The Uast Mile Stones. BY PEARL RIVERS. Sixty yenrs through shine and shadow — Sixty years, my gentle wife, You and I have walked together, Down the rugged road of life. From the hills of Spring we started. And through all the Summer land, And the fruitful Autumn counter, We have journeyed band in hatfd. We have borne the heat and burden. Toiling painfully and slow ; We have gathered in our harvest, With rejoicing long ago. .Leave the uplands to our children They are strong to reap ; Through the quiet Winter lowlands Our level way we keep. ’Tie a dreary country, darling, You aud I are passing through ; But the road lies straight before 1 us, And tiic miles are short and few ; No more danger to encounter — No-more bills to climb, true friend ; Hothing now but simple walking, Till we reach our journey’s end. We have had our time of gladness ; . ’Twas a proud and bnppy day— Ah ! the proudest of our journey, When we felt that we could say ■Of the children God had given, Looking fondly on the ten ; “ Lovely women are our daughters— Our eons arc noble men !” We have had our time of sorrow Our time of anxious fears. When we could not see the mile stones Through the blindness of our tears. In the sunny Summer country, Far behind us little May. And Willie, too. grew Weary. And we left them on the w- y. Are you looking backward, mother. That yon stumble in the snov ? I am still your guide and staff, deat. Lean your weight upon me. so ! Our road is growing narrow ; And, what is it, wife, von say ?

Every few years the question “‘was Morgan murdered by the Free masons ?” comes up in the newspa pers, and is discussed with as much fervor as if the transaction it refers to was a matter of yesterday. It will sadden those .who delight in mystery to know, on so good au tbority as that of Morgan’s son , /.hat the supposed victim of the fbrethnen of the mystic tie was neither lied to a stone and sunk, had his throat cut, or was torn asunder, acording to the general custom in fiuch cases. On the contrary he lived .until nearly thirty years after his abduction, and finaly ended his days in corpulance and contentment at liobartown, Van Diem’s Land, where he for some years published a newspaper, the Advertiser— ■which is still in existence. Accor ding to the statement of the son re fered to, Morgan was released on condition of his leaving the country forever. He was accompanied to Quebec, where he entered the Brit ish navy and was placed on a ship which left soon after for England. Later he accompanied a government vessel to Australia, and his period of service being ended he < hese to take up his residence in that quarter of the world. His son is a resident of San Francisco, and is responsible for the statements hero given. 1 CUTHBERTff J APPEAL.

THE DUTIES OF THE PROFESSION TO THETR PATIENTS. ' 1 Sec. 1. The Dentist should ever be ready to respond to the wants of his patrons, and should fully recognize the obligations involved in the discharge of his duties to ward them. As they are, in most cases, unable to correctly estimate the character of his operations, his own sense of right must guarantee faithfulness in their performance.— Ilis mannei should be firm, yet kind and sympathizing, so as to gain the respect and confidence of his patients, and even the simplest case committed to his care, should receive that attention which is due to operations performed on living, sensitive tissue. Sec. 2. It is not expected that the patient will possess a very ex tended, or a very accurate knowl edge of Professional matters. The Dentist should make due allowance for this, patiently explaining many things that may appear quite clear to himself, thus endeavoring to ed ucate the public mind, so that it will properly appreciate the benefi cient efforts of our Profession.- He should encourage no false hopes by promising success, when in the nature of the case there is uncer tainty. Sec. 3. The Dentist should be temperate in all things, keeping both mind and body in the best possible health, that his patients may have the benefit of that clear ness of judgment and skill, which is their right. ARTICLE 11. MAINTAINING PROFESSIONAL CHARAC TER. Sec. 1. A member of the Don. tal Profession is bound to maintain its honor, and labor earnestly to extend its sphere of usefulness. He should avoid everything in lan guage and conduct, calculated to dishonor his Profession, and should ever manifest a due respect for his brethren. The young should show special respect to their seniors ; the aged, special encouragement to their juniors. Sec. 2. Thu person and office ar rangements of the Dentist should" indicate that he is a gentleman ; apd he should sustain a high-toned moral character. Sec. 3. It is unprofessional to ro sort to public advertisements, cards, handbills, posters, or signs, calling attention to peculiar stylus of work, lowness of«prices, special modes of operating; or to claim superiority over neighboring practitioners; to publish reports of cases, or certifi cates in public prints ; to go from house to house to solicit or perform .perations; to recommend or cir culate nostrums ; or to perforin any other similar acts.' See. 4. When consulted by the patient of another practitioner, the Dentist should guard against in quiries or hints disparaging to the famil. Dentist, or calculated to weaken the patients confidence in him, and if the interests of the pa tient will not be endangered there by, the case should be temporarily treated, and referred back to the family Dentist. Sec. 5 When general rules shall have been adopted by members of the Professions practicing in the same localities in relation to fees, it is unprofessional and dishonora ble to dep rt from those rules ex cept where variation of circum stances require it. And it is ever to be regarded as unprofessional to warrant operations or work, aB an inducement to patronage. ARTICLE m. THE RELATIVE DUTIES OF DENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS. Dental Surgery is a specialty in Medical Science. Physicians and Dentists should both bear this in mind. The Dentist is Profession ally limited to diseases of the Den tal organs and the mouth. With these he should be more familiar than the geuera! practitioner is ex pected to be; and while he recog nizes the superiority of the Physi cian in regard to the diseases of the general system, the latter is under equal obligations to respect his higher attainments in his specialty. When this principle governs, there can be no conflict or even diversity of Professional interests. ARTICLE IV. TIIE MUTUAL DUTIEB OF THE PROFES SION AND THE PUBLIC. Dentists are frequent witnesses, and at the same time, the best judges of the impositions perpetra ted by quacks; and it is their duty to enlighten and warn the public in regard to them. For this and the many other benefits conferred by the competent and honorable Den tist, the Profession is entitled to the confidence and respect ot the public, who should always discrim inate in favor of the true man of science and integrity, against the empiric and impostor. The public' has no right to tax te time and tal ents of the Profession to examina tions, prescriptions, or in any way, without proper remuneration. A Warning. Among the convicts on their way to work on the railroad Mon day, we noticed a genteel, pleasant looking young man. Ilis appear ance at once enlisted our sympa thy as Well as our curiosity, and entering into a free and easy con versation with him, lie told the following short story: “I am twenty-two years old. Quite young to begin such a life as this. But I rejoice that lam no older. One year is not long; and when I get through I’ll be a new man. I intend, by the help of God to make this terrible year a blessing to ine. Father died when I was quite young but left plenty to. sustain the family. I think I was considered a good boy until a few years ago. I quit school, got a situation in a bank, and -soon concluded to room with some friends in the bank building. And tliis, sir, was the beginning of my ruin. A mother’s warning and a sweet sister’s pleading could not induce me to change my mind and “stay at home ” Tlvey saw where I was drifting; and at every meal “do come back home” was sure to enter every conversation, until l— an ungrateful wretch —became tired of their loving importunities—or, rat. er, ashamed to face these dear ones—and almost quit.going home to my meals at all. All this time I was being led further into wicked ness, until one fatal night, under the distracting influence of liquor, I fought another boy—lie too ol a respectable family, with a pleasant home, but “ rooming out” like me. We were both wounded ; and he died. My sister’s heart is broken Mother is weeping herself away —I am ruined — but not for all time, I hope. And it all comes from my leaving home to room out.”—JSTor cross Courier. Defective Cotton Seed. —We hear very serious complaints fiom planters in Burke, Jefferson and Columbia counties about the defect in cotton seed. We are informed that three-fourths of the seed saved ' tor planting have been found, upon examination, to be defective—the germ entirely destroyed. It is thought that the continued rains of the early picking season, and the extreme moisture of the atmos phere during the entire winter, caused the seed to “heat’’ when thrown up in heaps in the gin houses. One gentleman informs us that he examined very carefully a four horse wagon load of planting seed the other day, an i failed to find a single sound seed. This load of seed iiad been pm chased by a plant ing friend of his, whose own seed he found were unsound, and for Which he paid one dollar per bush el. The neighbor who sold the seed doubtless thought them good, and planted his entire crop with the same kind. These reports of bnsound seed are not confined to particular localities. In some the uefect-is more severe than in others, put throughout the whole of this dortiou of the State the complaint is general, and would stem will founded.— Augusta Chronicle. Density of Population in Lon don. —The population of London was stated at 3,251,804 in the pre liminary report of the census of April, 1871; the revision at the oen sus office has shown the true num to be 3,254,260. In 1801 the popu lation was but 958,862. The re vised area is given as 78,080 acres, or 122 square miles; this, includes 2,718 acres of the Thames. The mean density of population in this area, as shown by the census, is 42 persons per acre. Col. W. if. Phillips, of Atlanta, bought for 875, one thousand acres of wild land, belonging to the es tate of W. T. Williams, bankrupt, of Griffin. Death of Hon. A. J IValicer. —Judge A. J. Walker died yes terday, in the fifty-third year of his age, at his „residence in this city, after an illness of ten days, caused by an affection ot the heart. These sad tidings will cause a feeling of profound sorrow not only in this community, but throughout the State, for Judge Walker was prominently identified with the history of Alabama, aud beloved throughout her borders alike for his private worth and distinguished eminence a sa jurist .—Montgomery Mail, 26. What three authors would a per son name who witnessed the great Chicago fire ? Dickens, Howit, Burns. Useful Words about Scar let Fever. The following advice comes to us from a successful physician, regard ing the best method of avoiding contagion in scarlet fever. 1. On the first appearance of the disease, the patient should be placed in a separate apartment as near the top of the house as possible, from which curtains, carpets, bed-hang ings and other needless articles of furniture should be removed, and no person except the medical at tendant and nurse or mother per mitted to enter the room. 2. A basin containing a solution of lime or carbolic acid should be placed near the bed for the patient to spit in. 3. Handkerchiefs not to be used, but pieces of rag instead, for wip ing the mouth and nose of the pa tient ; each piece after being used, should immediately be burned. 4. A plentiful supply of water and towels should be kept for the use of the nurse, whose hands of necessity will be soiled by the ex cretions of the patient. In one hand-basin the water should be ini. pregnat,ed with Condy’s fluid or chlorides, by which the taint on the hand may at once be removed. 5. Outside the door of the sick room, a sheet should be suspended so as to cover the entire doorway ; this should be kept wet wit a solu-. tion of lime. The effect of this will be to keep every other part of the house free from infection. 6. The discharges of the bowels and kidneys of the patient should be reeoived into vessels charged with disinfectants, such as the so lution of carbolic acid, or chloride of lime, and immediately removed. By these means the poison thrown off from interval surfaces may be rendered inert, and deprived of the power of propagating the disease. 7. The thin skin or cuticle which peels off from the hands, face, and other parts of the body in conva lescent patients, is highly cofita. gions. The plan recommended for preventing the poison from the skin being disseminated through the air is to rub oil or lard all over the skin. This practice is to commence on the fourth day after the appear ance of the eruption, and to be con tinued every day until the patient is .yell enough to take a warm bath. These baths should be administered every other day for four times, when the disenfection of the skiai may be regarded as complete. This, however, snould not be done with out first consulting the medical at tendant. The foregoing directions will ap ply to all kinds of fever, small pox and other contagious diseases. MODE OF DISINFECTING A SICK-ROOM. The patient having been removed, all linen articles, such as sheets, towels, pillow cases,* and body lin en, are to be disinfected by placing them in a large vessel comaining either Cond’s fluid or the solution of chloride of lime or soda. The blankets, counterpanes, and woolen articles of clothing, are to be sus pended on lines, and matresses and beds on the backs of chairs, the fur niture is also to be removed from the walls, the windows closed, pa per pasted over the crevices, the chimney opening of the fire place is also to be stopped up. An open iron vessel is next placed in the middle of the room, intoetvhich put a quarter of a pound of stone brim stone; the brimstone is then to be ignited, and the person who does it must immediately leave the apart ment, close the door, and paste pa per over the crevices. At the expi ration of twenty-four .hours the room may be entered and the doors and win lows‘thrown open to allow the fumes of sulphur to escape. By thi« process the room and every thing in it may be considered to have been thoroughly disinfected. — Hosne and Health. Bedbugs —One who has tried it, gives this way of exterminating the repulsive bedbug: “If any of your readers need a sure remedy for bed-- bugs they can have mine, and cleanse the house of this trouble some vermin without expense. They have only to wash with salt water, filling the cracks where they frequent with salt and you may look in vain for them.” Olive Logan commenced oue of her lectures at Newark recently, with the remark, ‘Whenever I see a pretty girl, I want to clasp her in my arms.’ ‘So do we,’ shouted the boys in the gallery. For a moment Olive was nonplussed, but recover ing her self-possession, she replied, ‘Well,boys, I don’t blame you.’ Advice to Southern Farm ers. The Department of Agriculture has not relaxed its earnest efforts to assist in reorganizing the rural in dustry, and developing the agricul tural capabilities of the South, and has continued, with as much liberal ity as its means would permit, the distribution of such cereal, grass, and vegetable seeds as are best ad apted to the climate and circumstan ces of that section. It is gratify ing to know that the commissioner’s expressions of interest in Southern agriculture have been appreciated, and that the aid, which the Depart ment thus far has been enabled to render that section, has been at tended with encouraging results. A letter was recently addressed to the Commissioner by the Secretary of the Beech Island Farmer Club of South Carolina, asking information as to the most effectual methods of regulating the change system ol labor at the South produced by emancipation, and desireing partic ularly so know how it is that, with a soil and climate producing crops that give a much larger money yield per aero than in the northern and Western States, the South is not able to-pay one fourth the wages that ai'e paid there. In response to those inquires the Commissioner has communicated to the secretary of the club, and through him to the farmers of the South, some hints about farming, which will be espe cially useful to them, and which arc of general application. Premising that the short experi ence at the South does not justify the conclusion that the work cannot profitably be done by hired labor, the Commissioner instances an ag ricultural district in the interion of Pennsylvania, where, as he shows, a farm of a hundred and twenty acres may be carried on by a farmer an-d one son and one hired man, with occasional extra help in harvesting, at a net peculiary profit, after sup porting the family, at one thousand dollars a year. For instance, the farm being stocked with six horses or mules, eight cows, and as many young cattle, twelve sheep, and ten to fifteen hogs, the average product would be 800 bushels of wheat and 1,200 each of oats and corn, worth in the aggregate, after deducting the necessary quantity for bread and seed, and the sum paid for hired help, say $1,385. In addition to this theie would be realized from the sale of vegetables, butter and eggs, S6OO, making the aggregate value of products $1,985, and leav ing, an expenditure for clothing the family, blacksmith’s bills, and repair of implements, a cash balance of SI,OOO. This is an account of the operations of thrifty husbandry by a farmer who understands his busi ness, and is irdustrious and vigilant in the conduct of it; and is deigned to show what, with similar prudence and energy, may be accomplished at the South, its superior climate and greater money value of the pro duct.of its soil. The Commission er recognizes the fact that a hired laborer at tire North will do twice as much work as a black man at the South, but attributes it to the dif ferent circumstances under which the two have been educated to work, and believes the time is coming when free labor will produce the same result cvery-wliere. The Commissioner urges upon the South the necessity of erecting barns, for the saving and better pre servation of crops, expressing the belief that fifteen per cent, of the products of grains and hay are was ted in cutting, gathering, stacking, and threshing, while the crops should be hauled in in good time and stowed away in a barn, wh- re the threshing may be done at leis ure, aud the hay, fodder, and straw fed to cattle in the barn or its yard by which means much manure would be saved that is otherwise comparatively lost. A careful rota tion of crops is likewise urged, as essential to successful and profitable farming. This material point is believed to have been fatally neg lected at the South. The Commissioner takes occasion to remind Southern gentlemen who are peculiarly an agricultural people of the indifferance and carelessness in respect to the condition of their farms, which are observable in bro ken-down fences, gates out of order, buildings out of repair, implements lying around, and the generally slovenly aspect of their premises— a condition of things bnt too obvi ovsly unfavorable to economic*, management. Industry and dili gence in employers must be enfor ced by the vigilant oversight and example of the farmer, and habits of order and neatness are indispen sable to the profitable conduct of a farm Disorder and confusion lead inevitably to a waste of time and means; while neatness and systemat ic watchfulness of details excite a spirit of pride and emulation, which not only promote economy, but are diffused through all the operations of the farm, and affect, and regulate the actions of every man and woman employed. In conclusion, the Com missioner strongly commends the use of lime, as being one of the large constiuent properties ol grass, es pecially clover, without the use of which no successful farming can be accomplished.— Washington Patriot. Roiioi* Yotir Business. It is a good sign when a man is proud of his work or his calling. Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular business, and deeming themselves unfortunate be cause fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In this men fret, and laboriously destroy all their comfort in the work ; or they change their business, and go on miserably, shifting from one thing to another till the grave or the poor house gives them a fast grip. But while occasional} 1 a man fails in life because lie is not m the place fitted to his peculiar talent, it hap pens ten times oftener that failure results from neglect and even com tempt of an honest business. A man should pat his heart into every thing that he does. There is no profession that has not its pecu liar cares and vexations. No man will escape annoyance by changing his business. No mechanical busi ness is.altogether agreeable. Com merce, in all its varieties, is affected, like all other pursuits, with trials’ unwelcome duties, spirit tiring ne cessities. It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his callings and give his mind every day to a con sideration of them. They are inevi table. Brooding over them only gives them strength. On the other hand a man has power given him to shed beauty and pleasure on the homlicst ton, if he is only wise. Lot a man adopt his business and identify it with pleasant associations; for Heav en has given us imagination, not on ly to make us poets, but to enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart varnish will cover up innu merable evils aud defects. Look at the good thing. Accept your lotas a man does a piece of rough ground, and begin to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to enrich and plant it. There is something in the most forbidding avocation around which a man may twine pleasant fancies, wiut of which he may develop an honest pride. Manners. —Before you bow ,to a lady on the street, permit her to decide whether yon may do so or not, by at least a look of recogni tion “Excuse my gloves” is an unnec essary apology, for the gloves should not be withdrawn to shake hands. When your companion bows to a lady, you should do so also-. When a gentleman bows to a lady in your company, always bow tojiim in re turn. A letter must be answered, unless you wish to intimate to the writer that be or his subject are beneath your notice. A visit must be returned in like manner, even though no intimacy is intended. A smiling countenance is pleas ant, but excess of laughter should be avoided, especially when it is possible for any one to suppose himself derided by it. Whispering in company is always offensive, and often for reasons that persons suspect that they are the subject of it. —A wretch broke off an engage ment for the following cogent rea son: ‘You know a cigar case is a fear ful nuisance, and I always carry my segars loose in my vest pocket. The necessary amount of affection toward Molly was awful rough on ’em. Never came away from that house but every one of ’em was smashed. Couldn’t expect a fellow to waste good tobacco that way, could you ?’ ‘Well, Sambo, is your master a good farmer?’ ‘He manes two crops in one year.’ ‘How is that, Sambo?’ ‘Why, he sell all his hay in the fall, and makes money once; den in de spring he sell all de hides of de cattle dat die for de lack of de hay, and makes money twice;’ NO. 19 Death of the Largest Wo man in the World. Mrs. Amelia Brooks, said to be the largest woman in the world, and weighing between 900 and 1000 pounds, died at St. Louis last week. Her profession was that of a nurse, in which business she was engaged until very recently. She was eight hours dying. As no eoffiin could be found large enough for her, a box was built six feet long, twenty-eight inches broad and twenty-six in depth. Even this was not suffi ciently w ide, and it was found nec essary to press the form nine inches, but as that was the widest box that could be got into the room without tearing out the front of the house it was thought more charitable to re duce the clay than to injure the premises, ller dimensions were five feet ten inches in height, twen ty-eight inches across the shoulders and thirtyseven inches across the hip. Her arms were thirty-six inches in circumference and lur thighs six teen inches in diameter. Wheu she had been arrayed in burial vest ments it was found impossible for seve i men to lift her. Finally the box was tilted on one side and she was rolled in while the priests chan ted the services of the dead. She was then placed in a large wagon, which proceeded carefully to Calva ry Cemetary. The wagon was backed up to the grave and eight men and six rollers combined their exertions to lower her into her nar row bed. —lrritants—People who examine and buy nothing.
