Old Household Words- Certain persons can hardly believe, although they live in the middle of the nineteenth century, and to whom the wonders of steam and electricity arc familiar, that we lit-ve distanced our respectable ancestors in scientific knowledge. We purpose offering a few illustrations of the way that knowl edge was applied to medical uses—to quote, in short, a few genuine Old Household Words. The science of judicial astrology has few votaries now ; natural philosophy is based on rather surer principles than of yore, and the healing art depends upon something more positive than spells. Eut exceptions may yet be found ; there are still a select few—the country readers of Zadkeil, we will suppose—who preter the charms of Ashmole, and the sympathetic powder of Sir Kenelm to the operations of Lawrence or the advice of Bright ; and these lovers of the temp iris acli be lieve in - , or, at all events, what our an cestors pinned their fathers to, we shall here’ expose. The idea was suggested to us while Sfcirriing over some of the Ayscough MSS. in the British Museum ; in which are preserved some very striking speci mens of the pharmaceutical wisdom of our forefathers. We thought it a pity that knowledge so valuable should be concealed any longer; and although the handwriting bore no slight resem blance to that which puzzled Tony Lumpkin, we patently set to work to transcribe some of the most remarka ble “remedies” contained in the pre cious volume. Oliver Goldsmith has said, in the “Citizen of the World,” that the epi demic of England is the fear of triad dogs. The apprehension appears to be of old date, for the receipt-books of our ancestors are filled with remedies against their bite. The Ayscough MS. gives us various examples, two of which we select— one simply medicinal, the other purely occult: “A cataplasm made of mats, with an onion, salt, and honey helpeth the biting of a mad dogg.” We should value this receipt more than we do, if we could feel quite certain who it is to benefit; for as the sentence stands, it appears doubtful, whether the object be to assist dogs in biting, or the patient in recovering. The charm receipt is not a very diffi cult one to remember : “For the bite of a madd doog, say, ‘Lernus Lam us, Itemus Ramus, Oxiologe !” It is to be presumed that this formula must be uttered before you are bitten; few dogs, we concieve, would be rnad enough to bite the person who repeated it. This view of the case is confirmed by what you are advised to do after the bite has actually been perpetrated.— “Charme for those who are madd, man or beast. The hair being cut off, lay belony to the mould of the head. Then write their words on a piece of cheese, •‘Antanbragon, Tetragrammaton,’ and give the party so diseased.” The art of writing on cheese is one of the se crets which, unfortunately, our auces. orst have not handed down to u-s. It they had but left a receipt for that also, we would at once have made a large in vestment—say in “single Glouces ter”—and setit in a tender to the Gov ernors of St. Luke’s. Having made our patient sane, let us see what the Ayscough MS. recom mends to keep him so : “At such titties asnaenne so beanes, take a beane, and put it into the heart of a black catt, being rerosted. Then bury it in a dunghill; and, when they be ripe, car ry one about thee, and thou shalt never goe madd.” Wo regret to remark that in all these! simple and easy remedies, there is al ! ways some obscurity as to the manner of reducing them to practice. What we want to know here in, which is to be roasted—the bean, or the cat’s heart? Roasting beans is a very fa miliar process, as all coffee-dealers know ; eats, too, have been roasted, as Spanish novelists assure us ; so there is no difficulty about the cookery; hut the question remains—which ? We pass over the pleasant notion of carrying about one’s person an article that had been so agreeably inhumed, and merely observe, that we think it impossible anybody could go mad who i adopted this remedy. I Our ancestors stood greatly in fear |of being poisoned; and perhaps, in the j days when a pair of perfumed gloves could quietly accomplish the prisoner’s purpose, they were not so far wrong. Here is a remedy for a poisoned wound: “Take a toad, and put it into a glass, and slop it very close; inclose this glass in some earthen vessel filled full with sand, thereby the better to prevent it breaking ; so sett it over the fire till iit be consumed to ashes, and apply | them to the place wounded, and it is a present remedy.” Slightly cruel, so far as the toad is concerned ; but that is a trifle. Let us try another for the bite of a scorpion; it is worthy of King Midas : “Saye to an asse, secretly, as if you were whispering in his ear, ‘I am bitten with a scorpion.” A reme dy which gives rise to such natural good-fellowship deserves to be a suc cessful one. The following receipt is recommend ed to young officers going out to join their regiments in the West Indies : “If onions be eater, raw” (though this j would scarcely be allowed, if the regi- I meat was at all “crack,”) “and strong I wine be drunk frequently after them, ! they are good against the biting of ser ! pents ; and are good foe % lhem that are | infected with poison, and for such as have cold passions.” j Amongst the most annoying disor ders of the olden time, the colic was j pre-eminent. That universal specific “punch” had not then been discovered, j and our ancestors were limited to cold ler prescription. The Ayscough MS. | says: “Olde decrepit cockers have J softer flesh than those which are young j er; and a pottage thereof is held good for the colic passion.” Nobody would greatly object to cock-a leekie, but the next cure for the same complaint is not quite so pleasant; it suggests the remark that the remedy is worse than the dis ease : “Horse dung, drunk in wine, j will prevent the colic.” Few persons afflicted with the alirnen, would, we; fancy, be inclined to try the antidote;; but our ancestors were not the nicest 1 in their tastes. Many of their receipts, though simple, were comprehensive. “The juice of pomegranates dropped in the eyes is a remedy for the yellow 1 jaundice.” “If the feet of those that have the; gout be washed with the broth of tur nips, it will mitigate the pain.” ; Here is a quaint intimation: “Aspar-; | agus doth mollify the belly gently.” We should imagine the next remedy | to he of doubtful efficacy: “To hearej I well. Stop up the tares with good dry j sewet.” Let us turn from these plain speci fies to those which owed their value; to an occult influence. Life and death of an Oyster- The life es a shell-fish is not one of unvarying res!. Observe tlie phases of an individual oyster from the mo ment of its earliest embryo life, inde pendent of maternal ties, to the eon summation of its destiny, when the knife of fate shall sever its muscular chords, and doom it to entombment in a | living sepulchre. How starts it forth j into the world of waters? Not, as un-j enlightened people believe, in the shape of a minute, hivalded, protected, I grave, fixed and steady oysterling. No, J it enters upon its career all life and motion, flitting about in the sea asgay lyand lightly as a butterly or swallow skims through the air. Its first ap pearance is a microscopic oyster-cher ub, with wing-like lobes flanking a mouth and shoulders unencumbered with inferior crural prolongations. It passes through a joyous and vivacious juvenility, skipping up and down, as if! m mockery of its heavy and immovable! parents. It voyages from the oyster-j PENFIELD, GA. JUNE 5, 1852. bed to oyster-bed, and, if in luck, so as to escape the watchful voracity of the thousand enemies that lie in wait or prowl about to prey upon youth and in experience, at length, having sown its wild oats, settles down into a steady, j solid, domestic oyster. It becomes the ! parent of fresh broods of oyster-cher ubs. As such it would live and die, j leaving its shells, thickened through; old age, to serve as its monument j throughout all times—a contribution towards the construction of a fresh ge ological epoch, and anew layer of the j earth’s crust —were it not for the glut i tony of man, who, rending this sober citizen of the sea from his native bed, carries him unresisting to busy cities and hum of crowds. If handsome, well-shaped and well-flavored, lie is in troduced to the palaces of the rich and noble, like a wit, or a philosopher, or a poet, to give additional relish to their sumptuous feasts. If a sturdy, thick backed, strong-tasted individual, fate consigns him to the capacious tub of the street fishmonger, from whence, dosed with coarse black pepper and pungent vinegar, embalmed partly af ter the fashion of an Egyptian king, he is transferred to the hungry stomach of a costermonger. —Quarterly Review. Sigii3 ofPiosperous Farmers. When lights are seen burning in the house before the break of day, in win ter especially, it shows t hat the day will never break on the breaking in of the winter of adversity. When you see his barn larger than his house, it shows that he will have large profits and small afflictions. When you see him driving his work instead of his work driving him, it shows that he will never he driven from good resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. When you see in his house more lamps for burning lard or grease than candlesticks for more expensive pur pose. It shows that economy is light ing his way to happiness and plenty with that light which should enlighten every farmer in the world. When you always see in his wood house a sufficiency for three months or more, it shows that he will be more than a nine day’s wonder in farming op erations and that lie is not sleeping in his house after a drunken frolic. When he lias a house separate from the tnaine building, purposely for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel to transport them, it shows that he never built bis dwelling to be a funeral pile for bis family and perhaps himself. When his hog pen is boarded “inside and- out, it shows that he is “going the whole hog,” keeping plenty inside the house and poverty out.” When his sled is housed in summer and his farming implements covered both winter and summer, it is plian he will have a good bouse over his head in the summer of early life and the win ter of old age. When his cattle are properly shelter ed and fed in winter, it evidences that he is acting according to scripture which says that “a merciful mail is merciful to his beast.” When lie is seen subscribing fora newspaper and paying in advance, it shows that he is speaking like u book ! respecting the latest improvements in I agriculture and that lie never gets his j wa.king papers to the land of poverty. ; What's in A Name?” I It is admitted that a rose will smell as sweet by any other name, but 1 know of no law of Nature which can comrnu j uicate the fragrance of that queen of j flowers to a substance naturally desti tute of that property, whatever mav |he its name, liven Christian names jdo not uniformly transfer the qualities of those from whom they have been borrowed. The most resentful man 1 ever knew rejoiced in the name of Mo ses. He who was a proverb for rust less impatience was known as Job. 1 have seen many men named Solomon; who never reminded me of the wisdom! of the great Hebrew ruler; and the most’ perfect specimen of physical imbecility 1 that ! have ever seen gloiied in the name of Samson.

Joe looked wise and doubtful. “Ifyou don’t believe it you may go to the house and take it from her own tips.” Joe took him at his word : the old man fdlowed on to see the result, and found Joe kissing Mary very sweetly. “ What on earth are you about?” “ Oh, taking that awful tough story from her own lips —but I am satisfied j now !” For the Temperance Banner. Ac appeal to the People of Ge orgia- Mr. Editor : —Allow me to make an appeal, through your paper, to the peo ple of our State, in relation to the re peal ol the Liquor License Law—which you may publish without endorsing it, but merely to give me a hearing. In making this appeal, 1 am satisfied of my inability to give the subject the justice it requires—but 1 hope 1 may lie able to call tbe attention of those v. 11> are able to do so. in order that I they may discuss the subject in its j true light. The evil of the Liquor License Law has lorg been tolerated by our laws, us |it seems, without u due conception of its monstrous and active influence in the perpetration of crime, au i the crea tion of degradation and misery in bur land, us the history of our country will affirm. The millions who have become sufferers and victimized by the retail use of ardent spirits seems to have no check upon the consciences of men ; and that ull-grasping spirit of gain which seems to possess the souls of men has no bound or limit to its eagerness. Our State authorizes the granting of license for the sale of ardent spirits; and then they are dealt out to the peo ! pie—some of whom become intoxicated I and in a fit of iuebriacy commit rnur- I der or some other transgression of the law—for which they are tried and con demned by that same power. Now is this not great inconsistency in our laws? The voice of the people has al ways been that the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of strong drink was depriving us of our liberties. Tho murderer and the. thief can, with the same propriety, say the same thing— for they have the same right to cut a j man’s throat and steal as others have to be the means, or rather deal out the 1 most powerful and active agent to ef fect the same end—the retail of urdent spirits. In order that our government may show true consistency in her justice dealing laws, let her repeal the license law—let her show to the world her true wisdom and soberness—let her say to the world she is tut “a nation of drunkards.” If any man should be guilty of deal ing rut arsenic poison to kill his neigh bor, lie would immediately be arraigned at the bar of justice and condemned to death for the atonement of the crime. But still, that same justice will license men, for petty sum of money, to kill by degrees, countless thousands, and con sign millions of innocent wives and children to starvation ! while the ven | ders are chuckling over their ill-gotten Ins, protected by the strong urm of the law. This, 1 say, is entirely in opposition to reason and justice. Anil yet, for merely the satiation of a hellish appe tite— for the cake of a momentary pleas ure followed by, perhaps, an eternal consignment to misery and woe ; this infernal traffic receives the approbation and encouragement of a Christian gov ernment, and that for a sum of money ! O ! that word liberty afftids a cloak ; fora monstrous devil. How much the: word or term is abused when applied | as a guarantee to deal out the cursed 1 ! fluid. i The civil rights of our country—the promotion of the Christian religion—the! j cultivation of our intellect—the rights of peaceful citizenship—the protection ‘ of our females—the advancement of morals—the security and force of the \ law—the cause of human progress an 1 general refinement of men and women,’ requires and demands the prohibition of the liquor traffic. Will not som i of our wise and phil anthropic men take the matter in hand? Are they afraid of popular opinion ? Or do they depend upon niura suasion to do the work ? If they do, they will lio down in llieir graves to rest and leave the work as near its accompli b ; merit os it is now—ami no further, i ! say, let some of our influential and eri ! ergotic men give the subject a free and full discussion. Let them agitate it among the people, and convince them iof the inconsistency of the law in the 1 licensing of the liquor traffic. When ! ihe attention of the people has been j I called fully to the subject, their good , ’ sense of justice and equity will induce, them to embrace the principles ol'uboi j tailing Hie traffic, and not accordingly. ! It is strange —passing strange —iliai an intelligent people should see un i ac knowledge an evil, and not lake meas uses fur its removal. To hear the bit ter cries of grief and misery—to see the mulcierous knife reeked in human blood —to see naked and starving ohil-; dren—io witness the outrage es tjie: law—the daily perpetration, of crime, , does not seem to move the popular opiu-, ion of our country. Men of Georgia, 1 appettl to you in behalfof justic -, to give this subject a thorough, cool and dispassionate consid eration. The happines of unborn thou sands demands it of you—while thou-j sands of innocent lernules and helpless | children ure appealing to you for pro- ’ tectiori in tones of supplicating prayers, j Let not popular opinion dismay you, j nor the bitter curse of a rumseller daunt you in your purpose—but take a firm and steady step, and fearlessly de-{ fend tho cause of justice and human’ happiness. Let our State—the “Empire State ofj | the South,” be foremost in this grand i and all-important refbnmuion of her I [laws. Lot the true Spartans of the! reformation ugilate and discuss the sub ’ ieot before the people treelv and open- j i ly—independently and fearlessly. Lei ’ no trivial cause induce them to yield inch of their ground ; hut let them lis ten attentively and feelingly to the cries of woe and misery, and that will spur them vigorously on to the consum mation of their object. Can any man dare to believe—can our law.makers dare to believe that the Great Jehovah, the Creator of Heaven and earth, and our eternal Judge and the Giver of all good gifts, approves the law that grants license to create so much misery and woe, and crimes in numerable, and of the most aggravated character- No! no! let every honest man and gentleman answer. The very nature and principle of justice answer no. The very inmost soul—when not perverted by sin and crime into an un feeling and insensible state, answers no! in conclusion, let me ask the people to consider this subject unprejudiced— oooly and dispassionately. Let them take into consideration the good and : gracious laws of the Divine, and com j pare them with the existing Liquor Li cense Law, and they will see at once ! that it cannot meet the approbation of Heaven. And again, 1 say, let our champions in the grand and imposing crusade and reformation come out bold ly, fearlessly and independently, and proclaim the right and duty of legisla tion upon the subject. C. 11. c. w. Augusta, Ga., May 17,1852. Unde Ren : —lt was a glorious day, the 15th of May, when the 4th anniver sary ol Monroe Division, 8. of T. was celebrated. The sun never shone brighter, and certainly i never heard ! the birds sing more sweetly than on I that lovely Saturday morning, and i thought I nature smiles upon the tem j peranee reform, and j tins with the j Sons in giving “Uncle Dabney” a j cheerful welcome, notwithstanding the grocery keepers looked vexed and ! grumbled, and I know would have re joiced if the good old man, with the whole team of patriarchs and Sons ere ull buried in the depths of the ocean, never more to rise again. At about 10 o’clock, the Sons ull re paired to the Division room, where they formed and marched in procession with i a band of music, to the Methodist ! Church; as 1 watched the Sjiis move | up the aisle and take their seats in front, it seemed that certainty there must have been witchery in those regalias, for 1 am certain that the gen tlemen whose shoulders they graced never seemed so handsome before.— There was a crowded house, and “Un cle Dabney’’ certainly never hud a j more attentive audience before, and I j really think he must have tried him self that morning; hut he spoke as lie | always does, to the point. The little i boys gazed with admiration upon him ; j and many u little fellow did 1 see that j morning with ears and mouth wide I open, b mding eargerly forward, us j though they feared they might lose I something lieli and funny, lie ud. | dressed the ladies eloquently during his speech, and long will liis memory he jenshriveued in the hearts of the ladies of Monroe, lie is little in person, but no one denies that he possesses u big soul, full of kind and generous let lings. Many 100, on first seeing him, might think he had by no means a very come ly face, but after seeing him a while and hearing him speak, the ladies at least, ull agree that he is quite a hand some old gentleman. At night all met again in the court- house, where an excellent address was delivered by Rev. C. D. Davis, the Worthy Rutriarcb, who boldly advoca ; ted the temperance cause for u short time, when Uncle Dabney being called lor, liguin richly entertained us loi a : while. He had just been presented, (by a little girl) a few moments before, with a beautiful boquett of flowers, ele ganntly put up, and be seemed to cher ish those flowers as though they were! worth their weight in gold; and the; reason why sucli kind mementoes were precious to him, he said because they told of the love and esteem of the little ; girls and the ladies. Who could liave resisted such ap.! peals as he made for the cause of tern- j perance ? Several gave their names j to join the Division of the Sons ir: Mon roe, und were initiated that night among whom wasour beloved Minister, the Rev. Mr. N. . All left the house with regret, at least I did, for it j seemed that I could have staved ‘and j listened to the old apostle uil night am never tired, but the good book says, ‘there is a time for all things,’ & Uncle Dabney was worn down 1 know. The next day being Sabbath, he stayed and preached for us in the Methodist Church. Ah! that was a precious fieason, and many will bless that day. ft seemed that w 6 wete carried back to the olden limes, when the apostles lived, “when the glory of the Son came down,” and wo were filled with the Holy Spirit. j.\or_\ heart was touched, and many a mother will remember his appeals to j them on behalf of their children. We were loth to give up the dear uid man, and grieved to have him leave, and not a soul in Monroe but what re -1 gretted his departure, (save the grocery keepers,) God forgive them, for it seems if their conciences are not too much seared, they must by this time f eel sadly burdened with guili, at what they have already done for poor women and ciiildien übout Monroe. But may ‘the good effects of Uncle Dabney’s visit belong felt, und the influence of tho .■Tions continue, und God grant that the temperunce reform may go on until (hum shops and dram drinkers arc no w bet e to be found in ull our happy land A FJiIEND OF THE SONS.
