Monologue to the Memory of Gen.
Robert E. Lee.
Written by Mr. Dan. E. Townsend, and De
li cered by Miss Annie Sefton, at the Savannah
Theatre, October, 15/A, 1870.
Ilark ! hear ye the sound of the sad£tolling
bell
That burdens the air with its sorrowful
knell ?
It falls on the ear with it* painful death
tone,
And grief bows ilie head with a sigh and a
moan ;
Tears gush from their fountains and mourn
fully flow
From the Sternest of hearts in this hour of
woe;
Friends and foes weep alike for the spirit
that’s sped,
And silently honor the name of the dead.
A hero has passed to the realms of the blest,
And the paeans of angels liis virtues attest.
He is gone ; but he lives upon History’s
Page,
Recorded—the Soldier, the Statesman, the
Sage,
When war clouds hung heavy und dark o'er
the land,
At the call of Virginia he marshalled his
band,
And in many a field encumbered with blood,
'Neath the banner he bore, he triumphantly
stood.
In her archives of glory, in letters of flame,
Virginia has written her warrior’s name;
Side by side with her sons the noblest and
best,
The last, but not least, sinks to sleep on her
breast.
For her greatness and honor the patriot
strove.
And found his reward in the smile of her
love.
Enshrined in the hearts of all brave men and
free,
Immortality’s crown rests on Robert E. Lee,
Though the cause he supported was doomed
to be lost,
And the will of a people was destiny crossed,
Yet he, in the strength of his greatness and
skill,
In the day of defeat was victorious still.
Then sing we the requiem song for the dead ;
Let the voice of lament o'er the universe
spread- -
In the halls of the great, in the huts of the
low.
In the palace of pl*nty, the chamber of woe,
Let the death song arise, and the accents of
prayer
Float upward to heaven and cling to him
there.
The love which pursued li rn through trhWs
on earth
Grows purer illumined by eternity’s birth.
Christian, Soldier, farewell—from thy mer
ited bourn*
Turn one pitying glance on the the thousands
who mourn.
Arsenic Taking.
Dr. Carnell in his “ Guardian of
Health,” is publishing a Family Medi
cal Directory, from which we select the
following from the article on arsenic :
How much arsenic will kill a person ?
To answer this question will depend
very much upon the condition of the pa
tient. If he has been taking arsenic in
small doses he can take much more than
he otherwise could without injury. It
is said that two grains have been known
kill an adult. Dr. Perrin took a drachm
at once, and got well. The London
Medical and Surgical Journal gives the
case of a peasant who took daily, in his
food, ten grains of arsonious acid, with
out injury. This was a remarkable case,
and I w’ould advise no man to follow
his sxamplc. A child was poisoned by
eating paste made to kill rats. The child
lived and what was remarkable, slept
quietly for three hours and a half after
the paste w T as eaten. A young man,
aged seventeen years, took tw 7 o drachms
of arsenic, with a view to self destruc
tion. As soon as practicable six grains
of tartar emetic were given; vomiting
came on, and w r as kept up by the use of
warm water for two hours. A blister
was applied to the stomach, and iu a
few days he w T as as well as ever.
The symptons from arsenic may vary
much in different patients. Arsenic
seems to he an irritant and narcotic com
bined. If the person has been addict
ed to the free use of opium, or has taken
Much arsenic, or has been an intemper
ate man, he may experience nothing
w r orse than a severe colic, and soon re
cover. In a person of different habits
the same dose would prove fatal
The antidotes to arsedicaj poisoning
are numerous, and should be known to
all. The first thing to be done is to in
duce vomiting, if not use the st mach
pump and warm water freely. Then
administer magnesia. Many have rec
ommended that the magnesia should be
given in milk ; it is on record that a girl
was found with an ounce of arsenic en
closed in a coagulated sack formed by
the magnesia, milk and the mucus pro
duced by the irritation of the arsenic.
Charcoal finely powdered, is an other
remedy. The hydrated peroxyd of iron
has never been u#d with success.
Jessie had been doing something
which her mama had told her she musn’t
do. She had been eating currants, and
of course, got her mouth all stained;
that’s the way she was found out. Her
mamma said : ‘ ; You know you were for
bidden to eat currants.” ‘ But mother,
satan tempted me.” Why didn’t you say.
‘Get thee behind me, Satan V “I did
say, ‘Get thie behind me satan and he
went and got behind me, and pushed
me right into the currant bush !”

STATEMENT OF THE BUSINESS OF THE
BLACK VALLEY RAILROAD :
1. From accurate estimates, carcfußy
made, in the United States, it appears
that this road is constantly carrying
over 300,000 persons, mostly young
men, down to the condition of Common
Drunkards.
2. If the families of drunkards aver
age five persons, it carries untold misery
and wretchedness directly to more than
1.500,000 persons, a large proportion of
whom are women and children.
3. It keeps more than 200,000 in
the A Inis House.
4. It keeps 75.000 criminals in Pris
on.
5. It is carrying towards destruction
multitudes of the brave and noble young
men of our country.
6. It has carried down to disgrace,
poverty and destruction, many of the
most talented men of the country, from
the Bar, the Bench, the Pulpit and the
Ilalls of Congress.
7. It carries more than 30,000 into
Eternity annually.
8. It carries more than 1,500,000.000
of dollars to Destruction. A distin
guished observer of facts says: “ All
the crimes on earth do not destroy so
many of the human race, nor alienate so
much property, as Drunkenness.”
9. It is prosecuting its terrible busi
ness against the laws of God and man,
and in defiance of all authority. The
people of the United States, according
to Commissioner Wells, swallowed by
retail in a single year 81,573,491,865
worth of liquid poison.
10. Its business is rapidly increasing.
Care of Newly Planted Trees.
At no time in the life of a tree does
it need more care than the first season
after it is transferred to the orchard.—
Removed from a sheltered position to
one too often exposed on every side,
taken from the rich soil and hot house
culture of the nursery and placed in the
common soil of the orchard, it needs at
least common care to aid it in accom
modating itself to its changed circum
stances. Unless this is given some will
die, and others will be injured in their
vitality, and live along a few years and
then die. Much of the deformed and
imperfect growth of the black heart,
diseased wood, undoubtedly has its origin
in injury accruing from neglect or mis
management in their early growth but
the losses and failures coming from these
are cited as conclusive proof that the
soil or climate is not adapted to raising
fruit, or that this particular variety is
not sufficiently hardy; instead of being
attributed to their true cause. The
trees should be well mulched, or the
soil stirred frequently around the body
of the tree, and kept light and porious
throughout the season. Mulching is
much preferrable, as it keeps the soil at
a uniform temperature and moisture. —
For this purpose old hay, coarse manure
or leaves, with at little earth on ton to
keep them from blowing away be used.
The hot days of July, August and Sep
tember, are usually the most trying on
young trees, as the hot dry winds and
the direct rays of the sun are continu
ally drawing out the moisture from the
bark, leaves, and twigs of the tree; and
in times of drouth, or where the trees
are unmulched and the same agencies
have exhausted the humidity of the soil
the tree fails to receive sufficient mois
ture from the roots to supply this
draught upon it, and also maintain a
perfect and hardy growth ; consequent
ly the tree dries up, or at least makes
but a feeble growth of unripe, tender
wood.
In very dry season, to get suffieieo!
in addition to the mulch, it may he ne
cessary to water by hand. If the hark
has become dry and withered, some
benefit will be derived from washing, or
sprinkling the tree each evening with
water or weak soapsuds.
Trees suffer more in this usually dry
climate from lack of moisture where the
ground is seeded down, and this is the
reason why we recommend cultivation
of the orchard especially when young.
By mulching under the trees and tilling:
between the rows, a much more vigorous
and hardy growth will be secured,
which, we think, will add materially to
the fruitfulness and longevevity of our
orchards.— JUes/ern Farmer.
A Second Washington.
Nasby says:
I commenced being good at a very
early age, and built myself up on the
best models. I was yet an infant when
I read the affecting story of the hacking
down of the cherry treo by George
Washington, and his manly statement
to his father that lie could not tell a lie.
I read the story and it filled me with a
desire to surpass him. I was not going
to allow r any such boy as George Wash
ington, if he did afterwards get to be a
President, to excel me in the moralities.
Immediately I seized an axe, and cut
down the most valuable cherry tree my
father had; and more, 1 dug up the
roots and burned the branches, so that
by no means could the variety be pro
duced, and I went skating one Sunday,
so that 1 might confess the two faults,
and be w r ept over and forgiven on ac
count of my extreme truthfulness. The
experiments were, I regret to say. par
tial failures I was very much like
George Washington, but the trouble
was, my father didn’t resemble George
Washington’s father, which was essen
tial to the success of my scheme. ‘‘Did
you cut down that cherry tree ?” asked
he. “Father, I cannot toll a lie. I
did it with my little hatchet,” I an
swered, striking the proper attitude fer
the old gentleman to shed tears on me.
But he did’nt slied He remarked that
he had rather I had told a thousand lies
than to have cut down that particu’ar
tree, and he whipped me till I was in a
state of exasperating rawness. My
skating idea was no less a failure. I
broke through the ice that Sunday and
was pulled out with difficulty—and a
boat-hook. As I lay sick for a month
with a fever, I didn’t get a chance to
get off the Washington remark.
To Train a Child.
A little tract issued for distribution
by the Ladies’ Sanitary Association of
London, gives these ivise suggestions for
the nurture of children in health of body
and spirits :
1. Never refuse a thing if it is harm
less, but give it, if you are able, without
delay.
2. Never give anything because it is
cried for, that you have refused when
asked for.
3. Be careful to observe the real ill
ness and avoid causing bodily uneasiness
from over clothing, or cold unwholesome
food, such as candy, sugar plums, sour
fruit, or giving buns or cakes to quiet
the child.
4. Avoid false promises. They are
sure to be found out false.
5. Avoid threats of all kinds. If be
lieved. they make children timid, and
injure both mind and body; if not be
lieved, they are useless. Such threats
as bosie, policeman, black man. are sure
to be found out to be false if the child
lives.
(J. Never say anything untrue to a
child.
7. Do not wreak your own bad tem
per or visit your own feelings of fatigue
and trouble on children, by being se
vere with them, or by saying. *• You
shan’t have it,” or “I won t give it to
you,” when there is no reason for re
fusal, except that you are yourself tired,
in trouble, or out of sorts.
8. Avoid gividgorders, such as “Stand
still,” “Go on,” “Hold your tongue.”
“Put it down.” etc. unless you really
mean that they should be obeyed ; aud
the fewer orders you give the better.
9. Neither give too much pity, nor
yet be severe and unkind when a child
tumbles down or hurls itself.
10; Do not worry a child. Let it
alone, and let it live in peace.
11. Teach it early to play alone and
amuse itself.
To these rules one might be added :
Never exact a promise form a child,
to do or abstain from doing anything.—

I Dr. Dio Lewis pronounces some rath
er startling prop »sitions in his hock eu
hygiene. Fur instance:
I Potatoes, bth Irish and sweet, arc
very poor Ibod fir brain and muscle.
The common notion that our health
and life depend upon a mysterious Prov
idence, is downright infidelity. A child
goes out of a hot room with naked arms
and legs in pursuit of its daily supply of
poisoned candies and then dies of cv< n .
Is that a mysterious Providence ? jf
a man indulges himself until he uefstlio
gout, and disease attacks his heart ami
kills him, a mystery ?
The reason that the American people
are such dispeptics is that they eat and
dr;nk so much, and eat nud drink so
fatt.
The toe*h will not decay if thev art
kept cict.it. A tooth-brush is a good
thing, hut one good tooth-pick is v.-anh
an armful of tooth brushes. There i a
gentleman now living in New York city
who ha^three beautiful front teeth
which he purchased from he month t f
an Irishman, llis own teeth were re
moved, and instantly Prtrick’s were
transfered.
r i he word billiousness is a sort of res
pecttul cover for pigishness. People
are not billi ms who cat what they should.
The greek and Roman armies ato hut
once a day.
The common impression that tomatoes
are the healthiest of all vegetables is a
mistake. If eaten at all, it should be
with great moderation, and never raw.
Tomatoes have sometimes produced sali
vation. Dr. Lewis knew a young woman
who had lost all her teeth from excessive
eating of tomatoes.
Pies and cakes arc poisonous.
To healthy persons mineral waters arc
not wholesome.
Corsets are most injurious to dilu -
tion. Their use finally results in an
immense and very ugly proturbauce of
the abdomen.
Those who suffer from heartburn
should avoid soups, drink nothing at
meals, say “No thank yon,” to pies and
cakes, and go without supper.
If you wish to live to 85, in the full
enjoyment of all your faculties, go to
bed at 9 o’clock and cat twice a day a
moderate quantity of plain food.

This School is at Sonora, Gordon county,
Ga„ in a good moral neighborhood, ten mih s
East of Calhoun, and consequently, free from
the demoralizing influence of towns and vil
lages, upon the young. Board, including
washing, can be lmd in the vicinity at $lO a
mouth. Stud.;nts desiring it,can rent rooms
at low rates and board themselves.
The MUSIC DEPARTMENT, as heretofore,
is under the supervision of Miss N. Mai.inda
Smith, a graduate of the School for the Blind,
Macon, Ga.
As to the character of this School, we res
pectfully refer to the numerous citizens of
Gordon and adjoining counties, who have ex
tensively patronized us for the past two years.
In addition to the educational opportuni
ties, that we have, heretofore, been able to
offer, we announce to those seeking an educa
tion, the following improvements in this
School for the year 1871: The services of
MissM. S. Ar.EXAxnER.of Mobile, Ala., have
been procured as Teacher of French. Miss
Alexander is a thorough French Scholar,
speaks the language fluently, and we guaran
tee success in this Department. During the
present vacation, the buildings will undergo
such repairs as will render them convenient
and comfortable. We have purchased a set
of Surveying instruments, and we propose to
teach this science practically. A good l’iano
has also been procured. For the encourage
ment of Oratory, a suitable prize will be
awarded to the best Declaimer at the close of
each spring session. We call the attention
of the public to the cheapness of our school,
both in reasonable board and to the fact that
many of our best students rent rooms and
board themselves, at a trifle above what it
would cost them to live at home.
