Whiskey and Tobacco.
THE BOY’S PLEDGE.
I will never U3e tobacco,
It is very wrong indeed,
'Twould sap my health and spoil my
This vile, narcotic weed, [breath,
Nor whiskey that intoxicates,
And fires the maddened brain;
It makes homes sad and desolate,
For thousands it has slain,
God gave me life for better ends,
And I will not abuse it
By drinking, chewing, smoking,
And so I will refuse it.
For he has said no drunkard
Shall inherit the heavenly home:
That darkness, anguish and despair,
Shall be his dreadful uoom.
Then let me to my ways take beed,
And watch, and work, and pray,
That I may enter heaven at last,
That laud of endless day.

|A Kansas Boy’s Thrilling Adventure.
‘
One winter’s day a lad named John
Wilson, with his father and two neigh>
hors, all living at the Mosquito bottom,
Kansas, staited for the plains on the
Upper Arkansas, to hunt buffalo. Game
was abundant, and the excitement of
the chase completely fascinated the boy.
It was his first experience in buffalo
hunting, and he thought he would like
to follow the wild sport all the rest of
bis days. When the men had killed
meat enough to load their wagons they
prepared to return, but John did not
want to go home.
The hunter s camp was in the shelter
j | of bank. a ‘skirt Southward of timber’ stretched on the the river's vas‘.
i j rolling prairie, and«there in> the die.
tat.ee, while his companions were busy
i cooking and packing their rations,
John could see buffaloes and antelopes
feeding. He b9gged his father to Ice
him go out and have ‘one more shot.'
His father finally yielded to his im¬
portunities, and seizing his gun and
^munition he was soon out of sight on
the prairie stealing within reach of his
game. The wild creatures discovered
him and galloped away, but John would
uot give it up.
Away went buff does and boy, the
laiter too much excited to thinly how
fruith ss such a race must be. Before
long the herd had left him far behind
Stopping to take breath and look about
him, he found that he had utterly lost
pis direction. He did not know where
, was nor yypjck wa y go.
1 camp began to wonder v\hat hud ..0 •
| come of John. His fathergrew worried,
and bis worry soon increased to terrible
anxiety. By dark the three were on
horseback roaming the prairie, shouting
the boy's name, whooping like Indians
and firing gnns.
But they did not find him that night,
nor the next day, nor the next, nor the
next, nor the next. Then Mr. Wilson
sent home as swiftly as possible and
called all his old neighbors to come and
help him bunt through Western Kansas
for his missing son. They joined him,
and kept up the search till more than
a week was gone, but all in vain.
Poor John — alone on the great
American Desert! The darkness over
took him while he was trying to guess
his way back to camp, Ho walked on
bravely, hoping to retrace the ground
he run over; hut instead of approach¬
ing the river every step only took him
further away.
A cold wind rose and blew in his
face, and by-and-by a sleet storm came
on, and the wet froze upon his clothes
till they were stiff with ice. About
midnight he -stumbled against a -clump
of bushes, and curling down under their
shelter, he fell asleep from sheer exs
haustion. In the morning he got up
and strained his eyes over the prairie,
but ail looked dreary and strange He
balanced a stick on end, and determ¬
ined to go the way it fell.
But there was po lack in the sign,
and he started off in the wrong diree
tion, as before. He walked all that day,
going he knew not whither, to sink
down at night in another weary sleep.
Ou the second day he crept near enough
to a herd of buffaloes to fire one shot,
but missed his mark.
The third day and the fourth were
spent in the same fruitless wanderjng.
In all fbat time, s nee he had left his
fathers's camp, he had not tasted foody
but, tormented with hunger as he was,
and with the ice still clinging to his
clothes, the courageous boy trudged on,
hoping to meet o.ber hunters or In¬
dians—some human beings, whether
friends or foes he did not care, if they
would only give him something to eat,
On the fifth day hisjstrength, which
had held out so wonderfully, gave out.
He stopped on the bank of a little
stream where some stunted trees grew,
and managed to scrape together some
dry fuel, which be kindled into a bright
lire by discharging his gun into it.
Here he warmed and dried himself, and
lay down and went to sleep,
When he awoke again, toward even¬
ing, it was to see a big Indian standing
near him with a gun, and the hind
quarters of an antelope strapped ou
his back.
‘How !’ grunted the Indian.
‘How yourself!’said John, crawling
to his feet.
There wes no need of more words,
(or the poor boy's haggard and famished
looks totd the whole story. In a very
short time the fire wa3 replenished and
some venison roasted, and John made
a hearty meal.
The kind Indian took him to his camp
and kept him till he was strong again,
and then showed him the way home
Three;days afterward he met his father,
with the party of neighbors who were
searching for him.
The Tools of Providence.
The Springfield Republican, com¬
menting fever upon the fact that the exodus
is gradually spreading all over
the south, nips our hope in the bud by
emarking that there is small chance,
alter all, that the movement will ever
take off more than thejiloating popula¬
tion. While even this would bo in some
respects a boon to tbe south, we are
inclined to believe that the exodus is
about to go beyond the designs of its
instigators, and we are of the opinion
that the coming spring andsummer will
put northern charity to a severe test
While wo know tnaf the real Interests
of 1116 negro lie in the south, we also
know his peculiarities of temperament;
and we know moreover, that- as long as
northern benevolence provides a fund
for those, who leave twf Jtensfcir, the
stream of negro emigrants from the
south will steadily increase until nearly
the entire colored population has made
the experiment. A while ago, we made
a i-iucere effort to advise the negroes
against this hew folly, but we are con¬
vinced (not taking into consideration
the wellfare of the colored people or
the temporary interests of the southern
farmers; that the movement is not only
calculated to subserve the best interests
-of the south, but will solve a very seri¬
ous and perplexing problem by reruov
mg the negro wholly from the arena ef
sectional politics. Both these results
are to be devoutly prayed for- never¬
theless we shall make no effort to pro
more the exodus Ou the other hand,
we shall not attempt to stay the tide.
It will open up the finest agricultural
region under the sun to all the posibili
ties that await the advent of a thriftier
class of farmers, and it will remove the
colored man forever from polities. He
may decide po ideal issues, indeed, but
he will no longer be an issue himself.
A new era will dawn upon the south.
If the result we anticipate is finally
brought about we shall not complain
bocause providence selected as its most
fitting tools the unscrupulous politicians
who inaugurated the colored exodus.—
At. \ onstitution.
There was a discussion among a
party of miners, at Leadville. as to
physical effects of hanging. Mr. Ed¬
wards declared that, on a wager of
$5, be would permit his companions to
draw him up from the bottom of a
shaft by a rope tied around his nock.
His belief was that, by throwing his
head far back the pressure of the rope
would be wholly ou the back of his
neck, and consqnently he would not
bo choked at all. His calculation proved
erroneous, for he was nearly dead when
he reached the surfaee, and it was
with great difficulty that his life was
saved.
Mary Nunn, a colored servant iu the
family of Samuel Montgomery, having
been severely reprimanded for theft,
put a large quantity of arsenic in a dish
of oatmeal. Seven out of nine persons
at the table partook of it, and were
only saved from death by the fact that
the girl had put too much poison into
the dish, producing violent nausea.
The girl is in jaii.

POISONING CASE.
From a gentleman from Twiggs coun¬
ty, we learn that the recent attempted
poisoning in Twiggs county, in which
an effort was made to poison the whole
family of Mr. C. R. Faulk, which was
mentioned in this column at the time,
excited a good deal of indignation
througnout the county, The attempt
was so well planned that it was only by
mere chance that serious consequences
did not follow.. Our informant suggests
that if the party was known there is no
telling what would happen to him.
Since the occurrence every effort has
been used to discover the person mak¬
ing the attempt. Suspicion rests strong¬
ly against two darkies, but not strongly
enough against either to warrant an
arrest. Besidos tho darkey on Mr,
Faulk’s place, who was mentioned as
being under the ban of suspicion, a
darkey by the name of Clark is also
suspected. He is hiding out, and al¬
leges as the reason that some unknown
party, one night recently, shot at him
while he was standing in his doorway,
He is reported also to have received some
strychnine from another darkey, a short
time previous to the poisoning attempt.
The deadly character of the mixture
was shown bj a small portion being
administered to a cat, producing death
in a few moments. —Macon Telegraph and

To Sweep ana Dust a Room Properly.
This is an art, and like all fine arts
has arightmethod. Well done, itreno
vates the entire room, and the occupant
takes possession feeling that all things
have become new. It is not merely a
performance to be done by the hands,
but work into which taste and "judg¬
ment, in other words brains, must enter.
Are there closets opening into the room
to be swept ? Arrange the shelves,
drawers, or clothing preparatory to
sweeping day, then let this be the first
to be swept. Coveijthebed with soiled
sheets, as also all heavy articles that
cannot be removed, first, however, hav¬
ing carefully dusted and brushed them.
Remove all the furniture that can easily
beset in the hall or adjoining room,
having first dusted it; then, taking a
step-ladder, begin to sweep or brush, or
wipe the cornices and picture-cords and
pictures. Draw the shades to the top
of the window, or, if fhere are inside
blinds, dust them carefully. Open the
windows. All the dust left in the room
now is in the carpet or air, and the cur¬
rent of the windows will soon settle it’
Now begin to sweep, not toward a door
or corner, but from tbe outer edges of
the room toward the center, where the
dust will be takeu up with a small brush
and dust-pan. Go over the room once
more, this time with a dampened broom:
that removes tbe last bit of dust, and
gives the carpet a new, bright appear¬
ance. Replace the articles of furniture
as soon as the air is entirely free from
dust, and the room is new aud clean.
All this seems an easy thing to do, but
there is not one in a hundred who will
follow out tbe detail. Some will sweep
the dust in tbe hall or from one room
to another,and then wonder why their
house is so soon dusty again. Others
forget cornices and pictures, and thus
leave a seed of future annoyancewhile
a third class will do all but use the
dampened broom, which is as finishing
touches to a picture.
IlOld On.
Hold on to your tongue when you
are just ready to swear, lie, speak
harshly or use an improper word.
Hold on to ymr hand when you are
about to strike, pinch, steal, or do any
improper act. when
Hold od to yonr temper you
are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or
others are angry about you.
Hold ou to yi ur name at all times; for
it is of more valure to you than gold,

Hold* on to your heart when evil
associates seek your company and in¬
vite you to join in their mirth and rev¬

Influence of a Holy Life.
j Tho skeptical and licentious Shaftes¬
bury once visited Fenelon, in France,
and on his return said to an infidel
, friend that he was obliged to tear him*
| self away sooner than he designed, or
| the charm of FeDelon's Christian char¬
acter would have made him a Christian
Dr. Chalmers has some earnest words
on the power of a Christian life, worthy
of being pondered by eve r y Christian:
‘There is an energy of moral suasion
in a good man's life passing tho highest
efforts of the genius. A he seen but
silent beauty of holiness speaks more
eloquently of God and duty than tho
tongues of men and angels. Let pa
rents remember this. The best iuher
itance a parent can bequeath to a child
| is a virtuous example, a legacy of hal
lowed remembrances and associations,
Tho beauty of holiness beaming through
tho life of a loved relative or friend is
more effectual to strengthen such as do
stand in virtue,a way, and raise up
those that are bowed dowu, than pre
eept, command, entreaty or warning.
Christianity itself, I believe, owes far
the greater part of its moral power,
uot to the precepts and parables of
Jesus Christ, but to his own character.
The beauty of that holiness which is
enshrined in the four biographies of tho
Man of Nazareth has done more to re¬
generate tbe world than all other agen¬
cies combined.
BAKED GOOSE.
A goose eight months old and fat is
best for baking. Let it hang a day or
two, then remove every fine feather,
stage it well, and take away everything
not edible, including all the loose fat.
Stew the giblets by themselves and
make a pie of them. Goose requires
high flavored stuffing. Chop two large
onions fine, add to them a t&blespoonful
of pulverized sage, a teaspoonful of sajt.
Mix these ingredients [with' crumbled
bread, put in tho body of the bird and
sew up closely all the openings. This
prevents the steam from going out and
the fat from getting in, and adds to the
flavor and tenderness of the meat. Put
no water in the pan. A slice of fat pork
or some butter may be laid on the brass
when it is put iu the oven. Baste with
its own fat every twenty minutes. Two
hours will be brown all over, then
remove the bird to a platter, pour all
the fat from the baking pan, add to the
brown gravy in the pan the gravy from
the giblets, but no flour, bring fo a boil
and serve in a gravy boat. Save the fat
for medicinal and other purposes, It is
not good for food. Goose should be
served with apple sauce, onions and
potatoes boiled and peeled but not
mashed.
NOT A PANORAMA.
An old man with a satchel ; nd cane
yesterday stood in front of the Detroit
Opera House for a long half hour, sur¬
veying the building with a curious eye,
and he finally entered, walked up to
the box office and said: What’s the re¬
gular price to go in?’
‘Weil, about six shilling/ answered
Shaw.
‘I’ll give yea ten cents.” The treasurer
hesitated for a while but finally took
the money and told him to go up. The
old man went up stairs to find every
thing dark and deserted. He took a
seat, fixed his gaze on tbe drop curtain
and din’t get tired out for about half
an hour. Then he walked down stairs,
with slow and dignified step, put his
head into the box office and said:
‘If you call that a panorama then you
don’t know what a panoramas, and if
folks come along and pay six shillings
to set it, there's a heap of fools in this
country ! Good day.’
A newspaper reporter who died re¬
cently, left a large sum of money behind
him. In fact, he left all the money in
tbe world.
