IJUIc Charlie.
The following pretty little poem,
says the San Francisco Post, is from
the pen of a girl of thirteen :
Ob, mamma, put the baby down
And take me up instead,
My face and throat are awful hot.
Aud something burns my head.
Please let me come into your iap,
And lay it on your breast,
For l feel awful tired now.
And yet I cannot rest.
Don’t put me into bed alone,
I will keep very still,
So that the baby sweet can sleep,
Oh, mamma, yes I will.
Mamma, why don’t you love me now
Since baby has come here ?
Y’ou never kiss me any more,
Nor call me Charlie dear.
Do yon suppose if I’se to die
The same as cousin Ben,
When his little sister came,
That you would love me then ?
Last night when Hse alone in bed,
I laid and cried and cried,
And then I went to sleep and dreamed
That I had truly died, •
1 thought you shut me in a box,
And said that you was glad,
For ever since the haby came
I’d been so awful bad.
Don’t mamma, don’t, don’t put me there,
I’m ’fraid. the moon's so wliite,
Please, mamma, kiss me as yon used
And keep me here to-night.
'The tearful, plaintive voice is still;
No sobs came from the bed.
Aud when the mother looked again,
She found her Charlie dead.
A Shout Sermon. —Ouce we wore
young and now we are not so
young. Once we imagined that a
rich man was very happy. Now
we know that money has very little
to do with happiness. We com
mend to our youth the following
short sermon :
“ Two things ought to be strongly
impressed upon the young people
of our country. The insecurity of
riches, even when acquired, and
their unsatisfying character. There
is no fallacy so universally cherish
e’d as the notion that wealth is se
curely a means of happiness. The
care of a large property is one of
the most burdensome of earth’s
trusts. The only material good
that comes from auv estate, is to be
made out of a moderate income far
more easily a large one, and
with fewer attendent disadvantages.
Few thoughtful meu would under
take the stewardship of large es
tates on a positive bargain that they
would receive uo more for taking
care ot it than ordinarily falls into
the lap of the owner. The scram
ble after wealth is due to a wrong
estimate of good when it is gained.”
Importance of Reading. —No
matter how obscure the position in
life of an individual, if he can read,
he may at will put himself in the
best society the world has ever
seen. He may converse with all
the best writers in prose or poetry.
He may learn how to live, how to
avoid the errors his predecessors,
and to secure blessings, present and
future, to himself. He may reside
in a desert far away from the habi
tations of man ; in solitude, where
no human eye looks upon him with
affection or interest, where, no hu
man voice cheers him with its ani
mating tones, if he has books to
read lie can never be alone He
may choose his company and the
subject of conversation, and thus
become contented and happy, intel
ligent, wise and good. He thus eh
evates his rank in the world, and be
comes independent in the best sense
of the word, and first in importance
in the department of school educa
tion.
GTJTLIBERT, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1872.
Grant a Minority Presi
dent.
Montgomery Blair says it was
the organized support of the money
power which reelected Grant,- and
that the Administration is sustain
ed by only a minority of voters,
while its opponents include three
fifths of the white voters in the
country, whom time will compact
and so restore popular government.
Ex Postmaster General Blair is
right. Grant is elected, under the
forms of the Constitution, but not
by a majority of the legal voters of
the country. Hi3 election is “ a
snap judgment” in favor of the re
publican party and its ideas. If
the voters of the country, the “stay
at home” and the actual voters
could have been massed upon one
candidate, Grant, with his military
prestige , money, corruption, brib
ery, etc., etc., would have been
swamped. The real majority of the
people of this country have not
sanctioned or endorsed such a man
as Grant or the principles he is sup
posed to represent. Let no Demo
crat be disheartened. A mistake
or a series of mistakes may have
been made in the canvass the past
year. It is not the part of any
man or number of men in the Dem
ocratic party to stick up their Ebe
neezers, and say, that if things had
been so and so, should have
succeeded. For one we do not pro
pose to sit in judgment upon the
course tluit should have been pur
sued. One thing we are certain of,
and that is, that the Grantite jour
mils miss a figure or two when they
say the Democratic party has gone
where King Nebuehaunezzer went.
The party still survives aud will
survive as long as the glorious and
immortal principles, for which it
Contends, shall need brave and con
stant defenders. Those principles
are the same that Jefferson, the
founder and exemplar of the Demo
cratic party’, inculcated, and no
true Demociat will yield a hair or
the breadth of a hair, until they are
re-established in the Councils of
the nation. Principles never die.—
Nashua Gazette.
Rich Without Money. —Many a
man is rich without money. Thou
sands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without
even a pocket, are rich. A man
born with a good sound constitu
tion, a good stomach, a gool heart,
good limbs, and a pretty good head
piece, is rich. Good bones are bet
ter than gold ; tough muscles than
silver; and nerves that flash fire
and carry energy to every function
are better than houses and land.—
It is better than a landed estate to
have the right kind of father and
mother. Good breeds and bad
breeds exist among men as really
as among birds and horses. Edu
cation may do much to check evil
tendencies or to develop good ones ;
but it is a great thing to inherit.the
right proport’Ou of faculties to start
with. The man is rich who has a
good disposition—who is naturally
kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and
who has a flavor of wit and fun in
his composition. The hardest thing
to get on with in this world is a
man’s own self. A cross, selfish
fellow—a desponding and complain
ing fellow —a timid and care bur
dened man —these are all born de
formed on the inside. Their feet
do not limp, but their thoughts do.
Own a Home oe Your Own.—
Have a home of your owu some
where. Buy a piece of land and
owu it. Buy it with the determi
nation to keep it as long as you live,
and to leave it to your heirs. If
you have no money except what
you earn yourself, then scrupulous
ly save and lay aside a part of your
income, until you have enough to
pay for a piece of land. To be an
owner of a homestead will have a
beneficial effect upon your charac
ter. It will increase your self re
spect—your confidence in yourself.
You will feel that you have a sub
stantial position, and something at
stake in the community. The hab
it of saving, which you will have
formed in saving money to purchase
a piece of land, will, in itself, be
valuable to you. It will aid you
greatly in acquiring other property,
and becoming independent. The
tendency of this is to make you
more self-reliant, more ambitious,
more industrious, more careful, and
a better citizen.
The ownership of a home will
add greatly to your happiness. The
feeling which it engenders is a
source of constant satisfaction.—
There is one spot of earth which
you improve and beautify. With
that spot your thoughts and affec
tions become identified. You learn
to love it. It is like an unchanging
friend, It becomes an unfailing
source of enjoyment. Have a
home. —Ex.
—On the night of the fire in
Boston a dealer in boots and shoes,
finding that the fire had reached his
rear store, said to a few strangers
who had assisted him : “ You
might as well help yourself to boots.”
One fellow took a pair the mer
chant handed him, and, after glanc
ing at them said : “ You havn’t
got a pair of slim sevens, have you?”
An explosion next door prevented
a response.
A man recently broke off a
marriage because the lady did not
possess good conversational powers.
A friend told him he should have
married her, and then refused her a
new bonnet to have developed her
' power of talk.
He Couldn’t Brink Wine.
That was a noble youth who, on
being urged to take wine at the ta
ble of a famous statesman, in Wash
ington, had the moral courage to re
fuse. lie was a poor young man,
just beginning the struggle of life.
He brought letters to the great
statesman," who kindly invited him
Ijome to dinner.
“ Not to take a glass of wine ?”
said the great statesman in won
derment and surprise.
“ Not one, simple glass of wine?”
echoed the statesman’s beautiful
and fascinating wife, as she arose,
glass in hand, and, with a grace
that would have charmed an ancho
rite, endeavoring to press it upon
him.
“ No,” said the heroic youth, res
olutely-, gently repelling the prof
fered glass.
What a picture of moral grand
eur was that. A poor, friendless
youth refusing wine at the table of
a wealthy and famous statesman,
even though proffered by the fair
hands of a beautiful lady’.
“No,” said the noble young
man, and his voice trembled a little
and his cheek flushed. “ I never
drink wine, but —(here he straight
ened himself up and his words
grew firmer) if you’ve got a little
good old rye whisky, I don’t mind
trying a snifter !”
Help Your Town. —The follow
ing from an exchange is as true as
preaching, and our people should
keep die views contained in the ar
ticle constantly in mind :
. The way to make a town is to
help as much as possible every in
dustry in our midst. Judiciously
aid every enterprise that promises
to add strength and character to
the place. If your neighbor builds
a house, help him to pay for it. If
you are a property holder every
new house strengthens yours, and
it is but right to reciprocate. Don’t
hide a dollar with a penny. Look
ahead. Consider what is best for
you in the long run. Don’t be so
jealous. If you can draw advant
age from an enterprise forwarded
by an enemy, support it if it even
does enrich him. Should a man
start up a legitimate business in an
obscure part of the town, whether
or no a friend or even an acquaint
ance, say a good word for him
whenever occasion presents itself,
it will cost you nothing, and may
do him incalculable good, always
remembering that “ bread cast up
on the waters will return after
many days.”
Chinese Soldiers. —Chinese sol
diers according to the popular idea,
are a comical set of barbarians arm
ed with antiquated matchlocks and
impracticable swords, who go to
battle under the shade of huge um
brellas and depend for success
against an enemy principally on the
unearthly sounds they contrive to
produce from their lungs and vari
ous instruments of ear torture,
such as the gong and similar pro
ducts of Mongolian ingenuity. The
truth is, however, that within the
past few years China has made
wonderful improvements in her mil
itary affaiis, and at the present mo
ment has a force of at least 50,000
men armed with Enfield and Rem
ington rifles, who have been thor
oughly drilled in European tactics
by European officers, supplemented
thirty field and mountain batteries.
Armories have been established in
several of the principal cities for
the manufacture of guns, rifles, and
powder, where under foreign super
intendence, the work of supplying
troops with aims of the most im
proved models for some time has
been actively carried on.
H ouseiiold —Housekeeping.—
Every home should be bright and
tastefully furnished freely if careful
ly used, and every table should be
regularly spread with a reasonable
variety of good, wholesome and ap
petizing food. Economy is a very
good thing, but when it degenerates
into unnecessary scrimping, it be
comes meanness. The very poor
are sometimes obliged to scrimp ;
but what their necessity makes a
virtue, is really a crime in the well
or even comfortably oft'. What are
delicious things made for ? to eat,
certainly. The appetite claims a
certain amount of consid
er luxuries to satisfy it, and tins
should be supplied iu generous abun
dance at the table at A

dangerous thing, whether it is the
result of over indulgence, or want
of satisfying food, if y ou desire
to keep your boys from becoming
intemperate, give them bright,
cheerful homes, aud freedom to in

to visit them there; furnish die ta

live where it can be obtained, leam

Treatment of the Horse
Disease.
The disease which is now seizing
so generally the horses of this city
is plainly of a cattarrh character.
The first notable symptom will be a
flow of tears from tbe nose, and gen
eral languor. Next a cough, which
becoming more frequent, wifi soou
occur in paroxysms. In the com
mencement the membrane of a
leaden color, and those of the eyes
presenting a yellowish or reddened
appearance. Many cases are ush
ered o.n with a chill. All this is
soon succeeded by a general fever
ish condition manifested by heat of
the mouth, memberancesof eyes and
nose reddened, pulse frequent,
though soft and easily- compressed
espiratiou quickened and sometimes
laborious. At this stage the bowels
may be sluggish, urinary organs in
active, and tbe discharge from the
nose often assuming a yellowish or
greenish appearance.
The disease usually runs its course
within ten days, and with proper
treatment few, if any, cases ought
to prove fatal. Those that do so
are usually complicated with other
diseases, as bronchitis or pneumo
nia.
Treatment.—The patient should
be excused from all labor, and al
lowed complete rest. The stables
should be kept clean and well ven
tilated. Disinfectants may be use
ful, and in some cases necessary.—
Either of the following will answer
carbolic acid, sulphate of iron,
or bromo-cloraluin. The patient
should be properly groomed, and
the nose and eyes frequently spong
ed with water, and the limbs, if cold
bandaged : The drink should have
the chill slightly removed, but not
enough to make it warm and unpal
atable. The diet should be light,
and of a laxative nature; say short
feed or bran wetted or scalded, with
a little salt added. Hay in limited
quantities may be allowed.— Buffa
lo Commercial.
What Not to Do. —Don’t spit
on the iloor ; don’t spit at all, if you
can help it. Don’t drum with your
fingers or feet; don’t sit with your
feet higher than your head; don’t
go with dirty nails ; don’t trim or
clean your nails in company ; don’t
clean your nose, ears or teeth in
presence of others; don’t eat with your
knife; don’t blow your nose at table ;
don’t make sipping tea or eating
soup a vocal exqioi.se; don’t eat
fast; don’t drop orange peal or
peach skin on the side walk ; don’t
interrupt others in conversation;
don’t use profane language; don’t
whisper in church or at concerts;
don’t pull your watch out in church ;
don’t sleep in church ; don’t run in
debt, but if you do don’t forget to
pay ; don’t borrow your neighbor’s
newspaper.
General Amnest. —The Wash
ington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, under date of the 18tli
says : The President in his annual
message will reccommcnd thepasage
of a bill by Congress removing all
the disabilities imposoed by the
third section o's the four teenth
amendment to the constiutiun.—
He will take the ground that as the
amendment does not exclude the
ballot, but oly imposes disabilities
to hold office upon certain persons
there is no good reoson for disfran
hisemeut of that kind merely be
cause they were, before the rebel
ion, of standing and character
enough to bo elected to offices re
quiring them to take an oath to sup
port the constitution.
Apples for Human Food. —With
us the value of the apple*, as an arti
cle of food, is far underrated -be
sides cotaining a large amount of
sugar, musilage, and other nutritive
matter, apples contain vegetable
acids, aromaticd ua^^eß > etc -> whicli
act powerful l / in the capacity of
refrio-erante »nd antiseptiecs; and
when fre-dy used at the season of
mellow ripeness, they prevent de
bility indigestion, and avert, with
outdoubt, many of the “ills which
flesh is heir to.” .
Anecdote of the Road. —A
alwyer riding through a town, stop
ped at a cottage to inquire the
way. The lady of the house told
him he must keep right straight
on for some time, and . then turn
to the right; but said that she her
self was going to pass the road lie
must take, and that if he would wait
a few minutes she would show him I
the way.
‘Well,’ said he, ‘bad company is
better than none —make haste.’
After jogging on five or six miles
the gentleman asked if be had not
yet come to the road that he must
take. .
‘Oh, yes,’ said she, ‘w6 passed it
two or three miles back, but I
thought as bad company was bet
ter than none, I would keep you
along with me.’
To Clean Gold Chains.—Put
the chain in a small giass bottle
with warm water, a little tooth pow
der and some soap. Cork the bottle
and shake it for a minute violently;
Friction against the glass polishes i
the gold, and the soap and chalk ;
extracts every particle of grease and !
dirt from the inters'lees of a chain
of the most intricate pattern ; rinse
it i€ clear cold water, wipe with a
towel, and the polish will surprise
you.
Mosaic Made Manures.
During the winter months every
farmer should employ as much of
his time as possible in saving and
preparing manures to be distribu
ted early next spring. Time and
lab„r thus employed will not be
spent in vain. Remember that it
is far better to, improve the land
which you already- have in cultiva
tion than to clear-more to be worn

Add something to the compost heap
every day, and in a few months you
will be surprised to see how large
it has grown. Make heaps of veg
etable matter, of any kind, where
ever you can find it ; haul muck
from the swamps, the river and
creek banks, mix a little lime with
it and it will make excellent food
for your next crop. It is a good
plan to keep your lots and stables
well littered with leaves or straw,
and rake this matter together in
heaps, mixed with lime, as soon as
it becomes wet and unfit for bed
ding for your stock. “ Nothing”
should be “ lost on a farmer’s barn
yard.” Save and make all the ma
nure you can,, and you will, by this
means, soon make “ two blades of
grass grow where but one grew be
fore,” all over your farm. Don’t
leave your farms because they are
poor, and move to the West, but
go to work, make an acre rich at a
time, and you will soon have a good
ftirtu to support you in your old
age, .and to leave, together with a
good example, to your children.
A Composition on the Ox. —The
following is the composition of a
little boy in tbe Bishop Scott Gram
mar School, Portland, Oregon, and
is printed verbatim el literatim :
OXEN.
Oxen is a very slow animal. —
They tire very good to brake up
ground.
I would rather have horses if they
didn’t have the colic—which they,
say is wind collected in a bunch.—
Whicit makes it dangereser to keep
horses than oxen.
If there were no horses people
would have to wheal their wood in
whealbarrows. It would take them
two or three days to wheal a
cord a mile.
Cows at’e useful too. I heard
some people say tliut if they had-to
be an ox or a cow they would soon
er be a cow, but I thiuk when it
comes to be milked on a cold winter
morning I think they would sooner
be an oxen for oxen don’t have to
raise calves. If I had to be aox or
cow I would be a heller, but if I
could not boa heifer and has to be
both I would be a ox.
Breakfast Dish. —To one table
spoonful of rice, boiled till soft and
drained, add a piece of butter, the
yelk of an egg, one tablespoonful of
sauce, a little white pepper, Cayen
ne, and salt, set on the fire, and
stir well together; add any dressed
fish, cut into small pieces, warm it
gradually; and send to table. Had
dock is excellent.
When you can’t think of what

And driving's a lost art
Hotels can’t furnish carriages—
They’ve nothing but the carte.
The price of leather’s going up
At a most fearful rate.
And every cow hide’s quivering,
Lest shafts shoilld be her fate.
No car 'os now will carry us.
Urged on by driver’s whacks;
Oh, ior the wings Icarus had,
Although they were of wax.
Then let us hope that horses may
Be freed from present woes,
And running on their Icet agaid;
Instead of at the nose.
