-fruit tree grows in vain. ‘Per haps this could be said, in some sense, of every kind of tree —though really there arc not many that accomplish as much as this. CußiSToriiEß Columbus. —There is a rumor gaining ground in Europe that the next CEcurnetiical Council will take preliminary steps to canonize the first discoverer of America. If genious, perseverance and sutler' ings entitle any man to that exalted honor, no one doserves it more fully than Christopher Columbus, and the whole American continent, would greet such an act of tardy justice with joy and gratitude. This brings us to another rumor— and that appears a well authenticated qne—on the subject of this great man. It has always been held that Colum bus was a Genoese by birth, but the exact place of said birth has never been precisely located. It now appears that Columbus was a native of the town of Cabre, in Corsica, then a depend ncy ot the powerful Republic of Genoa, arid that it was by reason of said dependen cy that he was considered and was in fact a Genoese citizen or subject. Corsica has been incorporated with France for more than a century, and to day the French lay claim to the birth• place of the illustrious discoverer* In 840 it was asserted that his certificate of baptism had been discovered iir the archives of the parochial church of that small town, and the theory seems to be the moro plausible from the fact that the name of Columbus is a very com mon one in Corsica, where numbers of families have for generations past claim ed the honor of being the descendants of the great navigator, and that in those families the Christian name of Cbristofo ro or Christofora is invariably bestowed on their first born, while, on the other band, there appears no trace in Genoa of descendants of Columbus. It would be strange if the same pet ty island has gived birth to the discoV' ercr of the New World and to the con queror of the Old.— Mobile Tribune.

The following letter to the New York Evangelist, contains ‘information of great interest to many in durßouthern country. The editor of that paper states that it is from the superintendent of a Chinese Sabbath school in San Francisco, and hence its statements may be received with all confidence. Our exchanges may find in itjmattcr of inter est also to their readers. The writer says: “I am a.ll the time receiving let ters from all parts of the United States, asking questions, all of which are an swered in this article; and it is impos sible to answer them in any other way. It would require tiie greater part of a»y time.” San Francisco, Sept. 24, 1869. To the Editors of the Evangelist: Your journal of June 29th has been -placed in my hands, containg an article oa ‘‘‘Asiatic Emigration,” very just in the main scope of its conclusions, but in it occurs the following passage : “The people of California who have had most experience of the Chinee nre bitterly* opposed to them. They declare them to be tho lowest and vilest of mankind,” etc., etc. I will eodeavor to rectify your impressions of the people of Cali fornia, by stating accurately the status of the Chinese here. On the evening of September 16th, there was a noisy de monstration made from the gallery of the California Theatre on the entrance of the gentlemanly, distinguished and highly educated merchants, Fung Tang and Ohoy Chew, who came by invita tion of a most respected American cili zen, and took seats in a private box. — But while the gallery hooted and yelled to the manager to turn out the “cursed Chinese,” the boxes dress-circle and parquet took sides with the Orientals, and warmly sustained the manager iu "his decision.to keep tho Chinese mer chants in their seats, and his firm refu sal to turn them out. The boxes, dress circle and parquet are occupied by re spectable - citizens, many of them with ladies, while the gallery is tilled by eight-hour leagues of the low-Irish type, with a large sprikling of boys, shoulder hitters, thieves, dog fighters, cock fight ers, loafers and “bummers.” 1 have ta ken hold of this incident to show you what part of the people of California hate tho Chinese, and that your expres sions are too general and need qualifica tion. The class who occupied the gale ry on the*occasion hero referred to have had, unfortuna ely. influence enough upon our legislation, when acting in concert with the miners, all bitterly anti-Chinese, to refuse the latter any protection in our laws, and to extort from them a miner’s license of $2 per month for allowing them to work "in the placers diggings. They are wholly ex cluded from the quartz mines. Now I will give you the reasons of all this. Irish house-servants demand $25 und S3O per month- for chamber work ; cooking or general housework The Chinese, who, as soon as they learn a little English, are much superior to the Irish as servants, ask sl2 to sl6; Welch miners get $3 per day ; thfe*Of»F uese offer to do the same work at $1,50. The proprietors dare not employ tho Chinese, because the Welch threaten to burn their works if they are displaced and Chinese substituted. But in the new mines now opened, all hands are Chinese—no displacement there. In manufacturing, the Chinese work for 90 cents per day, and are lodged by the employer, but board themselves. The Irish demand $2 per day for eight hours of poor work, while the Chinese work well ten hours. Therefore, what few manufactures we have, and which are mainly coufined to the manufacture of wire, rope, cigars, boots and shoes, wool e:i cloth, hainessund belting, are ope rated entirely by Chinese. Hence, the hatred which the' Irish have toward them. In the country, the Chinese field hands get $1 per day and board them selves. The Irish demand $2 and board, and to work but eight hours. In the vast fields of .wheat and barley, in the vineyards, fruit-orchards and co cooneries, this itenrof cheap labor de termines the question of profit and loss in the whole year’s business. I wish the secular papers would copy' at least tliis statement of facts from your valua ble paper, and let the whole of the American people see at a glance, whal the Chinese fuss out here in California is all about. The whole matter is em braced in the question of cheap labor.— Th, farmers say they cannot raise wheat to export if they are obliged to pay $3 per day for eight hours of poor work. The v'legrowers and orchard men say the same thing of their prod ucts. Millions of Chinese are leady to come and do all our work out doors and in, at not above 81 per day. ihe Irish say they shall not come. The Chinese are frugal, industrious and temperate. To this they add very great patience. They have go-.d mem cries, quickness of perception and great imitative powers. Tell them how once, and they remember it. They imitate readily whatever they see. Here fine combination of qualit es lor u laoT ler. It is a mistake to suppose tine they all wish to return to China. On the contrary, there is nothing they de- P ;;e so rnuch as to bri"£ here and live and transmit their 'proper, ty. But they dare not do it, became ttiey have no protection whatever in the laws. A Chinaman cannot be a wit ness in any case, civil or criminal, where a white mao is a party. Hence they can be assaulted, robbed, murdered, f„- their bouses burned with impunity, ev L -n in sight of hundreds of their countrymen. Their property can .be taken from them by false swearing in a civil action. A thousand of their countrymen may know all the facts in the case, but it avails nothing. They cannot testify u there is no redress. Hence, Chinamen vil' not buy real estate in California. Tiiey prefer to buy it in British Columbia, where they are protected by the laws, and can make oath in court on an equal ity with British subjects, while bare their mouths are clewed by an eniet ment upon the statute book of Califor- uia, more arbitrary than ever was RO -man edict <?r Venitian code in the \v,rst days of Imperial oppression or power of jealous Venitian Doge. A bitter prejudice has made against them the sweeping accusation that they are all thieves. This is an error. They are neither more nor less thievish than oth er nationalities. What marks them es pecially, is their docile, quiet, orderly, patient industry, and no race of work ers was ever yet known to be a race of thieves, • > Good Behavior. The subject of manners is sadly neg lected in the families of the present day. And in view of . its importance to the welfare of our children, it should have our special attention.. Manners and morals are intimately and inseparably connected. Morals form the basis of character ; mariners are its decorations and the means of its development. Morals are the basis of human laws, the grand regu lators of human governments ; manners are the gildings which soften the asperi ties and will to obedience. Morals are the sotid gold which forms the founda tion of a currency in the community; manners are the small notes ever ready for use, and without which business in tercourse could not be carried on. In a word, “morals are the sun behind a cloud, which, though giving light to the world, lacks the genial force of its shining face ; manners are the agencies that displace the elemd, and reveal the glorious orb, in all its original power.” Manners and morals are, therefore, the complements of each other, and should always be cultivated with equal care both in the family and the school. Morals divorced from manners are cold and repulsive, but when united, they b.'come attractive and pleasing. While manners without morals degenerate in to hypocrisy and become the “whited sepulchre” described in the New Testa ment. In speaking of good behavior, or good manners, we mean civility, courtesy, or politeness. The terms are anonymous. They are accomplishments, and are founded in moral obligation. Good be havior becomes a positive duty. Po liteness gives a charm to social inter course which noihirig else can. Tilt's every one admits, but after all, how lit tle atieutioQ is given in family’ training, to the subject of good manners. In the early history of. our country’, it was not so. Then it was a sufficient guarantee for gentlemanly or ladylike manners that the children had been trained by respectable parents The low and vulgar were not found in good families. But in these latter days, this distinction cannot be made. It is a matter of chance and not of education, that a courteous and respectful young person is found. In the days of our fathers, children treated with deference their superiors is age, station, wisdom and virtue. It is said of the distinguish ed Dr. Edwards that he never entered his own parlor, when his children did not rise in his presence, as a mark of respect and affection. But where now can we find such au instance of civility in the family ? Where now is true po liteness practised by the young in their intercourse with superiors or strangers ? And yet parents are every where anxious to have their children civil and polite. Then let them make special efforts in family training, to cultivate this habit. In no other way,"can the desirable re sult be secured. What then are the elements of true politeness? Good behavior is the off spring of benevolence, and kindness of hearts It aims to make others happy; to smooth down the rough edges in hu man society, and thus prevent friction in human intercourse Some persons seem to put on grace ful manners, as a garment, but the ma jority need special culture. We say to parents, therefore, let no time be lost. Give special attention to the manners of your children, and teach them to regard the little civilities of life ill their every day intercourse with the family, id the school and in society. To secure the best results, you must be an example to these children. If parents indulge rudeness of manners or lan guage, their children will be sure to be emne rude and uncivil. If parents are truly polite und refined, it will be an easy matter to cultivate the same habits iu their children. We shall pursue this subject further. In the mean time, let all interested give it due attention. What Constitutes Hell. —Dr. Nor man Macleod is accredited, in one of our exchanges, with the following : Let the fairest star be selected, like a beauteous island in the vast and shore less sea of the azure heavens, as the fu ture home of the criminals from the earth, and let them possess whatever they most love, and all that it is possi ble for God to bestow ; let them be en dowed with undying bodies, and with minds whicb shall ever retain their in tellectual powers; let no Savior ever p ess His claims upon them; no God n veal Himself to them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon them, no saint ever live among them, no prayer ever be heard within their borders; but let society ex ist there forever, smitten only by the lep rosy of hatred to God, and with utter selfishness as its all pervading and eter nal purpose—then, as sure as the law of righteousness exists, on which rests the Throne of God and the government of tiie universe, a society so constituted must work out for itself a hell of solita ry ami bitter suffering, to which there is no limit except the capacity of a fi nite nature ! Alas 1 the spirit that is without love to its God or its neighbor, is already possessed by a power wbicli must at last create for its own sell—tor ment a worm that will never die, and a fire that can never more be quenched. A farmer, who wished to invest the accumulation of his industry in the United States securities, went to Jay Cooke’s office to obtain treasury notes. The clerk inquired : “What denomination will you have them in sir ?” Having never heard that word used excepting to distinguish religions sects, the farmer, after a little deliberation, re* plied : , A “Well, you may give me part in Old School Presbyterian, to pleaso the old lady, but give me the heft on t in Free Will Baptist.” -Rat Killing by Electricity— ln the Paris sowers the rats swarm by millions Wires insulated by glass feet from the ground and connected with a galvanic battery,, are spread through these subterranean walks. Littlo piec es of roast meat are attached to these wires at short distances, and the rats, by nibbling at the bait, bring down the galvanic shock with terriffic power upon their bodies. Death is instantaneous, the morsels remaining almost intact, ready to lure other victims to destruc tion . CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1869. SAVANNAS CARDS. P. H.

Being prepared by the medical profession, and di vested of all secrecy, physicians in all directions are precribing them in their practice with the most satisfactory results. The editor of the Columbus (Miss.) Sentinel says “We have had occasion to use severed of the Great southern preparations, in our family, and in every instance they gave entire sat isfaction.’’ The Memphis Daily Appeal says : “The superiority of the GREAT SOUTHERN PREPARATIONS is acknowledge by all who have tested them, and we' cheerfully recommend them to our friends throughout the country.” The Memphis Public Ledg-r savs : “The GREAT SOUTHERN PREPARATIONS are prepared and offered by staunch Physicians ol our city, whom/we know ; their Remedies give satislaction, and we cheerful;ly recomm-md them as No 1 Family Medicines.” The Brandon (Miss.) Republican savs : ‘-THE GREirriSDUTHERN PREPARATIONS are prepared by element physicians and sell well in our uiidst,” YOUR SICK WIFE Is rapidly sinking to an eariy grave. Her eyes are growing dim and her cheeks becoming pa'e ; her personal charms are fading and she is less talka tive ; her whole frame is teeble, emaciated and nerv ous ; the least exercise causes short breath-tig and a palpitating heart; she has no appetite, her head aches, hes feet and hands are constantly cold, rhe is restless, uetvous and cross, and everything fails to give relief. Do you know what is the matter with your WIFE OR DAUGHTER who is thus afflicted ? Ask her it she is troubled with any complaint peculiar to her sex Ask her if she is troubled with painful, suppressed or ii reg ular Monthly Periods; ts she has Leucorrhota, or Whites, Chlorosis, or Green Sickness, Falling of the VVomh, Ulcaration ol the Womb, or any of those diseases produced by an irregular action of ike Womb.

We hold hundreds of letters similar to the following: (Extract front the Macoh (Miss.)

Read the following Certifkates from persons of the highest respectability. LIVER COMPLAINT. Rev Dr. C. F. Deems, (Aug. 23d, 1862 ) “ 1 have derived great bentlil from these r ills, and have known mauy families and individuals who have found them very beneficial, and 1 have also known physicians in excellent standing to recom mend them to their patients. For all diseases aris ing from disorders of the liver, I believe they are the best medicine offered to the pub ic.” Rev. John VV. Potter, Snow Hill, N. C., (Jan. 5, 1863,) says : “ For t reive years 1 was a great suf ferer. My liver was diseased. I lost my flesh and strength, and my skin seemed changed in its color by the bile with which my system was overcharged. I became srbject to frequent and violent attacks of bilious cholic, every attack leaving me weaker than its predecessor. The physicians had- been able to palch me op a liltle, but my health was in a deplor able state 1 had taken patent medicines until I was tired of them. Without enerjJ or comfort, I was barely able to go about a little At length I yielded to the earnest persuasion of a fiend and commenced taking the HEPATIC PILLS?, with no confidence in them. They acted like a charm on me. From that hour I have improved. I have persevered in their use, until now, by God’s bless ing, lam well and hearty. I had a negro man, who ns 1 believe, was saved from death by a dose of these Pills. My Doctor’s bill was annually from SIOO to S2OO, but 1 have had no use for a physician since. 1 can confidently recommend them as a su peiior family medicine. DYSPEPSIA. R D. Wallace, Esq., President of the Wilming ton & W’eldou Railroad, (Aug. 3•, lS62)says; “It has been said that Dyspepsia >® our national dis ease. However this may be, it caused me long and severe suffering. Providentially a friend furnished me with a few boxes of the Hepatic Pills, and the use of them has perfected a cure. In my family they have bren used frequently with eminent sue ce-s. Among my acquaintances many cases origi nating from diseased liver, have been relieved and cured by. them. I regard them an invaluable med cine, and take pleasure iu forwarding this volunta sy tribute.” A W. I). Tayl'-r, Esq., Petersburg, Va., (Jan. 12 1839,) s-iys: ‘ln the Spring of 18'; <, I was attack ed with Dyspepsia to such an extent that all my food of every description disagreed with me. I was swollen so 1 had to loosen my clothe o , and night jjlter night I could get no sleep, f tried one or two physicians, and took a good deal of medi cine, but found no re'ief. I purchased one box of the .Southern Hepatic Pills, and the fir.t dose I look 1 tbit relieved, and continued until I took the whole box. lam now entirely we 11, and eat hear tilv, and never have been a'tackcd since. lean safelv recommend these Pills to the Dyspeptic and the community at large.” If you are threatened with Pneumonia, read the following from Capt, W. P. Davis, of Petersburg, V,t.: “ Sympathy lor the suffering prompts me to ee-tity that my servant man was suffering in the last stage of Pneumonia, throwing up matter and blood in great quantities, his case was considered eh lively hopeless, so much so, that there was no medical prescriptions used for bis recovery; I.re garded him as good as dead. Hearing of the great cure- made by the Southern Hepatic Pills,,l thought that I would try an experiment on him ; without any hope of success, however, I gave the Pills in large doses ; in a short time, to my great surprise, there was a change for the better; I continued giv ing them to him, until he became a perfectly sound man. He is now attending to his work with as mucb slrength and vigor as hr ever did. With hia case, and what I have seen and heard of the good effects of these Pills, I do most earnestly recom mend them as the best family medicine I have ever seen or used.” Thev can be sent to any point in the United S'"tea by Mail or Express.

We have examined, carefully the Pianos on exhi bition from New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore and for sweetness of tore, power, touch, mechan ism, and durability,-judging from strength of pla ting, and improvements on the a-graffe treble, as well as the high polished case, we consider the Stit tt Piano decidedly the very best on exhibi.ion.
