Tilings Miscalled Amusements The- pnj'irlnr arnttsvfneulH r>f the day or<* gr.evnusly misnamed, 'i hey should \u! riilled excitements. Tile Anglo Sax ons and the fc\4ts, the races that give character to our American civilization sum! religion know little ot amusements in its proper sense. It does not con tent them. The- dance, lire evening party, the card t ilde, the theatre and opera, the race course, lli6 billiard sa loon and the ten pid alley arc either in their very' nature, or by their almost in variable associations, Excitements of the most unwholesome, inordinate and pernicious sort. Such a party as that g'ven by a prominent New England .Representative in Wasbinglon last win ter, when, after the usual gayeties and feasting and drinking had extended to one o’clock in the morning, we are told “the German” was commenced and kept up till near daybreak and the whole was finished by a champagne breakfast—could this be rightly called nmuseweot ? By no means. It was a piece of real business, of the hardest and most trying nature, cruel to body and soul, as severe a draft upon the nerve-force as a forced march, or a to tal route and pell-mell retreat ot an army. Nay, we believe the downright butchery of a battle-field is less barba rous and more truly amusing than the orgies of such a first-class all night par ty at the Metropolis. Tire theatre is olso the scene of wearying, demorali zing, embruting excitement, more en feebling and corrupting than a miasm. The fierce passions, the gorgeous lewd ness, the unmitigated seusuahty of spectacle and costume and situation and plot of the staple performances of the drama, —what refreshment is there in all this, what refreshment inde,d on the Very crater of hell, inhaling the sul phurous fumes of the pit? Men do not go to those places for the innocent and wholesome thing properly called amusement, they go for excitement.— They go not to be entertained, but to be inflamed. Bo in games, which of themselves are iuooceat, and pure, as billiards ami nine pins, (we cannot include cards, as the element of chance enters too largely in to the game) Americans are not c«>n tdnt until, by connecting the excite ments of betting, loss and gain of money, and above all, drinks, with the piny, they have fairly shut it on. of the list of amusements and make it a snare to character and possessions, a swill pack to dissipation and ruin. Amusement, relaxation, innocent gay oty, hiliarity, sportiveness, is a gospel duty. There is a time to laugh. Bui it is one of the gravest mistakes of our age and country, that it knows so little of amusements, and has gone almost exclusively into dissipation in their steud. With that, the true Christian plainly has nothing to do, but >o dis countenance, and if the way is hedged up against reformation, to withdraw from it utterly. Dissipation is not among things indifferent. Gay parties lasting till past midnight, in wflieh ev crybody is overdressed or undressed, in vv hich dances handed down from those of the children of Israel around the Golden Gulf, are tho main attractions; theatres,, operas and races, these are not amusements, but gross abuses,' by w hich, in the false guise ol amusement, body and-soul are damaged, spiritually, rendered impossible and our eternal well-being put in jeopardy. Toward* nil these, a Christian has but one sim ple duty. Touch not, taste not, hand'e not. Come out from among them a. and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not tho unclean thing. —American Presbyterian. Rigor for Young Life- Lite is an cnrnost buttle. It is nu triflo to have a nature fearful and won derJ'ully made—strong desires that must be regulated, enormous exposures that must bo avoided, fatal urodivitios that must be resisted and overcome. And therefore it is that vve so much need that early training, that early discipline which it is hard to see whether parent.- and governors are more slow to apply or children and youth more reluctant to receive. Lot the fault lie where it will, it is a fatal fault. Success, usefulness, virtue, happiness, peace, salvation, heav en—all depend upon onr entering life fitly armed in euitab’e harness; with proper convictions as to what the expo sures, dangers and temptations of bodv and soul are, and with such settled rules, habits and principles, such h training conscience, such an established rover ence for God and duty, as must deprive the world of all its power to deceive and betray. Those of ns who arc parents should remember that it is we who put the har ness on our children. They don’t gird themselves. It is we, then, who are ma'idy responsible for its strength, its loose, ill-fitting character. In our ten rit-rnces wo refuse to draw the buckles where they vviil hold, and if the sho ,1- dor chafes or redd..: “» ever so little with the f rap, we are the ' «t to remove it. We arc sorry to think that the young must contract its inspirations beneath so sturdy a coat. We lift the sandals an plead for the feet that lira to press their ruUgh seams ; but where are our recollections that we do nnt think of the sharpness of the spear that that heavy corselet i-i to resist; the weight of t|ie battle- ixe that leathern head piece is to annul, the roughness of the hard road those stout shoes are to make smooth ? It is not because of the len derness of the flesh that we need our leathern mail, and are we to dread our armor mine thau our enemy ? This is lice miscalculation of life; the sacrifice of our lifelong safety to our immediate convenience; of onr whole usefulness and honor and triumph as men and wo men to onr short season of carelessness, self indulgent, negligent happiness, anu freedom from self-imposed restarint as boys and girls, young men and maidens. The Suez Canal Opening— Suez, No vnnber 21, via Alexandria. —The iuaugu ration fleet has arrived here. None were obliged to employ pilots ; the only difficulty experienced was in conse quence of the numbers. Some crowded upon tho banks, but got off without trouble, the sandy bottom neiiher hol ding nor hurting them. On leaving Ismalin, several steamers fouled with each other, but with no serious damage. Tho water in the canal between this place and Ismalia is twenty feet at its shallowest point; these points can easi ly be deepened. Steamers drawing fif teen feet can navigate the canal from Port Said to 8m z with ease, in fifteen hours. The wnte' docs not wash a.way the banks, as much as apprehended.— r J he complete success of the great work escetds all expectation. Tho canal is now clear of shipping, the entire fleet having anchored in the harbor of Suez. On I huisduy the fleet will start on its return. The Empress Eugine returns through the canal with the fleet, her yacht, the Aiglo, taking the lead. -losh Billings says : “Give the devil his due, reads well enough in a proverb ;” but proceeds to inquire, very pertinently, “what will become uv you and me if this arrangement is carried out V* Biuyjfsiho for Grant. —Did lie dine, wine atid smoke w ith his “colored frieDd and brother?” Isy telegraph we have the following: .Responding to the Haytien Minister, (colored,) President Grant said: “Gen tlemen—lf any proof were wanting of the unfounded character of the preju dices, which until recently pervaded at ieast parts of this country against, the ra.ee from which you are sprung, it might be found in the high tone and policed style of the remarks which you have just uttered. That, however, like all similar preju dices, no matter how deeply implanted, must sooner or latter yield to the force of truth. The throes by which the new birth here was accompanied was, in deed, agonizing, and their effects even now are scarcely over. Prominent statemen, however, have neglected no fit opportunity for sanctioning and so curing, by law, those privileges for your kinsmen which have been the in evitable and natural result of our great civil convulsion. Among them is their right employment of abroad as well as at home, in the public service; a right which, as you say, has been acknowl edged by the appointment of one of the formerly proscribed race to represent the United States in Hayti.

DURING my contemplated absence to Louisi ana or out West, I have made Col. H H Jones, Cuthbert, Ga., my legal agent. - F, J. RAGLAND. A CARD TO THE AFFLICTED, Dr. M. L. LICHTENSTADT, a resident of Georgia for 21 years, begs leave to tender his services to the citizens of Randolph and adjoining counties, for the treatment of all Chror ic Di-eases. but especially those of a Nervous character, such as Neuralgia ©f th. 6 Face and Head, as we h as Sciatica, or paiDS in the Ifip, Joints, Thighs, Knees a(d Ancles. This method of treating disease in its various forms, by external applications, wasjintroduced by meia this State, in 1865,up0n my re*urn from Europe, and is, comparatively speaking, a new one, but has been already sufficiently tested In various parts of this State, to for It hosts of friends, especially amongst the mativ 1 patients whose.sufferings have been vwmptly aud PERMANENTLY cured by means of the Biometer.” I have speedily restored those who suffered from the b’ighting disease of Paralysis, and have had the gratification to see the return of health in the victims of Epileptic convulsion*, whose cases have been repeatedly pronounced incurable, by competent authorities. Gout and Rheumatism yield- to this treatment with wonderful promptness, and sot less re markable in the fact that all skin diseases, by whatever technical name they may be designated, have to succumb to my system external medication. My Certificates, which, amongst others, bear the names of eminent citizens of thisiState and Alabama, will be distributed by mail, or can be had upon application to me. A patiqut perusal of the same is solicited. Until further notice I can be found at the Hotel in Cuthbert, dn CVery Wednesday and Tfllirsday, of each week, and hope to secute the ap probation of those who may need my services. Liberty Hall, Grawfokesvili.e, Ga,, Sept'. 14®, 186!). I think it proper to state to all who have no experience in the Needle Treatment, as practiced by Dr M. L. Li-htenstadt, and who desire information upon the subject, that I hake tried it and think well of it. It has. within my knowledge, in some cases, effected almost marvelous results. It was the first thing that gave me relief from the most, agonizing pains, after intense severing for two days from a serious injury in the hip. From this hurt lain not yet restored—am still una ble to walk—the injury was received more than eight months ago. I have, during (hat time, resoited to many remedies—none have been effectual, and.none that T have tried seem to have been more beneficial than the use of the Biometer. It gave me the first relief from intense pain, and under its continued occasional application, the genenl tone of the nervous systoin, which was so shocked by the hurt, has been greatly improved. This is my opinion of the effects of this treatment on myself. In other east’s within rnv knowledge, its effects have been. as I have stated, almost marvelous. These cases were Chronic Rheiynatism. Dr. Liebtenstadt I have found to be a man of education, of urbanity and amenity of manners and in all respects deserving the consideration due to a gentleman. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. SrARTA, Ga., June 2ls| ISG9. I certify, that under the treatment of Dr. M. L. I.icmF.NSTAiiT, my wife has been wry greatly benefitted. For years she has been a frequent and«gi eat sufferer from Nervous Heoilaches. but sinc3 his second visit, now more than two mouths ago. she has not had an attack of this painful and prostrating disease, and her general health lias greatly improved. I do unhesitatingly and earnestly recouitneud h's practice to all sufferers from Nervous af fections. * , CHARLES W. .DqBCSE. 0 • • Waruentox, Ga., September 3, f ISG9. Dr. M. L. Lichtenstadt — Dear Sir : I consider it a sacred fluty to render yog my sincere acknowledgements for the marvelous cure you have effected in my Niece’s case, who has been afflicted with EPILEPTIC FITS, in its v:orst form, for about twenty years, and will only mention that my object in renderirjf you thiai elaborate statement is to < all the attention of all sufferers, who are similarly af flicted, to your method of treatment, and to beg them to lay aside their prejudices, to try your skill, and be* cured like my niece has been. •* j. A brief outline of tin’s distressing case, will suffice : My niece, Miss Sarah Gross, has lived with me from her infancy, and when about 14 years old, she was quite suddenly attacked with spasmodic affections, which constantly and gradu ally grew worse in spite of the best medical attention, until the spasms turned in to Epileptic Convulsions, returning upon the poor victim at shorter intervals, making her a wreck i body, and seriously affecting her mind. The family, du ring all these long years,lias spared neither money nor pains to have a cure ef fected. And when the skill of our local physicians hud been oxhaustedjwe con cluded to try the science of professional men of Augusta, Ga:, but all proved ut ter failures, and of the fifteen physicians, under whose treatment she has been for the last twenty years, not one was able to check- the ravages of this dreadful disease. When you came to our village, and promised us a cure, I confess that my con fidence in its success was very small indeed, but I am now thankful to an Allwise Providence for the happy deliverance, and am anxious that others whh are simi larly afflicted in their families, should be made acquainted with all the facts, and at least give you a trial. • If they do, I am sure they will bless the day, and thauk me for this statement. It may appear strange lo every one, to learn that, although my niece lias had from three to eight Epileptic Convulsions a week, for a period of nearly twenty years, accompanied by excruciating headaches, that your remedy should be able to cause a visible improvement from the start, but such is nevertheless, the case, and can be substantiated by all the neighbors in our settlement- You began your treatment early in February, and improvement was evident after the second treat ment. Her fils were getting milder and milder, arid since the 13th day of last March, she has not had any tits nor symptoms. Her mind is now 7 as goid as ever it was before her first attack, and she is not only able to take care pf herself, which she could not do before, but she is competent to perform a grdat marry do mestic duties, and undergoes a good many fatigues. I hope aryl trust Doctor, that you may continue in your successes, relieving the afflicted, and remain, gratefully, your friend, Mrs. SARAH Ej HILL. Sparta. Ga., June 15tji, 1869. Dr. Liciitekptadt — Dear Sir: In appreciation of yocr new method-of treating disease. I cbeertully bear testimony to its great efficacy in relieving suffeur.g whenever properly applied and persistently continued. My wife has lor some years complained of'unplensant. sensation, and has offer,’ felt sudden pai*s about the heart. Ibis was not continuous, but occurred at any time, even when she was seemingly well. Early in January last,, the began to experience much excited notion of the' heart, and the whole arterial svsiem, accompanied with great nervous excitement, which daily increased, distressing and weakening h”r very much, until about tlie middle of February, when she had become completely prostratid, both in body and mind. 1 culled in a tardily Physician, a man of skill and science, but she 'continued to grow worse, until I began to disjiair, and con sidered her case almost hopeless. Hearing of your trea!merit, 1 prevailed upon btr to have you called in. She consented with gieat reluctance, and only to gratify me, but the result lias been remarkable. Your first visit was in April Pith. vbui she was so feeble that she had to rest three times during a very slight application of your remedy. I ouM see that she improved after every application, and after the fourth treatment her convalescence became evident to all. for she began to v, alk without as-isiance, aid could take Some nourishment, which increased hei strength rapidly. She has now been under your treatment two months, and although she is not entirely well, and perhaps may never be in perfect health again, yet she is eo much im pioved ns to be able to ride and walk about with much comfort to herself, and car attend to many of her domestic duties. Her appetite and digosflou are good, aud her sleep greatly im proved. With many thanks to you for your succe sfu! treatment (und-’r a kind Providence) of her case, and sincere good wishes for your professional success, lain, with respects, yours, WM. FRALEY.
