Beauty.
Beautiful faces—they that wear
The light of a pleasant spirit there—
It matters little if dark or fair.
Beautiful hands are they that do
The work of the noble, good, and true,
Busy for them the long day through.
Beantlful feet are they that go
Swiftly to lighten another’s woe
Through summer’s heit or winter’s snow.
Beautiful children, if rich or poor,
Who walk the pathways, sweet and pure,
That lead to the mansions strong and sure.
Lent, Not Lost.
All is not lost that’s passed beyond our keeping;
Light is not gone though sight be dim with weep-
Sweet voices still are sounds of love repeating.
Though heavy years scarce catch the tones retreat
ing.
Wave after wave, in endless circles flowing,
Breaks on the shore to which our barks are going;
Our parted treasures, wafted there before us,
To-morrow’s dawn may safely all restore us.
The gales of heaven, their odorous freshness bring
ing,
With swifter speed our battered hulls are winging,
And clouds that bide the sun from our discerning
Quench not the distant beacon’s steady burning.
Brief Is the space that from onr loved divides us ;
Thin Is the mist that from their haven hides us ;
Soft hands on high are beckoning signals holding,
While arms wait patient for our hearts infolding.
There, where from sight our blessed ones have
vanished,
There, where our Father dear recalls his banished,
There lies the home that knowethno removing;
There lives the love that never needeth proving.
There dawns are pure, and purple lights unfading;
On happy brows dull sorrows cast no shading;
There gentle souls of coming Ills are fearless,
And eyes once drooping, shining now, and tearless.
There all, and always, dwell within his keeping,
Who sleepless careth while our care Is sleeping;
How can we dare to falter In onr praying,
Their perfect bliss against onr sorrow weighing?
Yet while we cease unwise and vain complaining,
We have but learned—our title still reteainlng—
Love hath a lien that time nor death can sever,
Our own are ours, forever and forever.

How to Get Rich.
A SEOBET WORTH KNOWING.
Avery peculiar man was old Mr. Closem.
All his life he had been to the house of God
on the Sabbath. Very few men ever got as
much preaching for so little money. He
had been a home-man, always at work, al
ways saving, and always laying up money.
He had a sort of intuitive knowledge that
the man whom he saw in the pulpit with his
minister, one Sabbath morning, must be
after money for some good object; and so
he buttoned up his coat at once, and no
eloquence could unbutton it. Some neigh
bor reported that he was once known to give
away a shilling ; but that was long ago, and
so lacking in confirmation that no one be
lieved it.
Just as the old year was going out and
the new one coming in, I met Mr. Closem in
the road, looking over the wall at a fine-look
ing field of wheat belonging to himself.
There was a glow on his face, which seemed
to say, “Ah, sir ! That crop will bring me
many dollars next year.”
“Well, Mr. Closem, you hare got a fine
field of wheat, to be sure.”
“Yes, sir; and it’s not the first I have
raised, I assure you. My land gives me
grand crops of wheat. My bams are more
than full of the crops of last summer. ”
“What are you going to do with it all ?”
“Do ? Why sell it, to be sure.”
“And what will you do with the
money V”
“Why, there’s a now trouble. It is diffi
cult to know how to invest it so as to have it
safe, and yet yield a good dividend. I must
have both.”
“ I can tell you, sir, where you can do it.”
“I doubt it ; but let us hear. Will the
money be safo ?"
“Perfectly so.”
“ And the interest good and sure ?’
“ Yes, without fail.”
“ Well, tell us at once all about it.”
“ I advise you to invest a par in China.”
“In China !”
“Yes. We are having the whole of that
empire opening its gates to receive our re
ligion, our civilization, and our’institutions.
The Board of Missions are about to sent
out a score of young, self-denying preacher,
of tho gospel, and we want tbe means. Here
you can Jvest, and the principal will besafe,
and tho income large.”
“Do you suppose lam simple enough to
believe that money given away is ever to re
turn, or to pay a dividend ? Sir, lam not
quite a fool.”
“I hope you can say that a thousand
years hence. But may I tell you a short
story ?”
“Certainly, if it be a true one. Nouo of
your made-up stories for me. Every word
shall be true.”
“Well, sir, a few days since, I met a gen
tleman—the owner of large paper mills. He
took me through the mills, and showed mo
the great vats of pulp, and the great piles of
paper ready for the market, and a world of
things which I did not comprehend. After
seeing all the machinery, and hearing his
praises of hi3 men, and how they sent for
United States stocks —fifty and a hundred
dollars at a time—every timo he went to the
city, I said:
‘Will you please, sir, tell me the secret of
your great success, for you told me you began
life with nothing. ’
‘I don’t know as there is any secret about
it. When sixteen years old, I went to S—
to work. I was to receive forty dollars a
year and my food—no more, no less. My
clothing and all my expenses must come
out of the forty dollars. I then solemnly
promised the Lord that I would give Hint
one-tenth of my wages, and also that I would
save another tenth for future capital. This
resolution I carried out, and after laying
aside one-tenth for the Lord, I had, at the
end of tho year, much more than a tenth for
myself. I then promised the Lord, whether
He gave more or less, I would never give
less than one-tenth to Him. To this vow I
have conscientiously adhered, from that day
to this, and if there be any secret to
my success, I attribute it to this.
I feel sure I am far richer on my
nine-tenths (though I hope I don’t now
limit my charities to that) than if I had kept
the whole.’
‘How do you account for it ?’
‘ln two ways. First, I believe God has
blessed me, and made my business to pros
per; and secondly, I have so learned to be
careful and economical, that my nine-tenths
go far beyond what the whole would. And I
believe that any man who will make the trial
will find it so. ’ ” — Rev. John Todd, D. D.
The Faithful Wife.
Mrs. Andrews had given her heart to
Jesus, and now she yearned for the salva
tion of her husband. She longed for a
family altar; but who she asked, would offer
upon it the morning and evening incense?
Could she take upon herself this duty?
Could she pray before her unbelieving hus
band? To her it seemed duty. She felt
that God would give her strength. She
spoke to her husband on the subject, and
met with no opposition. He cold not pray,
he said, but if she was willing to take that
part, ho would read a chapter in the Bible.
Morning came, and the wife placed on a
little table a copy of the Word of God. She
called her two little ones, and placed seats
for them by her side. Then the husband
was called in, and, as he promised, read a
chapter in the Bible; then the little circle
knelt, and the wife poured out her heart in
earnest supplication for herself and her
household. The husband was deeply moved
by her earnestness.
Through the day, as he was occupied with
business, he saw again before him that
kneeling figure, heard that earnest voice
pleading for the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the husband and children.
Going one morning into his stable, before
breakfast, he thought again of his praying
wife, and knew that even then, she was pre
paring for morning worship. He knew that'
he ought to be the priest in his own house
hold. He began to wish that he could pray,
and at length throwing himself on the hay,
he began to cry mightily unto God. While
he was thus wrestling with God, he was sum
moned to the house. The Bible was upon
the stand, and his wife and children were
waiting his coming. He read a portion of
the sacred Word, then all knelt, and just as
the wife was about to open her Jips in prayer,
she was astonished at hearing her husband’s
voice, “ God be merciful to me, a sinner,”
was his cry. Then and there lie gave his
heart to Jesus, and became a faithful fol
lower of the Master. By a faithful per
formance of duty, his wife had led him to the
Saviour.—& S. Times.
Defects of Agricultural Societies.
Agricultural Societies are radically defect
ive in their management, in devoting their
entire energies to make a great show rather
than promoting knowledge and correct in
formation.
There is no propriety m offering or giving
premiums for an article that is excellent only
by chance. Farming is an art and must be
enconraged like other arts. A competitor
should be required to give his whole process
and cost of production, that his skill and
knowledge may be made serviceable ; and
every exhibitor should be able and required
to tell why his article or animal is better
than those it is judged to excel. All articles
or animals deemed worthy of a premium
should also be deemed worthy of a statement
to show why they are worthy. It might
make additional trouble for exhibitors, but
it is the only mode by which the society can
get value received for the money expended;
it is the only mode by which the best meth
ods of culture and production can be made
known to the public and the highest benefit
conferred If our Agricultural Societies will
insist on this practice, embodying the re
sults in a yearly volnme of transactions, if
they will seek tc reduce the number of un
cultivated acres by a judicious encourage
ment of draining and otherwise improving
the land, if they seek to encourage agricul
ture in all its branches and eschew doubtful
practice, they will speedily recover their
lost ground and regain the confidence of
those in whose interest they were organized.
Country Gentleman.
Cjjilbren.
The Landlord of the Blue Hen.
Once—a long time ago— bo good stories begin,
There stood Dy the roadside an old-fashioned Inn;
An Inn. which landlord had named ‘‘The Bine
Hen.”
While he, by his neighbors, was called “Uncle
Ben."
At least, they quite often addressed that way
When ready to drink but not ready to pay ;
Though when he insisted on having the cash.
They went off muttering “rummy”’ and “old bran
dy smash."
He sold barrels of liquor, but still the old “Hen”
Seemed never to flourish, and neither did “Ben;”
For he drank up his profits, as every one knew,
Even those who were drinking their profits up too.
So, with all they could drink, and with all they
could pay.
The landlord grew poorer and poorer each day;
Men said, as ho took down the gin from the shelf,
“The steadiest customer there was himself.”
There was hardly a man living in the same street
But had too much to drink and too little to eat;
The women about the old “Hen” got the blues ;
The girls had no bonnets, the boys had no shoes.
When a poor fellow died, he was borne on bis bier
By his comrades, whose hands shook with brandy
and fear;
For, of course, they were terribly frightened, and
yet,
They went back to “The Blue Hen” to drink and
forget!
There was one Jovial farmer who couldn’t get by
The door of “The Blue Hen” without feeling dry;
One day he discovered his purse growing light,
“There must be a leak somewhere,” he said. He
was right!
Then there was the blacksmith (the best ever
known.
Folks said, if he’d only let liquor alone)
Let his forge cool so often, at last he forgot
To heat up his iron and strike when ’twas hot.
Once a miller, going home from “The Blue Hen,”
’twas said,
While his wife sat and wept by his sick baby’s bed,
Had made a lalse step, and slept all night alone
In the bed of the river, instead of his own.
Even poor “Ben” himself could not drink of the
cup
Os lire forever without burning up;
He grew sick, fell to raving, declared that be knew
No doctors could held him ; and they said so, too,
He told those about him, the ghosts of the men
Who used In their lifetimes to haunt “The Blue
Hen,”
Had come back, each one with his children and
wife,
And trying to frighten him out of his life.
Now he thought he was burning, the very next
breath
He shiverered and cried, he was freezing lo death;
That the peddler lay by him, who, long years ago,
Was put out of “The Blue lien,” and died in the
suow.
He said that the blacksmith, who turned to a sot,
Laid him out on an anvil and beat him, red-hot;
That the builder, who swallowed his brandy fourth
proof,
Was pitching him downward, head first, from the
roof.
At last he grew frantic ; he clutched at the sheet,
And cried that the miller had hold of his feet;
Then leaped from his bed with a terrible scream,
That the dead man was dragging him under the
stream.
Then he ran, and so swift that no mortal could
Bavc;
He went over the bank and and went under the
wave;
And his poor lifeless body next morning was found
In the very same spot where the miller was
drowned.
“Twasn’t liquor that killed him,” somesaid, “that
was plain,
He was crazy, and sober folks might be insane!”
“'Twas delirium tremens ,” the coroner said.
But whatever it was, he was certainly dead !

Tlie Dew Drop.
A FABLE.
I went out ono morning early to see the
dew-drops: there was one on every blade in
in the grass-plat. I have seen jewels spark
ling in the ring on the lady’s finger, and
glittering in the jeweler’s shop, hut I have
never seen a gem so pure and bright as the
jewels worn by the grass blades. I stooped
down and looked at them, and the grass
said, “Are you come out to see me ?’’
“No, to see the dew-drops.”
A little sparkling drop shook himself up,
“What,” said he, “What was that ?”
“Como out to see yon beautiful dew
drops,” I said.
“What for ?”
“I love to see the calm, blue heaven re
flected in your bosom.”
‘’That is because I am pure,” said the
dew-drop; ‘ heaven is always reflected in a
pure bosom. You can not see heaven in the
bosom of muddy water, nor in the heart of a
wicked child. Tell the children who love
Jesus to be pure, even as He is pure.”
I picked up the blade of grass to look
closer at him. Just then the sun began to
rise, and the dew-drop changed from blue
heaven color to a glowing sunlight. It
shone like a little sun as I held it, and
looked lovelier than ever.
“Beautiful!” I said.
The little drop smiled. “The day is
breaking and the good sun is changing me
into the likeness of him 'f. Tell your lit
tle Christians, when Jesus shall appear they
shall be like him. But the day is breaking
—the sun is drawing me—l’m going, go
ing—”
“Don’t go yet,” I said, “stay and talk to
me.”
“He is sending down his long sunbeam
fingers. I feel them drawing me. I’m go
ing.”
“Stay, little dew-drop,” I said, “stay and
talk with me all day long.”
“Only in the night I live on earth, and
when day breaks I flee away to heaven on
the beams of light. Christians are the dew
drops of Jesus. They, too, stay on the earth
while night lasts, and when heaven’s day
breaks, and the shadows flee away, Jesus
will draw up his dew-drops to himself. But
I cannot stay—the sunbeams are drawing
me. I feel their loving kisses. I’m going
up to the calm heaven—up to the glorious
sun. I’m going.”
It grew brighter and heavenlier, and
smaller. I looked, and looked, till I looked
in vain: there was only the blade of grass,
the dew-drop was gone.— Exchange.
The Tiger, Brahmin, and Fox.
A tiger, prowling in a Hindoo forest, was
attracted, by a bleating calf. It proved to
be a bait, and the tiger found himself trap
ped in a spring cage. There he lay for two
days, when a Brahmin happened that way.
“O Brahmin!” piteously cried the beast,
“have mercy upon me and let me out of this
cage.”
“Ah! but you will eat me.”
“Eat you! devour my benefactor! never
could I be guilty of such a deed,’’responded
the tiger.
The Brahmin, being benevolently in
clined, was moved by these entreaties, and
opened the door of the cage. _ The tiger
walked up to him, waved his tail, and said,
“Brahmin, prepare to die; I shall now eat
you.”
“O how ungrateful! how wicked! Am I
not your - saviour?” protested the trembling
priest.
“True,” said the tiger; “very true; but it
is the custom of my race to eat men when
we get a chance, and I cannot afford to let
“Let us submit the case to an arbitrator,”
replied the Brahmin; “here comes a fox;
the fox is wise; let us abide by his judg
ment.”
“Very well,” agreed the tiger.
The fox, assuming a judicial aspect, sat
on his haunches with all the dignity he could
master, and looking at the disputants, said,
“Good friends, I am somewhat confused by
the different accounts which you give of this
matter; my mind is not clear enough to ren
der an equitable judgment, but if you will
be good enough to act the whole transaction
out before my eyes I shall attain unto a
more definite conception of the case. Do
you, Mr. Tiger, show me just how you ap
proached and entered the cage; and then do
you, Mr. Brahmin, show me precisely how
you liberated him, and I shall be able to
render a proper decision. ”
They assented, for the fox was solemn and
oracular. The tiger walked into the cage.
The spring-door fell and shut him in. He
was a prisoner inside. The judicial expres
sion faded from the fox’s countenance, and,
turning to the Brahmin, he said, “Now you
are all right, you silly Brahmin; I advise
you to go home as fast as you can, and to
abstain in future from doing favors to ras
cally tigers. Good morning, Brahmin—
good morning, Tiger.
Japanese Nursery Tales.
Human nature is very nearly the same all
the world over, and no race has any charac
teristics for which the counterparts may not
be found in other races. The Japanese, as
rude and unpoetieal as they seem to be,have
their faries, genii, peris and imps, answer
ing to those of which onr own juveniles hear
such wonderful tales: Some of these stories
are very ingenious and would bear copying
into the fairy lore of America, while others
would be far from acceptable, owing to the
great difference in customs or religion. I
do not know that the subjoined tales, which
were told by a Jap nurse to some European
children at Hiago, are really part of the
fairy literature of the country, or made up
by her for the present amusement of the
cfiildren. In either case, the young ones
were pleased, and when they repeated some
of these stories to mu, they were enthusiastic
in praise of the old Japanese grandmother
who had thus entertained them.
THE TURNIP PULLER.
Once there was a little Jap boy dressed in
a nice suit of black linen, and he said to
himself one day, “I will be a great Damio.
I will have big swords and fine dress, and
my father and mother shall be happy with
plenty of rice and jewel rings.”
But the little boy was poor and he had but
one suit of clothes. He was walking by the
side of the Fusiyama one day, thinking how
he should be great, when the mountain
shook and great smoke-devils came out of
the top. The boy was afraid, until a little
fairy, awakened by the noise, rose up at his
feet, and taking him by the hand, led him
away from the mountain. When the fairy
was going, the boy said:
“ You know how to save me from the
smoke devils, and you must know how to
make me a great Damio. Will yon tell me?”
“Goand pull a turnip,” said the fairy, as
she took her way back to the sacred moun
tains.
So the boy looked about him for a garden,
and when he found one he searched for a
turnip. He soon got a fine one with tall
leaves, and wentto digging around its roots.
“No, no!”,said the turnip, “my root is
deep, and you canuot dig so low, but take
hold of my head and pull, for my root will
follow where my head goes.”
So he laid hold of the top and pulled. Lo!
it came up so easy that the boy fell over in
tbs mud.
“Ho, ho!” laughed the turnip; “you
have something to learn if you would be a
great Damio. Men, like turnips, pull easi
est by the head; but you had better leave
them alone where they have taken root than
to overturn yourself in trying to pull them
np.”
The little boy took the advice, and made
the acquaintance of leaders only. He was
never, however, over anxious to be in the
company of the great, and soon the Tycoon,
seeing his great care and wisdom, made him
a prince. So he had two big swords and
plenty of rice.
THE DISOBEDIENT GIRL.
Once a little girl was told by her mother
to make rice-cakes. But she wanted to play
shuttle-cock, and so she left the dough in
the bowl. An imp in the shape of a frog
came in; and when the girl was about to
hit the cork a blow, be threw the dough into
the air. It fell upon her head, and streamed
down over her shoulders until she was all
covered up.
Her mother came in, and,supposing it was
all dough, threw her into the oven, and so
the naughty girl was baked.
THE INDUSTRIOUS MAN.
One man worked in his rice and wheat
fields, while his neighbors spent their time
in wrestling, playing ball, and drinking
sacky.
YVinter came and they had nothing to eat.
Then they went to the industrious man, and
said, “give us rice and bread.”
But the other said, “No; you serve the
spirit of Amusement, and I serve the spirit
of Work. Go you to your spirit for food
and I will go to mine.” So they all starved.
YY’ltose Fault is it!
“No use in my going to Sabbath-shool; it
don’t do me any good,” said a boy, making
this excuse for not being in his seat in tbe
class.
No good! Whose fault is it? Not God’s,
for he has given you time —the Sabbath day;
He has given you a book to study—the Holy
Bible; He has given you a place to go to—
the dear Sabbath school; He has furnished
you with two teachers, one to instruct and
persuade you to do right, and the other,
which is the Holy Spirit, to help you to obey
God and keep his commandments.
No use! Whose fault is it? Not your con
science, for that still small voice which God
has put within you often speaks to you; not
your thoughts, for you cannot help thinking;
not your attention, for that goes wherever
you give it; not your memory, for that can
never forget.
Whose fault is it? Ah, my child, if the
Sabbath-school is not making you a better
boy or a better girl, there is a terrible fault
somewhere. God gives you precious oppor
tunities for learning His will and walking
in His ways, and if you lose these opportuni
ties, you will find out by and by it is a heavy
loss.

Da. W. H. Underwood was born in Lowndes
co., Ga., April 4tb, 1843, and died at his mother’s
home in Jasper, Hamilton co., Fla., Sept. 23d,
1870
Throughout his childhood, youth and manhood,
he was notably fond of and affectionate towards
his mother and sisters, alwaays preferring their
society to any other. He was peculiarly averse to
any rudeness, and the pleasures common to the
young, but given to various kindnesses which
characterize a good and a great heart. The fidelity
and zeal with which he served in the late Southern
army was the means of his becoming afflicted with
an inflammation and ulceration of the bowels
which soon sapped the foundation of his consti
tution and opened the way for a slow, but sure
dissolution. After returning from the army, he
engaged in the study of medicine, which he soon
mastered. After graduation he commenced prac
ticing, which was attended with unusual success.
But scarce one year and a half did he serve the ap
preciative public, and even while his star of skill
, and distinction was rapidly rising, when an aggra
vated form of the old disease attacked him, and
alas, to claim him a victim. Though sick a long
while, there was but little solicitude save for his
mother and sisters, on whose account he seemed
unwilling to allude to a probability of a fatal ter
mination of the disease, but when it became clear
ly apparent to him, he then conversed as freely as
his strength would allow of his relation to God,
and seemed to regret that his strength was too
feeble for him to say all that he desired. Thus the
public lost a benefactor, the church a friend and
advocate, and his family their chief earthly hope
and comfort—their last male member, aronnd
whom, since the late death of his father—ftfaj. J.
J. Underwood, and the more recent death of his
only brother, Hon. J. M. Underwood —their af
fections clung with an ardor that no language may
dare portray. After the death of his brother, in
April last, he appeared to have scarce a wish or
purpose but what looked to the service of his
mother and sisters. Even in his latest moments,
it was evident that he tried to appear to them as
though he was not so ill, so as, if possible, to
spare them a tear or save a pang. He joined the
church at a camp-meeting when very young, hut
never professed religion, and while away from home
in the army appeared to have gotten cold at heart,
but never to have given up to the enemy. In be

Richard William Dudley, one of the first set
tlers of the village of BennettsvlUe, died on Mon
day, the 28th day of November, 1870.
Modest and unobtrusive, he lived a life of retire
ment, quietly devoting himself to the duties de
volving upon him as a citizen, friend, neighbor,
and a Christian. He sought none of the prefer
ments of the world, nor asked its wealth. With
out any family of his own, keeping notiang for
himself, he freely gave of his little all toAthers,
and died penniless, with no other idea of property
than as a means in his hands to make otherAappy
But he was rich in the multitude of his friends.
He was one, as to whom the whole community
would rise np in a body and testify that not a blot
or a blemish rested npon his fair character. In a
life-time of seventy-six years, no enemy had sought
to do him harm, whilst friends greeted him in all
its lengthened stages, and extended the hand of
welcome wherever he went, within the bounds of
the circuit in which he moved Asa Christian,
his own walk attracted universal attention. There
seemed to be no alternations In his fervent, pousi
nature. At all times, under all circumstances, he
was the same steadfast believer, and his faith never
wavered. For forty years or more he was a mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal Chnrch, and gave
to its support all the energies of an honest heart,
refined and spiritualized by the religion which he
preferred He sought his happiness in the dis
charge of the high duties pertaining to that pro
fession, aDd as for all the rest that the world offer
ed np to his ambition, he freely surrendered it to
others as not worthy of his seeking. By the fire
sides of the numerous friends, whom he loved to
visit, he was cheerful and entetaining. With no
guile in his nature, his friendship for others was
sincere, and without stint Yet no one who knew
him would venture upon acts of vice or folly in
his presence; for he made no compromise with
either, and consequently rebuked, wherever he
found them. His motives were too well known to
give any offense. On the contrary, he oaly secured
the mere lasting respect aDd esteem of all those
whom he felt bound to reprove. He was known
to liave said to a friend who hastily made an un
guarded expression in his presence, and immedi
ately asked his pardon. “Don’t ask i.sy pardOD,
but ask pardon of God, for It is Ee whom you have
offended ” Such was the character of this vene
rable and pious friend, whom we have just buried.
He was of the salt of the earth, and society must
feel the loss of such a valuable exemplar. May
we all imitate his example, and may onr last end
bo like his! “A Relative.”
E. R. Barnhaudt was born in the year 1822,
embraced religion and joined the M. E. Church in
the year 1826, in Concord, N. C., and died of con
sumption in Caldwell co., Oct. 21, 1870.
He was a great sufferer for more than a year—the
last 4 months of his life being confined to bis bed.
During this long and painful affliction be possessed
his soul In patience. His whole life from the date
of his conversion was consecrated to God and His
Church. He was a living epistle, known and read
of all who knew him. The writer visited him fre
quently during his last Illness, always finding him
rejoicing in hope of the glory about to be revealed.
His exhortations to kindred and friends will not
soon be forgotten. When the final hour came he
still found his hope sure and steadfast. Perfectly
rational he told his friends the hour bad come. He
commended his children to God, giving them his
dying charge and blessing, exhorting all to meet
him in heaven The very last hour of tills good
man was spent inßhoutlngand praising God alond,
for His redeeming love and dying grace. He said,
during this hoar, to his friends that his sainted
wife, who had preceded him to the spirit land, was
present in the room with three others, to convey
his spirit to his heavenly home. He continued to
shout glory, glory, to the end.

William G. Pritchard, died on Nov. 15, 1870,
at his residence, the Horse Shoe Bend, in Talla
poosa co., Ala., from disease of the liver and drop
sy of the heart, and was buried at Eagle Creek
Chnrcb, in the fffty-ninth year of his age.
He moved from Meriwether co., Ga., near 25
years ago, to the place where he died. He was a
good neighbor, and a worthy citizen, an humble,
devoted, benevolent, and charitable Christian.
A member of the M. E. Church, South, for nearly
30 years; served as class leader, and circuit
Steward for many years, and finally the last twelve
in the ministry, as local preacher; wasoidalnedat
Auburn, Ala., in 1862. He was exact and correct
in his dealings, possessing principles, the most
honorable, and of the highest Christian tone, re
liable, confidential, and firm ; earnest and sincere
in devotion, and frequently upon revival occasions
his prayer seemed like an earthquake. He was a
good preacher, and a good man, in whom all de
nominations reposed confidence. Hia illness con
tinued about ten weeks. He suffered much, but
bore it cheerfully, telling his family hia work was
now done, and not to grieve, he was ready to go,
and did not fear to die. He was rational, and con
scious to the last. Had to sit up all the time, for
tbe last two or three days and nights. Death at
last came suddenly, and without a struggle, or a
gasp, he died in less than five minutes. His fune
ral will be preached on the Ist Sabbath lu April,
1871, at ttie place of his Interment.

Sister Sbalt E. Slater, daughter of Wm. and
Meky Howard, was born in Leon co., Florida, Jan.
15th, 1844, and died in Thomas co.,Ga., Oct. 17th,
1870.
She joined the Methodist E. Chnrcb, South, in
her 15th year, and remained a faithful member to
the day of her departure. What Is said of Mary,
may be truly said of her, “She hath done what
she could.” She was rooted and grounded in
evangelical faith—that gave her the victory over
the world, the flesh and the devil. She was not
only a member of the Church, but observed its
ordinances, and adorned her profession by a godly
walk and exemplary life. The ground of her re
joicing was, her name was written in heaven. All
who knew her, loved her. Asa wife she was de
voted ; as mother, kind and affectionate. Her
sweet little Annie preceded her to that fairer world
on high, only two days. She left no dying testi
mony, hut her life of devotion to God, and conse
cration to the Church, is sufficient reason to be
lieve that she has received an eternal Inheritance
among all them that arc sanctified. How she
lived Is more important than how she died. May
the Lord, who doeth all things well, Banctify this
dispensation of His providence to the salvation of
her bereaved husband, mourning parents, and
weeping brothers and sisters. W. Lane.
Miss Martha Caroline, eldest daughter of
Thos. D. Ousley, died in Bibb co., Ga., cn the 7th
Dec., after a brief illness, in the 19th year of her
age.
This lovely young lady, just blooming into wo
manhood, was the pride and joy of doting parents.
Modest, gentle, dutiful, she was all that a daughter
could be, and her character was developing .under
tge Influence of piety into the most beautiful
symmetry. Three years ago she publicly assumed
the vows of religion, and her life since that time
has been marked by the most consistent piety.
Her closet and her Bible were never neglected,
and her happiest moments were spent in the dis
charge of religious duty. Though blooming in
health and with every reason to expect long life,
stern disease in a few short days accomplished its
cruel task and consigned her to an early grave.
Her pure, guileless character remains as a precious
memory to mourning kindred, and assuages the
grief of their irreparable loss. She has entered
upon a life of immortal youth in Heaven. May
loved ones meet her there! Her Pastor.
Rev. Hope Watts, was born Jan. 11, 1791, in
Greene co., Ga., and died June 24, at his son-in
law’s, Stephen C. King, of Polk co., Ga.
Father Watts was one of the most industrious
men of his day; indeed, if men are sometimes in
temperate in manual labors, deceased was one of
that class. It was never the privilege of the wri
ter to hear father Watts preach, but it is the tes
timony of those who knew him best, that the ef
fectiveness of his preaching was more on a result
of a godly walk and conversation than eloquence
in the pulpit; hence, those who knew him best
were most Impressed with his preaching, for they
heard precepts exemplified by a daily walk. De
ceased was converted in 1812 andjoinedihe church
the same year. In well nigh his own language he
joined the M. E. Church, intending, by the grace
of God, to live and dieaMethodist, which pious
resolve he most, faithfulbg-kepk He left quite a
number of children, among whom are Joseph
Watts, of Polk co.', and Doctor Watts,"of Cave
Spring. John A. Retnolds.
Mrs. Winniford Sessions, wife of Asa Ses
sions, deceased—formerly of Pike co., Ga, and
mother of Judge Wm. M. Sessions, died in great
peace, at Blackshear, Ga., Oct., Ist, 1870, In the
78th year of her age.
For many years she has been an inmate of Judge
Sessions’ family—the loved, the venerated of all
in the happy circle—moving about the house in a
quiet, meek way, yet always exhibiting a sweet
Christian spirit, with a pleasing conversation to
any who should be favored with an interview. She
is greatly missed, but she “rests from her labors
and her works do follow” her. How street Is her
memory to the surviving—how triumphant her
passage over the river. J. W. Simmons.

Georgia Scenes, and the correctness of your Geor

have written. If our once great, but now wronged

Most of the ailments here enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most preva

the patient is not within reach of a physician, It

yet be active and safe. That such is the character
of the SIMMONS’ REGULATOR, there can be
no doubt, the testimony of hundreds will establish.

lil V P/K Ider blade; is sometimes mis
±Jt~ ' I taken for rheumatism in the
arm. The stomach is affected
with lobs of appetite and sickness, bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with
a dull, heavy sensation. There is generally con
siderable loss of memory, accompanied with a pain
ful sensation of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A slight dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin ; his spir
its are low; and although satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try It. In fact he
distrusts every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases have oc
curred when few of them existed, yet examination
of the body after death, has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear.
It is a purely vegetable compound, is not injurious
to the most delicate constitutions, and will keep
the liver in healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid
all billiouß attacks by taking a dose occasionally to
keep the liver in healthy action.
