Go Feel What I Have Felt [A young lady in New York was in the habit of writing on the sub ject of intemperance. Her writing was full of pathos, and evinced such deep emotion of soul that a friend accused her ol' being a maniac on the subject of intemperance, where upon she wrote the fallowing lines :J Gu feel what I have felt Go bear what I have borne— Sink ’neath a blow a father dealt, And the cold world's proud scorn'; Then suffer on from year to year— Thy sole relief the scorching tear. Go kneel ns I Lave knelt, Implore, beseech and pray— Strive the besotted heart to melt. The downward course to : tuy— Be dashed with bitter curse aside, Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defiled. Go weep us I have wept O’er a loved father's fall, See every promised blessing swept— Youth's sweetness turiiqp to gall; Lite’s fading flowers strewed all the way, That brought me up to woman’s day. Go see what 1 have seen. Behold the strong man bow — With gniis ling teeth—lips bathed in blo'od— And cold and livid brow ; Gocatch bis writhing glance and see There mirrored his soul’s misery . Go to thy mother’s side, And her crushed bosom cheor, Thine own deep anguish hide, Wipe from her cheek t:ie bitter tear ; 'Mark her worn frame-and withering brow; The gray that streaks her dark hair now ; With fading trameand trembling limb, And trace the ruin back to him Whose plighted faith iu early youth Prom i-ud eternal love and truth ; But who, foresworn, had yielded up That promise to the maddening cup. And lead her down through love and iigh.. And all that made her p.otui.-e bright— Amt chained her there 'mid want and strife, That lowly thing a drunkard's wife— And stamped on childhood's brow, so mild, t hat withering blight—the dtu kard'schi and. Go hear, and feel, and see, and know, All that my soul has felt and known— • Then look upon the wine cup’s glow ; See iffif*s beauty can atone — Think if its flavor you Can try, When all proclaim 'tis drink and die? Tell me I hate the bowl ? Hate is a feeble word ! I loathe—abhor—my very soul With strong disgust is stirred— When I see. or bear, or tell Os that dark beverage of Hell. t JusticJe to Georgia.— The New York Sun pays the following trutb | ful tribute to our State: Governor Brown, of Georgia, thinks Georgia good for 50,000 ma joritv for Horace Greeley and Grata Brown The GrantiteS think so too, and are beginning to harro v up blood-freezing reminiscences of Georgia’s treatment of Bullock and other patriots. The objects of these tales of horror appear to be to jus tify some sort of bayonet interven tion in the coming election. But facts are against the Grantites. The prodigious strides in prosperity which Georgia has taken since the expulsion of the robber, Bullock, and against them, and the harmony of whites and colored is proof of the falsity of these stories. The fact that Georgia stands in the first rank of cotton manufacturing States is proof of that prosperity which is incompatible with anarchy. Private advices from the State go to show' that the issues of the war are dead there and that the colored vote is being courted alike by both Demo crats and Gruutites, with fair chan ces of success for the former. The Cincinnati Commercial seems sad. It says: “If the Republican managers in Georgia had been hon est, that State would have been re liably I Republican for many years. The State has been lost to the party by the most rampant rascality.’' MlMiritNi More Dangerous thaii Gsißipowder. Prof. C. F. Chandler, in the American Chemist, says : It is not possible to make gasolene, naptha or benzine safe by any addition that can be made to it. Nor is any oil safe that can be set on fire at the ordinary temperature of the air Special lamps, some of them of very elegant design, have been in troduced for burning the liquid gas (naptha). They are all provided with a reservoir for the dangerous fluid and a burner by. which it is vaporized and burns like gas. The apathy of the public in regard to this matter is beyond any com prehension. These facts are well known in almost every community, and yet though it is now twelve or thirteen years since this class of oils came into general use, we have as yet no adequate legislation for the protection of life or property. Noth ing but the most stringent laws, making it a State prison*offense to mix naptha and illuminating oil, or to sell any product of petroleum as an illuminating oil or fluid to be used in lamps or to be burned, ex cept in air gas machines, that will evolve an inflammable vapor below lOOFali., will be effectual in reme dying the’evil. In case of an ac cident from the sale of oil below the standard, the seller should he com pelled to pay all damages to prop erty, audit a life is sacrificed, should he punished for manslaughter. It should be made extremely hazard ous to sell such oils. Naptha, under watever name it passes, is, in one respect, more dan gerous than gunpowder. Gunpow der never explodes unless fire is brought to it. Naptha, on the oth er hand, sends out its inflammable vapor and brings lire from a dis tance. Gunpowder is thus a passive agent, while naptha is an ective one; aftd when introduced under the treacherous disguise of safe oil, it is not to be wondered that fright ful accidents occur. In this connection the “vapor stoves demand some consideration. These stoves are supplied with nap tha, sold under various names, from a reservoir at one side, the supply being regulated by a stop cock. The naptha flows into a tube or chamber, which is maintained at a high temperature by the combustion, here it is vaporized to escape through suitable orifices and burn. These stoves are arranged for cooking, as well as for heating appaftments. These contrivances are till, with out exception, highly dangerous. They are all supplied with benzine or naptha, which is always liable to fire and to produce explosive va pors. A keg of gunpowder in a buil ding is not as .dangerous as one. of these stoves. Suspended Insurance Compa nies..—The Andes Insurance compa ny, at, Cincinnati, has gone into the bauds of a receiver. The Superin tendent of Insurance in Ohio shows that it has a define ncy of over $200,- 000. The company has an agency in New York. The American In surance Company of Jersey City has suspended, by order of the sher iff, who will sell, as advertised the effects' thereof. The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert, which sucks in all the rain and dews with greediness, but yields no •fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others.—Zeno. . Good Manners. —Young folks should be mannerly. . llow to be so is the question ? Many a good girl and boy. feel that they can’t behave themselves in the presence of com pany. Tnere is but one way to get over this feeling, and acquire easy and graceful manners; that is, to do the best they can all the time at home, as well as abroad. Good manners are not learned by arbitra ry teaching so much, as acquired by habit. They grow upon us by use. We must be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly and wo manly at home, and then it will be come a kind of second nature to be so everywhere. A course, rough maoner at home begets a habit of roughness, which we cannot layoff if we try when we go among stran gers The most agreeable people we have ever known in company, are those who are perfectly agreea ble at home. Home is the school for all good things, especially" for good manners. Not “ The Girl op the Pep.iod.” —The youug lady who rises early, rolls up her sleeves, and walks into the kitchen to get breakfast, or as sist in doing so, and afterwards with cheerfulness and sunny smiles, puts the house in order without the assistance of her mother, is worth a thousand parlor beauties,, who from want of exercise, almost.die of lazi ness. The former will make a good wife and render home paradise ; the latter is a useless piece of fur niture, and will, to the annoyance of the household, go whining to her grave. * Rush op Freights. —The Mont gomery Advertiser says that since the opening of the “ South and North Alabama Railroad with Lou isville there has been an unprecedent ed flow of freight A and through Montgomery 7 , for New Orleans, Mo bile, Columbus, Ga., West Point, Greenville, Eufaula, Southwestern Georgia, etc. We learn that not less than five hundred and fifty-five loaded cars were received here in one day for these respective points.” CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEM BER 8, 1872. A Quaker Printer’s Prov erbs.. Never sendest thou an article for publication without giving tfcte edi tor thy name, for thy name often times secures publication to worth less articles. Thou shoujdst not rap at the door of a printing office, for he that answereth the rap sneeretb in his sleeves and loseth time. Never do thou loaf about, ask questions or knock down type, or the boys will love you like they do shade trees—when thou leaveth. Thou shouldst never read the copy on the printer’s case, or the sharp and hooked container there of, or he may knock thee down. Never inquire thou of the editor for the news, for behold, it is his business-at the appointed time to give it to thee without asking. It is not right that thou shouldst ask him who is the author of an ar ticle, for it is his duty to keep such things unto himself. When thou dost enter his office, take heed unto thyseif that thou dost not look at what may be lay ing open and concerneth thee not, for that is not meet in the sight of good breeding. Neither examine thou the proof sheet, fur it is not ready to meet thine eye that thou mayest under stand.. Prefer thine own town paper so any other, and subscribe for it im mediately. Pay for it in advance, and it shall be well with thee and thine. Tiie Great Lakes. —The follow ing, statistics in regard to the five great lakes in North America are not generally known : Lake Superior is the largest body offiesh water in the world. Its greatest lemAth is 355 miles, its greatest breaerth 160 miles, and its area is given as 32,000 square miles. Its average depth is variously giv en at 688 and 1,000 feet. It is 600 ; feet above the level of the sea, 22 feet higher than Lake Michigan, And 50 feet higher than Erie. Lake Michigan is 320 miles long, 108 miles, in the widest, and the mean depth of it is 900 feet. In its greatest length it is longer than Lake Superior, being 390 miles.— It has an era of 23,000 square miles. The greatest length*6f Lake Hu ron is 200 miles; the greatest width 100 miles, the mean depth GOO feet, and the area 20,000 square miles. Lake Erie’s greatest length is 250 miles, its width 50 miles, the mean depth of its waters 84 feet, making it by far the most shallow of all the live lakes, and it has a su perficial area of iibout 6,000 square miles. The greatest length of Lake On tario is 180 miles, the greatest breadth 05 miles, the mean depth 260 feet, and the area 9,000 sqnai e miles. The length of all the lakes is more than 1,500 miles. Eight Children at a Birth.- On the 21st of August, Mrs., Brad lee, of Trumbull county, Ohio, gave birth to eight children^—three boys and five girls. They, are all.living and are healthy, but quite small. Mr. Bradlee was married six years ago to Eunice Mowery, who weighed two hundred and seventy-three pounds on the day of her marriage. e has given birth to two pg ir. of twins, and now eight more, mak ing twelve children in six years. Mrs. Bradlee was triplet - her mol h er and father both being twins, aud her grand-mother the mother of five pairs of twins. — Cincinnati Lan<'.et Observer. Amusing Sport. —An eccentric young man who resides at a pala tial boarding house on Ontqi io street, Cleveland, lias invented a very ingenious method of amusing himself by keeping a hair album.— Every" hair he finds in his victuals is placed in the album, and the in cidents attending the discovery, with the name of the dish it v/as. found in, are Entered opposite the hair, together with a supposition as to whom it belonged, aud whet he ir it was false or real, and other in ter esting particulars. Refilled forty"- five pages of the album in two brief weeks, thus improving tb.e spare moments so many devote no idleness. Girls in the Garden. — If there is any one thing more beau tiful than another in a garden of flow ers, that thing is a beautiful girl, "with a sun bonnet on her head so wide and capacious that you have to get right square before her and pretty near her, to see the glowing cheeks that are sui’e to be there, if she is at all accustomed to garden walks and works. Physically, there nan be nothing better for daughl ers, and, indeed, for many wives, than to take sole charge of a small flow er garden. The Next Legislature of Sou th Carolina. — It is judged from the returns received of the recent elec tion iu South Carolina that the mjxt State Senate will be composed of 21 Radical Republicans, 4 Bolters, a ml 8 Conservatives. The House w'ill stand as follows: Radical Republi cans 78, Bolters 21, and Consorvv: 20. A Texas correspondent of the Southern Farmer says : “ Cori i this seasou will sell in Texas at 25 to 50 cents; beef two and a half to four cents; pork five to six cents, and other articles in proportion,” Newspapers. Their value is by no means ap preciated, but the rapidity with which people are waking up to their necessity and usefulness is one of thti i ligniticam signs of the times. Few families are now content with a sing !e newspaper. The thirst for knowledge is not easily satiated, and boo ks, though useful—yea, ab solutely necessary in their place, fail to ni eet the demands of youth or age. The village newspaper, is eagerly s ought, and its contents as eagerly devoured. Then comes the denia nd tor. the county news, state r e ws, national and foreign news. N r ext to the political come the litera ry, and then the scientific journals. Lastly, and above all, come th e moral and religious jour nals. This variety is demanded to satisfy the cravings of the active mind. Newsp a pers are also valuable to material ] prosperity. They adver tise the village, county or locality. They* sprt ad before the reader a map on v.h ich may be traced char acter, design, progress. If a stran ger calls at a hotel he first inquires for the vi'dage newspaper; if a friend conn is from a distance, the very next t! ling after a family greet ing, he in qu ires for your village or county newspaper, and you feel discomfited if you are unable to find a late copy, and confounded if you are compelled to say you do not take it. The news paper is just as necessa ry to fit a m an for his true position in life as so od or raiment. Show us a ragged , barefooted boy, rather than an ignorant one. It is head will cover h is feet in after life if he is well sup) .lied with newspapers.— Show us th e child that is eager for newspape rs. He will make a man of mark in after life if you gratify that desire for knowledge. Other things be in g equal, it is a rule that never fai ls. Give the children news papers. Ciiurcii Attire, etc. —Avery impertinent paper on church mat ters is the (Jhicago Pulpit. It says, for instr.nc e, consciences are much more readihy put at ease in the mat ter of cL'iur ch-going than they once were. Mr ?. Jones loses sight of hers in the fact that her old bonnet will 1c ok shabby beside Mrs. Smith’s it lew one, although Mrs. Jones’s bonnet was very pretty and becoming the Sunday before.— Her daughter Arabella does not at tend the uvening service unless in vited by Llr. Augustus, for the rea son that Mr. Augustus’ coat is al ways of “ Jegant fit,” and his gloves a “ deli gh.tful color,” and he holds the hymn-book in “such a, graceful way,” a mi, vice versa, Augustus in vites ra be I,la because she is “ styl ish” and “.fashionable,” and the other fellows of his set will envy him. ’if you do not believe this, stand at your window some fair Sabbath morning while, the church bells aro ranging, .and watch the pass ing crowd.. Thete is the same piti ful mockery from beginning to end. The color of the dress, the multitu dinous trimmings, the hump at the back where the waist terminates— all the deformities ol fashion in silks and laces are imitated by the poorer class in cheaper materials, and Bridget drapes her shawl in ex actly the same way* as does her mistress. Join the crowd, and you will hear, as you pass along, that “ Mrs. I>. has anew silk of the loveliest shade that is made”—but you hurry on, and hear that “Miss G. has worn the same dress all the season ; ” that “ Mr. P. has anew diamond pin;” that “he is paying attention to Miss M.; and that Miss !>I. is not stylish,” anil so pn ad infinitum , were you not at the church door. Beggars in China. —Beggars in China prepare themselves for their work by no small amount of suffer ing, if we may believe a corres pondent. He says four, men were seen one day crawling on their hands and knees, having lost their legs a few inches below the knee. They asserted that their eight legs had been burned off in a lire.— But it was ascertained that in the southern part of the province of Suntung, beggars had their legs taken off .by a professional beggar surgeon; his plan being to tie a piece of thin string around the mid dle of the calf, drawing it closer day by day, till mortification of the lower limb ensues. After a while the bone is exposed, sawn through, the wound closes up, and the beg gars set forth, amid the congratula tions" of their friends, as in a fair way to obtain a beggar’s fortune. Numbers, however, sink under the tortures of the tedious operation. An agent in a Central Railroad depot tells the Macon Telegraph that last year the average weight to the cotton bale at his station was 487 pouhds. This year, so far, it is only 435 pounds—s 2 pounds short last year’s average. Here is nearly eleven per cent, short, and if this deficit is general it becomes a vastly | important element in figuring up i cotton receipts tins year. Women require more sleep, it is said, than men. Blifkins disputes this, as, he says, the last sound he hears of nights is the voice of Mrs. B. in her nocturnal lecture, and the xiyst in the morning is her matuti n,f L admonition. Walker didn’t get a single vote in Tatn: -$1 county. Smith received 834. F!ec tE’ica! Experiment xi ith a Dead Doily. The professors and students of the Medical College at Columbus Ohio, p erformed some experiments on. the body of John Barclay, bung On Friu ay for the murder of Charles F. Garn: ter. The body was stiipped of its clothing, and at thirteen min utes- to one o’clock, thirty seven minutes after death, the students began ope rations. The eleefrical in strumen t used was one of the most powerful known. Two currents of electricity' were used, one placed at the lower extremity of the body, and the other drawn along the arm, neck, fare and breast. The effect was won derful; the eyes opened, the face drew up as if in pain, the mouth jerked to ono side, the arm raised as if to strike, and the fist clenched. The limbs also raised, and the toes and fingers .worked, and once the body also turned to one side. The arms were next laid bare and a current of electricity in troduced. The whole system seem ed to respond at once, and the move ments of the body were at times violent. At four minutes to two o’clock the electricity was appeal and faint actions of the muscles could even then be observed. The body was afterwards left until ten ipin utes after three, when the electricity was again applied, and the muscles of the body still responded as be fore, but with less force. The breast was then opened and a cur rent passed into the h 2ai;t, but it gave no response. It was carried to the hands and feet a: id all respon ded as before. The heart was then taken out and found hard as muscle and full of blood, the lungs not con gested, the brain very Healthy and free f'rytn any congestion whatever. At eleven minutes after four o’clock electricity was again applied and a good response was-had ; at eighteen minutes after five a faint response was given, and at fifteen minutes to six, five hours and thirty-five min utes after death, the si congest cur rent that could be applied failed to move a muscle. Drunk. —Young man, did you ever stop to think how that word sounds? Did you ever think what misery- and woe y T ou brought upon your friends, when you degraded your manhood by getting drunk? How it rings in the oars of a lov ing wife ? How it makes the heart of a fond mother bleed ? flow il crushes but the hopes of a doting father, and brings reproach anil shame upon loving sisters? Drunk! sec him as he leans against some friendly house. He stands ready to fall info hell, tin conscious as to his approaching fate. The wife, with tearful eyes and aching heart, sits at the v/mdow to hear her husband’s footsteps; alas, they come not. ,He is drunk ! The hus band, the parent is drunk, spending his means of support tor liquor, while Ins family is starving, for bread, his children suffering for clothing. Ilis friends, one by one, are reluctantly leaving him to a miserable fate. Taking Cold.— ls a cold settles on the outer covering of the lungs it becomes pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, which in many cases carries the strongest mari to his grave within a week. If cold falls upon the inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with its knife-like pains and its very slow re coveries. If a cold settles in the joints, there is rheumatism with its agonies of pains, and rheumatism of the heart, which in an instant some-, times snaps the cords of life with* no friendly warning; It is of the utmost practical importance, then, in the wintry weather, to know not so much how to cure a cold as t jo avoid it. Colds always come fro-m one cause, sometimes part of the whole of the body being colder than natural for a time. If a man will keep his feet warm always and nev er allow himself to be chilled, he will never take cold in a lifetime, and this can ouly be accomplished by due care in ifann clothing and the avoidance of drafts and undue exposure. While multitudes of •colds comes from cold feet, perhaps the majority arise trorn persons cooling off too quickly after be coming a little warmer than is natural from exercise or work, or from confinement to a warm apart ment. — Wood's Household Maga zine. Rewarding the Minister,— ln a certain very hard district of the far West a revivalist had been la boring long with great zeal and el oquence, with absolutely no results. His meetings were well attended by rough characters from far and near, who turned out “to hear the speech es,” but the mourners seat was va cant, the seekers bench seated • not one. Finally, after many meetings, the minister made his last appeal— he waited, and pleaded, but no one moved. Finally he said he would have to abandon his effort—that he had tried hard to produceconvic tion, but no one has moved. He has now made his last appeal and, after a few" mild words, he sat down. At this juncture a tall man of the soil arose and said that the preacher had been working hard, and had labored faithfully with them. If he hadn’t succeeded it wasn’t his fault, and now, as a token .of their appreciation and respect for him, he moved that the congregation give the preacher three cheers, 1 which was carried.

The common coarseness of many ; the bashful awkwardness of others ; the general tendency of man to satisfy his passions— are all toned down or obliterated, when they are con tinually brought into society of wo men. The gentle, kind and in- sinuating way a good woman’s in fluence .is thrown about the rude and reckless male, is always observable. She seems to reach into his heart with fingers that very soon, weed out every uncouth and unseemly plant. She does this apparently without an effort; she gives .to man, fluence in con versation, gentleness of manner, complete ease in society and a love of the arts, sciences and beauties of nature; she throws about his existence an atmosphere of love, confidence, hope, trust, honor, fi delity anil virtue ! Tfce rough ob structions to be met with upon the exterior of his character are very soon cut away, and the scars healed up from sight. The process of change from a vicious, lonely life, to one of female association and re finement, and has often slow and tedious; but the metamorphic change is sure to take place under the love, judgment and guidance, of a true woman. If there is any thing in man that may be called metal, the beneficial influence of woman’s assofciation will burnish it to such a brightness that its kind and quality will soon be deter mined. Things Worth Knowing, —Salt stimulates digestion Onions are the best vegetable known to correct the blood. Ice cream produces acute dyspep sia in consumptive persons.

Philosophically investigated, the peculiar sound thus recognized is a phenomenon that very much perplexed learned gentlemen for a long while. The experiment is easy made by simply pressing a spiral shell, common in collections, over the cerebrum of either car. If a large shell, the sound is very much like that of a far-off cataract.

A farmer should never be ashamed of his calling; we know that no man can be entirely independent, yet the farmer should remember that if any one can'be said to possess that en viable distinction, he is the man.
