Nj apology is needed at this timo
for reproducing tho following lines bv
tlio lamented Alico Cary—linos, which
in tho judgment of so competent a
critic as Edgar A. I’oo, dosorvos to
rank amor g tho very finost contribu
tions to tho poetic literature of this
country:
Os nil the beautiful pictures
That hang ou Memory’s wall,
/•,onc> dim old forest,
That sceisetlj best of all:
• Nut for its glnrlcd oaks oldin,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle vale below t
Nor for the milk w litre little*
That lean f-oin the fragrant hedge
Coquetting nil day with the sunbeams,
ytud stealing their goldcu edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Ifhere the bright, red berries rest i
jVorthe pinks, nor the pale, sweet cowslip,
it seemeth to me the best.
1 once had a little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep -
in the lap of that olden forest
Ilelieth in peace asleep;
I,Hit as the down of the thistle,
free as the winds that blow,
fTc roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago ;
iJut his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the Autumn eves
1 made Cor my little brother
A bod of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly liia pale arms folded
My neck in a meek embrace,
A» the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered liis face.
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright
lie fell in his saint like beauty.
Asleep by the gates of light.
'ilicrcfore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory’s wall,
Theoneof the dim old forest
Seemeth best of all.
Something About Scarlet Fe
ver.
Editors Telegraph ami Messenger: As
tho scarlet fever lias matlo its appear
auco in many places in Georgia, and
probably will prevail to an alarming
extent, I vonturo to make tho follow
ing suggestions, wishing it to ho un
derstood that lam not a physician.
What I write is tho result of observa
tion in my own family ;
About twenty years ago scarlet fo
ver made its appearance in the villiagp
of . My family physician immed
iately informed me of tho * fact, with
tho caution that I had bettor look to
■iny children. Fooling pretty woll as
sured that I would not be able to pre
vent its spread in my family, I con
cluded that I would pay a visit or two
to a beautiful little girl, tho daughter
of ono of my neighbors, who had con
tracted tho disease, that I might in
form myself of the disease, and its
treatment, with tho view of dicing rea
dy for it when it reached my family.
I found the little girl exceedingly rest
less with a very fine, wiry and rapid
pulso, her eyos bloodshot, with great
heat about lior body. Tier extremi-
ties rather disposed to bo cool, with an
occasional eruption upon her limbs
Itoccured to mo that instead of giving
her medicine, tho best* treatment to
bring out the eruption would bo to put
her foot in warm water up to her
knoos, and swatho her body and throat
with towels wrung out of cold water,
to bo removed as fast as they acquired
tho high tomporature of her body, un
til it teas reduced to tho sweating
point, then to bo taken oif At tho
same time that the towels woro ap
plied, to give her little pellets of ice to
swallow. And so thinking, I stated
niy views to the physician in attond
&&co. lie did not agro# with mo, but
porsovered in liis own treatment, a
part of which I recollect to have scon
calomoi and ipecac in small dosos at
intervals. Tho fevor never abated,
and in a day or two tho little child
diod. In a very short timo one qf my
little daughters was taken with the
disease. And I hero state that por
haps I carried tho infection home with
me in my clothing. The very first on
set of tho disease was terrific. In a
half hour from tho timo of her attack
she was barely sonsiblo, hor skin quito
cool being in a chill, accompaniod with
vomiting and purging, with horo and
thoro an eruption upon her limbs.
Ihe chill lasted two hours. Tho "*fo-
vor that followed oxcoodod anything
of tho kind that I havo ever seon. You
couldn’t with any comfort to yourself,
put your hand upon any part of her
body, especially between her arms
ft nd chest, so intense was tho heat ot
hor body. I sent for tho physician ot
°>y family. 110 at onco determined
upon tho same courso of treatment
" liich ho had unavailingly followed in
the caso of tho little girl before allud
cd. to. I askod him to toll mo what a
post mortem examination disclosed in
fatal cases of that disease, lie said
that in such cases, the eruption which
ou ght to appear upon tho surfaco pep
purod the whole alimentary canal, and
proceeded to inflamation. I suggost
°d to him if that was tho case, it seem-
ed to me that his remedies would add
fuel to the flamo. lie insisted that
with such a fever as my child had,
tuere would bo an accumulation of
morbid secretions, which, if not rc
moved, would themsolvos occasion In
humation. And I ropliod to him, if
‘hut wore so, I didn’t think ho could
'■'mwt with certainty upon tho action
ol his remedies. On tho contrary, I
‘ought tho- chances wore, with such
a lover, against such action as ho de
*>ifed, atul that thoy would only irri
ute the stomach still more, and per
laps to that of iullamation And, not
to multiply words, his troatment had
not succeeded in tho caso of tho littlo
girl who had diod. Nothwifhstanding,
ho was not to ho movod from his pur
pose- I told him that I was unwil
ling for my child to tako his medi
cines, hut requested him to continuo
his visits. 1 gavo my child no raodi
cino for throe day’s, and now and than
I put on a wot towel about lior chest
and throat, but w ithout that perso
vornneo in my application which was
necessary to success ; for my physi
cian alarmod tho whole neighborhood
with tho statemont that I was treat
ing my own child against his ad
vico, and that my trnatmont was not
suited to hor caso. Bo that whon any
ono of them camo in and saw what I
was doing thoy each took tho sido of
tho physician, and my child growing
no. better at tho end of throo days, I
yeildod against my own convictions to
the councel of my physician, and ad
ministered half a grain of calomel and
half a grain of ipecac. 'ln half an
hour my child was in convulsions; and
I thought sho would die. Tho phy
sician ndministorod some anodyne, and
whon reaction had taken place, feeling
assured that I had attributed tho con
vulsions to his medicines, ho said to
mo : ‘’You will always believe that
my medicines brought on tho convul
sions,” to which I replied that I cer
tainly should always think so. “Well”
said ho, “I’ll compromise with you. If
you’ll allow her to tako a quarter of a
grain of calomel and a quarter of a
grain of ipecac every two hours, and
you find, after giving tho first dose,
that herjpulse is accelerated and her fe
ver increased by it, I will givo my
sanction to your treatment; and you
apply your towels and give hor ico ad
libitum This was all that I wanted.
He had thus, by assuming the respon
sibility, placed mo where I felt fro® to
act upon my judment, and I assented
to his proposition. Before giving her
tho modicino I broko up a quantity of
ioe in little pellets, convenient for swal--
lowing, and got a bowl of cold water
with six or eight towels, and them
where I could handlo them conven
iently, and gavo her a dose of the
medicine. In loss than two minutes
from tho timo sho took it there was
such a change in tho quickness of hor
pulso that it troubled mo to count it.
I at onco commenced giving hor tho
ico in little pellets, directing her to
swallow them, accompanied with the
application of towels prossod out of
cold water, about her chest and throat,
renewing them as fast as thoy acquir
ed tho temperature of hor body ; and
by perseveranco in this treatment for
ono hour, Iso lowered tho tempera
ture of hor body that, discovering a
littlo perspiration on hor upper lip I
took otf my towels, and her body was
literally covered with tho eruption.
In about an hour from that timo I was
to give another dose of calomel and
ipecac, according to tho directions of
my physician. But tho fever being
reduced and tho eruption out, I felt
satisfied that what sho had takon
would ho sufficient for tho purpose
contemplated. I was futher satisfied
that it was rank poison in such a dis
ease. And sure enough tho medicine
which sho takon brought away a larjp
billious discharge from hor bowels.
My treatment after that was tho free
uso of the rind or lard, b.C rubbing tho
same over tho body whenever tho irri
tation about hor skin rnado her fret
ful ; and tho use also of a wet cloth
about her threat covered over with a
dry one. My child got well,- and is
tho amanuensis through whom I make
this communication. Thoro wore
several other eases then in my family ;
all of them wero mild forms of tho dis
ease an l treated without medicine, hut
with ice and wot towels during the fe
vor, and tho bacon rind after the erup
tions broke out. They all got well.
Most of them had what tho doctors call
“desquamation of the skin after tho
disease had subsided, which is just
this : tho skin is literally deadened by
tho intense heat of tho fever and peals
off. Tho now skin is very tender, and
tho patient is then, I suspect very im-
pressible, and should not bo exposed
for several days. A little olive oil, or
some greasy preparation, might he
used iu such cases as a shield to tho
skin. I will only add futhor, that my
physician adopted my treatmout and
cured all his eases afterward.
In a conversation several years af
terward with an eminent physician of
this State, in which I detailed tho
above, he agreed that my treatment
was right and sensible, hut suggested
that tho typo of the diseaso which I
treated, though a very malignant one,
was not tho most malignant; and said
futher that he had been called to soo
somo caso whore tiie patient was over
whelmed, and died iu the first onsot ot
tho diseaso ; and that it was impossi
ble, with any amount of stimulation,
to bring about a reaction; that ho had
used brandy and laudanum, etc., with-
out any effect.
Now, I have novor seon such a case,
but with my present impressions, it 1
had a child to be in such plight, and
my physician did not think proper to
do so, I would give ioo to bo swallow
ed and rub tho skin externally with
ieo I have soon warmth rostered to
a young lady of our town within tho
last year who scorned to bo in a sink
in"- condition, and it was thought she
would dio, by tho use of ice by swal
lowing, when brandy and othor stim
ulants had failed. Tho rationale of
tho treatment is apparent when it is
considered that the diseaso, m those
very violont cases, lias almost taken
the form of inflamation, and stimu
lants, so far from allaying it must, ot
necessity, only intensify

Does he work! Docs he Btrivel Is lie faithful

Docs he know what man has done, and wliat he

Or does lie creep on with the sluggard’s slow

And refuse to take part in ambition’s proud race?
Docs lie shrink, while his neighbor, with

Is giving his strength to be first at the goal ?
If such bo his crimes, pity him if you can—
Content to be scorned aa a Moneyless Afau.
Labor, taught by tho brain, with its strong, tkllN

THE THEE OF HEATH ;
OK,
Tlie Law of Java.
BY AGILE FENNE.
Tiie full, round moon sliono down
brightly upon tho private gardens of
tho emperor’s palace, in tho pleasant
Islo of Java, far down in tho southern
seas.
The soft broezos of tho night whis
pered through tho hanging loavos, aud
tho very air was redolent with tho
perfume of flowers.
In tho midst of the rose-trees, stood
tho fairest flower that all tho Islo of
Java jield—Loila the daughter of Ja
va’s emperor, his only child.
Leila was tall and straight as tho
pahn-troo, yet possessed of all tiro
graco and liglituoss of tho swaying
vino. Eyes aud hair black as jot, lips
like tho roso-loaf, and tho skin was
fairer than the pearls that adorned
hor nock.
Leila waited by tho rose-trees.
Why waited the daughter of the
proud Emperor, Abdallah tho Third,
iri tho garden on that summer’s night?
A step sounded amid tho shru bhery
of the garden.
Leila turnod, more annoyod than
alarmed.
A manly figure approached.
The.rich dress, the jowol-liiltod sa
hor, the diamonds that sparklod in tho
young man’s turban —for lio was
young —all told that ho was a porson
of rank.
It was tho Emir, Hassan, one of the
highest nobles in tho island, and al
lied by blood to tlio Emperor.
“Leila !” ho exclaimed in astonish
ment, on beholding hor standing liko
a statue among the flowers.
Leal a-pouted ia disdain bat answer
ed not.
“I thank my good stars that di
rected my feet hither,” said the Emir,
gallantly approaching tlio girl. “Let
mfl seize this opportunity to tell the
Eiowor of Java’s laie how much she
is loved.”
Again Leilla replied not, hut turnod
away disdainfully.
“Why do you turn from mo ?” ho
asked. “Your fatkor approves my
suit.” •
“So does not my futhor s daugh
ter !” exclaimed Leila, in clear, swoot
tones.
“And why not ?”
Leila made no answer, but plucked
a rose from the hush and idly pulled
it to pieces,
“You treat me as cruelly as you do
that flower,” lio said, softly. “Shall I
toll vou why you will not lovo me ?”
Jjoila looked at tho Emir in aston
ishment.
“Becauso you lovo another .
Tho girl blushed crimson.
“Lot him botvaro ! 11 ho crosses
my path, he looks upon his death ?”
Hassan said, fiercely.
“Find my lover ; then speak your
throats,” replied tho girl, scornfully.—
“For the present your company is dis
tasteful to mo. Shall I go, or will
you?”
“Before many hours are over, you
may regret your words !”Hassan said,
angrily, and then stalked away amid
tho bushos.
Leila laughed, lowly hut merrily,
when his tall form was hidden by tiio
foliage from her sight.
Hassan had not boon gono five min
utes, when Leila hoard another step
in tho shrubbery. This timo it camo
from the direction -pf tho wall that
surrounded the garden.
Tho trend wasjeautious, as though
fearful of causing an alarm.
Loila listenod with starkling eyes,
lips apart, and a ' heaving bosom;
signs of joy—of lovo.
And then, a tall, litho form, clad in
tho handsome uniform of tho Empo
ror’s Guard, camo from the bushos.
Loila lookod for an instant into an
olivo-tintod face, lit up bv a pair of
sparkling black eyes; a face wherein
both lionosty and courngo were plain
ly written ; and then, with a tew cry
of joy, gavo horself into his arnrs.
Tho haughty daughter of Java’s
proud omporor loved an humblo sol
dier, by narno Bon liol.
“Light of my heart, onco again I
hold you in my arms!” tho soldier
cried, softly. “Once again I can hoar
your heart boating against mino.”
“Tho heart that be As for you alone !”
said Loila, looking up fondly fiito' tko_
lmndsomo faeo of tho young soldier.
“And yet, whon I think of tho gulf
that separates us, I am mad with des
pair. I hold you now to my breast;
press your lips freely ; I forget all ill
tho joy of the moment. I remember
only that you aro tho most beautiful
of women, that your heart is mino,
and that I lovo you bettor than I do
life itself. But, when lam away from
you, when my brain is calm, not whirl
ing with passion’s fires, thon I romom
bor that you aro a princoss, tho daugh
ter of my emperor, and that I am on
ly a poor soldior with nothing in tho
world but a strong arm, a stout heart,
and a sharp saber."
“With you, or away from you, I
remember nothing but our lovo!’’
criod Leila, with deep passion. “Did
you think of tho emperor’s daughter
when in tho junglo yon threw your
self before tho angry tiger, and, at
the risk of yoUr own Hie, saved mo
from his jaws ?”
“No, I only saw tho woman that I
lovod—but whom I had never darod
to tell my lovo—in danger.”
“Then when tho brute lay before
us, still in death, when your sabor
was covered with his blood, my atten
dants gone in horror, and none noar
to watch us, what did you do ?”
“I caught you in my arms, told my
lovo, and received a hundred lrissos
in reward. Again I forgot you were
tho princoss, and remomborod only
that you was tho woman that I loved !”
A rush of hasty feet, a gloaming of
torches amid tho rose-troes, and tho
lovers were surrounded by tho empe
ror and tho servants of tho palace.—
Foremost in tho throng camo tho Emir
Hassan.
“By Allah! this is too much !”eriod
the emperor, ia rage. “My daughter
in tho embrace of d#b Os tho captains
of my guard. Tear them apart and
give the slave to tho bowstring 1”
In an instant tho sabor of tho sol
dier flashed in the moonlight, while
still ho held tho girl proudly to liis
breast.
The servants fell hack before tho
glittering steel. Thoy had seon the
good right arm of Bon Liol .striko lust
ily on many a glory field. They eared
not to tasto tlio shrewd coldness of his
blade,
“Lot no man lay a finger upon mo !”
cried tho soldier. “Your majesty buck
led this saber on my thigh on tho bat
tle-field. If you demand it, it is yours.”
“Bo careful; this young captain is
the idol of tho soldiers; do nothing
without reason,” whispered an aged
noble in tho emperor’s ears.”
“Give up your sword,” tho emperor
said,
Tho soldier east it at his feet.
“You know that you havo forfeitod
yoijr life by being found within thoso
gardens iu conversation with my
daughter ; hut I will bo merciful and
give you a chance to savo your for
feited lifo. Go to tho Troo of Death ;
bring mo a casket ot the poisoned gum
that flows from the tree, and I will
spare your life.”
Leila started in joy.
“You hear, my bolovcd ?” sho whis
pered ; “you are saved !”
Tho soldier smiled, grimly ; ho knew
the nature of tho task.
“I accept tho offer, oh, omporor;
but do not thank you as if for morcy,
for I know tlio niotivo for your par
don,” and Bon Liol laughed scornful
ly. “Farewell, angel of lovo !” ho whis
pered to tho girl; “If Ido not return,
keep my memory green in your heart.”
Within an hour after, tho soldior,
guarded by a column of piokod troops,
was on his way to the desert.
After two days’ march, tho party
arrivod at their destination.
Thoy halted at tho entrance to a
reeky pass, walled in by hugo cliffs,
that a bird alone could climb.
“Beyond yonder point of rocks, you
will find a lovely hut. In the hut is
a man who will givo you tho iron cas
ket and your instructions. We will
wait for four and twenty hours,” said
tho officer in command of tue troops.
“But, I may bo longer.”
“You are going to almost certain
death ; hut three men havo ever re
turned from tho Treo of Death,’’replied
the officer.
With a palo face, hut an unshrink
ing heart, Bon Liel onterod tho valloy.
Ho found the lone house and enter
od it. The keeper, a man with a
withered frame, a pale face, and tho
air of a corpse, rose to receivo him.
The two looked at each other for a
moment in astonislimout, and then
sprung into each other’s arms.
Thoy had sorvod throughout a whole
campaign together !
“You hero cried Bon Liel.
“Yes ; in a duel I killed tho com
mander of my squadron. This is my
puuishment What have you done ? ’
Tho young soldier related what had
occurred.
1871.
■“But toU mo, what is this Tree of
Death ?” ho askod.
“It is tho doadly upas treo; tho
vapor that exhales from it is fatal to
j life, bird, boast or human, except whon
tho wind blows from tho north; thou,
ono may venture to approach the tree
through this ravino, hut tho risk is
groat, for tho wind is fieklo and apt to
change. Tho task you have to do is
to tako this iron casket and fill it full
of tho gum that oxudos from tho trunk
of tho treo. It is usod to poison tho
arrows of our soldiers, that they may
do doadly execution.”
“But, can I not toll how blows tho
wind here !”
“1% ; not until you roach tho little
valley in whioh tho treo stands. Tho
tv ay tlioro is plainly marked by the
bones that whiten on tho earth ; tho
bones of those killod by this doadly va
por. You can aoo ite effects on mo.—
has made me a living corpse; yot I
am supposed to bo far beyond its in
fluence.
“Givo mo tho casket and your
hand,” said tho soldior. “I’ll fay fare
well until wo moot Allah above. I
have littlo to wish to livo for, oven if
I succeed in escaping from this Tree
of Doatlx, my Loila is lost to mo, for
ever, and what is life without the wo
man I lovo ?”
“Nothing,” said tho other, slowly.
Thon for a moment ho was silont in
thought. “Bon Iiol,” ho said, sudden
ly, ‘ldo you romomber tho fight at Al
cnbad ?”
“Yes.”
“A hugo troopor of tho foo hold mo
prostrate beneath his sabor; you, at
tho risk of your own life, saved mino.”
“It was but my duty.”
“Life for life. I’ll requite tho sor
vieo. I will go to tho Troo of Doatli
and procure the poison. Tho vapor
will not act on mo as on you. I am
seasoned to it; bosidcs, lam sick of
lifo and wish to die. No words, if
you lovo tiro man whoso life you havo
saved.”
Ho seized the iron casket and ran
from the hut.
In an hour ho staggered in, and,
falling, laid tho casket at Ben Liol’s
foet.
“I am dying,” ho muttered i “tlio
vapor has poisoned mo, but you aro
saved ! Nay, more ; you havo a wea
pon in your hand, by moans of which
you can make your enomios tremblo.
Bow your head, that I may wliispor
in your ear tho Law of Java.”
Wo wiU now return to tho empe
ror’a palaco.
The troopers had waited four and
twenty hours. Bon Liol had not re
turned, and so, thinking him dead,
they returned aud reported tho fact.
Tho l’riucoss Leila was crushed with
sorrow.
Abdallah, tho emperor, determined
to wed her to Ilassau at onco.
Leila, motionless as a statue, said
noithor yes nor no.
Tho bridal party wore gathered in
tho great chamber, whon, suddonly,
tho ringing step of a Javanese warrior
sounded in tho hall. Ilia head and
breast wero covered with stool; tho »t
--ber rattled on his thigh, and under
liis arm ho boro an iron casket.
It was Bon Iiol!
Loila uttered a cry of joy.
“I havo dono your mission, and
there is tho proof!” criod Bon Liol,
dashing the casket down at tho em
peror’s foot. “Now, thon, lam a free
man, aud havo tho right to claim a
boon. Is it not so ?” ho askod.
“It Is,” emperor, turning
slightly pale. “What will you have, a
house and land or a golden reward ?”
“I claim the hand of your daiujlder,
Leila /” cried tho soldier, firmly.
All withiin tho hall started with
amazement, and ono old gray-hairod
noble slipped through tho doorway,
taking advantage of tho confusion.
“This is madness !” cried tho empe
ror, doadly palo.
“It is not madness !” replied the sol
dier. “I havo brought a casket of poi
•son from tho Troo of Death. For that
act I am entitled to a free pardon, and
tho right to ask ono favor at your
hands, which you are hound to grant.
II is the Law of Jar a I Call your wise
judges ! I demand notlimg hut jus
tice 1 liefuso mo and five hundred
swords without will leap from their
scabbards at my bidding. Emperor
though you are, yet you cannot break
the Javanese law!” Clear as a clari
on’s note rung his hold defiance.
- The gray-headod noble returnod in
haste.
“The guards without arc in revolt,,’
ho whispered in Abdallah’s car The
soldior has tho law on his side ; rofaso
him, and your throno is lost!”
Tho emporor ebangod his tono.
“Bon Liol, you aro right; my daugh
ter is yours ! Woo to him who breaks
tho Law of Java !”
And thus tho soldier won his lovo ;
and when, in after years, tho scepter
fell from Abdallah’s feeble hand, bold
ly tho soldier clutched it, ami reigned
as omporor ovor tlio Lslo of Java.
There is no real use in riches, ex
cept it ho in tho distribution ; the rest
is hut conceit.
A word of kindness is seldoyi spo
ken in vain. It is a seed which, even
when droppod by chaneo, spring up a
flower.
A fashionablel hut ignorant lady
wanted a costly hair shawl, but hor
husband bought her a cheap imita
tion article.—On examining it sho
found tho namo of the manufacturers
on ono corner, and wanted to know
what that was. “That ? ’ said tho
husband, ‘oh, that’s the name of tlio
camel of whoso hair tlio shawl was
made.”
Tho wife takos great prido in hor
shawl, and has no doubt of its genuia
noss.
