Selfish hearts are never guy.
Life for thee bus many duties : ,
Active be, then, while you may.
Scalier blessings in thy pathway :
Gentle words and cheering smiles,
Setter are than gold And silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever oij the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
Gladden well the darkened hearth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary :
Drop the tear of s; inpatby ;
Whisper words of hope ami comlort;
Give—and tby reward shall be.
Joy'unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain-head.
Freely, as thou freely givest.
Shall the grateful light be shed.
Smothering Fires.— Extinction
of lire by smothering is a method
which deserves notice. When ala
dy's chess eatci.es tire her usual
course is to rush out of the room
screaming for help, thereby caus
ing the dames to spread over her,
with great fury. If she were
promptly to envelope herself in a
table cover or other cloth—or some
one were to do it for her—the tire
would at Once go out for want of
air. Again’, if window curtains
catch tire, a common tendency for
majikind is to rush out, shouting
“Fire!” and “Help!” Reader,
why mu: help yourself—especially if
you be a man by finding out be
forehand what is the best, course of
procedure in the circumstances?
You ought at once to tear the cur
tains down, and throw Ihe rug or
table-cloth on them. If you cannot
do this, and must leave the room,
don’t open the window, and by all
means remember to shut the door
behind you ; and thus, by cutting
off the supply of air, at all events
delay the conflagration its much ns
you can. It is a matter of the
greatest importance that a man
slioqhl have a definite idea of what
he will do, or attempt, in case ot
fire Opinions may differ as to the
best mode of action to carry out. —
Nothing is more pitiful than to see
any one rushing about shouting
“Help!” and .wasting energy. —
For a man to be,seen in such cir
cumstances is'contemptible.
After Dinner Naps. —An excel
lent aid to digestion is the comfort
able‘nap after dinner. Many per
sons, particularly the middle aged
and elderly, allow themselves this
real indulgence, and the custom, if
not carried to excess, is by many
medical men considered beneficial
rather than otherwise, as by keep
ing the body in a state of qui. tude,
digestion is promoted and assisted.
In Southern countries the mid
day sleep is almost universally ta
ken, and wonderfully refreshes the
frame, enervated and weakened by
the intense heat. It is, however,
recommended that such sleep be
not indulged in to too great a
length, as persons invariably find
such prolonged slumber'iu the day
time causes them to wake dull, irri
table and unrefreshed; while most
have experience, on having been ac
cidentally roused up a few minutes
after absolute forgetfulness, a sen
sation of lightness and renewed vig
or, unattended by peevishness, or
the least desire to sleep again.
Medical men, iu sanctioning the
indulgence, particularly advise that
it be taken in a reclining postuie,
but by no means lying horizontally,
the stomach in the latter position,
pressing on the intestines, and caus
mg the blood to be impelled to the
head. Corpulent persons, and
those who have a tendency to apo
plexy should be particularly mind
\ ful of this point.
Hints to Young Mothers^
The three requisites for babies
are plenty of sleep, plenty of food,
plefity of flannel. The saying that
man is a bundle of habits is as true
of babies as it is of grown children.
If an infant is accustomed from its
birth to sleep from six o’clock at
night until daylight, the habit of
early sleep will be formed, and tbe
mother may'have all hei eveuings
to herself.
If the baby sleeps all night a long
morning nap will naturally come
about dinner time, after which the
child, except when very young,
should be kept awake until six
o’clock. Pet severance in this rou
tine will soon result in securing
quiet evenings for both the child and
parent.
Some mothers have a long season
every morning and every night in
getting the baby asleep. They rock
them and sing them till Morpheus
enfolds them. With most children
this is entirely unnecessary. An
infant can be accustomed, by a few
day’s training, to go to sleep itself
lor a morning nap as well as for lon
ger rest at night.
A mother has duties to herself as
well as to iter off'surtug.. While she
should exercise a constant care in
securing its utmost physical Comfort,
she should secure rest and recrea
tion for herself. In no other way
can she keep fresh in feeling and
buoyant in spirit. Nothing is so
wearing as the uuceusiug tending
of a fretful baby.
Every means should be employed
to aid the child in hiking care of
itself and giving as little trouble as
possible. It-may learn in babyhood
to amuse itself with toys or by
watching movements going on
around it.
Fashion as well as good sense re
quires infant’s dresses to be made
with long sleeves and high in, the
neck. Fashion requires children of
all ages to be warmly clad. Flannel
should encase the whole boil}’, with
the exception of tne head and hands?
The fruitful cause of colic in infants
is the nakedness of their necks and
arms. *
Regularity in feeding is as impor
tant as either of the other requi
sites. Rabies cry as often from be
ing overfed too frequently as from
hunger. Let the mother obey the
dictates common sense in this man
ner and not force food into a baby’s
stomach for every little complaint
1 1 makes.
Children Os three or four years
old need much more sleep than they
usually have. For irritable and
nervous children steep is a specific,
and it can be secured to them only
by the force of habit. Many light
forms of disease may be cured by
keeping a child in a uniform tem
perature and in quiet.
Some Husbands— Some hus
bands never'leave home in the morn
ing without kissing their wives and
bidding them “ good-bye,” in the
tones of unwearied love,'aud wheth
er it be policy or fact, it has the ef
fect of fact, and tnose, homes are
generally pleasant ones, provided al
ways, that the wives are apprecia
tive, and welcome the disipline in
a kindly spirit. We know an old
gentleman who lived with his wife
over fifty years, and never left home
without the kiss and the “good
bye.” Some husbands will leave
home without saying anything at
all, but turn round at the last point
of observation and wave an adieu.
Some never say a word, rising from
the breakfast table and going out
with a heartless disregard of those
left behind. Their wives seek sym
pathy elsewhere. Some husbands
never leave without some unkind
look or word, thinking that such a
course will keep things straight in
their absence. Then, on returning,
some husbands come home pleasant
and happy, unsoured by the world ;
some sulky and surly with its disap
pointments. Some are called away
every evening; some doze away in
speechless stupidity until bed time.
‘ Depend upon it,” says Dr. Spoon
er, “ that home is the happiest where
kindness, and iuterest, and polite
ness, and attention are the rule on
the part of husbands.”
Carving Character. —Have you
ever watched a sculptor slowly
fashioning a human countenance ?
It is not struck out at a single blow.
It is painfully and laboriously
wrought. And thousand blows
roughcast it. Ten thousand chisel
points polish and perfect it, put in
the fine touches and bring out the
features and expression. It is a
work of time, but at last the full
likeness comes out, and stands
fixed and unchanging in the solid
marbel. So does a man carve out
his own inoral likeuess. Every
day he adds something to the work.
A thousand acts of thought, and
will, and efforts, shape the features
and expression of the soul. Hab
its of love, piety and truth, of false
hood, passion, or goodness, silently
mould and fashion it, till at length
it wears the likeness of God, or the
image of a demon. .

GUTHBERT; GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1872.
For Grammarians.
The Hudson Register deals hu
morously with a question of gram
mar, as follows :
“ A searcher after truth writes to
us, ‘.Which is grammatically cor
rect, to say ‘The house is building,’
or ‘The house is being built‘The
street is paving,’ or ‘The street is
being paved ?’ There is a wide di
versity of opinion upon this subject,
but we incline to favor ‘is being
built,’ for the following reason :
Suppose you wish to express anoth
er kiud of idea, would you say, fot
in stance, ‘Johnny is spanking,’ or
‘Johnny is being spanked?’ The
difference to you may seem imma
terial, but it is a matter of consid
erable importance to Johnny; and
it is probable that, if any choice
were given him, be would suddenly
select the former alternative. You
say, ag'-ui, that the ‘missionary is
eatin this expi esses a
very different and much pleasanter
idea than the form, ‘The missionary
is being eaten,’ and the sensation is
very different for the missionary,
too. We have consulted several
missionaries about it, aud they all
seem to think that the two things
are somehow not the same, no mat
ter What the grammarians say.
“ Hut it is to be confessed that
there are occasions when the differ
ence in the form is not so marked.
You assert, we say, that “Hannah
is hugging”—which, by the way,
would be a very improper thing for
Hannah to do; it would be posi
tively scandalous, indeed. Pre
cisely a similar idea is conveyed if
you say, “ Hannah is being hugg
ed,’’ because it is a peculiarity of
the act that it is hardly ever onesi
ded ; there is no selfishness about it.
Aud it is the same with kissing.—
“Jane is kissing”—and her mother
ought to know about it if she is—is
just exactly as it we say, “ Jane is
being kissed and the sensation is
the same, although none of the
grammars, by a singular iniulvert
ance, mention the fact, it will not
be necessary, however, for our cor
respondent to attempt to prove
these last mentioned facts by prac
tice. He must lake our word for
them. Unless he does so we shall
answer no more questions in syn
tax for him or any- one else. Our
duty is to conserve the morals of
the community, not to start the peo
ple to playing private games of Co
penhagen.”
Guardian of Purity. —Labor is
the mother of wealth and the guar
dian of purity. All and good
men have been workers. The moral
powers of no man, much less a boy,
are able toj successfully resist for
uuy length of time, the temptations
which beset the individual who has
nothing to do. They are more than
a match for human nature. The
damage of one idle day often are so
many and so great, that it requires
a whole year to repair them ; and
not unfrequently, life is too short to
replace things as they were before
an idle day. The human family
is doomed to toil, ami the only safe
guards to the individual members
of the race is to submit cheerfully.
No. work that is useful is dis
graceful. It matters not how hard
it may be So long as it tends to
advance the welfare of the laborer,
and the prosperity of society in gen
eral, it is honorble. It is always
better to be engaged in some hon
orable work than to be doing noth
ing. Wealth and decency is the in
heritance of the laboring men, and
poverty and shame is the portion
of the individual who always has
nothing to do.
Good Manners. —If good man
ners are not to die out among us,
reverence must be restored. The
old man must be honored, the weak
must be considered, the illustrious
must be deferred to, aud the most of
all, women must be respected. Wo
men have the matter in their ow'n
bands. They can compel men to be
well-mannered ; and men who know
how to behave with politeness to
wards women will end in behaving
with politeness towards each other.
Hauteur always implies want of
consideration for others, and is
therefore no part of politeness, save
when indeed an impertinence has to
be quietly but effectively resented.
If we were asked to name the word
which embodies female politeness
we should name “graciousness.”
Women should be gracious; gra
ciotisness is their happy medium be
tween coldness and familiarity ; as
self respect is that of men between
arrogance and downright rudeness.
Probably there can be no true po
liteness where there is no humility,
either real or well assumed. In a
self-making age we cannot be sur
prised at meeting with so much self
assertion and so much aggressive
ness. We eau but wait for the time
when the process will be complete,
and the individual will be well-bred
enough once more to recognize his
own insignificance.— Temple Bar.

Bishop Hall said, “ I would
rather suffer a thousand wrongs
thau offer one. I have always tound
that to strive with a superior, is in
jurious; with an .equal, doubtful;
any full of inquietness/’
What to Do When Yon
are in Trouble.
Don’t try to quench your sor
rows in rum or narcotics. If you
begin this you must keep right on
with it till it leads to ruin; or, if
you pause, you must add physical
pain and the consciousness of degra
dation to the sorrow you seek to es
cape. Os all wretched men his con
dition is most pitiful, who, having
sought to drown his grief in drink,
awakes from his shattered debauch
with shattered nerves, aching head,
and depressed mind, to face the
same trouble again and again sought,
till its victim sinks a hopeless, pit?
ifnl, and total wretch.
Work is your true remedy. If
misfortune hits you hard, hit you
something else hard; pitch into
something with a will. There’s
nothing like good, solid, absorbing,
exhausting work to cure trouble.—
If you have met with losses, you
don’t want to lie awake thinking of
them. You want sweet, calm,
sound sleep, and to eat your dinner
with appetite. But you can’t un
less you work. If you say you
don’t feel like work, and go a loaf-'
ing ali day to tell Tom, Dick or
the story of your woes, you’ll
lie awake and keep your wife awake
by tossings. This spoils her tem
per and your own breakfast the
next morning, and you begin to
morrow feeling ten times worse
than you did to day.
There are some troubles that
time only heals, and perhaps some
can never be healed at all; but
nearly all can bo healed by the pan
acea, work. Try it, you who are
thus afflicted.
We are going ahead at a fear-,
ful rate. In 1859 there were one
hundred and eighty-six lunatics to
every one hundred thousand per
sons, while now there are two hun
dred and forty-nine in the same
number. And all this is true in the
face of the fact that great attention
has been paid to the treatment of
the insane within a few years.—
Disease of the heart is also rapidly*
increasing in the male sex. With
in twenty years the number of
deaths among „ men between the
ages of twenty and forty-five (the
working years of a man’s life) has
nearly doubled, while there has
been hardly any increase in the
mortality oi‘ women by the same
disease. This result is due to the
feverish excitement of modern life,
which .naturally exhausts the vital
power*of men engaged in the com
petition of business or the general
strife for position and wealth.. —
Neuralgia, one of the most com
mon of diseases now, was hardly
known a century since, and soften
ing of the brain is said hardly ever
to have been thought of.
Set a pitcher of water in a
room, and iu a few hours it will
have absorbed all the respired gases
in the room, the air of which will
become purer, but the water per
fectly filthy. The colder the water
is, the-greater the capacity to con
tain the gases. At ordinary tem
perature a pail of water will con
tain a pint of carbonic acid gas and
several pints of ammonia. The ca
pacity is nearly doubled by redu
cing the water to the temperature
of ice. Hence, water kept in a
room a while is always unfit for use.
For the same reason the water from
a pump should always be pumped
out in the morning before any of it
is used. Impure water is more in
jurious than impure air.
Hygienic Rules.— Never eat
when much fatigued ; wait until
rested. /
Never eat just before yon expect
to engage in any severe menial or
physical exercise.
Never eat while in a passion, or
when under great medical excite
ment,,depressing or elevating.
Never eat just before taking a
bath of any kind, or just before re
tiring at night.
Never eat between regular meals.
Effect of Salt on the Blood. —
Dr. Stevens,' a French physician,
saw a ouucber killing a pig. He
observed that he stirred the blood
of the animal, added a baodlul of
common salt to it while Stirring,
which immediately made it crimson,
and the stirring being discontinued,
remained fluid. The change of
color awakened his curiosity. The
butcher could give no explanation
of the phenomena, except that it
kept it from jellying and spoiling.
Dr. Sleve.is seized-a vessel, caught
some blood, aud made several
experiments by putting salt into
it, and found that trie o'ackest
blood was iostuntly changed to a
bright veimilion by salt. <{ And,”
said he, “ here is a fact that may
lead to a pvacti'cal rule.” He had
observed, in cases of yellow fever
in the at my, ttiat the blood d-aWu
was very black and fluid, and, on
adding salt, it became vermilion
and letaioed its tVeshuesS; where
as, putridity of the blood is one of
the characteristics of yellow fever.
He therefore abandoned the usual
mode of treating it, and gave bis
putieuis a mixture of various salts,
and in a very short time reduced
toe mortality of fever iu the West
Indies from one in five to one in
fiity.

A Mother-in-law’s Fast
Ride.
Joe S. is the fortunate possessor
of a mother-in law, and, what he
probably thought more of, among
his horses was one known as Quak
er. Now Quaker was a good road
er, and could and would jerk a wag
on with two in it in 51 on the road
and the harder he was pulled in and
the more he was yelled at the faster
he meant to go. In fact, when a
competing horse ranged alongside
and a strong pull was taken, accom
panied with yells, ho thought he
must do Ins level best on tmting, and
you bet he did it. Not many years
ago, when the county fair was held
where Master Joe then lived, he
had old Quaker hitched up to a one
hundred and thirty pounds three
quarter seated wagon, aud, as he
was getting in, mother-in law wish
ed to go wiitt him. Ho informed
her that he was going to tbe town
clerk’s office at the lower end of. the
village (about a mile, and if she was
iu a burry to return she would have
to drive back alone, and then cramp
ed wagon for her ndmMatice;
and with head drooping andsloueb
irg gait old Quaker walked along,
taking the ill-assorted pair to the
towu clerk’s office. Now, be it
k town, Ji-e dea» ly lov'es mn, and
will have it as often n« possible, while
mother-in-law is a light, old. fashioned
sky-blue Baptist, undoubtedly vety
good, but unfortunately possessed
with the idea that to laugh is to sin.
It so happened that every team at
that time was going to the fa*r
grounds, or else was walking :so
Quaker had no chance to “score up,”
but just as they arrived at the office
of the town clerk, S. saw Jack
Barnes < om : ng on his way to the
i'ai »■. Now-J ack’s mare has the rep
uiali-m of being four orfive seconds
faster than old Quake . To turn
Quaker around, jump out and ad
vise mother-in-law to drive slow
going home was hut a minute’s work
and then holding up his hand to at
tract Jack’s attention he told lum
he would pay chicken fixings and
etoeteias if he would range along
side Quaker at speed; yell and s;m
the old ho-se up tbe s.reet to fair
grounds entrance. A nod, and Jack
touches Lady Cut'er with his whip,
sings git! and lays for Quaker, who.
bearing- the Stepper coming, graps
at his oft. Mol bev-io-law takes hold
ofre'ns in i-out of the buttons;
puts feet agidrst brace iron in font
and as the lady ranges alongside,
Jack yelling lively, rnOkiie>-in-law
takes her strongest pu'l, so earning

“ Bill. Arp "j has Jocen “ inter
viewed ” by suverr’.l life insurance
agents add favds.rtlie public in his
iuiinitable style? with his experience:
A friend (I suppose he was a
friend) found wanted to see
me partikularly. He took me a lit
tle way back and banded me out
some little thumb-papers, lull of
figure#; and said he wanted to iu
sure my life. That sheered me
worse than anything, for it looked
J'ke I was iu danger, aad had just
found it out. I asked him if he
thought there would be a fight. He
explained things to me, aad I felt
relieved, and declined to insure for
the present. You see I felt mighty
well, auu couldn’t see the necessity.
At tbe next corner I met another
ir'end, who seemed glad to see me,
exceedingly.
He held my band in his several
moments, lie nxed me if my life
was insured. He said he was agent
for the best company. He then ex
plained to me that I might die at
any time; that they didn’t under
take to keep a man from dying, bo
I declined, but expressed my grati
tude for his inteiest iu my welfare,
and promised to buy a policy as
coon as I got right sick. Just as I
leit him I heard him call some phel
ler a durued phool. When I got to
the hotel there was a man waitin’
for me on. the same business. lie
talked to me for an hour ou the un
certainty of lite aud certainty of
dead).. I thought he was a mis
sionary. He seemed much concern
ed about my wife and children, aod
once or twice wiped his eyes with a
pocket-handkerchief. I kuowed lie
was a fiend, aud told him I would
reflect scion sly about tie matter.
I believe that company is a purely

This morning the ii'st one come to
see me agin, and I konkluded I was
lookiug inuy bad, and axed him to
excuse me as I was not l'eeliog well.
I wept down to Dr. Alexander and
got a dose of salts. I told him I
was sick, and the reason why. He
told tne a'l about it, aud said there
was about 100 of them fella's iu
town, aud they bored a half inch at
the first interview, aud an inch at
the second iu the same hole, aud so
on till they got to tbe hollow, and
the patients give in aud took a poli
cy. I don’t know about that, but
will sr?y they are the friendliest,
most sympathizin’, and kiod-heavied
men I ever si l , tick —ou'y I don’t like
so much talk about coffins aud
g aveyurds. I don’t like the salts.

In He Rich.
Many a sigh is heaved, many a
heart is broken, many a life ls ren
dered miserable by the terrible
j iufatuation which parents manifest
iu ehoosinga life companion for their
I daughters. How is it possible for
happiness to result icom the un'on
of two nrinciples so diametrically
opposed to each other in every point
as virtue is t.o vice ? and yet -how
often is wealth considered a better
recommendation for young inert
than virtue ? How o"ten the first
questiou asked respecting the suhor
of a daughter is th ; s: “Is be rich ?”
Yet, he abounds in wealth; but does
that afford any evidence that he will
make a kind and affectionate hus
band ? “Is he rch ?” Yes, his
clothing is pm pie and fine lineo, and
he fares sumptuously every day ;
but can you itiler from this that he
is virtuous; “Ishe rich?” Yes, he
has thousands floating ori every
ocean ; but do not riches sometimes
“take to themselves wings aod fly
away?” And you consent that
your daughter shall marry a man
woo b?s nothing to commeed him
but his weaUli ? Ah ! beware, the
gihled bait sometimes covets a bar
bed book ; ask not; then, “Is he
rich” but “Is he virtuous ?” Ask
not if he has wealth, but has he hon
or? And do not sacrifice your daugh
ter’s peace for money.
