jM-MJL 2- ®!tH fjcratd and.^drcrtisq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, August 17, 1838. PEACE AND LOY c.. Sweetheart, if Peace end hove were one, How goldea bright, from sen to sun. The summer hours would come and go. So darkened now with fear and woe— If Peace ami Love were one! Ah! why, beneath the changing sky, AVI:mi Loves pursues, doth fair Peace fiy, And at the portal of the heart When young Love knocks,doth Peace depart- Beneath the changing sky? Yet if we 'twixt the twain must choose. If either Peace or Love must lose, Shall we not, cry, “Come, Love, with Pain, Though never Peace return again!”— If ’twixt tiie twain we choose? Alas! not till Life sighs, “Adieu!” Not till tho red rose bloom is through, Comes Peace to lie upon Love’s breast, With roses white to ctowu his rest— Not till Life sighs. “Adieu 1" —Katharine P. Williams in Harper’s Weekly. She Was Thoroughly Satisfied. It takes a good deal to disturb the equanimity of a thoroughly well ordered mind, as the following' incident illus trates: Old Aunt Sally Pratt, till her life a resident of a certain New England vil lage, was one day sitting by her favorite window in an upper chamber of her house. The afternoon was warm and Aunt Sally suddenly dropped asleep. The window was open, and, ten minutes later, the old lady fell forward, and, to the borrow of several persons who saw her, she fell out of the window to the ground below. When picked up she gathered herself together in an amazingly short time, glanced up at the window and said calmly: “Well, well; I’ve often set at that winder an’ wondered how it’d feel to go a-tumblin’ out it, and now I know. Well, well, well! Queer how things do turn out sometim.es.” The fact that she had turned herself out of the window gave her no concern, although she narrowly escaped being killed.—Detroit Free Press. Swine’s I’lcsli as a Food. The explanation once offered, that the Mosaic prohibition of certain animals, especially the hog, as food, was founded in profound hygienic wisdom, is not now considered satisfactory. Pork in good condition is recognized to be as healthful food as other meats in the same condi tion throughout the world, and it is now eaten with the same immunity in Syria as in Ohio. The modern Israelites offer most interesting notes to the ethnologist by their continued preservation, in • the midst of a high civilization, of the re ligious taboo of savagery. This rite has had paramount influence beyond that of their written doctrines, in their segrega tion from the nations in which the}' have sojourned; and, now that it is becoming less strictly observed, there are evidences of their ceasing to be a peculiar people.— Science. A Pioneer’s Farnly Basket. It was early in March, long years ago, when one of the pioneer settlers of Ox ford county made up his mind to move his family from Massachusetts to that favorite region. He had seven little ones and feared they could not endure so long a journey and the piercing cold. How do you think he took care of them? The father obtained from a neighbor a great basket, twelve feet by six, and four feet liigli. It was fitted on an ox sled and was made for the purpose of transporting grass seed. The seven little ones were packed in straw in‘ this basket, liko so many kittens or pigs, and made the jour ney safe and warm. The basket is yet preserved by the pioneer’s descendants. —Lewistion Journal. Queer Fancy of a Collector. A man in Denver, Colo., named Lyon, is said to have a collection of over 700 pens, no two alike. Some are of steel, some gold, some amalgam, and so on. There are pens pointed fine enough to make lines of microscopic delicacy, and others intended for men who use the first personal pronoun a great deal in their correspondence. The collection em braces specimens from England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and other European countries, besides America and Canada. Some are in shape like shovels, others re semble a section of stove pipe, and others are delicate and diminutive.—Scientific American. Uses of Muskrats’ Fur. A Maine fur dealer says that it is aston ishing the uses to which muskrats’ fur are put. The skins are taken at the city establishments, clipped, colered and put into such shape that they very closely re semble otter, and, if not sold for that are at least represented to be much bet ter than they really are. The fur is never sold for what it really is. but is fixed up to look like something finer, and charged for accordingly.—Boston Budget. For Underground Electric Wires. A Pittsburg man lias invented a glass conduit which he thinks solves the prob lem of underground electric wires. Plates of glass are grooved on the upper sur face, and the wires are laid in the grooves and cemented there with pitch. Then other plates of glass are laid over the first, and wires put upon them in the same way. When all the wires are laid the whole is enclosed in a wooden box and embedded in cement.—New York Sun. Photographs of Lightning. Photographs of lightning#flashes.,re cently secured by A. H. Binden. of _ Wakefield, Mass., are most interesting pictures, proving the fact (before sus pected) that the flashes have a sinuous or rotary motion, being twisted like a rope or ribbon during its progress to the earth. The cloud effects in the pictures are also verv fine.—Boston Post. Some of Edison’s Tricks. Years ago, when Thomas A. Edison was a telegraph operator in the office of the old Franklin company, on Wall street, New York, he was continu ally getting himself into trouble by perpetrating electrical pranks on his brother operators. The instruments. in those days were placed on shelf like desks ranged along the walls of the op erating room, and Edison’s place was in a corner of the room. Here he concocted all his schemes for making Lie miserable to every one and everything about him. The office seemed the rendezvous for all tho cockroaches in the lower part of the city, and Edison hit on a novel plan to exterminate them one by one. He rigged up a wire along the wall, and then catching one of tho insects put it to death in the short and painless fashion approved by Commodore Gerry. One by one the insects were “sparked out” of existence until finally Edison became known to the Franklin boys as “Cock roach Tom.” In the cloak room was a large tank generally filled with ice water, beside which hung a tin dipper on a nail in the wall. Edison connected this nail with a wire at the other end of which were 190 cells of Fuller battery, strong enough to make one think be had been struck by the paddle wheel of a Fall river steamer. The future “Wizard of Menlo” then placed a sign below the dipper request ing all to “please return this dipper.” His request was heeded. The dipper was never taken down, but there were a dozen or more wrenched arms in the office in less than an hour. All this time the youthful 'inventor was working on the quadruplex telegraph scheme which he afterward perfected, and which is now the principal system in use by the Western Union company.— New York Telegram. Crowding Out the Needy. “Another girl I know of, who gradu ated at Vassar, imbibed there so much energy and enthusiasm that sho could not settle down to the life of a common place daughter of the household. She must work, she said, ‘ and she would* * teach. They live in a neighboring subur ban city, where her father is prominently concerned in public school affairs, and it was, of course, easy for him to procure her an agreeable place. So she teaches, driven to her classroom every morning by a liveried coachman, while the white hands which so daintily wield the pointer at the blackboard sparkle with rings, any one of which exceeds in value the sum she earns as a teacher in a whole year. “But think of the equally intelligent, efficient young woman she is putting aside. Somebody wants that place, not to occupy herself, but to make her daily bread. “Why, only the other day mamma was called upon to interest herself in be half of a young gentlewoman with an in valid father to support. She painted ex quisitely, but found it impossible to dis pose of her work. One prominent dealer in art bric-a-brac told her when she mentioned a price for the articles she of fered him that but little more than cov ered the cost of the materials: “ ‘Oh, I. could not pay so much as that; they are worth it, no doubt, but I can get them cheaper. Plenty of fash ionable women do this sort of thing, you kn8w u ’ he went on, not without a certain pride in his voice, either, ‘women who drive up here in their carriage, who work for the pleasure of it, ajrd who spend the money I pay them right here in my shop for more materials.’ “Now, does that seem fair? Which is why I say,” finished this fair champion of justice, logically repeating her open ing projxisition, “that there ought to be a society for the suppression or regula tion of amateur industry.”—New York Times. New Method of “Swearing.” As a party of Scotch concert singers was traveling in Australia, the members of it were obliged to take an exceedingly difficult road, in order to follow their specified route north from Brisbane. Sometimes, during the hardest day’s journey, they were obliged to walk up the long hills, urging along the horses, which accomplished about three yards at each pull. Finally, at. the foot of a formidable ascent, the driver volunteered a piece of valuable information. “Folks generally swear here,” said he. “It makes the horses go better.” No doubt; but we could never think of —<— The very thing! use the names of Scotch songs. We started up the hill. “Jo-o-ohn Grumlie!” shouted one. “Ye Banks and Bra-a-es!” shrieked another. “Get up and Bar the Door—oh,” yelled a third, frightening one of the leading horses, who sticks manfully into his collar. On we go. “Ob, why left I my Ha-a-me!” takes us an immense distance. “Castles in the Air!” gets the coach up about fifteen yards. “We’re a’ Noddin’,” delivered with impassioned fervor, makes a great differ ence in the speed. “My Heart's in the Highlands!” in despairing accents, sends up a slope, while “Tam Glen,” “Ower the Hills and FarAwa-a-a!” in fierce, excited tones by the entire company brings us, hoarse, perspiring and ex hausted, to the mountain’s brow. Youth’s Companion. How Wordsworth Composed. Wordsworth mainly composed his poems during his rural rambles. It was not an unusual circumstance for him to write with a slate pencil on a smooth piece of stone his newly made lines.— Home Journal. The profession of dinner tasting has been revived in Paris with some success, Tho Envelope for Use. Never use a square envelope. Few are the male offenders in this respect, but many, alas! the culprits of the gentler sex. A square envelope, large or small, but especially large, is anathemd in the eyes of the postal clerk. Use an oblong envelope of a moderately large size—a government No. 4 1-2 or No. 5, corre sponding nearly to the ordinary station er’s No. 6, is the best for general letter writing purposes and for small manu scripts. An envelope which the en closure can just be squeezed into is an abomination to the sender, and particu larly to the recipient when he attempts to return the letter to its envelope, and sees it break open the whole edge.—Horace London in The Writer. California’s Redwood Forests. The magnificent redwoods which ex tend along the coast ranges, from Mont erey bay to Siskiyou, constitute of course the chief timber resources of the state. It is from these forests that the major part of the lumber used in the state since the American occupation lias been ob tained. The drain on these forests has necessarily been enormous. In those red wood forests adjacent to San Francisco bay, and lying in the counties of San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Alameda, most of the mer chantable timber in the original growth has been removed long ago. Fortunately the denudation of these forests has not produced a scene of utter desolation, such as is sometimes pictured in the mind as following in the wake of the lumber man’s ax. In the greater portion of these worked over forests, where the stumps have not been removed to make way for fruit tree or vine, the great vitality of the redwood has asserted itself, and a dense growth of samplings has sprung from the mutilated butts and are rapidly approaching a merchantable con dition. The same phenomenon of nature re storing the redwood forests is witnessed in such parts of Mendocino and Hum boldt counties as the lumberman has already culled. An interesting illustra tion of the renewal of these magnificent forest trees is presented in the canyons on the east side of the Contra Costa and Ala meda county range, within a few miles of this city, and along the forest clad slopes of Mount Tamalpais, and the ranges of Sonoma and Napa comities. Tho redwood forests on the range east of St. Helena, in the latter county, supplied all the ties used in the construction of the Napa Valley railway, and the new growth has been drawn upon for years past for posts and 6takes for the vine yards and orchards that are taking the place of tho forests.—San Francisco Bulletin. - For Freckles and Sunburn. Washing the face with acid buttermilk is a country cosmetic, still in favor for sunburn, freckles and scaly skin. The juice pressed from cucumbers is alto gether preferable, and, though ol old repute, is a fashionable London prepara tion. The juice of milkweed also is a proprietary lotion for the face, sold by modish cosmetic artist3 abroad. These vegetable lotions being gummy, protect ing and detersive, refine the skin, and, unlike spirituous washes, do not bring out the hair on the cheeks. A seraglio secret to take away wrinkles is to heat an iron shovel red hot, throw on it a spoon ful of myrrh in powder, and smoke the face over it, covering person and shovel with a sheet to keep in the fumes. Re peat this three times, heat the shovel again, and pour on it two spoonfuls of white wine, steaming the face with it three times. This rite is to be repeated night and morning until the effect is gained. x Plantain water is very softening for the face. But vaseline nabbed on the skin of the neck and face every night faithfully will keep wrinkles at a distance for long years beyond their usual appear ance. It should be generously applied, left for the skin to absorb a few minutes, and the excess wiped gently of# with a soft cloth. A3 vaseline is twepty-five cents a pound, which lasts a year, this is the cheapest as well as the safest cos metic. This should always be applied before going into the hot sun, for long walks or rides, as well .as domestic work in heated rooms. The skin must always be washed clean with warm water and fine soap, and well dried before using any application, and man or woman al ways wants to go to bed with face and neck thoroughly and freshly washed. Sleeping with the imperceptive dust of the day in the skin, clogging and grim ing, it is a great cause of wrinkles.— Shirley Dare’s Letter. A WORD IN SEASON. can produce its superior.

ITS .USE FOR KIDNEYS. J escp, Ga., May, 25,1887. I have been suffering from kidney, disease for a month past, and the pain in my back was very severe. My occupation requires a good deal of writing at night, and I suffered all the time. I saw one man who said he was cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B B. B) and! commenced using it. and the pain is a great deal less. I have only used two bottles, and I believe it will effect a cure by the use of a few more bottles. Yours respectfully, J. E. Coleman.

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from an acute attack of rheumatism,caused by'undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I-heard your remedy highly recommended, andypur- chased a bottle from Moncrief A Bro., Pres cott, Ark. In about one month, after vising this bottle he became so much better that I got the second bottle, which is now being-us ed, and my son is nearly well, and I thinklby removing him to a cooler summer clima’te (which I will do) and continuing its use, ^ perfect cure will be effected.

THE WORLD CHALLENGED. To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make hold to claim tl v e followin 0 * special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market. That it consists of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never been equaled in any medieine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of anv other remedv. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are willing for B 13 B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood remedv we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it. They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say ; Inquire of your neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates : Waiting to B« Eaten. Of the natives of New Georgia or Rubiana. Capt. Cheyne avers that human flesh forms their chief article of diet. The doctor observes: “It is difficult to specu late on the reflections of the victim, as he lives from day to day in constant expec tation of his fate.” There is reason to believe that this expectation does not produce the agonizing ten-or which most Europeans under the circumstances would experience. In the time not very far distant, when cannibalism prevailed in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at all events, the custom of a chief when stalling on a war expedition to take with him, fastened together, a number of men whom he already held as cap tives; these men served as a living lardei’. Each of them knew (hat his turn to be killed and eaten would ccme; nevertheless with the certainty of this doom before him he partook of each of his fellows whose death preceded his own; and Capt. Wilkes, in bis account of his exploring expedition, stated that King Thekambeau appropriated one of the small islands of the Fiji group as a human preserve. Every man imprisoned there knew that he would ultimately serve as a food for his majesty, and such alike were the loyalty and indifference as to death of these victims that, when questioned by Capt Wilkes as to their feelings on the mattv, they expressed a kind of acquiescence in their fate, and used words to the effect that it was quite proper that the king should be thus pro vided for.—Westminister Review. A REMARKABLE LETTER. Down Two Years With: rheumatism and Sow Entirely Well. I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly ail the time. At night could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints. I was al most discouraged until about two weeks ago, when I had to give up businessMr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing ofmy com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it snight relieve me, but not having much faith in it., or in anything else: but, thank God, I am very imicn relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pam whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as- ever.

She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I used about. 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation.

Self consciousness is probably the greatest enemy to beauty, either of per son or manner, and it is curious it is a vice (for one really wants to call it that) that American women are mostly affected by. In them self consciousness usually arises from a very great desire to please, which, while commendable, is often just as nerve exciting as it is to the one con cerned. An English woman in her per fect certainty that everything is right, that whatever she does is good form, gain3 the quiet of an Alderney cow. Now, what the American woman wants to do is to reach the entire lack .of self consciousness possessed by a well bred French woman, to gain some of the re pose of the English woman, and yet to retain her own special and absolutely in describable charm. I have seen this among the young Quakeresses, but ex cept among them and in families where great care was given to the girls, this case is seldom seen.— “Bab” in Philadel phia Times. I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recom mended prepar ations or patent medic nes on. the market , as I have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of vears. from a severe form of in flammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one j ear ago,* I was induced by a friend now living in Tvler to try a preparation known as o if., or botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made np no inind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and now it affords me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am ent ire- ]v cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing proper ties of B.

The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time i had only eaten six meals and could scarcely sit up without support; but after us- j n c ihree bottles I was able to rfflish my meals and to walk up town, and after six bot tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cared, and not the slightest pain felt sine! that time. When I returned to business io February my weight was 14o pounds, but gradually increased until my regular weight was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticea ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalleled and remarkable dis covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at the very time my sufferings and misery were the greatest. I take it on. myself as a practi-. caf druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as conscientiously, recommend tins glonous b?ood remedy to all suflferers from rheuma tism or blood troubles, and not only myself, but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle it, will cheerlully indorse ol McKay & Adams, Tyler, Texas.
