PERIODICALS.
The February riumber of Wood’s
Household .Magazine is a really a marvel
I of what can be furnished for only one
dollar a year; considering the cost and
j quality this is one of the cheapest maga
zine which comes to our table. Its ar
tivles have a chasteness about them
not always found in periodical litera
ture, which adapts it to fill a place too
largely occupied by cheap publications
that are positively injurious to the
young, without being exactly immoral.
We have rr t room to specify the arti
cles which fill the pages before us—but
they are many and excellent. The Mag
azine contains three engravings—a pret
ty house design—also the New York
Fashions (illustrated) prepared express
ly for the Household by Mme. Demor

hcruafte.r the magazine will always be
illustrated. Hubscriptions may begin

Music.
BY KITTY CLYDE.
Music finds an echo in every breast
—none can resist the gentle pleading of
its soft melodious voice. Sometimes
low and sad, throwing a spell of en'
chantment over everything, and as we
listen to its delicious strains we seem
living in reality the faint remembrances
of some beautiful dream —sometimes
wild and rambling, speaking stronger
than words the wild passions of the hu
man heart.
Love, the golden chain that binds the
world together, is pictured in such glow
ing terms, in thoughts so exquisitely
beautiful as to surpass even the heavcn
iiispireu poets in their ecstatic descrip'
tion of it.
The cares and sorrows of this life are
chased away by the soothing voice of
music, the trivial things of earth are
forgotten, and following up the train of
beautiful thoughts that are awakened
by its thrilling tones, w T e fall to dream
ing in the far-away distance —we see a
white-robed figure reposing on floating
banks of fleecy clouds. In her hands
is a golden harp, and her head is encir
cled by the crown cf glory; the pale
moonbeams linger lovingly over her sun
ny hair where a thousand lights and
shadows play. She touches her harp
and a burst of music, so pathet’c, so
heavenly, is wafted on the evening
breezes as to hold the dreamer spell
bound listening to the weird, mysterious
music, the creation of our own waking
fancy; but soon the music ceases, the
figure vanishes, and our wandering
senses return.
There is music in the streamlet as it
flows over pebbles, down a miniature
waterfall, eddying and surging in the
whirlpool below, and throwing back
crystal beads that glitter and sparkle in
the sunlight.
The willows that grow on either side
dip their branches in the limpid waters,
the breeze passing through the emer
ald boughs makes sobbing, tearful mu
sic. The woodlands are echoing with
the gladsome carols of the soft-voiced
songsters, the air quivers and reverber
ates with the varying, changeful melo
dies. There is no discord in the music
of nature—all is beautiful and harmo
uious.
A Kind llint,
Times Editor : With the view* of
“ throwing a rope to a drowning man,”
we would ask these : Os all
qualities which is the one men most
need ? To the absence of what quali
ty are our sorrows attributable? We
answer both by saying that it is self-re
straint.
Self-restraint is the ability to sacri
fice a small present gratification for a
prospective great one. The laborer en
dowed with self-restraint would not
■spend his daily wages for mere pleasure
at the public house. Ilad the artisan
self restraint enough he would not live
beyond his means. Were there no
drunkenness, no extravagance, no mul
tiplication of needless expenses, social
111 series would be trivial to what they
are. If all men had self restraint
enough to pass by the dram shop and
leave off the small gratification of the
usual drink, how many wounded hearts
might be made whole, and how many
hungry children might have none. But
for want of self-restraint, many men of
strong minds in other things cannot de
ny themselves so small a thing as a glass
of wine. There are many men who
might rise to the highest stations of
! honor and usefulness among men but
| for the wine cup. Some of the bright
' est minds of our country are ruined by
J yielding to a trifling gratification. Oi‘
some men we frequently hear it said,
what smart men they are, but—but they
are killing themselves by indulging in
strong drink. To all such we say, quit
I drinking; you cun surely deny yours
selves so small a thing as a dram; you
ought to do it, and if youdon’tyou will
soon see your prospects all blighted.—
We earnestly plead with you to quit.—
I Quit for the sake of great prospective
good ; quit for your own sake, and the
sake of home. Honor, reputation, com
petency. friends and all you have are
involved in the flowing goblet. Rise
up in your moral might and manhood
and shake off the yoke that gauls your
necks, that presses you and iwn.and which
will finally take your life. Make the
! big res !ve, and ask divine ai l to carry
it out. There is no trifling with this
thing. It demands earnest work,jpmt«-
cut attention and deep condsideration.
Amicus.
According to Beecher, “the cheap
est thing on earth is a mean man. A
faithtul dog dies and is missed, a good
and state’y horse dies and is misled, the
! emigration of birds in autumn is a
I source ot sadness to us, but mean men
die and few tears are shed for them.”
A Bill.
[BY MR. NUTTING OF BIBIiJ
To be entitled an act to reduce the mi
leage now allowed by law to the mem
bers of the General Assembly :
Whereas, “ Five and -liars for every
twenty miles of travel, g ing to and re'
turning from the seat of government,”
is a provision which was not intended
in its adoption as compensation to mem
bers of the General Assembly, but only
to reimburse the actual expenses of
travel then supposed to be reasonably
and necessarily incurred in going to and
returning from the seat of government;
and.
Whereas, The expenses of travel
have, since the original adoption of
that provision, been greatly reduced by
r.he great progress made in the mod s
of passenger transportation, and ihe rea
son ceasing,or changing, the rule ought
also to cease, or be modified ; and,
Whereas, The continuance of this
provision now works manifest irregular
ities in the compensation of the mem
bers of the General Assembly, a result
which is unjust in itself, and directly
contrary to the real intention of its far
mers; and,
Whereas, Wisdom, justice and the
necessities of the times combine to make
equality and rigid economy in public
expenditures in any form the duties of
the legislators and the rights of the
tux paying people of the State; There
fore,
Be it enacted by the General Assem
bly of Georgia, That the President of
the Senate and the Speaker of the.
House of Representatives, and other
members of the General Assembly, shall
be allowed each ten cents per mile g0,.-
iug to and returning from the seat of
government, the distance to be comput.
ed by the nearest route usually trav
eled, and this act shall take effect upon
the present session of the General As
sembly.
2. Be it further enacted, TH*at all
laws and parts of laws militating against
this act be, and the same are hereby re
pealed.
At a recent meeting of the plow
manufacturers, held in Chicago, it was
resolved that the parties represented
would sell no plows to Eurivers’ Clubs
or Grangers, except at retail prices. To
this resolution was ‘-'ppeuded the names
of nearly every plow manufacturer in
the West. Tne Jefferson County (Iowa)
Council of G rangers and Partners adopt
ed the following resolution in response :
“ Resolved , That we will not buy any
implements made by such manufactu
rers at retail prices or any other prices,
and that wo will prevent others from
doing so while tliey maintain the posi
tion assumed toward the Grangers and
Farmers Clubs in the above resolutions.”
It is not the best thine’ —that is. the
things which we call best—that makes
men ; it is not the pleasantest thing;
it is not the cairn experiences of life ;
it is life’s rugged experiences, its tem
pests and its trials.

PAIN-KILLER,
after a thorough trial by innumerable liv
ing witnesses, has proved itself THE MED
ICINE OF TIIE AGE. It is an internal and
external remedy. One positive proof of its
efficacy is, that its sales have constantly in
creased, and wholly upon its own merits.—
The effect of the
JP “ 3E5.13.3. o 32*
upon the patient when taken internally, in
case of Cold, Cough, Bowel Complaint, Chol
era, Dysentery, and other atiiictions of the
system, has been tiuly wonderful, and lias
won for.it a name among medical prepara
tions that can never be forgotten. Its suc
cess in removing pain, as an external rem
edy, in cases of Burns, _Bruises, Sores,
Sp:ains, Guts, Stings of Insects, and other
eauses of suffering has secured for it such
a host of testimony, as an infallible remedy
that it will be nanded down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century.
Tiie
derives much of its popularity from the sim
plicity attending its use, which give it a
peculiar value in a family. The various
diseases which may be reached by it, and
in their incipient trges eradicated, are
amongthose which are peculiarly fatal ifsuf
sered to run ; but the curative magic of this
preparation at oucc disarms them of their
terrors. In all respects, it fulfills the con
ditions of a popular medicine.
Be sure you call for and got the genuine
Pain-Killer, us many worthless nostrums
are attempted to be sold on the gre it repu
tation of this valuable medicine.
