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. M. A. O. j LOST IN THE DESRRT. 1 |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. A large Dumber of counties in Geor' gia are prohibiting the sale of whisky, RFDont ferget to take the Advertis¬ er. 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 Messenger. 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, high places or fashionable attire. Hold* on to your heart when evil associates seek your company and in¬ vite you to join in their mirth and rev¬ elry. $1 A YEAli. NO. I. 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.
