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 and Time Table OK THE Black Valley Railroad.

By order of BEELZEBUB, President. Moderate Drinker, Sec’y. 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.— Make known your wishes, or commands, as the case may be, and let that suffice.

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. HASOXIC IXSTITi n:. Male and Female.

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.
