SEMI- WEEKLY EXPRESS. AS * WATT HARRIS aiul SAM’L 11. SMITH - - KWTOM AND I’KOI’KIKTOB.s. MAY IQ. 1871. Bishop Pierce was in town on Sabbath last, and preached in the Methodist Church, at 11 o’clock. There ere few ruen like Bishop Pierce, ami 1,,, e of the marvels connected with the loan is, that his great reputation as a I nlpit orator, so well deserved, >-fever suffers, but is always increased by each succeeding effort which he makes. With most men it would be otherwise, but the Bishop is now add ing to a name which stands without a rival perhaps upon the continent.— We learn that his sermon lately deliv ered in Nashville, in menior, of Bishop Andrew, was regarded as the greatest effort of his life; and yet it would be' difficult to believe - that it could hate surpassod in excellence many passages of his sermon on Sabbath last. He was on his return from Nashville, and, though jaded by travel and labor, and otherwise hwrrassed, seems to be in tbe enjoyment of vigorous health. Long may he live to bless the church and world with his glorious intellect. The Georgia Railroad Convention has adjourned without taking any ac tion on the endorsement of the lease of the State Road, approving or disap proving the same. The report of E. W. Cole, General Superintendaiit, shows the net earnings of the year to be $402,099,29. Judge Stephens offer red a protest, signed by many Stock holders, against the at tion of the direc tors in pledging the Company as secu rity for the persons or company hold ing the lease of the State Road, declar ing the same outside of the charter of the Georgia Railroad, and that the charter cannot bo enlarged so as to embark them in anew business, or in volve them in liabilities outside of the charter, without the unanimous con sent of all the Stockholders. This pro test we hold to be correct, and we ful ly accord with the positions therein taken by the Judge and his fellow pro testants. Henry Ward Hccchcsr’s Step mother. Henry Ward Beecher lately culled the Apostle Paul a little insignificant blear-eyed Jew. Scouts the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, objects to regular hours of prayer, saying that a man should only pray when he feels the inclination to do so, and now to the Chatechism in the education and training of children. Yankeedom has for along time Insisted upon anew Bible unless the present one should cease to be quoted against their peculiar ideas; and no wonder, therefore, that in the famous Plymouth preacher They find themselves so well pleased. Since in his diviuity, they find an easy conform ity to the freest and loosest views of the most worldly minded, not to say anything of his want-of reason and flat denial of the plainest teachings of Holy Writ. It is well known that Mr. Beecher keeps a reporter in his church. The form of Mr. Ellen wood is as well known as that of the Plymouth pastor. He has sat for years at a little table in front of the platform, and takes down everything that Mr. Beecher says— his notices, prayers and sermons. These Mr. Beecher revisos before they are published. Sharp, racy, humorous ut terances, keen remarks, sentences, thrown off in the heat of speaking, witticisms that shako the Plymouth audience as the forrest leaves are shak en by the wind, are often missed in the public report. Many of the illustra tions lose much of their point, because no reporter can take down the man ner of their utterance. Last Sunday morning he brought his stepmother on to the platform. He described her as a woman of great excellence, but as a great martinet. Strict in her religious practices and teachings, and like the mistress of Dotheboys Hall, she gave her children weekly a stiff dose of the Catechism. She was the pink of pro priety, and held in abhorrence all vain and trifling amusements. Dr. Beecher Lad a weakness—that of playing on a fiddle. He mixed up Yankee Doodle, a round country dance and Old Hun dred, and he did not exactly know where the one began and the other ended. One day as he was amusing himself on his favorite instrument, and struck up a genuine jig which unsanc tified had been running in his head ev er since he was a boy. Just at that moment the mother came in, and catching the inspiration of the tune placed her hands on her lips and actu ally danced a minute. Mr. Beecher described the scene. He stepped back on the platform, placed his hands on his hips, and showed the audience how she did it. He described the conster nation of the children. He clasped his hands, rolled up the whites of his eyes like a regular maw worm, opened his mouth, drew down his hip, and stood the personification of rustic horror.—- The whole scene was irresistibly comic. He wound up with the moral that if his mother had danced more and plied the Catechism less he would have had a happier childhood.

The question of endorsement of the State Road by the Directors was discussed by General Toombs, B. H- Hill, Linton Stephens, and E. W.

The cotton plant is badly damaged* almost amounting to total failure, so far, in all parts of the State. The wheat crop in North Georgia, if every thing should be favorable from this date to harvest, cannot be more than half a crop, and probably not so much. It is sadly hurt by rusff fly, and an al together unusual quantity of rain.— The oat crop is doing finely. The Etowafi River, and all the streams have been very high, and the whole country saturated with water. The farmers’ prospects are very gloomy. The Confederate Orphans.— These little ones came among us with their sweet childish songs, their gentle man ners, and happy trustful faces so en deared themselves to our people that they will uot soon forget them. We wondered w'here they were on Memo rial Day, and this morning a letter comes from Quitman, Brooks county, from a clear little girl, who says the Confederate Orphans were there yes terday, and assisted in the decoration of the graves of our honored heroes. Some one remarked: “There is the grave of a member of a Mississippi regiment, it has his initials on it.”— Two little girls from that State went to it and found that it was their father's grave. His name was Hudson. They had not known where, or how he died, or wheve his remains rested. They can rest assured now that nothing was neglected that willing hands and ten der hearts could do for him. The Brooks county ladies were noble ex emplers of the patriotism of women of the South. And in that sunny God’s Acre in Quitman, where some of our dearest treasures lie buried, his sleep will be sweet till the sound of the last great trumpet. There we hope to meet many of the rank and file of those who laid down their lives for the cause we deemed right, tbe cause we hold so hany News.

TIIF DAK WIM IX TIIEOUI. The ItlonkcfK Hear of it and are Agitated in Consequence— I They Hold an Indignation meeting. [Written for the Cincinnati Times. Darwin’s theory* concerning the de scent of man is creating a tremendous sensation among the monkeys. They have just heard of it, and are terribly exercised. They repudiate the w’hole theory. That man decended from them they consider a slur on the en tire monkey race. A cage of John Robinson's monkeys held an indignation meeting over the matter the other day, after the per formance. A venerable chipanzec, whose gray hair entitled him to the dis tinction was made chairman, and sit ting in a swing, presided with the ut most dignity. Ho got a little excited iu his speech as he took the chair, but this was pardonable under the circum stances. “What,” exclaimed this ven erable baboon; “Man descended from us! I repudiate the idea with scorn. True we have our faults. “We are accused of cutting up mon key shines sometimes, and not with out cause, but this attempt to" make us father the human race is altogetlrer too much. Is it not enough that pover ty requires us to travel around the country in this manner to make a live lihood; to exhibit ourselves to g ping men, women and children, at so much a head, (when two-thirds of them haven’t any head at all to speak of,) without having it flung iu our faces that we originated the pack of fools styled men ?” His remarks were received with ev ery expression of delight possible to the monkey. Some stood on tlieir pyramidal heads, others hung by their tails, while others threw flipflaps from one eud of the cage to the other. A monkey who had traveled much and seen a great deal, and who had probably used the cat’s paw to pull more chestnuts out of the fire than any oilier monkey of his age, next address ed his fellow monkeys: Said he: “This Darwin has iflicted a disgrace upon us that no monkey of any self-respect will hesitate to resent. I fling Lis base insinuations back into his teeth! [A wild chatter of applause.] If man was indeed descended from us, what a fall was there, my countrymen ! [Prolonged howls of derision.] If I had this base slanderer of our race— this Darwin, who dar win fame by tra ducing us —I would l-r-rend him in pieces with these pentadactylons hands, and whip him to death with this pre hensile tail!” [lmmense cheering ] The chairman interrupted the speak er to remind him thift no puns would be allowed. Nobody but in- n ptrpe trated puus, and a pun was altogether beneath the dignity of any monkey who had the least respect for himself. The speaker promised to be mors guarded iu the future, and proceded with his remarks. ‘ Look at the follies men perp trale every day. Did you ever know a moil ' - I— * I V 1,,,, r, If 'no they do ? Did you ever know a mon key to buy a ticket to a menagerie and go staring around and making r< in irks about better people than hiiiiti If? Did a monkey ever get drunk, or talk about his neighbors, or weal* a plug hat (un less it was fastened on his head by a detestable ling master), or sue for a divorce, or lace, or color his whiskers, or go into bankruptcy, or cheat the printer, or elected councilman, or run a bar account, or eat hash, or—or run for Congress? Never!” [Screams and screeches of assent.J' “Mau descehded from the monkey, indeed! If we were descended from man it would be sufficiently disgrace ful. I get ashamed when I think there is a possibility of a connecting link.— Look at them in their political, conven tions. In our most idiotic moments did we yell and howl as they do ? “Look at them in Congress. A whole menagerie on a drunk couldn’t behave worse. And where did they get it ? lliey didn’t get it front us, that is a sure thing. The key to their cuss ed nonsense is not the mon-key. [An admonishing shake of the head from the president.] Mr. Darwin inustgseek for his ancestry elsewhere, and let, the monkey alone. He might perhaps trace it to the beasts of the field or the birds of the air, or (what is more like ly) the jack ss !” Tremendous applause followed his speech. After some further remarks qn the part of distinguished monkeys of like tenor, the meeting passed a se ries of revolutions utterly repudiating the Darwinian theory, aud adjourned. Wily Woman Weds. Some close observer of our social re lations, having looked about among his married female acquaintances, ventures to give the follow.ng list, with an at tempt to indicate the real reasons which influenco too many to marry : Number one married for a home.— She got tired of working in a factory or teaching school. She thought mar ried life on earth was but moonlight walks, buggy rides, new bonnets aud nothing to do. Well, she has got her home; whether or not sne is tired of the incumherances this deponent saith uot, inasmuch as this deponent does not possibly kuow. IS umber two married because she has seven young sisters and papa with a narrow income. She consulted the in terests of her family. Perhaps she would better have consulted her own interests by taking in light washing or by going out by the day to work. Number three married because Mrs. sounded so much better than Miss.— She was twenty-n.ne years and eleven mouths old, and another month would have transformed her iuto a regular old maid. Think how awful that would have been! Number four married because she wanted somebody to pay her bills.— Her husband married for precisely the i same reason, so they are both repeut i ing at leisure. Number five married because Fanny White had a nice new husband, and ! she wasn’t going to be left behind.— 1 Pity if she couldn’t get married as weli as other folks. | Number six married because she j was poor and wanted riches. She never counted on all the other things that were inseparable from those cov , eted riches. Number seven married because she ! thought she would like to travel. But Mr. Number Seven changed his mind afterward, and all the traveling she has done has been between the well aud the back kitchen door. Number eight married out of spite because her first love had taken to lnm sclf a second love! This piece of retal iation might have done her good at the time but iu the long run number eight, found it did not pav. Number nine married because she had lead novels and “wauted sympa thy.” Sympathy is a fine thing, but it cools down at a rapid rate if the do mestic kettle is not kept boiling, aud the domestic turkey is undone. Nov els and housekeeping don’t run very well together in harness, to use a sporting term; and number nine’s sup ply of sympathy didn’t hold out very long.. Number tea married because she loved her kusb«hd with all her heart and soul. And she loves him still, and will prooably continue to love him, and is the hapfnes# wife iu the world —so she says. We have all the right motive at last —one which, w hen sactified by a desire and resolution to improve and elevate each other, and to live true and holy lives before God, cannot fail to call down the blessings of Heaven. But sad is the fate of those who marry from wro 'g motiv s, to escape their share of life’s work, or to get something for which they have nothing to give iu return. [For the Cartersville Express. “Charity Tliinkelli no Evil.” Evil thinking and evil speaking are unmistakable evidences of moral cor ruption. “To the pure all things are pure;” but how ca,u it be expected of those whose hearts are full of evil, to think rightly, to speak rightly, or to act rightly ? “A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit.” And it is gratifying to those who are wicked, and who are content to remain so, to have au op portunity to reproach those who pro ! fosss to be governed by Christian prin ! ‘tiglea, and to bring them down in the : estimation of the public to their own level. As before intimated this is nat ural. The world is no friend to grace, mid is not prepared to appreciate tho beauties of a Christian life. If they did such things in the “green tree, what will they do in the dry ?” “Let the unholy be unholy;' 1 let them think evil j and speak evil and pass uokoly judg -Im< Ilf ur.ort (•hni-nfi fioi- miniofara j and heaven-born doctrines and piiuci ; p-es; but those who aro in possession lof true Christian charity, will find bet ter employment for mind and tongue and hands, than to indulge in the un hAy pastime of thinking evil, or speak ing evil, or doing wrong. David said in his haste, “all men are liars,” aud unfortunately many professing Chris tians in the present day, often say things equally as hard, with more de liberation. All men were not liars in David’s time, aud •‘ho knew it, after he had taken time to consider the matter more maturely. There have been false prophets and false teachers and hypo crits in all former ages of the world, and such characters may be found “in this, our evil day;” but what Joes that prove ? Does it prove that all men are so? By no means! No more than that all money is spurious because there are even many counterfeit bills iu circulation. The church does not beg the world for its good opinions, but it has the right to expect its own mem bers, tho true followers of Christ, to be firm iu its support, iu weal and iu woe, through fire aud flood, in sunshine aud in storms! There is life in the church, aud there is power in tho church to save the world; and this is the only light, faint though it be, to relieve the gloom of nature’s cheerless night.— i’heu Christians let us rally to that “banner over us wnich is love,” and be ever careful to cultivate all the Christian graces, not the least of which is “char ity which thiuketii uo evil.” “J3.” Thoughtless Husbands. —Under th s head a writer of tbe London Telegraph says: “I am a husband of thirty years’s ex perience, and I thought tnis morning chat the face of my ‘oitl woman’ was as suit and as fair as it was some twenty nine years back. I think I can tell why I do not play at any game of cnance; I never get drunk, nor sleep out at nights, indeed, lam only too glad to rest ut home; and, above all, 1 court my wife as much as when she was six teen. if I cun manage it, I buy anew dress, a jewel, or even a simple flower; and should she be sick, I try all I know how to smootne her pillow; and, above all, I never allow children or servants to rebel against her authority as mis tress of the house. I need hardly add that the bouse is a happy home. 1 said to a w ould-be husband the other day, ‘look out for a loving, affectionate daughter aud sister, aud if you use aei well you will get a loving wife and mother for your little ones.' ” (GEORGIA, BAIiTOW COUNTY.—Notice is X hereby given that sixty days alter date application will be made to the Hon.

Within the last twenty-five years, not less than a score of virulent poisons have been added to the repository of the medi cal profession. They are given in small doses, otherwise they would destroy life immediately; but even in minute quantities, they produce, ultimately, very disastrous effects. * It is un wise and iinphiiisoplucal to employ, as reme dies, powerful and insidious drugs, which, in subjugating one disease, sow the seeds of an other still more unmanageable. None of these terrible medicaments operates with as much directness and certainty upon the causes of dis ease as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, atonic and corrective, without a single deleterious sngre dient in its composition. Let invalids, for their own sakes, try the Bitters before they resort to the poisons. The relief they will experience from a course of the harmless specific, will ren der a recourse to the unsafe preparations re ferred to, quite unnecessary. Travellers are-always liable to sudden attacks of Dysentery and Cholera Morbus, and these occurring absent from home are very unpleas ant. The Pain Killer may be relied upon in such cases, As soon as you feel the symptoms, take one teaspoonlul in a gill of new milk and molasses and a gill of hot water. Stir well to gether and drink hot. Repeat the dose every hour until relieved. If the pains be severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medicine clear. The bites and scratches of dogs and cats are soon cured by bathing with the Pain Killer clear. J. & S, ih . - / IMPORTERS OF AND DEALERS IN I ROM AMR STEESIi Hardware* Cutlery* Guns, &c., ’ ROME, CA.
