CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1872.
True Heroism.
Let others shout o’er battles stout
And twine with flowers the saber.
And sing sweet strains of trodden plains,
Where Death's fell harvesters labor.
It may be courage that impels
The soldier to fight frisky ;
It takes more of true heroism
To drink this modern whisky.
The classic roosters used to prate,
And call old Ciesar a hero :
If that is so, the inference is
His frau must have been a *hero.
The old Roman cuss was some in a muss.
And conquered many a nation,
And yet I tbiuk his nerve would shrink
To run a Florida plantation,
Old Hannibal, too. was a soldier true, •
And cut a huge swell in battle ;
He didn't heed the roar of gups any more
Than a yeftf.ifad baby’s rattle.
He fit and (!t.‘ like a terriei pup.
And never his flag did furl,
Yet I donbt if he’d had the necessa; y pluck
To marry a modern girl.
Which is why 1 remark that courstge true
Don’t flourish atone in battle.
And fiod its home where sftbres flush.
And cannon’s roarand muskets rattle ;
But may be fouud iircommon like.
True courage which notbi’g can smotb’r
Such as eating hash, with the hair left in.
Or boarding with one's wife’s mother.
L'Eni a.nt rt.itou.
- Modern Warfare. —If official
figures are to be credited, less than
10,000 Germans killed oat
right in the late Franco-Prussian
war. All the ingenious means of
destroying life, perfected unde? the
patronage of Verbnel Napoleon,
were used to sweep away the invad
ing Prussians, and yet but
and some odd yielded up their lives
on the soil of France. It would
appear that the more destructive
the weapons of watfaie, the less the
average number of killed. Iu bibli
cal times, when men fought handto.
hand with the battle axe and spear,
and chariots with sylhes swept over
the martial plain, it was not unusual
for hundreds of thousands to be
slain in a single day. In a battle
between the petty nations of Israel
and Judah, live hundred thousand
of the former are recorded to have
fallen by the hands of their brethren.
In the battle of Apulia, betweeu
Hannibal and the liomaos, 50,000
of the latter were slain. Osesar
slaughtered nearly a million of Gauls
in his conquest of their country.—
In the more recent battle of Leu>si«,
when modern arms hud astuiued
what was then considered perfect
tion, over 100,000 of the French and
allies, were killed and wounded. At
Waterloo ■B'j.OoO were killed and
wounded ort the side of fjje Allies.—
In the desperate battle of Antietam,
Maryland, the 10- : s in killed and
wounded of both sides exceeded
32,000. Though hundreds of thou
sand men were contending in the
Franco-Prussian war, not a single
battle was as sanguinary as that be
tween the Union and the Confeder
ate forces at Antietam, not to men
tion a dozen others of our battles.
Henry YTard Beecher speaks
of the crow as follows ;—Aside from
this special question of profit tind
loss, we have a warm side toward
tire crow, he is so much like oue of
ourselves. He is lazy, and that is
human ; he is cunning, and that is
human. He takes advantages of
tho F-i weaker than himself, and that
is manlike. He is sly, and hides
for to-rnoirow what he can’t eat to
day, showing a real human provi
dence. He learns tricks much fast
er than he does useful things, show
ing a true boy-naturc. He. thinks
his own color the bes*,jmd loves to
hear his own voice, which are emi
nent traits of humanity. He will
never work whetr he can get anoth
er to work for.him —a genuine hu
man trait. He eats what ever he
can get his claws upon, and is less
mischievous with a belly full than
when hungry, apd that is like man.
He is at war with all living things
except his own kind, and with them
when he has nothing else to do.—
No wonder men despise crows.—
They are too much like men. Take
off his wings, and put him in breech
es, and crows w ould make fair av
erage men. Give men wings, and
reduce their smartness a little, and
many of them would be almost good
enough to be crows.
Family Pbayee.— A father writes
to the Examiner and Chronicle ask
ing how to mako family worship
palatable to young children. This
journal suggests wisely and well in
reply : that it should bejbrk-f; that
the Scriptures read andjhe prayers
offered should be adapted to the
capacity of the little ones; and that
they should be allowed to partici
pate, at least so far as (0 sing and
repeat the Lord’s prayer in concert.
These are excellent suggestions aud
we have seen them all Tarried out
with signal effect.— Christian Ad
vocate.
£S*Thc Chicago “Tribune” asks
and receives twenty twe thousand
dollars for a column of advertise
ments one year. The business men
of Chicago are keen to tuy it. There
is one house in Cincinnati that pays
four thousand dollars 1 week for ad
vertising. There are several in Cleve
land, even, who pay as high as ten
thousand dollars a vea - . Somehow,
these men don’t break up ; a liberal
advertiser never does.

Rag Carpels.
Making rag carp'ets seems to be
quite an important branch of indus
try among economical farmers’
wives and daughters, and a few
suggestions in regard to their man
ufacture may not come amiss. An
Ohio lady gives the following, which
may be useful to farmers’ wives.
She snys :
Put none but strong rags in, for
it does not pay, and the economy in
a rag carpet is not in the first cot,
but because it will out-last anyy. ti
can buy. It is not at all necessary
to cut or tear the rags off at each
end of the piece, but tuVn the ear
ners, rounding them off neatly, or
it will make the carpet rough. When
I have finished otic piece and com
menced another, I sew. the ends to
gether, and they are all ready to
wind up, so they are sewed tip as
fast as they are ent. I think it
very discouraging to have ten, or
twenty pounds of rags, all in amass,
as they are almost sure to be, to be
sewed. The cotton rags I sew and
reel into skeins before dyeing ; the
woolen ones 1 dye in the piece. I
prefer prepared'warp, and always
try to get some I Cannot break.
Avery pretty stripe for carpets
is made by taking two contrasting
or some bright color aud white,(we
have crimson and white), cutting
the rags in piecbs five inches long
and sewing the colors alternately.

iri weaving it and make into clouds
or steeple. I like clouds the best.
It is very pretty when jus# woven

that l tied the ski ns of white rags
with new unblen,h f d factory for
two or three inched' 'v< intervale
of six or seven inch . u&: dye it
dark blue. It is very pr and
not much work.
To Dye Blue—For eight pounds
of rags make strong solution of one
pound of alum. Dip the rags |n
this first, then a few’ at a time in a
small quantity of wafer containing
Prussian bine, then add * line more
of the blue to this water, and in this
water dip a few more rags, and so
on. Required about £ight ounces
of Prussian blue. This is much bet
ter than oxalic acid to set the color.
It is "cheaper, more durable and of
a brighter color, and the acid will
injure the goods.
To Dye "Yellow—For eight
pounds of rags take twenty-five 5
ounces of bichromate potash and
seven ounces sugar W lead Dis
solve the bichromate over night ir

Fat ato Leas Peoelu. —lt is a
striking fact that most pet sons want
to weigh more than they on, and
measure their health by their weight,
as if a man was a pig, valuable in
proportion to his heaviness. The
racer is not fat ; the plow horse has
but a dnoderate amount of fle#h.
Heavy men are not those which ex
perienced contractors emploji’to oiifßr
railroads and \iig ditches. Thin
men the world all over are themen
for work ; for endurance, they are
wiry and hardy ; thin people live the
longest; the truth is, fat is a disease,
and, as proof, fat people are never
well a day at a time, and are not
suited to hard work. Still, there is
a medium between being as fat as
abutter ball and' thin uqjl juiceless
as a rail. For mere look, a moderate
rotundity is most desirable, to have
enough 3?£’vto cover all angularities.
To accomplish this in the shortest
time, a man should .work but little,
sleep a great part of the time, allow
nothing to worry him, keep always
in a joyous, laughing mood, r«.>.l live
chiefly, on albuminates, such as boiled
cracked wheat and rye and oats and
barley and corn, with sweet milk and
buttermilk and meats. Sugar is the
best fattener known.— Halt's Health

Two Irishmen, one sultry night,
immediately after their arrival in
India, took reftfge underneath the
bed-clothes from a skirmishing par
ty of mosquitoes. At las*, one- oi
them gasping from heat, - ventured
to peep beyond the talwiu-ks, and
by chance espied a fire fly which
had strayed into the room.
Arousing his companion with a
punch, he said, “Fergus, Ivrgns,

Will Carlton,the rising.young poet,
in aa editorial poem, thus tells how
a farmer took a youngster ot his to
a tnkiting office to be made into an
editor ; being fit else:
The editor sat in his sanctum,
and looked the old man in the eye
Then glanced at the grinning
young hopeful, and mo&rniully made
this reply: “Is your son a small un
boned edition of Moses and Solomon
both?
Can he compass his spirit with
meekness, aud strangle a natural
oath? „
Can he leave all his wrongs to the
future, aud dairy his heart m ljis
Cheek ? ’ ; . ..
Can he dean hour’s tvork in a
rrihrafce,- and live on sixpence a
week ?
Can he courteously talk to an
equal, and browbeat an iiupude.nt
dunce?
Can bo keep things in apple pie
order, and do half a dozen at
Can he press all the springs of
knowledge with quick and reliable
touch?’ : . - . j
And be sure he knows how mueli
to know, and knows how to not
know too much ?
Does he know how to stir up his
virtue, and put a check-rein on his
pride ?
Can he carry a gentleman’s man
ners within a rhinoceros’ hide?
Can he know all, and do all and
'be all, with cheerfulness, courage
:.ud vim? v : .*
If so, we perhaps can be making
an editor out o’ him. ’
The farmer stood curiously listen
uiug while 'wonder his vision o’cl'
spread;
Aud he said, “ Jim, I guess we’ll
be noin’, he’s probably out of his
head.” . '-. . ■

Teach Your Baiighlers
Coo&crj.
A great deal is written about the
importance ot training our daugh
tens to be experienced cooks, what
ever their position in life is likely to
be. And that usually means, we
should teach them to prqparen great
many dishes iti a’ most mafvjylous
way, requiring unlimited time and
patience, not to mention very gene
rous supplies of ingredients.
Now it may be valuable, at times,
to know all about- these curiously
made dishes,” but for every day
use it would be well for us to tone
down our children’s tastes. We
should strive to give them a taate
for simple dishes, prepared to per
fection rather than for elaborate,
highly seasoned ones.
Skill in simple riookery is one of
the finest and most useful accom
plishments a young lady can have. —
Let her graduate in the art of bread
making, taking in the whole depart
ment. Nothing conduces more to
the health of a household than good
bread, and every family likes a va
riety in this article. She has here
a wide range fur ingenuity.
Simple mashed potatoes nicely
Seusoued with cream, salt and pep
per, are much better, and more
wholesome than raw potatoes pared
round and round, like shavings, and
boiled in lard uutil they are brown
and crisp. They may not look
quite so fanciful, but 1 think any
hungry man would prefer the mash
ed potatoes. Let the gills learu to
cook well; not to set on potatoes
when they are watery and half cook
ed ; nor beefsteak which has soak
ed half an hour in lukewarm fat.—
Let them learn to cook all these
simple things perfectly, and then it
will be time enough for fancy dish
es.
Oh! there is such a world of com
fort around tables where simple
things arc done well. The children
grow up with wholesome tastes,
that no after years of luxurious dis
sipation can wholly rot out. They
will have sounder bodies and more
vigorous constitutions than the
children of luxury, aud will escape
many temptations which highly sea
soned dishes are apt to lead them
into.
Poisonous Paper*
A gcutlman who has had fourteen
years’ experience ouThe mutter re
garding which he now directs the
attention of the public, makes the
appalliug statement not only that—
as has long been generally known —
green papers for house walls con
tain arsenical preparations which
for years may evolve poisonous par
ticles, but that arsenic is used not
only in papers containing green, but
frequently, and even in large quan
tities, in paper of all colors, even in
some that are nearly w hite. As his
authority, he quotes “an eminent
analytical chemist, late lecturer on
chemistry at St. Bartholomew’s
Hospital”—(this must be either Dr.
Steuhouso or the late Dr. Matth
iesen) —to whom lie sent papers of
many colors —dark- bv own, buff,
white, blue, and various delicate
shades of gray, drab and mauve—
which, from tne symtoms to which
they apparently gave rise, were
suspected ot containing this metal.
The results of analysis, were that
in every instance, the papers which
w r ere taken from bed-room walls
contained arsenic ; and clearly indi
cate that “it is impossible for any
one, professional or otherwise, to
judge by tbe eye whether a paper
contains arsenic or not, or whether
much or little.” The indications
of poisoning caused by the paper
containing only a little arsenic w-ere
clear in each case. After fourteen
years’ suffering (with few’ intervals)
from arsenical poisoning from this
source, the writer whose scientific
position and power as an observer
is vouched for by the editor of the
British Medical Journal, who pub
lishes the paper—has given up hav
ing paper on his walls, and the at
mosphere of his rooms is, he says,
far purer than it was. If distemper
or oil paint be substituted for paper,
care must be taken in the selection
of the pigments, many of which also
contain arsenic, uod have proved
very injurious.— Once a Week.
