I.see a ifeantifui maiden.
With oytjjs 01 a tender, blue ;
She stands ball covered until flowers, ,
Hut the thorns are hid from view.
She wears a mantle of roses,
Endowed with a fadeless bloom : •
. ili-r bvmy step is imitated
By a subtle sweet perfume.
She Ittiarellt a magic mirror,
• Gifted with wondrous powc*;
,' It shows us with vivid brightness
The ghost of each vanished hour.
* Sane forms are faint and shadowy,
But others are clear and bright,
With as fair and life-like faces
As the faces 1 she to-night,
1 sec my*sunny childhood
in this wonderful magic gloss ;
The spectres of long dead playmates
Before my vision pass.
I see my own dear mother.
Not laded as she is now,
But with rosy check and ebon curls.
And a smooth, uuwriukled brow.
Once more I stand beside her,
In the twilight cool and gray,
With the simple trust of childhood.
To the Father above 1 pray.
That my young heart may be shielded
From the snares that are wove for youth,
And my footstep? guarded safely
In the pathway ot Love and Truth,,
Sisters and brothers are around me—
Whom are they all tonight?
Some are afar, and some lie asleep
lu Death's untroubled uijilii.
But here in the magic mirror.
Each sonny, careless brow
Blooms in the light of eternal youth.
As they pass before me now.
From my roseate bridal evening
Pass on to a«oeue as lit it'.
The holy crown of motberliood,
With a pivnid. .bright smile 1 wear! !
Can it be that the babe P tended,
In tliuf care l'ree; happy time, j
Is the stalwart youth I see to-night
In his m .uhood's early prime?
I will look no more—it saddens
My heart that such changes are ;
That- so many miles I’ve traveled i
In Time’s eventful car.
. I will think not of l’ast or Future.
With the Present contented be ;
No more to-night from your magic glass,
Oh! faithful Memory!
Discoxtknt. —Some people are
never content with their lot, let
what will happen. Clouds, and.
darkness are over their heads, alike,
whether it rain or shine. To them
every incident is’ an- accident or a
calamity. Even when they have
their own way they like it no better
than ypur way, and, indeed, consid
er their most voluntary acts as mat
ters of compulsion. We saw a
striking illustration the other clay
of the infirmity we speak of, in the
conduct of a child about three
years old. He was crying because
his mother had shut the parlor
dour.-
“ Poor thing,” said a neighbor,
compassionately, “you have shut
the child out.” .
“ It’s all the same to him,” said
the mother; “he would cry If I
called, him in and 6k-nt the door.”
It’s a peculiarity of that boy, that,
if he is left rathe* suddenly on ei
ther aide of a door, he considers
himself .. shut out, and rebels ac
cordingly.”
There are older children who
take the same view of things.
“ Mr. Smithers, how can you sleep
so? The sun has been up these
two hours.”
“Well, what if it has?” said
dark, whllfe I’m up till midnight.”
The Breath of JLiifc.
There, is a significance in this sen
tence rVhJch is 'hardfy appreciated
to its full extent by many persobs,
even %inor)g. urnr# intelligent
jpoftfon ofetery 'contmftnlfy. The
air we breathe is not only indispen
sable te corporeal existence ;• ijts full
benefits can only be realized in the
development of healthy bo ides, and
vigorous intellects, by full, free and
deep-breathing. The first requisite
for a healthy body is pure air ; and
plenty of it; with this, and proper
nourishment, sufficient exercise
and good habits, in a reasonably
healthy cilmate, good health is as ;
sured.
It cannot be expected that a dis
eased urganisrn, or sn impaired
constitution, can be restored at once
by anything short o£ supernatural
pov, er. in the incipient stages of
many forms of disease, pure air and
pair of lungs are wonderful
aids to bring the patient back to a
normal ’healthy condition*; but
chronic ailments to con
tinuous, skillful and judicious
treatment, while hereditary com
plaints and deformities are, in the
main, beyOund the reach—so far
as a perfect care in a majority of
cases is concerned, of the most con
summate skill.
Good health is, or should be, the
primary'consideration in the enjoy
ment "of life. Health, wisdom,
wealth —this is the bder in which
well balanced minds place the great
objects which constitute the earthly
interesis of mankind, though it is
not a comforting reflection that, in
a large measure, the first two are
subservient to the last. The pos-:
session of vast knowledge and im
mense wealth cannot be properly or
adequately enjoyed without there
is good health-
A few days since, while travel
ing over an important line of wes
tern railway, we encountered an in-.
telligent gentleman from abroad,
traveling in this country for pleas-,
ure and observation. The -conver
sation turned upon the health of
American women, and ho remarked
that upon inquiry he learned that
American women suffered from ill
health and physical disabilities to a
much greater extent than he was
prepared to believe. In the dryer
atmosphere of this country, as com
pared with England, and physical
conditions genenallv favorable to
health, he experted to find the men
and women more robust, or at least
not less strong physically than in
that country, \thereas the women,
especially, compared very .'unfavor
ably, in this respect, with their
trans-Atlantic sisters.
The satfic testimony is borne by
our own people who go abroad!
, Why is this• difference? What is
Ihe reason there is such a laqk of
vitality and health among so large
a number of American women ?
Will the scientists point ns out the
natural causes, if any exist? We
: suspect that such causes are nmin
; ly artificial, and that some, of them
j are not so remote or hidden as to
be difficult to,find. Most of them
are Chargeable to the arbitrary be
hest of fashion, which are .often in
imical to good health, and are a con-*
stent violation of natural laws.
These tell upon the vital functions
of the body, and hence it is that
weakness and debility, effeminate
bodies, and impaired constitutions,,
are so prevalent among American
women.
A fair estimate places the average
weight of womati’s clothiag, sup
ported at the waitst; all the year
round at fifteen pounds. Is it a
matter of surprise that there is so
much A m plaint of weak backs ?
And again.the injudicious use of the'
corset to improve the figure—which
ofteuer results, in an exaggerated
deformity rather than an improve
ment —is chargeable with a vast
amount of suffering and' disease.
Women will insist that they do nut
lace tightly, when their looks, ac
tions aiul health contradict their
statements. The pressure upon the
lungs and. the heart, which are the
vital functions of* respiration ,and
circulation, impedes their freedom,
obstructs their natural action, pro
ducing organic iullamations, un
healthy secretions and vertebral dis
tortions. These are not ‘‘natural
weakness,” any more than are the
intemperate use of ardent’spirits, or
lohacdo chewing, or a passion for
disreputable practices generally.
The pernitypus results of violating
the natural laws of being, in these
respects, do not end here, Physi
cal defects and mental weakness,
are the instalments upon
thousands of offspring. The first
Napoleon said: “You cannot make
CUTiTbEET, GEOBGIA, FEIDxVY, OCTOBER 4, x«3&
a soldier ou,t of a sick man.” What
is true in regard to a soldier holds
good, in a greater degree, in other
’directions. Asa rule, it is neces
sary to have a healthy body to de
velop the highest powers of tlie
mind. To have a generation of
men with enlarged brain, oi' intel
lectual strength, it is necessary to
have opportunites for thought and
action: Deep breathing has much
to do with thinking. Good lungs
are among the primary requisites
of perfect development, and the full
enjoyment of life and vigor cannot
he had without them. When will
the women of America learn these
important truths, and eschew the
criminal follies from which flow
a long train of evils attendant only
with misery to thcmselvs, and sufi
feeing to their children. •
Hints about Housekeep
ing.
We give to intelligence, to relig
ion, and to all virtues, the honor
that belongs to them. And still it
may be boldly affirmed that econo
my, taste, skill and neatness in the
kitchen have a great deal to do
with making life happy and pros
perous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary
that a house should be filled with
luxuries. The qualifications for all
good housekeeping can be display
ed as well on a small scale as on a
large one.
A small house can bo more easily
kept than a palace. Economy is
most needed in the absence of abun
dance.
Taste is as well displayed in pla
cing dishes on a pine table as in ar
ranging the folds of a damask cur*
tain.
Skillful cooking is as readily dis
covered in a nicely baked potato,
qr a respectable johnny-cake, ns a
nuthrown sirloin or a br-ace of can
vass-backs.
The charm of good housekeeping,
in the order of economy and taste
displayed in attention .to little
things, has a wonderful influence.
*A dirty kitchen and bad cooking
have driven many a one from home
to seek comfort and happiness some
where else'.
Domestic economy is a science—
a theory of life .which all sensi
ble women ought to study and
practice. None of our girls are fit
to he married until they are thor
oughly educated in the mysteries of
the kitchen.
See to it, all ye who are mothers,
that your daughters are accom
plished by an experimental knowl
edge of good .housekeeping.
The Secuet.— “ I. noticed,” said
Franklin, “ a mechanic, among a
number of others, at work on a
house being erected but a little way
from my office, who always ap
peated to be in a merry humor,
wild had a kin*l word and cheerful
smile for every one he met. Let
the day he ever so cold, gloomy ov
sunless, a happy smile danced like
sunbeam on bis cheerful counte
nance. Meeting him one morning,
I asked him to tell me the secret of
his constant flow of spirits.”
“No secret, doctor,” he replied, j
“ I have got one of the best wives,!
and when I go, to work she always
has a kind word of encouragement
forme; and when I go, home she
meets me with a smile and a kiss;
and then tea is sure to be ready,
and she has done so many little
things through the day to please
me, that I cannot find it in my
heart to speak an unkind word to
anybody.”
What influence then has • women
over the heart of men, to soften it
and make it the foundation of
cheerful and pure emotions. Speak
gently, then; greetings after the
toils of the day are over cost noth
ing, and go far toward making
j home happy and peaceful.
A Western exchange hits the
fashionable church-goers quietly
and handsomely, and proposes that
the seats in the churches be ar
ranged. on pivots, so that the de
votional portion of the congrega
tion, Who enter the church at a vea-,
sqfiable hour, may more convenient
ly turn around and examine the
elaborate toilets and decorations of
the late comers, whose entry fif
teen or twenty' minutes after ser
vice has commenced is apparently
designed to be spectacular, and to
attract the notice • and admiration
of the audience, in utter disregard
of the annoyance it occasions the
minister.
You need not tell all. the truth,
unless to those who have a right to
know it all. But let all you tel!
be the truth,
“ Say Amen to that,
Brother.’’ ■
In the south of New Jersey,
some years ago, there taveled over
some of the hardest counties, a good
faithful, “ hard-working brother,
named James Moore, or Jimmy
Moore, as he was familiarly called.
A true, loyal Methodist, plain. Depu
ted and sharp, in all his preaching
and exhortations.
He had been laboring a year od
one oi his circuits* and before leav
ing for his new field he gave his
people, who dearly loved him, his
farewdll sermon. ,
At its close he said :
“My dear brethren, this is my
last address to you. I am going
from you, and you may never hear
the voice of James Moore again.”
‘Amen !’ came loudly from the
seat before him.
He looked at the man with a lit
tle surprise, but thinking it was a
mistake, went on :
‘My days on earth will soon be
numbered. lam an old man, and
you may not only never hear the
voice of James* Moore, but never
see his face again.’
‘Amen !’ was shouted from the
same seat, more vigorously than be
fore.
There was no mistaking now.
The preacher looked at the man—
he knew him to be a hard, grinding
man, stingy and merciless to the
poor.
He continued his address:
‘May the Lord bless those of you
who have' done your duty ; who
have honored Him with your ‘sub
stance; who have been kind to the
poor, and—’
Pausing and looking the intruder
straight in the eye, and pointing to
him with his finger—
‘May II is curse rest on those
who have cheated the Lord and
.ground the pour under their heels.
Say amen to that, brother !’ :
The shot told. He was not inter
rupted.
.1 Torching' ffateides?*. .
A gentleman who went up the
Hudson on the St. John tells this;
story:
“I had. noticed,” he said “a so
rious looking man, yvhq looked as if
he might be a clerk or bookeeper.Tne
man seemed to be caring for a cry
ing baby, and was doing everything
ho could to still its sobs. As the
child became restless in the berth
the gentleman took it in Ijis arms
and carried it to and fro in the cab
in. The sob,s of the child irritated
a rich man, who was trying to read,
until he blurted out loud enough
for the father to hear—
“ What does lie want to disturb
the whole cabin with that and m
baby for ? ”
The father ouly nestled the baby
more quietly in bis arms without
saving a word. Then the baby r
sobbed again. .
“Where is the coufounded moth
er that she don’t stop its noise?”
continued the profancC grumbler, '
At tiiis the father cauie up to the
man and said:
“I am sorry that we disturb
y T ou, sir, but my dear baby’s moth
er is iu her coffin down in the bag
gage room ! lam taking her back
to x\lbany where we used to live.”
“The hard-hearted man,” 6ay r s
mv friend “hurried his face in
shame, but in a moment, wilted
by the terrible rebuke, he was by
the side of the grief stricken fathe.r
They were both tending baby.”
Idle Daughters. —lt is a most
painful spectacle, says the “ Dra
matic Review,” in families where
the mother is the drugc, to see
daughters elegantly dressed, reclin
ing at their ease, with their drawing,
their music, their fancy works, and
dreaming of their responsi
bilities ; but as a necessary conse
quence of a neglect of duty, grow
ing weary of their useless lives, lay
hold of every newly invented stim
ulaufc to rouse their drooping ener
gies, and blame their fate, when
they dare not blame tfieir God, for
haviner placed them where they are.
These individuals often tell you,
with an air of affected compassion
(for who can believe it real ?) that
poor dear mamma is .working her
self to death ; yet no sooner do you
propose that they should assist her,
than they declare she is quite iu
her element —in short,' that she nev
er would be happy if she only bad
half so much to do.
The man who is able to work
and does not, is to be pitied as
well as to be despised. He knows
nothing of sweet sleep and pleasant
dreams. He is a miserable drone
and eats a substance he dees not
earn.
How Bishop Folk was
Killed.
Au- f ex-Confcderate, writjng for
the Westminister Review, gives
the following account of the death
of the Bishop General: —“The death
.of the distinguished man occurred
whije our army lay in front of Ken
esaw. Johnston, with a group of
officers, among whom was Polk, was
making a reconnoissanee of the ene
my’s lines from the summit of the
Pike mountain, a lofty, solitary
mount, which jutted out from the
range and formed the apex of an
acute On which our line Was arran
ged. .The situation was a very haz
ardous one, being commanded, or
rather reached by guns from any
portion of the enemy’s lines. The
unusual assemblage in such a con
spicuous place soon attracted the.
vigilant enemy. A battery in front
immediately fired one shot, which
we afterwards found out was hut
the prelude to one of the most fear
ful shellings I ever witnessed. The
group was standing betvveen young
Beauregard’s battery and the fifth
company of ’Washingtcin artillery,
Johnstoh being on the works look
ing through a field glass, The first
shot could not have missed him two
feet, but the ouly attention he paid
to it was to turn his glasses to the
battery that fired it. Polk had in,
the mean time, separated from the
group and was walking thoughtfully
away, with his left side to the ene
my, his head down and his hands
clasped behind him. The second
sbel.fired at the crowd struck him
in the arm and passed through the
body, tearing out his heart and
then crushing his right arm above the
elbow. lie dropped on one ksee
wavered, then-fell-:on one side. I
had hardly turned my hack when!
heard the murmur of horror fun
through the line, ‘General Polk is
is killed, Johnston said not a word
hut ran to him an lifted him in his
arms. Hardee uttered a cry, and
also rushed forward. He was past
all human help. The members of
his staff tenderly lifted and bore
him from the field. *
Marriage in, Assyria, —Among
the Assyrians, all marriageable
young girls are assembled in one
place, and the public crier put
them up to sell one after another.
The, money which was received for
those who were handsome, ana con
sequently sold 'ftLell, was bestowed
as a wedding portion on those who
were plain. Whert the most beau
tiful had been disposed of, the
more ordinary looking were offer
ed for a certain sum, and allotted
to those who were willing to take
them. Hence, all the women were
kmdly provided with husbands.
The Babylonians, like the Assyr
ians, held a kind of market of their
daughters at certain times every
year. They were assembled in a
public place, where they were ex
posed to general view, and disposed
to the best bidders by the public
crier. The money given for the
purchase of the handsome ones was
applied to portion out those who
were deficient in personal attrac
tions. The cu&tom was said to
have originated with Atossa, the
daughter of Belochus. ,
Josh Biilings says: When we
cum to think that there aint on the
face of. the earth even one bat too
much, and that haint been,
since the daze of Adam, a single
surpluss musskeeter’s egg by acksi
dent, we can form some kind of an
idee how little we know, aud what
a poor job we should make of it
runnin the machinery ov kreashun.
Man is a, fool ennyhow, and the best
of the joke is, he don’t seem.to
know it. Bats have a destiny to
fill, and I will bet 4 dollars they fill
it better than we do ours.
Secrets of Comfort. —Though
sometimes small evils, like invisible
insects, inflict pain, and a single hair
may stop a vast machine, yet the
chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trifles to vex one, and in
prudently cultivating an under
growth of small pleasures ; -since
very few great ones, alas ! are let on
long leases.
Standards of Beauty. The
standards of beauty in woman vary
with thosft of taste. Socrates called
beauty a shbi-tdived tyfafiAyq’ Plftto
a privilege of, nature ;,tYjteppj>ras
tus, a silent cheat; Theocritus, a
delightful prejudice; Gardenias, a
solitary kingdom ; and Aristotle
affirmed that it was better than all
the letters of recommendation in
the world. . , jj... ; \

It makes one homesick' in tMs
world to think that tlifere are so
many rare' people Ire can never
fenowf* and so nidny excellent peo
ple that scarcely anyone will know,
•it fact. One thsenvers a friend -by
ehiindo, and cannot but -feel regret ;
that twenty, or thirty years of life
may be, have been spent without
the least knowledge of him. When,
he is once known, through him,
opening is made into another little
world, into a circle of culture and.
loving hearts, and enthusiasms in :i
'aid easi
ly the bachelor doubles his work!
when he marries, and enters into
the unknown fellowship to him,
continually increasing company
which is known in popular language
as “ all his wile’s relations.”
Near at ltend daily, no doubt,
are those worthy knowing inti
mately, if one had the time and op
portunity. And when one travels
he sees what a vast material there
is for society, and friendship, o£
which he cafi never avail himself.—

could choose a score of life long

You etui sec that they also have
their worlds and their intercuts,
and 'thfey probably - know a great
many “nice” people. The matter
of personal ’iking, nudattachments
is a good deal clue to the mere for
tune of association. More/ast friend
ship and acquaintanceship between
those who would have been only in
different acquaintances elsewhere,
than one would think possible on a
voyage which-naturally makes one'
as selfish as lie is indifferent to his
personal appearance. The Atlantic
is the only power on earth I know,
that can make a woman indifferent

. Suook ©nt For Yourself,
Many jrepifle and wonder at the !
accumulati'oh of their ' Misfortunes
and disappointments, wheu their
own selfish 11CBH causes the greater
share of them. They . expect the
world to yiled to them of its abun
dance, with little effort on their part
and if neighbor's do not fly to their
assistance every time.their services
could be of use, nO matter how
great the inconvenience, they are
directly set down as no friends.
The fact is people generally have
enough to d5 to keep thrift in their
own homes, and those who prosper
most expect to sene thomselyes
and do so cheerfully and energetic
ally.
If a farmer neglects his field, and
it fails to yield corn and wheat
enough to support iiis family, it does
not. follow that another man is
bound to give him, or spU below a
fair rate from his well-tilted grana
ries.
If a man abuses himself in' dissi
pation and finally sipks down- sick
and prostrated in mind, body and
pocket, bis friends are not bound
to support ' him. Generosity and
kindness of heart; prompt those
kindly services which are often .re
ceived as rights.
Every man and woman is flespon-'
sible for themselves so far as they
are well and of sound mind, atid
when each rofises up resolved to
help themselves the world will be
happier, for then the burdens of
life will be more evenly distriJbu->

limaeiiijr Wheat Fawns.
There are three wheat 'farms in
'■the Hats Joaquin Valiev—with
areas respectively of 3fi,9f)o ■ ueres,
23,0fft) and 17,000 * acres. On the
'largest of these farms the wheat
crop this veal - is reported-to he equal
tb atf average-of 4-o'bushels to the
acre, the yield running np on some
parts of the farm , for the present
year is !,449,000 bushels. The
boundry oh one sido of this farm is
about 17 miles long. At the season
of plowing, ten four-horse teams
were attached ,tp ten gang-plows
or forty horses with as many plows
were started at the same time, the
teams folio ved in close succession.
Lunch or dinner was served at a
midway station, and supper at the
terminus of the field, 17 miles • dis
taut from the starting point. -The
teams returned the following day.
The wheat in this immense. ,field
was cut with twenty'of. the largest
reapers, and wo believe%as uow all
been thrashed aud put lu sacks. It
would require over forty ships of
medium size to transport the wheat
raised on this farm to a foreign mar

An English physician, with a de-i
sire to lie of benefit to the rising
generation, jias published some in
teresting fact regarding the el
fects of tobacco smoidng up
on boys. Os thirty-eight boys'
under fifteen years of age, whom he.
knew to ho smokers he discovered
twenty-two injurious traces of the
habit. Twenty-two had disorders
of the circulaljon and digestion, pal
pitation of the heart, and a mare
or 'ess taste for strong drink.—
Twelve were troubled with hemor
rhage at. the nose, and an equal
number had slight ulceration of the'
mucous membrane of the mouth. —
These symptoifls weft all mitiga
ted and in some cases eradicated
by a discoutimgtnce of the habit of
smoking. Although ail were treat
ed for the above named disorders,
only those were cured who aban
doned the habit. Persons who
have the care of boys will do well
to keep these'statements, giade on
the authority of the British Medi
cal Journal, well in mind'.
